Description

Multifunctional Matt for Pet

The present invention relates to a mat for companion animals, and more particularly, to a multifunctional mat for companion animals having cooling, heat and sterilization functions/skin/muscle care functions.

Pets such as dogs, cats, and hamsters mainly live in the rooms or living rooms of the house. As interest in companion animals increases, the demand for clothing, food, and daily necessities for companion animals is increasing in order to keep companion animals healthy and stylish, and their development is actively progressing.

As companion animal products, products are being developed that can solve the problems of companion animals who feel cold outdoors or in winter when the indoor temperature is low. As such products, heating mats and heating pads for companion animals that generate heat so that companion animals do not feel cold have been developed and used in various forms.

As an example of the prior art, a heating mat for companion animals is disclosed in which a planar heating element that generates heat by a power source is wrapped with an insulator. However, this prior art can provide a warm mat to companion animals by maintaining a warm temperature by the heat generated from the planar heating element, but there is a disadvantage in that it is not possible to provide a cool mat in summer.

As another prior art, there is disclosed a cold/warm mat for companion animals including a thermoelectric element that generates cold and heat as power is applied. However, this prior art has a high cost due to its complex configuration, and on the other hand, has a disadvantage in that it cannot provide the sterilization function/skin/muscle care function to be provided by the present invention.

The sterilization/care mat 220c may provide a sterilization function/skin/muscle care function to companion animals by emitting near-infrared and/or UV through the operation of the near-infrared LED 221 and/or the UV LED 222 .

The sterilization effect of ultraviolet (UV) is especially in the UV-C range of 200 to 280 nm, which penetrates the cell membranes of various bacteria such as bacteria and viruses, and damages or destroys DNA so that cell proliferation does not occur anymore. is known to do The sterilization/care mat 220c according to the present invention may include a UV LED 222 , and thus may provide a sterilization action against various bacteria such as bacteria and viruses that may exist in companion animals.

On the other hand, the effects of near-infrared rays on humans and animals include: increase in the temperature of the subcutaneous layer, expansion of microvessels, promotion of blood circulation, enhancement of metabolism between blood and the human body and other tissues, elimination of blood disorders, tissue regeneration ability or anticonvulsant It has been shown to increase the ability, etc., and at the same time, it has been found to have the effect of suppressing abnormal excitability of the sensory nerve and adjusting the function of the autonomic nerve. Moreover, since near-infrared rays have a long wavelength, the scattering effect by fine particles is smaller than that of ultraviolet or visible light, and the penetration effect (40-50 mm) into the skin is high, so that the surface and the inside of the subject are uniformly heated at the same time. In the traditional treatment, infrared rays are transmitted deep into the skin, so the effect is much greater and the heat loss is reduced. The effects of near-infrared rays that have been scientifically proven so far on animals, especially the human body, are: temperature increase of the subcutaneous layer of the skin, expansion of microvessels, anti-inflammatory effect, analgesic effect, anti-edema effect, wound healing effect, promotion of blood circulation, blood and human body It has been proven to be effective in suppressing abnormal excitability of sensory nerves and modulating functions of autonomic nerves, etc. It has been widely used in the field. The sterilization/care mat 220c according to the present invention may include a near-infrared LED 221, and accordingly, it is possible to provide such skin/muscle care functions for companion animals.

The sterilization/care mat 220c may also include a controller connection unit 223 for connecting the near-infrared LED 221 and/or the UV LED 222 and the sterilization/care mat controller 240 .
