The ceramic housing 10, when using the portable thermal steamer 1 of the present invention, directly comes into contact with the body to provide a massage by heating and compression, while also providing a thermal massage with a ceramic heat plate 20 and heat storage-heat dissipation. The sieve 30 is a case member that is built in so that it is not exposed to the outside.

As a material applied to the ceramic housing 10, as is widely known, a ceramic harmless to the human body is applied, which emits far-infrared rays and negative ions that are known to be useful to the human body, and has a characteristic of cooling slowly due to low thermal conductivity.

As a ceramic material applied to the ceramic housing 10, for example, according to the 'Method for Manufacturing Irregular Pattern Porcelain' of Korean Patent No. 10-1057156, developed by the present inventor, it is molded into clay and then unglazed (fired). In this case, porcelain (ceramic) manufactured by glazing and chaebol roasting (firing) can be applied, thereby not only enjoying the low thermal conductivity and far-infrared and negative ion effects of ceramics, but also as illustrated in FIG. It is possible to provide a luxurious poultice apparatus in which irregular patterns 10a of various colors are expressed.

The ceramic housing 10 is composed of two upper and lower ceramic housings 10, and each ceramic housing 10 has a concave space 11 formed in it, and the upper and lower ceramic housings 10 are overlapped and joined so that the space 11 faces each other. When it is done, the entire ceramic housing 10 is in the form of a round and flat disk with an empty inside.

In the present invention, the shape of the ceramic housing 10 is typically expressed as a 'disk', but in the present invention, the 'disk shape' is not only a case of a circular shape as shown in FIG. It is meant to include the flat form of the older brother.

In the illustrated embodiment, the through hole 13 formed in the rim 12 around the outer periphery of the ceramic housing 10 includes AC and DC power terminals 51a and 51b for connecting power to the power circuit 50 . hole for installation.

The wall-thickness of the ceramic housing 10 may be about 5 mm, but not limited thereto, to match the characteristics of a heat storage and heat dissipating poultice, and not to be easily broken.

The ceramic heat transfer plate 20 is a heat transfer element that generates heat by energizing, and is partly used as a heating material in a hair iron (hair iron) or a hair dryer, etc., also called a 'ceramic heater'. .

As is widely known, the ceramic heating plate 20 may be manufactured in the same way as, for example, forming a carbon heating wire circuit on a thin ceramic plate of about 1 mm by printing, and then applying the ceramic again.

The ceramic heating plate 20 has good withstand voltage characteristics and good insulation resistance, so that noise does not occur when energized, and in particular, when current is energized, it heats up very quickly enough to reach hundreds of degrees in a short time within 30 seconds, In addition, when heat is generated, far-infrared rays and negative ions are emitted due to the characteristics of the ceramic material.

Therefore, since the steam heater 1 according to the present invention to which the ceramic heat plate 20 is applied can be quickly heated by supplying power for a very short time of, for example, about 5 minutes, the heating standby time can be reduced, and Far-infrared rays and negative ions are radiated not only from the ceramic housing 10 made of ceramic material but also from the heating plate 20 made of ceramic material, so that the useful effects thereof can be doubled and enjoyed.

The ceramic heat plate 20, for example, can be applied to be heated to about 230 °C to 270 °C, preferably about 250 °C. If the heating temperature of the ceramic heat transfer plate 20 is excessively low or high, the amount of heat of the hot compress may be weak or excessive, which may be undesirable.

The specific example shown in FIG. 2 is about 15 mm long, about 70 mm wide (horizontal), and about 1 mm thick, and is an example of applying two ceramic heat transfer plates 20 that can be heated to about 250 ° C., one of which is AC. A ceramic heat transfer plate for power supply 20a, and the last one is a ceramic heat transfer plate 20b for DC power. Of course, it is also possible to apply only one ceramic heat plate 20 for AC or DC power.

The heat storage-heating body 30 is a member that conducts heat generated from the ceramic heat transfer plate 20 by energization, stores (stores) the received heat, and cools it while slowly dissipating heat.

The heat accumulator-heat sink 30 and the ceramic heat plate 20 connect the ceramic heat plate 20 to the heat storage-heat sink 30 so as to efficiently conduct the heat of the ceramic heat plate 20 to the heat storage-heat sink 30 . ) and install it in surface-contact state.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the heat storage-heating body 30 on which the ceramic heat plate 20 is mounted is accommodated in the space 11 of the ceramic housing 10 .

The heat storage-heat sink 30 is required to be able to effectively conduct heat from the ceramic heat transfer plate 20 and effectively dissipate the conducted heat transfer, for this reason, the heat storage-heat sink 30 has high thermal conductivity and It is made of relatively inexpensive aluminum.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the heat storage-heating body 30 made of an aluminum material has an approximately rectangular parallelepiped shape with a width and a length of approximately 70 mm and a thickness of approximately 15 mm, and a ceramic heat transfer plate 20 is disposed on one side. It is an example in which two mounting grooves 31 for inserting and mounting with a surface contact are formed side by side, and a concave-convex heat dissipation blade 32 is formed on the other side so that the accumulated heat is well dissipated by increasing the surface area. doesn't happen

The ceramic heat plate 20 mounted to be in surface contact with the mounting groove 31 of the heat storage-heat sink 30 is, for example, after laminating the fixing plate 33 on the ceramic heat plate 20, the mounting groove 31 is zigzag It can be fixed with a fixing pin 34 that crosses the

The thermal insulation-buffering material 40 is a member filled to surround the periphery of the heat storage-heating body 30, and by insulating and keeping the heat emitted by the heat storage-heating body 30, heat storage-heating body 30 The heat transfer is gradually transferred to the ceramic housing 10 little by little, and the heat storage-heating body 30 and the surrounding ceramic housing 10 collide with each other to cushion damage.

Therefore, as the insulation-buffering material 40 , a material having good insulation and buffering performance is applied, for example, it is preferable to apply a ceramic fiber-based ceramic insulation-buffering material such as commercially available brand cerakwool.

When the ceramic insulation-buffer material 40 is applied, the heat storage-heating body 30 made of an aluminum material rapidly heated by the heat transfer of the ceramic heat transfer plate 20, despite its high conductivity, gradually radiates heat over a long time. As a result, the ceramic housing 10 can maintain a heating temperature in the range of 70° C.-40° C. for a long time.

In the illustrated embodiment, the ceramic insulation-buffering material 40 in the form of a disk having a size corresponding to the shape of the space 11 of the ceramic housing 10 (the illustrated embodiment is circular), and heat storage-heating body 30 It is an example in which two upper and lower parts are applied to cover and cover the lower part and upper part of the , and the present invention is not limited thereto.

This is an example, and therefore, the user applies the AC power cable 2 or the DC power cable 3 as shown in FIG. 5, depending on the usage environment of the steam generator 1, and the AC power circuit 50a and the DC power supply. One of the circuits 50a may be selected and used. Of course, application of only one of the AC power circuit 50a and the DC power circuit 50b is not excluded.

By installing the bimetal temperature switch 52 in the power circuit 50 , it is possible to prevent the steam generator 1 from overheating or unnecessary use of electricity.

The bimetal temperature switch 52 may be applied to interrupt the power in the range of 70 ℃ to 80 ℃. If the set temperature of the bimetal temperature switch 52 is excessively low or high, the amount of heat of the warm compress is weak or excessive, which is not preferable.

In the case of the illustrated embodiment, a bimetal temperature switch 52 that blocks the circuit when the temperature exceeds 75° C. is applied to the power circuit 50, but by attaching the switch 52 to the bottom of the inner surface of the ceramic housing 10, the bimetallic The temperature switch 52 is not directly heated by the heat storage-heating body 30 , but is heated in a state insulated by the heat insulation-buffering material 40 .
