Here, the reason why the yellow soil stick 32 is filled the air of 10% is just to maximize the effect to keep the heat retained in the yellow soil power of the yellow soil stick 32 in the case of applying the heat to the yellow soil stick 32.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the length of the yellow soil stick 32 is 70mm, the width of the hot water supplying tube inserting hole 23 is 20mm, the width interval where first and second hot water supplying tubes 40 are arranged is within 10mm, and there are connected each of open and closed valves 40A and 40B for using for one person or two persons in the openings of the first and second hot water supplying tubes 40. That is, in the event of using only any one of the open and closed valves (40A or 40B), the used open and closed valve is used for one person.

Accordingly, when one person lays on the mat with setting the general adult on the basis of this mat, 7 and 8 lines of the hot water supplying tube 40s are passed in downward direction of the human body.

So as to emit the heat into the yellow soil stick 32 and the upper outer cover 10, the hot water supplying tubes 40 of the diameter of 4mm and inserted and arranged in the format of U are installed in each of the hot water supplying tube inserting hole 23 of the pair of the film papers 19 and 20.

In the case of using the mat according to the present invention as the use standard for one person, the amount of the water supplied to the hot water supplying tubes 40 is slightly 150ml to 200ml then to minimize the power consumption.

Also, the hot water supplying means for supplying the hot water to the hot water supplying tubes 40 is as follows. That is to say, the openings of the hot water supplying tubes 40 are interfaced to the outlet of the heat tube 204 of the copper, the outlets of the hot water supplying tubes 40 are connected to the inlet of the hot water pump 202 for forcibly circulating the hot water in the hot water supplying tubes 40, wherein the hot water pump 202 is directly connected to the output of the circulation motor 200, the heat line 206 is arranged to heat the hot water carried into the heat tube 204 around the circumference of the heat tube 204, the heat generated in the heat line 206 fulled with heat shield 208 just as the plaster within the heat tube 204 and the heat tube case 210 is concentrated on the heat tube 204, the circulation motor 200 is installed in the interior of the motor housing 212, the motor housing 212 is connected with the heat tube case 210 in the unitary format, and the temperature sensor 214 is equipped in the heat shield 208 to measure the emitting temperature of the heat line 206.

Meanwhile, the motor housing 212 and the heat tube case 210 are equipped with one control box 220 and the temperature controlling device 100 for controlling the temperature of the heat line 206 and adjusting the temperature of the hot water supplying tubes 40 is installed in the interior of the control box 220.

Therefore, the hot water mat using the yellow soil according to the present invention is compactly installed with boiler devices for heating the hot water supplied into the hot water supplying tube 40s, that is, the heat tube 204, the hot water pump 202, and the circulation motor 200.

At this time, the circulation motor 200 is preferably arranged at the position where the foot of the person is placed on the mat upon using the mat according to the present invention for sleeping, so that minute noise generated in the circulation motor 200 can not disturb the sleeping.

The temperature controlling device 100 which controls the amount of the electric current flown at the heat line 206 which and adjusts the temperature of the hot water circulating the interior of the hot water supplying tubes 40 will be not described hereinafter because the present invention uses a general temperature adjusting device as the means for adjusting the temperature of the hot water.

Meantime, as the means for protecting the hot water supplying tubes 40 in correspondence with the temperature variations of the hot water circulating the interior of the hot water supplying tubes 40, a pak 70 for protecting the hot water supplying tubes 40 (hereinafter, referred to as "pak") of a vinyl or a rubber is connected to the hot water supplying tubes 40, having a buffer room 71 connected through a connection horse 42. (Refer to FIGs. 1 and 6.)

Namely, the buffer room 71 of the pak 70 contracts upon the temperature of the hot water in the interior of the hot water supplying tubes 40 is lowered and, on the contrary, expands upon the temperature of the hot water therein is raised.

There is a rubber stopper 72 equipped in the pak 70 to inserting a piston 1 for hot water supplement for supplementing the hot water in the interior of the hot water supplying tubes 40.

A heat shield plate 60 for enhancing the heat efficiency by closing the conveyance of the heat generated in the hot water supplying tubes 40 to the bottom surface, is placed between the lower film paper 20 and the lower outer cover 11. (As shown in FIG. 3.) Hereinafter, the effect and the operation of the present invention constructed as stated above will be expressed in detail.

Primarily, when the electric current is supplied from a temperature controlling device 100 connected with the power supply to the heat line 206, the heat line 206 is emitted. Then, the heat emitted in the heat line 206 is conveyed into the heat tube 204 enclosed with the heat line 206, thereby heating the water in the heat tube 204 in a short time.

Simultaneously, once the circulation motor 200 is driven, the hot water pump 202 initiates the hot water pumping. As a result, the hot water heated in the heat tube 204 is circulated through the hot water supplying tubes 40.

As stated hereinbefore, the heat emitted from the hot water while circulating the interior of the hot water supplying tubes 40 is transmitted into a plurality of the yellow soil sticks 32, the above yellow soil stick being arranged around the upper outer cover 10, the heat shield plate 60, and the first and second hot water supplying tubes 40. (This corresponds to the case that the open and closed valves 40A and 40B are all open.)

Then, the heat shield plate 60 discloses at the medium the heat transmitted to the lower outer cover 11 and concentrates the heat on the upper outer cover 10 and the yellow soil stick 32. As a result, the heat is emitted from the upper outer cover 10 and the heat conveyed to the yellow soil stick 32 heats the yellow soil stick 32, at the same time, thereby activating the emission of the infrared rays.

Resultedly. when the person lays on the upper outer cover 10, the present invention has the effect that the waste material of the human body is discharged due to the action of the infrared rays and the negative ion, thereby in harmony, circulating the energy of the body human. As well, since the electromagnetic wave harm to the human body has no effect to the human body, the present invention can be used with no problem for usage.

In the meantime, in the step of circulating the hot water as stated previously, when the temperature of the hot water in the interior of the hot water supplying tube 40s is raised, the buffer room 71 positioned in the interior of the pak 70 connected with the hot water supplying tube 40s is expanded by the reason of expansion of the hot water. On the contrary, when the temperature of the hot water therein is lowered, the buffer room 71 of the pak 70 is contracted to thereby protect the hot water supplying tubes 40.

Meanwhile, the present invention can be constructed with connecting serially a plurality of bundles of the yellow soil sticks to enhance the assembly of the yellow soil stick 32 inserted into the yellow soil stick inserting hole 24 of the film paper 20, as shown in FIG. 7.

Further, as depicted in FIG. 9, the present invention can be constructed with sticking a slider zipper 8 at the other side except for one side then to form a fomentation room in the interior by folding the outer cover 10 into 2.

Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the present invention can be constructed with arranging the yellow soil stick inserting hole 24 of the pair of the film papers 19 and 20 in zigzag and with laying the hot water supplying tubes 40 in the consequentially zigzag format.

At the same time, while the present invention is described with being limited for use examples of the above embodiments according to the present invention (for sleeping and fomentation), but the present invention is not defined for the above use examples thereof and can be used as the fomentation mat of the physical therapy or a cushion with reducing the size of the mat.

In addition, the hot water supplying tubes of the present invention is capable of using a heating device which utilizes the semiconductor device except for technique as stated above and of using an antifreezing solution or an oil with deduction of the water in the hot water supplying tubes. And also, the hot water supplying tube protecting means can dissolve and assemble the pak 70 with the hot water supplying tubes, not in the example of FIG. 6. In this event, it is convenient that the pak in itself is replaced with the new without supplementing the water with the piston. Of course, the above pak can be used as the format of not the small cymbals but the simple tube and the quality of the pak uses the metal as well as the base metal.

In the course of the junction of the film, the present invention can use not sealing method but adhesion method. If the occasion should arise, the present invention can sew the film. Likewise, it is natural that the format of the section of the yellow soil stick can be changed variously such as a flat format or a square.. Also, the present invention can use for outdoor with using the battery.

As may be apparent from the foregoing, the present invention can enhance the assembly ability because the yellow soil stick is installed at the mat with using two film papers having both sealing surfaces and the mat is made with construction of inserting the yellow soil stick. In comparison with the conventional electrical heating method, with making the mat to be warm by the heat of the hot water, the present invention minimizes the electric wave harm to the human body and obtains not only comfortable sleeping but also the effect good for the human body. Finally, the hot water mat according to the present invention can use in various places because movement is convenient and easy keeping.

While there have been illustrated and described what are considered to be preferred embodiments of the present invention, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made, and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the true scope of the present invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation to the teaching of the present invention without departing from the central scope thereof.
