Description

Foldable warmer

The present invention relates to a warmer, and more specifically, by using the heat transmitted by the heating unit, it is possible to fold a warmer that relieves the pain of the human body, such as muscle pain or back pain, as well as the benefits of far-infrared and anion effects beneficial to the human body. Not only does it allow for easy storage, but it is also a folding heater that can be carried and used due to its small volume.It opens and closes only when an abnormality is applied by the tension force of the spring when it is folded or unfolded. It is about.

In general, when the human nervous system is stimulated by massage or acupressure, each neural tissue and acupuncture points are massaged to smoothly circulate blood, thereby smoothing out metabolism and obtaining excellent therapeutic effect. It becomes possible.

Shiatsu or massage as described above has an excellent treatment effect, so that the general public is a lot of acupressure or massage, a heater has been developed to maximize the effect.

The warmer transfers heat generated by the built-in heating element to the ceramic, and when heat is applied to the ceramic, the far infrared rays which are beneficial to the human body are radiated in proportion to the temperature. Use for promotion.

However, such a conventional warmer has a problem that the far-infrared effect caused by ceramics is not intended to treat specific diseases but contributes to the overall metabolism of the human body, and focuses on disease prevention rather than being used for therapeutic purposes. .

In addition, the conventional warmer has a complicated structure, not only very inconvenient to use, but also its size is very large, there is a disadvantage that can not be carried, and because the price is expensive, there was a limit to use by the general public.

Therefore, there is an urgent need for a portable heater.

Looking at the prior art of such a portable warmer, a portable warmer has been devised, which is published in Korean Utility Model Model No. 20-2000-0033780, which has a convex shape formed by a plurality of hypotenuses inclined along its circumference, and is downward in the center thereof. Hexagonal holes are opened to form a hexagonal lower case formed with a plurality of bolt fixing parts in the upper surface, and a nut fixing portion corresponding to the bolt fixing portion is formed so that the bottom case and the bolt is coupled, the upper surface A convex shape is formed by a plurality of hypotenuses which are inclined along this circumference, and a close contact portion having a predetermined area having a hexagonal edge is formed on the central upper surface thereof.

The upper case in which the star-shaped protruding frame is formed in the close contact portion, and the magnesium oxide that is collected by heating the heating plate and the heating plate is filled therein, the outer side corresponding to the bolt nut fixing portion of the upper and lower cases A heating part provided with a fixing piece having a bort hole formed therein so as to be fixed by a bort passing through the surface;

A switch sensor unit which is switched when the power is applied through a jack fixing unit provided on the corresponding surface of the upper and lower cases to apply power to the heating plate and to automatically turn off when the temperature of the heating plate is higher than a predetermined temperature;

It has a seating jaw on the outside to be fixed to pass through the hexagonal hole in a predetermined width from the inside of the lower case, it is composed of a heat generating portion made of a ceramic material to conduct the heating heat generated from the heating portion to the outside.

However, this conventional technology has a problem in that the usability is degraded by the coupling operation and the separation operation of the constituent members by using each of the constituent members in combination with a bolt and nut, one component of one of the bolts and nuts often loosened or combined There is a problem that can not be used as a warmer when you lose.

As another example, there is a medical warmer that can be separated and assembled as disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2007-0025218, which is a medical warmer that can be separated and assembled, and includes a heat radiation wire (not shown) whose temperature is controlled by a control panel. Is formed in an arc shape, the detachable means is connected to be connected to a semi-circular shape when connecting one or more bodies in an arc direction,

The at least one body has a connecting portion to which the heat radiation is connected, and the second detachable portion formed on the front and rear of the body so as to have a curtain portion covering the front and back of the body to be detached from the front and rear of the body. .

In the prior art, each of the components can be separated and assembled, which is advantageous in that they can be carried. However, in order to use the separated components, the components must be assembled and used one by one. Or if the storage is to be separated again, such as the assembling work and separation work is repeatedly performed, the situation is causing inconvenience to the user.

The present invention has been devised to solve the problems of the conventional warmer, the heater is composed of both sides and the central portion, but when used to configure the both sides and the central portion can be folded to use both sides to extend from the central portion If you do not want to store or carry when moving, by folding both sides from the center portion to reduce the volume can be expected to improve storage and portability, as well as simple folding and unfolding can solve the inconvenience of usability The purpose is to provide a collapsible warmer.

The foldable warmer of the present invention as a means for achieving the above object, the left heating body is composed of a first heating portion on the inner surface; A central heating element configured on an inner surface of the second heating part electrically connected to the first heating part of the left heating element;

The third heating portion electrically connected to the second heating portion of the central heating body is composed of a right heating body configured on the inner surface, and the left heating body, the central heating body and the right heating body are configured at the edges at which these heating elements are in contact with each other. It is characterized in that the connection is configured to be folded and unfolded by the folded portion.

The folded portion, the fitting groove portion formed in each of the both sides of the central heating body; Fitting parts formed at edges of the left and right heaters, which are in contact with both sides of the central heater, so as to be fitted into the fitting grooves formed on both sides of the central heater; Fitting protrusions protruding from both sides of the fitting part; It is coupled to the inner surface side of the fitting groove portion is made to include a cover for protecting the fitting groove portion and the fitting portion.

A control unit for adjusting the temperature of the first, second, third heat generating unit side is further configured on the outer surface of the one side heating unit of the first heat generating unit.

The foldable warmer of the present invention, by heating the inner part of the neuralgia or muscle pain by the heating part configured to radiate far-infrared rays or negative ions to relieve the pain of the patient, the inner side of the left heating element is composed of a heating part And the right heating body as well as the central heating body are configured to be foldable by the folding part. Therefore, in use, the left heating body and the right heating body are spread out from the central heating body side and used as a leg function to support the heater. In the case of storing or carrying without, it is possible to improve the space utilization for storage by reducing the volume of the heater by folding the left and right heating elements toward the central heating element side, and it is easy to carry and improves mobility.
