Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In recent years, conductive heat-generating glass called warm glass (registered trademark) has been developed. This is a high temperature deposition (spray deposition) in a furnace by chemical vapor deposition on the surface of a thin glass plate with several metallic substances added to a solution based on tin oxide (SnO2). Thus, a transparent transparent conductive film is formed, and an electrode is baked on the end portion and energized to generate heat on the entire glass surface.

Although this example is configured as a chair for two persons, of course, the present invention is not limited to such a chair, and a chair such as a chair for one person or a bench on which many people sit. It may be.

In the heating glass chair 1 of the embodiment of FIG. 1, two front and

rear leg columns

2 and 3 are connected to both ends and the center respectively by a cross beam member 5 at the upper end, and a back column 6 is connected to the upper end of the rear leg 3. The machine frame of the chair 1 is formed. A seat portion 7 is attached so as to connect the cross beam members 5 of each machine frame, and a back plate 8 is attached to support the back when a person sits across the back pillars 6. Here, the seat portion 7 and the back plate 8 are constituted by the transparent heat generating glass plate on which the conductive film described above is formed. Electrodes 9 and 10 are formed on both ends of the heat generating glass plate of the seat portion 7 and the back plate 8, respectively, and further, the conductive wires 12 of the power cord 11 are connected to these electrodes 9 and 10 and connected to the power source. . The stool seat 7 and the back plate 8 are tempered with a predetermined thickness so that they can sufficiently withstand the load when a person is sitting. The electrodes 9, 10 and the tempered glass are integrated with the heat generation glass plate by heat treatment in a dedicated furnace together with the heat generation glass plate. The thickness of the seat portion 7 and the back plate 8 reinforced with the tempered glass plate depends on the type and size of the chair, but is selected to be, for example, about 3.2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm.

In addition, the heating temperature of the heating glass chair 1 is set to a normal bath water temperature, for example, 30 ° C. to 42 ° C., which is just right for people to warm up. It can change suitably according to outside temperature. In this embodiment, a variable resistor 13 is provided in the conducting wire 12 of the power cord 11 drawn from the electrodes 9 and 10 of the heat generating glass plate, and the temperature can be controlled by changing the current resistance to the heat generating glass plate. It is. As another example, a temperature sensor 15 is attached to an appropriate chair body portion of the heating glass chair 1, for example, a machine frame portion in this embodiment, and a resistance control device 17 is provided attached to the variable resistor 13. The temperature of the heating glass chair 1 is controlled by automatically adjusting the resistance value of the variable resistor 13 via the resistance control device 17 based on the outside temperature detection signal of the temperature sensor 15. Thus, for example, the temperature of the glass chair 1 can be raised when the outside air temperature is low in the morning, evening, or night, and the temperature of the heating glass chair 1 can be automatically lowered when the temperature rises during the daytime. In addition, a temperature sensor is attached to the seat portion 7 or the back plate 8 and the resistance value of the variable resistor 13 is automatically adjusted via the resistance control device 17 according to the temperature detection signal of the heating glass chair body, thereby heating the glass chair. 1 temperature control may be performed.

It is also possible to automatically adjust the resistance value of the heater 13 to control the temperature of the heating glass chair 1.

Furthermore, even if the commercial rated voltage varies from country to country, it is possible to appropriately cope with installation in other countries by determining the energization resistance value for the voltage of that country. When the set temperature is 30 ° C. to 42 ° C., the energization current is approximately 10 to 20 amperes.

electrodes

25 and 26 are respectively provided and connected to the power source via an energizing cable (not shown). Each of the

electrodes

In general, heat-generating glass has a slow temperature rise after energization, but is slow to cool down after the current is cut off, and is characterized by maintaining a warm state for a while. Therefore, in the case of a chaise longue, a long bench, or a horizontally long stool, the heating glass plate is divided into a plurality of pieces, and the energization and the interruption are repeated at regular time intervals, for example, every 10 seconds to 30 seconds.

At the same time, the adjacent exothermic glass plate 23 (3) (No. (3 glass plates) are energized, and the energization and interruption of the four heat generating glass plates 23 (1) to 23 (4) are repeated in a certain cycle. In this way, a long bench or stool can ensure a substantially constant temperature as a whole while saving power.

electrodes

35 and 36 are energized can be warmed. . In this case as well, the heat generating glass plate 32 is integrally formed with a tempered glass plate 33 having good thermal conductivity for reinforcement.

The temperature of the heating back 30 is controlled by automatically adjusting the resistance value of the variable resistor 39 via the resistance control device 40 based on the outside air temperature detection signal 38. Thus, for example, the temperature of the heating back 30 can be raised when the outside air temperature is low in the morning, evening, or night, and the temperature of the heating back 30 can be automatically lowered when the temperature rises during the daytime. In addition, a switch mechanism 41 and a switch control device 42 that controls on / off of the switch mechanism 41 are provided on the energization line 12 of the power cable 11. When the temperature drops to the point where heating is not necessary, the switch mechanism 41 provided on the energizing wire 12 is turned off via the switch control device 42 by the signal of the sensor 38, thereby automatically heating the backrest. Saving power by turning off the power to 30.

Further, in the heating backrest 30 in which the temperature drop due to the outside air temperature is relatively small, the correlation between the current value flowing through the conducting wire 12 connected to the heating backrest 30 and the temperature is relatively stable, so that a current meter (not shown) Based on this signal, the switch control device 42 controls on / off of the switch mechanism 41 or automatically adjusts the resistance value of the variable resistor 39 via the resistance control device 40 by using this signal. 1 temperature control can also be performed.

Furthermore, if necessary, a human sensor (not shown) is attached to a tempered glass plate 33 that reinforces the heat generating glass plate 32 of the heating backrest 30. 12 is controlled by automatically switching the resistance value of the variable resistor 39 via the resistance control device 40 according to the detection signal of the human sensor.

Of course. Further, as described in the second embodiment, when the heat generating glass plate 32 close to a person's height is long in the side, it may be divided into a plurality of pieces. Moreover, such a heating backrest can be installed not only in the outdoors but also in various places such as near an indoor bulletin board such as a library or near the front of a newspaper stand.

In addition, in the heating back of the present invention, a special effect can be exhibited by adding various accessories using the power to the heating back. For example, it is possible to arrange an LED on the heating back so as to exhibit an optical effect, or to provide a function such as putting a light-emitting advertisement or illumination display.

In this way, the temperature rise after heating is slow, but it is slow to cool after turning off the power. In addition, it is possible to provide a soft warmth suitable for a person to warm up.
