The present invention relates to a hot water mat for a bed, and more particularly, a mat portion in which a circulation pipe is arranged is provided with a separate accommodation portion for fixing the circulation pipe at a specific position, and between the circulation pipes arranged between the circulation pipes. It is to be equipped with a filling member that can fill the end, not only can be easily rolled up to use the mat portion, but also to reduce the body phenomena on the bed hot water mat for maximum convenience, practicality, and comfort for the user It is about.

Heating mats require local heating or are used for temporary heating in seasons. There are electric mats and hot water mats.

In the past, the electric heating wire is arranged over the entire inner surface of the mat, the electric mat using the heat generated by the heating wire is the mainstream,

Recently, due to the danger of electromagnetic waves, the risk of fire and the risk of electric shock, hot water mats have been spotlighted by arranging circulation pipes inside the mat and using the heat generated by the hot water flowing through the circulation pipes. In other words, the hot water mat refers to a heating apparatus that uses hot water as a heat source, unlike the electric mat, and does not use electricity, and thus has a high energy efficiency.

Looking at the configuration of such a conventional hot water mat, a bed having a cushioning force, a hot water pipe (circulation pipe) is formed in a zigzag pipe circulating over the entire upper surface of the bed to circulate the hot water, the whole surface of the bed on which the hot water pipe is laid The outer shell surrounding the hot water pipe and connected to both ends of the hot water pipe is configured to include a hot water boiler (hot water circulation pump) for supplying hot water heated to an appropriate temperature.

However, in the case of a conventional hot water mat, the bed has a cushion property, but the hot water pipe does not have a cushion property, so when the user uses the hot water pipe simply laid on the bed, the user is in contact with the hot water pipe. Cuts occur in body parts, resulting in a lot of inconvenience.

In addition, in Korea, hot mats are used only for a certain period of winter or seasons, so when the mat is folded and stored in a closet for a long period of time without the need for hot mats, the circulating pipe may bend or crack in the folded portion. , If bending occurs in the circulating pipe, the circulation of hot water is not smooth, so that the heating function cannot be exerted, and when the crack is generated, the water flows out through the crack, thereby preventing the use of the heating mat itself.

In order to solve the above problems, Republic of Korea Utility Model No. 400923 『Fluid Thermal Mats』 (2005.11.03), Registration Utility Model No. 423979 『Hot Water Mat』 (2006.08.08), Registration Utility Model No. 434086 『Water Circular bedding ”(December 11, 2006) and the like,

Registered Utility Model No. 400923 『Fluid Thermal Mats』 is equipped with a synthetic resin sheet having upper and lower heat insulating materials capable of providing a cushion function and a separate flow pipe inside thereof. Trying to reduce as much as possible

In addition, the Utility Model No. 423979 "Hot-water mat" is "an outer shell that is opened and closed through the zipper, a bed that is built in the receiving portion in the outer shell and cushioning, the insertion hole formed in a zigzag shape on the entire upper surface of the bed, and In the hot water mat composed of a hot water pipe inserted into the insertion hole and circulating the hot water supplied from the hot water circulation pump, the lower surface of the bed is further provided with a cushion material, the cushion material is divided into a plurality through the incision line on the lower surface of the bed It is intended to provide a hot water mat that can be easily rolled out and solved the cutting phenomenon on the body part by the technical feature of "equipped."

However, the Utility Model No. 400923 "Fluid Thermal Mat" and the Registration Utility Model No. 423979 "Hot Water Mat" are formed separately on the upper or lower portion of the seat surface on which the circulation pipe is arranged to reduce the cutting effect on the body parts. Even if the cushion member is provided, there is a problem in that the cutting occurs to the user due to the difference in height between the circulation pipe and the portion where the cushion member is located.To reduce the phenomenon, the bed (synthetic resin sheet) in which the circulation pipe is arranged has a diameter and There is a problem that it should be configured to have the same height.

Furthermore, in Utility Model No. 434086, `` Water circulation bedding, '' the upper sheet and the lower sheet formed of a soft material are bonded to each other to have flexibility, and the upper sheet and the lower sheet are cold, cold and hot water. The cold and hot water circulation passage for circulating and the air filling portion for compressing and filling the air can be configured to be bonded to each other in a structure that is alternately arranged in the horizontal direction "and the filling portion that functions as a cushioning material alternates with the circulation passage. It is configured to be arranged in a way to solve the problem of the body cutting phenomenon, but the upper sheet and the lower sheet is bonded to each other, or does not specifically disclose a method for forming a circulation passage.

In the present invention to solve the above problems of the prior art, the mat can be folded in the form of easy rolling, etc., even if the mat for a long time by folding the mat for hot water mat for the circulation pipe does not occur and its manufacture The purpose is to provide a method.

In addition, by presenting a method for facilitating the formation of an accommodating part for inserting and fixing the circulating pipe, the manufacturing cost can be saved by reducing the manufacturing time and cost so that the final consumer can be satisfied with the quality and cost. An object of the present invention is to provide a hot water mat for a bed and a method of manufacturing the same.

In addition, to reduce the volume of the product itself while providing a filling member that can reduce the phenomena to the user's body parts as possible to provide a user's convenience and comfort when using the bed mat for hot water and its manufacturing method It is aimed at one thing.

In addition, it is possible to control the boiler, that is, the temperature and timer settings, and the setting for the supply of the rated voltage to the pump using only three buttons to enable the structure of the hot water mat for pursuit of simplicity and convenience in use. The purpose is to provide.

It is a technical feature.

In addition, the sheet of the present invention consists of a top sheet and a bottom sheet for receiving the circulation pipe. The receiving portion is characterized in that it is formed by stitching the upper sheet and the lower sheet in accordance with the size of the circulation pipe to be accommodated,

Technical features that the filling member is provided between the circulating pipes arranged in a zigzag.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention includes a mat unit 100 that can be folded according to a use state and a boiler unit 200 that provides a heat source to the mat unit.

The mat part includes a sheet of paper 120 composed of a circulating pipe 110 arranged in a zigzag, an upper sheet 122 and a lower sheet 124 providing a receiving portion 120a for accommodating the circulating pipe, The envelope 130 is formed to surround the sheet and is exposed to the outside, and the filling member 140 positioned between the circulation pipes and alternately arranged with the circulation pipes.

The boiler 200 according to the present invention includes a hot water tank 210, a heater 220 for heating the water of the hot water tank, and a circulation pump 230 for circulating the water in the hot water tank through a circulation pipe. It is made, including.

Looking at the mat portion 100, the upper sheet 122 and the lower sheet 124 employed in the present invention is generally preferably a cloth or synthetic resin sheet without a thickness, but is not limited to this soft material having flexibility Possible,

The circulation pipe 110 is placed between the upper sheet 122 and the lower sheet 124. The receiving sheet 120a is inserted into the upper sheet and the lower sheet to be sewn along the outer periphery of the space in which the circulation pipe is to be placed. ).

That is, in the existing hot water mat, as in the present invention, the thin upper sheet and the lower sheet are not joined while providing a receiving portion into which the circulation pipe is to be inserted, but a space in which the circulation pipe is to be inserted using a bed having a predetermined thickness. Employing a method of engraving intaglio with enough thickness of the bed, or adopting a method of providing an accommodating part for accommodating the circulation pipe by combining the topsheet and the bottomsheet engraved with the corresponding part engraved so that a certain shape can be inserted. Has come.

However, in both of the above schemes, the bed or upper and lower sheets must have a certain thickness in order to insert the circulation pipe.

As a whole, the volume of the product itself becomes large, and there is a problem in that the sheet or upper and lower sheets cannot be easily rolled or folded unless otherwise provided.

Therefore, in the present invention, the upper sheet and the lower sheet, which are thin without thickness, are sewn along the outer shape of the circulation pipe 110 to form an accommodation portion into which the circulation pipe is to be inserted, and the circulation pipe is inserted into the accommodation portion. It is fixed to the sheet paper 120.
In particular, referring to the arrangement of the circulation pipe with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the circulation pipe 110 is preferably zigzag arranged in the width direction of the sheet paper 120. That is, in order to easily roll up the hot water mat in the longitudinal direction, it is preferable to arrange the circulation pipe 110 in a zigzag, but in the width direction of the sheet paper.
In addition, the circulating pipe is arranged in a zigzag in the width direction, if the width of the hot water mat is wide, even if it is folded in the width direction, it is necessary to fold once in the longitudinal direction.
Therefore, the circulating pipe 110 is zigzag arranged in the width direction of the sheet paper in preparation for such a case, and when the sheet is stacked in the longitudinal direction by zipping the shape of the zigzag array, the sets of the arranged shapes of each set are symmetric with each other. It is preferable to arrange so that it can be stacked.
In more detail, when the sheet is folded in the longitudinal direction, the portion close to the boiler portion is defined as the left side of the sheet, and the portion far away from the boiler portion is defined as the right side of the sheet and described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
The arrangement of the circulating pipe 110 starting from the suction part 110a of the circulating pipe communicating with the boiler 200 is first arranged in a zigzag on the right side of the sheet paper, and then connected to the left side of the sheet paper. The left side of the symmetrical form is also arranged in a zigzag to communicate with the boiler unit 200 through the outlet 110b of the circulation pipe.
This arrangement is a structure of the circulation pipe that can be applied in the case of a hot water mat that is large in width and needs to be folded once in the longitudinal direction before rolling the hot water mat in the longitudinal direction.
In particular, the suction part (110a) and the discharge port (110b) of the circulation pipe is configured to communicate with the boiler 200 in parallel in the same direction is effective for later storage.
In particular, the arrangement of the hot water pipe shown in Figures 1 and 2 can be more easily implemented by the provision of the folding means of the hot water pipe to be described later.

If the space is provided between the circulating pipes arranged in a zigzag as described above and closed with an outer shell without further processing for the space, the circulating pipe is inserted and the protruding portion and the circumferential pipe are not inserted into the bottom. When the user is lying on the mat, the cutting phenomenon occurs, the present invention provides a filling member 140 between the circulating pipes arranged in the zigzag to solve the problem.

That is, it is preferable that the filling member 140 is inserted into the sheet paper where the circulation pipe is not located so that the seat surface can be flattened as a whole and the height of the filling member is the same size as the diameter of the circulation pipe.
In particular, the filling member 140 is inserted between the circulation pipes so that the hot water mat can be easily rolled and folded in the longitudinal direction, which is also parallel to the width direction of the sheet paper, that is, parallel to the width direction of the sheet paper. It is preferable to insert.
Of course, in order to make the mat easier to roll in such a configuration, a separate additional process such as a step of inserting an incision into the filling member is not required.

In addition, the filling member is to prevent the body part from being cut when using the user's mat, it is preferable to use a material having a cushioning force.

Therefore, the filling member 140 is provided between the circulation pipes 110, more specifically, in the width direction of the sheet paper so that the user can easily roll and store the mat, even if the mat is curled cushioning force of the filling member This circulation pipe is protected so that the circulation pipe is not easily bent, and eventually the durability of the mat according to the present invention is improved.

In addition, it is preferable to separately provide an insulation sheet (not shown) in the lower portion of the sheet in order to prevent the heat evenly heated by the circulation pipe toward the bottom to increase the heating efficiency.

And the rim of the mat portion may be provided with a plurality of velcro tape (not shown) (also known as "cheap"), the velcro tape is an example of a fixing means for fixing the mat, such as when laying the mat on the bed.

In addition to the configuration of the seat portion to provide a space for the circulation pipe and the arrangement of the circulation pipe and the filling member

In order to easily roll the mat, the present invention provides a separate folding means in the circulation pipe, and the folding means has a corrugated pipe in connection parts around the circulation pipe so as to form a channel through which hot water flows along with the circulation pipe. It can be formed and implemented, but more simply, it is easily implemented by making the material of the circulation pipe soft.

That is, the corrugated pipe to the folding means may be preferable as a folding means because the bending pipe is bent in all directions and does not occur even after returning to the initial state after bending, but for this purpose, it is necessary to form a separate corrugated pipe around the circulation pipe. The work process is complicated. Therefore, since the circulation pipe itself is formed of a soft material such as polypropylene (PP) or ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM), the mat can be easily folded and folded without additional configuration.

The polypropylene (PP) or ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM) is superior to other synthetic resins (flexibility), and in particular polypropylene (PP) is introduced as an environmentally friendly material, the circulation of the present invention The pipe is preferably composed of the material.

Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a hot water bat for bed according to the present invention will be described in detail.

1 to 3, the upper sheet 122 and the lower sheet 124 for preparing the circulation pipe is prepared. As mentioned above, the upper sheet and the lower sheet have a thin thickness, and thus, a cloth or a synthetic resin sheet is preferable for easy formation of the circulation pipe receiving portion 120a. Next, the circulating pipe 110 is arranged in a zigzag on the lower sheet 122, and the upper sheet 124 is positioned above the circulating pipe and is sewn along the outer portion of the circulating pipe placed between the upper sheet and the lower sheet. Form wealth.

At this time, the filling member 140 is inserted into a portion where the circulation pipe is not arranged, and the suction part 110a and the discharge port 110b of the circulation pipe are provided in the boiler part hot water tank which will be described later. And to the drain 214,

Or in the method for providing a circulating pipe on the sheet, the upper and lower seats in the prepared upper sheet 122 and the lower sheet 124 to fit the outer shape of the circulating pipe 110 to be inserted in the middle of the sheet to accommodate the receiving portion 120a may be formed, and a method of inserting and fixing the circulation pipe 110 between the upper sheet 122 and the lower sheet 124 may be considered by inserting and installing the circulation pipe 110 in the formed accommodating part space. In other words, as described above, when forming a hot water mat for the bed by inserting and fixing the circulation pipe in the groove formed by forming a groove to fit the size of the circulation pipe on the sheet, the thickness of the sheet portion should be considered as the depth of the groove formed Because of the thickness, the user can not roll or stack the mat conveniently.

In the present invention, by forming the receiving portion of the space to be provided with the circulation pipe in the thin sheet divided into the upper and lower parts by the area corresponding to the size of the circulation pipe and insert the circulation pipe into the formed receiving portion can be fixed to the circulation pipe In addition, there is also an effect that can reduce the volume of the product.

However, in this case, since there is a problem in which the cutting of the user's body occurs, the filling member 140 is inserted between the circulation pipes arranged in a zigzag to flatten the entire sheet surface into which the circulation pipe is inserted.

In addition, the filling member in the present invention is inserted between the circulation pipe without being integrally inserted into the front surface of the mat, so that the filling member is not only to eliminate the cutting phenomenon as described above, as shown in Figure 4, more easily As described above, it is possible to implement a structure in which the mat can be rolled up.

Next, a boiler unit 200 and a controller 400 are illustrated in FIG. 5, wherein the boiler unit 200 includes a hot water tank 210, a heater 220, and a circulation pump 230.

The side of the hot water tank 210 has a see-through window 212 is formed so as to visually check the amount of water filled, the lid 211 of the hot water tank 210, the steam generated from the hot water tank 210 to the outside A vapor discharge hole 211a for discharging is formed. The water supply port 213 and the drain port 214 are connected to the circulation pipe 110 to circulate the hot water through the circulation pipe 110.

In the hot water tank 210, a heater 220 for heating water and a circulation pump 230 for supplying the heated water to the circulation pipe 110 are installed in the hot water tank 210.

The controller 400 includes a temperature sensor 410, a water level detection sensor 420, a command input unit 430, a display unit 440, and a microcomputer (not shown).

The temperature sensor 410 is installed inside the hot water tank 210 detects the temperature of the water filled in the hot water tank 210 and sends it to the microcomputer.

The water level detection sensor 420 is a non-contact water level detection sensor 420 that detects the amount of water contained in the hot water tank 210 in a capacitive manner, and detects the amount of water and transmits the amount of water to the microcomputer.

The command input unit 430 is composed of a plurality of buttons (431, 432, 433) for inputting various commands related to the operation of the boiler unit 200. Among them, a command button for notifying whether temperature is set and an input for increasing a value The button is designed to be operated as the same button 431, the command button for notifying whether the timer is set, and the input button for lowering the value are designed to be operated as the same button 432, so that all commands can be performed with a total of three buttons. Enable input.

The display unit 440 is for displaying the operating state of the boiler unit 200, the 7-segment 441 for displaying the temperature of the water, whether the power supply, the heater 220 and the operation of the circulation pump 230. It consists of a plurality of lamps (442, 443, 444, 445) indicating whether and whether there is a lack of water.

The microcomputer controls the temperature sensor 410, the water level detection sensor 420, the command input unit 430, and the display unit 440 as a whole, and drives the heater 220 and the circulation pump 230.

Then, the heater lamp 443 and the circulating pump lamp 444 are turned on to indicate operation.

The heater 220 heats the water by the set temperature. To this end, the microcomputer controls the operation of the heater 220 by comparing the temperature received from the temperature sensor 410 with the set temperature.

The set temperature is input to the microcomputer through the command input unit 430. The set temperature is set by the up button 431 and the down button 432. If the up button 431 is pressed for about 3 seconds, the 7-segment 441 displaying the temperature of the water is switched to the set temperature setting mode and the buzzer sounds and the preset set temperature blinks at about 1 second intervals. do. In this state, when the up button 431 or the down button 432 is briefly pressed, the set temperature rises or falls by 1 degree in the range of 25 degrees to 80 degrees, and when it is pressed for a long time, the set temperature rises or falls rapidly. When the temperature setting is finished, if the up and down buttons 431 and 432 are not pressed for 10 seconds or longer, the operation mode is changed and the microcomputer controls the operation of the heater 220 and the pump 230 by comparing the newly set temperature with the water temperature. .

When the down button 432 is pressed for about 3 seconds, the timer enters the timer setting mode while buzzing and the 7-segment 441 flashes at about 0.5 second intervals. In this state, the up and down buttons 431 and 432 are pressed to set the timer time. Of course, the set time is displayed while the 7-segment 441 flashes. If the timer is not set and the up and down buttons 431 and 432 are not pressed for 10 seconds or longer, the operation mode is switched and the 7-segment 441 displays the water temperature. When all of the set timer time elapses, the microcomputer stops the operation of the heater 220 and the circulation pump 230 and sounds a buzzer to notify that the set time has elapsed. When the down button 432 is pressed to view the remaining time of the set timer time, the 7-segment 441 displays the temperature of the water after displaying the remaining time for about 15 seconds.

The up button does not need to be a button for notifying the temperature setting, and depending on the configuration, it may be designed by changing the command of the up and down buttons.

In addition, the microcomputer supplies the rated voltage to the circulation pump 230 until the water is filled in the circulation pipe 110 of the mat unit 100 at the initial installation. Reduce power consumption. When the pump button 433 is pressed, the microcomputer supplies the rated voltage to the circulation pump 230 for about 3 minutes. If you want to supply less than the rated voltage without waiting for three minutes, press the pump button 433 again.
