Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a bed whose purpose is to provide a comfortable sleep by controlling temperature, humidity, light, sound, fragrance, etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of bed has been disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-97416.
As shown in the publication, its configuration is as shown in Figure 5, in which an air conditioner 16 blows air at a predetermined temperature and humidity into the bed in order to control the temperature and humidity in the bed 15 to a comfortable state. It was something to do.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the above-mentioned configuration only sets the temperature and humidity conditions in the bed for comfortable sleep, and does not address other environmental conditions that affect sleep, such as light, sound, scent, etc. The problem was that it was not possible to control the

The present invention solves such conventional problems, and
The purpose is to provide a bed that allows you to sleep in a comfortable state from the moment you wake up until you wake up by comprehensively controlling light, sound, scent, vibration, and the sleeping angle.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the bed of the present invention comprises a human body sensor for detecting the presence or absence of a human body, a mat, a heating and cooling means for heating and cooling the mat, and a lighting means. ,
each of the acoustic means, the fragrance generating means, the vibration generating means, the reclining means, the clocking means, the heating and cooling means, the lighting means, the acoustic means, the fragrance generating means, the vibration generating means, and the reclining means. a setting means for setting an operation pattern; and controlling each of the heating and cooling means, the lighting means, the sound means, the fragrance generating means, the vibration generating means, and the reclining means using signals from the human body sensor, the clocking means, and the setting means. and control means to perform the operation.

Effect of the present invention With the above-described configuration, when the human body sensor detects that a human body has entered the bed, the control means activates the heating/cooling means, the lighting means, and the sound! The means, the fragrance generating means, the vibration generating means, and the reclining means are each controlled based on the respective operation patterns set by the setting means.

Example Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cutaway view of essential parts of the bed in the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the operation of the bed. Here, reference numeral 1 is a human body sensor for detecting the presence or absence of a human body, and here a pressure-sensitive sensor is built into the mat 2. Reference numeral 3 denotes a heating/cooling means for heating and cooling the mat 2, which here consists of a heat pump type air conditioner and is configured to blow air out from the mat surface 4. 5 is a lighting device that can be dimmed; 6 is a sound device that can adjust the volume; 7
Reference numeral 8 indicates a fragrance generating means that can select generation of a plurality of fragrances, and 8 indicates a vibration generating means that vibrates the mat 2, which is built in the mat 2. 9 is a reclining means; 12 is a timekeeping means having a time display section 10 and a wake-up time setting section 11; 13 is a heating/cooling means 8, a lighting means 5, an acoustic means 6, and a fragrance generating means 7.
A setting means 14 sets the operation patterns of the vibration generating means 8 and the reclining means 9, respectively; Page 5 Incense generating means 7, vibration generating means 8, and reclining means 9
This is a control means that performs each control.

In the above configuration, when a human body enters the bed, the control means 1
4, the heating and cooling means 3, the lighting means 5, the sound means 6, the fragrance generating means 7, the vibration generating means 8, and the reclining means 9 are controlled based on the respective operation patterns set by the setting means 13.

The specific operation will be explained below based on FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3(a), the human body sensor 1 is turned on when the human body enters the bed, and is turned off when the human body leaves the bed.

As shown in FIG. 3(b), the heating/cooling means 3 is turned on when the human body enters the bed (T=Ti) to maintain the temperature and humidity in the bed at a comfortable state, and at the wake-up time (T=To). Then it turns off.

As shown in FIG. 3(c), the illumination means 5 is turned on at the maximum illuminance Lmax when the human body enters the bed, and then gradually lowers the illuminance over a predetermined period of time, and when it reaches the minimum illuminance Lmin, it thereafter turns on Lmln. Maintain 6 pages. Then, when the predetermined time comes before the wake-up time, wake up 11,?
The illuminance is gradually increased from Lmln so that the illuminance reaches Lmax every moment. Then, it turns off a predetermined time after the wake-up time.

As shown in FIGS. 3(d) and 3(e), the sound means 6 and the vibration generating means 8 are turned on when the human body goes to bed, generate music and vibration suitable for falling asleep, and are turned off after a predetermined time. Then, when it's time to wake up, the device turns on, generates music and vibrations that increase alertness, and turns off after a predetermined time.

As shown in FIG. 3(f), the fragrance generating means 7 turns on when the human body goes to bed, generates a fragrance that promotes falling asleep, and turns off after a predetermined time. Then, at a predetermined time before the wake-up time, the device is turned on to generate a fragrance that increases alertness, and is turned off a predetermined time after the wake-up time.

The reclining means 9, as shown in FIG. 3(g),
When the human body enters the bed, the mat is brought into a horizontal state Av over a predetermined period of time. When it is time to wake up, the mat is erected from the horizontal plane at a predetermined angle Ac for a predetermined period of time, and then the mat is returned to a horizontal state.

'' Through these two functions, it comprehensively controls temperature, humidity, light, sound, scent, vibration, sleeping angle, etc. to create an environment that promotes human vision, gives you a stable sleep, and helps you wake up comfortably. This has the effect that the user can enjoy a comfortable sleep.

In the above embodiment, the human body sensor 1 is a pressure-sensitive sensor, but
As shown in FIG. 4, an arrangement may be made in which the presence or absence of a human body is detected using an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or the like.

Effects of the Invention As described above, conventional beds only controlled the temperature and humidity inside the bed to a comfortable state, but according to the bed of the present invention,
It comprehensively controls temperature, humidity, light, sound, scent, vibration, sleeping angle, etc. to create an environment that promotes human vision, provides a stable sleep, and promotes a comfortable wake-up. It has the effect of allowing you to enjoy sleep.
