Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a mattress at comfortable temperature for sleeping without depending on room temperature by providing a controlling means for controlling the heating of a heater so as to set the temperature of hot air at second temperature when the room temperature is located between upper limit temperature and low limit temperature and so as to set the temperature of the hot air at third temperature when the room temperature is lower than the low limit temperature. CONSTITUTION:When count time reaches to set time, a course setting means 12b judges at which position between upper limit temperature and low limit temperature the set room temperature is located. For example, when the room temperature is lower than 15 deg.C of the low limit temperature, third temperature of 30 deg.C is set and a control signal corresponding to the temperature is sent to a hot air control means 13a. At this time, the course setting means 12b sets mattress temperature control time to start counting of the time. The hot air control means 13a controls a heating quantity control means 14 based on the signal to adjust the heating quantity of a heater 2 and so controls the heater 2 that the temperature of an air temperature judging means 17 is equal to first temperature. Thus, one can spleep at comfortable bed temperature without depending on the season.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In recent years, an increasing number of users are drying the futon (9) before going to bed. According to sleep physiology, the temperature in contact with the bed varies slightly from person to person, but it is 5°C to 1° lower than body temperature (about 36°C).
It is said that a temperature as low as 0°C is a comfortable place to sleep. To obtain this bed temperature with a conventional futon dryer, the room temperature is 26
When the temperature is between 31°C and 31°C, the above-mentioned "automatic air blowing" operation satisfies the conditions, but it is difficult to meet the conditions at other room temperatures. For example, when the room temperature is 10° C. or 20° C., as shown in FIG. 10, the air blowing after drying the futon brings the temperature to almost the same as the room temperature, making it impossible to obtain a comfortable bed temperature. In addition, if you operate the futon dryer main body (1) with "warm air" only for drying futons, the 9th
The temperature characteristics were as shown in the figure, and it was not ready to be placed on the floor. In such cases, various problems arise in that in order to remove the hot air from the futon (9), it is necessary to run a "blow" operation to cool it down, or to lift the futon (9) to remove the hot air.

The hot air control means (13a) having received the signal operates the air blowing control means (15) to operate the fan (3) and blow indoor air into the air passage (6). At this time, in FIG. 2, the room temperature determining means (22) determines the room temperature from the thermistor (4) inside the air path (6), and in FIG. Since the room temperature determination means (22) determines the room temperature from the thermistor (5), the course setting means (12b) inputs and sets the room temperature (S4). Then, when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the fan (3) was started operating (S5), the course setting means (12b) controls the operation means (
11) Based on the key (cotton) selection, the hot air temperature (65℃
) and sends a control signal corresponding to the set temperature to the hot air control means (13). Further, the futon drying time is set and counting of the time is started (S6). The hot air control means (13a) controls the heating amount control means (13a) based on the control signal.
14). As a result, the heater (2) heats up and the futon (9) is dried by the air blown by the operating fan (3). At this time, the hot air control means (13a) compares the hot air temperature detected by the air temperature determination means (17) and the set temperature of the course setting means (12b), and heats the air so that the difference becomes 0. The amount control means (14) is controlled (S7). This control maintains the hot air temperature at 65°C. and,
When the count time reaches the set time (S8), the course setting means (12) determines where the set room temperature is with respect to the upper limit temperature and the lower limit temperature. For example, when the room temperature is lower than the lower limit temperature (15°C), the third temperature (3
0° C.) and sends a control signal corresponding to the temperature to the hot air control means (13a). At this time, the course setting means (12b) sets the futon temperature control time and starts counting the time (S9). Hot air control means (13a
) controls the heating amount control means (14) based on the signal to adjust the heating amount of the heater (2), and also makes sure that the temperature of the air temperature determining means (17) and the first temperature are the same temperature. The heater (2) is controlled so that (SIO). Due to the above-mentioned control, the temperature of the futon (9) when the room temperature is low is
The temperature characteristics are as shown in the dashed line in FIG. Then, when the count time reaches the set time (Sll), similarly to the above, the course setting means (12b) sends a control stop signal to the hot air control means <13a) to start the futon dryer main body (1). Stop and end the operation.
