[0005]

[Working] In response to the problems to be solved by the inventors, first of all, as a result of observing indoor dogs in detail,
The following characteristics were found. The characteristics were also applicable to cats. (B) When deciding whether the surface of the test mat is comfortable for the dog to be observed, first sense the temperature on the soles of the hands and feet. If the temperature of the matte surface at this time is too low or too high, it immediately takes action. Although there are individual differences depending on the target dog, if the mat surface is generally maintained at the comfortable temperature of the target dog, it is possible to encourage one to use this place by learning once or twice. (B) Even if the target dog has already learned, if there is an uncomfortable warm air area while approaching the mat surface that is already known to be comfortable,
It often stops approaching until it breaks through or bypasses it. (C) When the cooling or heating mat surface is set higher than the floor surface to approach, there are parts and directions that make it easy to reach the mat surface, and it seems that the target dog's own sense determines it. This is considered to be related to the gaze height of the target dog.

In summary of the above characteristics, (a) does not necessarily require a box-shaped kennel, and (b) is uncomfortable because there is a heat exhaust port of the cooling means in the direction in which the target dog approaches the mat. It is recommended that (C) place a high barrier in the direction you do not want to approach and guide it to the side you want to approach, even if the subject dog who is accustomed to the mat does not use the mat itself when receiving warm warm air . Since it is effective that the matte surface can be seen from any direction if possible, it is also effective to widely spread the unpleasant warm air from the heat exhaust port or the like and not concentrate it in one direction. In other words, the combination of the exhaust heat discharge direction generated as a reaction of the cooling of the mat surface and the arrangement direction of the barrier, or the structure for diffusing and discharging the exhaust heat is effective.

EXAMPLES Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an appearance example, 1 is a case molded of plastic, 2 is a mat, and an aluminum flat plate having high thermal conductivity is used. Reference numeral 3 is a heat insulating portion, and 4 is a barrier portion, both of which are made of cork or the like. The barrier portion 4 serves as a barrier for pets and the like approaching the animal mat, but for pets and the like on the mat 2 surface,
For example, it also has secondary functions such as leaning down or becoming a comfortable pillow when you rest your chin on it and sleep. Reference numeral 5 is an intake port of the cooling / heating means, which is also opened in a gap or the like on a side surface or a bottom portion of the housing so that the intake function is not deteriorated due to clogging of dust or hair loss of pets or the like. Reference numeral 6 denotes an exhaust port of the cooling / heating means, which is provided with a lattice-like window together with the intake port 5 so as not to obstruct the inflow and outflow of air and to be an opening in which a small pet or the like cannot insert a limb. ing. Reference numeral 7 denotes a DC power supply cord and connector, which receives a predetermined voltage / current, for example, DC of 12V3A from a general-purpose DC power supply device (illustration is omitted).

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the structure of the animal mat. In this description, for example, the case of cooling will be described.
Reference numerals are the same as those in FIG. 1, but 8 is a thermoelectric conversion element (Peltier element). When a predetermined direct current is supplied from the connector 7, the mat 2 is connected in a polarity for cooling. Reference numeral 9 is a heat conducting member made of an aluminum material having a high heat conductivity, and is connected to the thermoelectric conversion element 8 with good heat conduction. Techniques for efficient heat conduction connection include mechanical pressure welding using screws and heat transfer grease, and a method using, for example, an epoxy heat transfer adhesive. The individual description is omitted as it is used properly. The other side of the heat conducting member 9 is combined with the radiation fin 10 which is also connected with good heat conduction. The mat 2, the heat conducting member 9, the thermoelectric conversion element 8, and the radiation fin 10 are integrally configured with a cork material or the like of the heat insulating portion 3 for the purpose of obtaining heat insulation and mechanical strength. In this embodiment, the heat conducting member 9 is divided into two parts, and the thermoelectric conversion element 8 is sandwiched between them. This is an intervening portion for efficiently heat-conductively connecting the mat 2, the thermoelectric conversion element 8, and the heat radiation fin 10, and the shape of the connecting portion between the mat 2 and the thermoelectric conversion element 8 and the thermoelectric conversion element 8 and the heat radiation fin 10 Depending on the shape of the connecting portion, the heat conducting member 9 may be directly connected without interposing one or both of them.

Next, a description will be given in combination with the circuit diagram of FIG.
11 is a cooling fan, which has a predetermined voltage of, for example, 12V from the connector 7.
When DC power is supplied, outside air is sucked in through the intake port 5,
The radiation fins 10 and the exhaust ports 6 are connected in a direction to generate an air flow. A thermostat 12 is connected to the lower surface of the mat 2 with good heat conduction. According to the standard of the thermostat 12, for example, when the temperature of the mat 2 becomes 33 ° C. or lower, the power supply circuit is turned off to stop the operation of the thermoelectric conversion element 8 and the cooling fan 11 to control over-cooling of the mat surface. When the temperature of the mat surface rises due to the room air temperature or the body temperature of the pet or the like, the thermostat 12 is turned on again, and the cooling means including the thermoelectric conversion element 8, the cooling fan 11 and the like repeats the operation.

Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to the circuit diagram of FIG.
In the above embodiment, the temperature of the mat 2 is controlled by the thermostat 12, but this can be replaced with the thermistor Th to perform more precise temperature control. The thermistor Th in place of the thermostat 12 on the lower surface of the mat 2 in FIG.
Connect with good heat conduction. In FIG. 4, the same reference numerals are used as in the previous figure, but 16 is an IC comparison circuit, and 15 is a semiconductor relay, which is turned on and off by a signal from the comparison circuit 16. When the variable resistor VR is set to a predetermined value with respect to the value of the thermistor Th when the mat 2 has a desired temperature, the semiconductor relay 15 is turned off.
You can If the setting of the variable resistance VR is left as it is, if the temperature of the mat surface rises due to the temperature of the room air or the body temperature of the pet or the like, the value of the thermistor Th decreases and the potential of the + side input of the comparison circuit 16 rises, and the semiconductor relay 15 Turn on.
In this way, the cooling means including the thermoelectric conversion element 8, the cooling fan 11 and the like repeats the operation. Therefore, if the value of the variable resistor VR is changed, the control temperature of the mat 2 can also be changed. As described above, in the embodiment of FIG. 4, as compared with the embodiment of FIG. 3, it is possible to configure the temperature adjusting unit 13 that can set the desired temperature precisely, relatively arbitrarily. In FIG. 1, the variable resistance V
An example has been shown in which the setting of R can be directly operated on the side surface of the housing 1. Reference numeral 19 is a fan, which will be described later as an embodiment of FIG.

In the above embodiment, the thermostat 12 and the thermistor Th circuit are used to prevent the mat surface from being over-cooled. However, if the temperature condition of the animal mat can be limited, supply to the thermoelectric conversion element 8 is possible. The temperature of the mat 2 depends on the place of use, such as designing the DC power to be appropriately small, the amount of air blown by the cooling fan 11 to be appropriately small, or the heat exchange capacity of the radiation fins 10 to be appropriately small. Some embodiments are designed to be thermally balanced. In this case, the thermostat 12, the thermistor Th circuit, and other temperature control units can be omitted.

Further, although the case of cooling is described in the above description of the embodiment, the cooling / heating means is a thermoelectric conversion element (Peltier element).
Since this is a system, the surface of the mat 2 can be heated by reversing the polarity of the current to the element, and a so-called heating mat can be obtained. In this case, the heat transfer is reversed, the standard of the thermostat 12 is changed, the polarity of the input signal of the comparison circuit 16 in FIG.

FIG. 5 shows an example of the appearance of the radiation fin 10. The radiating fin 10 is an extruded product made of an aluminum material having a high thermal conductivity. The side of the heat conducting member 9 that is connected to the heat conducting member 9 with good heat conduction is finished in a flat shape, and the other side is designed to exchange heat with the air flow as much as possible. It has the shape of a large number of wings arranged in a comb shape.

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which the exhaust port 6 of the cooling means is provided in three directions, and the barrier portion 4 is also provided over three sides.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, an edge portion 17 is provided so that the barrier portion is not necessary. The edge portion 17 is made of wood board, plastic, or the like, and is arranged so as to surround a part or the whole of the periphery of the mat 2. In FIG. 7, the legs are provided independently, but they can be connected to the housing 1. As described above, the legs need the openings for the intake port and the exhaust port.
If the width of the mat 2 that extends out from the mat 2 is sufficiently large, the warm air from the exhaust port 6 will not diffuse and the pet will not feel uncomfortable. The height of the upper surface of the edge 17 is almost matte 2
Same as. As a result, the mat surface becomes a shape that can be seen from any direction, the living area of pets and the like on the mat surface can be expanded, and it becomes more comfortable and can accommodate large pets. Since the temperature of the edge 17 itself is not adjusted, there is a limit to the area that can be expanded.

The embodiment will be further described with reference to FIG. In FIG.
The embodiment of FIG. 7 shows an example in which the barrier portion 4 is further provided on three sides. The barrier portion 4 has an effect of guiding a pet or the like approaching the animal mat in a predetermined direction, but for a pet or the like on the mat 2 surface, for example, leaning on or leaning the chin It also has secondary functions such as a comfortable pillow when you relax and sleep, which is also an important effect.

FIG. 9 shows another embodiment. In a room where people come and go particularly hard, or in a place which is constantly exposed to a fast air flow, not only may pets become mentally unstable, but the temperature control of the mat 2 surface may not be as set. Reference numeral 18 denotes a capsule, which is composed of a plastic plate or a metal frame and a material such as a vinyl chloride sheet. The capsule 18 is provided with one or a suitable number of openings for the entrance and exit of pets or the like on the wall surface, but is basically a dome shape without a floor. This is used by covering it with the mat 2 surface. In this way, the capsule 18 exerts a windshield effect. Since the mat 2 has a cold / hot surface, the capsule 18 does not impair its original function and can provide a necessary enclosure for a nervous pet or the like. It can also be used in the animal mats of any of the above examples.

FIG. 10 shows still another embodiment. Reference numeral 14 is a fan, which is connected to the power source of the cooling / heating means to interlock with it, as shown in the circuit diagram of FIG. Generally, so-called fan airflow is not effective for animals such as dogs that do not sweat and have hair. However, since the heat of vaporization can be felt sufficiently on the face, especially on the tip of the nose, it is effective to apply cold / warm air near the surface of the mat 2 to the pet's face. Normal,
Since the pet or the like on the surface of the mat 2 is recumbent, the face is almost at the height of the mat 2 and the airflow of the fan 14 effectively catches the face of the pet or the like. The fan 14 can be used in the animal mat of any of the above embodiments.

In the above embodiments, the mat 2 and the like and the cooling / heating means such as the thermoelectric conversion element 8 are integrally formed. However, the cooling / heating means is separately provided and a refrigerant is used. There is also an embodiment in which a hose or the like is brought into contact with the lower surface of the mat 2 for heat exchange. Even in this case, the effect of providing the barrier portion 4 and the edge portion 17 in the direction of the hot air exhausted from the cooling means is the same as in any of the above embodiments.

In any of the animal mats of the above-mentioned embodiments, the mat 2 is controlled to a desired temperature so that it is comfortable for pets and the like, but the use of the cloth sheets makes it soft to the touch, and the mat 2 temperature Can be controlled more gently. Although illustration is omitted, when it is used for the upper surface of the mat 2, the barrier portion 4, or the main portion of the edge portion 17, the sanitary aspect is good such that the sheets can be washed and replaced as a secondary effect.
