The wire electrodes 42A, 42B are sometimes collectively referred to as the wire electrodes 42 . The wire electrode 42 is sewn onto the insulating base 41 with a wire 43 . A polymer resistor 44 is thermally adhered on top of the structure in the form of a film.

[0086]The sheet-like heating element 40 was fabricated in the following manner. First, the line electrodes 42A, 42B are symmetrically provided on the insulating base 41 . Next, the wire electrodes 42A, 42B are partially sewn onto the insulating base 41 ...

Embodiment 2

[0142] Figure 7A It is a plan view of the sheet heating element 70 of Embodiment 2 of the present invention, Figure 7B is along Figure 7A A cross-sectional view taken along line 7B-7B in . This structure and the structure of embodiment 1 (referring to Figure 4A ) is that the wire electrode 71 is provided on the insulating substrate 41 as a corrugated line.

[0143] Such as Figure 7A As shown in , the wire electrode 71 is disposed on the insulating substrate 41 as a wave wire, and is attached through the wire 43 . According to this structure, when an external force is applied to the sheet-like heating element 70, since the wire electrodes 71 are arranged in wave-shaped lines with allowable leeway in length, they easily respond to tension, stretching, and bending. change shape. Therefore, the corrugated wire electrode 71 has advantages over such as Figure 4A The mechanical strength of the wire electrodes 42 arranged in a straight line with respect to an external for...

Embodiment 3

[0148] Figure 8A It is a plan view of the sheet heating element of Embodiment 3 of the present invention, Figure 8B is along Figure 8A A cross-sectional view taken along line 8B-8B in . This structure and the structure of embodiment 1 (referring to Figure 4A ) is that the auxiliary wire electrode 81 is provided between the wire electrode pair 42. In other words, the auxiliary wire electrode 81 is provided between the pair of wire electrodes 42 and, as in the case of the wire electrode 42, is sewn onto the insulating base 41 by a sewing machine using a wire 82 made of polyester fiber or the like.

[0149] exist Figure 4A In the structure shown in , the polymer resistor 44 tends to heat unevenly between the wire electrodes 42, and the resistivity of that portion increases so that the potential is concentrated there. If this state continues, the temperature of that part of the polymer resistor 44 rises more than other parts, causing a well-known hot-line phenomenon. th...

Abstract

The sheet heating element according to the present invention comprises a substrate sheet made of an electrically insulative material and lines made of electrically conductive materials and arranged with a distance between them on the substrate sheet. The sheet heating element further comprises at least one PTC resistor sheet being in electrical contact with the lines and configured to heat up in a self-regulated manner in response to a supply of electricity from the lines. The at least one PTC resistor sheet may comprise a flame retardant agent and / or a liquid-resistant resin. The sheet heating element according to the present invention has excellent flexibility, durability, and reliability, as well as low manufacturing cost. When the sheet heating element of the present invention is used in a car seat heater or in a steering wheel heater, the passenger feels comfortable when seated thereon, and the driver feels comfortable when touching the steering wheel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a heating element, in particular, the present invention relates to a sheet heating element with excellent PTC characteristics. The sheet heating element is highly flexible so that it can be mounted on the surface of any shape of appliance. Background technique [0002] The PTC characteristic refers to the characteristic that the resistance increases when the temperature rises. The sheet-shaped heating element with this PTC characteristic has the temperature self-control performance of the heat it emits. Hitherto, resistors have been used in heat generating members of such chip heat generating elements. The resistor is formed from a resistor ink having a matrix polymer and a conductive material dispersed in a solvent. [0003] The resistor ink is printed on the base material forming the heating element. The ink is dried and then baked to form a chip resistor (for example, see Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and...
