Heating air mat and air mat heating system having the same

Abstract

A heating air mat which supplies heated air into the mat to provide heat to a user, and an air mat heating system including the same are disclosed. The air mat heating system includes a heating air mat having a mat body and a heated air injection part through which the heated air is injected into the mat body, and a heater connected to the heated air injection part of the air mat to supply the heated air into the air mat. The air mat provides heat to the body of a user by supplying heated air into the air mat, thereby eliminating accidents relating to the use of electricity while ensuring good heating efficiency and to reduction of energy consumption when used for local heating and assistant heating.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a heating air mat and an air mat heating system including the same and, more particularly, to a heating air mat and an air mat heating system including the same that supplies heated air into the mat to provide heat to a user.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A typical indoor heating apparatus is generally classified into a boiler heating type and an electric heating type. In the boiler heating type, water heated by a boiler is supplied to and circulated through a heating pipe arranged on the bottom of a building, thereby heating the bottom of an indoor room.[0005]In the electric heating type, heating is performed in two manners, that is, a bottom heating manner and an air conditioner manner. In the bottom heating manner, a heating pipe having a liquid heat storage medium and a heat generating wire on a panel is buried in the bottom of the room and electric energy is supplied t...

Problems solved by technology

However, both the boiler heating type and the electric heating type heat the room by heating the bottom of the room and thus have low heating efficiency in view of bed users.

In other words, since a person lying on a bed is separated a predetermined distance from the bottom of the room, these heating types have low thermal efficiency with respect to the body of the person and consume lots of energy by heating the entire bottom of the room to thereby providing low heating efficiency.

Although an electric mattress, an electric blanket, an electric heat mat, or the like is used for local heating or assistant heating, these have problems such as a short circuit of an electric wire, a complicated manufacturing process, high manufacturing costs, and the like.

Particularly, when using any o
