[0024] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with examples. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] With the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing pursuit of health and comfort, home heating equipment has been widely used, especially in cold winters or areas with cold climates, heating equipment has become a necessity. However, existing heating equipment such as electric blankets and hot water bags have limitations and cannot meet people's needs for uniform heating of the whole body. For example, traditional electric blankets heat up quickly but are prone to local overheating, and improper use may also pose a safety hazard; the heating effect of hot water bags is local and limited, and the heat is short-lived, making it difficult to provide continuous whole-body warmth.

[0026] In addition, as the global aging trend intensifies, more and more elderly people need to stay in bed for a long time, especially those in the rehabilitation period or suffering from chronic diseases. Their bodies need additional warm support to relieve pain, promote blood circulation, and improve the quality of life. However, most of the heating devices in the existing market cannot provide accurate and personalized warm therapy, and it is difficult to differentiate heating for different parts of the body, which limits the effect of rehabilitation care.

[0027] The rise of smart home products has also brought new demands to modern families. People are no longer satisfied with traditional heating methods, but prefer intelligent systems that can be controlled by smart devices and automatically adjusted according to personal needs. Most existing heating devices lack intelligent temperature control functions and cannot be integrated with smart home systems, limiting the user experience.

[0028] In addition, the global call for energy conservation and environmental protection is getting louder and louder, and the rational control of energy consumption has become the focus of attention in all walks of life. Traditional heating equipment often wastes energy due to unreasonable design or backward technology, and cannot meet the requirements of modern society for high efficiency and energy saving.

[0029] Modern social needs:

[0030] The demand for whole-body, uniform heating: Modern families require heating equipment not only for local heating, but also for a whole-body, uniform, and comfortable heating experience, especially in cold climates. Traditional local heating equipment such as electric blankets and hot water bottles cannot effectively solve this problem, and are prone to local overheating or insufficient heat, reducing the comfort of use.

[0031] Demand for thermotherapy for the elderly and patients in recovery: Modern medical research shows that thermotherapy has significant effects on promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, and accelerating the recovery process. Especially for the elderly, long-term bedridden patients, and patients recovering from surgery, they need a continuous warm environment to support the recovery of body functions. Most existing heating equipment only focuses on the heating function and cannot provide scientific thermotherapy support for rehabilitation treatment.

[0032] Demand for intelligent and personalized control: With the rapid development of smart home technology, users hope to be able to remotely control the temperature of heating equipment through smart devices (such as mobile phone apps) and set personalized heating modes according to their different needs. Most traditional heating equipment lacks this function and cannot be linked with smart home systems, which limits modern families' pursuit of intelligent and convenient lifestyles. Demand for energy conservation and environmental protection: In the global environment of promoting green living and energy conservation and emission reduction, the high energy consumption problem of traditional heating equipment has become increasingly prominent, especially for equipment that uses a large amount of electricity for heating, which is prone to energy waste.

The flow rate can be adjusted to adjust the heating speed and effect. The noise of the silent pump is less than 30 decibels when it is running, ensuring that it will not affect the user's sleep and rest. The water pipe interface 16 is symmetrically arranged on the front side of the external cabinet 5, and the water pipe interface 16 is connected to the water chamber unit 4 through a connecting pipe 17.

[0039] There are multiple groups of water pipe interfaces, which are connected to water chamber units in different blocks through connecting pipes and connected to different water storage tanks for water circulation.

[0040] A water pipe groove 18 is also provided in the heated water bed body 1, and a connecting pipe 17 is embedded in the water pipe groove 18 and connected to the water chamber unit 4. The water pipe interface 16 is connected to the water outlet pipe 12 and the return pipe 13 below the water storage tank 6.

The water temperature setting module is used to set and adjust the water temperature of the water chamber unit 4 in different blocks. The water temperature detection module detects the temperature of the water chamber unit 4 in each block and the temperature of the water in the water storage tank 6 based on the water temperature sensor 10 and the temperature sensor 11. The heating control module is used to control the energy-saving heater 9 to heat and control the circulation mechanism under the corresponding water storage tank 6 to circulate water after reaching the preset temperature.

[0044] The water temperature setting module includes a host setting submodule and a remote control submodule. The host setting submodule adjusts the temperature settings of different blocks and selects different modes based on the control panel 8. The remote control submodule is based on the wireless interconnection of smart mobile communication devices and uses the APP to remotely adjust the block temperature settings and select modes to achieve personalized settings.
