Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0020] Example 1: This embodiment relates to a heating pad, see reference Figures 1-3 The device includes a pad 100 and multiple heating sections 210 disposed within the pad 100. The pad 100 has multiple heating zones, and the heating sections 210 in different heating zones have different densities. By setting different densities of heating sections 210 in different heating zones, different temperatures are achieved within those zones. This avoids the problem of reptiles not being able to find a transitional comfortable area due to a single heating zone in traditional heating pads, effectively reducing stress reactions in reptiles and other pets caused by sudden environmental changes during use, and improving the survival comfort of reptiles and other pets.

[0021] Furthermore, the mat 100 has three heating zones, arranged sequentially from one side to the other; the distribution of heating segments 210 within the three heating zones increases from sparse to dense along the mat 100. Correspondingly, the temperature of the multiple heating zones increases from low to high along the mat 100. By arranging the multiple heating segments 210 from sparse to dense along the mat 100, the temperature of different heating zones increases from low to high, effectively reducing stress responses in reptiles and other pets caused by sudden environmental changes during use, and also improving the comfort of reptiles and other pets during activities, allowing them to experience continuous and gentle temperature changes while moving. In some embodiments, the mat 100 may also have four or five heating zones. The number of heating zones is designed according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here.

[0022] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 The pad 100 has three heating zones: a first heating zone 130, a second heating zone 140, and a third heating zone 150, sequentially arranged from one side to the other. The density of the heating segments 210 in the first heating zone 130 is less than the density of the heating segments 210 in the second heating zone 140; the density of the heating segments 210 in the second heating zone 140 is less than the density of the heating segments 210 in the third heating zone 150. That is, the temperature of the first heating zone 130 is lower than the temperature of the second heating zone 140, and the temperature of the second heating zone 140 is lower than the temperature of the third heating zone 150. The higher the density, the more heating segments 210 there are per unit area, the more concentrated the released heat, and the higher the temperature of the corresponding heating zone. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first heating zone 130, the second heating zone 140, and the third heating zone 150 correspond to the low-temperature zone, the suitable zone (i.e., the transition zone), and the hot zone, respectively. By controlling the gradient change in density of heating segments 210 from sparse to dense in the three heating zones (first heating zone 130, second heating zone 140, and third heating zone 150), a gradient change in temperature from low to high is achieved in these three heating zones. This precisely solves the problems of excessive temperature difference and lack of transition areas in existing heating pads, creating a temperature environment more in line with the natural habits of reptiles and other pets. Furthermore, this heating pad achieves gradient temperature control simply by adjusting the distribution density of heating segments 210 in different areas, eliminating the need for complex temperature control components and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0023] Specifically, the cross-section of the pad 100 is rectangular; in this embodiment, the cross-section of the pad 100 is rectangular. In some embodiments, the cross-section of the pad 100 is square. In some embodiments, the cross-section of the pad 100 is circular or other shapes. The cross-sectional shape of the pad 100 is designed according to actual needs and is not specifically limited here. In this embodiment, the pad 100 has a first heating zone 130, a second heating zone 140, and a third heating zone 150 arranged sequentially along the width direction of the pad 100. In some embodiments, the pad 100 has a first heating zone 130, a second heating zone 140, and a third heating zone 150 arranged sequentially along the length direction of the pad 100.

[0024] In this embodiment, multiple heating segments 210 located within the same heating zone are evenly distributed, ensuring the consistency and stability of the temperature within each heating zone. In this embodiment, the multiple heating segments 210 are formed by bending the same heating element 200. Compared to the splicing scheme of multiple independent heating elements 200, this simplifies the overall structure, reduces assembly complexity, and helps improve production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs. The fact that multiple heating segments 210 are formed by bending the same heating element 200 reduces the risk of failure due to too many connection points, improving the structural stability and service life of the heating pad. In this embodiment, the heating element 200 is a resistance wire.

[0025] In some embodiments, the heating pad further includes a first port 310 connected to one end of the heating element 200 and a second port 320 connected to the other end of the heating element 200. Specifically, the first port 310 and the second port 320 are used to connect to an external power source to form a closed loop to complete the transfer of electrical energy, thereby generating heat in the heating element 200.

[0026] In this embodiment, the heating pad further includes a temperature sensor 400. The temperature sensor 400 is disposed within the pad body 100 and located within the third heating zone 150. One end of the temperature sensor 400 is connected to the first port 310 to supply power to the temperature sensor 400, ensuring its normal operation. The temperature sensor 400 is used for accurate temperature detection and also serves as a safety warning to prevent the temperature from exceeding a set value, thus avoiding burns to pets or accidents.

[0027] In this embodiment, the pad 100 includes a first pad layer 110 disposed on the top surface of the heating element 200 and a second pad layer 120 disposed on the bottom surface of the heating element 200; the heating element 200 is disposed between the first pad layer 110 and the second pad layer 120. The first pad layer 110 and the second pad layer 120 serve to protect the heating element 200 and prevent damage to it. In this embodiment, the first pad layer 110 and the second pad layer 120 are made of leather. In some embodiments, the first pad layer 110 and the second pad layer 120 may also be made of synthetic leather or the like. The materials of the first pad layer 110 and the second pad layer 120 can be selected according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here.

[0028] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 A first thermal insulation layer 160 is provided between the first pad layer 110 and the heating element 200; a second thermal insulation layer 170 is provided between the second pad layer 120 and the heating element 200. The first thermal insulation layer 160 and the second thermal insulation layer 170 serve to insulate and lock in heat, and prevent electrical leakage and short circuits. In this embodiment, the first thermal insulation layer 160 and the second thermal insulation layer 170 are made of knitted cotton material. In some embodiments, the first thermal insulation layer 160 and the second thermal insulation layer 170 may also be made of other materials that can provide thermal insulation.

In this embodiment, the density of heating segments 210 in the fifth heating zone is greater than the density of heating segments 210 in the fourth and sixth heating zones. That is, the distribution of multiple heating segments 210 from one side to the other of the pad 100 goes from sparse to dense and then back to sparse, with the distribution density of heating segments 210 in the fourth heating zone being greater than the distribution density of heating segments 210 in the sixth heating zone.

The distribution of the multiple heating segments 210 along one side of the pad 100 to the other side changes from sparse to dense and then back to sparse. The heating segments 210 in the fourth and sixth heating zones have the same density, meaning that the temperatures of the fourth and fifth heating zones are the same.
