Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a mat, and more specifically, to an earthing mat equipped with graphene and magnets that eliminates discomfort caused by static electricity and enables deep sleep by discharging static electricity generated by friction between a bedding and clothing to the ground of an electrical outlet. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, fabrics intended for use as mats, blankets, or underwear are manufactured to provide thermal insulation, and in addition, fabrics with enhanced thermal insulation are being incorporated not only into clothing but also into interior design and leisure goods.

[0003] Generally, the concept of thermal insulation can be distinguished into methods that prevent heat emitted from the human body from being lost to the outside and methods that actively impart heat from the outside. In the former case, methods such as insulating heat generated from the human body through air layers in fabrics, methods that prevent radiant heat emitted from the human body from being released to the outside, and methods using materials that absorb human radiant energy are proposed. In the latter case, methods involving the introduction of electric heating materials, chemical reaction heating materials, and heat storage materials are proposed.

[0004] In addition, thermal insulation plays a very important role in bedding such as mats and blankets, as it is known to affect blood circulation and promote metabolism by inducing the secretion of sweat within the body.

[0005] As such, conventional methods for providing thermal insulation to fabrics have incorporated minerals such as germanium, monazite, and tourmaline.

[0006] However, static electricity generated by the friction between the bedding and clothing in such mats irritates the human body and causes sparks upon contact, leading to disharmony in the biological system that causes irritation, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, and discomfort.

[0007] Therefore, based on these facts, various technologies to eliminate static electricity have been developed and applied to commonly used mats. The problem to be solved

[0008] The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problem and aims to provide an earthing mat equipped with graphene and a magnet that can effectively remove static electricity generated in the earthing mat by ensuring that the grounding pin contacts the grounding insertion hole of the electrical outlet while the insulating dummy plug is inserted into the electrical outlet. means of solving the problem

[0009] The earthing mat equipped with graphene and a magnet according to the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned purpose comprises: a mat cover having an internal space, with edges finished, and having a graphene material printed in a specific pattern on its outer surface; an inner pad formed within the internal space of the mat cover; an electrostatic collecting member that collects static electricity generated by external friction by contacting a portion of the graphene material; and a grounding plug that is snap-coupled to the electrostatic collecting member and discharges the static electricity collected by the electrostatic collecting member through a grounding insertion hole of an electrical outlet. The grounding plug is characterized by comprising a main body, an insulating dummy plug formed on the outer surface of the main body and protruding at a certain interval to be inserted into the grounding insertion hole of the electrical outlet, and a grounding pin formed on at least one side of the main body and in contact with the grounding insertion hole of the electrical outlet. Effects of the invention

[0010] The earthing mat equipped with graphene and a magnet according to an embodiment of the present invention has the following effects.

[0011] In other words, static electricity generated in the earthing mat can be effectively removed by inserting an insulating dummy plug into an electrical outlet and ensuring that the grounding pin contacts the grounding insertion hole of the electrical outlet. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. In describing with reference to the attached drawings, identical or corresponding components are given the same reference number regardless of the drawing symbols, and redundant descriptions thereof will be omitted.

[0017] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing an earthing mat equipped with graphene and a magnet according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view for explaining the coupling relationship between the grounding plug and the electrical outlet of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the inner pad of FIG. 1.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the earthing mat (100) equipped with graphene and a magnet according to the present invention comprises a mat cover (110) having an internal space, with edges finished, and having a graphene material (111) printed in a specific pattern on its outer surface, an inner pad (300) formed in the internal space within the mat cover (110), an electrostatic collecting member (120) that collects static electricity generated by external friction by contacting a part of the graphene material (111), and a grounding plug (130) that is snap-coupled to the electrostatic collecting member (120) and discharges the static electricity collected by the electrostatic collecting member (120) through a grounding insertion hole (220) of an electric outlet (200). The grounding plug (130) comprises a main body (131) and a protruding portion formed on the outer surface of the main body (131) with a certain spacing to be inserted into the grounding insertion hole (220) of the electric outlet (200). It comprises an insulating dummy plug (132) and a grounding pin (133) configured on at least one side of the main body (131) and in contact with the grounding insertion hole (220) of the electrical outlet (200).

[0019] Here, the upper surface of the mat cover (110) is the surface that contacts the body and the lower surface is the surface that touches the floor, and the upper surface is grounded by a grounding plug (130) while a graphene material (111) having a specific pattern shape is printed on it. Therefore, static electricity generated in the body and induced currents caused by electromagnetic waves can be discharged to the earth through the graphene material (111) and the grounding plug (130).

[0020] Additionally, the upper surface of the mat cover (110), which is a part that comes into direct contact with the user, can be made of a conductive material such as graphene or a metal gold wire containing gold (Au). In this case, since the graphene has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, it can facilitate the movement of static electricity generated by the user to the grounding plug (130) through the static electricity collecting member (120).

[0021] The graphene material (111) is a graphene solution, and the graphene solution is prepared as an aqueous solution by adding graphene oxide powder to ethanol or deionized water at a ratio of 10 to 20 mg / ml and dispersing it by ultrasonic treatment, and a solvent is prepared by stirring sodium dihydrate monophosphate and choline chloride at 60 to 80°C with a molecular ratio of 1:1, and then mixing at a weight ratio of solvent to aqueous solution = 3 to 5 to 1 to 2 and stirring at 60 to 80°C, and then washing with DI water, washing at least 3 times using a centrifuge, and then printing on the upper surface of the mat cover (110) using a screen printing method.

[0022] Meanwhile, the graphene mentioned above is a thin, light, and durable material with high strength, very high malleability, electron mobility, and high thermal conductivity, so it absorbs static electricity inside the human body and emits far-infrared rays, which is effective for improving health. In addition, using graphene makes it excellent for boosting immunity when using an earthing mat (100).

[0023] Here, the far infrared rays are effective in eradicating bacteria that cause various diseases, expanding capillaries to promote blood circulation and cell tissue regeneration, preventing aging, promoting metabolism, and preventing sexual abnormalities such as chronic fatigue.

[0024] In addition, the graphene has a thermal conductivity more than twice that of diamond, allowing it to rapidly conduct body heat and radiate it into the air at a rapid rate, thereby maintaining warmth. Furthermore, by utilizing the properties of graphene, it has been proven to provide 99.9% antibacterial protection even in high-humidity environments, inhibit the occurrence and proliferation of bacteria and dust, and prevent odors while maintaining cleanliness.

[0025] In addition, the graphene mentioned above can alleviate itching and atopic dermatitis by reducing dryness through a method of absorbing and dissipating residual current flowing through the human body.

[0026] In addition, the earthing mat (100) equipped with a mat cover (110) printed with the graphene material (111) has an effect on improving thyroid function, blood sugar, blood pressure, etc., and is effective in improving blood circulation and relieving tension.

[0027] In addition, gold has excellent electrical conductivity and has nerve stabilization, skin purification and detoxification, blood circulation improvement, and antibacterial effects. The upper surface of the earthing mat (100) has electrical conductivity due to such graphene and metal gold wires.

[0028] Meanwhile, although the upper surface of the mat cover (110) has been exemplified as being formed of graphene or gold, it is not limited to these materials and any material having electrical conductivity is possible.

[0029] The graphene material (111) and the electrostatic collecting member (120) are formed on the upper edge portion of the mat cover (110), and the graphene material (111) comes into contact with the electrostatic collecting member (120) while its pattern remains connected without being broken, thereby removing static electricity generated from the mat cover (110) through the electrostatic collecting member (120) and snap-coupled to the grounding plug (130) through the grounding insertion hole (210) of the electrical outlet (200).

[0030] A plurality of magnets (310) are attached to the upper part of the inner pad (300) at regular intervals, and the magnets (310) can be used as a pressure point member while protruding to a predetermined height. The pressure point member is intended to provide a pressure point effect to the user's body and feet when the user lies down or walks on the earthing mat (100), and may have a spherical shape with a small diameter.

[0031] Meanwhile, the graphene material (111) may also be printed on the inner surface of the mat cover (110) and configured to come into contact with the magnet (310), thereby allowing the effect of the magnet (310) to be directly enjoyed.

[0032] The scientific basis for the above magnet (310) improving blood circulation and promoting metabolism is that blood containing positive and negative charged ions, such as sodium and chlorine, flows through the body, and thus blood circulation is promoted by the influence of the magnetic field.

[0033] In addition, the magnets (310) can be arranged in multiple rows. Alternatively, clay balls may be used instead of the magnets (310). The clay balls have a large surface area, and since the clay itself has a high far-infrared radiation rate, they are very useful for overcoming diseases by increasing immunity when in contact with the human body. Furthermore, the clay balls absorb harmful substances and emit useful substances, thereby exhibiting antibacterial and deodorizing effects.

[0034] The magnet (310) can have various shapes, such as a ball shape, a polyhedron such as a tetrahedron and a hexahedron, a three-dimensional star shape, etc.

[0035] In addition, the above-mentioned magnet (310) may be replaced with a ball made of germanium. Germanium is grayish-white in color and conducts with weak electric currents flowing in the human body or blood, thereby playing a role in pain relief and energy enhancement.

[0036] In addition, instead of the magnet (310), it can be manufactured by mixing loess and somatid. Somatid is a small organism contained in the blood, and it is a precursor of DNA and corresponds to the link between the substance molecule and DNA that exhibits the characteristics of the organism. Somatid can exist independently without external nutrient supply and has the characteristic of possessing genetic information even without DNA or RNA.

[0037] Furthermore, somatids fundamentally possess electrical characteristics, with their nuclei positively (+) blocked and negatively (-) charged. Somatids are known to be effective in maintaining immune function and preventing lifestyle diseases.

[0038] Meanwhile, the device further comprises a frequency generator configured on one side of the mat cover (110) to generate a specific frequency when a human body is detected through a human body detection sensor or when weight is detected through a capacitive sensor.

[0039] The above grounding plug (130) is connected to the upper surface for grounding the earthing mat (100). Since the user can use the grounding function while using the earthing mat (100) by connecting the grounding plug (130), which is electrically connected to the upper surface, to an electrical outlet (200), it is convenient to use.

[0040] Meanwhile, among the grounding plugs (130), the insulating dummy plug (132) inserted into the plug insertion hole (210) of the electric outlet (200) serves only to support the electric outlet (200) when it is inserted into the plug insertion hole (210). Since it is made of an insulating material, no electricity is transmitted, and static electricity can be effectively removed when the grounding pin (133) of the grounding plug (130) is connected to the grounding insertion hole (220) of the electric outlet (200).

[0041] The above-mentioned electric outlet (200) is provided with two or more plug insertion holes (210), and an insulating dummy plug (132) of a grounding plug (130) is connected to each plug insertion hole (210). In addition, when the insulating dummy plug (132) is inserted into the plug insertion hole (210) with a grounding insertion hole (220) formed on the side, the grounding pin (133) is connected and grounded. Therefore, static electricity or electromagnetic waves from the user can pass through the grounding plug (130) via the upper surface of the earthing mat (100) and then be discharged to the earth through the electric outlet (200) and the grounding pin (133).

[0042] Meanwhile, one end of the grounding plug (130) is snap-coupled to the electrostatic collecting member (120), and the electromagnetic waves collected by the electrostatic collecting member (120) are discharged through the grounding terminals of the cord and outlet.

[0043] The electrostatic collector (120) may be formed in a circular shape, and the surface snap-coupled to the electrostatic collector (120) may be formed of a graphene material (111) with excellent conductivity.

[0044] Meanwhile, according to a modified embodiment of the present invention, one or more materials may be used in place of red clay powder, charcoal powder, and precious serpentine powder, such as natural stone containing germanium, cerium, and yttrium or a mixture thereof, or jadeite, nephrite, jadeite, green jade, yellow jade, blue jade, maifan stone, rare earth stone, granite, black silver, zircon, and illite.

[0045] The graphene material (111) preferably contains 5 to 50 parts by weight of precious serpentine powder per 100 parts by weight of graphene fiber woven including carbon fiber and nanocarbon fiber. The carbon fiber is a fiber-shaped heating element and is a material with excellent shielding and absorption of harmful electromagnetic waves. The nanocarbon fiber is formed by twisting multiple strands of polyester thread into a spiral shape, and not only has excellent thermal efficiency but also has the characteristic of actively generating negative ions and far-infrared rays when power is applied because carbon is the main material.

[0046] Here, the preferred mixing ratio of carbon yarn and nanocarbon yarn for weaving the graphene fiber is 40-60 wt% carbon yarn : 40-60 wt% nanocarbon yarn.

[0047] The electrostatic collecting member (120) is formed on one side of the edge of the mat cover (110) and performs the function of collecting electromagnetic waves and static electricity generated from the earthing mat (100) of the present invention. That is, the electrostatic collecting member (120) performs a function similar to a type of electromagnetic wave discharge passage that collects electromagnetic waves from the earthing mat (100) that has absorbed electromagnetic waves from the human body through the graphene material (111) printed on the upper surface of the mat cover (110), and at the same time moves the collected electromagnetic waves to the grounding plug (130).

[0048] As described above, the earthing mat, which comes into direct contact with the human body, absorbs electromagnetic waves from the body and collects and emits the absorbed waves; thereby, it not only serves to connect the human body with nature but also provides significant assistance in removing free radicals during sleep.

[0049] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing the state in which an inner pad is inserted into the cover mat of the earthing mat of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a drawing showing the back side of the cover mat of the earthing mat of FIG. 1.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 4, the mat cover (110) and the inner pad (300) are separable so that only the mat cover (110) can be separated for easy washing, and the inner pad (300) has pressure members, such as magnets, formed at regular intervals on its upper surface.

[0051] Here, by coating the upper surface of the inner pad (300) with a natural magnetic mineral that helps improve concentration through brainwave induction, it is possible to induce brainwaves in a direction where gamma waves and beta waves decrease and alpha waves increase when the earthing mat is used normally. Since the learner does not need to set aside separate time, but rather learns normally, the brainwaves are induced to decrease gamma waves and beta waves that do not help with concentration and increase alpha waves that help with concentration. Therefore, the learner's study time can be extended to the maximum extent, and since the learner does not experience the stress of trying to concentrate by artificial means, beta waves and low beta waves appear very stably, which can help improve the learner's concentration.

[0052] Generally, the wavelength of brain waves basically has a frequency of 0 to 30 Hz and an amplitude of about 20 to 200 μV, and delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma waves are frequency ranges of brain waves arbitrarily classified for convenience.

[0053] Gamma (γ) waves are frequencies of 30 Hz or higher that appear during extreme arousal and excitement, beta (β) waves are frequencies of 13 to 30 Hz that are also known as stress waves and are active waves such as anxiety and tension, and alpha (α) waves are frequencies of 8 to 12.99 Hz that are seen when the mind and body are at rest and are also called stable waves.

[0054] Theta (θ) waves are brain waves that pass through when falling asleep, with a frequency of 4 to 7.99 Hz, also known as slow-wave sleep waves, and delta (δ) waves are waves that occur during sleep, with a frequency of 0.2 to 3.99 Hz, also known as sleep waves.

[0055] Recently, not only are smartphones and games having a negative impact on the brains of adolescents, but investigations into their brainwaves have confirmed that gamma and beta waves are frequently observed.

[0056] In addition, an earthing mat may be produced by inserting an extract composition containing rose extract and camellia flower extract into the inner pad (300) to protect cells from damage caused by external environmental stress, improve resistance, and promote stress relief and psychological stability through high fragrance preference.

[0057] That is, the above-mentioned rose extract and camellia flower extract, fragrance extract water and propanediol are contained as active ingredients, wherein the extract comprises 0.001% to 20% by weight of rose extract and 0.001% to 20% by weight of camellia flower extract based on the total weight of the composition, and the remainder being fragrance extract water and propanediol, wherein the weight ratio of fragrance extract water and propanediol is 8:1, wherein the rose extract is extracted by at least one selected from the group consisting of purified water, organic solvents, and mixtures thereof, and the camellia flower extract is extracted through a subcritical extraction method, wherein the subcritical extraction method extracts active ingredients by raising the vaporization point of water to maintain a liquid state under temperature and pressure conditions of 40 to 200°C and 1 to 136 atmospheres, and can increase alpha waves (α-waves) and decrease beta waves (β-waves) among brain waves.

[0058] In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the back surface of the mat cover (110) is a surface that contacts the bottom surface, and silicone patterns (112) are formed so that the earthing mat (100) does not slip.

Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are intended to explain, not limit, the technical concept of the present invention, and the scope of the technical concept of the present invention is not limited by such embodiments.
