Description
Functional quilt manufacturing method
[0001] The present invention relates to a functional comforter, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a functional comforter that can provide a comfortable sleep during the hot summer by providing an air supply hose that injects air into the comforter so that air can be injected and injected as needed.
[0002] Perhaps due to global warming, our country's climate is getting warmer each year, leading to growing concerns that it may be resembling a subtropical climate. Consequently, tropical nights, once a common occurrence during the midsummer heatwave, are becoming more frequent.
[0003] Tropical nights are when the heat from the ground heated by the sun during the day is released into the atmosphere through radiation at night, so the temperature does not drop even at night. This usually refers to cases where the lowest temperature in the morning exceeds 25 degrees Celsius.
[0004] These tropical nights are more common in large cities where the ground is mostly paved and forests are relatively scarce.
[0005] In particular, sleep is significantly affected by temperature and weather. As temperatures rise, heart rate increases, body movements become more frequent, and sleep depth decreases. Consequently, even after sleep, you may not feel fully rested and lack energy.
[0006] If these sleep changes continue, even if the tropical nights disappear, recovery does not occur quickly, leading to various symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, lethargy, difficulty concentrating, headaches, loss of appetite, and digestive problems, which decrease work efficiency and increase the possibility of industrial accidents in the workplace.
[0007] Many people are installing electronic devices such as air conditioners and fans in their living spaces to cool down.
[0008] However, the artificial wind from air conditioners and fans is causing air conditioning sickness in people.
[0009] In addition, the long-term use of these electronic devices places a great burden on users by charging excessive electricity bills.
[0010] Nowadays, products that are not harmful to the human body and do not burden the user with usage fees are gaining attention instead of artificial wind.
[0011] For example, the number of people looking for products such as cooling mats that can be placed on beds or floors to keep them cool during hot summers is increasing.
[0012] Cool mat is a cooling gel that utilizes the properties of phase change material (PCM). The heat from the body is absorbed into the mat, and the cold from the cooling gel is absorbed into the body, lowering the body temperature by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius.
[0013] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0108505 (September 30, 2015) relates to a cool mat and a manufacturing method thereof, and discloses a cool mat and a manufacturing method thereof in which a refrigerant substance included in the cool mat is impregnated into the pores of the medium through a separate medium and included in the cool mat, thereby preventing the refrigerant substance from being damaged or cracked even when frequently bent or compressed, thereby improving durability, and in which the medium portion where the refrigerant substance is impregnated in the cool mat improves elasticity or restoring force through a separate buffering support portion, and improves support force through upper and lower plates, and maximizes the contact area between the refrigerant substance and the outer skin of the cool mat even when a separate medium portion is included in the cool mat.
[0014] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1895072 (August 29, 2018) relates to a functional comforter having an air flow layer, and presents a functional comforter having an air flow layer, characterized by including an air flow layer in which air flows by receiving cold or hot air from an air supply unit that supplies cold or hot air, an insulating layer formed on the upper side of the air flow layer and insulating the cold or hot air flowing in the air flow layer so that it is not discharged to the outside, and a ventilation layer formed on the lower side of the air flow layer and having breathability to transmit the cold or hot air of the air flow layer to the body.

[0041] The functional quilt (100) of the present invention comprises an outer surface coating step (S110) in which a first coating (112) including Icaridin, lavender water, citric acid, ethanol, purified water, a fragrance, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil and PEG-8 for insect repelling is applied to the outer surface of the outer surface (110), and a second coating layer (113) including a super absorbent antibacterial desiccant including a desiccant substance, a super absorbent polymer (SAP), a pH adjusting substance, starch, a preservative and an antibacterial substance for moisturizing, dehumidifying, antibacterial and bacterial growth inhibition is applied to the inner surface of the outer surface,
[0042] An outer shell having first and second coating layers is formed into two layers, and an air supply hose (120) made of soft silicone or rubber is arranged in a zigzag pattern inside the two layers of the outer shell to fuse the outer shell and the air supply hose, and an air supply hose and outer shell fusion step (S120) is performed to fuse the air nozzle (121) of the air supply hose so that it communicates with the groove (111).
[0043] An insulation filling step (S130) for filling the entire interior of the outer shell, including the space between the air supply hoses, with insulation,
[0044] It is manufactured through an outer periphery finishing step (S140) in which the outer periphery of the outer skin is fused and sealed in a state where filling is complete.
[0045] A functional quilt (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises an outer shell (110) filled with an insulating material (114), an air supply hose (120) arranged in a zigzag pattern inside the outer shell (110), and an air supply device (130) connected to the air supply hose (120) to supply air, so that air is supplied by operating the air supply device and sprayed through the spray nozzle (121) of the air supply hose (120), thereby providing a comfortable and relaxing sleep.
[0046] The outer covering (110) constituting the functional quilt (100) may be made of fabric or microfiber, and it is preferable that a resin material be mixed into the fabric or microfiber for heat bonding with the air supply hose flowing inside.
[0047] In addition, without resin coating, rivet-type fusion can be performed by adding resin from the outside during fusion.
[0048] Meanwhile, it is preferable that the air supply hose (120) is made of soft silicone or rubber.
[0049] In particular, it is preferable to form a recessed portion (111) that is sunken inward on the outer skin through which the air supply hose (120) passes.
[0050] That is, a spray nozzle (121) that sprays air up and down the air supply hose (120) is configured, and it is preferable that the spray nozzle (121) be configured at the position of the groove portion (111).
[0051] Since the part where the injection nozzle is positioned is formed as a groove (111), the phenomenon of clogging of the injection nozzle is prevented, so that desired air is injected.
[0052] The above air supply hose is depicted in a zigzag shape in the drawing, but it is not limited to this and can be arranged in various shapes.
[0053] In addition, it is desirable to use the functional comforter of the present invention to keep cool in the summer heat, but it is disclosed that it can be used in the winter by removing the air supply unit (130).
[0054] FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the “A” portion of FIG. 4, in which the outer surface of the outer skin (110) of the present invention can be coated with a first coating layer (112) for insect repelling.
[0055] The composition of the first coating layer (112) for the above-mentioned insect repellent includes Icaridin lavender water, citric acid, ethanol, purified water, a fragrance, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, and PEG-8.
[0056] The above Icaridin, also called Picaridin, is a substance with a high chemical structural similarity to piperine extracted from black pepper trees and is a mosquito and tick repellent ingredient that has passed safety and efficacy standards.
[0057] Specifically, it is not an insecticide that directly harms pests, but it is a substance that acts on the pests' olfactory receptors to prevent pests such as mosquitoes from approaching.
[0058] Although Icaridin is a chemical repellent, it is colorless, odorless, non-sticky, and non-irritating to the skin. It has excellent longevity and does not damage coatings, plastics, or synthetic fibers, so it can be sprayed on blankets.
[0059] In addition, the inner surface of the outer skin (110) is provided with a second coating layer (113) for moisturizing, dehumidifying, antibacterial, and bacterial growth inhibition.
[0060] It is preferable that the composition of the second coating layer (113) is composed of a highly hygroscopic antibacterial desiccant composition containing a desiccant substance, a super absorbent polymer (SAP), a pH adjusting substance, starch, a preservative, and an antibacterial substance.
