しかながら、前記電気寝具は、人が寝ていては乾燥や温度調整を行うことは出来ないので、寝た切りで床を出るのが苦痛であり、介助を要する病人等は使用することができない問題点がある。 However, since the electric bedding cannot be dried or temperature-adjusted when a person is sleeping, it is painful to get out of the floor by sleeping and cannot be used by a sick person who needs assistance. There is a problem.

本発明は前記問題点を解消し、人が寝ていても寝具へ空気を貫流させて乾燥や温度調整を容易に行なえる寝具の乾燥温度調整床を提供することをその課題とする。 An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a drying temperature adjusting floor for bedding that allows air to flow through the bedding even when a person is sleeping and can easily perform drying and temperature adjustment.

前記課題を解決するため、本発明に係る寝具の乾燥温度調整床は、下記の構成を採用することを特徴とする。
寝具の下へ常設して、内部の空間へ送風すると空気が寝具を下から上へ貫流して乾燥等を行なう寝具乾燥床であって、この乾燥床は、人の体重がかかっても潰れずに内部の空間を保持する殻構造に形成されて、寝具を乗せる上面には多数の通気孔を設けられ、側面等には内部の空間へ温度調整した空気を送り込む送風手段を接続されていること。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the bed temperature drying bed according to the present invention employs the following configuration.
It is a bedding drying floor that is permanently installed under the bedding and air flows through the bedding from the bottom to the top when air is blown into the interior space. The drying floor does not collapse even if it is covered by human weight. It is formed in a shell structure that holds the internal space, and a large number of ventilation holes are provided on the upper surface on which the bedding is placed, and air blowing means for sending temperature-controlled air to the internal space is connected to the side surface, etc. .

請求項１の効果
（１）殻構造に形成した乾燥床は、寝具に人が寝ていても内部の空間が保持されるため
、送風手段から送られる空気は通気口より吹き出して寝具を貫流し、寝具の乾燥と殺菌、殺虫等に加えて寝具を暖めたり、冷やしたりする温度の調整もできるため、寝たきりの病人が寝具の乾燥等のために床を出たり、介護者がこれを介助したりする必要がなくなって
、病人及び介護者の負担を軽減することができるだけでなく、寝ながら寝具の乾燥及び殺菌、殺虫から温度の加減までできれば健常者にとっても大変便利である。 Advantages of Claim 1 (1) The dry floor formed in the shell structure maintains the internal space even when a person is sleeping on the bedding, so the air sent from the blowing means blows out from the vent and flows through the bedding. In addition to drying and sterilization of bedding, insecticide, etc., the temperature of bedding can be adjusted by heating and cooling, so bedridden patients can leave the floor for drying of bedding, etc. In addition to not only reducing the burden on the sick and caregivers, it is also very convenient for healthy people if they can dry and sterilize bedding, kill insects and adjust the temperature while sleeping.

（２）殻構造の乾燥床は、畳の上へ置いたり、ベッド台の上へ置いたりして使用することもでき、しかも、下側へベッド脚を一体に形成すれば、ベッド台として使用することもできる。 (2) The dry floor with a shell structure can be used by placing it on a tatami mat or on a bed table, and if the bed leg is integrally formed on the lower side, it can be used as a bed table. You can also

以下に本発明に係る寝具の乾燥温度調整床の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。 Embodiments of a drying temperature adjusting bed for bedding according to the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

図１において符号１は、寝具乾燥床を示す。この乾燥床１は、寝具２の下へ常設して置いて、内部の空間３へ送風手段４により乾燥用の空気を送ると、この空気が上面１ａに設けた通気孔５より吹き出して寝具２を貫流するので、寝具２が通気乾燥されるものであり
、また、温度調整用の空気を送ると、寒い冬は寝具２を暖め、暑い夏は寝具２を冷やして、寝具２を快眠できる温度に調整することができる。 In FIG. 1, the code | symbol 1 shows a bedding dry floor. When the drying floor 1 is permanently placed under the bedding 2 and air for drying is sent to the internal space 3 by the blowing means 4, the air is blown out from the vent hole 5 provided in the upper surface 1 a and the bedding 2. The bedding 2 is ventilated and dried, and when air for temperature adjustment is sent, the temperature at which the bedding 2 can be warmed by cooling the bedding 2 in the cold winter and cooling the bedding 2 in the hot summer. Can be adjusted.

また、この乾燥床１は、寝る人の体重がかかっても潰れることがなく、内部に空間３が保持されるように、合成樹脂、金属等の材料で殻構造に形成する。そして、その形状は敷き寝具２の形状、寸法を合せた長方形とするものであって、図２（ａ）に示す通りの単体構造として、内部の空間３を仕切壁６で複数、図２（ａ）においては３−１、３−２、３−３の３つに区分するか、寝具２の形状、寸法に合せた長方形を複数、図２（ｂ）においては１−１、１−２、１−３の３つに区分した構成として、空間を３−１、３−２、３−３の３つに区分して、各空間３−１、３−２、３−３の一方の側面７には、それぞれ空気を取り入れる入風口８を設けてある。 Further, the dry floor 1 is formed into a shell structure with a material such as a synthetic resin and metal so that the space 3 is held inside without being crushed even if the weight of the sleeping person is applied. And the shape is a rectangle that combines the shape and dimensions of the bedclothes 2, and as a single structure as shown in FIG. 2 (a), a plurality of internal spaces 3 are formed by the partition walls 6, FIG. In FIG. 2B, a plurality of rectangles are divided into three, 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 according to the shape or size of the bedding 2, and 1-1 and 1-2 in FIG. As a configuration divided into three of 1-3, the space is divided into three of 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, one of each of the spaces 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 The side surface 7 is provided with an air inlet 8 for taking in air.

なお、乾燥床１は、図１に示す通り、ベッド台９の上へ置いて、この上に寝具２を常設して置くか、図６に示す通り、畳１０の上へ置いてこの上に寝具２を常設して置くか、或いは、図７に示す通り、乾燥床１の下側に脚１１を一体成形して置くことにより、乾燥床１をベッド台として、この上に寝具２を常設して置くようにする。 As shown in FIG. 1, the dry floor 1 is placed on the bed table 9 and the bedding 2 is permanently installed thereon, or as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the bedding 2 is permanently set or placed on the lower side of the dry floor 1 so as to form the leg 11 as a bed, and the bedding 2 is permanently set thereon. And put it.

乾燥床１の上面の１ａに設ける通気孔５は、図１、図６、図７に示す通り小さい円孔を寝具２の各部に対してなるべく平均した空気の供給が行われるように適当なピッチで配置しても良い。しかし、図３に示す通り大き目のピッチで円孔を配置し、これ等の円孔の周囲に、先端側ほど幅と深さが減少する通気溝１２を複数、図３においては４条、放射状に設ければ、これら通気溝１２によって円孔よりも広い範囲へ空気が拡散供給されるだけでなく、円孔が何かで塞がれた場合でも、空気は通気溝１２により供給されて止ることがなくて好ましい。 The ventilation holes 5 provided on the upper surface 1a of the dry bed 1 are provided with an appropriate pitch so that air can be supplied by averaging small circular holes as much as possible to each part of the bedding 2 as shown in FIGS. You may arrange with. However, as shown in FIG. 3, circular holes are arranged at a large pitch, and around these circular holes, there are a plurality of ventilation grooves 12 whose width and depth decrease toward the tip side. In this case, air is not only diffused and supplied to a wider range than the circular holes by these ventilation grooves 12, but also when the circular holes are blocked by something, the air is supplied by the ventilation grooves 12 and stops. It is preferable because there is nothing.

乾燥床１における内部の空間３は、複数に区分することにより個々の空間３の容積を小さくしてあるので、そのままでも、空間３へ空気が充満して上面１ａに設けた通気孔５より吹き出し、寝具２の各部を貫流する空気の量には大きなむらを生じさせることはない。しかし、更に、寝具２の各部に対する空気の貫流むらを少なくするためには、空間３内に空気の通路１３を設けることが好ましい。 Since the internal space 3 in the dry floor 1 is divided into a plurality of spaces, the volume of each space 3 is reduced, so that the space 3 is filled with air and blown out from the vent hole 5 provided in the upper surface 1a. The amount of air flowing through each part of the bedding 2 does not cause large unevenness. However, in order to reduce the uneven flow of air to each part of the bedding 2, it is preferable to provide an air passage 13 in the space 3.

前記空気の通路１３の一例は、図５（ａ）に示す通り、空間３−１内に複数、図においては５枚のＩ字形をなす誘導壁１４を、一端が入風口８に対応し、他端が反対側の側面１５へ接合されるように等間隔で平行に配置して、これ等誘導壁１４の長さを、中央部のものよりも両側のものが順次短くなるようにする。そして、両外側の誘導壁１４と、中間の誘導壁１４の入風口８に対応する端部に、入風口８から流入する空気の一部を内側の誘導壁１４との間へ導入し、残部を外側の誘導壁１４の方へ流動させる誘導斜片１６を取り付けて、各誘導壁１４の間に独立した通路１３を形成させる。このようにすると、入風口８から空間３−１へ送られた空気は、誘導斜片１６の作用で各誘導壁１４の間へ配分供給されて各通路１３をほぼ同様に流れる。 As shown in FIG. 5A, an example of the air passage 13 has a plurality of I-shaped guide walls 14 in the space 3-1, one end corresponding to the air inlet 8 in the figure, The other ends are arranged in parallel at equal intervals so as to be joined to the opposite side surface 15, and the lengths of these guide walls 14 are sequentially shortened on both sides than on the central portion. Then, a part of the air flowing from the inlet 8 is introduced between the outer guide walls 14 and the end corresponding to the inlet 8 of the intermediate guide wall 14 between the inner guide walls 14 and the remaining part. Are attached to the outer guide walls 14 to form independent passages 13 between the guide walls 14. If it does in this way, the air sent to the space 3-1 from the air inlet 8 will be distributed and supplied between each guide wall 14 by the effect | action of the guide slant piece 16, and will flow through each channel | path 13 in the same way.

空気の通路１３の他の例は、図５（ｂ）に示す通り、空間３−１内にＵ字形をなす誘導壁１７と、Ｉ字形をなす３枚の誘導壁１８とを、Ｕ字形をなす誘導壁１７は、回折部１７ａが側面７の中央部に設けた入風口８に対応して、他端は空間３の反対側の側面１５に対応し、Ｉ字形をなす３つの誘導壁１８は、Ｕ字形をなす誘導壁１７の間へ、両側のものは一端が側面１５へ接合されて、他端が誘導壁１７の回折部１７ａへ対応し、中央のものは一端が誘導壁１７の回折部１７ａへ接合されて、他端が側面１５に対応するように配置し
、２組の対向する通路１３を形成する。このようにすると、入風口８から空間３内へ送られた空気は、Ｕ字形をなす誘導壁１７の両外側を矢印の方向へ進んだ後、側面１５に当ると折り返して誘導壁１７の内側を矢印の方向へ進み、誘導壁１７の回折部１７ａに当ると折り返して、両側の誘導壁１８の内側を矢印方向へ進む空気の流れを生じる。 Another example of the air passage 13 includes a U-shaped guide wall 17 and three I-shaped guide walls 18 in the space 3-1, as shown in FIG. The formed guiding wall 17 corresponds to the air inlet 8 provided in the central portion of the side surface 7 by the diffraction portion 17a, the other end corresponds to the side surface 15 on the opposite side of the space 3, and the three guiding walls 18 having an I-shape are formed. Is between the U-shaped guide walls 17, one on both sides is joined to the side 15, the other corresponds to the diffractive portion 17 a of the guide wall 17, and one on the center is on the guide wall 17. Joined to the diffractive portion 17a, the other end is arranged so as to correspond to the side surface 15, and two sets of opposing passages 13 are formed. In this way, the air sent from the air inlet 8 into the space 3 travels in the direction of the arrow on both outer sides of the U-shaped guide wall 17 and then turns back when it hits the side surface 15 to enter the inside of the guide wall 17. Is turned in the direction of the arrow, and when it hits the diffractive portion 17a of the guide wall 17, it is folded back to generate an air flow that travels inside the guide walls 18 on both sides in the direction of the arrow.

乾燥床１内の空間３へ空気を送る送風手段４は、筐体１９に送風機２０と空気の加熱器２１及び冷却器２２を内蔵させて、送風管２３を乾燥床１の側面７に設けた入風口８へ接続し、送風機２０と加熱器２１を作動させると暖かい空気が乾燥床１の空間３へ送られ、送風機２０と冷却器２２を作動させると冷たい空気が乾燥床１の空間３へ送られ、送風機２０だけを作動させると常温の空気が乾燥床１の空間３へ送られるようにしてある。なお
、送風機２０は排風機に切り替えられるものを用いると、空間から空気を排出して通気孔５に吸引力を作用させ、寝具２に逆方向に空気を貫流させて温度の調整や除湿等を行うことができる。 The air blowing means 4 for sending air to the space 3 in the dry floor 1 has a blower 20, an air heater 21 and a cooler 22 built in the housing 19, and a blower pipe 23 is provided on the side surface 7 of the dry floor 1. When the blower 20 and the heater 21 are operated by connecting to the air inlet 8, warm air is sent to the space 3 of the dry floor 1, and when the blower 20 and the cooler 22 are operated, cold air is sent to the space 3 of the dry floor 1. When only the blower 20 is operated, air at normal temperature is sent to the space 3 of the dry floor 1. If the blower 20 can be switched to a blower, the air is discharged from the space, a suction force is applied to the vent hole 5, and the air is passed through the bedding 2 in the opposite direction to adjust the temperature, dehumidify, etc. It can be carried out.

前記実施形態に示す寝具の乾燥温度調整床１は、図１に示す通りベッド台９の上か、図６に示す通り畳１０の上へ置いて、この乾燥床１の上に寝具２を常設して置く。そして、寝具２を乾燥するときは、加熱器２１で空気を寝たままの乾燥に適した温度に調整して送風機２０により乾燥床１内の空間３へ送る。すると、空気は乾燥床１の上面１ａに設けた通気孔５から吹き出して、寝具２を下から上ヘ貫流するとき、寝具２に含まれる湿度を除いて寝具２の寝ながらの乾燥を行なう。 The drying temperature adjusting floor 1 of the bedding shown in the embodiment is placed on the bed base 9 as shown in FIG. 1 or on the tatami 10 as shown in FIG. 6, and the bedding 2 is permanently installed on the drying floor 1. And put. When the bedding 2 is dried, the air is adjusted to a temperature suitable for drying with the heater 21, and is sent to the space 3 in the drying floor 1 by the blower 20. Then, air blows out from the vent hole 5 provided on the upper surface 1 a of the drying floor 1, and when the bedding 2 flows from the bottom to the top, the bedding 2 is dried while sleeping except for the humidity contained in the bedding 2.

また、寒い季節に寝具２を暖めるときは、加熱器２１で空気を希望する温度に暖めて、送風機２０により乾燥床１内の空間３へ送る。すると、空気は乾燥床１の上面１ａに設けた通気孔５から吹き出して寝具２を貫流するとき、寝具２を暖めて寒い季節に寒さを感じず快眠できるようにする。 Further, when the bedding 2 is warmed in the cold season, the air is warmed to a desired temperature by the heater 21 and sent to the space 3 in the dry floor 1 by the blower 20. Then, when air blows out from the vent hole 5 provided on the upper surface 1a of the dry floor 1 and flows through the bedding 2, the bedding 2 is warmed so that it can sleep without feeling cold in the cold season.

更に、暑い季節に寝具２を冷やすときは、加熱器２２で空気を希望する温度に冷やして
、送風機２０により乾燥床１内の空間３へ送る。すると、空気は乾燥床１の上面１ａに設けた通気孔５から吹き出して、寝具２を下から上ヘ貫流するとき、寝具２を冷やして暑い季節に暑さを感じず快眠できるようにする。 Further, when the bedding 2 is cooled in the hot season, the air is cooled to a desired temperature by the heater 22 and sent to the space 3 in the dry floor 1 by the blower 20. Then, air blows out from the vent hole 5 provided on the upper surface 1a of the dry floor 1, and when the bedding 2 flows from the bottom to the top, the bedding 2 is cooled so that it can sleep without feeling heat in the hot season.

なお、寝具２が蒸れる季節には、送風機２０だけを作動させて常温の空気を乾燥床１の空間３へ送ると、空気が上面１ａの通気孔５から吹き出して、寝具２を下から上ヘ貫流するとき、寝具２にこもる蒸れ気を排除して蒸れる季節に蒸れを感じず快眠することができ
るものであり、この作用は、排風機に切換え可能な送風機２０を用いる場合は、空間３から空気を排出するように作動させて、通気孔５に吸引力が作用させることにより、寝具２にこもる蒸れ気を吸い出しにより排除して快眠できる状態に調整することができる。 In the season when the bedding 2 is steamed, when only the blower 20 is operated and air at normal temperature is sent to the space 3 of the dry floor 1, the air blows out from the vent holes 5 on the upper surface 1 a, and the bedding 2 moves from the bottom to the top. When flowing through, it is possible to eliminate the stuffiness in the bedding 2 and to feel a good sleep without feeling stuffy in the season when it gets muddy, and this effect is achieved from the space 3 when using the blower 20 that can be switched to the exhaust fan. By operating so as to discharge air and applying a suction force to the vent hole 5, it is possible to adjust to a state in which it is possible to eliminate the stuffy stagnation in the bedding 2 by sucking out and to have a good sleep.

寝たままで寝具の乾燥及び温度の調整ができることを望む病人がいる家庭、病院、施設等において特に有効に利用できる。 It can be used particularly effectively in homes, hospitals, facilities, etc. where there is a sick person who wants to be able to dry the bedclothes and adjust the temperature while lying down.
