Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a kind of mattress, and more specifically relates to a kind of health care air-flow heating/cooling mattress.


A mattress available nowadays is usually a foam mattress or a spring coil mattress. Another kind of mattress called an air bed which is formed by an air bag is also available in the market. An air bed is much more desired by a person or a patient who needs to stay on the bed for most of the time. It is because an air bed is usually softer. However, since an air bed is poorly ventilated and contacts a large surface area of the body, users may easily develop sores and feel hot and stuffy, and may even suffer from rashes and acnes. Moreover, it is also not easy to turn the body on the air bed. Therefore, an air bed has poor applicability. Furthermore, due to the specialty of human body which has skin cells that can breathe and which has capillary vessels of the skin stretching like a net, a large area of skin cells on the back of the body are pressurized for a long period of time during sleep due to large surface contact between the mattress and the back of the body that lies on the mattress. As a result, the capillary vessels are pressurized and the blood flow is blocked, thereby causing the skill cells to be fall short of oxygen and blood supply. Sleeping quality will be seriously affected under these sleeping conditions, and thus decreasing the immunity of the body as well and lowering the general quality of life.


BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a health care air-flow heating/cooling mattress. The present invention reduces the pressurized surface area of the body during sleep, as well as causes changes in pressurized body parts during sleep so that different body parts are pressurized in different times in order to ensure smooth blood flow in the capillary vessels.


The present invention has the following technical scheme:


A health care air-flow heating/cooling mattress, comprising a mattress body and a heating/cooling pressurizing device connected with the mattress body; the mattress body comprises circular air sacs that bear pressure independently, square air sacs that bear pressure alternately, heating/cooling air supply pipes evenly distributed on the mattress body, and a pressurizing pipe connected to the square air sacs; the heating/cooling air supply pipes are connected with the heating/cooling pressurizing device; the pressurizing pipe runs inside the heating/cooling air supply pipes; the pressurizing pipe is connected with an air compressor; an air inlet of the pressurizing pipe is provided with a solenoid valve; the solenoid valve is controlled by chips; two sides of said heating/cooling air supply pipes are provided with small blow holes; the small blow holes of two adjacent heating/cooling air supply pipes are provided in staggered arrangement to prevent streams of air flow clash with one another; the circular air sacs are formed by a surface layer and a bottom layer; the surface layer and the bottom layer are pressed together to form a plurality of separate sealed air sacs; a position on the mattress corresponding to a head of a user is arranged with the circular air sacs; the square air sacs are inflatable air sacs which are inflatable or deflatable so as to cause the sealed air sacs positioned above the inflatable air sacs to move up and down.


A zone consisting of the square air sacs has an upper layer, a middle layer and a lower layer, wherein the upper layer being the sealed air sacs, the middle layer being the bottom layer of the circular air sacs, and the lower layer being the inflatable air sacs.


Each row of the inflatable air sacs of the lower layer is further divided into two secondary rows, and in each secondary row, the inflatable air sacs are in communication with one other through air communication holes; the inflatable air sacs are in communication with the pressurizing pipe to increase, maintain or reduce pressure of the inflatable air sacs to achieve deflation or inflation of the inflatable air sacs.


The air compressor and the solenoid valve are mounted inside a machine housing.


The heating/cooling pressurizing device comprises the machine housing, a negative ion generator at an air exit of the machine housing; a fan provided inside the machine housing, and a TCH ceramic far infrared heating element provided inside the machine housing; an exit of the fan is in communication with an air inlet of the TCH ceramic far infrared heating element via a pipe; the fan is formed by a sound proof shell, a high speed smart motor disposed on an upper part of the sound proof shell, and blades provided at an output shaft of the high speed smart motor; the sound proof shell is formed by an upper part and a lower part; the lower part of the sound proof shell forms a spiral shape; the sound proof shell is provided inside a sealed container; shock reduction springs are provided between the sound proof shell and the sealed container; the sealed container is mounted inside the machine housing; a bottom part of the machine housing is provided with an air inlet opening; the air inlet opening is provided with a filter net covering.


The mattress of the present invention uses separate circular air sacs that bear pressure independently, inflatable air sacs, and integrally formed air supply pipes and an independent pressurizing pipe; a time interval from 1 min to 25 mins can be set for the mattress to change its contact with one body part to another body part, so that skin cells of different body parts are subject to pressure against the mattress in different times and thereby being allowed to relax from pressure when not being pressurized against the mattress. Therefore, the present invention ensures healthy cell growth while improving the quality of sleep and enhancing the immune system. The present invention promotes wellness of the body and good quality of life. Moreover, the present invention is silent during operation.
