HPT 방식의 온열침대 디자인 개발에 관한 연구

A Study on Thermo-Bed Design Development of HPT System

These days, beds have been developed not as furniture to sleep in but Healthcare Furniture. The function of heating, non-electronic-waves and far-infrared rays have been added. Also, eco-friendly materials such as stone, mud, rubber and wood are combined to them togeth-er with the radiation-heating method using heat conduction through electronic coil and hot wa-ter circulation. Modern people suffer from stress and fatigue. The hot issue is “health.” Focused on the health, the development of design for beds considering the influence electronic waves, anions, deep sleep and the density of toxic materials have on human bodies has become urgent. In this study, the trend, specification and efficiency of the functional health-related electronic coil technology are analyzed. Through the analysis, the environmental standards are set. Accor-ding to them, technology, eco-friendly materials and additional functions for the development of the design are considered. Also, the government is promoting the IEC international stand-ardization for the Korean traditional floor heating style beds. In preparation for that, we adopt-ed new HPT method technology. It enables non-electronic-waves, low electricity and stable tem-perature maintenance control for the warm top and the cool bottom. Also, the head boards and the frames of the beds can be separated. Through this separation, the beds can be easily moved or installed. Eco-friendly materials such as Hinoki cypress wood and red clay and the existing tables function are combined to the head boards so they can be used as drawers and display shelves. If they are used as separate items, they can be used as covers. This is how we suggest the design for the heating beds.
