Abstract

It is intended to provide a thermal stimulation apparatus for vehicles which can exert effects of, for example, reducing fatigue and improving physical conditions on a crew member in a vehicle. In a thermal stimulation apparatus for vehicles (10), when the biorhythm (for example, respiration rhythm) with periodical changes of a crewmember is detected by a piezoelectric sensor (26), heater elements (22, 24) are switched on by a control circuit (16) based on the detection data and thus thermal stimuli synchronizing the respiration rhythm of the crew member are provided to the crew member by switching on / off the heater element (22, 24). As a result, the autonomic nerve (parasympathetic nerve) activity of the crew member can be enhanced. Therefore, it becomes possible to exert effects of, for example, reducing fatigue and improving physical conditions on a crew member in a vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a thermal stimulation device for a vehicle, in particular to a thermal stimulation device for a vehicle capable of applying thermal stimulation to passengers on the vehicle. Background technique [0002] For a long time, the following products have been known as heating devices (for example, refer to Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). For example, in Patent Document 1, an example of a vehicle heater is disclosed. In the example described in this Patent Document 1, a plurality of heaters are dividedly installed on a vehicle seat, and the heat generation values ​​of the plurality of heaters are changed. In addition, by intensively heating the parts of the human body that are prone to temperature stimulation, the effect of bringing rapid heating to the passengers is achieved. [0003] Furthermore, for example, in Patent Document 2, an example of an electric blanket is disclosed. In the example described in this Patent Do...
