  • Patent number: 8373096
    Abstract: A toilet seat heating device is installed between a toilet cover and a bowl to provide a warming function when people use the toilet. The toilet seat heating device includes a base plate which is provided with a carbon fiber on the hotline, an upper seat and a cooling fin which is provided between the base plate and the upper seat. An upper side of the base plate is provided with an annular groove into which the carbon fiber on the hotline is provided to contact with the cooling fin. When the carbon fiber on the hotline is energized, the cooling fin can quickly absorb heat energy of the carbon fiber on the hotline and then conduct the heat energy upward to the upper seat, thereby providing a warm and comfortable toilet seat.

  • Publication number: 20120145700
    Abstract: An electrical heating wire containing carbon fiber includes a heating unit and an insulation sleeve cladding on the heating unit. The heating unit is a carbon fiber bundle constituted by plural carbon fiber yarns or a structure formed by wrapping, weaving or twining the carbon fiber bundle with at least one element among a glass fiber bundle, a rock fiber bundle, a ceramic fiber bundle and a DuPont Kevlar® are fiber bundle (aromatic polyamide fiber bundle). The carbon fiber yarn can be a structure with metal particles on the surface, a dual-layered structure with a metal layer or a graphite layer on the surface, or a porous structure. Accordingly, by the present invention, the thermal conductivity can be increased, the resistance can be reduced, the thermal diffusion coefficient can be increased, the weight can be reduced and the hygroscopicity can be improved, thus providing a better efficiency of electrical heating.

  • Publication number: 20110315671
    Abstract: A forming method of a toilet seat which is integrally formed with an embedded heating wire uses primarily a plastic material or glass fiber reinforced plastic to embed a heating wire in a toilet seat, forming the toilet seat which is integrally formed with the embedded heating wire. The toilet seat which is integrally formed with the embedded heating wire is characterized in that the said toilet seat is embedded with the heating wire which contacts with the toilet seat without leaving a gap, thereby forming the integrally formed toilet seat.
