Abstract

To provide a heating apparatus for a heat treatment machine configured to accurately bring each ceramic member into contact with a set moxibustion point, the present invention provides a heating apparatus for a heat treatment machine including a base plate, an ascending and descending member of which one end is coupled to the base plate through a coupler, a plurality of ceramic members provided in the ascending and descending member, a first driving part configured to raise and lower the ascending and descending member, and a second driving part configured to convey the base plate in a horizontal direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A heating apparatus for a heat treatment machine, comprising:
a base plate;
an ascending and descending member of which one end is coupled to the base plate through a coupler and coupling pins, wherein the ascending and descending member is configured to ascend and descend by rotating around the coupling pins;
a plurality of ceramic members each having a heating member and each provided in the ascending and descending member;
a first driving part coupled to the ascending and descending member and configured to raise and lower the ascending and descending member;
a second driving part coupled to the base plate and configured to convey the base plate in a horizontal direction; and
a controller configured to calculate a conveying distance of the base plate on the basis of an ascending and descending distance of each of the ceramic members, and control the second driving part according to the calculated conveying distance, wherein the second driving part is configured to convey the base plate in the horizontal direction to unify a location of each of the ceramic members before and after the ascending and descending member is raised in a vertical direction when a vertical position of each of the ceramic members is shifted while the ascending and descending member ascends and descends.

2. The heating apparatus for a heat treatment machine of claim 1 , wherein the first driving part includes:
a driving part;
a rotating member connected to the driving part; and a guide member connected to the ascending and descending member and configured to come into contact with the rotating member.

3. The heating apparatus for a heat treatment machine of claim 2 , wherein: the rotating member includes a first gear part; and the guide member includes a second gear part having a curved shape and engaged with the first gear part.

4. The heating apparatus for a heat treatment machine of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor part configured to sense body information of a user and provide the body information to the controller.

5. The heating apparatus for a heat treatment machine of claim 4 , wherein the controller raises and lowers the ascending and descending member according to the sensed body information of the user.
