     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0021]    Hereinafter, the disclosure is further described by way of the embodiments and drawings. The same combination of numerical reference and designation used in the embodiments of the disclosure indicates the same structure, unless there is a particular explanation. When referring to one figure, other associated figures including the same numerical reference may also be referred to, which will not be pointed out in the following description to the embodiment of the disclosure by referring to figures. 
         [0022]    The technical problem to be solved by the embodiments of the disclosure is to provide a far infrared sweat steaming box which is convenient for carry. The far infrared sweat steaming box includes a box body and a heater. 
         [0023]    The box body includes a supporting component and a foldable component. 
         [0024]    The supporting component forms a frame of the box body. The box body is formed by connecting the foldable component and the supporting component. 
         [0025]    Two specific implementation manners for folding the box body will be given below. 
         [0026]    The supporting component includes a plurality of plates, and the foldable component includes a foldable connection component(s) for connecting the plurality of plates. The plates may be folded via the foldable connection component(s). 
         [0027]    Or, the supporting component includes a skeleton, and the foldable component includes a foldable outer cover. The skeleton may be foldable, and may form the frame of the box body. The foldable outer cover is covered on the skeleton so as to form the box body. 
         [0028]    Since the box body of the far infrared sweat steaming box includes the supporting component and the foldable component, the volume of the far infrared sweat steaming box may be decreased by folding the box body, which is convenient for carry. 
         [0029]    Optionally, the plate is a hollow plate. The use of the hollow plate may lessen the weight of the box body, so that the box may be carried easily. 
         [0030]    Optionally, infrared reflection material may be provided on the inner wall of the plate or the inner wall of the outer cover. The use of the infrared reflection material may relieve the phenomenon that the plate or the outer cover absorbs infrared ray, which may reduce the waste of energy sources, and increase the utilization rate of energy sources. 
         [0031]    More specifically, the infrared reflection material is silver cloth. Of cause, using other types of infrared reflection materials doesn&#39;t affect the implementation of the disclosure. The silver cloth just is an example of infrared reflection materials, and it shouldn&#39;t be understood to limit the disclosure. 
         [0032]    Optionally, far infrared material of the heater is far infrared carbon pulp alloy. The heating element made of far infrared carbon pulp alloy material has an electricity-heat conversion rate up to 99%, approximating 100%, and has a higher utilization rate of energy sources than that made of charcoal, medical stone, bowlder, germanite, tourmaline or magnet and so on. Compared with the conventional heating material, using the carbon pulp alloy material may reduce the amount of the used material, which greatly economizes resources. 
         [0033]    Further, the far infrared sweat steaming box further includes a spectrum energy multiplier disposed in the box body. In the spectrum energy multiplier, a resistance with positive temperature coefficient (PTC) whose surface is coated with far infrared materials may serve as the heating element, which has high energy conversion efficiency, and easily achieves the precise control of energy. A blower may be installed within the spectrum energy multiplier in order to circulate the energy, and thus improve the energy uniformity of the system. The application of the spectrum energy multiplier may increase the conversion speed of energy and increase the conversion efficiency of energy. 
         [0034]    Further, the far infrared sweat steaming box further includes a chair disposed within the box body. By providing the chair in the box body, the user may be seated when using the far infrared sweat steaming box, and feel more comfortable than the case of standing, squatting and so on, which may improve the user experience. 
         [0035]    More specifically, as shown in  FIG. 1 , a schematic structural view of the far infrared sweat steaming box according to the embodiment of the disclosure is shown. 
         [0036]    The far infrared sweat steaming box includes a skeleton  101 , a heating system, a control system  104  and an outer cover  102  configured to cover on the skeleton  101 . A closed room is formed by the outer cover  102  and the skeleton  101 . A chair  105  is provided in the closed room. Zippers  106  are provided on the outer cover  102  in order to allow a user to come in and out and allow the user&#39;s head and hands to be stretched out. When the sweat steaming box is used, the head and hands of the user may be stretched out from the sweat steaming box. The heating system includes a spectrum energy multiplier  103 - 1  located in the closed room and heating plates  103 - 2  located on the inner walls of the closed room. The number of the heating plates  103 - 2  shown in  FIG. 1  is three. According to the actual conditions, the number of the heating plates  103 - 2  may be varied, which doesn&#39;t affect the implementation of the disclosure. It should be noted that the embodiment is illustrative, and not intended to limit the disclosure. The control system  104  is used to control the heating system, for example the heating power thereof. In addition, as shown in the circled part at the right of  FIG. 1 , for the sweat steaming box, the heating plates  103 - 2 , the skeleton  101  and the outer cover  102  are arranged from the inside to the outside in this order. 
         [0037]    The following description will be made taking a hollow plate as an example of the box body. As shown in  FIGS. 2A and 2B ,  FIG. 2A  is a schematic view of the box body of the far infrared sweat steaming box according to the disclosure when being folded, and  FIG. 2B  is a schematic view of the box body shown in  FIG. 2A  when being unfolded. 
         [0038]    The box body includes hollow plates  201 . Foldable connection components  202  may be provided on the hollow plates  201 , such that the hollow plates  201  may be folded via the foldable connection components  202 . Thus, the box body may be folded by folding the hollow plates  201 . 
         [0039]    If the box body includes a skeleton and an outer cover, the outer cover may be a cloth. If the skeleton may be folded or disassembled, the whole box body may be folded. 
         [0040]    Only the preferred embodiments of the disclosure have been described. It should be noted that there is a limitation in the word expression, but the specific structure is unlimited objectively. Thus, it is appreciated that many improvements and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the disclosure, and these improvements and modifications should be deemed to fall into the protection scope of the disclosure.
