Detailed Description

The accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure and it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely examples of the disclosure, which can be embodied in various forms, and therefore, specific details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the cooling and heating garment 100 includes a garment body 1 and a tec (thermal Electric cooler) module 2 detachably mounted to a mounting hole 11.

The garment body 1 is a jacket with long sleeves, trousers and the like. In some examples, the garment body 1 is a protective garment. The protective clothing is, for example, epidemic prevention clothing, radiation protection clothing, etc.

The clothing body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 11 penetrating through the clothing body 1. The mounting hole 11 has a first opening 111 and a second opening 112, the first opening 111 being at a side facing the human body, the second opening 112 being at an environment facing outside the garment. In one example, as shown in fig. 5, the shape of the mounting hole 11 is complementary to the outer shape of the TEC module 2, thereby improving the mounting stability of the TEC module 2 and improving the flatness and beauty of the appearance of the garment body 1 on which the TEC module 2 is mounted. In addition, compared with the case that the mounting hole 11 is completely encapsulated in the garment body 1, the convenience of heat exchange with the human body in the cooling or heating process is improved, the flexibility of the garment body 1 where the mounting hole 11 and the TEC module 2 are arranged is improved, and the flexibility of the action of the human body and the wearing comfort of the garment body 1 where the TEC module 2 is installed are improved.

The attachment holes 11 are provided at any position of the protective clothing as needed, for example, the front surface of the jacket as shown in fig. 1, the back surface of the jacket as shown in fig. 2, the outer side surfaces of the long sleeves and the back surface of the jacket as shown in fig. 3, the front surface of the pants as shown in fig. 4, and the like.

The number of the mounting holes 11 is not limited to the illustration, and one or more holes may be provided on one surface of the garment body 1.

In order to reinforce the thickness of the mounting hole 11, a reinforcing ring (not shown) may be provided at the mounting hole 11, thereby increasing the connection strength between the mounting hole 11 and the TEC module 2, which is particularly suitable for a case where the thickness of one side of the garment body 1 is relatively thin.

The TEC module 2 is detachably mounted on the mounting hole 11, so that the TEC module 2 is convenient to replace and maintain, and the garment body 1 is convenient to clean.

The TEC module 2 includes a housing 20, a first substrate 21a, a second substrate 21b, a plurality of thermoelectric particles 22, a controller 23, and a power supply 24.

The case 20 has a cylindrical shape penetrating in the axial direction and has a first port 201 and a second port 202 opened at both ends in the axial direction, the case 20 is detachably attached to the mounting hole 11 with the first opening 111 of the mounting hole 11 adjacent to the first port 201, and the first substrate 21a, the second substrate 21b, the plurality of thermoelectric particles 22, the controller 23, and the power supply 24 are provided in the case 20.

For example, the housing 20 is screwed or snap-fitted to the mounting hole 11 of the garment body 1. In an alternative embodiment, when the mounting hole 11 is provided with a reinforcing ring, the housing 20 and the mounting hole 11 of the garment body 1 may be inserted in an interference fit manner.

For example, the outer shape of the housing 20 is a cylindrical shape, but may be a rectangular cylindrical shape. In an alternative embodiment, the housing 20 is in the form of a stepped cylinder. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the housing 20 has a first ring body 203, a second ring body 204, and a connecting wall 205, the first ring body 203 and the second ring body 204 having an outer diameter smaller than that of the second ring body 204 being connected together via the connecting wall 205 to form a cylindrical shape that is open at the first port 201 and the second port 202. The stepped cylinder is very suitable for the case that the size (i.e. radial size) ratio of the heat sink 27 to be described later is larger than the size (i.e. radial size) of the first base plate 21a and the second base plate 21b, and compared with the case that the housing 20 is a straight cylinder with the same diameter, the second ring body 204 of the stepped cylinder can be made to have a larger radial size and a smaller axial size when the heat sink 27 has the same volume, so that the heat sink 27 is formed into a flat and long shape, which is beneficial to reducing the axial size, and the size of the connecting wall 205 is correspondingly increased, so that the connecting wall 205 can be more effectively attached to the surface of the clothing body 1, and the stability of the TEC module 2 and the aesthetic property of the clothing body 1 on which the TEC module 2 is mounted are improved. As shown, the connecting wall 205 is perpendicular to the axis of the shell 20, i.e. the connecting wall 205 is in a radial plane, thus enhancing the contact area of the connecting wall 205 with the surface of the garment body 1. When the mounting hole 11 in the example of fig. 5 is not a stepped structure, the length of the first ring body 203 in the axial direction is not smaller than the distance between the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 of the mounting hole 11.

The material of the housing 20 is an insulating material, and further preferably a thermally conductive insulating material.

The first substrate 21a and the second substrate 21b are opposed to each other, the first substrate 21a is disposed near the first port 201, and the second substrate 21b is disposed near the second port 202 with respect to the first substrate 21 a. The first substrate 21a and the second substrate 21b are, for example, ceramic substrates to improve strength and heat dissipation.

The plurality of thermoelectric particles 22 are disposed between the first substrate 21a and the second substrate 21b and electrically connected to each other. The plurality of thermoelectric particles 22 may be electrically connected to each other using any known means. The plurality of thermoelectric particles 22 are connected in series with each other.

The controller 23 electrically connects the plurality of thermoelectric particles 22 and the power source 24. The controller 23 is configured to switch the direction of the current in the plurality of thermoelectric particles 22 electrically connected to each other so that the first substrate 21a is used as a cold end or a hot end and the second substrate 21b is used as a hot end or a cold end, respectively, and the first substrate 21a used as the cold end or the hot end performs temperature control adjustment on the human body directly through heat conduction. Compared with the case that the cold end and the hot end are fixed, the TEC module 2 can supply heat or refrigerate to the human body without changing the positions of the first substrate 21a and the second substrate 21b after being installed on the installation hole 11 of the clothing body 1 through the switching function of the controller 23.

In an example, the controller 23 is further configured to control the magnitude of the current in the plurality of thermoelectric particles 22 electrically connected to each other, so as to achieve precise and adaptive adjustment of the intensity of heating or cooling and improve the comfort of the human body. The switching of the controller 23 and the adjustment function of the current magnitude can be realized by a well-known circuit configuration.

In the example shown in fig. 5, the controller 23 includes a circuit board 231 and a switch 232. The circuit board 231 is electrically connected to the plurality of thermoelectric particles 22 and the power source 24 and the switch 232, and the switch 232 can turn on and off the TEC module 2 and switch the circuit inside the circuit board 231 to switch the direction of the current in the plurality of thermoelectric particles 22 electrically connected to each other. The circuit board 231 and the switch 232 may be separate components as shown or may be an integral integrated component. The circuit board 231 is, for example, a printed circuit board.

In the example shown in fig. 5, the controller 23 includes a wire 233, and the wire 233 electrically connects the circuit board 231 and the plurality of thermoelectric particles 22. In an alternative embodiment, a conductor sheet may be used to electrically connect the circuit board 231 and the plurality of thermoelectric particles 22.

Referring to fig. 5, in one example, the TEC module 2 further includes a thermal grease 25 and a thermal pad 26. The thermal grease 25 is disposed on the side of the first substrate 21a facing away from the thermoelectric particles 22 and fixedly connects the first substrate 21a and the thermal pad 26. The thermally conductive grease is, for example, thermally conductive silicone grease. The heat conducting plate 26 is located on the outer surface of the TEC module 2, and the outer surface of the heat conducting plate 26 facing away from the heat conducting grease 25 is exposed from the first port 201 of the housing 20, and the outer surface of the heat conducting plate 26 is used for temperature control adjustment of the human body directly through heat conduction.

Referring to fig. 5, in one example, the TEC module 2 further comprises a heat sink 27. The heat sink 27 is connected to the second substrate 21b and at least partially exposed to the second port 202 of the housing 20 for exposure to the environment. The heat sink 27 is, for example, a metal (e.g., aluminum) heat sink. The heat sink 27 may be provided with a plurality of fins to enhance heat dissipation. Compared with the active fan heat dissipation, the heat dissipation plate 27 reduces the circuit control design and has no noise.

Referring to fig. 5, the heat sink 27 is also fixedly attached to the inner wall of the housing 20. The heat sink 27 may be attached to the inner wall of the housing 20 by gluing. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the heat sink 27 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the second ring 204 of the housing 20.

In the example shown in fig. 5, the TEC module 2 further includes a fixing plate 28, the fixing plate 28 being connected to an inner wall of the housing 20 at the second port 202 of the housing 20; the switch 232 is mounted on the fixed plate 28 and is at least partially exposed to the environment; the circuit board 231 is fixed to the fixing plate 28.

To increase flexibility of use, in one embodiment, the power source 24 is a rechargeable battery, and the TEC module 2 includes a charging port 29, and the charging port 29 is disposed through the housing 20 and connected to the circuit board 231 to charge the rechargeable battery. Thereby facilitating the person to act outdoors and perform corresponding tasks (e.g. on duty, fishing, expedition, travel). In an alternative embodiment, the charging port 29 can be replaced by a power interface, and an external power source can continuously supply power to the thermoelectric particles 22 through the power interface, which is suitable for long-time human body temperature regulation, such as long-time outdoor post standing, epidemic prevention detection or infant and patient sleeping at night.

In conclusion, in the refrigeration and heating garment disclosed by the invention, the TEC module 2 is arranged on the garment body 1, and the TEC module 2 can refrigerate and heat, so that the temperature comfort of a human body is adjusted, and the resistance of the human body to a hot environment and a cold environment is improved.
