Abstract

Body temperature control arrangement comprising an air distributor, a heating module (3a) and/or a cooling module (3b), characterized in that it is intended to supply hot or cool air to the human body.

Description

The invention relates to a body temperature control arrangement and is applicable to warming or cooling the human body in daily life.
A preferred area of application of the invention is the combination of the body temperature control arrangement with textiles.

People who spend a lot of time outdoors (construction workers, military personnel, sailors, guards, hunters, anglers, etc.) often need, in addition to appropriate clothing, additional warmth or, depending on the weather, cooling. There are e.g. B. Clothing with power sources and sewn-in heating cables, or with sewn-in heat/coolant pipes, although these are often overly expensive, prone to failure and impractical.

The DE 10 2018 001 319 B4 describes an active cooling suit with a blower, a hose system and a zone to be cooled, whereby the blower is a performance-optimized radial blower, the hose system branches and cross sections of the hose system decrease with increasing degree of branching and the zone to be cooled is delimited by a flexible frame element.

From the EP 1 966 035 B1 a method for warming a motorcyclist is known, in which heat is transferred from the atmosphere to a thermally or heat-conducting element arranged on a motorcycle using the Peltier effect. Working fluid circulates in a closed circuit from the heat-conducting element through a garment worn by the motorcyclist into it via an inlet coupling or connection and out of it and then back to the heat-conducting element, both of which Both the inlet clutch and the outlet clutch are separable to allow the motorcyclist to dismount the motorcycle while still wearing the garment.

The invention is based on the object of creating a body temperature control arrangement which is simple and inexpensive to produce and can be used easily and conveniently.

This problem is solved by the features in claim 1. Appropriate embodiments of the invention are contained in the subclaims.

A particular advantage of the invention is the simple structural design of the body temperature control arrangement according to the invention, comprising an air distributor, a heating module and / or a cooling module for supplying the hot or cool air to the human body, the air distributor being designed in the form of an elastic hose with air outlet openings and is designed to be hung over the human body.

The hose is made of an airtight material in the shape of a tube with air outlet openings.

An additional advantage of the invention is the easy handling of the body temperature control arrangement according to the invention, which is designed to feed correspondingly hot or cool air into the air distributor. The heating module and/or the cooling module is designed to be coupled to the air distributor.

Further advantages of the body temperature control arrangement according to the invention are that the heating module is either electrically or fuel-operated or as a heat pump and the cooling module is either electrical or based on a cooling battery or as a cooling pump.

• 2 eine Detaildarstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Körpertemperierungsanordnung.

The invention will be explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments shown at least partially in the figures. Show it:

• 1 a schematic representation of the body temperature control arrangement according to the invention in the state applied to the human body
• 2 a detailed representation of the body temperature control arrangement according to the invention.

1 shows the body temperature control arrangement according to the invention in the state applied to the human body, namely the air distributor designed as a hose 1 with air outlet openings 2 with a head opening 4 pulled over the head of a person and at least partially covering the person's chest and back.
A heating module 3a and/or a cooling module 3b is coupled to the air distributor in order to feed correspondingly hot or cool air into the air distributor.

The heating module 3a is either electrically or fuel-operated or designed as a heat pump. The cooling module 3b is either electrical or based on a cooling battery or as a cooling pump.

2 shows a detailed representation of the body temperature control arrangement according to the invention. The air distributor designed as a hose 1 has air outlet openings 2 and a head opening 4. The elasticity and shape of the tube 1, which is made of a soft, flexible and airtight material, is designed so that a person can, for example, put it under their outer clothing so that it at least partially covers the person's chest and back. The air then spreads further around the body under the outer clothing.

The invention is not limited to the embodiment variants shown. Rather, it is possible to realize further embodiment variants by combining and varying the means and features shown without departing from the scope of the invention.
