Description

NECK COOLING TUBE WITH TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The present invention relates to a cooling tube for use on a neck. More particularly, the present invention relates to a neck cooling tube capable of temperature control for cooling the heat generated by the body by wearing on a neck having a high temperature.

For example, when field workers, athletes, examinees, or the general public are indoors or outdoors in the hot summer months, a lot of heat can be generated from the body and harm the health.

Therefore, in order to cool the heat from the body, it can be solved by ingesting cold drinking water or ice cream or by entering the air-conditioned space.

However, if I consume cold drinking water or ice cream continuously to cool my body heat, it can cause headache or stomachache, and it is difficult to find the cooling space easily.

On the other hand, another way to cool the heat from the body on a high temperature day is to wipe the body part including the face with a towel moistened with water, so that you can feel coolness through the heat of vaporization.

In addition, it is possible to feel coolness by putting ice into a bag and making contact with the body.

However, this method has a drawback in that it is necessary to wet the towel repeatedly with water as the water evaporates, or to replenish the ice in the pocket or the like, which is troublesome and can not be utilized in an environment where water or ice can not be easily found .

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a tube storage bag 50 for holding a neck cooling tube 1 capable of temperature control according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tube storage bag 50 includes two neck cooling tubes 1 And a tube storage bag 50 configured to store the tube.

That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the neck cooling tube 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be stored in the tube storage bag 50 and carried. Therefore, for example, the neck cooling tube 1 in which one cooling medium is filled in at the time of work is worn on the neck, and the neck cooling tube 1 in which the remaining cooling medium is filled is stored in the tube storage bag 50, So that it can be stored in a portable manner.

The tube storage bag 50 includes first and second bodies 51 and 52 formed with first and second internal spaces 51a and 52a in which two neck cooling tubes 1 are accommodated, . The first and second bodies 51 and 52 are connected to each other through a hinge 53 so as to open and close the first and second internal spaces 51a and 52a.

The tube storage bag 50 is used to fasten the first and second bodies 51 and 52 and to fix the first and second bodies 51 and 52 when the first and second bodies 51 and 52 are fastened. And a fastening means for sealing the fastening portion 52a. The fastening means can be easily implemented, for example, by forming a zipper on the upper surface where the first and second bodies 51 and 52 meet.

The tube storage bag 50 can maintain the cooling temperature of the neck cooling tube 1 when the neck cooling tube 1 accommodated in the first and second internal spaces 51a and 52a is stored and carried The sheet 54 to which the heat insulating material is applied is bonded to the inner wall surrounding the first and second inner spaces 51a and 52a.

The seat 54 is formed by finishing the inner wall surrounding the first and second inner spaces 51a and 52a and at the same time keeping the temperature of the first and second inner spaces 51a and 52a .

More specifically, the sheet 54 is formed of one or a mixture of two or more of Paraffin, Aliphatic, Organic compound, and Mineral among phase change materials (PCM) (Thermoplastic rubber) such as silicone, latex, urethane or SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) resin or SEEPS resin, an acrylic resin, a silicone resin, a polyalkylene, a polyester and a polyurethane And is then applied to a resin to produce a sheet 54.

Here, the phase change material (PCM) refers to a latent heat agent, a heat storage material, a cold storage material, and a heat control material, and accumulates a large amount of heat energy or releases stored heat energy through a phase change process. Phase change is a kind of physical change in which a substance changes from one state to another, from solid to liquid, from liquid to solid, from liquid to gas, from gas to liquid.

In this phase change process, all materials change their physical arrangement, not chemical reactions such as chemical bonding or formation. For example, ice at 0 ° C undergoes a phase change process while it is dissolved in liquid water. At this time, ice absorbs a large amount of heat energy from the surroundings and the ambient temperature is lowered. On the other hand, in sub-zero weather, fish can live in ice-covered water because the water freezes and releases a large amount of stored heat energy.

The reason why ice is much more effective than using 0 ° C water to cool any beverage is because ice absorbs a lot of heat while it melts and water is sprayed in the yard to cool the ambient temperature in the summer Is evaporated and absorbs much of the surrounding heat and evaporates. This is because the water in the liquid state undergoes a phase change process with gaseous vapor and absorbs a large amount of heat from the surroundings and evaporates.

As the gaseous vapor changes back to liquid water, the water retains the properties of the water without any chemical transformation during the phase change process, only the physical arrangement of the molecules changes. Since the phase change is not a chemical change but a physical change, it is chemically stable and can be used semi-permanently. Through the phase change material having such a principle, a constant temperature can be maintained by the principle of heat absorption or heat generation at the phase change.

Therefore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a sheet 54 having a heat insulating material applied thereto is adhered to the inner wall surrounding the first and second inner spaces 51a and 52a, in which the two neck cooling tubes 1 are accommodated, The neck cooling tube 1 can be easily carried and stored by providing the tube storage bag 50 together with the two neck cooling tubes 1 as a set, The cooling state of the cooling medium can be easily maintained.
