Description

Washable cold vest

The present invention relates to a washable cold wind vest, and more particularly, a fan providing cold air is detachably coupled to the inner skin of the vest, so that the cold wind vest can be hygienically managed for a long time as it has a washable structure. Of course, it relates to a washable cold wind vest that can set whether to install a fan according to the wearer's choice, so that cold air is provided only when necessary.

In general, in various industrial fields, such as machinery, steelmaking, shipbuilding, etc., the case of performing work in a high-temperature environment frequently occurs. Working for a long time in a high-temperature environment not only reduces work efficiency due to poor temperature control, but also causes heat syncope, heat fatigue, heat cramps, dehydration, heat stroke, sweat bands, and skin disorders. Therefore, cooling clothing was developed to maintain a constant core temperature in a high-temperature environment.

As an example, in Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0396190 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art Document 1), a rechargeable battery including a cooling fan for generating cold air when power is applied, and a portable battery pack for supplying power to the cold air fan A cold wind vest using a pack has been published.

However, in the prior art document 1 described above, the cold wind vest using a rechargeable battery pack requires additionally a space for accommodating a portable battery pack in addition to a space for installing a fan for cold wind. In addition, in the case of a portable battery pack, the capacity is small, so that cold air cannot be effectively generated, and there is a concern of safety accidents such as electric shock and ignition.

In addition, since the cooling fan is integrally formed with the vest, it is difficult to wash with a general washing method, so when used for work in an industrial field, there is a problem in that it cannot but be used in a very unsanitary state due to various industrial contaminants.

In addition, the Republic of Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0389555 (hereinafter referred to as Prior Art Document 2) has an inner skin and an outer skin, and in a cooling vest that emits cold air by installing a refrigerant pack on the inner skin, one end of the inner skin an abdominal band detachably coupled to the unit; An opening/closing unit for withdrawing the refrigerant pack is included at one end, and a plurality of refrigerant bags detachable from the endothelium and the bellyband are provided. A cooling vest has been published.

However, according to the aforementioned prior art document 2, since the refrigerant pack must be periodically frozen, it is inconvenient to use. In addition, since cold air is concentrated only on the portion in contact with the refrigerant pack, cooling efficiency is reduced, and there is a risk of frostbite when in direct contact with the refrigerant pack.

In addition, since the refrigerant pack is damaged during washing of the cooling vest and does not perform the function of dissipating cold air at all, it is difficult to wash by a general washing method, and thus there is a problem similar to the prior art document 1 described above.

Republic of Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20-0396190 Republic of Korea Registered Utility Model No. 20-0389555
