Cool Mat for Pets

The present invention relates to a cool mat for pets manufactured by blow molding that is lightweight yet effective in preventing damage or corrosion and prevents cold air circulation as well as water stagnation due to condensation.

Recently, there has been a shift toward a culture where companion animals such as dogs and cats live indoors with humans. While companion animals live indoors, their immunity to the environment drops sharply compared to animals exposed to nature, and when the temperature exceeds the appropriate temperature, there is a risk of weight loss and hypersensitivity due to the stress generated.

Pets have a particularly difficult time controlling their body temperature, which is why they suffer from high temperatures, especially in the summer. Recently, pet mats equipped with various cooling methods have been provided.

For example, conventional cool mats include standardized mats made of wood, metal, plastic, and stone, as well as fabric materials filled with cushioning material on the inside, cooling gels contained inside from the outside, or balloons that introduce cold air. There are mats that can be inflated and used like this.

However, in terms of material, the conventional cool mat has the problem that wood is vulnerable to damage and humidity and can be easily deformed, metal is heavy and there is a risk of corrosion due to peeling of welded or painted parts, and plastic or stone materials have the problem of being easily deformed. There is a problem with a high risk of damage due to external shock.

In addition, the durability of the fabric is weak, and even if a cooling material is used as the fabric, there is a problem that the effect is insufficient.

Additionally, in the case of materials with a built-in coolant, if the body is damaged due to an external impact, the cooling gel may leak out, the cooling effect may decrease depending on the material, and there is a large difference in the duration of the cold air.

In addition, the conventional cool mat has a structure with an open bottom in terms of structure, so water accumulation may occur due to condensation during cooling, and there is no separate ice pack storage part for cooling, which causes inconvenience in movement. And, there is a problem that the duration of the cold air is short.

Hereinafter, the cool mat for pets according to the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as 'cool mat') will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

First, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the cool mat 1 according to the present invention largely consists of a seating member 100 and a body 200 into which the seating member 100 is inserted to have a separate and sealed structure. Includes.

In more detail, the seating member 100 is inserted to be separable from the body 200, which will be described later, and allows the pet to rest by the cold air circulating in the space 210 through the refrigerant 10. It is structured to provide space.

For this purpose, the seating member 100 has a plate shape corresponding to the shape of the second insertion groove 223 so as to have a sealed structure when inserted into the second insertion groove 223, and is a porcelain tile made of clay as the main material. can be used.

These porcelain tiles are made by molding clay at high heat and pressure, so they have high strength and density, so they are good at waterproofing, and are effective in preventing damage due to high durability from external shocks. They are resistant to washing, scratches, and discoloration, and are superior to natural marble. It has the advantage of being lightweight and easy to store or move.

In addition, the body 200 has the above-mentioned seating member 100 removably inserted therein, and the cold air generated through the contained refrigerant 10 is uniformly distributed inside the body 200 to the seating member 100. It is designed to ensure that the cold air lasts for a long time.

For this purpose, a plurality of insertion grooves 220 are formed in the form of steps in the upper part of the body 200 for inserting the seating member 100 as well as receiving the refrigerant 10. The gist of the present invention will be clearly explained below. The place where the seating member 100 is inserted for delivery will be referred to as the second insertion groove 223, and the place where the refrigerant 10 is received will be referred to as the first insertion groove 221.

As shown, the second insertion groove 223 is inserted so that the upper surface of the seating member 100 does not protrude into the upper part of the body 200, and is formed in a shape corresponding to the seating member 100, so that it can be separated and separated by shape fitting. It has a structure that can be inserted so that it can be sealed, and after insertion, the first insertion groove 221 also satisfies the sealed structure through the lower surface of the seating member 100, preventing the cold air of the refrigerant 10 from being lost to the outside. to be able to block it.

To this end, the first insertion groove 221 accommodating the refrigerant 10 may be formed to have a predetermined depth and area downward from the bottom of the second insertion groove 223.

A space 210 is formed inside the body 200 so that the cold air of the refrigerant 10 contained in the first insertion groove 221 can be uniformly distributed throughout the body 200. Allow it to form naturally during the molding process.

To this end, the body 200 is made of polyethylene (PE) plastic by blow molding so that the space 210 is formed therein.

That is, the body 200 is molded by blowing the polyethylene resin injected into the mold (not shown) as if blowing a balloon to form a space 210 with a naturally sealed structure inside the body 200. to allow it to be formed.

On the other hand, such blow molding may cause deformation of the body 200 itself due to different shrinkage rates in each area as the resin is inflated to different thicknesses. In order to compensate for this, in the present invention, the upper plate 213 and the lower plate are formed within the space 210. Additional pillar-shaped ribs 211 connecting 215 are added to prevent deformation, and at the same time, the formation of the ribs 211 maximizes durability against external shocks.

In addition, the body 200 in the present invention allows a parting line to be formed at each upper edge as shown during molding, and each lower edge has a chamfer 230 in the shape of a curved surface or surface. It is formed so that the seating member 100 can be sealed and inserted into the second insertion groove 223 and at the same time prevent damage to the lower edge of the body 200. That is, the present invention is designed to be integrated so that the parting line and the wind hole 219 are positioned in opposite directions and spaced apart from each other so that a chamfer is formed on the line where the wind hole 219 is located, thereby eliminating the shortcomings of the blow molded product. It can be supplemented.

In addition, handles 217 having a symmetrical structure may be formed on the upper and lower parts of the body 200, respectively. In order to clearly understand the gist of the present invention, the first handle (217) formed on the upper part of the body 200 is ( It is referred to as 217a), and the place formed at the bottom is referred to as the second handle 217b.

Here, the first handle 217a is used to insert or separate the seating member 100 from the second insertion groove 223, and the second handle 217b is used to connect the body 200 with the seating member 100. ) Or, it is used to move the body 200 in which the seating member 100 is omitted.

For this purpose, the first handle 217a and the second handle 217b may be formed and used in positions that do not face each other in the vertical direction.

According to the configuration and structural features of the present invention described above, one or more refrigerants 10, such as ice packs, are accommodated in the first insertion groove 221, and then the seating member 100 is inserted into the second insertion groove 223. When a sealed structure is formed, the cold air of the refrigerant 10 is transmitted to the space 210 through the upper plate 213 constituting the body 200 without being lost to the outside.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the cold air spreads uniformly throughout the space 210, and through this process, the seating member ( 100) Cold air is easily delivered to various points (P1 to P3).
