The cup holder 100 includes a body 110, a heat supply unit 120, temperature sensors 132 and 134, and a heat exchanger 140. The heat exchanger 140 includes a body 110,

The body portion 110 is provided with a receiving portion 105 in which a beverage container such as a water bottle or a cup is received. The heat radiating part 120 serves to cool / warm the beverage container provided in the receiving part 105, and a thermoelectric device is preferably applied.

As shown in the drawing, the heat radiating part 120 is installed on one side of the body part 110.

The temperature sensors 132 and 134 are installed at a plurality of positions so that the temperature of the beverage container accommodated in the accommodating portion 105 or the accommodating portion 105 can be measured. A more detailed description thereof will be described later.

The body part 110 includes an inner body part 112 constituting the receiving part 105 and an outer body part 112 arranged to form a space part 118 separated from the inner body part 112, (114). Preferably, the spacing space 118 is formed to be hermetically sealed from the outside, so that the air in the spacing space 118 is not easily changed.

An air inlet 119 communicating with the inner body part 112 and the spacing space part 118 is formed and the air is introduced between the inner body part 112 and the outer body part 114, And a fan 140 for circulating the air.

The heat generated by the heat supply part 120 is transferred to the inner body part 112 through the air inlet part 119 and the air inside the space part 118 in a convection manner by the fan 140, (See Fig.

At this time, a first temperature sensor 132 for measuring the temperature of the air convection in the spaced space 118 around the air inlet 119 is further provided. The first temperature sensor 132 is coupled to the body 110 by an adhesive member 138.

The adhesive member 138 may be made of a silicone material or the like, which is resistant to heat and easy to maintain in an adhered state, or may be made of aluminum or an iron material that is easy to transfer heat.

In addition, a second temperature sensor 134 may be further provided to measure the temperature that is conducted along the body 110. The second temperature sensor 134 also maintains the state of being coupled to the body 110 using the adhesive member 138 described above.

A heat exchanger (150) is installed at one side of the body (110) and transfers a part of heat generated from the heat radiator (120) to the outside.

4 is a view illustrating a temperature measuring module installed under a cup holder capable of temperature control according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, the body 110 includes a temperature measurement module 160 for measuring the temperature of the beverage container housed inside the body 110.

The temperature measurement module includes a movement guide 162 provided below the inner body part 112 and an elastic member 164 for elastically moving the movement guide 162 from below the inner body part 112. [ A temperature sensor 166 disposed above the movement guide 162, and a cover 168 provided on the movement guide 162. [

Meanwhile, a separate control unit (not shown) may be provided to be electrically connected to the heat supply unit 120 and the fan 140. Accordingly, when the temperature is preset and the temperature is within a predetermined error range and is sensed through the temperature sensor 166, the controller controls the operation of the heat supply unit 120 and the fan 140 So that the temperature can be maintained within a predetermined temperature range.

It goes without saying that the control unit may be electrically connected to the first temperature sensor 132 and the second temperature sensor 134 as well.

Meanwhile, a third temperature sensor 136 for measuring the temperature of the inner body portion 112 is provided. The third temperature sensor 136 is located at a position spaced apart from the heat supply part 120 and the air inflow part 119. Here, the third temperature sensor 136 may minimize the temperature of the internal body 112 itself due to the conduction or the convection while minimizing the direct influence of the heat from the heat supply part 120 and the air inflow part 119, And serves to measure the resultant temperature.

In addition, a thermoelectric element applied to the thermal cavity 120 is formed with a use surface and a non-use surface, and the heat exchange flap 180 is attached to the use surface and the non-use surface, respectively. That is, although only the heat exchange piece 180 is shown on the unused surface in FIGS. 1 and 3, the heat exchange piece may be attached to the use surface. The heat exchanger (150) is installed at one side of the body (110) to discharge heat to the outside on the side of the heat exchanger attached to the unused surface.

The operation of the cup holder capable of adjusting the temperature according to the present invention is as follows.

First, the beverage container is received in the receiving portion 105 inside the body portion 110.

The fan unit 140 is operated while operating the heat supply unit 120 so that the heat is moved along the body unit 110 by the conduction method and the space portion 118 ) To move the heat.

In this case, after the temperature is set in advance, the heat supply unit 120 and the fan 140 are operated using the control unit until the second temperature sensor 134 and the first temperature sensor 132 reach a preset temperature Of course.

In addition, according to the present invention, even when various beverage containers, that is, different types of beverage containers having different floor heights are accommodated by different outer shapes inside the accommodating portion 105, The movement guide 162 upper temperature sensor 166 directly contacts the beverage container and the temperature can be measured.

Accordingly, the temperature of the inside of the body 110 and the temperature of the beverage container itself are precisely measured along with the temperature of the actual body part 110 itself, so that more accurate temperature control is possible, Temperature control becomes possible.

As described above, according to the present invention, heat can be transferred to the inside of the accommodating portion 105 through the conduction and the convection. Accordingly, the effect of heat transfer to the beverage container can be maximized.

The second temperature sensor 134 and the second temperature sensor 134 may be connected to the first and second temperature sensors 134 and 135. The second temperature sensor 134 and the second temperature sensor 134 may be connected to each other. 1 temperature sensor 132 is applied, accurate temperature control becomes possible.

Further, according to the present invention, the temperature of the beverage container can be measured while being in direct contact with the beverage container while allowing various beverage containers to be accommodated.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It is obvious to them. Therefore, the above-described embodiments are to be considered as illustrative rather than restrictive, and the present invention is not limited to the above description, but may be modified within the scope of the appended claims and equivalents thereof.
