The electric mattress is composed of a heating element (heat wire; heating wire + temperature sensing wire) and a temperature adjuster (thyristor (SCR or TRIAC)). The electric mattress composed of these two components has electric wire or coil So that the heat is generated.

However, the above electric plate has a problem that it is overheated due to long time use in the state where the hot wire is pressed by the external pressure or the temperature is excessively increased, or the fire frequently occurs due to the short circuit. There is a problem that comes out.

In addition, there is a problem that the human body or peripheral electronic devices are adversely affected due to the electromagnetic wave emitted from the heating element (heating wire; heating wire + temperature sensing wire).

As described above, the present invention can be applied to a cooling / heating device (100) for controlling the temperature of the cooling / heating part (10) by circulating a fluid which is lowered or increased in temperature by the cooling / The fluid stored in the fluid storage part 110 is circulated through the circulation path 11 of the cooling / heating part 10 and the return path 11 'and the return path 11' A cold / heat generating unit 130 for generating cold or warm air by selecting a cooling / heating mode of the controller 170, a forced air circulating unit 120 for controlling the air / A cool / heat transfer unit 140 for transferring cold or warm air to the fluid flowing to the inflow path 11 'to lower or raise the temperature of the cool / heat transfer unit 110; A cold / heat radiating part 150 for radiating cool air or warm air to the outside of the cold / hot radiator 150, A cold / heat absorber 160 provided on the other side of the regeneration path 11 " for absorbing cold or heat of the fluid moving in the regeneration path 11 " The power supply unit 180 switches the polarity of the power supplied to the cooling / heating unit 130 to select the cooling / heating mode, adjusts the level of the power to control the temperature, And a controller 170 for controlling the circulation operation of the heat exchanger 120.

5, when the cooling mode and the temperature are set through the respective switches of the controller 170, the microcomputer of the controller 170 operates the forced circulation unit 120 to supply the fluid Circulates the fluid stored in the storage unit 110 to the circulation path 11 and the return path 11 "of the inlet path 11 'and the cooling / heating unit 10.

At the same time, the microcomputer of the controller 170 supplies power (+, -) to the cold / heat generating unit 130 and supplies power to one side of the cold / heat generating unit 130, The cool air conducted to the part of the laminated block body 141 of the cold / heat conductive part 140 is conducted to the inflow path 11 ', and the temperature of the inflow path 11' And lowers the flowing fluid. As the low-temperature fluid flows into the circulation path 11 of the cooling / heating unit 10, the temperature of the cooling / heating unit 10 is lowered so that cooling is performed.

At this time, the temperature of the other side of the cold / heat generating part 130, that is, the direction of the cold / heat emitting part 150 is raised by the Peltier effect, And the remaining heat in the process of being discharged as described above is conducted to the portion of the laminated block body 3 (161) of the cold / heat absorbing part 160 and then conducted to the return path 11 " The heat radiation efficiency is maximized through absorption or heat exchange with the fluid flowing to the laminated block body 3 (161) and the return path 11 ", and the laminated block body 4 (162) Thereby preventing transmission.

6, when the heating mode and the temperature are set through the respective switches of the controller 170, the microcomputer of the controller 170 operates the forced circulation unit 120, Circulates the fluid stored in the storage unit 110 to the circulation path 11 and the return path 11 "of the inlet path 11 'and the cooling / heating unit 10.

At the same time, the microcomputer of the control unit 170 supplies power (-, +) to the cold / heat generating unit 130 and supplies the power to the cold / heat generating unit 130, The temperature of the directional part is increased and thus the warm air conducted to the part of the laminated block body 141 of the cold / heat conductive part 140 is conducted to the inflow path 11 ' Thereby increasing the temperature of the flowing fluid. The heated fluid as described above flows into the circulation path (11) of the cooling / heating section (10), so that the temperature of the cooling / heating section (10) is raised to perform heating.

At this time, the temperature of the other side of the cold / heat generating part 130, that is, the direction of the cold / heat emitting part 150 is lowered by the Peltier effect, The cold air remaining in the process of being discharged as described above is conducted to the portion of the laminated block body 3 (161) of the cold / heat absorber 160 and is then conducted to the return path 11 ' The cooling efficiency is maximized through absorption or heat exchange with the fluid flowing to the laminated block body 3 (161) and the return path 11 ", and the laminated block body 2 (162) made of a heat insulating material can transmit cold air to the outside .

The temperature of a conductor or a semiconductor is determined mainly by the energy of free electrons (red electrons). If the average energy (average kinetic energy) of free electrons is high, the temperature And the average energy is low, the temperature is low. Of course, the atomic nucleus also contributes much less to the temperature of the solid, because the amount of vibration that varies with temperature varies, but is much less than the change in motion of free electrons.

The Peltier effect is a phenomenon that occurs because the free electrons change their temperature by energy. To explain heat generation and endotherm by current, electrons rise from low energy to high energy, and electrons move from high energy to low energy. It goes down. At this time, an endothermic reaction and an exothermic reaction occur by the energy difference going up and down.

For example, if electrons flow into metals, at the junction of metal A and metal B, the free electrons in metal A rise into the free electrons of metal B. At the junction of the metal B and the metal A, the free electrons in the metal B are injected into the free electrons of the metal A.

At this time, the endothermic reaction and the exothermic reaction occur because the speed of the electrons is different from each other even in one metal having the same temperature. There are very fast free electrons, and very slow free electrons. The temperature is related to the average of the velocities of all these free electrons. As the temperature rises, the average speed of free electrons gradually increases, and as the temperature decreases, the speed of free electrons slows down.

Free electrons in metal A in the direction of current flow are attracted by the electric field and move to the opposite side. However, from the standpoint of free electrons in metal A, metal B is thought to be a cliff. All the free electrons of metal A moving along the electric field will move toward the free electrons in metal B having high energies but if the free electrons intended to move to metal B are too slow they will not climb the cliff, Passes through the free electrons of the metal B. Then the slow free electrons will not be able to leave Metal A.

After all, the free electrons moving from the left metal A to the metal B are likely to be fast, in other words, electrons with a lot of energy. Then, free electrons in metal A are left with only a small amount of energy, and the average energy of free electrons is lowered. That is, the temperature is lowered.

Here, the free electrons moving in the metal B will also try to move into the free electrons of the right metal A regardless of their own energy along the electric field. At this time, the free electrons go down the cliff, so they are directed into the free electrons of the metal A. At this time, the free electrons of the metal B have an average energy more than the free electrons of the metal A, so that the average energy of the metal A gradually increases. That is, the temperature rises.

At this time, the temperature change of both metals where the endothermic reaction and the exothermic reaction occur is kept as the total amount of heat is kept constant so that the law of energy conservation is kept. As the temperature difference becomes larger, free electrons become more difficult to climb on the left junction The electric resistance increases and the current gradually decreases, so that the cooling and heating phenomena are reduced.

In summary, the present invention as described above is directed to a cooling / heat transfer unit provided with a fluid circulating unit for circulating fluid stored in a fluid storage unit through a forced circulation unit to a cold / heat transfer unit provided at one side of the cold / heat generating unit, Thereby preventing the electromagnetic wave that adversely affects the human body or peripheral electronic devices from being released from the cooling / heating part.

Further, according to the present invention, the temperature of the cooling / heating unit, which is cooled or heated, is lowered by increasing the temperature of the cooling air discharged by inducing the fluid to the cooling / heat absorbing unit provided on one side of the cooling / Minimizes the effects on the temperature (e.g., room temperature) and thereby prevents cooling or heating efficiency from degrading.
