Description

Smart cold and hot holder {SMART COOLING AND HEATING HOLDER}

The present invention relates to a smart hot and cold holder, and more particularly, to a smart hot and cold holder that can preserve the temperature state of beverages in various beverage containers for a long time and can be used without restrictions in places by supplying power through a battery.

As is well known, alcoholic beverages such as soju or beer, carbonated drinks, and water have a freshness and refreshing feeling when consumed in a refrigerated state, and their taste is also improved.

Therefore, it is usually stored in the refrigerator, but when necessary, a sufficiently refrigerated beverage is taken out and eaten. At this time, there is no problem if you can drink it all at once. As the temperature of the beverage rises, the coolness and refreshing feeling are reduced, and the taste is inevitably reduced.

In particular, in various business places such as cafes and liquor stores, it is necessary to keep the drink in the bottle or container cool and refreshing for a long time when customers drink drinks or alcoholic beverages.

On the other hand, recently, a number of technologies related to a cup holder for a vehicle having both a cold and hot function have been proposed. The hot/cold cup holder for a vehicle is a device that uses a Peltier semiconductor called a thermoelectric element to keep cans and bottled beverages warm or cool in a vehicle. However, since the hot/cold cup holder for a vehicle is used by connecting the cigar jack power cable in the vehicle, it is inconvenient that it can only be used in a predetermined position.

Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-0370501 (2004.12.06.) relates to a cup holder for both cold and hot use for vehicles using a thermoelectric element. A thermoelectric element that is installed on the bottom of the bottom of the seating groove and generates heat and heat absorption by the power supplied, and a cigar jack inserted into a cigar jack receptacle of a vehicle to supply power to the thermoelectric element. It occupies less space inside the vehicle and the contents of the cup can be cooled or heated to the desired temperature while driving with the power supplied from the vehicle, making it very convenient to use, and it does not cause noise, vibration or pollution by using a thermoelectric element. It is characterized by being eco-friendly.

Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-0363562 (2004.09.21.) relates to a holder for hot and cold beverage containers for automobiles, a holder body having a metal port cooled or heated by a thermoelectric semiconductor, and the holder body being horizontal It consists of a housing that has a moving storage space and an opening and is mounted on the console of a car, and can rapidly cool or rapidly heat the beverage container inserted into the port by moving the holder body horizontally from the housing only when the port is used. characterized.
