TH22317Y - Cooling device for animal legs. - Google Patents

Abstract

The animal leg cooling device consists of the following components: leg wraps, straps, strap slots, a cooling unit, a heat sink, a thermoelectric plate, an aluminum plate, a temperature control device, a cooling fan, thermal insulation, a temperature sensor, a control device, and a timer. This device cools the lower legs of horses, effectively reducing heat in the extremities with controlled temperature and duration. It is also portable for outdoor use.

Claims (1)

1. Cooling device for animal legs. It consists of the following components: leg wrap (1), straps (2), slots (3), cooling unit (4), heat sink (5), thermoelectric plate (6), aluminum plate (7), thermal insulation (10). The leg wrap (1) is made of the same fabric material used for human arm braces. On the sides of the leg wrap (1) are fitted several straps (2) to adjust it to fit the size of the horse's leg as needed. On the other side of the leg wrap (1) are slots (3) to accommodate the insertion of straps (2), the number of which is proportional to the number of straps (2). The top of the leg wrap (1) is attached to the cooling unit (4), and the bottom of the leg wrap (1) is attached to the thermal insulation (10), which acts as a heat shield and helps maintain the temperature at the desired level. The cooling unit (4) consists of a thermoelectric plate (6) whose hot side is attached to a heat sink (5), which acts as a heat shield, and whose cold side is attached to an aluminum plate (7), which acts as a coolant to the cooling gel plate. And the next leg wrap, which has a unique feature, is that one side of the heat sink (5) is connected to a cooling fan (9), and the other side of the heat sink (5) is connected to a temperature control device (8), which adjusts the temperature by controlling the voltage level received from the power source to the thermoelectric plate (6) and the cooling fan (9), working in conjunction with a temperature sensor (11) attached to the other side of the aluminum plate (7). If the temperature of the aluminum plate (7) is higher or lower than the user-set level, the temperature sensor (11) sends information to the temperature control device (8), and the temperature control device (8) then adjusts the current supply to the thermoelectric plate (6) and the cooling fan (9). On top of the leg wrap (1), a control device (12) is installed, allowing the caregiver to adjust the temperature level and duration as needed. The control device (12) consists of a timer to time the operation of the leg cooling device, and when the set time is reached, it sends an alert signal to the caregiver, and a display screen to show the operating temperature, which receives data from the temperature sensor (11).
