Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cooling device for cooling a skin area.
  • Cooling pads are known from the prior art, which are usually placed in a refrigerator or freezer in preparation for use, in order then to be placed on a person's skin in the cooled state. Such cooling of a skin area can be pleasant at high ambient temperatures for reasons of comfort. In many cases, however, cooling devices of the generic type are also used for medical reasons, for example to relieve swelling or burns, including sunburn.
  • the known cooling pads have the disadvantage that they heat up comparatively quickly and then have to be exchanged for new cooling pads.
  • additional cooling pads or a refrigerator for cooling the cooling pads again are not always available.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a cooling device which is also suitable for the permanent cooling of a skin area.
  • a cooling device for cooling a skin area is proposed.
  • a cooling device according to the invention is placed on a skin area of a wearer like a cooling pad mentioned at the outset and, if necessary, is fastened here by means of a fastening strap, for example, which is elastic and/or is provided with a Velcro fastener.
  • the cooling device has a liquid-filled flat liquid reservoir, which has a flexible outer wall that represents a contact surface for contact with the skin.
  • the cooling device has at least one electrical cooling element, which is provided on a cooling wall of the liquid reservoir facing away from the contact surface. The liquid in the liquid reservoir is cooled as required by means of this electrical cooling device.
  • the combination of a liquid reservoir and at least one electric cooling element enables a permanent cooling of a skin area as long as the cooling element with electric energy is supplied.
  • the direct cooling effect is caused by the liquid reservoir and the cool liquid contained therein.
  • This liquid is cooled by the at least one cooling element from the side opposite the skin, with the cooling elements not having to be in continuous operation but being activated or deactivated or regulated depending on the heat to be dissipated.
  • the cooling element preferably comprises a Peltier element, which converts electrical current into a temperature difference on opposite sides of the Peltier element.
  • the cooling element preferably has a heat sink with a rib structure. Furthermore, it is preferred if the cooling element has a fan that supplies cooling air and/or removes warm air.
  • the liquid reservoir is preferably designed in the form of a flat bag made of plastic, the opposite walls of which form the cooling wall and the outer wall with the contact surface.
  • the bag is formed from PVC.
  • the average thickness of the bag, ie the distance between the cooling wall and the outer wall, is preferably between 5 mm and 15 mm.
  • the walls mentioned can be tightly connected to one another all around. A closable connection for filling and removing the liquid can be provided.
  • the liquid reservoir is particularly preferably filled with fresh water or salt water.
  • additives are included to help preserve the fluid and/or as antifreeze.
  • the use of a fluid reservoir that is flexible in terms of shape means that the cooling device can lie flat against the skin. At the same time, the liquid reservoir ensures that the contact surface in contact with the skin has a largely identical temperature everywhere. Local warming is compensated by the liquid.
  • the electrical cooling element has a cooling surface facing the liquid, which is cooled by the cooling element and which accordingly absorbs heat from the liquid reservoir.
  • This cooling surface can lie completely against the cooling wall of the liquid reservoir, with the cooling wall being able to be locally thinner in the region of the cooling surface for improved heat transfer.
  • the cooling wall is provided with at least one opening in the area of the at least one cooling element. As a result, the liquid in the liquid reservoir can lie directly against the cooling surface of the cooling element. This achieves an even better cooling performance.
  • the cooling element can be connected to the cooling wall by gluing.
  • the cooling wall can alternatively or additionally be made for the cooling wall to have a holding structure, by means of which an outer edge of the cooling element is bordered.
  • This holding structure can in particular be designed in one piece with the cooling wall and can be formed in particular by overmoulding the cooling element during production of the cooling wall.
  • the cooling wall and the encapsulation of the cooling element can be made of plastic, in particular an elastomer.
  • the holding structure can also be applied separately, for example by means of adhesive surrounding the edge of the cooling element or by means of resin or, for example, polyurethane surrounding the edge.
  • each liquid chamber is preferably assigned at least one cooling element, which is attached to the cooling wall in the area of the liquid chamber.
  • the cooling elements only cover part of the cooling wall.
  • This spacer structure which preferably consists of a knitted textile fabric that forms a three-dimensional structure, has at least one depression or opening in the area of the at least one cooling element for receiving the cooling element.
  • the thickness of the spacer structure is preferably between 15 mm and 40 mm.
  • said heat sink and/or the fan can be arranged in the depression or opening.
  • An alternative material for the spacer structure is a low density, porous material.
  • the spacer structure protects the at least one cooling element.
  • the spacer structure can also be covered with an air-permeable textile fabric on the side opposite the contact surface.
  • the spacer structure preferably has as high an air permeability as possible, so that heat can be dissipated quickly from the cooling element. Even if the spacer structure has openings for the cooling element, the cooling capacity is further improved by a very air-permeable design of the spacer structure.
  • a hose that can be designed in particular as a metal braided hose is considered to be a particularly advantageous waste heat conductor.
  • Such a braided hose allows air to be exchanged between a hose interior and an environment through the hose wall.
  • the waste heat conductor preferably consists at least partly of copper or a copper alloy.
  • a flexible common waste heat conductor can also be expedient in particular because when using several cooling elements, these are preferably limitedly movable relative to one another, since they are attached to different points of the flexible cooling wall of the liquid reservoir.
  • a design is advantageous in which the hose forms a closed hose ring, with a fan preferably being provided which sucks in or sucks off the air in the hose.
  • the fan can thus allow the air to flow past the cooling elements in a circumferential manner, with air exchange to the outside also being possible through openings in the hose wall.
  • the at least one cooling element is operated electrically.

  • the cooling device preferably has a power connection for connecting an external energy source to supply the cooling element and/or to charge the battery, in particular a USB connection. If the cooling device is supplied with electrical energy directly via the connection, the skin close to the battery and thus the heat development taking place at the battery due to the internal resistance of the battery can be avoided. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a solar panel, preferably only as an additional energy source in addition to a battery. If the cooling device has an integrated battery, it can be charged via the solar panel. However, the direct use of the electrical energy generated by the solar panel to operate the cooling elements can also be expedient.
