PORTABLE PERSONAL COOLING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE DRIVERS

Abstract

The present invention falls within the field of personal climate control systems for vehicles. The identified technical problem is the lack of portable devices that provide localized and adjustable cooling for drivers, without relying on the vehicle's electrical system or affecting visibility. The proposed solution consists of a self-contained device that is installed on the windshield visor or sunshade. It integrates a solar panel oriented towards the sun, a backup battery, a Peltier thermoelectric module, and a silent axial fan, all controlled by an electronic system with a temperature sensor and digital interface. This design allows the driver's face and upper body to be cooled while driving and automatically activates ventilation when the vehicle is parked, reducing interior heat.Its main application is to improve the thermal comfort of the driver in extreme conditions, optimizing energy efficiency through the use of solar energy and avoiding structural modifications to the vehicle.
