first embodiment
[0034]Embodiments of the present invention are described below. FIG. 1 is an external view of a temperature regulating apparatus 1 according to a first embodiment. The first embodiment describes an example in which a baby bottle containing milk is used as a target object for temperature regulation, but the target object is not limited to a baby bottle. The target object may be an object containing liquid or may be a solid body. For example, juice in a container, fish, or the like may be a target object.
[0035]The temperature regulating apparatus 1 includes an accommodating member 2, a nozzle 3, a placing table 4, a fastening tool 5, a blow pipe 6, a blow pump 7, a sensor 8, and an operation board 9. The accommodating member 2 accommodates a target object A and a liquid as a cooling medium. An example of using water as a cooling medium is described below. The cooling medium may include ice or may include alcohol. The accommodating member 2 may include a lid to prevent a water splash t...
first modification
[0043]FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a temperature regulating apparatus 1 according to a first modification. In the first modification, the temperature regulating apparatus 1 includes an ultrasonic transducer 11 instead of a nozzle 3, a blow pipe 6, and a blow pump 7. The ultrasonic transducer 11 functions as an air bubble generation section. The ultrasonic transducer 11 includes a piezoelectric / electrostrictive element which is deformed by using a drive signal to generate an ultrasonic wave, thereby generating fine air bubbles. Referring to FIG. 2, the ultrasonic transducer 11 of the temperature regulating apparatus 1 is disposed on the back surface (i.e., a surface opposed to the surface on which the target object A is placed) of the placing table 4.
[0044]FIG. 2 shows a state in which the generated air bubbles move up along the surface of the baby bottle. As described above, at least a part of the air bubbles touching the surface of the baby bottle is considered to roll when moving...
second modification
[0045]A second modification is described below. According to this modification, an air bubble generation section generates air bubbles of at least two sizes. The air bubble generation section of this modification includes at least the nozzle 3, the blow pipe 6, the blow pump 7 according to the above embodiment, and generates air bubbles of 0.1 mm or larger and less than 5 mm (hereinafter referred to as “normal bubbles”) in the same manner as the above embodiment.
[0046]The air bubble generation section according to this modification generates micro-bubbles and / or nano-bubbles. The diameters of the micro-bubbles are 0.5 μm or larger and less than 50 μm. The diameters of the nano-bubbles are less than 500 nm (for example, 10 nm or larger and less than 500 nm).
[0047]Away to generate the micro-bubbles is not limited. For example, the nozzle 3 configured to generate the micro-bubbles is provided in addition to the nozzle 3 configured to generate the normal bubbles. The nozzle 3 for the mi...
