[0050] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0051] For example, when describing the embodiments of the present invention, cross-sectional views of device structures may be partially enlarged to scale for ease of explanation. Furthermore, these schematic views are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, in actual manufacturing, three-dimensional dimensions, including length, width, and depth, should be included.

[0052] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "under," "below," "below," "below," "above," and "on" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature to other elements or features shown in the drawings. It will be understood that these spatially relative terms are intended to encompass orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. Additionally, when a layer is referred to as being "between" two layers, it can be the only layer between the two layers, or one or more intervening layers may be present. As used herein, "between" is inclusive of both endpoints.

[0053] In the context of the present application, a structure described as a first feature being "above" a second feature may include embodiments where the first and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments where an additional feature is formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact.

[0054] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only used to schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.

[0055] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a temperature and humidity controllable labor protection glove, comprising a glove body and a temperature control and dehumidification device fixed to the back of the glove body. The temperature control and dehumidification device includes a temperature and humidity regulator 6, which includes an air dehumidifier 63, a semiconductor cooling plate 62, and an air heat exchanger 61 stacked in sequence from the back of the glove body upward. The back of the glove body is provided with a glove air inlet 9 and a glove air outlet 12 that are connected to the inner cavity of the glove.

[0056] The glove exhaust port 12 is connected to the first air inlet 11 of the air dehumidifier 63 via a pipeline. The first exhaust port 7 of the air dehumidifier 63 is connected to the air pump inlet of the air pump 1 via a pipeline. The air pump exhaust port of the air pump 1 is connected to the third air inlet 5 of the air heat exchanger 61 via a pipeline. The third exhaust port 8 of the air heat exchanger 61 is connected to the glove air inlet 9 via a pipeline.

[0057] Under the suction of the air pump 1, the moist air in the inner cavity of the glove passes through the air dehumidifier 63 and the air heat exchanger 61 in sequence for dehumidification and temperature adjustment before entering the inner cavity of the glove to complete the cycle. The semiconductor cooling plate 62 can heat and regenerate the dehumidifier 21 in the air dehumidifier 63.

[0058] Specifically, a cylindrical dehumidifier 21 is installed in the inner cavity of the air dehumidifier 63 to dehumidify the humid air. A cylindrical heat exchange fin 20 is installed in the inner cavity of the air heat exchanger 61 to control the air temperature.

[0059] Furthermore, the pipeline between the glove exhaust port 12 and the first air inlet 11 is also cross-connected with the external air inlet pipeline and intersects at a first intersection. A first valve 13 is provided between the first intersection and the first air inlet 11. One end of the external air inlet pipeline is placed in the external environment, and the other end is connected to the pipeline between the first exhaust port 7 and the air pump inlet; a second valve 14 is provided between one end of the external air inlet pipeline placed in the external environment and the first intersection, and a third valve 10 is provided between the other end and the first intersection.

[0060] Specifically, the gas discharged from the glove exhaust port 12 can be diverted by adjusting the first valve 13 and the third valve 10. Depending on actual needs, a portion of the gas can enter the dehumidifier 63, while the remaining portion can be directly fed into the air pump 1 without further treatment. Furthermore, the dehumidifier 21 within the dehumidifier 63 can be regenerated by adjusting the positive and negative poles of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 62 so that the side in contact with the dehumidifier 63 serves as the heating surface. This heating evaporates moisture from the dehumidifier 21. Simultaneously, adjusting the first valve 13 and the second valve 14 allows ambient air to enter the dehumidifier 63, removing moisture from the dehumidifier 21 and regenerating the dehumidifier 21. Of course, during normal operation of dehumidifying the gas within the glove cavity, the positive and negative poles of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 62 need to be swapped so that the side in contact with the dehumidifier 63 serves as the cooling surface, thereby fully maximizing the dehumidification function of the dehumidifier 63.

[0061] Semiconductor coolers, also known as thermoelectric coolers, are often used in applications where space is limited, reliability is critical, and refrigerant pollution is avoided. They utilize the Peltier effect of semiconductor materials. When direct current passes through a galvanic couple composed of two different semiconductor materials connected in series, heat is absorbed and released at either end of the couple, achieving cooling or heating. They have no moving parts and are therefore highly reliable.

[0062] Furthermore, one end of the bifurcated pipe connects to the pipe between the air pump exhaust port and the third air inlet 5, forming a second intersection, while the other end connects to the pipe between the third exhaust port 8 and the glove air inlet 9, forming a third intersection. A fourth valve 4 is provided in the pipe between the second intersection and the third air inlet 5, and a fifth valve 3 is provided in the bifurcated pipe.

[0063] Specifically, the gas discharged from the air pump exhaust port 12 of the air pump can be diverted through the fourth valve 4 and the fifth valve 3. According to actual needs, part of the gas can enter the air heat exchanger 61, and the other part can directly enter the glove air inlet 9 without being processed.

[0064] Furthermore, one end of the external exhaust pipeline is connected to the pipeline between the second intersection and the air pump exhaust port, and a sixth valve 2 is provided in the external exhaust pipeline.

[0065] Specifically, the external exhaust line and the fourth valve 2 are mainly used to discharge the gas used for regenerating the dehumidifier 21. Because the gas used for regenerating the dehumidifier 21 carries a large amount of water vapor, it is not suitable to be recirculated into the glove cavity. Therefore, it is directly discharged to the external environment by opening the sixth valve 2.

[0066] Furthermore, a power supply 18 is included for providing power to the air pump 1 and the semiconductor cooling chip 62. A positive-negative converter 17 is installed in the cable between the power supply 18 and the semiconductor cooling chip 62 to adjust the positive and negative polarity of the semiconductor cooling chip 62 so that the contact surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 62 in close contact with the air dehumidifier 63 is a heating surface or a cooling surface. The semiconductor cooling chip 62 includes a first interface 15 and a second interface 16.

[0067] Furthermore, a tightening belt 19 is provided at the opening of the glove body. The air dehumidifier 63, the semiconductor cooling plate 62, and the air heat exchanger 61 are preferably cylindrical in shape.

[0068] Specifically, the temperature and humidity controllable protective gloves of the present invention mainly include the following two operating methods:

[0069] (1) Dehumidification process:

[0070] Turn on the positive-negative converter 17, so that the contact surface of the semiconductor cooling plate 62 with the air dehumidifier 63 is the cooling surface, and the contact surface with the air heat exchanger 61 is the heating surface. Close the second valve 14, turn on the air pump 1, and adjust the first valve 13 and the third valve 10 to control the air flow into the air dehumidifier 63. The dehumidified air flows out of the first exhaust port 7 and mixes with the non-dehumidified air before entering the air pump inlet. Close the sixth valve 2, and the dehumidified and mixed air flows out of the air pump exhaust port. Adjust the fourth valve 4 and the fifth valve 3 to control the air flow into the air heat exchanger 61. The air that has been heated by the air heat exchanger 61 mixes with the non-heated air and flows into the glove cavity through the glove inlet 9.

[0071] (2) Regeneration process:

[0072] Open the positive-negative converter 17, so that the contact surface between the semiconductor cooling chip 62 and the air dehumidifier 63 becomes the heating surface, and the contact surface with the air heat exchanger 61 becomes the cooling surface. Open the second valve 14 and the first valve 13, close the third valve 10, and turn on the air pump 1. Outside air is drawn into the air dehumidifier 63. The dehumidifier, heated by the semiconductor cooling chip 62, comes into contact with the air, and the air carries away heat and water vapor. The regenerated moist air enters the air pump 1. Close the fourth valve 4 and the fifth valve 3, and open the sixth valve 2, allowing the moist air to be discharged through the external exhaust pipe to the outside environment, completing the regeneration process of the dehumidifier 21.

[0073] In summary, the present invention provides a temperature- and humidity-controllable work glove. The glove comprises a glove body and a temperature-control and dehumidification device fixed to the back of the glove body. The temperature-control and dehumidification device comprises a temperature and humidity regulator, which comprises an air dehumidifier, a semiconductor cooling plate, and an air heat exchanger stacked sequentially from the back of the glove body upward. The back of the glove body is provided with a glove air inlet and a glove air outlet connected to the glove's inner cavity. Under the suction of an air pump, moist air in the glove's inner cavity passes through the air dehumidifier and air heat exchanger in sequence for dehumidification and temperature control before entering the glove's inner cavity to complete the cycle. The semiconductor cooling plate can heat and regenerate the dehumidifier in the air dehumidifier. The glove has the following beneficial effects:
