Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pet feeding, in particular to a method for creating a local feeding environment for mammal pets. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, the phenomenon of raising pets at home is becoming increasingly common. Not only dogs and cats, but also rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes and other types of exotic pets have become common. Pets have become companions in people's lives, meeting people's psychological and spiritual needs while promoting the development of the pet industry, resulting in a series of economic consumption and energy consumption behaviors.

[0003] Pets have different requirements for temperature and humidity environments, but mammals generally prefer a more stable temperature and humidity environment, especially during the estrus period or the breeding period, and the environmental conditions are not easy to fluctuate too much. For example, pet rabbits, such as dwarf rabbits, butterfly rabbits, and Angora rabbits, are popular exotic animals due to their cute appearance. Pet rabbits are derived from wild hole rabbits and are sensitive and fragile, so they are suitable for cage breeding and occasional airing. They have high requirements for living environment. When the temperature of the feeding environment exceeds 18-26℃, the humidity exceeds 50%-60%, or the ventilation is poor or the air is blown strongly, the pet rabbits are prone to illness; when the environment changes dramatically or there is sudden noise, the pet rabbits are easily stressed and have a high mortality rate. In addition, pet rabbits are extremely sensitive during estrus or pregnancy, and they will urinate everywhere instead of their usual fixed point, polluting the environment around the feeding cage, which is difficult to clean and causes great distress to the pet owner.

[0004] To solve the above problems, pet owners need to create a suitable temperature environment for pet rabbits in hot summer and cold winter through some auxiliary means. The commonly used technical methods are: cooling plate ceramic tile cooling, which has the problems of effective effect, rabbit slipping and injury; ice block ice box cooling, which has the problems of not being able to be directly close to the body and condensation; liquid-filled cooling bag water bottle cooling and grass nest bedding insulation, which have the problems of limited effect and rabbit biting; air conditioning cooling and heating, which have the problems of large temperature difference, uneven temperature, direct blowing of air conditioner, noise, high energy consumption, heavy economic burden, etc. The pet rabbits rely on human attention to prevent noise and shock, and there is no related product, so the controllability is low. Urination by rabbits can be avoided through sterilization, but it is still difficult to completely avoid during feeding. There is currently a lack of functional integration, effective, energy-saving and ideal technology for creating a local environment for pet rabbits and effectively preventing noise, shock, and urination behavior. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above problems of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present application is how to provide a method for creating a local feeding environment for a mammal pet, which can better guarantee the survival and health of the pet, is convenient to use, and has the characteristics of safety, high efficiency, energy saving, convenience and function integration.

[0006] To solve the above technical problem, the present application adopts the following technical solution: in the present application, the direction is described from the inside to the outside of the local environment for pet feeding created by the device.

[0007] A method for creating a local feeding environment for a mammal pet, characterized in that a radiation heat exchange panel is provided around the environment where the pet is located, a phase change material with a phase change temperature in the suitable temperature range of the pet is arranged in the radiation heat exchange panel, and the phase change material is relied on to automatically adjust the temperature of the environment where the pet is located; meanwhile, a moisture absorbing material is arranged in the radiation heat exchange panel, and the temperature adjustment of the radiation heat exchange panel is relied on to automatically adjust the humidity of the environment where the pet is located.

[0008] This is because the environment where the pet is located usually has the characteristics of high temperature and high relative humidity at the same time, and low temperature and low relative humidity at the same time. Therefore, while relying on the phase change material to adjust the temperature of the environment where the pet is located, the method can rely on the moisture absorbing material to automatically adjust the humidity of the environment. For example, when the temperature and humidity of the environment are low, the radiation heat exchange panel can increase the temperature, and the moisture absorbing material inside can release water molecules to increase the humidity of the environment. When the temperature and humidity of the environment are high, the radiation heat exchange panel can reduce the temperature, and the moisture absorbing material inside can absorb water molecules to reduce the humidity of the environment. Therefore, the temperature and humidity are automatically controlled.

[0009] Further, when the temperature of the environment where the pet is located exceeds the adjustment range of the phase change material in the radiation heat exchange panel, a thermoelectric module with refrigeration and heating functions is relied on to actively adjust the temperature.

[0010] In this way, as a supplement to the temperature adjustment of the phase change material, the method can effectively compensate for the insufficient heat or cold of the phase change material when the temperature of the environment is too low or too high, so as to ensure the temperature and humidity adjustment effect.

[0011] Further, the method is realized by a mammal pet feeding environment creating device, wherein the mammal pet feeding environment creating device comprises at least one radiation heat exchange panel, the inner side of the radiation heat exchange panel has a heat and humidity adjusting layer composed of a composite phase change and humidity adjusting material, and the outer side is a temperature control layer provided with a temperature control device.

[0012] In this way, when the device is used, the inner side of the radiant heat exchange panel faces the direction of the local environment for the pet to be bred, and the other side faces outward. In this way, the inner side of the radiant heat exchange panel is provided with the composite phase change humidity control material, which can automatically adjust and control the temperature and humidity of the environment. The composite phase change humidity control material can be a material of the existing technology or a material specially prepared by the applicant. It has the characteristics of being porous, which can increase the humidity control effect on the basis of maintaining the constant temperature control effect. In addition, the temperature control device on the outside can be started when the cold and heat load is large and the temperature is lower than the temperature control and adjustment range of the composite phase change humidity control material, and the humidity control effect needs to be assisted to improve when the humidification and dehumidification load is large. Specifically, the composite phase change humidity control material contains phase change material, and the phase change temperature of the phase change material is a temperature range suitable for the survival of pets (usually 16-26℃). In this way, when the environmental temperature is lower than the phase change temperature, the phase change material will release heat, and when the environmental temperature is higher than the phase change temperature, the phase change material will absorb heat, thereby automatically adjusting the temperature of the environment. At the same time, the composite phase change humidity control material also contains moisture absorbing and releasing material. When the environmental humidity is high, the moisture molecules in the air can be automatically absorbed, and when the environmental humidity is low, the moisture molecules can be volatilized and released, thereby automatically adjusting the humidity. At the same time, when the temperature is too low or too high, and the air is too dry or humid, the temperature of the panel can be actively increased or decreased through the temperature control device, thereby actively adjusting the temperature and humidity of the environment. Therefore, the pet can obtain a more comfortable living space and environment, which is more conducive to maintaining health and improving survival rate.

[0013] Further, the radiant heat exchange panel has a plurality of side edges which are sequentially and sequentially connected to form a long strip shape.

[0014] In this way, the device can be folded and placed normally, and the plurality of radiant heat exchange panels can form a rectangular open-top fence structure when used, so that the inside forms a local environment for pet breeding, and the use is very convenient, especially suitable for hot summer. When implemented, cloth (such as canvas) can be used to achieve soft connection.

[0015] Further, the same side of the radiant heat exchange panel connected to form a long strip shape is also provided with a reverse T-shaped base.

[0016] In this way, the radiant heat exchange panel can be conveniently supported to maintain hygiene and facilitate air circulation at the bottom. Further, the base and the radiant heat exchange panel are connected by threads, so that they have a rotating and telescopic adjustment effect.

[0017] As another way, the radiant heat exchange panel includes a top plate, and each side edge of the top plate is sequentially and sequentially connected to form a side plate. The back side edge of the top plate is also sequentially and sequentially connected to form a back plate.

[0018] In this way, the device can be folded and placed normally, and the radiation panel can form a single-sided open rectangular box structure when in use, so that the inside forms a local environment for pet feeding, which can be used directly and independently, or can be used outside the existing feeding cage, creating a quiet and safe environment similar to a "cave" for pets, so it is very convenient to use, especially in cold winter. When implemented, soft connection can be achieved by using cloth (such as canvas).

[0019] Further, an upwardly retractable movable curtain is arranged on the front side of the top plate.

[0020] In this way, the curtain can be lowered when needed to better form the space for the pet to stay in and prevent the pet from running out.

[0021] Further, a T-shaped base is arranged on the lower side of each of the back plate and the side plate.

[0022] In this way, the device can be easily erected, maintaining hygiene and facilitating air circulation at the bottom. Further, the base and the radiation heat exchange panel are connected by threads, allowing them to be rotated and adjusted in length.

[0023] Further, a zipper or adhesive tape is arranged between the two sides of the top plate and the upper side of the side plate.

[0024] In this way, the two sides of the top plate and the side plate can be connected and fixed, making the overall structure more reliable.

[0025] Further, the temperature control layer comprises an internal heat dissipation layer, a heat insulation layer, a heat exchange cavity layer, and an external heat dissipation layer arranged in sequence from inside to outside, the inner side of the internal heat dissipation layer is connected to the heat and humidity adjustment layer, the thermoelectric module is arranged at the middle position of the heat exchange cavity layer, the thermoelectric module has a semiconductor element arranged along the thickness direction of the temperature control layer, forming two heat exchange ends at both ends of the temperature control layer in the thickness direction, the thermoelectric module also has a control circuit for controlling the switching of the current direction of the semiconductor element, one heat exchange end of the thermoelectric module is connected to the heat insulation layer and the internal heat dissipation layer, and the other heat exchange end is connected to the external heat dissipation layer.

[0026] In this way, the thermoelectric module formed by the semiconductor element has a semiconductor refrigeration function and can use the P-N junction Peltier effect of semiconductor materials to heat and cool. When working, one heat exchange end can form a cold end, and the other heat exchange end can form a hot end, and switching control can be achieved through the control circuit, thereby achieving the control effect of temperature rise and fall. The arrangement of the heat insulation layer avoids the exchange of cold and heat at both ends, improving the temperature control effect on the radiation heat exchange panel, and the heat dissipation layers on both sides can better conduct the cold and heat at both ends of the thermoelectric module to the inside and outside, respectively, improving the temperature control effect.

[0027] Further, the internal heat dissipation layer and the external heat dissipation layer are made of metal material or ceramic material or silica gel material, which can have better heat dissipation effect.

[0028] Further, the internal heat dissipation layer is provided with a plurality of outward convex heat exchange protrusions on the inner side.

[0029] In this way, heat can be better exchanged with the heat and humidity adjusting layer.

[0030] Further, the heat insulation layer is made of foam material, which is low in cost and excellent in heat insulation effect.

[0031] Further, the heat exchange cavity layer is provided with air holes at the upper and lower ends and communicates with the outside.

[0032] In this way, in the summer refrigeration mode, when the temperature of the hot end of the thermoelectric module exceeds 60℃, the thermoelectric module is easy to burn out, and therefore the structure can make the hot end of the thermoelectric module heat the air in the heat exchange cavity layer and form an upward air flow, which drives the air flow inside and outside, so as to realize the air cooling effect, and better ensure the refrigeration effect and service life of the thermoelectric module in summer.

[0033] Further, the external heat dissipation layer is provided with a detachable condensation groove on the lower surface.

[0034] In this way, in the winter heating mode, the surface temperature of the external heat dissipation layer is lower than 0℃, which is easy to frost or condense, and the detachable condensation groove can collect the frost or condensed water.

[0035] Further, in the radiation heat exchange panel serving as the side plate and the back plate, a heat exchange surface layer is further arranged on the inner side outer surface of the heat and humidity adjusting layer, and the heat exchange surface layer comprises a metal frame fixed on the outer surface of the heat and humidity adjusting layer, and a vertical row of metal louvers is arranged on the metal frame, and the lower side of each metal louver is lower than the upper side of the next metal louver.

[0036] In this way, the structure of the metal frame and the metal louvers not only increases the heat exchange area between the heat and humidity adjusting layer and the breeding environment, improves the temperature adjusting effect on the environment, but also does not affect the ventilation and humidity exchange adjusting effect between the heat and humidity adjusting layer and the breeding environment. In addition, the structure of the metal louver can also realize shielding protection of the heat and humidity adjusting layer, so as to avoid the pet directly contacting the heat and humidity adjusting layer to cause dirt and blockage, thereby reducing the adjusting effect. In addition, in the radiation heat exchange panel serving as the top plate, a heat exchange surface layer can also be arranged on the inner side outer surface of the heat and humidity adjusting layer, and the heat exchange surface layer can adopt a hollow structure provided with through holes in the transverse direction. In this way, the hollow structure of the heat exchange surface layer does not affect the heat and humidity exchange adjusting effect of the heat and humidity adjusting layer, and can also avoid the pet directly contacting the heat and humidity adjusting layer to cause dirt and blockage, thereby reducing the adjusting effect.

[0037] Further, the metal louver outer surface is provided with a waterproof coating, the lower end of the upper half metal louver has a vertical portion vertically downward, and the lower end of the lower half metal louver has a folded segment extending outward and upward, and the vertical projection of the vertical portion of the lower end of the upper half metal louver falls within the folded segment of the lower half metal louver.

[0038] In this way, the folded segment of the lower end of the lower half metal louver forms a urine absorption and odor purification material holder, which is filled with urine absorption and odor purification material (such as activated carbon particles) during use. Some pets (such as rabbits) have the behavior of lifting their legs to spray urine during estrus. Therefore, the structure allows the sprayed urine to be shielded by the metal louver and not to contaminate the composite phase change humidity regulating material on the surface of the heat and humidity regulating layer. At the same time, the upper half metal louver is prevented from being attached to the surface of the metal louver by the waterproof coating and the lower end vertical portion, so that the urine can drip down the metal louver to the urine absorption and odor purification material holder below, and the urine sprayed on the lower half metal louver can also directly slide down to the urine absorption and odor purification material holder and be absorbed by the urine absorption and odor purification material. Therefore, the pet rabbit urine spraying behavior can be effectively prevented from contaminating and corroding the composite phase change humidity regulating material layer, and the urine can be collected, deodorized, and cleaned, ensuring a clean and sanitary environment.

[0039] Further, the waterproof coating is a composite coating of metal organic framework material (ZIF-8) and water-based epoxy resin.

[0040] The composite coating can perfectly combine with the base layer of the metal louver, and has good hydrophobicity and corrosion resistance on the basis of maintaining good thermal conductivity. In implementation, ZIF-8 is first sprayed on the surface of the metal louver, and then water-based epoxy resin material is sprayed to obtain a composite coating before it is solidified, which can better improve the performance effect.

[0041] Further, the lower end of the lower half metal louver has two insertion pins extending outward and upward on both sides, and the folded segment is a separate metal strip, and the lower surface of the folded segment has insertion pin holes and is detachably inserted on the insertion pins.

[0042] In this way, the folded segment is a detachable design structure, which can be quickly detached when cleaning is needed, so that the urine absorption and odor purification material falls down, and the cleaning of the urine absorption and odor purification material holder is quickly completed.

[0043] Further, the composite phase change humidity regulating material layer includes a bonding layer attached to the internal heat dissipation layer and a regulating layer attached to the bonding layer, and the bonding layer is composed of a mixture of the following components in mass fraction: 75-90 parts of phase change material, 5-15 parts of high thermal conductivity material, 1-5 parts of nucleating agent, and 1-5 parts of thickening agent.

[0044] The phase change material is selected from one or more of paraffin, eicosane, sodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, sodium sulfate decahydrate, capric acid, and sodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, etc., and the phase change temperature is 16-26℃.

[0045] The high-thermal-conductivity material is selected from one or more of boron nitride, silicon carbide, zinc oxide, aluminum nitride, copper powder, nano copper oxide, nano aluminum oxide, and nano iron oxide.

[0046] The nucleating agent is selected from one or more of sodium pyrophosphate, sodium phosphate, sodium sulfate, borax, light calcium carbonate, calcium fluoride, nano silicon dioxide, and nano titanium dioxide.

[0047] The thickening agent is selected from one or more of sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylamide, and superabsorbent resin.

[0048] The adjusting layer comprises a mixture of the following components: 50-60 parts of the humidity-controlling material, 35-45 parts of the phase change material, and 1-5 parts of the expanded graphite.

[0049] The humidity-controlling material is selected from one or more of superabsorbent resin with a three-dimensional hinge network structure, synthetic resin, starch, and cellulose.

[0050] The phase change material is selected from one or more of paraffin, eicosane, sodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, sodium sulfate decahydrate, capric acid, and sodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, etc., and the phase change temperature is 16-26℃.

[0051] In this way, the composite phase change humidity-controlling material is divided into two different layers, and the material ratio of the combination layer is such that it has strong thermal conductivity and combination, can better realize the combination and fixation with the internal heat dissipation layer, and has a better heat conduction and heat transfer effect, which is beneficial to the heat transfer to the inside of the device during active heating. The material ratio of the adjusting layer uses expanded graphite as a shaping agent to realize the adjustment and shaping of the phase change material and the superabsorbent resin. The phase change material and the superabsorbent resin are mixed and filled in the gaps of the expanded graphite material, so that the superabsorbent resin can be extruded and the water vapor molecules in it can be extruded out after the phase change material absorbs heat and expands during the active heating and adjustment of the device, so that the pet environment can better realize humidity adjustment while being heated, thus enhancing the additive effect and being more conducive to fully improving the humidity adjustment function of the superabsorbent resin. The adjusting layer has very good moisture absorption and storage characteristics while having high thermal conductivity, and can better realize the adjustment of the environmental comfort.

[0052] Further, when preparing the composite phase change humidity control material layer, first, a plate-shaped internal heat dissipation layer structure is prepared, then the heat exchange protrusion upward of the internal heat dissipation layer structure is taken as a bottom plate, a mold frame is arranged around the internal heat dissipation layer structure, then the combined layer material mixed uniformly and heated to a molten state is introduced into the mold frame, so that it exceeds the position of the upper surface of the heat exchange protrusion, after cooling and solidification, the adjusting layer material mixed uniformly and heated to a molten state is introduced into the mold frame, after cooling and solidification, the mold frame is removed, and the composite phase change humidity control material layer structure combined with the internal heat dissipation layer structure is obtained.

[0053] Therefore, based on the content disclosed above, the application also discloses a preparation method of the composite phase change humidity control material layer, which is more convenient for the preparation of the composite phase change humidity control material layer and has the characteristics of high efficiency, rapidness, stability and reliability; and the combination and heat transfer effect between the composite phase change humidity control material layer and the internal heat dissipation layer are effectively improved.

[0054] Further, the heat exchange surface layer and / or the heat and humidity adjusting layer and / or the heat exchange cavity layer are provided with a temperature and humidity sensor, and the temperature and humidity sensor is connected with the control circuit of the thermoelectric module.

[0055] Therefore, the temperature and humidity change conditions at different positions can be monitored in real time, and the thermoelectric module can be controlled to start different operating conditions, so that the automatic control effect is better achieved.

[0056] Therefore, the pet feeding space local heat and humidity environment is created, the energy waste and economic pressure caused by the fact that the pet owner needs to ensure the pet demand through air conditioning and heating under the condition of non-personal comfort demand are solved, the heat exchange form of radiation as the main and convection as the auxiliary can achieve ideal body temperature effect with less heat and cold (the radiation air conditioning technology comfort has been proved in the human living environment creation), and multiple radiation surfaces create uniform temperature distribution, so that the survival and health of the pet are ensured. Meanwhile, the device has wide application occasions and ideal effect, and can realize multiple functions such as cooling, heating, passive temperature adjustment and passive humidity adjustment, avoids the disadvantages of other pet cooling and heating devices on the market, such as ideal effect, single function, slipping risk, eating risk and the like.

[0062] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments.

[0063] The method for creating the local environment for feeding the mammal pet is characterized in that a radiation heat exchange panel is arranged around the environment for the pet, a phase change material with the phase change temperature in the range of the suitable temperature for the pet is arranged in the radiation heat exchange panel, and the phase change material is relied on to realize the automatic adjustment of the temperature of the environment for the pet. Meanwhile, a moisture absorbing material is arranged in the radiation heat exchange panel, and the temperature adjustment of the radiation heat exchange panel is relied on to realize the linkage adjustment of the humidity of the environment for the pet.

[0064] This is because the environment for the pet usually has the characteristics that the relative humidity is high when the temperature is high, and the relative humidity is low when the temperature is low. Thus, while the phase change material is relied on to realize the temperature adjustment of the environment for the pet, the moisture absorbing material is relied on to realize the linkage adjustment of the humidity of the environment. For example, when the temperature and the humidity of the environment are low, the radiation heat exchange panel is relied on to increase the temperature, and the moisture absorbing material in the radiation heat exchange panel is relied on to release the water molecules to increase the humidity of the environment. When the temperature and the humidity of the environment are high, the radiation heat exchange panel is relied on to decrease the temperature, and the moisture absorbing material in the radiation heat exchange panel is relied on to absorb the water molecules to decrease the humidity of the environment. Thus, the linkage control effect of the temperature and the humidity is realized.

[0065] When the temperature of the environment for the pet exceeds the adjustment range of the phase change material in the radiation heat exchange panel, the thermoelectric module with the refrigeration and heating functions is relied on to realize the active temperature adjustment.

[0066] Thus, as the supplement of the temperature adjustment of the phase change material, the defects that the phase change material cannot contain enough heat or cold to realize the adjustment effect when the temperature of the environment is too low or too high are effectively made up. The adjustment effect of the temperature and the humidity is better ensured.

[0067] When the method is implemented, it can be realized by using a device for creating the environment for feeding the mammal pet. Referring to Figures 1-3As shown, the mammal pet breeding environment creating device comprises at least one radiant heat exchange panel, the inner side of the radiant heat exchange panel is provided with a heat and humidity adjusting layer 6 composed of a composite phase change humidity control material, and the outer side is provided with a temperature control layer provided with a temperature control device.

[0068] In this way, when the device is used, the inner side of the radiant heat exchange panel faces the direction of the local pet breeding environment to be created, and the other side faces outward. In this way, the inner side of the radiant heat exchange panel is provided with the composite phase change humidity control material, which can automatically adjust and control the temperature and humidity of the environment. The composite phase change humidity control material is a kind of existing phase change material, which has the characteristics of being porous and can increase the humidity control effect on the basis of maintaining the temperature control effect. In combination with the temperature control device on the outer side, when the cold and heat load is large and the temperature is lower than the temperature control and adjustment range of the composite phase change humidity control material, and when the humidification and dehumidification load is large and auxiliary humidity control effect needs to be improved, the temperature control device can be started to improve the temperature control range and better realize the humidity control effect. Specifically, the composite phase change humidity control material contains phase change material inside, and the phase change temperature of the phase change material is a temperature range suitable for the survival of pets (usually 16-26℃). In this way, when the environment temperature is lower than the phase change temperature, the phase change material will release heat, and when the environment temperature is higher than the phase change temperature, the phase change material will absorb heat, thereby realizing automatic temperature control of the environment. At the same time, the composite phase change humidity control material also contains moisture absorbing and releasing material inside. When the environment humidity is high, the moisture absorbing and releasing material can automatically absorb water vapor molecules in the air, and when the environment humidity is low, the moisture absorbing and releasing material can release water vapor molecules, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the humidity. At the same time, when the temperature is too low or too high, and the air is too dry or humid, the temperature control device can further actively heat or cool the panel to actively adjust the temperature and humidity of the environment. Therefore, the pet can obtain a more comfortable living space and environment, which is more conducive to maintaining health and improving survival rate.

[0069] The radiant heat exchange panel comprises a top plate 1, and each side edge of the top plate 1 is soft-connected to form a side plate 2, and the back side edge of the top plate 1 is also soft-connected to form a back plate 3.

[0070] In this way, the device can be folded and placed normally, and the radiant panel can form a single-sided open rectangular box structure when used, so that a local environment for pet breeding is formed inside, which can be used directly and independently, or can be used outside the existing breeding cage to create a quiet and safe environment similar to a “cave” for the pet, so that the device is very convenient to use, especially suitable for use in cold winter. In implementation, cloth (such as canvas) can be used for soft connection.

[0071] The front side of the top plate 1 is also provided with an upwardly retractable movable curtain 4.

[0072] In this way, the curtain can be put down when needed, better forming the space for the pet to stay in, preventing the pet from running out.

[0073] The base 5 in inverted T shape is arranged on the lower side of each of the back plate 3 and the side plate 2. In implementation, the base and the radiant heat exchange panel are connected by screw thread, having the effect of rotationally telescopic adjustment.

[0074] In this way, the device can be conveniently propped up, keeping hygienic and facilitating air circulation at the bottom.

[0075] The zipper or the adhesive tape is arranged between the two sides of the top plate 3 and the upper side of the side plate 2.

[0076] In this way, the two sides of the top plate and the side plate are connected and fixed, making the overall structure more reliable.

[0077] The temperature control layer comprises, from inside to outside, the inner heat dissipation layer 7, the heat insulation layer 8, the heat exchange cavity layer 9 and the outer heat dissipation layer 10. The inner side of the inner heat dissipation layer 7 is connected with the heat and humidity adjusting layer 6. The thermoelectric module 11 is arranged at the middle position of the heat exchange cavity layer 9. The thermoelectric module 11 has semiconductor elements arranged along the thickness direction of the temperature control layer, so that two heat exchange ends are formed at the two ends of the temperature control layer in the thickness direction. The thermoelectric module 11 also has a control circuit for controlling the switching of the current direction of the semiconductor elements. One heat exchange end of the thermoelectric module 11 is connected with the heat insulation layer 8 and the inner heat dissipation layer 7, and the other heat exchange end is connected with the outer heat dissipation layer 10.

[0078] In this way, the thermoelectric module formed by the semiconductor elements has the function of semiconductor refrigeration, and can use the P-N junction Peltier effect of semiconductor materials to heat and cool. In operation, one heat exchange end can form a cold end, and the other heat exchange end can form a hot end, and switching control can be realized through the control circuit, thereby realizing the control effect of temperature rise and fall. The arrangement of the heat insulation layer avoids the exchange of cold and heat at the two ends, improves the temperature control effect on the radiant heat exchange panel, and the heat dissipation layers on the two sides can better conduct the cold and heat at the two ends of the thermoelectric module to the inside and outside, respectively, improving the temperature control effect. In addition, in implementation, the control circuit can be connected with a storage battery or a power plug to provide power for the thermoelectric module.

[0079] The inner heat dissipation layer 7 and the outer heat dissipation layer 10 are made of metal materials or ceramic materials or silica gel materials, which can have better heat dissipation effect.

[0080] The inner side of the inner heat dissipation layer 7 is provided with a plurality of outwardly protruding heat exchange protrusions 12.

[0081] In this way, the heat exchange protrusions can better exchange heat with the heat and humidity adjusting layer.

[0082] The heat insulation layer 8 is made of foam material, which is low in cost and excellent in heat insulation effect.

[0083] The heat exchange cavity layer 9 is provided with air holes at the upper and lower ends thereof.

[0084] In the summer refrigeration mode, the heat end of the thermoelectric module is easy to be burnt when the temperature thereof exceeds 60 DEG C. The structure can make the heat end of the thermoelectric module heat the air in the heat exchange cavity layer and form an upward air flow, which drives the air flow inside and outside, and realizes the air cooling effect, thereby better ensuring the refrigeration effect and service life of the thermoelectric module in summer.

[0085] The lower surface of the external heat dissipation layer 10 is provided with a detachable condensate tank.

[0086] In the winter heating mode, the surface of the external heat dissipation layer is easy to be frosted or dewed when the temperature thereof is lower than 0 DEG C. The detachable condensate tank can collect the frost water or condensate water.

[0087] The heat exchange surface layer is provided on the inner side outer surface of the heat and humidity adjusting layer 6 in the radiation heat exchange panel serving as the side plate and the back plate. The heat exchange surface layer comprises a metal frame fixed on the outer surface of the heat and humidity adjusting layer 6, and a vertical row of metal louvers 13 provided on the metal frame. The lower side of each metal louver 13 is lower than the upper side of the next metal louver.

[0088] The metal frame and the metal louvers not only increase the heat exchange area between the heat and humidity adjusting layer and the breeding environment, and improve the temperature adjusting effect on the environment, but also do not affect the ventilation and humidity exchange adjusting effect between the heat and humidity adjusting layer and the breeding environment. In addition, the structure of the metal louvers can shield and protect the heat and humidity adjusting layer, so that the pet does not directly contact the heat and humidity adjusting layer, and the heat and humidity adjusting layer is not dirty and blocked, and the adjusting effect is not reduced. In addition, the heat exchange surface layer can also be provided on the inner side outer surface of the heat and humidity adjusting layer in the radiation heat exchange panel serving as the top plate. The heat exchange surface layer can adopt a hollow structure provided with through holes in the transverse direction. The hollow structure of the heat exchange surface layer does not affect the heat and humidity exchange adjusting effect of the heat and humidity adjusting layer, and can avoid the pet directly contacting the heat and humidity adjusting layer, so that the heat and humidity adjusting layer is not dirty and blocked, and the adjusting effect is not reduced.

[0089] The outer surface of the metal louver 13 is provided with a waterproof coating. The lower end of the upper half of the metal louver has a vertical downward vertical portion 14, and the lower end of the lower half of the metal louver has a folded section 15 extending outward and upward. The vertical projection of the vertical portion of the lower end of the upper half of the metal louver falls inside the folded section of the lower half of the metal louver.

[0090] Thus, the folded section of the lower end of the lower half of the metal louver forms a urine absorption and odor purification material holder, which is filled with urine absorption and odor purification material (such as activated carbon particles) during use. Some pets (such as rabbits) have the behavior of raising their legs to spray urine during estrus. Therefore, the structure allows the sprayed urine to be shielded by the metal louver and not to contaminate the composite phase change humidity regulating material. At the same time, the upper half of the metal louver, under the action of the waterproof coating and the vertical part of the lower end, causes the urine to drip down the metal louver and into the urine absorption and odor purification material holder below, and the urine sprayed on the lower half of the metal louver also directly slides into the urine absorption and odor purification material holder and is absorbed by the urine absorption and odor purification material. Thus, the pet rabbit's urine spraying behavior can be effectively prevented from contaminating and corroding the composite phase change humidity regulating material layer, and the urine can be collected, deodorized, and cleaned, ensuring a clean and sanitary environment.

[0091] The waterproof coating is a composite coating of metal organic framework material (ZIF-8) and water-based epoxy resin.

[0092] The composite coating can perfectly combine with the base layer of the metal louver, has good hydrophobicity and corrosion resistance on the basis of maintaining good thermal conductivity. In implementation, ZIF-8 is sprayed on the surface of the metal louver, and then water-based epoxy resin material is sprayed to obtain a composite coating before it solidifies, which can better improve the performance and effect.

[0093] The lower end of the lower half of the metal louver has two outwardly extending pins on both sides, and the folded section 15 is a separate metal strip with pin holes at both ends of the lower surface and detachably inserted on the pins.

[0094] Thus, the folded section is a detachable design structure, which can be quickly removed when cleaning is needed, so that the urine absorption and odor purification material falls off and the cleaning of the urine absorption and odor purification material holder is quickly completed.

[0095] In implementation, the composite phase change humidity regulating material layer includes a bonding layer attached to the internal heat dissipation layer and a regulating layer attached to the bonding layer, and the bonding layer is composed of the following components in mass fraction: 75-90 parts of phase change material, 5-15 parts of high thermal conductivity material, 1-5 parts of nucleating agent, and 1-5 parts of thickening agent.

[0096] The phase change material is one or more of paraffin, eicosane, sodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, sodium sulfate decahydrate, capric acid, and sodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, and the phase change temperature is 16-26℃.

[0097] The high thermal conductivity material is one or more of boron nitride, silicon carbide, zinc oxide, aluminum nitride, copper powder, nano copper oxide, nano aluminum oxide, and nano iron oxide.

[0098] The nucleating agent is selected from one or more of sodium pyrophosphate, sodium phosphate, sodium sulfate, borax, light calcium carbonate, calcium fluoride, calcium fluoride, nano-silica and nano-titanium dioxide;

[0099] The thickening agent is selected from one or more of sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylamide and superabsorbent resin;

[0100] The adjusting layer comprises a mixture of the following components: 50-60 parts of humidity-controlling material, 35-45 parts of phase change material and 1-5 parts of expanded graphite;

[0101] The humidity-controlling material is selected from one or more of superabsorbent resin with three-dimensional hinge network structure, which is obtained by combining one or more of synthetic resin, starch and cellulose series superabsorbent resin;

[0102] The phase change material is selected from one or more of paraffin, eicosane, sodium phosphate, sodium sulfate, capric acid and sodium phosphate, etc., and the phase change temperature is 16-26℃.

[0103] In this way, the composite phase change humidity-controlling material is divided into two different layers, and the material ratio of the combination layer is such that it has strong thermal conductivity and combination, can better realize the combination and fixation with the internal heat dissipation layer and has better heat conduction and heat transfer effect, which is beneficial to the heat transfer to the inside of the device when the device is actively heated. The material ratio of the adjusting layer uses expanded graphite as a shaping agent to realize the adjustment and shaping of the phase change material and the superabsorbent resin. The phase change material and the superabsorbent resin are mixed and filled in the gaps of the expanded graphite material, so that the superabsorbent resin can be extruded and the water vapor molecules in it can be better extruded after the phase change material absorbs heat and expands during the active heating and adjustment of the device, so that the pet environment can better realize humidity adjustment while being heated, thus enhancing the additive effect and more conducive to fully improving the humidity adjustment function of the superabsorbent resin. The adjusting layer has very good moisture absorption and storage characteristics while having high thermal conductivity, which can better realize the adjustment of the environmental comfort.

[0104] In implementation, when the composite phase change humidity-controlling material layer is prepared, a plate-shaped internal heat dissipation layer structure is first prepared, then the heat exchange convex surface of the internal heat dissipation layer structure is made to face upward, a mold frame is arranged around the internal heat dissipation layer structure, the combination layer material that is stirred, mixed, heated and in a molten state is introduced into the mold frame so as to exceed the position of the upper surface of the heat exchange convex surface, and then the adjusting layer material that is stirred, mixed, heated and in a molten state is introduced into the mold frame after the combination layer material is cooled and solidified, and the mold frame is removed after the adjusting layer material is cooled and solidified, thereby obtaining the composite phase change humidity-controlling material layer structure integrated with the internal heat dissipation layer structure.

[0105] Thus, based on the content disclosed so far, this application also discloses an equivalent method for preparing a composite phase change humidity-regulating material layer. This method makes the preparation of the composite phase change humidity-regulating material layer more convenient, giving it the characteristics of high efficiency, speed, stability and reliability; at the same time, it effectively improves the bonding and heat transfer effect between the composite phase change humidity-regulating material layer and the internal heat dissipation layer.

[0106] In practice, a temperature and humidity sensor (not shown in the figure) is also installed in the heat exchange surface layer and / or the heat and humidity regulating layer and / or the heat exchange cavity layer. The temperature and humidity sensor is connected to the control circuit of the thermoelectric module.

[0107] This allows for real-time monitoring of temperature changes at various locations and control of the thermoelectric modules to enable them to operate under different conditions, thus achieving better automation of control.

[0108] In addition, this method can also be used Figure 4 The apparatus shown is designed to create a suitable environment for mammalian pets. Figures 1-3 The only difference between the two devices shown is the number and connection method of the radiant heat exchange panels. Figure 4 In the device shown, the radiant heat exchange panel has multiple panels that are sequentially and softly connected at their oriented side positions to form a long strip.

[0109] In this way, the device can be folded and stored away when not in use. When in use, the multiple radiant heat exchange panels can be arranged into a rectangular, open-top fence-like structure, creating a localized environment suitable for pets. Therefore, it is extremely convenient to use, especially suitable for use in hot summer weather. Flexible connections can be achieved using fabric (such as canvas).

[0110] The radiant heat exchange panel is connected to an inverted T-shaped base on the same side as the elongated strip.

[0111] This makes it easy to prop up the radiant heat exchange panel, keeping it hygienic and facilitating airflow at the bottom.
