Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photothermal effect film materials, and in particular to an outdoor heating device based on the photothermal effect film material. Background Art

[0002] When traveling or doing outdoor activities, heating food and drinks is a hassle, especially when the environmental conditions are harsh. Currently, the main outdoor heating appliances on the market include metal cookers and disposable heating packs, each of which has different advantages and limitations.

[0003] Metal cookware is mainly from outdoor tool brands such as Huofeng and Ailu Ke. They are heavy, not easy to fold, take up a lot of space, and require external energy such as fuel tanks or wood for heating. In addition, their use process is relatively complicated. If there is no stable heat source, the heating efficiency is relatively low in outdoor environments. This type of equipment is more suitable for relatively hardcore outdoor off-road and camping activities. The user group is often people who will engage in long-term outdoor activities and are willing to carry corresponding pots and stoves.

[0004] Disposable heating packs provide a flexible and convenient solution. Such heating packs are usually manufactured by food manufacturers. Their main ingredients include aluminum, iron powder or calcium oxide, and they use the principle of heat release from chemical reactions to heat. Since the heating packs themselves are not edible, they need to be used with pre-prepared foods in sealed packages such as soft cans. Compared with metal stoves, heating packs are more flexible and convenient to use, but the heat sustainability is poor and they are not reusable. The current heating packs can maintain the temperature for about 15 minutes, and other materials such as foam bags are needed to keep the food warm. The heating effect will be significantly reduced in low temperature or humid environments. In addition, the products generated by the reaction of the heating packs may have high alkalinity, and if they are broken or improperly handled, they may cause environmental pollution. This type of heating pack is generally suitable for short-term outdoor activities or emergency food, and is also one of the superior substitutes for foods such as instant noodles.

[0005] The current outdoor heating appliances have the following three main problems: first, they are heavy, inconvenient to carry and dangerous; second, they have low heating efficiency and are greatly affected by environmental humidity and temperature; third, they cannot get rid of the dependence on external energy supply. Therefore, it is urgent to develop an outdoor heating appliance that is small in size, lightweight, easy to carry, safe to use, has high heating efficiency and can get rid of the limitation of external energy. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art and provide an outdoor heating device based on photothermal effect film material to get rid of the limitation of external energy supply.

[0007] During the process of conception, the applicant believed that the present invention utilizes film-like photothermal effect materials to be processed into containers for outdoor cooking appliances, and adopts a flat folding structure to improve the use form of the photothermal effect film materials. Under lighting conditions, solar energy can be efficiently converted into heat, achieving directional heating that is independent of external energy and without the presence of open flames.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0009] An outdoor heating device based on a photothermal effect film material, the outdoor heating device is a three-dimensional structure folded from a plane structure, and the outdoor heating device is a receiving cavity with a cavity opening;

[0010] The outdoor heating device comprises a photothermal effect layer for heating articles, a foaming insulation layer for preserving the heat of the photothermal effect layer, and a flexible shell for supporting the entire plane folding structure;

[0011] The outdoor heating appliance further comprises a fixing fixture, and the fixing fixture is used to fix the outdoor heating appliance in a use state.

[0013] The three-dimensional structure of the outdoor heating device is a double quadrangular pyramid structure, which is composed of two quadrangular pyramids of different sizes. A triangular face of the large quadrangular pyramid serves as the cavity of the outdoor heating device, and a triangular face of the small quadrangular pyramid serves as the bottom of the outdoor heating device.

[0014] The present invention adopts a plane folding structure to improve the use form of the photothermal effect film material. The folding structure is derived from the evolution of the traditional tableware rotating body. The traditional cylindrical container is triangulated and the shape is adjusted according to the sunlight contact surface to obtain a double tetrahedral pyramid structure, which ensures the maximum light receiving area within a limited volume.

[0015] Furthermore, the triangular surface of the outdoor heating device is composed of a photothermal effect layer, a foam insulation layer, and a flexible shell from the inside to the outside, and the textured and stretchable quadrilateral surface is composed of only one layer of flexible shell;

[0016] When the outdoor heating device is in use, the surface with the texture is folded and the device is fixed using a fixing clamp.

[0017] Furthermore, a hard frame is provided inside the flexible shell to support the structure of the entire outdoor heating appliance.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner core of the flexible shell is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer material, and the outer skin is polyurethane material.

[0020] Furthermore, the photothermal effect layer adopts a photothermal effect film material for receiving sunlight and generating heat.

[0021] Further preferably, the photothermal effect membrane material is a MXene-bacterial cellulose nanofiber composite material or a multi-walled carbon nanotube-bacterial cellulose composite material;

[0023] When in use, sunlight irradiates the upper film layer to generate heat, and the lower foam matrix layer isolates the heat from escaping outward, so that the generated heat can be conducted through the film layer to the object located above the film layer.

[0024] Specifically, the arrangement of the photothermal effect layer, the foamed insulation layer, and the flexible outer shell enables the outdoor heating device to have excellent thermal insulation properties while being easy for users to operate and hold.

[0025] Furthermore, the fixing fixture is made of aluminum alloy material.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing fixture starts from a 3*3mm square base, and the folding process of the fixing fixture includes: forming two layers of isosceles right triangle structures that overlap but do not completely fit each other by bending along the diagonal of the square base, and opening a long strip along the axis of symmetry at the center of the upper triangle, and chamfering the bent edges.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] (1) The present invention is based on the heating principle of the photothermal effect and uses photothermal effect film materials to process outdoor cooking utensils. Under lighting conditions, the solar energy can be efficiently converted into heat and has good heating efficiency in some outdoor environments such as high altitude areas.

[0029] (2) The outdoor heating device provided by the present invention does not require open flames or external power supply during use, is not easy to burn, is safe and environmentally friendly, and can effectively avoid fire hazards and secondary hazards.

[0030] (3) The present invention adopts a flat folding structure to improve the use form of the photothermal effect film material, ensuring the maximum light receiving area within a limited volume, with high heating efficiency and little influence from ambient humidity and temperature. At the same time, the multi-layer material makes the outdoor heater have excellent thermal insulation performance; when not in use, it is unfolded into a flat structure with the characteristics of small size, light weight, and easy to carry, which increases the adaptability of application scenarios.
