Detailed Description of the Invention

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0041] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention discloses a heating and cooling water cup holder, comprising:

[0042] The housing assembly 1 is provided with a cup holder 2 for accommodating a water cup, and a protective layer is provided on the outer side of the cup holder 2;

[0046] The benefit of adopting the above technical solution is that the water cup holder 2 can be cooled or heated by the heating component and the cooling component, which effectively saves energy. At the same time, the auxiliary heating and cooling components can be used to assist in rapid cooling, heating or heat preservation, which makes it more convenient to use and meets the different needs of users.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cooling duct 4 is wound around the outside of the cup holder 2, between the cup holder and the protective layer, and an air inlet 21 is arranged at its end, and the air inlet 21 is arranged in the air outlet of the automobile air conditioner. An inlet part is installed at the air inlet 21, and one end of the inlet part is open and fixed inside the air outlet of the automobile air conditioner.

The other end is provided with an outlet, and the outlet directly diffuses the cold air into the air environment inside the vehicle. A valve is provided at the air inlet 21 of the cooling duct 4 to control the opening and closing of the duct.

[0048] During the driving of the vehicle, the cup holder 2 is cooled by the vehicle air conditioner to reduce the temperature of the water cup.

[0049] Further, such as Figures 6-8As shown in the figure, the heating pipe 3 is wound around the outside of the cup holder 2, located between the cup holder and the protective layer. There is a heating medium inside it. The heating medium is a liquid, which can be water, ethanol, acetone, etc. The heating pipe 3 is connected to a heat exchange plate 5. The heat exchange plate 5 is in contact with the coolant pipe 51 of the vehicle engine. The heat exchange plate 5 has an inlet and an outlet, and the inlet and outlet are connected to the heating pipe 3. There is a cavity inside the heat exchange plate 5. The whole heat exchange plate 5 is arc-shaped and is in contact with the coolant pipe 51 of the vehicle engine to transfer the heat generated by the vehicle engine. The whole heat exchange plate 5 is made of metal material to facilitate heat conduction. The whole heat exchange plate 5 can be fixed to the coolant pipe of the vehicle engine by bundling or setting connecting parts to lock, etc., which is convenient for disassembly. Utilize the heat of the vehicle engine coolant to exchange heat with the heating pipe to realize the heating function of the cup holder 2 and save energy.

[0050] Further, a pump 31 is provided on the heating pipe 3. The pump 31 can be in the form of a vane type, a positive displacement type, etc. to realize liquid circulation.

[0051] Drive the heating medium in the heating pipe 3 to flow through the pump 31, so that the heated heating medium flows to the cup holder 2 for heat exchange, and the heating efficiency is improved.

[0052] In some embodiments, the auxiliary heating component includes a semiconductor 6, a heat dissipation pipe 61 and a heat sink 62. The side of the semiconductor 6 is in contact with the cup holder 2. The semiconductor 6 is connected to the heat sink 62 through the heat dissipation pipe 61. One end of the heat dissipation pipe 61 is inserted into the semiconductor 6 and fixed, and the other end extends into the heat sink 62 and is fixed to transfer the heat generated by the semiconductor 6 to the position of the heat sink 62. The semiconductor 6 is a semiconductor refrigeration sheet. When direct current passes through an electric couple formed by two different semiconductor materials in series, heat can be absorbed and released at both ends of the electric couple respectively, and the purpose of refrigeration can be achieved. When the voltage loaded on the semiconductor refrigeration sheet is reversed, different functions of refrigeration and heating can be realized to meet the usage needs of different users.

[0053] In some embodiments, a fan 63 is provided on the lower side of the heat sink 62, and an air outlet housing 7 is provided on the upper side. The air outlet housing 7 is connected to the housing assembly 1. The air outlet housing 7 is provided with a mesh air outlet, which is convenient for air outlet and prevents garbage from entering at the same time. The heat sink 62 is composed of multiple single pieces, and there is a space in the middle for the wind blown by the fan 63 to pass through. The setting of the fan 63 can accelerate heat dissipation and dissipate heat to the environment from the air outlet.

[0054] Further, a support frame 71 is provided on the lower side of the air outlet housing 7. Both sides of the support frame 71 are locked and connected to the air outlet housing 7 by screws.

[0055] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are that the setting of the support frame 71 plays the roles of installation, support and protection.

[0056] Further, a circuit board 72 is arranged on the lower side of the cup holder 2. The circuit board 72 is fixedly connected to the housing assembly 1. A temperature control switch 11 and a temperature display control screen are arranged on the housing assembly 1 to control the temperature. The circuit board 72 is connected to the heating component, the cooling component, the auxiliary heating and cooling component and the temperature control switch 11. At the same time, a temperature sensor is arranged inside the cup holder 2 to sense the temperature, so as to realize the control of the heating and cooling modes and the temperature. The user controls the temperature control switch, and the control signal is transmitted to the circuit board, and then the heating component, the cooling component and the auxiliary heating and cooling component are controlled to realize various functions.

[0057] In some embodiments, an extension part 22 is arranged on the outer side of the cup holder 2. A plane is arranged on the outer side of the extension part 22. The plane contacts the semiconductor 6, and the temperature generated by the semiconductor refrigeration sheet is transmitted to the cup holder 2 through the extension part 22 to assist the heating component and the cooling component to realize the refrigeration and heating functions. Both the extension part 22 and the cup holder 2 are made of a metal material convenient for heat conduction. The extension part 22 is also provided with a relief hole for avoiding the cooling pipeline 4 and the heating pipeline 3.

[0058] Further, the housing assembly 1 is provided with two protruding ends, which are arc-shaped, convenient for connecting with the position of the car central control, and beautiful in shape.

[0059] During the working process, when the car is running and refrigeration is needed, only need to adjust the temperature control switch 11 to refrigeration. At this time, the valve opens, and the cold air of the car air conditioner is introduced at the air inlet 21, and the cup holder 2 is refrigerated through the cooling pipeline 4; when heating is needed, adjust the temperature control switch 11 to heating. At this time, the pump 31 starts to rotate, driving the internal heating medium to flow, and the cup holder 2 is heated through the heating pipeline 3, effectively utilizing the temperature when the coolant pipeline of the vehicle engine returns, reducing energy consumption. At the same time, if the refrigeration and heating temperatures do not meet the requirements, the auxiliary heating and cooling component is used to assist in rapid refrigeration, heating and temperature control. When parking, the refrigeration and heating functions can also be realized through the auxiliary heating and cooling component.

[0060] At the same time, if the car is an electric vehicle, it does not have an engine, so there is no coolant. At this time, the heating pipeline 3 can be removed, and an electric heating plate is installed at the air inlet 21 to realize the heating function by heating the air. At the same time, in winter, the cup holder 2 can also be heated by introducing the hot air generated by the car air conditioner at the air inlet 21.

[0061] For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
