Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of textile fabrics, and more specifically, it relates to a cold storage pad with a cold quantity slow-release function and its preparation process. Background Art

[0002] With the frequent occurrence of global warming and extreme high-temperature weather, the problem of heat stress in high-temperature working environments has become increasingly prominent, seriously affecting the health and work efficiency of workers. Cooling vests bring coolness and comfort to workers in the sweltering summer. The cooling vest absorbs the heat of the human body and the environment through a cold storage agent. Among them, the water-based cold storage agent is the most commonly used cold storage agent at present. For example, the Chinese patent with the authorization publication number CN 213756745U discloses a cooling vest with ice packs, which uses the phase change heat absorption characteristics of ice to achieve the cooling effect. The ice pack has a high enthalpy value and can absorb more heat under the same mass. However, the phase change temperature point of ice is relatively low, and direct contact with the human body is likely to cause cold stress. Therefore, although the high-enthalpy cold storage agent can extend the cooling duration, the contradiction between the low-temperature phase change characteristics and human comfort has not been effectively solved. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring that the cold storage agent has a high enthalpy value, how to reduce the cold stress injury to the human body has become the key to improving the wearing comfort of the cooling vest. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The invention object of this application is to reduce the cold stress injury to the human body and improve the wearing comfort of the cooling vest on the premise of ensuring that the cold storage agent has a high enthalpy value. For this reason, the present invention provides a cold storage pad with a cold quantity slow-release function and its preparation process.

[0004] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a cold storage pad with a cold quantity slow-release function. The cold storage pad with a cold quantity slow-release function includes air, spacer fabric, cold storage agent and packaging bag. The air, spacer fabric and cold storage agent are placed inside the packaging bag. The cold storage agent and air are sealed and injected inside the double-layer spacer fabric.

[0005] The spacer fabric can be selected to be woven into a double-layer spacer fabric with a yarn composed of one or more combinations of polyester fiber, polypropylene fiber, nylon fiber and polyethylene fiber, and the fabric layer height is between 1-3 cm.

[0006] The cold storage agent is composed of deionized water, thickening agent, foaming agent and inorganic salt. The content of deionized water is between 85-99%, the thickening agent is between 0.1-9%, the foaming agent is between 0.1-6%, and the inorganic salt is between 0.1-5%.

[0007] The thickening agent is composed of one or more of sodium polyacrylate, starch, arabic gum and carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0008] The foaming agent is composed of one or more of sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium lauroyl methyl aminopropionate

[0009] The inorganic salt is one or more of sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, and calcium chloride.

[0010] A preparation method of the above-mentioned cold storage pad with a cold quantity slow release function, which comprises the following steps:

[0012] (2) Hot-press the composite fabric;

[0013] (3) Prepare the cold storage agent;

[0014] (4) Inject the cold storage agent and air;

[0015] (5) Hot-press and seal the composite.

[0016] Further, in step (1), the length and width of the spacer fabric are 2-5 cm less than those of the composite fabric.

[0017] Further, in step (2), stack them in the order of "one layer of composite fabric, one layer of spacer fabric, one layer of composite fabric" in sequence and hot-press and bond the two layers of composite fabric together. The width of the hot-press seam is between 0.2-0.8 cm, the hot-press temperature is between 180-260 °C, and the hot-press pressure is between 10-30 MPa. In addition, leave a 1 cm gap on one side of the composite fabric not hot-pressed and bonded as a filling port for subsequent filling of air and the cold storage agent.

[0018] Further, in step (3), add the thickening agent, foaming agent, and inorganic salt to deionized water in sequence and stir for 6 hours in an environment of 25-50 °C, and the stirring speed is 50-300 revolutions per minute;

[0019] Further, in step (4), fill deionized water from the filling port until it is full, then pour out the deionized water to measure the capacity of the cold storage bag, dry the cold storage bag, then load the cold storage agent, and the content of the cold storage agent is 10-90% of the capacity of the cold storage bag. Then, fill in air, and the air content is 10-90% of the capacity of the cold storage bag;

[0020] Further, in step (5), after filling in air, clamp the filling port of the cold storage bag and hot-press for sealing. The hot-press temperature is between 180-260 °C, and the hot-press pressure is between 10-30 MPa.

The cold storage pad of the present invention has a unique structure and novel product.
