Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of clothing structural design technology, and in particular to a body movement triggered self-heating garment. Background Technology

[0002] As people engage in more outdoor activities, the demand for functional clothing is also growing. In outdoor sports such as mountaineering, skiing, or long-distance running, the human body goes through a cycle from rest to strenuous exercise, and the body surface temperature and perspiration will fluctuate dramatically.

[0003] To cope with severe weather, existing outdoor clothing usually uses fully enclosed windproof and waterproof fabrics. While these fabrics can effectively block wind and rain, they cannot expel the hot and humid air in time when the body generates a lot of sweat and heat during strenuous exercise. This results in a high-temperature and high-humidity microenvironment inside the clothing, making the wearer feel stuffy and uncomfortable. In some cases, the sweat may even cause hypothermia after exercise stops due to the accumulation of sweat and the resulting coldness.

[0004] Therefore, this invention proposes a body-motion triggered self-heating garment to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus to solve one or more problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A body-activated self-heating garment includes: a main body of clothing, the outer wall of which is provided with a foldable structure, the foldable structure including a foldable outer layer and a foldable inner layer, the foldable outer layer and the foldable inner layer being alternately connected in sequence, and the surface of the foldable inner layer having a plurality of ventilation holes that penetrate the foldable inner layer.

[0007] Furthermore, the alternating foldable structure has a foldable outer layer at one end and a foldable inner layer at the other end, with the ends of the foldable outer layer and the foldable inner layer respectively connected to the outer wall of the garment body.

[0008] Furthermore, the foldable structure is arranged in a ring along the stretchable areas of the main body of the garment corresponding to the back, side waist, or joints of the human body. The foldable structure is made of windproof and waterproof material and is elastic.

[0009] Furthermore, on the outer wall of the garment body, an opening is formed between the alternately arranged portions of the foldable outer layer and the foldable inner layer, facing towards the lower part of the garment body.

[0010] Furthermore, in the foldable structure, the projected area of ​​the foldable outer layer is greater than the projected area of ​​the foldable inner layer.

[0011] Furthermore, the plurality of the ventilation holes are evenly distributed along the surface of the foldable inner layer.

[0012] Furthermore, the vent hole is circular in shape, and its edges are reinforced by edge locking.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention solves the problem of poor breathability and inability to dynamically adjust windproof and waterproof clothing during exercise by setting up a foldable structure formed by alternating foldable outer and foldable inner layers, and by using human movement to change the openings between adjacent foldable inner and outer layers, thereby achieving the exposure and concealment of breathable pores. It achieves an adaptive thermal management effect that can achieve static heat preservation and rain protection, and dynamic breathability and heat dissipation without the need for power supply.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the device proposed by this invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of this invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, only for the purpose of conveniently and clearly illustrating the embodiments of this invention. Please refer to the drawings to make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable. It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportional relationships, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives achieved by this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention.

[0020] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The body-triggered self-heating garment of this embodiment includes: a garment body 1, the outer wall of the garment body 1 is provided with a foldable structure, the foldable structure includes a foldable outer layer 2 and a foldable inner layer 3, the foldable outer layer 2 and the foldable inner layer 3 are alternately connected in sequence.

[0021] Specifically, the foldable outer layer 2 and the foldable inner layer 3 are alternately fixed by needle and thread sewing or heat pressing to form a pleated shape similar to an accordion bellows, allowing the entire foldable structure to flexibly switch between stretched and contracted states according to the force exerted during human movement. One end of the alternately formed foldable structure is the foldable outer layer 2, and the other end is the foldable inner layer 3. The ends of the foldable outer layer 2 and the foldable inner layer 3 are respectively connected to the outer wall of the garment body 1. The connection strength is ensured by tightly sewing the end edges to the garment body 1.

[0022] Furthermore, the surface of the foldable inner layer 3 is provided with multiple ventilation holes 4, which are circular in shape, but may also be other shapes in other embodiments. The ventilation holes 4 penetrate the foldable inner layer 3, and their edges are reinforced with overlocking to effectively ensure smooth airflow at the ventilation holes 4, extending the garment's lifespan. The multiple ventilation holes 4 are evenly distributed along the surface of the foldable inner layer 3. This even distribution ensures good breathability while preventing a decrease in the structural strength of the foldable inner layer 3 due to excessively high local perforation density.

[0023] Furthermore, in the foldable structure, the projected area of ​​the foldable outer layer 2 is larger than that of the foldable inner layer 3. That is, when the foldable structure is in its naturally contracted state, the surface of the foldable outer layer 2, due to its larger projected area, naturally covers the ventilation holes 4 of the foldable inner layer 3, forming a physical barrier that effectively blocks external wind and rain from entering. When the human body moves, such as swinging arms, bending the torso, or moving joints, the corresponding foldable structure is subjected to the force generated by the movement, causing a change in the relative position between the foldable outer layer 2 and the foldable inner layer 3. The previously concealed ventilation holes 4 gradually become exposed, allowing the hot and humid air inside the garment to quickly escape to the outside through the ventilation holes 4, achieving a heat dissipation and ventilation effect.

[0024] Furthermore, the foldable structure is arranged in a ring along the main body of the garment 1, corresponding to the stretchable areas of the back, sides, or joints of the human body. The foldable structure is made of windproof and waterproof material and is elastic. For example, in the back area, the ring-shaped foldable structure can cover the main heat dissipation area from the shoulder blade to the lumbar spine. When the human body performs actions such as bending over or expanding the chest, the stretching of the back muscles will cause the foldable structure to unfold, fully exposing the ventilation holes 4. The ring-shaped foldable structure at the sides of the waist plays a role when the human body twists or moves to the side. Its elastic material can freely stretch and contract with the bending and straightening of the waist, ensuring that the ventilation and heat dissipation function can be effectively triggered in various movement postures. At joints, such as the elbow, the foldable structure creates a large opening between the foldable outer layer 2 and the foldable inner layer 3 when the joint is bent. The opening widens, accelerating the dissipation of heat from the joint. When the joint is straightened, the foldable structure automatically contracts, and the foldable outer layer 2 covers the ventilation holes 4 again, maintaining the windproof and waterproof performance of the garment.

[0025] Furthermore, an opening is formed between the alternately arranged foldable outer layer 2 and foldable inner layer 3, facing the lower part of the garment body 1. This opening ensures heat dissipation while reducing the direct entry of external cold air through the ventilation holes 4, thus providing a certain degree of wind protection and preventing the wearer from feeling uncomfortable due to direct cold air blowing.

[0026] The working principle of a body-motion-triggered self-heating garment according to the present invention is described below: When the body is at rest or in a state of minimal activity, the foldable structure naturally folds up, with the foldable outer layer 2 and the foldable inner layer 3 fitting together. At this time, the ventilation holes 4 on the foldable inner layer 3 are covered and concealed by the foldable outer layer 2, effectively blocking external wind and rain from entering, ensuring the garment's windproof and waterproof performance, and maintaining a warm and dry environment inside the garment. However, when the body engages in strenuous activities such as running, jumping, or mountain climbing, the stretching of relevant body parts, such as the back, sides, or joints, causes the foldable structure to unfold. Because the foldable outer layer 2 and the foldable inner layer 3 are alternately connected and elastic, the openings between adjacent foldable outer layers 2 and foldable inner layers 3 widen during unfolding, exposing the previously concealed ventilation holes 4. At this time, a large amount of hot and humid air generated inside the garment due to movement can be quickly expelled through the ventilation holes 4, while fresh air from outside can also enter through the ventilation holes 4, forming effective air convection, significantly improving the garment's heat dissipation and breathability, and preventing stuffiness. When movement stops or the amplitude decreases, the foldable structure returns to its folded state under its own elasticity, and the ventilation holes 4 are once again covered by the foldable outer layer 2, restoring its windproof and waterproof function, preventing cold air and moisture from the external environment from entering, and avoiding rapid heat loss due to sweat evaporation. This design cleverly uses human movement as a trigger source, achieving heat dissipation and protection functions without additional power or manual operation, greatly improving the practicality and comfort of outdoor clothing.

[0027] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0028] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
