Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigeration clothing technology, and in particular to a hybrid refrigeration clothing. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many workers in various industries need to work in high-temperature environments. Therefore, they typically wear liquid-cooled clothing to perform their work in high-temperature conditions.

[0003] In existing systems, liquid-cooled clothing uses work clothes as a carrier, embedding a liquid-cooling circulation system inside. This system uses a liquid cooling medium to remove heat from the body, thereby regulating body temperature and achieving thermal comfort. However, in the process of developing this application, the inventors discovered at least the following problems in the prior art:

[0004] Current liquid-cooled clothing mainly uses compressor refrigeration or thermoelectric refrigeration. The work clothes are internally arranged with liquid cooling pipes for the circulation of liquid cooling medium. Such products have complex structures, are heavy, and have the disadvantage of a single refrigeration method. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a hybrid cooling garment that improves upon the current problems of complex structure, heavy weight, and single cooling method in liquid-cooled garments.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a hybrid cooling garment, comprising:

[0007] The main body of the garment has a first cooling chamber and a second cooling chamber inside, which are arranged on opposite sides of the target to be cooled.

[0008] A compression refrigeration system, located in the main body of the garment, includes:

[0009] An evaporator module is located inside the first refrigeration chamber. The evaporator module has a hot air inlet and a cold air outlet. The cold air outlet is used to introduce the cold air generated by the evaporator module into the first refrigeration chamber, and the hot air inlet is used to introduce the hot air in the first refrigeration chamber into the evaporator module to absorb the heat of the target to be dissipated.

[0010] The cold pipe module is coiled inside the second refrigeration chamber and connected in parallel with the evaporator module. It is used to introduce low-temperature refrigerant to contact the target to be cooled and exchange heat to achieve cooling of the target.

[0011] In some embodiments, the cooling pipe module includes:

[0012] Several cold pipes are used to introduce refrigerant to cool different heat-generating parts that need to be cooled.

[0013] The main cooling pipe connects to each branch cooling pipe and is used to deliver refrigerant to each branch cooling pipe.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cooling pipe module further includes:

[0015] The distributor includes a first flow inlet and several first flow outlets. The first flow inlet is connected to the main cooling pipe, and the first flow outlet is connected to the corresponding branch cooling pipe, so that the refrigerant of the main cooling pipe can be distributed to each branch cooling pipe in the future.

[0016] The manifold includes several second flow inlets and second flow outlets. The second flow inlets are connected to the corresponding branch cooling pipes to concentrate and return the refrigerant in each branch cooling pipe.

[0017] In some embodiments, a flow regulating valve is provided on the main cooling pipe, which is used to regulate the flow rate of refrigerant entering each branch cooling pipe.

[0018] In some embodiments, the main cooling pipe and each branch cooling pipe are flexible pipes, which are arranged to conform to the heat dissipation target curve.

[0019] In some embodiments, the evaporator module includes:

[0020] The enclosure has a hot air inlet and a cold air outlet;

[0021] The evaporator is located inside the enclosure;

[0022] An internal fan, located inside the enclosure and facing the evaporator, is used to deliver hot air from the first refrigeration chamber that has absorbed heat from the target to be cooled to the evaporator. It is also used to deliver cold air generated by heat exchange with the refrigerant to the positions in the first refrigeration chamber corresponding to the heat-generating parts of the target to be cooled.

[0023] In some embodiments, a cooling air duct is provided in the first cooling chamber. The cooling air duct includes an air inlet pipe and several air outlet pipes. The air inlet pipe and each air outlet pipe are integrally constructed with the main body of the garment. The air inlet pipe is located on the side of the evaporator away from the internal fan. The air outlet pipe is connected to the air inlet pipe to deliver cold air to the heat-generating part corresponding to the target to be cooled.

[0024] In some embodiments, the compression refrigeration system further includes a compressor, a condenser, and a throttling device. The discharge port of the compressor is connected to a first end of the condenser, the second end of the condenser is connected to a first end of the throttling device, the second end of the throttling device is connected to a first end of the evaporator, and the second end of the evaporator is connected to the suction port of the compressor to form a refrigerant circulation loop.

[0025] The compression refrigeration system also includes an external fan, which is used to expel the heat generated by the condenser from the main body of the garment.

[0026] In some embodiments, the hybrid cooling garment also includes:

[0027] The control module is connected in communication with the compressor, outdoor fan, indoor fan and flow regulating valve. It is used to control the start and stop of the compressor, outdoor fan and indoor fan, and also to control the opening degree of the flow regulating valve.

[0028] The power supply module is connected to the control module and is used to supply power to the control module.

[0029] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the garment body is provided with a bag, and the compressor, condenser, external fan, control module and power supply module are integrated in the bag;

[0030] The bag contains a first accommodating cavity, a second accommodating cavity, and a third accommodating cavity in sequence. The first accommodating cavity is used to accommodate the condenser and the external fan, the second accommodating cavity is used to accommodate the compressor, and the third accommodating cavity is used to accommodate the control module and the power supply module.

[0031] The hybrid cooling garment provided in this application includes a garment body and a compression refrigeration system. The garment body contains a first refrigeration chamber and a second refrigeration chamber, which are positioned on opposite sides of a target to be cooled. The compression refrigeration system is located within the garment body. Further, the compression refrigeration system includes an evaporator module and a cold pipe module. The evaporator module is located within the first refrigeration chamber and has a hot air inlet and a cold air outlet. The cold air outlet allows cold air generated by the evaporator module to enter the first refrigeration chamber, while the hot air inlet allows hot air from the first refrigeration chamber to be introduced into the evaporator module to absorb heat from the target. The cold pipe module is coiled within the second refrigeration chamber and connected in parallel with the evaporator module. The cold pipe module allows the introduction of a low-temperature refrigerant to contact and exchange heat with the target, thereby cooling the target.

[0032] As can be seen, in the first refrigeration chamber, hot air that has absorbed heat from the target to be cooled is introduced into the evaporator module through the hot air inlet. The hot air that has absorbed heat from the target to be cooled exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator module to generate cold air, which is then introduced into the first refrigeration chamber through the cold air outlet, thus forming a refrigeration cycle inside the first refrigeration chamber. In the second refrigeration chamber, low-temperature refrigerant is introduced through the cold pipe module to contact the target to be cooled and exchange heat to achieve cooling of the target.

[0033] Compared with existing technologies, the hybrid cooling clothing provided by this invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0034] Compared to traditional clothing that uses liquid cooling pipes for circulating liquid cooling media, the hybrid cooling clothing provided in this application uses a compressed refrigeration system. One path of the refrigerant flows through an evaporator module, where the hot air in the first cooling chamber that has absorbed heat from the target being cooled exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator module to generate cold air, which is then introduced into the first cooling chamber to achieve a refrigeration cycle. The other path flows through a cold pipe module, where the low-temperature refrigerant in the cold pipe module contacts the target being cooled for heat exchange, thereby cooling the target. The first cooling chamber can be used for cooling the back of the body, and the second cooling chamber can be used for cooling the front of the body. This not only simplifies the product structure and reduces the product weight, but also allows for cooling of the back and front of the body through two different cooling methods, effectively improving the problems of complex structure, heavy weight, and single cooling method in current liquid-cooled clothing.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The hybrid cooling garment provided in this application embodiment includes a garment body 10 and a compression cooling system 20.

[0048] The main body of the garment 10 is provided with a first cooling chamber 11 and a second cooling chamber 12. The first cooling chamber 11 and the second cooling chamber 12 are arranged on opposite sides of the target to be cooled. The target to be cooled can be a human body or other target that requires temperature control. The opposite sides of the human body refer to the back and front of the human body.

[0049] In other words, the first cooling chamber 11 and the second cooling chamber 12 can be arranged on the back and front of the human body, respectively.

[0050] The main body of the garment 10 adopts an outer layer + inner lining design. The outer layer is made of waterproof and non-breathable fabric, while the inner lining is made of breathable fabric. The inner lining is designed with ventilation holes to facilitate the flow of gas inside the garment.

[0051] The compression refrigeration system 20 is installed on the main body of the garment 10. The compression refrigeration system 20 is used to achieve the refrigeration effect by changing the state of the refrigerant under different pressures and temperatures.

[0052] Furthermore, the compression refrigeration system 20 includes an evaporator module 21 and a cold pipe module 22. The evaporator module 21 is located in the first refrigeration chamber 11. The evaporator module 21 has a hot air inlet 2111 and a cold air outlet 2112. The cold air outlet 2112 is used to introduce the cold air generated by the evaporator module 21 into the first refrigeration chamber 11. The hot air inlet 2111 is used to introduce the hot air in the first refrigeration chamber 11 that absorbs heat from the human body into the evaporator module 21. The cold pipe module 22 is located in the second refrigeration chamber 12 and is connected in parallel with the evaporator module 21. The cold pipe module 22 is used to introduce low-temperature refrigerant to exchange heat with the human body to achieve cooling of the target to be cooled.

[0053] It should be noted that so-called contact heat exchange refers to heat exchange between the cold pipe module 22 and the target to be cooled, either directly or indirectly. Taking the human body as an example, indirect contact can be when there is clothing between the cold pipe module 22 and the human body.

[0054] The cooling principle of the cooling pipe module 22 is as follows: the liquid cooling pipe in the cooling pipe module 22 is attached to the surface of the human body, and heat exchange is carried out through the circulation of low-temperature refrigerant inside the pipe. The low-temperature refrigerant inside the pipe absorbs heat from the surface of the human body, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the human body.

[0055] As can be seen, in the first cooling chamber 11, hot air that has absorbed human body heat is introduced into the evaporator module 21 through the hot air inlet 2111. The hot air that has absorbed human body heat exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator module 21 to generate cold air, which is then introduced into the first cooling chamber 11 through the cold air outlet 2112, thereby forming a refrigeration cycle inside the first cooling chamber 11. In the second cooling chamber 12, low-temperature refrigerant is introduced through the cold pipe module 22 to contact the target to be cooled and exchange heat to achieve cooling of the target.

[0056] Compared to traditional clothing that uses liquid cooling pipes for circulating liquid cooling medium, the hybrid cooling clothing provided in this application embodiment uses refrigerant in the compressed refrigeration system 20. One path of the refrigerant flows through the evaporator module 21, where the hot air in the first cooling chamber 11 that has absorbed heat from the human body exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator module 21 to generate cold air, which is then introduced into the first cooling chamber 11 to achieve a refrigeration cycle. The other path flows through the cold pipe module 22, where the low-temperature refrigerant in the cold pipe module 22 comes into contact with the human body for heat exchange, thereby cooling the human body. The first cooling chamber 11 can be used for cooling the back of the human body, and the second cooling chamber 12 can be used for cooling the front of the human body. In this way, not only can the product structure be simplified and the product weight reduced, but the back and front of the human body can also be cooled separately through two different cooling methods, effectively improving the problems of complex structure, heavy weight and single cooling method of current liquid-cooled clothing.

[0057] In some embodiments, the cooling pipe module 22 includes a main cooling pipe 221 and a plurality of branch cooling pipes 222.

[0058] Among them, several branch cold pipes 222 are used to introduce refrigerant to cool different heat-generating parts of the human body; the main cold pipe 221 is connected to each branch cold pipe 222 and is used to deliver refrigerant to each branch cold pipe 222.

[0059] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 The number of branch cooling pipes 222 can be set according to the main heat-generating parts on the front of the human body. Taking four branch cooling pipes 222 as an example, the four branch cooling pipes 222 are connected in parallel in the cooling pipe module 22. The refrigerant is delivered to each branch cooling pipe 222 through the main cooling pipe 221, and then delivered to the corresponding heat-generating parts on the front of the human body through the corresponding branch cooling pipes 222 to achieve cooling.

[0060] Furthermore, the refrigerant pipe module 22 also includes a distributor 223 and a collector 224. The distributor 223 is used to distribute the refrigerant transported by the main refrigerant pipe 221, and the collector 224 is used to collect the refrigerant transported by each branch refrigerant pipe 222.

[0061] Specifically, the distributor 223 includes a first inlet 2231 and several first outlets 2232. The first inlet 2231 is connected to the main cooling pipe 221, and the first outlets 2232 are connected to the corresponding branch cooling pipes 222. In this way, through the diversion function of the distributor 223, the refrigerant of the main cooling pipe 221 is distributed to each branch cooling pipe 222.

[0062] Correspondingly, the collector 224 includes several second inlets 2241 and second outlets 2242, with the second inlets 2241 connected to the corresponding branch cooling pipes 222. In this way, through the collecting function of the collector 224, the refrigerant in each branch cooling pipe 222 is concentrated and returned.

[0063] In some embodiments, a flow regulating valve 225 is provided on the main cooling pipe 221, which is used to regulate the flow rate of refrigerant entering each branch cooling pipe 222.

[0064] Of course, depending on actual needs, the flow regulating valve 225 can be a solenoid valve, which is controlled by the control module 30 to regulate the flow of refrigerant entering each branch cooling pipe 222.

[0065] In some embodiments, the main cooling pipe 221 and each branch cooling pipe 222 are flexible pipes, which are arranged to conform to the curves of the human body.

[0066] Specifically, the main cooling pipe 221 and each branch cooling pipe 222 can be made of flexible materials (such as soft plastic). The flexible pipes can be bent. When the main cooling pipe 221 and each branch cooling pipe 222 are installed on the human body, the flexible pipes can be bent so that the main cooling pipe 221 and each branch cooling pipe 222 can be arranged to fit the curve of the human body. This can reduce the discomfort caused to the human body by the cooling clothing to a certain extent.

[0067] It should be noted that since the 22 cooling pipe modules are only arranged on the front of the human body, while the back of the human body is cooled by air, compared to the design where the entire garment is cooled by air, this application can significantly reduce the expansion volume of the garment when using air cooling. At the same time, due to the reduction in the air cooling area, the selected fan is smaller in size, weight and noise than the fan used in pure air cooling.

[0068] In some embodiments, the evaporator module 21 includes a housing 211, an evaporator 212, and an internal fan 213.

[0069] The cover 211 is provided with a hot air inlet 2111 and a cold air outlet 2112. The evaporator 212 is located inside the cover 211. The internal fan 213 is located inside the cover 211 and is positioned towards the evaporator 212. The internal fan 213 is used to deliver hot air that has absorbed human body heat from the first cooling chamber 11 to the evaporator 212, and is also used to deliver cold air generated by heat exchange with the refrigerant to the positions in the first cooling chamber 11 corresponding to the various heat-generating parts of the human body.

[0070] It is understood that, in this embodiment, the evaporator 212 and the internal fan 213 are located in an independent cavity within the first cooling chamber 11 through the arrangement of the cover 211. This independent cavity has a cold air outlet 2112 and a hot air inlet 2111. The cold air outlet 2112 is used to introduce the cold air generated by the evaporator module 21 into the first cooling chamber 11, and the hot air inlet 2111 is used to introduce the hot air in the first cooling chamber 11 that absorbs the heat of the human body into the evaporator module 21, thereby forming a cooling cycle in the first cooling chamber 11 to meet the cooling needs of various heat-generating parts on the back of the human body.

[0071] It should be noted that the evaporator 212 mentioned above is a small evaporator, and the internal fan 213 is a centrifugal fan. The small evaporator is installed below the shoulders and neck on the back of the human body, and ambient air is drawn in by the centrifugal fan. After the high-temperature gas from the outside passes through the evaporator 212, the heat is absorbed by the evaporator 212, and the cooled air is transported to the heat-generating parts on the back of the human body through the air duct to cool the heat-generating parts on the back of the human body.

[0072] To facilitate the precise delivery of the cold air generated by the evaporator module 21 to the various heat-generating parts on the back of the human body, a cooling air duct 111 is provided in the first cooling chamber 11. The cooling air duct 111 includes an air inlet pipe 1111 and several air outlet pipes 1112. The air inlet pipe 1111 and each air outlet pipe 1112 are integrally constructed with the main body of the garment 10. The air inlet pipe 1111 is located on the side of the evaporator 212 away from the internal fan 213. The air outlet pipes 1112 are connected to the air inlet pipe 1111 to deliver cold air to the corresponding heat-generating parts of the human body.

[0073] It should be noted that the aforementioned air inlet duct 1111 and several air outlet ducts 1112 are all made of woven fabric, so that the air inlet duct 1111 and several air outlet ducts 1112 are integrated with the fabric of the main body of the garment 10, and the air inlet duct 1111 and several air outlet ducts 1112 are set as non-removable structures. Compared with traditional rigid air ducts, this reduces the discomfort caused to the human body and reduces the overall weight of the garment.

[0074] In some embodiments, the air inlet pipe 1111 is provided with an air inlet 11111, and each air outlet pipe 1112 is provided with a corresponding number of air outlets 11121. The direction of each air outlet 11121 is designed according to the heat-generating parts on the back of the human body. This allows the cold air cooled by the evaporator 212 to be delivered to each heat-generating part on the back of the human body through the air duct structure, thereby achieving precise air delivery to the heat-generating areas of the human body.

[0075] By adopting the above-mentioned arrangement, this application arranges liquid cooling pipes only on the front of the human body and air cooling structure on the back of the human body. Compared with the traditional design that uses liquid cooling systems on both the front and back of the human body, not only is the length of the liquid cooling pipes in the liquid cooling system shortened by at least half, but it also reduces the probability of failure, improves the cooling efficiency, and reduces the overall weight of the cooling garment.

[0076] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 The compression refrigeration system 20 also includes a compressor 25, a condenser 24, and a throttling device 26.

[0077] The compressor 25's exhaust port is connected to the first end of the condenser 24, the second end of the condenser 24 is connected to the first end of the throttling device 26, the second end of the throttling device 26 is connected to the first end of the evaporator 212, and the second end of the evaporator 212 is connected to the compressor 25's suction port, thus forming a refrigerant circulation loop.

[0078] As can be seen, the compression refrigeration principle of the above-mentioned compression refrigeration system 20 is as follows: the refrigerant is compressed into high-pressure gas in the compressor 25 and discharged into the condenser 24. After being cooled in the condenser 24, it condenses into high-pressure liquid and flows into the throttling device 26. The refrigerant throttled by the throttling device 26 becomes low-pressure, low-temperature wet vapor, and then enters the evaporator 212 to exchange heat with the hot air that has absorbed heat from the human body before returning to the compressor 25.

[0079] It should be emphasized that after the refrigerant is throttled by the throttling device 26, it becomes low-temperature wet vapor or liquid. The low-temperature liquid is divided into two paths. One path enters the cold pipe module 22, enters the second refrigeration chamber 12, and then returns to the compressor 25 after absorbing heat from the human body through the pipeline. The other path directly enters the evaporator 24, absorbs heat from the air, and is discharged into the compressor 25.

[0080] In some embodiments, the throttling device 26 may be a capillary tube. The function of the capillary tube is to condense the refrigerant into a high-pressure liquid state in the condenser 24, and after throttling by the capillary tube, it becomes a low-pressure, low-temperature wet vapor, so that the refrigerant can enter the evaporator 212. Of course, the capillary tube can also be replaced by an expansion valve.

[0081] In addition, the liquid cooling pipes in the compression refrigeration system 20 are made of flexible silicone material, and can be fixed in the garment's lining using yarn, clips, or other methods.

[0082] To facilitate the removal of heat generated by the condenser 24, the compression refrigeration system 20 also includes an external fan 23, which is positioned towards the condenser 24 and is used to remove the heat generated by the condenser 24 from the garment body 10.

[0083] The external fan 23 is located at the waist of the garment. The gas cooled by the evaporator 212 will flow from the back and neck to the waist under the power of the external fan 23. This is to prevent the gas from not flowing to the waist area for cooling due to insufficient power of the internal fan 213 that works with the evaporator 212.

[0084] In addition, the hybrid cooling garment also includes a control module 30 and a power supply module 40.

[0085] The control module 30 is communicatively connected to the compressor 25, the external fan 23, the internal fan 213, and the flow regulating valve 225. The control module 30 is used to control the opening and closing of the compressor 25, the external fan 23, and the internal fan 213, and also to control the opening degree of the flow regulating valve 225. The power supply module 40 is communicatively connected to the control module 30 and is used to supply power to the control module 30.

[0086] To facilitate automatic control, functional devices such as temperature and humidity sensors can be designed inside the refrigeration garment. The control module 30 is connected to the temperature and humidity sensors, enabling the control module 30 to control the compressor 25, the external fan 23 and the internal fan 213 to start and stop based on the data transmitted by the temperature and humidity sensors, and to control the opening of the flow regulating valve 225 to regulate the flow of refrigerant and adjust the cooling capacity.

[0087] Please refer to the following: Figure 3The outer wall of the garment body 10 is provided with a bag body 13, and the compressor 25, condenser 24, external fan 23, control module 30 and power supply module 40 are integrated in the bag body 13.

[0088] In some embodiments, the bag body 13 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 131, a second accommodating cavity 132 and a third accommodating cavity 133 in sequence. The first accommodating cavity 131 is used to accommodate the condenser 24 and the external fan 23, the second accommodating cavity 132 is used to accommodate the compressor 25, and the third accommodating cavity 133 is used to accommodate the control module 30 and the power supply module 40.

[0089] The aforementioned bag 13 can be positioned at the waist of the garment, allowing accessories such as the condenser 24, compressor 25, and power supply module 40 to be secured to the waist.

[0090] Of course, depending on the heat dissipation requirements, the first accommodating cavity 131, the second accommodating cavity 132 and the third accommodating cavity 133 can be interconnected. In this way, the external fan 23 used by the condenser 24 can not only enhance the circulation of cooling gas, but also dissipate heat for other heat-generating devices.

[0091] In summary, the hybrid cooling garment provided in this application uses liquid cooling for heat dissipation on the front of the human body and air cooling for heat dissipation on the back of the human body. By adopting a heat dissipation method that combines liquid cooling and air cooling, the product structure can be simplified and the weight of the product can be reduced. Moreover, the back and front of the human body can be cooled by two different cooling methods, which effectively improves the problems of complex structure, heavy weight and single cooling method of current liquid cooling garments.

[0092] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0093] The hybrid cooling garment provided in this application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the solution and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to this application without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this application.
