This gives the air conditioning module high flexibility and adaptability, providing convenient temperature control functions according to different wearing parts and usage needs, thereby ensuring that individuals can have a comfortable environment in various environments.
[0020] In this embodiment, the dual-channel heat insulation structure includes an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is provided with micropores or close-fitting ventilation channels for directly delivering temperature-controlled cold or hot air to the human body. The outer layer is provided with an exhaust vent for exhausting waste air, thus effectively isolating the hot air during cooling from the cold air during heating. It is understandable that the core design of the dual-channel insulation structure lies in the effective separation and directional transmission of hot and cold air. Specifically: Inner layer: Close to the human body, it is equipped with micropores or ventilation channels to deliver cool or hot air, which has been regulated by a small air conditioning compressor, directly to the surface of the human body, so as to achieve precise temperature control and improve wearing comfort; Outer layer: away from the human body, equipped with exhaust vents to remove excess heat or cold air generated during system operation. It exhausts hot air during cooling and cold air during heating to prevent mixing with the inner temperature-controlled airflow. It can achieve effective thermal insulation; improve the energy efficiency of the system; avoid reverse interference from exhaust air to the human body; and maintain temperature control stability and comfort during wear.
[0021] In this embodiment, the temperature regulation module includes a temperature sensor, a central control unit, and a fan speed regulation mechanism. The control unit automatically adjusts the compressor's working mode based on the ambient temperature and human body temperature data collected by the sensor to achieve cooling or heating, while also regulating the airflow. Understandably, the temperature control module in this implementation case achieves intelligent and automated temperature control management through the coordinated work of temperature sensors, a central control unit, and a fan speed adjustment mechanism. The temperature sensors collect ambient temperature and human body surface temperature in real time as a basis for judgment. The central control unit receives sensor data, intelligently determines whether the current temperature control needs cooling or heating, and controls the compressor to enter the corresponding operating mode. The fan speed adjustment mechanism dynamically adjusts the air volume and fan speed according to the temperature control needs and the user's preset or system automatic adjustment strategy to ensure that the human body can obtain a comfortable airflow and temperature in different environments. Therefore, the temperature control module can not only achieve the conversion between hot and cold, but also adjust the airflow according to the person, time, and place. It is an important component to ensure the core performance of the system as a "smart portable air conditioner" and improves the system's automatic adaptability and user experience.
[0022] In this embodiment, the energy management unit includes an energy storage device and an energy supply management system. The energy storage device can be charged by an external 220V and is equipped with an automatic energy collection module, which includes flexible solar energy collection materials and a small crank-type power generation device. Understandably, the energy management unit in this implementation case features multi-source power supply, flexibility and efficiency, portability and long battery life. Its design goal is to ensure that the portable air conditioning system can provide a stable power supply in various outdoor environments. The energy storage device features a 220V external power supply for convenient charging at home, in a car, or other fixed locations. The automatic energy harvesting module is equipped with flexible solar energy harvesting materials that can be integrated into hats, back panels, or outer clothing, converting solar energy into electricity in real time during outdoor activities. It also includes a small crank-type generator, allowing users to manually generate electricity in the absence of light or in emergencies, providing a degree of emergency power.

The energy management unit enhances the system's endurance and adaptability to various usage scenarios, enabling the portable air conditioner to be used not only for urban commuting or indoors but also for outdoor, travel, and camping environments, making it a key component in achieving a truly "portable air conditioner."
[0023] In this embodiment, the water storage module includes a storage and water reservoir and a water dispensing device. The water storage module is used to store and regulate water sources, and can be used for humidification or auxiliary heat exchange. It is understandable that the water storage module described in this implementation case serves not only to store water but also to provide auxiliary temperature regulation and heat exchange functions, further enhancing the comfort and energy efficiency of the portable air conditioning system. The storage and water reservoir is used to store liquid water resources, allowing for control of water usage as needed. Its structure is designed to be lightweight, compact, detachable, or replaceable, making it suitable for wearable devices. The water dispensing device enables precise release and control of water volume, and can work with the air conditioning system for evaporative cooling or humidification and heating functions. In cooling mode, the humidification effect utilizes the principle of water evaporation and heat absorption to enhance cooling efficiency, making it particularly suitable for hot and dry environments. Auxiliary heat exchange uses water as a medium to improve heat exchange efficiency, absorbing heat during cooling and enhancing heat conduction during heating, effectively reducing the compressor's workload. It can be integrated; the water storage module can be integrated with the air conditioning module as needed, or it can be set as an independent unit to adapt to the specific temperature control needs of different body parts such as the back, waist, and hat. The water storage module provides dual temperature control for the portable air conditioning system—air and water—which not only enhances the system's flexibility and the breadth of its applications but also improves the user's comfort.
[0024] In this implementation case, the modular interface and interconnection system are connected to each module through standardized electrical and data communication interfaces to achieve coordinated control and data sharing of temperature control, energy acquisition, energy storage, alarm and communication positioning of each subsystem; It is understandable that the modular interface and interconnection system described in this implementation case are designed to achieve flexible combination, intelligent interconnection and unified control of various functional modules in the portable air conditioning system through standardized design; Standardized electrical and data communication interfaces are provided.

The interconnected system achieves information exchange between modules through internal buses or wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth and low-power Wi-Fi. This includes temperature control data sharing, energy distribution coordination, alarm and safety mechanism linkage, and communication and positioning linkage. Temperature control data sharing involves the temperature regulation module acquiring ambient and human body temperatures and synchronizing the data to the energy management and air conditioning modules for intelligent temperature control. Energy distribution coordination involves the power management system optimizing energy allocation based on the energy consumption status of each module to extend battery life. Alarm and safety mechanism linkage allows for real-time transmission of overheating, fault, and insufficient water levels to the main control system or user terminal for early warning. Communication and positioning linkage supports remote control and real-time location tracking, providing users with additional intelligent safety protection. With multiple modules combined, the independent air conditioning subsystems on different parts of the wearer, such as hats, belts, and shoe uppers, can operate independently or be controlled collaboratively through an interconnected system. For example, when modules are installed on the head and back at the same time, the system can automatically balance the temperature of each area and improve overall comfort. Therefore, modular interface and interconnected system design not only improve the product's scalability, intelligence, and ease of use, but also provide technical support for future system upgrades, customized function expansion, and cross-platform collaboration.
[0025] In this embodiment, the circuit integration device includes a communication module and a positioning module integrated in the central control unit. The communication module uses wireless data transmission technology to remotely transmit device status information, control commands, and fault alarms. The positioning module is used to monitor the device's location in real time while it is worn, providing geographic location information to assist in safety management. It is understood that the circuit integration device described in this implementation case integrates the communication module and the positioning module into the central control unit, realizing the intelligent remote management, security tracking, and information interaction functions of the portable air conditioning system; the wireless communication module can perform status synchronization, remote control, and intelligent alarm; status synchronization transmits the device's operating status, such as temperature control mode, fan speed, remaining power, and water volume, to the user terminal or the back-end management system in real time; users can remotely turn on, adjust the temperature, and reset the air conditioning system via mobile APP, mini-program, or smart wearable device; when overheating, malfunction, low power, or insufficient water occurs, the system will immediately send a warning message to the user through the communication module; communication technologies can include low-power, wide-coverage methods such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LoRa, or NB-IoT to adapt to different usage scenarios; The positioning module can locate and track the device while it is worn, and can obtain the device's location data on the user's body in real time to help the system determine whether the wearing status is abnormal, such as whether it has fallen off; combined with the Beidou or GPS positioning system, it can obtain the precise location of the user's environment, which is suitable for emergency response in high-temperature and high-risk outdoor scenarios; it can be linked with the alarm system to provide the precise location to emergency contacts or service backend in case of emergencies such as heatstroke alarm. Centralized control and data management: The central control unit receives and processes the above data and makes intelligent decisions, such as automatically adjusting the air conditioning power and prioritizing temperature control of important parts; it can be expanded to connect to other intelligent modules such as health monitoring and environmental sensing to achieve multi-dimensional wearable data interoperability and joint control; By deeply integrating communication and positioning functions, the circuit integration device significantly improves the intelligence level and safety performance of the portable air conditioning system, enabling the invention to not only have temperature regulation functions, but also multiple practical values such as remote control, fault management, safety tracking and emergency protection.
[0026] In this implementation case, the safety protection and intelligent monitoring system includes fault detection, over-temperature, over-current and short-circuit protection circuits, and is also equipped with a data encryption communication module and a positioning module for real-time monitoring of equipment status and issuing alarm signals when abnormalities occur; the air conditioning system as a whole can be used in series or individually through standardized interfaces, that is, each subsystem module can be combined and deployed as needed, or can be installed independently; It is understandable that in this implementation case, the security protection and intelligent monitoring system significantly improves the reliability, safety, and modular flexible deployment capability of the portable air conditioning system by integrating multiple fault protection mechanisms, real-time monitoring, and intelligent linkage functions. The fault detection circuit continuously monitors the operating status of various modules in the air conditioning system, such as the compressor, battery, temperature control, and circuit board. It immediately issues a fault signal upon detecting any abnormalities, such as voltage anomalies or module failures. The over-temperature protection circuit automatically cuts off power or reduces operating power when the system temperature exceeds the safe upper limit, preventing safety hazards caused by high temperatures. The overcurrent and short-circuit protection circuit forms a closed-loop current monitoring system for the entire power supply. It immediately disconnects the relevant circuits and issues an alarm upon the occurrence of a short circuit or overload. The alarm mechanism, combined with circuit anomaly detection, provides multi-faceted early warnings through buzzers, vibration alerts, LED warning lights, or APP push notifications. The data encryption communication module encrypts all remote communication and interactions with the local module to prevent malicious interference or data leakage. It is compatible with common communication protocols such as AES encryption and HTTPS communication. The positioning module obtains the wearer's location and geolocation in real time, which helps to locate the wearer in case of anomalies, enabling remote intervention or emergency rescue. It also supports sharing location permissions with family members or service platforms. Modular and combinable use: Through standardized interface design, each functional module, such as compressor module, battery module, control module, hot and cold air channel, water storage module, etc., is equipped with a unified physical and communication interface, which facilitates plugging and unplugging and combination. It can be used in series, and the air conditioning subsystems of different parts such as hats, collars, cuffs, belts, trouser pockets, and shoe uppers can be connected at the same time to form a whole air conditioning system with linkage control, which is suitable for the need for whole-body temperature control in extreme environments such as high temperature and severe cold. It can be used independently, and a certain part such as the hat or belt module can also work independently. It is suitable for scenarios such as light load and short-term outings, which allows users to flexibly combine modules according to their wearing habits and usage scenarios. This system achieves a comprehensive improvement in the safety, intelligence, and flexibility of portable air conditioning systems, enabling them not only to perform precise temperature control but also to possess advantages such as high stability, wide adaptability to various scenarios, and strong scalability, bringing users a more reliable, more intimate, and more convenient wearable temperature control solution.

The modular layout design of multiple parts covers a wide range of heat dissipation / heat preservation areas: hats, collars, cuffs, trouser pockets, belts, ties, and shoe uppers are all key heat exchange locations of the human body. The distributed installation of air conditioning modules can achieve multi-point temperature control and improve the overall comfort. It can be controlled independently or in conjunction with other components. Each module can operate independently according to user needs, or be managed uniformly by the central control unit to achieve a more precise temperature regulation strategy. Users can freely choose the position of the modules to wear according to the weather, clothing habits and exercise intensity, enhancing the system's adaptability and daily practicality. The outer layer of the clothing can be made of cotton, cloth, leather, synthetic materials, etc., combining waterproof, airproof, heat insulation and wear-resistant properties to adapt to different environmental needs such as outdoor, humid or high temperature environments; the surface of the material is treated with anti-fouling, anti-static and anti-ultraviolet technology to extend the overall service life of the clothing and air conditioning system; flexible materials are used in areas that need to be comfortable against the skin, and reinforced fabrics or sandwich structures are used in load-bearing and heat dissipation areas to improve load-bearing capacity and heat exchange efficiency. The dual-layer ventilation design features an inner layer with close-fitting ventilation, equipped with micropores or guide channels to allow temperature-controlled airflow to directly act on the body, providing precise cool or warm air. The outer layer features an exhaust vent design, with exhaust outlets on the outside of the garment to effectively expel hot air generated during cooling or cold air generated during heating, preventing it from flowing back into the inner layer. Through airflow guiding structures, soft diaphragms, and layered exhaust channels, spatial isolation between hot and cold air channels is achieved, preventing cross-flow of airflow and avoiding contamination or efficiency reduction of comfortable warm air. The rational airflow structure reduces wind resistance and lowers system operating noise, enhancing the user's wearing experience. By distributing small micro-air conditioning modules to various parts of clothing, and combining them with high-performance materials and a double-layer ventilation structure, personalized wearable temperature control is achieved while ensuring the system's safety, comfort, and durability. This fully demonstrates the technological advancement and practical application value of this invention in the field of wearable smart air conditioning systems.

The inner layer uses materials with micropores or a specially designed close-fitting ventilation system to directly guide temperature-controlled cold or hot air to the human body, thereby achieving precise regional cooling or heating. The outer layer has one or more exhaust vents to discharge waste air generated during system operation, such as hot waste air during cooling or cold waste air during heating, ensuring effective separation between the airflow delivered to the human body from the waste air, thus maintaining stable temperature control and improving cooling / heating efficiency. The dual-channel isolation structure is also equipped with a heat insulation device, which can effectively prevent the cooling air and heating air from mixing during the transmission process, ensuring the purity and specificity of the temperature-controlled airflow and improving the performance of the overall temperature control system. When the system temperature exceeds the preset threshold or an electrical abnormality occurs, the heat insulation device can activate the alarm mechanism to promptly remind the user, thereby providing a layer of safety protection for the equipment and the user and reducing the risk of accidents.
[0029] The dual-channel thermal insulation structure design not only ensures that the wearable air conditioning system can accurately and effectively deliver cold / hot air to the parts of the body that need it, but also enhances the safety and stability of the system through thermal insulation and alarm functions, ensuring timely feedback and protective measures in abnormal working conditions, thereby improving user safety and user experience.
