It is widely used in medical training, prosthetic development, robotics and other fields. Artificial skin in related technologies is usually heated by electric heating wires to make the artificial skin reach a temperature similar to that of the human body, thereby simulating the sensory experience of real skin; however, the electric heating wires in related technologies cannot be cooled quickly after heating, resulting in the inability to quickly adjust the temperature of the artificial skin, which greatly reduces the authenticity of the artificial skin in simulating the feeling of real skin.
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In order to solve the above problems, according to one aspect of the present application, an embodiment of the present application provides a temperature regulating device for regulating the temperature of an artificial skin 1000, wherein the artificial skin 1000 has a touch surface 1010 and an installation back surface 1020 arranged opposite to each other; the temperature regulating device comprises a first regulating part 100 and a second regulating part 200, wherein the first regulating part 100 comprises a first pipe 110 for providing a flow space for a first liquid, the first pipe 110 is installed on the installation back surface 1020, and is used to exchange heat between the first liquid and the artificial skin 1000; the second regulating part 200 comprises a second pipe 210, the second pipe 210 is located on one side of the first pipe 110, and is used to provide a flow space for a second liquid, the temperature of the second liquid is lower than the temperature of the first liquid, the second pipe 210 is installed on the installation back surface 1020, and is used to exchange heat between the second liquid and the artificial skin 1000.
[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the simulated skin 1000 is usually made of silicone, the touch surface 1010 is the surface that the user directly touches, and the shape and material of the simulated skin 1000 are determined according to actual needs, which are common knowledge of those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated in detail here; the first pipe 110 is made of a good thermal conductive material, the first liquid can flow in the first pipe 110, the number of the first pipe 110 is usually one, and a part of the structure of the first pipe 110 is fixedly installed on the back side 1020 of the installation, in other embodiments, the number of the first pipe 110 can also be multiple; the first liquid is usually water, in other embodiments, the first liquid can also be a liquid with high specific heat capacity and good thermal conductivity; the second pipe 210 is made of a good thermal conductive material, the second liquid can flow in the second pipe 210, the number of the second pipe 210 is usually one, and a part of the structure of the second pipe 210 is fixedly installed on the back side 1020 of the installation, in other embodiments, the number of the second pipe 210 can also be multiple; the second liquid is usually water, in other embodiments, the second liquid can also be a liquid with high specific heat capacity and good thermal conductivity. In addition, the first pipe 110 is a bent pipe, and the second pipe 210 is also a bent pipe; in another embodiment, a part of the structure of the first pipe 110 and a part of the structure of the second pipe 210 can also be interlaced and woven together to form a woven structure; in another embodiment, the first pipe 110 has a recessed area, and the second pipe 210 has a protruding portion, which is inserted into the recessed area to reduce the overall volume of the first pipe 110 and the second pipe 210. The above design is conducive to the rapid adjustment of the overall temperature of the artificial skin 1000.
[0037] When the temperature regulating device of the present application is used to heat up the artificial skin 1000, the first liquid is firstly made to flow in the first pipe 110, and the second liquid is not made to flow in the second pipe 210. At this time, the heat of the first liquid itself is transferred to the artificial skin 1000 through the first pipe 110, so that the artificial skin 1000 is quickly heated up. Since the temperature of the second liquid is lower than that of the first liquid, in this case, when the artificial skin 1000 needs to be quickly cooled down, the first liquid is firstly made to stop flowing in the first pipe 110, and the second liquid is made to flow in the second pipe 210. At this time, the second liquid is transferred to the artificial skin 1000 through the second pipe 110. The first pipe 210 absorbs the heat from the simulated skin 1000 so that the simulated skin 1000 can be cooled down quickly. In addition, the temperature regulating system of the present application can also simultaneously make the first liquid flow in the first pipe 110 and the second liquid flow in the second pipe 210 so that the simulated skin 1000 can maintain a constant temperature. By adopting the temperature regulating device of the present application, not only can the simulated skin 1000 be heated up quickly, but also can be cooled down quickly, so that the temperature of the simulated skin 1000 can be adjusted quickly, which greatly improves the authenticity of the simulated skin 1000 in simulating the feeling of real skin.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first regulating part 100 further includes a first liquid storage tank 120, in which a first liquid is stored, and a liquid inlet end and a liquid outlet end of the first pipe 110 are both connected to the first liquid storage tank 120; the second regulating part 200 further includes a second liquid storage tank 220, which is located on one side of the first liquid storage tank 120, in which a second liquid is stored, and a liquid inlet end and a liquid outlet end of the second pipe 210 are both connected to the second liquid storage tank 220.
[0039] In this embodiment, the first liquid storage tank 120 is generally a water tank, and the first liquid storage tank 120 is generally fixedly mounted on other fixed components, such as a mounting frame inside a robot or a mounting frame of other application objects; when the first liquid flows, the first liquid in the first liquid storage tank 120 enters the first pipe 110 through the liquid inlet end of the first pipe 110, and the first liquid in the first pipe 110 enters the first liquid storage tank 120 through the liquid outlet end of the first pipe 110; the use of the first liquid storage tank 120 and the first pipe 110 in the present application is conducive to the recycling of the first liquid, which not only reduces the use cost, but also improves the portability of the first liquid storage tank 120 and the first pipe 110.
[0040] The second liquid storage tank 220 is usually a water tank, and the second liquid storage tank 220 is usually fixedly mounted on other fixed components, such as fixedly mounted on a mounting frame inside a robot or fixedly mounted on a mounting frame of other application objects; when the second liquid flows, the second liquid in the second liquid storage tank 220 enters the second pipe 210 through the liquid inlet end of the second pipe 210, and the second liquid in the second pipe 210 enters the second liquid storage tank 220 through the liquid outlet end of the second pipe 210; the use of the second liquid storage tank 220 and the second pipe 210 in the present application is conducive to the recycling of the second liquid, which not only reduces the cost of use, but also improves the portability of the second liquid storage tank 220 and the second pipe 210.
[0041] In addition, to facilitate the first liquid in the first liquid storage tank 120 to flow smoothly into the first pipe 110, the liquid inlet end of the first pipe 110 is usually located below the liquid outlet end of the first pipe 110; to facilitate the second liquid in the second liquid storage tank 220 to flow smoothly into the second pipe 210, the liquid inlet end of the second pipe 210 is usually located below the liquid outlet end of the second pipe 210.

[0043] In this embodiment, the temperature adjustment element 300 is generally a refrigeration semiconductor, also known as a semiconductor refrigeration sheet or a thermoelectric refrigeration sheet. In other embodiments, the temperature adjustment element 300 can also be other devices that utilize the thermoelectric effect.
[0044] When the temperature regulating member 300 in the present application is used, the hot surface 310 will transfer heat to the first liquid storage tank 120, and the first liquid storage tank 120 will transfer heat to the first liquid, and the temperature of the first liquid will increase accordingly; the cold surface 320 will absorb heat from the second liquid storage tank 220, and the second liquid storage tank 220 will absorb heat from the second liquid, and the temperature of the second liquid will decrease accordingly. The use of the temperature regulating element 300 in the present application can not only increase the temperature of the first liquid and decrease the temperature of the second liquid at the same time, thereby facilitating the rapid adjustment of the temperature of the simulated skin 1000. At the same time, according to the law of conservation of energy, the heat transmitted from the hot surface 310 to the first liquid storage tank 120 is roughly equal to the energy consumed by the temperature regulating element 300 plus the heat absorbed by the cold surface 320 from the second liquid storage tank 220. Therefore, the setting of the temperature regulating element 300 also greatly reduces the energy required to be consumed by the temperature regulating device, thereby reducing the use cost of the temperature regulating device. In addition, the use of the temperature regulating element 300 in the present application can also preheat the first liquid and pre-cool the second liquid, thereby greatly shortening the time required to adjust the temperature of the simulated skin 1000.

[0058] In this embodiment, the third heat-conducting connector 800 is generally a viscous heat-conducting glue. The third heat-conducting connector 800 not only plays a connecting role, but also improves the connection strength between the first pipe 110 and the artificial skin 1000, and also improves the heat conduction efficiency between the first pipe 110 and the artificial skin 1000; the fourth heat-conducting connector 900 is generally a viscous heat-conducting glue. The fourth heat-conducting connector 900 not only plays a connecting role, but also improves the connection strength between the second pipe 210 and the artificial skin 1000, and also improves the heat conduction efficiency between the second pipe 210 and the artificial skin 1000. In addition, in order to achieve synchronous temperature changes in most areas of the artificial skin 1000, the third heat-conducting connector 800 and the fourth heat-conducting connector 900 completely cover the installation back surface 1020 together. Figure 5 The dotted line in FIG. 8 is the boundary line between the third heat-conducting connecting member 800 and the fourth heat-conducting connecting member 900 .
[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 5According to another aspect of the present application, an embodiment of the present application further provides a simulated skin system, which includes a simulated skin 1000 and the above-mentioned temperature regulating device. The simulated skin 1000 includes a touch surface 1010 and a mounting back surface 1020 that are relatively arranged. The first pipe 110 and the second pipe 210 are both installed on the mounting back surface 1020.
[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the simulated skin 1000 is generally made of silicone, the touch surface 1010 is the surface that the user directly touches, and the shape and material of the simulated skin 1000 are determined according to actual needs, which are common knowledge of technicians in this field and will not be elaborated in detail here.
[0061] When the temperature regulating device of the present application is used to heat up the artificial skin 1000, the first liquid is firstly made to flow in the first pipe 110, and the second liquid is not made to flow in the second pipe 210. At this time, the heat of the first liquid itself is transferred to the artificial skin 1000 through the first pipe 110, so that the artificial skin 1000 is quickly heated up. Since the temperature of the second liquid is lower than that of the first liquid, in this case, when the artificial skin 1000 needs to be quickly cooled down, the first liquid is firstly made to stop flowing in the first pipe 110, and the second liquid is made to flow in the second pipe 210. At this time, the second liquid is transferred to the artificial skin 1000 through the second pipe 110. The first pipe 210 absorbs the heat from the simulated skin 1000 so that the simulated skin 1000 can be cooled down quickly. In addition, the temperature regulating system of the present application can also simultaneously make the first liquid flow in the first pipe 110 and the second liquid flow in the second pipe 210 so that the simulated skin 1000 can maintain a constant temperature. By adopting the temperature regulating device of the present application, not only can the simulated skin 1000 be heated up quickly, but also can be cooled down quickly, so that the temperature of the simulated skin 1000 can be adjusted quickly, which greatly improves the authenticity of the simulated skin 1000 in simulating the feeling of real skin.
[0062] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment, the artificial skin 1000 contains a thermochromic body, so that the color of the artificial skin 1000 can change when the temperature of the artificial skin 1000 changes.
[0063] In this embodiment, the thermochromic body is generally a liquid crystal compound, an organic dye, a metal halide or a semiconductor nanoparticle, etc., which can change color when the temperature changes. When the temperature of the artificial skin 1000 changes, the color of the artificial skin 1000 will also change accordingly; by using the thermochromic body in this application, the artificial skin 1000 can show different colors at different temperatures, thereby improving the visual effect of the artificial skin 1000 and improving the authenticity of the artificial skin 1000 in simulating real skin.
[0064] In summary, the implementation of the temperature regulating device and the simulated skin system provided in this embodiment has at least the following beneficial technical effects: when the temperature regulating device of the present application is used to heat up the simulated skin 1000, the first liquid is firstly made to flow in the first pipe 110, and the second liquid is not made to flow in the second pipe 210. At this time, the heat of the first liquid itself is transferred to the simulated skin 1000 through the first pipe 110, so that the simulated skin 1000 is quickly heated up; because the temperature of the second liquid is lower than the temperature of the first liquid, in this case, when the simulated skin 1000 needs to be cooled down quickly, the first liquid is firstly made to stop flowing in the first pipe 110, and the second liquid is made to flow in the second pipe 210. 210, at this time, the second liquid will absorb the heat on the simulated skin 1000 through the second pipe 210, so that the simulated skin 1000 can be cooled down quickly; in addition, the temperature regulation system of the present application can also simultaneously make the first liquid flow in the first pipe 110 and the second liquid flow in the second pipe 210, so that the simulated skin 1000 can achieve a constant temperature; by adopting the temperature regulation device of the present application, not only can the simulated skin 1000 be heated up quickly, but also can be cooled down quickly, so that the temperature of the simulated skin 1000 can be quickly adjusted, which greatly improves the authenticity of the simulated skin 1000 in simulating the feeling of real skin.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
