Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of gloves, in particular to an intelligent electrically heated glove. Background Art

[0002] Gloves are commonly used to protect the hands and can be made from a variety of materials. Warm gloves for use in cold environments are generally made from materials such as wool and leather, and can be equipped with a windproof layer or filled with thermal insulation to improve cold resistance. However, these gloves have limited cold resistance, are relatively thick and heavy, and are inconvenient to wear. With the development of electronic technology, electrically heated gloves have appeared on the market. These gloves have internal heating elements that are powered by batteries to provide continuous warmth to the hands. Currently, some more intelligent electrically heated gloves also have temperature sensors and temperature control devices. When the hand temperature is low or high, the temperature sensor controls the temperature control device to turn the heating switch on or off.

[0003] The fingers, especially the fingertips, are the furthest from the heart and have relatively poor blood circulation. They are therefore most susceptible to freezing in cold environments. Therefore, to maintain hand warmth, the fingers require more external heat than the palms. However, existing electrically heated gloves have the following problems: First, the temperature sensor is located on the palm and cannot promptly reflect the temperature of the fingertips, thus preventing the fingers from receiving timely and effective protection. Second, the heating element is not partitioned. When the switch is on, the entire glove is heated, failing to provide the required heat to the palm and fingers separately. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide an intelligent electric heating glove, which uses finger temperature as the basis for heating adjustment, and the heating unit is divided into zones and levels to achieve the purpose of precise heating of different parts of the hand.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: an intelligent electric heating glove, including a glove body, a heating unit, a sensing unit, an intelligent controller, and a power supply. The heating unit includes heating elements located in the finger heating area, the palm heating area, and the back of the hand heating area; the sensing unit includes temperature sensors located in the fingertip sensing area and the palm sensing area; the intelligent controller is communicatively connected with the heating unit and the sensing unit, and the intelligent controller, the heating element, and the temperature sensor are electrically connected to the power supply.

[0006] As a limitation of the present invention: the fingertip sensing area is set on any number of fingers including the middle finger.

[0007] As a limitation of the present invention: the temperature sensor is a contact temperature sensor, and the sensing contact of the temperature sensor is directed toward the hand inside the glove and extends out of the glove to contact the hand.

[0008] As a limitation of the present invention, the heating element is in the form of a flexible wire or a thin film heating sheet.

[0009] As a limitation of the present invention: the glove body comprises at least an outer layer and an inner layer, and the heating unit is arranged between the outer layer and the inner layer.

[0010] As a limitation of the present invention: finger touch screen components are fixedly arranged at the pads of the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the glove, and a wear-resistant layer is fixedly arranged at the palm of the glove.

[0011] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows: based on the physiological phenomenon that the finger temperature is lower than the palm temperature, the temperature change of the fingertip sensing area is used as the basis for whether to heat and adjust the heating area, which can timely reflect the temperature of the finger parts with the lowest body temperature and most susceptible to frostbite and effectively protect them; the heating unit is arranged in zones, which is different from the traditional overall heating method. It can heat the fingers, palms and backs of the hands separately according to the degree of coldness, provide different heat requirements for different parts, and is more practical; after putting on the gloves, turning on the power switch can realize intelligent heating, without the need for frequent gear adjustment and switch operation.

[0012] In summary, the utility model has a simple structure and strong practicality. It performs zone heating based on the temperature of the fingertips and is suitable for various occasions such as outdoor sports and labor in winter. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The preferred embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the intelligent electric heating gloves described herein are preferred embodiments and are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and do not constitute a limitation of the present invention. Example

[0018] This embodiment Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a smart heating glove includes a glove body, a heating unit, a sensing unit, an intelligent controller 1, and a power supply 2, wherein the intelligent controller 1 is communicatively connected with the heating unit and the sensing unit, and the intelligent controller 1, the heating element, the temperature sensor and the power supply 2 are electrically connected.

[0019] The figure shows the structure of the right hand glove, and the left hand structure can be set symmetrically. The heating unit includes heating elements located in the finger heating area 31, the palm heating area 32, and the back of the hand heating area 33. In order to improve wearing comfort, the heating element is selected from any of the flexible heating wires or thin film heating sheets, such as: carbon fiber heating wires, graphene heating sheets, flexible PI heating sheets, etc. These materials have certain flexibility and strong bending resistance. The specific ones can be selected according to different usage scenarios. The heating method of the heating unit is to heat in several heating gears, and each heating gear corresponds to a different heating zone. In this embodiment, the heating gear is divided into 3 gears: the first gear is for heating the finger heating area 31, the second gear is for heating the finger heating area 31 and the palm heating area 32 at the same time, and the third gear is for heating the finger heating area 31, the palm heating area 32, and the back of the hand heating area 33 at the same time.

[0020] The sensing unit includes temperature sensors 4 located in the fingertip sensing area and the palm sensing area. Specifically, the fingertip sensing area is located near the end of the fingertip, and the palm sensing area is located in the center of the palm. To accurately measure the hand temperature, temperature sensor 4 is selected as a contact temperature sensor. The sensing contact of temperature sensor 4 is pointed toward the hand inside the glove and extended out of the glove to contact the hand, thereby monitoring the temperature of the corresponding part in real time. According to research, the temperature of the back of the human hand is higher than that of the palm, which is higher than that of the fingers. The temperature difference between the fingers and the palm is about 1°C. Therefore, in cold environments, the fingers are the most susceptible to frostbite compared to other parts of the body, such as the palm. In this embodiment, temperature sensors 4 are provided on the fingertips. The fingertip sensing area can provide real-time feedback on the temperature of the fingertips, and the temperature measured by the fingertip sensing area is used as the basis for whether to apply heating. Specifically, the heating unit's heating levels correspond to different temperatures in the fingertip sensing area. When the fingertip sensing area's temperature ranges from 25°C to 30°C, the heating unit's first level is activated, and the intelligent controller 1 activates the finger heating area 31. When the fingertip sensing area's temperature ranges from 15°C to 24°C, the heating unit's second level activates the finger heating area 31 and the palm heating area 32. When the fingertip sensing area's temperature falls below 15°C, the heating unit's third level activates the finger heating area 31, the palm heating area 32, and the back of the hand heating area 33. The temperature ranges corresponding to the heating levels can fluctuate slightly to provide targeted warmth to the hands. Among all the fingers, the temperature of the tip of the middle finger is usually slightly lower. The fingertip sensing area should be set on any of the fingers including the middle finger. Generally, the middle finger and thumb, or the middle finger, thumb, and little finger can be selected. In this embodiment, temperature sensors 4 are set on all five fingers. When the temperature sensors 4 are set on multiple fingers including the middle finger, the sensed temperature of the above-mentioned finger sensing area is based on the lowest sensed temperature.

[0021] When the intelligent controller 1 receives feedback from the fingertip sensing area that the lowest temperature is higher than 32°C (this temperature can be adjusted to 31-35°C according to its own situation) and the palm sensing area receives feedback from the lowest temperature is higher than 35°C (this temperature can be adjusted to 32-36°C according to its own situation), the current heating function is disconnected and the device enters the standby state.

[0022] The glove body should consist of at least an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer is typically made of windproof or waterproof material, while the inner layer is a soft lining. The heating unit is located between the outer and inner layers. Depending on the usage environment, an additional insulating layer filled with warming material may also be added. The zoned and stepped heating method employed by this utility model provides timely and targeted heating to the hands, so both the outer and inner layers can be made of lightweight, thin materials.

[0023] In order to improve practicality, finger touch screen parts are fixed on the pads of the thumb, index finger and middle finger of the glove, and a wear-resistant layer is fixed on the palm of the glove.

[0024] When using this embodiment, the glove is put on and the power supply 2 is turned on. The temperature measured in the fingertip sensing area is fed back to the intelligent controller 1. The intelligent controller 1 then controls the heating unit to activate the corresponding heating level according to the set temperature range. As the temperature measured in the fingertip sensing area changes, the corresponding heating level is adjusted accordingly to maintain the temperature inside the glove within a suitable range. The user can also adjust the temperature threshold of the heating level according to their needs to keep the temperature within their comfortable range. The heating level automatically adjusts during use, eliminating the need to frequently operate switches and levels.
