Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobiles, and more particularly relates to a cold and warm cup holder and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] There are currently two mainstream cooling and heating cup holders on the market. One is to transport the cold or hot air from the car air conditioner into the cup holder through the air duct, and use the cold or hot air to cool or heat the mineral water or beverage. This method relies on the operation of the car air conditioner to achieve the cooling and heating functions of the cup holder. When the air conditioner is not turned on, the cooling and heating cup holder cannot achieve the cooling and heating functions. In addition, the distance between the air conditioner and the cooling and heating cup holder is far, resulting in large heat loss. The other method uses the Peltier effect of a semiconductor refrigeration chip to produce a cooling and heating effect, and then transfers the cold and hot energy generated by the semiconductor refrigeration chip to the aluminum cup holder body, and then transmits it to the beverage container through the air inside the cup holder. This method has slow cooling and heating effects and poor results. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following describes preferred embodiments of the present invention in greater detail. Although preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a cup holder for heating and cooling, comprising:

[0033] The cup holder body 1 has a receiving space for placing a beverage container;

[0034] The air duct assembly 3 is a cavity structure, and the cavity of the air duct assembly 3 is connected to the accommodating space through the air outlet 4;

[0035] The semiconductor cooling sheet 5 is arranged outside the cavity of the air duct assembly 3 and can cool and heat on both sides thereof;

[0036] The first heat sink 6 is connected to one side of the semiconductor cooling plate 5 and is disposed inside the cavity of the air duct assembly 3;

[0037] The fan 8 is connected to the air duct assembly 3 .

[0038] Specifically, the semiconductor refrigeration chip 5 utilizes the Peltier effect to achieve both cooling and heating. When the semiconductor refrigeration chip 5 is working in the forward direction, one side generates a low temperature and the other side generates a high temperature. When the semiconductor refrigeration chip 5 is working in the reverse direction, one side generates a high temperature and the other side generates a low temperature. When the semiconductor refrigeration chip 5 is working, one side cools or heats the air in the cavity of the air duct assembly 3 through the first heat sink 6, turning the air in the cavity into a functional gas. The functional gas is accelerated by the fan 8 and blown into the storage space of the cup holder body 1 through the air outlet 4, cooling or heating the beverage container. At the same time, the air outside the cavity exchanges heat with the other side of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 5 to become exhaust gas. In this embodiment, the storage space of the cup holder body 1 is divided into three placement slots and is integrally injection molded using PP and EPDM-TD20 materials. The air duct assembly 3 is snapped onto the cup holder body 1 and sealed with sealant. The fan 8 is fixed to the outer wall of the air duct assembly 3 by screws.

[0039] Furthermore, the hot and cold cup holder also includes:

[0040] The second heat sink 7 is connected to the other side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5 and is arranged outside the cavity of the air duct assembly 3. Specifically, the second heat sink 7 is used for heat transfer to the other side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5, which can accelerate the heat exchange between the other side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5 and the air, thereby improving the refrigeration or heating effect of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5.

[0041] Further, part of the blowing port of the fan 8 is in communication with the cavity of the air duct assembly 3 and is aligned with the first heat sink 6, and the other part of the blowing port is isolated from the cavity of the air duct assembly 3 and is aligned with the second heat sink 7. Specifically, this structure enables the exhaust gas and the functional gas to share one fan 8 for driving, thereby reducing the number of components and making the structure more compact.

[0042] Further, the fan 8 is a silent fan. Specifically, the silent fan can reduce the working noise and vibration, thereby optimizing the user experience.

[0043] Further, the cup holder body 1 is provided with a cup holder claw 2. Specifically, the cup holder claw 2 can better fix the beverage container and keep the beverage container away from the air outlet 4, thereby avoiding the air outlet 4 from being blocked.

[0044] Further, the air outlet 4 is arranged at the lower part of the containing space. Specifically, the air outlet 4 is arranged at the lower part of the containing space, so that the functional gas can be more fully contacted with the beverage container, thereby improving the utilization rate of the functional gas.

[0045] Further, the cold and warm cup holder further comprises:

[0046] The controller 9 is used for controlling the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5 and the fan 8.

[0047] The switch 10 can send a control signal to the controller 9 to switch the working state of the cold and warm cup holder.

[0048] In this embodiment, the cold and warm cup holder has three working states, i.e., standby state, refrigeration state, and heating state. The initial state is the standby state, and the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5 and the fan 8 are not working. Pressing the switch 10 in the standby state enters the refrigeration state, and the controller 9 controls the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5 to work in the forward direction, while the silent fan works to cool the beverage container. Pressing the switch 10 in the refrigeration state enters the heating state, and the controller 9 controls the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5 to work in the reverse direction, while the silent fan works to heat the beverage container. Pressing the switch 10 in the heating state enters the standby state again, and the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5 and the fan 8 stop working. This cycle realizes the switching of the working state of the cold and warm cup holder.

[0049] Further, the cold and warm cup holder further comprises:

[0050] The status indicator is used to display the working status of the cup holder. Specifically, the user can understand the current working status through the status indicator, provide a basis for operation, and avoid misoperation.

[0051] Furthermore, the status indicator is a plurality of indicator lights of different colors, each of which corresponds to a different working state of the cup holder. In this embodiment, the indicator lights are green, blue, and red, corresponding to the standby state, cooling state, and heating state, respectively.

[0052] The utility model also provides a car, characterized by comprising:

[0053] Car body;

[0054] The hot and cold cup holder of the utility model is installed on the automobile body.

[0055] Specifically, the cooling and heating cup holder of the car is cooled and heated by the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 5, does not rely on the operation of the car air conditioner, and uses gas as the heat exchange medium, so the cooling and heating effects are good.

[0056] While various embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above description is intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive, and not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
