[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides an adjustment structure, including a temperature adjustment module 1, a heat-conducting layer 2, a temperature sensor 3, and a control unit 4. The temperature regulation module 1 is used to regulate the temperature. It consists of multiple semiconductor cooling and heating chips 11. When current passes through the semiconductor chip, the Peltier effect occurs. Depending on the direction of the current, one side of the semiconductor chip absorbs heat, while the other side releases heat, thus achieving the cooling or heating function. By precisely controlling the magnitude and direction of the input current, the heat or cold generated by the temperature regulation module 1 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby accurately controlling the temperature. The heat-conducting layer 2 is placed on the surface of the temperature regulation module 1 to conduct the heat or cold generated by the temperature regulation module 1. The heat-conducting layer 2 is made of a material with a high thermal conductivity, such as copper alloy or graphite composite material. These materials have excellent thermal conductivity and can quickly and evenly transfer the temperature, thereby effectively avoiding local overheating or overcooling of the surface. Multiple temperature sensors 3 are evenly distributed on the surface of the temperature regulation module 1 to monitor the temperature of the temperature regulation module 1 in real time and transmit the temperature signal to the control unit 4. The control unit 4 receives the signal from the temperature sensors 3 and controls the working state of the temperature regulation module 1 according to the preset temperature value to ensure that the temperature is always kept within the preset comfortable range.

[0023] It should be noted that the multiple semiconductor cooling and heating elements 11 can be arranged in various ways according to the structural characteristics and functional requirements of the car armrest, such as matrix arrangement, surrounding arrangement, and zone arrangement, in order to achieve a more efficient and uniform temperature regulation effect.

[0024] Specifically, in one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the temperature regulation module 1 also includes a cooling fan 12 and a heat sink 13, which are disposed on one side of the semiconductor cooling heating element 11. The operation logic of the cooling fan 12 is related to the working state of the semiconductor cooling heating element 11. When the semiconductor cooling heating element 11 starts its heating function, a large amount of heat is generated at its cold end. At this time, the cooling fan 12 automatically increases its speed according to the temperature signal fed back by the temperature sensor 3, accelerating the airflow. The strong airflow can quickly remove the heat generated by the semiconductor cooling heating element 11, preventing the cooling and heating efficiency from decreasing due to heat accumulation. When the semiconductor cooling heating element 11 is cooling, the cooling fan 12 will also promptly discharge the heat generated at the hot end to maintain the internal temperature balance of the module and ensure that the semiconductor cooling heating element 11 is always in the optimal operating temperature range. The heat sink 13 is attached to the heating surface of the semiconductor cooling heating element 11 to increase the contact area between the semiconductor cooling heating element 11 and the air. When the airflow generated by the cooling fan 12 passes over the heat sink 13, the heat sink 13 can efficiently dissipate the heat conducted from the semiconductor cooling heating element 11 to the surrounding environment, further enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0025] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the control unit 4 includes a controller 41, a temperature setting module 42, and a power drive module 43. The controller 41 is connected to the temperature setting module 42, the power drive module 43, and the temperature sensor 3, respectively. In actual operation, the controller 41 monitors the temperature data fed back by the temperature sensor 3 in real time. Once it detects a deviation between the current temperature and the target temperature preset by the temperature setting module 42, it immediately calculates the required adjustment parameters and sends the control signal to the power drive module 43. The power drive module 43 precisely adjusts the electrical energy input to the temperature regulation module 1 according to the received signal, driving the semiconductor cooling and heating element 11 to perform cooling or heating. At the same time, the cooling fan 12 and the heat sink 13 work together to ensure that the temperature regulation process is stable and efficient until the handrail temperature reaches the target temperature value set by the user and remains stable.

[0026] Furthermore, the adjustment structure also includes a wireless communication module 5, which is connected to the controller 41. The wireless communication module 5 can use communication technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or cellular networks to adapt to different application scenarios and user needs. It is used to receive temperature adjustment commands sent by external devices and to feed back temperature information to external devices.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments, as an improvement, the control unit 4 is integrated into a frame 6. The frame 6 is made of insulating material, which ensures the electrical safety of the system while providing reliable physical support and protection for the internal components. The surface of the frame 6 is provided with a mounting interface 61 for external connection. The mounting interface 61 can take various forms, such as magnetic or embedded, to achieve a stable connection with the external device structure. In addition, the mounting interface 61 is also provided with an electrical connection port to enable the electrical components inside the frame 6 to connect with external devices such as the vehicle power supply and central control system, ensuring stable and reliable signal transmission, while facilitating later maintenance and repair.

[0028] The frame 6 is also provided with heat dissipation holes 62, which are arranged in an array and in a honeycomb or matrix pattern on the surface of the corresponding heat dissipation area of ​​the frame 6. This arrangement maximizes the ventilation area while ensuring the structural strength of the frame 6. In actual operation, after the cooling fan 12 is started, the forced convection airflow will carry the heat on the heat sink 13 and quickly discharge it to the outside of the frame 6 through the heat dissipation holes 62, avoiding accumulation inside the frame 6.

[0029] Furthermore, to prevent the heat or cold from the temperature regulation module from affecting the normal operation of the control unit 4, the regulation structure also includes a heat insulation layer 7. The heat insulation layer 7 is placed between the temperature regulation module 1 and the control unit 4, and by blocking heat conduction and heat radiation, it ensures that the control unit 4 is always in a suitable operating temperature environment. The heat insulation layer 7 can be customized according to the shape contour of the temperature regulation module 1 and the control unit 4, and adopts an embedded fitting installation. Its edges are provided with elastic sealing strips, which can tightly fill the gaps during installation to prevent heat from leaking from the edges. At the same time, the heat insulation layer 7 also has reserved cable passage holes to facilitate the passage of electrical connection wires between modules, and the passage holes are sealed with high-temperature resistant silicone sealing rings, which not only ensures the convenience of cable connection, but also maintains the overall heat insulation performance of the heat insulation layer 7.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5This invention also provides a car armrest, including an armrest body 8 and any of the aforementioned adjustment structures disposed therein; the armrest body 8 adopts an ergonomic design and has a hollow internal structure to accommodate the components of the adjustment structure; the surface of the armrest body 8 is provided with a temperature conduction surface 81 that contacts the heat-conducting layer 2 of the adjustment structure, the temperature conduction surface 81 is made of highly thermally conductive silicone material or aluminum alloy sheet, and is used to transfer the temperature of the adjustment structure to the driver and passengers; the armrest body 8 is provided with a temperature adjustment button 82, the temperature adjustment button 82 is connected to the control unit 4 of the adjustment structure, when the user sets the target temperature through the temperature adjustment button 82, the control unit 4 calculates the temperature difference based on the temperature data fed back by the current temperature sensor 3 and controls the temperature adjustment module 1 to work; the armrest body 8 is provided with a power supply module 83, which can be a rechargeable lithium battery pack or a vehicle power adapter to power the adjustment structure.
