[0027] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention.
[0028] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.
[0029] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.
[0030] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.
[0031] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.
[0032] Example 1:
[0033] This embodiment provides a detachable heating element for use in work clothes, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1-3 As shown. In this embodiment, two heating elements 1 are used.
[0034] The heating element 1 has a five-layer structure, consisting of a heat-locking layer 11, an encapsulation layer 14, a heating layer 13, an encapsulation layer 14, and an insulation layer 12, from top to bottom.
[0035] The heat-locking layer 11 is made of animal hair fiber fabric with a fiber radius ranging from 15-50 μm. The fabric employs a double-layer heterogeneous porous structure during weaving, creating a hollow structure within the fibers to trap air. Specifically, the heat-locking layer 11 consists of a tightly structured first fabric layer 111 and a relatively loosely structured second fabric layer 112. The looser fiber structure of the second fabric layer 112 facilitates heat transfer. The first fabric layer 111 is located above the second fabric layer 112. The air layer 113 between the first and second fabric layers 111 and the tightly structured first fabric layer 111 effectively traps air and heat, reducing heat flow to other non-heat-generating areas and providing a more lasting warm feeling.
[0036] The two encapsulation layers 14 use the same insulating encapsulation material. The insulating encapsulation material is a stretchable elastic cloth film material, which is composed of two or more films sandwiching a mesh. It contains organic resin and high thermal conductivity inorganic filler. The organic resin provides adhesive properties, and the high thermal conductivity inorganic filler improves thermal conductivity. The encapsulation layers 14 are respectively located below the heat-locking layer 11 and above the heat-insulating layer 12, and completely wrap the heating layer 13. It is also waterproof.
[0037] The heating layer 13 is made of one of the following: a novel semiconductor heating material, a polymer heating material, or a graphene heating material.
[0038] The insulation layer 12 is an insulation material with insulation function, such as needle cotton, silk floss, or cotton, and is set below the encapsulation layer 14.
[0039] The fixing component 6 includes a sub-fixing component and a female fixing component. The sub-fixing component is a sub-layer in the fixing layer of the mother-molecular fixing layer and is set on the bottom surface of the insulation layer 12. The female fixing component is a mother layer in the fixing layer of the mother-molecular fixing layer. It is the napped side of the nylon hook and loop fastener and is fixed to the inner surface of the work clothes 3. It cooperates with the sub-fixing component to realize the detachable connection between the heating element 1 and the work clothes 3. For example, with nylon hook and loop fastener, the fine and soft fiber side is sewn as the sub-fixing component under the heating strip insulation layer 12, and the hooked and bristled side is fixed to the clothing as the female fixing component.
[0040] At least two heating elements 1 are connected in series via a connecting wire 4. At least a portion of the connecting wire 4 is equipped with a telescopic member 5, which has an extendable and retractable structure, allowing the length of the connecting wire between the two heating elements 1 to be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of clothing and to allow the heating elements 1 to be installed in different positions on the clothing as needed. To power the heating elements 1, one end of the connecting wire 4 is equipped with a USB port 7 for connecting to an external power source, such as a power bank. Furthermore, a controller 2 is also provided on the connecting wire 4 to control the operating status of the heating elements 1, such as adjusting the heating temperature or switching the heating function on and off.
[0041] Example 2:
[0042] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the fastening component uses snap-on connectors instead of nylon Velcro.
[0043] The female fastener is a protruding buckle on the bottom surface of the insulation layer 12, and the male fastener is a recessed buckle on the inner surface of the garment. The protruding and recessed buckles cooperate with each other to achieve detachable fixing of the heating element 1.
[0044] Snap-on fasteners offer the advantages of secure connection and ease of use, making them a viable alternative to nylon Velcro.
[0045] Example 3:
[0046] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the telescopic device adopts a folding telescopic structure.
[0047] The folding and telescopic structure can be, for example, a structure similar to an accordion bellows. The connecting line 4 is arranged in a folding manner in the structure similar to an accordion bellows. The length of the connecting line 4 can be adjusted by the extension and contraction of the bellows structure.
[0048] Example 4:
[0049] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the telescopic device adopts a winding telescopic structure.
[0050] The retractable winding structure, for example, can employ a spring tape measure. The connecting wire 4 is wound around a spring mechanism. Under normal conditions, the connecting wire 4 is partially or completely wound inside the spring mechanism, keeping it at a shorter length. When it's necessary to lengthen the connecting wire 4, it can be pulled to overcome the spring force, thus adjusting its length. Upon release, the spring force automatically rewinds the connecting wire 4 back to its shorter state. This retractable winding structure keeps the connecting wire simpler and prevents excessively long wires from affecting the aesthetics of the garment.
[0051] In some embodiments, there are also alternatives, including:
[0052] Alternatives for fastening components: In addition to nylon Velcro and snaps, other detachable connection methods such as zippers, buttons, and magnetic closures can be used as fastening components.
[0053] Alternatives to expansion joints: Expansion joints can take various forms, such as spring-loaded expansion joints and sliding rail expansion joints, or use adjustable-length connecting lines, such as segmented connecting lines.
[0054] Alternatives for thermal insulation materials: In addition to wool fibers, thermal insulation layers can also use other natural or synthetic fibers with good warmth retention and breathability, such as rabbit hair, camel hair, hollow polyester fibers, etc.
[0055] Alternative materials for the heating layer: Different types of heating materials can be selected for the heating layer according to the needs, such as carbon fiber heating wire, metal heating wire, etc.
[0056] Improvements to power connection: Wireless power supply could be considered to further enhance the comfort and aesthetics of the garments.
[0057] In summary, the innovation and advantages of this utility model's technical solution are as follows:
[0058] Detachable structure design: The heating element can be detached through the mother-and-child fastener, which solves the problems of limited application scenarios and inconvenient cleaning of traditional heating clothing, and improves the practicality and lifespan of the clothing.
[0059] Adjustable connecting cable: The heating element is connected by a telescopic connector, which can adapt to different sizes of clothing and the installation position of the heating element, improving versatility and installation convenience.
[0060] Multi-layer high-efficiency thermal insulation structure: The multi-layer structure design of the heat-locking layer, the encapsulation layer and the thermal insulation layer, as well as the special fiber material and structure of the heat-locking layer, effectively improves the thermal insulation performance and thermal efficiency of the heating element.
[0061] Structural optimization: The use of novel semiconductor heating materials, polymer heating materials or graphene heating materials, elastic encapsulation materials, and animal wool fibers improves the performance, comfort, and durability of the heating element. The encapsulation layer simultaneously provides insulation, thermal conductivity, and encapsulation protection, resulting in a more compact and optimized structure.
[0062] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
