Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of packaging or clothing worn on the human body, and in particular to a wearable temperature control device. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, as the number of extreme weather events continues to increase, the demand for wearable air and temperature regulation devices (such as cooling wear) is growing. Particularly for people who work or do activities in extremely hot conditions, as well as outdoor sports enthusiasts and those who go out in the summer, a relatively cheap, lightweight, effective and versatile wearable cooling product has been expected for a long time.

[0003] Conventional wearable air and temperature control devices mainly include air-conditioned clothing equipped with a fan, water-cooled backpacks (vests) that cool by circulating cooling water, vests (or backpacks) that cool by an electronic method using a Peltier element, etc. Currently, many wearable air and temperature control devices are generally expensive and have poor actual usage effects, for example, the efficiency of the cooling and heating effect is relatively low, the usage time is short, the preparation work before and after use is complicated, or the usage scenes are limited, etc., and they cannot provide users with a sufficient temperature control feeling and cannot meet the above general needs of users.

[0004] Among them, the working principle of air-conditioned clothing equipped with a fan is limited to evaporating sweat and achieving a cooling effect by ventilating a large volume of air, which has the following disadvantages: 1. Sweating itself drains the user's physical strength, and the hot air felt when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius is uncomfortable and increases the user's sense of irritation; 2. The use of a large volume of air from the fan produces a lot of noise; 3. The air blowing causes the clothing to expand, affecting the appearance and interfering with movement to some extent; 4. It cannot be used in conjunction with a fall prevention belt, and when carrying luggage or sitting in a chair with a backrest (for example, the seat of a work vehicle such as a crane, forklift, bulldozer, tractor, etc.), the air duct is blocked, which has a significant impact on the usage results, and it cannot be used with the user's everyday clothes, etc.

[0005] Conventional wearable temperature control devices also use a method of circulating cooling water to lower the temperature (e.g., water-cooled backpacks, vests), but they also have the following disadvantages: 1. The usage time is short, and if there is no refrigerant, it becomes completely unusable; 2. The contact area of ​​the cooling tube is small and the cooling area is concentrated, resulting in a large temperature difference between different parts of the body; 3. It is easy to cause condensation, which causes strong physical discomfort.

[0006] The disadvantages of electronic temperature-lowering vests (or backpacks) using Peltier elements are: 1. They are expensive; 2. Their usage time is short, and they require large-capacity rechargeable batteries to continue working; 3. The area is too small to provide sufficient temperature regulation effect.

[0007] Overall, while there have been some notable advances in the field of wearable air and temperature regulating garments, challenges remain. Potential future developments include improved designs for lower cost, wider range of applications, and better usage outcomes. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0040] In order to more clearly show the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the embodiments and drawings. Here, the outline embodiments and description of the present invention are for the purpose of elucidating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0041] It should be noted here that in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, the drawings only show structures and / or process steps closely related to the solution of the present invention, and omit other details less relevant to the present invention.

[0042] It should be noted that when the term "comprises" is used in this specification, it refers to the presence of a feature, element, step or module, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, steps or modules.

[0043] It should be noted here that unless otherwise specified, the term "connection" in this specification includes not only direct connection but also indirect connection via an intermediate.

[0044] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, in which the same reference numerals indicate the same or similar components or steps.

[0045] The present invention provides a wearable temperature control device, the main purpose of which is to improve the physical comfort of workers (for special work, outdoor work, outdoor activities, etc.), improve the efficiency of outdoor work, prevent personal injury caused by hot / cold environments, and provide comfortable microenvironments and working conditions.

[0046] In some embodiments, the wearable temperature control device may include a wearing body, as shown in Fig. 1. The wearing body is attached to the user's body by a certain self-structure or an additional attached structure, such as a connecting belt, a rubber band, a buckle and a hook, etc. The wearing body may be a carrier for mounting a fan 4, a heat and cold source, an energy storage battery, etc.

[0047] Here, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, the mounting body includes a fan mounting portion 1-4 for mounting a fan 4 and a cold heat source mounting portion 1-16 for mounting a cold heat source, and the cold heat source is for cooling or heating the airflow that the fan 4 introduces into the heat storage area or the chamber air duct 11.

[0048] The wearing body is a chamber structure that spontaneously forms a chamber air duct 11, and the chamber structure has an inlet 13, a heat storage area formed by the chamber after the cold source is installed, and at least one outlet 12. It should be understood that the inside of the wearing body in the present invention is a mutually penetrating chamber structure, and all the chamber structures spontaneously form a chamber air duct 11, and the illustrated range of the chamber air duct 11 in Figure 1 is only shown as a planar area, but is not limited thereto, and any connected three-dimensional area in the chamber can be called the chamber air duct 11, which corresponds to the back, shoulders, waist, etc. of the wearer, but is not limited thereto, and may be in a porous support structure.

[0049] The chamber air duct 11 may further include a pressure-resistant air duct 14 installed in at least a portion of the chamber segments of the chamber air duct 11, and when the chamber air duct 11 is pressed, the pressure-resistant air duct 14 ensures the penetration of the chamber segment in which it is installed. Alternatively, all of the chamber air ducts 11 of the mounting body are pressure-resistant air ducts 14.

[0050] Furthermore, the concept of the heat storage area proposed in the present invention should be understood as follows: after the airflow introduced by the fan passes through the cold source, the airflow is cooled or heated, and the cooled or heated temperature-controlled airflow fills and circulates throughout the entire space within the chamber of the mounting body, and the supporting structure, inner surface structure, etc. are cooled or heated accordingly. The entire chamber air duct may be the heat storage area, or the entire chamber air duct and its supporting structure, inner surface structure, etc. may be the heat storage area.

[0051] The concept of the chamber air duct has been described above, and the pressure-resistant air duct 14 can be a part of the structure of the chamber air duct 11, that is, a part of the air duct of the chamber air duct 11 is a pressure-resistant air duct, where the part of the air duct can be configured in the length direction, height direction or width direction, so as to be applicable to more application scenarios, to obtain higher reliability, and not to affect the exhaust effect after the air duct is pressed. Of course, in these embodiments, all of the chamber air ducts 11 can be configured as pressure-resistant air ducts.

[0052] In the wearable temperature control device according to the embodiment of the present invention, a pressure-resistant air duct 14 is installed in at least a part of the chamber segment of the chamber air duct 11, and when the chamber air duct 11 is pressed, the pressure-resistant air duct 14 ensures the penetration of the chamber segment in which it is installed. For example, the pressure-resistant air duct 14 can be installed in a specific area corresponding to a part that is easily pressed, such as a joint, a shoulder, a middle position of the back, etc. of the wearer. The pressure-resistant air duct 14 can be designed according to different application scenes, differences in the working style of the wearer, etc.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the wearable temperature control device of the present invention has a cold source installed downstream of the fan 4 along the air flow direction of the chamber air duct 11, and the air introduced into the chamber by the fan 4 from the intake port 13 is temperature-controlled in the heat storage area where the cold source is installed, and then becomes cold air that is colder than the external environment or hot air that is hotter than the external environment, and is sent to one or more exhaust ports 12 within the chamber air duct 11 and the pressure-resistant air duct 14, thereby reducing or increasing the temperature of the wearer's temperature-controlled area by means of thermal convection (i.e., direct airflow blowing).

[0054] In some embodiments, the fan mounting position can be diversified. The fan mounting part 1-4 is located at the air inlet 13, i.e., the fan is mounted at the air inlet. Or, the fan is mounted in the chamber air duct 11, and the fan mounting part 1-4 is located at a position in the chamber air duct 11 with a certain distance from the air inlet 13, for example 1-10 cm. In this case, the utilization rate of the chamber air duct 11 is reduced, but it can ensure that the fan is not easily damaged or blocked by external foreign objects, which may cause noise or damage to the fan.

[0055] The dimensions of the fan are selected to cover the entire chamber air duct 11 to avoid wind leakage or insufficient wind pressure. Optionally, a filter can be installed at the position of the suction port, in the chamber air duct 11, or the fan can have a filter by itself, to prevent relatively large external impurities from entering the chamber air duct 11.

[0056] In some embodiments, in order to enhance the use effect of the wearable temperature control device, the wearable temperature control device of the present invention may be designed to blow air to multiple points and multiple regions. Optionally, as shown in Fig. 2, the air outlet 12 includes a first set of air outlets 12A and a second set of air outlets 12B, and the temperature control region includes a first temperature control region and a second temperature control region. The first set of air outlets 12A is arranged toward the first temperature control region of the wearer, and the second set of air outlets 12B is arranged toward the second temperature control region of the wearer, and both the first set of air outlets 12A and the second set of air outlets 12B realize the heat transfer by heat convection (i.e., direct blowing of air).

[0057] Optionally, the first temperature-regulating region is the head and neck of the wearer, and the second temperature-regulating region is the underarm of the wearer, as shown in Fig. 3. Both the first temperature-regulating region and the second temperature-regulating region are temperature-regulating sensitive areas, and are in line with the ergonomic scientific heat dissipation method.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the first set of air outlets 12A and the second set of air outlets 12B can both be installed in the form of a combination of multiple air outlets 12. Taking into consideration the symmetrical structure of the human body, for example, when the first temperature control area corresponding to the first set of air outlets 12A is the wearer's neck, the first set of air outlets 12A includes two sets of symmetrically installed structures, and the air outlets 12 on one side of the first set of air outlets 12A are adaptively designed according to a certain interval and blowing angle, so as to optimize the human body temperature control effect.

[0059] Although the above embodiment describes a first set of air outlets 12A and a second set of air outlets 12B, it should be understood that this is not limited to this, and the wearable temperature control device can be provided with a third set of air outlets 12, a fourth set of air outlets 12, a fifth set of air outlets 12, etc., which may correspond, for example, to the face, wrists or ankles, forehead or top of the head, etc. of the wearer or human body.

[0060] Take heat dissipation and cooling as an example. The neck and face are usually exposed to the external environment, so they are one of the main areas of the human body that dissipate heat. Using airflow to blow air on these areas can quickly dissipate heat and is advantageous for lowering body temperature. The wrists and ankles are the pulse points of the human body, and the blood vessels are located shallowly. Blowing air on these areas helps to lower the temperature of the surrounding blood and affects the overall body temperature. The armpits are another area that is easy to dissipate heat. Blowing air on the armpits promotes the evaporation of sweat and is advantageous for lowering body temperature. The forehead and top of the head have thin skin, so blowing air on these areas is advantageous for lowering body temperature.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, a temperature sensing area is formed on the wearing body, or the entire side of the wearing body facing the wearer is considered to be formed as a temperature sensing area, and when the temperature sensing area comes into contact with the wearer's third temperature control area, the wearing body realizes temperature transfer to the wearer's third temperature control area through temperature transfer.

[0062] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 3, the third temperature regulating region is at least one of the shoulders, back and waist of the wearer, and may be any combination of two, three or more of them. The third temperature regulating region mainly refers to a part of the human body that directly contacts the wearing body, such as the back, shoulders or waist.

[0063] The temperature sensing area (as shown in FIG. 9) is a concept relative to the wearer or human body, for example, a part of the wearing body that directly contacts the human body (which may be the ventilation layer 10). When it is necessary to lower the temperature, the part has a temperature lower than the ambient temperature, so that the wearer can feel a cool sensation on contact. When it is necessary to warm up, the part has a temperature higher than the ambient temperature or body temperature, so that the wearer can feel a warm sensation on contact. The temperature sensing area may be cooled or heated by a temperature control airflow after passing through a cold / heat source, or may store cold or hot air, or may slowly permeate the cold or hot air into the third temperature control area of ​​the wearer. The above temperature control method has the advantages of a large temperature control area, a high utilization rate of the temperature control gas, and a remarkable temperature control effect.

[0064] The temperature sensing area may include a member that is attached inside the chamber of the mounting body, for example, a thin water bag which is a sheet-like part having a certain specific heat capacity, but is not limited thereto, and the temperature sensing area may also include a support 9.

[0065] In some embodiments, a support 9 is disposed within the chamber structure, the support 9 having a certain height and disposed adjacent to the pressure-resistant air duct 14 to support the pressure-resistant air duct 14 .

[0066] In some embodiments, the support 9 can be cooled or heated by airflow through a cold source or by storing the airflow to form a temperature sensing area, and the temperature sensing area or the stored airflow realizes heat transfer to the wearer's third temperature regulating area by heat conduction in contact with each other.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the support 9 not only functions to support the pressure-resistant air duct 14 but also functions as a temperature sensing area or a part of the temperature sensing area.

[0068] The pressure-resistant air duct 14 in the embodiment of the present invention can be realized in various ways, for example, it can be a gap air duct formed by the support 9 and the inner wall of the chamber, or a gap air duct formed between multiple supports 9, or it can be a duct air duct buried between the support 9 and the inner wall of the chamber, or between multiple supports 9. Of course, the duct air duct has a certain supporting strength and can form the pressure-resistant air duct 14 spontaneously.

[0069] As a possible method, a support 9 is disposed within the chamber structure, the support 9 has a certain height, and is disposed adjacent to the pressure-resistant air duct 14 so as to support the pressure-resistant air duct 14. The chamber air duct 11 and the pressure-resistant air duct 14 communicate with the fan mounting portion 1-4 through the heat storage area and then to the air outlet 12, and the air outlet 12 is disposed toward the first and / or second temperature adjustment area of ​​the wearer.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the wearable temperature regulating device of the present invention is provided with a support 9 in a chamber structure, and the support 9 has a certain height or is designed with sufficient strength, that is, the pressure-resistant air duct 14 is recessed lower than the support 9, and the support 9 and the pressure-resistant air duct 14 are installed adjacent to each other to provide sufficient support for the pressure-resistant air duct 14, preventing the pressure-resistant air duct 14 from being blocked when the pressure-resistant air duct 14 is crushed, preventing air from flowing and preventing the wearer from feeling the temperature regulating airflow.

[0071] Alternatively, the support 9 is a porous support structure, and the support 9 communicates with the temperature accumulation area or the chamber air duct through the internal vents 8, so that the temperature control gas passing through the cold source is uniformly diffused in the porous structure of the support and conducted to the temperature sensing area. The support 9 can be a 4D air fiber or a 3D three-dimensional mesh in the prior art, and the 4D air fiber is also called a (clear) spinning ring or spinneret, and its material is TPE / TPU / PE, etc., and the inside of the fiber material is hollow, and this structure is relatively environmentally friendly, does not emit toxic and harmful substances, and further, the fibers therein have a certain self-cleaning function. The raw material of the 3D three-dimensional mesh is polyester, and it is a woven fabric formed into a hollow breathable net by three-dimensional knitting. The support 9 can also be other structures, such as a porous flexible tube, an elastic pad formed by arranging multiple springs, and a resin frame formed by combining multiple three-dimensional units.

[0072] In some embodiments, the wearing body includes a bottom composite layer and a top composite layer, the bottom composite layer being the side of the wearing body facing the wearer and the top composite layer being the side of the wearing body facing away from the wearer, and the bottom composite layer and the top composite layer are connected to form a chamber, as shown in Figures 1, 4 and 6. The bottom composite layer and the top composite layer may be composited using multiple layers of fabric, and may be connected by a stitching method, and the connection part is a hem 17 (as shown in Figure 6).

[0073] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 6 or FIG. 9, the width of the support 9 is smaller than the width of the corresponding position of the wearing body, that is, in the width direction, the support 9 does not fill the entire chamber, but there is a gap between the side wall of the support 9 and the inner wall of the chamber on the corresponding side of the wearing body, and this gap forms at least a part of the pressure-resistant air duct 14. Or, the support 9 is provided in a plurality of pieces, and there is a gap between two adjacent supports 9, and this gap forms at least a part of the pressure-resistant air duct 14. The support 9 has a certain height and elasticity, for example, the height of the support 9 is designed to be 10-50 mm, and 20 mm can be selected. The width of the pressure-resistant air duct 14 is designed to be 5-50 mm, and 15 mm can be selected. Even when the support 9 is compressed, it can be ensured that the pressure-resistant air duct 14 is not completely blocked, and it can be ensured that the air can be normally blown even when the user carries an item on his back and the wearing body is compressed. The support 9 has a certain flexibility and a lightweight design, which makes it easy for the wearer to move. The support 9 provides a certain level of comfort, is lightweight, and does not impose any extra physical burden on the wearer.

[0074] Alternatively, in the cross section of the mounting body, the width of the bottom composite layer is smaller than the width of the top composite layer, so that the top composite layer bulges on both sides or away from the bottom composite layer to form a chamber air duct 11, which can ensure the maximum air flow passage when there is no external force compression, and the gas introduced by the fan 4 is blown out from the air outlet 12 at the maximum speed.

[0075] In addition to being spaced apart, the pressure-resistant air duct 14 in the present invention can also be of other types, such as built-in ducts. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 9, the pressure-resistant air duct 14 further includes an air tube 6 disposed in the mounting body. In the embodiment of FIG. 9, the mounting body has a shoulder bag structure, and there are three pressure-resistant air ducts 14 that transmit from the fan 4 to the shoulder, which are located on both sides and at the middle of the mounting body, respectively, and both sides are gap air ducts and the middle is a duct air duct. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be, for example, one, two or any number of ducts. The pressure-resistant air duct 14 can be of any type, for example, one part is a gap air duct, another part is a duct air duct, or any part is a combination of air ducts of any type.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Fig. 1, the air outlet 12 is disposed at least on the edge of the wearing body, but is not limited thereto, and the air outlet 12 may be located on the top or bottom surface of the wearing body. If the air outlet 12 is also provided on the wearing body at the shoulder position, the airflow can be guided to the neck, face, or forehead of the wearer.

[0077] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 to 9, the mounting body is provided with a support member 7 at least at the position of the air outlet 12 to support the air outlet 12, so as to keep the air outlet 12 open at all times and maintain the required air outlet angle.

[0078] In some embodiments, the support member 7 may not only be installed at the position of the air outlet 12, but may also be installed in the whole or part of the pressure-resistant air duct 14. The support member 7 may be located inside or outside the chamber of the mounting body, and supports it from the outer surface of the mounting body.

[0079] Furthermore, the support member 7 is a half-pipe structure that is engaged and installed in the mounting body. The half-pipe structure can adopt an arc-shaped pipe, a semicircular pipe, a semi-rectangular pipe, etc. When the half-pipe structure is a semicircular pipe, the arc surface of the semicircular pipe abuts on the edge of the mounting body where the air outlet 12 is located, and the arc structure has a certain directional effect, and the air outlet 12 can maintain a set air outlet angle regardless of the posture.

[0080] The support member 7 may be installed integrally or in segments at the shoulder or underarm positions on both the left and right sides. As shown in Fig. 1, the support member 7 includes a first support member 7A and a second support member 7B, the first support member 7A is installed inside the shoulder, has an integral structure on both the left and right sides, and supports a first set of air outlets 12A on both the left and right sides of the shoulder. The second support member 7B is installed at the underarm position, and is independently installed in two left and right segments, and supports a second set of air outlets 12B on both the left and right sides of the underarm, respectively.

[0081] In order to further strengthen the fixing and directing effect of the air outlet, the air outlet 12 of the mounting body and the corresponding position of the support member 7 are connected by a fixed member 18 that is fixedly installed. As shown in Figures 1 and 8, the air outlet 12 of the mounting body and the semicircular pipe-shaped support member 7 are fixedly connected by the fixing member 18, the support member 7 is fixed in the chamber air duct, and the air outlet 12 maintains a constant blowing angle all the time.

[0082] The fixing member 18 not only has a certain shaping effect, but also prevents the thread from coming off from the mounting body at the position of the air outlet 12. The fixing member 18 also has a positioning effect on the support member 7, preventing the support member 7 from moving around in the chamber. The corresponding parts of the air outlet 12, the fixing member 18 and the support member 7 should be drilled with holes, matched in size, and have the same shape, including but not limited to a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a rectangle, a polygon, or a shape combining curves.

[0083] The fixing member 18 has a certain length, and both ends are fixed to the outside of the air outlet 12 and the inside of the support member 7, respectively, and engage and fix the two. Specifically, the outer surface layer 1, the first sealing layer 3 (or the second sealing layer 5) and the support member 7 are crimped together. The fixing member 18 can be made of a material having a certain hardness, such as metal or plastic material, but is not limited to this, and soft materials such as rubber can also be used. The fixing member 18 can be an eye-catcher, a grommet, etc.

[0084] In order to obtain the desired temperature regulation effect, the volume, speed and cross-sectional area of ​​the cold or hot air from the outlet 12 must be scientifically designed. The opening width or diameter of the outlet 12 or the fixing member 18 is 4-20mm, and can be 6-10mm. At least one outlet should be installed on each side of the head, neck and armpits of the human body, and three or more outlets may be installed. When the size of a single outlet 12 is set small enough relative to the entire length of the chamber air duct, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the outlet is small enough, the temperature regulation airflow forms a wind flux with a constant wind speed or pressure, and a smaller volume of air can provide a stronger temperature regulation stimulus to the human body, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the comfort of the human body.

[0085] Similarly, the size and number of suction ports, the power of the fans, the air volume, the air pressure, the air speed, the efficiency, the input voltage, the external dimensions, the installation method, etc. can all be designed accordingly.

[0086] In the above embodiment, the support member 7 can be made of a soft tube material structure, such as a PVC corrugated tube, to have a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity. The support member 7 is also a part of the air duct system, and is combined with a support member made of a mesh material to realize an air duct system that has both support and flexibility.

[0087] The wearable temperature control device of the present invention uses a mesh material support and a soft tube material support, and is combined with a specific sewing method to form an air duct. The specific material and manufacturing method allow the control of the airflow direction of the outlet to achieve the optimal cooling effect. The mesh material and exhaust hole design allow the cold air exhaust to be located in the most important areas (neck and armpits) and the second most important area (back), achieving the optimal body sensation while increasing the effective use of the cold source.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, the top composite layer includes an outer surface layer 1, a heat-insulating layer 2 and a first sealing layer 3, which are arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside. An air inlet 13 is provided on the top composite layer, and a fan can be installed at the position of the air inlet 13.

[0089] Alternatively, the outer surface layer 1 may be made of some wear-resistant fabric, such as sports-type Oxford fabric, which has high wear resistance and durability.

[0090] Alternatively, the thermal insulation layer 2 can be made of a fabric with good thermal insulation performance, such as EVA foam or cotton pearl, to prevent the temperature of the cold / heat source from leaking out. The first sealing layer 3 can be made of a fabric with good airtightness, such as a coated fabric. When cooling is required, the coating layer can be made of light-reflective silver, which has a sealing effect and can also reflect ultraviolet rays, reducing the absorption of heat from the external environment. The TPU silver film reflective fabric can not only prevent gas leakage, but also refract the temperature of the cold / heat source. The thermal insulation layer 2 prevents the temperature of the cold / heat source from leaking out, and the first sealing layer 3 prevents the airflow in the chamber of the wearing body from leaking out.

[0091] The thermal insulation layer 2 and the first sealing layer 3 in the embodiment of the present invention can maximize the temperature-regulating airflow and cold / heat amount stored in the chamber or package, minimize the heat exchange between the temperature inside the chamber and the external environment (the side not in contact with the human body), and minimize the leakage of the temperature-regulating airflow from the top composite layer, maximize the utilization rate of the cold source, and ensure the maximum temperature-regulating ability.

[0092] Optionally, the bottom composite layer includes a breathable layer 10 and a second sealing layer 5, the second sealing layer 5 prevents the airflow in the chamber of the wearing body from leaking, and the breathable layer 10 contacts the wearer to transfer temperature. In some embodiments, the support 9 is located between the breathable layer 10 and the second sealing layer 5 to form a temperature sensing area. In order to increase the heat transfer efficiency from the wearing body to the third temperature regulation area of ​​the human body, the second sealing layer 5 can also adopt a corresponding breathable material. The breathable layer 10 can be made of a breathable mesh fabric, which is the side that contacts the human body and serves as an outer wrapping body to protect the internal structure of the wearing body, but can also conduct the cold or hot air in the temperature sensing area or transfer the temperature to the third temperature regulation area of ​​the human body through contact. The breathable mesh fabric also has the effect of improving comfort and breathability. This structural design is also less likely to condense, improving the comfort of the body.

[0093] In some embodiments, most of the chamber air duct 11 may be surrounded by the first sealing layer 3 and the second sealing layer 5 to minimize air leakage. The surfaces of the first sealing layer 3 and the second sealing layer 5 have a smooth coating layer to minimize wind pressure loss. Except for the location of the air inlet, there is no part of the chamber air duct 11 surrounded by the first sealing layer 3 and the second sealing layer 5, and it is a thermal convection outlet through which the airflow of the first temperature control area, the second temperature control area, etc. directly blows, or it is a vent through which the heat storage area / chamber air duct 11 flows to the temperature sensing area / ventilation layer 10, and the temperature sensing area / ventilation layer 10 realizes temperature transfer with the wearer's third temperature control area through a temperature transfer method. The above two types of heat exchange methods, namely, heat convection and heat exchange, and the two types of heat exchange structures, namely, the air outlet and the two types of temperature sensing areas / ventilation layer 10, maximize the limited amount of cold / heat from the cold source and the limited temperature regulating airflow to act on the sensitive temperature regulating areas of the wearer, thereby maximizing the utilization rate of the cold source.

[0094] In some embodiments, the mounting body is one of the following types of structures: a vest, a waistcoat, a backpack, and a waist pouch.

[0095] Next, taking the cooling effect as an example, in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 13, the wearing body is a vest type, and the wearing method is the same as that of a conventional vest. Here, the wearing body of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 has two sets of air outlets 12, that is, a first set of air outlets 12A arranged on the neck and a second set of air outlets 12B arranged under the armpits. The wearing body of the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 13 may have only one set of air outlets 12, that is, the air outlets 12 arranged under the armpits. In another embodiment, the wearing body may have only one set of air outlets 12 arranged on the neck.

[0096] The attachment body in Example 2 shown in Fig. 11 and Example 3 shown in Fig. 12 is a vest bag type, and the wearing method is similar to a conventional vest bag or backpack. Note that the attachment body in Example 2 shown in Fig. 11 is a single fan type, and the attachment body in Example 3 shown in Fig. 12 is a double fan type.

[0097] The fan mounting part 1-4 can be located at the bottom, middle or top of the mounting body, and there is no particular limitation on the installation position, as long as it can suck air and is located upstream of the cold and heat source, and the installation position of the fan mounting part 1-4 is related to the length of the pressure-resistant air duct 14 and the spare length for installing the cold and heat source. In general, the more cold and heat sources are installed, the farther the fan 4 needs to be from the air outlet 12. As shown in Fig. 11, when one fan mounting part 1-4 is installed, the fan mounting part 1-4 is located at the center of the bottom.

[0098] In the double-fan type mounting body of Example 3 shown in Figure 12, the fan mounting parts 1-4 are located at symmetrical positions on both sides of the lower part, and a first fan 4A and a second fan 4B are mounted on each of them, but this is not limited to this and they may be installed asymmetrically.

[0099] According to the number of fans, the single-fan type mounting body is applied to the scene of electrician work with a toolbox mounted on the side, and the double-fan type mounting body is applied to the scene of the driver sitting on the seat and driving construction machinery such as cranes, forklifts, bulldozers, tractors and excavators, and the fans 4 are installed on both sides, so that the seat back does not block the intake, and the wearable temperature control device can normally intake air to cool or warm. Naturally, the double-fan type mounting body is used in more application scenes, and when the fan 4 on one side is sealed, the fan 4 on the other side can normally intake air to work, and has higher applicability and allowable error rate. It should be understood that the more fans 4 are installed in the mounting body, the greater the intake volume per unit time, and accordingly, the better the cooling or warming effect, but the power consumption will increase and the endurance time will be shorter. In specific use, the appropriate type of mounting body can be selected according to the industry occupation, application scene, etc.

[0100] As shown in Fig. 14, the wearing body of the fifth embodiment is a waist pouch type, and its wearing method is similar to that of a conventional waist pouch. A connecting belt 19 and a buckle, etc. can be arranged on the shoulder and / or waist of the wearing method, and the fastening method of a conventional waist pouch can be referred to. There is a fastener tape on the back of the wearing body, and its function is to connect or separate both sides of the fastener 15 to each other, so that it can be easily opened and closed, and the cold / heat source, the storage battery, the fan 4, etc. can be attached and detached.

[0101] The fan mounting portion 1-4, the cold / hot source mounting portion 1-6, and the battery mounting portion (not shown) may all be in a bag structure sewn into the chamber or packaging of the mounting body, or may have a fixing structure such as a buckle. The chamber or packaging of the mounting body may be opened using a fastener or a magnetic buckle, etc., to facilitate replacement of the fan, cold / hot source, energy storage battery, etc. The wearing body in the sixth embodiment shown in Fig. 15 is a vest type. In the sixth embodiment, a support 9 is disposed in the chamber structure, the support 9 has a certain height, and fills the chamber air duct 11, and the support 9 has a gap, so that the support 9 can spontaneously form a pressure-resistant air duct. In this embodiment, the support 9 can be made of a material such as a 3D or 4D three-dimensional mesh pad, and no direct current passage is installed, and the airflow in the support 9 is turbulent, so that the wind resistance is relatively large and the airflow at the outlet is relatively small, but the temperature control airflow in the temperature sensing area such as the back is relatively large, and the temperature control ability of the third temperature control area is enhanced, which is applicable to some specific application scenes.

[0102] 9, the support body 9 includes a back support body 9 and a shoulder support body 9, and a gap is formed between the back support body 9 and the shoulder support body 9 as a pressure-resistant air duct 14. The back support body 9 is disposed at a middle position of the back of the wearing body, and the pressure-resistant air duct 14 is disposed on both sides of the back support body 9. The shoulder support body 9 is disposed on one side of the shoulder of the wearing body (the side away from the neck), and the pressure-resistant air duct 14 and the air outlet 12 are disposed on the side of the shoulder of the wearing body facing the neck of the wearer.

[0103] To fix the support 9, in some embodiments, the support 9 is fixedly positioned in the chamber of the mounting body by a positioning structure. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 6, in some embodiments, the support 9 is wrapped in a second sealing layer 5 and sewn to the mounting body, and the second sealing layer 5 has several ventilation holes 8.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 1, the support 9 may include a first support 9A located at the mid-back, a second support 9B located at the upper shoulder, and a third support 9C located at the lower back. The internal vents 8 may include a first vent 8A, a second vent 8B, and a third vent 8C. The first support 9A at the mid-back can communicate with the chamber air duct 11 through the first vent 8A, the second support 9B at the upper shoulder can communicate with the chamber air duct 11 through the second vent 8B, and the third support 9C at the lower back can communicate with the chamber air duct 11 through the third vent 8C.

[0105] The second vent 8B shown in Fig. 1 is an internal vent, which discharges the cold / hot gas in the cold / hot storage area to the temperature sensing area. The second vent 8B can be located not only on the side wall of the support 9, but also on the end surface facing the top composite layer, or on the edge boundary between the top end and the side wall. The number, size and interval of the second vent 8B can be set according to the actual situation or different types, or the material of the second sealing layer itself can be replaced with a breathable cloth material.

[0106] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the support 9 can further include a double-sided support, which is located on the straps on both sides, and the double-sided support is also closely sewn to the mounting body by a second sealing layer 5, and a third ventilation hole 8C is opened in the sealing layer to facilitate the cold or hot air in the pressure-resistant air duct 14 to enter the temperature sensing area.

[0107] In some embodiments, the cold source can also take multiple forms. The cold source here refers to a cold source or a heat source. When a human body needs to be cooled in a hot environment, a cold source should be used, and when a human body needs to be warmed in a cold environment, a heat source should be used. The cold source can include at least one of a cold drink, a hot drink, an ice pack, a heating pad, and a thermoelectric effect device. The thermoelectric effect device can be selected from a diode, a cooling / heating semiconductor, etc.

[0108] As shown in FIG. 10, the cold / hot drink 16A in FIG. 10(a) is a common bottled liquid such as mineral water, beverages, etc., and its manufacturing process is simple and convenient, and the cost of using and replacing the cold / hot source is low, which is favorable for large-scale popularization. The air cooling / heating pad 16B in FIG. 10(b) can be obtained using an industrial prefabrication method, and has good cooling or heating effect and long endurance. The diode cooling / heating semiconductor Peltier element 16C in FIG. 10(c) is a semiconductor device that uses the thermoelectric effect to cool and heat. This technology is based on the thermoelectric effect discovered by Peltier (Jean Charles Athanase Peltier), and the flow of electric current induces the transfer of heat in the semiconductor material, making one side hot and the other side cold. The metal cold / heat conducting surface 16C-1 is installed inside the heat storage chamber, and the heat dissipation structure 16C-2 is installed outside the heat storage chamber. A plurality of diode cooling / heating semiconductors can be installed in the heat storage region to enhance the temperature control effect.

[0109] In some embodiments, a battery mounting portion can be provided on the mounting body to mount an energy storage battery to supply power to the fan, and a general charger or the like can be used as the energy storage battery to reduce operating costs.

[0110] The wearable temperature regulating device of the present invention uses a small amount of a simple cold source (such as a bottled frozen drink or an ice pack) and consumes as little energy as possible (such as a commercially available mobile battery) to cool vital parts of the human body (such as the neck, armpits, back, etc.), thereby improving the effectiveness and usage time of the product and reducing the burden on the user.

[0111] The wearable temperature regulating device of the present invention can not only regulate temperature, but also regulate humidity.

[0112] While conventional technologies are unable to effectively cope with the load on the back, the wearable temperature regulating device of the present invention has a structure that forms an air duct inside the product, and the effective support provided by the air duct allows air to pass through normally even when the product is carrying a heavy object (seat belt, lawn mower, backpack, etc.), thereby ensuring that the product's efficacy is effectively exerted.

[0113] The wearable temperature control device of the present invention can also be equipped with a smart control system and can be connected to a smart phone application, allowing users to adjust the temperature and ventilation of the clothes through their mobile phones. This product can be used in a variety of application fields, including not only outdoor sports, but also industrial work, health care, and users with special needs (elderly and disabled people).

[0114] The main body components of the wearable temperature regulating device of the present invention are all made of conventional, common and relatively mature materials, which are low in cost and easy to maintain, and have cost advantages and stability compared with conventional popular wearable air and temperature regulating devices.

[0115] The wearing body structure of the wearable temperature control device of the present invention is convenient and comfortable enough, does not affect human work operations, especially on hot days or when high activity is required, and its temperature control function greatly improves the comfort of the human body. By using the wearable temperature control device manufactured according to the present invention, the user's perceived temperature can be reduced, improving the perceived comfort of people in high temperature environments, improving work efficiency, and preventing injuries to the human body caused by extreme heat.

[0116] In the present invention, features described and / or illustrated with respect to one embodiment may be used in the same or similar manner in one or more other embodiments and / or may be combined with or substituted for features of the other embodiments.

[0117] The above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the embodiments of the present invention by those skilled in the art. All modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention also belong to the scope of the present invention.
