Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothing, and in particular to an antibacterial water-cooling suit with an expandable hook function. [Background technology]
[0002] Currently, with global warming and rising temperatures, people who work in high-temperature environments for long periods of time are at risk of losing the metabolic balance of substances such as heat, water, and electrolytes in the body, which can lead to symptoms such as dehydration, convulsions, and heat stroke, and can even lead to life-threatening situations such as heat stroke. Cooling suits have been developed to deal with this situation.
[0003] There are some common problems with conventional cooling garments:
[0004] 1. Cooling efficiency has limitations. Most cooling suits use fans, ice packs, or condensation tablets to provide cooling, but these methods have limited cooling capacity and do not provide sustained, effective cooling under extremely hot conditions.
[0005] 2. Battery life and energy efficiency issues Cooling suits that are powered by fans or batteries often have problems with battery life, and because the battery capacity is limited, it is difficult to maintain a stable cooling effect during long periods of work or activity. Conventional cooling suits using ice packs require frequent replacement of ice packs or ice blocks, which limits the actual usage time and is inconvenient.
[0006] 3. Comfort and User Experience Some users have safety and comfort concerns about having wires and batteries hanging from their body, and powered cooling suits do not meet their needs. For this reason, water-cooled suits are the best option as they do not require power and are more durable.
[0007] 4. Complex processing Water cooling suits are widely used to make holes in order to secure the middle layer while allowing air circulation. In existing water cooling suits, large holes are usually made in the middle water storage middle layer, then small holes are made in the inner and outer layers and in the middle water storage layer in line with the holes, and finally the edges of the holes in the innermost and outermost layers are partially bonded together. This method requires many steps, is prone to misalignment, and has a high defect rate.
[0008] 5. Insufficient functionality and convenience. The cooling suits currently available on the market have a simple structure and a single function, and lack hanging and storage functions, making it difficult to easily carry or take out items during outdoor activities. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the objective of the present invention is to provide an expandable antibacterial water cooling garment with a hook function, which has an improved structure and process. [Means for solving the problem]
[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the antibacterial water cooling suit with expandable hook function of the present invention is: The garment comprises a body of clothing, which comprises, in order from inside to outside, a contact layer, a waterproof layer, a water storage layer, a moisture permeable layer, and a moisture-conducting, quick-drying layer, the inner surface of the moisture permeable layer contacts the water storage layer, the outer surface of the moisture permeable layer is adhered to the moisture-conducting, quick-drying layer, which adopts a moisture-conducting fabric, and the water stored in the water storage layer permeates the moisture permeable layer and the moisture-conducting, quick-drying layer in that order and evaporates to the outside in one direction, dissipating heat.
[0011] Furthermore, the contact layer is the innermost part of the garment body and is a chemical fiber woven fabric layer that contacts the body.
[0012] Furthermore, the waterproof layer is a waterproof TPU membrane layer.
[0013] Furthermore, the waterproof layer is coated directly onto the outer surface of the contact layer.
[0014] Furthermore, the water storage layer is made of a material with good water absorbency.
[0015] Furthermore, the moisture permeable layer is a waterproof and moisture permeable TPU film, the inner surface of which is in contact with the water storage layer, and the outer surface of which is adhered to the inner surface of the moisture conducting and quick drying layer.
[0016] Additionally, all of the fabrics are treated with an antimicrobial agent.
[0017] Furthermore, the garment body is provided with a number of through holes, which penetrate the contact layer, waterproof layer, water storage layer, moisture permeable layer and moisture-wicking, quick-drying layer. The five layers of material at the edge of the holes are all flush with each other and are tightly attached while forming the through holes, preventing water penetration.
[0018] In addition, the holes are designed to be precisely aligned and reinforced and fixed with eyelets, which provide a hanging function and effectively protect the edges of the holes from wear and tear and prevent water penetration. The holes can be used in combination with other cooling tools such as traditional portable fans, and can also be used to hang containers such as nets, cloth packs, and plastic bags to store belongings. The holes can be connected with ropes as needed, and other tools and accessories can be hung on the connecting rope.
[0019] Furthermore, connecting ropes are attached between the holes to form a fixed rope structure.
[0020] Furthermore, a net is attached between the multiple holes to form a net structure having a predetermined storage space.
[0021] Furthermore, rubber buttons are attached to the multiple holes to form a hook structure with a hanging function. Effect of the Invention

[0024] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described in this specification are only used to explain and interpret the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. 1 to 9, the expandable antibacterial water-cooling suit with a hook function according to the present invention includes a suit body, which includes, from inside to outside, a contact layer 7, a waterproof layer 6, a water storage layer 5, a moisture permeable layer 4, and a moisture wicking, quick-drying layer 3. The contact layer 7 and the waterproof layer 6 are adhered to each other, the water storage layer 5 is an intermediate layer, and the moisture permeable layer 4 and the moisture wicking, quick-drying layer 3 are adhered to each other.
[0025] The contact layer 7 is the innermost part of the garment body, and is the side closest to the body. The contact layer 7 is a chemical fiber fabric layer that comes into contact with the body.
[0026] The second layer from the inside is the waterproof layer 6, which is a waterproof TPU membrane layer. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a new environmentally friendly polymer material between rubber and plastic, and is widely used in the fields of clothing, shoes, hats, sports goods, etc. In this invention, the waterproof layer 6 is made of TPU material in the conventional technology. The inner surface of the waterproof layer is adhered to the outer surface of the contact layer, and the outer surface of the waterproof layer contacts the intermediate water storage layer. In this embodiment, the waterproof layer 6 is directly coated on the outer surface of the contact layer 7. As the waterproof layer 6, a waterproof TPU membrane that can withstand a water pressure of 10,000 mmH20 (JIS L 1092 B) or more is used, thereby preventing the water in the intermediate water storage layer from penetrating inside and contacting the body.
[0027] The third layer from the inside is the water storage layer 5 which is the middle layer, and the water storage layer 5 utilizes the wicking effect of ultrafine fibers to diffuse and store moisture.
[0028] The fourth layer from the inside is the moisture permeable layer 4, which is a waterproof and moisture permeable TPU film, and its inner surface contacts the water storage layer 5, and its outer surface is adhered to the inner surface of the moisture conducting and quick drying layer 3. The moisture permeable layer 4 plays a role in preventing water leakage from the water storage layer 5 while ensuring that the moisture in the water storage layer 5 is effectively evaporated. The moisture permeable layer 4 and the waterproof layer 6 are structured as a water bag as a whole, and the moisture permeable layer 4 and the waterproof layer 6 differ in that the waterproof layer 6 is impermeable and not moisture permeable in both directions, while the moisture permeable layer 4 is impermeable but can transmit moisture to the outside. The moisture permeable layer is a TPU film with a moisture permeability of 8000 g / m2.day (JIS L 1099 B-1) or more, and evaporated water molecules can pass through.
[0029] The waterproof and moisture-permeable TPU membrane is made of polyurethane (TPU) as the main material, with hydrophilic groups introduced, and has moisture permeability due to moisture conductivity and electrical conductivity, and has water repellency due to the lack of micropores on the surface of the thin film. In this embodiment, the waterproof and moisture-permeable TPU membrane is made of materials in the prior art.
[0030] The outermost part, i.e., the side farthest from the body, is the moisture wicking, quick-drying layer 3, which uses a moisture-wicking fabric made of polyester fiber. Water stored in the water storage layer 5 passes through the moisture permeable layer 4 and the moisture wicking, quick-drying layer 3 in that order, evaporating outward in one direction and releasing heat. The moisture wicking, quick-drying layer 3 absorbs and expels the water that has penetrated, quickly drying it, providing a cooling effect and improving comfort.
[0031] All fabrics are treated with antibacterial agents, which have antibacterial / bacteriostatic properties against pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, mold, and Moraxella, and can prevent infections, mold, and odor. In this invention, by adding antibacterial agent components to the fabric, mold and odor can be effectively prevented even after long-term use. The antibacterial agent may be a product from the prior art.
[0032] The moisture-conducting function of a fabric means that moisture and heat are quickly transferred from the inner layer of the fabric to the outer layer (air-contacting layer) of the fabric, evaporation and drying are fast, and moisture and heat do not remain in the inner layer. The moisture-conducting fabric plays a role of quickly transferring moisture to the outer layer of the fabric and releasing the transferred water as quickly as possible. In this embodiment, the moisture-conducting fabric is manufactured from a material in the prior art.
[0033] One or two water inlet ports 1 for pouring water are provided on both sides of the shoulders of the clothing body, and these water inlet ports 1 communicate with a water reservoir 5 so that water can be poured from the water inlet ports 1 into the water reservoir 5.
[0034] The garment body is provided with a number of through holes 2 which penetrate the contact layer 7, waterproof layer 6, water storage layer 5, moisture permeable layer 4 and moisture wicking, quick drying layer 3. The five layers of material at the edge 8 of the holes are all flush with each other, forming through holes and being tightly adhered to each other to prevent water penetration.
[0035] The holes 2 penetrate all the fabric layers at once by the latest welding process, and the edges are also welded, which reduces the process and processing costs to the maximum. The holes 2 are designed to be precisely aligned and reinforced and fixed by eyelets, which provide a hanging function, effectively protect the edges of the holes from wear, prevent water penetration, and can be used in combination with other cooling tools such as traditional portable fans, and can also hang containers such as nets, cloth packs, and plastic bags to store belongings. The holes 2 can be connected to each other with ropes 9 as needed, and other tools or hanging items 10 can be hung on the connecting ropes 9.
[0036] As shown in FIG. 6, when a connecting rope 9 is attached between two horizontally adjacent holes 2, a horizontal fixed rope structure is formed, and the hanging item 10 can be fixed to the connecting rope 9; in FIG. 6, the handle of the fan is inserted between the horizontal connecting rope 9 and the clothing body, so that the fan is well fixed to the clothing body.
[0037] As shown in Fig. 7, when the net 11 is attached between four adjacent holes 2, a net structure having a certain storage space is formed, and the hanging item 10 may be fixed in the net structure. In Fig. 7, a fan and / or ice bag are stored in the net structure formed between the net 11 and the clothing body, so that the fan and / or ice bag are well fixed to the clothing body.
[0038] As shown in Fig. 8, when the rubber button 12 is attached to the hole 2, a hook structure with a hooking function is formed. The rubber button 12 includes a female hook and a male hook, a hook ring is provided at the front of the female hook, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the hole 2, only the rear part of the female hook can penetrate the hole 2, and a pin is provided at the front of the male hook, which is inserted and fixed into the female hook. A rear cover is provided at the rear of the male hook, the diameter of which is larger than the diameter of the hole 2.
[0039] When the rubber button 12 is passed through the hole 2 and fixed to the clothing body, the hooking ring can be used to hang a hooking item 11. In this embodiment, a fan is hung on the hooking ring, so that the fan is well fixed to the clothing body.
[0040] The expandable antibacterial water cooling with hook function of the present invention employs water cooling and may be in the form of a zipper as shown in FIG. 1 or in the form of a pullover as shown in FIG. 5.
[0041] When using, pour about 500ml of water or ice water into the water inlet 1, allow the water to be fully absorbed by the water reservoir 5 and spread throughout the body, and after closing the water inlet, shake the garment several times to hasten the spread. After putting on the garment, the water in the water reservoir 5 is transferred to the outer surface through the fabric of the moisture permeable layer 4 and the moisture conducting and quick drying layer 3, where it is evaporated, dries quickly, and dissipates heat, thereby achieving a cooling effect.
[0042] The antibacterial water-cooled suit with expandable hook function of the present invention is a type of water-cooled suit, which cools by absorbing and dissipating heat through the circulating liquid. Compared with conventional cooling suits that use fans or ice bags, the antibacterial water-cooled suit with expandable hook function of the present invention has the following significant advantages by adopting water cooling:
[0043] 1.Remarkable cooling effect A water-cooled suit provides continuous and effective cooling by circulating a refrigerant within the suit. Compared to fans or ice packs, liquid transfers heat more evenly, ensuring the wearer's body temperature remains cool. In extreme high temperature environments, water cooling is usually more efficient and can significantly reduce core body temperature, making it particularly suitable for high temperature operations and extreme outdoor environments.
[0044] 2. Uniform cooling The water-cooled suit has a water storage layer, a moisture permeable layer, and a moisture-conducting, quick-drying layer that are present throughout the body, allowing the coolant to circulate in multiple areas rather than just cooling locally.Compared to ice packs, which only cool a certain area, the water-cooled suit can cool the entire body evenly.
[0045] 3.Adjustable cooling strength Water-cooled suits usually allow the wearer to adjust the amount of liquid as needed, allowing them to adjust the cooling intensity according to environmental conditions and personal needs, providing a more personalized and comfortable experience. They also allow for temperature regulation by adjusting the temperature of the liquid as needed.
[0046] 4. Durable cooling effect Water cooling suits, unlike those that use disposable ice packs, can continue to cool through circulation. Water cooling is not limited by other conditions (such as melting ice packs), and a stable cooling effect can be achieved for a long period of time simply by adding water to the suit. This continuous cooling feature is especially important in situations that require extended work or outdoor activity.
[0047] 5. Greater comfort The water-cooled suit is designed with a lightweight water storage layer, a moisture-permeable layer, and a moisture-conducting, quick-drying layer, eliminating the need to wear batteries or wires in close contact with the body. It is lighter and thinner than conventional cooling suits of the usual design, and is safer, more comfortable, and more flexible to wear.
[0048] 6. Wide range of uses Water-cooled suits are widely used in scenarios that require working in high-temperature environments for extended periods of time, such as firefighters, race car drivers, construction workers, and outdoor workers in extreme weather conditions. Due to its powerful cooling effect, it is also suitable for industries that require precise temperature control, such as auxiliary cooling for medical equipment and personnel protection in scientific research experiments.
[0049] 7. There are many additional features. The holes, precisely aligned and designed and reinforced by eyelets, effectively protect the edges from abrasion, prevent water penetration, allow carrying and storing various tools and items, and may hook up other tools such as fans for cooling.
[0050] 8. Potential Health and Safety Benefits Through a steady cooling process, the water-cooled suit can reduce physical fatigue, heat stroke and other health problems caused by high temperatures, and is particularly effective in protecting the health of people working in high temperatures.
[0051] Water-cooled suits are more environmentally friendly and safer than some cooling methods that use chemical coolants, reducing environmental pollution and chemical risks to the wearer.
[0052] The antibacterial water cooling suit with expandable hook function of the present invention is an ideal choice in many extreme environments due to its efficient, uniform and continuous cooling effect, and is widely used in professional fields and high-temperature work due to its advantages in performance, comfort and convenience.
