Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat dissipation devices, and more particularly to heat dissipation devices and clothing equipped with heat dissipation devices. [Background technology]

[0002] Air-conditioned clothing is wearable smart clothing that provides cooling through a built-in miniature air conditioning system. The principle is to incorporate an airflow or water cooling system into the clothing to provide a cooling effect. Air-conditioned clothing is generally made of comfortable, breathable materials and is equipped with a miniature fan or water circulation system that blows cool air or circulates cold water to lower body temperature. Some air-conditioned clothing also has the ability to adjust temperature and air speed, allowing users to adjust them according to their needs. Such smart clothing is often seen in hot seasons or in situations requiring long periods of outdoor activity, such as outdoor work, exercise, and camping. Smart clothing allows people to stay cool and comfortable even in hot environments, improving work or exercise efficiency.

[0003] However, when heat dissipation devices such as radiators and fans are incorporated into clothing, they are connected to both hard and soft parts, so two conflicting issues, namely robustness and ease of attachment and detachment, must be considered. Therefore, how to consider the robustness of the assembly while easing the difficulty of attachment and detachment is a constant challenge for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a heat dissipation device that solves the technical problems of robust assembly and ease of installation and removal. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a heat dissipation device, including a heat dissipation case with a side wall and a flexible fixing member surrounding the side wall, the side wall having a fixing base extending toward the periphery, the fixing base having a fixing hole, the flexible fixing member abutting against the fixing base, and the flexible fixing member having a protruding locking hook corresponding to the fixing hole and capable of passing through the fixing hole.

[0006] The heat dissipation device of this invention is detachably fixed to the heat dissipation case via a flexible fixing member, and the locking hook passes through the fixing hole, and the locking hook's anti-reverse claws tightly fix the flexible fixing member to the fixing base. The close contact between the flexible fixing member and the heat dissipation case ensures a solid fixation, and the elasticity of the flexible fixing member itself makes it easy to attach and detach the two, allowing them to be removed and assembled without the need for rotation or other tools.

[0007] Preferably, the lock hook has a guide surface at its top. Because the lock hook has a check claw at its top, the entire lock hook must always be misaligned with the fixing hole to a certain extent. The guide surface can automatically guide the lock hook into the fixing hole when attaching or detaching the heat dissipation device, especially when it is difficult to visually check the position. This makes attachment and detachment easier and allows the lock hook to be attached to the correct position with a single operation.

[0008] Preferably, the flexible fixing member is tightly fitted to the side wall, so that the flexible fixing member further firmly holds the heat dissipation case from the radial direction, further improving the robustness of the assembly.

[0009] Preferably, the locking hooks are provided in pairs and are positioned symmetrically about the center of the heat dissipation case, so that the locking hooks secure the heat dissipation case from symmetrical positions, ensuring the robustness of the heat dissipation case. Furthermore, during assembly, the symmetrical locking hooks lock simultaneously, making it easier to position the locking hooks, simplifying the installation and alignment steps, and improving ease of installation and removal.

[0010] Preferably, the side of the heat dissipation case has a fixing region where most of the locking hooks are provided and a heat dissipation region where heat dissipation holes are provided. The fixing region is used to support the structure of the heat dissipation case itself. More than half of the locking hooks are provided in the fixing region, with the purpose of preventing the parts of the locking hooks that pass through the fixing holes from blocking the heat dissipation holes and affecting the heat dissipation of the heat dissipation device and the smoothness of gas flow.

[0011] More preferably, the length of the locking hook is not more than 1.2 times the width of the adjacent fixing area. The length of the locking hook may exceed the position of the fixing area, but not excessively, and can exceed 1.2 times the length of the fixing area at most. Usually, there is a certain margin in the design of the heat dissipation hole, that is, even if a certain area is blocked, it does not have a significant impact on the heat dissipation of the heat dissipation device. However, the portion of the locking hook that exceeds 1.2 times the width of the fixing area has almost reached the limit of possible blocking, and any longer length will inevitably have a certain impact on the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation device.

[0012] Preferably, the flexible fixing member is made of silicone rubber, NBR, TPE, or TPU, and may be made of relatively soft silicone rubber or somewhat flexible plastic, either of which can provide strong fixation and easy attachment and detachment.

[0013] Preferably, the heat dissipation case includes an upper case and a lower case, and the upper case and the lower case are fixedly connected via a buckle. While the upper case of the prior art is usually fixed to the lower case with screws, which require the screws to be aligned during assembly, the present solution uses a direct fastening with a buckle, making attachment and detachment easier. Furthermore, since the present solution uses a flexible fastening member for fastening, the upper case no longer receives a fastening force for fastening the entire heat dissipation device to other components, but only serves to fasten itself to the lower case, so the fastening requirements can be fully met by the buckle.

[0014] More preferably, the buckle and the locking hook have the same fixing direction, so that if necessary, the flexible fixing member and the upper case can be simultaneously assembled to the lower case during assembly, thereby eliminating an assembly step.

[0015] Another object of the present invention is to provide clothing equipped with a heat dissipation device in order to solve the technical problems of assembling the heat dissipation device to the clothing, such as improving the assembly robustness and reducing the difficulty of putting on and taking off the clothing.

[0016] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a garment with a heat dissipation device, comprising any one of the heat dissipation devices described above, and further comprising a garment body, the garment body being provided with a device hole, and the flexible fixing member being fixed at the position of the device hole. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] In the garment equipped with a thermal device of the present invention, the flexible fastening member can be sewn or engaged with the device hole of the garment body, eliminating the need for eyelets or other fastening methods, reducing the difficulty and process steps of fastening the flexible fastening member to the garment body, and correspondingly simplifying the process steps of fastening the thermal device to the garment body. In addition, the characteristics of the flexible fastening member provide a cushioning effect when connecting the garment equipped with a thermal device to the thermal device, preventing the problem of the garment body being easily damaged at the position where the thermal device is fastened, as this is not a direct connection between a soft and a hard object.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the heat dissipation device 1000 of Example 1 of the present invention, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the flexible fixing member 1200 of the heat dissipation device 1000 of Example 1 of the present invention, where Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the lower surface of the flexible fixing member 1200 facing upward, and Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the explosion structure of the heat dissipation device 1000 of Example 1 of the present invention.

[0024] This embodiment discloses a heat dissipation device 1000 , which includes a heat dissipation case 1100 and a flexible fixing member 1200 .

[0025] The heat dissipation case 1100 includes an upper case 1140 and a lower case 1150. The upper case 1140 is sheet-shaped, and a buckle 1141 protrudes downward from the bottom of the upper case 1140 and is fitted and fixed to the lower case 1150. A heat dissipation member 1300 is provided inside the heat dissipation case 1100.

[0026] The lower case 1150 has a side wall 1160 on its side, and the flexible fixing member 1200 is fitted into the side wall 1160 so that the flexible fixing member 1200 fits tightly against the side wall 1160. The lower case 1150 extends around the periphery to form a fixing base 1110, and the underside of the flexible fixing member 1200 is adjacent to the fixing base 1110. The fixing base 1110 has four fixing holes 1111, and four locking hooks 1210 protrude downward from the flexible fixing member 1200. The locking hooks 1210 correspond to the positions of the fixing holes 1111 and can pass through the fixing holes 1111 to fix the flexible fixing member 1200 to the lower case 1150. The four fixing holes 1111 are distributed symmetrically around the periphery of the fixing base 1110. A guide surface 1211 is provided on the outer side of the tip of the lock hook 1210, and the guide surface 1211 guides the lock hook 1210 into the fixing hole 1111. An outward recess (not shown) is provided in the center of the lock hook 1210, and this recess engages with the side wall of the fixing hole 1111. To ensure the locking effect and strength of the lock hook 1210, the lock hook 1210 is elongated in the circumferential direction. A fixing region 1120 and a heat dissipation region 1130 are provided on the side of the lower case 1150 located below the fixing base 1110. The fixing region 1120 is used to support the entire structure of the lower case 1150, and the heat dissipation region 1130 is provided with heat dissipation holes 1131 to support heat exchange between the inside and outside of the lower case 1150. Each lock hook 1210 is located in a fixing region 1120, and its length is approximately the same as the width of the adjacent fixing region 1120.

[0027] The flexible fixing member 1200 in this embodiment is a silica gel material, and in other embodiments, the flexible fixing member may be NBR, TPE or TPU.

[0028] The heat dissipation device 1000 of this embodiment is fixed to the heat dissipation case 1100 in the axial direction via the lock hooks 1210 by the flexible fixing member 1200, and is tightly fixed to the side wall 1160 in the radial direction by tight fitting. This improves the fixing strength of the heat dissipation device 1000, while making it easy and convenient to attach and detach, and facilitating the rapid assembly of the heat dissipation device 1000 with other devices. Example 2

[0029] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a heat dissipation device 2000 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] This embodiment discloses a heat dissipation device 2000, the structure of which is almost the same as that of the heat dissipation device 1000 of the first embodiment of the present invention, but the differences include the following:

[0031] The heat dissipation device 2000 of this embodiment includes a heat dissipation case 2100 and a flexible fixing member 2200. The heat dissipation case 2100 includes a bottom case 2150, and a fixing area 2120 and a heat dissipation area 2130 are provided on a side of the bottom case 2150. Four locking hooks 2210 protrude downward from the flexible fixing member 2200. In other embodiments, the number of locking hooks may be three. The circumferential length of each locking hook 2210 is 1.2 times the width of the fixing area 2120. The material of the flexible fixing member 2200 of this embodiment is thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).

[0032] The heat dissipation device 2000 of this embodiment has almost the same effects as the heat dissipation device 1000 of embodiment 1. In addition, the lock hook 2210 of this embodiment is longer, has a stronger fixing effect, and has almost no effect on the heat exchange efficiency of the heat dissipation area 2130. Example 3

[0033] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of clothing 300 equipped with a heat dissipation device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 6 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the local structure of clothing 300 equipped with a heat dissipation device according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] This embodiment discloses a garment 300 with a heat dissipation device, which includes a garment body 310 and a heat dissipation device 3000, where the structure of the heat dissipation device 3000 is substantially the same as that of the heat dissipation device 1000 in the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] In the garment 300 equipped with the thermal device of this embodiment, the garment body 310 is provided with an equipment hole 311. The thermal device 3000 includes a flexible fixing member 3200, which has a groove in its thickness direction to fit into the equipment hole 311, and adhesive can be provided in the groove for reinforcement. In another embodiment, the flexible fixing member may be sewn directly to the position of the equipment hole.

[0036] In the clothing 300 equipped with the heat dissipation device of this embodiment, the heat dissipation device 3000 is fixed to the clothing body 310 via the flexible fixing member 3200. On the one hand, the flexible fixing member 3200 can not only firmly fix the heat dissipation device 3000, but also firmly clamp itself into the device hole 311 through the device hole 311. On the other hand, when removing the heat dissipation device 3000, the flexible fixing member 3200 can be directly separated from other parts of the heat dissipation device 3000. Finally, during assembly, the flexible fixing member 3200 can be adhered or sewn to the clothing body 310 in advance and then directly abutted against the heat dissipation device 3000, making installation easy.

[0037] What has been disclosed above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the claims of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the scope of the claims of the present invention still fall within the scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
