[0012] Therefore, the present invention has a significant effect of controlling thermal expansion and contraction by storing golf balls at a constant temperature in a case equipped with a heating and cooling device, which enables high scores during golf play and adds interest to golf. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0013] FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the controller of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the golf ball cooling device of the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0014] The present invention relates to a temperature-controlled golf ball case, characterized by installing a heating and cooling device in a case for holding golf balls to store the balls at a constant temperature.

[0015] In addition, the above case is characterized by having a clip installed so that it can be attached to and detached from a belt.

[0016] In addition, the above-mentioned heating and cooling device is characterized by being a thermoelectric element.

[0017] In addition, the thermoelectric element is characterized as a Peltier element that is operated by a battery.

[0018] In addition, during the cooling and heating times, the positive and negative electrodes from the battery are switched and connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the thermoelectric element.

[0019] In addition, the case material is characterized by being an insulating synthetic resin or leather material.

[0020] In addition, it is characterized by providing heating and cooling by connecting from the vehicle's electrical terminal to the case electrode terminal for storage in the vehicle.

[0021] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings as follows. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of the controller of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the golf ball cooling device of the present invention.

[0022] The present invention involves installing a heating and cooling device in a case for holding golf balls to store the balls at a constant temperature.

[0023] A golf ball is formed by creating a synthetic rubber layer on an outer shell of a rubber core, and is referred to as a 2-piece ball. A 3-piece ball has an additional intermediate synthetic rubber layer formed between the rubber core and the synthetic rubber layer. The synthetic rubber layer uses Surlyn, elastomer, urethane, polybutadiene, etc. A clip is installed on the case of the present invention so that it can be attached to and detached from a belt. Furthermore, the heating and cooling device uses a thermoelectric element and is installed on the side and lower interior of the case.

[0024] The above thermoelectric element is operated by a battery, and the battery is installed on the bottom or side of the case.

[0025] During the above cooling and heating, the positive and negative electrodes from the battery are switched and connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the thermoelectric element, so that the inner surface of the case generates cold heat in the summer and warm heat in the winter.

[0026] The case material can be composed of insulating synthetic resin or leather. Alternatively, it can be made of aluminum, which conducts heat well.

[0027] The temperature is controlled based on the weight and size of the golf balls inside the cuboid-shaped case. The storage unit stores optimal set temperatures for each size and weight; therefore, when a user inputs the size or weight via the touch panel or touchpad of the input unit, the control unit sets the thermoelectric element to the temperature stored in the storage unit. Consequently, it ensures that the desired temperature is accurately maintained regardless of whether the golf balls are of different sizes or weights. A temperature sensor is installed inside or outside the case to transmit the temperature value to the control unit.

[0028] In addition, the storage unit stores weights for the material of the ball, specifically the material of the outer layer. When the user inputs the outer layer material through the input unit, the control unit sets the temperature by multiplying the weights by the set temperature stored in the storage unit for the thermoelectric element. In particular, settings can be distinguished between 2-piece and 3-piece balls. Furthermore, since the average shelf life of a ball is 2 years, if a special ball is assigned a unique number and entered into the storage unit, the control unit calculates the date it was first placed in the temperature-controlled golf ball case and adjusted using the calculation unit. When the lifespan reaches 2 years, this is displayed on the output unit.

[0029] The above controller is composed of a control unit, an input / output unit such as a touchpad and touchscreen, a storage unit for storing data, a thermoelectric element driving unit, and a comparison unit for comparing a set value with a measured value from a sensor.

[0030] Meanwhile, for case storage in a car, heating and cooling can be provided by connecting from the vehicle's electrical terminal to the case electrode terminal.

[0031] Therefore, the present invention has a significant effect of controlling thermal expansion and contraction by storing golf balls at a constant temperature in a case equipped with a heating and cooling device, which enables high scores during golf play and adds interest to golf.
