[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.
[0031] In addition, the present invention is capable of controlling humidity along with temperature, and a humidity sensor is installed together with a temperature sensor.
[0032] The storage unit stores optimal temperature and humidity settings for 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 and humidity stored in the storage unit. This ensures that the desired temperature and humidity are accurately maintained, even if the golf balls vary in size and weight. Temperature and humidity sensors are installed inside or outside the case to transmit the temperature and humidity values to the control unit.
[0033] 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 and humidity stored in the storage unit for the thermoelectric element by multiplying the weights. 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 and humidity-controlled golf ball case and adjusted. When the lifespan reaches 2 years, the date is displayed on the output unit.
[0034] 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 that compares a set value with measured values from a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor.
[0035] 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.
[0036] Therefore, the present invention has a significant effect of controlling thermal expansion and contraction by storing golf balls at a constant temperature and humidity in a case equipped with a heating and cooling device, which enables high scores during golf play and adds interest to golf.

Claims
Claim 1 A heating and cooling device is installed in a case (20) for holding a golf ball (10) to store the golf ball (10) at a constant temperature or humidity. The heating and cooling device is a thermoelectric element (30). In an automatic temperature and humidity control golf ball case operated by a battery, the temperature and humidity are controlled based on the weight and size of the golf ball inside the case. The storage unit of the controller stores the optimal set temperature and humidity for the size and weight. When a user inputs the size or weight through the touch panel or touch pad of the input unit, the controller sets the temperature and humidity to the set temperature and humidity stored in the storage unit for the thermoelectric element. Thus, even if the golf balls are of different sizes and weights, the desired temperature and humidity are accurately maintained. A temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are installed inside or outside the case to transmit the temperature and humidity values to the controller. When a unique number is assigned to the ball and entered into the storage unit, the controller calculates the date the ball was first placed in the temperature-controlled golf ball case and temperature-controlled using a calculation unit. When the lifespan reaches a certain period, the date is displayed on the output unit. Automatic adjustable golf ball case Claim 2 delete Claim 3 delete
