Abstract

PURPOSE: A cold and warm cup with heating and cooling functions which uses peltier elements is provided to save time and energy consumed for heating and cooling the drink. CONSTITUTION: A cold and warm cup with heating and cooling functions comprises a cup (1-1) composed of heat-conductive metal(1-2) on the bottom surface, peltier elements(1-3) which deliver or capture the heat, an aluminium plate(1-4) which enhances calorific efficiency, and a heat insulator which is used for enhancing cold storage efficiency and maintaining the temperature on the other side as low. The cup enhances energy efficiency by recharging the system by using a part of the used power after using the cold and warm cup.

Description

Cooling and Heating Cup by Peltier Thermal Electrical Module

Peltier Element

Pletier is also called thermoelectric module, thermoelectric element, thermo module, thermos, thermoelectric cooling element, and thermoelectric module. At one junction, it absorbs heat and at the other junction it releases heat. The Peltier element consists of two or more semiconductors that are electrically in series and thermally parallel, and heat is passed through the thermoelectric element only while electricity flows alternately up and down the substrate through each N-type and P-type element. It is arranged to move in only one direction. Heat is transferred from the heat absorbing surface to the heat radiating surface through the thermoelectric element, and the heat transferred is proportional to the voltage supplied. If you change the polarity, you can change the function of heating and cooling by changing the polarity of the current to the same thermoelectric element.

Pletier's main uses are as follows: In the temperature control sheet of automobiles, in the field of semiconductors, chillers, circulators, cold plates and chucks, blood analyzers in medical instruments, PCR, sample temperature cycle testers CCD cooling, infrared sensor cooling, laser diode cooling, photodiode cooling, SHG laser cooling, CPU cooling in computers, chipset burn-in, etc. It is used for waste heat generator and remote power generation for industrial purposes.

An object of the present invention is to provide a heating and cooling function to a cup for everyday use. Since the cup is not intended to be used in a fixed form, it must be able to provide heating and cooling functions to the cup itself or to attach a portable device to the cup.

In order to achieve the above object, when a DC power supply is used, a Peltier device capable of generating heat and cooling is used. In order to make the device easy to carry, it is possible to use a rechargeable battery such as a lithium ion battery.

The present invention makes it possible to easily warm or cool a small amount of beverage, thereby reducing the time and energy consumed to heat or cool the beverage using a large amount of power. By using only a cup, it is easy to carry and can bring great convenience to life.

1 is an embodiment of the present invention

The present invention has a Peltier element (1-3) on the bottom of the cup (1-1) consisting of a copper plate (1-2) or the like that is well conducted on the bottom or a large specific heat aluminum, the battery (1-6) When supplying electricity supplied through the one side of the Peltier element (1-3) is cold and the other side is hot. If you change the polarity of electricity on the contrary, the previously hot part becomes cold and the cold part becomes hot, so you can make it hot or cold with just one switch operation. If the removable type is used instead of the fixed type, both sides of the Peltier element 1-3 may be used without changing the polarity of electricity. The Peltier element 1-3 has a large temperature difference on both sides, so the effect is maximized. For example, if you want to use the heating function for the main purpose, the colder the opposite side of the hot part, the higher the heat generation efficiency. Will become large. On the contrary, if the refrigeration function is used for the main purpose, the refrigeration efficiency will be much better if the device that does not lose heat to the outside using a cloth or a material with low heat conductivity to prevent the opposite surface from becoming cold.

The Peltier element (1-3) can be equipped with a pressure sensor or a Nurum switch to automatically activate the cold and hot function as soon as the cup is raised.

The Peltier element 1-3 requires a battery 1-6 with a sufficient current of at least 1 amp or more. The most practical of these batteries at present is a lithium ion battery. This lithium ion battery can be charged and used, as well as the electricity generated by the Peltier element 1-3 can be charged to the lithium ion battery in reverse. After using the cold cup, both sides of the Peltier element 1-3 have already experienced a significant temperature difference, so that the cup can be charged as soon as it is removed.
