It comprises a container (1) whose shape and size are adequate to the type of package to be heated or cooled, with an appropriately thermoinsulated sidewall, at the lower and open end (5) of which is fixed a Peltier cell (6), the upper plate (6) thereof remaining nested or framed within the window (7) by means of a seal (8) of thermal silicone or the like, while the lower plate (6') thereof is coupled to a heat sink (9) which is fixed to the lower end of the container (1), with said silicone seal (9) arranged therebetween. A small motor-fan (10) circulates air through the heat sink (9) and is fixed in association with the latter to the lower end of the container (1) by means of screws. As a function of the polarity applied to the Peltier cell (6), the upper plate of the latter, forming the bottom of the container (1), acts as a cooler or as a heater.

En situaciones similares es necesario a veces disponer de comida caliente, y también con independencia de los clásicos hornillos portátiles, cuya problemática, inherente a su propio peso y volumen, es sobradamente conocida, la única solución conocida y eficaz consiste en utilizar compuestos químicos que al reaccionar generen calor, pero evidentemente esta solución, además de costosa, resulta monouso, de manera que cada lata de alimento debe estar equipada específicamente con su propio sistema de calentamiento por reacción química, desechable tras tal calentamiento.In similar situations it is sometimes necessary to have hot food, and also regardless of the classic portable stoves, whose problem, inherent in its own weight and volume, is well known, the only known and effective solution is to use chemical compounds that reacting generate heat, but obviously this solution, in addition to being expensive, is monstrous, so that each can of food must be specifically equipped with its own chemical reaction heating system, disposable after such heating.

Para ello y de forma más concreta, el dispositivo que la invención propone se basa en el efecto termoeléctricos conocido como el fenómeno Peltier, según el cual al aplicar una tensión, y más concretamente al hacer pasar una corriente continua a través de las superficies de contacto de dos sustancias conductoras distintas, en una de ellas se absorbe el calor y en la otra se genera calor, lo que permite utilizar una de dichas sustancias como fuente generadora de frío, cuando lo que se pretenda es refrigerar o enfriar un envase, o como fuente térmica de calentamiento, cuando lo que se pretende es elevar la temperatura del mismo.For this and more specifically, the device proposed by the invention is based on the thermoelectric effect known as the Peltier phenomenon, according to which when applying a voltage, and more specifically when passing a direct current through the contact surfaces of two different conductive substances, in one of them the heat is absorbed and in the other heat is generated, which allows one of these substances to be used as a source of cold generation, when what is intended is to cool or cool a container, or as thermal heating source, when what is intended is to raise its temperature.
