Temperature conditioning device
Abstract
A temperature conditioning device has a connection tube assembly, a heat exchange unit, a system controller, and a wrap assembly connected to the connection tube assembly. The wrap assembly has a water bag, an air bag and a sleeve wrapped around the air bag and the water bag. The system controller has a water pump for drawing liquid from the heat exchange unit to the water bag to cool or warm a body part of a user, and a pneumatic pump for inflating the air bag to provide holding force. The temperature conditioning device forms a water cycle between the heat exchange unit and the water bag so the water bag is able to keep a cool or warm temperature to comfort a user continuously.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A temperature conditioning device comprising:
a connection tube assembly having:
a first water output tube;
a second water output tube; and
a water input tube;
a heat exchange unit having:
a container;
a water exit connector mounted through the container and connected to the first water output tube; and
a water return connector mounted through the container and connected to the water input tube;
a system controller having a water pump connected to the first water output tube and the second water output tube; and a wrap assembly having a water bag connected to the second water output tube and the water input tube.
2 . The temperature conditioning device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the connection tube assembly further has an air input tube; the system controller further has a pneumatic pump connected to the air input tube; and the wrap assembly further has
an air bag overlapping the water bag and connected to the air input tube; and
a sleeve wrapped around the air bag and the water bag.
3 . The temperature conditioning device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the wrap assembly further has an air release valve mounted through the air bag and automatically releasing air overcharged in the air bag.
4 . The temperature conditioning device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the system controller further has
a pressure detector;
an air guiding tube having two ends respectively connected to the pneumatic pump and the pressure detector; and
a solenoid valve electrically connected to and controlled by the pressure detector, and controlling communication between the air guiding tube and the air input tube; and
the air input tube is connected to the pneumatic pump via the solenoid valve and the air guiding tube.
5 . The temperature conditioning device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the heat exchange unit further has a check valve mounted through the container and allowing air outside the container to flow into the container.
6 . The temperature conditioning device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the heat exchange unit further has a pressure limit valve mounted in the water return connector and allowing pressurized liquid to flow into the container.
7 . The temperature conditioning device as claimed in claim 6 further having a temperature gauge mounted on the second water output tube and the water input tube and disposed adjacent to the wrap assembly.
8 . The temperature conditioning device as claimed in claim 7 further having a water filter mounted on the first water output tube.
9 . The temperature conditioning device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the water exit connector has
an outer end protruding out of the container and connected to the first water output tube; an inner end protruding into the container; and a duct mounted on the inner end of the water exit connector and protruding inward into the container.
10 . The temperature conditioning device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein
the container of the heat exchange unit has an opening formed through the container; the heat exchange unit further has a cap mounted on the container and mounted around the opening of the container; and the water exit connector, the water return connector and the check valve are mounted through the cap on the container.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
