Inductive and Photovoltaic Rechargeable Battery Powered Thermoelectric Cooler System for Consumable Liquids or Food

摘要

The premise of the device's operation is employing the Peltier Effect—using thermoelectric coolers—to keep smaller amounts of consumable liquids or food either cold or hot during short distances of travel. The device is a portable metal container with an inner container encompassed by an outer container to provide an insulation moat that aids in maintaining a level interior temperature. The inner container has adhered cascaded thermoelectric coolers—powered by a rechargeable battery (or batteries) using on-board inductive and photovoltaic charging systems—that are equidistance apart. The adhered thermoelectric coolers—depending on the configuration—extract heat from or add heat to the interior of the inner container, resulting in a cooler or hotter temperature respectively. The resulting effect is that consumable liquids or food are made or kept cool or warm.

主权项

1. With an inner metal container surrounded by an outer metal container resulting in an insulating moat in-between, the device has multiple equidistant thermoelectric coolers (TECs) adhered to the inner metal container that provide cooling (with the cool side of the TECs) or heating (with the hot side of the TECs) to consumable liquids or food that are within the cavity of the device.
