The cooling unit 20 , the temperature sensing unit 30 , the display unit 40 , and the thermoelectric power generation unit 50 are disposed in the device body 10 . The refrigeration unit 20 absorbs heat energy of one of the faces of the user, that is, the ice application device 1 of the present invention mainly uses the refrigeration unit 20 to apply ice to the face of the user. The temperature sensing unit 30 senses the temperature of the user's face. The display unit 40 is electrically connected to the temperature sensing unit 30 to display the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing unit 30. The thermoelectric power generation unit 50 receives or absorbs thermal energy of the user's face and converts it into electric energy, and supplies the electric energy to the refrigeration unit 20, the temperature sensing unit 30, and the display unit 40.

In detail, the device body 10 can include a surface layer 11 and a contact layer 12. The surface layer 11 and the contact layer 12 may be stacked on each other, and since the contact layer 12 will be in contact with the face of the user, the contact layer 12 may be made of a soft material, preferably a rubber material. The remaining components, such as the cooling unit 20, the temperature sensing unit 30, the display unit 40, and the thermoelectric power generation unit 50 are disposed between the surface layer 11 and the contact layer 12, that is, the surface layer 11 and the contact layer 12 are utilized. The refrigeration unit 20, the temperature sensing unit 30, the display unit 40, and the thermoelectric power generation unit 50 are wrapped in the apparatus body 10.

In addition, the surface layer 11 and the contact layer 12 are shaped to fit the face of the person. That is to say, the device body 10 can be provided in a cover type, and is also covered by the face type 10 of the mask type on the face of the user. In the present embodiment, the nose portion, the eye portion and the nose portion of the user are covered as an exemplary embodiment, but not limited thereto. The ice pack 1 of the present invention is mainly used for a user who has a fever, a cold, etc., and therefore, preferably, the contact layer 12 is provided with an opening 121 corresponding to the forehead of the user, whereby the opening 121 is provided. A portion of the refrigeration unit 20 can be exposed or exposed, and can be directly contacted with the forehead of the user, thereby effectively absorbing thermal energy. Similarly, the temperature sensing unit 30 can preferably be disposed adjacent to the forehead of the user to more accurately sense the temperature of the forehead.

In addition, a display area 111 may be formed on the surface layer 11 , which may be a gap corresponding to the penetration of the display unit 40 , or may be a transparent or translucent area corresponding to the display unit 40 . The display surface of the display unit 40 faces the display area 111, so that the temperature value displayed on the display surface of the display unit 40 can be displayed outside, and is easily seen by a person who is watching the user.

Incidentally, the cooling unit 20, the temperature sensing unit 30, and the thermoelectric power generation unit 50 can be packaged into an integrated modular design to facilitate the fabrication of the ice application device 1.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the surface layer 11 may have a heat dissipation zone 60. The heat dissipating area 60 can be arranged in a long rectangular shape by using a plurality of through hole arrays, and the heat dissipating area 60 is located above the middle of the surface layer 11, and is disposed between the surface layer 11 and the contact layer 12 by the heat dissipating area 60. The components are cooled.

Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 for further reference to the first to third use of the ice pack of the present invention.

In the actual operation, the user or the person who cares for the user only needs to place the ice device 1 on the face of the user. When the ice application device 1 is placed on the face of the user, the thermoelectric power generation unit 50 starts to absorb a large amount of thermal energy generated when the user has a fever, and converts it into the electric energy required for the cooling unit 20 to cool the user. And the temperature sensing unit 30 senses the user's body temperature and causes the display unit 40 to operate. Among them, the technology for generating power by temperature difference is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, and will not be described again.

When the thermoelectric power generation unit 50 supplies electric energy to the refrigeration unit 20, the refrigeration unit 20 uses electronic condensation control technology to cool and cool the user. The electronic condensation control technology is well known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described again. It is worth mentioning that the cooling unit 20 can also be arranged to cover the shape of the user, the shape of the eyes and the nose, or a plurality of the plurality of eyes, eyes and nose respectively disposed on the user. Thereby, the cooling unit 20 can relieve the nasal congestion and relieve the eyes while cooling the user.

When the temperature sensing unit 30 and the display unit 40 start to obtain electrical energy, the temperature will be automatically displayed, so that others (such as the person who cares for the messenger) can quickly understand the user's current body temperature. The person who cares for the messenger does not need to use additional equipment (such as a thermometer) to check whether the cooling effect or body temperature is decreasing. In addition, the ice device 1 can also include a switch 70, which can be a physical switch or an optical switch. In the present embodiment, an optical switch is used as an exemplary aspect. In a preferred embodiment, the switch 70 can be disposed between the temperature sensing unit 30 and the surface layer 11, and when the switch 70 is provided, there are two implementations. First, after the heat energy is extracted from the thermoelectric power generation unit 50, the refrigeration unit 20 starts to operate, and the temperature sensing unit 30 and the display unit 40 are not activated, and the switch 70 is activated after the switch 70 is turned on. Part of the power is saved and fully supplied to the refrigeration unit 20 for use in order to increase its cooling capacity. The other is that when the ice pack 1 is placed on the user's face, the switch 70 is required to be actuated by the components being turned on. However, the above is only an exemplary aspect and should not be limited to this.

Incidentally, the heat dissipation area 60 may be located below the switch 70 or may be merged into the same area as the switch 70. In the present embodiment, the heat dissipation area 60 is located above the middle of the surface layer 11 and below the switch 70, and is used. The action of the switch 70 can be performed only by placing the hand above the heat dissipation area 60, but it is only an exemplary aspect, and is not limited thereto.

The ice application device of the invention combines a traditional ice pillow, a thermometer and an eye and nose soothing device, and can convert a large amount of thermal energy generated by a patient's fever into electric energy cooled by the patient without using a battery, and the ice application device of the invention It is a versatile and zero-pollution green product. The ice pack of the present invention can also have good durability by being able to convert thermal energy into electrical energy for cooling, and does not need to be placed in a refrigerator or filled with ice, so it does not allow the bed or the use of the bed. Getting wet around the user makes it easy to take care of the patient.

The above is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting. Any equivalent modifications or alterations to the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.
