Benefits of technology

The cooling and heating cup holder described in the patent reduces heat loss by eliminating thermal resistance and improves efficiency by minimizing necessary thermal capacity. This results in faster cooling or heating of the beverage and increases productivity while keeping the cup holder thin and lightweight.

Problems solved by technology

However, in this construction, the thermoelectric block itself serves as a resistance, causing thermal conductivity to be low, which makes it difficult to actually show a cooling and heating effect sufficiently.

Abstract

A cooling and heating cup holder includes a holder body having a container shape, formed of a thermally conductive material, having a substantially uniform thickness, and having a contact portion pressed from an inner side to integrally protrude outward from one side surface thereof and having a contact surface forming a predetermined plane; a Peltier element including an operation surface and a heat radiating portion having an opposite row opposite to the operation surface and installed such that the operation surface is directly attached to the contact surface at an outer side of the holder body to transfer heat to the contact surface; and an air conditioner including a heat radiating duct in which the heat radiating portion of the Peltier element is buried and a blowing fan for blowing out air at one side of the heat radiating duct.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims priority of Korean Patent Application Number 10-2012-0101437 filed Sep. 13, 2012, the entire contents of which application is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]1. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a cooling and heating cup holder mounted to a vehicle and the like to receive a cup and cool and heat the cup.[0004]2. Background Art[0005]A cup holder is provided in a vehicle and the like. The cup holder generally includes a simple holding function, but a cup holder also having a cooling and heating function is being introduced according to a vehicle.[0006]A representative patent document for such a cup holder is KR 10-2005-0057805 A, in which a heat transfer block is coupled to a case of the cup holder and a thermoelectric element is attached to the heat transfer block so that heat can be transferred to a container through the thermoelectric...
