この特許文献１のものは、ペルチェ素子へ流れる電流の向きを正方向と逆方向とに切り替えることによって、吸熱面と放熱面の位置を入れ替えて、飲料物を加温したり冷却したりするものである。この温冷装置は、容器に入れた飲料を筒状部に入れて、加温したり冷却したりするものであるが、この電子冷却部へ給電するためには電源コードが必要であり、温冷装置そのものの持ち運びに際しては、コンセントに対して電源コードの着脱が必要であり、面倒であり、この電源コードが邪魔である。  The thing of thispatent document 1 is changing the direction of the electric current which flows into a Peltier device to a normal direction and a reverse direction, and swaps the position of a heat absorption surface and a heat dissipation surface, and heats or cools a beverage. It is. In this heating / cooling device, a beverage placed in a container is placed in a cylindrical portion to heat or cool the beverage, but a power cord is required to supply power to the electronic cooling portion. When carrying the cooling device itself, it is necessary to attach / detach the power cord to / from the outlet, which is troublesome, and this power cord is an obstacle.

本発明は、このような点に鑑みて、電源コードを必要としない冷却装置を提供するために、飲料物等の被冷却物の冷却には、ペルチェ素子等の電子冷温素子を利用し、この電源としては、キッチンやダイニングなどの設備として普及している電磁誘導加熱装置を利用できる簡易型冷却装置を提供する。  In view of the above, the present invention uses an electronic cooling / heating element such as a Peltier element for cooling an object to be cooled such as a beverage in order to provide a cooling device that does not require a power cord. As a power source, a simple cooling device that can use an electromagnetic induction heating device that is widely used as a facility for kitchens and dining rooms is provided.

The main body has an operation part in the lower part and a cup-shaped container part that can be carried with one hand for storing beverages and the like in the upper part. The operation part generates induced power by the magnetic field of the high-frequency induction magnetic field generating coil. A passive-side coil, an electronic cooling element that operates by direct current based on a current generated by the passive-side coil, a circuit board and a heat-dissipating fan, and a heat-dissipating heat sink for the electronic cooling element, and a receiving opening for the upper surface opening of the operating part The actuating part and the container part are separable in a configuration for receiving the bottom part of the container part, and a thin electrical insulating material is provided on the upper surface of the heat absorbing part of the electronic cooling element. The heat conducting plate joined together forms the bottom surface of the receptacle, and the bottom portion of the container portion is fitted to the receptacle so that the bottom wall of the container portion contacts the thermal conducting plate. An object to be cooled such as a beverage stored in a container part is cooled .

第２発明の冷却装置は、第１発明において、前記作動部の外面に、前記直流によって前記冷却装置の動作中を点灯表示する表示部を備え、前記容器部の外面に飲料等の被冷却物の温度表示部を備えたことを特徴とする。According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cooling device according tothe first aspect, further comprising: a display unit that lights and displays the operation of the cooling device by the direct current on the outer surface of the operating unit; and an object to be cooled such as a beverage on the outer surface of the container unit. The temperature display part is provided.

第１発明では、キッチンの天板やダイニングテーブル板である台座の裏側に配置した高周波誘導磁界発生コイルの磁界中に置いたとき発生する誘起電力によって、ペルチェ素子等の電子冷却素子が作動して、容器部の飲料物等の被冷却物の冷却が行われるため、電源コードを必要としない。このため、冷却装置の持ち運びが便利であると共に、キッチンやダイニングなどの設備として普及している電磁誘導加熱装置の利用範囲が拡大する。また、高周波誘導磁界発生コイルを備えた台座に着脱自在に載置される本体が、下部の作動部と上部の被冷却物収容の容器部を備えることによって、冷却装置の重心が下がって安定した設置ができるものとなる。また、高周波誘導磁界発生コイルを備えた台座に着脱自在に載置される本体は、下部の作動部の上に被冷却物収容の容器部が着脱自在に載置される構成であり、作動部は容器部の底部が着脱自在にセットされる上面開口の受け入れ部を備えるため、容器部の着脱がし易く、使い勝手がよい。このため、容器部を取り外して飲料等を容器部に入れたり、冷却された飲料等を他の容器に移したり等の作業がし易くなる。また、容器部を取り外して水洗いできるため、その場合、下部の作動部へ水が掛かることもなく安全である。更に、放熱用送風機への電力は、電子冷却素子への電力と同じ直流が利用されるため、本体を高周波誘導磁界発生コイルを備えた台座に載置することによって、電子冷却素子への給電と同時に給電できることとなり、放熱用送風機への電力供給の電源コードも不要であり、また、スイッチによるＯＮ−ＯＦＦ制御も必要なく、使い勝手も便利なものとなる。更にまた、容器部が片手で持ち運び可能なコップ状であるため、持ち運びが便利であり、利用し易くなる。In the first aspect of the invention, an electronic cooling element such as a Peltier element is activated by the induced power generated when placed inthe magneticfield of a high-frequency induction magnetic field generating coil disposed on the back side of a pedestal that is akitchen top plate or dining table plate. Since the object to be cooled such as the beverage in the container is cooled, no power cord is required. For this reason, it is convenient to carry the cooling device, and the range of use of the electromagnetic induction heating device that is widely used as facilities such as kitchens and dining areas is expanded.In addition, the main body that is detachably mounted on the pedestal having the high-frequency induction magnetic field generating coil includes a lower operation part and an upper container part for accommodating an object to be cooled, so that the center of gravity of the cooling device is lowered and stabilized. It can be installed. Further, the main body detachably mounted on the pedestal having the high frequency induction magnetic field generating coil is configured such that the container part for accommodating the object to be cooled is detachably mounted on the lower operation part. Is provided with a receiving portion having an upper surface opening in which the bottom portion of the container portion is detachably set. Therefore, the container portion is easy to attach and detach and is easy to use. For this reason, it becomes easy to perform operations such as removing the container portion and putting a beverage or the like into the container portion, or transferring the cooled beverage or the like to another container. Moreover, since the container part can be removed and washed with water, in this case, it is safe without water splashing on the lower working part. Furthermore, since the same direct current as the electric power to the electronic cooling element is used for the electric power to the heat radiating fan, the electric cooling element can be supplied with power by placing the main body on a pedestal equipped with a high frequency induction magnetic field generating coil. Since power can be supplied at the same time, a power cord for supplying power to the heat radiating fan is not necessary, and ON / OFF control by a switch is not necessary, and the usability is convenient. Furthermore, since the container portion has a cup shape that can be carried with one hand, it is convenient to carry and easy to use.

第２発明は、第１発明の効果に加えて、容器部に収納した被冷却物が適温かの否かの見極めや、冷却装置が作動かを確認し易くなり便利である。また、作動部の外面に設けた冷却装置の動作中を点灯表示する表示部は、受動側コイルによって発生する電流に基づく直流によって動作するため、ＬＥＤを採用すれば給電回路も簡素化される。更に、冷却装置を取り上げれば消灯するので、スイッチによるＯＮ−ＯＦＦ制御も必要なく、使い勝手も便利なものとなる。In addition to the effects of the first invention, the second invention isconvenient because it is easy to determine whether or not the object to be cooled stored in the container is at an appropriate temperature and to confirm whether the cooling device is operating. In addition, since the display unit that lights and displays the operation of the cooling device provided on the outer surface of the operation unit is operated by direct current based on the current generated by the passive side coil, the use of the LED simplifies the power feeding circuit. Further, since the light is turned off when the cooling device is taken up, ON / OFF control by a switch is not necessary, and the usability is convenient.

本発明に係る冷却装置は、高周波誘導磁界発生コイルの磁界中に設置されたとき誘起電力を発生する受動側コイルを備え、この受動側コイルによって発生する電流から作られた直流によって作動する電子冷却素子を備え、この電子冷却素子の吸熱部によって被冷却物を冷却するものであり、本発明の実施例を以下に記載する。  The cooling device according to the present invention includes a passive-side coil that generates an induced power when installed in a magnetic field of a high-frequency induction magnetic field generating coil, and is operated by a direct current generated from a current generated by the passive-side coil. An element is provided, and an object to be cooled is cooled by a heat absorption part of the electronic cooling element. Examples of the present invention will be described below.

これを具体的に説明する。図１において、冷却装置１は、高周波誘導磁界発生コイル２Ａを備えた台座３に着脱自在に載置される本体１０を備え、この本体１０は、下部に作動部１１を備え、その上部に飲料などの被冷却物Ｈを収容する上面開口の容器部１２を備える。作動部１１は、高周波誘導磁界発生コイル２Ａの磁界によって誘起電力を発生する受動側コイル４と、この受動側コイル４によって発生する電流に基づく直流によって作動する電子冷却素子５を備え、この電子冷却素子５の吸熱部５Ａによって容器部１２に収納した被冷却物Ｈを冷却する。本体１０は、上面開口の容器形状をなした被磁性体で形成され、図示の形態は全体として片手で持ち運び可能な大きさで上面開口のコップ形状をなす。本体１０の周囲外面には、容器部１２に収納した被冷却物Ｈの温度表示部１８と、冷却装置１の作動中を点灯表示するＬＥＤの表示部１９を備えており、図では容器部１２の周囲外面にこれらを設けた構成である。容器部１２の上面開口には取り外し自在な蓋１２Ａを備えている。容器部１２は、収納した被冷却物Ｈの温度保持のために断熱層１２Ｂを備えた構成である。  This will be specifically described. In FIG. 1, acooling device 1 includes amain body 10 that is detachably mounted on apedestal 3 including a high-frequency induction magneticfield generating coil 2A. Themain body 10 includes anoperating portion 11 at a lower portion and a beverage at an upper portion thereof. Thecontainer part 12 of the upper surface opening which accommodates the to-be-cooled objects H, such as, is provided. Theoperating unit 11 includes a passive side coil 4 that generates an induced power by the magnetic field of the high frequency induction magneticfield generating coil 2A, and anelectronic cooling element 5 that operates by direct current based on a current generated by the passive side coil 4. The to-be-cooled object H accommodated in thecontainer part 12 is cooled by theheat absorbing part 5A of theelement 5.

The outer peripheral surface of themain body 10 is provided with atemperature display unit 18 for the object to be cooled H stored in thecontainer unit 12 and anLED display unit 19 for lighting and displaying the operation of thecooling device 1. It is the structure which provided these in the surrounding outer surface of. Adetachable lid 12 </ b> A is provided in the upper surface opening of thecontainer portion 12. Thecontainer part 12 is the structure provided with theheat insulation layer 12B in order to hold | maintain the temperature of the to-be-cooled material H accommodated.

図１に示すように、作動部１１の内部には、下部から上方に向けて、受動側コイル４、支持部材１３に支持した回路基板６、支持部材１３に支持した放熱用送風機７、電子冷却素子５の放熱用ヒートシンク８、電子冷却素子５を順次配置した構成である。そして、受動側コイル４に対応した周囲面には、空気の取り入れ口９Ａを形成し、放熱用ヒートシンク８に対応した周囲面には、空気の吐出口９Ｂを形成している。図２に示すように、電子冷却素子５の放熱部５Ｂは薄い電気絶縁材１５を介して放熱用ヒートシンク８が組み合わされ、また、電子冷却素子５の吸熱部５Ａは薄い電気絶縁材１６を介して熱良導板１７が組み合わされている。熱良導板１７は容器部１２の底板を形成するため、熱良導板１７の周囲は、容器部１２に収納した飲料等の被冷却物Ｈが漏れないように十分なシール構造になっている。  As shown in FIG. 1, inside theworking unit 11, from the bottom to the top, the passive side coil 4, thecircuit board 6 supported by thesupport member 13, theheat dissipation fan 7 supported by thesupport member 13, and electronic cooling Theheat sink 8 for heat dissipation of theelement 5 and theelectronic cooling element 5 are sequentially arranged. Anair intake port 9 A is formed on the peripheral surface corresponding to the passive coil 4, and anair discharge port 9 B is formed on the peripheral surface corresponding to theheat sink 8 for heat dissipation. As shown in FIG. 2, theheat sink 5B of theelectronic cooling element 5 is combined with theheat sink 8 for heat dissipation via a thinelectric insulator 15, and the heat absorber 5A of theelectronic cooling element 5 is interposed via a thinelectric insulator 16. Aheat conducting plate 17 is combined. Since the heatgood guide plate 17 forms the bottom plate of thecontainer portion 12, the periphery of the heatgood guide plate 17 has a sufficient sealing structure so that the cooled object H such as a beverage stored in thecontainer portion 12 does not leak. Yes.

図２に示すように、電子冷却素子５は、横方向にＮ型半導体とＰ型半導体が交互配列された状態で、隣り合うＮ型半導体とＰ型半導体の一端側が熱良導板で連結されて吸熱部５Ａを構成し、他端側が熱良導板で連結されて放熱部５Ｂを構成する関係によって、全体としてＮ型半導体とＰ型半導体が直列状態に接続された周知の構成である。また、放熱用ヒートシンク８は、アルミニウム等のような熱良導体でもって多数の放熱フィン８Ａを形成している。このような構成によって、電子冷却素子５の放熱部５Ｂの熱は、電気絶縁材１５を介して放熱用ヒートシンク８によって放熱され、電子冷却素子５の吸熱部５Ａは薄い電気絶縁材１６を介して熱良導板１７を冷却する。そして、熱良導板１７の冷却によって、容器部１２に収納した飲料等の被冷却物Ｈが冷却される。作動部１１の内部の熱は、放熱用送風機７の運転によって、空気の取り入れ口９Ａから吸い込んだ空気によって熱交換されて、空気の吐出口９Ｂから放出される。  As shown in FIG. 2, theelectronic cooling element 5 has N-type semiconductors and P-type semiconductors arranged alternately in the lateral direction, and one end side of the adjacent N-type semiconductor and P-type semiconductor is connected by a heat conducting plate. This is a well-known configuration in which an N-type semiconductor and a P-type semiconductor are connected in series as a whole by configuring theheat absorbing portion 5A and connecting the other end with a heat conducting plate to configure theheat radiating portion 5B. Further, the heat sink 8 for heat radiation forms a large number ofheat radiation fins 8A with a good heat conductor such as aluminum. With such a configuration, the heat of theheat radiating portion 5B of theelectronic cooling element 5 is radiated by theheat sink 8 for heat dissipation through theelectric insulating material 15, and theheat absorbing portion 5A of theelectronic cooling element 5 is radiated through the thin electricinsulating material 16. Theheat conducting plate 17 is cooled. And the to-be-cooled object H, such as a drink accommodated in thecontainer part 12, is cooled by the cooling of theheat conducting plate 17. The heat inside theoperating portion 11 is exchanged by the air sucked from theair intake port 9A by the operation of theheat radiating blower 7, and is released from theair discharge port 9B.

図３には電子冷却素子５等への給電回路図を示しており、これにおいて、交流電源２０に接続された高周波誘導磁界発生コイル２Ａと対峙する受動側コイル４に誘起される電力は、整流素子２１Ａで構成した整流回路２１によって整流され、これが平滑コンデンサ２２Ａ、２２Ｂによって平滑されて（＋）（−）で示す直流となる。この直流によって電子冷却素子５、放熱用送風機７の直流電動機７Ａ、及び表示部１９のＬＥＤが動作する。  FIG. 3 shows a power supply circuit diagram for theelectronic cooling element 5 and the like, in which the power induced in the passive side coil 4 facing the high frequency induction magneticfield generating coil 2A connected to theAC power source 20 is rectified. The current is rectified by therectifier circuit 21 configured by theelement 21A, and is smoothed by the smoothingcapacitors 22A and 22B to become a direct current indicated by (+) and (−). Theelectronic cooling element 5, theDC motor 7 </ b> A of theheat radiating fan 7, and the LED of thedisplay unit 19 are operated by this direct current.

このような構成であるため、受動側コイル４が高周波誘導磁界発生コイル２Ａと対峙する位置に冷却装置１を載置して、電磁誘導加熱装置２の電源をＯＮすることによって、交流電源２０から高周波誘導磁界発生コイル２Ａに電力が供給されて受動側コイル４に電力が誘起され、表示部１９のＬＥＤが点灯して動作中であることを表示する。これと共に、電子冷却素子５が動作して容器部１２に収納した飲料等の被冷却物Ｈを冷却し、直流電動機７Ａが始動して放熱用送風機７が運転される。このような動作によって、容器部１２に収納した飲料等の被冷却物Ｈが冷却されるため、温度表示部１８の温度を確認して、又は運転開始から適切な時間経過の後に、冷却装置１を取り上げれば、表示部１９のＬＥＤが消灯すると共に、電子冷却素子５と直流電動機７Ａが運転停止状態となるため、その中の被冷却物Ｈをそのまま飲むことができるし、また他の容器に移し替えることができる。冷却装置１によって被冷却物Ｈを冷却しない場合は、電磁誘導加熱装置２の電源をＯＦＦする。  Due to such a configuration, thecooling device 1 is placed at a position where the passive side coil 4 faces the high-frequency induction magneticfield generating coil 2A, and the electromagneticinduction heating device 2 is turned on, so that theAC power source 20 Electric power is supplied to the high-frequency induction magneticfield generating coil 2A and electric power is induced in the passive coil 4, and the LED of thedisplay unit 19 is lit to indicate that it is operating. At the same time, theelectronic cooling element 5 operates to cool the object H to be cooled such as a beverage stored in thecontainer portion 12, theDC motor 7A is started, and theheat radiating fan 7 is operated. By such an operation, the object to be cooled H such as a beverage stored in thecontainer unit 12 is cooled. Therefore, the temperature of thetemperature display unit 18 is confirmed, or after an appropriate time has elapsed from the start of operation, thecooling device 1 , The LED of thedisplay unit 19 is turned off, and theelectronic cooling element 5 and theDC motor 7A are in an operation stop state, so that the object H to be cooled can be drunk as it is, or in another container. It can be transferred. When the object to be cooled H is not cooled by thecooling device 1, the power source of the electromagneticinduction heating device 2 is turned off.

図４には本発明の実施例２の形態の冷却装置の縦断側面図を示している。実施例１と同様に部分は同一符号を付しており、上記の説明を援用するものとする。実施例１の形態と異なる部分は、本体１０は、作動部１１と容器部１２が分離可能な構成であり、容器部１２が作動部１１の上部に着脱自在に載置された構成である。このため、作動部１１は、高周波誘導磁界発生コイル２Ａの磁界によって誘起電力を発生する受動側コイル４と、この受動側コイル４によって発生する電力に基づく直流によって作動する電子冷却素子５を備え、電子冷却素子５の吸熱部５Ａの上面には、図２に示す構成と同様に薄い電気絶縁材１６を介して熱良導板１７を接合している。そして、作動部１１は、容器部１２の底部を受け入れるように、若干外方に広がった上面開口の受け口２３を形成し、この受け口２３の底面を熱良導板１７が形成する構成である。また、容器部１２の底面壁２４は熱良導板で構成されている。電子冷却素子５等への給電回路図は図３と同様である。  FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal side view of the cooling device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The parts are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, and the above description is incorporated. A different part from the form of Example 1 is that themain body 10 has a configuration in which the operatingpart 11 and thecontainer part 12 can be separated, and thecontainer part 12 is detachably mounted on the upper part of the operatingpart 11. For this reason, the operatingunit 11 includes a passive side coil 4 that generates induced power by the magnetic field of the high frequency induction magneticfield generating coil 2A, and anelectronic cooling element 5 that operates by direct current based on the power generated by the passive side coil 4, Aheat conducting plate 17 is joined to the upper surface of theheat absorbing portion 5A of theelectronic cooling element 5 through a thin electric insulatingmaterial 16 in the same manner as in the configuration shown in FIG. And the action |operation part 11 is the structure which forms the receivingopening 23 of the upper surface opening extended a little outward so that the bottom part of thecontainer part 12 may be received, and theheat conducting plate 17 forms the bottom face of this receivingopening 23. Moreover, thebottom wall 24 of thecontainer part 12 is comprised with the heat conducting plate. The power supply circuit diagram for theelectronic cooling element 5 and the like is the same as FIG.

この構成によって、容器部１２の底面壁２４が熱良導板１７に当接するように、容器部１２の底部を受け口２３に嵌め合わせて載置すれば、実施例１に記載したことと同様に、電子冷却素子５への通電に基づき、吸熱部５Ａによって熱良導板１７が冷却され、それによって容器部１２の底面壁２４が冷却され、容器部１２に収納した被冷却物Ｈが冷却される。このため、容器部１２を取り外して飲料等を容器部１２に入れたり、冷却された飲料等を他の容器に移したり等の作業がし易くなる。また、容器部１２を取り外して水洗いできるため、その場合、下部の作動部１１へ水が掛かることもなく安全な冷却装置１となる。  With this configuration, if the bottom portion of thecontainer portion 12 is fitted and placed in the receivingport 23 so that thebottom wall 24 of thecontainer portion 12 abuts against theheat conducting plate 17, it is the same as described in the first embodiment. Based on energization to theelectronic cooling element 5, theheat conducting plate 17 is cooled by theheat absorbing portion 5A, whereby thebottom wall 24 of thecontainer portion 12 is cooled, and the object to be cooled H stored in thecontainer portion 12 is cooled. The For this reason, it becomes easy to perform operations such as removing thecontainer portion 12 and putting a beverage or the like into thecontainer portion 12 or transferring the cooled beverage or the like to another container. Moreover, since thecontainer part 12 can be removed and it can wash with water, in that case, it will become thesafe cooling device 1 without water splashing on the action |operation part 11 of the lower part.

図５には実施例３の冷却装置の斜視図を示し、図６には図５の冷却装置の縦断側面図を示している。これらにおいて、実施例１と同様の機能部分は同一符号を付しており、上記の説明を援用するものとする。実施例１の形態と異なる部分は、本体１０の形態が上面開口の矩形状等の箱型であり、実施例１と同様に、この本体１０は、下部に作動部１１を備え、その上部に飲料などの被冷却物Ｈを収容する上面開口の容器部１２を備えるが、この作動部１１内に取り付けられる受動側コイル４、電子冷却素子５、回路基板６、放熱用送風機７、放熱用ヒートシンク８の配置が若干異なり、放熱用送風機７によって、一側面に形成した空気の取り入れ口９Ａから吸い込んだ空気は、他側面に形成した空気の吐出口９Ｂから放出される間に、受動側コイル４、電子冷却素子５、回路基板６を冷却する構成である。電子冷却素子５等への給電回路図は図３と同様である。  FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the cooling device of Example 3, and FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal side view of the cooling device of FIG. In these, the same functional parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the above description is incorporated. The part different from the form of the first embodiment is that the form of themain body 10 is a box shape such as a rectangular shape with an opening on the upper surface. Acontainer portion 12 having an upper surface opening for containing an object H to be cooled such as a beverage is provided. 8 is slightly different, and the air sucked from theair intake 9A formed on one side by theheat radiating blower 7 is discharged from theair discharge 9B formed on the other side while the passive coil 4 Theelectronic cooling element 5 and thecircuit board 6 are cooled. The power supply circuit diagram for theelectronic cooling element 5 and the like is the same as FIG.

そして、実施例１同様に、電子冷却素子５の吸熱部５Ａは薄い電気絶縁材１６を介して熱良導板１７が組み合わされており、容器部１２は、その中に入れた水を熱良導板１７によって冷却することによって、この水によってビン、缶、ペットボトル等の容器に入れた飲料の被冷却物Ｈを冷却するのに適する。また、容器部１２によって、飲料以外の被冷却物Ｈの冷却を行うことも可能であり、その場合は、熱良導板１７の上に被冷却物Ｈを載置すればよい。  As in the first embodiment, theheat absorbing portion 5A of theelectronic cooling element 5 is combined with aheat conducting plate 17 through a thin electrical insulatingmaterial 16, and thecontainer portion 12 heats the water contained therein. By cooling with theguide plate 17, the water is suitable for cooling an object to be cooled H of a beverage placed in a container such as a bottle, a can, or a plastic bottle. Moreover, it is also possible to cool the to-be-cooled object H other than a drink with thecontainer part 12, and what is necessary is just to mount the to-be-cooled object H on theheat conducting plate 17 in that case.

本発明は、高周波誘導磁界発生コイル２Ａの磁界中に置いたとき発生する誘起電力によって、ペルチェ素子等の電子冷却素子が作動して、容器部の飲料物等の被冷却物の冷却が行われる冷却装置であるため、本体１０の形態や内部構成は上記に限定されず、本発明の技術範囲において種々の構成に適用できる。  In the present invention, an electronic cooling element such as a Peltier element is actuated by induced electric power generated when placed in the magnetic field of the high-frequency induction magneticfield generating coil 2A, thereby cooling an object to be cooled such as a beverage in a container portion. Since it is a cooling device, the form and internal structure of themain body 10 are not limited to the above, and can be applied to various structures within the technical scope of the present invention.

なお、上記冷却装置１の外面に露出するように、切り替えスイッチを設け、このスイッチによって、ペルチェ素子の電子冷却素子５に掛かる直流の（＋）（−）の極性を逆にして印加するようにすれば、電子冷却素子５の上記吸熱部５Ａが放熱部となり、上記放熱部５Ｂが吸熱部となるように切り替わる。このように切り替えれば、上記冷却装置１は加温装置となり、容器部１２に収容した物品Ｈの加温が可能となるため、簡易型冷温装置を構成できる。  A changeover switch is provided so as to be exposed on the outer surface of thecooling device 1, and this switch is applied so that the polarity of the direct current (+) (−) applied to theelectronic cooling element 5 of the Peltier element is reversed. If it carries out, it will switch so that the saidheat absorption part 5A of theelectronic cooling element 5 may turn into a thermal radiation part, and the saidheat radiation part 5B may become a thermal absorption part. If it switches in this way, since the saidcooling device 1 will become a heating apparatus and the article H accommodated in thecontainer part 12 will be able to be heated, a simple type cooling / heating apparatus can be comprised.
