THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE FOR THERMAL EXPOSURE ON INDIVIDUAL'S HAND Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A61F7/00 H01L35/28 F25B21/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: thermoelectric device for the thermal exposure on an individual's hand comprises a temperature stimulus. Thermoelectric modules of the thermoelectric stimulus are integrated into a flexible elastic base with mounting holes and connected to a programmable power supply by electric leads. The mounting holes are arranged as a line along the base length. On the periphery, the base has a sticky tape and is configured as two cloths of synthetic elastic material sewed together with a kaprone thread along the perimeter of the mounted thermoelectric modules at 2-3 mm from the border. A portion of the cloth extends on the surface of the thermoelectric modules with covering 2-3 mm of the latter along the perimeter. Inner junctions of the thermoelectric modules face the individual's hand and brought into a thermal contact with a flexible thermally aligning plate through heat transfer paste. Outer junctions of the thermoelectric modules contact the flexible metal plates through the heat transfer paste. The metal plates are used as a heat pick up and sewed to the base angularly with the kaprone thread. From the side of the outer joints of the thermoelectric modules, in the entire area the base is brought into a tight mechanical contact with a cuff tubed with a pump, an operation of which is adjusted by a control unit.

EFFECT: using the invention enables simplifying the device design and reducing its dimensions and weight.
