Automotive heated and cooled cup holders are the system for retaining and controlling the temperature of a beverage, suitable for installation in an automobile, includes a generally cylindrical, open-topped heat-conductive expandable cupholder, a heat-conductive liner, one or more thermoelectric devices located on a vertical exterior side of the cupholder, a heat sink contacting the thermoelectric device and thermally insulated from the cupholder; and a switch.
The placement of the thermoelectric device and an improved arrangement for contact between the cupholder and the cup enable more efficient heat transfer.
One of the principal drawbacks related to keeping beverages at their proper serving temperature is the tendency for such beverages to assume the ambient temperature in the environment into which they have been placed.
A hot beverage, such as coffee or tea, particularly when served in an uninsulated cup, quickly cools. A cold beverage, such as an iced soda, quickly warms to room temperature, causing the ice to melt and dilute the beverage.
On the other hand, several active heat management systems have been developed, which for space and safety purposes make use of a Peltier or thermoelectric device. Such devices are well known in the art to which the present invention relates and consist essentially of a pair of ceramic plates separated by an array of cubes of bismuth telluride or a similar material.
When a direct current is applied across the device, heat is moved from one side of the device to the other, producing a cooling effect on one side of the device. If the polarity of the current is reversed, the device becomes an efficient heater.
Such devices are generally more efficient at cooling in combination with a heat sink, and because of the polarity-reversing feature of these devices, they are suitable for use where selective heating and cooling operations are desired.
The Global Automotive heated and cooled cup holders market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
