Referring to
The present application has the beneficial effects below.
In the heated clothing with a tightness adjustable function provided in the present application, the adjustment structure can be disposed within the heated clothing and tighten the fabric of the regions of the heating sheets so that the fabric of the regions corresponding to the heating sheets can better fit a body region, thereby reducing the entry of cold air while reducing the heat loss of the heating sheets and so that heat energy of the heating sheets can be fully utilized in the process of transferring the heat to the human body. Moreover, the adjustment structure is concealed within the heated clothing and does not affect the outer aesthetics of the heated clothing when tightening the heated clothing.
In the embodiments, the heated clothing may be composed of two layers of materials; the heating sheets 6 may be disposed on a surface of the inner liner layer adjacent to the outer fabric layer or a surface of the outer fabric layer adjacent to the inner liner layer. The outer fabric layer is usually made of a windproof and thermal material with a relatively large density, and the inner liner layer may be made of a material with a relatively good warmth retention, such as flannelette. An additional heating layer may also be disposed between the outer fabric layer and the inner liner layer, and the heating sheets 6 are disposed within the heating layer. The heating sheets 6 generate heat energy through heating wires so that the heated clothing can have a thermal effect. The adjustment structure is also disposed to correspond to the heating sheets 6 and configured to tighten the heated clothing so that the heating sheets 6 can tightly fit the human body. Preferably, the adjustment structure is disposed around the back waist region. The heating sheets 6 are disposed between the two layers of fabric of the heated clothing and can provide continuous heat energy transfer and better keep warm in a cold environment. The adjustment structure enables the heating sheets 6 to tightly fit the human body, ensuring a more uniform and more effective heating effect. The adjustment structure may adjust the fitness of the heating sheets 6 according to personal requirements and provide personalized comforts and thermal effects.
In one or more embodiments, the adjustment structure includes an adjustment channel 7 disposed opposite to the heating sheets 6 located in the back waist region, where the adjustment channel 7 is preferably secured to the heating sheets 6; a resilient assembly 3 disposed within the adjustment channel 7; and locking mechanisms 2 connected to two ends of the resilient assembly respectively and configured to lock the resilient assembly.
In the embodiments, the adjustment structure includes the adjustment channel 7 configured to place the resilient assembly 3. The adjustment channel 7 is located in the back waist region and surrounds the back waist. A waist is a relatively narrow region of an upper part of the human body, and a gap between the waist and the heated clothing is the largest, making it easier for cold air entering from a lower hem to fill the interior of the entire heated clothing, so the adjustment channel 7 and the resilient assembly 3 disposed in the back waist region can enable the heating sheets 6 to better fit the human body. Preferably, the resilient assembly 3 used herein is a bungee cord. As another important component of this embodiment, the locking mechanisms 2 are preferably snap hooks herein and are configured to lock the resilient assembly 3. The two ends of the resilient assembly 3 and the locking mechanisms 2 may be securely connected within pockets on two sides of the heated clothing respectively, may pass out of the surface of the heated clothing, or may also be concealed within the heated clothing. For example, if the two ends of the resilient assembly 3 and the locking mechanisms 2 may be concealed within the pockets, concealed openings are required to be disposed within the pockets respectively. The two ends of the resilient assembly 3 are required to pass through the concealed openings disposed within the pockets to be securely connected to the locking mechanisms 2 respectively. The locking mechanisms 2 may control the tension force of the resilient assembly 3 to help the heated clothing to be adapted to different body forms to improve the fitness. When the bungee cord is pulled, a waist and abdomen region of the heated clothing is tightened so that the heating sheets 6 can tightly fit the human body. When the locking mechanisms 2 are pressed, the waist and abdomen region may be loosened a little. The waist and abdomen region may be adjusted to be loosened a little when being too warm and may be tightened a little when being too cold so that the waist and abdomen region of the human body can have a better thermal effect. Moreover, when the locking mechanisms 2 are placed within the pockets respectively, the tightness of the heated clothing can be adjusted with one hand, which is convenient for concealing and adjustment. When the weather is cold, the tightness may be adjusted without taking hands out of the pockets, which is convenient and quick. If the locking mechanisms 2 are directly disposed on the outer surface of the heated clothing, the design process can be reduced, and the operable room for the hands is large, making the adjustment relatively convenient.
