A cooling and ventilation device (10), a cooling hat (20), a cooling shoe and a cooling backpack. The cooling and ventilation device (10) comprises: a housing (100), a ventilation assembly (200), a heat conduction frame (300) and a cooling assembly (400). Two ends of the housing (100) are respectively provided with an air inlet (110) and an air outlet (120). The ventilation assembly (200) is arranged at the position of the air inlet (110), and is used for bringing air into the housing (100). The heat conduction frame (300) is arranged within the housing (100). The cooling assembly (400) comprises semiconductor cooling plates (410) and heat conduction film layers (420), the semiconductor cooling plates (410) being arranged on the heat conduction frame (300), the heat conduction film layers (420) being attached to the side surfaces of the semiconductor cooling plates (410) away from the heat conduction frame (300). When the semiconductor cooling plates (410) are turned on, the sides of the semiconductor cooling plates (410) connected to the heat conduction film layers (420) are cooling ends, and heat in the air entering from the external environment can be absorbed by the heat conduction frame (300) in a rapid and timely manner. Thus, a cooling operation is performed on the air entering from the external environment in a rapid and timely manner, thereby ensuring that an airflow discharged from the air outlet (120) is a cold airflow.

A thermal foot pad assembly includes a foot pad that is insertable into an article of footwear and the foot pad is positioned beneath a user's foot when the user wears the article of footwear. A plurality of pouches is each integrated into the foot pad and each of the plurality of pouches is filled with a thermally conductive gel to cool the user's foot when the user steps on the plurality of pouches. A toe pad is attached to the foot pad and the toe pad is strategically positioned on the foot pad. The toe pad is positioned beneath the user's toes when the user wears the article of footwear. Furthermore, the toe pad is comprised of a thermally conductive material to absorb heat from the user's toes thereby cooling the user's toes.

A rain boot and uniform footwear with an intelligent temperature-controlling air extractor and water-proofing and air-venting functions, includes: a boot upper layer (10), a middle cushion layer (11) and a boot lower layer (12), wherein a miniature air extractor (13) is provided at a position below an instep of the boot bottom layer (12), a magnetic levitation power switch (14), a temperature sensor (15) and a control main board (16) are also provided in the boot bottom layer (12), the temperature sensor (15) being electrically connected to an input end of the control main board (16) and transmitting a temperature sensing signal of the foot to the control main board (16), and an output end of the control main board (16) being electrically connected to the miniature air extractor (13) via the magnetic levitation power switch (14).

A temperature modifying system for footwear having an air diverter positioned on top of the rear portion of the shoe insole, bores passing from an insole aperture beneath the air diverter to a supply port, and an AC system adapted to deliver conditioned air into the shoe through the supply port, bores, insole aperture and air channels located in the air diverter. The AC system is releasably connected to the shoe. A shoe may be retrofitted with the tubular members, supply port and insole aperture post-manufacture by drilling bores through the heel and insole.

A footwear product with an integrated active temperature control system comprising: an upper; a sole comprising an insole comprising one or more thermo-conductive inserts or plugs; a midsole disposed between the insole and an outsole; wherein the midsole comprises one or more cooling elements selected from the group consisting of: an air flow cooling element, a liquid cooling element, a thermoelectric cooling element; and one or more heat sinks disposed in the midsole, outsole or between the midsole and outsole.

The present disclosure generally relates to intelligent garments that provide thermal regulation in a variety of environments. The garments may include different layers such as a hydrophobic layer in direct contact with a wearer's skin surface and saturated with an aqueous mixture, a spacer layer, a reflective layer, and an outer hydrophobic layer. The layers of the garment may work together to reduce the metabolic expenditure of the wearer in extreme environmental conditions or during demanding physical activity. A variety of sensors may be displaced throughout the garments so as to enable the collection of data associated with wearers as well as environmental conditions. Wearers may control the thermal balance and other properties of the garments as desired.
