MAGNETIC COOLING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A magnetic cooling device, comprising:
- a magnetocaloric module, comprising;
a bed, forming a first opening and a second opening respectively at a cold end and a hot end of the magnetocaloric module;
a first magnetocaloric member, received in the bed and close to the first opening;
a second magnetocaloric member, received in the bed;
a third magnetocaloric member, received in the bed and close to the second opening, wherein the first, second, and third magnetocaloric members are arranged along a central axis of the magnetocaloric module, and the weight of the third magnetocaloric member exceeds that of the first and second magnetocaloric members;
a magnetic unit, disposed around the magnetocaloric module to provide different magnetic fields to the magnetocaloric module; and
a thermal fluid, sequentially flowing through the first opening, the first, second, third magnetocaloric members, and the second opening, to transfer heat from the cold end to the hot end of the magnetocaloric module.

Abstract
A magnetic cooling device is provided, including a magnetocaloric module and a magnetic unit movably disposed around the magnetocaloric module. The magnetocaloric module comprises a bed, a first magnetocaloric member, a second magnetocaloric member, and a third magnetocaloric member received in the bed, wherein the first and third magnetocaloric members are respectively close to a cold end and a hot end of the magnetocaloric module. Specifically, the first, second, and third magnetocaloric members are arranged along a central axis of the magnetocaloric module, and the weight of the third magnetocaloric member exceeds that of the first and second magnetocaloric members. A thermal fluid sequentially flows through the first, second, and third magnetocaloric members to transfer heat from the cold end to the hot end of the magnetocaloric module.
