As shown in fig. 2, the human body cooling system 300 operates as follows:
1. liquid adding: the quick connector 7 of the liquid cooling clothes outlet is in butt joint with the liquid return valve 22, the suction nozzle 14 is taken down from the suction nozzle hanging piece 15, the suction nozzle 14 is placed in liquid to be filled, the suction nozzle 14 is opened, the exhaust valve 11 is closed, and then the micro pump 23 is started to operate. At this time, the inlet of the micro pump 23 is under negative pressure, which causes the pressure in the liquid inlet pipe 5, the flexible liquid bag 9, the suction pipe 13 and the suction nozzle 14 of the liquid cooling suit to be lower than the atmospheric pressure, so that the liquid to be filled is sucked into the liquid cooling suit from the suction nozzle 14. When the liquid in the flexible reservoir 9 reaches a certain level, the micro-pump 23 is stopped and the suction nozzle 14 is closed.
2. Exhausting: under the condition that the liquid cooling clothes inlet quick joint 6 and the liquid cooling clothes outlet quick joint 7 are respectively butted with the liquid outlet valve 21 and the liquid return valve 22, and the micro pump 23 is not operated, the air accumulated on the upper part of the flexible liquid bag 9 can be discharged by opening the exhaust valve 11.

At this time, the liquid in the flexible liquid bag 9 flows out from the liquid outlet 9b, and enters the micro pump 23 through the liquid outlet pipe 5, the outlet quick connector 7 and the liquid return valve 22 in sequence. In the micro pump 23, the liquid is pressurized. The pressurized liquid is pumped into a liquid cooler 24 where the liquid is cooled to a cryogenic liquid in the liquid cooler 24. The low-temperature liquid sequentially passes through the liquid outlet valve 21, the inlet quick connector 6 and the liquid inlet pipe 4 to enter the micro flow channel 3 between the outer fabric layer 1 and the inner fabric layer 2, takes away heat on the surface of a human body, and then returns to the flexible liquid bag 9 through the liquid inlet 9 a.
4. Liquid drainage: when the human body cooling system 300 is not in operation, the liquid discharge valve 16 and the air discharge valve 11 are simultaneously opened, so that the liquid stored in the flexible liquid bag 9 can be emptied.
5. Drinking: when the liquid added to the flexible liquid bag 9 is pure water and the cooling function is not needed for a while, the water in the flexible liquid bag 9 is available for drinking. When drinking, the suction nozzle 14 is taken off from the suction nozzle hanging piece 15 and put into the mouth, and the valve of the suction nozzle 14 is opened, so that water can be conveniently sucked into the mouth from the flexible liquid bag 9 through the suction nozzle 14 and the suction pipe 13.
