Intelligent moisture-proof fragrance container structure

Abstract

This invention provides a smart moisture-proof spice container structure that enhances moisture-proof and freshness-preserving effects. The container includes a main body and a lid. The lid has a first sealing valve and a second sealing valve connected together. The first sealing valve connects the interior of the lid to the containment space, and the second sealing valve connects the interior of the lid to the external environment. The lid also integrates a controller, a humidity sensing module, and a dehumidification module containing moisture-absorbing material and a heater. When the humidity value detected by the humidity sensing module is higher than a preset threshold, the controller controls the first sealing valve to open and activates the dehumidification module to reduce the humidity in the containment space. When the dehumidification module reaches saturated humidity, the controller controls the heater to activate and heat the moisture-absorbing material, and simultaneously controls the second sealing valve to open, allowing the moisture generated by the heating to be discharged to the external environment through the second sealing valve.

Description

Intelligent moisture-proof fragrance container structure Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of food preservation container structures, and more particularly to a smart moisture-proof spice container structure for spices, flavoring powders, or other moisture-sensitive foods. Prior Technology

[0002] Commercially available spice containers typically only have a simple sealing structure or contain disposable desiccant to absorb moisture. However, such traditional designs usually have the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. It is impossible to detect changes in humidity inside the container in real time, making it difficult for users to monitor the storage status.

[0004] 2. The desiccant needs to be manually replaced after it becomes saturated with moisture, which is inconvenient to use and maintain;

[0005] 3. During the opening and closing of the container, external moisture can easily enter, causing the spices to become damp, clump, or even spoil.

[0006] 4. The sealing structure and dehumidification mechanism are independent of each other and lack coordinated control.

[0007] Therefore, existing spice containers are still insufficient to maintain stable low humidity storage conditions for extended periods in humid environments.

[0008] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, this invention proposes a smart moisture-proof fragrance container structure that can actively regulate humidity while also ensuring a sealing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a smart moisture-proof fragrance container structure that can detect the humidity inside the container in real time and automatically activate the dehumidification module when the humidity exceeds a preset value. At the same time, it maintains an airtight seal when not in use through a smart sealing valve to effectively inhibit the entry of external moisture, thereby improving the preservation quality and ease of use of fragrances.

[0010] To solve the above problems and achieve the purpose of this invention, the technical means of this invention is as follows: a smart moisture-proof fragrance container structure, comprising: a container body having a receiving space and an opening; a lid covering the opening of the container body, wherein a first sealing valve and a second sealing valve are provided on one side of the lid, the first sealing valve connecting the interior of the lid to the receiving space, and the second sealing valve connecting the interior of the lid to the external environment; and a control module disposed within the lid, wherein the control module includes a controller and a humidity sensing module. A dehumidification module is disposed within the cover and electrically connected to the control module. The dehumidification module includes a moisture-absorbing material and a heater. When the humidity value detected by the humidity sensing module is higher than a preset threshold, the controller controls the first sealing valve to open and activates the dehumidification module to reduce the humidity in the containment space. When the dehumidification module reaches a saturated humidity state, the controller controls the heater to activate to heat the moisture-absorbing material and simultaneously controls the second sealing valve to open so that the moisture generated by heating is discharged to the external environment through the second sealing valve.

[0011] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the humidity sensing module further includes a first sensor disposed at the bottom of the cover for detecting the humidity in the accommodating space, and a second sensor disposed inside the cover and adjacent to the moisture-absorbing material for detecting the humidity inside the cover.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a display interface is provided on the top of the cover to display the environmental parameters detected by the humidity sensing module.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a USB-C interface is provided on one side of the cover to provide power to the control module and the dehumidification module.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, a power supply element is further provided inside the cover, which is electrically connected to the control module.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the first sealing valve is located at the bottom of the cover, while the second sealing valve is located at the top of the cover.

[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following effects and functions compared with the prior art:

[0017] Firstly, this new type of container uses a first sensor to monitor environmental parameters within the container space in real time. Combined with the linkage between the controller and the first sealing valve, it solves the problem of traditional containers only being able to passively prevent moisture. When the internal humidity exceeds the standard, it can actively dehumidify, ensuring that the fragrance is in the best dry state for a long time.

[0018] Secondly, this new invention monitors the saturation of the moisture-absorbing material through a second sensor and utilizes the synchronous operation of the heater and the second sealing valve to allow the desorbed moisture to be directly discharged into the external environment. This allows the moisture-absorbing material to be recycled, eliminating the burden of frequent manual replacement of consumables and environmental pollution, thereby achieving the effects of automatic regeneration of consumables and waste reduction.

[0019] Thirdly, this new model integrates the control module, dehumidification module, and power supply components into the cover, which not only saves external space but also allows users to monitor environmental data at any time through the display interface. At the same time, the USB-C interface on the side provides a standardized power source, greatly improving the convenience of operation.

[0020] Fourthly, this new invention, through the design of the first and second sealing valves, can maintain excellent airtightness between the cover and the container body in non-use states other than dehumidification or regeneration operations, effectively blocking the penetration of external air and water vapor.

[0023] [Figure 2] is an exploded view of the present invention.

[0024] [Figure 3] is a schematic diagram of the implementation of this invention. Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, a smart moisture-proof fragrance container structure is disclosed, comprising: a container body (1) having a receiving space (11) and an opening (12); a cover (2) covering the opening (12) of the container body (1), and a first sealing valve (21) and a second sealing valve (22) connected to each other on one side of the cover (2), the first sealing valve (21) connecting the inside of the cover (2) to the receiving space (11), and the second sealing valve (22) connecting the inside of the cover (2) to the external environment; a control module (3) disposed in the cover (2), and the control module (3) including a controller (31) and a humidity sensing module (32); and a dehumidification module. (4), which is located inside the cover (2) and electrically connected to the control module (3), and the dehumidification module (4) includes a moisture-absorbing material (41) and a heater (42); when the humidity value detected by the humidity sensing module (32) is higher than a preset threshold, the controller (31) will control the first sealing valve (21) to open and start the dehumidification module (4) to reduce the humidity in the accommodating space (11). When the dehumidification module (4) reaches a saturated humidity state, the controller (31) will control the heater (42) to start to heat the moisture-absorbing material (41), and simultaneously control the second sealing valve (22) to open so that the water generated by heating is discharged to the external environment through the second sealing valve (22).

[0027] By switching between the first sealing valve (21) and the second sealing valve (22), it is possible to automatically determine when to perform "internal dehumidification" or "external regeneration". When the moisture-absorbing material (41) is saturated, the heater (42) can be started by the controller (31) and the second sealing valve (22) can be opened simultaneously to discharge the desorbed water vapor directly to the external environment, so that the moisture-absorbing material (41) can be recycled, eliminating the burden of frequent manual replacement of consumables and environmental pollution, so as to achieve the effect of automatic regeneration of consumables and waste reduction.

[0028] Secondly, by utilizing the normally closed characteristics of the first sealing valve (21) and the second sealing valve (22), the container body (1) can be kept completely airtight when not in use, preventing external moisture from penetrating. Only when dehumidification or regeneration is required will the controller (31) precisely control the opening of the first sealing valve (21) and the second sealing valve (22) to ensure that the spices are in the best dry state for a long time and extend the shelf life of the spices.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, a display interface (23) is provided on the top of the cover (2) to display the environmental parameters detected by the humidity sensing module (32).

[0030] The display interface (23) is located in a prominent position on the top of the cover (2), allowing users to directly read the environmental parameters detected by the first sensor (321) and the second sensor (322) without opening the cover (2) or using other external mobile devices, thereby greatly improving the user's control over the preservation status of the spices.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, a USB-C interface (5) is provided on one side of the cover (2) to provide power to the control module (3) and the dehumidification module (4).

[0032] The USB-C interface (5) connects to an external power source, providing a stable and sufficient power source for the control module (3) and the dehumidification module (4). The USB-C interface (5) is a mainstream feature in the market, allowing users to easily use existing charging cables or power banks for power supply. In addition to basic power transmission, the USB-C interface (5) can also be expanded for firmware updates or data synchronization with smart devices. Meanwhile, the side-mounted design maintains the visual cleanliness of the display interface (23) on the top of the cover (2) and does not affect the user's reading of the displayed information when connecting cables.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3, the humidity sensing module (32) further includes a first sensor (321) disposed at the bottom of the cover (2) for detecting the humidity in the accommodating space (11), and a second sensor (322) disposed inside the cover (2) and adjacent to the moisture-absorbing material (41) for detecting the humidity inside the cover (2).

[0034] The first sensor (321) is placed at the bottom of the cover (2) to directly and instantly detect the fragrance storage environment inside the accommodating space (11); while the second sensor (322) placed inside the cover (2) and adjacent to the moisture-absorbing material (41) is specifically used to monitor the operating status of the dehumidification module (4) to avoid detection blind spots or errors that may occur with a single sensor.

[0035] Secondly, the configuration of the first sensor (321) and the second sensor (322) allows the controller (31) to perform logical comparisons. For example, when it is detected that the humidity of the accommodating space (11) is high while the moisture-absorbing material (41) is still dry, it is only necessary to open the first sealing valve (21) to dehumidify. Conversely, if the humidity of both the moisture-absorbing material (41) and the accommodating space (11) is high, the regeneration process can be arranged in a priority or synchronous manner to achieve the effect of intelligent control.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3, a power supply element (6) is further provided inside the cover (2), and the power supply element (6) is electrically connected to the control module (3).

[0037] In this way, through the application of the power supply element (6), when the USB-C interface (5) stops supplying power or is powered off, the power supply element (6) can immediately serve as backup power, ensuring that the control module (3) and the humidity sensing module (32) continuously record environmental parameters, preventing the risk of fragrance deterioration caused by the loss of humidity control in the containment space (11) due to power interruption.

[0038] As shown in Figure 3, the first sealing valve (21) is located at the bottom of the cover (2), while the second sealing valve (22) is located at the top of the cover (2).

[0039] By placing the first sealing valve (21) and the second sealing valve (22) at the bottom and top of the cover (2) respectively, a clear vertical airflow channel can be established. The second sealing valve (22) for regeneration discharge is placed at the top of the cover (2). By utilizing the natural physical property of water vapor rising when heated, the water after heating and desorption can be discharged more smoothly to the external environment through the second sealing valve (22) at the top.

[0040] Secondly, by setting the first sealing valve (21) at the bottom, it can directly connect with the accommodating space (11) of the container body (1) to achieve the shortest dehumidification path. In the non-operating state, the first sealing valve (21) at the bottom can form a stable bottom airtight barrier to ensure that the fragrance is in a dry environment that is not affected by the outside world for a long time.

[0041] Of course, the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
