Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of portable water container devices, and particularly relates to a multifunctional liquid heater that can utilize solar energy. Background Art
[0002] For soldiers in field operations, it is very difficult to drink a cup of warm water in the freezing wild when there is no way to make a fire. For soldiers who are short of water and hungry, if they eat snow to sustain life, it will cause great harm to the body, especially to the stomach. Fighting with a bad stomach will reduce the combat ability, which may lead to the failure of the battle and even the sacrifice of life.
[0003] At the same time, with the development and progress of society, most people have got rid of the survival limit of food, and pay more and more attention to spiritual pursuits such as traveling. In particular, self-guided tours with a higher degree of freedom are favored by most people. However, we often encounter problems such as running out of fuel when wanting to heat a liquid, the inability to start due to a leaking car battery, and the lack of power for electrical appliances, which spoils the interest of traveling.
[0004] Currently, most water containers are water cups with heat preservation functions. However, even if the heat preservation function of the water cup is excellent, it cannot continuously provide heat for the water in the cup. At the same time, although a hot water kettle can provide heat for water, when traveling in the wild or during military operations, the hot water kettle lacks the energy to support heating. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on the above problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a solar liquid heater, which includes a cup cover, an inner container, a thin-film solar component, a heating component, a base, a protection device, a weak-current output port, and a thermometer. The base includes a storage battery and a control component. It can use the thin-film solar component to absorb solar energy and convert it into electrical energy during the day on sunny days, so as to provide the heating component with the required electricity for heating in the wild or other situations lacking power sources. At the same time, the excess electricity can be stored in the storage battery for use at night or on cloudy days. At the same time, the liquid heater can be used as a thermometer, an outdoor heating device, and a mobile power source. The solar liquid heater provided by the present invention has the advantages of being convenient to carry, multifunctional, and capable of continuously providing electrical energy.
