Abstract
Description
SCOPE OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a portable water purification bottle designed for outdoor enthusiasts, travelers, and everyday use. This bottle offers advanced water filtration and integrates multiple functions, including UV sterilization, heating, lighting, and device charging. It provides safe drinking water while serving as a practical tool in off-grid environments. This multifunctional design meets the need for a versatile, practical solution that combines hydration and utility, making it ideal for various outdoor environments. BACKGROUND
[0002] Access to clean water in remote areas or outdoors is often unreliable, leading to potential exposure to harmful microorganisms and contaminants. Conventional water filtration methods may not provide adequate safety, and additional features such as heating and lighting are often required in outdoor settings. Conventional water bottles typically lack multifunctionality, requiring users to carry multiple devices to meet different needs such as lighting or heating. The present invention aims to combine these functions into a portable unit that provides clean water, heat, light, and power in a single, compact design. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The portable water purification bottle is an innovative solution that combines advanced water filtration with a range of practical features. The bottle features a UV-C sterilization system, a two-stage filtration unit, an adjustable drinking spout for easy handling, and a heating coil to maintain water temperature. With its integrated LED lighting system, the bottle can also serve as a lantern and offers the ability to charge devices via a solar-powered battery. This invention is ideal for people in off-grid environments, ensuring access to clean water, light, heat, and electricity. The bottle's solar, battery, and AC power options make it versatile for different environments and user needs. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0004] The portable water purification bottle consists of several key components that work together to provide purified water and multifunctional benefits: 1. Adjustable sipper: o A food-grade, BPA-free plastic sipper that offers ergonomic flow control. The adjustable design allows for easy drinking for both adults and children. 2. UV-C lamps: o The UV-C lamps integrated into the bottom of the bottle emit germicidal light to sterilize the water. This process destroys the DNA of bacteria and viruses, ensuring the water is safe for consumption, especially if it comes from unsafe water sources. 3. Illumination light function: o The bottle is equipped with an LED lighting system that illuminates the water and transforms the bottle into a lantern. This feature is ideal for outdoor use at night, as it increases visibility while also providing aesthetic value. 4. Advanced filter system: o The filter unit, located beneath the drinking fountain, includes a membrane filter for microfiltration and a layered filter to remove larger contaminants. This two-stage system removes harmful microorganisms and deposits, leaving the water clean and palatable. 5. Solar sleeve with rotating axis: o A solar sleeve at the bottom of the bottle captures solar energy through its flexible photovoltaic material. The rotating axis allows for optimal positioning for maximum solar radiation and provides a sustainable energy source for the bottle's functions. 6. Small heating coil: o A low-power heating coil at the bottom maintains the water temperature, making the bottle suitable for hot beverages like tea or coffee. This feature is especially useful in cold weather conditions. 7. Kettle functionality with alternating current: o When connected to an AC power source, the bottle functions like a kettle, quickly heating water for beverages, soups, or sterilizing. This versatile feature allows the bottle to be used in both off-grid and home environments. 8. Energy options: o The bottle is powered by solar energy, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, or an AC power source, providing flexibility for different environments and uses. This ensures that the bottle remains functional in urban, remote, or off-grid environments. Operation Process:
[0005] The user fills the bottle with water, which passes through the filter system. UV-C lamps sterilize the water, and the LED light can be activated for illumination. The bottle can also be used as a portable power bank, charging devices using solar energy or battery backup. If necessary, the heating coil or boiler function can be activated to maintain or increase the water temperature.
