Concealing case for dehumidifiers

Abstract

This invention provides a concealed case for dehumidifiers that allows for easy confirmation of the amount of water stored and features a design that harmonizes with the surrounding environment. [Solution] A case for storing a desiccant, comprising a casing 110 for storing a desiccant 170 inside, and one or more windows 120 with a width of 2 mm or more on the side of the case, allowing the internal desiccant and stored moisture to be seen, and an openable and closable lid 130 covering the windows. In addition, a ventilation opening 140 is provided so as not to impair the function of the desiccant. The windows may also serve as openings for replacing the desiccant, and various structures such as groove structures, hinge structures, sliding types, and magnetic types can be applied as opening and closing mechanisms for the lid. The outer surface of the case can also be decorated with carvings or patterns, achieving a design that harmonizes with the atmosphere of the installation location.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cover case for storing a dehumidifying agent.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, commercially available dehumidifying agents (which perform dehumidification by absorbing moisture and storing water) often have a structure in which a moisture absorbent such as calcium chloride is stored in a transparent or translucent container. However, these dehumidifying agents lack aesthetic design.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] Commercially available dehumidifying agents (which perform dehumidification by absorbing moisture and storing water) lack aesthetic design and are not suitable for installation in conspicuous places such as entrances, living rooms, around display cases, or antique furniture. Also, when the case is completely covered to conceal it, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to check the amount of water stored.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] While providing a concealing structure to cover the appearance of the dehumidifying agent, it is configured to be able to absorb moisture without impairing the function as a dehumidifying agent. Further, by providing a window portion on the side and a lid that can be opened and closed, the amount of water stored can be easily checked.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a cover case for a dehumidifying agent that can cover the appearance of the dehumidifying agent and easily check the amount of water stored. Furthermore, since the outer surface of the case can be decorated with carvings, patterns, etc., it can be designed to harmonize with the atmosphere of the installation location.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[Figure 2] Cross-sectional view of the first embodiment of the present invention along line AA [Figure 3] A perspective view showing a dehumidifier cover case according to a second embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] A perspective view showing a dehumidifier cover case according to a third embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0007] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, with reference to Figure 1, the overall structure of a dehumidifier cover case according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The dehumidifier cover case 100 includes a casing 110 in which a dehumidifier 170 can be stored inside, a water level confirmation window 120 on the side of the casing 110 that allows the internal dehumidifier 170 and stored moisture to be visually inspected, and an openable and closable water level confirmation window lid 130 that covers the water level confirmation window 120.

[0008] Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view along line AA of the first embodiment of the present invention. The dehumidifier cover case 100 is equipped with a ventilation opening 140 so as not to impair its function as a dehumidifier. The casing 110 has space inside for storing the dehumidifier 170. A water level confirmation window cover 130 is attached to the water level confirmation window 120. The dimensions of the water level confirmation window 120 are set to a width of 2 mm or more to ensure visibility of the water level. As for the opening and closing method of the water level confirmation window cover 130, in addition to the form using the groove structure of the joinery as shown in Figure 2, various opening and closing methods can be adopted, such as a hinge structure, a sliding type, a magnetic type, etc.

[0009] In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, a sliding mechanism is used for opening and closing the water level confirmation window cover 130, but this is just one example of the other opening and closing methods described above. Furthermore, a lid 160 for the desiccant replacement port is attached to the desiccant replacement port 150. As shown in Figure 3, the opening and closing mechanism of the desiccant replacement port lid 160 can be a sliding type, or various other attachment and detachment structures can be used, such as a hinge structure or a magnetic type.

[0010] Furthermore, as shown in the embodiment in Figure 4, the size of the water level confirmation window 120 can be enlarged to a size that allows the dehumidifier 170 to be replaced, thereby also serving as a dehumidifier replacement port 150. [Explanation of Symbols]
