Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of moisture-absorbing products, and particularly to moisture-absorbing devices.

Background Art

[0002] A moisture-absorbing device is a common moisture-proof and dehumidifying product. By actively adsorbing moisture in the air with a moisture absorbent, it can effectively reduce the humidity in a sealed space (such as a closet, shoe box, storage box, etc.), and prevent the growth of mold due to moisture on items such as clothes and documents. Among conventional moisture-absorbing devices, there are those that add additional functions other than moisture absorption in the space, improving the functional diversity and usage scenarios of the moisture-absorbing device. However, existing moisture-absorbing devices have a problem that if the entire moisture-absorbing module and functional module are sealed using a breathable membrane or no breathable membrane is installed on the entire moisture-absorbing device, the functional module and the moisture-absorbing module will mix, and the functional module cannot volatilize to the maximum extent, inhibiting functionality. Therefore, there is an urgent need to research and develop a moisture-absorbing device that solves the above technical drawbacks.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] The object of this invention is to provide a moisture-absorbing device that can ensure the effective release of additional functions other than the moisture-absorbing function, and at the same time prevent interference from the moisture-absorbing function to the additional functions.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] To achieve the above object, the moisture-absorbing device provided by this invention has the following specific embodiments: The moisture-absorbing device includes a moisture-absorbing housing, and a receiving groove is provided in the moisture-absorbing housing. The receiving groove is divided into at least one moisture-absorbing area and at least one functional area, and the functional area and the moisture-absorbing area are isolated from each other. A breathable membrane is provided on the top of the moisture-absorbing housing, and the breathable membrane shields the moisture-absorbing area.

[0005] Compared to conventional technology, the moisture absorption device of this invention divides the housing groove of the moisture absorption housing into at least one moisture absorption region and at least one functional region that are isolated from each other, and by providing a permeable membrane above the moisture absorption region, it prevents water from overflowing from the moisture absorption region, physically separates them within the same moisture absorption housing, and enables the independent housing of the moisture absorption unit and the functional release member. At the same time, the moisture absorption region performs the basic function of moisture absorption through the permeable membrane, while the functional release member in the functional region comes into direct contact with air, allowing the moisture absorption device to be given additional functions such as fragrance, deodorization, odor removal, and insect repellent. It prevents mutual mixing, adsorption, or adverse reactions between the moisture absorption unit in the moisture absorption region and the functional release member in the functional region, and ensures that the functional release member in the functional region can directly volatilize its effects without being hindered by the permeable membrane, thereby achieving multi-functional integration while solving the drawback of release inhibition caused by the sealing or mixing of additional functions.

[0006] In some embodiments, at least one functional emission member is housed within the functional region. By housing at least one functional release component within the functional area, at least one release function can be stably added within the functional area, thereby achieving the objective of improving the functional versatility of the moisture absorption device.

[0007] In some embodiments, the functional release member is one of a fragrance unit, a deodorizing unit, an odor-eliminating unit, and an insect-repellent unit. By limiting the functional release component to one of the following: a fragrance unit, a deodorizing unit, an odor-eliminating unit, or an insect-repellent unit, the moisture absorption device can be provided with multiple selectable release functions, expanding the functional scenarios of the moisture absorption device. Users can then select different release functions as needed, significantly improving the practicality and applicability of the product.

[0008] In some embodiments, the functional release member is one of a functional release gel, functional release particles, functional release block, and functional release bag. By limiting the functional release component to one of the following: functional release gel, functional release particles, functional release block, or functional release bag, it is possible to select a functional release component with a different carrier shape according to different usage needs.

[0009] In some embodiments, when the functional emission member is a functional emission gel or a functional emission block, a fixing member is provided within the functional area, and the functional emission member is connected to the fixing member and fixed within the functional area. By providing a fixing member within the functional area, if the functional release member is a functional release gel or functional release block, the functional release member is connected and fixed within the functional area, effectively preventing displacement, tipping, or adhesion to the area wall during transport or use, and ensuring the cleanliness of the product and stable release of its function.

[0010] In some embodiments, the fixing member is an engaging member protruding from the bottom of the housing groove or the inner wall of the housing groove, and the functional release member is engaged with the engaging member. By limiting the fixing members to engaging members protruding from the bottom of the housing groove or the inner wall of the housing groove, a simple and reliable mechanical fixing method is provided for fixing the functional discharge member within the functional area by utilizing the engagement between the engaging member and the functional discharge member, thereby facilitating the rapid installation and positioning of the functional discharge member.

[0011] In some embodiments, a plurality of engagement members are provided, the plurality of engagement members are formed surrounding an engagement region, the functional discharge member is provided within the engagement region, and the outer peripheral wall of the functional discharge member is engaged with the plurality of engagement members. By forming multiple engaging members around the engaging area, the functional release member can be positioned and fixed from multiple directions, thereby increasing the stability and reliability of the fixation.

[0012] In some embodiments, an engagement groove is provided on the functional release member, and the engagement groove is engaged with the engagement member. By providing an engagement groove on the functional discharge member body for integration with an engaging member, rapid attachment and stable connection of the functional discharge member within the functional area are achieved.

[0013] In some embodiments, a sealing membrane is provided above the permeable membrane, and the sealing membrane is connected to the moisture-absorbing housing to shield the moisture-absorbing region or to shield the moisture-absorbing region from the functional region. By adding a sealing membrane above the permeable membrane, the moisture-absorbing area is sealed during the storage and transportation of the product, preventing the moisture-absorbing units within the moisture-absorbing area from deteriorating prematurely due to moisture, or preventing the moisture-absorbing area from being completely sealed to the functional area. Building on the foundation of preventing the moisture-absorbing units within the moisture-absorbing area from deteriorating prematurely due to moisture, it is also possible to prevent the functional release components within the functional area from prematurely volatilizing or detaching from the functional area, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the product and the stability and safety of its transportation and storage.

[0014] In some embodiments, the sealing film is an impermeable aluminum film or an impermeable plastic film. By limiting the sealing membrane to an impermeable aluminum film or an impermeable plastic film, sealing reliability is ensured, while material costs are low, processing is easy, and it is suitable for application in large-scale production. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] Based on the above technical solutions, this invention has the following beneficial effects compared to the prior art: The accommodating groove of the moisture-absorbing housing is divided into at least one moisture-absorbing area and at least one functional area that are isolated from each other, and a breathable film is provided above the moisture-absorbing area, so as to prevent the water in the moisture-absorbing area from overflowing, physically divide within the same moisture-absorbing housing, and enable the moisture-absorbing unit and the functional release member to be independently accommodated. While the moisture-absorbing area realizes the basic function of moisture absorption through the breathable film, the functional release member in the functional area is in direct contact with the air, and additional functions such as fragrance, deodorization, odor removal, and insect prevention can be imparted to the moisture-absorbing device. It prevents the mutual mixing, adsorption or occurrence of adverse reactions between the moisture-absorbing unit in the moisture-absorbing area and the functional release member in the functional area, ensures that the functional release member in the functional area can directly volatilize its efficacy without being hindered by the breathable film, realizes the integration of multiple functions, and at the same time solves the drawback of release inhibition caused by the sealing or mixing of the additional function.

Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention

[0017] To make the present invention easier to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification. Unless otherwise specified or defined, the terms "first," "second," etc. used in this specification are only used to distinguish names and do not represent specific numbers or orders. Unless otherwise specified or defined, the term "and / or" used in this specification includes any or all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. In addition, the terms "fixed to" and "connected to" in this specification may be directly fixed or connected to one component, or may be indirectly fixed or connected to one component.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the moisture absorption device provided in this embodiment includes a moisture absorption housing 100, a storage groove 110 is provided in the moisture absorption housing 100, the storage groove 110 is divided into at least one moisture absorption region 111 and at least one functional region 112, and the functional region 112 and the moisture absorption region 111 are isolated from each other.

[0019] Specifically, at least one partition plate 120 is provided in the storage groove 110 to divide the storage groove 110 into at least one moisture absorption region 111 and at least one functional region 112. During actual production, the corresponding number of partition plates 120 can be installed according to actual design requirements to divide the required number of moisture absorption regions 111 and functional regions 112.

[0020] A breathable film 200 is provided on the top of the moisture absorption housing 100. The breathable film 200 shields the moisture absorption region 111 to prevent the liquid generated by the hydration of the moisture absorbed by the moisture absorption unit in the moisture absorption region 111 from overflowing. The moisture absorption unit provided in the moisture absorption region 111 is a general moisture absorption material that can adsorb moisture in the air, such as moisture absorption gel or moisture absorption particles in the prior art, and detailed description is omitted here.

[0021] |At least one functional release member is accommodated in the functional region 112. Thereby, the moisture absorption device has at least one additional function in addition to the basic function of moisture absorption.

[0022] The functional release component is one of a functional release gel, functional release particles, functional release block, or functional release bag, providing the moisture absorption device with multiple selectable release functions, expanding the functional scenarios of the moisture absorption device, allowing users to select different release functions as needed, and significantly improving the practicality and applicability of the product.

[0023] Furthermore, when actually using functional release members, it is possible to use multiple identical functional release members or multiple different functional release members. Of course, dividing multiple functional areas 112 with partition plates 120 and installing different functional release members within each functional area 112 is also a technical means of adding additional functions to the moisture absorption device.

[0024] Specifically, the functional release component is one of a functional release gel, functional release particles, functional release block, or functional release bag. In actual use, different carrier shapes of functional release components can be adopted according to the user's requirements, thereby meeting the requirements of different users and improving the user experience.

[0025] If the functional release member is a functional release gel or a functional release block, a fixing member is provided within the functional area 112, and the functional release member and the fixing member are connected and fixed within the functional area 112. This effectively prevents displacement, tipping, or adhesion to the area walls during transportation or use, ensuring the cleanliness of the product and stable release of its functions.

[0026] If the fixing member is an engaging member 113 protruding from the bottom of the housing groove 110 or the inner wall of the housing groove 110, the functional discharge member is engaged with the engaging member 113, and by utilizing the engagement between the engaging member 113 and the functional discharge member, a simple and reliable mechanical fixing method is provided for fixing the functional discharge member within the functional area 112, thereby facilitating the rapid installation and positioning of the functional discharge member.

[0027] Multiple engagement members 113 are provided as selectable, and the multiple engagement members 113 are formed surrounding the engagement region. The functional discharge member is provided within the engagement region, and the outer periphery wall of the functional discharge member is engaged with the multiple engagement members 113. It can be understood that the functional discharge member is fixed by being clamped between the multiple engagement members 113.

[0028] Selectively, an engagement groove is provided on the functional release member, and the engagement groove is engaged with the engagement member 113. The functional release member is fixed by utilizing the engagement structure formed by the engagement of the engagement groove and the engagement member 113. Of course, the functional release member may be fixed by other methods, such as adhesive fixing or direct interlocking of the outer wall of the functional release member with the inner wall of the functional area 112, as long as the stability of the functional release member during transportation and storage is ensured.

[0029] A sealing membrane 300 is provided above the permeable membrane 200, and the sealing membrane 300 is connected to the moisture-absorbing housing 100, shielding the moisture-absorbing region 111 or shielding the moisture-absorbing region 111 and the functional region 112. This ensures that at least the moisture-absorbing region 111 is sealed during the storage and transportation of the product, preventing the moisture-absorbing units within the moisture-absorbing region 111 from deteriorating prematurely due to moisture, or preventing the moisture-absorbing region 111 and the functional region 112 from being completely sealed. This also prevents the functional release members within the functional region 112 from prematurely volatilizing or detaching from the functional region 112, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the product and the stability and safety of its transportation and storage.

[0030] In actual use, the sealing membrane 300 employs an impermeable aluminum membrane or an impermeable plastic membrane to ensure the reliability of the seal, while also having low material costs, being easy to process, and being suitable for application in large-scale production.

[0031] Compared to the prior art, the moisture absorption device provided by this invention divides the housing groove 110 of the moisture absorption housing 100 into at least one moisture absorption region 111 and at least one functional region 112 that are isolated from each other, and by providing a permeable membrane 200 above the moisture absorption region 111, it prevents water from overflowing from the moisture absorption region 111, physically separates them within the same moisture absorption housing 100, and enables the independent housing of the moisture absorption unit and the functional release member, while the moisture absorption region 111 performs the basic function of moisture absorption through the permeable membrane 200, The functional release member within the functional area 112 comes into direct contact with the air, allowing the moisture absorption device to be given additional functions such as fragrance, deodorization, odor removal, and insect repellent. This prevents mutual mixing, adsorption, or adverse reactions between the moisture absorption unit in the moisture absorption area 111 and the functional release member in the functional area 112, ensuring that the functional release member in the functional area 112 can directly volatilize its effects without being obstructed by the air permeable membrane 200. This achieves multi-functional integration while simultaneously solving the drawback of release inhibition caused by the sealing or mixing of additional functions.

[0032] Based on the disclosures and teachings of the specification above, those skilled in the art in which the present invention pertains may also make changes and modifications to the embodiments described above. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the present invention should also be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention. Furthermore, some specific terms are used herein, but these terms are used solely for explanatory purposes and do not limit the present invention in any sense. [Explanation of Symbols]
