Solution Overview

Problem

Existing dehumidification bags suffer from moisture absorption during storage and transportation, leading to dehumidifier deterioration or failure due to their double-layer structure, which results in poor dehumidification effectiveness and shortens the dehumidifier's lifespan.

Innovation Solution

A dehumidification bag design featuring a bag body composed of air-permeability films and a moisture-proof layer, where the air-permeability film is covered with a tearable moisture-proof layer to prevent moisture absorption, allowing for self-standing and easy replacement of the dehumidifier, and is placed at the bottom of a wardrobe for enhanced dehumidification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a double-layer structure (outer bag and inner bag body) is used for dehumidification packaging, then the dehumidifier is protected during storage, but the non-woven fabric with air-permeability allows moisture to pass through and absorb by the dehumidifier, causing deterioration or failure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedehumidifier effectivenessVSAvoidmoisture absorption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the protective structure into three distinct layers: an outer bag for mechanical protection, an inner bag made of moisture-proof material to block moisture, and a desiccant layer to absorb any remaining moisture. This segmentation allows each layer to perform its specific function, preventing the dehumidifier from absorbing moisture during storage and transportation while maintaining its effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If the inner bag body uses non-woven fabric with air-permeability, then breathability is achieved, but the dehumidifier absorbs moisture from the air in the outer bag through the permeable fabric

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebreathabilityVSAvoiddehumidifier performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a moisture-proof inner bag as an intermediary layer between the breathable outer bag and the dehumidifier. This inner bag made of moisture-proof material blocks moisture transmission while allowing the outer bag to maintain breathability. The desiccant layer acts as a secondary intermediary to capture any moisture that might penetrate, ensuring the dehumidifier remains protected while the packaging maintains its breathability characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

The present invention relates to a dehumidification bag and a preparation method thereof. The dehumidification bag comprises a bag body including a first side sheet and a second side sheet, the side sheet comprises an air-permeability and/or a composite film, wherein at least all or part of at least one side sheet is an air-permeability film; a moisture-proof layer covers the outside of the air-permeability. The dehumidification bag provided by the present invention provides an air-permeability on the bag body, and adopts heat sealing between the outer surface of the air-permeability layer and the moisture-proof layer, so that the air-permeability and the moisture-proof layer are in close contact without moisture absorption, which effectively prevents damage during transportation and storage. In the process, the air-permeability is in contact with the air in the outer bag and the effect of the dehumidifier becomes poor or invalid; by setting the moisture-proof layer to be tearable, when the buyer uses the dehumidification bag, the moisture-proof layer can be torn off, which is convenient and fast.
