Portable Sauna Pail With Integrated Lighting And Audio
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sauna pails are limited to only storing water and are not portable or adaptable, as they are often fixedly installed and lack additional functional features such as lighting and sound capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A portable sauna pail with a container for storing liquids, integrated light sources, a wireless loudspeaker, rechargeable battery, and a frame with feet, allowing for enhanced functionality like lighting in dark spaces and improved sound quality through the use of a waterproof loudspeaker and microphone, along with temperature tolerance and adjustable components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a fixed installation with electrical supply connection is used for illuminated sauna pails, then lighting functionality is achieved, but portability and location flexibility are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple functions (lighting, sound, water storage) into a single portable sauna pail device. The device can serve as both a traditional sauna water container and an entertainment system with wireless speaker and lighting, eliminating the need for separate fixed installations while providing comprehensive functionality in a mobile unit
2Adaptability or versatility
If electronic components are placed inside the sauna pail container, then integrated functionality is achieved, but temperature tolerance and component protection become problematic
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the device into distinct functional compartments: the upper container stores water, while the lower section houses electronic components (battery, speaker, lighting). This segmentation protects electronics from direct heat exposure while maintaining integrated functionality, as the water container can be separated or the electronics positioned in a cooler zone below the water line
3Adaptability or versatility
If a multifunctional design with additional components is implemented, then versatility and entertainment features are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines traditionally separate items (sauna water pail, portable speaker, rechargeable lighting) into a single integrated device. The frame structure serves dual purposes as both structural support and housing for electronic components, while the container serves as both water storage and a protective enclosure, reducing overall system complexity despite added functionality
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables a multifunctional device that can be easily moved and used in various settings, providing both storage and entertainment features, such as lighting and sound, while maintaining temperature tolerance and efficient component cooling.
Implementation Method 1
at least one light source arrangement (130), which has been arranged so that at least a portion of light produced by the light source arrangement is reflected outside the receptacle through the container (104) and/or through the liquid within the container
Implementation Method 2
the receptacle and electrical components used therein reach a good temperature tolerance because the components can be arranged below the container, wherein a liquid within the container cools the components below the container
