MOISTURE ABSORPTION CONTAINER
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims the benefit of the Taiwan patent application No. 102148560, filed on December 26, 2013, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a container, and more particularly to a moisture absorption container for absorbing material contained therein to be quickly dried, so as to achieved dehumidification.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional dehumidifier has a container. The container has a first chamber and a second chamber below the first chamber The absorbing material such as calcium chloride is filled in the first chamber of the container.
Moisture absorbed by the absorbing material is collected in liquid state in the second chamber of the container, but the liquid is difficult to recycle.
Therefore, the liquid in the second chamber is mostly poured into the drainage system, and the container is then thrown away for disposal. This causes enviromnental pollution and waste of resources.
To solve the problem that the conventional moisture absorption product cannot be reused, a reusable moisture absorption product is provided. The moisture absorptioll product has a body, an electrothermal assembly, and multiple absorbing elements. The electrothermal assembly is mounted in the body. The absorbing elements are filled in the body to absorb moisture in the air. The electrothermal assembly can convert the electrical energy into heat to dry the absorbing elements that absorb moisture. Therefore, the moisture absorption product can be reused.
However, the manufacture cost and the consumption of electricity of the moisture absorption are increased due to the electrothermal assembly. The electrothennal assembly mounted in the body decreases a capacity for containing the absorbing elements of the body, and a dehmnidiing capacity of the moisture absorption product is low. Thus, the process of drying the absorbing elements has to be actuated frequently. The operation of the moisture absorption product is inconvenient, and the life of the electrothermal assembly is short.
The main objective of the invention is to provide a moisture absorption container that enables the absorbing elements contained therein to be quickly dried for enhanced dehumidifying effects.
The moisture absorption container has a can and a ventilation guide.
The can has a chamber and multiple first holes. The chamber is formed in the can. The first holes are formed through the can and are in communication with the chamber. The ventilation guide is mounted in the can and has a guide hole and multiple through holes. The guide hole is axially formed through the ventilation guide. The through holes are radially formed through the ventilation guide and are in communication with the guide hole and the chamber.
No electrothermal assembly is mounted in the moisture absorption container, such that manufacture cost and consumption of electricity are both reduced. Furthennore, a capacity of the moisture absorption container is
I
enlarged for containing the absorbing elements, and then an absorption effect of the moisture absorption container is promoted.
The ventilation guide is mounted in the can for guiding moisture and heated air blown by an external electrothermal assembly to flow into the chamber of the can. Thus, the saturated absorbing elements in the moisture absorption container can be quickly dried for good absorbing effects.
