Abstract
A portable water bottle includes a water bottle body having water stored therein; and a sterilizing module for irradiating the inside of the water bottle body with sterilizing ultraviolet rays. The sterilizing module further includes a housing having an ultraviolet outlet through which the sterilizing ultraviolet rays pass; a light source module for emitting the sterilizing ultraviolet rays; and a power storage member for supplying power to the light source module.
Claims20
A portable water bottle, comprising:
- a body having a space for storing water;
- a sterilizing module coupled to the body and configured to emit a sterilization light into the body;
- a breakaway prevention portion formed at upper portion of the body and configured to restrict an insertion depth of the sterilizing module into the body;
- and
- a sensor communicatively coupled to the sterilizing module and operable to sense at least one of a user gesture, an occurrence of a predetermined motion of the body or the sterilizing module, or a combination of the user gesture and the occurrence of the predetermined motion of the body or the sterilizing module,
- wherein the sterilizing module is further configured to start and stop emitting of the sterilization light based on a sensing result of the sensor, and comprises:
- a first substrate;
- a light emitting structure disposed on the first substrate and configured to emit the sterilization light, the light emitting structure including a second substrate on which a first conductivity type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a second conductivity type semiconductor layer are disposed;
- an outlet having a path through which the sterilization light emitted from the light emitting structure is discharged outside the sterilizing module;
- and
- a window member disposed on the first substrate and configured to protect the light emitting structure from an exterior of the sterilizing module,
- wherein the second substrate includes an inclined portion and configured to increase an extraction of the sterilization light generated in the active layer.
