Abstract
Storage containers include a body with a cavity and a lid having an internal space, connected at an edge to the body. A dehumidifier is within the cavity and is configured to dehumidify air within the cavity. An air stream is created and then split such that dehumidified air is returned to the cavity and wet air is expelled from the system. Electrical features such as the dehumidifier, lighting or lid actuators, are powered by a power source within said internal space. In some embodiments, the power source is a battery and a lid mounted solar panel provides an electrical charge to said battery.
Claims15
A system for managing humidity level in a container comprising:
- a body having a cavity defined by at least one sidewall and a base,
- wherein said cavity contains an air conduit having a dehumidifier,
- a lid rotatably attached to said body,
- said lid having an internal space,
- a power supply configured to provide electrical power to said dehumidifier, and
- wherein said power supply is housed within said internal space of said lid,
- wherein the air conduit contains a baffle that separates air exiting the air conduit into a wet stream and a dry stream,
- wherein the system further comprises a fan configured to expel the wet stream from the system via an exhaust vent.
A system for controlling humidity in an enclosed space comprising:
- a body having a cavity defined by at least one sidewall and a base;
- a lid connected to said body and having an internal space and a cover plate;
- a dehumidifier positioned within an air conduit disposed within said cavity;
- and
- a power source housed within said internal space and providing electrical power to said dehumidifier;
- and
- a scent cartridge,
- wherein the air conduit contains a baffle that separates air exiting the air conduit into a wet stream and a dry stream,
- wherein the dry stream is contained within a dry stream conduit and returned to the cavity via a return vent,
- wherein the wet stream exits the system via an exhaust vent,
- wherein the system further comprises a fan configured to expel the wet stream from the system via the exhaust vent, and
- wherein the dry stream conduit contains a slot that is configured to accept the scent cartridge.
A system for managing the humidity level in a container comprising:
- a lid having an internal space covered by a cover plate;
- a body having a base and at least one sidewall protruding from said base defining a cavity within said body;
- an air conduit positioned on the at least one sidewall;
- a dehumidifier positioned within said air conduit;
- and
- a power supply located within said internal space configured to power said dehumidifier,
- wherein the air conduit contains a baffle that separates air exiting the air conduit into a wet stream and a dry stream, and
- wherein the system further comprises a fan configured to expel the wet stream from the system via an exhaust vent.
