Electric Pot Capable of Sterilizing Remaining Water - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240032722 titled 'Electric Pot Capable of Sterilizing Remaining Water
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes an electric pot that is capable of sterilizing remaining water. The electric pot includes a base that supplies power, a body with a water accommodation space defined by a bottom and a sidewall, and a heater provided in the bottom. The heater is configured to set an upper plate of the bottom, which is exposed to the water accommodation space, as a heating plate that is heated. The body is electrically connected to the base when placed on it and includes a temperature sensor in the bottom. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the upper plate and outputs it. Additionally, an ultraviolet emitting unit is installed on the upper plate of the bottom. This unit emits ultraviolet rays to the remaining water in the water accommodation space. The ultraviolet emitting unit is controlled to emit the ultraviolet rays when there is a user's input notifying the presence of remaining water after the heating of water in the water accommodation space is ended and when the output value of the temperature sensor is equal to or less than a preset reference value.
- The electric pot includes a base, a body, a heater, a temperature sensor, and an ultraviolet emitting unit.
- The body of the electric pot is electrically connected to the base when placed on it.
- The heater is provided in the bottom of the body and heats the upper plate of the bottom.
- The temperature sensor is located in the bottom and detects the temperature of the upper plate.
- The ultraviolet emitting unit is installed on the upper plate of the bottom and emits ultraviolet rays to the remaining water in the water accommodation space.
- The ultraviolet emitting unit is controlled to emit ultraviolet rays when there is remaining water and the temperature of the upper plate is below a preset reference value.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Home appliances for sterilizing water in electric pots.
- Water sterilization devices for hospitals, clinics, or laboratories.
- Portable electric pots for camping or outdoor activities.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures the sterilization of remaining water in the electric pot.
- Prevents the growth of bacteria or microorganisms in the water accommodation space.
Benefits of this technology:
- Provides a convenient and efficient way to sterilize water in an electric pot.
- Reduces the risk of consuming contaminated water.
- Improves hygiene and safety in water storage and usage.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure provides an electric pot capable of sterilizing remaining water, the electric pot including a base to which power is supplied, a body having a water accommodation space defined by a bottom and a sidewall, and a heater provided in the bottom, and configured to set an upper plate of the bottom exposed to the water accommodation space as a heating plate heated by the heater, the body configured to be electrically connected to the base when being placed on the base and including a temperature sensor provided in the bottom and configured to detect a temperature of the upper plate of the bottom and output the temperature of the upper plate, and an ultraviolet emitting unit installed on the upper plate of the bottom and configured to emit ultraviolet rays to remaining water remaining in the water accommodation space, the ultraviolet emitting unit being configured to be controlled to emit the ultraviolet rays when there is a user's input notifying that the remaining water is present after heating of water accommodated in the water accommodation space is ended and when an output value of the temperature sensor is equal to or less than a preset reference value.
