The disclosure and prior art relates to ventilation devices and more particularly pertains to a new ventilation device for selectively ventilating a portable bathroom.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a portable bathroom that has an outer wall and a roof. A ventilation unit is coupled to the portable bathroom. The ventilation unit detects a temperature within the portable bathroom. The ventilation unit urges air outwardly from the portable bathroom when the ventilation unit detects the temperature has exceeded a trigger temperature. Thus, the temperature in the portable bathroom is lowered.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A ventilation unit 22 is provided and the ventilation unit 22 is coupled to the portable bathroom 12. The ventilation unit 22 detects a temperature within the portable bathroom 12. The ventilation unit 22 urges air outwardly from the portable bathroom 12 when the temperature exceeds a trigger temperature. Thus, the temperature in the portable bathroom 12 is lowered thereby enhancing comfort for a user.
The ventilation unit 22 comprises a pair of fans 24 and each of the fans 24 is coupled to the outer wall 14. Each of the fans 24 is aligned with an associated one of the fan apertures 18. Each of the fans 24 comprises a housing 26 that is coupled to the outer wall 14. A motor 28 is positioned within the housing 26. The motor 28 may be an electrical motor 28 or the like.
Each of the fans 24 includes a plurality of blades 30. Each of the blades 30 is coupled to the motor 28. The motor 28 rotates each of the blades 30 when the motor 28 is turned on. Thus, each of the fans 24 urges air outwardly through the fan apertures 18.
A thermostat 32 is provided and the thermostat 32 is coupled to the outer wall 14. The thermostat 32 is positioned within the portable bathroom 12. Thus, the thermostat 32 detects the temperature within the portable bathroom 12. The thermostat 32 may comprise an electronic thermostat 32 or the like.
The thermostat 32 is electrically coupled to each of the fans 24. The thermostat 32 turns each of the fans 24 on when the temperature within the portable bathroom 12 exceeds the trigger temperature. The thermostat 32 turns each of the fans 24 off when the temperature within the portable bathroom 12 falls below the trigger temperature. The trigger temperature may be a temperature ranging between seventy degrees Fahrenheit and eighty degrees Fahrenheit.
A light emitter 34 is provided and the light emitter 34 is coupled to the outer wall 14. The light emitter 34 is positioned within the portable bathroom 12. Thus, the light emitter 34 illuminates an interior of the portable bathroom 12. The light emitter 34 may comprise an LED light bar or the like.
A switch 36 is provided and the switch 36 is coupled to the outer wall 14. The switch 36 is positioned within the portable bathroom 12 and the switch 36 may be manipulated. The switch 36 is electrically coupled to the light emitter 34. Thus, the switch 36 turns the light emitter 34 on and off.
A power supply 38 is coupled to the portable bathroom 12. The power supply 38 is electrically coupled to the switch 36. The power supply 38 comprises a solar panel 40 that is positioned on the roof 16. Thus, the solar panel 40 is exposed to sunlight thereby facilitating the solar panel 40 to convert the sunlight into electrical energy.
In use, the switch 36 is manipulated to turn on the light emitter 34. The thermostat 32 turns the fans 24 on when the temperature in the portable bathroom 12 exceeds the trigger temperature. Thus, air is vented outwardly to cool the interior of the portable bathroom 12. The fans 24 maintain the temperature within the portable bathroom 12 at a comfortable temperature.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
