The present disclosure relates to the field of mosquito repelling devices, and in particular to a portable mosquito repelling device.
Techniques of repelling mosquitos has significantly developed over past decades. Various methods are sought to effectively repel mosquitoes, especially disease-transmitting mosquitoes, to protect human health and to enable humans to live comfortably. Traditional mosquito repelling methods include using mosquito repellents, insecticide sprays, mosquito repellent candles and ultrasonic mosquito repellents. As technology develops, mosquito repelling technologies have been improved and innovated to provide more effective, convenient and environmentally friendly solutions.
Traditional mosquito repellent coils and insecticide sprays are common mosquito repellents. These repellents are burned or sprayed to emit smoke or vapour to repel mosquitos. However, while these repellents kill mosquitoes, these repellents may also release chemicals having medicinal properties that may have adverse effects on surrounding people, especially children and sensitive people. In addition, the repellents can only be used within a certain range, and may not be inconveniently used for people who are moving. Some electric mosquito repellents are available in the art, such as ultrasonic mosquito repellents. These repellents may repel mosquitoes by emitting ultrasonic waves. However, effectiveness of these repellents is often questioned and may cause pets or other animals at home to be uncomfortable.
In order to solve the technical solutions in the background, the present disclosure provides a portable mosquito repelling device, including a repelling device body. A case placing slot is located inside the repelling device body. The repelling device body and the case placing slot are connected with each other through a ring-shaped plate. The ring-shaped plate defines a set of air outlet holes, which are evenly distributed.
A fan mounting disc is arranged at a lower part of an interior of the repelling device body, the fan mounting disc is disposed below the case placing slot, the fan mounting disc and the case placing slot are spaced apart from each other.
A mosquito repelling case is snapped into the case placing slot, and an end cap is threaded to an upper port of an interior of the mosquito repelling case.
In some embodiments, a hemispherical wind gathering shell is mounted inside the repelling device body. The hemispherical wind gathering shell is disposed at an outer side of the case placing slot. An upper portion of the hemispherical wind gathering shell is disposed at a lower side of the ring-shaped plate; a lower portion of the hemispherical wind gathering shell is arranged with a ring-shaped baffle, the ring-shaped baffle is disposed on an upper side of the fan mounting disc. A fan (not shown) is mounted on an upper side of the fan mounting disc. Fan blades of the fan are slightly lower than the ring-shaped baffle.
In some embodiments, a set of through holes are defined and located at an outer side of the mosquito repelling case, the set of through holes are evenly distributed, a through slot is defined out of the case placing slot.
In some embodiments, a power button is arranged at a lower part of a side of the repelling device body, and a Type-c power input port is arranged at a lower part of another side of the repelling device body.
In some embodiments, a middle of a lower side of the repelling device body defines a recess, a battery slot is arranged at the recess. A battery may be received in the battery slot. The battery may be a rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery and a circuit board are mounted inside the repelling device body to ensure proper circuit connection.
In some embodiments, a set of rubber pads are arranged at a lower side of the repelling device body, and the set of rubber pads are arranged to form a ring. The set of rubber pads are configured to increase friction applied to the mosquito repelling case, preventing the mosquito repelling case from sliding around while in use.
In some embodiments, the mosquito repelling case is a detachable mosquito repelling case.
In some embodiments, the mosquito repellent essential oil is made by mixing peppermint essential oil, geranium oil, geraniol essential oil and lemongrass essential oil proportionally. A certain amount of inert ingredient (such as thermoplastic rubber), which serves as carrier, is added to the mixed oil. The mosquito repellent essential oil fills a container (in the present case, 70% of the thermoplastic rubber and 30% of the mosquito repellent essential oil are mixed, and injection moulding is achieved by performing a conventional process).
In some embodiments, the repelling device body is made of rigid PVC.
In some embodiments, the power button 4 controls a gear and a switch of the fan.
According to the present disclosure, a mosquito repellent essential oil, which contains natural plant components, is used instead of substances having medicinal properties, which are contained in the traditional mosquito repellents. The mosquito repellent essential oil does not contain harmful chemicals and has no toxic side effects on human health, reducing pollution to the environment. By configuring the device to be portable, the portable mosquito repelling device is applied both indoors and outdoors, such that a full range of protection from mosquitos is provided. The mosquito repellent case is a detachable case, such that the user may use, after all the mosquito repelling essential oil in the case is volatilized, a new replacement case according to demands to continuously repel mosquitos.

Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described below by referring to
The present disclosure provides a portable mosquito repelling device. While using the portable mosquito repelling device, thermoplastic rubber adhered with a mosquito repellent essential oil is poured into a mosquito repelling case 7, and an end cap 1 is screwed tightly to prevent the thermoplastic rubber from falling out of the case. The mosquito repelling essential oil containing natural plant components is used instead of medicinal chemical substances contained in a traditional mosquito repellent. In this way, the mosquito repelling essential oil does not contain harmful chemical substances and has no toxic side effects on human health, reducing pollution to the environment. While using the portable mosquito repelling device, it is to be ensured that a rechargeable battery is charged. The battery is inserted into a battery slot, and subsequently, the end cap 1 is unscrewed, a power button 4 is pressed, and a fan rotates to generate wind blowing upwardly. A ring-shaped baffle is engaged with a hemispherical wind gathering shell 8, such that the wind generated by the fan is gathered at a case placing slot 9. The wind flows over the case placing slot 9 and the mosquito repelling case 7 to take the essential oil out of the case. Odour of the mosquito repelling oil is diffused, by the wind (i.e., airflow) generated by the fan, into the surrounding environment. A gear of the fan may be adjusted based on the environment in which the portable mosquito repelling device is being used. When the portable mosquito repelling device is being used outdoors, the gear of the fan may be adjusted to a fast-speed gear. The device in the present disclosure is small sized, easily carried, applicable for both indoors and outdoors, and may provide a full range of protection against mosquitos. When a user is staying outdoors for a long period of time, the user may carry more than one mosquito repelling cases 7. When the mosquito repelling essential oil in one mosquito repelling case 7 is depleted, another mosquito repelling case 7 may be taken to be snapped into the case placing slot 9. Since the mosquito repelling case 7 is detachable, the user may use, after all the mosquito repelling essential oil in one case is completely volatilized, a new replacement case according to demands to continuously repel mosquitos. The portable mosquito repelling device in the present disclosure may also be used based on a Type-c power input port 6. When the portable mosquito repelling device is being used indoors only, the portable mosquito repelling device may be used without inserting the battery.
