The present invention relates to a storage bottle, and more particularly to a storage bottle that may be carried easily, may be used conveniently, and may provide filtering and sterilization effects.
70% of the human body is composited by water, so most of the organs and tissues need to rely on water, which shows the importance of water for the mankind. Additionally, with the development and advance of science and technology, requirements on drinking water are also raised to higher standards. A conventional water purifier or water purification equipment is mainly composited by water treatment equipment, disinfection equipment and other devices to provide people with the necessary drinking water.
However, the conventional water purifier or water purification equipment has a certain volume, and most of the conventional water purifier or water purification equipment is fixed at a specific location for people to use. Therefore, users need to move to the location to store or drink water, and this is inconvenient in use. Moreover, when people participate in activities or move outdoors, although people can carry bottled water to achieve the purpose of drinking water, but the carried bottled water will not only increase the weight and can only store a limited amount of water, and the bottles after use will also have an impact on the environment.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a storage bottle with filtration and disinfection effect to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a storage bottle that that may be carried easily, may be used conveniently, and may provide filtering and sterilization effects.
The storage bottle with filtration and disinfection effect in accordance with the present invention has an outer casing, a cap, a bottom base, and a waterproof board. The outer casing is hollow. The cap is detachably connected to the outer casing and has an assembling recess and a filter group. The assembling recess communicates with the outer casing. The filter group is deposited in the assembling recess and has at least one filtering layer. The bottom base is detachably connected to the outer casing and has a mounting recess and a sterilization group. The sterilization group is deposited in the mounting recess and has at least one light emitting diode. The at least one light emitting diode emits an ultraviolet light with a sterilization band to liquid in the outer casing. The waterproof board is deposited between the outer casing and the bottom base to close the mounting recess of the bottom base.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
