Iot Based Battery Powered Automatic Heating Container For Food

Abstract: The present invention is related to a portable, battery-powered heating container system, featuring an integrated temperature display and smart heating control. The system comprises a container body for holding food or liquids, a removable cap incorporating a display unit, and a heating unit positioned at the base of the container. The heating unit includes a heating coil, a thermometer, a control unit, and a thermal cut-off (TCO) mechanism to regulate temperature and prevent overheating. The system is powered by a rechargeable battery, chargeable via a micro USB interface. Electrical connectors between the cap and container enable the transfer of power and temperature data to the display unit, which activates only when the cap is securely connected. The heating coil is protected by a conductive metal cover to ensure safe and efficient heat transfer while preventing contamination or coil damage. The compact design makes the system ideal for on-the-go heating and temperature maintenance of food and beverages.

Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to IoT based Battery Powered Automatic Heating Container for Food
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
There is issue with fresh cooked food that it gets cool after some time and if we put in a hot case like container but it also not efficient for longer time, it just increases the warm time little bit, so, we need a system that could remain food warm for longer duration than existing system.
US9879882B2 Instant self-heating containers include a combinable reactant and activator used to generate an exothermic rseaction for heating contents of the container. One instant self-heating container includes a target container, a pierceable activator container and a reaction chamber. Piercing the activator container causes activator to combine with the reactant and cause an exothermic reaction that heats the target container. The container may be used as depilatory wax dispenser. Another instant self-heating container includes an outer housing containing a contents pouch and a reactant, and capped by a lid having an activator chamber. Rupturing the activator chamber allows activator to combine with the reactant in an exothermic reaction to heat the contents pouch. Another instant self-heating container includes a flexible outer tube containing contents to be heated, a flexible reaction vessel, and a frangible activator vessel. Bending the outer tube causes the activator vessel to rupture and cause an exothermic reaction.
RESEARCH GAP: Our container uses electricity and it is battery powered.
US11641700B2 An induction heating device for heating and/or melting a heat affected product zone of shaving or cosmetic products stored in a product container which consists of a layer of the product heated by an electrically conductive metallic target member having through-passages overlying the top product surface and energized by an induction coil into which an electromagnet field is generated by electronic circuitry for a predetermined time period into the product container, thereby permitting the heated and or melted product to flow through the through-passages onto the top surface of the target member to be collected by a user for shaving or cosmetic purposes.
RESEARCH GAP: Our system of heating is for food only to remain it warm for longer period of time than conventional one.
None of the prior art indicate above either alone or in combination with one another disclose what the present invention has disclosed. This invention relates to IoT based Battery Powered Automatic Heating Container for Food.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Fig. 1 comprises of display unit, and node. It is showing the whole structure model of our system. This is showing the overall look of our system. In this system in cap of our system there the display unit is fitted which will show the temperature in degree celcius. At the bottom there is node in that node the main heating system is insalled which will heat the internal environment of the container. Whenever the cap is covered the container matching the connectors it will show the temperature and the display will be on.
Fig. 2 showing the upper view of our system. It is comprises of insulating layer, heating coil, connectors, and heating coil covered with conducive metal. In this container there is two connectors which will transfer the temperature data and power of battery to the display. Here the heating coil will be the responsible for generation of heat in the internal environment of the container. Above the heating could there will be a conducive cover of metal will be there to cover the coil otherwise the food could cause rusting or could damage the coil. But due to the metal is conducive the heat from the coil will be easily transferred to the food.
Fig. 3 consists of battery, heating coil, thermometer, connectors, thermal cutout (TCO), controlling unit and display unit. It is the figure showing the overall internal architecture of node 200. Here the system is battery powered and the battery is rechargeable. The battery will be charged through micro USB. Then there is controlling unit which will detect the temperature through thermometer and to maintain the temperature it will cut the power supply of heating coil through TCO. Whatever will be the degree of temperature it will be shown on the display unit fitted inside the container’s cap whenever the cap will be covered properly because without proper connection with connectors of cap and container the display will not get the temperature data and power.
Fig.4 illustrates the internal configuration of a heating container. The front view reveals a battery-powered heating element controlled by electronic components such as a CPU and control circuit. The back view demonstrates labelled compartments for the power unit and electronics. This arrangement works best for warming or keeping at a set temperature items in storage.
Fig.5 shows 3D illustration of a heating container with the internal structure. It features a power source on top and a middle heating element for heat control. On the bottom, there are electronic components like a thermal sensor, CPU, and control unit controlling the temperature. Its small size makes it ideal for heating food or liquids effectively.
