Abstract

A drying container with humidity display function is disclosed, which is used for storing biological test pieces and is formed with at least one peeping window to be used for observing a humidity display unit embedded inside the drying container so as to determine whether the biological test pieces inside the drying container had already been exposed to moisture and become damp according to the reading on the humidity display unit.

Claims

1. A drying container, adapted for storing biological test pieces, comprising:

a cylinder, composed of a sidewall and a bottom;

a cap, for covering the cylinder;

a humidity display unit, provided to be disposed inside the cylinder; and

at least one peeping window, each being disposed on the cap, the sidewall or the bottom at a position wherever for allowing a user to observe the humidity display unit at any viewing angle so as to determine whether the biological test pieces inside the drying container had been exposed to moisture and become damp according to the observation of the humidity display unit.

2. The drying container of claim 1, wherein the humidity display unit is substantially a humidity indicator card.

3. The drying container of claim 1, wherein the humidity display unit is a device selected from the group consisting of:

an electric humidity meter and a mechanical humidity meter.

4. The drying container of claim 1, wherein the cylinder further has a drying agent disposed therein.

5. The drying container of claim 1, wherein the cylinder further has a humidity sensor disposed therein and the humidity sensor is designed to transmit wirelessly a detection value to a wireless receiving unit through a wireless transmitting unit.

6. The drying container of claim 5, wherein wireless receiving unit is mounted on a remote server and is capable of displaying or broadcasting the detection value by the use of a display unit or audio unit.

7. The drying container of claim 6, wherein the remote server is a device selected from the group consisting of:

a personal computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant and a smart phone.

8. The drying container of claim 6, wherein the display is substantially a liquid crystal display (LCD).

9. The drying container of claim 6, wherein the audio unit is substantially a speaker.

10. The drying container of claim 1, wherein the humidity sensor is attached to the peeping window at a position inside the drying container.
