[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Embodiment, this embodiment provides a coffee straw with sugar cubes, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device comprises a long tube 1 and a short tube 2. The short tube 2 is inserted into one end of the long tube 1 and is enclosed in a disposable dustproof bag or wrapping paper. When in use, the bag or wrapping paper can be removed. In addition, the short tube 2 is tightly inserted into the inner side of the end of the long tube 1. In this way, when the long tube 1 is held vertically, the short tube 2 will not slide down the inner wall of the long tube 1 and detach.
[0025] At the same time, if Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the long tube 1 is provided with multiple annular flanges 13, and the inner wall of each annular flange 13 is provided with a sealing membrane 14. The space between two adjacent sealing membranes 14 is a storage cavity 12. In this embodiment, it is preferred that two annular flanges 13 are set, and a storage cavity 12 is formed between the sealing membranes 14 of the two annular flanges 13, and a sugar block 15 is provided in the storage cavity 12.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, an extension end 22 is connected to one end of the short tube 2 located inside the long tube 1. The end of the extension end 22 is a closed structure, and a plurality of connecting holes 1 are provided on the closed structure. An absorption passage is formed between the long tube 1, the connecting hole 1, the extension end 22 and the short tube 2. At the same time, the outer diameter of the extension end 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the short tube 2, and a connecting hole 2 is provided on the radial side wall of the extension end 22. The inner space of the extension end 22 is connected to the storage cavity through the connecting hole 2 to form an addition passage.
[0027] The closed structure is provided with a plurality of inserts 23 distributed in a ring structure, and the side walls of the plurality of inserts 23 extend obliquely toward one end away from the closed structure to form a puncture point, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the long tube 1 is held still, and there is no need to open the coffee cup lid to add sugar. The short tube 2 only needs to be inserted into the cup, and the end of the short tube 2 is placed against the bottom wall of the cup body. The long tube 1 is pressed down with a little force, and the inner wall of the long tube 1 slides down along the outer wall of the short tube 2, thereby driving the two sealing membranes 14 to contact the puncture points of the extension end 22 in turn and be punctured. At this time, the multiple inserts 23 are located above the upper sealing membrane 14, and the second connecting hole is placed in the storage chamber 12. The suction path and the adding path are connected at the same time. The consumer holds the end of the long tube 1 away from the short tube 2 to absorb coffee.
[0028] The coffee, subjected to negative pressure, enters the end of short tube 2 and, as it flows through extension end 22, can also enter storage chamber 12 through connecting hole 2. There, the coffee comes into contact with sugar cube 15, gradually dissolving it and changing the bitterness of the coffee. The coffee then flows back through connecting hole 2 into extension end 22, then through connecting hole 1 of extension end 22 into long tube 1, ultimately entering the consumer's mouth from the end of long tube 1. As the consumer drinks the coffee, the coffee dissolves with sugar cube 15, changing the coffee's flavor and satisfying the consumer's desired taste.
[0029] In summary, the above structure not only meets consumers' drinking taste needs, but also solves the problem of coffee dripping from the inner wall of the cup lid when opening the cup lid to add sugar, as well as coffee splashing onto clothing during the sugar addition process. Furthermore, the extended end 22 is placed within the storage chamber 12 and connected to the addition passage via the second connecting hole. This ensures that coffee can enter the storage chamber 12 and dissolve with the sugar cube 15 during the coffee addition process, and prevents the sugar cube 15 from being drawn into the mouth or throat, potentially causing choking.
[0030] An annular expansion portion 21 is provided on the outer wall of one end of the short tube 2 near the extension end 22, and a plurality of annular protrusions 11 are provided on the inner wall of the long tube 1. A recessed portion is provided between two adjacent annular protrusions 11, and the space inside the recessed portion can accommodate the annular expansion portion 21. In other words, by pressing the long tube 1, the inner wall of the long tube 1 slides down along the outer wall of the short tube 2, and the annular expansion portion 21 can pass over the annular protrusion 11 and be placed in the recessed portion. The provision of a plurality of annular protrusions 11 is to provide a sense of frustration in the hand when pressing the long tube 1 to slide down, so as to help the user know whether the insertion point of the insert 23 has pierced the two sealing membranes 14 in sequence. Secondly, it is to prevent the short tube 2 and the long tube 1 from sliding relative to each other at will, resulting in the second connecting hole not being in the storage chamber 12, resulting in a blocked adding passage and the inability to achieve the purpose of changing the taste of the coffee.
[0031] Furthermore, for coffee cups using heat-sealed film, if the end of the short tube 2 is a flat structure, it is difficult to pierce the heat-sealed film and enter the cup. For this reason, the end of the short tube 2 is set to a beveled tip, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it is easy to pierce the heat seal film and enter the cup.
[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
