Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermos cup technology, and in particular to a spout-shaped direct-suction thermos cup with sterilization function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, insulated cups with straws are widely popular due to their convenience. However, their structure creates unsanitary areas, with the spout and straw constantly exposed to a damp environment that easily breeds bacteria and mold. Traditional cleaning methods are insufficient for thorough cleaning, posing health risks. After each drink, saliva remains on the outer wall of the spout. Furthermore, because insulated cups typically have plastic lids with poor insulation, heat leakage occurs. This creates a warm, humid environment rich in organic matter around the spout, allowing bacteria to multiply rapidly during intermittent drinking.

[0003] Currently, direct-suction thermos cups generally do not have sterilization functions. They are usually cleaned by washing the spout, but this is not done after each use, so the problem of immediate contamination cannot be fundamentally solved. Although there are methods to slow down bacterial growth through materials or ultraviolet light, such as the publication number CN212213348U, which mentions the use of ultraviolet sterilization in a thermos cup, the environment in which bacteria grow is not destroyed. The bacteria are still in a warm, humid environment rich in organic matter. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0035] This embodiment mainly describes a spout-shaped direct-suction insulated cup with sterilization function. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-7 Specifically, after each direct drinking, the user's saliva remains on the outer wall of the spout 32, creating a warm, humid environment rich in organic matter. During intermittent drinking, bacteria multiply rapidly. To address this issue, a spout-shaped direct-drinking insulated cup with sterilization function is proposed, comprising a cup body 1 and a cup lid 2. The cup lid 2 includes a lower lid 3 threadedly connected to the cup body 1 and an upper lid 4 threadedly connected to the lower lid 3. The lower lid 3 has a pouring spout 31 for pouring water and a direct-drinking spout 32. The upper lid 4 has an antibacterial component 5, which includes:

[0036] The outer cover 51 is located at the outer end of the upper cover 4, and the degree of fit between the outer cover 51 and the upper cover 4 can be adjusted.

[0037] The turntable 54 is rotatably installed inside the outer cover 51. Its outward end is equipped with a second sealing shaft 57 and a first sealing shaft 56 that respectively block the spout 32 and the pouring port 31. The second sealing shaft 57 has telescopic elasticity.

[0038] Adjusting the fit between the outer cover 51 and the upper cover 4 opens the pouring spout 31, allowing the liquid in the cup body 1 to be poured into the cup cover 2, and cleaning the spout 32.

[0039] Specifically, the top cover 4 has an antibacterial component 5. By manually operating the antibacterial component 5 on the top cover 4, the liquid inside the cup 1 is poured into the antibacterial component 5. By manually shaking the thermos, the outer wall of the spout 32 is fully in contact with the liquid, achieving a cleaning effect and destroying the environment for bacterial growth. This operation can be performed after each time you finish drinking water.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, a rectangular groove 301 is provided downward at the outer end axis position of the lower cover 3, and a circular groove 302 is provided inside the lower cover 3 with the axis coinciding with the axis of the lower cover 3. A circular hole runs through the lower cover 3 from top to bottom at the axis of the lower cover 3, and the rectangular groove 301 and the circular groove 302 are connected through the circular hole.

[0041] A separable card holder 303 is embedded in the rectangular groove 301. A card holder 304 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the card holder 303 and is locked into the circular groove 302. The card holder 303 and the card holder 304 have the same shape. The upper end of the card holder 303 is integrally set with the mouth-shaped opening 32. The lower end of the card holder 304 has an integral rigid tube end 305. The end of the rigid tube end 305 is locked with a flexible tube section 306 extending to the bottom of the cup body 1.

[0042] Specifically, by removing the lower cover 3 and rotating the rigid tube end 305 from the inside, the rigid tube end 305 controls the rotation of the second card holder 304. When the second card holder 304 overlaps with the first card holder 303, the second card holder 304 and the first card holder 303 can be taken out. The second card holder 304, the first card holder 303, and the nozzle 32 can be replaced quickly. After long-term use, some stains that are difficult to clean will inevitably accumulate, so they can be replaced directly.

[0043] The outer side of the card holder 303 is in contact with the inner wall of the rectangular groove 301, and the card holder 304 is pressed against the inner wall of the circular groove 302. Specifically, the inner wall of the rectangular groove 301 of the card holder 303 is in a sealed state to prevent the liquid inside the cup 1 from leaking outward. The pressing of the inner wall of the circular groove 302 with the card holder 304 limits the card holder 303 and the card holder 304 to a fixed state with the lower cover 3.

[0044] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the outer wall of the upper cover 4 near the lower end has textures to increase friction. Specifically, the textures increase friction when opening, making it easier to open the upper cover 4.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, an annular groove 41 is formed on the outer wall of the upper cover 4 near the upper end, and a straight groove 42 is formed on the outer wall of the upper cover 4 near the upper end, with one end connected to the annular groove 41 and the other end extending out of the upper cover 4.

[0046] A sealing ring 53 is fitted to the arc-shaped inner wall of the outer cover 51. The sealing ring 53 is used to press against the outer wall of the upper cover 4 to form a seal. A locking block 52 is also fixed to the arc-shaped inner wall of the outer cover 51. The locking block 52 can slide in the annular groove 41 and the straight groove 42 to control the position between the outer cover 51 and the upper cover 4.

[0047] Specifically, the sealing ring 53 is used to seal the upper cover 4 and the outer cover 51. The outer cover 51 can be separated from and engaged with the upper cover 4 through the annular groove 41, the straight groove 42 and the locking block 52.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, a retractable positioning shaft 55 is installed on the inner wall of the turntable 54, and the upper end of the lower cover 3 has a hole for cooperating with the retractable positioning shaft 55. The end of the retractable positioning shaft 55 is used to extend into the hole at the upper end of the lower cover 3.

[0049] Specifically, the telescopic positioning shaft 55 is longer than the first closed shaft 56 and the second closed shaft 57. When the upper cover 4 is rotated, the telescopic positioning shaft 55 can first engage with the hole at the upper end of the lower cover 3 to limit the position of the turntable 54, ensuring that the first closed shaft 56 and the second closed shaft 57 engage with the pouring port 31 and the spout 32 respectively.

[0050] like Figure 5 The specific structure of the telescopic positioning shaft 55 is shown. The telescopic positioning shaft 55 includes a positioning sleeve 551 fixed to the turntable 54. The positioning sleeve 551 has a positioning rod 552 sleeved inside. The outer end of the positioning rod 552 is used to be engaged in the hole at the upper end of the lower cover 3 to limit the position of the turntable 54.

[0051] Specifically, when the retractable positioning shaft 55 is in a vertical state, it extends to its longest position under the action of gravity and is used to abut against the hole at the upper end of the lower cover 3 to limit the position of the turntable 54.

[0052] like Figures 6-7 As shown, the second closed shaft 57 includes a closed sleeve 571 fixed to the outward side of the turntable 54. A closed rod 572 is sleeved inside the closed sleeve 571. The closed sleeve 571 also has a support spring 573. The support spring 573 is fixed to one end of the closed rod 572 located inside the closed sleeve 571. The outer end of the closed rod 572 is used to close the mouth-shaped opening 32.

[0053] Specifically, the second sealing shaft 57 has a support spring 573 inside, which makes the second sealing shaft 57 elastic. When the outer cover 51 moves, the second sealing shaft 57 keeps the mouth-shaped opening 32 closed.

[0054] like Figures 6-7 As shown, the sealing shaft 56 is in the shape of a shaft, and its outer end closes the pouring opening 31. When the outer cover 51 moves, the sealing shaft 56 will separate from the pouring opening 31.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, an ultraviolet lamp 6 is installed on the inner end face of the upper cover 4. The upper cover 4 contains a rechargeable battery for controlling the switch of the ultraviolet lamp 6. Specifically, the ultraviolet lamp 6 on the thermos is existing technology, controlled by a rechargeable battery inside the upper cover 4, and a switch on the outside of the upper cover 4 controls the switching of the ultraviolet lamp 6.

[0056] Working principle: such as Figures 6-7 As shown, Figure 6 This refers to the configuration of the top cover 4 and the antibacterial component 5. Figure 7 For example, the movement of the antibacterial component 5 on the top cover 4, Figure 6 As shown, sealing shaft 1 56 and sealing shaft 2 57 respectively seal the pouring spout 31 and the spout 32, so that the cup lid 2 achieves a sealing effect. When the upper lid 4 is rotated, it can be separated from the lower lid 3, so that sealing shaft 1 56 and sealing shaft 2 57 open the pouring spout 31 and the spout 32. The user can directly use the spout 32 for direct drinking. However, it should be noted that when using the spout 32, the position of the spout 32 should be made into a warm, humid environment rich in organic matter. The upper cover 4 and lower cover 3 are fitted together. By rotating the outer cover 51, the locking block 52 of the outer cover 51 moves from the annular groove 41 to the straight groove 42, which can control the movement of the outer cover 51 along the axis of the upper cover 4. It should be noted that since the sealing shaft 2 57 has a supporting spring 573 inside, when the outer cover 51 moves outward a certain distance, the sealing shaft 2 57 still closes the spout 32, while the pouring spout 31 is in the open state. The liquid in the cup body 1 can be poured into the outer cover 51. Due to the sealing effect of the sealing ring 53, the poured liquid will not leak. Then the outer cover 51 is reset, and the pouring spout 31 is blocked by the sealing shaft 1 56. The thermos cup is then shaken to clean the outer wall of the spout 32 with the liquid in the outer cover 51, breaking the environment for bacterial growth at the spout 32. Finally, the outer cover 51 is removed so that the liquid can be poured out. The outer cover 51 is then restored to its original position.

[0057] It should be noted that when the lower cover 3 and the upper cover 4 are engaged, since the lower cover 3 remains stationary while the upper cover 4 rotates, the retractable positioning shaft 55 will first engage with the hole on the lower cover 3 to position the turntable 54, preventing the turntable 54 from rotating with the upper cover 4. This allows the first sealing shaft 56 and the second sealing shaft 57 to engage smoothly with the pouring port 31 and the spout 32, respectively. It should also be noted that, in order to more clearly observe the movement of the retractable positioning shaft 55, the first sealing shaft 56, and the second sealing shaft 57, the upper cover 4 can be made of a transparent material.

[0058] It should also be noted that when the closing shaft 57 closes the mouth-shaped opening 32, the support spring 573 is in a compressed state, while the locking block 52 is engaged in the annular groove 41. The locking block 52 is under tension and will not move in the annular groove 41 without manual operation.

[0059] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship that the utility model product is usually placed in during use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0060] The above provides a detailed description of a spout-shaped direct-suction thermos cup with sterilization function provided by this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model and its core ideas.
