Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of daily necessities, in particular to a music water cup. Background Art

[0002] A water cup is a common tool for drinking water in daily life. There are various types of water cups on the market, including simple open cups and thermos cups that can keep warm. When using a water cup, users usually choose different water cups according to different usage needs, such as choosing a thermos cup in winter and an open cup for direct drinking.

[0003] For most Chinese people, drinking hot water has become a habit. They usually take a cup of hot water and wait for the water to cool down to normal temperature before drinking. However, in real life, it is often the case that after taking a cup of hot water, they do not know when it will cool down to a drinkable temperature. As a result, the water temperature may be too high or too low when they pick up the cup to drink. If the temperature is too high, it will burn their mouths easily, and if the temperature is too low, it will be uncomfortable to drink. Especially in winter, if the temperature is too low, they may need to refill the water. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention provides a musical water cup, which has the advantage of being able to remind a user of the temperature change of hot water in the water cup, thereby achieving the purpose of reminding the user to drink water.

[0005] The above-mentioned purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical scheme: a musical water cup comprises a cup body with an opening at the upper end, a base is provided at the bottom of the cup body, a liquid tank is provided in the base that is in contact with the bottom of the cup body, the liquid tank is used to fill a refrigerant medium, a lower through pipe connected to the liquid tank is provided below the liquid tank, a piston column that can slide along the axial direction of the lower through pipe is provided in the lower through pipe, the piston column and the lower through pipe are sealed, a center column is provided at the lower end of the piston column, a spiral groove is provided on the center column, an outer sleeve is provided on the outer side of the center column, the outer sleeve can rotate around the center column and a sliding column extending into the groove is provided in the outer sleeve, a support seat supporting the outer sleeve is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the base, a spring is provided in the support seat, and the spring is used to provide an upward thrust to the center column; a sound comb is also provided in the base, the sound comb is in contact with the edge of the outer sleeve, and the outer sleeve is provided with a plurality of protrusions for plucking the sound comb when the outer sleeve rotates.

[0006] Through the above technical solution, when hot water is poured into the cup body, the heat of the hot water will be transferred to the liquid tank, and the refrigerant medium in the liquid tank absorbs heat. The refrigerant medium expands in volume after absorbing heat, and the expansion of the refrigerant medium pushes the piston column to slide downward, and the center column and the piston column move together. Since the upper and lower ends of the outer sleeve are respectively limited by the lower through pipe and the support seat, when the center column moves downward, the outer sleeve is driven to rotate through the action of the sliding column and the spiral groove. When the outer sleeve rotates, the protrusions on the surface of the outer sleeve pluck the sound comb to produce sound. When the refrigerant medium cools, the piston column moves upward under the action of atmospheric pressure and the thrust of the spring. In the process of moving the center column upward, it can also drive the outer sleeve to rotate and pluck the sound comb to produce sound. When a user uses the musical water cup of the present invention to collect hot water, the hot water is poured into the cup body, the temperature of the refrigerant medium in the liquid compartment increases, the piston rod moves downward, the sound comb is plucked to produce sound, and when the temperature of the refrigerant medium increases to a certain temperature, as the hot water in the cup body cools down, the refrigerant medium also cools down. At this time, the piston rod moves upward, and the sound comb continues to produce sound. Therefore, the user can judge the cooling degree of the hot water in the cup body according to the sound of the sound comb. Therefore, the user can know the temperature change of the hot water in the cup body according to the sound of the sound comb, which is convenient for the user to drink the hot water in time when it cools down to a suitable temperature.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that the cooling medium is water.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, water has the property of thermal expansion and contraction, and is easy to obtain and can be used as required.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the volume of the liquid tank is not less than 100 ml, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the lower pipe is not greater than 1 cm 2 .

[0010] Through the above technical solution, at room temperature, the volume expansion coefficient of liquid water is about 2.1*10 -4 / K, so the volume of 100ml of water changes by about 1.05ml when the temperature changes by 50K, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the down-conduit is no more than 1cm 2 The moving distance of the piston rod can exceed 1 cm, which can meet the requirements.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the refrigerant medium is kerosene.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, kerosene has the property of thermal expansion and contraction, and is easy to obtain and can meet the needs of use.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the volume of the liquid tank is not less than 20 ml, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the lower pipe is not greater than 1 cm 2 .

[0014] Through the above technical solution, at room temperature, the volume expansion coefficient of kerosene is about 1.0*10-3 / K, so the volume of 20ml of kerosene changes by about 1ml when the temperature changes by 50K, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the downpipe is not greater than 1cm 2 The moving distance of the piston rod can exceed 1 cm, which can meet the requirements.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the tone comb includes eight comb teeth having different tones when vibrating.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, each comb tooth can produce different tones and sounds when vibrating, so eight comb teeth can produce eight different sounds. Through the combination of eight different sounds, the sound produced by the comb is close to music.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that a center hole is provided at the bottom of the center column, a guide rod extending into the center hole is provided in the base, the cross-sectional shape of the guide rod is elliptical, rectangular or polygonal, and the cross-sectional shape of the center hole matches the guide rod.

[0018] By means of the above technique, the shape of the guide rod is such that the center column cannot rotate.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that a plurality of sound outlet holes are provided on the base.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the sound outlet hole is provided to facilitate the sound produced by the sound comb to be transmitted, so that the user can hear it.

[0021] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are that after hot water is poured into the cup body, the sound comb will make a sound to remind the user, and the user can know the water temperature change according to the sound of the sound comb, reminding the user to drink the hot water in time when it cools to a suitable temperature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-6 A musical water cup comprises a cup body 1 with an upper opening, a base 2 is provided at the bottom of the cup body 1, a liquid tank 3 is provided in the base 2 and is fitted with the bottom of the cup body 1, a refrigerant medium is filled in the liquid tank 3, a lower through pipe 4 connected to the liquid tank 3 is provided below the liquid tank 3, a piston column 5 which can slide along the axial direction of the lower through pipe 4 is provided in the lower through pipe 4, the piston column 5 and the lower through pipe 4 are sealed, a central column 6 is provided at the lower end of the piston column 5, a spiral groove 61 is provided on the central column 6, and a central column 6 is provided with a central column 6. An outer sleeve 7 is sleeved on the outside of the core column 6. The outer sleeve 7 can rotate around the center column 6 and is provided with a sliding column 71 extending into the groove 61 inside the outer sleeve 7. A support seat 8 for supporting the outer sleeve 7 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the base 2. The support seat 8 has a spring 9 inside. The spring 9 is used to provide an upward thrust to the center column 6. A sound comb 10 is also provided in the base 2. The sound comb 10 is in contact with the edge of the outer sleeve 7. The outer sleeve 7 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 72 for plucking the sound comb 10 when the outer sleeve 7 rotates.

[0031] When hot water is poured into the cup body 1, the heat of the hot water will be transferred to the liquid tank 3, and the refrigerant medium in the liquid tank 3 absorbs heat. The refrigerant medium expands in volume after absorbing heat, and the expansion of the refrigerant medium pushes the piston column 5 to slide downward, and the center column 6 and the piston column 5 move together. Since the upper and lower ends of the outer sleeve 7 are respectively limited by the lower through pipe 4 and the support seat 8, when the center column 6 moves downward, the outer sleeve 7 is driven to rotate through the action of the sliding column 71 and the spiral groove 61. When the outer sleeve 7 rotates, the protrusion 72 on the surface of the outer sleeve 7 plucks the sound comb 10 to produce sound. When the refrigerant medium cools, the piston column 5 moves upward under the action of atmospheric pressure and the thrust of the spring 9. In the process of the center column 6 moving upward, it can also drive the outer sleeve 7 to rotate and pluck the sound comb 10 to produce sound. When a user uses the musical water cup of the present invention to collect hot water, the hot water is poured into the cup body 1, the temperature of the refrigerant medium in the liquid tank 3 increases, the piston rod 5 moves downward, and the sound comb 10 is plucked to produce sound. When the temperature of the refrigerant medium rises to a certain temperature, as the hot water in the cup body 1 cools, the refrigerant medium also cools down. At this time, the piston rod 5 moves upward, and the sound comb 10 continues to produce sound. Therefore, the user can judge the cooling degree of the hot water in the cup body 1 according to the sound of the sound comb 10. Therefore, the user can know the temperature change of the hot water in the cup body 1 according to the sound of the sound comb 10, which is convenient for the user to drink the hot water in time when it cools to a suitable temperature.

[0032] The refrigerant medium is water, which has the property of thermal expansion and contraction, and is easy to obtain and can meet the needs of use. The volume of the liquid tank 3 is not less than 100ml, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the lower pipe 4 is not more than 1cm 2 At room temperature, the volume expansion coefficient of liquid water is about 2.1*10 -4 / K, so the volume change of 100ml of water is about 1.05ml when the temperature changes by 50K, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the down-conducting tube 4 is not greater than 1cm 2 Then the moving distance of the piston column 5 can exceed 1 cm, which can meet the requirements.

[0033] The sound comb 10 includes eight comb teeth 101 with different tones when vibrating. Each comb tooth 101 can produce different tones and different sounds when vibrating, so the eight comb teeth 101 can produce eight different sounds. Through the combination of eight different sounds, the sound comb 10 can produce sounds close to music. The protrusions 72 on the outer sleeve 7 can be divided into eight layers, which correspond to the eight comb teeth 101 respectively and are used to pluck different comb teeth 101. Each layer is composed of a number of spaced protrusions 72. Changing the position of the protrusions 72 can change the pronunciation of the sound comb 10. Specifically, the position of the protrusions 72 can be set so that when the outer sleeve 7 rotates, the sound emitted by the sound comb 10 is a certain kind of similar music. It should be noted that the protrusions 72 in the accompanying drawings are for display only and do not represent the specific position of the protrusions 72.

[0034] The bottom of the central column 6 is provided with a central hole 62, and the base 2 is provided with a guide rod 11 extending into the central hole 62. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rod 11 is elliptical, rectangular or polygonal, and the cross-sectional shape of the central hole 62 matches the guide rod 11. The shape of the guide rod 11 makes the central column 6 unable to rotate. In the accompanying drawings, the cross-sectional shape of the guide rod 11 is rectangular.

[0035] The base 2 is provided with a plurality of sound holes 12, which are evenly arrayed around the base 2. The sound holes 12 are provided to facilitate the sound emitted by the sound comb 10 to be transmitted and heard by the user.

[0036] Example 2: Reference Figure 1-6 , which is different from the first embodiment, the refrigerant medium of the present invention is kerosene. Kerosene has the property of thermal expansion and contraction, and is easy to obtain and can meet the requirements of use. The volume of the liquid tank 3 is not less than 20ml, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the down pipe 4 is not more than 1cm 2 At room temperature, the volume expansion coefficient of kerosene is about 1.0*10 -3 / K, so the volume of 20ml kerosene changes by about 1ml when the temperature changes by 50K, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the down-conducting pipe 4 is not greater than 1cm 2 Then the moving distance of the piston column 5 can exceed 1 cm, which can meet the requirements.

[0037] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
