Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid containers, and in particular to a method for improving the taste of water and a container structure using the method. Background Art

[0002] Water pollution is becoming increasingly serious. Even after tap water is disinfected with chlorine, there will inevitably be chemical residues, which will still affect the taste even after boiling the tap water.

[0003] Currently, the industry's methods for improving the taste of drinking water are generally categorized into three types: electrolysis, spraying biomimetic mineralized materials onto heating plates, and installing functional filter cartridges. However, each of these approaches has significant shortcomings, hindering widespread adoption.

[0004] First, electrolysis technology has two major issues: First, when the hydrogen and oxygen produced by electrolysis reach a certain ratio, there is a certain risk of combustion; second, during the electrolysis process, trace amounts of heavy metal ions in the metal material may dissolve into the water, causing a risk of poisoning. At the same time, this technology cannot take into account the taste. For example, the patent application publication number is CN102161521A, the patent announcement number is CN12358CC, and the patent authorization announcement number is CN 103351042B.

[0005] Second, the heating plate is coated with a bionic material, which is essentially non-removable for safety reasons. Therefore, when the bionic coating degrades, its lifespan is significantly reduced, and replacement costs are extremely high. Furthermore, if consumers require unflavored water, the product cannot achieve this. For example, patent application publication number: CN 103723877A.

[0006] Third, although installing functional filters is feasible and can improve the taste, the filters are basically closed designs and the interior cannot be disassembled and cleaned, which makes it easy for bacteria to breed and produce odors, posing a potential threat to consumer health.

[0007] Fourth, if pure titanium or glass is used as a container, when the surface is covered with a mineral coating, many of the original advantages of the material are blocked, and only mineral water can be used for one function, and it cannot be used to cover other usage scenarios.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The present invention aims to solve, at least to a certain extent, one of the problems existing in the existing related technologies. To this end, the present invention proposes a method for improving the taste of water and a container structure using this method, which can increase the natural mineral content in water, effectively improve the water quality and taste, while the consumables are easy to replace and the structure is simple.

[0010] The above purpose is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0011] A method for improving the taste of water and a container structure using the method, characterized in that: the container comprises a kettle lid, a filter, an inner liner, a heating plate, a kettle body, and a base, wherein the kettle body is arranged on the base, the inner liner and the heating plate are arranged in the kettle body, the heating plate is arranged at the bottom of the inner liner, the kettle lid is detachably arranged on the top of the kettle body, and a mineral coating is arranged on the surface of the filter;

[0012] The filter is detachably mounted inside the inner container or on the pot cover, or is fixedly mounted on a replaceable pot cover.

[0013] In some embodiments, the mineral coating is sprayed on the inside or outside of the filter.

[0014] In some embodiments, the mineral coating contains mineral elements.

[0015] In some embodiments, the filter and the pot lid are detachably connected.

[0016] In some implementation cases, the filter can also be fixed on an easily replaceable component, such as a kettle lid.

[0017] In some implementation cases, the filter may be perforated or not. When the element sprayed with minerals is set as an easily replaceable inner cover of the kettle lid, its function and principle are consistent with the principle of the present invention.

[0018] In some embodiments, a handle portion is protruding from the center of the top of the pot lid, an annular connecting portion is extended downward along the bottom edge of the handle portion, and the top of the filter is sleeved outside the annular connecting portion.

[0019] In some embodiments, a flange portion is provided extending outward from the top of the filter screen, and the flange portion is closely attached to the bottom surface of the pot lid.

[0020] In some embodiments, a connecting member is provided on the top of the filter, and the connecting member is detachably connected to the inner container.

[0021] In some embodiments, the filter screen includes a filter barrel with an open top, and a plurality of groups of filter holes spaced apart along the circumferential direction are provided on the filter barrel, and each group of filter holes includes a plurality of filter holes spaced apart along the upper and lower directions.

[0022] In some embodiments, a buckle portion is provided on the top of the inner liner, and the inner liner is fixedly connected to the kettle body through the buckle portion.

[0023] In some embodiments, the snap-fitting portion includes a first snap-fitting edge extending outward from the top of the inner liner and a second snap-fitting edge extending downward from the outside of the first snap-fitting edge. A connecting groove with an open bottom is formed between the outer wall of the inner liner, the first snap-fitting edge and the second snap-fitting edge. The top of the pot body is inserted into the connecting groove and abuts against the first snap-fitting edge.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The present invention provides a method for improving the taste of water and a container structure employing this method. This method increases the natural mineral content in water, and the filter screen features a detachable design for easy replacement and cleaning. By spraying a mineral coating on the inside or outside of the filter screen, the mineral elements within the coating are continuously released when the water is heated, simulating the ion exchange process between rock and water in a natural stream, increasing the natural mineral content in the water and improving its taste.

[0026] 2. The filter is a separate detachable part, which is easy to process during the production process. The filter adopts a detachable open design, which makes it easier to clean the filter and less likely to breed bacteria.

[0027] 3. The detachable filter will decay after a certain period of use, and consumers can easily replace it by themselves, which provides a better user experience.

[0028] 4. It can provide more functional filters that are easy for users to replace to achieve different functions and provide users with more and better experiences.

[0029] 5. The functional container (filter) can change the taste of water. Due to its separate and detachable design, when the user uses it in a scenario where the water quality does not need to be changed, all the functions and usage experience of the original container will not be affected.

[0037] The following examples illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. Modifications to the specific embodiments of the present invention or equivalent replacements of some technical features without departing from the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the technical solution claimed in the present invention.

[0038] Example 1: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for improving the taste of water and a container structure using this method, specifically relating to a liquid heating container, which includes a pot lid 1, a filter 2, an inner pot 3, a heating plate 4, a pot body 5 and a base 6, wherein the pot body 5 is arranged on the base 6, the inner pot 3 and the heating plate 4 are arranged in the pot body 5, the heating plate 4 is arranged at the bottom of the inner pot 3, the pot lid 1 is detachably arranged on the top of the pot body 5, and a mineral coating is provided on the surface of the filter 2;

[0039] The filter 2 is detachably mounted inside the inner container 3 or on the pot cover 1 , or is fixedly mounted on the replaceable pot cover 1 .

[0040] This design helps the container to heat the liquid effectively and safely. In addition, the filter screen 2 surfaces are provided with a mineral coating, which helps to utilize the mineral substances in the mineral coating to purify the liquid during heating to improve the water quality.

[0041] In some implementation cases, the heating plate may not be provided, and the device may be used only as a functional liquid container that can change the water quality, such as a functional teacup or a thermos cup.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mineral coating is sprayed onto the inner or outer side of the filter 2. This ingenious application of the mineral coating onto the filter allows consumers to easily replace the filter without having to replace the entire heating container when the coating degrades, significantly reducing replacement costs. Furthermore, functional containers with different formulations can be provided for consumers to use as needed.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mineral coating contains mineral elements. When the liquid is heated, the mineral elements are released into the liquid, improving the quality of the liquid and enhancing the taste.

[0044] In this embodiment, the surface of the filter 2 is sprayed with a mineral coating. This mineral coating is made from carefully selected natural ores containing more than 20 mineral elements. Through sol-gel, gel, and high-temperature sintering techniques, a dense mineral crystal layer is formed. As the water is heated, the mineral elements are slowly released, just like the natural ion exchange between rock and water in a natural stream. This not only enriches the natural minerals in the water, improving its taste, but also promotes the full release of tea polyphenols.

[0045] In this embodiment, the filter 2 is detachably connected to the lid 1. Designed as a separately removable component, the filter 2 not only facilitates processing during production but also makes cleaning easier, effectively preventing bacterial growth. Furthermore, the removable filter 2, once degraded over time, allows consumers to easily replace it themselves, providing a better user experience.

[0046] In this embodiment, the filter can also be used as a container for improving the taste of drinking water without any other functions.

[0047] In this embodiment, a handle 11 protrudes from the center of the top of the lid 1. An annular connecting portion 12 extends downward from the bottom edge of the handle. The top of the filter 2 is sleeved over the annular connecting portion 12. This increases the contact surface between the filter 2 and the lid 1, facilitating a secure connection between the filter 2 and the lid. Furthermore, after opening the lid, the filter 2 can be easily removed for cleaning and replacement.

[0048] In this embodiment, a flange portion 21 is provided extending outward from the top of the filter 2, and the flange portion is in close contact with the bottom surface of the lid 1. This increases the contact area between the filter 2 and the lid 1, effectively fixes the position of the filter, and promotes the formation of a closed space between the filter and the lid.

[0049] In the second embodiment, a connecting member is provided on the top of the filter 2, and the connecting member is detachably connected to the inner container 3. When in use, the inner container 3 provides a stable support for the filter 2, ensuring that the filter 2 can be firmly fixed in the inner container.

[0050] Preferably, the filter screen 2 comprises a filter barrel with an open top, on which a plurality of groups of filter holes are arranged at intervals along the circumference, and each group of filter holes comprises a plurality of filter holes spaced apart vertically, so as to facilitate full contact between the tea leaves in the filter screen 2 and the liquid and the mineral coating on the filter screen 2.

[0051] Furthermore, a buckle portion is provided on the top of the inner liner 3, through which the inner liner 3 is fixedly connected to the kettle body 5. This prevents the inner liner 3 from being separated from the kettle body 5, resulting in safety hazards such as the heating plate 4 being exposed or liquid flowing into the heating plate 4.

[0052] Furthermore, the fastening portion includes a first fastening edge extending outward from the top of the inner liner 3 and a second fastening edge extending downward from the outside of the first fastening edge. An open-bottomed connecting groove is formed between the outer wall of the inner liner 3, the first fastening edge, and the second fastening edge. The top of the kettle body 5 is inserted into the connecting groove and abuts against the first fastening edge, thereby securing the inner liner 3 to the kettle body 5. The fastening portion wraps around the top of the kettle body 5, better preventing liquid from overflowing and seeping into the heating plate 4.

[0053] The present embodiment provides a method for improving the taste of water and a container structure using this method, which has the following advantages:

[0054] First, it increases the natural mineral content in water, effectively improving water quality and taste. The filter is removable, making it easy to replace when the mineral coating degrades. The open filter design also facilitates cleaning and sterilization.

[0055] Second, the filter can be designed with multiple functions and optimized for more user scenarios. For example, a filter can be set up with a tea brewing function, a hangover sobering function, a mineral supplement filter, etc. This greatly increases the multi-scenario usage experience of the product.

[0056] Third, the functions of the original liquid container are also taken into account. For example, if the original container is a glass cup or a pure titanium cup, the original material itself is not covered and its original functions are still retained. At the same time, more functions are achieved by setting up a detachable container that can change the water quality.

[0057] Fourth, the above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
