Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermos cup technology, specifically a water cup based on phase change energy storage technology that intelligently regulates temperature and protects health. Background Technology

[0002] Water cups are among the most commonly used utensils in daily life. Drinking water regularly and in adequate amounts is an essential part of maintaining human health. The most common types of water cups are insulated cups and non-insulated cups. Insulated cups are the first choice in cooler weather or cold winters, especially when people are out and about, such as traveling, running errands, or as students. Insulated cups are essential items, and they are usually stored in backpacks, school bags, and cars to meet people's needs for drinking water anytime, anywhere. However, insulated cups also have their drawbacks. When water is heated to boiling and poured into an insulated cup, its temperature often exceeds the comfortable range for direct drinking. People have to wait a long time for the water in the insulated cup to cool down to a suitable drinking temperature before they can drink it. This greatly reduces the immediate drinking experience, especially when there is an urgent need to replenish water, this inconvenience is particularly obvious.

[0003] The prior art CN223126235U discloses a water cup with temperature regulation function, including a cup body and a temperature control component. The temperature control component is installed inside the cup body and includes a temperature control shell and a heat pipe. The temperature control shell is filled with a phase change material. The heat pipe extends into the interior of the phase change material, and at least one end of the heat pipe is arranged outside the phase change material. This technology effectively solves the problem of rapid cooling of boiling water after it enters the thermos cup, so that users can drink warm water without having to wait for a long time.

[0004] Further research revealed that the existing rapid cooling thermos technology not only has a complex structure and is difficult to disassemble and clean, but also fails to address the user's need to choose when to cool down the water according to their actual needs. Sometimes users do not want the water to cool down immediately after being poured into the cup, and they often need the thermos to maintain a high temperature for a longer period of time, hoping for rapid cooling when needed, such as when making milk or other drinks at high temperatures after going out. Obviously, the existing rapid cooling thermos technology cools down quickly as soon as boiling water enters, which to some extent hinders the promotion of this rapid cooling thermos. Furthermore, the overly complex structure is not conducive to user cleaning.

[0005] How can we provide a water bottle that offers intelligent temperature control and long-term heat preservation? It would be ideal if users could choose to quickly cool or heat the water in the bottle, or maintain its temperature for an extended period, according to their needs. This would greatly enhance the user experience. Users could choose to pour in boiling water and cool it down immediately before drinking, or keep it at a high temperature for a certain period and then quickly cool it down before drinking. They could even choose to use the heat stored in the temperature control component to appropriately warm the water when it's too cold, achieving intelligent temperature regulation. This truly embodies the idea of ​​"taking control of my health," making the insulated bottle a guardian of health.

[0006] The study also found that existing technologies for rapidly cooling water cups face another challenge: due to their complex structure and difficulty in disassembly, cleaning them is quite laborious. Water cup cleaning is a problem that must be faced in actual use, and it would be even better if users could easily and quickly disassemble and clean them. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems and shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a health-protecting water cup with intelligent temperature regulation based on phase change energy storage technology. This invention solves the problems of users not being able to selectively cool the water and the inability to warm the water cup before drinking if the temperature is too low. It also effectively solves the problem of easy disassembly and cleaning for users.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this invention discloses a health-protecting water cup with intelligent temperature regulation based on phase change energy storage technology, comprising: a cup body, a cup lid, a sealing bracket, an intelligent temperature regulation component, and a cup base; The cup body is a cylindrical shape with open top and bottom, and the cup lid is detachably connected to the upper opening of the cup body via thread III and can maintain a seal; One end of the sealing bracket enters the interior of the cup body from the lower opening, and its outer wall is sealed to the inner wall of the cup body by a sealing ring I. The end of the sealing bracket located inside the cup body is provided with a circular water passage hole, which divides the internal space of the cup body into upper and lower spaces, namely an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The intelligent temperature control component includes a rotating seat, a water-sealing plug, a connecting rod, a knob, and a phase change cavity. The water-sealing plug is fixedly connected to the rotating seat via the connecting rod. The rotating seat maintains a sliding seal with the inner wall of the sealing bracket via a sealing ring II. The rotating seat is connected to the sealing bracket via a thread I. The knob is located below the rotating seat. Rotating the knob allows the rotating seat to move upward or downward along the sealing bracket, thereby causing the water-sealing plug to either move upward to fit against the water passage or move downward to separate from the water passage. When the water-sealing plug fits against the water passage, water cannot flow between the upper and lower cavities. When the water-sealing plug separates from the water passage, water can flow between the upper and lower cavities. The phase change cavity is located within the lower cavity and is filled with a thermal phase change material. The cup holder is detachably connected to the lower opening of the cup body via thread II. The knob is exposed through the middle hole of the cup holder. When the rotating seat is in the lowest position, the top surface of the knob does not exceed the bottom surface of the cup holder. The cup holder secures the sealing bracket and the intelligent temperature control component inside the cup body from below. After the cup holder is removed from the bottom of the cup body, the intelligent temperature control component and the sealing bracket can be removed in sequence.

[0009] Furthermore, the portion of the water-sealing plug that contacts the water passage hole is a conical surface or a spherical surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the contact portion between the water-sealing plug and the water-passing hole is made of an elastic material.

[0011] Furthermore, the phase change cavity is annular in shape, and both the inner and outer surfaces of the annulus can come into contact with water, with the connecting rod passing through the middle of the annulus.

[0012] Furthermore, the cup body has a double-walled structure, with a vacuum layer formed in the middle of the double-walled structure.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating base is made of heat-insulating material.

[0014] Furthermore, the walls of the phase change cavity are made of a thermally conductive material.

[0015] Furthermore, the volume of the upper cavity is greater than the volume of the lower cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the cup lid is provided with a temperature display interface, and a temperature sensor is provided on the cup lid. The temperature sensor is located in the upper cavity, and a battery is also installed inside the cup lid.

[0017] Furthermore, the cup lid is waterproof.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0019] 1. Users can choose when to quickly cool the boiling water in the thermos according to their needs. The hot water can be stored in the cup for a long time, meeting people's needs for hot water when they are out and about.

[0020] 2. Users can turn the knob to quickly cool the beverage whenever they need to drink it. The operation is very simple and meets people's needs to drink whenever they want when they are out.

[0021] 3. After activating rapid cooling, users can choose to close the channel between the upper and lower cavities. Due to the presence of phase change energy storage material and the small size of the lower cavity, the water and phase change chamber in the lower cavity can be kept warm for a long time. When the drinking water in the upper cavity becomes too cold due to prolonged heat preservation, the channel between the upper and lower cavities can be reopened to use the heat stored in the lower cavity to warm the water in the upper cavity. Therefore, not only is a longer heat preservation time achieved, but users can also choose to drink cooled boiled water or heated boiled water, greatly improving the user experience.

[0022] 4. This invention also has an ultra-long heat preservation function. Users can pre-store heat in the water and phase change material in the lower cavity. After adding boiling water to the cup, the lower cavity will pre-store a certain amount of energy. Then, the upper cavity and lower cavity channels will be closed, and the warm water in the upper cavity will be replaced with boiling water. In this way, the intelligent adjustment cup can achieve an ultra-long heat preservation time.

[0023] 5. The cup lid and the intelligent temperature control component of this invention are located at the two ends of the cylindrical cup body with openings at both ends, and are detachably connected by threads. All components are waterproof, and the intelligent temperature control component is easy to disassemble and clean, making it very simple and convenient.

[0024] 6. The phase change cavity adopts a circular design to ensure maximum heat exchange efficiency in a relatively small space. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and the described embodiments are only one embodiment of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, a water cup 1 based on phase change energy storage technology with intelligent temperature regulation and health protection includes: a cup body 2, a cup lid 3, a sealing bracket 6, an intelligent temperature regulation component 4, and a cup base 5; the cup body 2 is a cylindrical shape with open top and bottom; the cup lid 3 is detachably connected to the upper opening of the cup body 2 via thread III 20 and can maintain a seal; a sealing gasket 14 is provided between the cup lid 3 and the upper opening of the cup body 2; one end of the sealing bracket 6 enters the interior of the cup body from the lower opening of the cup body 2, and its outer wall is sealed to the inner wall of the cup body 2 via a sealing ring I 11; the end of the sealing bracket 6 located inside the cup body has a circular water passage hole 601, which divides the internal space of the cup body into upper and lower spaces, namely an upper cavity 16 and a lower cavity 17; Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the intelligent temperature control component 4 includes a rotating base 7, a water-sealing plug 9, a connecting rod 10, a knob 701, and a phase change cavity 8. The water-sealing plug 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating base 7 via the connecting rod 10. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rotating seat 7 maintains a sliding seal with the inner wall of the sealing bracket 6 through the sealing ring II 13, and the rotating seat 7 is connected to the sealing bracket 6 through the thread I 12, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, below the rotating seat 7 is a knob 701. Rotating the knob 701 allows the rotating seat 7 to move upwards or downwards along the sealing bracket 6, thereby causing the water sealing plug 9 to either move upwards to fit against the water passage hole 601 or downwards to separate from the water passage hole 601. Figure 2 As shown, when the water seal 9 is in contact with the water passage 601, water cannot flow between the upper cavity 16 and the lower cavity 17. Users can then choose when to quickly cool the boiling water in the thermos according to their needs. With the water seal 9 in contact with the water passage 601, water cannot flow between the upper cavity 16 and the lower cavity 17, allowing the hot water in the upper cavity to be stored for a longer period, thus meeting people's needs for hot water when traveling. Figure 1 As shown, when the water seal 9 is separated from the water passage 601, the water between the upper cavity 16 and the lower cavity 17 can flow between them. When the user needs to drink, turning the knob will quickly cool the water in the cup. The operation is very simple and meets people's needs for drinking whenever they want when they are out. The phase change cavity 8 is located in the lower cavity 17, and the interior of the phase change cavity 8 is filled with thermal phase change material 18; as shown Figure 1 As shown, the cup holder 5 is detachably connected to the lower opening of the cup body 2 via thread II 19. The knob 701 is exposed through a through hole in the middle of the cup holder 5. When the rotating base 7 is in the lowest position, the top surface 702 of the knob 701 does not extend downwards beyond the bottom surface 501 of the cup holder 5. This design ensures that the water cup can be placed on a flat table surface without being affected by the knob 5. Figure 7 As shown, the user can operate the cup very conveniently from the bottom; as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cup holder 5 secures the sealing bracket 6 and the intelligent temperature control component 4 inside the cup body 2 from below, as... Figure 4 As shown, after the cup holder 5 is removed from the bottom of the cup body 2, the temperature intelligent adjustment component 4 and the sealing bracket 6 can be taken out in sequence. This design makes it convenient for users to disassemble and clean.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the installation method of this embodiment of the invention is as follows: the cup lid 3 is used to seal the upper opening of the cup body 2, and the sealing bracket 6 and the temperature intelligent adjustment component 4 can be installed sequentially from the bottom of the cup body 2, and then the cup base 5 can be screwed on.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the part of the water-sealing plug 9 that contacts the water passage hole 601 is a conical or spherical surface. This design ensures reliable sealing, and the user can isolate the upper cavity 16 from the lower cavity 17 without much force. As a preferred option, the part of the water-sealing plug 9 that contacts the water passage hole 601 is made of an elastic material. The elastic material further improves the sealing reliability and avoids the impact of high and low temperature changes on the seal.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the phase change cavity 8 is annular in shape, and both the inner and outer surfaces of the ring can contact water. The connecting rod 10 passes through the middle of the ring. The wall of the phase change cavity 8 is made of thermally conductive material. This design makes full use of the lower cavity space and ensures that the phase change cavity 8 achieves the maximum heat exchange efficiency in the smallest volume.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the cup body 2 has a double wall, with a vacuum layer 15 formed in the middle of the double wall. The rotating base 7 is made of heat-insulating material. This design ensures that the cup has a good heat preservation effect.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper cavity 16 has a larger volume than the lower cavity 17. The upper cavity 16 serves as the main storage space for drinking water, and its design minimizes the space occupied by the lower cavity, with reasonable upper and lower partitions.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the cup lid 3 is equipped with a temperature display interface 21, and a temperature sensor is correspondingly provided on the cup lid 3. The cup lid 3 also contains a battery. The cup lid 3 is waterproof. The temperature sensor is located inside the upper cavity 16. The temperature display interface 21 can display the temperature of the drinking water in the upper cavity in real time, making it convenient to know the temperature of the drinking water area inside the cup, thus providing a basis for choosing whether to cool down or heat up, which is very convenient.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
