Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of beverage bottle technology, and more specifically, to a solid-liquid separation bottle cap with a feeding aid structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of beverage bottle technology, the solid-liquid separation cap, as an innovative design, aims to store solid materials (such as powders, granules, or small lumps) separately from the liquid beverage until the consumer is ready to drink it, at which point the two are mixed. This design not only maintains the freshness and taste of the beverage but also provides consumers with a personalized drinking experience, such as adjusting the amount of solid materials according to individual tastes.

[0003] However, existing solid-liquid separation bottle caps have some problems in practical applications. In particular, during the descent of solid materials, issues such as moisture absorption, clumping, or poor internal cap design can cause obstruction or blockage. This not only affects the consumer's drinking experience but may also lead to waste of solid materials or a poor taste in the beverage.

[0004] Specifically, with existing solid-liquid separator bottle caps, when the bottom of the hopper is punctured, the solid material often fails to fall smoothly into the beverage due to the lack of an effective propulsion mechanism. Sometimes, the material gets stuck at the hopper's outlet, requiring the consumer to shake or tap the bottle to dislodge it. This is not only inconvenient but may also cause beverage spillage or damage to the bottle cap. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solid-liquid separation bottle cap with a material feeding structure to solve some problems existing in the practical application of the prior art solid-liquid separation bottle caps mentioned in the background art.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] This invention provides a solid-liquid separation bottle cap with a feeding aid structure, such as... Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes an outer cover 1, inside which a hopper 2 is installed. A drive assembly 4 is installed above the hopper 2, and a descending assembly 5 is installed below the drive assembly 4. A piercing cone 6 is installed at the bottom of the descending assembly 5. The drive assembly 4 drives the descending assembly 5 to descend, thereby piercing the bottom of the hopper 2 through the piercing cone 6. A booster component 8 is installed on the outside of the piercing cone 6. Through the ingenious design of the drive assembly 4, the descending assembly 5, and the piercing cone 6, precise piercing of the bottom of the hopper 2 is achieved. When the drive assembly 4 is activated, it drives the descending assembly 5, carrying the piercing cone 6, to descend steadily, easily piercing the bottom of the hopper 2. Specifically, the booster component 8 is also installed on the outside of the piercing cone 6. This design effectively boosts the solid material inside the hopper while the piercing cone 6 pierces the bottom, ensuring that the material can smoothly and quickly fall into the beverage below through the pierced opening. This innovative structure greatly improves the ease of use and efficiency of the solid-liquid separation bottle cap, bringing consumers a smoother and more enjoyable drinking experience.

[0024] In this embodiment, an anti-theft cap 3 is installed on the top of the outer cap 1. The design of the anti-theft cap 3 enhances the security of the bottle cap, effectively prevents unauthorized opening, protects the contents of the bottle from being accidentally or maliciously removed, and ensures the integrity of the product and the rights of consumers.

[0025] Specifically, a conical discharge chamber 21 is provided at the bottom of the hopper 2. A base plate 22 is installed at the bottom of the discharge chamber 21, and an easy-opening is provided on one side of the base plate 22. The conical discharge chamber 21 is designed to facilitate the smooth falling of materials, while the base plate 22 and the easy-opening on one side ensure that when the crushing cone 6 punctures the material, the material can accurately flow out from the easy-opening, thus improving the accuracy and efficiency of material discharge.

[0026] Furthermore, the drive assembly 4 includes a drive rod 41, which is rotatably connected to the upper part of the hopper 2 via a bearing 42. The outer wall of the drive rod 41 is provided with an external thread 411. The lowering assembly 5 includes a lifting frame 51, with a threaded sleeve 52 installed on the top of the lifting frame 51. The threaded sleeve 52 is threadedly connected to the drive rod 41, and a handle 43 is installed on the top of the drive rod 41. The top of the hopper 2 is provided with a groove 23, and the handle 43 is located in the groove 23. By rotating the handle 43, the drive rod 41 drives the threaded sleeve 52 and the lifting frame 51 to descend, achieving precise control of the crusher cone 6. The design of the groove 23 allows the handle 43 to be hidden when not in use, keeping the bottle cap neat and aesthetically pleasing.

[0027] Furthermore, a guide assembly 7 is installed on the outer side of the lowering assembly 5. The guide assembly 7 includes a guide rod 71, the top of which is connected to the inner wall of the hopper 2. A guide sleeve 72 is fitted on the outer side of the guide rod 71, and one outer wall of the guide sleeve 72 is connected to the outer wall of the lifting frame 51. The design of the guide assembly 7 ensures the stability and accuracy of the lowering assembly 5 during the lowering process, prevents skewing or shaking, and improves the reliability of the crusher cone 6 piercing the bottom plate 22.

[0028] Furthermore, a limiting plate 73 is installed at the bottom end of the guide rod 71. The limiting plate 73 restricts the descent distance of the descent assembly 5, preventing damage or unnecessary waste that may be caused by excessive descent, while also ensuring proper contact force between the breaking cone 6 and the base plate 22.

[0029] Furthermore, the booster component 8 comprises several inner plates 81, with outer plates 82 connected to the outer ends of the inner plates 81. The inner plates 81 and outer plates 82 together form a circular structure with a hole in the center, which connects to the outer wall of the crushing cone 6. The design of the booster component 8, through the combination of the inner plates 81 and the outer plates 82, forms a structure that can both descend with the crushing cone 6 and boost the material, thereby improving the falling speed and smoothness of the material.

[0030] Furthermore, a blade 83 is installed on the outer wall of the outer plate 82, and the outer wall of the blade 83 is in contact with the inner wall of the discharge chamber 21. The blade 83 is designed to not only pierce the bottom plate 22 with the crushing cone 6, but also scrape off any material that may be attached to the inner wall of the discharge chamber 21, further ensuring the smooth flow of the material.

[0031] Furthermore, the inner plate 81 and the outer plate 82 are rotatably connected by a hinge 85, at which a torsion spring is installed. The design of the hinge 85 and the torsion spring allows the inner plate 81 and the outer plate 82 to maintain a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity during descent, adapting to the falling characteristics of different materials and improving the boosting effect.

[0032] Furthermore, adjacent inner plates 81 and outer plates 82 are connected and fixed together by connecting pieces 84 made of silicone material. The silicone material connecting pieces 84 not only ensure a firm connection between the inner plates 81 and outer plates 82, but also have a certain degree of flexibility and wear resistance, extending the service life of the booster component 8.

[0033] When in use, the solid-liquid separation bottle cap with a feeding-assisted structure of the present invention is initially in an inactive state, with the outer cap 1 tightly sealed and the anti-theft cap 3 enhancing security. The hopper 2 contains solid material, and the bottom is sealed by the bottom plate 22, with the easy-opening mechanism in an unpunctured state. The drive assembly 4, the lowering assembly 5, and the crushing cone 6 are all in their initial positions, and the boosting component 8 is installed around the outside of the crushing cone 6, ready to boost the material.

[0034] When a consumer is ready to drink, they first unscrew the anti-theft cap 3 to expose the outer cap 1. Then, the consumer rotates the handle 43, and the drive rod 41 is connected to the threaded sleeve 52 through the external thread 411, causing the lifting frame 51 to begin to descend.

[0035] When the lifting frame 51 descends, the guide assembly 7 (including guide rod 71 and guide sleeve 72) ensures the stability and accuracy of the descent process, preventing skewing or shaking. When the lifting frame 51 descends to a certain position, the piercing cone 6 punctures the easy opening of the bottom plate 22, allowing the bottom of the hopper 2 to open. The limiting plate 73 restricts the descent distance of the lifting frame 51 to prevent damage caused by excessive descent.

[0036] As the crushing cone 6 pierces the bottom plate 22, the booster component 8 (composed of an inner plate 81 and an outer plate 82) begins to function. The inner plate 81 and the outer plate 82 descend with the crushing cone 6, and due to the design of the hinge 85 and the torsion spring, they maintain a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity to adapt to the falling characteristics of different materials.

[0037] As the cone 6 punctures the bottom plate 22, the blade 83 scrapes off any material that may be adhering to the inner wall of the discharge chamber 21, ensuring the material falls smoothly. The material, through the punctured easy opening and the cone-shaped discharge chamber 21, falls smoothly and quickly into the beverage below.

[0038] The solid material is completely incorporated into the beverage; consumers can shake well before drinking. The bottle cap remains intact and is reusable.

[0039] It is worth noting that the booster component 8 consists of several inner plates 81 and outer plates 82. The outer ends of the inner plates 81 are connected to the outer plates 82, forming a circular structure with a central hole. This central hole connects to the outer wall of the crushing cone 6, allowing the booster component 8 to descend along with the crushing cone 6. Simultaneously, the inner plates 81 and outer plates 82 are rotatably connected by a hinge 85, at which a torsion spring is installed. This design allows the booster component 8 to maintain a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity during descent, thus adapting to the falling characteristics of different materials.

[0040] The booster component 8 is installed on the outside of the crushing cone 6, with the inner plate 81 and outer plate 82 in a naturally extended state. A torsion spring provides a certain preload to the inner plate 81 and outer plate 82, ensuring they maintain a stable structure during descent. When the drive assembly 4 is activated, driving the descent assembly 5 and crushing cone 6 downwards, the booster component 8 also descends along with them. Due to the hinge 85 between the inner plate 81 and outer plate 82 and the torsion spring, the booster component 8 maintains a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity, adapting to the falling characteristics of different materials.

[0041] When the crushing cone 6 punctures the bottom plate 22 of the hopper 2, the booster component 8 begins to function. As the crushing cone 6 descends, the inner plate 81 and the outer plate 82 gradually unfold and come into contact with the material. Due to the angle between the inner plate 81 and the outer plate 82 and the pre-tightening force, they generate a certain thrust on the material, propelling the material to fall smoothly through the punctured opening.

[0042] Specifically, the outer wall of the outer plate 82 is equipped with blades 83, and the outer wall of the blades 83 is in contact with the inner wall of the discharge chamber 21. While assisting the material to fall, the blades 83 can also scrape off any material that may be attached to the inner wall of the discharge chamber 21, ensuring that the material falls smoothly and does not cause blockage.

[0043] As the solid material falls completely into the beverage below, the booster component 8 descends to the bottom position along with the breaker cone 6. At this point, the booster component 8 is in a fully deployed state, ready for the next use.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
