Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water cups, and in particular relates to a cycling cup. Background Art
[0002] For people who have the habit of exercising, a water cup (or kettle) can be said to be an indispensable accessory. In addition to replenishing lost water, a water cup can also prevent abdominal pain caused by drinking unclean water outside. Currently, water cups designed for athletes can be roughly divided into three types according to the water outlet method: direct drinking type, suction drinking type and press type. The materials are mainly divided into plastic and metal.
[0003] Most of the cycling cups on the market are direct drinking cups. For direct drinking cups, you can drink by opening the bottle cap (by turning the bottle mouth or pressing a button), which is easy to operate. The problem with direct drinking cups is that if the lid is not closed tightly, the liquid in the cup may leak out due to tilting or shaking; in addition, if the amount poured out is not controlled when drinking, there may be a risk of choking. Using a suction-type cycling cup, you can control the amount of drinking and avoid pouring a large amount of water at one time, but it is relatively difficult to clean. For a press-type cup, water can be discharged by pressing the bottle body. Therefore, a press-type cup does not need to suck water hard and is not easy to choke. It is also lighter in weight, but there are the following shortcomings: 1. It is easy to squeeze out water by mistake; 2. The squeezing operation is laborious when there is not much water left in the cup; 3. It is inconvenient to carry.
[0004] For people who need to keep warm (or cold), a double-layer metal water cup is the best choice. Similarly, most of the insulated water cups are of the direct drinking type, and there are a few of them that can be drunk by suction, but there is no other way, and the water outlet method is relatively simple. In addition, when used as a cycling cup, one-handed operation is a necessary function, and the sealing performance of existing one-handed opening water cups is often poor. The Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN216059563U discloses a bicycle water cup that can keep warm and is easy to take. The disclosed structure is extremely simple and can provide very little information. The most important thing is that the user still needs to suck hard when drinking water, which is not much different from a conventional suction cup.
[0005] In addition, in actual experience, when the water in the cup body is full, during the installation of the cup lid, some water will overflow from the edge of the cup body, and some water will overflow from the suction nozzle of the water outlet channel, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the existing water cup has a relatively single water outlet method, and provides a cycling cup, which can achieve heat preservation and one-handed operation, and the water outlet method is different from the existing one. Furthermore, the sealing performance is improved.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a cycling cup, comprising a cup body and a cup cover, wherein the cup cover comprises:
[0008] The installation chamber has an air inlet channel and a water outlet channel, wherein the lower end of the water outlet channel is connected to the bottom of the cup body, and the upper end of the water outlet channel is connected to the outside;
[0009] An opening and closing device, comprising an outer cover assembly for opening and closing the water outlet channel and an unlocking member for opening the outer cover assembly, wherein the outer cover assembly is flipped from front to back to open, and the unlocking member is arranged at the front side of the installation chamber;
[0010] An air pump is installed in the installation chamber, an air inlet end of the air pump is connected to the outside through an air inlet channel, and an air outlet end of the air pump is connected to the water storage chamber of the cup body;
[0011] The control panel is installed in the installation chamber to control the start and stop of the air pump;
[0012] A trigger device, including a trigger switch electrically connected to the control panel;
[0013] A battery, mounted in the mounting chamber, supplies power to the control board;
[0014] A conduit is sealed and connected to the water outlet channel and extends into the bottom of the cup body;
[0015] When the trigger switch is triggered, the control panel instructs the air pump to work, and the gas pumped by the air pump increases the air pressure in the cup body of the sports water cup, and presses the water in the cup body out along the water outlet channel;
[0016] Wherein, the water outlet channel includes a buffer section with a larger aperture than the conduit.
[0017] The riding cup of the utility model comprises a cup cover comprising an installation chamber, an opening and closing device, an air pump, a control panel, a trigger device and a battery. When drinking water is needed, the unlocking piece is first operated to move the outer cover assembly and open the water outlet channel, and then the water outlet channel (usually having a suction nozzle) is held, and then the trigger switch is manually operated. The control panel receives a signal from the trigger switch, and the control panel instructs the air pump to work. The gas pumped by the air pump increases the air pressure in the upper space of the cup body, and presses the water at the bottom of the cup body out along the water outlet channel to realize water outlet. The trigger switch is manually operated, and the water outlet is realized by the pressure pumped by the air pump, which is different from the existing method; single-handed operation can be realized. The trigger switch is triggered, which is a necessary condition for the air pump to work. It can be a necessary and sufficient condition or a non-necessary and sufficient condition (for example, an outer cover assembly position detection assembly is provided, and the air pump will work only when the outer cover assembly is detected to be opened); by forming a buffer section with a larger aperture than the conduit in the water outlet channel, the buffer section can cache water, thereby avoiding or reducing the overflow of water from the suction nozzle at the upper end of the water outlet channel during the installation of the cup cover, and at the same time, the water is stored in the buffer section so that the water can be discharged faster. The front side is the side facing / close to the human body. Among them, the relationship between whether the air pump works or not and whether the trigger switch is triggered (the outer cover assembly is opened) can have the following situations: 1. When the trigger switch is triggered, the air pump works. If the trigger switch is triggered and then released, the air pump stops working, that is, the trigger switch needs to be in the triggered state all the time; 2. After the trigger switch is triggered, the air pump works for a certain period of time according to the preset program, regardless of whether the trigger switch is released, that is, it is triggered, and there is no need to keep the trigger switch in the triggered state all the time; 3. After the trigger switch is triggered, the air pump always works until the trigger switch is triggered again.
[0018] As an improvement, the trigger switch is located in the installation chamber, and the trigger device further includes a trigger assembly arranged at the rear side of the installation chamber, the trigger assembly translates forward and backward, and when the trigger assembly moves forward, it contacts and presses the trigger switch, and a trigger reset spring acts on the trigger assembly to exert a backward force on it. In other schemes, the trigger assembly can also be arranged at the front side of the installation chamber. In other schemes, the trigger assembly can also be in other forms of movement such as up and down swinging.
[0019] As an improvement, the trigger assembly includes a pressing piece located outside the installation chamber, an anti-dropping piece located inside the installation chamber, and a threaded connector connecting the pressing piece and the anti-dropping piece, wherein the threaded connector abuts against the trigger switch.
[0020] As an improvement, a trigger sealing ring is provided between the trigger assembly and the installation chamber, and the trigger assembly translates forward to release the seal.
[0021] As an improvement, the trigger seal ring is located outside the installation chamber, the trigger seal ring is compressed in a direction perpendicular to the translation direction of the trigger assembly, the pressing member and the anti-slip member both have a T-shaped portion, the diameter of the column portion of the T-shaped portion of the pressing member is smaller than the diameter of the column portion of the T-shaped portion of the anti-slip member, and is also smaller than the aperture of the trigger seal ring; or,
[0022] The trigger sealing ring is located inside the installation chamber, and the trigger sealing ring is compressed by the anti-slip component along the translation direction of the trigger assembly.
[0023] As an improvement, the installation chamber includes an upper cover and a lower cover, both of which are bowl-shaped and buckled to form a closed installation chamber, the cup cover also includes a suction nozzle arranged on the upper cover, and the riding cup also includes an outer cover assembly for opening and closing the suction nozzle, the lower cover is provided with an air inlet hole connected to the air outlet of the air pump and a lower water hole, and the upper cover is provided with an upper water hole. The cross section of the suction nozzle is usually oval to fit the lips, and when the cross section of the suction nozzle is round, it is similar to a straw.
[0024] As an improvement, the installation chamber further comprises a mounting frame arranged between the upper cover and the lower cover, the mounting frame is provided with a through hole, an inter-cover sealing ring is arranged between the edge of the mounting frame and the upper cover and the lower cover, and the control board, the battery, and the air pump are installed on the mounting frame;
[0025] An air pump sealing ring is arranged at the lower end of the air pump, and the air pump sealing ring is compressed up and down by the lower cover and the mounting frame.
[0026] As an improvement, a lower sealing ring is provided in the water hole of the lower cover, the lower end of the mounting frame abuts against the lower sealing ring, the lower sealing ring is inserted into the mounting frame, and the conduit is inserted into the lower sealing ring;
[0027] The upper cover is provided with an upper sealing ring in the upper water hole, the upper end of the mounting frame abuts against the upper sealing ring, the suction nozzle is clamped with the mounting frame, and the lower sealing ring and the through hole form the water outlet channel;
[0028] The upper cover and the mounting frame are connected by screws, and the mounting frame and the lower cover are connected by screws.
[0029] As an improvement, the outer cover assembly includes an outer cover and a sealing block induction welded to the outer cover, the suction nozzle is a silicone suction nozzle, and the sealing block abuts the silicone suction nozzle; in other schemes, when the technology is improved, the outer cover assembly can also be a single component formed in one go, without the need for an induction welding step.
[0030] The unlocking member is clamped with the outer cover, and the unlocking member is clamped with the upper cover.
[0031] As an improvement, the unlocking member moves forward and backward, and a cover opening reset spring acts on the unlocking member to exert a forward force on it; a torsion spring acts on the outer cover. In other schemes, the unlocking member can also adopt other movement modes such as up and down translation or swinging.
[0032] As an improvement, the air pump first operates at a first power for a first time, and then operates at a second power, the power of the first power being less than the second power. In actual testing, it was found that when the air pump always discharges water at normal power, at the beginning, the air in the water outlet channel and the suction nozzle will impact the human oral cavity at a relatively fast speed, causing discomfort. By improving the operating power of the air pump, the discomfort caused by the airflow can be reduced or avoided.
[0033] As an improvement, the aperture of the cache segment is 1.5-2.5 times the aperture of the catheter, and the length of the cache segment is 0.5-2 times the length of the threaded segment of the cup body.

The second magnetic induction component is installed on the control board 3. The first magnetic induction component is a magnet 71, and the second magnetic induction component is a Hall element 72. When the outer cover 411 is in a closed state, the air pump 2 does not work even if the unlocking component 42 is pressed. When the outer cover 411 is in an open state, the Hall element 72 generates a signal. At this time, the air pump 2 will work only when the unlocking component 42 is pressed.
[0096] In this embodiment, the riding cup further includes a charging assembly 8 and an indicating assembly 9. The charging assembly 8 is used to charge the battery 5, and the indicating assembly 9 is used to indicate the remaining power and charging status of the battery 5. The indicating assembly 9 includes an indicator light, and an indicating hole 122 is provided on the upper cover 12. The indicating assembly 9 is fixed to the upper cover 12 by screws, and the indicating assembly 9 and the indicating hole 122 are sealed.
[0097] In this embodiment, the installation chamber 1 formed by the upper cover 12 and the lower cover 11 is sealed from the outside.
[0098] In this embodiment, the sealed cup body 01 is a stainless steel double-layer structure, and the lower end of the lower cover 11 is provided with a main sealing ring for sealing the lower cover 11 and the cup body 01. The main sealing ring includes an inner rectangular portion, an outer deformation portion and a middle deformation groove, and the deformation portion has an arc surface that matches the cup body 01. The main sealing ring is arranged at the lower end of the lower cover 11, so that better sealing performance can be obtained, and the volume required to be filled by the air pump 2 can be reduced.
[0099] In this embodiment, the through hole 131 of the mounting frame 13 includes a buffer section 1311 at the bottom and a water outlet section 1312 at the top, and the aperture of the buffer section 1311 is larger than the aperture of the water outlet section 1312. The larger aperture of the buffer section 1311 not only facilitates the installation of the conduit 17, but more importantly, can cache a certain amount of water, so that when the water in the cup body 01 is full, the buffer section 1311 can reduce or prevent water from overflowing from the suction nozzle 16 (the outer cover assembly 41 is opened when the cup cover 02 is screwed into the cup body 01). The aperture of the buffer section 1311 is 1.5-2.5 times the aperture of the conduit 17, and the length of the buffer section 1311 (also the height when placed vertically) is 0.5-2 times the length of the threaded section of the cup body 01 (also the height when placed vertically).
[0100] In this embodiment, the relationship between whether the air pump 2 works or not and whether the trigger switch 61 is triggered (the outer cover assembly 41 is opened) can be as follows: 1. When the trigger switch 61 is triggered, the air pump 2 works. If the trigger switch 61 is triggered and then released, the air pump 2 stops working, that is, the trigger switch 61 needs to be in a triggered state at all times, which is manifested in that the trigger part needs to be pressed all the time; 2. After the trigger switch 61 is triggered, the air pump 2 works for a certain period of time according to the preset program, regardless of whether the trigger switch 61 is released, that is, it is sufficient to trigger it, and there is no need to keep the trigger switch 61 in a triggered state all the time. This is manifested in that after the trigger part is pressed once, the air pump 2 works for a period of time and then stops; 3. After the trigger switch 61 is triggered, the air pump 2 always works until the trigger switch 61 is triggered again. This is manifested in that after pressing the trigger part once, the air pump 2 always works, and the air pump 2 stops working after releasing the trigger part and pressing it again. In the above three cases, the air pump 2 first operates at a lower power for a period of time (such as 1 second) and then operates at a higher power. When the air pump 2 operates at a lower power, the gas in the water outlet channel can be discharged more slowly, reducing the gas flow rate, reducing the impact of the gas on the human body, and improving the user experience. This embodiment gives priority to the first case, that is, the pressing member 621 needs to be pressed all the time to keep the trigger switch 61 in the trigger state.
[0101] The use process of the riding cup of the first embodiment of the utility model is as follows: during riding, it is usually placed on the frame between the handlebars and the seat. At this time, the outer cover assembly 41 seals the suction nozzle 16, the position of the outer cover 411 is maintained by the unlocking member 42 and the cover opening return spring 43, and the position of the trigger assembly 62 is maintained by the trigger return spring 63. Due to the relationship between the magnet 71 on the outer cover 411 and the Hall element 72 on the control board 3, the air pump 2 will not work when the trigger assembly 62 is pressed; when drinking water is needed, pick up the water cup with one hand, ( The thumb) presses the unlocking member 42 on the front side (towards the human body), overcoming the force of the cover opening reset spring 43 to move the unlocking member 42 to the rear side, releasing the clamping fit between the outer cover assembly 41 and the unlocking member 42. The outer cover assembly 41 flips backward under the action of the torsion spring, and the suction nozzle 16 is opened. Since the Hall element 72 cannot sense the magnet 71 on the outer cover 411, the Hall element 72 generates a signal and sends it to the controller. At this time, hold the suction nozzle 16, and then (usually the index finger) press the trigger assembly 62 to overcome the trigger reset spring 63. The force causes the trigger assembly 62 to move forward, and the trigger assembly 62 activates the trigger switch 61. The controller receives the signal from the trigger switch 61 and instructs the air pump 2 to work. After the trigger assembly 62 moves to the forward position, the seal between the anti-dropping part 622 of the trigger assembly 62 and the trigger sealing ring 64 is released, and the outside air can enter the installation chamber 1 through the gap between the trigger part and the trigger sealing ring 64 and reach the air inlet end of the air pump 2. The airflow pumped by the air pump 2 reaches the cup body 01 through the air outlet 111 on the lower cover 11. 2 is sealed with the lower cover 11. As the gas in the space between the liquid surface on the upper part of the cup body 01 and the lower cover 11 increases and the air pressure increases, a sufficient air pressure difference is generated to send the liquid at the bottom of the cup body 01 out of the mouthpiece 16 through the conduit 17 and the water outlet channel; the trigger is always pressed during drinking; when drinking is finished, the trigger is released, and the air pump 2 stops working. The trigger is reset under the action of the trigger reset spring 63. At this time, the outer cover assembly 41 can be flipped forward (usually with the index finger) to re-engage the outer cover assembly 41 with the unlocking member 42. During operation, the air pump 2 first works at low power for a period of time (such as 1 second) to make the gas in the water outlet channel flow out at a lower speed, reducing the discomfort of pumping for the human body, and then the air pump 2 continues to operate at a higher power until the signal of the trigger switch 61 stops.
[0102] The beneficial effects of the riding cup of the first embodiment of the utility model are: it includes an installation chamber 1, an air pump 2, a control panel 3, a trigger switch 61, and a battery 5. When drinking water is needed, the trigger switch 61 is manually operated, and the control panel 3 instructs the air pump 2 to work. The gas pumped by the air pump 2 increases the air pressure in the upper space of the cup body 01 of the riding cup, and presses the water at the bottom of the cup body 01 along the water outlet channel to achieve water outlet; the trigger switch 61 is manually operated, and the water outlet is achieved by the pressure pumped by the air pump 2, which is different from the existing method; one-handed operation is achieved; the upper cover 12, the lower cover 11 and the mounting frame 13 have a unique structure; by forming a buffer section 1311 with an aperture larger than the conduit 17 through the water outlet channel, the buffer section 1311 can cache water, thereby avoiding or reducing water overflowing from the suction nozzle 16 at the upper end of the water outlet channel during the installation of the cup cover 02, and at the same time, the buffer section 1311 stores water so that the water outlet is faster.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the invention includes but is not limited to the contents described in the above specific implementation. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the invention will be included in the scope of the claims.
