Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of portable liquid containers, in particular to a portable water cup. Background Art

[0002] At present, for a portable water cup with a straw, a double-layer lid must be used. The lower layer is used to fix the straw, and the upper layer is flipped open and closed to protect the straw and ensure sealing. Thus, on the one hand, the portable water cup with a straw has a relatively high cost due to the need to install an outer lid. On the other hand, since the outer lid is often flipped open and closed, especially when it falls to the ground, it is easy to be damaged at the joint. At this time, the entire lid needs to be completely replaced, resulting in a high cost of damage.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a portable water cup with a relatively low cost, not easily damaged or with a low cost of damage repair. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a portable water cup with a relatively low cost, not easily damaged or with a low cost of damage repair.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0006] A portable water cup includes a cup body and a cup lid arranged on the top of the cup body. A straw is arranged on the cup lid. One end of the straw extends towards the cup body, and the other end extends upwards from the cup lid. A storage groove is arranged on the top surface of the cup lid. The shape of the storage groove matches that of the straw. The storage groove is recessed downward from the top of the cup lid. The part of the straw extending upwards from the cup lid is made of a bendable soft material.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, after the drinking action is completed, the soft straw can be bent and inserted into the storage groove, so that the inside and outside of the portable water cup are isolated and sealed from each other without leakage of water or air, and there is no need to additionally install a flipping outer lid and switch above the lid. Even when tilted, overturned, or inverted, there will be no water leakage.

[0008] As an improved solution, a ventilation hole communicating with the bottom surface of the cup lid is arranged at the bottom of the storage groove. Specifically, there is a cylindrical boss in the middle of the storage groove, and the outer diameter of the upper part of the cylindrical boss gradually decreases from bottom to top. The ventilation hole is arranged at the top of the cylindrical boss. By adopting the above technical solution, on the premise of not affecting the sealing performance when the straw is placed in the storage groove, when the straw is pulled out of the storage groove to absorb water, the ventilation hole can be used to allow external gas to enter the cup body to prevent the situation of unable to continuously absorb water. In addition, the cylindrical boss with an outer diameter gradually decreasing from bottom to top can also help to fix the straw during storage to prevent the straw from accidentally falling off and leaking water.

[0009] As an improved solution, a one-way valve that only allows air to enter the cup from outside the cup is provided at the bottom of the vent hole.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to prevent blowing air into the portable water cup through a straw, thereby avoiding the situation where the liquid in the cup is blown out through the vent hole.

[0011] As an improved solution, the horizontal cross-section inside the storage groove is oval, the horizontal cross-section of the straw is circular, and the minor semi-axis of the horizontal cross-section inside the storage hole is smaller than the radius of the horizontal cross-section of the straw.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the circular straw can be pinched into an oval shape and inserted into the storage groove. After releasing the hand, the straw returns to a circular shape. Since the radius of its fully restored state is greater than the minor semi-axis of the storage groove, the straw will press against the inner surface of the storage groove before fully restoring its shape and continuously exert pressure on the storage groove, generating friction, resulting in the straw being maintained in the storage groove and not falling off automatically. When the straw needs to be taken out, only need to pinch the straw into an oval cross-section again, and the straw can be easily taken out.

[0013] As an improved solution, the vertical cross-section of the storage groove is a trapezoid with a wider top and a narrower bottom.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the straw is inserted into the storage groove, as it gradually goes deeper, the storage groove will gradually increase the squeezing force and friction on the straw, and the straw is maintained in the storage groove and does not fall off automatically.

[0015] As an improved solution, a limiting protrusion surrounding the outer side surface of the straw is provided on the part where the straw extends upward from the cup lid.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the straw is inserted into the storage groove to a certain depth, the limiting protrusion will block the straw from further entering the storage groove outside the storage groove, preventing the straw from being inserted too tightly and being difficult to take out.

[0017] As an improved solution, an anti-slip component is provided on the cup lid / cup body. The anti-slip component includes a connecting rope, a first magnetic component, a second magnetic component, and a hanging buckle; one end of the connecting rope is connected to the hanging buckle, and the other end is connected to the cup lid / cup body; the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can attract each other and are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting rope.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the hanging buckle can be hooked on the backpack / waist belt. Usually, it relies on the mutual attraction of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component. When drinking water, use the hand to separate the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, bring it to the mouth, and then put the portable water cup back to its original position after drinking.

[0019] As an improved solution, the ventilation hole extends upward and turns back inside to the position of the top surface of the cup lid.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the height of the ventilation hole inside the cup can be increased, avoiding the situation that the liquid in the cup is blown out through the ventilation hole.

[0021] As an improved solution, an indicator light is provided outside the cup body, a temperature sensor is provided inside the cup body, and the temperature sensor is signal-connected to the indicator light.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, after the temperature sensor senses the temperature of the liquid in the water cup, it sends a corresponding signal to the indicator light, and the indicator light emits different bright lights according to different signals, which can be different in brightness or color, to display the temperature of the liquid in the water cup, avoiding scalding caused by overheated liquid entering the mouth through the straw.

[0023] As an improved solution, a speaker and a signal receiving device are provided on the cup lid / cup body, and the speaker is signal-connected to the signal receiving device.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water cup cannot be found, a signal can be sent to the signal receiving device to cause the speaker to sound, so as to find the water cup.

[0025] As an improved solution, a snap fastener is provided on the cup lid, a dust-proof piece is arranged around the side of the straw, and a snap hole matching the snap fastener is provided on the dust-proof piece.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, after the straw is inserted into the storage groove, the snap hole of the dust-proof piece is sleeved on the snap fastener. On the one hand, it can prevent the straw from coming out of the storage groove and avoid water leakage caused by touching the straw and popping it out. On the other hand, the dust-proof piece can cover the periphery of the storage groove to prevent dust from entering the storage groove.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0028] The soft straw can be bent and inserted into the storage groove after the drinking action is completed, so that the inside and outside of the portable water cup are isolated and sealed from each other without water leakage or air leakage, and there is no need to additionally provide a flipped outer lid and a switch above the lid body. Even if it is tilted, turned over or inverted, there will be no water leakage. The long straw is more convenient for the user to drink; one end of the straw is bent and inserted into the storage groove, and the two sides are blocked and connected after the straw is bent, so the water cup will not leak even if it is tilted or inverted. There is a cylindrical boss in the middle of the storage groove that can fit tightly with the straw, and there is a through hole (ventilation hole) in the middle of the cylinder in the middle of the storage groove to ensure smooth water absorption.

[0045] Embodiment 1:

[0046] As attached Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a portable water cup includes a cup body 1 and a cup lid 2 provided on the top of the cup body 1. A straw 3 is provided on the cup lid 2. One end of the straw 3 extends towards the cup body 1, and the other end extends upward from the cup lid 2. A storage groove 4 is provided on the top surface of the cup lid 2. The shape of the storage groove 4 matches that of the straw 3, and the storage groove 4 is recessed downward from the top of the cup lid 2. The part of the straw 3 that extends upward from the cup lid 2 is made of a bendable soft material.

[0047] The soft straw 3 can be bent and inserted into the storage groove 4 after the drinking action is completed, so that the inside and outside of the portable water cup are isolated and sealed from each other, preventing water leakage and air leakage, and there is no need to additionally provide a flipped outer lid and switch above the lid body. Even when tilted, turned over, or inverted, there will be no water leakage.

[0048] A ventilation hole 5 communicating with the bottom surface of the cup lid 2 is provided at the bottom of the storage groove 4.

[0049] On the premise of not hindering the sealing performance of the straw 3 when placed in the storage groove 4, when the straw 3 is pulled out of the storage groove 4 to absorb water, the ventilation hole 5 can be used to allow external gas to enter the cup body 1 to prevent the situation of unable to continuously absorb water.

[0050] A one-way valve that only allows air to enter the cup from the outside is provided at the bottom of the ventilation hole 5.

[0051] It can prevent blowing air into the portable water cup through the straw 3, thereby avoiding the situation of the liquid in the cup being blown out through the ventilation hole 5.

[0052] The horizontal cross-section inside the storage groove 4 is oval, the horizontal cross-section of the straw 3 is circular, and the minor semi-axis of the horizontal cross-section inside the storage hole is smaller than the radius of the horizontal cross-section of the straw 3.

[0053] The circular straw 3 can be pinched flat into an oval shape and inserted into the storage groove 4. After releasing the hand, the straw 3 returns to a circular shape. Because the radius of its fully restored state is greater than the minor semi-axis of the storage groove 4, the straw 3 will press against the inner surface of the storage groove 4 before fully restoring its shape and continuously exert pressure on the storage groove 4, generating frictional force, resulting in the straw 3 being maintained in the storage groove 4 and not falling off automatically. When the straw 3 needs to be taken out, only need to pinch the straw 3 flat again to form an oval cross-section, and then the straw 3 can be easily taken out.

[0054] The vertical cross-section of the storage groove 4 is trapezoidal with a wider top and a narrower bottom.

[0055] When the straw 3 is inserted into the storage groove 4, as it gradually goes deeper, the storage groove 4 will gradually increase the squeezing force and frictional force on the straw, and the straw 3 will be maintained in the storage groove 4 and not fall off automatically.

[0056] A limiting protrusion 6 surrounding the outer side surface of the straw 3 is provided on the part of the straw 3 that extends upward from the cup lid 2.

[0057] The straw 3 is inserted into the storage groove 4 to a certain depth. The limit protrusion 6 will block the straw 3 from further entering the storage groove 4 outside the storage groove 4, preventing the straw 3 from being inserted too tightly and being difficult to take out.

[0058] An anti-slip component is provided on the cup lid 2 / cup body 1. The anti-slip component includes a connecting rope, a first magnetic component, a second magnetic component, and a hanging fastener; one end of the connecting rope is connected to the hanging fastener, and the other end is connected to the cup lid 2 / cup body 1; the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can attract each other and are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting rope.

[0059] The hanging fastener can be hooked on the backpack / waist belt. Usually, it relies on the mutual attraction of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component. When drinking water, pull the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component apart with your hand, bring it to the mouth, and then put the portable water cup back to its original position after drinking.

[0060] The ventilation hole 5 extends upward and turns back inside to the top surface position of the cup lid 2.

[0061] It can raise the height of the ventilation hole 5 inside the cup body 1 and avoid the situation that the liquid in the cup is blown out from the ventilation hole 5.

[0062] An indicator light is provided outside the cup body 1, and a temperature sensor is provided inside the cup body 1. The temperature sensor is signal-connected to the indicator light.

[0063] After the temperature sensor senses the temperature of the liquid in the water cup, it sends a corresponding signal to the indicator light. The indicator light emits different bright lights according to different signals, which can be different in brightness or different in color, to display the temperature of the liquid in the water cup and avoid scalding caused by overheated liquid entering the mouth through the straw 3.

[0064] A speaker and a signal receiving device are provided on the cup lid 2 / cup body 1. The speaker is signal-connected to the signal receiving device.

[0065] When the water cup cannot be found, a signal can be sent to the signal receiving device to cause the speaker to sound, so as to find the water cup.
