[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] In order to solve the problem that in the case of dark-colored medicine, when granular medicine adheres to the cup wall or forms lumps, it is impossible to know whether the granular medicine has completely dissolved, resulting in the need to add water again to dissolve the undissolved part after drinking or dissolve part of it and then dissolve again, and finally it is easy for children to resist taking medicine due to too much liquid or too high concentration. As Figures 1-6 shown, a medicine-taking measuring cup for children is provided, which includes a transparent cup body 1, scales provided on the transparent cup body 1, and a cup cover 2 that cooperates with the transparent cup body. A through hole 3 is provided on the cup cover 2, and a straw 4 inserted into the transparent cup body 1 is inserted into the through hole 3. A medicine-loading structure 5 capable of observing its interior is provided on the straw 4; the medicine-loading structure 5 includes a filter cover body structure 6 or a filter cup body structure 7 capable of filtering liquid provided on the straw 4, and a filter cup body structure 7 or a filter cover body structure 6 that cooperates with the filter cover body structure 6 or the filter cup body structure 7 to filter liquid.

[0039] In practice, regardless of whether the filtering cup body structure 7 is provided on the straw, when a child needs to take medicine, warm water is poured into the transparent cup body according to the scale, and then granular medicine is poured into the filtering cup body structure 7. After pouring, the opening of the filtering cup body structure 7 is closed by the filtering cover body structure 6 to fix the medicine loading structure 5 on the straw. The straw can be inserted into the cup lid. When the lid with the straw is covered on the transparent body, the medicine loading structure is placed in the transparent cup body in contact with water, and the medicine loading structure is rotated or lifted by rotating or pulling the straw to quickly dissolve the medicine in water. Moreover, the medicine loading structure can be lifted out of the water surface through the straw, which is conducive to observing whether all the medicine inside has melted, so as to reduce the problem of insufficient medicine dosage caused by children's resistance to taking medicine. Of course, in practice, the straw may not be inserted into the cup lid and the medicine loading structure may be directly placed in the transparent cup body in contact with water.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] On the basis of Embodiment 1, the filtering cover body structure 6 includes a threaded collar 8, a filter net 9 provided on the collar 8, and a cross-shaped reinforcement member 10 provided on the collar 8 to reinforce the filter net 9. The intersection position of the cross-shaped reinforcement member 10 is located at the center of the filtering cover body structure 6. When the filtering cover body structure 6 is provided on the straw 4, the straw passes through the intersection position of the cross-shaped reinforcement member 10 and the corresponding filter net 9. The filtering cup body structure 7 includes an annular ring 11 that is in threaded cooperation with the collar 8, a filtering cup net 12 connected to the annular ring 11, and two U-shaped reinforcement members 13 provided on the annular ring 11 to reinforce the filtering cup net 12. The bottoms of the two U-shaped reinforcement members 13 intersect and the intersection position is located at the center of the filtering cup body structure 7. When the filtering cup body structure 7 is provided on the straw 4, the straw 4 passes through the intersection position of the two U-shaped reinforcement members 13 and the corresponding filtering cup net 12, and the bottom of the straw 4 is located on one side of the annular ring 11. Among them, both the filter net 9 and the filtering cup net 12 are fine filter nets (only allowing liquid or very fine particulate matter to pass through, and very fine particles refer to those that are not easy for children to feel a sense of particles), and the inside can be seen by the user, that is, it is convenient to observe whether the medicine inside has melted.

[0042] In practice, the filter meshes in the filter cover structure and the filter cup structure can effectively filter out larger particulate matter in the medicine and dissolve it specifically to ensure that the medicine for children is finer. The cross-shaped reinforcement member reinforces the filter mesh additionally, and the two U-shaped reinforcement members reinforce the filter cup mesh additionally, increasing the durability of the filter mesh and preventing damage during multiple uses or cleaning processes. The intersection position of the cross-shaped reinforcement member is at the center of the filter cover structure or the bottom surfaces of the two U-shaped reinforcement members intersect and the intersection position is at the center of the filter cup structure, aiming to facilitate the cooperation with the straw and also conducive to the cooperation with subsequent structures, using to increase the stability of the structure. Specifically as shown in the figure, the purpose of limiting the bottom of the straw to be on one side of the ring is to prevent the problem that the straw is too deep and the medicine is likely to enter the straw. Of course, in practice, it cannot be excluded that the filter cover structure 6 and the filter cup structure 7 can also be other structures.

[0043] Embodiment 3

[0044] On the basis of Embodiment 2, the cross-shaped reinforcement member 10 and the U-shaped reinforcement member 13 are arranged on one inner side of the medicine loading structure 5. Limiting the cross-shaped reinforcement member and the U-shaped reinforcement member to be arranged on one inner side of the medicine loading structure aims to prevent the medicine loading structure from being not easily placed at the bottom of the transparent cup body, thus being not conducive to children sucking up the medicine through the straw or, when there is too little water, being not conducive to contacting and dissolving with water. The width and thickness of the cross-shaped reinforcement member 10 and the U-shaped reinforcement member 13 are selected and applied according to actual requirements.

[0045] Embodiment 4

[0046] On the basis of Embodiment 3, the straw 4 includes a hard tube 14 that cooperates with the filter cover structure 6 or the filter cup structure 7, and a soft tube 15 arranged on the hard tube 14 and cooperating with the mouth of a child. The straw is composed of a hard tube and a soft tube respectively, aiming to facilitate the installation of the medicine loading structure through the hard tube and also facilitate controlling the movement of the medicine loading structure in water through the hard tube for medicine dissolution, that is, the hard tube is placed outside the cover and can control the shaking or rotation of the medicine loading structure outside the cover.

[0047] Embodiment 5

[0048] On the basis of Embodiment 4, a bottom tube 16 is inserted into and rotatably engaged with the hard tube 14 on the filter cover structure 6 or the filter cup structure 7 that cooperates with the filter cup structure 7 or the filter cover structure 6 on the hard tube 14; one side of the top end of the bottom tube 16 on the filter cup structure 7 is located on one side of the ring 11. A bottom tube is inserted into and rotatably engaged with the hard tube on the filter cup structure or the filter cover structure that cooperates with the filter cover structure or the filter cup structure on the hard tube, so as to facilitate complete contact with the bottom of the transparent cup through the bottom tube, which is beneficial to completely sucking up the dissolved medicine. The purpose of limiting that one side of the top end of the bottom tube on the filter cup structure is located on one side of the ring is to prevent the bottom tube from passing through the bottom and the problem that the medicine easily enters the bottom tube. The bottom tube in this embodiment can effectively prevent the situation that the straw cannot suck up the liquid on one side of the bottom of the transparent cup due to the thickness of the bottom of the filter cup structure 7 or the filter cover structure 6.

[0049] The filter cover structure 6 or the filter cup structure 7 is fixedly arranged on the hard tube 14 or threadedly arranged on the hard tube 14. Specifically, it can be selected according to the actual situation.
