Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of daily necessities production, and particularly relates to a water cup with a temperature regulation function. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, drinking boiled water is an indispensable part of people's daily life. Especially for people who pursue a healthy diet, boiled water is highly favored due to its pure and impurity-free characteristics. However, when water is heated to the boiling state, its temperature is often much higher than the comfortable range that can be directly drunk by the human body, which leads to a common problem: users need to wait for a long time for the boiled water to naturally cool down to a suitable drinking temperature. This process not only prolongs the waiting time of users but also greatly affects the immediate drinking experience.

[0003] To improve this situation, a series of products aiming to quickly regulate the temperature of hot water have emerged on the market. Among them, the technology using phase change materials for temperature control has attracted much attention due to its theoretical high efficiency and environmental friendliness. Phase change materials can absorb or release a large amount of heat within a specific temperature range while maintaining a relatively stable temperature, which makes them have broad application prospects in the field of temperature control. However, in practical applications, this technology still faces several challenges.

[0004] Firstly, although phase change materials have high energy storage and release capabilities, their own thermal conductivity coefficients are generally low, which means that the heat transfer speed within the materials is relatively slow. Therefore, in the process of quickly cooling high-temperature boiled water to a suitable drinking temperature, the temperature control speed of phase change materials often fails to meet the immediate needs of users. Secondly, in order to accelerate the heat conduction inside the phase change materials, some product designs require users to perform shaking operations during the temperature control process. The original intention of this design is to promote the distribution and exchange of heat in the phase change materials through physical vibration, but the actual effect is not ideal. On the one hand, the shaking operation increases the operation complexity of users and is also prone to causing the water cup to fall off and be damaged; on the other hand, when the phase change materials complete the phase change process (such as changing from liquid to solid), their internal structures tend to be stable. At this time, shaking has little effect on accelerating heat conduction, and may even cause material damage or performance degradation due to excessive shaking. Therefore, although there are products on the market that use phase change materials for hot water temperature control, there are still problems such as slow temperature control speed, complex operation, and limited effect in practical applications. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a water cup with a temperature regulation function, which is used to solve the problems of slow cooling speed, inconvenient operation, and limited effect when the temperature control cup in the prior art cools hot water by using phase change materials.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related purposes, the present utility model provides a water cup with a temperature regulation function, including a cup body and a temperature control component;

[0007] The temperature control component is installed inside the cup body and includes a temperature control outer shell and a heat pipe; the inside of the temperature control outer shell is filled with a phase change material; the heat pipe extends into the phase change material, and at least one end of the heat pipe is arranged outside the phase change material.

The inward flanging is sleeved and fixed on the outer side of the heat pipe, and the outward flanging is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the temperature control outer shell.

[0010] Optionally, the heat conducting sheet is provided with through holes to facilitate the flow and filling of the phase change material.

[0011] Optionally, the temperature control outer shell is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the cup body.

[0012] Optionally, it further includes a cup lid, and the temperature control outer shell is fixedly installed on the cup lid.

[0013] Optionally, the cup lid includes a lid core and a lid body;

[0014] The lid core can be driven to insert into the bottle mouth of the cup body, and the bottom end is recessed inward to form an installation groove. The top end of the side wall of the temperature control outer shell extends upward and is fixedly connected to the installation groove;

[0020] The present utility model installs a temperature control component inside the cup body of the water cup, and splits the temperature control component into a temperature control housing and a heat pipe. A phase change material is added inside the temperature control housing. By arranging the heat pipe to extend into the phase change material and ensuring that at least one end of the heat pipe is arranged outside the phase change material and can contact the heat source, the excellent thermal conductivity of the heat pipe is utilized to achieve the rapid transfer of heat from the high-temperature region inside the phase change material to the low-temperature region outside, effectively breaking the internal thermal resistance of the phase change material, making the heat flow smoother, greatly improving the heat conduction efficiency. The phase change material can also synchronously absorb the heat in the water cup through the temperature control housing. This two-way heat absorption mechanism inside and outside broadens the heat source and conduction path, accelerates the thermal equilibrium process inside the water cup, and achieves rapid and stable cooling.

[0021] The present utility model adds multiple layers of annular heat conducting sheets between the coaxially arranged heat pipe and the temperature control housing. The multiple heat conducting sheets not only increase the heat dissipation area, but also through their unique structural design, achieve uniform distribution and rapid transfer of heat, making the cooling effect of the overall system more significant. And through the flanging design of the heat conducting sheet, the heat transfer area between the heat conducting sheet and the heat pipe and the temperature control housing is increased, further accelerating the thermal equilibrium process inside the water cup, achieving rapid and stable cooling. Since the heat is conducted and dissipated in a timely and efficient manner, the internal temperature gradient of the phase change material is significantly reduced, avoiding the risk of material performance degradation or failure caused by local overheating. This not only helps to extend the service life of the material, but also improves the operation stability and reliability of the entire system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The shapes and arrangement methods of multiple heat pipes 3 are not limited here); the phase change material can be sodium acetate trihydrate or paraffin. In this application, by installing a temperature control component inside the water cup body 2 and splitting the temperature control component into a temperature control housing 4 and a heat pipe 3, by fixedly connecting one end of the heat pipe 3 to the bottom wall of the temperature control housing 4 and adding a phase change material in the accommodation cavity between the heat pipe 3 and the temperature control housing 4, the excellent heat conductivity of the heat pipe 3 is utilized to achieve the rapid transfer of heat from the high-temperature region inside the phase change material to the low-temperature region outside, effectively breaking the internal thermal resistance of the phase change material, making the heat flow smoother, greatly improving the heat conduction efficiency. The phase change material can also synchronously absorb the heat in the water cup through the temperature control housing 4. This internal and external two-way heat absorption mechanism broadens the heat source and conduction path, accelerates the internal heat balance process of the water cup, and realizes rapid and stable cooling.

[0033] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the heat pipe 3 and the temperature control housing 4 are arranged coaxially, and an annular heat conducting sheet 5 is fixedly connected between the two.

In this application, by adding multiple annular heat conducting sheets 5 between the heat pipe 3 and the temperature control housing 4, the multiple heat conducting sheets 5 not only increase the heat dissipation area, realize the uniform distribution and rapid transfer of heat, making the cooling effect of the overall system more significant, but also through the design of the shape of the heat conducting sheet 5, the turned edge design of the heat conducting sheet 5 increases the heat transfer area between the heat conducting sheet 5 and the heat pipe 3 and the temperature control housing 4, further accelerating the internal heat balance process of the water cup and realizing rapid and stable cooling. Since the heat is conducted and dissipated in a timely and efficient manner, the internal temperature gradient of the phase change material is significantly reduced, avoiding the risk of material performance degradation or failure caused by local overheating.
