[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermos cup technology, and in particular to a thermos cup. Background Technology
[0002] Electric thermos flasks are generally containers for holding water made of ceramic or stainless steel with a vacuum layer. They have a lid that seals tightly, and the vacuum insulation layer slows down the heat dissipation of the liquid inside, thus achieving the purpose of keeping the water warm. As living standards improve, users have higher demands for the functionality and portability of thermos flasks. These flasks not only focus on upgraded materials, such as using food-grade stainless steel and environmentally friendly silicone to ensure health and safety, but also incorporate smart technology, such as temperature display, stirring and brewing functions, and intelligent temperature control.
[0003] The applicant obtained the following prior art through search, specifically, patent CN216932634U discloses a thermos cup with a stirring mechanism, including a cup body and a lid that can open or seal the cup body. A stirring mechanism is provided in the cup body, including a stirring shaft rotatably disposed in the cup body, an elastic part that can drive the stirring shaft to elastically rise and fall, stirring blades vertically disposed on the outer ring wall of the stirring shaft, and a drive mechanism that drives the stirring shaft to rotate. This thermos cup has a built-in stirring function, which can quickly stir the liquid inside the cup body. Since the stirring mechanism is built into the thermos cup, when stirring is needed, the stirring shaft can be rotated by the drive mechanism to stir the liquid inside the cup body in real time, without the need to find a separate stirring rod for stirring, which is convenient to use.
[0004] As can be seen from the patent above, although this type of thermos cup with a stirring mechanism can stir the liquid inside the cup quickly and in real time without the need to find a separate stirring rod, making it convenient to use, there are situations in actual use where it is necessary to change the beverage and brew it again. Especially when the beverage (such as herbal tea, fruit juice, etc.) contains particulate matter, these substances are easy to remain on the inner wall of the cup and are difficult to clean thoroughly with simple rinsing. As a result, users still need to find and use a cleaning brush to clean the inner wall of the cup separately, which increases the cleaning burden on users and reduces the convenience of use.

[0033] Example 1:
[0034] This utility model proposes a thermos cup.
[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, a thermos cup includes a cup body 1 and a cup lid 2, and also includes a filter plate 3, a stirring assembly and a scraper 4. The filter plate 3 is detachably installed at the mouth of the cup body 1 and is used to filter raw materials. The stirring assembly includes a stirring rod 5 and several blades 6. The stirring rod 5 is movably installed on the filter plate 3 and extends into the cup body 1. The several blades 6 are evenly and spaced along the extension direction of the stirring rod 5, and the scraper 4 is disposed on the stirring rod 5 and is used to clean the raw materials on the inner wall and bottom surface of the cup body 1.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this thermos cup, the cup body 1 holds beverages and the lid 2 seals the opening, thus keeping the beverages warm. Furthermore, a filter disc 3 is detachably installed at the opening of the cup body 1. The filter disc 3 is snap-fitted to the cup body 1, facilitating disassembly and assembly, and making it easy to place and clean beverage ingredients. When the user opens the lid 2 to drink the beverage, the filter disc 3 filters out solid particles such as tea leaves, maintaining the taste and clarity of the beverage. Understandably, when a user needs to brew a beverage, after removing the lid 2, the user can take out the filter tray 3 and put the ingredients and liquid (usually hot water) into the cup body 1. After completion, the filter tray 3 is reinstalled on the cup body 1. Since the stirring rod 5 in the stirring assembly is movably installed on the filter tray 3 and extends into the cup body 1, the stirring rod 5 and the filter tray 3 can be installed in a plug-in manner. That is, a hole is opened on the filter tray 3 (preferably at the center of the filter tray 3), and the stirring rod 5 passes through the hole and extends into the cup body 1. Since several blades 6 are evenly and intermittently arranged on the stirring rod 5 along its extension direction, the user can quickly stir the beverage inside the cup body 1 by rotating the stirring rod 5, thereby shortening the brewing time and improving the efficiency and uniformity of brewing the beverage, ensuring the taste of the drink, and eliminating the need to use a separate stirring rod to stir the beverage, thus improving the convenience of use.
[0037] In addition, since the stirring rod 5 is equipped with a scraper 4, when the user rotates the stirring rod 5, the scraper 4 rotates synchronously with several stirring blades on the stirring rod 5. On the one hand, the scraper 4 can promote the flow of beverage ingredients, thereby making the beverage more thoroughly and evenly mixed. On the other hand, the scraper 4 can effectively scrape off the ingredients adhering to the inner wall and bottom surface of the cup body 1 and fully mix them into the beverage, thus helping to improve the drinking taste and quality of the beverage. At the same time, when it is necessary to change the beverage and clean the cup body 1, the user can remove the filter tray 3 and pour out the beverage. After finishing the drink, the filter tray 3 is reinstalled onto the cup body 1. At this time, the user can place the cup body 1 with the rim facing down and rotate the stirring rod 5 to make the scraper 4 scrape the remaining ingredients attached to the inner wall and bottom surface of the cup body 1. The detached ingredients will naturally fall onto the filter tray 3 (the side facing the inner wall of the cup body 1). After removing the filter tray 3, the user can completely pour out the remaining ingredients in the cup body 1, thus achieving effective cleaning of the ingredients. There is no need for the user to buy or use cleaning brushes or other tools, reducing the user's cleaning burden and further improving the convenience of use.
[0038] It is worth noting that, because the stirring component in this thermos cup is mounted on the filter plate 3, and the filter plate 3 is detachably installed on the cup body 1, the user can clean the stirring component and scraper 4 by removing the filter plate 3. This effectively prevents food residue from remaining on the stirring component and scraper 4, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the cup body 1 and maintaining consistent taste when changing different types of ingredients or beverages. It is convenient and reliable to use. Furthermore, the filter plate 3 has filter holes only in a limited area, which not only prevents the user's hands from being burned by high-temperature gas when rotating the stirring rod 5, improving user safety, but also ensures effective filtration of impurities when pouring beverages. The structural design is simple and reasonable.
[0039] In one embodiment, the stirring assembly further includes an elastic element 7. A groove for placing the elastic element 7 is provided on the filter plate 3. One end of the stirring rod 5 passes through the filter plate 3 from the mouth of the cup body 1 and extends into the cup body 1 through the groove. Both ends of the elastic element 7 are detachably connected to the groove wall and the stirring rod 5, respectively, so that the stirring rod 5 can rotate relative to the filter plate 3 via the elastic element 7. Specifically, as shown... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the elastic element 7 can be a coil spring, a feature of existing technology. Coil springs are compact and can continuously provide a large elastic restoring force in confined spaces. When the user rotates the stirring rod 5, the elastic element 7 gradually compresses and stores elastic potential energy. After the user releases the stirring rod 5, the elastic element 7 rebounds and releases the elastic potential energy, thereby driving the stirring rod 5 to rotate and stir the beverage in the cup 1. The structural design is simple and reasonable. Clearly, the elastic element 7 can temporarily replace the user in rotating the stirring rod 5, meaning the user only needs to rotate the stirring rod 5 intermittently. This not only reduces the user's labor intensity from rotating the stirring rod 5 but also further reduces the risk of burns to the user's hands from high-temperature gas, ensuring reliable use.
[0040] In one embodiment, a cover plate 8 is detachably installed at the opening of the groove, and a sealing ring is provided between the cover plate 8 and the opening of the groove. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover plate 8 and the groove can be detachably installed using a threaded connection or a snap-fit method, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the cover plate 8 and the replacement of components such as the elastic element 7. Furthermore, the cover plate 8 can seal the opening of the groove to prevent impurities from entering and affecting the contraction of the elastic element 7, ensuring reliable operation. Understandably, the sealing ring between the cover plate 8 and the groove opening ensures the groove's airtightness, preventing beverages from seeping into the groove and corroding the elastic element 7, thus extending the service life of the elastic element 7.
[0041] In one embodiment, specifically, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the end of the stirring rod 5 furthest from the cup body 1 extends beyond the filter plate 3 and is detachably fitted with a knob 9. The knob 9 and the stirring rod 5 can be detachably connected by a thread, which facilitates the user to rotate the stirring rod 5. The knob 9 can also axially limit the stirring rod 5, improving the installation stability and rotational stability of the stirring rod 5 during rotation.
[0042] In another embodiment, the stirring assembly further includes a drive unit, a power supply, and a control module disposed on the tray. The drive unit is communicatively connected to the power supply and control module, and is used to drive the stirring rod 5 to rotate relative to the filter disc 3. Understandably, the drive unit can be a micro motor, which is small in size, lightweight, and has moderate power, making it suitable for driving the stirring rod 5 to rotate. Power is supplied to the drive unit by the power supply, and because the drive unit is communicatively connected to the power supply and control module, the user can control the operation of the drive unit through the control module, thereby achieving automated stirring of the beverage. The user only needs to press a button on the control module or perform other simple operations to start or stop the stirring process, without manually rotating the stirring rod 5, reducing the user's workload and ensuring reliable operation. It is worth noting that the drive unit, power supply, and control module, as well as their communication connection methods, are all mature existing technologies, and their specific working principles and connection methods will not be elaborated here.
[0043] In one embodiment, the scraper 4 includes a plurality of scraping portions 10 and connecting portions 11. The plurality of scraping portions 10 are detachably mounted to the stirring rod 5 via the plurality of connecting portions 11. The plurality of scraping portions 10 are evenly and spaced apart along the circumference of the stirring rod 5, and all of the plurality of scraping portions 10 abut against the inner wall and bottom surface of the cup body 1. Specifically, as shown... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, since the scraper 4 includes several scraping parts 10, it can scrape the inner wall and bottom surface of the cup 1 at multiple points, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the inner wall and bottom surface of the cup 1, effectively preventing the residue or adhesion of raw material impurities, and ensuring reliable use. Furthermore, since the scraping parts 10 are detachably installed on the stirring rod 5 through several connecting parts 11, it not only ensures the overall connection stability of the scraper 4, but also improves the overall structural strength of the scraper 4 and extends the service life of the scraper 4. At the same time, the detachable installation method of the connecting parts 11 and the stirring rod 5 can be a threaded connection, which facilitates the disassembly, replacement, and maintenance of the scraper 4 as a whole.
[0044] In one embodiment, each scraper portion 10 is provided with a plurality of through slots 12 along the extending direction of the stirring rod 5. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figures 3 to 5As shown, since the scraping part 10 abuts against the inner wall and bottom surface of the cup body 1, when the stirring rod 5 drives the scraper 4 to rotate, the beverage can pass through several through grooves 12, which not only ensures the cleaning effect of raw material impurities, but also reduces the resistance encountered by the scraper 4 when rotating. The structure design is simple and reasonable.
[0045] In one embodiment, the cup body 1 has a plurality of protrusions evenly and at intervals along its circumference at the rim, and the filter tray 3 has notches 13 for the protrusions to extend into; a handle 14 is movably mounted on the filter tray 3. Specifically, as shown... Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the filter disc 3 can be positioned at multiple points by engaging with several protrusions and notches 13, thus improving the stability of the filter disc 3 on the cup body 1. Furthermore, since a handle 14 is movably installed on the filter disc 3, the user can pull out the filter disc 3 and other components by pulling the handle 14, making the operation simple and convenient.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
