Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a water cup, and more particularly to a water cup with adjustable heat dissipation performance. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, commonly used water cups are mainly divided into two types: one is a thermos cup with heat preservation function, which can keep the temperature inside the cup for a long time, so that the hot water inside remains at a high temperature for a long time and prevents the hot water from cooling down quickly; the other is a regular water cup without heat preservation function, which is only used to hold water and does not have heat preservation performance. Hot water put into this kind of regular water cup will cool down quickly, especially in low temperature environments.
[0003] When hot water is filled with a thermos, the temperature drops very slowly inside. To cool the water, you need to pour it into a regular cup or open the thermos lid. This easily leads to spills, causing burns or damage to surrounding items. Furthermore, users cannot keep the lid open while walking or cycling to cool the water. Therefore, users often feel thirsty but cannot drink the hot water from the thermos, risking burns.
[0004] Ordinary water cups do not have heat preservation properties, so the hot water inside quickly turns into cold water. For users who need to drink warm water, such cups are difficult to meet their needs, especially in winter, when the hot water in such cups cools down rapidly, making it impossible for users to drink warm water for a long time.
[0005] It is evident that both of the aforementioned common water cups cause inconvenience for users, failing to meet their needs for different water temperatures, and especially making it difficult to fulfill their needs for quick, long-term, and safe drinking of warm water. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a water cup with adjustable heat dissipation performance. This water cup can adjust its heat dissipation effect as needed, meeting the user's needs for rapid adjustment and long-term maintenance of the water temperature inside the cup.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a water cup with adjustable heat dissipation performance, including a water cup inner liner, a water cup outer shell, a cup lid, an insulating covering layer, and an adjustment switch. The water cup outer shell is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the water cup inner liner. The cup lid is detachably and fixedly installed on the opening of the water cup inner liner or the water cup outer shell and can seal and cover the opening of the water cup inner liner. The insulating covering layer with heat preservation performance is disposed between the water cup inner liner and the water cup outer shell. The adjustment switch is slidably installed on the outside of the water cup outer shell. The adjustment switch can adjust the heat conduction capacity of the insulating covering layer or adjust the coverage area of the insulating covering layer on the water cup inner liner to adjust the heat dissipation performance of the water cup.

At least one outer heat-conducting fin is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the outer shell of the water cup. There is a set gap between the outer heat-conducting fin and the outer wall of the inner liner of the water cup. The outer heat-conducting fin can reciprocate on the inner wall of the water cup and contact or separate from the inner heat-conducting fin. The outer heat-conducting fin is provided with a magnetic material. The adjustment switch is provided with a magnet. The adjustment switch can reciprocate on the outer shell of the water cup and drive the outer heat-conducting fin to reciprocate on the inner wall of the outer shell of the water cup through magnetic attraction. When the outer heat-conducting fin contacts the inner heat-conducting fin, it can transfer the heat of the inner liner of the water cup to the outer shell of the water cup.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, both the inner heat-conducting fins and the outer heat-conducting fins are elongated strip structures extending along the generatrix of the water cup. Several inner heat-conducting fins are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the water cup. A sliding base made of magnetic material is provided on the inner side wall of the water cup shell, which can slide along the circumference of the water cup. Several outer heat-conducting fins are fixed on the sliding base at intervals along the circumference of the water cup, and each outer heat-conducting fin corresponds to each inner heat-conducting fin. The adjustment switch is installed on the outer side wall of the water cup shell, which can slide along the circumference of the water cup shell. The magnet on the adjustment switch can be magnetically attracted to the sliding base. The adjustment switch can drive the sliding base to rotate around the axis of the water cup inside the water cup shell when it slides on the surface of the water cup shell.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, both the inner and outer heat-conducting fins are annular structures extending along the circumference of the water cup. Several inner heat-conducting fins are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the water cup. A sliding base made of magnetic material is provided on the inner side wall of the water cup shell, which can slide along the axial direction of the water cup. Several outer heat-conducting fins are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the water cup and fixed on the sliding base. Each outer heat-conducting fin corresponds to each inner heat-conducting fin. The adjustment switch is slidably mounted on the outer side wall of the water cup shell. The magnet on the adjustment switch can be magnetically attracted to the sliding base. The adjustment switch can slide on the surface of the water cup shell, which can drive the sliding base to slide along the axis of the water cup inside the water cup shell.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the cross-section of both the inner and outer heat-conducting fins along their extension direction is a triangular structure, and one side wall of the inner heat-conducting fin can be attached to one side wall of the outer heat-conducting fin.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the inner sidewall of the water cup shell is provided with an inner slide rail, the cross-section of the sliding base is a structure that matches the inner slide rail, the sliding base is slidably inserted into the inner slide rail, the outer heat-conducting fins are fixedly installed on the sidewall of the sliding base that extends out of the opening of the inner slide rail, the outer heat-conducting fins are stopped outside the opening of the inner slide rail, the outer sidewall of the water cup shell is provided with an outer slide rail that is directly opposite the inner slide rail, the adjustment switch is provided with a sliding part, the sliding part is slidably installed in the outer slide rail, the adjustment switch is exposed outside the outer slide rail and is stopped outside the opening of the outer slide rail.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the heat-insulating covering layer is an elastically expandable heat-insulating sheet. One end of the heat-insulating covering layer is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water cup shell, and the other end of the heat-insulating covering layer can elastically expand and contract along the circumference or axis of the water cup. The elastic expansion and contraction of the other end of the heat-insulating covering layer along the circumference or axis of the water cup can change the area of the inner liner of the water cup it covers. When the elastic expansion and contraction of the other end of the heat-insulating covering layer along the circumference or axis of the water cup reaches its limit position, it can completely cover the inner liner of the water cup. The adjusting switch can be installed on the outer surface of the water cup shell by sliding a set distance along the circumference or axis of the water cup. The water cup shell has an elongated opening extending along the circumference or axis of the water cup. The adjusting switch has a connecting part, which passes through the elongated opening and extends into the inner side of the water cup shell and is fixedly connected to the other end of the heat-insulating covering layer. The movement of the adjusting switch on the water cup shell can drive the other end of the heat-insulating covering layer to move synchronously.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rigid connecting strip is fixedly provided at the other end of the thermal insulation covering layer, and the rigid connecting strip is fixedly connected to the connecting part on the adjustment switch.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer shell of the water cup is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. There are two inner cups and two lids. The two inner cups are inserted into the outer shell with opposite opening directions. The two ends of the outer shell are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the openings of the two inner cups. A cylindrical space is formed between the inner wall of the outer shell and the outer walls of the two inner cups. The cylindrical heat-insulating covering layer can slide back and forth along the axial direction of the water cup and is accommodated in the cylindrical space. The height of the heat-insulating covering layer along the axial direction of the water cup is not less than the axial height of one inner cup. A long strip-shaped groove extending along the axial direction of the water cup is provided on the outer shell. The adjustment switch is slidably installed on the long strip-shaped groove. One end of the adjustment switch is fixedly connected to the heat-insulating covering layer by a connector or magnetic attraction. The other end of the adjustment switch protrudes from the outer shell of the water cup as the operating end. Pulling the adjustment switch can cause the heat-insulating covering layer to completely cover the outer side of one inner cup, or not completely cover either inner cup.
[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer shell of the water cup is also provided with a switch positioning structure, which can stop the adjustment switch from sliding to the designed position.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model designs the water cup as a double-layer structure formed by the inner liner and the outer shell of the water cup, with an insulating covering layer sandwiched between the two. The heat dissipation performance of the water cup can be adjusted by adjusting the heat conduction capacity of the insulating covering layer or the coverage area of the inner liner of the water cup through an adjustment switch set on the outer shell of the water cup. This allows users to adjust the heat dissipation speed of the water cup as needed to meet their drinking needs. Users can quickly dissipate heat from the water cup without opening the lid by adjusting the switch, allowing the hot water in the cup to quickly cool down to the required temperature. Furthermore, users can further adjust the switch to increase the heat preservation capacity of the insulating covering layer, so that the water temperature in the cup is maintained at the required temperature for a long time, making it convenient for users to drink warm water.

[0034] Example: A water cup with adjustable heat dissipation performance includes a water cup inner liner 1, a water cup outer shell 2, a cup lid 3, an insulating covering layer 4, and an adjustment switch 5. The water cup outer shell 2 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the water cup inner liner 1. The cup lid 3 is detachably and fixedly installed on the opening of the water cup inner liner 1 or the water cup outer shell 2 and can seal and cover the opening of the water cup inner liner 1. The insulating covering layer 4 with heat preservation performance is disposed between the water cup inner liner 1 and the water cup outer shell 2. The adjustment switch 5 is slidably installed on the outside of the water cup outer shell 2. The adjustment switch 5 can adjust the heat conduction capacity of the insulating covering layer 4 or adjust the coverage area of the insulating covering layer 4 on the water cup inner liner 1 to adjust the heat dissipation performance of the water cup.
[0035] When in use, after filling the inner liner 1 with hot water, if a longer period of heat preservation is required, the heat conduction capacity of the insulation layer 4 can be reduced or the coverage area of the insulation layer 4 over the inner liner 1 can be increased by adjusting switch 5 to reduce the heat dissipation performance of the cup. This allows the hot water in the inner liner 1 to cool down less over a longer period of time. To make the hot water in the inner liner 1 cool down the slowest, the heat conduction capacity of the insulation layer is reduced to the minimum design value or the insulation layer 4 completely covers the inner liner. If a faster cooling down is required, the heat conduction capacity of the insulation layer 4 can be increased or the coverage area of the insulation layer 4 over the inner liner 1 can be decreased by adjusting switch 5 to improve the heat dissipation performance of the cup. This allows the hot water in the inner liner 1 to cool down in a shorter period of time.
[0036] The above structure enables the adjustment of the cooling rate of hot water in the cup, allowing users to adjust the cooling rate of the hot water in the cup according to their needs. This ensures that when users need to drink warm water, the water temperature in the cup meets their drinking requirements, avoiding water that is too hot or too cold, thus improving the user's drinking comfort and convenience.
[0037] The heat-insulating covering layer 4 includes a vacuum cavity 6 formed by the inner side of the outer shell 2 and the outer side of the inner liner 1, an inner heat-conducting fin 7, and an outer heat-conducting fin 8. At least one inner heat-conducting fin 7 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the inner liner 1, and there is a set gap between the inner heat-conducting fin 7 and the inner wall of the outer shell 2. At least one outer heat-conducting fin 8 is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and there is a set gap between the outer heat-conducting fin 8 and the outer wall of the inner liner 1. The outer heat-conducting fin 8 can reciprocate on the inner wall of the cup and contact or separate from the inner heat-conducting fin 7. The outer heat-conducting fin 8 is provided with magnetic material, and the adjusting switch 5 is provided with a magnet. The adjusting switch 5 can reciprocate on the outer shell 2 and drive the outer heat-conducting fin 8 to reciprocate on the inner wall of the outer shell 2 through magnetic attraction. When the outer heat-conducting fin 8 contacts the inner heat-conducting fin 7, it can transfer the heat of the inner liner 1 to the outer shell 2.
[0038] A vacuum cavity 6 is formed between the outer shell 2 and the inner liner 1 of the water cup, which reduces the heat conduction between them, creating a thermos. This keeps the hot water in the inner liner 1 warm for a long time. The hot water cools down very slowly. To speed up the cooling process, simply adjust the position of the outer heat-conducting fins 8 using the switch 5, making them contact the inner heat-conducting fins 7. At this point, the inner liner 1, the inner heat-conducting fins 7, the outer heat-conducting fins 8, and the outer shell 2 are directly connected, forming a heat dissipation bridge. The heat from the inner liner 1 is dissipated through this bridge. The heat conduction to the outer shell 2 of the water cup can accelerate the heat dissipation of the hot water inside the cup. The more heat dissipation bridges formed between the inner side of the outer shell and the outer side of the inner liner 1 of the water cup, the larger the contact surface, and the faster the hot water dissipates heat. This structure allows the water cup to meet the needs of long-term heat preservation and rapid cooling without opening the lid. After the hot water in the cup cools down to the required temperature, the outer heat conduction fins 8 and the inner heat conduction fins 7 can be adjusted to separate, so that the water temperature in the cup is maintained at a suitable drinking temperature for a long time, which is conducive to the user's need to drink warm water quickly and for a long time.
[0039] Both the inner heat-conducting fins 7 and the outer heat-conducting fins are elongated strip structures extending along the generatrix of the water cup. Several inner heat-conducting fins 7 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the water cup. A sliding base 9 made of magnetic material is provided on the inner side wall of the water cup shell 2, which can slide along the circumference of the water cup. Several outer heat-conducting fins 8 are fixed on the sliding base 9 at intervals along the circumference of the water cup, and each outer heat-conducting fin 8 corresponds to each inner heat-conducting fin 7. The adjustment switch 5 is installed on the outer side wall of the water cup shell 2, which can slide along the circumference of the water cup shell 2. The magnet on the adjustment switch 5 can be magnetically attracted to the sliding base 9. The adjustment switch 5 can drive the sliding base 9 to rotate around the axis of the water cup inside the water cup shell 2 when sliding on the surface of the water cup shell 2. When adjusting the heat dissipation capacity of the water cup, simply slide the adjustment switch 5 on the outer shell 2 of the water cup so that the adjustment switch 5 slides along the circumference of the water cup. The adjustment switch 5 will then drive the sliding base 9 to slide synchronously on the inner wall of the outer shell 2 of the water cup through magnetic force, thereby driving all the outer heat-conducting fins 8 to move synchronously. This will enable all the outer heat-conducting fins 8 to contact or separate from all the inner heat-conducting fins 7 at the same time, so that the water cup alternates between the two states of heat preservation and rapid heat dissipation.
[0040] Both the inner heat-conducting fins 7 and the outer heat-conducting fins 8 are annular structures extending along the circumference of the water cup. Several inner heat-conducting fins 7 are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the water cup. The inner wall of the water cup shell 2 is provided with a sliding base 9 made of magnetic material that can slide along the axial direction of the water cup. Several outer heat-conducting fins 8 are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the water cup and fixed on the sliding base 9. Each outer heat-conducting fin 8 corresponds to each inner heat-conducting fin 7. The adjustment switch 5 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the water cup shell 2. The magnet on the adjustment switch 5 can be magnetically attracted to the sliding base 9. The adjustment switch 5 can slide on the surface of the water cup shell 2, which can drive the sliding base 9 to slide along the axis of the water cup inside the water cup shell 2. When adjusting the heat dissipation capacity of the water cup, simply slide the adjustment switch 5 on the outer shell 2 of the water cup so that the adjustment switch 5 slides along the axial direction of the water cup on the outer shell 2. The adjustment switch 5 then drives the sliding base 9 to slide up and down synchronously on the inner side wall of the outer shell 2 through magnetic force, thereby driving all the outer heat-conducting fins 8 to move synchronously. This allows all the outer heat-conducting fins 8 to contact or separate from all the inner heat-conducting fins 7 at the same time, so that the water cup alternates between the two states of heat preservation and rapid heat dissipation.
[0041] Both the inner heat-conducting fin 7 and the outer heat-conducting fin 8 have triangular cross-sections along their extension direction perpendicular to the triangle structure, and one side wall of the inner heat-conducting fin 7 can be attached to one side wall of the outer heat-conducting fin 8.
[0042] The inner heat-conducting fins 7 and the outer heat-conducting fins 8 adopt a triangular cross-sectional structure. On the one hand, this can improve the strength of the inner heat-conducting fins 7 and the outer heat-conducting fins 8, making them less prone to deformation and damage during long-term use. On the other hand, it can increase the contact surface between the two, allowing for rapid heat conduction when they come into contact. This improves the heat dissipation performance of the cup, accelerates the cooling of the hot water in the cup, and allows the hot water in the cup to quickly drop to a suitable drinking temperature. In addition, the cross-sections of the inner heat-conducting fins 7 and the outer heat-conducting fins 8 can also be other shapes, such as L-shaped or arc-shaped, etc. These are design solutions that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art based on this application and are all within the scope of protection of this application.
[0043] The inner wall of the water cup shell 2 is provided with an inner slide rail. The cross-section of the sliding base 9 is matched with the inner slide rail. The sliding base 9 is slidably inserted into the inner slide rail. The outer heat-conducting fins 8 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the sliding base 9 that extends outside the opening of the inner slide rail. The outer heat-conducting fins 8 stop outside the opening of the inner slide rail. The outer wall of the water cup shell 2 is provided with an outer slide rail that is directly opposite the inner slide rail. The adjusting switch 5 is provided with a sliding part that is slidably installed inside the outer slide rail. The adjusting switch 5 protrudes outside the outer slide rail and stops outside the opening of the outer slide rail. The inner and outer slide rails guide and limit the sliding of the sliding base 9 and the adjusting switch 5 respectively, ensuring that they slide along the prescribed path and ensuring accurate adjustment. The cross-sections of the inner and outer slide rails can be mutually matched T-shaped or C-shaped structures.
[0044] The insulating covering layer 4 is an elastically expandable insulating sheet. One end of the insulating covering layer 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 2 of the water cup, and the other end of the insulating covering layer 4 can elastically expand and contract along the circumference or axis of the water cup. The elastic expansion and contraction of the other end of the insulating covering layer 4 along the circumference or axis of the water cup can change the area of the inner liner 1 it covers. When the other end of the insulating covering layer 4 reaches its limit position, it can completely cover the inner liner 1 of the water cup. The adjustment switch 5 is mounted on the outer surface of the water cup shell 2 and can slide a set distance along the circumference or axis of the water cup. The water cup shell 2 has an elongated opening 10 extending along the circumference or axis of the water cup. The adjustment switch 5 has a connecting part 11, which extends through the elongated opening 10 into the inner side of the water cup shell 2 and is fixedly connected to the other end of the heat insulation layer 4. The movement of the adjustment switch 5 on the water cup shell 2 can drive the other end of the heat insulation layer 4 to move synchronously. The elastically expandable insulation sheet can be made of insulation materials that have elasticity and expansion capabilities, such as insulation cotton made of materials such as rubber foam, rubber-plastic sponge, and glass wool, which can elastically expand and contract. Alternatively, insulation materials with small elasticity and expansion capabilities can be folded and pressed to form a corrugated tube or corrugated plate structure, so that the expansion and contraction effect can be achieved by changing the folding angle, thereby changing the coverage area, such as corrugated folded insulation blankets. The long strip opening 10 on the outer shell 2 of the water cup can also be replaced with a sliding groove. The adjustment switch 5 drives the other end of the insulation covering layer 4 to move synchronously through magnetic attraction.
[0045] A rigid connecting strip 12 is fixedly provided at the other end of the thermal insulation covering layer 4. The rigid connecting strip 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 11 on the adjusting switch 5. The rigid connecting strip 12 enables the other end of the thermal insulation covering layer to maintain a certain rigidity, so that the other end moves synchronously and avoids the other end being unable to stretch synchronously due to the elasticity of the material. The rigid connecting strip 12 can be a strip, rod, or ring structure made of metal, or a strip, rod, or ring structure supported by rigid plastic. It is fixed to the other end of the thermal insulation covering layer 4 by means of heat pressing, sewing, bonding, etc.
[0046] The outer shell 2 of the water cup is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. There are two inner cup liners 1 and two lids 3. The two inner cup liners 1 are inserted into the outer shell 2 with opposite opening directions, and both ends of the outer shell 2 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the openings of the two inner cup liners 1. A cylindrical space is formed between the inner wall of the outer shell 2 and the outer walls of the two inner cup liners 1. The cylindrical insulating layer 4 can slide back and forth along the axial direction of the water cup and is accommodated within this cylindrical space. The height of the insulating layer 4 along the axial direction of the water cup is not less than one... The axial height of the inner liner 1 of the water cup is determined by the elongated groove 13 extending along the axial direction of the water cup outer shell 2. The adjustment switch 5 is slidably mounted on the elongated groove 13. One end of the adjustment switch 5 is fixedly connected to the heat insulation layer 4 by means of a connector 14 or magnetic attraction. The other end of the adjustment switch 5 protrudes from the outside of the outer shell 2 of the water cup as the operating end. Pulling the adjustment switch 5 can cause the heat insulation layer 4 to completely cover the outside of one inner liner 1 of the water cup, or not completely cover both inner liners 1 of the water cup.
[0047] This type of water bottle has two independent inner cups 1, each holding hot water independently. By changing the position of the insulation layer, one inner cup 1 can be used for rapid heat dissipation, while the other inner cup 1 keeps the water warm and slows down the heat dissipation. Alternatively, both inner cups 1 can dissipate heat simultaneously, thus ensuring that the water temperatures in the two inner cups 1 are the same or different. Users can drink from the inner cup 1 that dissipates heat faster first, followed by the inner cup 1 that dissipates heat more slowly. It can also be used by two people to drink from different inner cups 1. The insulation covering layer 4 of this scheme can be made of materials such as vacuum insulation boards pressed into rings, polyurethane foam, extruded polystyrene boards, inorganic polymer insulation boards, porous phenolic foam boards, graphite polystyrene boards, thermosetting modified polystyrene boards, polystyrene foam boards with closed-cell structures, foam glass insulation boards, fiber-reinforced composite insulation boards, foamed ceramic boards, etc. In actual selection, the choice can be made according to insulation requirements, weight requirements, manufacturing cost requirements, etc. The best choice is an insulation material that is lightweight, inexpensive, not easily deformed, and has a low coefficient of friction.
[0048] The outer shell 2 of the water cup is also provided with a switch positioning structure, which can stop the adjustment switch 5 from sliding to the designed position. The switch positioning structure can make the adjustment switch 5 stably stay in this position after adjustment, preventing the adjustment switch 5 from sliding and changing its adjustment position on its own. The switch positioning structure can be a magnet installed on the outer shell 2 and extending along the sliding direction of the adjustment switch 5, which can be attracted and positioned with a magnet or magnetic material installed on the adjustment switch 5. Alternatively, it can be a friction pad installed on the outer shell 2, which provides sliding friction for the adjustment switch 5 in close contact with it. Or, a buckle can be provided on the adjustment switch 5, and a corresponding fastener can be provided on the outer wall of the outer shell 2 along the sliding direction of the adjustment switch 5. The positioning or sliding adjustment of the adjustment switch 5 can be achieved by the buckle engaging or disengaging with the fastener. The buckle can be a spring pin, ball head, etc., and the corresponding fastener can be a slot or C-shaped buckle, etc. These are design solutions that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art based on this application, and all of them fall within the protection scope of this application.
