Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water cup technology, specifically a misting humidifying water cup. Background Technology

[0002] Water cups, as an indispensable item in daily life, come in a variety of designs and materials, aiming to meet people's drinking needs in different situations. As the name suggests, a water cup is a container used to hold liquids. There is a type of water cup that can both satisfy drinking needs and have a humidifying effect.

[0003] Current humidifying water cups have the following drawbacks: When hot water is poured into the cup, steam is generated. If the cup is shaken violently during movement, the internal pressure gradually increases. When the cup is inverted to allow water to enter the storage chamber, the pressure inside the cup also enters the storage chamber. When the cup is upright, the valve on the connecting tube prevents the pressure in the storage chamber from being released quickly and promptly. Furthermore, the pressure causes the valve to fit more tightly against the end of the connecting tube, preventing complete release of pressure from the storage chamber. Even when the cap is opened, the air pressure inside the water storage chamber cannot be released. This air pressure causes the gas to act on the liquid inside the water storage chamber, forcing the liquid to flow out through the micropores of the atomizing device and carry away liquid, causing the water cup to leak. If the atomizing device is opened at this time, because the liquid is flowing out of the micropores of the atomizing device and is not in a pressure-free and static state, the atomizing device cannot effectively strip water molecules, thus failing to form an atomization effect. This causes the atomizing device to malfunction and affects the user experience. Therefore, an atomizing humidifying water cup is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing water cups with humidification functions, a new type of atomizing humidifying water cup is proposed.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The atomizing humidifying water cup of this utility model includes a cup body with a cup cavity and a cup lid. The cup lid is equipped with a cap that can be opened or closed. The cup lid is also provided with a drinking spout communicating with the cup cavity. The cup lid is provided with an atomizing device and a water storage cavity corresponding to the atomizing device. The cup lid is provided with a connecting pipe that keeps the water storage cavity completely connected to the cup cavity. When the cap is closed, the mist outlet of the atomizing device is blocked and covered by the cap, and the drinking spout is sealed. When the cap is opened, the drinking spout is unsealed, thereby quickly depressurizing the water storage cavity.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting pipe is disposed within the water storage cavity, and its location within the water storage cavity includes a throttling section that prevents liquid in the water storage cavity from flowing back into the cup cavity.

[0007] Preferably, the cap is provided with a sealing plug for sealing the drinking spout.

[0008] Preferably, the sealing plug includes an embedding part that is embedded in the drinking spout and a wrapping part that wraps around the outer wall of the top of the drinking spout.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] This invention provides an atomizing humidifying water cup. Compared with the prior art, this invention omits the valve on the connecting pipe, keeping the cup cavity and the water storage cavity always connected through the connecting pipe. This allows the pressure in the water storage cavity to be completely released immediately when the cap is opened, eliminating the presence of air pressure. The liquid in the water storage cavity will not be driven into the micropores of the atomizing device by air pressure, and due to the surface tension of the liquid itself, it will not enter the micropores of the atomizing device when there is no pressure. This allows the subsequent atomizing device to properly atomize the liquid in the water storage cavity. This design allows the water cup to store drinking water at higher temperatures. Even if the pressure in the cup cavity is too high, simply opening the cap will instantly release the pressure and activate the atomizing device, resulting in a better user experience.

[0011] The cap is linked to the mist outlet and water inlet of the atomizing device. When the cap is opened, the mist outlet of the atomizing device is exposed simultaneously to activate the humidification function, and the sealing plug is removed from the water inlet to achieve rapid depressurization of the cup cavity and water storage cavity. This forces the activation of atomization to be linked to the depressurization in the cavity, ensuring that there is no high pressure in the cavity before atomization starts. This effectively avoids the failure of the atomizing device caused by high-pressure gas carrying liquid through the micropores of the atomizing device, thus improving ease of use.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-3. The atomizing humidifying water cup of this utility model includes a cup body 2 with a cup cavity 1 and a cup lid 3. A cap 4 is rotatably mounted on the cup lid 3. An atomizing device 5 and a water storage cavity 6 corresponding to the atomizing device 5 are provided on the cup lid 3. A connecting pipe 7 is provided on the cup lid 3 to connect the water storage cavity 6 and the cup cavity 1, and it includes a throttling section within the water storage cavity 6 to prevent liquid from flowing back into the cup cavity 1. The cup lid 3 also has a drinking spout 8 communicating with the cup cavity 1. When the cap 4 is opened, the drinking spout 8 is opened, rapidly depressurizing the cup cavity 1 and the water storage cavity 6. A sealing plug 9 is provided inside the cap 4 to seal the drinking spout 8. During operation, first, liquid needs to be added to the water storage cavity 6 for the atomizing device 5. Then, the cup lid 3 is closed, and the entire water cup is inverted. The liquid in the cup flows into the water storage chamber 6 through the connecting pipe 7 and is then turned over to its normal position. Because the connecting pipe 7 has a throttling section extending to a certain height into the water storage chamber 6, the liquid in the water storage chamber 6 will not completely flow back into the cup cavity 1 through the connecting pipe 7 when the cup is turned over to its normal position. When the liquid temperature in the cup cavity 1 is high, the air pressure in the cup cavity 1 and the water storage chamber 6 will gradually increase. At this time, the user opens the cap 4, and the sealing plug 9 no longer blocks the drinking spout 8. The air pressure in the cup cavity 1 is then released to the outside through the drinking spout 8, and the air pressure in the water storage chamber 6 is quickly released to the outside through the connecting pipe 7, the cup cavity 1, and the drinking spout 8, thus balancing the pressure in the water storage chamber 6 and the cup cavity 1. There is no high internal air pressure; through the design and coordination of the above-mentioned structure of this utility model, the cup cavity and water storage cavity can be quickly depressurized through the drinking spout by opening the cap, which avoids high-pressure gas pushing the liquid out of the micropores of the atomizing device and prevents water leakage from the cup. At the same time, the pressure relief structure prevents water leakage from causing the liquid to flow in the micropores of the atomizing device, thereby eliminating the hidden danger of the atomizing device not working properly.

[0021] Furthermore, when the cap 4 is closed, the mist outlet of the atomizing device 5 is covered by the cap 4. During operation, when the cap 4 is closed, its shell covers the mist outlet of the atomizing device 5, blocking the mist discharge channel. If the atomizing humidification function needs to be activated, the user must open the cap 4. This opening action simultaneously switches between two states: first, the cap 4 shell no longer blocks the mist outlet of the atomizing device 5, and the mist outlet is fully exposed to provide a channel for mist discharge; second, combined with the sealing plug 9 inside the cap 4, the sealing plug 9 is released from the drinking spout 8 as the cap 4 is opened, allowing the cup cavity 1 and the water storage cavity 6 to quickly release pressure through the drinking spout 8, forming a synchronous linkage of opening the cap → releasing pressure inside the cavity → activating the mist outlet. Through the structural principle of forced linkage pressure release, the structural design that requires the cap 4 to be opened before atomization can be used forcibly binds the activation of the atomizing device with the release of pressure inside the cavity, ensuring that the cup cavity 1 and the water storage cavity 6 have completed pressure release before atomization is started, preventing high-pressure gas from escaping from the atomizing device 5. Liquid seepage through the micropores prevents the atomizing device 5 from failing due to water droplet adhesion. Furthermore, no additional pressure relief or mist outlet opening is required; the two key preparations are completed simultaneously with a single opening action, enhancing ease of use.

[0022] Furthermore, the sealing plug 9 includes an embedding part 901 embedded in the drinking spout 8 and a wrapping part 902 that wraps around the outer wall of the top of the drinking spout 8. During operation, when the cap 4 is rotated to the closed state, the sealing plug 9 moves synchronously with the cap 4. The embedding part 901 of the sealing plug 9 will embed into the internal channel of the drinking spout 8, forming an internal blocking contact. At the same time, the wrapping part 902 will fit against the outer wall of the top of the drinking spout 8, forming an external wrapping. The two work together to keep the drinking spout 8 in a completely sealed state, blocking the cup cavity 1 from the outside. When it is necessary to release pressure or drink water, the cap 4 is rotated to open. The sealing plug 9 is removed from the drinking spout 8 along with the cap. The embedding part 901 is pulled out from the inside of the drinking spout 8. The wrapping part 902 separates from the outer wall of the drinking spout 8. The channel of the drinking spout 8 is fully opened, restoring the connection between the cup cavity 1, the water storage cavity 6 and the outside, realizing pressure release or water dispensing.

Therefore, the specific model specifications, assembly details, and material selection standards of the above components are well known to those skilled in the art and are not the innovation of this utility model.
