[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a self-heating teacup includes a teacup body 1, a lid 2 at the top of the teacup body 1, and a heating mechanism 3 at the bottom of the teacup body 1. The heating mechanism 3 includes a base 31 at the bottom of the teacup body 1, a connecting tube 32 at the center of the base 31, a connecting groove 11 at the bottom of the teacup body 1 that matches the connecting tube 32, an internal thread on the top inner wall of the connecting groove 11, and an external thread on the top outer wall of the connecting tube 32. The connecting tube 32 is inserted into the connecting groove 11 and threadedly connected thereto.

[0022] This utility model proposes a self-heating teacup. The teacup body 1 is the main water container of the self-heating teacup, used to hold tea and other beverages. The lid 2 is located at the top of the teacup body 1, serving to seal the teacup body 1 and prevent tea from spilling and external dust and other impurities from entering the teacup. The heating mechanism 3 is located at the bottom of the teacup body 1, used to heat the tea inside the teacup body 1.

[0023] The base 31 serves as the support for the heating mechanism 3, located at the bottom of the teacup body 1, providing a stable foundation for its placement. The connecting pipe 32, positioned at the center of the base 31, is a key component connecting the teacup body 1 and the heating mechanism 3. The connecting groove 11, located at the bottom of the teacup body 1, matches the connecting pipe 32. The inner top wall of the connecting groove 11 has internal threads for threaded connection with the connecting pipe 32. The outer top wall of the connecting pipe 32 has external threads, which, through engagement with the internal threads on the inner top wall of the connecting groove 11, allow the connecting pipe 32 to be inserted into the connecting groove 11 and threadedly connected, thus tightly connecting the teacup body 1 and the heating mechanism 3 together.

[0024] The self-heating teacup heats the tea inside the teacup body 1 using the heating mechanism 3. During assembly, the connecting tube 32 of the heating mechanism 3 is aligned with the connecting groove 11 at the bottom of the teacup body 1. By rotating the base 31, the external thread at the top of the connecting tube 32 engages with the internal thread on the inner wall of the top of the connecting groove 11, and is gradually screwed into the connecting groove 11 until a secure connection is achieved, thus realizing a stable connection between the teacup body 1 and the heating mechanism 3.

[0025] When heating is required, the heating mechanism 3 starts working, and heat is transferred to the teacup body 1 through the base 31 and the connecting part, thereby heating the tea inside the teacup body 1 to achieve the purpose of raising the temperature of the tea. When heating is not required, the connecting pipe 32 can be separated from the connecting groove 11 by rotating the base 31 in the opposite direction, thereby separating the teacup body 1 from the heating mechanism 3.

[0026] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the inside of the cup lid 2 is provided with a placement slot 21 for placing tea bags, and the center of the cup lid 2 is provided with a vent hole 22, which is connected to the top hole of the connecting tube 32. The diameter of the vent hole 22 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting tube 32.

[0027] Specifically, the placement slot 21 is located inside the cup lid 2 and is specifically designed for placing tea bags. Users can place tea bags into the placement slot 21 to ensure that the tea bags are in full contact with the water in the teacup during tea brewing. At the same time, the tea bags are confined within the placement slot 21 and are not easily moved, making the tea brewing process neater and more orderly.

[0028] A vent 22 is located at the center of the cup lid 2. The vent 22 is connected to the top hole of the connecting tube 32, forming a gas flow channel between the inside of the teacup and the heating mechanism connected to the connecting tube 32. The diameter of the vent 22 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting tube 32.

[0029] When using this teacup to brew tea, the user places the tea bag into the slot 21 inside the lid 2, and then places the lid 2 onto the teacup body. During the brewing process, as hot water is poured in and the heating mechanism 3 operates, some water vapor and pressure changes are generated inside the teacup.

[0030] Since the vent 22 is connected to the top hole of the connecting tube 32, the water vapor inside the teacup can enter the connecting tube 32 through the vent 22 and then be discharged to the outside of the teacup. This can prevent the pressure inside the teacup from becoming too high due to the accumulation of water vapor, and prevent the lid 2 from being lifted or other abnormal situations from occurring in the teacup.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a sealing block 4 is provided at the top center of the cup lid 2, and the bottom of the sealing block 4 is embedded inside the vent hole 22 and seals it.

[0032] Specifically, the vent 22 is located at the center of the cup lid 2 and communicates with the top hole of the connecting tube 32, serving as a channel for gas flow between the inside of the teacup and the connecting tube 32. The sealing block 4 is located at the top center of the cup lid 2.

[0033] The bottom of the sealing block 4 is embedded inside the vent hole 22. This embedded structure design allows the sealing block 4 to be tightly connected with the vent hole 22, thereby achieving a seal on the vent hole 22.

[0034] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 31 and the connecting pipe 32 are integrally formed hollow structures, and a heating pack is installed inside the base 31 and the connecting pipe 32.

[0035] Specifically, the base 31 and the connecting tube 32 form a single unit, manufactured using an integral molding process. This makes the connection between the base 31 and the connecting tube 32 more stable, resulting in higher structural strength and reducing the likelihood of loosening or separation. Furthermore, the entire structure is hollow, providing space for the internal placement of the heating pack.

[0036] The base 31 is the basic support part of the heating structure. It is in direct contact with the bottom of the teacup body 1 and plays a role in stabilizing and supporting the heating mechanism and the entire heating part of the teacup, ensuring that the heating mechanism can be placed stably under the teacup body 1.

[0037] The connecting pipe 32 is located at the center of the base 31, and its top is connected to the connecting groove 11 at the bottom of the teacup body 1 by a thread, thereby achieving a tight connection between the heating mechanism and the teacup body, so that the heat generated by the heating mechanism 3 can be effectively transferred to the teacup body 1.

[0038] The heating element is housed inside the hollow structure formed by the base 31 and the connecting pipe 32. The heating element is a key component for generating heat; it is typically composed of specific chemical substances or heating materials that can undergo chemical reactions or physical changes under specific conditions to release heat.

[0039] When the self-heating teacup needs to be used to heat tea, the heating pack begins to function. Since the heating pack is located inside the hollow structure of the base 31 and the connecting tube 32, when the heating process is started (for example, by triggering the reaction conditions inside the heating pack, such as tearing open the sealed packaging to expose the chemical substances to air), the chemical substances inside the heating pack will undergo chemical reactions (such as oxidation reactions) or physical changes (such as phase changes that are endothermic or exothermic), releasing a large amount of heat in the process.

[0040] The heat is first transferred to the base 31, which, as the part in direct contact with the bottom of the teacup body 1, transfers the heat to the bottom of the teacup body 1. Simultaneously, because the connecting pipe 32 is tightly connected to the bottom of the teacup body 1, heat is also transferred upwards through the connecting pipe 32, further transferring heat into the teacup body 1, thereby heating the tea inside. As the heating pack continues to react, the temperature of the tea inside the teacup gradually rises to the user's desired temperature, satisfying the user's need to drink hot tea at any time.

[0041] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a partition 12 is provided on the top of the teacup body 1, and a tea-drinking spout 13 is provided on the partition 12.

[0042] Specifically, the partition 12 is located at the top of the teacup body 1. The partition 12 divides the top space of the teacup body 1 to a certain extent and is integrally molded with the teacup body 1 to ensure the stability and airtightness of the structure.

[0043] The partition 12 can prevent tea from splashing out of the teacup due to shaking, providing a certain degree of protection. It can also reduce heat loss to some extent, helping to maintain the temperature of the tea.

[0044] The tea-drinking spout 13 is located on the partition 12. The size and shape of the tea-drinking spout 13 can be determined according to actual design requirements. It is generally designed to be convenient for users to drink tea, such as round or oval. Its size should be large enough for users to drink tea smoothly, but it should not be too large to avoid affecting the function of the partition 12 in preventing tea from splashing out.

[0045] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the placement slot 21 and the tea drinking spout 13 have a 120° fan-shaped opening.

[0046] Specifically, the placement slot 21 is located inside the cup lid 2, and its shape is a 120° fan-shaped opening. This fan-shaped opening design allows the placement slot 21 to occupy a certain space inside the cup lid 2, and the opening direction and angle are specific. The fan-shaped opening makes it convenient for users to put the tea bag in, and at the same time, it also plays a certain role in limiting the tea bag, preventing the tea bag from moving around during the tea brewing process.

[0047] The tea-drinking spout 13 is located on the partition 12 and is also a 120° fan-shaped opening. The fan-shaped shape of the tea-drinking spout 13 is similar to that of the placement slot 21, and is composed of a specific arc and central angle.

[0048] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing block 4 includes a fixing seat 41, a semi-circular handle 42 is provided on the top of the fixing seat 41, a fixing block 43 is provided on the bottom of the fixing seat 41, and a fixing hook for connecting the heating pack is provided at the bottom center of the fixing block 43.

[0049] Specifically, the fixing seat 41 is the main body of the sealing block 4, which plays the role of supporting and connecting other components. It can withstand a certain amount of external force without deformation or damage, thus ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the sealing block 4.

[0050] A semi-circular handle 42 is located on the top of the fixing base 41, making it convenient for the user to hold and operate. The user can easily remove or insert the sealing block 4 from the vent by holding the semi-circular handle 42, improving the convenience of use.

[0051] The fixing block 43 is located at the bottom of the fixing seat 41 and is tightly connected to the fixing seat 41, together forming the bottom structure of the sealing block 4. The shape and size of the fixing block 43 match the vent hole 22 and can be embedded in the vent hole 22 to achieve sealing of the vent hole 22.

[0052] The fixing hook is located at the bottom center of the fixing block 43. The fixing hook has a certain strength and toughness, and can firmly connect the heating pack. Its shape and structural design allow the heating pack to be easily hung on it, and it can remain stable during the heating process without easily falling off.

[0053] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the heating pack is covered with a waterproof membrane, and a thin rope is connected to the outer wall of the waterproof membrane. The outer end of the thin rope is fixedly installed on a fixed hook.

[0054] Specifically, the heating pack is the core component used to generate heat. It is usually composed of specific chemical substances or heating materials that can undergo chemical reactions or physical changes under specific conditions, thereby releasing a large amount of heat to provide heating energy for the tea in the teacup.

[0055] A waterproof membrane tightly covers the outer perimeter of the heating pack. This membrane effectively prevents external moisture from entering the heating pack, avoiding premature reactions or deterioration of the chemicals inside due to moisture, which could affect heating efficiency and safety. Simultaneously, the membrane also helps prevent leakage of substances from the heating pack, thus preventing contamination of the teacup. A thin rope is attached to the outer wall of the waterproof membrane. This rope possesses a certain degree of flexibility and strength, capable of withstanding a certain amount of tension without easily breaking. Its length and thickness can be determined according to actual design requirements, ensuring convenient connection to the fixing hook without being excessively long and compromising the overall structural compactness.

[0056] The fixing hook is located at the center of the bottom of the fixing block 43 of the sealing block 4. The fixing hook provides a reliable connection point for the string, allowing the string to be firmly fixed thereto, thereby suspending the heating pack covered with the waterproof membrane and keeping the heating pack in a stable position inside the teacup.

[0057] When installing the heating pack into the teacup, first wrap it with a waterproof membrane, then secure the outer end of the thin rope attached to the outer wall of the membrane to a fixed hook. This way, the heating pack is stably suspended in a suitable position inside the teacup via the rope and the hook, preventing it from swaying and ensuring the stability and safety of the heating process.

[0058] When the heating pack needs to be used to heat the tea in the teacup, the user can pull the sealing block 4 to tear the waterproof membrane on the outer layer of the heating pack. The chemical substances inside the heating pack begin to undergo a chemical reaction or physical change, releasing a large amount of heat and transferring it to the tea in the teacup, thus heating the tea.

[0059] This invention represents a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but its scope of protection is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this invention, shall be covered within the scope of protection of this invention.
