Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of atomizing water cup technology, specifically a water cup with atomizing and humidifying function. 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 for holding liquids. There is a type of water cup that can both satisfy drinking needs and provide a misting and humidifying effect.

[0003] Current atomizing water cups have the following drawbacks: To ensure the water in the cup cavity flows into the water storage chamber and guarantees the normal operation of the atomizing function, users must invert the cup to replenish the water storage chamber. This inverted replenishment is not only cumbersome but also aesthetically unappealing, causing considerable inconvenience to users. Furthermore, existing atomizing water cups suffer from serious liquid leakage problems. When hot water is poured into the cup, the large amount of steam generated by the hot water causes the air pressure inside the cup cavity to rise, which is particularly pronounced when shaken vigorously. Although some products are designed with a pressure relief structure when the lid is opened, the excessively high air pressure before the lid is opened will still force the liquid inside the cup to pass through the atomizing port of the atomizer. There are several issues with existing atomizing water cups. Firstly, there's the risk of leakage. Secondly, in situations where the atomizing function is not used, if the cup is abnormally inverted in a bag or other bumpy environment, liquid can easily enter the water storage chamber. Since the user is not operating the cup at this time, the air pressure in the storage chamber cannot be effectively released, and the accumulated pressure can also cause liquid to leak from the atomizing port, contaminating surrounding items. Furthermore, the existing independent water storage chamber design of atomizing water cups also presents hygiene risks and poor atomization effects. If the water in the storage chamber is not used promptly, it can easily remain, and long-term stagnant water can easily breed bacteria, affecting hygiene and severely impacting the user experience. Therefore, this paper proposes a water cup with atomizing humidification function to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing atomizing water cups and solve the problem of liquid leakage through the atomizer due to air pressure inside the cup, which causes atomization failure and affects the user experience, a water cup with atomizing and humidifying function is proposed.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The water cup with atomizing humidification function of this utility model includes a cup body with a cup cavity and a cup lid. A water pump is provided on the cup lid, and a water suction channel is provided between the water pump and the cup cavity. An atomizer is provided on the cup lid in the path of the water suction channel, and a return channel is also included to return the water sucked in by the water pump to the cup cavity.

[0006] Preferably, it further includes a liquid chamber, which is disposed on the path of the water intake channel, and the atomizer is disposed on the liquid chamber. The liquid chamber extends into the cup cavity through a connecting tube to form a water intake channel.

[0007] Preferably, the water outlet is connected to the cup cavity through a connecting pipe to form a return flow channel.

[0008] Preferably, the water pump is fixed in the mounting cavity inside the cup lid by a mounting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the liquid cavity is open.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate can seal the opening of the liquid chamber while fixing the water pump.

[0011] Preferably, the cup lid contains a battery for powering the water pump, and also includes a charging module that extends out of the cup lid for charging the battery.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model provides a water cup with atomizing and humidifying function. Through a closed-loop water circulation structure driven by a water pump, it solves the problem of liquid leakage in existing atomizing water cups. The structure of this utility model eliminates the operation of inverting the existing atomizing water cup to replenish water. The closed-loop design of pumping water from the cup cavity to the liquid cavity and then back to the cup cavity avoids the problem of unsightly inverted operation.

[0014] Furthermore, the suction force generated by the water pump when it is working directly acts on the atomizing plate of the atomizer, so that the surface of the atomizing plate is always in a state of no outward overflow pressure. This fundamentally prevents the air pressure generated by the hot water vapor in the cup cavity from acting on the atomizing plate, and solves the problem of liquid leakage from the atomizing port caused by the air pressure in the cup cavity in existing products.

[0015] The circulating water supplied to the atomizer not only prevents bacteria from growing in the existing water storage chamber due to residual unused water, but also provides a stable and continuous liquid supply to the atomizer. Furthermore, when the water pump is turned off, its own structure can block the water circulation channel, preventing water and air pressure in the cup cavity from entering the channel and preventing water backflow. This effectively isolates the cup cavity from the channel, further enhancing the anti-leakage effect and preventing leakage when the water cup is abnormally inverted in a bag or other bumpy environment and the liquid comes into contact with the atomizer due to the inability to expel air pressure.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4The present invention discloses a water cup with atomizing humidification function, comprising a cup body 2 with a cup cavity 1 and a cup lid 3. A cap 4, which can be opened or closed, is mounted on the cup lid 3. The cap 4 is hinged to the cup lid 3 via a torsion spring. The cup lid 3 consists of an upper component 301, a middle component 302, and a lower component 303, which are connected and fixed by screws. An installation cavity 01 is formed between the upper component 301 and the middle component 302. A drinking spout 11 communicating with the cup cavity 1 is provided on the upper component 301. A sealing element, made of a soft pad, is provided inside the cap 4 to seal the drinking spout 11 when closed. A water pump 5 is provided inside the installation cavity 01. A water circulation channel 6 is provided between the water pump 5 and the cup cavity 1. The water circulation channel 6 includes a water inlet 501 of the water pump 5 and a water outlet 501 of the water pump 5. The cup cavity 1 is connected to a water intake channel 601, and a return channel 602 connects the water outlet 502 of the water pump 5 to the cup cavity 1. An atomizer 7 is provided on the cup lid 3 along the path of the water intake channel 601. The cup lid 3 also includes a liquid chamber 6011 along the path of the water intake channel 601. Both the atomizer 7 and the liquid chamber 6011 are provided on the middle component 302. The liquid chamber 6011 connects the water intake 501 to the atomizer 7. The lower component 303 is provided with a first through pipe 3031 and a second through pipe 3032. The bottom end of the liquid chamber 6011 is connected to the first through pipe 3031 through a flexible tube. The bottom end of the first through pipe 3031 is fitted with a flexible tube extending to the bottom of the cup cavity 1. The water outlet 502 is connected to the cup cavity 1 through a flexible tube provided between it and the second through pipe 3032.

[0026] Atomization Principle: When the water cup needs to achieve the atomization humidification function, there is no need to invert the cup. After the water pump 5 starts, it generates suction, drawing the liquid in the cup cavity 1 into the liquid cavity 6011 through the water inlet 501, the liquid chamber 6011 of the water flow channel 601, the hose connected to the bottom of the liquid chamber 6011, the first connecting pipe 3031, and the hose extending to the bottom of the cup cavity 1. The liquid in the liquid chamber 6011 contacts the atomizing plate of the atomizer 7 and is then drawn into it by the water inlet 501 of the water pump 5. During this process, the suction generated by the water pump 5 acts on the atomizing plate of the atomizer 7, preventing the surface of the atomizing plate from overflowing outwards. Pressure is applied to prevent liquid leakage. The atomizer 7 strips water molecules from the flowing liquid to form uniform mist particles, achieving atomization and humidification. At the same time, the water pump 5 draws the liquid into the liquid chamber 6011 and then returns it to the cup chamber 1 through the outlet 502, the hose connected to the outlet 502, and the second pipe 3032, forming a closed-loop water circulation. When the atomization function is not used, the water pump 5 is turned off, and the water circulation channel 6 is blocked. Water and air pressure in the cup chamber 1 cannot enter the channel through the water pump 5, and there will be no water backflow. The isolation between the cup chamber 1 and the channel can further prevent liquid leakage through the atomizer 7.

[0027] The closed-loop water circulation design driven by water pump 5 eliminates the need for inverting the existing atomizing cup to replenish water. The suction force generated by water pump 5 acts on the atomizing plate of atomizer 7, exerting suction only on the atomizing plate and avoiding pressure on it. This fundamentally prevents liquid leakage from the micropores of the atomizing plate due to air pressure. The circulating water continuously supplies liquid to atomizer 7, and the liquid is in a stable state without outward overflow pressure, ensuring that atomizer 7 can effectively strip water molecules to form a good atomization effect. This avoids atomizer 7 from malfunctioning due to liquid leakage or non-static state. The three-section cup lid 3 combines structural stability with easy disassembly and assembly, greatly improving the user experience.

[0028] Furthermore, the water pump 5 is fixed inside the internal mounting cavity 01 of the cup lid 3 by the mounting plate 8. The top of the liquid cavity 6011 is open. The mounting plate 8 is provided with a sealing part 801. While fixing the water pump 5, the sealing part 801 is inserted into the opening of the liquid cavity 6011 to seal it. During assembly, the water pump 5 is placed in a preset position in the mounting cavity 01, and it is fixed to the middle component 302 of the cup lid 3 by the mounting plate 8. At the same time, the sealing part 801 of the mounting plate 8 is inserted into the top opening of the liquid cavity 6011 and fits tightly against the inner wall of the opening to seal the liquid cavity 6011. The mounting plate 8 provides a stable mounting base for the water pump 5, while its sealing part 801 seals the liquid cavity 6011, simplifying the assembly process and reducing costs.

[0029] Furthermore, the cup lid 3 is provided with a battery 9 for powering the water pump 5, and a charging module 10 extending out of the cup lid 3 for charging the battery 9 is also provided; the battery 9 outputs electrical energy to the water pump 5 to drive the water pump 5 to run. When the power is insufficient, it is connected to the charging module 10 through an external charging device to replenish the power of the battery 9. After charging is completed, the device is disconnected; thus improving portability and flexibility.

[0030] Furthermore, a seal is provided between the lower component 303 and the middle component 302; when the lower component 303 and the middle component 302 are fixed by screws, the rubber ring of the seal between them is squeezed and deformed, tightly filling the gap of the mating surface, forming a sealing barrier.

[0031] Furthermore, the mist outlet of the atomizer 7 is blocked when the cap 4 is closed, and exposed when the cap 4 is open; when the atomization function is not used, the cap 4 is closed to cover the mist outlet of the atomizer 7 to prevent dust and impurities from entering the mist outlet and the atomizing plate; when the atomization function is used, the cap 4 is opened, the mist outlet is exposed, and the mist particles generated by the atomizer 7 are discharged through the mist outlet to achieve humidification; the cap 4 of the above structure has the dual functions of sealing the drinking spout 11 and blocking the mist outlet, simplifying the structure of the cup lid 3 and reducing costs.

[0032] Furthermore, the cup lid 3 is equipped with a control panel 12 and a button 13. The control panel 12 is connected by wires and can be used to control the operation of the water pump 5 and the atomizer 7. The button 13 is used to link the switch on the control panel 12 to turn the water pump 5 and the atomizer 7 on and off. At the same time, the latch 14 on the button 13 can open the cap 4 when pressed. The button 13 can be elastically reset by a spring. When the atomization and humidification function is needed, a pressing force is applied to the button 13, and the button 13 moves into the cup lid 3. The latch 14 at its front end separates from the latching part on the cap 4, and the cap 4 rotates around the torsion spring to open, exposing the cap 4. The water outlet 11 and the mist outlet of the atomizer 7 are connected. If the button 13 is pressed again, its travel distance is increased, triggering the corresponding contact switch on the control board 12. The control board 12 sends a start signal to the water pump 5 and the atomizer 7 through the wire. The water pump 5 starts to form a water circulation, and the atomizer 7 works synchronously to produce mist particles. After the button 13 is released, the button 13 returns to its initial position under the elastic reset force of the spring. When it is necessary to turn off the atomization function, the button 13 is pressed again. After receiving the signal, the control board 12 cuts off the power supply to the water pump 5 and the atomizer 7, and both stop working. The button 13 resets under the action of the spring.

[0033] Furthermore, the cup lid 3 is provided with a temperature control contact connected to the control board 12. The control board 12 is provided with a display 16 that displays the temperature monitored by the temperature control contact, and a proximity sensor switch 17 for controlling the display 16 to turn on. The temperature control contact extends into the cup cavity 1 to sense the temperature of the liquid in the cup cavity 1 in real time and converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control board 12. After receiving the signal, the control board 12 processes the data, and the display 16 displays the temperature data intuitively in the form of numbers or icons. When the user's hand approaches the sensing area of ​​the proximity sensor switch 17 on the cup lid 3, the proximity sensor switch 17 triggers a signal and transmits it to the control board 12. The control board 12 controls the display 16 to turn on so that the user can easily check the temperature. When the hand leaves the sensing area for a period of time, the proximity sensor switch 17 sends a signal again, and the control board 12 drives the display 16 to turn off, reducing the power consumption of the battery 9.

[0034] Furthermore, a safety lock 18 is slidably provided on the cup lid 3, which can engage and disengage with the button 13 to lock the button 13. When the cup is idle or being carried, the safety lock 18 is pushed along the sliding rail of the cup lid 3, so that the latching structure of the safety lock 18 engages with the corresponding latching part of the button 13. At this time, the button 13 is limited by the safety lock 18 and cannot be pressed down, thus preventing the cap 4 from unlocking and the water pump 5 and atomizer 7 from starting. When the drinking or atomizing function of the cup needs to be used, the safety lock 18 is slid in the opposite direction, so that the latching structure of the safety lock 18 disengages from the latching structure of the button 13, releasing the locking restriction on the button 13. The button 13 can then be pressed normally, enabling subsequent opening of the lid and starting of the device, thus improving the reliability of the product.
