Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermos cup technology, and in particular to a heatable cup lid and a thermos cup. Background Technology
[0002] Many insulated water bottles on the market are powered by electricity, often using a three-phase AC high-power plug or a built-in lithium battery. They integrate a heating plate and various components inside the bottom. Since the bottle body is made of metal, a leak in these components could result in a voltage high enough to cause injury or death. Furthermore, lithium batteries pose a safety risk when exposed to high temperatures for extended periods.
[0003] Because the components, leads, and plugs are relatively large, they take up space at the bottom of the inner liner, reducing the actual usable capacity of the thermos and making it larger, heavier, and less portable. The bottom of the thermos is also relatively light, resulting in poor overall stability and making it easy to tip over. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heatable cup lid and a thermos cup to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0025] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the heatable cup lid of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the welding groove in this utility model; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 2 The image shows a preferred embodiment of a heatable cup lid, comprising a stopper 1, an inner stopper 2, a heating element 3, a temperature control mold assembly 4, and a top cover 5. The top cover 5 is located at the upper end of the stopper 1. The temperature control mold assembly 4 is disposed within the cavity formed between the stopper 1 and the top cover 5. The inner stopper 2 is installed at the lower end of the stopper 1. The heating element 3 is installed within the cavity formed between the inner stopper 2 and the stopper 1. The heating element 3 is connected to the temperature control mold assembly 4. In this embodiment, see [reference needed]. Figure 1 As shown, the inner plug 2 is made of stainless steel. The inner plug 2 is fastened to the lower end of the plug body 1, forming a cavity between the inner plug 2 and the plug body 1. The lower inner wall of the inner plug 2 has a gap of more than 6mm with the lower end of the plug body 1 to prevent the heating component 3 from directly contacting the plug body 1, which would cause the generated heat to directly contact the plug body 1 and thus damage the plug body 1.
[0026] The heating element 3 is an electric heating wire heating plate, which is welded to the lower inner wall of the inner plug 2. The heating wire heating plate is made of lightweight materials such as aluminum to reduce product weight and facilitate portability. There is a gap between the heating wire heating plate and the plug body 1. The temperature control module 4 includes a PLC controller and a sensor probe. The sensor probe and the electric heating wire heating plate are connected to the PLC controller. The sensor probe detects the water level inside the cup. When the cup body 14 is inverted, the water inside the cup body 14 submerges the sensor probe, which then generates a signal that is transmitted to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then controls the electric heating wire heating plate to operate. The sensor probe is located at the bottom of the inner plug 2 and is connected to the PLC controller via a wire that passes through the inner plug 2. The connection between the wire and the inner plug 2 is waterproofed. The sensor probe can be a water-immersible sensor probe.
[0027] In this embodiment, the upper cover 5 may be equipped with a touch display control screen, which is connected to a PLC controller. The heating temperature or heating temperature range of the heating element can be preset via the touch display control screen, facilitating the control of the internal temperature of the cup body 14 within a reasonable range. From a safety and practicality perspective, the temperature control module assembly 4 is set to 55℃, ensuring immediate drinking.
[0028] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes a polystyrene module 6. The polystyrene module 6 is disposed within the cavity formed by the upper cover 5 and the plug body 1, and is located on one side of the temperature control module assembly 4. The polystyrene module 6 is block-shaped and can play an auxiliary role in heat preservation, while also providing heat insulation to prevent heat loss from the top of the plug body 1 during the heating process of the heating element.
[0029] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the upper cover 5 is welded to the upper surface of the plug 1, specifically using ultrasonic hot melt welding. The upper end of the plug 1 is provided with a welding groove 7, which includes a first trapezoidal groove 8 and two second trapezoidal grooves 9. One second trapezoidal groove 9 is located inside the other second trapezoidal groove 9, and the first trapezoidal groove 8 is located between and communicates with the two second trapezoidal grooves 9. The lower surface of the upper cover 5 is provided with welding ribs that cooperate with the first trapezoidal groove 8. The width of the first trapezoidal groove 8 is greater than the width of the second trapezoidal groove 9. During ultrasonic hot melt welding, the welding ribs at the bottom of the upper cover 5 vibrate and melt, and under pressure, excess molten material flows into the two second trapezoidal grooves 9, increasing the molten welding surface and improving welding strength and firmness. One side cross-section of both the first trapezoidal groove 8 and the second trapezoidal groove 9 has a trapezoidal structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The height of the upper surface of the first trapezoidal groove 8 and the second trapezoidal groove 9 is lower than the height of the upper surface of the plug 1. The first trapezoidal groove 8 and the second trapezoidal groove 9 are both distributed in a shape on the upper end of the plug body 1.
[0030] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes a Type-C female connector 10. A mounting hole is provided on one side of the plug body 1, and the Type-C female connector 10 is disposed within the mounting hole. The Type-C female connector 10, the heating element 3, and the temperature control module assembly 4 are connected by a lead wire 11. The Type-C female connector 10 is selected to have a waterproof rating. The pins of the Type-C female connector 10 are sealed and fixed to the plug body 1, and the periphery is sealed with an airtight adhesive. The lead wire 11 is a conductive wire used to provide electrical power.
[0031] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the inner plug 2 is generally arranged in an "arch" shape, and a slot 12 for installing the inner plug 2 is provided at the lower end of the plug body 1. See also Figure 1 As shown, the cross-section of the inner plug 2 refers to its longitudinal section. The overall cross-section of the inner plug 2 is shaped like an "arch" after being rotated 90° counterclockwise. The upper end of the inner plug 2 is located within the slot 12 and is press-fitted with the slot 12. The inner plug 2 is made of stainless steel. The press-fit between the upper end of the inner plug 2 and the slot 12 inside the plug body 1 prevents the inner plug 2 from rotating and affecting the overall integrity.
[0032] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, a silicone ring 13 is also included. The silicone ring 13 is disposed inside the upper end of the inner plug 2, and can be securely fitted inside the upper end of the inner plug 2, preventing it from easily falling off. The silicone ring 13 is used to engage with the opening at the upper end of the cup body 14 to prevent water leakage from inside the cup body 14.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the scope of protection and implementation of the present utility model. Based on the above embodiments, the present utility model also has the following embodiments:
[0034] See Figure 3 As shown, a thermos cup is provided, including a heatable lid and a cup body 14. The lid is located at the upper end of the cup body 14. The cup body 14 and the inner plug 2 can be threaded or screwed together. The cup body 14 is a vacuum thermos cup, which can lock in the water temperature for a long time. The temperature control module assembly 4 is lightweight and fixed inside the lid, without affecting the capacity of the inner liner of the cup body 14.
[0035] When heating the water inside the cup body 14 is required, the heating temperature of the heating element 3 can be pre-input via the touch display control screen. The thermos is then placed upside down, with the lid facing down and the cup body 14 facing up. When the sensor probe touches the water, it transmits a signal to the PLC controller. The PLC controller then automatically activates the heating element 3 to heat the water inside the cup body 14. Once the preset temperature is reached, the PLC controller automatically stops the heating element 3. A temperature sensor can be installed at the bottom of the inner plug 2 to detect the temperature inside the cup body 14. This temperature sensor is connected to the PLC controller. When the temperature reaches the preset value, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the PLC controller, which then stops the heating element 3 from operating.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
