[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0023] The scented straw includes a tube body 100 for drinking beverages and a scent source 200 disposed on the tube body 100. The scent source 200 can be connected to the tube body 100 as a whole, or it can be removed from the tube body 100 for replacement.
[0024] The odor source 200 is provided with a storage cavity 204, and the storage cavity 204 is provided with an odor body that emits odor. The odor source 200 is provided with an air outlet 2031 that communicates with the storage cavity 204. The odor emitted by the odor body diffuses outward through the air outlet 2031.
[0025] The odorant here can be a block that emits an odor, or a cotton body soaked in an odorant liquid, etc., depending on the actual needs, and is not limited to specific items; secondly, the odor emitted by the odorant can also be selected according to the user's needs, such as fruit flavor or other specific flavors.
[0026] The aforementioned scent straw, by setting a scent source 200 on the tube body 100, emits scent through the air outlet 2031. While using the tube body 100 to drink beverages, users can simultaneously inhale the scent, greatly enhancing the user's drinking experience and meeting user needs.
[0027] For example, some users like certain smells, and when they are sipping beverages, they can also smell those specific smells, which greatly enhances the drinking experience.
[0028] In this embodiment, the odor source 200 is provided with a pipe, and the tube body 100 is inserted in the pipe. The upper part of the tube body 100 extends to one end of the odor source 200 to form a drinking section 101 for the user to drink, and the lower part of the tube body 100 extends to the other end of the odor source 200 to form a liquid-absorbing section 102 for inserting into the beverage.
[0029] By arranging pipes in the odor source 200, it is convenient to assemble and match the pipe body 100 with the odor source 200. Furthermore, by moving the pipes in the pipe body 100, the length ratio of the drinking section 101 to the liquid absorption section 102 can be adjusted accordingly.
[0030] In this embodiment, a soft rubber tube 206 made of soft rubber material is provided in the pipe. The soft rubber tube 206 is arranged coaxially with the pipe. The pipe body 100 passes through the soft rubber tube 206 and is fixed relative to the soft rubber tube 206.
[0031] By arranging the flexible rubber tube 206, the tube body 100 and the flexible rubber tube 206 can be relatively fixedly connected, keeping the tube body 100 fixedly inserted in the pipe, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the tube body 100 slides freely relative to the odor source 200 during use.
[0032] In this embodiment, the odor source 200 is provided with two storage cavities 204 as described above, and the two storage cavities 204 are respectively located on both sides of the tube 100. In this way, the odor can be emitted from both sides of the tube 100, making it easier for the user to inhale the odor while using the tube 100.
[0033] In this embodiment, the odor source 200 includes two opposing half-blocks, which enclose the aforementioned pipe. The half-blocks are provided with the aforementioned storage cavity 204 and the aforementioned vent 2031.
[0034] By arranging two half-blocks to meet, the assembly of the tube 100 and the odor source 200 is facilitated, with the two half-blocks clamping the tube 100 towards each other. The two half-blocks can be directly connected by a snap-fit structure, such as a hook embedded in a slot, or other structures can be used for connection, such as bonding or welding.
[0035] In this embodiment, each half-block has a docking plate 205, and the inner side of the docking plate 205 is provided with a groove strip 2051. The docking plates 205 of the two half-blocks are docked facing each other, and the groove strips 2051 of the two docking plates 205 enclose and form the aforementioned pipe. By arranging the docking plates 205, it is convenient to dock the two half-blocks and to form the aforementioned pipe between the two half-blocks.
[0036] In this embodiment, an inner cover 203 is provided on the outer side of the docking plate 205. The inner cover 203 and the docking plate 205 enclose a storage cavity 204, and an air vent 2031 is provided on the inner cover 203. The inner cover 203 and the docking plate 205 can be installed as one piece, or the inner cover 203 and the docking plate 205 can be detached. In this way, when the odor source 200 needs to be replaced, the storage cavity 204 can be opened to replace the odor source.
[0037] In this embodiment, an outer cover 201 that rotates relative to the inner cover 203 is fitted onto the inner cover 203, and the outer cover 201 is provided with a venting hole 202. When the outer cover 201 rotates relative to the inner cover 203 to the venting state, the venting hole 202 is connected to the venting hole 2031, and the odor source 200 is in the venting state. When the outer cover 201 rotates relative to the inner cover 203 to the closed state, the venting hole 202 and the venting hole 2031 are misaligned and separated, and the odor source 200 is in the closed state.
[0038] In this way, when the scent straw is not in use, the scent source 200 can be kept in a closed state. At this time, the air outlet 2031 and the air vent 202 are misaligned and separated, and the scent body will not emit scent outward, which can greatly save the usage time of the scent body.
[0039] When the scent straw is needed, the scent source 200 can be in the venting state, and the scent emitted by the scent source can be dispersed outward through the vent 2031 and the diffuser 202.
[0040] In this embodiment, the outer cover 201 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 202. Along the rotation trajectory of the outer cover 201 relative to the inner cover 203, the plurality of ventilation holes 202 are arranged at intervals, and the aperture of the plurality of ventilation holes 202 decreases in sequence. When the odor source 200 is in the venting state, only one ventilation hole 202 is connected to the venting hole 2031.
[0041] In this way, users can select the odor emission concentration according to their actual needs simply by rotating the outer cover 201 to connect the corresponding vent 202 with the vent 2031. The size of the vent 202 determines the connection area between it and the vent 2031, thus determining the odor emission concentration.
[0042] In this embodiment, the inner cover 203 is provided with an inner rail groove 2032, and the outer cover 201 is provided with an outer guide rail 2013. The outer guide rail 2013 is movably placed in the inner rail groove 2032, and the length of the inner rail groove 2032 is greater than the length of the outer guide rail 2013. When the outer cover 201 rotates relative to the inner cover 203, the outer guide rail 2013 moves in the inner rail groove 2032.
[0043] Since the length of the outer guide rail 2013 is shorter than the length of the inner rail groove 2032, the outer guide rail 2013 can move in the inner rail groove 2032, and when the end of the outer guide rail 2013 abuts against the end of the inner rail groove 2032, the outer cover 201 rotates to its limit position relative to the inner cover 203.
[0044] In addition, in order to realize the rotatable connection between the outer cover 201 and the inner cover 203, the inner cover 203 is provided with a protruding post 300, and the outer cover 201 is provided with a rotating hole 2011. The protruding post 300 passes through the rotating hole 2011 so that the outer cover 201 and the inner cover 203 are connected together, and the outer cover 201 can rotate relative to the inner cover 203.
[0045] To facilitate the assembly between the inner cover 203 and the outer cover 201, the inner cover 203 is provided with two protrusions 300 as described above. The two protrusions 300 are arranged facing each other at intervals. When the outer cover 201 and the inner cover 203 are assembled, the two protrusions 300 are elastically swung towards each other so that the two protrusions 300 pass through the rotating hole 2011.
[0046] After the two protrusions 300 pass through the rotating hole 2011, the two protrusions 300 separate and reset, abutting against the inner sidewall of the rotating hole 2011, which can realize the assembly of the outer cover 201 and the inner cover 203, and does not restrict the rotation between the outer cover 201 and the inner cover 203.
[0047] In this embodiment, the outer cover 201 is provided with a plurality of raised ribs 2012, which are arranged side by side, so as to facilitate the user to rotate the outer cover 201 relative to the inner cover 203.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
