Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water cup technology, and in particular to a light-effect cup. Background Technology

[0002] Drinking cups are essential daily necessities for people, serving as a necessity for drinking water. As people's living standards improve, their demands for drinking cups are also gradually increasing. Existing drinking cups are relatively simple in appearance and function, making it difficult to meet people's needs. Therefore, we have designed a light-effect cup that can attract attention and showcase individuality through the brightness of the cup body. In addition, the light emitted by the cup body at night or in relatively dark environments has a certain lighting function, satisfying people's diverse requirements for drinking cups and improving their quality of life. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a light-effect cup with a novel design and cool lighting effects.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model proposes a light effect cup, including an inner cup body, an outer cup body, a base for mounting the outer cup body, and a vacuum cavity sealed by the inner and outer cup bodies. A first glass tube with a sealed end is connected to the bottom of the outer cup body. The upper end of the first glass tube is connected to the vacuum cavity. A conductive electrode is installed inside the first glass tube. The upper end of the conductive electrode extends into the vacuum cavity, and the lower end of the conductive electrode extends out of the lower end of the first glass tube. A circuit board with voltage output is provided inside the base. The output end of the circuit board is connected to the conductive electrode circuit. The vacuum cavity contains ionizable gas.

[0006] Furthermore, the lower end of the first glass tube is connected to a groove for sealing, and the lower end of the conductive electrode passes through the groove.

[0007] Furthermore, a second glass tube with a sealed end is provided at the bottom of the outer cup body for drawing and filling air, and the upper end of the second glass tube is connected to the vacuum chamber.

[0008] Furthermore, the closest distance between the circuit board and the outer cup body is greater than 1.5 cm.

[0009] Furthermore, the absolute pressure within the vacuum chamber is less than 20 kPa.

[0010] Furthermore, the circuit board is connected to a power supply interface, and the base has a through hole for installing the power supply interface. The distance between the conductive part of the power supply interface and the outermost part of the through hole is greater than 2 mm.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the conductive electrode installed inside the first glass tube directly contacts the inert gas in the vacuum chamber and produces a corresponding reaction, which will cause light to be emitted inside the cup. The structure is novel, highly integrated, and the lighting effect is eye-catching and cool. It is also equipped with a power supply interface for easy charging. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides an embodiment:

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A light-effect cup includes an inner cup body 1, an outer cup body 2, a base 3 for mounting the outer cup body 2, and a vacuum chamber 4 sealed by the inner cup body 1 and the outer cup body 2. A first glass tube 5 with a sealed end is connected to the bottom of the outer cup body 2. The upper end of the first glass tube 5 is connected to the vacuum chamber 4. A conductive electrode 6 is installed inside the first glass tube 5. The upper end of the conductive electrode 6 extends into the vacuum chamber 4, and the lower end of the conductive electrode 6 extends out of the lower end of the first glass tube 5. A circuit board 7 with voltage output is installed inside the base 3. The output end of the circuit board 7 is connected to the conductive electrode 6. The vacuum chamber 4 contains an ionizable gas, such as an inert gas or nitrogen.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 The lower end of the first glass tube 5 is connected to a groove 8 for sealing, and the lower end of the conductive electrode 6 passes through the groove 8.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 The bottom of the outer cup body 2 is also provided with a second glass tube 9 for drawing and filling air, and the lower end is sealed. The upper end of the second glass tube 9 is connected to the vacuum chamber 4.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 The closest distance between the circuit board 7 and the outer cup 2 is greater than 1.5 cm.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 The absolute pressure inside vacuum chamber 4 is less than 20 kPa.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The circuit board 7 is connected to a power supply interface 11, and the base 3 has a through hole 10 for installing the power supply interface 11. The distance between the conductive part of the power supply interface 11 and the outermost part of the through hole 10 is greater than 2 mm to prevent electric shock.

[0026] Working principle: When switch 12 is pressed, current flows from the power supply battery (located next to power interface 11) into circuit board 7. The output terminal of circuit board 7 is connected to the conductive electrode 6, causing current to flow from circuit board 7 into conductive electrode 6. The upper end of conductive electrode 6 extends into the vacuum chamber 4 sealed by inner cup 1 and outer cup 2. Vacuum chamber 4 contains inert gas. When conductive electrode 6 is energized, high-energy electrons are generated that collide with inert gas atoms, causing ionization. This moves electrons in the atoms to their outer orbits, charging the gas. The charged gas is a conductor of current and is called plasma. When AC power is injected between conductive electrodes 6, the gas begins to discharge. Current passes through the plasma in the gas, generating high-energy electrons and positive ions, converting gas molecules into an excited state. After a de-excitation process, photons are emitted, producing a special spectrum of gas discharge, which generates light. The formation of the vacuum chamber and the filling of inert gas both require the use of a second glass tube. After achieving a vacuum environment with inert gas inside the chamber, the second glass tube needs to be heat-sealed, thus forming a second glass tube 9 with a lower seal. When charging is required, a Type-C interface is inserted into the through hole 10 for charging, which facilitates continued use.
