Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable water output cup that prevents accidental aspiration. Background Technology

[0002] Existing water cups cannot control the amount of water dispensed at one time. When feeding water to young children, disabled elderly people, or patients with difficulty swallowing, the tip of the spout (straw) is always submerged in the water in the cup, which allows water to be continuously drawn out. These groups have poor ability to actively control the amount of water they drink, which usually leads to excessive water intake at one time. Due to their limited swallowing ability, excessive water intake cannot be swallowed smoothly, which will lead to choking and potential harm. The aforementioned problem can be described as the user's accidental aspiration of water from the cup (i.e., the inability to control the amount of water inhaled at one time).

[0003] In summary, it is necessary to develop and design new types of anti-accidental water-sucking cups based on specific needs to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable water dispensing cup that prevents accidental aspiration, allowing users to adjust and set the single dispensing volume to prevent accidental aspiration.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an adjustable water output anti-accidental suction cup, including an outer cup with an outer cup connecting part at the top and a cup lid with a cup cap connecting part at the bottom. The outer cup connecting part and the cup lid connecting part are detachably connected. A cup lid protrusion is provided in the middle of the cup lid. A snap cover is hinged to the cup lid. A locking structure is provided between the front parts of the cup lid and the snap cover. An inner support with perforations is provided inside the cup lid. A rigid straw is provided in the center of the inner support. The upper end of the rigid straw is inserted into... It is equipped with a flexible mouthpiece, and a silicone adapter block with an internal channel is installed at the lower end of the rigid straw. It also includes a multi-chamber inner cup, which consists of an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. A bottom plate is provided between the bottom edges of the two. Multiple partitions are provided between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, and water storage chambers are formed between adjacent partitions. Multiple water outlets communicating with each water storage chamber are provided at the root of the inner cylinder. The adapter block is located inside the inner cylinder. When the multi-chamber inner cup is rotated, the water outlets can be aligned with the front port of the channel.

[0006] Preferably, the multi-chamber has three partitions, with the included angles between two adjacent partitions being 60°, 120°, and 180°, forming three water storage chambers of 5mL, 10mL, and 15mL.

[0007] Preferably, a groove is provided at the rear of the adapter block. When the front port of the channel is connected to a certain water outlet, the groove ensures that other water outlets are not blocked and that the water in the water storage chamber flows back to the outer cup through the water outlet.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the rigid straw is inserted into the top port of the channel of the adapter block.

[0009] Preferably, an annular inner base is provided inside the cup lid, and an annular fitting groove is provided on the inner base, with the outer edge of the inner support embedded in the fitting groove; a connecting groove is provided in the middle of the rigid straw, and a central hole is provided in the center of the inner support, with the middle of the rigid straw located in the central hole and the inner edge of the inner support embedded in the connecting groove.

[0010] Preferably, the inner cylinder of the lid is provided inside the lid and a sealing ring is provided outside the inner cylinder of the lid. When the lid is closed, the inner cylinder of the lid is inserted into the inside of the cup lid spout and the sealing ring seals the gap between the two.

[0011] Preferably, the locking structure includes a locking tongue located at the front of the cup lid and a locking buckle located at the front of the lid. When the lid is closed, the locking buckle engages with the locking tongue.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the cup lid connecting part is provided with an internal thread, the outer cup connecting part has an external thread, and the cup lid connecting part and the outer cup connecting part are threadedly connected.

[0013] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention provides an adjustable-flow anti-aspiration water cup. Compared with existing water cups, the anti-aspiration water cup of this invention features an internal support, a straw and mouthpiece assembly consisting of a rigid straw and a flexible mouthpiece, and a water intake setting component consisting of an adapter block and a multi-cavity inner cup. This achieves the technical effect of setting the single-time water intake volume. The adapter block's channel connects to the water outlet of one of the water storage chambers in the multi-cavity inner cup. Water is drawn from this water storage chamber through the straw and mouthpiece assembly, thus limiting the maximum single-time water intake volume to the capacity of that chamber. By rotating the multi-cavity inner cup to connect the channel to the water outlets of different water storage chambers, the single-time water intake volume can be adjusted, i.e., the single-time water output volume can be set. For specific groups (such as young children, disabled elderly, or patients with swallowing difficulties), controlling the single-time water intake volume can prevent choking due to excessive water intake and inability to swallow in time, thus preventing aspiration and improving safety.

[0021] To further understand the invention content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided in detail.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model discloses an adjustable water output anti-accidental aspiration water cup, comprising an outer cup 1 with an outer cup connecting part 16 at the top and a cup lid 3 with a cup lid connecting part 2 at the bottom. The outer cup connecting part 16 and the cup lid connecting part 2 are detachably connected. In this embodiment, the inner wall of the cup lid connecting part 2 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer cup connecting part 16 has an external thread. The cup lid connecting part 2 is threadedly connected to the outer cup connecting part 16. In this way, the cup lid 3 can be rotated off, and water can be poured into the outer cup 1 after the cup lid 3 is removed.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that:

[0024] A cup lid protrusion 8 is provided in the middle of the cup lid 3. A snap cover 5 is hinged to the cup lid 3 via a hinge shaft 4. A locking structure is provided between the front parts of the cup lid 3 and the snap cover 5. The snap cover 5 is used to close the upper part of the cup lid 3 and enclose the cup lid protrusion 8 inside. The locking structure is used to lock and unlock the cup lid 3 and the snap cover 5. In this embodiment, the locking structure includes a locking tongue 7 located at the front of the cup lid 3 and a locking buckle 6 located at the front of the snap cover 5. When the snap cover 5 is closed, the locking buckle 6 and the locking tongue 7 engage to lock. When it is necessary to open the snap cover 5 to expose the cup lid protrusion 8, the locking buckle 6 and the locking tongue 7 are moved to unlock.

[0025] An inner support 14 with perforations 14-1 is provided inside the cup lid 3. A rigid straw 12 is located at the center of the inner support 14, and a flexible nozzle 11 is inserted into the upper end of the rigid straw 12. Both the inner support 14 and the rigid straw 12 are made of rigid plastic, while the flexible nozzle 11 is made of silicone. As shown in the figure, the upper part of the rigid straw 12 is tilted backward, so the flexible nozzle 11 is located inside the cup lid protrusion 8. Since the flexible nozzle 11 and the rigid straw 12 are connected by an insertion joint, it can be pulled outward or inserted into the rigid straw 12 more. The flexible nozzle 11 can improve the comfort of drinking water, and the insertion joint installation method allows the flexible nozzle 11 to be replaced when it ages or breaks.

[0026] In this embodiment, a cover inner cylinder 10 is provided inside the cover 5 and a sealing ring 9 is provided outside the cover inner cylinder 10. When the cover 5 is closed, the cover inner cylinder 10 is inserted into the cup lid protrusion 8 and the sealing ring 9 seals the gap between the two. Therefore, when the cup is inverted, no water will leak out through the cover inner cylinder 10 and the cup lid protrusion 8. The sealing ring 9 is made of silicone.

[0027] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that:

[0028] A silicone adapter block 15 with an internal channel 15-1 is installed at the lower end of the rigid straw 12. It also includes a multi-chamber inner cup 17, which comprises an outer cylinder 17-1 and an inner cylinder 17-2. A bottom plate is provided between the bottom edges of the two. Multiple partitions 17-3 are provided between the outer cylinder 17-1 and the inner cylinder 17-2, forming water storage chambers between adjacent partitions 17-3. Multiple water outlet holes 17-4 communicating with each water storage chamber are provided at the root of the inner cylinder 17-2. The adapter block 15 is located inside the inner cylinder 17-2 and is elastically compressed and tensioned. When the multi-chamber inner cup 17 is rotated, the water outlet holes 17-4 can align with the front port of the channel 15-1.

[0029] When using, first invert the cup and then turn it upright. The water in the outer cup 1 will enter the water storage chamber of the multi-chamber inner cup 17. Since the channel 15-1 is connected to the water outlet 17-4 of only one of the water storage chambers, water can be drawn from the corresponding water storage chamber through the straw and nozzle assembly. Since the capacity of the water storage chamber is limited, the amount of water that can be drawn at one time is limited, preventing the problem of choking caused by excessive water intake at one time.

[0030] In this embodiment, the multi-chamber inner cup 17 has three partitions 17-3, with the included angles between adjacent partitions 17-3 being 60°, 120°, and 180°, respectively, forming three water storage chambers of 5mL, 10mL, and 15mL. During use, rotating the multi-chamber inner cup 17 establishes communication between one of the water storage chambers and the channel 15-1 of the adapter block 15. It is worth noting that this anti-aspiration water cup has three water storage chambers of different capacities. Its purpose is to provide users with three options for water output, not to precisely limit the output. In fact, transferring water from the outer cup 1 to the water storage chamber of the multi-chamber inner cup 17 by inverting and then uprighting the cup does not guarantee that the water storage chamber will be full. Furthermore, each time water is drawn, it is not guaranteed that all water in the corresponding water storage chamber will be drawn out. The significance of setting up water storage chambers is to limit the amount of water that can be drawn at one time, avoiding the potential choking problem caused by excessive water intake.

[0031] In this embodiment, a groove 15-2 is provided at the rear of the adapter block 15. When the front port of the channel 15-1 is connected to a certain water outlet 17-4, the groove 15-2 ensures that the other water outlets 17-4 are not blocked and the water in the water storage cavity flows back to the outer cup 1 through the water outlet 17-4. This can prevent water from being stored in the water storage cavity that is not currently in use.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lower end of the rigid straw 12 is inserted into the top port of the channel 15-1 of the adapter block 15, so that the adapter block 15 and the rigid straw 12 are detachable, and the adapter block 15 can be replaced when necessary (such as when the adapter block 15 ages and loses its elasticity).

[0033] In this embodiment, an annular inner base 13 is provided inside the cup lid 3, and an annular fitting groove is provided on the inner base 13. The outer edge of the inner support 14 is embedded in the fitting groove. A connecting groove is provided in the middle of the rigid straw 12, and a central hole is provided in the center of the inner support 14. The middle part of the rigid straw 12 is located in the central hole, and the inner edge of the inner support 14 is embedded in the connecting groove. In this way, the inner support 14 and its accessories can be separated from the cup lid 3. After separation, this anti-slip water cup can be used as an ordinary water cup. The rigid straw 12 and the inner support 14 can also be separated, and can be disassembled and replaced or disassembled for cleaning if necessary.

[0034] How to use:

[0035] Rotate to remove the cup lid 3, manually rotate the multi-chamber inner cup 17 so that the front port of the adapter block 15 aligns with the water outlet 17-4 of one of the water storage chambers, then fill the outer cup 1 with water, and then reinstall the cup lid 3; then first invert the cup, and then turn the cup upright. During this process, the water in the outer cup 1 is transferred to each water storage chamber of the multi-chamber inner cup 17; since the water outlet 17-4 of the water storage chamber in the non-use state is not blocked, the water in the water storage chamber flows back into the outer cup 1, while the water inside the water storage chamber connected to the adapter block 15 does not flow back into the outer cup 1;

[0036] Open the cover 5 to expose the flexible nozzle 11. The user can suck water by holding the exposed end of the flexible nozzle 11 in their mouth. The water in the water storage chamber enters the mouth through the channel 15-1 and the straw nozzle assembly until all the water in the current water storage chamber is sucked out. Then close the cover 5 and repeat the operation of inverting and uprighting the water cup. Then open the cover 5 to suck water again.

[0037] It is worth noting that when the water level in the outer cup 1 is too low, it may cause the water in the outer cup 1 to be unable to be smoothly transferred to the water storage cavity of the multi-cavity inner cup 17 by inverting and then turning the cup upright. Therefore, when it is observed through the transparent outer cup 1 that the water level inside is low, water should be added in time.
