Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermos cup technology, and in particular to a novel thermos cup with tea-water separation. Background Technology

[0002] A thermos is a cup that can keep water warm. It is usually made of ceramic or stainless steel with a vacuum layer. It has a lid on top that is tightly sealed. The vacuum insulation layer can slow down the heat dissipation of the water or other liquids inside, so as to achieve the purpose of keeping the water warm.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN212015234U, which discloses a novel tea-water separation cooling and insulated cup. The cup includes a cup body and a lid. The cup body, from the outside in, comprises an outer shell, a double-layered shell, and an inner liner. A vacuum layer is formed between the outer shell and the double-layered shell, and a phase change material layer is filled between the double-layered shell and the inner liner. A connector A is threadedly installed at the opening of the cup body, and a connector B is threadedly installed at the opening of the lid. Connector B and connector A are engaged and can rotate relative to each other. A separation plate A is provided on connector A, and a separation plate B is provided on connector B. The separation plates A and B cooperate to control the flow of water. This novel tea-water separation cooling and insulated cup solves the problems of tea brewing temperature, tea tasting temperature, and tea-water separation.

[0004] The aforementioned patent specification mentions that "the lowerly configured separating plates A8 and B9 are driven to rotate by connectors A6 and B7 respectively. When the openings on separating plates A8 and B9 overlap vertically, tea and water flow are achieved. When the openings on separating plates A8 and B9 do not overlap vertically, water flow is blocked. Separating plates A8 and B9 are equivalent to a tea-water separation switch." Although the above can achieve tea-water separation, the rigid connection between the inner liner and the outer shell during use makes the device prone to damage to the glass of the inner liner when subjected to impact. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a novel tea-water separation thermos cup, which aims to improve the problem that some existing devices using rigid connections are prone to damage when subjected to impact.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel tea-water separation insulated cup includes an outer cup shell. A buffer mechanism is provided on the bottom inner wall of the outer cup shell. An outer cup lid is threadedly connected to the top of the outer cup shell. A stainless steel inner liner is fixedly connected to the outside of the buffer mechanism. A transparent glass is fixedly connected to the top of the stainless steel inner liner. The mouth of the inner liner is fixedly connected to the top of the transparent glass. A tea bag mechanism is threadedly connected to the outside of the mouth of the inner liner. The buffer mechanism includes a sleeve. The bottom of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the outer cup shell. An elastic component, including a spring, is provided inside the sleeve. The bottom of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve. An elastic pad is provided at the top of the spring, and a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the elastic pad.

[0008] The above design features a spring fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve at its bottom, and a sliding rod connected to the top of the spring via an elastic washer. This provides cushioning and protection for the stainless steel inner liner, reducing damage to the thermos from vibrations. The outer lid is threaded onto the top of the outer shell for easy opening and sealing. A transparent glass panel connects to the top of the stainless steel inner liner, and a tea bag mechanism is threaded onto the outer edge of the inner liner's opening, enabling tea and water separation for user convenience. The transparent glass also allows for easy observation of the tea and water levels inside. The overall design is both practical and convenient.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The tea bag mechanism includes an inner cup lid, with a water-blocking cylinder slidably connected inside the inner cup lid, and a rotation limit block rotatably connected to the top of the outer cup shell.

[0011] The above solution involves a tea bag mechanism with a sliding water-blocking cylinder inside the inner cup lid. The sliding of the water-blocking cylinder allows for flexible control of the separation and mixing of tea and water, meeting different user needs and increasing ease of use. Meanwhile, a rotating limiting block connected to the top of the outer cup shell can limit the movement of related components.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The elastic pad is externally slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve, and the slide rod is externally slidably connected to the top of the sleeve.

[0014] With the above solution, the elastic pad in the buffer mechanism can slide smoothly inside the sleeve, and the slide rod can slide flexibly at the top of the sleeve. This design brings many benefits. The sliding cooperation of the elastic pad allows the elastic potential energy of the spring to be effectively converted into a buffering force on the stainless steel inner liner, evenly dispersing the impact force and reducing the risk of damage to the inner liner due to vibration or collision.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The stainless steel inner liner is fixedly connected to the outside of a locking block, and the inside of the outer cup shell is provided with a limiting groove. The locking block is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove.

[0017] The above solution, which uses a locking block fixed to the outside of the stainless steel inner liner to cooperate with a limiting groove inside the outer cup shell, has significant beneficial effects. The locking block can slide within the limiting groove, which can accurately limit the position of the stainless steel inner liner inside the outer cup shell, preventing it from shaking or shifting during daily use and ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the thermos.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The top of the water-blocking cylinder is slidably connected to a tea storage bag, the outside of which is provided with a notch, and the outside of the rotating limiting block is engaged with the outside of the tea storage bag.

[0020] The above solution allows for the sliding connection of a tea storage bag to the top of the water-blocking cylinder. This design enables flexible adjustment of the tea storage bag's position, allowing users to control the steeping level of the tea according to their needs. The notch on the outside of the tea storage bag provides a channel for the tea to flow out, thus effectively separating the tea from the water.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] The top of the tea storage bag is threadedly connected to a removable tea lid, and the top of the removable tea lid is rotatably connected to a rotary button.

[0023] The above solution features a threaded, detachable tea cap on the top of the tea storage bag, which greatly facilitates users in adding or replacing tea. Users can easily unscrew the cap and fill the bag with tea as needed, effectively ensuring the freshness and variety of tea options. The rotating button on the top of the detachable tea cap further optimizes the user experience.

[0024] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0025] The interior of the tea storage bag is provided with a sliding groove, and a rotary button is slidably connected within the sliding groove of the tea storage bag.

[0026] The above solution utilizes a sliding groove inside the tea storage bag that is connected to a rotary button. This connection plays a crucial role, allowing the rotary button to slide within the groove. This enables users to flexibly adjust the position of the rotary button and precisely control the opening and closing of the tea storage bag. This design allows users to freely control the contact between the tea leaves and water according to their actual needs when brewing tea, thereby producing a tea soup that suits their personal taste.

[0027] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0028] A water-blocking cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotary button, a bottom water inlet is opened on the bottom half of the tea storage bag, and a semi-circular hole is opened at the bottom of the water-blocking cylinder.

[0029] The above solution involves a fixed connection between the bottom of the rotary button and the water-retaining cylinder, allowing precise movement of the water-retaining cylinder when the rotary button is operated. The bottom water inlet on one half of the bottom of the tea storage bag cleverly cooperates with the semi-circular hole at the bottom of the water-retaining cylinder. When the rotary button is turned, it moves the water-retaining cylinder. By adjusting the relative position of the semi-circular hole and the bottom water inlet, the flow rate and speed of water entering the tea storage bag can be flexibly controlled. This allows users to easily adjust the tea brewing process according to factors such as the type of tea and personal taste preferences.

[0030] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. In this utility model, a bottom buffer mechanism is provided between the inner liner and the outer shell, so that the device will not be subjected to hard impact force in the longitudinal direction during the impact process, thereby causing damage to the glass on the inner liner.

[0032] 2. In this utility model, a rotating button is provided in the tea bag mechanism. The water-blocking cylinder can be moved by rotating the button. During the movement of the water-blocking cylinder, the semi-circular hole at the bottom will store the multiple bottom water inlets at the bottom of the tea bag. When they overlap, the water can be controlled to contact the tea leaves. When they are staggered, the tea and water can be disconnected. Attached Figure Description

[0041] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel tea-water separation thermos cup, comprising an outer cup shell 1, a buffer mechanism 3 provided on the bottom side of the inner wall of the outer cup shell 1, an outer cup lid 2 threadedly connected to the top of the outer cup shell 1, a stainless steel inner liner 4 fixedly connected to the outside of the buffer mechanism 3, a transparent glass 5 fixedly connected to the top of the stainless steel inner liner 4, an inner liner cup mouth 6 fixedly connected to the top of the transparent glass 5, a tea bag mechanism 7 threadedly connected to the outside of the inner liner cup mouth 6, the buffer mechanism 3 including a sleeve 301, the bottom of the sleeve 301 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the outer cup shell 1, and an elastic assembly provided inside the sleeve 301. Component 303, the elastic component 303 includes a spring 30301, the bottom of the spring 30301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 301, the top of the spring 30301 is provided with an elastic pad 30302, the top of the elastic pad 30302 is fixedly connected to a slide rod 302, the outer side of the elastic pad 30302 is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve 301, the outer side of the slide rod 302 is slidably connected to the top of the sleeve 301, the outer side of the stainless steel inner liner 4 is fixedly connected to a locking block 304, the inner side of the outer cup shell 1 is provided with a limiting groove 305, and the outer side of the locking block 304 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 305.

[0043] Specifically, the outer cup shell 1 is threadedly connected to the outer cup lid 2 for easy opening, closing, and sealing. The buffer mechanism 3 on the bottom side of the inner wall consists of a sleeve 301 and an elastic component 303 (including a spring 30301, an elastic washer 30302, and a slide rod 302). The elastic washer 30302 can slide inside the sleeve 301, and the slide rod 302 can slide at the top of the sleeve 301. The spring 30301, through the elastic washer 30302 and the slide rod 302, can effectively buffer and reduce damage to the stainless steel inner liner 4 caused by vibration or impact. To extend the lifespan of the thermos, the locking block 304 on the outside of the stainless steel inner liner 4 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 305 inside the outer cup shell 1. This ensures the stability of the inner liner's position within the cup shell, preventing it from shaking or shifting, and also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the inner liner for easy cleaning and maintenance. In addition, the top of the stainless steel inner liner 4 is sequentially connected to a transparent glass 5 and an inner liner cup mouth 6. The inner liner cup mouth 6 is externally threaded to a tea bag mechanism 7. The transparent glass 5 allows for easy observation of the tea inside. The overall design is practical and convenient, enhancing the user experience.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The tea bag mechanism 7 includes an inner cup lid 701, a water baffle 705 slidably connected inside the inner cup lid 701, a rotation limit block 702 rotatably connected to the top of the outer cup shell 1, a tea storage bag 703 slidably connected to the top of the water baffle 705, a notch provided on the outside of the tea storage bag 703, the outside of the rotation limit block 702 engaging with the outside of the tea storage bag 703, a detachable tea cover 707 threadedly connected to the top of the tea storage bag 703, a rotary button 708 rotatably connected to the top of the detachable tea cover 707, a groove provided inside the tea storage bag 703, a rotary button 709 slidably connected in the groove of the tea storage bag 703, a water baffle 705 fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotary button 709, a bottom water inlet 704 opened on the bottom half of the tea storage bag 703, and a semi-circular hole 706 opened on the bottom of the water baffle 705.

[0045] Specifically, the inner cup lid 701 has a sliding connection to a water-retaining cylinder 705, which allows for flexible control of the separation and mixing of tea and water. The top of the outer cup shell 1 has a rotating limiting block 702 that engages with the outside of the tea storage bag 703, which not only fixes the tea storage bag 703 and prevents it from shaking or shifting during use, but also allows for convenient operation through rotation. The top of the tea storage bag 703 has a threaded connection to a detachable tea leaf cover 707, which facilitates adding and replacing tea leaves. The rotating button 708 connected to the top of the cover makes operation more effortless and precise. The internal slide of the tea storage bag 703 is slidably connected to the rotating button 709, which allows the rotating button 709 to precisely control the movement of the water-retaining cylinder 705. The semi-circular hole 706 at the bottom of the water-retaining cylinder 705 cooperates with the bottom water inlet 704 on the bottom half of the tea storage bag 703, allowing the user to adjust the flow rate and speed of water entering the tea storage bag 703 by rotating the button 709, greatly improving the convenience and personalized experience of tea brewing.

[0046] Working principle: When the teacup is hit, the elastic pad 30302 connected to the slide rod 302 at the bottom of the stainless steel inner liner 4 slides inside the sleeve 301. With the help of the spring 30301, the impact is buffered by its own elastic compression and expansion. At the same time, when the stainless steel inner liner 4 shakes, the locking block 304 slides inside the limiting groove 305 to restrict it and reduce damage to the teacup caused by excessive shaking.

[0047] When tea needs to be brewed, the rotating limit block 702 is rotated to open the notch of the tea storage bag 703, thereby releasing the limit. This allows the rotating button 708 to be lifted, which slides the water baffle 705 out of the inner cup lid 701. The detachable tea cover 707 is then unscrewed, and tea leaves are placed into the tea storage bag 703 for brewing. After brewing for a certain period of time, the rotating button 709 is manually pushed into the groove of the tea storage bag 703, which causes the water baffle 705 to rotate. This rotates the semi-circular hole 706 at the bottom of the water baffle 705 to the other half without the bottom water inlet 704, preventing the tea leaves from coming into contact with the water and thus reducing the risk of the tea being brewed for too long and affecting the taste.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
