[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0030] This embodiment mainly describes the cup lid and cup with a dual-purpose magnetic inverted tea infuser, as detailed below:
[0031] A cup lid and cup with a dual-purpose magnetic inverted tea infuser, including a cup body 2, a cup lid 1, a temperature sensor 9 and a tea infuser 19. The temperature sensor 9 is inserted into the cup lid 1. The cup lid 1 is detachably mounted on the cup body 2 via a threaded connection. A drinking cup 17 is provided inside the tea infuser 19. A magnetic connection mechanism is provided between the cup lid 1 and the tea infuser 19. The tea infuser 19 is detachably mounted inside the cup lid 1 via the magnetic connection mechanism.
[0032] The magnetic connection mechanism includes an upper magnet 25 and a first magnet 30, wherein the upper magnet 25 is disposed inside the cup lid 1 and the first magnet 30 is disposed inside the tea strainer 19.
[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the cup lid 1 includes a shell 3, a limiting ring 4, and a main lid body 5. The shell 3 is fitted onto the surface of the main lid body 5 by an interference fit. The limiting ring 4 is located between the shell 3 and the main lid body 5. A notch 7 is provided on one side of the limiting ring 4. A rib 6 is also provided on the main lid body 5. When the shell 3 is fitted onto the main lid body 5, the rib 6 is engaged in the notch 7, positioning the installation position of the limiting ring 4 on the main lid body 5. The other side of the limiting ring 4 is inserted between the shell 3 and the main lid body 5, increasing the friction between the shell 3 and the main lid body 5 and strengthening the synchronous rotation between the shell 3 and the main lid body 5. By setting the limiting ring 4, the situation where the shell 3 rotates but the main lid body 5 does not rotate is avoided when the user rotates the cup lid 1 by twisting the shell 3.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the top surface of the main cover 5 is provided with a mounting groove 12, and a temperature sensor 9 is provided in the mounting groove 12. The temperature sensor 9 includes a display panel 10 and a probe 11. The top surface of the housing 3 is provided with a mounting hole 8 for the display panel 10 to be exposed. The display panel 10 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 12. The probe 11 extends into the cup body 2 to detect the temperature in the cup body 2. The detected temperature is fed back through the display panel 10. The user can see the temperature fed back on the display panel 10 from the mounting hole 8 of the housing 3, so as to avoid the drinking temperature being too high and burning themselves.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, a first step 24 is provided in the mounting groove 12, and a first rubber ring 23 is provided on the first step 24. The first rubber ring 23 abuts against the side wall of the display panel 10 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 12 respectively, so as to prevent the liquid in the cup body 2 from flowing out from the gap between the display panel 10 and the mounting groove 12 when the cup is inverted.
[0036] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a slot 36, a retaining edge 26 and a cover plate 13 are provided inside the main cover 5. The slot 36 is arranged in a ring along the outer wall of the mounting groove 12. The upper magnet 25 is set in the slot 36 by an interference fit connection.
[0037] The baffle 26 is disposed on one side of the upper magnet 25. The cover plate 13 includes a main body 16 and an extension 14. The main body 16 is disposed against the outer wall of the mounting groove 12, and the extension 14 is disposed against both the outer wall of the upper magnet 25 and the outer wall of the baffle 26.
[0038] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the main body 16 is provided with an opening 35, and the mounting groove 12 is provided with a through hole 34. The opening 35 and the through hole 34 are correspondingly arranged. The probe 11 passes through the opening 35 and the through hole 34 and extends into the cup body 2. A second rubber ring 33 is provided between the opening 35 and the through hole 34. The second rubber ring 33 extends outward and wraps around the edge of the opening 35 to prevent water vapor in the cup body 2 from entering the main cover 5 from the connection between the opening 35 and the second rubber ring 33. This prevents water vapor from corroding the magnet 25 over a long period of time, causing it to rust and lose its magnetism. When the probe 11 is inserted into the cup body 2, the edge of the second rubber ring 33 is attached to the probe 11 to prevent liquid in the cup body 2 from leaking out from the connection between the second rubber ring 33 and the probe 11 when the cup is inverted.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the main cover 5 is provided with a groove 28 and a third rubber ring 27. The other end of the extension 14 is fixedly set in the groove 28, which increases the installation stability of the cover plate 13 on the main cover 5. The extension 14 is also in contact with the outer wall of the baffle 26 and the third rubber ring 27. When the cup lid 1 and the cup body 2 are tightened, the cup mouth is pressed against the third rubber ring 27, which enhances the sealing between the cup lid 1 and the cup body 2. The third rubber ring 27 is deformed by the squeezing of the cup mouth and the cup lid 1, and is tightly attached to the extension 14, which increases the sealing between the cover plate 13 and the main cover 5, and prevents water vapor from entering between the cover plate 13 and the main cover 5, causing the upper magnet 25 to rust.
[0040] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the drinking cup 17 has a hollow double-layer structure that combines the inner liner and the outer shell, which serves to insulate against heat and prevent scalding. A cavity is provided between the inner liner and the outer shell, and a second magnet 32 is fixedly installed in the cavity. The second magnet 32 is arranged in a ring at the opening end of the drinking cup 17. The drinking cup 17 is attracted to the lid plate 13 by the magnetic attraction between the second magnet 32 and the upper magnet 25.
[0041] A second step 15 is provided at the connection between the extension 14 and the main body 16. The diameter of the main body 16 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the opening end of the drinking cup 17. When the drinking cup 17 is attached to the cover plate 13, the opening end of the drinking cup 17 is automatically positioned at the second step 15 without the need for user adjustment, which is convenient and quick.
[0042] The tea strainer 19 is fitted around the drinking cup 17. The tea strainer 19 is made of non-magnetic metal or non-metallic material, such as food-grade stainless steel (non-magnetic or weakly magnetic), titanium, aluminum or food-grade plastic. Preferably, in this embodiment, the tea strainer 19 is made of non-magnetic titanium.
[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, the edge of the tea strainer 19 is provided with a rolled edge 29. The rolled edge 29 extends outward and is curved to form a receiving cavity 37 for the first magnet 30 to be inserted. The first magnet 30 is disposed in the receiving cavity 37. The tea strainer 19 is detachably disposed on the main cover 5 by the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 30 and the upper magnet 25.
[0044] The first magnet 30 is arranged with a long elliptical cross section, which increases the adsorption area between the first magnet 30 and the upper magnet 25, so that the tea strainer 19 can be more firmly adsorbed onto the upper magnet 25 through the first magnet 30.
[0045] When brewing tea, users can enjoy two different ways of drinking it depending on the placement of the tea leaves inside the cup body 2:
[0046] like Figure 8 As shown in Embodiment 1, tea leaves are placed inside the tea strainer 19. Specifically, both the tea strainer 19 and the drinking cup 17 are magnetically attracted to the main cover 5 by the upper magnet 25. The drinking cup 17 is placed inside the tea strainer 19, and the height of the drinking cup 17 is less than that of the tea strainer 19, creating a height difference between the bottom of the drinking cup 17 and the bottom of the tea strainer 19, forming a brewing space 38 for placing tea leaves. The bottom and inner wall of the tea strainer 19 are provided with drainage holes 20. When the user drinks, they unscrew the lid 1 and lift it upwards. The water in the tea strainer 19 flows out through the drainage holes 20. After removing it, the user can remove the tea strainer 19 and the drinking cup 17, pour the brewed water from the cup body 2 into the drinking cup 17 for tasting. This avoids drinking tea leaves and eliminates the need to carry extra cups, making it convenient and quick.
[0047] like Figure 9As shown in Embodiment 2, tea leaves are placed inside the cup body 2 for brewing. The tea strainer 19 is not attached to the main lid 5, but rather snapped onto the rim of the cup body 2. Specifically, the side wall of the tea strainer 19 has an outwardly extending protrusion 31. A fourth rubber ring 21 is provided between the protrusion 31 and the rolled edge 29. The fourth rubber ring 21 is tightly fitted to the tea strainer 19 and is limited by the rolled edge 29 and the protrusion 31 to prevent it from sliding up and down. The fourth rubber ring 21 has outwardly protruding bumps 22, which increase the cross-sectional area of the fourth rubber ring 21. When the tea strainer 19 is attached to the mouth of the cup body 2, the fourth rubber ring 21 is deformed under pressure, securing the tea strainer 19 to the mouth of the cup. When the user drinks water directly by tilting the cup body 2, the tea strainer 19 will not fall off the mouth of the cup due to the compression of the fourth rubber ring 21. The tea leaves in the cup body 2 are blocked inside the cup body 2 by the tea strainer 19. The brewed water flows out from the drain hole 20 of the tea strainer 19 and is directly available for the user to drink. Alternatively, the user can remove the drinking cup 17 from the main cover 5 and pour the brewed water from the cup body 2 into the drinking cup 17 for drinking, which is convenient and quick.
[0048] The tea strainer 19 has a rotating handle 18 inside, with both ends of the handle 18 inserted into the sides of the tea strainer 19. When the tea strainer 19 needs to be removed from the mouth of the cup, the handle 18 can be rotated and pulled upwards to remove the tea strainer 19 from the mouth of the cup.
