Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic cup technology, specifically to a ceramic cup with graduated markings. Background Technology

[0002] "Ceramics" refers to plate-shaped or block-shaped ceramic products made from clay or other inorganic non-metallic raw materials, processed through molding, sintering, and other techniques, used for decorating and protecting building walls and floors. After drying, they are heated to a certain degree to harden them, making them insoluble in water. Among them, ceramic cups are common household items. The main components of ceramic cups are kaolin, porcelain clay, colorants, cobalt blue pigment, and lime-alkali glaze.

[0003] Currently, the main function of cups as containers for solutions is to hold beverages. For some beverages that require stirring and the addition of an appropriate amount of water, such as milk tea, coffee, and milk, inexperienced people need to know the amount of water to add. Therefore, a type of cup has been developed with graduations on the body to measure the amount of water poured into the cup. These cups are mostly transparent plastic or glass cups. However, nowadays, people mostly prefer to use ceramic cups because they are beautiful, hygienic, safe, and environmentally friendly. Ceramic cups are not transparent, and the graduations on the body do not indicate the amount of water inside. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art and to provide a ceramic cup with graduated markings.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A ceramic cup with graduated markings includes a ceramic cup body, a measuring cylinder is provided inside the ceramic cup body, a float mechanism is provided inside the measuring cylinder, a scale line is provided on the surface of the measuring cylinder body for indicating the height of the float mechanism, a connecting hole is provided at the bottom of the measuring cylinder body for communicating with the inner cavity of the ceramic cup body; an observation window is provided on the outer surface of the ceramic cup body for observing the height of the float mechanism inside the measuring cylinder, and a mounting plate is provided on the observation window for closing the observation window.

[0006] Furthermore, the observation window is a strip-shaped opening with a vertical diameter, located near the top edge of the ceramic cup body.

[0007] Furthermore, the buoy mechanism includes a buoy coaxially disposed within the metering cylinder, the buoy being located within the metering cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the buoy is connected to the inner cavity of the metering cylinder with a gap, and the radial single-sided gap between the outer wall of the buoy and the inner wall of the metering cylinder is 0.4±0.05mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the buoy mechanism also includes an anti-rotation structure, which includes two grooves extending axially along the inner wall of the metering cylinder, and a protrusion located on the outer wall of the buoy and slidingly engaging with the grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the ceramic cup body has an arc-shaped handle on the side.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting plate is a cylindrical tempered glass mounting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the edges of the observation window are coated with a luminescent material.

[0013] Furthermore, the metering cylinder is a straight, transparent tube.

[0014] Furthermore, there are several connecting holes, which are arranged circumferentially around the periphery of the metering cylinder.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. Precise measurement and high stability: The straight cylindrical metering cylinder, combined with radial single-sided gap control (0.4±0.05mm), ensures that the float moves only vertically along the axial direction when the liquid level changes, eliminating the gap variation error caused by the conical tube. Combined with the float height scale, the liquid volume (such as drinking water) can be read directly and accurately, significantly reducing the error rate.

[0017] 2. Anti-rotation structure ensures reliable readings: The sliding fit between the axial double grooves on the inner wall of the measuring cylinder and the protrusions on the outer wall of the float forcibly restricts the circumferential rotation of the float, ensuring that the scale markings are always aligned with the observation window. Even if the cup is tilted or impacted by water flow, the float maintains a stable orientation, avoiding reading deviations caused by rotation.

[0018] 3. Optimized visibility, usable in all weather conditions: The cylindrical tempered glass mounting plate fits the curvature of the ceramic cup body, providing a distortion-free viewing field; the vertical strip observation window is located at the top of the cup body, conforming to the human eye's downward viewing habit; the edge luminous coating automatically illuminates in low light environments, clearly indicating the window position, enabling unobstructed reading day and night.

[0024] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, a ceramic cup with graduated markings includes a ceramic cup body 1. A straight, transparent measuring cylinder 2 is provided inside the ceramic cup body 1. A float mechanism 3 is provided inside the measuring cylinder 2. The surface of the measuring cylinder 2 is provided with graduation lines 5 for indicating the height of the float mechanism 3. The bottom of the measuring cylinder 2 is provided with a connecting hole 7 that communicates with the inner cavity of the ceramic cup body 1. Several connecting holes 7 are arranged circumferentially around the measuring cylinder to facilitate liquid flow. The outer surface of the ceramic cup body 1 is provided with an observation window 4 for observing the height of the float mechanism 3 inside the measuring cylinder 3. An installation plate is provided on the observation window 4 for closing the observation window 4. This allows for direct and accurate reading of the liquid volume (such as the amount of water) inside the ceramic cup using the cooperation of the float mechanism 3, graduation lines 5, and observation window 4. This facilitates the user's understanding of the liquid volume, significantly reduces the error rate, and ensures a good taste for the beverage.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the observation window 4 is a strip-shaped opening arranged vertically near the top edge of the ceramic cup body; and the edge of the observation window 4 is provided with a luminescent coating. The vertical strip-shaped observation window is located on the side of the cup body, which conforms to the human eye's downward viewing habit; the luminescent coating on the edge automatically emits light in low light environment, clearly indicating the window position, and realizing unobstructed reading day and night.

[0027] In this embodiment, the buoy mechanism 3 includes a buoy 301 coaxially disposed within the metering cylinder 2. The buoy 301 is located within the metering cylinder 2; the buoy 301 is gap-connected to the inner cavity of the metering cylinder 2, and the radial single-sided gap between the outer wall of the buoy 301 and the inner wall of the metering cylinder 2 is 0.4±0.05mm. This ensures that the buoy moves only vertically along the axial direction when the liquid level changes, eliminating the gap variation error caused by the tapered tube.

[0028] In this embodiment, the buoy mechanism 3 further includes an anti-rotation structure 302. The anti-rotation structure 302 includes two grooves extending axially along the inner wall of the measuring cylinder 2, and a protrusion located on the outer wall of the buoy 301 and slidingly engaging with the grooves. This forcibly restricts the circumferential rotation of the buoy, ensuring that the scale markings are always aligned with the observation window. Even if the cup is tilted or impacted by water flow, the buoy maintains a stable orientation, avoiding reading deviations caused by rotation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the ceramic cup body 1 is provided with an arc-shaped handle 6 on the side. The arc-shaped handle 6 is ergonomic and does not easily block the observation window when pouring water. The top observation window layout allows for reading without lifting the cup body, making it particularly suitable for safe use by the elderly, rehabilitation patients, and other groups.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting plate is a cylindrical tempered glass mounting plate, which fits the curvature of the ceramic cup body to provide a distortion-free viewing field.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When coffee needs to be brewed, coffee powder is added to the ceramic cup, then hot water is poured into the cup, and the position of the float 301 on the scale line inside the measuring cylinder 2 is observed through the observation window 4, and the amount of water added is known based on the position.

[0032] Without causing conflict, those skilled in the art can freely combine and use the above-mentioned additional technical features.
