Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of travel products technology, and in particular to a mouthwash cup. Background Technology
[0002] When traveling for business or leisure, it's common to carry a travel mouthwash cup. This cup can be used to hold water for rinsing the mouth or to store oral hygiene tools like toothpaste and toothbrushes. When using the cup for rinsing, it's filled with water to keep it moist. However, when storing toothpaste and toothbrushes, the cup should be kept as dry as possible to prevent bacterial growth. Since the cup needs to switch between these two moist and dry environments, it usually has ventilation holes. Especially during tight travel schedules, toothpaste and toothbrushes need to be immediately stored in the still-damp cup. The ventilation holes help the cup and the toothpaste and toothbrush dry quickly, preventing hygiene problems caused by prolonged dampness.
[0003] However, in order to ensure that the cup body is intact and leak-proof, the ventilation holes of existing mouthwash cups can only be opened on the lid, which is far away from the cup body. This results in poor ventilation at the cup body and weakens the drying effect of the ventilation holes on the travel mouthwash cup.
[0004] One existing method for drying travel mouthwash cups involves inverting the cup. Water droplets on the inner wall of the cup flow down and land on the inner surface of the lid. Because the lid is close to the ventilation holes, ventilation is good, allowing the water droplets to evaporate quickly and thus accelerating the drying process. However, existing travel mouthwash cups lack a special design for the ventilation holes, allowing water droplets flowing towards the lid to potentially leak out. Since the mouthwash cup is placed in a backpack or suitcase during travel, the leaked water droplets, carrying small amounts of toothpaste or mouthwash, can stain surrounding fabrics, affecting the user's travel experience. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related technology, the present invention provides a mouthwash cup that can prevent water droplets inside from flowing out of the ventilation hole when placed upside down, so as to avoid the problem of the fabric around the mouthwash cup being contaminated.

[0030] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a mouthwash cup is characterized by comprising:
[0033] The cup body is 100mm, used to hold toiletries;
[0034] The lid 200 is detachably connected to the cup body 100 and is used to cover the open top of the cup body 100.
[0035] Ventilation hole 211 is located on the top of cup lid 200;
[0036] The water-blocking rim 212 is set on the inner top surface of the cup lid 200, located on the outer periphery of the ventilation hole 211, and is used to prevent water droplets from flowing into the ventilation hole 211.
[0037] For ordinary travel mouthwash cups, there are usually ventilation holes 211 on the lid 200 to dry the cup body 100. However, when using such mouthwash cups, two problems arise. When the mouthwash cup is upright, that is, when the mouthwash cup is placed with the lid 200 facing upwards, the water droplets inside the mouthwash cup will flow down due to gravity and accumulate at the bottom of the cup body 100. Since this area is far from the ventilation holes 211, the ventilation effect is poor, resulting in slow drying. When the mouthwash cup is inverted, although the water droplets will flow towards the lid 200, The location is close to the ventilation hole 211, which is conducive to drying, but water droplets can also easily flow out of the ventilation hole 211, contaminating items near the travel mouthwash cup. This is especially true when traveling for business, where the schedule is tight and the mouthwash cup is packed into the travel bag before it is completely dry. If the mouthwash cup is placed upright, it will prolong the time that the inside is damp, which will lead to the growth of bacteria. If the mouthwash cup is placed upside down, although the drying speed is faster, water droplets with residual toothpaste stains may flow out of the ventilation hole 211, which may contaminate items near the mouthwash cup.
[0038] The mouthwash cup of this invention features a water-blocking edge 212, which prevents water droplets flowing into the inner surface of the lid 200 when the cup is inverted from flowing further to the ventilation hole 211. This avoids the problem of water droplets flowing out of the mouthwash cup and causing contamination. At this time, the water droplets gather on the inner surface of the lid 200, which is closer to the ventilation hole 211, which is conducive to the dissipation of moisture. Compared with an upright mouthwash cup, the drying speed is faster, avoiding the problem of bacterial growth.
[0039] Example 2
[0040] Example 2 further designs the specific structure of the cup lid 200 based on Example 1.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-3 As shown, the ventilation holes 211 are distributed on the inclined side wall of the recess. Specifically, the top plate of the cup lid 200 is recessed towards the cup body 100 to form a recess 213. The ventilation holes 211 are located in the recess 213 so that when the cup lid 200 is placed upside down on the table, the ventilation holes 211 will not contact the table.
[0042] In this embodiment, the recess 213 has a bottom surface and a peripheral surface, the peripheral surface being an inclined surface or an arc surface, and a plurality of ventilation holes 211 are spaced apart on the peripheral surface of the recess 213.
[0043] When using a mouthwash cup, after opening the lid 200, it is often placed on the washbasin. Since the open side of the lid 200 is connected to the cup body 100, it is unhygienic for this side to directly contact the washbasin. Therefore, users tend to place the lid 200 with the open side facing upwards and the side with the vent 211 in contact with the countertop. This inverted position makes the vent 211 easily contaminated with water droplets from the washbasin. As a result, after the lid 200 is fastened to the cup body 100, external water droplets enter through the vent 211 and contaminate the inside of the cup body 100. To avoid this problem, a portion of the lid 200 is designed to be recessed, forming a recess 213, and the vent 211 is located in the recess 213. When the lid 200 is placed on the washbasin with the open side facing upwards, there is a distance between the vent 211 in the recess 213 and the water droplets on the washbasin, thus preventing external water droplets from entering through the vent 211 and contaminating the inside of the cup body 100.
[0044] In addition, considering that dust may drift into the interior of the cup body 100 through the ventilation hole 211 after the cup lid 200 and the cup body 100 are fastened together, the ventilation holes 211 are distributed at intervals on the peripheral side of the recess 213 to reduce the probability of dust drifting in.
[0045] It is worth noting that the number of recesses 213 can be one or more.
[0046] Example 3
[0047] Example 3: Based on the above examples, a decorative pad 300 is provided on the cup lid 200.
[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-3 As shown, a decorative pad 300 is provided on the upper surface of the cup lid 200, and an exhaust channel for airflow is formed between the decorative pad 300 and the ventilation hole 211.
[0049] In this embodiment, a snap-fit groove is provided on the upper surface of the cup lid 200, through which a decorative pad 300 is snapped. In practical applications, the cup lid 200 and the decorative pad 300 can also be connected by adhesive bonding, welding, or other methods.
[0050] In this embodiment, the top surface of the decorative pad 300 is higher than the top surface of the cup lid 200. An exhaust channel for airflow is formed between the periphery of the decorative pad 300 and the ventilation hole 211. When the cup lid 200 is placed upside down on the washbasin, only the decorative pad 300 is in contact with the washbasin surface, while the rest of the cup lid 200 is higher than the washbasin surface. The outlet of the exhaust channel is raised by the decorative pad 300, so that air can circulate through the exhaust channel, and the ventilation hole 211 is not easily contaminated with water droplets on the washbasin.
[0051] Example 4
[0052] Example 4 further designs the specific structure of the water-blocking edge 212 and the ventilation hole 211 based on the above examples.
[0053] In one embodiment, the water-blocking edge 212 is a plurality of closed annular protruding edges provided on the top surface of the cup lid 200, and each water-blocking edge 212 surrounds at least one ventilation hole 211.
[0054] In another implementation, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water-blocking edge 212 is located between the ventilation hole 211 and the side wall of the cup lid 200, and the water-blocking edge 212 surrounds all the ventilation holes 211.
[0055] In practical applications, the arrangement of the water-blocking edge 212 can be flexible and varied. A water-blocking edge 212 can be arranged around one or two ventilation holes 211. This arrangement creates an area for accommodating water droplets between adjacent water-blocking edges 212. This area is close to the ventilation holes 211, and water droplets can gather in this area to achieve better ventilation. However, because the water droplets are too close to the ventilation holes 211, water droplets may still splash out of the ventilation holes 211 when the vehicle is bumpy. The water-blocking edge 212 can also be arranged to surround all ventilation holes 211 and be as far away from the ventilation holes 211 as possible to reduce the risk of water droplets splashing out of the ventilation holes 211 when the vehicle is bumpy.
[0056] Example 5
[0057] Example 5 further designs the specific structure of the cup body 100 based on the above examples.
[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-3As shown, the cup body 100 includes an outer cup 110 and at least one inner cup 120. The inner cup 120 and the outer cup 110 are stacked sequentially according to their size. This stacking specifically means that the cups can be nested within each other according to their size. For example, there may be one inner cup 120, which can be nested inside the outer cup 110; or there may be two inner cups 120, a small inner cup and a large inner cup, where the small inner cup can be nested inside the large inner cup, and the large inner cup can be nested inside the outer cup 110.
[0059] In this embodiment, the cup lid 200 includes a lid body 210 and a middle frame 220. The lower part of the lid body 210 is connected to the middle frame 220. When the cup lid 200 and the outer cup body 100 are connected, the lower end of the middle frame 220 abuts against the upper end of the inner cup 120.
[0060] In this embodiment, the lower edge of the middle frame 220 near the outer cup 110 is provided with an annular groove, and the inner side of the upper edge of the outer cup 110 is provided with an annular protrusion. The cup lid 200 and the cup body 100 are engaged with the protrusion of the outer cup 110 through the groove of the middle frame 220.
[0061] In this embodiment, the cover 210 and the middle frame 220 are configured to be detachably connected. The specific connection method can be designed by those skilled in the art as needed, such as threaded connection, screw fastener, plug-in or snap fastener. Preferably, the cover 210 and the middle frame 220 are snap fastened together.
[0062] The "one-piece multi-cup" design of the mouthwash cup in this embodiment allows the smaller inner cup 120 to be stored on the inner surface of the larger outer cup 110. To prevent the inner cup 120 and the outer cup 110 from shaking and colliding with each other during bumpy journeys, the cup lid 200 includes a middle frame 220. When the lid 210 is fastened to the top of the cup body 100, the lower end of the middle frame 220 abuts against the upper end of the inner cup 120 to prevent the inner cup 120 from shaking.
[0063] It is worth noting that there can be multiple inner cups 120. When there are three inner cups 120, the smaller inner cups 120 are stacked on top of the larger inner cups 120. At this time, the lower end of the middle frame 220 abuts against the upper end of all the inner cups 120.
[0064] Example 6
[0065] Example 6 adds a portable toothbrush 400 adapted to a mouthwash cup, based on the above examples.
[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, it also includes a portable toothbrush 400, which includes a handle 410 and a brush head 420. The brush head 420 is provided with bristles 421 for cleaning. The handle 410 has a cavity. The brush head 420 can be inserted into the cavity port on the handle 410 with the bristles 421 facing towards the handle 410. In this case, the brush head 420 is stored in the cavity. Alternatively, the brush head 420 can be inserted into the cavity port on the handle 410 with the bristles 421 facing away from the handle 410. In this case, the brush head 420 is outside the cavity.
[0067] To make the travel mouthwash cup more portable, the outer cup 110 and inner cup 120 are relatively low. After the cup body 100 is closed with the lid 200, the internal space cannot accommodate a regular toothbrush. Therefore, a portable toothbrush 400 adapted to the travel mouthwash cup is designed. The brush head 420 can be removed from the handle 410. When the brush head 420 is inserted into the cavity of the handle 410, the portable toothbrush 400 is slightly higher than the handle 410, and can be placed inside the travel mouthwash cup. When the toothbrush needs to be used, the brush head 420 is pulled out from the handle 410, and the brush head 420 and handle 410 are reconnected with the bristles 421 facing away from the handle 410. At this time, the portable toothbrush 400 can be used normally.
