Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of water bottles, and in particular relates to a sports water bottle. Background Technology

[0002] People usually need to replenish fluids during exercise, so they carry sports water bottles to stay hydrated. This has created a market for sports water bottles.

[0003] However, most existing sports water bottles have a structure similar to that disclosed in patent application number 202121856550.5, which includes a bottle body with a "U"-shaped cross-section. A handle is integrally formed in the middle of the right end of the bottle body, and a threaded port is integrally formed in the center of the top of the bottle body. The outer surface of the threaded port is threaded with a bottle cap. A housing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the bottle body near the handle. The housing houses a circuit board, a battery, a buzzer, and a temperature sensor. A display screen is mounted on the outer side of the bottle body near the center of the bottom of the handle, and a charging port is located on the outer side of the bottle body near the bottom of the display screen. However, this structure has the following problems:

[0004] 1. This structure cannot reveal the internal water level; the water level can only be determined by opening the lid, which prevents users from adding water to the kettle in a timely manner.

[0005] 2. Although the structure has an internal battery, when used outdoors, once the battery is depleted, it cannot be recharged in time, resulting in the inability to charge the equipment in a timely manner. Also, when the battery is dead, the water temperature cannot be detected in time, leading to poor applicability.

[0006] 3. The handle of this structure is integrally molded with the body of the kettle, which means that the handle angle cannot be adjusted. If the hand is relatively large or thick, it is not easy to insert it into the groove around the handle. Even if it can be inserted, it is easy to get stuck, resulting in inflexible operation when holding the handle. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a sports water bottle, including a bottle body 1. The cross-section of the bottle body 1 is U-shaped. A threaded port 2 is integrally formed at the center of the top of the bottle body 1. A bottle cap 3 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded port 2. A partition 4 is provided inside the bottle body 1 to separate the interior of the bottle body 1 into upper and lower layers. A circuit board 5 and a battery 6 are provided in the lower layer of the bottle body 1. The battery 6 is connected to the circuit board 5 to supply power to the circuit board 5. A USB charging port 7 is provided on the outside of the bottle body 1 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 5. A connecting part 8 is integrally formed at the upper part of the notch on the right side of the bottle body 1. A rod is hinged to the lower end of the connecting part 8 through a pivot 23. The handle 9 is provided with a limiting groove 10 in the lower part of the notch on the right side of the kettle body 1 to facilitate the insertion of the lower end of the handle 9. The upper layer of the kettle body 1 serves as a water storage tank 11. The water storage tank 11 is provided with an upper water level detection sensor 12, a middle water level detection sensor 13, and a lower water level sensor 14, which are electrically connected to the circuit board 5, arranged sequentially from top to bottom. A flexible solar panel 15 is provided on the outer side of the kettle body 1 near the bottom. The flexible solar panel 15 is electrically connected to the battery 6 through a photovoltaic controller 16 in the lower layer of the kettle body 1. A full water indicator light 17, a half water indicator light 18, and a low water indicator light 19, which are electrically connected to the circuit board 5, are respectively provided on the upper outer side of the kettle body 1.

[0036] Preferably, in order to achieve real-time water temperature detection and display via a three-color light, allowing users to intuitively understand the water level and avoid scalding while drinking, a temperature sensor 20 is installed at the bottom of the water storage tank 11 to detect the water temperature inside the tank 11. A three-color LED light ring 21 is also installed on the outside of the kettle body 1 near the bottom. The three-color LED light ring 21 and the temperature sensor 20 are electrically connected to the circuit board 5. The three-color LED light ring 21 can display blue, green, and red, respectively, and the blue, green, and red colors correspond to water temperatures of 0-20℃, 20-50℃, and 50-90℃, respectively. The temperature sensor 20 enables automatic water level detection, and the three-color light provides an intuitive display reminder.

[0037] As a preferred option, to enhance heat preservation and antibacterial effects, the water storage tank 11 has a three-layer structure, consisting of, from the outside to the inside: a 304 stainless steel layer 111 with anodized surface, a vacuum insulation cavity 112 with a vacuum degree ≤0.1Pa, and an antibacterial nano-coating 113. The 304 stainless steel layer 111 has a thickness of 0.5mm, and the antibacterial nano-coating 113 contains Ag+ ions and has an antibacterial rate ≥99.9%. This structural design further improves the internal sterilization and heat preservation effects.

[0038] Preferably, to prevent the handle 9 from rotating freely when the external force disappears and affecting the user's use, a damping layer 22 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 23, with its outer wall abutting against the inner wall of the hinge through hole 24 on the connecting part 8. The damping layer 22 can prevent the handle 9 from rotating freely when the external force disappears and affecting the user's use.

[0039] Preferably, in order to facilitate carrying the entire water bottle after rotating the hanging rope, the threaded port 2 is movably fitted with a connecting frame 27. Both sides of the connecting frame 27 are provided with waist-shaped hanging rope ear holes 28. Later, the two ends can be fixed in the waist-shaped hanging rope ear holes 28 by hanging rope to form a carrying strap, which makes it convenient for users to carry the water bottle and free their hands.

[0040] Preferably, the lid 3 includes a connecting cover 31 that is threaded to the outer wall of the threaded port 2. The top of the connecting cover 31 is integrally formed with a spout 32. The right end of the connecting cover 31 is rotatably connected to a sealing flip cover 33. The left end of the sealing flip cover 33 is integrally formed with a buckle 34. The left end of the connecting cover 31 is hinged with a latch 35. The latch 35 is rotated upward to lock the buckle 34 and the connecting cover 31. A sealing pressure cover 36 is provided between the spout 32 and the sealing flip cover 33. This structure achieves a sealing effect by placing the sealing pressure cover 36 inside the sealing flip cover 33. When the sealing flip cover 33 is closed above the spout 32, the sealing pressure cover 36 is partially placed inside the spout 32.

[0041] This structure has the following technical advantages:

[0042] 1. This structure has a flexible solar panel 15 set on the outside of the kettle body 1 near the bottom. The flexible solar panel 15 can be used to obtain solar energy and convert it into electrical energy. Then, the photovoltaic controller 16 is electrically connected to the battery 6 to charge the battery 6. This avoids the inability to know the water temperature in time when the kettle is used outside because the battery is dead.

[0043] 2. The angle of the handle 9 of this kettle can be adjusted to accommodate different hand sizes.

[0044] 3. This structure includes, from top to bottom, a top water level sensor 12, a middle water level sensor 13, and a bottom water level sensor 14, all electrically connected to the circuit board 5, arranged sequentially within the water storage tank 11. The top water level sensor 12 detects the highest water level, the middle water level sensor 13 detects the intermediate water level, and the bottom water level sensor 14 detects the lowest water level. When the bottom water level sensor 14 does not detect the water level, the top water level sensor 12 and the middle water level sensor 13 also fail to detect the water level. This indicates that the water capacity in the tank is insufficient. At this time, the low water level indicator light 19 on the circuit board 5 illuminates, indicating insufficient water capacity. When the middle water level sensor 13 does not detect the water level... When the water level is low, the upper water level sensor 12 cannot detect the water temperature or level, but the lower water level sensor 14 can detect the water temperature and level, indicating that the water volume is half full. At this time, the circuit board 5 controls the half-water indicator light 18 to light up, and the user can add water as needed. When the upper water level sensor 12 cannot detect the water temperature or level, but the middle water level sensor 13 and the lower water level sensor 14 can both detect the water temperature and level, it indicates that the water volume is full. At this time, the circuit board 5 controls the full water indicator light 17 to light up, indicating that the cup is full and no water needs to be added. Therefore, this structure allows the user to intuitively see the internal water volume in a timely manner without having to open the lid to see the water volume.

[0045] It should be noted that the circuit board 5 includes a PCB board, a controller, and other electronic components. Considering that setting the circuit board 5 inside the sports water bottle is conventional technology in this field, it will not be described in detail. Furthermore, how the circuit board 5 is electrically connected to the battery 6, USB charging port 7, upper water level detection sensor 12, middle water level detection sensor 13, lower water level sensor 14, flexible solar panel 15, photovoltaic controller 16, full water indicator 17, half water indicator 18, low water indicator 19, temperature sensor 20, and tri-color LED light ring 21, how to obtain signals, and the specific models of each component are all conventional technologies in this field for those skilled in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Please see Figure 7 As shown in this embodiment, a sports water bottle is disclosed. Preferably, in order to facilitate the fixing of the handle 9 when it is not in use, a magnet 25 is provided in the limiting groove 10, and a metal piece 26 is provided at the bottom of the handle 9 to magnetically engage with the magnet 25. With the above structure, when the handle 9 is not in use, the magnet 25 and the metal piece 26 can be used to fix the handle 9.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] Please see Figure 8As shown in this embodiment, a sports water bottle is preferably provided with an upper grip 901 and a middle grip 902 arranged sequentially from top to bottom to adjust the length of the entire handle and further facilitate user use. The middle grip 902 is telescopically inserted into the upper grip and partially extends out of the upper grip 901, and the outer wall of the middle grip 902 abuts against the inner wall of the upper grip 901. In this structure, the upper grip 901 is hollow, and an extension rod 9021 is provided above the middle grip 902. The upper part of the extension rod 9021 is movably inserted into the upper grip 901. To prevent it from moving arbitrarily, the outer wall of the extension rod 9021 needs to abut against the inner wall of the through hole inside the upper grip 901, so that the middle grip 902 can only be pulled under the action of external force. When the external force is removed, the middle grip 902 will not move on its own. In order to facilitate the hand grip of the upper grip 901 later, anti-slip protrusions 903 are provided on the upper grip 901. Therefore, through this structure, the length of the entire handle 9 can be adjusted as required, which is convenient for the user. When not in use, the extension rod 9021 is inserted into the upper grip 901, and then the bottom of the middle grip 902 is inserted into the limiting groove 10 for limiting.

[0050] Example 4

[0051] Please see Figure 9 As shown in this embodiment, a sports water bottle is disclosed. Preferably, to further improve the sealing performance, an annular groove 29 is provided at the upper end of the threaded port 2. The cross-section of the annular groove 29 is an inverted trapezoidal structure. A trapezoidal sealing ring 30 is provided inside the lid 3 and inserted into the annular groove 29. By setting the trapezoidal sealing ring 30, the sealing effect is further improved and water leakage is avoided.

[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
