Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cup technology, specifically to an ice cup. Background Technology

[0002] Beverages, after being refrigerated, are at a lower temperature. Consumers desire to slow down the warming process of beverages before drinking them; for example, in hot summers, people want chilled beer to stay warm for longer. Therefore, ice cups, designed to insulate beverages, have emerged. Ice cups typically have a double-walled structure, creating an insulated, sealed chamber surrounding the inner liner, thus slowing down the warming of the chilled beverage. However, when drinking from an ice cup, the user's lips usually only touch the outer layer, resulting in a difference in perceived temperature between the cup and the beverage, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an ice cup that not only has the ability to keep cold, but also makes the temperature of the cup and the liquid more consistent when the user drinks the liquid, thus improving the drinking experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses an ice cup, which includes an outer layer, a middle layer, and an inner layer, all of which have a cup-shaped structure. The middle layer is connected to the cup cavity of the outer layer, and a vacuum chamber is formed between the outer layer and the middle layer. The inner layer is placed in the cup cavity of the middle layer, and the rim of the inner layer extends beyond the rims of the middle layer and the outer layer. The rim of the middle layer and / or the rim of the outer layer are connected to the outer wall of the inner layer.

[0005] The outer wall of the inner layer is provided with a limiting step, and the cup opening of the middle layer and / or the cup opening of the outer layer are connected to the limiting step.

[0006] The cup opening of the middle layer and / or the cup opening of the outer layer are tightly connected to the outer wall of the inner layer.

[0007] The cup opening of the middle layer and / or the cup opening of the outer layer are bonded to the outer wall of the inner layer.

[0008] The outer cup opening is connected to the outer wall of the inner layer, and the outer and inner layers cover the middle layer.

[0009] The middle layer is attached to the inner layer, or there is a gap between the middle layer and the inner layer.

[0010] The bottom center of the outer layer is recessed inward to form a clearance groove.

[0011] The inner layer is made of a thermally conductive material.

[0012] The distance between the cup opening of the inner layer and the cup opening of the middle layer, as well as the distance between the cup opening of the inner layer and the cup opening of the outer layer, shall not be less than 0.5cm.

[0013] By adopting the above solution, the inner cup opening extends beyond the middle and outer cup openings. This means that the inner cup opening is what comes into contact with the user's lips, and the temperature of the liquid inside can be transferred to the inner cup opening. This makes the temperature of the cup and the liquid more consistent when the user drinks the liquid, thus improving the drinking experience. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an ice cup, which includes an outer layer 1, a middle layer 2 and an inner layer 3. The outer layer 1, the middle layer 2 and the inner layer 3 are all cup-shaped structures. The inner layer 3 is used to hold liquid and is made of a heat-conducting material, such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc.

[0022] The middle layer 2 is fixedly connected to the cup cavity of the outer layer 1, and a vacuum chamber 4 is formed between the outer layer 1 and the middle layer 2. This vacuum chamber 4 is also cup-shaped. The inner layer 3 is placed in the cup cavity of the middle layer 2, and the vacuum chamber 4 surrounds the outside of the inner layer 3 to achieve a cold-keeping effect. In particular, the mouth of the inner layer 3 extends beyond the mouths of the middle layer 2 and the outer layer 1. The distance between the mouth of the inner layer 3 and the mouth of the middle layer 2, and the distance between the mouth of the inner layer 3 and the mouth of the outer layer 1, are both not less than 0.5 cm. This ensures that when the user drinks the liquid in the cup, their lips are unlikely to touch the outer layer 1.

[0023] The cup opening of the middle layer 2 and / or the cup opening of the outer layer 1 are connected to the outer wall of the inner layer 3. To facilitate positioning and connection, the outer wall of the outer layer 1 is provided with a limiting step 5. The cup opening of the middle layer 2 and / or the cup opening of the outer layer 1 are connected to the limiting step 5. The preferred connection method is an expansion joint, which is convenient and simple. In addition, to ensure the stability of the connection, adhesive bonding can also be used. As a preferred embodiment, the cup opening of the middle layer 2 does not exceed the cup opening of the outer layer 1. More preferably, the cup opening of the middle layer 2 is set lower than the cup opening of the outer layer 1, so that only the cup opening of the outer layer 1 is connected to the outer wall of the inner layer 3. The outer layer 1 and the inner layer 3 cover the middle layer 2. In this way, it is only necessary to control the shape of the cup opening of the outer layer 1 to easily connect the three-layer structure together, which is beneficial for processing.

[0024] The middle layer 2 can be attached to the inner layer 3, which helps to ensure the capacity of the inner layer 3. Alternatively, there can be a gap between the middle layer 2 and the inner layer 3, meaning that the middle layer 2 (except at the cup rim) does not contact the inner layer 3. This effectively creates a heat-insulating space between the middle layer 2 and the inner layer 3. This also facilitates processing, because the gap between the middle layer 2 and the inner layer 3 means that the shape control precision requirements for the middle layer 2 and the inner layer 3 are not very high, and processing deformation is less likely to affect assembly.

[0025] To ensure the ice cup is placed stably and to improve the structural stability of its bottom, the bottom center of the outer layer 1 is recessed inward to form a relief groove 6. This way, when the ice cup is placed on a flat surface, only the outer ring of the bottom of the outer layer 1 contacts the flat surface, and even if the bottom of the outer layer 1 deforms, it is less likely to affect its placement.

[0026] This utility model ice cup can come in various shapes, such as shape one, which is relatively short and has a large opening, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown; it can also be shape two, which is taller and has a narrower mouth, such as Figure 3-4 As shown.

[0027] The key to this invention lies in the fact that the rim of the inner layer 3 extends beyond the rims of the middle layer 2 and the outer layer 1. This ensures that the rim of the inner layer 3 is in contact with the user's lips, allowing the temperature of the liquid inside to be transferred to the rim. This results in a more consistent temperature between the cup and the liquid when the user drinks, thus enhancing the drinking experience. The vacuum chamber 4 helps to keep the liquid inside the cup cool.

[0028] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
