Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbonated water bottles, specifically a carbonated water bottle for use in carbonated water machines. Background Technology
[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to this utility model and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] A carbonated water machine is a device used to add carbon dioxide to drinking water to make it carbonated water. Each carbonated water machine has one or more compatible carbonated water bottles. When the carbonated water bottle is damaged, it needs to be replaced to ensure the normal operation of the carbonated water machine.
[0004] Carbonated water bottles consist of two parts: the bottle body and the bottom. Traditionally, the bottle body and bottom are fixed together and cannot be disassembled. If damaged, both the bottle body and bottom must be replaced, increasing costs for the user. Therefore, reducing resource waste is a problem that needs to be solved. Bumps and knocks are unavoidable during use, and protecting the internal components and minimizing damage from these impacts is another issue that needs to be addressed.
[0005] For carbonated water bottles, different parts are made of different materials. When a carbonated water bottle is damaged, the bottle body and / or bottom need to be discarded. Different parts made of different materials need to be sorted for waste to meet environmental protection requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that parts made of different materials can be disassembled and separated.
[0006] The body of a carbonated water bottle is more fragile than the bottom, so how to ensure a secure connection between the body and the bottom while preventing the bottle from breaking is a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a carbonated water bottle for a carbonated water machine. This device uses a snap-fit mechanism between an arc-shaped base and a support seat for fixing and separating the bottle. This allows for easy replacement of only the damaged parts after damage, reducing resource waste. The device utilizes the different angles of the inclined surfaces on both sides of the triangular convex ridge to vary the force required for rotating and separating the bottle. The bottle bottom is made of stainless steel, reducing damage from impacts. Furthermore, the bottle bottom and support seat are secured by a bent component; when replacement is needed, simply repositioning the bent component allows separation of the support seat and bottle bottom.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:
[0009] A carbonated water bottle for a carbonated water machine includes a bottle body and a bottle bottom. An arc-shaped base is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the bottle body, and the arc-shaped base is connected to the bottle body by adhesive, preferably UV-cured adhesive. A detachable support base is provided on the bottle bottom, and the arc-shaped base and the support base are rotatably snapped together. The support base is detachably mounted on the bottle bottom, and the support base also has a slot that matches the outer side of the arc-shaped base, allowing the snap-fit component to engage and securely fasten with the slot.
[0010] The outer circumference of the arc-shaped base is provided with multiple snap-fit components, and the support base is provided with snap-fit grooves that fit the snap-fit components. Each snap-fit component has a triangular protrusion, and each snap-fit groove has a triangular recess. The triangular protrusions and recesses fit together to secure the arc-shaped base to the support base. The snap-fit components with triangular protrusions and the snap-fit grooves with matching triangular recesses allow for rotatable snap-fit fixation between the arc-shaped base and the support base. Because the two sides of the triangular protrusions have different inclinations, the forces required for rotational fixation and separation are different. Furthermore, the support base is made of plastic, and the snap-fit grooves can undergo slight elastic deformation, allowing the triangular protrusions to be fixed and separated through snap-fit. The arc-shaped base is hollow inside, and the support base is provided with limiting components that fit the interior of the arc-shaped base. The support base has a limiting component in the middle that is compatible with the arc-shaped base. The limiting component increases the contact area between the limiting component and the arc-shaped base, and also reduces the cost of the limiting component during injection molding.
[0011] The support base is also equipped with multiple circumferentially arranged slots. The bottle bottom has a bent component positioned opposite these slots, which engages within them. The bottom of the support base also has a boss that matches the hollow space formed by the bent component after bending. The support base is made of plastic. To better protect the internal components and reduce the impact of impacts, the bottle bottom is made of stainless steel. After the bent component is formed, a hollow space remains in the bottle bottom. The boss on the bottom of the support base matches this hollow space, ensuring the carbonated water bottle can be placed securely on a table. To separate the support base from the bottle bottom, simply reposition the bent component, thus meeting the requirements for waste sorting of different materials.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This device uses a snap-fit mechanism between the arc-shaped base and the support seat for fixing and separating, allowing for easy replacement of only the damaged parts after damage, thus reducing resource waste. The different angles of the inclined surfaces on both sides of the triangular convex ridge result in varying forces required for rotating and separating the bottle. The bottle bottom is made of stainless steel, reducing damage from impacts. Furthermore, the bottle bottom and support seat are secured by a bent component; when replacement is needed, simply repositioning the bent component allows for separation of the support seat and bottle bottom.

[0025] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.
[0026] This utility model describes a carbonated water bottle for a carbonated water machine. The main structure includes a bottle body 1, an arc-shaped base 3 at the bottom of the bottle body 1, and a detachable support 4 on the bottle bottom 2. The bottle body 1 is a container for holding drinking water, allowing the carbonated water machine to add carbon dioxide to the drinking water. The bottom of the bottle body 1 is arc-shaped, and a bottle bottom 2 is provided at the bottom of the bottle body 1 to allow it to be placed on a table. During use, it is necessary to ensure a stable connection between the bottle body 1 and the bottle bottom 2, and that they can be disassembled if either the bottle body 1 or the bottle bottom 2 is damaged. Therefore, to ensure a stable connection of the bottle body 1, an arc-shaped base 3 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the bottle body 1, and the arc-shaped base 3 is connected to the bottle body 1 by adhesive, preferably a UV-cured adhesive.
[0027] The top of the curved base 3 has an arc that matches the bottom of the bottle body 1, making the adhesion between the curved base 3 and the bottle body 1 more secure. Multiple snap-fit pieces 5 are provided on the outer side of the curved base 3, allowing it to be snapped and fixed to the support seat 4 on the bottle bottom 2 (details below). The interior of the curved base 3 is hollow, providing a larger contact area when connected to the support seat 4 and reducing the cost of injection molding. Because the curved base 3 and the bottle body 1 are fixedly connected, and to facilitate waste sorting in case of component damage, the curved base 3 and the bottle body 1 are injection molded from the same plastic material.
[0028] The support base 4 is detachably mounted on the bottle bottom 2, and the support base 4 is also provided with a slot 6 that matches the outer side of the curved base 3, so that the snap-fit part 5 and the slot 6 are snapped together and fixed (details below). Multiple strip grooves 9 are also provided on the support base 4, which are used to fix the bottle bottom 2 to the support base 4. A limiting member 12 that matches the curved base 3 is provided in the middle of the support base 4. The limiting member 12 increases the contact area with the curved base 3 and reduces the cost of the limiting member 12 during injection molding.
[0029] Multiple snap-fit pieces 5 on the outer side of the arc-shaped base 3 are adapted to multiple snap-fit slots 6 on the support base 4 and are snap-fitted and fixed (continued from above). The fixing process is as shown in the attached diagram of the instruction manual. Figure 3Alternatively, the snap-fit component 5 shown in Figure 4 is provided with a triangular protrusion 7, and the snap-fit groove 6 is provided with a matching triangular groove 8, so that the arc-shaped base 3 and the support 4 are rotatably snap-fitted and fixed. Since the two sides of the triangular protrusion 7 have different inclinations, the force required during the rotational fixing process is different from that during the rotational separation process. In addition, the support 4 is made of plastic, and the snap-fit groove 6 can produce slight elastic deformation, so that the triangular protrusion 7 can be fixed and separated by snap-fitting.
[0030] The support base 4 is also equipped with multiple circumferentially arranged slots 9. The slots 9 serve to fix the support base 4 to the bottle bottom 2. The bottle bottom 2 has a bending component 10 that fits into the slots 9. The bending component 10 is snapped into the slots 9, thus connecting the support base 4 and the bottle bottom 2. Due to the high manufacturing difficulty of the support base 4, it is manufactured using a one-piece injection molding method with a plastic mold to reduce production costs. To better protect the internal components and reduce the impact of bumps, the bottle bottom 2 is made of stainless steel. After the bending component 10 is bent, the bottle bottom 2 will have a hollow space. The bottom of the support base 4 is also equipped with a boss 11, which fits into the hollow space formed by the bending component 10, ensuring that the carbonated water bottle can be placed properly on the table. When the support base 4 needs to be separated from the bottle bottom 2, simply reset the bending component 10 to separate the support base 4 from the bottle bottom 2, thus meeting the requirements for waste sorting of different materials. Since the support base 4 also needs to be rotated and snapped with the arc-shaped base 3, the contact length between the bent part 10 and the inner bottom surface of the support base 4 should not be too long; it is only necessary to ensure that they snap together.
[0031] Detailed instructions for use:
[0032] The bottle body 1 and the curved base 3 of the carbonated water bottle are fixed together with glue, making them a single unit. Then, the support base 4 and the bottle bottom 2 are secured together with the bending piece 10. Finally, the curved base 3 and the support base 4 are fixed together by rotation. If the bottle body 1 or the bottle bottom 2 is damaged, simply rotate the bottle body 1 to separate the curved base 3 from the support base 4, and then replace the damaged part.
[0033] In summary, this device, through the snap-fit fixing and separation between the arc-shaped base 3 and the support base 4, allows for the replacement of only the damaged parts after damage, reducing resource waste. The different inclination angles of the two inclined surfaces on the triangular convex ridge 7 result in varying forces required for the rotation, fixing, and separation of the bottle body 1. The bottle bottom 2 is made of stainless steel, reducing damage from impacts. Furthermore, the bottle bottom 2 and the support base 4 are snap-fitted together by the bending component 10; when replacement is needed, simply repositioning the bending component 10 allows separation of the support base 4 from the bottle bottom 2.
