Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage bottle technology, and in particular to a modular condiment bottle that can be combined with other beverage bottle bodies. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, the use of condiments is not limited to kitchen cooking; they are also widely used in beverage preparation, outdoor picnics, and travel. While some condiment bottle designs exist on the market that utilize detachable caps or dividers to meet combination needs, many existing condiment bottles are integrated with the bottle body, serving as part of a larger container rather than independent holding units. Other existing modular solutions typically involve two sealed bottles fixed together, stacked and secured, without any connection between them. For example, prior art document CN2771115Y discloses two bottles with separate volumes, each capable of storing beverages of different colors and flavors, facilitating purchase, consumption, and portability. Prior art document CN216103340U discloses a first and second bottle body equipped with caps for easy disassembly and independent use. Prior art document CN204548764U allows multiple bottles to be combined using screw-in and interlocking methods to expand capacity and secure the bottle. These modular bottles achieve space-saving, convenient storage, and easy organization.

[0003] However, this type of solution only enables the disassembly and fixing of beverage bottles, and does not fully realize the combined function, which limits the expansion of its application scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a combined condiment bottle to address the above-mentioned problems and overcome the limitations of existing condiment bottles used in conjunction with other containers.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following solution:

[0006] A modular condiment bottle includes a bottle body and a lower cap connected to the bottom of the bottle body. A detachable top disc is provided on the top surface of the lower cap. The lower cap contains a bottle opening channel, and the top disc is positioned within the area enclosed by the bottle opening channel and the lower cap. Due to this structure, the size of the top disc is set within the diameter of the bottle opening channel, sealing the channel and enabling the condiment bottle to function independently or in conjunction with other functions. When the outer bottle opening is screwed in, the thin-walled ring deforms and breaks under pressure, causing the top disc to flip upwards.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottle has an opening at the bottom and a connector along the lower edge of the outer wall. The lower cap includes a boss and an annular groove surrounding the boss. The front of the boss is an outwardly protruding plane, forming a closed space with the inner wall of the bottle. The back of the boss is an empty space. An annular groove is provided around the outer perimeter of the front of the boss, with the groove opening facing upward and connecting to the bottle. Due to the above structure, the lower cap boss is embedded in the bottle and sealed to the bottle through the annular groove, allowing the lower cap of the condiment bottle to be detachably connected. The lower cap and the bottle together form an internal closed space.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottle neck channel is located within the internal space and is fixedly connected to the back of the boss. A top circular piece is positioned on the boss and at the top of the bottle neck channel, with the diameter of the top circular piece being less than or equal to the diameter of the bottle neck channel. Due to this structure, the top of the bottle neck channel is sealed by the top circular piece, and the top circular piece is on the same plane as the front of the boss.

[0009] Furthermore, the top disc and the boss are either detachably connected or have at least one unbreakable connection point. Due to this structure, the top disc can not only completely separate from the boss but also partially break off from it, ensuring a connection point when the top disc detaches, thus reducing the amount of debris that can be recycled.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner space is formed by the inner wall of the lower cover, the back of the boss, and the lower end face of the lower cover.

[0011] Furthermore, a thin-walled ring is provided at the connection between the top disc and the lower cover. Due to the above structure, the thin-walled ring reduces the thickness, ensuring that the disc can be effectively compressed during the twisting process.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the bottle neck channel is provided with a lower cap thread, allowing the bottle neck channel to adapt to the external bottle neck. Due to the above structure, the thread of the bottle neck channel extends to the back of the boss, making it easier for the external bottle neck to crush the thin-walled ring at the end of the thread.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottle body also includes a bottle neck, with a cap attached to the bottle neck.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower cap also has an outer wall protrusion ring, which is located at the connection between the boss and the ring groove or on the outer wall of the boss. Due to the above structure, the outer wall protrusion ring acts as a sealing ring, increasing the sealing performance between the ring groove and the bottle body.

[0015] Furthermore, the lower end face of the cover is sealed with a sealing film. Due to the above structure, the sealing film is adhered to the lower end face of the cover, sealing the bottom opening of the inner space, thus preventing dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the cover and causing contamination.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. This dual-purpose condiment bottle can be used alone or attached to the mouth of other beverage bottles to mix with other drinks, increasing its usability.

[0018] 2. Each bottle can be produced in a standardized manner, resulting in high production efficiency. Modular condiment bottles reduce the need for complex internal structural designs or integrated, complex molds, thereby significantly saving production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0019] 3. The bottom tail cavity and the beverage bottle body are molded in one piece, which is simple in structure and easy to implement. Attached Figure Description
