[0036] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0037] Example 1: The specific structure of this utility model is as follows:

[0038] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-4 The present invention relates to a portable collapsible bottle with an inflatable structure, comprising:

[0039] The foldable bottle body 7 comprises one of a waterproof cloth, a waterproof film, or a silicone bottle body. The waterproof cloth or film is folded and compressed into a wrinkled shape, and when unfolded, wrinkled imprints are visible on the surface. Both the waterproof cloth and the waterproof film are made of food-grade materials. Specifically, the waterproof cloth is made of a composite airtight material, and the waterproof film is made of one of a thermoplastic material, a composite airtight material, or silicone. The thermoplastic material includes one of PA, PE, PP, or TPE. The silicone bottle body is folded and compressed into a wrinkled shape, or the silicone bottle body is configured as a continuous folded layer structure with alternating concave and convex sections.

[0040] The support tube 8 is spirally wound around the bottle body 7. The support tube 8 is inflated by air and radially compressed after being evacuated. The upper end of the support tube 8 is closed. When the support tube 8 is inflated, it acts like a spring structure, providing support and stretching the bottle body 7. The structure of the support tube 8 after inflation is sufficient to stretch the bottle body 7 to form a cup.

[0041] A base 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the bottle body 7. The base 10 has a chamber connected to the lower end of the support pipe 8 and an inflation pipe 12 located on the side of the base 10 and communicating with the chamber.

[0042] A rotatable cap 6 is fitted onto the upper side of the bottle body 7. The cap 6 can be connected to the base 10, and after the cap 6 and the base 10 are connected, a receiving space is formed between them. This receiving space can accommodate the folded bottle body 7 and the exhaust support pipe 8. Preferably, the base 10 and the cap 6 are connected by either a snap-fit ​​connection or a threaded connection. Taking a threaded connection as an example... Figure 1 As shown, the base 10 is provided with a first external thread 9, and the cover 6 is provided with a first internal thread 5. The first internal thread 5 and the first external thread 9 are threaded together so that the cover 6 is screwed onto the base 10.

[0043] Bottle cap connector 3, which is fixed to the upper end of the bottle body 7 and is sealed to the bottle body 7, and the through cavity of the bottle cap connector 3 is connected to the cavity of the bottle body 7;

[0044] A bottle cap 1 is connected to the bottle cap connecting seat 3 and can close the cavity. The bottle cap connecting seat 3 and the bottle cap 1 can be connected by either a snap-fit ​​connection or a threaded connection. Taking a threaded connection as an example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the bottle cap connecting seat 3 is provided with a second external thread 4, and the bottle cap 1 is provided with a second internal thread 2. The second external thread 4 and the second internal thread 2 are threadedly connected, so that the bottle cap 1 is tightened onto the bottle cap connecting seat 3.

[0045] The outer edge of the support pipe 8, and the adjacent upper and lower pipes, stick together after being inflated to form a supporting force, making the entire cup more stable.

[0046] The outer end of the inflation tube 12 is equipped with a check valve or a rubber cap that can seal the inflation end. The rubber cap is connected to the side of the inflation end by a rubber strip. When the outer end of the inflation tube 12 is equipped with a check valve, air can be blown into the inflation end manually to inflate the support tube 8 and form a spring-type support structure. The bottle body 7 is supported to form a cup body. The bottle cap 1 is then opened to add water into the cup body.

[0047] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the bottom surface 11 of the base 10 is provided with a slot 15 for winding the inflation tube 12. The starting point of the slot 15 is a connecting hole, which communicates with the support pipe 8. The slot 15 has a disc-shaped linear groove structure. The end of the disc-shaped linear groove is provided with a side groove 14 for locking the end of the inflation tube 12; the end of the inflation tube 12 is provided with an air nozzle 16, and a protruding buckle 13 is provided on the tube body near the air nozzle 16. The protruding buckle 13 is engaged with the side groove 14 to achieve fastening and fixation.

[0048] When the portable folding bottle of this utility model is needed, take out the inflation tube 12, blow air to make the support tube 8 bulge, and the support tube 8 supports the bottle body 7 after it bulges. The bottle body 7 unfolds to form a cup-shaped structure.

[0049] Example 2:

[0050] The support pipe 8 is fixed to the bottle body 7 by high melting point adhesive. Since the water temperature in the bottle body 7 will not exceed 100 degrees Celsius, epoxy resin is selected as the high melting point adhesive. Epoxy resin will only soften at temperatures above 120 degrees Celsius, so it is not affected by water temperature.

[0051] In summary, this utility model provides stable and reliable support: the spiral structure of the support pipe, when inflated, resembles a spring structure, providing strong and uniform support to the bottle body, effectively preventing deformation and collapse of the bottle body after being filled with liquid, ensuring stability during use, and improving the user experience.

[0052] This invention features a compact folding design: the support tube can be radially compressed after venting, and combined with the foldable bottle body, the entire folding bottle can be significantly reduced in size when not in use. Furthermore, the folded bottle body and the vented support tube can be neatly stored in the storage space formed by the cap and base, greatly saving space when carrying it, making it especially suitable for travel, sports, and other scenarios requiring lightweight travel.

[0053] This invention boasts excellent sealing performance: the cap connector is sealed to the bottle body, and the cap and connector are connected by a snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, effectively preventing liquid leakage. A check valve or rubber cap is installed at the inflation tube, ensuring not only the airtightness of the support tube but also preventing external dust and impurities from entering, thus keeping the inside of the cup clean.

[0054] This invention is convenient and efficient to operate: the base and cap are connected by a snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, facilitating quick and easy storage and retrieval of the folded components; the snap-fit ​​or threaded connection between the bottle cap and the cap connector also makes opening and closing the cap more convenient. The inflation tube design allows for direct manual inflation without additional tools, making the inflation process simple and quick; moreover, the inflation tube can be stored in the slot on the bottom of the base, avoiding the problem of messy tubing.

[0055] This utility model has a wide range of applications: the bottle body is made of waterproof cloth, waterproof film or silicone material, which is lightweight and has good water resistance, and can be used to hold water, beverages and other liquids.

[0056] The structure of this utility model is reasonably designed: the use of high melting point adhesive ensures the firmness of the connection between the support pipe and the bottle body, and is not affected by water temperature, thus extending the service life of the product.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
