Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water cup technology, and in particular to a motor-driven active temperature-controlled anti-scalding straw cup. Background Technology
[0002] A sippy cup is a type of water cup with a built-in straw. However, unlike traditional water cups where the lid needs to be opened before drinking, it's difficult to notice the steam generated by the hot water inside. This can easily lead to scalding of the mouth when the water flows through the straw. To avoid scalding from the water in a sippy cup, structures that can detect water temperature and block the water flow have emerged, as shown in patents CN111772449A and CN209278494U. However, in existing water cups, the structure that blocks the water flow through the straw is mostly located inside the cup, which means a very strict waterproof structure is required. Furthermore, the internal blocking structure can interfere with brewing and cleaning, causing inconvenience. Therefore, there is a need for a motor-driven, actively temperature-controlled, anti-scalding straw cup located inside the lid. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a motor-driven, active temperature-controlled, anti-scalding straw cup.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following solution: A motor-driven, actively temperature-controlled, anti-scalding straw cup includes a cup body and a lid, the lid being detachably mounted on the opening of the cup body. The cup body further includes a control module, a temperature sensing module, a clamping module, and a straw, wherein the straw passes through a through-hole in the lid and enters the cup body. The control module and clamping module are located inside the lid, and the control module is electrically connected to both the clamping module and the temperature sensing module. The clamping module is located around the straw inside the lid and is used to press the straw firmly. The temperature sensing module is located at the bottom of the lid, near the cup body, and is used to collect the temperature inside the cup body.
[0005] Furthermore, the straw is a two-section straw, wherein the straw located at the bottom of the cup lid facing into the cup body is the first section of the straw; the straw inside the cup lid and the straw located at the outside of the cup lid are the second section of the straw; a tubular connector connecting the inside and outside is provided at the bottom of the cup lid; the first section of the straw is sleeved on the end of the tubular connector facing into the cup body; the second section of the straw is sleeved on the end of the tubular structure facing into the cup lid.
[0006] Furthermore, the outer surface of the second straw is provided with an inverted conical structure, which abuts against the inner surface of the cup lid located at the top.
[0007] Furthermore, the second straw is made of food-grade soft rubber material.
[0008] Furthermore, the clamping module includes a motor, a screw, and a sliding block; wherein the motor is connected to the screw via a drive; the screw is threadedly connected to the sliding block, and the sliding block also slides in cooperation with a sliding limiting component fixed inside the cup lid; the screw is oriented perpendicular to the axis of the straw inside the cup lid; and the sliding block is positioned close to the straw.
[0009] Furthermore, a gear reduction mechanism is provided between the motor and the screw.
[0010] Furthermore, the screw is rotatably positioned between two fixed blocks, which are fixedly positioned inside the cup lid; a slide plate is also provided between the two fixed blocks, the slide plate is provided with a raised slide bar that slides with the sliding block, and the sliding block is provided with a recessed hole that matches the slide bar.
[0011] Furthermore, the straw passes through the area between the screw and the slide plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the control module includes an indicator, a controller, and a power supply, wherein the indicator and the power supply are respectively connected to the controller.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a clamping module inside the cup lid to clamp the straw that passes through the inside of the cup lid, the clamping module is isolated from the water flow inside the straw, eliminating the need for a separate waterproof structure. On the other hand, the clamping of the straw can be controlled to block the water flow inside the straw. Finally, the structure of the cup body is not changed, and the brewing and cleaning operations of the cup body are not affected. By designing the straw as a two-section straw, it is easy to achieve waterproofing between the side of the cup lid facing the cup body and the inside of the cup lid; By setting an inverted conical structure on the second straw that engages with the cup lid, the second straw is prevented from being easily pulled out of the cup lid, ensuring a stable connection between the second straw and the tubular connector. By setting the structure of the clamping module, the sliding block can be controlled to clamp or release the straw. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0016] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0017] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the figures only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0018] Example 1: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a motor 51-driven active temperature-controlled anti-scalding straw cup 6 includes a cup body 1 and a cup lid 2, with the cup lid 2 detachably mounted at the opening of the cup body 1. The cup is characterized by further including a control module 3, a temperature sensing module 4, a clamping module 5, and a straw 6. The straw 6 passes through a through hole in the cup lid 2 into the interior of the cup body 1. The control module 3 and the clamping module 5 are located inside the cup lid 2, and the control module 3 is electrically connected to both the clamping module 5 and the temperature sensing module 4. The clamping module 5 is located around the straw 6 inside the cup lid 2 and is used to press the straw 6 firmly. The temperature sensing module 4 is located at the bottom of the cup lid 2, near the side of the cup body 1, and is used to collect the temperature inside the cup body 1. By placing the clamping module 5 inside the cup lid 2, the water flow is isolated from the components inside the cup lid 2 by the straw 6, preventing direct contact between the two. Furthermore, controlling the clamping module 5 to clamp the straw 6 can achieve the purpose of blocking the water flow in the straw 6.
[0019] The straw 6 is a two-section straw 6, wherein the straw 6 located at the bottom of the cup lid 2 facing the inside of the cup body 1 is the first section straw 61; the straw 6 inside the cup lid 2 and located at the outside of the cup lid 2 are the second section straw 62; a tubular connector 21 connecting the inside and outside is provided at the bottom of the cup lid 2; the first section straw 61 is sleeved on the end of the tubular connector 21 facing the inside of the cup body 1; the second section straw 62 is sleeved on the end of the tubular structure facing the inside of the cup lid 2; the purpose of providing a two-section straw 6 is also to facilitate waterproofing, reduce waterproofing costs, and create an isolation between the two sides of the bottom surface of the cup lid 2. The outer surface of the second straw 62 is also provided with an inverted conical structure 63. The inverted conical structure 63 abuts against the inner surface of the cup lid 2 located at the top, preventing the second straw 62 from being easily pulled out of the cup lid 2, thus separating it from the tubular connector 21. It should be noted that the second straw 62 is made of food-grade soft rubber material, which on the one hand makes it easy to be clamped by the clamping module 5 to block the water flow, and on the other hand makes it easy to drink from the part exposed from the cup lid 2.
[0020] The clamping module 5 includes a motor 51, a screw 52, and a sliding block 53; the motor 51 is connected to the screw 52 in a driving connection; the screw 52 is threadedly connected to the sliding block 53, and the sliding block 53 also slides with a sliding limiter fixed inside the cup lid 2; the screw 52 is perpendicular to the axis of the straw 6 inside the cup lid 2; the sliding block 53 is positioned close to the straw 6. A gear reduction mechanism 54 is provided between the motor 51 and the screw 52. In this example, because the size and output power of the motor 51 are very small, a gear reduction mechanism 54 is needed to increase the torque; some micro motors 51 have a built-in gear reduction mechanism 54, such as the existing Kechen GM12-N20VA model micro geared motor 51, whose overall size is only 24mm × 12mm. It should be noted that the cooperation between the screw 52 and the sliding block 53 can accurately control the movement path of the sliding block 53, such as partial compression and full compression. The degree of partial compression, that is, the compression stroke, can be correlated with the temperature sensed by the temperature sensing module 4 in the existing way.
[0021] The screw 52 is rotatably positioned between two fixed blocks, which are fixedly located inside the cup lid 2. A slide plate 55 is also provided between the two fixed blocks, and the slide plate 55 has a raised slide strip 56 that slides with the sliding block 53. It should be noted that the length direction of the slide is parallel to the axis of the screw 52. The sliding block 53 has a recessed hole that matches the slide strip 56. After the recessed hole on the sliding block 53 is inserted into the slide strip 56 on the slide plate 55, the sliding block 53 slides along the slide. In this example, the straw 6 passes through the area between the screw 52 and the slide plate 55. Thus, in conjunction with the fixed blocks and the sliding block 53, the straw 6 is surrounded on all four sides, preventing it from sliding freely when squeezed, achieving a stable squeezing and blocking effect.
[0022] The control module 3 includes an indicator, a controller, and a power supply, wherein the indicator and the power supply are respectively connected to the controller; the power supply provides power to the controller, the temperature sensing module 4, and the clamping module 5; the indicator is used to display temperature information in conjunction with the temperature collected by the temperature sensing module 4, wherein the indicator can be an LED light group or a display screen. For example, in one embodiment, the LED light group in the indicator is set to green for water temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius, yellow for water temperatures between 40 and 50 degrees Celsius, and red for water temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius. It should be noted that the correlation between the indicator and the temperature is controlled using existing methods. In this example, the power supply uses a rechargeable lithium battery, and the charging interface of the power supply is located on the outer side of the cup lid 2, and the charging interface is connected to the controller.
[0023] During implementation, by setting a clamping module 5 inside the cup lid 2 to clamp the straw 6 passing through the inside of the cup lid 2, on the one hand, the water flow inside the clamping module 5 and the straw 6 is isolated, eliminating the need for a separate waterproof structure. On the other hand, the clamping of the straw 6 can be controlled to block the water flow inside the straw 6. Finally, the structure of the cup body 1 is not changed, and the brewing and cleaning operations of the cup body 1 are not affected. By setting the straw 6 to be a two-section straw 6, it is convenient to achieve waterproof isolation between the side of the cup lid 2 facing the cup body 1 and the inside of the cup lid 2. By setting an inverted conical structure 63 on the second section of the straw 62 to engage with the cup lid 2, it is prevented from being easily pulled out of the cup lid 2, ensuring a stable connection between the second section of the straw 62 and the tubular connector 21. By setting the structure of the clamping module 5, the sliding block 53 can be controlled to clamp or release the straw 6.
[0024] The above description is merely a specific example of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Obviously, those skilled in the art, after understanding the content and principle of this utility model, may make various modifications and changes in form and details without departing from the principle and structure of this utility model. However, these modifications and changes based on the concept of this utility model are still within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
