Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water cup technology, and in particular to a mate tea cup. Background Technology
[0002] Unlike traditional green and black teas, yerba mate requires about half the volume of tea leaves in the cup to be consumed, resulting in a larger quantity of tea leaves. Current yerba mate cups have an open design, where the tea leaves and liquid are mixed together. To drink, a straw with a filter at the bottom is used. However, when cleaning these straws, the straw brush cannot pass through the bottom from the top, leading to tea stains accumulating inside the straw over time, resulting in poor hygiene. Furthermore, the open design of the cup makes it easy for the tea to spill.
[0003] The technical solution of the Chinese utility model patent with application number 201920614796.8 and titled "A cup lid and cup capable of separating tea and water" involves a filter screen cover on one side of the cup lid, with a through hole for a straw to pass through. The filter screen is installed below the filter screen cover and also has a through hole for the straw to pass through, with the straw inserted into the bottom of the cup. This achieves separation of tea leaves from tea and water, and hot water can be added to the cup through the filter screen cover. However, when using this cup, since the straw needs to be inserted into the cup body through the filter screen cover, adding hot water requires removing the straw first, which is not only cumbersome but also unhygienic. When the straw is reinserted into the cup body, it is easily blocked by tea leaves in the filter screen, causing inconvenience to the user.
[0004] Given the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the applicant believes it is necessary to make technical improvements to provide a more convenient and hygienic mate cup. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and shortcomings by providing a semi-open integrated mate tea cup structure with a filter. This structure features a water inlet / outlet and a straw insertion hole in the left and right functional areas of the lid, respectively. A stopper is placed above the water inlet / outlet to seal it. This allows for easy and hygienic use without removing the straw; water can be added through the water inlet / outlet by opening the stopper. It also prevents tea leaves from clogging the straw. Furthermore, the stopper is attached to the raised edge, making opening and closing the stopper very convenient.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a semi-open filter-integrated mate tea cup structure includes a cup body with a built-in filter, a cup lid placed on the cup body, and a straw; characterized in that: the top surface of the cup lid is divided into left and right functional areas, the left functional area is a water filling and pouring opening opened on the cup lid, and the right functional area is a plane with a tube hole for inserting the straw; the left functional area is also provided with a left arc-shaped blocking part and a right arc-shaped blocking part, and a water pouring drainage notch is formed at the intersection of the left arc-shaped blocking part and the right arc-shaped blocking part; the cup lid is also provided with a convex edge that surrounds the left arc-shaped blocking part and the right arc-shaped blocking part; it also includes a pair of cap plugs that form a sealed cover for the water filling and pouring opening, the two sides of the cap plugs are respectively hinged to the left arc-shaped blocking part and the right arc-shaped blocking part, and the middle part of the cap plug is embedded in the water pouring drainage notch and fastened to the convex edge.
[0007] Furthermore, the water filling and pouring opening is a semi-circular opening, and the cap is correspondingly made into a semi-circular shape.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model provides a semi-open integrated mate tea cup structure with filter and suction, including a cup body 1 with a built-in filter cup 3, a cup lid 2 placed on the cup body 1, and a straw 4; to achieve the purpose proposed by this utility model, the top surface of the cup lid 2 is divided into left and right functional areas. The left functional area is an open spout 21 for adding or pouring water on the cup lid 2, and the right functional area is a plane 23 with a tube hole 22 for inserting the straw 4; the left functional area is also provided with a left arc-shaped baffle 24 and... The right arc-shaped enclosure 25 has a water-draining notch 26 formed at the intersection of the left arc-shaped enclosure 24 and the right arc-shaped enclosure 25; the cup lid 2 is also provided with a convex edge 27 that surrounds the left arc-shaped enclosure 24 and the right arc-shaped enclosure 25; it also includes a cap plug 5 that forms a sealed cover with a pair of water-filling and water-pouring openings 21, the two sides of the cap plug 5 are respectively hinged to the left arc-shaped enclosure 24 and the right arc-shaped enclosure 25, and the middle part of the cap plug 5 is embedded in the water-draining notch 26 and fastened to the convex edge 27.
[0024] In this way, the water filling / pouring opening 21 and the stopper 5 are located in the left half of the functional area of the lid 2, while the straw 4 is independently located in the right half of the functional area of the lid 2. The straw 4 does not affect the opening or closing of the stopper 5, making it more convenient to use, especially suitable for the drinking habit of mate tea that requires frequent water filling; at the same time, it can also prevent tea leaves from clogging the straw 4, improving the user experience. The left arc-shaped barrier 24 and the right arc-shaped barrier 25 form a semi-enclosed protection for the stopper 5, effectively preventing it from being contaminated or bumped, thereby improving the hygiene and durability of the stopper 5.
[0025] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown, in order to make the water filling and pouring opening 21 have good structural strength and a large flow area, the water filling and pouring opening 21 is a semi-circular opening, and the cap 5 is correspondingly made into a semi-circular shape.
[0026] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 7, the stopper 5 is composed of an integrally formed bottom plug protrusion 51, a top cover 52, an extension 53, and a snap-on edge 54. The bottom plug protrusion 51 is embedded in the water filling / pouring opening 21, the extension 53 is embedded in the water draining notch 26, and the snap-on edge 54 is fastened to the protruding edge 27. Thus, the top cover 52 covers the water filling / pouring opening 21 and is enclosed between the left arc-shaped retaining part 24 and the right arc-shaped retaining part 25; simultaneously, the bottom plug protrusion 51, embedded in the water filling / pouring opening 21, forms a seal, and the extension 53, embedded in the water draining notch 26, covers it and prevents dust from falling into the water draining notch 26; the snap-on edge 54, fastened to the protruding edge 27, positions the stopper 5 on the cup lid 2. Pressing or prying the snap-on edge 54 closes or opens the stopper 5. The assembly structure of the stopper 5 and the cup lid 2 is very compact.
[0027] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown, in order to enable the cover plug 5 to be hinged to the left arc-shaped enclosure 24 and the right arc-shaped enclosure 25, the two sides of the cover 52 are respectively provided with hinge shafts 521, and the sides of the left arc-shaped enclosure 24 and the right arc-shaped enclosure 25 are respectively provided with hinge holes 50 for the hinge shafts 521 to pass through.
[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 7, the snap-on portion 54 has a U-shaped structure, and a pry-open protrusion 541 is also provided on the outer surface of the snap-on portion 54. The cap 5 is preferably made of PP material. This U-shaped structure gives the snap-on portion 54 excellent elasticity, allowing it to be firmly fastened to the protrusion 27 using the rebound force of the U-shaped structure, ensuring excellent sealing performance when the cap 5 is closed. By prying open the pry-open protrusion 541, the contact area between the hand and the snap-on portion 54 is increased, making it very easy to open the cap 5. To further improve operational comfort, a recess 271 is also provided in the middle of the protrusion 27. The snap-on portion 54 fits into the recess 271, allowing fingers to be inserted into the recess 271 when opening the cap 5, further increasing the contact area between the hand and the pry-open protrusion 541 and further improving the comfort of opening the cap.
[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, the raised edge 27 extends into an integrally formed low edge 28 along the outer edge of the right half of the functional area. This low edge 28 increases the contact area between the cup lid 2 and the hand, making it more comfortable to open or assemble the cup lid. At the same time, the low edge 28 does not obstruct the action of the mouth holding the straw 4.
[0030] like Figure 6 , 8 As shown, the filter cup 3 has an external thread on its top outer side, and the cup lid 2 has an internal thread on its bottom inner side. The filter cup 3 and the cup lid 2 are assembled together by a threaded connection. Thus, when the filter cup 3 and the cup lid 2 are assembled together, and then assembled onto the cup body 1, the filter cup 3 is positioned in the upper middle part of the cup body 1, forming an independent filtration chamber. Tea leaves are placed inside the filter cup 3, and water injected into the cup body 1 permeates through the filter cup 3 to the bottom of the cup body 1, effectively separating the tea leaves from the tea water. Furthermore, the water inlet 21 on the top surface of the cup lid 2 is connected to the filter cup 3, allowing tea leaves to be added to the filter cup 3 through the water inlet 21, making it more convenient to use.
[0031] like Figure 4 , 6As shown, the bottom outer side of the lid 2 is provided with external threads, and the top of the cup body 1 is provided with internal threads. The lid 2 and the cup body 1 are assembled together by a threaded connection. In this way, the filter cup 3 and the cup body 1 are screwed to the inner and outer sides of the lid 2 respectively, making the entire mate tea cup structure very compact, which helps to improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the cup.
[0032] like Figure 8 As shown, the filter cup 3 is also provided with a through hole 31 for the straw 4 to pass through at a position relative to the tube hole 22. In this way, after the straw 4 passes through the filter cup 3 and extends into the bottom of the cup body 1, the outer diameter of the filter cup 3 can be only slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cup body 1, so that the volume of the filter cup 3 is maximized, thereby accommodating more tea leaves and meeting the drinking habits of mate tea.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, sealing gaskets 40 are also fitted on the through hole 22 and the through hole 31, so that no water will leak out of the cup body through the through hole 22, ensuring the safety of this utility model; the through hole 31 can prevent tea dust from leaking to the bottom of the cup body 1, ensuring the thorough separation of tea leaves and tea water.
[0034] like Figure 1 , 4 As shown, a heat-resistant sleeve 11 is also fitted on the outer wall of the cup body 1. In order to prevent the heat-resistant sleeve 11 from slipping off, an annular groove 12 is provided on the outer wall of the cup body 1 for the heat-resistant sleeve 11 to be fitted.
[0035] In this invention, the cup lid 2, the filter cup 3, and the straw 4 are all independently detachable structures, making them easier and more hygienic to clean, and better meeting the needs of healthy eating.
