[0019] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a disposable paper cup, including a cup body 1, a cup bottom 2, a cup mouth 3, a detachable filter structure 4, and a graduated transparent strip 5. The cup bottom 2 and the cup mouth 3 are respectively located at the lower end and the upper end of the cup body 1, and the cup bottom 2 and the cup mouth 3 are fixed to the cup body 1 by a hot pressing process. The detachable filter structure 4 is movably installed in the lower part of the cup body 1, and a cavity is formed between the detachable filter structure 4 and the cup bottom 2. The graduated transparent strip 5 is set on the cup body 1, and the graduated transparent strip 5 is set along the height direction of the cup body 1.

[0020] The cup bottom 2 and cup mouth 3 are connected to the cup body 1 using a hot-pressing process, which strengthens the joint between the cup body 1 and the cup bottom 2 and cup mouth 3, preventing liquid leakage. The graduated transparent strip 5 makes it easy to observe the water volume when pouring water, strictly controlling the amount of water poured into the cup. The detachable filter structure 4 is placed at the bottom of the paper cup, and the cavity between it and the cup bottom 2 can hold Chinese medicine, realizing the brewing of Chinese medicine and enjoying hot water containing Chinese medicine ingredients. The cup mouth 3 adopts a double-layer rolled edge structure, and a flexible sealing ring is provided at the rolled edge. When two paper cups are stacked, a gap is formed to prevent vacuum adsorption from causing adhesion.

[0021] The cup body 1 includes a middle heat insulation layer 11, a waterproof inner layer 12, and a paper outer layer 13. The waterproof inner layer 12, the middle heat insulation layer 11, and the paper outer layer 13 are sequentially bonded together from the inside out, and the middle heat insulation layer 11 adopts a honeycomb structure.

[0022] The middle heat insulation layer 11 is made of foam material, the waterproof inner layer 12 is made of polylactic acid waterproof coating, and the paper outer layer 13 is made of biodegradable cardboard. The cup body 1 adopts a three-layer structure, which enhances the structure of the cup body 1 and can effectively insulate heat, effectively slow down heat loss, and maintain the temperature of hot drinks for a longer period of time, reducing the risk of scalding.

[0023] A thermochromic layer 14 is provided on the outer surface of the paper outer layer 13, and the outer surface of the thermochromic layer 14 is provided with an anti-slip embossed texture.

[0024] When the temperature inside the cup exceeds 45°C, the color of the outer wall of the thermochromic layer 14 changes from light to dark, alerting the user to the heat. The anti-slip embossed texture increases the anti-slip performance, allowing the user to grip the paper cup better.

[0025] The cup bottom 2 includes a waterproof layer 21, a buffer layer 22, and a load-bearing layer 23, which are sequentially attached from top to bottom.

[0026] The bottom of the cup has a three-layer structure, which enhances the paper cup's load-bearing capacity, prevents deformation under pressure, and effectively prevents the paper cup from deforming due to thermal expansion and contraction when filled with hot drinks.

Hot water is poured into the paper cup and comes into contact with the Chinese medicine or tea to obtain a hot drink containing Chinese medicine or tea ingredients.

[0031] Working principle: See Figures 1-3 As shown, hot water is poured into a paper cup. The amount of water can be observed through the graduated transparent strip 5 while pouring, and the amount of water poured into the cup can be strictly controlled. The thermosensitive color-changing layer 14 is a special coating that can change color according to temperature changes. When the temperature inside the cup is higher than 45℃, the color of the thermosensitive color-changing layer 14 changes, and the color of the outer wall of the paper cup changes from light to dark. Users can judge the water temperature by the color, so as to avoid scalding the user by drinking water that is too hot.

[0032] See Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, users can install the detachable filter structure 4 according to their needs. If they need to brew Chinese medicine or tea, they can first add the Chinese medicine or tea to the bottom of the paper cup, and then put the detachable filter structure 4 into the paper cup. The lower end of the support rod 43 contacts the bottom 2 of the cup, covering the Chinese medicine or tea. After pouring in hot water, the hot water passes through the filter mesh 42 and comes into contact with the Chinese medicine or tea, resulting in a hot drink containing Chinese medicine or tea ingredients.

[0033] The above is the entire working process of the device, and all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
