Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water cups, and more particularly to a water pipe support and its atomizing water cup. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, water bottles offer increasingly diverse auxiliary functions, among which those with atomizing functions are particularly popular due to their ability to cool, humidify, and moisturize the skin. Electric atomizing water bottles, in particular, are widely used because of their ease of operation. However, existing electric atomizing water bottles still have many shortcomings in their design and use.

[0003] In the field of atomized water cups, several patented technologies have attempted to address these issues. For example, patent CN118177574A discloses an atomized water cup with a concealed water supply tube. This utility model, through its concealed water supply tube design, places the water supply tube within the vacuum layer between the bottle body and the inner liner, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional atomized water cups that require carrying long water pipes, and effectively reducing the probability of secondary contamination during disassembly and water filling. Simultaneously, this utility model also employs an innovative sealing structure. Through a water supply ring with a water supply groove and a sealing ring with a mating groove, a seal is formed when the main cap is screwed onto the bottle mouth, ensuring the bottle mouth's airtightness.

[0004] However, despite the innovations made by CN118177574A in terms of water supply pipe design and sealing structure, there are still some shortcomings, mainly stemming from the design of its built-in water pipe: Difficult to clean: Although the exposed portion is reduced because the water supply pipe is built into the vacuum layer between the bottle body and the inner liner, it is still tightly connected to the internal structure of the bottle body during actual use. This design requires disassembling multiple parts for cleaning, making the operation relatively cumbersome and difficult to thoroughly clean the inside of the water supply pipe, which can easily breed bacteria and affect the user's health.

[0005] The manufacturing process is complex: the design of the built-in water pipe requires high-precision molds and complex processing techniques to ensure the precise fit and sealing between the water supply pipe and components such as the bottle body and inner liner. This not only increases manufacturing costs but also extends the production cycle, hindering large-scale production and promotion of the product.

[0006] Additional sealing structures are required: Because of the built-in water pipes, older products required additional sealing rings and water supply rings to achieve water supply. These additional sealing structures not only increased the complexity and manufacturing cost of the product, but could also lead to problems such as leaks or unstable water supply due to poor sealing, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-11 The embodiments of this utility model are specifically illustrated. The accompanying drawings are for reference and illustration only and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of patent protection of this utility model.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-5 , the top of the bottle body 1 is hollowed out, and a water pipe bracket is assembled at the bottle opening of the bottle body 1. The water pipe bracket comprises a first fitting ring 211 and a second fitting ring 212, the second fitting ring 212 is located inside the first fitting ring 211, and the first fitting ring 211 and the second fitting ring 212 are connected by a plurality of connecting ribs 213; meanwhile, the water pipe is fitted at the central position of the second fitting ring 212, and one end of the water pipe 22 extends to the bottom of the inner container of the bottle body 1.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-3 , in this embodiment, the water pipe bracket 2 is directly clamped on the inner wall of the bottle opening by means of interference fit, that is, the clamping connection between the first fitting ring 211 and the inner wall of the bottle opening is realized through interference fit therebetween; and it is simultaneously ensured that the water pipe 22 and the center of the bottle opening are located on the same central axis.

[0038] In another embodiment, the water pipe bracket 2 is assembled with the bottle opening by buckling on the edge of the bottle opening, that is, the cross-section structure of the first fitting ring 211 is a "冂"-shaped structure (see Figure 4-5 ), which is directly sleeved on the edge of the bottle opening. Of course, if an external thread is provided on the edge of the bottle opening, a corresponding internal thread can also be provided on the inner wall of the "冂"-shaped structure of the first fitting ring 211, and in this case, the first fitting ring 211 is assembled on the edge of the bottle opening by means of rotational threaded connection; it should be noted that the above discussion is only a preferred example of the assembling method of the water pipe bracket 2 and the bottle body 1, but does not mean to limit the assembling method thereof. A person skilled in the art can also realize the connection therebetween by means of snap connection, clamping slot fit and other methods, and the key point is to ensure that the water pipe 22 is located at the center of the bottle opening.

[0039] The beneficial effect is that: the water pipe bracket 2 is assembled with the bottle body 1 by means of interference fit or buckling on the edge of the bottle opening, and both of these assembling methods make the installation process simpler and faster. A user can complete the installation of the water pipe bracket 2 without complicated operations, which improves the convenience of use.

[0040] Meanwhile, these assembling methods also ensure the stable connection between the water pipe bracket 2 and the bottle body 1. The interference fit realizes tight connection by utilizing the elastic deformation of materials, while the method of buckling on the edge of the bottle opening realizes stable fixation through a mechanical structure. These designs effectively prevent the water pipe bracket 2 from loosening or falling off during use, and improve the stability of the product.

[0041] By precisely positioning the water pipe 22 at the center of the bottle opening, this invention ensures that the water pipe 22 remains accurately aligned with the water supply channel 3114 regardless of how the lid 3 rotates. This design completely solves the problem of poor water supply or leakage caused by the rotation of the lid 3 in traditional atomizing water cups, achieving true all-around water supply. The improved water supply stability eliminates the need for users to manually adjust the lid 3 when drinking or using the atomizing function, greatly enhancing convenience and comfort.

[0042] In one embodiment, the water pipe bracket 2 and the water pipe 22 are integrally formed, i.e., integrally formed. This integral design reduces assembly steps because the water pipe bracket 2 and the water pipe 22 are formed in one step during manufacturing, eliminating the need for subsequent assembly work. This greatly improves production efficiency and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0043] In another embodiment, the water pipe bracket 2 and the water pipe 22 are detachably mounted. This is achieved by creating a corresponding water pipe mounting hole at the center of the second mounting ring 212, and then mounting the water pipe 22 to the corresponding mounting hole. This detachable design allows users to easily remove the water pipe 22 from the water pipe bracket 2 for cleaning. This prevents bacterial growth inside the water pipe 22, ensuring the hygiene of the drinking water. If the water pipe 22 is damaged or needs replacement, the user can remove and replace the water pipe 22 separately without replacing the entire water pipe bracket 2. This extends the product's lifespan and reduces maintenance costs.

[0050] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: S1. Water filling stage: Unscrew the cup lid 3 components counterclockwise and pour an appropriate amount of drinking water into the inner cavity of the bottle body 1 (supports three modes: cold water / room temperature water / hot water). After completing the water filling, screw the cup lid 3 components clockwise to form a sealed cavity. S2. Atomization Working Stage: When the atomization function is activated, water pump 4 starts operating, and its working process involves three parallel fluid paths: Water is drawn into the inner cavity of bottle 1 through the bottom of water pipe 22 → transported along the axial direction of water pipe 22 → enters water supply channel 3114 → is guided to water supply seat 5 through pipe 3113 → and finally reaches the water inlet of water pump 4. The impeller assembly inside the water pump 4 converts mechanical energy into fluid kinetic energy, forming a pressurized water flow; Pressurized water is injected at high speed from the outlet of water pump 4 into atomizing seat 7 → under the Venturi effect of atomizing nozzle 73, micron-sized water mist particles are formed → diffuse outward through the spray nozzle; S3. Direct drinking stage: When direct drinking is required, perform the following operations: unscrew the drinking cap 622 to expose the drinking spout 321; tilt the cup to an appropriate angle, and the water source inside the bottle body 1 enters through the drinking hole 3111 → flows along the inner wall of the drinking tube 322 → and finally flows out from the drinking spout 321 port.

[0051] When the drinking cap 622 is separated from the drinking spout 321, the user can rotate the handle 623. The two positioning protrusions 6234 on the handle 623 can switch between multiple positioning grooves 323, so that the rotation of the handle 623 has a certain feel, and at the same time, it can also prevent the collar 6231 from blocking the drinking spout 321.

[0052] When there is a certain pressure difference between the pressure inside the water cup and the external pressure, gently pull outward and turn the handle 623 to open the air inlet valve 3121. The outside air can then enter the connecting part 6232 through the air inlet hole 6233 and the air inlet valve 3121 in sequence to maintain air pressure balance and avoid water flow problems caused by air pressure differences.
