Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tea ware technology, and in particular relates to a combined insulated tea cup. Background Technology

[0002] Thermos cups, commonly used by office workers, are primarily designed to hold drinking water. However, when users wish to drink tea, they must first brew the tea leaves using the internal filter. This limits their basic tea-drinking needs, making the brewing process invisible and depriving them of the ritualistic experience of tea ceremony. It fails to replicate the tiered experience of observing color, smelling aroma, and tasting flavor found in traditional tea art. Its limited functionality fails to meet users' daily spiritual needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a modular insulated tea cup is provided.

[0004] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0005] A modular insulated tea cup includes a cup body, a first lid at the opening of the cup body, the first lid being threaded onto the cup body, a push-button valve assembly inside the first lid for controlling its opening and closing, and a second lid fitted over the outside of the first lid. The second lid is a flared cup-shaped structure with a gradually increasing circumferential sidewall curvature from the bottom to the rim. The cup-shaped structure is inverted and covers the opening of the cup body, and the inner surface of the cup-shaped structure is a smooth surface without protrusions or grooves. The inner surface of the cup-shaped structure forms a drinking trough for the user to drink tea.

[0006] When a user wants to drink tea, they can remove the second lid and pour in the tea. When a user wants to brew tea, they can remove the second lid, put in the tea leaves, and then pour in hot water to brew the tea. This satisfies the user's daily needs. Because the inner surface of the cup-shaped structure is a smooth surface without any protrusions or grooves, it prevents the formation of hard-to-clean corners that could lead to the accumulation of tea leaves or limescale.

[0007] Preferably, the upper axial end of the cup body is provided with a shoulder, the cup-shaped structure is inverted and placed on the shoulder, the bottom end of the cup-shaped structure is located at the upper limit position, and the mouth end of the cup-shaped structure is in close contact with the shoulder.

[0008] Preferably, a magnetic attraction component is provided between the first cup lid and the cup-shaped structure to ensure the connection stability between the cup-shaped structure and the first cup lid.

[0009] Preferably, the magnetic suction assembly includes a first magnetic suction member disposed on the outer circumference of the upper end face of the first cup lid and a second magnetic suction member disposed at the bottom end of the cup-shaped structure.

[0010] Compared to setting magnetic components at the shoulder and mouth of the cup-shaped structure, this method ensures magnetic adsorption, reduces torque, and improves the connection stability between the cup-shaped structure and the first lid.

[0011] Preferably, the first magnetic component is embedded in the first cup lid, and the second magnetic component is embedded in the bottom of the cup-shaped structure, thereby reducing the space occupied by the first and second magnetic components and avoiding the formation of a protrusion on the inner bottom of the cup-shaped structure due to the second magnetic component, which would create a dead corner in the cup-shaped structure that is difficult to clean.

[0012] Preferably, the outer circumferential surface of the cup body is also provided with a handle. The handle includes a first connecting end and a second connecting end along its own length direction. A gap is provided between the first connecting end and the outer circumferential surface of the cup body, so as to facilitate the user to hold the cup body through the handle.

[0013] Preferably, the first connecting end has a notch smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the cup handle, and the gap is formed by the notch, so that the notch can be used by the user to hang a pendant or to support a cigarette.

[0014] When a user needs to hang a pendant, the pendant's ring-shaped connecting structure is hung inside the notch, so that the ring-shaped connecting structure is engaged between the inner walls of the notch, thereby suspending and fixing the pendant.

[0015] When a user needs to support a cigarette, the cigarette is placed in the notch perpendicular to the handle of the cup. This causes the cigarette to deform slightly, thus securing it in the notch and providing support and stability.

[0016] Preferably, there is no contact between the first connecting end and the outer circumferential surface of the cup, and a clearance space is formed between the first connecting end and the outer circumferential surface of the cup, the gap being formed by the clearance space.

[0017] When a user needs to hang a pendant, the pendant's ring-shaped connecting structure can be passed through the clearance space, allowing the ring-shaped connecting structure to fit onto the cup handle, thus completing the hanging and making it convenient for the user to decorate the device.

[0018] Preferably, the lower end of the cup body is wrapped with a heat-insulating base, and the second connecting end is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the heat-insulating base, and the second connecting end and the heat-insulating base are integrally formed.

[0019] The heat-insulating base can be fixed to the lower end of the cup body by snap-fit ​​or by through-fixing with screws or other fasteners.

[0020] When the heat-insulating base is fixed to the lower end of the cup body by a snap-fit, the user can remove the heat-insulating base and use it together with the cup-shaped structure to form a cup holder for the cup-shaped structure. This allows the user to hold the cup-shaped structure without direct contact, improving the user's tea-drinking experience.

[0021] Preferably, the first cup lid is also equipped with a mechanical temperature display, and a filter screen is provided between the opening of the cup body and the first cup lid, so that users can more intuitively obtain the temperature of the hot water in the cup and make it easier for users to filter out the tea leaves.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] The second lid, located on the outermost side, fulfills the user's needs for drinking and brewing tea. By making the inner surface of the cup-shaped structure formed by the second lid a smooth surface without any protrusions or grooves, tea leaves or limescale can be prevented from accumulating on the inner side of the cup-shaped structure, thus avoiding cleaning blind spots and ensuring the user's hygienic tea-drinking conditions. This approach combines a sense of ritual with practicality, satisfying the user's daily spiritual needs.

[0024] When the user is not drinking tea, the hidden magnetic component ensures the secure connection of the second lid, thus preventing the second lid from falling off and breaking, which would affect its use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a combined insulated tea cup, including a cup body 11, a shoulder 12 at the upper axial end of the cup body 11, and a first lid 13 at the opening of the cup body 11. The first lid 13 is threaded onto the cup body 11. A push-type valve assembly 14 is provided inside the first lid 13, which can control the opening or closing of the first lid 13. The push-type valve assembly 14 has the same structure as the prior art. When the user presses the push-type valve assembly 14, the push-type valve assembly 14 opens, thereby connecting the space inside the cup body 11 with the outside. When the user presses the push-type valve assembly 14 again, the push-type valve assembly 14 closes, thereby sealing the space inside the cup body 11 in conjunction with the first lid 13, preventing water from flowing out of the cup body 11.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a second cup lid 16 is also fitted on the outside of the first cup lid 13. The second cup lid 16 is a cup-shaped structure 30 with an flared mouth. The curvature of the circumferential side wall of the cup-shaped structure 30 gradually increases from the bottom end of the cup-shaped structure 30 to the mouth end. The cup-shaped structure 30 is inverted and placed over the opening of the cup body 11, covering the first cup lid 13. The mouth of the cup-shaped structure 30 abuts against the shoulder 12 of the cup. When the cup-shaped structure 30 is placed on the shoulder 12 of the cup, the bottom end of the cup-shaped structure 30 is at the upper limit position. The inner surface of the cup-shaped structure 30 is a smooth surface without protrusions or grooves. The inner surface of the cup-shaped structure 30 forms a drinking trough 17 for the user to drink / brew tea.

[0033] The first cup lid 13 is equipped with a mechanical temperature display (not shown in the figure). The mechanical temperature display has the same structure as the prior art, which makes it easier for users to intuitively obtain the temperature of the hot water in the cup body 11.

[0034] A filter screen 15 is provided between the opening of the cup body 11 and the first cup lid 13, so that the user can filter out the tea. The mesh opening of the filter screen 15 is hung on the opening of the cup body 11. When the first cup lid 13 is screwed to the opening of the cup body 11, the first cup lid 13 can press the mesh opening of the filter screen 15 tightly.

[0035] A magnetic attraction assembly is provided between the first cup lid 13 and the cup-shaped structure 30. The magnetic attraction assembly includes a first magnetic attraction element 131 located on the outer circumference of the upper surface of the first cup lid 13 and a second magnetic attraction element 161 located at the bottom end of the cup-shaped structure 30. The first magnetic attraction element 131 is embedded in the first cup lid 13, and the second magnetic attraction element 161 is embedded in the bottom end of the cup-shaped structure 30. Therefore, compared with the protruding magnetic attraction assembly design, the overall height of the device can be effectively reduced.

[0036] A handle 20 is also provided on the outer circumferential surface of the cup body 11. The handle 20 includes a first connecting end 201 and a second connecting end 202 along its own length direction. The first connecting end 201 has no contact with the outer circumferential surface of the cup body 11. An avoidance space is formed between the first connecting end 201 and the outer circumferential surface of the cup body 11. A gap 21 formed by the avoidance space is provided between the first connecting end 201 and the outer circumferential surface of the cup body 11.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, the lower end of the cup body 11 is wrapped with a heat-insulating base 19. The heat-insulating base 19 and the lower end of the cup body 11 are fixedly installed by existing fastening screws. The second connecting end 202 is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the heat-insulating base 19. The second connecting end 202 and the heat-insulating base 19 are integrally formed.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, when a user wants to drink tea, they can remove the second lid 16 and pour tea into it for drinking; when a user wants to brew tea, they can remove the second lid 16, put in tea leaves, and then pour hot water into the second lid 16 to brew the tea, thus satisfying the user's daily spiritual needs.

[0039] To prevent users from being scalded by hot water when holding the cup-shaped structure 30, the cup-shaped structure 30 can be made of heat-insulating materials, such as a double-layer titanium structure with a vacuum cavity; to allow the hot water inside the cup-shaped structure 30 to cool down quickly for drinking, the cup-shaped structure 30 can also be made of heat-conducting materials, such as a ceramic structure.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the lower end of the cup body 11 is provided with a stepped portion 18, and the heat-insulating base 19 and the stepped portion 18 are tightly fitted to achieve a detachable connection. When the user needs hot water to brew tea, the user can remove the heat-insulating base 19 and use it together with the cup-shaped structure 30 to form a cup holder for the cup-shaped structure 30, so that the user can hold the cup-shaped structure 30 without direct contact, improve the user's tea drinking experience, and thus meet the user's daily spiritual needs.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiments 1 and 2 is that: a notch (not shown in the figure) smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the cup handle 20 is provided on the first connecting end 201. The notch is a semi-open slot-type structure, which makes the upper radial part of the first connecting end 201 disconnect from the outer surface of the cup body 11, and the lower radial part is in close contact with the outer surface of the cup body 11, thereby forming a gap 21 for the user.
