Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a baby bottle, and more particularly to a baby bottle capable of detecting temperature and the structure of the bottle body. Background Technology

[0002] Baby bottles are commonly used assistive devices during infancy. With technological advancements, thermometric baby bottles have emerged that can detect the temperature of the milk inside, assisting caregivers in judging the milk temperature when feeding infants. Among various thermometric baby bottle designs, one features a notch at the bottom of the bottle body, with a temperature detection device enclosed within this notch, defining a space for the milk along with the bottle body. The temperature detection device faces and contacts this space to detect the milk temperature. Because this type of thermometric baby bottle has a notch at the bottom, it requires high precision in manufacturing and assembly to prevent leakage when the milk is filled. How to improve this problem is a challenge that those skilled in the art seek to address.

[0003] On the other hand, in the manufacturing process of temperature-measuring baby bottles, a common processing method is to subtractively process the notch, that is, to form the notch by "removal". This not only generates extra waste during processing, but also adds an extra processing step, which increases the processing cost. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem of the bottle structure of conventional temperature measuring baby bottles.

[0037] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of illustrating particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. Unless the context otherwise indicates, the singular forms “a” and “the” used herein may also include the plural forms.

[0038] The directional terms used herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, and their derivatives or synonyms, refer to the orientation of the components in the accompanying drawings and are not intended to limit the present invention, unless the context clearly states otherwise.

[0039] The main purpose of this utility model is to disclose a baby bottle, particularly a baby bottle that can detect the liquid (such as milk) inside the bottle. This utility model also discloses the structure of the bottle body.

[0040] See Figure 1 This utility model discloses a baby bottle comprising a bottle body 10, a nozzle assembly 20, and a temperature sensor 30. The bottle body 10 has a structure for mounting the temperature sensor 30, such as a groove or a perforation. The bottle body 10 can be a one-piece molded structure manufactured by injection molding. In one aspect, the bottle body 10 is manufactured in a single molding process, and the structure is formed immediately after the molding process without further processing. Furthermore, conventional bottles require further processing after molding to form the structure, but the bottle body 10 of this utility model can be formed without removing parts of the bottle body 10 through other subtractive processing (such as cutting or drilling) to form the structure. In other examples, the bottle body 10 can be a one-piece structure directly molded through an additive process (such as additive manufacturing or 3D printing). In this example, the temperature sensor 30 is a fluid temperature sensor used to detect the temperature inside the bottle 10, especially the temperature of the liquid contained in the bottle 10.

[0041] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottle body 10 includes a bottle body 11, a neck 12, and a seat 13, which are integrally formed. The bottle body 11 has a top 11a in the upper part and a bottom 11b in the lower part. The neck 12 is connected to the top 11a of the bottle body 11 and together with the bottle body 11 forms a bottle mouth 121. The seat 13 is connected to the bottom 11b of the bottle body 11 and together with the bottle body 11 forms a bottom opening 131.

[0042] The bottle body 11 includes an annular wall 111 extending axially from the neck 12 to the seat 13. In one example, the annular wall 111 is generally cylindrical and extends axially, and can be designed in different shapes, such as arcs or recesses, depending on appearance and practical needs, without deviating from the overall cylindrical container configuration. In this example, the bottle body 11 has a pair of recesses 112 formed on the annular wall 111, providing a partially recessed shape on the cylindrical annular wall 111 and being symmetrically arranged along the axial direction, thereby improving the stability of the bottle body 11 for caregivers or infants.

[0043] The suction nozzle assembly 20 is configured to be disposed on the neck 12 of the bottle body 10, and the suction nozzle assembly 20 includes a suction nozzle 21 and an assembly 22. The suction nozzle 21 is fixed to the neck 12 by the assembly 22. The neck 12 and the assembly 22 have corresponding threaded features and can be locked together. In one example, the suction nozzle 21 can be a commercially available standard-sized suction nozzle, and the assembly 22 presses the suction nozzle 21 onto an upper edge 120 of the neck 12 and locks it onto the bottle body 10.

[0044] The temperature sensor 30 is configured to be sealed in the base 13 to seal the bottom opening 131 and to define a liquid-holding space 14 with the bottle body 11. The liquid-holding space 14 is for holding liquid inserted from the bottle opening 121. The nozzle 21 is connected to the liquid-holding space 14 through the bottle opening 121 for infants to suck. The temperature sensor 30 is sealed in the base 13 to prevent the liquid from flowing out from the bottom opening 131.

[0045] See Figure 4 The base portion 13 of the bottle body 10 has a mounting ring wall 132 located inside the ring wall 111 in the axial direction. The mounting ring wall 132 is arranged in a ring around the bottom opening 131, and the mounting ring wall 132 includes a ring side wall 132a and a ring top wall 132b. The ring side wall 132a extends in the axial direction, and the ring top wall 132b extends radially inward from the top of the ring side wall 132a and partially around the bottom opening 131. The ring side wall 132a and the ring top wall 132b together define a space 133 for mounting the temperature sensor 30. The temperature sensor 30 is disposed in the space 133 from below and screwed to the ring side wall 132a.

[0046] The temperature sensor 30 includes a housing 31 and a temperature sensing unit 32. The temperature sensing unit 32 is disposed inside the housing 31, and when the housing 31 is assembled into the space 133, the temperature sensing unit 32 extends partially into the liquid-containing space 14 to detect the temperature of the liquid in the liquid-containing space 14. In this example, the temperature sensor 30 is screwed onto the mounting ring wall 132 of the seat 13, and a waterproof ring 40 is provided between the seat 13 and the temperature sensor 30. The housing 31 and the ring sidewall 132a have corresponding thread features. The waterproof ring 40 is pressurized and located between an upper edge 311 of the housing 31 and the top wall 132b of the ring, preventing the liquid in the liquid-containing space 14 from flowing out through the locking gap. Furthermore, the mounting ring wall 132 forms a protrusion 132c on a bottom surface of the top wall 132b of the ring, which can increase the force pressing the waterproof ring 40 and prevent the waterproof ring 40 from coming off due to shaking.

[0047] In summary, by utilizing the structural features of the bottle body, this invention can seal the bottom opening when the temperature sensor is attached to the bottle body, preventing liquid from flowing out or leaking from the liquid-containing space. Furthermore, the bottle body disclosed in this invention is a one-piece molded structure, which can reduce processing steps and waste generation.
