Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cold brew cups, and in particular to an integrated cold brew cup. Background Technology

[0002] The core working principle of an ultrasonic extraction cup is to use the high-frequency vibrations generated by ultrasound to accelerate the extraction of flavor substances from tea ingredients. Existing simple extraction cups do not have a cooling function; the cooling source mainly relies on an externally added medium, such as cold water or iced milk. However, during ultrasonic extraction, the high-frequency vibrations of the vibrating plate inevitably generate heat, which is continuously transferred to the cooling medium. In other words, the ultrasonic extraction process causes the temperature of the cooling medium to rise, and the increase in temperature becomes more significant as the extraction time extends.

[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0011] The integrated cold brew cup has a step at the opening of the cup body, which is used to support the tea strainer.

[0012] The integrated cold brew cup has a downwardly extending pressure ring at the opening of the lid, and a gap for limiting the tea strainer is formed between the pressure ring and the step, with the edge of the tea strainer located in the gap.

[0013] The integrated cold brew cup, wherein the pressure ring is connected to the cup body by a thread.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] This utility model provides an integrated cold extraction cup. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an integrated cold brew cup, including a cup body 1, a cup lid 2 that works with the cup body 1 and can be separated from the cup body 1, and a tea strainer 3; an isolation plate 4 is provided in the inner cavity of the cup lid 2, the isolation plate 4 divides the cup lid 2 into an installation cavity 211 and an extraction cavity 212, and the tea strainer 3 is located in the extraction cavity 212; an ultrasonic generator 5, a heat sink 6, and an electronic control component 7 are provided in the installation cavity 211; the electronic control component 7 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic generator 5; a heat dissipation hole 21 is provided on the cup lid 2, the heat dissipation hole 21 is connected to the installation cavity 211, and the heat sink 6 is used to dissipate the heat generated by the vibration of the ultrasonic generator 5 through the heat dissipation hole 21.

[0025] When using it, first remove the lid 2 from the cup body 1, put the tea ingredients into the tea infuser 3, then add a cold medium such as cold water or iced milk into the cup body 1. Then assemble the cup body 1 and the lid 2 and invert it. The core function of inverting it is to ensure that the cold medium and the ingredients in the tea infuser 3 are always in full contact. Combined with the energy of ultrasonic vibration, it further improves the extraction efficiency of flavor substances. Moreover, the user has a strong sense of interactivity in the process of using the extraction cup, which enhances the fun of using it.

[0026] The switch controls the opening and closing of the electronic control component 7, which provides power to the cold brew cup. When the cold brew cup is started, the ultrasonic generator 5 in the mounting cavity 211 generates high-frequency vibration under the control of the electronic control component 7. The vibration energy is transferred to the extraction cavity 212 through the isolation plate 4. The tea strainer 3 is located above the isolation plate 4, and this area is the core vibration area, ensuring that the raw materials are continuously in the area of ​​strongest vibration, accelerating the extraction of flavor substances from the raw materials into the cold source medium. At the same time, the heat generated by the ultrasonic generator 5 during operation is absorbed in time by the heat sink 6 in the mounting cavity 211, and the heat is finally discharged through the heat dissipation hole 21 on the cup lid 2 that communicates with the mounting cavity 211, preventing excessive heat transfer to the cold source medium in the extraction cavity 212.

[0027] After extraction is complete, the ultrasonic generator 5 stops vibrating. The user can then reverse the cup body 1 and the lid 2 so that the cup body 1 is down and the lid 2 is up. Then, open the lid 2, remove the tea strainer 3, and enjoy the cold brew.

[0028] In addition, the heat dissipation hole 21 can dissipate the heat generated by the electrical components of the electronic control assembly 7 during operation, so that the air pressure inside the mounting cavity 211 is consistent with the air pressure outside.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the heat sink 6 includes a heat-conducting plate 61 disposed on the lower surface of the ultrasonic generator 5, a one-way heat dissipation film 63 disposed on the wall of the mounting cavity 211, and a heat transfer plate 62 for connecting the heat-conducting plate 61 and the one-way heat dissipation film 63. The one-way heat dissipation film 63 is used to dissipate the heat from the heat-conducting plate 61 to the heat dissipation hole 21 through the heat transfer plate 62. When the ultrasonic generator 5 generates heat, the heat-conducting plate 61, which is in close contact with its lower surface, will first quickly absorb the heat; subsequently, the heat will be conducted to the one-way heat dissipation film 63 through the heat transfer plate 62. Since the one-way heat dissipation film 63 has directional heat dissipation characteristics, it can concentrate the conducted heat and guide it to the heat dissipation hole 21 connected to the mounting cavity 211, so that the heat can be discharged to the external environment through the heat dissipation hole 21. This heat dissipation path can effectively prevent heat from diffusing into the cold source medium of the extraction cavity 212, ensuring the stability of the cold extraction environment. In addition, the ultrasonic generator 5 is adhered to the lower surface of the insulating sheet 4 by an adhesive layer. The aforementioned heat-conducting sheet 61, heat-transfer sheet 62 and one-way heat dissipation film 63 are all lightweight sheet structures that do not hinder the vibration of the ultrasonic generator 5.

[0030] Specifically, the heat-conducting sheet 61 can be a metal sheet such as a copper sheet or an aluminum sheet. The heat transfer sheet 62 can be a metal sheet such as a copper sheet or an aluminum sheet. The unidirectional heat dissipation film 63 can be a unidirectional heat-conducting graphite film, a metal-plated unidirectional heat dissipation film (the substrate is a polyimide or polyester film, with a metal layer such as aluminum or copper plated on the surface), or a nano-coated unidirectional heat dissipation film (a nano-ceramic or carbon-based coating is coated on the surface of the film, and the direction of heat conduction is controlled by the microstructure of the coating).

[0031] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the heat dissipation side of the unidirectional heat dissipation film 63 faces the heat dissipation hole 21. In this embodiment, the unidirectional heat dissipation film 63 is positioned opposite the ultrasonic generator 5, and the heat dissipation hole 21 is located at the top of the cup lid 2 (in the non-extraction state). This arrangement makes the heat conduction path more targeted. After the heat transfer plate 62 conducts heat from the heat conduction plate 61 to the unidirectional heat dissipation film 63, the heat dissipation side will precisely guide the heat to the corresponding heat dissipation hole 21 due to its directional heat dissipation characteristics.

[0032] In some embodiments, a breathable and waterproof membrane 64 is further provided in the mounting cavity 211. The breathable and waterproof membrane 64 covers the heat dissipation holes 21, allowing air to pass through while remaining waterproof. The breathable and waterproof membrane 64 has unidirectional heat dissipation characteristics, meaning it is both breathable and waterproof. Its placement ensures that the cup lid 2 remains sealed, achieving an IPX7 waterproof rating. Specifically, the breathable and waterproof membrane 64 can be made of materials such as ePTFE expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane or DuPont membrane. TM Tyvek membrane, polyethylene breathable membrane, and Micros gray-black breathable membrane ES series.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the side wall (i.e., top surface) of the cup lid 2, which has the heat dissipation holes 21, is recessed inward. This design prevents the tabletop from blocking the heat dissipation holes during extraction, thus avoiding affecting heat dissipation efficiency.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the mounting cavity 211 has a mounting groove, and a sealing and noise-reducing adhesive 22 is provided in the mounting groove. The sealing and noise-reducing adhesive 22 has a slot 23, and the edge of the isolation piece 4 is located in the slot 23. The sealing and noise-reducing adhesive 22 prevents the isolation piece 4 from directly contacting the inner wall of the cup lid 2, weakening vibration transmission and reducing noise during cold brew cup operation. The slot 23 is used to fix the edge of the isolation piece 4, improving the stability of the isolation piece 4, reducing vibration offset, and facilitating the installation of the isolation piece 4 into the cup lid 2 through the slot 23. Furthermore, the sealing and noise-reducing adhesive 22 further enhances the sealing of the mounting cavity 211, helping to protect internal components.

[0035] Please see Figure 3In some embodiments, a step 11 is provided at the opening of the cup body 1, and the step 11 is used to support the tea strainer 3. In use, the tea strainer 3 is placed on the step 11, and the step 11 supports the edge of the tea strainer 3; when it is necessary to remove the tea strainer 3, it can be directly removed from the opening of the cup body 1, which is very convenient to use.

[0036] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, a downwardly extending pressure ring 24 is provided at the opening of the cup lid 2. A gap is formed between the pressure ring 24 and the step 11 to limit the tea strainer 3, and the edge of the tea strainer 3 is located in the gap. The pressure ring 24 at the opening of the cup lid 2 extends downward and forms a gap with the step 11. The edge of the tea strainer 3 is placed in this gap, which can limit the tea strainer 3 and prevent it from shaking or shifting during ultrasonic extraction or movement, thus ensuring the solid-liquid separation effect and extraction stability.

[0037] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the pressure ring 24 is threadedly connected to the cup body 1. In use, the cup lid 2 can be quickly opened or closed by twisting the cup lid 2 and cup body 1 in the opposite direction, making it very convenient to use.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the electrical control component 7 includes a circuit board 71 and a battery 72 disposed in the mounting cavity 211, and a power port 73 disposed on the circuit board 71; the circuit board 71, the battery 72, and the ultrasonic generator 5 are electrically connected; a power port 74 is provided on the cup lid 2, and the power port 73 is located in the power port 74. The circuit board 71, the battery 72, and the ultrasonic generator 5 in the mounting cavity 211 form a complete electrical connection circuit. The battery 72, as the energy core, stably outputs electrical energy to the ultrasonic generator 5 through the circuit board 71, providing continuous power for its high-frequency vibration and ensuring the normal start-up and operation of the extraction process. At the same time, the power port 73 on the circuit board 71 is correspondingly disposed in the power port 74 of the cup lid 2, which not only realizes the docking channel between the external power supply and the internal battery 72, making it convenient for users to charge the battery 72 through the power port 73, but also allows the circuit board 71 to regulate the power distribution, ensuring the coordinated operation of the ultrasonic generator 5, the battery 72, and other components, making the power system of the cold extraction cup more stable and the operation more convenient.

[0039] In some embodiments, the isolation plate 4 is a stainless steel isolation plate, and the ultrasonic generator 5 is a ceramic transducer vibrating plate. Stainless steel has good structural strength and corrosion resistance, maintaining morphological stability under high-frequency vibration. Simultaneously, its excellent mechanical conductivity efficiently transmits the high-frequency vibration energy generated by the ceramic transducer vibrating plate, ensuring that the vibration energy acts on the raw materials in the extraction chamber 212 to the maximum extent, improving the extraction efficiency of flavor substances. Furthermore, stainless steel has strong heat resistance, remaining stable while absorbing some of the vibration heat, reducing the impact on its own structure and surrounding components. Ceramic materials have excellent piezoelectric effect, efficiently converting electrical energy into high-frequency mechanical vibration under the drive of the electronic control component 7. The vibration frequency is stable, and the energy output is uniform, ensuring that the tea raw materials fully release flavor substances in a continuous and stable vibration environment. At the same time, ceramic materials are high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant, adapting to the heat generated during vibration and the wear of long-term use, extending the service life of the cold brew cup.

[0040] In summary, this invention integrates the cup body 1, cup lid 2, and tea strainer 3 into a compact design that is easy to assemble and disassemble. The installation cavity 211 and extraction cavity 212, separated by the separator 4, allow for the orderly arrangement of components such as the ultrasonic generator 5 and radiator 6. This ensures efficient ultrasonic extraction of flavor substances while allowing heat to be dissipated promptly through the radiator 6 via the heat dissipation holes 21, preventing the cold source medium from overheating and guaranteeing the cold extraction effect. Simultaneously, the coordinated operation of all components improves extraction efficiency and ease of use.
