Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sports water bottle technology, and more particularly to a magnesium ion sports bottle. Background Technology

[0002] With the nationwide fitness craze, sports such as running, gym workouts, hiking, and cycling have gradually become more popular. During exercise, the core function of a sports water bottle is primarily to support efficient and safe hydration. Whether running, working out, hiking, or cycling, the body loses a significant amount of water through sweating. To meet these hydration needs, sports enthusiasts typically carry a sports water bottle (also known as a sports flask) while exercising.

[0003] However, besides water, the trace element magnesium also plays a close role in human motor function during exercise. Humans maintain life through a series of complex biochemical reactions, requiring thousands of enzymes (biological catalysts) to catalyze these reactions. Magnesium can activate 325 enzyme systems. Magnesium is also the second most important cation in human cellular fluid after potassium, participating in growth processes, protein synthesis, muscle contraction, and body temperature regulation. Furthermore, it affects vascular tone and is closely related to neuromuscular and cardiac function.

[0004] Magnesium deficiency can lead to nervous tension, mood swings, muscle weakness, and decreased endurance. Since exercise depletes the body's magnesium reserves, failure to replenish magnesium during exercise can not only impair athletic performance but also cause leg cramps and spasms. Magnesium deficiency can also cause accidents in long-term athletes; for example, a lack of magnesium in the myocardium and coronary arteries can lead to exercise-induced syncope, cardiac arrest, and sudden death during exercise. Therefore, experts recommend that people who participate in regular physical activity should supplement with adequate magnesium daily to help prevent accidents and misfortunes during exercise.

[0005] However, the main differences between existing sports water bottles and ordinary water bottles lie in durability, sealing, and leak-proofness. Functionally, they are not significantly different; both are containers for holding drinking water. If traditional sports water bottles could be improved to allow athletes to simultaneously replenish magnesium while hydrating, the risk of accidents or misfortunes due to magnesium deficiency during exercise could be effectively reduced. Therefore, designing a sports water bottle with magnesium supplementation capabilities is essential. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a magnesium ion sports cup that can simultaneously supplement magnesium during the process of drinking water.

[0007] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: A magnesium ion sports cup includes a cup body for holding liquid, a cup lid at the upper end of the cup body, the cup lid and the cup body being installed together by a threaded connection, and the cup lid having drinking spouts of various structures, each with a different drinking method during use. A porous container is installed in the central area under the cup lid, and the porous container is filled with a substance that can release magnesium ions.

[0008] Furthermore, an installation sleeve is integrally formed in the central area under the cup lid. The inner side of the installation sleeve is provided with an internal thread, and the outer side of the upper end of the porous container is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread of the installation sleeve. The upper end of the porous container can be assembled with the installation sleeve by means of a threaded connection.

[0009] Furthermore, the porous container is a cylindrical structure with multiple water inlets evenly distributed around the circumference, and the interior of the porous container is filled with pure magnesium particles for food contact.

[0010] Furthermore, pure magnesium particles are filled at the bottom of the porous container, and a baffle is fixedly installed inside the porous container on the upper side of the pure magnesium particles.

[0011] Furthermore, the cup lid has two types of drinking spouts: a direct drinking spout and a straw spout.

[0012] Furthermore, the drinking spout includes a U-shaped groove formed on the cup lid, and a first cover matching its shape is embedded in the U-shaped groove, and the opening side of the first cover is rotatably connected to the U-shaped groove; A drinking hole is provided at the middle position of the closed end of the U-shaped groove, which passes through the cup lid. A rubber stopper matching the drinking hole is installed on the lower side of the closed end of the first cover. When the first cover is stored in the U-shaped groove, the rubber stopper can seal the drinking hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the straw opening includes a keyway provided between the U-shaped groove openings on the cup lid, and a rotatable and foldable straw head is provided in the keyway. The straw head has a water outlet channel inside, and a mouthpiece is fixedly connected to the side of the straw head away from the drinking hole. The mouthpiece is connected to the water outlet channel inside the straw head. The cup lid has a through hole, and a silicone rubber hose is installed at the lower end of the through hole. When the nozzle is in the open state on the cup lid, the water outlet channel on the straw head can be connected to the through hole on the cup lid. A second cover is movably connected to the upper side of the straw head. The second cover can not only drive the straw head to rotate, but also protect the nozzle when the nozzle is stored in the keyway.

[0014] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This application adds a porous container to the underside of the sports water bottle lid. The porous container is filled with a substance that can release magnesium ions. When the lid and the body containing drinking water are assembled together, the substance that can release magnesium ions in the porous container will be immersed in the drinking water. In this way, when athletes replenish water through the sports water bottle, they can simultaneously replenish magnesium in their bodies, thereby reducing the health risks caused by magnesium deficiency due to exercise.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses a magnesium ion sports cup, which includes a cup body 1 for holding liquid, a cup lid 2 at the upper end of the cup body 1, and the cup lid 2 and the cup body 1 are installed together by a threaded connection. The cup lid 2 is provided with drinking spouts of various structures, and the drinking methods of different structures are different when using the cup. A porous container 3 is installed in the central area under the cup lid 2, and the porous container 3 is filled with a substance that can release magnesium ions.

[0020] In the above embodiments, the drinking spouts with different structures provided on the cup lid 2 of this application are used to meet the drinking needs of athletes in different scenarios.

[0021] This application adds a porous container 3 to the underside of the lid 2 of the sports water bottle. The porous container 3 is filled with a substance that can release magnesium ions (this substance can release magnesium ions directly into the water after contact with water, or it can react with water to produce magnesium ions in the water after contact with water). When the lid 2 and the body 1 containing drinking water are assembled together, the substance that can release magnesium ions in the porous container 3 will be immersed in the drinking water. In this way, when the athlete replenishes water through the sports water bottle, the magnesium element in the body can be replenished simultaneously, thereby reducing the health risks caused by magnesium deficiency due to exercise (ordinary people can also achieve the effect of simultaneously replenishing magnesium in the body by using the sports water bottle of this application).

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, an installation sleeve 4 is integrally formed in the central area of ​​the lower side of the cup lid 2. The inner side of the installation sleeve 4 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer side of the upper end of the porous container 3 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread of the installation sleeve 4. The upper end of the porous container 3 can be assembled with the installation sleeve 4 by means of threaded connection.

[0023] In the above embodiments, the cup lid 2 of this application is preferably made of polypropylene (PP) material, and the sleeve 4 can be integrally formed with the cup lid 2 during production.

[0024] The magnesium-releasing substance placed inside the porous container 3 is a consumable item. With increased use by athletes, all substances inevitably experience wear and tear. Therefore, to ensure the sports cup's magnesium replenishment function during drinking, the magnesium-releasing substance needs to be replaced periodically. This application assembles the porous container 3 containing the magnesium-releasing substance with the mounting sleeve 4 under the cup lid 2 via a threaded connection. This not only ensures the overall stability of the porous container 3 and the cup lid 2 during use, but also allows athletes to simply remove the porous container 3 and replace it with a new one when needed, effectively reducing usage costs compared to replacing the entire cup.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the porous container 3 is a cylindrical structure with multiple water inlet holes 5 evenly distributed around the circumference. The porous container 3 is filled with pure magnesium particles 6 for food contact.

[0026] In the above embodiments, the pure magnesium granules 6 used in this application for food contact conform to the national food safety standard GB4806.9-2023, Metal Materials and Articles for Food Contact. The porous container 3 containing the pure magnesium granules 6 has multiple rows of water inlets 5 along its circumference. Each row of water inlets 5 consists of multiple individual water inlets 5 spaced apart along the height of the porous container 3. This ensures that the internal and external spaces of the porous container 3 have multiple interconnected channels during use. Water in the cup body 1 freely enters and exits the porous container 3 through these channels. When the drinking water in the cup body 1 comes into contact with the pure magnesium granules 6 in the porous container 3, a reaction occurs, ionizing magnesium ions. These magnesium ions dissolve in the water and, when consumed by the athlete, enter the athlete's body, supplementing the athlete's magnesium intake.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, pure magnesium particles 6 are filled at the bottom of the porous container 3, and a baffle 7 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the pure magnesium particles 6 inside the porous container 3.

[0028] In the above embodiments, sports cups are generally carried by athletes. During exercise, if the movement range of the pure magnesium particles 6 within the porous container 3 is not restricted, the particles will generate significant noise. Therefore, this application adds a baffle 7 to the bottom of the porous container 3 to reduce the movement range of the pure magnesium particles 6. If the pure magnesium particles 6 are confined to the middle or slightly above the middle of the porous container 3, they will have difficulty contacting the drinking water in the cup body 1 when the amount of drinking water is small. Therefore, this application uses the baffle 7 to confine the pure magnesium particles 6 to the bottom of the porous container 3, thereby increasing the probability of contact between the pure magnesium particles 6 and the drinking water in the cup body 1.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cup lid 2 has two types of drinking spouts, namely the direct drinking spout 8 and the straw spout 9.

[0030] In the above embodiments, the drinking spout 8 is suitable for quick hydration; the straw design avoids the inconvenience of tilting the head back to drink, making it suitable for dynamic scenarios such as running and cycling.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drinking spout 8 includes a U-shaped groove 81 formed on the cup lid 2. A first cover 82 that matches the shape of the U-shaped groove 81 is embedded in the U-shaped groove 81, and the opening side of the first cover 82 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped groove 81. A drinking hole 83 is provided at the middle position of the closed end of the U-shaped groove 81, which passes through the cup lid 2. A rubber stopper 84 matching the drinking hole 83 is installed on the lower side of the closed end of the first cover 82. When the first cover 82 is stored in the U-shaped groove 81, the rubber stopper 84 can seal the drinking hole 83.

[0032] In the above embodiments, the main function of the first cover 82 of this application is to seal the drinking hole 83 with its lower rubber stopper 84 when it is not in use. This not only prevents dust and other dirt from entering the drinking water, but also prevents the drinking water in the cup body 1 from spilling out. The shape of the first cover 82 matches the shape of the U-shaped groove 81. The two side walls of the opening side of the first cover 82 are movably connected to the corresponding side walls of the U-shaped groove 81. The first cover 82 can swing freely up and down around their connection point within the U-shaped groove 81. When the first cover 82 is stored in the U-shaped groove 81, the rubber stopper 84 on the lower side of the first cover 82 is precisely inserted into the drinking hole 83. When the user needs to drink quickly, the first cover 82 can be lifted upwards to expose the drinking hole 83 for drinking. The first cover 82 can be operated by the user with one hand during use, which reduces the risk of distraction during exercise.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the straw opening 9 includes a keyway 91 provided between the openings of the U-shaped groove 81 on the cup lid 2. A rotatable and foldable straw head 92 is provided in the keyway 91. The straw head 92 has a water outlet channel inside. A mouthpiece 93 is fixedly connected to the side of the straw head 92 away from the drinking hole 83. The mouthpiece 93 is connected to the water outlet channel inside the straw head 92. The cup lid 2 has a through hole 94, and a silicone rubber hose 95 is installed at the lower end of the through hole 94. When the nozzle 93 is in the open state on the cup lid 2, the water outlet channel on the straw head 92 can be connected to the through hole 94 on the cup lid 2. A second cover 96 is movably connected to the upper side of the straw head 92. The second cover 96 can not only drive the straw head 92 to rotate, but also protect the nozzle 93 when it is stored in the keyway 91.

[0034] In the above embodiments, the straw head 92 of this application is movably installed in the groove near the drinking hole 83 in the keyway 91. The straw head 92 has a water outlet channel. When the mouthpiece 93 on the straw head 92 is in a horizontal state, the water outlet channel on the straw head 92 is misaligned with the through hole 94 on the cup lid 2. At this time, the main body of the straw head 92 can simultaneously seal and protect the through hole 94 on the cup lid 2 that is connected to the silicone rubber hose 95. When drinking water is needed, the user rotates the main body of the straw head 92 to align its water outlet channel with the through hole 94 on the cup lid 2 (the rotatable straw head 92 structure is prior art; the relevant principle can be found in the published patent document with application number 201020222768.0).

[0035] Because the mouthpiece 93 needs to be placed directly into the mouth of the athlete during use, if the mouthpiece 93 is bent by hand to change the angle of the straw head 92, it is easy to contaminate the mouthpiece 93 and affect the health of the drinker. Therefore, this application adds a second cover 96 to the upper side of the straw head 92. The upper side of the straw head 92 is specially provided with a notch for movable connection with the second cover 96, and the notch is a right angle notch. In this way, when the second cover 96 is opened to the vertical position, it will be blocked by the notch on the straw head 92, thereby swinging the straw head 92 together and achieving the effect of rotating the straw head 92. The shape of the lower side of the second cover 96 matches the shape of the spout 93, and the shape of the upper side of the second cover 96 matches the shape of a part of the keyway 91. When the user finishes drinking water using the spout 93, he moves and snaps the second cover 96 down. When the second cover 96 contacts the spout 93, it will swing down with the spout 93. At the same time, the straw head 92 will rotate to close the through hole 94 on the cup lid 2. When the second cover 96 is completely horizontal, the spout 93 is neatly stored in the keyway 91 on the cup lid 2. The second cover 96 can also fill the upper half of the keyway 91, so the appearance of the cup lid 2 will be more concise and beautiful.

[0036] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, to ensure the stability of the first cover 82 and the second cover 96 when the sports cup is in use, the connection between the first cover 82 and the second cover 96 and the cup lid 2 can be designed as a snap-fit ​​connection 10. For convenient carrying of the sports cup, a hook for attaching a handle or strap can also be added to the cup lid 2.

[0037] Maintaining a balance of pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cup during drinking is also important. Therefore, a vent hole can be provided in both the U-shaped groove 81 and the keyway 91 of this application. A rubber channel 11 is provided in the vent hole. A protrusion 12 is provided on the corresponding position on the lower side of the first cover 82 and the spout 93. When the first cover 82 or the second cover 96 is opened, the vent hole can be exposed so that the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cup can be kept in a state of real-time balance during drinking. When the first cover 82 or the second cover 96 is closed, the protrusion 12 on the first cover 82 or the spout 93 will be inserted into the rubber channel 11 of the vent hole, thereby achieving the effect of sealing the vent hole.

[0038] The cup lid 2 of this application is not only designed with a direct drinking spout 8 and a straw spout 9, but also by setting the keyway 91 of the straw spout 9 in the middle of the U-shaped groove 81 of the direct drinking spout 8, the space utilization efficiency of the cup lid 2 is effectively improved. Moreover, due to the reasonable design, when athletes use drinking spouts with different structures, there will be no excessive interference between them, thus ensuring the actual user experience of athletes.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
