Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass cup technology, specifically to a novel glass cup with high thermal conductivity and uniform heat transfer. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many all-glass health pots, kettles, formula makers, and tea makers on the market suffer from cracking issues, and their heating times become prolonged and unstable after use. The main heat-conducting materials are thermally conductive silicone, thermally conductive gel, or silicone rubber. The connection between the glass bottom and the heating plate is reinforced with clips or directly glued. However, these methods all have certain unresolved problems: either they cannot be glued firmly and require clips, manual assembly, or screws for fixation (as thermally conductive silicone and thermally conductive gel cannot be glued firmly); or they use silicone rubber for fixation, which can be effectively fixed, but the thermal conductivity cannot be improved, resulting in slow heat conduction and difficulty in boiling water. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel glass cup with high thermal conductivity and uniform heat transfer, in order to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A novel glass cup with high thermal conductivity and uniform heat transfer includes a high borosilicate glass cup body. A heat-conducting sheet is disposed at the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup body to conduct heat evenly to it. The heat-conducting sheet is composed of a metal mesh and silicone rubber filled in the mesh of the metal mesh.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a heating element disposed at the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup and used to heat it, with the top of the heating element in close contact with the bottom of the heat-conducting sheet.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a housing assembly disposed at the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup and protecting it, with the upper part of the housing assembly snapped into the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup and the lower part fixedly connected to the heating element.

The heating tube is fixed to the bottom of the heating plate and is electrically connected to the coupler.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer casing assembly includes a plastic locking ring and a plastic outer casing. The plastic locking ring is fixedly disposed inside the plastic outer casing and snaps onto the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup. The plastic outer casing covers the plastic locking ring and the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup and is connected and fixed to the coupler by screws.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] (1) The metal mesh has good thermal conductivity and can quickly and effectively absorb and distribute the heat of the heating plate to various parts of the mesh, and evenly transfer the heat to the bottom of the glass cup.

[0014] (2) The elastic tension property of silicone rubber can effectively offset the superposition of thermal stress caused by inconsistent expansion coefficients, reduce the risk of cup breakage, and make it safer to use;

The heat-conducting sheet 2 is composed of a metal mesh 201 and silicone rubber 202 filled within the mesh of the metal mesh 201. By using a heat-conducting sheet 2 composed of silicone rubber 202 filling the metal mesh 201, compared to traditional heat-conducting sheets composed of only a single component of thermally conductive silicone rubber (thermal conductivity 1.2~1.5W), its heat conduction system can be improved from 1.2~1.5W to 2.0~3.0W.

[0035] Please continue reading from 1 to 20. Figure 3 The novel glass cup with high thermal conductivity and uniform heat transfer provided in this embodiment of the utility model also includes a heating component 3 disposed at the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup body 1 and heated thereon, and the top of the heating component 3 is in close contact with the bottom of the heat-conducting sheet 2.

Figure 3The novel glass cup with high thermal conductivity and uniform heat transfer provided in this utility model embodiment also includes a shell assembly 4 disposed at the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup body 1 and protecting it. The upper part of the shell assembly 4 is snapped into the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup body 1, and the lower part is fixedly connected to the heating component 3.

[0037] Specifically, the novel glass cup with high thermal conductivity and uniform heat transfer provided in this embodiment of the present invention also includes a cup lid (not shown in the figure) disposed on the top of the high borosilicate glass cup body 1 and sealed thereto. The cup lid can be connected to the high borosilicate glass cup body 1 by a hinged connection or by a movable embedded connection.

[0038] Specifically, the heat-conducting sheet 2 is bonded and fixed to the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup 1.

[0039] Specifically, the metal mesh 201 is preferably a stainless steel mesh, and the silicone rubber 202 is preferably a silicone rubber with a thermal conductivity of 1.2W~1.5W and a high temperature resistance of -20℃~280℃.

[0040] It can be understood here that, in addition to the preferred materials given above, the metal mesh 201 and silicone rubber 202 can also be made of other materials, such as iron mesh, aluminum alloy mesh, etc. for the metal mesh 201; and silicone rubber 202 can be made of silicone rubber with other thermal conductivity.

[0041] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 3 As an optional implementation of the heating component, the heating component 3 includes a heating plate 301, a heating tube 302, and a coupler 303. The top of the heating plate 301 is in close contact with the bottom of the heat-conducting plate 2. The bottom of the heating plate 301 is fixed to the upper part of the coupler 303 by screws. The lower part of the coupler 303 is fixed to the lower part of the outer shell assembly 4 by screws. The heating tube 302 is fixed to the bottom of the heating plate 301 and is electrically connected to the coupler 303.

[0042] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 A plurality of first studs 301a are provided at the bottom of the heating plate 301. During assembly, the heating plate 301 is fixed to the upper part of the coupler 303 by screws through the plurality of first studs 301a provided at the bottom. The heating plate 301, the heating tube 302 and the coupler 303 are all prior art.

[0043] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 3As an optional embodiment of the housing assembly, the housing assembly 4 includes a plastic locking ring 401 and a plastic housing 402. The plastic locking ring 401 is fixedly disposed inside the plastic housing 402 and snaps onto the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup 1. The plastic housing 402 covers the plastic locking ring 401 and the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup 1 on the outside and is connected and fixed to the coupler 303 by screws.

[0044] Specifically, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 A plurality of second studs 401a are provided at the bottom of the plastic locking ring 401.

[0045] More specifically, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The plastic locking ring 401 is a ring structure with an opening, and a connecting screw 401b is connected to the opening for tightening or loosening the opening of the plastic locking ring 401. When it is necessary to snap the plastic locking ring 401 onto the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup 1, the connecting screw 401b can be loosened first, so that the opening of the plastic locking ring 401 can be pried open to both sides, making it easier to snap the plastic locking ring 401 onto the bottom of the high borosilicate glass cup 1. Then, the connecting screw 401b is tightened to close the opening of the plastic locking ring 401, thus securing the plastic locking ring 401 to the high borosilicate glass cup 1.

[0046] It should be noted that the novel glass cup with high thermal conductivity and uniform heat transfer provided by this utility model also includes a heating base (not shown in the figure), which mainly consists of a base shell, a control circuit board disposed inside the base shell, a control switch embedded on the outer surface of the base shell, a power plug, and a base coupler disposed on the upper surface of the base shell for coupling with the coupler 303 on the heating element 3; wherein, the control switch, the power plug, and the base coupler are all electrically connected to the control circuit board. In use, the glass cup can be supplied with the electrical energy required for heating by connecting to the mains power supply through the power plug. After the glass cup is powered on, the heating element 3 can be activated by pressing the control switch to heat the glass cup and raise the temperature of the liquid inside. It should be noted that the heating base is prior art and is not the subject of this utility model. Its specific structure and working principle are the same as those of existing glass electric kettle bases on the market, so they will not be described in detail here.
