Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cups, and particularly to a portable cup with an icing function.

Background Art

[0002] Currently, the water bottles commercially available have a simple structural design, and many of them only have basic functions such as storing water and drinking water, and can only meet the normal water-drinking needs of users, with limitations in functional applicability.

[0003] In daily movement, sports / fitness, outdoor activities, and situations such as daily bruises and sprains, local fever, muscle pain, joint swelling and pain, redness and swelling due to mild bruises, etc. are likely to occur in the body. In order to relieve discomfort and reduce swelling and pain, it is necessary to perform icing treatment in a timely manner. However, conventional water bottles can only achieve water storage at room temperature or simple heat insulation / cooling, and cannot automatically achieve the low-temperature icing function, and do not have the usability of physical icing, cooling, and relief of local discomfort.

[0004] So far, in order for users to perform temporary icing, it is usually necessary to prepare ice packs, ice cubes or special icing appliances in advance. Such special icing items are large in volume, inconvenient for storage, occupy space when carried alone, and ice cubes are easy to melt, and there is a limit to the cooling time by ice packs, and the convenience of carrying and using is very low.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a portable cup with an icing function to solve the problem of conventional cups that cannot provide icing treatment.

[0007] It includes a cup body, a lid assembly that is detachably attached to the cup body, and an icing assembly that is fixedly connected to the lid assembly. The icing assembly includes a coolant container that can hold a coolant and extend into the cup body, a seal cover provided at the open end of the coolant container, and a water-sealing silica gel provided between the seal cover and the coolant container. The lid assembly includes an intermediate lid and a fixing ring that is permanently connected to the intermediate lid, so that the icing assembly can be attached to and detached from the cup body as a whole, together with the lid assembly, making it a portable cup with an icing function.

[0008] Preferably, the lid assembly further includes a top lid connected to the upper side of the intermediate lid, with a separation cavity formed between the top lid and the intermediate lid.

[0009] Preferably, the intermediate lid is screw-connected to the cup body, and a first gasket is provided between the intermediate lid and the cup body.

[0010] Preferably, the top cover and the intermediate cover are connected via a connecting assembly, the connecting assembly including interlocking grooves and protrusions to restrict the detachment of the top cover from the intermediate cover.

[0011] Preferably, the groove is provided on the outer surface of the intermediate lid, and the projection is provided on the inner wall of the top lid.

[0012] Preferably, the intermediate lid is provided with a mounting ring molded radially outward, the side of the projection closest to the intermediate lid is beveled, and the position of the mounting ring corresponding to the projection is also beveled, thereby facilitating the projection to engage with the groove after it has overcome the mounting ring.

[0013] Preferably, a second gasket is provided between the upper lid and the intermediate lid.

[0014] Preferably, an annular extension extends outward from the top edge of the cooling agent container, and an annular vertical extension extends upward from the bottom of the fixing ring. The top of the annular vertical extension contacts the annular extension, so that the cooling agent container moves synchronously with the movement of the lid assembly away from the cup body.

[0015] Preferably, a lower joint extends outward from the bottom edge of the seal cover, and an upper joint extends from the side of the top of the fixing ring closest to the coolant container, and the upper joint is joined to the top of the lower joint in order to limit the axial displacement of the seal cover relative to the coolant container.

[0017] Compared to conventional technology, this invention has at least the following beneficial effects.

[0018] In this invention, the icing assembly is fixedly attached to the lid assembly, and the lid assembly is detachably attached to the cup body, thereby allowing the icing assembly to be attached and detached inside the cup body. Since the icing assembly is provided inside the cup body, and the volume of the cup body is more portable than that of an ice pack, a portable icing assembly can be realized. In addition, the vacuum insulation effect of the cup body can extend the usage time of the cooling agent inside the icing assembly.

[0019] If the coolant in the cup body is used in hot weather, the cooling effect will decrease. In this case, the lid assembly and the icing assembly can be taken out of the cup body and placed in the refrigerator, and then frozen in preparation for the next use. As a result, the coolant inside the cup body can be reused without replacement, which is clean and environmentally friendly.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] In the following, while referring to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 6, this embodiment provides a portable cup with an icing function. The portable cup with an icing function includes a cup body 1, a lid assembly 2 that is detachably attached to the cup body 1, and an icing assembly 3 that is fixedly connected to the lid assembly 2. The icing assembly 3, which contains a cooling agent, is made easy to carry when combined with the cup body 1 and lid assembly 2, and can be removed and iced as needed. Furthermore, if the cooling agent inside the cup body 1 is used in high-temperature weather, its cooling effect will decrease. In this case, the lid assembly 2 and icing assembly 3 can be removed from the cup body 1 and placed in a refrigerator to be frozen for the next use. This makes the cooling agent inside the cup body 1 reusable without replacement, making it clean and environmentally friendly.

[0024] The lid assembly 2 includes a top lid 201, an intermediate lid 202 connected to the top lid 201, and a fixing ring 203 fixedly connected to the intermediate lid 202.

[0025] In this embodiment, the intermediate cover 202 and the fixing ring 203 are fixed together by high-frequency welding to prevent loosening.

[0026] The intermediate cover 202 has a cylindrical structure with one end open, and the open end of the intermediate cover 202 is provided with a connecting groove 2021 that is used to engage with the seal cover 302.

[0027] The intermediate lid 202 is screw-connected to the cup body 1, and a first gasket 2022 is provided between the intermediate lid 202 and the cup body 1. The lid assembly 2 can be attached to and detached from the cup body 1 by screw connection.

[0028] The top cover 201 and the intermediate cover 202 are connected via a connecting assembly 4, which includes interlocking grooves 401 and projections 402 for connecting and securing the top cover 201 to the intermediate cover 202.

[0029] In this embodiment, the groove 401 is provided on the outer surface of the intermediate cover 202, and the projection 402 is provided on the inner wall of the upper cover 201. The upper cover 201 and the intermediate cover 202 are connected by a locking mechanism as the projection 402 engages with the groove 401.

[0030] Specifically, in order to facilitate engagement between the projection 402 and the groove 401, the side of the projection 402 closest to the intermediate cover 202 is sloped, and the intermediate cover 202 has a mounting ring 2023 that is molded radially outward, and the position of the mounting ring 2023 corresponding to the groove 401 is also sloped. When assembling the top cover 201 and the intermediate cover 202, the top cover 201 is precisely aligned with the intermediate cover 202, the projection 402 is precisely aligned with the groove 401, and the top cover 201 is moved toward the intermediate cover 202. Due to the engagement of the inclined surface of the projection 402 with the inclined surface of the mounting ring 2023, the projection 402 can press against and deform the bottom end of the inclined surface of the mounting ring 2023. When the top cover 201 comes into contact with the intermediate cover 202, the projection 402 moves into the groove 401 and ceases to press against the mounting ring 2023. The bottom end of the inclined surface of the mounting ring 2023 returns to its original position, and the intermediate cover 202 is locked into the groove 401. In this way, the fitting of the top cover 201 and the intermediate cover 202 is completed.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mounting ring 2023 may be made of hard plastic, and the position of the mounting ring 2023 corresponding to the projection 402 is made inclined to facilitate the projection 402 engaging with the groove 401 after it has moved over the mounting ring 2023.

[0032] Furthermore, there may be two projections 402, in which case the two projections 402 are distributed symmetrically on the inner wall of the top lid 201, and there may also be two grooves 401, with the two grooves 401 also distributed symmetrically on the intermediate lid 202, so that the two projections 402 and the two grooves 401 correspond to each other one-to-one. By fitting the two projections 402 and the two grooves 401 together, both sides of the top lid 201 and the intermediate lid 202 can be restricted synchronously, improving the stability after the top lid 201 and the intermediate lid 202 are assembled.

[0033] In this embodiment, a second gasket 204 is provided between the top lid 201 and the intermediate lid 202. The second gasket 204 ensures airtightness after the top lid 201 and the intermediate lid 202 are connected.

[0034] In this embodiment, a handle 2011 is fixedly attached to the top of the lid 201. The installation of the handle 2011 makes the cup easier to carry, and to improve comfort and slip resistance when gripping the handle 2011, a plastic layer, a rubber layer, or other anti-slip gripping layer may be provided on the outside of the handle 2011.

[0035] In this embodiment, a separation cavity 5 is formed between the top lid 201 and the intermediate lid 202. The separation cavity 5 effectively insulates the temperature difference between the inside and outside, thereby preventing condensation from forming on the outer surface of the top lid 201 due to the low temperature of the icing assembly 3.

[0036] The icing assembly 3 includes a cooling agent container 301 that can accommodate a cooling agent and extend into the cup body 1, a seal cover 302 provided at the open end of the cooling agent container 301, and a water-sealing silica gel 303 provided between the seal cover 302 and the cooling agent container 301.

[0037] In this embodiment, the material of the coolant container 301 is aluminum. In other embodiments, the material of the coolant container 301 may be stainless steel.

[0038] In this embodiment, the open end of the seal cover 302 extends into the interior of the coolant container 301, effectively preventing leakage that may occur during use or transport of the coolant by sealing the coolant inside the coolant container 301.

[0039] To enhance the sealing effect between the seal cover 302 and the coolant container 301, an annular joint groove is provided at the open end of the seal cover 302, the annular joint groove of the seal cover 302 is located above the annular extension portion 3031 of the coolant container 301, and a water-sealing silica gel 303 is fitted in the gap between the annular joint groove and the annular extension portion 3031. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the seal cover 302 and the coolant container 301 are in a sealed state.

[0040] An annular extension 3031 extends outward from the top edge of the coolant container 301, and an annular vertical portion 2031 extends upward from the bottom of the fixing ring 203, with the top of the annular vertical portion 2031 in contact with the annular extension 3031. The engagement between the annular vertical portion 2031 and the annular extension 3031 allows the coolant container 301 to move synchronously with the movement of the fixing ring 203 away from the cup body 1.

[0041] A lower joint 3021 extends outward from the bottom edge of the seal cover 302, and an upper joint 2032 extends from the side of the top of the fixing ring 203 closest to the coolant container 301, with the upper joint 2032 being joined to the top of the lower joint 3021. The combined action of the upper joint 2032 and the lower joint 3021 allows the upper seal cover 302 to be joined to the fixing ring 203, preventing the seal cover 302 from detaching from the coolant container 301, maintaining a certain degree of airtightness between the upper seal cover 302 and the fixing ring 203, and further limiting the axial displacement of the coolant container 301 relative to the seal cover 302.

[0042] The intermediate lid 202 and the fixing ring 203 are integrally and fixedly connected, the annular vertical portion 2031 and the annular extension portion 3031 are engaged, and the upper joint portion 2032 is connected to the lower joint portion 3021, so that the icing assembly 3 can be attached to and detached from the cup body 1 as a whole together with the lid assembly 2.

[0043] The joint groove 2021 allows the intermediate lid 202 to be joined to the top of the seal cover 302, and the engagement of the upper joint 2032 and the lower joint 3021 allows the seal cover 302 to be restricted to the open end of the coolant container 301.

[0044] The cup body 1 includes a housing 101 and a liner 102 that are fixedly connected, and an insulating cavity 103 is formed between the housing 101 and the liner 102. Specifically, the insulating cavity 103 is a vacuum cavity, and through the action of the cup body 1, a vacuum heat retention effect can be provided.

[0045] As described above, in this invention, the icing assembly 3 is fixedly attached to the lid assembly 2, and the lid assembly 2 is detachably attached to the cup body 1, thereby making the icing assembly 3 detachable inside the cup body 1. Since the icing assembly 3 is provided inside the cup body 1, and the volume of the cup body 1 is more portable than that of an ice pack, a portable icing assembly 3 can be realized. Furthermore, the vacuum insulation effect of the cup body 1 extends the usage time of the cooling agent inside the icing assembly 3. When the ice pack inside the cup body 1 is used in hot weather, its cooling effect will decrease. In this case, the lid assembly 2 and icing assembly 3 should be removed from the cup body 1 and placed in the refrigerator to be frozen for future use. This allows the ice pack inside the cup body 1 to be reused without replacement, making it clean and environmentally friendly.

[0046] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Equivalent replacements, ordinary modifications, or combinations based on the concept of the present invention are all included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
