Temperature indicating structure of vacuum insulated bottle

Abstract

The temperature indicating structure of the vacuum insulated bottle includes a bottle body (1), a bottle base (10), a heat conduction assembly (6), a temperature indicating assembly, and a switch assembly. The bottom of the bottle body (1) and the bottle base (10) define a receiving cavity for receiving the temperature indicating assembly and the heat conduction assembly (6). When hot water or beverage is poured into the bottle body (1), the heat conduction assembly (6) in contact with the inner layer of the bottle body (1) senses the temperature of the liquid, and then the thermal energy guided and emitted by the heat conduction assembly (6) is directly transferred to the temperature indicating assembly. Thus, the temperature of the water / hot water in the bottle body (1) is indicated by the temperature indicating assembly. Thus, the user can conveniently focus on the temperature value of the beverage in the bottle body (1) and accurately select the appropriate temperature to drink the beverage. This prevents scalding. In addition, an extraction port (12) is formed at the bottom of the bottle body (1). A sealing plug (11) is hermetically connected with the air extraction port (12) to form a vacuum layer for heat retention. The purpose of connecting the gas channel on the sealing plug (11) with the air extraction port (12) is to facilitate the extraction of air to form a completely sealed vacuum cavity, thereby preventing the loss of heat retention and insulation.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of thermal insulation, and more particularly to a temperature-indicating structure for a vacuum-insulated bottle. [Background technology]

[0002] Insulated bottles are devices used by people to drink water. They are essential and common devices that can be used to carry hot or iced water while on the go. Currently, most insulated bottles on the market cannot display temperature, making it difficult for people to know the temperature of the water in the bottle before drinking it. This makes it easy for people to accidentally get burned by hot water. Furthermore, some bottles with a temperature display function require power to display the temperature on the display screen, which leads to the burden of needing to charge the device. Therefore, vacuum insulated bottles have been designed to display the temperature, eliminating the need for power to determine whether the water is suitable for drinking. In conventional vacuum insulated bottles, the temperature pointer is not evacuated most of the time. Therefore, heat flows out of the pointer and its components due to conduction and convection, resulting in a drop in the temperature inside the bottle. This reduces the insulating effect and, associated with this, cold and hot temperatures are transferred to the bottom of the bottle. Therefore, the temperature inside the insulated bottle tends to concentrate more around the bottle lid, negatively impacting the user's experience. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The present invention provides a temperature indicating structure for a vacuum insulated bottle by evacuating a temperature pointer to solve the drawbacks and deficiencies of the current technology. [Means for solving the problem]

The heat conduction assembly and the temperature indicating assembly are mounted within the receiving cavity. One end of the heat conduction assembly is in contact with the bottom of the bottle body, and the other end extends to the temperature indicating assembly. A switch assembly is provided at the bottom of the bottle base. An air extraction port is provided at the bottom of the bottle base.

[0021] The present invention proposes a temperature-indicating structure for a vacuum-insulated bottle.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the temperature-indicating structure for a vacuum insulated bottle includes a bottle body 1, a bottle base 10, a heat-conducting assembly 6, a temperature-indicating assembly, and a switch assembly. The bottle body 1 and the bottle base 10 surround the exterior and form a housing cavity that houses the heat-conducting assembly 6 and the temperature-indicating assembly. The heat-conducting assembly 6 and the temperature-indicating assembly are mounted within the housing cavity. One end of the heat-conducting assembly 6 contacts the bottom of the bottle body 1, and the other end extends to the temperature-indicating assembly. The switch assembly is provided at the bottom of the bottle base 10. An air extraction port 12 is provided at the bottom of the bottle base 10. The switch assembly includes a sealing plug 11, which has an air passage connected to the air extraction port 12. The sealing plug 11 is hermetically connected to the air extraction port 12 to form a vacuum layer.

[0023] In one embodiment, the temperature-indicating structure of the vacuum insulated bottle further includes a blocking member 14. The blocking member 14 is removably provided on the sealing plug 11. The blocking member 14 is hermetically connected to the sealing plug 11 to form a sealing layer.

[0024] The bottom of the bottle body 1 and the bottle base 10 surround the exterior and form a receiving cavity for the temperature-indicating assembly and the heat-conducting assembly 6. When the bottle body 1 is filled with hot water or beverage, the heat-conducting assembly 6, which is in contact with the inner surface of the bottle body 1, senses the temperature of the liquid and then directly transfers the thermal energy from the heat-conducting assembly to the temperature-indicating assembly, thereby indicating the temperature of the water / hot water in the bottle body 1 through the temperature-indicating assembly. This design allows users to easily focus on the temperature value and accurately select the appropriate drinking temperature for their water / hot water. This prevents burns. At the same time, the air extraction port 12 at the bottom of the bottle body 1 is hermetically connected to the sealing plug 11, forming a vacuum layer for heat retention. The air passage on the sealing plug 11 communicates with the air extraction port 12, facilitating air extraction and forming a completely sealed vacuum cavity. The blocking member 14 further enhances the sealing of the vacuum cavity, thereby preventing loss of heat retention and insulation.

[0025] In one embodiment, the temperature indicating assembly includes a temperature sensor 7, a fixed spring 8, and a fixed member 9. The fixed spring 8 is mounted within the fixed member 9, which is mounted within the bottle base 10. One end of the temperature sensor 7 is connected to the heat conduction assembly 6, and the other end is elastically connected to the fixed spring 8. The temperature sensor 7 is a bimetallic temperature sensor. The temperature sensor 7, together with the heat conduction assembly 6, is fixed to the bottom of the bottle body 1 with a fixing screw. The heat conduction assembly 6 directly transfers the sensed thermal energy to the spiral bimetallic sheet of the temperature sensor, which then rotates the pointer of the temperature sensor 7. The temperature sensor 7 does not require power to operate; the temperature sensor 7 simply senses the thermal energy to drive its movable pointer to indicate the scale. At the same time, the bottle base 10 has a scale with temperature values ​​on its periphery. When the temperature sensor 7 receives sufficient thermal energy, the spiral bimetallic sheet rotates the pointer of the temperature sensor 7 due to its varying expansion rate. As a result, a temperature value corresponding to the expansion coefficient is displayed on the bottle base 10. The fixed spring 8 is used to realize an elastic connection, and rotates the pointer of the temperature sensor 7 using the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.

[0026] In one embodiment, the bottle base 10 includes a mounting seat 15. The mounting seat 15 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 9. A column 91 extends downward from each of both sides of the fixing member 9. The support column 91 is snap-fitted to the mounting seat 15. The mounting seat 15 is used to fix the temperature sensor 7 and the heat conduction assembly 6, thereby preventing them from loosening and reducing their effectiveness in use.

[0027] In one embodiment, an opening is provided on each side of the mounting portion 15 to form a snap-in portion 151 into which the support column 91 fits. The purpose of this design is to provide stability to prevent the temperature sensor 7 from coming loose and adversely affecting the effectiveness of its use.

[0028] In one embodiment, a bottle seat holder 3 is provided between the bottle body 1 and the bottle base 10. The bottle seat holder 3 is provided with a mounting hole 5. A heat conduction assembly 6 is disposed in the mounting hole 5. The bottle seat holder 3 is designed to connect the heat conduction assembly 6 to the bottom of the bottle body 1 by fixing the heat conduction assembly 6.

[0029] In one embodiment, a first sealing ring 2 is provided between the bottle seat holder 3 and the bottle body 1. The purpose of designing the first sealing ring 2 is to improve the sealing and prevent the loss of heat preservation and insulation effects.

[0030] In one embodiment, a second sealing ring 4 is provided between the bottle seat holder 3 and the bottle base 10. The purpose of providing the second sealing ring 4 is to improve the sealing and prevent the loss of heat retention and insulation effects.

[0031] In one embodiment, the bottle base 10 is provided with a scale for displaying temperature values, ranging from 90 degrees to 360 degrees, designed to prevent burns caused by high temperatures when drinking hot water.

[0032] In one embodiment, the bottom of the bottle base 10 is provided with a silicone pad 13. The silicone pad 13 is designed to enhance airtightness and also to protect the bottle seat holder from wear and tear.

[0033] The bottle is used as follows: Water is poured into the bottle body 1. Thermal energy from the bottom of the inner layer of the bottle body 1 is continuously released through the heat conduction assembly 6 and directly transferred to the temperature sensor 7, causing the pointer of the temperature sensor 7 to rotate. The bottle base 10 has a temperature scale around its periphery. When the temperature sensor 7 receives sufficient thermal energy, the spiral bimetal sheet rotates the pointer of the temperature sensor 7 at various expansion rates. This indicates the temperature value corresponding to the expansion rate at that time. The user can then drink the water after knowing its temperature. The above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural modifications made based on the inventive concept of the present invention, using the present specification and accompanying drawings, or by directly or indirectly applying them to other related technical fields, are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
