[0015] The thermos bottle heating device and thermos bottle provided in this disclosure have the following advantages compared to the prior art. The insulated bottle heating device allows the heating mechanism to be directly inserted into the liquid inside the bottle, thus suppressing the cooling of the liquid and maintaining a high temperature for an extended period. Furthermore, the connecting module is flexible (bendable), and the heating element module is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Therefore, regardless of whether the bottle is placed horizontally, upside down, or upright, the heating element module remains immersed in the liquid, allowing the liquid to be heated. Insulated bottles, equipped with a heating device, can heat the liquid inside the bottle and maintain a high temperature for extended periods. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the embodiments shown below are examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make appropriate changes and improvements without departing from the gist of the present invention, and these are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

[0018] (First Embodiment: Thermos Bottle Heating Device) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the thermos bottle heating device 1 according to the present embodiment is attached to a thermos bottle 100 having a predetermined size and heats and keeps warm the liquid in the bottle, and includes a heating mechanism 11, a control mechanism 12, and a controller 13.

[0019] The heating mechanism 11 is connected to the control mechanism 12, and a controller 13 is provided in the control mechanism 12.

[0020] The control mechanism 12 is fitted or screwed to the opening of the bottle body 2 and functions as a lid.

[0021] The heating mechanism 11 is inserted into the liquid storage chamber (liquid storage space) in the bottle and contacts the liquid, and performs heating by power supply from the controller 13.

[0022] The controller 13 is a circuit board on which control elements are mounted and has functions such as heating control, startup, and stop.

[0023] The opening dimensions of the control mechanism 12 and the thermos bottle 100 are designed to match, and airtightness is also ensured.

[0024] (Configuration of Heating Mechanism) The heating mechanism 11 comprises a heating element module 111 and a connection module 112. One end of the connection module 112 is connected to the heating element module 111, and the other end is connected to the control mechanism 12, which is electrically connected to the controller 13 by passing through the inside of the control mechanism 12.

[0025] The heating element module 111 comprises a heating element 115, a temperature sensor 113, and a housing 114, with the heating element 115 and temperature sensor 113 being installed inside the housing 114.

[0026] The temperature sensor 113 is electrically connected to the controller 13 and continuously measures the liquid temperature, comparing it with a temperature threshold in the controller 13. If the temperature is below the threshold, the heating element 115 is activated; if it is above the threshold, the heating element 115 is deactivated, thereby maintaining a constant liquid temperature.

[0027] The heating element module 111 is designed to be always vertically immersed in the liquid inside the bottle. The connecting module 112 is flexible, and regardless of whether the insulated bottle 100 is upright, inverted, or horizontal, gravity ensures that the heating element module 111 is always in contact with the liquid. The length of the connecting module 112 is set to be greater than the depth of the lumen of the insulated bottle 100, allowing heating even with a small amount of liquid.

[0028] (Connection module configuration) The connection module 112 includes a silicone tube 1121, a first connection wire 1122, and a second connection wire 1123.

[0029] The first connection wire 1122 electrically connects the heating element 115 to the controller 13, and the second connection wire 1123 electrically connects the temperature sensor 113 to the controller 13. The silicone tube 1121 is hollow and both ends are sealed to prevent liquid ingress. Both ends are connected to the housing 114 and the control mechanism 12, respectively.

[0030] (Configuration of the heating element module) The housing 114 consists of an outer shell 1141, an inner shell 1144, and a silicone cover 1147.

[0031] The outer shell 1141 is made of stainless steel and has a hollow structure. The inner shell 1144 is made of aluminum and is placed in the cavity within the outer shell 1141. It has a first mounting portion 1145 and a second mounting portion 1146 for fixing the heating element 115 and the temperature sensor 113, respectively. The outer shell 1141 consists of a first housing 1142 and a second housing 1143, which are fixed together by fitting or screw connection.

[0032] The inner shell 1144 also functions as a weight, ensuring that the heating element 115 is always positioned at the bottom of the liquid.

[0033] A silicone cover 1147 is provided on the outer circumference of the outer shell 1141, serving the purpose of protection and anti-slip.

[0034] Food-grade silicone can be used for the silicone tube 1121 and the silicone cover 1147.

[0035] (Configuration of the control mechanism) The control mechanism 12 comprises a first cover body 121 and a second cover body 122. The second cover body 122 is detachably connected to the opening of the insulated bottle 100 by a screw connection or a fitting structure. The second cover body 122 is provided with a storage space 123, and the controller 13 is housed inside to prevent contact with liquid and ensure waterproofness.

[0036] Furthermore, a water outlet hole 1221 is formed in the second cover body 122, which is opened and closed by the first cover body 121. By opening the first cover body 121, the liquid inside the insulated bottle 100 can be poured out through the water outlet hole 1221.

[0037] (Power supply configuration) A power supply mechanism is provided inside the control mechanism 12 and is electrically connected to the controller 13. The power supply mechanism is installed in the second cover body 122 and is equipped with a power interface 14, allowing power to be supplied from an external power source (such as a mobile battery). In another embodiment, a power storage unit (battery) is built in, making it usable even in environments without an external power source, such as outdoors.

[0038] (Second embodiment: Insulated bottle) As shown in Figures 5 to 8, the insulated bottle 100 of the present invention comprises the insulated bottle heating device 1 and the bottle body 2. The insulated bottle heating device 1 is attached to the opening of the bottle body 2 and heats the liquid inside the bottle. The temperature sensor 113 constantly detects the liquid temperature, and the controller 13 controls the heating element 115, thereby maintaining the liquid at a high temperature for a long period of time. Furthermore, regardless of whether the insulated bottle 100 is upright (Figure 6), inverted (Figure 7), or placed horizontally (Figure 8), the flexibility of the connection module 112 and the center of gravity design of the inner shell 1144 ensure that the heating element module 111 is always immersed in the liquid. This realizes a tilt-prevention type heating and insulation mechanism.
