Abstract

This invention provides a beverage cup that utilizes rotational power generation and heating, comprising a cup body, a cup bottom, a rotational power generation module, and a height adjustment module. The cup body has a drinking space. The cup bottom is located at the bottom of the cup body. The rotational power generation module is located at the bottom of the cup. The rotational power generation module includes a drive member that can be driven to rotate by pulling and a power generation member driven to rotate by the drive member. The rotational power generation module has a height adjustment module, which is used to selectively contact or separate the power generation member from the bottom surface of the cup body, so that when in contact, heat energy is generated by friction against the bottom surface of the cup body and the power generation member generates electricity, and when separated, the power generation member only generates electricity.

Claims

1. A beverage cup that utilizes rotational power generation and heating, comprising: The cup body is a beverage space; The cup also includes a bottom portion, which is located at the bottom of the cup body. A rotating power generation module is provided at the bottom of the cup. This module includes a driving member that can be rotated by pulling and a power generation member that is driven to rotate by the driving member. The rotating power generation module has a height adjustment module, which allows the power generation member to selectively contact or separate from the bottom surface of the cup body. When in contact, heat is generated by friction against the bottom surface of the cup body, and the power generation member generates electricity. When separated, the power generation member only generates electricity. The height adjustment module includes a beveled surface and a pressing unit. The beveled surface is located at the bottom of the rotating power generation module. The pressing unit is located on the outer side of the bottom of the cup, and an insertion part of the pressing unit is located inside the bottom of the cup. When the pressing unit is in the pressing position, the insertion part is inserted into the beveled surface, so that the power generation member contacts the bottom surface of the cup body.

2. The beverage cup that utilizes rotational power generation and heating as described in claim 1, wherein the top of the rotational power generation module is provided with a plurality of roller units.

3. A beverage cup that utilizes rotation to generate electricity and heat as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 2, wherein the power generation component is electrically connected to an energy storage unit disposed inside the bottom of the cup, the energy storage unit being configured to store the electrical energy generated by the power generation component and drive other components to operate.

4. The beverage cup that utilizes rotational power generation and heating as described in claim 3, wherein the outer periphery of the cup body is provided with a plurality of rotating rings; each of the rotating rings corresponds to a plurality of flavor adjustment units of a flavor adjustment module; the rotating rings control the flavor adjustment units to release flavor substances from the flavor adjustment units into the beverage space.

5. The beverage cup that utilizes rotational power generation and heating as described in claim 4, wherein the energy storage unit is electrically connected to a control module and a plurality of lamp units corresponding to the plurality of the rotating rings; the control module is electrically connected to the plurality of the lamp units; and the control module controls the corresponding lamp unit to emit a light signal when the energy storage unit reaches a predetermined condition.

6. The beverage cup that utilizes rotational power generation and heating as described in claim 5, wherein the control module switches the corresponding flavor adjustment unit to an operational state when the power of the energy storage unit reaches a predetermined condition.

7. The beverage cup using rotary power generation and heating as described in claim 6, wherein the flavor adjustment module is disposed on the cup wall of the cup body and connected to the beverage space; the flavor adjustment module includes a high-pressure generating unit and a plurality of the flavor adjustment units; the high-pressure generating unit supplies high-pressure gas to output the flavor substances of the flavor adjustment units to the beverage space.

8. The beverage cup using rotary power generation and heating as described in claim 7, wherein the flavor adjustment unit is a receiving space in the cup wall of the cup body and a solenoid valve connecting the receiving space to the high-pressure generating unit; the receiving space is connected to the beverage space via micropores, and the top of the receiving space is provided with an adding part; the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the control module.
