Description

A water cup with humidification function Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water cup technology, specifically a water cup with humidification function. Background Technology

[0002] Water cups, as an indispensable item in daily life, come in a variety of designs and materials, aiming to meet people's drinking needs in different situations. As the name suggests, a water cup is a container used to hold liquids, especially water or other beverages, so that people can drink anytime and anywhere.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN220546096U discloses a water cup with a water replenishment and humidification function. The key technical features include a cup body with a cavity and a lid. The lid has a water storage cavity, which is equipped with a water inlet and a spray nozzle for connecting to the cavity. The spray nozzle has an atomizing device. The water inlet allows for quick filling of the water cup into the storage cavity, making refilling more convenient. The valve prevents water from flowing back into the cup body, ensuring the storage cavity can hold liquid even when upright. This allows the lid to continue humidifying even after being separated from the cup body, making it convenient for users to drink or refill water. Technical issues

[0004] The aforementioned water cup with humidification function still has some problems after actual use testing by engineers. When the water temperature inside the cup is high, water vapor is generated, which increases the air pressure inside the cup. When the cup is inverted at this time, a large amount of gas enters the water storage chamber and occupies the space. First, it will greatly reduce the amount of water entering the water storage chamber. Second, the atomizer will not have sufficient contact with the liquid during atomization, resulting in reduced atomization effect and intermittent atomization. At the same time, it will greatly affect the service life of the atomizer. The aforementioned water cup with humidification function has not effectively solved these problems. Therefore, a water cup with humidification function is proposed to address the above problems. Technical solutions

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing water cups with humidification functions, and to solve the problem that when the water temperature inside the cup is high, water vapor is generated, causing the air pressure inside the cup to rise, and when the cup is inverted, a large amount of gas enters the water storage chamber, occupying the space. This firstly, it greatly reduces the amount of water entering the water storage chamber, and secondly, it reduces the atomization effect and causes intermittent atomization due to insufficient contact between the atomizer and the liquid during atomization, and at the same time, it greatly affects the lifespan of the atomizer, a water cup with a humidification function is proposed.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A water cup with a humidifying function, comprising a cup body with a cup cavity and a cup lid. The cup lid is provided with a water storage cavity, and a water inlet pipe for connecting to the cup cavity is provided on the water storage cavity. A valve is provided at the water inlet pipe. The valve opens when the water cup is inverted, allowing liquid in the cup cavity to flow into the water storage cavity through the water inlet pipe. It closes when the water cup is upright, leaving the liquid in the water storage cavity. An atomizing device is also provided on the water storage cavity. An air outlet for venting is provided on the water storage cavity. A cap is hinged to the cup lid by a torsion spring. A drinking spout communicating with the cup cavity is provided on the cup lid. When the drinking spout is opened, it can be used to release pressure in the cup cavity. A trigger mechanism for opening and closing the cup lid and the cap is provided between them. The trigger mechanism is two-stage: the first stage is used to open the cap, and the second stage is used to activate the atomizing device.

[0007] Preferably, the triggering mechanism includes a button disposed inside the cup lid and reset by a spring, one end of the button extending to the outside of the cup lid, the button being provided with a first fastening part, and the cap being provided with a second fastening part corresponding to and cooperating with the first fastening part.

[0008] Preferably, the button is provided with a trigger part, and the cup lid is provided with a trigger switch opposite to the trigger part. The trigger switch is used to control the opening and closing of the atomizing device.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting mechanism for preventing button triggering is provided on one side of the button. The limiting mechanism includes an adjusting block that can be slidably disposed on the cup lid, a locking plate disposed on the adjusting block, and a locking block that cooperates with the locking plate disposed on the button.

[0010] Preferably, a temperature sensor is provided on the side of the bottom of the cup lid that contacts the cup cavity, and a temperature display is provided on the cup lid to display the water temperature monitored by the temperature sensor.

[0011] Preferably, the cap is provided with a soft plug corresponding to the drinking spout, and the soft plug is inserted into the drinking spout when the cap and the cup lid are closed.

[0012] Preferably, the cup lid contains a battery and a charging port for charging the battery.

[0013] Preferably, the cup lid is provided with a transparent panel, the transparent panel has movable holes corresponding to the button and the adjustment block respectively, and the transparent panel is provided with an unlocking / locking mark at the position of the adjustment block. Beneficial effects

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This utility model provides a water cup with a humidification function. Through the setting and cooperation of the trigger mechanism, since the travel of the button to open the cap is less than the travel of the atomizing device, the cap has already been opened by the button before the atomizing device is activated. That is, before the atomizing device is activated, the air pressure inside the cup has already been released through the drinking spout when the cap is opened. This prevents gas from entering the water storage chamber under air pressure and occupying a large amount of space inside the water storage chamber, which would greatly reduce the amount of water stored in the water storage chamber and affect the atomization effect of the subsequent atomizing device.

[0016] Meanwhile, the air outlet inside the water storage chamber can also release the air pressure inside the water storage chamber, preventing the air pressure from causing the liquid inside the water storage chamber to seep out from the atomizing device to the outside, and causing the liquid to adhere to the mist outlet outside the atomizing device, blocking the mist outlet and affecting the atomization effect. This further ensures that the subsequent atomizing device can continuously output water mist, and the atomization effect is not interrupted. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6. The water cup with humidification function according to this utility model includes a cup body 1 with a cup cavity and a cup lid 2. The cup lid 2 is provided with a water storage cavity 3, and the water storage cavity 3 is provided with a water inlet pipe 4 for connecting to the cup cavity. A valve 5 is provided at the water inlet pipe 4. The valve 5 opens when the water cup is inverted, allowing the liquid in the cup cavity to flow into the water storage cavity 3 through the water inlet pipe 4; it closes when the water cup is upright, leaving the liquid in the water storage cavity 3. An atomizing device 6 is also provided on the water storage cavity 3. An air outlet 7 for venting is provided on the water storage cavity 3. A cap 8 is hinged to the cup lid 2 via a torsion spring. A drinking spout 9 communicating with the cup cavity is provided on the cup lid 2. When opened, it can be used to release pressure in the cup cavity. A trigger mechanism 10 for opening and closing the two is provided between the cup lid 2 and the cap 8. The trigger mechanism 10 is two-stage. The first stage is used to open the cap 8 and the second stage is used to open the atomizing device 6.

[0029] The triggering mechanism 10 includes a button 101 disposed inside the cup lid 2 and reset by a spring. One end of the button 101 extends to the outside of the cup lid 2. The button 101 is provided with a first fastening part 102, and the cap 8 is provided with a second fastening part 103 corresponding to and cooperating with the first fastening part 102. The button 101 is provided with a triggering part 104, and a trigger switch 105 opposite to the triggering part 104 is provided inside the cup lid 2. The trigger switch 105 is used to control the opening and closing of the atomizing device 6. During operation, when the internal air pressure in the cup cavity increases due to water temperature, the triggering mechanism 10 first activates the atomizing device 6. When the user needs to drink water, they lightly press button 101, and the first latching part 102 separates from the second latching part 103. At this time, the cap 8 pops open, revealing the drinking spout 9, allowing the user to drink. Simultaneously, the opening of the drinking spout 9 releases the internal pressure of the cup body 1, preventing air from occupying the internal space when adding water to the water storage chamber 3 while the cup is inverted. The user then closes the cap 8 and inverts the cup, allowing the liquid inside to enter the inlet pipe 4. Simultaneously, due to gravity, the baffle on the valve 5 falls, opening the inlet pipe 4 and allowing liquid to enter the water storage chamber 3. After depressurization, the liquid in the water storage chamber 3... This design allows for the storage of a larger amount of liquid without causing gas to occupy space. Simultaneously, the air outlet 7 within the water storage chamber 3 expels air when liquid enters, ensuring the chamber is fully filled. This prevents air pressure from causing liquid to leak from the atomizing device 6 to the outside, which could then adhere to the external mist outlet of the atomizing device 6, clogging it and affecting the atomization effect. This ensures the atomizing device 6 can continuously and normally output water mist. When the user needs to activate the atomization function, pressing button 101 causes the trigger 104 to contact the trigger switch 105, triggering the atomizing device 6 to open. When the cup lid 2 and the cup body 1 are assembled together and the atomization function needs to be activated, since button 101 serves the dual functions of opening the cap 8 and activating the atomizing device 6, and the travel distance of button 101 in opening the cap 8 is less than the travel distance in activating the atomizing device 6, the cap 8 has already been opened by button 101 before the atomizing device 6 is activated. That is, before the atomizing device 6 is activated, the air pressure inside the cup body 1 has already been released through the drinking spout 9 when the cap 8 is opened, preventing gas from entering the water storage chamber 3 under air pressure and causing poor atomization effect.

[0030] Furthermore, a limiting mechanism 11 for preventing the button 101 from being triggered is provided on one side of the button 101. The limiting mechanism 11 includes an adjusting block 111 slidably disposed on the cup lid 2. A locking plate 112 is provided on the adjusting block 111. A locking block 12 that cooperates with the locking plate 112 is provided on the button 101. A transparent panel 18 is provided on the cup lid 2. The transparent panel 18 has movable holes corresponding to the button 101 and the adjusting block 111, respectively. An unlocking and locking mechanism is provided on the transparent panel 18 at the position of the adjusting block 111. Mark 19: During operation, to prevent accidental pressing of button 101 when using a water cup, the limiting mechanism 11 prevents button 101 from being pressed. When the user moves the adjusting block 111, it simultaneously moves the locking plate 112. When the locking plate 112 is engaged inside the locking block 12, button 101 can no longer be pressed. When the user moves the adjusting block 111 in the opposite direction, the locking plate 112 moves away from the locking block 12, at which point button 101 can be pressed normally. The lock / unlock mark 19 allows the user to visually see the state of button 101, making it more convenient to use.

[0031] Furthermore, a temperature sensor 13 is provided on the bottom of the cup lid 2 that contacts the cup cavity, and a temperature display 14 is provided on the cup lid 2. The temperature display 14 is used to display the water temperature monitored by the temperature sensor 13. During operation, in order to provide a better user experience, the temperature sensor 13 monitors the water temperature of the liquid in the cup body 1 in real time and displays the water temperature data through the temperature display 14 for the user to view.

[0032] Furthermore, the cap 8 is provided with a soft plug 15 corresponding to the drinking spout 9. The soft plug 15 is inserted into the drinking spout 9 when the cap 8 and the cup lid 2 are closed. During operation, when the cap 8 is closed, the soft plug 15 will be inserted into the drinking spout 9 to prevent liquid from leaking out of the cup body 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the cup lid 2 is provided with a battery 16 and a charging port 17 for charging the battery 16. When in operation, the battery 16 provides power to the electronic devices on the cup. When the battery 16 is low on power, the user can charge the battery 16 through the charging port 17.
