Water cups are one of the daily essential tools for people to drink water. Traditional water cups include plastic cups, thermos cups, space cups, etc. However, traditional water cups have a defect that cannot change the temperature of water. For example, in the hot summer, many people need to drink cold drinks in order to quench their thirst. Usually, ice cubes are added to drinks at room temperature to cool down, and ice cubes are usually directly frozen from tap water, and the hygienic effect cannot be guaranteed. In addition, the ice cubes will melt quickly in the drinks, which not only affects the taste of the drinks, but also cannot be used repeatedly.
For better understanding of the above technical solutions, the above technical solutions are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
a cup body 10; and
a cup bottom 20, where the cup bottom 20 is connected to one side of the cup body 10, the cup bottom 20 and the cup body 10 cooperate to form a water-holding cavity 30 with an opening opposite to the cup bottom 20, the water-holding cavity 30 is configured for holding liquid drinks, the cup bottom 20 is protruded toward the water-holding cavity 30 to form a temperature regulating portion 40, the temperature regulating portion 40 has a temperature regulating cavity inside, and the temperature regulating cavity is configured to hold heat exchange substances, to exchange heat with the liquid drinks.
Specifically, the drinking cup includes a cup body 10 and a cup bottom 20. The cup body 10 and the cup bottom 20 can be made by integral molding, which can improve the tightness and fixability of the two, avoid liquid leakage, and ensure the normal use of the drinking cup. The cup body 10 and the cup bottom 20 can be made of metal or glass. The metal has better thermal conductivity, while the glass is more sensitive to heat and cold and is easy to burst. In practical application, it can be used according to actual needs. The cup body 10 can be a hollow cylinder, the cup bottom 20 is arranged at one end of the hollow cylinder. An opening is formed at the other end of the hollow cylinder, so that the cup bottom 20 and the cup body 10 enclose a water-holding cavity 30 for holding drinking water, beverages, beer, coffee, etc. The cup bottom 20 is protruded toward the water-holding cavity 30 to form a temperature regulating portion 40, so that the temperature regulating portion 40 is extended to the interior of the water-holding cavity 30. The temperature regulating portion 40 has a temperature regulating cavity, and the temperature regulating cavity can be filled with heat exchange substances, such as cold water, ice cubes, refrigeration liquid, etc. The heat exchange substances can be used to exchange heat with the liquid in the water-holding cavity 30 to reduce the temperature of the liquid in the water-holding cavity 30, thereby to meet the user's requirements for the taste and temperature of the liquid drinks. Of course, in other embodiments, the heat exchange substances may be hot water, hot steam, etc., which can increase the temperature of the liquid in the water-holding cavity 30 through heat exchange, which is convenient for users to drink.
In the technical solution adopted in this embodiment, a water-holding cavity 30 with an opening formed by the cup body 10 and the cup bottom 20 can be used to hold liquid drinks, and the user can drink the liquid drinks in the water-holding cavity 30 through the opening. The cup bottom 20 is protruded toward the water-holding cavity 30 to form a temperature regulating portion 40 with a temperature adjusting cavity. The temperature adjusting cavity can be filled with heat exchange substances, and the heat exchange substances can be used to exchange heat with the liquid drinks in the water-holding cavity 30, so as to adjust the temperature of the liquid drinks in the water-holding cavity 30 to meet the user's demand for the temperature of the liquid drinks.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, both the cup body 10 and the cup bottom 20 are made of silicone.
In the technical solution adopted in this embodiment, the silicone has good cold resistance and high temperature resistance, and can avoid severe deformation and bursting in cold or high temperature environments.
Further, in an embodiment of the present application, the heat exchange substances are cold water or ice cubes.
In the technical solution adopted in this embodiment, cold water or ice cubes can be used to cool the liquid drinks in the water-holding cavity 30. When the temperature of the cold water rises or the ice cubes melt, the drinking cup can be placed in a refrigerator for refrigeration or frozen, so that the temperature of the cold water in the temperature adjusting cavity can be lowered, or the water in the temperature adjusting cavity can be frozen into ice cubes. The circulation and reuse of the heat exchange substances in the temperature adjusting cavity is realized.
Further, in an embodiment of the present application, a surface of the cup body 10 is provided with a non-slip portion.
In the technical solution adopted in this embodiment, by providing the non-slip portion, it is convenient for the user to hold the cup body 10 and prevent the cup body 10 from slipping from the user's hand. The non-slip portion can be convex points provided on the cup body 10, convex stripes, or grooves, as long as the friction force between the user's palm and the cup body 10 can be increased.
The above are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and do not limit the scope of the present disclosure thereto.
