The present invention relates to a technical field of a drinking beverage container, particularly with regard to a stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container able to reduce occurrence of unpleasant odor in filled drinking beverages in the container and to enhance convenience and cleanness of cleaning up.
2. The Related Arts
Usually, water plays an important role in aspect of human health. Many studies have suggested having appropriate water intakes. In recent years under requirements of drinking hygiene and environmental protection, more and more people carry drinking container with them for personal handy drinking when they go out. In addition, under requirements of health preservation and maintenance of flavors, drinking containers with thermal insulation effect is further developed, and such kind of thermal insulation drinking water containers is mainly stainless steel bottles or jars.
However, when people use the aforementioned stainless steel thermal insulation drinking water container to fill and load drinking water (such as hot water, hot coffee, hot tea, hot ginseng tea, and so on), hot drinking water with high temperatures is easy to react with stainless steel inner walls and occur unpleasant odor in the drinking water. As a result, such odor not only causes drinkers to worry about hygiene issues, but also destroys the flavor of the drinking water. In addition, after long-termed use of the inner wall of the stainless steel thermal insulation drinking water container, its metal surface is prone to generation of attachments. Addition to wear of the inner wall due to brushing and washing, the container becomes difficult to be effectively cleaned and cleanliness of the interior of the stainless steel thermal insulation drinking water container is highly affected.
In other words, the existing drinking container has common problem of being prone to have unpleasant odor and inconvenience of cleaning up, and so on, and is unable to satisfy requirements of actual use due to influence of its imperfect design. Hence, how to solve the existing problem is an important issue in the industry.
Accordingly, the named inventors have researched further on the aforementioned problem in use of existing drinking containers, and actively seek a solution through many years of research and manufacturing experience during working in the related industry. After continuous efforts to research and test, a stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container and a manufacturing method thereof is finally successfully developed in order to overcome regret of using the existing drinking container.
Therefore, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container able to reduce occurrence of unpleasant odor in filled drinking beverages in the container, and to enhance convenience and cleanness of cleaning up for improving its utility and usefulness.
In addition, another main objective of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method of the stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container. By the method, a ceramic layer is formed on an inner wall face of the stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container comprising a vacuum mezzanine. Through characteristics of high density and smoothness of ceramic, occurrence of unpleasant odor in drinking beverages is reduced and a manufacturing yield of the container is raised.
The present invention is primarily through the following technical means to physically realize the aforementioned objectives and effectiveness. The container comprises a bottle body made of stainless steel, and the bottle body comprises a chamber with an upward opening. Furthermore, a vacuum mezzanine is formed between inner and outer walls of the bottle body.
The chamber of the bottle body comprises an inner wall face, and a surface of the inner wall face comprises a smooth ceramic layer.
The manufacturing method of the stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container comprises the following.
A. In a first step of preparing and providing a bottle body, a bottle body with a chamber is made and produced in use of processing technology to form an interval mezzanine between the inner and outer walls of the bottle body.
B. In a second step of vacuuming, air in the interval mezzanine is entirely extracted out of the interval mezzanine between the inner and outer walls of the bottle body in use of vacuuming technology, and the mezzanine is sealed to form a vacuum mezzanine at peripheral sides and a bottom side of the bottle body.
C. In a third step of surface treatment, an inner wall face of the chamber of the bottle body is roughened in use of surface treatment technology.
D. In a fourth step of spray coating, a ceramic layer is spray coated on the inner wall face of the chamber of the bottle body.
E. In a fifth step of baking and drying, the ceramic layer is baked and dried in use of baking and drying technology in order to make the ceramic layer dried enough for adhesion on the inner wall face of the chamber of the bottle body.
F. In a sixth step of high temperature sintering, the ceramic layer is high-temperature sintered in use of high-temperature sintering technology in order that the ceramic layer is completely adhered and attached to the inner wall face of the chamber, and forms a ceramic smooth surface for completion of the bottle body of the stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container.
Therefore, through physically realizing the above mentioned technical means, when the bottle body of the stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container of the present invention is used to load and fill with drinking beverages, the filled drinking beverages is hardly reacted with the ceramic layer after the high-temperature drink beverages contact with the ceramic layer since the inner wall face of the bottle body is equipped with the ceramic layer. As a result, phenomenon of odor occurring of the filled drinking beverages is able to be reduced to ensure safety of drinking beverages and to avoid destroying of flavors of drinking beverages. Moreover, after long-termed use of the inner wall equipped with the ceramic layer of the bottle body, cleanness of the chamber of the bottle body is capable of being effectively maintained and the bottle body can be conveniently cleaned by users because the ceramic layer is not easily adhered, attached and worn by foreign matters. As a result, the stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container of the present invention is much more improved than the existing products in effective aspects of “odor reducing”, “convenience of cleaning”, “enhancing cleanness”, etc.
In order for further understanding to constitutions, features and other purposes of the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention is recited and depicted accompanying with the drawings described in detail as follows in order to allow those who are familiar with the technical field able to implement the present invention in accordance with the following specification.
The present invention relates to a stainless steel thermal insulation drinking beverage container and a manufacturing method thereof. The physical embodiments of the present invention and components thereof illustrated together with accompanying drawings are described for convenience only to specify everything with regarding to front and rear, left and right, top and bottom, upside and downside, and horizontal and vertical references, etc. Such descriptions are not to limit the present invention, nor to limit any illustrated component of the present invention to any position or spatial orientation.
