Description

Drinking container, exhaust system and method
This application requires to enjoy the U.S. Provisional Patent Application NO.60/617 that submitted on October 8th, 2004,375 rights and interests.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of drinking container and by container provide with leakage-preventing and without the method that spills the flow of liquid that container uses, leakage-preventing and without spilling container such as children's goblet and feeding bottle.
Background technology
The specialized feeding bottle of manufacturing is designed to have attempts to reduce zero to the feature near four months infant's eilema symptoms.Especially, US Patent NO.5, in 570.796 and 5,779,071, they be designed to eliminate mixing air and enter baby milk because can increase like this risk that produces eilema.Simultaneously, owing to be applied in too much " suckings " action greater than the nipple of four months the required bottle of children, can cause like this increasing the possibility that children produce sense of hearing infection (ear infection).
US Patent NO.5,570.796 and 5,779,071 device that discloses comprises a liquid storage pipe, have the tube portion that is attached to reservoir, like this as a liquid header effect, a plug-in unit is combined to be used on the liquid storage pipe so that the passage of air from the bottle outside to internal circulation to be provided.When the bottle in conjunction with those patent characteristics was reversed fully, reservoir (liquid header) comprised the liquid of liquid storage pipe inside, prevented that liquid from entering the opening of plug-in unit, because the opening of plug-in unit is positioned on the contained fluid level of reservoir.It should be noted that the reservoir volume greater than the volume of tube portion, therefore, liquid can all be included in the liquid header under the operating conditions of narrow orifice.Yet bottle can not be filled liquid to the liquid height that is higher than the insert aperture height, and when bottle is reversed, liquid will directly flow to air exhaust port.
On the other hand, because these bottles are discharged fully, when putting upside down fully, liquid will freely flow to liquid outlet, not need children's sucking.If bottle is tilted the problem that freely spills producing liquid like this, even during infant enters deep sleep, liquid also can trickle, and has so just caused that children suffocate.
Further, US Patent NO.5,570.796 and 5,779,071 described device need to carefully clean its many required parts and annex.Regrettably, many parts have inner and trickle zone, and cleansing pipe fitting or analogue that this need to be out of shape clean.Or even so implement, being difficult to also guarantee that its interior zone is cleaned, most of keepers have no stomach in complexity like this and expensive cleaning way.In addition, be difficult to determine by the sight control interior zone whether it cleans.
And, US Patent NO.5,570.796 and 5,779, in the 071 described device, when bottle is overflowed, also can run into the problem of leakage, because described liquid storage pipe and liquid header are filled volume above liquid header, make liquid enter plug-in unit and the final inside that arrives bottle here.In addition, the problem that the described device of these patents also can occur revealing with regard to when extruding when bottle, if the nipple that is connected on the bottle is extruded, if when shaking the bottle with the blended baby milk powder, if liquid is heated when surpassing 45 ℃, if or bottle changed by bar pressure to do the time spent, same, in these cases, liquid also can be flowed out by air outlet passage.
Some solution of problem schemes are described in the PCT of Pyun application WO2004/075810 to some extent like this.This application has been described a kind of feeding bottle, and it has makes extraneous air be introduced in the air intake unit of bottle body, thereby regulates the amount that extraneous air enters bottle.Described air intake unit comprises upper end division board and lower end division board, and an air intake pipe.Division board upper end comprises an air intake slit that is formed by plastics, and the bottom division board covers as one and covers the air intake slit fully, and it is to be fabricated from a silicon and to be equipped with first test valve of suckling and flowing out round about from air by-pass passage be used to preventing.There is such problem in this structure, and the sealing nipple is exerted pressure down to the institute of air intake unit, and the base plate deformable of silicon materials is so that completely or partially hinder the air intake slit at upper head plate, so has hindered the free-flowing of the air that enters bottle.
The air intake pipe is connected to the bottom surface of lower end division board, and by this way, air enters the body that upper end division board air intake slit is introduced into bottle when outside sucking power is applied to the air intake pipe.The second test valve is connected to the air intake pipe, and the first test valve allows air to enter bottle, and second dissipates steam or hot air from bottle.Therefore, although described the second test valve of the application of Pyun is used to prevent that milk from flowing out from reversing sense, it can not use separately, because allow the releasing heat air in air intake slotted opening direction.In actual applications, the air intake pipe is used to prevent that liquid from passing through second valve and revealing, and is actual as liquid memory use, as top patent is described.Therefore this device does not have the air intake pipe just can not use, because liquid will flow out by the air intake slit.
Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to a kind of beverage device, this device comprises that one is detachably attached to the exhaust system on bottle or the drinking container, described exhaust system comprises a plate-like part, an and body portion, has a check valve on being completed into it at this body portion, exhaust system provides and makes air pass into the passage of internal tank from the container outer flow, and valve allows air to enter container, but does not allow liquid through the exhaust system amount discharge container.In these a plurality of embodiments that will introduce body portion, comprise that one has the embodiment of duckbill valve (duck-bill valve).
Can in exhaust system, use a selectable anti-bubbler tube.Anti-bubbler tube makes air enter the reversing container and arrives the air pocket (air pocket) that forms at container bottom, when using container, is increased on container nozzle or the nipple.To be the user produce by nozzle or the nipple container of turning this air pocket.By the passage that provides air directly to arrive air pocket, the air of introducing do not allow with container in liquid mix and in liquid, produce bubble.
Exhaust system can be used to the multiple leakage-preventing and essentially no drinking container that spills, such as children's goblet, feeding bottle, adult's amusement beverage container, and other drinking container.Will will be appreciated that selectable anti-bubbler tube only is used to feeding bottle, other containers with exhaust system of the present invention also can offer container leakage-preventing or that nothing spills, or even can not manage.
Exhaust system, anti-bubbler tube and valve play one " diving bell (diving bell) " effect jointly, when being in basic vertical position, drinking container can prevent generally that liquid from entering anti-bubbler tube, this is to be collected into anti-bubbler tube until the cause that valve is opened and just escapes by air, that is to say, collect air as preventing that liquid from entering the barrier of anti-bubbler tube.The diving bell effect uses container to produce by the user, when the user puts exhaust system (being attached with anti-bubbler tube) to the container the time.The effect of diving bell makes the user acutely rock container and does not reveal or do not reveal to the vessel filling boiling water.So just complete filling liquid of container, that is, container can without limitation be filled.
When container is reversed when pouring out from container with liquid, produce vacuum pressure at internal tank at once, the valve air that is opened enters container.Because air is directed into container, valve discharges " newly " air and enters the volume of collecting air to anti-bubbler tube.Should can replace some collection air by " newly " air, therefore compressing is collected air to preventing bubbler tube.In this position, " diving bell " effect is not kept in anti-bubbler tube.Under any circumstance, anti-bubbler tube is finalized and is connected to the exhaust system body portion, only allows by this way a small amount of liquid to enter anti-bubbler tube.Therefore, liquid does not cover valve usually.Yet even liquid covers valve, valve prevents that liquid from entering the air inlet passage of exhaust system, although lack the diving bell effect, bottle is still to be operated under the mode of freely revealing.
Selectable anti-bubbler tube is important to neonatal use, because swallow the risk that lower air can have the larger eilema symptom of generation.Yet when the baby grew up, this invention also allowed the user to remove anti-bubbler tube and still keeps leakage-preventing exhaust system.
Exhaust system make the baby from bottle of the present invention at an easy rate by nipple or be attached to nozzle sucking on the bottle, in bottle, do not increase some vacuum pressures.Meanwhile, when bottle was reversed or be in obliquity, the valve of exhaust system reduced the possibility that liquid is revealed through exhaust system from bottle, so valve prevents the flow direction exhaust system.Valve is so designed, and having increased when the application force that produces flows out liquid from bottle does not need to apply higher suction, and like this, person capable of reducing using causes the risk of middle ear infection.On the other hand, needs for liquid flow out to be sucked, like this when bottle or container can imitate the chest conveying and prevent spilling of liquid when being reversed.
According to the present invention, a small amount of liquid has produced minimum vacuum pressure like this by nipple or nozzle flow container in container when container is reversed or place a certain angle.When children's teat or nozzle, exhaust system can be disposed in the container air environment, and the operation of minimum degree of vacuum is provided.This minimum vacuum pressure produces in container of the present invention and is poured out container guiding air as liquid and enters container until produce balance between internal tank and atmosphere from air environment.Therefore, container of the present invention need to an additional sucking power be accepted the process that liquid can imitate chest to carry like this so that the user provides from container.Yet the vacuum pressure of failing to recognize produces in container owing to discharge in using container processes.
Used in this, " freely revealing " meaning is that container is freely to reveal by exhaust system.Because exhaust system provides exhaust, for prevent by the time the leakage valve be necessary, all embodiment of the present invention implement in the mode of freely revealing.
Used in this, " without spill " means by the overflowing of container nipple or nozzle, and certain embodiments of the invention are to implement without the mode that spills.
Exhaust system of the present invention is convenient to clean especially, does not therefore need special cleaning apparatus because body portion and plate-like part do not comprise the inner or small zone that is difficult to arrive.On the contrary, all zones of body portion and plate-like part are to arrive at an easy rate.Therefore, the various assemblies of exhaust system can touch to clean fully.In addition, the various assemblies of exhaust system can pass through sight control in cleaning.
Exhaust system of the present invention can append on some available container in the commercial production of nipple.In other embodiments of the invention, " suction cup " and nozzle that exhaust system also can be combined be used for children, this suction cup also can comprise flexible nozzle.The nothing that device of the present invention can all use with the people of institute's has age spills container and uses, and for example, bicyclist and other sportsmen and motion participant can freely reveal without being benefited the container that spills basically from using.
