Squeeze slushy cup capable of realizing quick heat exchange for making slushy drinks
11999549 · 2024-06-04 ·

The present invention provides a slushy cup capable of realizing quick heat exchange. The slushy cup capable of realizing quick heat exchange includes an inner core, an outer cup body, and a sealing connection sleeve sleeving the outer cup body, wherein the sealing connection sleeve stores a refrigerant in an interlayer in a sealing manner through multi-layer sealing, and convex ribs are distributed on an outer circumferential side wall of a main body portion of the inner core, thereby increasing a contact area of heat exchange and enhancing the strength of an outer wall of the inner core. Through full contact between the convex ribs on an outer surface of the inner core and the refrigerant, cold energy of the refrigerant in the interlayer is quickly conducted to a drink in the inner core to quickly cool the drink into a slushy drink.
