What is the difference between a thermos mug and an insulated cup

What is an Insulated Cup?

The insulated cup is a structure similar to a vacuum liner, which seals the two layers of cup walls and draws them into a vacuum to reduce heat conduction and keep warm. Generally, it includes an inner cup and a cup bottom, and the outer cup is equipped with a jacket cup outside, and the heat insulation cup has a simple structure, low cost, easy manufacturing and use, and good heat insulation effect.

What is a thermos mug?

A thermos cup, simply put, is a cup that can keep warm. Generally, it is a container made of ceramic or stainless steel and a vacuum layer, with a lid on the top, tightly sealed, and the vacuum insulation layer can delay the heat dissipation of liquids such as water installed inside, so as to achieve the purpose of heat preservation.

The difference between a thermos cup and an insulated cup:

1. The structure is different.

The thermos cup is generally made of ceramic or stainless steel and a vacuum layer to hold water, with a lid on the top, tightly sealed, and the vacuum insulation layer can make the water and other liquids installed inside delay heat dissipation, so as to achieve the purpose of heat preservation. The thermal insulation effect of the thermos cup is mainly manifested in the fact that the cup is not hot, but also can ensure that the water in the cup is isolated from the outside air, so as to achieve the effect of insulating water.

And the insulated cup, including the inner cup and the bottom of the cup. Unlike thermos, insulated cups don't necessarily have a lid on top. The heat insulation of the insulating cup mainly refers to the outer cup with a coat cup outside the inner cup, and an air layer for heat insulation is formed between the outer cup and the inner cup, just to prevent the water in the cup from being hot.

Only vacuum insulated cups and double-walled glasses have the dual effect of heat preservation and heat insulation.

In addition to being provided with a coat cup outside the inner cup, some heat-insulating cups will also be provided with a plurality of reinforcing heat-insulating ribs on the outside of the cup wall, and the cup edge reinforcing ribs and connecting ribs are respectively arranged on the outside of the cup wall and the cup wall close to the cup mouth, and the upper boss, the middle boss and the lower boss are respectively arranged on the inner side of the cup wall from top to bottom. Compared with the existing cups, it has the characteristics of simple structure, beautiful use, heat insulation and not hot hands. Moreover, the heat insulation reinforcing ribs it uses not only increase the strength of the cup without heat insulation, but also basically save the trouble of using the cup holder.

2. The principle of heat preservation is different.

A thermos cup is a cylinder-shaped vessel made according to the principle of a Dewar vial in order to keep a liquid or solid (ice) hot or cold for several hours. The structure of the insulated cup is similar to that of a vacuum liner, which seals the two layers of cup walls and draws them into an approximate vacuum, which reduces the heat conduction and plays a role in heat preservation.

3. Different uses.

A thermos cup is best used to drink boiled water, and should not be used to make acidic substances such as tea, coffee or milk; In addition to stainless steel vacuum cups, ceramic cups, glass cups, food-grade plastic cups, etc. can be used to make tea or hold other drinks, and insulated cups are mostly used in the production of coffee cups.

The thermos cup is vacuumed between the inside and outside to prevent the transmission of temperature, and the temperature transmission in the middle of the insulated cup is not hot, so it is not insulated.

A thermos cup is a thermos-like structure, a cylindrical container, usually with a glass lining, made according to the principle of a Dewar fidelity flask in order to keep liquids or solids (such as ice) hot or cold for several hours.

The insulated cup is a structure similar to a vacuum liner, which seals the two layers of cup walls and draws them into an approximate vacuum, so that the heat conduction decreases and plays a role in heat preservation.

The principle of the two is different, simply put, one is to reflect heat, and the other is to block heat dissipation. Of course, it's the same.

The thermos cup is to reduce the heat exchange inside and outside the cup, the heat shield cup is generally two layers, there is a hollow space between the two layers to prevent the shell from heating, and the heat shield cup is not insulated.

Thermal insulation is for a long time, and thermal insulation just doesn't burn your hands.

Thermos cups and insulated cups are very common in our lives, so what is the difference between them? What should I pay attention to when using a thermos cup? Let's talk to you today.

1. The difference between a thermos cup and a heat shield cup.

1. The principle of heat preservation is different. A thermos cup, similar to a thermos, is a cylindrical container made according to the principle of a Dewar fidelity flask in order to keep the liquid hot or cold for several hours. The heat insulation cup has a vacuum liner structure, which seals the two layers of cup walls and draws them into an approximate vacuum, which reduces heat conduction and plays a role in heat preservation.

2. Different uses. The thermos cup is used to drink boiled water, and should not be used to make acidic substances such as tea, coffee or milk; In addition to stainless steel vacuum cups, ceramic cups, glass cups, food-grade plastic cups, etc. can be used to make tea or hold other drinks, and insulated cups are mostly used in the production of coffee cups.

3. The structure is different. The thermos cup is generally made of ceramic or stainless steel plus a vacuum layer to hold the water container, the top has a lid, the seal is tight, the vacuum insulation layer can make the water and other liquids installed in the inside delay the heat dissipation, in order to achieve the purpose of heat preservation, the thermal insulation effect of the thermos cup is mainly manifested in the cup is not hot, but also can ensure that the water in the cup and the outside air are isolated, so as to achieve the effect of heat preservation water. The heat insulation cup, including the inner cup and the bottom of the cup, is different from the thermos cup is that the top of the heat insulation cup does not necessarily have a lid, the heat insulation of the heat shield mainly refers to the outer cup with a coat cup outside, and the air layer for heat insulation is formed between the outer cup and the inner cup, just to prevent the water in the cup from not being hot, only the vacuum vacuum insulation cup and the double-layer glass cup have the dual effect of heat preservation and heat insulation.

2. Precautions for the use of thermos cups.

1. Don't use a thermos cup to fill the soup with greasy liquids, if you don't clean the soup in a thermos cup, there will be a very serious smell of oil, no matter what method you use to get rid of it, it is difficult to remove the greasy smell.

2. Do not use sharp metal utensils to collide with the bottle body, so as not to damage the insulation structure and affect the thermal insulation effect.

3. Do not use steel wire and other things to clean the thermos cup, it will damage the cup body inside the thermos cup and affect the heat preservation effect, so do not use the thermos cup to install some difficult things to clean.

After the above introduction, we all know what to pay attention to when using a thermos cup, right? There is a big difference between the thermos cup and the heat shield in terms of structure and principle, and you can buy it according to your actual situation.
