Smart Thermostatic Water Cup (Industrial Design Prototype)

1. Project Overview
This OEM/ODM project demonstrates the industrial design and structural prototype development of a smart thermostatic water cup for home, office and premium beverage applications. The reference design combines a 400 ml capacity, double-wall anti-scald structure, 316 stainless steel inner tank, bottom-mounted PTC heating module and silicone sealing system. Development covers exterior surface modeling, internal structural layout, rapid prototyping, ergonomic evaluation and heating-safety validation.

2. Industrial Design & Cup Structure
• Double-Wall Body: The reference structure uses a double-wall configuration to reduce direct heat transfer to the exterior gripping surface.
• 316 Stainless Steel Inner Tank: The demonstrated design incorporates a 316 stainless steel inner container for the beverage-contact section.
• Silicone Seal Stack-Up: Sealing components are arranged around the corresponding structural interfaces to support the cup’s liquid-containing and heating functions.
• Exterior Surface Modeling: The cup profile and exterior surfaces are developed digitally to define proportions, grip areas and overall product appearance.
• Ergonomic Evaluation: Physical prototypes are used to assess dimensions, handling and grip comfort before subsequent engineering.

3. PTC Heating & Temperature Control
• PTC Heating Module: A bottom-mounted PTC heating module is integrated into the reference structure for temperature-control functionality.
• 40–90°C Temperature Range: The demonstrated configuration supports adjustable temperature control within the specified range.
• ±1°C Reference Temperature Control: The reference project specifies temperature regulation accuracy of ±1°C under its defined operating conditions.
• 30 W Heating Power: The prototype configuration uses a specified 30 W heating system.
• Heating Structure Integration: The heating module, inner tank, sealing components and supporting electronics are coordinated within the cup’s internal architecture.

4. Smart Control & Prototype Validation
• App Connectivity: The reference product architecture supports app-based connectivity for compatible smart temperature-control functions.
• 12-Hour Reference Battery Life: The demonstrated configuration specifies up to 12 hours of operation under the corresponding test and usage conditions.
• Rapid Prototyping: Physical prototypes are produced to evaluate product dimensions, structural relationships and exterior design.
• Heating-Safety Validation: Prototype testing is used to evaluate the heating structure and related thermal behavior before further product engineering.
• Design Iteration: Findings from ergonomic, structural and heating evaluations can be incorporated into subsequent design revisions.

5. OEM/ODM Development Capability
• Smart Drinkware Development: Suitable for brands developing temperature-controlled cups, heated drinkware and related smart small appliances.
• Project-Based Customization: Capacity, exterior form, materials, heating architecture, temperature-control functions and smart connectivity can be developed according to individual project requirements.
• Mechanical & Electronic Integration: Supports coordinated development of the cup structure, heating module, sealing system, electronics and smart-control functions.
• Design-to-Prototype Support: Covers industrial design, 3D surface modeling, structural development, rapid prototyping and functional validation according to project scope.
• Production-Oriented Development: Validated design and structural data can provide a foundation for subsequent engineering, tooling and manufacturing preparation.
