The present invention relates to a light emitting beverage container, and more particularly, a cup containing a beverage and a pedestal for accommodating a light emitting unit are detachably assembled, and a light emitting beverage container for selecting the light emitting color of the light emitting unit according to the beverage contained in the cup. It is about.

(Background)

The cups used to drink various drinks in restaurants and homes are designed in numerous shapes, colors, and materials depending on the place of use, use, and type of beverage. So-called 'light-emitting cups' have been developed and used in part to create a different atmosphere by emitting light. Examples of such conventional light emitting cups include Korean Utility Model Registration No. 225886 (registered on March 21, 2001).

However, the conventional light emitting cups including the utility model registration light emitting cups can achieve the desired purpose of emitting the cups in various colors of the LED, but some problems are caused in the use process.

One of the problems of the conventional light emitting cup is a problem of damage to the light emitting part during the cleaning process, in which a light emitting part as an electric device including a light emitting element, a battery, and a light emitting circuit is integrally mounted to the cup.

That is, in the conventional light emitting cup, since the light emitting part is integrally mounted to the cup, even though some waterproof measures for protecting the light emitting part are applied, careful attention is not paid to the light emitting part when the light emitting cup is washed (washing) after use. There is an inconvenience to pay attention, and nevertheless, the light emitting part is not damaged due to water penetration into the light emitting part.

Another problem of the conventional light emitting cup is that the light emitting unit does not show a reverse function since the light emitting color of the light emitting unit cannot be selected according to the type or color of the contents contained in the cup.

For example, it is widely known that color affects the psychology of a person, including appetite, as yellow and red strains are reported to stimulate appetite, while blue strains reduce appetite but feel cool and clean. have.

Despite such close correlation between food and beverages, conventional light emitting cups uniformly emit only a predetermined color or emit various colors regardless of the type or color of beverage contained in the cup. Because it emits light with a meaningless flickering, for example, a cool soft drink emits a reddish color, which may reduce the cool feeling, and strawberry juice emits a blued color, which makes it feel fresh. As can be seen, rather, light emission often shows a reverse function.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional light emitting cup as described above, and to detachably assemble and detach the cup in which the beverage is contained and the base in which the light emitting part is accommodated, and the light emitting color of the light emitting part. By allowing the user to select according to the type and use of the beverage contained in the cup, it is possible to prevent the light emitting unit from being damaged when the cup is washed, and at the same time to emit an optimal color for the type of beverage.
