Abstract

An overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid and a bottle arrangement with the same, the overturning device includes a measuring bucket for using with a bottle body. The measuring bucket has a backflow channel, a first compartment, and a second compartment having an inlet opening, and a backflow opening. The first compartment is communicated with the inlet opening, wherein the backflow opening is communicated with the backflow channel, wherein the measuring bucket has a first state in which the fluid in the first compartment is capable of flowing into the second compartment, and a second state in which the fluid in the first compartment is not capable of flowing into the second compartment. The surplus fluid in the second compartment will flow back into the bottle body so that problem of accuracy and practicability of overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid is solved.

2. The overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid according to claim 1, wherein said first compartment has a guiding channel guiding the fluid in said first compartment to flow into said second compartment, wherein said guiding channel is inclinedly arranged to define a high location at a relatively higher position and a low location at a relatively lower position, wherein said inlet opening is provided at said low location.

3. The overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid according to claim 1, wherein said measuring bucket further has a discharge channel for communicating the bottle body to said first compartment, and an inlet channel provided above said second compartment and is communicated with said second compartment.

4. The overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid according to claim 3, wherein said inlet channel and said backflow channel are respectively provided at two sides of said second compartment.

5. The overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid according to claim 3, wherein said measuring bucket comprises a first measuring bucket and a second measuring bucket which are integrated with each other, wherein said inlet channel has a first inlet channel and a second inlet channel which are sealedly open butt joined with each other, wherein said first compartment has a first lower compartment and a first upper compartment which are sealedly open butt joined with each other, wherein said first lower compartment, said first inlet channel, said backflow channel, and said second compartment are provided in said first measuring bucket, wherein said first upper compartment, said first inlet channel, and said discharge channel are provided in said second measuring bucket, wherein said discharge channel is sealedly open butt joined with said second compartment.

6. The overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid according to claim 1, wherein said backflow channel is provided with a one-way valve for preventing the fluid in the bottle body from flowing into said second compartment in said first state.

7. The overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid according to claim 1, wherein said backflow channel has a first backflow chamber having a base wall and an opening communicated with said first compartment.

8. The overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid according to claim 3, further comprising a first top cap capped on said measuring bucket, wherein said first top cap has a sealing portion for covering said inlet channel and said first compartment, and a discharge opening communicated with said discharge channel.

9. A bottle arrangement, comprising:

a bottle body defining a receiving chamber having a bottle opening and a bottle base, and an overturning device for measuring and dispensing fluid in claim 1, wherein said measuring bucket is mounted at said bottle opening, wherein said first compartment is communicated with said receiving chamber, wherein said backflow channel is communicated with said receiving chamber.

12. The bottle arrangement according to claim 9, wherein said first compartment has a guiding channel guiding the fluid in said first compartment to flow into said second compartment, wherein said guiding channel is inclinedly arranged to define a high location at a relatively higher position and a low location at a relatively lower position, wherein said inlet opening is provided at said low location.

13. The bottle arrangement according to claim 9, wherein said measuring bucket further has a discharge channel for communicating the bottle body to said first compartment, and an inlet channel provided above said second compartment and is communicated with said second compartment.

14. The bottle arrangement according to claim 13, wherein said inlet channel and said backflow channel are respectively provided at two sides of said second compartment.

15. The bottle arrangement according to claim 13, wherein said measuring bucket comprises a first measuring bucket and a second measuring bucket which are integrated with each other, wherein said inlet channel has a first inlet channel and a second inlet channel which are sealedly open butt joined with each other, wherein said first compartment has a first lower compartment and a first upper compartment which are sealedly open butt joined with each other, wherein said first lower compartment, said first inlet channel, said backflow channel, and said second compartment are provided in said first measuring bucket, wherein said first upper compartment, said first inlet channel, and said discharge channel are provided in said second measuring bucket, wherein said discharge channel is sealedly open butt joined with said second compartment.

16. The bottle arrangement according to claim 9, wherein said backflow channel is provided with a one-way valve for preventing the fluid in the bottle body from flowing into said second compartment in said first state.

17. The bottle arrangement according to claim 9, wherein said backflow channel has a first backflow chamber having a base wall and an opening communicated with said first compartment.

18. The bottle arrangement according to claim 13, further comprising a first top cap capped on said measuring bucket, wherein said first top cap has a sealing portion for covering said inlet channel and said first compartment, and a discharge opening communicated with said discharge channel.

10. A bottle arrangement, comprising a bottle body, a top cap, a first partition panel, a second partition panel, and a third partition panel, wherein said bottle body comprises a bottle base and a bottle wall, wherein said top cap is capped on a top side of said bottle wall, wherein said first partition panel and said second partition panel, which are extended upward from said bottle base, are fastened with said bottle wall, wherein said third partition panel is extended downward from a top portion of said bottle wall, wherein said first partition panel, said bottle base, and said bottle wall are enclosed to define a receiving chamber, wherein said second partition panel, said bottle base, and said bottle wall are enclosed to define a measuring-dispensing chamber, wherein said first partition panel, said third partition panel, and said bottle wall are enclosed to define a temporary storing chamber and a communicating channel, wherein said third partition panel and said bottle wall are enclosed to define a discharge channel, wherein said communicating channel communicates said temporary storing chamber to said measuring-dispensing chamber, wherein said measuring-dispensing chamber has a backflow opening, wherein said first backflow chamber communicates said backflow opening to said temporary storing chamber, so that the fluid overflowing from backflow opening of said measuring-dispensing chamber is capable of flowing into said first backflow chamber.
