Description

Cup structure

The present invention relates to a cup structure, especially a cup structure with fluid channels.

Traditionally, when the beverage store sells hand-crank ice products, the bubble milk tea is sealed with a film sealing machine. When the user wants to drink with a straw, the straw is pierced through the sealing film and consumed, and then discarded in the recycling bin after drinking. , Because too many straws are abandoned in the environment and the ocean, and the straws cannot be reused due to difficulties in recycling, causing ocean pollution and too much plastic waste. Therefore, the government began to restrict the use of disposable straws.

In view of this, manufacturing a cup body structure that is environmentally friendly, does not change the user's usage habits as much as possible, and is suitable for the user to carry or use is the goal that needs great efforts at present.

The present invention provides a cup body structure, which is used to form a fluid channel in the cup body, and two ends of the fluid channel are formed with suction holes, so that the user can conveniently draw all the substances placed in the cup body structure.

A cup structure according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an inner cup, an outer cup and a cup cover. The inner cup has an inner surface, an outer surface and a first opening, and a groove is formed in the The outer surface is concave inward from the outer surface to the inner surface. The outer cup has an accommodating space and a second opening for accommodating the inner cup. The groove of the inner cup and the inner side of the accommodating space form a fluid channel, and the groove extends from the first opening To the bottom of the cup of the inner cup, a first suction hole is formed at the first opening and a second suction hole is formed on the inner surface and located at the bottom of the inner cup; and the first suction hole, the second suction hole, The groove and the accommodating space form a fluid channel. The cup cover body is arranged on the first opening and the second opening. Both ends of the fluid channel are used to form suction holes to facilitate the user to drink all the substances in the cup body structure.

The following detailed descriptions are provided with specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to make it easier to understand the purpose, technical content, features, and effects of the present invention.

1, a cup structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an inner cup 110, an outer cup 120, and a cup cover 140, wherein the inner cup 110 is inserted into the outer cup 120, and The outer cover 140 is disposed on the openings of the inner cup 110 and the outer cup 120. The detailed structure is described below.

Please refer to FIG. 2 together. The inner cup 110 has an inner surface 112, an outer surface 114, and a first opening 111. A groove 116 is formed on the outer surface 114 of the inner cup 110 and faces from the outer surface 114. The inner surface 112 is recessed inward. In this embodiment, the groove 116 includes but is not limited to a cup bottom 118 extending from the first opening 111 to the inner cup body 110.

Continuing the above, please refer to Figure 1, Figure 3 and Figure 4. The outer cup body 120 has an accommodating space 122 and a second opening 121. The accommodating space 122 is used for accommodating the inner cup 110 therein, wherein the inner cup The groove 116 of the body 110 and the inner side of the accommodating space 122 form a fluid channel 130. In addition, in one embodiment, a first suction hole 115 is formed at the first opening 111 and a second suction hole 117 is formed at the bottom of the cup 118, and the first suction hole 115, the second suction hole 117, and the groove 116 And the accommodating space form a fluid channel 130. A drinking port 142 is formed on the cup cover 140 and corresponds to the position of the first suction hole 115. The assembled cup structure is shown in FIG. 4. In one embodiment, the material hardness of the inner cup 110 needs to be harder than the material hardness of the outer cup 120. The material of the inner cup body 110 includes but is not limited to plastic, silicone, rubber, resin, metal, ceramic, paper, wood Materials, plant fibers, natural minerals or composite materials. The material of the outer cup 120 may be an elastic material, which includes, but is not limited to, plastic, silicone, rubber, resin, glass, metal, ceramic, paper, wood, plant fiber, natural mineral or composite material. The material of the cup cover 140 includes, but is not limited to, plastic, silicone, rubber, resin, glass, metal, ceramic, paper, wood, plant fiber, natural mineral or composite material. In another embodiment, the cup cover body 140 may also be a film body, or a film body is further provided in the cup cover body 140, wherein a drinking opening cutting line is formed on the film body and is connected to the first suction hole The position of 115 is relative. . The material of the inner cup body and the outer cup body can be the same or different, but in principle, in order to facilitate the user’s absorption, the material hardness of the inner cup body needs to be harder than that of the outer cup body. In addition, the outer cup The material of the body 120 may be an elastic material. In another embodiment, the outer cup 120 may be a film body, which has been covered on the inner cup in an appropriate manner.

In another embodiment, please refer to FIG. 5, the inner cup 110 includes a first inner cup 110A and a second inner cup 110B that are joined to each other. That is to say, in this embodiment, the inner cup body 110 is not necessarily integrally formed. It can also be assembled and joined by two components, split into two components, which is not only easier to clean, but also easier to stack the separated components (such as Figure 6A, Figure 6B and Figure 6C). In one embodiment, please refer to FIGS. 7A, 7B, 8A, and 8B, where the first inner cup 110A includes a first joint A1; the second inner cup 110B has a second joint A2; and The first joint A1 and the second joint A2 are engaged with each other (as shown in Fig. 7A, Fig. 7B) or joined (Fig. 8A, Fig. 8B), but it is understood that the shape of the joint is not limited to 7A, Fig. 7B, Shown in Figure 8A and Figure 8B.

In conclusion, the pore size of the fluid channel 130 can be designed according to the needs of the industry. In other words, for different users and beverages, the aperture size of the fluid channel 130 can be designed differently. For example, when a general user drinks a general beverage, it can be designed as a general pipe diameter; when it is for children to drink, the pipe diameter can be designed The pipe diameter is generally or slightly smaller than that of the first plate; if you need to drink a thicker beverage or add other ingredients to the beverage, such as adding red beans, mung beans, coconuts, pearls, small taro balls, fruit pulp, aiyu For food such as noodles, noodles, etc., the aperture of the fluid channel 130 can be designed to be larger than the general pipe diameter to facilitate the user to drink. And the fluid channel The shape of 130 is not limited to that shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, and may be shown in FIGS. 9A to 9F or other shapes.

According to the above, the cup structure of the present invention utilizes the two ends of the fluid channel to form suction holes to facilitate the user to suck all the substances in the cup structure. In addition, the cup structure of the present invention can be made into a commonly used environmentally friendly cup or disposable cup material for beverage shops. If it is a commonly used environmentally friendly cup, the cup structure of the present invention has a good cleaning function, and the inner cup body can be easily pulled out. Cleaning the inner cup, groove and outer cup is easier to clean than general environmental protection straws. Furthermore, the inner cup structure of the present invention can be split into two parts to facilitate stacking.

In summary, the cup structure of the present invention is used to form a fluid channel in the cup, and two ends of the fluid channel are formed with suction holes, so that the user can conveniently suck all the substances placed in the cup structure.

The above-mentioned embodiments are only to illustrate the technical ideas and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable those who are familiar with the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement them accordingly. When they cannot be used to limit the patent scope of the present invention, That is, all equal changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should still be covered by the patent scope of the present invention.
