Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cup holders, in particular to a disposable cup holder. Background Art

[0002] Milk tea and coffee are the favorite drinks of today's young people, and market demand is increasing. Takeout and delivery orders far outnumber dine-in orders. Because the packaging bags are too soft, they don't provide adequate support for the milk tea, causing it to easily tilt and spill. Therefore, restaurants typically use cup holders, which are placed inside the packaging bags to support the drink cups. However, existing cup holders have some issues during use. For example, they can easily tilt when placed inside the packaging bags, making them difficult to operate. Furthermore, the cup holders and packaging bags can easily move relative to each other during transport, causing them to tilt and spill.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN217970776U discloses a cup holder with a tear line. The cup holder comprises two connected cup holder bodies, each with a tear line at the connection. The four sidewalls of the cup holder cavity each have an arcuate surface protruding into the cavity. These arcuate surfaces are perforated in an inverted T-shaped pattern. The bottom wall of the cavity, near each of the four inverted T-shaped patterns, has a ridge parallel to the transverse holes. This prevents the cup from being clamped too tightly and allows for disassembly using the tear line. However, this cup holder does not address the issue of tilting easily when placed in a packaging bag, and after being disassembled using the tear line, the split edges provide no support. Therefore, a disposable cup holder has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0025] Example

[0026] like Figure 1-2As shown, a disposable cup holder includes a tray 1 and four cup holders arranged on the tray 1, the cup holder includes a first cup holder 2 and a second cup holder 3, the top of the first cup holder 2 is fixedly connected to the tray 1, and the second cup holder 3 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the first cup holder 2, a plurality of first fixing components 5 are vertically provided on the inner side wall of the first cup holder 2, and a plurality of second fixing components 6 are vertically provided on the inner side wall of the second cup holder 3, inclined plates 7 are fixedly provided on the left and right sides of the tray 1, the higher ends of the inclined plates 7 are fixedly connected to the sides of the tray 1, and the two inclined plates 7 are inclined in the direction away from the tray 1, and a supporting bracket 4 is further provided in the middle of the tray 1, and the top of the supporting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the tray 1.

[0027] It is worth noting that the tray 1 provides mounting locations for four cup holders and serves as a support. Drink cups can be placed on the cup holders, and the first and second cup holders 2 and 3 can accommodate drink cups of different sizes, improving the cup holder's applicability. The first and second fixing assemblies 5 and 6 can secure the drink cups within the cup holders, preventing them from tipping or shifting during transport. The two inclined plates 7 secure the tray 1 within the packaging bag, preventing it from tilting during placement or transport, helping to improve the stability of the tray 1 within the bag. The support brackets 4 provide support for the center of the tray 1, improving its stability. Specifically, the inclined plates 7 apply a force to the packaging bag, which in turn applies a reaction force to the inclined plates 7. This reaction force can be decomposed into a horizontal force and a vertical downward force, making it difficult for the tray 1 to tilt relative to the packaging bag.

[0028] In particular, when the tray 1 is placed in the packaging bag, the inclined plate 7 is acted upon by the inner wall of the packaging bag, causing the inclined plate 7 to rotate downward, and the angle between the inclined plate 7 and the vertical direction becomes smaller.

[0029] In some feasible embodiments, the support tray 4 is a hollow structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. An opening is provided at the top of the support tray 4. When packaging drinks, the support tray 4 can also be used to place straws.

[0030] In some feasible embodiments, both the first cup holder 2 and the second cup holder 3 have a variable diameter structure with a larger upper portion and a smaller lower portion, and can accommodate beverage cups of various diameters.

[0031] In some feasible embodiments, the maximum diameter of the second cup holder 3 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the first cup holder 2 , and the first cup holder 2 and the second cup holder 3 are connected as a whole via a connecting ring.

[0032] When placing a tall and thin drink cup, the bottom of the drink cup passes through the first cup holder 2 and is placed in the second cup holder 3; when placing a short and fat drink cup, the bottom of the drink cup is placed on the top of the connecting ring and is located in the first cup holder 2.

[0033] In some feasible embodiments, the first fixing assembly 5 includes two symmetrically arranged first spring leaves, each having an arcuate structure. One end of the first spring leaf is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first cup holder 2, while the other end of the first spring leaf is suspended. The suspended ends of the two first spring leaves are positioned close to each other. The second fixing assembly 6 includes two symmetrically arranged second spring leaves, each having an arcuate structure. One end of the second spring leaf is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second cup holder 3, while the other end of the second spring leaf is suspended. The suspended ends of the two second spring leaves are positioned close to each other. When a beverage cup is placed in the cup holder, the wall of the beverage cup exerts a force away from the center of the circle on the first spring leaf or the second spring leaf. At this time, the suspended end of the first spring leaf or the second spring leaf moves toward the inner wall of the cup holder, shortening the distance between the most convex point of the first spring leaf or the second spring leaf and the inner wall of the cup holder. However, the first spring leaf or the second spring leaf tends to return to its original position. Therefore, the sample cup can be fixed in the cup holder and is suitable for beverage cups of different diameters.

[0034] In particular, the first spring piece and the second spring piece are both made of plastic, and have moderate elastic potential energy. When used in combination, multiple spring pieces can ensure the stability of the beverage cup, while the moderate clamping force will not affect the customer's taking out of the beverage.

[0035] In some feasible embodiments, the width of the inclined plate 7 is equal to the height of the cup holder to prevent the inclined plate 7 from lifting the tray 1 when the angle between the inclined plate 7 and the vertical direction is 0°, resulting in the bottom of the cup holder being unable to contact the bottom of the packaging bag, thereby reducing the stability of the tray 1.

[0036] During use, the packer folds the two inclined plates 7 inward, and then puts the tray 1 into the packaging bag while keeping the inclined plates 7 folded inward. After the tray 1 is placed, the drink cup is placed in the cup holder, and the first fixing component 5 or the second fixing component 6 will fix the drink cup.

[0037] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole.
