[0030] The above water cup is provided with an inwardly recessed sink 121 on the outer peripheral wall of the cup body 100 and extends along the height direction, the sink 121 is used as a space for storing articles, the opening of the sink 121 is opened or closed by the container body 200 which can be rotated relative to the sink 121, the article placing cavity 201 on the container body 200 is accommodated in the sink 121 to store articles or exposed on the side of the cup body 100 to enable the articles to be taken out or placed in, when the container body 200 is rotated; the water cup with storage function does not increase the height size of the cup body 100, and is convenient for users to carry and use.

[0031] With reference to Figures 3 to 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the container body 200 comprises a cover plate 210 matched with the opening of the sink 121, one of the cover plate 210 and the sink 121 is provided with a rotating shaft member 310 arranged along the vertical direction, the other is provided with a shaft hole portion 320 matched with the rotating shaft member 310, and the article placing cavity 201 is arranged on the inner side of the cover plate 210. It can be understood that when it is needed to open or close the sink 121, the user can push one side of the cover plate 210 to make the cover plate 210 rotate around the rotating shaft member 310, so that the article placing cavity 201 on the inner side of the cover plate 210 is accommodated in the sink 121 or exposed on the side of the cup body 100.

[0032] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3In the embodiment, the cup body 100 is substantially cylindrical, and the outer surface of the cover plate 210 is a circular arc surface consistent with the radius of curvature of the cup body 100. It can be understood that when the cover plate 210 is rotated to close the opening of the sink 121, the whole formed by the cup body 100 and the container body 200 is a cylinder, which does not affect the hand feeling when holding, and is convenient for the user to carry and use.

[0033] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the lower end of the inner side surface of the cover plate 210 is provided with a supporting plate 220 extending away from the cover plate 210, and the supporting plate 220 is connected with a surrounding plate 230 spaced apart from the cover plate 210, wherein the surrounding plate 230 is arched along the extension direction of the supporting plate 220, and the cover plate 210, the supporting plate 220 and the surrounding plate 230 jointly define the storage cavity 201. It should be noted that the cover plate 210, the supporting plate 220 and the surrounding plate 230 can be obtained by one-piece injection molding, thereby forming the storage cavity 201, and the production and processing difficulty of the container body 200 of the structure is low.

[0034] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, in order to enable the cover plate 210 to be fixed after being rotated to close the opening of the sink 121 and after being rotated to open the opening of the sink 121, an angle limiting mechanism 400 for limiting the rotation angle of the container body 200 is arranged between the cover plate 210 and the inner wall of the sink 121.

[0035] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the angle limiting mechanism 400 includes two positioning protrusions 410 arranged on the inner wall of the sink 121 and a positioning groove 420 arranged on the cover plate 210 and capable of being rotated in and out of the positioning protrusions 410. When the positioning groove 420 cooperates with one of the positioning protrusions 410, the cover plate 210 closes the opening of the sink 121; when the positioning groove 420 cooperates with the other positioning protrusion 410, the cover plate 210 is located in the sink 121 and exposes the storage cavity 201. It can be understood that when the positioning protrusion 410 enters or exits the positioning groove 420, the positioning protrusion 410 or the positioning groove 420 is elastically deformed to enable the two to be elastically clamped, which not only prevents easy disengagement, but also avoids the situation that the positioning protrusion 410 cannot be separated from the positioning groove 420.

[0036] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments of the present application, the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the sink 121 are respectively provided with a rotating shaft 310, and the two rotating shafts 310 are coaxially arranged. The upper end and the lower end of the cover plate 210 are respectively provided with a side extension plate 211, and the two shaft hole portions 320 are respectively arranged through the two side extension plates 211. It can be understood that the two rotating shafts 310 are respectively connected with the upper and lower ends of the cover plate 210 in a rotating manner, so as to avoid occupying the internal space of the sink 121 in the vertical direction, thereby fully improving the storage space of the cup.

[0037] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the two positioning convex portions 410 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of one rotating shaft 310 in opposite directions, and the positioning recess 420 is arranged on the corresponding side extension plate 211. It should be noted that the two positioning convex portions 410 correspond to the two angle positions of the cover plate 210, respectively. A part of the above angle limiting mechanism 400 is arranged on the rotating shaft 310, which is beneficial to improve the compactness of the structure, reduce the machining and molding and assembly process of the parts, and accurately control the realization of the stable cover plate 210 after rotating a certain angle by adjusting the relative position of the two positioning convex portions 410, the outer shape size of the positioning convex portion 410, etc.

[0038] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the cup body 100 includes a cylindrical body 110, the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 110 is provided with an inner recessed mounting groove 111, the mounting groove 111 is mounted with an arc-shaped plate 120, and the sink 121, the rotating shaft 310 and the positioning convex portion 410 are all formed on the arc-shaped plate 120. Generally, the cylindrical body 110 and the arc-shaped plate 120 are both composed of plastic material. In order to avoid the shrinkage phenomenon of the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 110 caused by the rotating shaft 310 and the positioning convex portion 410 during the molding process, the separate processing of the arc-shaped plate 120 and then the assembly on the cylindrical body 110 can effectively solve this technical problem.

[0039] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, in order to facilitate the assembly of the arc-shaped plate 120 and replace the arc-shaped plate 120 of different specifications according to the needs of use, the lower end of the mounting groove 111 penetrates through the lower end of the cylindrical body 110 downwardly, the arc-shaped plate 120 is embedded in the mounting groove 111, and the bottom of the cylindrical body 110 is detachably mounted with a base 130 for fixing the arc-shaped plate 120 on the cylindrical body 110. In this embodiment, the base 130 is fixed on the bottom of the cylindrical body 110 through a bolt assembly, and the base 130 supports the arc-shaped plate 120 upwardly and abuts against the inner top wall of the mounting groove 111.

[0040] Any technical features in the above embodiments can be combined, and for the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations are described, however, any combination of the technical features is considered to be within the scope of the present specification.

[0041] While the embodiments of the present application have been illustrated and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which are defined by the following claims and their equivalents.
