Detailed implementation manners
[0063] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to convey the scope of the present invention fully to those skilled in the art.
[0064] Aiming at the problem that there is a probability of taking out two or more cups at a time when taking cups from the existing paper cup cylinder holder, this embodiment provides a paper cup holder capable of separating cups, which can impose a restriction on the upper cups when taking out the lowermost cup, so as to ensure that only one cup is taken out each time, greatly improving the user experience of the product.
[0065] It should be noted that the outer periphery of the top of the disposable cup has a convex cup rim, and the paper cup holder that can separate cups restricts the cup by supporting the cup rim.
[0066] As Figures 1-7 shown, a paper cup holder that can separate cups includes:
[0067] A cup cylinder 200 having a cup storage cavity 210 for storing paper cups. A cup separating device 100 is provided at the bottom of the cup storage cavity 210. When taking out the lowermost cup, the cup separating device 100 can restrict the upper cups, ensuring that only one cup is drawn each time, greatly improving the user experience of the product;
[0068] A cup placing opening is provided at the top or the periphery of the cup cylinder 200 and is communicated with the cup storage cavity 210;
[0069] A cup taking opening 220 is provided at the bottom end of the cup cylinder 200 and is communicated with the cup storage cavity 210;
[0070] A door body 300 is provided at the cup placing opening for opening and closing the cup placing opening, and is rotatably connected or detachably connected to the cup cylinder 200;
[0071] The cup separating device 100 includes:
[0072] At least two limiting trailing arms 110 are provided, and each limiting trailing arm 110 is circumferentially and evenly installed in the cup storage cavity 210, thus enclosing a limiting interval for the cup body to pass through; specifically, the limiting trailing arm 110 is an inclined elastic arm, the upper end of the limiting trailing arm 110 is connected to the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210, and the lower end is far from the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210;
[0073] A first limiting member 120 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the limiting trailing arm 110 and has a first supporting portion 121 for supporting the cup rim;
[0074] A second limiting member 130 is movably installed at the lower end of the limiting trailing arm 110 and has a second supporting portion 131 for supporting the cup rim. The second limiting member 130 is located above the first limiting member 120;
[0075] A linkage mechanism is used to connect and drive the first limiting member 120 and the second limiting member 130. When the first supporting portion 121 swings downward and separates from the bottom surface of the cup rim of the lowermost cup, the second supporting portion 131 of the second limiting member 130 moves above the cup rim of the lowermost cup to support and limit the upper cups;
[0076] A first elastic member 140 is installed on the limiting trailing arm 110 to drive the first limiting member 120 or the second limiting member 130 to reset after the cup is taken out, so that the second supporting portion 131 moves out of the cup rim and the first supporting portion 121 moves to the cup rim.
[0077] In this embodiment, a plug-in portion 111 is provided at the top end of the limiting trailing arm 110, and a slot capable of being plugged with the plug-in portion 111 is provided on the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210.
[0078] In this embodiment, the plug-in portion 111 is vertically arranged, a clamping protrusion 112 is provided on the plug-in portion 111, and a clamping groove 410 capable of being clamped with the clamping protrusion 112 is provided on the groove wall of the slot.
[0079] In this embodiment, for the convenience of the production and preparation of the paper cup holder, the cup separating device 100 further includes a bracket 400. The bracket 400 is in a sleeve shape, the bracket 400 is installed in the cup storage cavity 210, and the elastic arm is installed on the inner wall of the bracket 400. In practical applications, the bracket 400 is installed near the cup taking opening 220 in the inner cavity of the cup cylinder 200.
[0080] This embodiment also provides a method for taking a paper cup from the paper cup holder:
[0081] Use the above-mentioned paper cup holder capable of separating cups to store paper cups;
[0082] When taking a cup, extract the lowermost cup. While the lowermost cup moves downward, the cup rim drives the first supporting portion 121 to swing away from the cup, separating the first limiting member 120 from the lowermost cup. When the first limiting member 120 swings, the second limiting member 130 is synchronously driven by the linkage mechanism to move, so that the second supporting portion 131 moves above the cup rim of the lowermost cup, thereby supporting and limiting the cup rim of the upper cup, preventing the upper cup from being taken out together with the lowermost cup. After the lowermost cup is taken out, the first elastic member 140 drives the first limiting member 120 and the second limiting member 130 to reset through the linkage mechanism, so that the second supporting portion 131 moves out from the cup rim, and the first supporting portion 121 moves to the cup rim. This device can impose a restriction on the upper cup when taking out the lowermost cup to ensure that only one cup is extracted each time, greatly improving the user experience of the product.
[0083] As Figures 2-4 shown, in one embodiment, the moving mode of the second limit is rotation, and its specific structure is as follows:
[0084] The second limiting member 130 is rotatably installed at the lower end of the limiting trailing arm 110;
[0085] The linkage mechanism includes a first gear portion 122 and a second gear portion 132 that mesh with each other;
[0086] The first gear portion 122 is provided on the first limiting member 120, and the second gear portion 132 is provided on the second limiting member 130.
[0087] In this embodiment, the second limiting member 130 has an engaging end, a reset end, and a shaft portion;
[0088] The shaft portion is located between the engaging end and the reset end, and the shaft portion is rotatably connected to the limiting trailing arm 110;
[0089] The second supporting portion 131 and the second gear portion 132 are both arranged at the engaging end;
[0090] The reset member is arranged at the reset end.
[0091] In this embodiment, one end of the first elastic member 140 abuts against the limiting trailing arm 110, and the other end abuts against the second limiting member 130.
[0092] In this embodiment, both the limiting trailing arm 110 and the second limiting member 130 are provided with a counterbore 500 for accommodating the end portion of the elastic member;
[0093] Or, both the limiting trailing arm 110 and the second limiting member 130 are provided with a convex column 600 for sleeving the end portion of the elastic member.
[0094] In this embodiment, mounting side plates 113 are arranged on both sides of the bottom end of the limiting trailing arm 110, and an installation area is formed between the two mounting side plates 113;
[0095] The first limiting member 120 and the second limiting member 130 are both arranged in the installation area, and both the first limiting member 120 and the second limiting member 130 are rotatably connected to the mounting side plates 113;
[0096] A channel 160 for the first supporting portion 121 and the second supporting portion 131 to pass through is formed between the bottom end of the limiting trailing arm 110 and the mounting side plates 113.
[0097] In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 150 is arranged on the mounting side plate 113, and the limiting protrusion 150 is located above the first limiting member 120. When the first supporting portion 121 moves to the cup rim, the first limiting member 120 abuts against the limiting protrusion 150, and the limiting protrusion 150 can prevent the first supporting portion 121 from swinging upwards excessively under the action of the elastic member, resulting in the first supporting portion 121 being unable to support the cup rim of the lowermost cup.
[0098] As Figures 5-7 shown, in another embodiment, the moving mode of the second limit is sliding, and its specific structure is as follows:
[0099] In this embodiment, the second limiting member 130 is slidably mounted at the lower end of the limiting trailing arm 110;
[0100] A second elastic member 180 is arranged between the limiting trailing arm 110 and the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210;
[0101] One end of the second elastic member 180 abuts against the limiting trailing arm 110, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210;
[0102] The second elastic member 180 is located above the second limiting member 130. Specifically, the limiting trailing arm 110 is an inclined limiting trailing arm 110. The upper end of the limiting trailing arm 110 is connected to the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210, and the lower end is away from the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210. The second elastic member 180 can drive the limiting trailing arm 110 to fit with the lowermost paper cup.
[0103] In this embodiment, to ensure the installation stability of the elastic member and prevent the elastic member from being misaligned during use, the limiting trailing arm 110 is provided with a sunk groove 500 for accommodating the end of the second elastic member 180, or a convex column 600 sleeved with the end of the second elastic member 180; the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210 is provided with a sunk groove 500 for accommodating the end of the second elastic member 180, or a convex column 600 sleeved with the end of the second elastic member 180. Specifically, in the first embodiment, a sunk groove 500 is provided on the limiting trailing arm 110, and a convex column 600 is provided on the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210; in the second embodiment, a convex column 600 is provided on the limiting trailing arm 110, and a sunk groove 500 is provided on the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210; in the third embodiment, convex columns 600 are provided on both the limiting trailing arm 110 and the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210; in the fourth embodiment, sunk grooves 500 are provided on both the limiting trailing arm 110 and the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210.
[0104] In this embodiment, mounting side plates 113 are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the limiting trailing arm 110, and an installation area is formed between the two mounting side plates 113;
[0105] Both the first limiting member 120 and the second limiting member 130 are provided in the installation area;
[0106] The first limiting member 120 is rotatably connected to the mounting side plate 113, and the second limiting member 130 is slidably engaged with the mounting side plate 113;
[0107] A channel 160 for the first supporting portion 121 and the second supporting portion 131 to pass through is formed between the bottom end of the limiting trailing arm 110 and the mounting side plate 113.
[0108] In this embodiment, to ensure the stable sliding of the second limiting member 130, a sliding groove 114 is formed on the mounting side plate 113. The second limiting member 130 has a slider portion, and the slider portion is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 114. A guide post 190 is provided on the limiting tow arm 110. The second limiting member 130 and the first elastic member 140 are both sleeved on the guide post 190. The guide post 190 can not only limit and guide the second limiting member 130, but also restrict the first elastic member 140 to prevent the first elastic member 140 from moving out of position.
[0109] In this embodiment, the linkage mechanism is a push block portion 123, and the push block portion 123 abuts against the second limiting member 130;
[0110] The second limiting member 130 is located between the push block portion 123 and the first elastic member 140;
[0111] The push block portion 123 is provided on the first limiting member 120. The push block portion 123 and the first supporting portion 121 are respectively arranged at two ends of the first limiting member 120. The middle part of the swing limit is rotationally engaged with the mounting side through a shaft portion. When the first supporting portion 121 swings downward (swinging away from the cup), the push block portion 123 swings upward (swinging towards the cup) and synchronously pushes the second limiting member 130 to move towards the cup. During this process, the first elastic member 140 is compressed, and the second supporting portion 131 extends out to support and limit the upper cup.
[0112] In this embodiment, the second limiting member 130 has a through hole sleeved on the guide post 190. To stably push the second limiting member 130, the push block portion 123 includes two pressing portions, and the two pressing portions are respectively arranged on both sides of the through hole.

In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that: similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0114] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by orientation words such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom", etc. is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description. Without contrary description, these orientation words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation on the protection scope of the present application; the orientation words "inside, outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of each component itself.
[0115] For convenience of description, spatial relative terms such as "above...", "over...", "on the upper surface of...", "upper" etc. can be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature shown in the drawings with other devices or features. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to cover different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the drawings for the device.
