Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of container technology, and in particular to a portable, positionable spherical container. Background Technology

[0002] Ball sports events (such as the World Cup and NBA) have a significant impact on the consumption of beverage products. Designing beverage packaging containers in a spherical shape can make consumers feel more immersed in the experience, thereby promoting beverage consumption.

[0003] Spherical containers have advantages such as uniform stress distribution, high structural strength, and smooth surface without dead corners. However, they are easy to slip and drop when held with one hand. Furthermore, because the bottom of a spherical container is curved, it is difficult to place it stably on a support surface without external support. Therefore, existing spherical packaging containers often require additional support frames at the bottom to ensure stability, which increases the cost of using the container. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a portable and positionable spherical container.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A portable, positionable spherical container comprising:

[0007] Two hemispherical shells and an intermediate separator;

[0008] The two hemispherical shells are detachably disposed on opposite sides of the intermediate partition to form a spherical structure. A cavity is formed between the hemispherical shells and the intermediate partition to accommodate materials. A discharge port is provided on the hemispherical shells, and a cover is installed on the discharge port.

[0009] The intermediate partition is provided with two positioning handles arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the spherical structure. The positioning handles have an open state and a folded state.

[0010] When the two positioning handles are in the open state, the spherical structure can be positioned on the external support surface by the two positioning handles; when the two positioning handles are in the folded state, the spherical structure can roll on the external support surface.

[0011] As can be seen from the above settings, the portable and positionable spherical container in this embodiment, by setting a positioning handle with an open and folded state, can achieve a positioning and support function, avoiding the need to set a flat surface or add a support frame at the bottom of the container body, ensuring the consistency of the appearance of the spherical container with the shape of the sphere, improving the user experience and reducing the cost of use.

[0012] In one embodiment, the positioning handle includes a support base and a flip plate. The support base is connected to the intermediate partition, and the flip plate is rotatably connected to the support base. The flip plate rotates relative to the support base to switch the positioning handle between an open state and a folded state.

[0013] In one embodiment, the support base is provided with a support shaft, and the support base is rotatably connected to the intermediate partition via the support shaft, with the support shaft located in the middle of the support base.

[0014] In one embodiment, the flip plate is rotatably connected to the support base via a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being parallel to the axis of the support shaft.

[0015] In one embodiment, when the positioning handle is in the folded state, the projections of the flip piece and the support seat on the axial direction of the support shaft completely overlap; when the positioning handle is in the open state, the projections of the flip piece and the support seat on the axial direction of the support shaft partially overlap.

[0016] In one embodiment, the cover is hinged to the hemispherical shell via a connecting shaft, the axis of which is parallel to the axes of the support shaft and the rotating shaft.

[0017] In one embodiment, the cover is located between the two positioning handles.

[0018] In one embodiment, the lid is provided with a material support structure on the side facing the receiving cavity.

[0019] In one embodiment, the material support structure includes a support plate and a baffle, wherein the support plate is connected to the cover via the baffle.

[0020] In one embodiment, the support plate is a circular structure, and the baffle is an arc-shaped plate connected to the edge of the circular structure.

[0021] To better understand and implement this invention, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides a portable and positionable spherical container, which includes two hemispherical shells 1 and an intermediate separator 2.

[0032] The two hemispherical shells 1 are detachably disposed on opposite sides of the intermediate partition 2 to form a spherical structure. A cavity is formed between the hemispherical shell 1 and the intermediate partition 2 to accommodate materials. The materials can be fixed materials, such as candy or pills. Two different or the same materials can be stored separately in the two hemispherical shells 1, which facilitates partitioned use.

[0033] The hemispherical shell 1 is provided with a discharge port 11, and a cover 12 is installed on the discharge port 11. The material can be taken out from the discharge port 11 by opening the cover 12.

[0034] The intermediate partition 2 is provided with two positioning handles 3 arranged symmetrically with respect to the center of the spherical structure. The positioning handles 3 have an open state and a folded state. The positioning handles 3 can serve as positioning support and also as handles.

[0035] like Figure 2 and 4 As shown, when the two positioning handles 3 are in the open state, the spherical structure can be supported and positioned on an external support surface by the two positioning handles 3. The external support surface can be a table, the ground, etc. The two positioning handles 3 can form a triangular support effect with the bottom of the spherical structure, and have a stop and anti-roll function when placed on a table or other flat surface.

[0036] like Figure 1 and 5 As shown, when the two positioning handles 3 are in the folded state, the spherical structure can roll on the external support surface. At the same time, the spherical container can be lifted by clamping the two positioning handles 3 between the fingers of one hand, which can prevent the container from slipping and falling.

[0037] In use, after assembling the two hemispherical shells 1 and the cover 12, the two kinds of contents are inserted into each shell, and then assembled with the intermediate partition 2. The positioning handle 3 is detachably installed on the intermediate partition 2 for easy assembly.

[0038] As can be seen from the above settings, the portable and positionable spherical container in this embodiment, by setting a positioning handle 3 with an open state and a folded state, can achieve a positioning and support function, avoiding the need to set a flat surface or add a support frame at the bottom of the container body, ensuring the consistency of the appearance of the spherical container with the shape of the sphere, improving the user experience and reducing the cost of use.

[0039] like Figure 4-5As shown, specifically in this embodiment, the positioning handle 3 includes a support base 31 and a flip piece 32. The support base 31 is connected to the intermediate partition 2, and the flip piece 32 is rotatably connected to the support base 31. The flip piece 32 rotates relative to the support base 31 to switch the positioning handle 3 between an open state and a folded state.

[0040] Preferably, the support base 31 is provided with a support shaft 311, and the support base 31 is rotatably connected to the intermediate partition 2 through the support shaft 311. The support shaft 311 is located in the middle of the support base 31, so that the support base 31 can rotate relative to the intermediate partition 2, thereby increasing the adjustable range of the positioning handle 3.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the flip plate 32 is rotatably connected to the support base 31 via a rotating shaft 321, the rotating shaft 321 being parallel to the axis of the support shaft 311, thereby improving the adjustable range of the positioning handle 3.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, when the positioning handle 3 is in the folded state, the projections of the flip piece 32 and the support base 31 on the axial direction of the support shaft 311 completely overlap, thereby reducing the space occupied and making the overall appearance more consistent. Figure 4 As shown, when the positioning handle 3 is in the open state, the projection portions of the flip piece 32 and the support base 31 on the axial direction of the support shaft 311 overlap.

[0043] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, preferably, the cover 12 is hinged to the hemispherical shell 1 via a connecting shaft 121. The cover can be opened for convenient use by pressing down on one end of the cover 12 with a fingertip. Specifically, the axis of the connecting shaft 121 is parallel to the axes of the support shaft 311 and the rotating shaft 321, and the cover 12 is located in the middle of the two positioning handles 3, making the overall design more reasonable and easier to use.

[0044] Preferably, the lid 12 is provided with a material support structure 13 on the side facing the accommodating cavity. The material support structure 13 can limit the amount of material poured out and prevent excessive pouring.

[0045] Specifically, the material support structure 13 includes a support plate 131 and a baffle 132. The support plate 131 is connected to the cover 12 through the baffle 132, and the baffle 132 can block the poured material. The support plate 131 has a circular structure, and the baffle 132 is an arc-shaped plate connected to the edge of the circular structure.

[0046] In this embodiment, the hemispherical shell 1 and the intermediate separator 2 can be obtained by injection molding using environmentally friendly materials such as PP and HDPE.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
