Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of tea cups, in particular to a tea cup tube and a tea cup assembly. Background Art

[0002] At present, the teacups on the market have a proper amount of teacups at the bottom, and multiple teacups are stacked and placed in the teacup tube. A similar structure can be seen in the structure in a travel cup disclosed in the utility model patent "A portable travel cup with tea leaves" with patent application number CN202221871110.1 (grant announcement number CN217743473U). Usually, a tube cover is provided at the bottom of the teacup tube. When you need to drink tea, you just need to open the tube cover and take out the teacup to brew.

[0003] When opening the cover to take out the teacup, the user generally only needs to take out one teacup at a time, but multiple teacups often slide out of the teacup tube at the same time, which forces the user to put the extra teacups back into the teacup tube. In this process, the drinking mouth and even the inner wall of the teacup that is put back cannot be avoided from being touched by the user's hand or contacted with the outside air, which will cause contamination to the teacup. Especially when the teacup tube is placed in a public place for everyone to use, the sanitation problem caused by this cross contamination will be more serious. Utility Model Content

[0004] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a teacup tube which can take out one teacup without taking out extra teacups in view of the above-mentioned existing technical status.

[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a teacup assembly which can prevent taking out extra teacups when taking out one teacup.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is: a teacup tube, including a tube body, the bottom end of the tube body has an opening, the inside of the tube body has a accommodating cavity for accommodating multiple stacked teacups, and the characteristic is that: the inner side wall of the bottom of the tube body has a first convex part protruding toward the accommodating cavity for clamping the first teacup placed at the opening of the tube body and a second convex part for clamping the second teacup above the first teacup.

[0007] In order to better separate the teacup to be taken out from other teacups, the first convex portion is located below the second convex portion and the height of the first convex portion is greater than the height of the second convex portion.

[0008] Furthermore, the second protrusions are arranged in a plurality in the length direction of the cylinder, and the distance between adjacent second protrusions is the distance between the corresponding clamping points of the mutually sleeved tea cups.

[0009] Preferably, the first convex portion and the second convex portion are ring-shaped or block-shaped structures.

[0010] In order to enable the corresponding teacup to be detached after being engaged and continuously subjected to force, the first convex portion and the second convex portion are elastic.

[0011] In order to reduce the pollution to the tea cup, a cylinder cover is also included, and the cylinder cover is covered at the opening of the cylinder body.

[0012] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above-mentioned second technical problem is: a teacup assembly, characterized in that it includes a teacup and the teacup tube as described above, wherein there are multiple teacups, and the multiple teacups are stacked and placed in the accommodating cavity of the tube, and the mouth of the teacup has a convex ring extending outward, and the convex ring can be clamped with the first convex portion and the second convex portion.

[0013] In order to enable multiple tea cups to be stacked, the tea cups are in a trumpet shape with a larger top and a smaller bottom, and the openings of the tea cups are placed away from the opening of the cylinder.

[0014] In order to enable the corresponding tea cup to be engaged with the convex ring and to be able to disengage after continuing to be subjected to force, the convex ring has elasticity.

[0015] Preferably, tea leaves are sealed and stored at the bottom of the teacup.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the utility model is that: in the teacup tube, the inner side wall of the bottom of the tube body is provided with a first convex portion protruding toward the accommodating cavity for clamping the first teacup placed at the opening of the tube body and a second convex portion for clamping the second teacup above the first teacup, so that the first teacup can be taken out by simply grasping the bottom of the first teacup and pulling it gently, and when taking out the first teacup, the second teacup can be separated from the first teacup as much as possible when passing through the second convex portion, so that the first teacup can pass through the first convex portion more smoothly and elastically, avoiding the first teacup and the second teacup being tightly fitted to reduce the elasticity of the first teacup, thus ensuring that only one teacup can be taken out at a time, useless teacups will not be taken out, and pollution to other teacups is reduced.

[0020] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a teacup in an embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a teacup tube of this embodiment includes a tube body 1 and a tube cover 2. The bottom end of the tube body 1 has an opening 1a, and the tube cover 2 covers the opening 1a. The inside of the tube body 1 has a accommodating cavity 1b for multiple stacked teacups 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the bottom of the cylinder 1 has a first convex portion 3 and a second convex portion 4 protruding toward the accommodating cavity 1b. The first convex portion 3 is located below the second convex portion 4 and the protruding height of the first convex portion 3 is greater than the protruding height of the second convex portion 4.

[0024] The first convex portion 3 and the second convex portion 4 are block structures (such as Figure 3 ).

[0025] The first protrusion 3 has one, and the second protrusion 4 can be one (such as Figure 1 ) can also be multiple (such as Figure 2 ) are arranged in the length direction of the cylinder. The first protrusion 3 and the second protrusion 4a located at the bottom of the cylinder 1 have two each, which are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder 1. The multiple second protrusions 4b located above the second protrusions 4a are arranged on one side, and the distance between adjacent second protrusions 4 is the distance between the corresponding clamping points of the mutually sleeved tea cups 5. The first protrusion 3 and the second protrusion 4 are elastic.

[0026] A teacup assembly of the present embodiment includes a teacup 5 and a teacup tube as described above. There are multiple teacups 5, and the teacups 5 are in a trumpet shape with a larger top and a smaller bottom. The mouth of the teacup 5 has a convex ring 51 extending outward. The convex ring 51 is the above-mentioned clamping part, which is elastic and can be clamped with the first convex part 3 and the second convex part 4. It is better that the convex ring 51 is slightly protruding relative to the cup body of the teacup 5, and the mouth of the teacup 5 and the cup body also have a certain elasticity. The bottom of the teacup 5 is relatively hard, and tea materials such as tea leaves 6 can be sealed and stored at the bottom. Of course, only the convex ring 51 or only the first convex part 3 and the second convex part 4 are also elastic.

[0027] After stacking a plurality of tea cups 5, they are placed in the accommodating cavity 1b of the cylinder 1, with the openings of the tea cups 5 away from the opening 1a of the cylinder 1, and covered with the cylinder cover 2, which can seal and protect the tea cups 5 and tea leaves, and prevent the tea leaves from getting damp and the tea cups 5 from being contaminated. The cylinder cover 2 is relatively thick, which is conducive to the effective extension of the bottom of the tea cups 5 while preventing the mouth of the tea cups 5 that are not to be taken out from being too close to the opening 1a of the cylinder 1, and can also ensure that the tea cup cylinder can hold as many tea cups 5 as possible with the smallest possible volume.

[0028] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the first teacup 5a placed at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 1b, i.e., at the opening 1a of the cylinder 1, is forced to move downward, the convex ring 51a of the first teacup 5a is engaged with the first convex portion 3, and the second convex portion 4 is engaged with the convex ring 51b of the second teacup 5b sleeved on the first teacup 5a;

[0029] In this way, the first protrusion 3 clamps the first teacup 5a. Since the protrusion ring 51 or the first protrusion 3 is elastic, the first teacup 5a can be taken out by simply grabbing the bottom of the first teacup 5a and pulling it gently. In addition, since the second protrusion 4 can clamp the second teacup 5b with a small force, when taking out the first teacup 5a, the second teacup 5b can be separated from the first teacup 5a as much as possible when passing through the second protrusion 4, so that the first teacup 5a can pass through the first protrusion 3 more smoothly and elastically, and the first teacup 5a and the second teacup 5b are prevented from being tightly fitted and causing the elasticity of the first teacup 5a to decrease. In this way, only one teacup can be taken out at a time, and useless teacups will not be taken out.

[0030] After the first teacup 5a is taken out, the multiple stacked teacups move downward as a whole, and the second teacup 5b moves to the original position of the first teacup 5a. If the second teacup 5b needs to be taken out, the principle is the same as that of taking out the first teacup 5a.
