However, when such plastic cups are discarded, they have a large volume. Due to the good elasticity of the plastic cups, even if they are flattened when discarded, they can rebound under the action of their own material elasticity, occupying a large space in the trash can and being inconvenient for recycling. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to solve the defect that the existing plastic cups occupy a large space in the trash can when discarded, the utility model provides a plastic cup convenient for recycling, which has a reduced volume after being flattened and is convenient for recycling.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A plastic cup convenient for recycling, comprising: a cup body, a cup cover and a clamping structure; the cup body is made of a plastic material that can be elastically deformed, and the cup cover covers the cup mouth of the cup body; the clamping structure includes a clamping head and a clamping buckle, the clamping head is fixedly connected to the upper side of the bottom of the cup body, and the clamping buckle is fixedly connected to the lower side of the cup cover and can be detachably connected to the clamping head.

[0006] Through the above setting, after the cup body is flattened up and down, the clamping head and the clamping buckle are clamped to prevent the cup body from rebounding, reducing the volume of the plastic cup and facilitating recycling.

[0007] Further, the clamping head is arranged in a spherical structure, the clamping buckle is arranged in a bowl-shaped structure with the mouth facing downwards, the diameter of the mouth of the clamping buckle is smaller than the outer diameter of the clamping head, and the clamping head is inserted into the clamping buckle through the mouth.

[0008] Further, the bottom of the cup body bulges upwards, forming a conical groove on the lower side and a conical protrusion on the upper side, the clamping head is fixedly connected to the vertex of the conical protrusion, and the clamping buckle is arranged directly above the clamping head.

[0009] Through the above setting, it is convenient for the clamping head to align with the clamping buckle, enabling the clamping head to be successfully inserted into the clamping buckle.

[0010] Further, the diameter of the cup mouth of the cup body is larger than the diameter of the bottom of the cup body, and the cup wall of the cup body is corrugated from top to bottom.

[0011] Through the above setting, the cup body is easily compressed vertically.

[0012] Further, the cup cover is fixedly connected with a downward-extending flange along the outer periphery, and the flange wraps around the outside of the cup mouth of the cup body.

[0013] Through the above settings, the stability of the cup lid at the cup mouth is increased.

[0014] Furthermore, the cup body is made of transparent plastic material.

[0015] Through the above settings, it is convenient for users to see the card head and the buckle, further improving the convenience of the card connection. Description of the Drawings

[0016] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the plastic cup of the embodiment.

[0017] Figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view of the plastic cup of the embodiment.

[0018] Figure 3 It is for Figure 2 the enlarged view of part A of

[0019] Figure 4 It is for Figure 2 the enlarged view of part B of Detailed Implementation Modes

[0020] Next, through embodiments and in combination with the drawings, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further specifically described.

[0021] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a plastic cup convenient for recycling includes: a cup body 3, a cup lid 4 and a snap connection structure 5; the cup body 3 is made of an elastically deformable plastic material, and the cup lid 4 covers the cup mouth of the cup body 3; the snap connection structure 5 includes a card head 51 and a buckle 52, the card head 51 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the cup bottom of the cup body 3, and the buckle 52 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the cup lid 4 and can be detachably connected to the card head 51.

[0022] Through the above settings, after the cup body 3 is pinched flat up and down, the card head 51 and the buckle 52 are snap-connected to prevent the cup body 3 from rebounding, reducing the volume of the plastic cup and facilitating recycling.

[0023] In this application, the wall thickness of the cup body 3 is less than or equal to 1 mm, and the cup body 3 is easily pinched flat; the material of the cup lid 4 is also plastic; a straw hole can be provided on the cup lid 4 to facilitate the insertion of a straw; the cup lid 4 covers the cup mouth of the cup body 3 to prevent the liquid in the cup body 3 from overflowing; after the plastic cup is used up, the user squeezes the plastic cup up and down, the cup body 3 is vertically flattened, the cup bottom and the cup lid 4 of the cup body 3 are closed, the card head 51 and the buckle 52 are snap-connected, and after letting go, the cup body 3 will not rebound, the plastic cup is basically a flat structure, with a small volume, and when thrown into the trash can, it occupies a small space in the trash can and is convenient for recycling.

[0024] As an implementation method, the card head 51 is set as a spherical structure, the buckle 52 is set as a bowl-shaped structure with the buckle opening facing downwards, the diameter of the buckle opening of the buckle 52 is smaller than the outer diameter of the card head 51, and the card head 51 is snapped into the buckle 52 through the buckle opening.

[0025] In this application, the outer surface of the chuck 51 is a smooth spherical shape, which facilitates the insertion of the chuck 51 into the bayonet; the inner diameter of the buckle 52 is adapted to the outer diameter of the chuck 51. After the chuck 51 is inserted into the buckle 52, the chuck 51 fits against the inner wall of the buckle 52, increasing the clamping stability; when the chuck 51 is inserted into the buckle 52, the chuck 51 squeezes the bayonet. The buckle 52 is made of elastic plastic, and the bayonet is enlarged. When the chuck 51 is inserted into the buckle 52, the bayonet retracts to prevent the chuck 51 from leaving the buckle 52. In this application, the cup lid 4 is circular, the bottom of the cup body 3 is circular, the buckle 52 is arranged at the center of the circle of the cup lid 4, and the chuck 51 is arranged at the center of the circle of the bottom of the cup body 3.

[0026] As an implementation, the bottom of the cup body 3 bulges upward, forming a conical groove 6 on the lower side and a conical protrusion 7 on the upper side. The chuck 51 is fixedly connected to the vertex of the conical protrusion 7, and the buckle 52 is arranged directly above the chuck 51.

[0027] Through the above settings, it is convenient for the chuck 51 to align with the buckle 52, enabling the chuck 51 to be successfully inserted into the buckle 52.

[0028] After the plastic cup is used up, hold the cup lid 4 with the left hand, hold the bottom of the cup body 3 with the right hand, and insert the right index finger into the conical groove 6 and press against the vertex of the conical groove 6. At this time, the chuck 51 corresponds to the position of the right index finger. When squeezing the plastic cup up and down, the index finger prevents the chuck 51 from shaking left and right, enabling the chuck 51 to align with the buckle 52 and be inserted into the buckle 52.

[0029] As an implementation, the diameter of the cup mouth of the cup body 3 is larger than the diameter of the cup bottom, and the cup wall of the cup body 3 is corrugated from top to bottom.

[0030] Through the above settings, the cup body 3 is easily compressed vertically.

[0031] As an implementation, the cup lid 4 is fixedly connected with a downward-extending flange 8 along the outer periphery, and the flange 8 is wrapped around the outside of the cup mouth of the cup body 3.

[0032] Through the above settings, the stability of the cup lid 4 at the cup mouth is increased.

[0033] As an implementation, the cup body 3 is made of transparent plastic.

[0034] Through the above settings, it is convenient for the user to see the chuck 51 and the buckle 52, further improving the convenience of clamping.

[0035] It should be understood that for those of ordinary skill in the art, improvements or modifications can be made according to the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present utility model.
