Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ice cream packaging, and in particular to an ice cream cup. Background Art

[0002] As a product with a long shelf life, ice cream is produced centrally and shipped to terminals across the country for sale. Due to the long transportation distance and the fact that ice cream is transported at low temperatures in a frozen environment, products packaged in plastic cups or products with paper cup bodies and plastic cup lids are inevitably prone to cracking due to bumps during transportation.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to avoid such quality problems, ice cream manufacturers usually use plastic materials to partially thicken the ice cream, or place partitions, gaskets, pearl cotton and other auxiliary shock-absorbing materials in the ice cream cartons to protect the ice cream.

[0004] However, adopting these solutions not only increases costs, but also cannot completely prevent the cracking and breakage of plastic materials. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problem of cracking of the cup body or cup lid caused by collision during transportation mentioned in the above background technology, the present application provides an ice cream cup, which includes a cup body and a cup sleeve, wherein the cup sleeve is arranged on the side of the cup body, the cup sleeve includes an inner layer and an outer layer, the inner layer is wrapped by the outer layer, and a accommodating cavity is formed between the inner layer and the outer layer, and the accommodating cavity is filled with gas.

[0006] With this arrangement, the cup sleeve adopts a plastic structure, and the accommodating cavity can be filled with gas. The thickness of the accommodating cavity formed after inflation is 3-10mm, which can effectively prevent the cup body from being bumped during transportation. The accommodating cavity with gas formed in the middle of the cup sleeve can prevent the consumer's hands from directly contacting the cup wall, thereby improving the consumer's usage experience and alleviating the occurrence of consumers' frozen hands.

[0007] According to an implementation provided in an embodiment of the present application, the cup sleeve further includes an air nozzle, which is arranged on the surface of the outer layer, and one end of the air nozzle is connected to the accommodating cavity.

[0008] With this arrangement, the air nozzle is fixedly connected to the outer layer, one end of the air nozzle leads to the accommodating cavity, and the other end is connected to the outside. The user can open the air nozzle to achieve the purpose of inflation and deflation. The user can operate the air nozzle to inflate and deflate the air and thereby change the thickness of the accommodating cavity so that the overall size of the cup sleeve adapts to the size of the user's palm, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0009] According to an implementation provided in an embodiment of the present application, the cup body is in a truncated cone shape, and the thickness of the accommodating cavity is greater than the thickness of the cup body.

[0010] This arrangement allows the thickness of the cup sleeve to exceed the outer radius of the cup body, so that during transportation, the cup sleeves can avoid collisions between the cup bodies and also prevent collisions between the outer edges of the cup bodies.

[0011] Furthermore, since the cup body itself has an outer edge and part of the cup body is covered with a cup cover, the thickness of the inflated accommodating cavity in this application is 2-4 mm thicker than the thickest part of the cup body, which can effectively prevent collisions between cups and cause collisions between cup sleeves to avoid rupture of the cup body.

[0012] According to an implementation provided in an embodiment of the present application, the cup sleeve mentioned in the present application can be a first cup sleeve, wherein the first cup sleeve is arranged to cover the cup body, or it can be a second cup sleeve, wherein the second cup sleeve is arranged in the middle of the cup body, or it can be a third cup sleeve, wherein the third cup sleeve is arranged to cover part of the cup body.

[0013] With this arrangement, the cup sleeves are divided into three different structural shapes. Each cup sleeve is suitable for different ice cream products, which is beneficial to saving the production cost of the cup sleeves. Different types of cup sleeves are used for ice cream products of different prices, which can provide different consumption experiences for consumers who purchase different products.

[0014] According to an implementation method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the inner layer of the first cup sleeve is fixedly connected to the cup body, and the shape of the inner layer is consistent with that of the cup body.

[0015] With this arrangement, the inner structure of the first cup sleeve is consistent with the structure of the cup body, and the cup body suitable for the first cup sleeve is a plastic cup structure, which is more prone to bumps and breaks during transportation. Therefore, the first cup sleeve is designed to completely cover the surface of the cup body to better protect the cup body itself and the outer edge of the cup body.

[0016] According to an embodiment provided in the present application, the accommodating cavity of the first cup sleeve is configured to have a thickness of at least 3 mm.

[0017] According to an implementation provided in an embodiment of the present application, the outer edge of the cup body fits with the end of the first cup sleeve.

[0018] In this configuration, the first cup sleeve adopts a soft plastic structure, and the thickness of the inflation layer formed after inflation is 3-10 mm. In the embodiment provided in this application, the accommodating cavity is filled with air, which has a good cooling effect and can effectively prevent the influence of temperature fluctuations on ice cream.

[0019] Furthermore, the internal structural shape of the first cup sleeve is consistent with the exterior of the cup body, and can completely cover the part below the outer edge of the cup body. The cup body suitable for the first cup sleeve is an ordinary plastic cup, and the first cup sleeve is made of soft plastic. The thickness of the accommodating cavity formed after the first cup sleeve is inflated is 3-10mm, and its thickness exceeds the maximum radius of the outer edge of the cup body, which can prevent the outer edge of the cup body from colliding during transportation and causing the outer edge to break.

[0020] The internal structural shape of the first cup sleeve is consistent with the exterior of the cup body, and can completely cover the part below the outer edge of the cup body. The cup body suitable for the first cup sleeve is an ordinary plastic cup, and the first cup sleeve is made of soft plastic. The thickness of the accommodating cavity formed after the first cup sleeve is inflated is 3-10mm, and its thickness exceeds the maximum radius of the outer edge of the cup body, which can prevent the outer edge of the cup body from colliding during transportation and causing the outer edge to break.

[0021] According to an implementation provided in an embodiment of the present application, the second cup sleeve is arranged in the middle of the outer side of the cup body, and the second cup sleeve is in a circular ring shape.

[0022] With this arrangement, the second cup sleeve is smaller in size and is a detachable sleeve structure, which can be mounted on the upper middle part of the cup body. In an embodiment provided in the embodiment of the present application, the second cup sleeve is specifically mounted at 1 / 2 to 1 / 3 of the height of the cup body. Its purpose is not only to reduce bumps during transportation, but also to prevent users from having cold hands.

[0023] According to an implementation method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the third cup sleeve is arranged on the outside of the cup body, and the inner layer covers the middle and bottom of the cup body. The third cup sleeve is in the shape of a truncated cone.

[0024] In this configuration, the third cup sleeve is arranged on the outside of the cup body and mainly covers the bottom and the outside of the cup body.

[0025] According to an embodiment provided in the embodiment of the present application, the accommodating cavities of the second cup sleeve and the third cup sleeve are configured to have a thickness of at least 1 mm.

[0026] With this arrangement, since the cup body for which the second cup sleeve and the third cup sleeve are applicable adopts a conventional paper cup plus plastic cup or a conventional plastic cup structure, the cup body has an outer edge portion or a cup cover portion, and the thickness of the second cup sleeve and the third cup sleeve formed after inflation is 1-3 mm greater than the outer edge radius of the cup cover, which can effectively prevent the outer edge portion and the cup cover portion of the cup body from being bumped.

[0027] The ice cream cup provided in this application includes a cup body and a cup sleeve. The cup sleeve is arranged on the side of the cup body. The cup sleeve includes an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the inner layer is wrapped by the outer layer. A accommodating cavity is formed between the inner and outer layers, and the accommodating cavity is filled with gas. The accommodating cavity in the cup sleeve is inflatable. The inflated cup sleeve can effectively prevent deformation and breakage caused by collision between the cup bodies during transportation.

[0040] As a product with a long shelf life, ice cream is produced centrally and shipped to terminals across the country for sale. Due to the long transportation distance and the fact that ice cream is transported at low temperatures in a frozen environment, products packaged in plastic cups or products with paper cup bodies and plastic cup lids are inevitably prone to cracking due to bumps during transportation.

[0041] In the prior art, in order to avoid such quality problems, ice cream manufacturers usually use plastic materials to partially thicken the ice cream, or place partitions, gaskets, pearl cotton and other auxiliary shock-absorbing materials in the ice cream cartons to protect the ice cream.

[0042] However, adopting these solutions not only increases costs, but also cannot completely prevent the cracking and breakage of plastic materials.

[0043] Attachment Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a first cup sleeve provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2This is a structural diagram of a second cup sleeve provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 This is a schematic structural diagram of a third cup sleeve provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an ice cream cup, which includes: a cup body 100 and a cup sleeve 200, the cup sleeve 200 is arranged on the side of the cup body 100, the cup sleeve 200 includes an inner layer 201 and an outer layer 202, the inner layer 201 is wrapped by the outer layer 202, and a receiving cavity is formed between the inner layer 201 and the outer layer 202, and the receiving cavity is filled with gas.

[0045] According to an embodiment provided in the present application, the cup sleeve 200 provided on the outside of the cup body 100 has a accommodating cavity, which is filled with gas. Exemplarily, the gas filled in the present application is air, which has a good cold-keeping effect. Moreover, since the cup sleeve 200 is provided on the outside of the cup body 100, the user will not directly contact the cup body 100, which can effectively slow down the melting of ice cream and prevent the user from feeling icy hands.

[0046] In addition, the cup sleeve 200 may be provided with patterns to attract consumers.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the cup sleeve 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes an air nozzle 203 .

[0062] It should be noted that the third cup sleeve 230 can cover at least half of the cup body 100, and the shape of the inner layer 201 also fits the shape of the third cup sleeve 230. The third cup sleeve 230 can tightly cover the cup body 100 to prevent it from loosening during transportation.

[0063] According to one implementation of the embodiment of the present application, the accommodating cavities of the second cup sleeve 220 and the third cup sleeve 230 are configured to have a thickness of at least 1 mm.

[0064] It should be noted that the cup body 100 suitable for the second cup sleeve 220 and the third cup sleeve 230 is a paper cup or a plastic cup. It is worth mentioning that if a cup body 100 made of a paper cup is used, a plastic cover must also be provided on the cup body 100. The thickness of the accommodating cavity formed after the second cup sleeve 220 and the third cup sleeve 230 are inflated is 1-3 mm greater than the thickness of the cup cover extending out of the cup body to prevent the cup covers from colliding with each other.

[0065] Furthermore, the second and third sleeves 220, 230 are also applied after the ice cream has finished freezing, facilitating rapid freezing and maintaining a good cold-retention effect. Furthermore, the second and third sleeves 220, 230 are reusable, eliminating the need to place the sleeve 200 on every cup body 100 during transportation. Intervals between sleeves 220 and 230 can provide the desired protective effect, saving the cost of auxiliary materials such as sizing plates and gaskets.
