[0030] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be given.
[0031] The embodiment of the present utility model provides a drinking cup capable of positioning a curled hose 31, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drinking cup includes a cup body 1, a cup cover 2, a first drinking water tube 3 and a reel 4; the cup cover 2 is installed on the top of the cup body 1, and a first pipe opening 21 connected to the water storage chamber 11 of the cup body 1 is opened on the cup cover 2; the first drinking water tube 3 includes an inner tube 32 and a curled hose 31 connected to the inner tube 32, and the inner tube 32 is inserted into the water storage chamber 11 through the first pipe opening 21; the reel 4 is rotatably installed on the cup cover 2, and the curled hose 31 can be rolled up and wound around the reel 4.
[0032] A coil spring 5 is provided at the rotating connection of the reel 4, which is used to drive the reel 4 to rotate and reel the coiled hose 31; a locking assembly 6 is provided on the cup cover 2, which is used to lock the reel 4 when the coiled hose 31 stops stretching on the reel 4.
[0033] The drinking cup of the present invention is provided with a locking assembly 6 on the cup lid 2. When the user extends the coiled hose 31 for use, the coiled hose 31 stops extending on the reel 4 and can lock the reel 4. This prevents the reel 4 from rotating and pulling the coiled hose 31 back due to the elastic force of the coil spring 5. In this way, when the user drinks water from the coiled hose 31, the coiled hose 31 will not be accidentally retracted by the coil spring 5 due to the user's loose grip, which would cause inconvenience in drinking water.
[0034] The drinking cup of the present invention can be placed next to the driver's seat as an in-vehicle drinking cup for drinking water, or it can be used in situations where the user is bedridden and has limited mobility, or in other suitable scenarios. The coil spring 5 is configured to provide driving force for the reel 4 to automatically reel in the coiled hose 31. When the user extends the coiled hose 31 from the reel 4, the reel 4 is driven to rotate, which in turn compresses the coil spring 5 and accumulates energy. When reeling in the coiled hose 31, the potential energy of the coil spring 5 drives the reel 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby reeling in the coiled hose 31. While the user continues to extend the coiled hose 31, the locking assembly 6 does not lock the reel 4, ensuring that the coiled hose 31 can be extended normally. When the user stops extending the coiled hose 31, the locking assembly 6 locks the reel 4, thereby fixing the extended length of the coiled hose 31. Even if the user releases the coiled hose 31, the coiled hose 31 can be positioned at the currently extended length. The coordinated configuration of the reel 4 and coil spring 5 facilitates the automatic retraction of the coiled hose 31. The coil spring 5 can be installed at the rotation connection of one end of the reel 4.
[0035] Specifically, the cup lid 2 is provided with a cover 22, which encloses a mounting cavity 23. The reel 4 is rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity 23, and the locking assembly 6 is installed in the mounting cavity 23. The inner tube 32 is led out from the first pipe opening 21 and then introduced into the mounting cavity 23, where it is connected to the coiled hose 31. This solution facilitates the installation of the reel 4 by providing the cover 22 to enclose the mounting cavity 23.
[0036] Specifically, combined Figure 7 As shown, the cover body 22 has a top plate 221. The top plate 221 is provided with a pipe outlet opening 221a extending along the axial direction of the reel 4. One end of the coiled hose 31 is led out from the pipe outlet opening 221a. A limiting portion 311 is provided on the end of the coiled hose 31 that is led out from the pipe outlet opening 221a. The limiting portion 311 can abut against the pipe outlet opening 221a. The top plate 221 can seal the cover body 22 to ensure the cleanliness of the hose and reel 4. At the same time, the pipe outlet opening 221a provided on the top plate 221 can ensure the normal leading out of the coiled hose 31. The limiting portion 311 can abut against the pipe outlet opening 221a when the coiled hose 31 is retracted, preventing the end of the coiled hose 31 from being completely retracted into the mounting cavity 23, making it convenient for the next use of the coiled hose 31.
[0037] Specifically, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a rack 41 is provided on one end face of the reel 4. The locking assembly 6 includes a first elastic member 61 and a pawl 62. The first elastic member 61 is connected to the pawl 62, which is rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity 23. The pawl 62 is positioned corresponding to the rack 41. When the coiled hose 31 is extended from the reel 4, the reel 4 rotates, causing the pawl 62 to slide on the rack 41. When the coiled hose 31 stops extending, the pawl 62, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 61, engages with the tooth groove 411 of the rack 41, locking the reel 4. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 61, the pawl 62 engages with the tooth groove 411 of the rack 41, thereby locking the reel 4.
[0038] Specifically, the first elastic member 61 is a spring, and the pawl 62 is L-shaped. The pawl 62 is rotatably mounted on the housing 22, with the pawl 62's rotational mounting point 621 eccentrically positioned relative to the connection point of the first elastic member 61. The pawl 62 includes a tip portion 622 that engages with the tooth groove 411 of the rack 41. The tip portion 622 has an inclined edge 622a on one side and a straight edge 622b on the other. Under the elastic force of the spring, the tip portion 622 engages with the tooth groove 411 of the rack 41. Because the tip portion 622 has an inclined edge 622a on one side and a straight edge 622b on the other side, the spool 4 is locked.
[0039] by Figure 4 As shown, when the coiled hose 31 is extended, it drives the drum 4 to rotate clockwise. Because the tip 622 has an inclined edge 622a on one side, it does not interfere with the tooth groove 411, hindering the drum's rotation. Therefore, the drum can continue to rotate, allowing the coiled hose 31 to extend normally while the coil spring 5 contracts and accumulates energy. When the coiled hose 31 stops extending, the eccentric arrangement of the rotational mounting point 621 of the pawl 62 and the connection point of the first elastic member 61 causes the spring to pull the tip 622 into the tooth groove 411. Because the other side of the tip 622 has a straight edge 622b, the straight edge 622b forms a blocking position with the tooth groove 411, locking the drum 4. Although the contraction and accumulation of energy in the coil spring 5 tends to drive the drum 4 counterclockwise, the blocking position formed by the straight edge 622b and the tooth groove 411 restricts the counterclockwise rotation of the drum 4, thereby locking the drum 4 and maintaining the current extended state of the coiled hose 31.
[0040] Combine Figure 5As shown, when the coiled hose 31 needs to be reeled up, the coiled hose 31 is slightly pulled further, and the reel 4 moves slightly, so that the tip 622 of the pawl 62 leaves the tooth groove 411 (but does not enter the next tooth groove 411), the reel 4 is unlocked, and the straight edge 622b comes into contact with the top surface of the rack 41. Driven by the coil spring 5, the reel 4 will continue to rotate counterclockwise because it has been unlocked. During the continuous counterclockwise rotation of the reel 4, the tip 622 of the pawl 62 will never be re-engaged in the tooth groove 411, that is, during this process, the straight edge 622b of the tip 622 continues to slide on the top surface of the rack 41 (when the rack 41 is set as Figure 4 The same is true for the state of not surrounding the axis of the reel 4. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the reel 4 rotates counterclockwise, and after the pawl 62 leaves the rack 41, it will slide back onto the top surface of the rack 41 from the other end. When the coiled hose 31 is completely wound, the reel 4 stops rotating. At this time, the pawl 62 is in the position of the rack 41. Since the reel 4 has stopped rotating, the spring pulls the tip 622 of the pawl 62 to rise clockwise, and the tip 622 is re-engaged in the tooth groove 411 (see Figure 4 ).
[0041] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 4 , the rack 41 is partially arranged around the axis of the reel 4. More specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the coil spring 5 is mounted on one end of the drum. The other end of the drum has a side plate 43, and the rack 41 is mounted on the end 431 of the side plate 43. One end of the inner tube 32 extends from the first pipe opening 21 and is mounted in the mounting hole 222 on the side of the housing 22. The end of the inner tube 32 is connected to the axial seal 8, which is in turn connected to the stainless steel rotating member 9. The end 431 of the side plate 43 is mounted on the stainless steel rotating member 9, which is able to rotate in the mounting hole 222. The stainless steel rotating member 9 is also fitted with a sealing ring 10. When the drum rotates, it drives the side plate 43, the rack 41, and the stainless steel rotating member 9 to rotate. The inner tube 32, the axial seal 8, the stainless steel rotating member 9, and the end 431 of the side plate 43 are connected in sequence. A pipe opening is formed on the side of the end 431 of the side plate 43, and one end of the coiled hose 31 is connected to the pipe opening, thus connecting it to the inner tube 32.
[0042] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the circumference of the reel 4 is provided with a limiting groove 42. The limiting groove 42 is arranged in multiple layers around the side of the reel 4. When the coiled hose 31 is wound on the reel 4, it is confined in the limiting groove 42. The limiting groove 42 can limit the position of the coiled hose 31 and improve the winding stability of the coiled hose 31.
[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the drinking cup also includes a fixed base 7, and the cup body 1 is mounted on the fixed base 7, and the fixed base 7 is used to fix the drinking cup on the placement surface. The fixed base 7 can fix the drinking cup on the placement surface to prevent it from tipping over when the curling hose 31 is pulled.
[0044] Specifically, the fixed base 7 is provided with at least three spaced apart limiting pieces 71, and the bottom of the cup body 1 is installed in the installation space 72 limited by the at least three limiting pieces 71; a suction cup 73 is provided at the bottom of the fixed base 7. The fixed base 7 is fixed to the prevention surface by suction through the suction cup 73.
[0045] Further, if Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the cup lid 2 also defines a first drinking opening 24. A slidable shielding piece 25 is also provided on the cup lid 2, corresponding to the first drinking opening 24. The shielding piece 25 is provided with a shielding film 251, and a cutout 251a is provided in the shielding film 251. When the shielding piece 25 slides to a first position, it blocks the first drinking opening 24, and when it slides to a second position, it opens the first drinking opening 24. A drinking spout 26 is provided on the edge of the cup lid 2, corresponding to the first drinking opening 24. The shielding piece 25 shields the first drinking opening 24, preventing dust and other foreign matter from entering the cup body 1. The shielding film 251 also defines a cutout 251a for inserting a straw 20 for drinking. When the shielding piece 25 slides to the second position, opening the first drinking opening 24, the user can drink directly through the drinking spout 26. This allows for multiple drinking methods and provides convenient drinking. The incision 251 a may be a cross-shaped incision 251 a to facilitate insertion of the straw 20 .
[0046] Specifically, the shielding piece 25 can be slidably mounted in a slot on the side of the housing 22 corresponding to the first drinking opening 24. The slot is connected to the mounting cavity 23, and the shielding piece 25 is slidably mounted in the slot. When the shielding piece 25 is pulled out of the slot, it blocks the first drinking opening 24, representing a first state. When the shielding piece 25 is pushed into the mounting cavity 23 from the slot, the first drinking opening 24 is opened, representing a second state.
