[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] To facilitate the understanding of the cup provided by the embodiments of the present application, first, the application scenario thereof is described. The cup provided by the embodiments of the present application is applied to a bra, but the cups on the market currently either have good support effect but cause compression, or have better flexibility but have poor support effect. Therefore, the cup provided by the embodiments of the present application is used to improve the air permeability and support effect of the cup. The cup is described in detail below in combination with specific drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 The structure of the cup provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the structure diagram, Figure 2 The layer structure of the cup provided by the embodiments of the present application is shown in the structure diagram. The cup provided by the embodiments of the present application mainly has four-layer structure. Specifically, the four-layer structure is sandwich cup body 10, intermediate support layer 20, sponge layer 30, and skin layer 40. In the direction from outside to inside, the arrangement order of the four-layer structure is: sandwich cup body 10, intermediate support layer 20, sponge layer 30, and skin layer 40. That is, the sandwich cup body 10 and the skin layer 40 are located at the outermost layer and the innermost layer, respectively, and the intermediate support layer 20 and the sponge layer 30 are located between the two. In the embodiments of the present application, the cup body 10 is the main function to protect the breast to realize the function of the cup. The intermediate support layer 20 is used to provide support to the breast, and the sponge layer 30 is located on the inner side of the intermediate support layer 20 to reduce the compression feeling of the intermediate support layer 20. In addition, the skin layer 40 has good skin effect to improve the effect when the user wears it. The structure of each part of the cup is described in detail below in combination with specific drawings.
[0024] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The sandwich mold cup body 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is a mold cup body 10 made of sandwich fabric. The surface layer of the sandwich fabric is usually a mesh design, and the middle layer is a monofilament yarn layer connecting the surface layer and the bottom layer, and the bottom layer is usually a densely woven flat surface. The sandwich material has good air permeability and flexibility. When the sandwich fabric is used to prepare the mold cup body 10, the mold cup can have good air permeability and flexibility, thereby improving the user's wearing experience. The sandwich mold cup body 10 can be divided into two parts according to its function, namely, a cup body structure 11 and an arc-shaped peripheral structure 12. Among them, the cup body structure 11 is used to cover the breast, and the arc-shaped peripheral structure 12 is located on the outside of the cup body structure 11 and is an integral structure with the cup body structure 11. As Figure 2 As shown in FIG, the arc-shaped peripheral structure 12 is located below the cup body structure 11 and forms a semi-enclosed manner. The arc-shaped peripheral structure 12 is a structure that cooperates with the middle support layer 20, the sponge layer 30 and the skin-contacting layer 40.
[0025] In practice, the intermediate support layer 20, sponge layer 30, and skin-contacting layer 40 are stacked with the curved outer structure 12. The intermediate support layer 20 is attached to the curved outer structure 12, with the sponge layer 30 located on the side of the intermediate support layer 20 facing away from the intermediate structure, and the skin-contacting layer 40 located on the side of the sponge layer 30 facing away from the intermediate support layer 20. This arrangement enhances the support provided by the curved outer structure 12, thereby improving the overall support of the mold cup. The intermediate support layer 20 can be made of various non-metallic materials, but its hardness must be greater than that of the curved outer structure to provide adequate support. The sponge layer 30 is located on the inner side of the intermediate support layer 20, thereby reducing the pressure exerted by the intermediate support layer 20 on the user. Furthermore, the sponge layer 30 prevents the intermediate support layer 20 from rubbing against the skin, which can cause discomfort, while also providing a certain degree of support. The fabric used for the skin-contacting layer 40 has a cooling function. Since sweat easily accumulates under the breasts of women, this fabric can provide consumers with a moderately cool wrapping feeling.
[0026] As can be seen from the above description, the mold cup provided in the embodiment of the present application improves the breathability of the mold cup by using the sandwich fabric of the sandwich mold cup body 10. At the same time, the support effect of the mold cup is enhanced by laminating the intermediate support layer 20 on the peripheral structure 12 of the sandwich mold cup body 10. In addition, a sponge layer 30 and a skin-contacting layer 40 are also laminated. The sponge layer 30 reduces the pressure exerted by the intermediate support layer 20 on the user, and the skin-contacting layer 40 improves the skin-contacting effect.
[0027] In an alternative solution, the intermediate support layer 20 is a three-dimensional rubber ring, which has a certain supporting effect and also has a certain flexibility, so as to closely fit the body curve and improve the effect of wearing the bra cup. In a specific example, the three-dimensional rubber ring is a nylon three-dimensional rubber ring. The nylon material has good supporting effect and flexibility, and also has a certain skin-friendliness, so as to improve the effect of wearing the bra cup on the user.
[0028] In an implementable solution, the three-dimensional rubber ring is in an arc structure, and the concave side of the three-dimensional rubber ring faces the cup structure 11. That is, the arc of the three-dimensional rubber ring matches the arc shape of the arc peripheral structure 12, so that the three-dimensional rubber ring can better support the breast. In an example, in the height direction, the three-dimensional rubber ring is located in the middle region of the arc peripheral structure 12, and in the length direction, the length of the three-dimensional rubber ring is approximately equal to or slightly smaller than the length of the arc peripheral structure 12, so as to provide more stable support.
[0029] In the specific arrangement of the sponge layer 30 and the intermediate support layer 20, the intermediate support layer 20 is located within the edge range of the sponge layer 30. Thus, the intermediate support layer 20 can be isolated from the user by the sponge layer 30, improve the isolation effect of the sponge layer 30, and reduce the compression of the user by the intermediate support layer 20.
[0030] In an implementable solution, the sponge layer 30 is in an arc structure, and the shape of the sponge layer 30 is the same as that of the arc peripheral structure 12. That is, the sponge layer 30 has the same size as the arc peripheral structure 12, so that the sponge layer 30 can be arranged to the maximum to assist the three-dimensional rubber ring to improve the supporting effect of the bra cup. At the same time, the sponge layer 30 with the maximum size can also increase the contact area with the skin of the user and reduce the compression of the user.
[0031] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, the skin layer 40 extends to the cup structure 11 and is arranged in layers with the cup structure 11. When the skin layer 40 extends to the cup structure 11, on the one hand, the contact area of the skin layer 40 with the user can be increased, and the wearing effect can be improved. In addition, the intermediate support layer 20 and the sponge layer 30 can be encapsulated by the connection of the skin layer 40 and the cup structure 11, so as to avoid the exposure of the intermediate support layer 20 and the sponge layer 30 and improve the overall appearance effect of the bra cup.
[0032] When the intermediate support layer 20, sponge layer 30, and skin-contact layer 40 are stacked with the curved outer structure 12, they are joined together through composite molding. This allows the layers to be stably bonded together to form a composite material layer, reducing the thickness of the stacked layers. Multiple, precise bonding and molding processes are used to connect the layers, enhancing the support of the sandwich cup's base.
[0033] During the specific preparation of the mold cup, the skin-contacting fabric, three-dimensional rubber ring, and sponge are cut and pre-processed according to the predetermined design. Using specialized molding equipment, multiple composite molding processes are performed under high temperature and high pressure to form the base of the sandwich mold cup body 10, ensuring sufficient strength and elasticity after molding. The support layers formed through multi-layer molding technology (intermediate support layer 20, sponge layer 30, skin-contacting layer 40, and curved peripheral structure 12) support and stabilize the breast shape, effectively preventing the mold cup from deforming or shifting during use, and achieving excellent support similar to that of an underwire bra.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application further provides a bra, which includes a bowl surrounding structure 50 and any one of the above-mentioned mold cups fixedly connected to the bowl surrounding structure 50; wherein the middle support layer 20 is located on the outside of the bowl surrounding structure 50.
[0035] In the above technical solution, the sandwich fabric of the sandwich mold cup body 10 is used to improve the mold cup's breathability. At the same time, the intermediate support layer 20 is laminated on the outer structure 12 of the sandwich mold cup body 10 to enhance the mold cup's support. Furthermore, a sponge layer 30 and a skin-contacting layer 40 are laminated to reduce the pressure exerted by the intermediate support layer 20 on the user, while the skin-contacting layer 40 improves the contact effect.
[0036] In a specific possible implementation, the bowl structure 50 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a non-elastic webbing. When the bowl structure 50 of the bra includes a non-elastic webbing, the bowl structure 50 can have a stronger support effect. The bowl structure 50 and the intermediate support layer 20 do not overlap, thereby achieving a bra with multiple support effects. This multiple support effect mainly refers to the double support of the bottom fabric of the mold cup (arc-shaped peripheral structure 12) + rubber ring, plus the support effect of the bottom bowl structure 50 to form a wider bottom force area. Since the chest is affected by the earth's gravity and its own weight remains unchanged, the bottom force area is widened and the pressure is reduced. This design not only increases the overall stability of the bra, but also can evenly distribute the strength of the chest, further enhancing the support effect, thereby achieving effective support similar to that of an underwire bra without using an underwire.
[0037] It can be seen from the above description that the bra provided in the embodiment of the present application provides stable and uniform support for the chest through the combination of the composite molding technology of the sandwich mold cup bottom circumference and the sewing of the non-elastic structure of the bottom circumference, which effectively prevents the chest from sagging and expanding outward, and maintains a good chest shape. In addition, the bra can provide a light and comfortable experience: the light and thin characteristics of the sandwich mold cup greatly reduce the overall weight of the bra and reduce the sense of oppression on the chest. At the same time, the sandwich mold cup has good breathability, which helps to keep the chest skin dry, reduce stuffiness and humidity, and is beneficial to the health of the chest, so that the wearer can feel relaxed and comfortable even when wearing it for a long time. At the same time, the bra also has high stability and fit: the multi-layer structural design ensures that the bra is not easily displaced during wearing, always keeps in a state of fitting the body, and provides continuous support.

Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of one or more embodiments of this specification shall be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
[0039] The above are only specific embodiments of the present application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
