DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model provides a kind of straw fixing support, to make the purpose, technical scheme and effect of the utility model more clear, definite, the following referring to drawing and taking example for further detailed description of the utility model.It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the utility model.

[0021] Please refer toFigures 1-4 The utility model provides a straw fixing support, including support 1 and the elbow 2 of setting in the top of support 1, support 1 and the elbow 2 are made of flexible silica gel, the bottom surface of support 1 is set up with the clamping groove 11 upwards, support 1 is clamped to the upper edge of cup 3 through clamping groove 11, the top of elbow 2 is cut out and clamps pipe groove 21 downwards, clamps pipe groove 21 along the axis of elbow 2 extension, one end of elbow 2 can guide straw 4 and stretch into cup 3, the other end of elbow 2 can guide straw 4 and direct to the user.

[0022] When the straw fixing support is installed on cup 3, the clamping groove 11 set up on the bottom surface of support 1 upwards can be tightly clamped to the upper edge of cup 3. Since support 1 is made of flexible silica gel, on the one hand, it has a certain flexibility, which facilitates the user to adapt and install the clamping groove 11 with the cup rim of different sizes and different materials, and can be easily clamped and tightly fitted with the cup rim, ensuring the stability of the overall position of the support on cup 3; on the other hand, the friction characteristics of silica gel can prevent the support from easily falling or shifting when subjected to external forces such as slight shaking, external touching, etc.

[0023] When the straw 4 is placed in the clamping pipe groove 21, the clamping pipe groove 21 restricts the left and right shaking of the straw 4 from both sides. At the same time, the downward inclination of one end of the elbow 2 can accurately guide the straw 4 to the inside of the cup 3, so that the head of the straw 4 reaches the appropriate position in the drink, ensuring smooth drinking of the drink; the other end is directed towards the user, facilitating the user's lips to naturally contact the straw 4 and smoothly perform the sucking action. Throughout the process, whether in the daily stationary state or in the case of shaking, air flow interference, etc. of the cup 3, the support made of flexible silica gel can buffer external forces by using its elastic deformation, maintain the straw 4 in a fixed position and angle, and ensure the stability of the sucking function.

[0024] The straw fixing support provided by the utility model can adapt to various cups 3, whether it is a plastic cup, a glass cup, a ceramic cup in terms of material, or a large-capacity cup, a small and portable cup with different sizes and specifications, which can be tightly installed by adjusting the deformation of silica gel, greatly expanding the universality of the product. For the elderly, patients with limb movement disorders and other special groups with poor hand flexibility, the straw fixing support greatly reduces the difficulty of using the straw 4. Compared with the previous situation that the straw 4 is easily displaced, it is laborious to re-align the drink and easy to spill, now the straw 4 is firmly fixed by the support, they do not need to frequently and difficultly adjust the position of the straw 4, and can easily and independently drink the drink, improving the self-care ability and life quality.

[0025] Specifically, the pipe clamping groove 21 includes a loose section 211 and a necked fixed section 212 arranged at both ends of the loose section 211, and the inner diameter of the loose section 211 is larger than that of the necked fixed section 212. The larger inner diameter of the loose section 211 is designed to be highly inclusive, and can easily accommodate straws 4 of different outer diameter sizes, whether they are thin coffee stirring straws or relatively thick regular drink straws. The necked fixed section 212, with good elasticity of the silica gel material, can adapt to straws 4 of different thicknesses within a certain range, while ensuring stable clamping and achieving universal adaptation to various specifications of straws 4, thereby widening the application scenarios of the product and meeting the needs of different user habits and various drink combinations.

[0026] It can be understood that the necked fixed section 212 is located at both ends of the loose section 211, and its inner diameter is smaller than that of the loose section 211, so it can limit the straw 4. When the straw 4 passes through the necked fixed section 212 and enters the pipe clamping groove 21, the neck tightly clamps the straw 4, preventing it from moving randomly in the horizontal and vertical directions. Even in the face of situations such as cup 3 shaking, accidental collision, or strong air flow interference, the position of the straw 4 can be accurately fixed, and the user does not need to repeatedly correct the position of the straw 4, greatly improving the stability and smoothness of the process of drinking the drink.

[0027] Specifically, the clamping groove 11 is a straight groove 111 that penetrates the side of the support 1, and the top of the straight groove 111 is provided with a round corner 112. In this way, the support 1 will form two clamping legs at the straight groove 111, effectively clamping the cup 3 with elasticity to ensure reliability. The user only needs to align the upper edge of the cup 3 with the straight groove 111 and press it gently downward along the direction of the straight groove 111, and the support can be quickly installed on the cup 3 without complex alignment operations or the use of other auxiliary tools. Similarly, disassembling the support is also very convenient, greatly simplifying the assembly process of the support and the cup 3. Reverse operation can easily remove it, whether it is frequently replaced at home or temporarily adjusted according to different scenarios when going out. It can efficiently complete the operation, save time and effort, and significantly improve the convenience of use.

[0028] The straight groove 111 design is not limited by the shape of the upper edge of the cup 3, whether it is round, square, or irregular, as long as its thickness is within the range that the straight groove 111 can accommodate, it can be stably clamped. This versatility means that the support can be applied to most cups 3 on the market, covering various materials, various styles of water cups, coffee cups, thermoses, etc.

[0029] In this embodiment, the elbow 2 is integrally injection molded with the support 1, and has good structural strength. Integrally injection molding simplifies the production process, and the mold can produce a complete product in one molding, greatly shortening the production cycle and significantly improving the yield, which helps to reduce production costs, making the product more price competitive in the market and meeting the large-scale market demand.

[0030] In other embodiments, the elbow 2 and the support 1 are detachably connected. The use scene of the beverage is complex and changeable, and after long-time use, no matter whether the clamping groove 11 of the support 1 is stained with various stains and water stains due to contact with the cup edge or the pipe clamping groove 21 of the elbow 2 accumulates dirt and residual beverage marks due to frequent friction with the straw 4, the detachable structure can easily separate the two for all-around and dead-angle-free deep cleaning. For example, the support 1 can be soaked and brushed in warm water added with a cleaning agent to remove stubborn tea stains and coffee stains in the clamping groove 11, and the elbow 2 can be carefully wiped inside the pipe clamping groove 21 to prevent the breeding of microorganisms and ensure that each use is clean and hygienic, thereby providing a healthy beverage sucking environment for the user.

[0031] When the elbow 2 and the support 1 are in a split structure, a cylindrical tenon of silica gel material is arranged at the top center of the support 1, and a circular mortise matched with the tenon is designed at the bottom of the elbow 2. When assembling, the mortise at the bottom of the elbow 2 is aligned with the tenon at the top of the support 1, and the tenon is gradually inserted into the mortise by gently pressing with the softness of the silica gel, until the tenon is completely inserted into the mortise. At this time, the mortise and tenon structure is tightly engaged, so that the elbow 2 and the support 1 are firmly connected to provide stable support for the straw 4.

[0032] Preferably, the elbow 2 is in the shape of a faucet, so that the elbow 2 has a water outlet bending end 22 and an outer threaded end 23. The water outlet bending end 22 faces the inside of the cup 3, and the outer threaded end 23 faces the user. The unique faucet shape injects novel visual elements into the originally monotonous straw fixing support, breaks through the conventional design limitations, and stands out among ordinary cup accessories. Placed on the desktop, it looks like a delicate miniature faucet ornament, adding interest and fashion to life, and is suitable for home, office, coffee shop and other scenes, becoming an eye-catching decoration highlight, meeting the pursuit of consumers for both practicality and aesthetics.
