DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in the following by combining the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

[0035] In addition, it needs to be explained that in the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be the communication inside two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0036] In the description of the present specification, the description of the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiment", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present disclosure. In the present specification, the illustrative description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0037] With the increasing demand of consumers for ice cream, selling single ice cream is not enough to attract consumers, and ice cream manufacturers can only survive in the fierce market competition by continuous innovation. With the development of street drinking industry, there are more and more choices of 0 sugar, standard sugar, less ice and other formulas, and consumers also hope to have more choices when consuming traditional ice cream.

[0038] In the prior art, manufacturers increase the small package of snacks in the ice cream cup to improve the use experience and attract consumers. That is, there is a kind of ice cream that can be made by hand on the market, and the product structure is to cover a heat-sealed film on the traditional ice cream, and a small package bag similar to instant noodle seasoning is placed between the heat-sealed film and the package cover. The small package bag contains secondary added granular components. Using this scheme, the cold drink manufacturer needs to purchase a vertical small packaging machine to package the particles, and the consumer needs to add the whole bag at a time. Because the ice cream is hard, the particles can only be mixed with the surface layer of the ice cream after being poured at a time, and the bottom layer of the ice cream cannot be mixed, the particles are not concentrated, and the taste is affected. If you don't want to add the whole bag of particles at a time, it's not easy to put the extra particles in the bag, and it's easy to spill. At the same time, because the space between the heat-sealed film and the package cover is limited, the small bag of particles is usually small, and the particles added inside are small and few. Because the ice cream cup under the heat-sealed film needs to be empty to add particles and stir the space, the cup body needs to be large, and the ice cream cannot be filled.

[0039] However, due to the addition of the small package of snacks, the cup cover of the ice cream cup becomes larger, the cup body also becomes larger, the overall volume of the ice cream cup increases, and the cost investment increases.

[0040] Figure 1A structural schematic diagram of an ice cream package provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 A top view of an ice cream package provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present application provides an ice cream package, which comprises a cup body 100 and a first cup 200 arranged in the cup body 100, the first cup 200 comprises a plurality of partitions 201 for placing edible particles, the bottom of each partition 201 is provided with an insertion plate and an insertion interface, the insertion plate is connected with the insertion interface, and the first cup 200 is formed by splicing the plurality of partitions 201.

[0042] It should be noted that the partitions 201 are mainly made of soft plastic material, and the bottom of each partition 201 is relatively thick and provided with an insertion interface for splicing and connecting with other partitions 201. Since the original equipment on the production line is used for production, no additional equipment needs to be added, thereby reducing the production cost and ensuring the needs of consumers. Meanwhile, the specific volume of the partitions 201 can be designed according to the particle size and quantity of the edible particles to be placed therein, which is not limited in the present application.

[0043] In addition, since the partitions 201 are spliced and connected together, the edible particles in each partition 201 can be poured into the ice cream in the cup body 100, thereby avoiding the situation that all the edible particles are poured into the ice cream at one time during use, and improving the use experience of consumers.

[0044] According to an embodiment provided by the present application, the outer side wall surface of the partition 201 is provided with a film.

[0045] It should be noted that the outer wall surface of the partition 201 is covered with a film, which is not only arranged between the partitions 201, but also arranged on the outer side of the inner wall surface of the partition 201 facing the cup body 100. Since the film is added, the film has certain adhesion between the partitions 201 and the inner wall of the cup body 100, so as to improve the connection stability of the whole, and avoid the connection between the partitions 201 from being loose during transportation. Moreover, since the added film can prevent gas from flowing into the ice cream below the cup body 100, the situation that the liquid ice cream flows into the first cup 200 due to the melting of the ice cream during transportation can be avoided.

[0046] According to an embodiment provided by the present application, the end of the first cup 200 is provided with a stepped cup rim extending outward, and the edge of the first cup 200 abuts against part of the cup rim.

[0047] It should be noted that the edge of the first cup body 200, i.e. the outer edge of the partition layer 201, abuts against a part of the cup rim of the cup body 100, mainly showing that the first cup body 200 falls in the cup body 100 and is clamped by the cup rim part of the cup body, so as to facilitate the consumer to take out the first cup body 200 from the cup body 100.

[0048] According to an embodiment provided by the present application, the cup body 100 is in a circular truncated cone shape, the first cup body 200 is sleeved in the cup body 100, and the side surface of the first cup body 200 is attached to the inner wall of the first cup body 200.

[0049] It should be noted that the cup body 100 is in a circular truncated cone structure with the upper end being larger than the lower end, wherein the overall structure of the first cup body 200 is similar to that of the cup body 100, and the outer wall surface is attached to the inner wall of the cup body 100 as much as possible. It is worth mentioning here that since the outer ring of the first cup body 200 is provided with a film, the film further fills the gap between the first cup body 200 and the cup body 100, further preventing the ice cream from flowing out due to possible melting and tilting during transportation.

[0050] According to an embodiment provided by the present application, the end of the cup body 100 is provided with a cup cover 300, and the cup cover 300 is provided with an annular buckle at the end, which is clamped with the cup rim.

[0051] It should be noted that the cup cover 300 is also in a stepped annular structure, and the size of the lower end is larger than that of the upper end. The annular buckle provided at the lower end is in a spoon shape in cross section, which is used to cooperate with the cup rim part of the cup body 100 to further clamp it to avoid the cup cover 300 from being loose from the cup body 100 during transportation.

[0052] According to an embodiment provided by the present application, the cup cover 300 includes a cover plate 301, which is provided on the upper end of the first cup body 200 to prevent the edible particles from tilting.

[0053] It should be noted that the cover plate 301 and the cup cover 300 are produced by fixed connection, and the cover plate 301 is made of soft plastic material. On the one hand, it is used to press the first cup body 200 below to prevent the edible particles in the first cup body 200 from spilling out during transportation. On the other hand, when the edible particles put in are large and more, the cover plate 301 made of soft plastic material can avoid crushing the edible particles.

[0054] According to an embodiment provided by the present application, the cover plate 301 is provided in the cup cover 300 and has a certain distance from the top end of the inner wall of the cup cover 300.

[0055] It should be noted that the cover plate 301 is spaced apart from the top end of the inner wall of the cup cover 300, and the purpose is to provide a deformation space for the cover plate 301 even if the edible particles poured are large in volume or large in quantity, so as to avoid crushing the edible particles.

[0056] According to an embodiment provided by the present application, the sum of the thicknesses of the cover plate 301 and the cup rim of the cup body 100 is less than the inner wall spacing of the annular buckle.

[0057] According to an embodiment provided by the present application, the bent part of the stepped cup rim is provided with a circular chamfer.

[0058] It should be noted that the thicknesses of the cover plate 301 and the cup rim of the cup body 100 are less than the inner spacing of the buckle, so that the user can easily pry the cup cover 300, even if the consumer has less strength, the cup cover 300 can be easily opened, and the damage of the cup cover 300 or the scratch of the consumer's hand during the opening of the cup cover 300 can be avoided.

[0059] According to an embodiment provided by the present application, the cup body 100 is used to hold dairy products, and the end of the first cup body 200 does not contact the dairy products.

[0060] It should be noted that in the embodiments provided herein, the dairy product is ice cream, which is not limited by the present application. The thickness of the first cup body 200 is limited, so that the overall size of the ice cream produced conforms to the size of the ice cream cup produced by the original production line equipment, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0061] When the consumer eats, a part of the particles can be scattered on the surface of the ice cream first, and after the surface layer is eaten, the bottom layer of the ice cream also becomes soft, and another part of the particles is scattered, and the ice cream is eaten while being scattered, which improves the interest and also stirs more evenly. The consumer can also put the ice cream into the first cup body 200, which has more colors and stronger interest.

[0062] In addition, it is worth mentioning that the first cup body 200 can also be made of edible food materials. After the first cup body 200 is replaced by edible food materials, the surface is no longer covered by a film and is an integral structure. The edible food materials include at least one or more of a crisp tube, a biscuit, an egg roll, and chocolate. The consumer can scatter the particles into the ice cream for eating, or pour the bottom layer of the ice cream into the edible first cup body 200 for eating together with the first cup body 200, and can also use a spoon to break the first cup body 200, and eat the particles and the first cup body 200 debris together with the ice cream after being stirred evenly. The edible first cup body 200 greatly meets the needs of consumers for environmental protection and hand-made production.

[0063] Other embodiments of the application will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the application disclosed herein. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the application being indicated by the following claims.

[0064] It is to be understood that the application is not limited to the precise construction herein described and as shown in the attached drawings, and that various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the application.
