Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beverage container technology and relates to a beverage container. Background Technology

[0002] Beverage barrels are common beverage containers widely used in various scenarios requiring the storage and protection of alcoholic beverages, such as home life, corporate gatherings, and outdoor activities. Existing beverage barrels are generally made of PC (polycarbonate) or PET (polyethylene terephthalate).

[0003] However, during transportation, storage, and sales, beverage containers inevitably accumulate dust, dirt, or other external contaminants, affecting their appearance. Furthermore, beverage containers are easily subjected to friction or impact during handling, causing surface wear.

[0004] To this end, Chinese patent application (application number: 201120161160.6) discloses a drinking water bucket with heat shrink film, including a bucket body, and a layer of heat shrink film is provided on the outer wall of the bucket body. The heat shrink film is PE heat shrink film, PVC heat shrink film, POF heat shrink film, PET heat shrink film, OPS heat shrink film, or self-adhesive film.

[0005] However, the above method has the following drawbacks: 1. The surfaces at both ends of the barrel are curved, and the edges of the heat shrink film wrap around the curved surface. During the production process, uneven local shrinkage force may cause the surface to become uneven, which not only affects the overall aesthetics but also easily leads to damage such as tearing, ripping, or peeling of the heat shrink film. 2. During transportation, the barrel may be subjected to varying degrees of impact, compression, or friction. The external force may cause the edges of the heat shrink film to curl up or wrinkle, which can easily lead to damage such as tearing, ripping, or peeling of the heat shrink film, damaging the advertising graphics printed on the surface of the heat shrink film, affecting the protective effect of the heat shrink film on the barrel, and affecting the normal advertising effect. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a beverage container. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to prevent the heat shrink film from being damaged by external forces.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A beverage container, including a barrel body, the outer wall of the barrel body is wrapped with a heat shrink film, characterized in that a handle is provided at the top of the barrel body, a gap is left between the handle and the barrel body, and the heat shrink film extends into the gap.

[0008] During production, the heat-shrink film is first wrapped around the outer wall of the container, and then the handle is installed on the top of the container, covering the edge of the heat-shrink film. The handle does not obstruct the heat-shrink film from wrapping the container. By inserting the heat-shrink film into the gap between the handle and the container, external impacts, pressure, or friction during transportation are not directly applied to the edge of the heat-shrink film but are blocked by the handle. This prevents external forces from causing the edge of the heat-shrink film to curl or wrinkle, thus preventing damage such as tearing or peeling. The heat-shrink film is less prone to damage, and the advertising graphics on its surface are less likely to be damaged, ensuring the protective effect of the heat-shrink film on the container and the normal promotional effect of the advertisement. The handle not only provides additional gripping points, allowing personnel to easily lift and carry the beverage container, but also prevents damage to the heat-shrink film. It achieves multiple functions with one component, making the beverage container multifunctional and compact, effectively controlling costs. The gap between the handle and the bucket not only provides room for the undulations of the heat shrink film edge surface, preventing excessive pressure on the thicker parts of the heat shrink film and thus preventing damage to the heat shrink film and the bucket, but also effectively covers the uneven parts of the heat shrink film edge surface, effectively ensuring the overall aesthetics.

[0009] In the aforementioned beverage container, the handle includes an annular rim, and the gap includes a first gap, which is formed between the rim and the container body. The heat-shrinkable film extends into the first gap. The annular rim circumferentially surrounds the container body, and the heat-shrinkable film extends into the first gap between the rim and the container body. This means the edge of the heat-shrinkable film is completely within the first gap. Impacts, pressure, or friction from circumferential external forces will not directly act on the edge of the heat-shrinkable film; instead, they will be blocked by the rim. This prevents external forces from causing the edge of the heat-shrinkable film to curl or wrinkle, thus preventing damage such as breakage, tearing, or peeling. This makes the heat-shrinkable film less prone to damage, and the advertising graphics on its surface are less likely to be destroyed, ensuring the protective effect of the heat-shrinkable film on the container body and guaranteeing the normal advertising effect.

[0010] The aforementioned beverage container's handle further includes several stops distributed circumferentially on the outer periphery of the edge, with the lower edge of each stop lower than the lower edge of the edge. Based on the edge, the stops further protect the heat-shrink film on the inner side, preventing displacement or warping during transportation or handling due to external forces. This helps to ensure more stable contact between the heat-shrink film and the container body, thereby improving the long-term protective effect of the heat-shrink film on the container. Furthermore, containers of different sizes and shapes may have different curves or bends. The stop design allows the handle to better conform to the shape of the container, improving its applicability and enabling the handle to be stably installed on containers of different shapes, thus achieving reliable protection for the heat-shrink film.

[0011] The aforementioned beverage container also includes a second gap, formed between the baffle and the container body, which is smaller than the first gap. Both the first gap between the baffle and the container body, and the second gap between the baffle and the container body, provide some tolerance for the slight undulations on the surface of the heat-shrinkable film and allow room for thermal expansion and contraction of the material. Simultaneously, the smaller size of the second gap prevents foreign objects from protruding into the first gap and damaging the edge of the heat-shrinkable film.

[0012] In the aforementioned beverage container, the handle is threadedly connected to the container body. This threaded connection not only ensures a secure connection between the handle and the container body, but also prevents damage to the handle or the container body during disassembly and assembly. It allows users to easily and repeatedly disassemble the handle, ensuring its service life and providing flexible installation and disassembly.

[0013] In the aforementioned beverage container, the inner wall of the handle is provided with a protrusion, which includes an inclined guide surface one. The angle between the guide surface one and the inner wall of the handle is an obtuse angle. The top of the container body is provided with a protruding edge that engages with the protrusion, and the protruding edge includes a guide surface two corresponding to the guide surface one. When installing the handle, the protrusion can be aligned with the protruding edge. At this time, the guide surface one and the guide surface two cooperate to guide the relative movement of the protrusion and the protruding edge, guiding the protrusion to move below the protruding edge. Through the engagement of the protrusion and the protruding edge, the handle is installed onto the container body.

[0014] In the aforementioned beverage container, the protrusion is located on the inner circumferential side of the flange, and both the protrusion and the flange are annular. The annular shape of both the protrusion and the flange helps to avoid localized pressure concentration when the protrusion and flange are engaged, ensuring a reliable connection. At the same time, the relative position of the handle and the container body can be adjusted slightly circumferentially, making the installation process flexible.

[0015] The aforementioned beverage container also includes a spout located at the top of the container, with the protruding edge situated on the outer circumference of the spout. The handle is connected to the spout; if damaged, only the spout needs to be replaced, rather than the entire container, effectively controlling costs. Simultaneously, the shape of the spout is fully utilized, making efficient use of existing parts and resulting in a compact structure.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this beverage container has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. In this beverage container, by inserting the heat shrink film into the gap between the handle and the container body, the impact, squeezing, or friction of external forces during transportation will not directly act on the edge of the heat shrink film. Instead, it will be blocked by the handle, preventing the edge of the heat shrink film from lifting or wrinkling due to external forces. This will prevent the heat shrink film from being easily damaged, torn, or peeled off, making it less prone to damage. It will also prevent the advertising graphics on the surface of the heat shrink film from being damaged, ensuring the protective effect of the heat shrink film on the container body and ensuring the normal promotional effect of the advertisement.

[0018] 2. In this beverage container, the handle not only provides additional gripping points, making it easy for people to lift and move the beverage container, but also prevents damage to the heat shrink film, realizing multiple functions in one part. This allows the beverage container to take into account both multifunctionality and compact structure, effectively controlling costs.

[0019] 3. The gap between the handle and the container body in this beverage container not only provides tolerance space for the undulations of the heat shrink film edge surface, preventing excessive pressure on the thicker parts of the heat shrink film that could damage the heat shrink film and the container body, but also effectively covers the uneven parts of the heat shrink film edge surface, effectively ensuring the overall aesthetics.

[0026] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0027] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, this beverage container includes a barrel body 1, the outer wall of the barrel body 1 is wrapped with a heat shrink film 2, a handle 3 is provided at the top of the barrel body 1, and a gap 4 is left between the handle 3 and the barrel body 1, the heat shrink film 2 extends into the gap 4.

[0030] Specifically, handle 3 is equipped with a handheld window for personnel to hold.

[0031] The handle 3 is threaded to the barrel body 1. The threaded connection not only achieves a stable connection between the handle 3 and the barrel body 1, but also prevents damage to the handle 3 or the barrel body 1 during disassembly and assembly. This allows users to easily and repeatedly disassemble the handle 3, ensuring its service life and making installation and disassembly flexible.

[0032] The handle 3 includes an annular retaining edge 3a and several blocks 3b. The blocks 3b are distributed circumferentially on the outer periphery of the retaining edge 3a, and the lower edge of the blocks 3b is lower than the lower edge of the retaining edge 3a. Based on the retaining edge 3a, the blocks 3b further protect the heat-shrinkable film 2 on the inner side, preventing it from shifting or warping due to external forces during transportation or handling. This helps to make the contact between the heat-shrinkable film 2 and the barrel 1 more stable, thereby improving the long-term protective effect of the heat-shrinkable film 2 on the barrel 1. Furthermore, barrels 1 of different sizes and shapes may have different curves or bends. The design of the blocks 3b allows the handle 3 to better conform to the shape of the barrel 1, improving the applicability of the handle 3. This allows the handle 3 to be installed more stably on the barrel 1 when facing barrels of different shapes, thus achieving reliable protection for the heat-shrinkable film 2.

[0033] Specifically, the handle 3 also includes an annular edge, the inner edge of which is connected to the lower edge of the stop 3a, and the upper side of the annular edge is connected to the inner side of the stop 3b.

[0034] The gap 4 includes gap one 4a and gap two 4b. Specifically, gap one 4a is formed between the flange 3a and the barrel 1, and gap two 4b is formed between the stop block 3b and the barrel 1. Gap one 4a is smaller than gap two 4b, and the heat shrink film 2 extends into gap two 4b and gap one 4a in sequence. Gap one 4a between the flange 3a and the barrel 1, and gap two 4b between the stop block 3b and the barrel 1, provide a certain amount of tolerance for the slight undulations on the surface of the heat shrink film 2, and allow room for thermal expansion and contraction of the material. At the same time, gap two 4b is smaller than gap one 4a, which can prevent foreign objects from piercing gap one 4a and thus damaging the edge of the heat shrink film 2.

[0035] The annular baffle 3a surrounds the barrel 1 circumferentially. The heat shrink film 2 extends into the gap 4a between the baffle 3a and the barrel 1, meaning that the edge of the heat shrink film 2 is completely located within the gap 4a. Impacts, compressions, or friction from circumferential external forces will not directly act on the edge of the heat shrink film 2, but will be blocked by the baffle 3a. This prevents external forces from causing the edge of the heat shrink film 2 to lift or wrinkle, thus preventing damage such as breakage, tearing, or peeling. This makes the heat shrink film 2 less prone to damage and the advertising graphics on its surface less likely to be destroyed, ensuring the protective effect of the heat shrink film 2 on the barrel 1 and guaranteeing the normal advertising effect.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] The technical solution in this embodiment is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1. The difference is that in this embodiment, the handle 3 is snapped into the barrel body 1.

[0038] The inner wall of the handle 3 is provided with a protrusion 3c, which includes an inclined guide surface 3c1. The angle between the guide surface 3c1 and the inner wall of the handle 3 is an obtuse angle. The top of the barrel 1 is provided with a protruding edge 5a that engages with the protrusion 3c. The protruding edge 5a includes a guide surface 5a1 corresponding to the guide surface 3c1. When installing the handle 3, the protrusion 3c can be aligned with the protruding edge 5a. At this time, the guide surface 3c1 and the guide surface 5a1 engage to guide the relative movement of the protrusion 3c and the protruding edge 5a, guiding the protrusion 3c to move below the protruding edge 5a. Through the engagement of the protrusion 3c and the protruding edge 5a, the handle 3 is installed onto the barrel 1.

[0039] The protrusion 3c is located on the inner circumference of the retaining edge 5a, and both the protrusion 3c and the retaining edge 5a are annular. The annular shape of both the protrusion 3c and the retaining edge 5a helps to avoid localized pressure concentration when the protrusion 3c and the retaining edge 5a are engaged, thus ensuring a reliable connection. At the same time, the relative position of the handle 3 and the bucket body 1 can be adjusted slightly circumferentially, making the installation process flexible.

[0040] This beverage container also includes a spout 5 located at the top of the container body 1, with a protruding edge 5a on the outer circumferential surface of the spout 5. The handle 3 is connected to the spout 5; if damaged, only the spout 5 needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire container body 1, effectively controlling costs. At the same time, the shape of the spout 5 is fully utilized, making efficient use of existing parts and resulting in a compact structure.

[0041] Specifically, due to slight deviations in production, the protrusion 3c and the protruding edge 5a may not be tightly fitted together. That is, when the handle 3 is installed on the wine spear 5, the handle 3 and the wine spear 5 may not be stuck together. The handle 3 can be rotated slightly in the circumferential direction relative to the wine spear 5 to adjust the relative position of the handle 3 and the wine spear 5.

[0042] During production, the heat shrink film 2 can be first wrapped around the outer wall of the container 1, and then the handle 3 can be installed on the top of the container 1, covering the edge of the heat shrink film 2. The handle 3 will not obstruct the heat shrink film 2 from wrapping the container 1. By inserting the heat shrink film 2 into the gap 4 between the handle 3 and the container 1, the impact, squeezing, or friction of external forces during transportation will not directly act on the edge of the heat shrink film 2, but will be blocked by the handle 3. This prevents external forces from causing the edge of the heat shrink film 2 to curl up or wrinkle, thus preventing damage such as tearing or peeling. This makes the heat shrink film 2 less prone to damage and the advertising graphics on its surface less likely to be damaged, ensuring the protective effect of the heat shrink film 2 on the container 1 and the normal advertising effect. The handle 3 not only provides additional gripping points, allowing personnel to easily lift and carry the beverage container, but also prevents damage to the heat shrink film 2. It realizes multiple functions in one part, making the beverage container multifunctional and compact, effectively controlling costs. The gap 4 between the handle 3 and the barrel 1 not only provides room for the undulations of the edge surface of the heat shrink film 2, preventing the thicker parts of the heat shrink film 2 from being excessively compressed and causing damage to the heat shrink film 2 and the barrel 1, but also effectively covers the uneven parts of the edge surface of the heat shrink film 2, effectively ensuring the overall aesthetics.

[0043] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0044] Although this document frequently uses the terms 1 (bucket body), 2 (heat shrink film), 3 (handle), 3a (edge), 3b (stop block), 3c (protrusion), 3c1 (guide surface one), 4 (gap), 4a (gap one), 4b (gap two), 5 (spear), 5a (protrusion rim), and 5a1 (guide surface two), the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any kind of additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
