Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of container technology, and in particular to a container. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the outer edge of the lid of many containers is hidden within the edge of the cup body, making it difficult for consumers to remove the lid directly from the cup. Typically, the lid has a tear-off tab, which consumers need to separate from the lid to expose the outer edge of the lid, and then fasten the exposed outer edge to separate the lid from the cup body.

[0003] In related technologies, consumers need to manually discard the tear-off piece after separating it from the cup lid, which affects the consumer experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a container that solves the problem of consumers having to manually discard torn parts, thereby enhancing the consumer experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a container, comprising:

[0006] Cup body;

[0007] A lid that can be fitted onto the cup body;

[0008] A tear-off component includes a movable component and a connecting component. The movable component is connected to the cover body, and the connecting component is connected to both the movable component and the cover body. The connecting component is capable of separating from the movable component or the cover body under external force so that a portion of the structure of the movable component forms a force-applying arm. The force-applying arm is used to separate the cover body from the cup body under external force.

[0009] The container according to the embodiments of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0010] The tear-off piece in this application includes a movable part and a connecting part. The movable part is connected to the lid, and the connecting part is connected to both the movable part and the lid. The connecting part can be separated from the lid or the movable part under external force. Both the movable part and the connecting part are connected to the lid. Even if an external force is applied to break the connecting part, the movable part can still be connected to the lid, thereby reducing the need for consumers to manually discard the tear-off piece if the connecting part is broken. Furthermore, by reducing the number of consumers who discard the tear-off piece indiscriminately, the container in this application is more environmentally friendly. Moreover, when a consumer pulls the movable part to separate the connecting part from the lid or the movable part, the consumer can continue to pull the lever upwards, causing the movable part to pull the lid, thus separating the lid from the cup body. The lever reduces the difficulty for consumers to open the lid. Furthermore, directly pulling the lever reduces the possibility of consumers being scratched by the edge of the lid.

[0011] In some embodiments, the connection strength between the connector and the movable member is greater than the connection strength between the connector and the cover.

[0012] In some embodiments, the number of connectors is multiple, and the multiple connectors are spaced apart around the circumference of the movable member.

[0013] In some embodiments, the movable component includes a handle and a body connected to each other, the handle being located below the body, and the connectors being connected to the body and the cover, respectively, with the body connected to the cover.

[0014] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the handle is bent along a direction away from the central axis of the cover, and one end of the handle away from the main body is spaced apart from the cover.

[0015] In some embodiments, the movable member has an anti-slip portion that spans the outer surfaces of the handle and the body, and the anti-slip portion protrudes from the body in a direction away from the central axis of the cover.

[0016] In some embodiments, the handle has rounded corners on the side opposite to the body.

[0017] In some embodiments, the lid is recessed downward to form a receiving groove for receiving a spoon.

[0018] In some embodiments, the cup body has a first wall and a second wall extending circumferentially along the cup body, the second wall being located outside the first wall, the second wall and the first wall being spaced apart to form a positioning groove, and when the lid is placed on the cup body, a portion of the structure of the lid is located within the positioning groove.

[0019] In some embodiments, the second wall is formed with a clearance groove for avoiding the movable member, which can protrude downward from the clearance groove. Attached Figure Description

[0036] In related technologies, the cup lid of the product has a tear-off tab. To separate the lid from the cup body, the connecting piece between the tear-off tab and the lid must be broken. Consumers can understand that the product has not been opened by seeing that the connecting piece is intact. However, when consumers need to open the lid, they must separate the tear-off tab from the lid, and the tab must be manually discarded. Directly discarding it might impact the environment, or require finding a trash can to dispose of it, affecting the consumer experience.

[0037] In this embodiment, the tear-off piece 300 includes a movable piece 310 and a connecting piece 320, with the movable piece 310 connected to the cover 200. When the connecting piece 320 is separated from the movable piece 310 or the cover 200, at least a portion of the movable piece 310 remains connected to the cover 200, thereby reducing the need for consumers to manually discard the tear-off piece 300 when they need to open the cover 200.

[0038] This application provides a container; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 4 The container includes a cup body 400, a lid 200, and a tear-off piece 300. The lid 200 is capable of covering the cup body 400. The tear-off piece 300 includes a movable member 310 and a connecting member 320. The movable member 310 is connected to the lid 200. The connecting member 320 is connected to both the movable member 310 and the lid 200. The connecting member 320 can be separated from the movable member 310 or the lid 200 under external force, so that a portion of the structure of the movable member 310 forms a force-applying arm 310b, which is used to separate the lid 200 from the cup body 400 under external force.

[0039] The lid 200 refers to the main body 312 structure of the cup lid 100. The lid 200 is usually truncated cone in shape.

[0040] The tear-off piece 300 refers to a structure that can be pulled relative to the lid 200. The tear-off piece 300 is usually strip-shaped. Consumers can lift the lid 200 by pulling the tear-off piece 300 to separate the lid 100 from the cup body 400.

[0041] It is understandable that the connection strength between the movable part 310 and the cover 200 is greater than the connection strength between the connector 320 and the movable part 310 and the cover 200.

[0042] For example, the lid 200 and the tear-off piece 300 are combined to form a cup lid 100, which can be placed on the cup body 400. When the connector 320 is separated from the movable piece 310 or the lid 200 under the action of external force, the consumer can separate the cup lid 100 from the cup body 400 by applying external force to the lever arm 310b.

[0043] In this embodiment, the tear-off piece 300 includes a movable part 310 and a connecting part 320. The movable part 310 is connected to the cover 200, and the connecting part 320 is connected to both the movable part 310 and the cover 200. The connecting part 320 can be separated from either the cover 200 or the movable part 310 under external force. Both the movable part 310 and the connecting part 320 are connected to the cover 200. Even when an external force is applied to break the connecting part 320, the movable part 310 can still be connected to the cover 200, thereby reducing the need for consumers to manually discard the tear-off piece 300 after breaking the connecting part 320. Furthermore, by reducing the likelihood of consumers discarding the tear-off piece 300 indiscriminately, the container in this embodiment is more environmentally friendly. Furthermore, when the consumer pulls on the movable part 310 to separate the connecting part 320 from the lid 200 or the movable part 310 itself, the consumer can continue to pull the lever arm 310b upwards, causing the movable part 310 to move the lid 200, thus separating the lid 200 from the cup body 400. The lever arm 310b reduces the difficulty for the consumer to open the lid 200. Moreover, the consumer's ability to directly pull the lever arm 310b reduces the possibility of being scratched by the edge of the lid 200.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The connection strength between connector 320 and movable part 310 is greater than the connection strength between connector 320 and cover 200.

[0045] For example, when projected along the thickness direction of the connector 320, the area of ​​the connector 320 connected to the movable member 310 is larger than the area of ​​the connector 320 connected to the cover 200. This application does not limit the shape of the connector 320; when projected along the thickness direction of the connector 320, the shape of the connector 320 can be triangular or trapezoidal.

[0046] It is understandable that when projected along the thickness direction of the connector 320, the shape of the connector 320 is roughly triangular, and the connector 320 can be easily separated from the cover 200, alleviating the situation where consumers need to apply a large load when pulling the tear piece 300.

[0047] In this embodiment of the application, the connection strength between the connector 320 and the movable part 310 is greater than the connection strength between the connector 320 and the cover 200. During the pulling and tearing process of the tear-off piece 300, the connection between the connector 320 and the cover 200 will break first, while the connector 320 and the movable part 310 can remain connected. This reduces the risk of the connector 320 scratching the consumer's hands when lifting and tearing the tear-off piece 300, resulting in a better consumer experience.

[0048] It is understood that the embodiments of this application are not limited to the connection strength between the connector 320 and the movable member 310 being greater than the connection strength between the connector 320 and the cover 200. Exemplarily, the connection strength between the connector 320 and the movable member 310 is less than or equal to the connection strength between the connector 320 and the cover 200.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are multiple connectors 320, which are spaced apart around the movable part 310.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, there are multiple connectors 320. Multiple connectors 320 can reduce the length of the free end of the movable member 310, thereby reducing the movable range of the movable member 310. Multiple connectors 320 can mitigate the possibility of accidental breakage of the connectors 320 during transportation of the cover 200, which could lead consumers to mistakenly believe that the cover 200 has been opened.

[0051] It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not limit the number of connectors 320.

[0052] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The movable part 310 includes a handle 311 and a main body 312 that are connected to each other. The handle 311 is located below the main body 312. The connector 320 is connected to the main body 312 and the cover 200 respectively. The main body 312 is connected to the cover 200.

[0053] For example, the handle 311 is integrally formed with the main body 312.

[0054] For example, the up and down direction is as follows Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow R1.

[0055] It is understandable that the lever arm 310b is formed in part of the structure of the handle 311 and the main body 312.

[0056] In the embodiment of this application, the movable part 310 includes a handle 311 located below the main body 312. The handle 311 makes it convenient for consumers to grab the movable part 310, thereby enabling consumers to easily pull up the tear strip.

[0057] It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not limit whether the movable part 310 is provided with a handle part 311.

[0058] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 At least a portion of the structure of the handle 311 is bent in a direction away from the central axis of the cover 200, and the end of the handle 311 away from the main body 312 is spaced apart from the cover 200.

[0059] For example, the handle 311 has a bent portion and an extension portion. The bent portion is located at the end of the extension portion facing the body 312. The end of the bent portion facing the body 312 bends in a direction away from the central axis of the cover 200. The extension portion extends vertically in a direction away from the body 312.

[0060] In this embodiment of the application, the end of the handle 311 facing away from the main body 312 is spaced apart from the lid 200, allowing the consumer to insert their hand into the gap between the handle 311 and the lid 200 to hold the handle 311. While holding the handle 311, the consumer can easily pull the tear-off piece 300 to detach the connector 320 from the lid 200, thereby separating the lid 200 from the cup body 400.

[0061] It is understood that the shape of the handle 311 is not limited in the embodiments of this application. Exemplarily, the handle 311 extends downward in a direction away from the body 312.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The movable part 310 has an anti-slip part 310a, which spans the outer surface of the handle 311 and the main body 312. The anti-slip part 310a protrudes from the main body 312 in a direction away from the central axis of the cover 200.

[0063] For example, the anti-slip portion 310a is generally sheet-like in shape and extends along the arrangement direction of the main body 312 and the handle 311. There are multiple anti-slip portions 310a, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the main body 312.

[0064] In the embodiment of this application, the sliding member has an anti-slip portion 310a, which protrudes from the main body 312 in a direction away from the central axis of the cover 200. During the process of a consumer grasping the movable member 310, the anti-slip portion 310a increases the friction between the consumer's hand and the movable member 310, thereby mitigating the situation where the consumer's hand slips away from the movable member 310 during the pulling process.

[0065] It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not limit whether the moving part 310 is provided with an anti-slip part 310a.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The handle 311 has a rounded corner 311a on the side opposite to the main body 312.

[0067] For example, when projected along the thickness direction of the handle 311, the projected area of ​​the handle 311 is approximately rectangular. The two corners of the handle 311 facing away from the main body 312 are rounded corners 311a.

[0068] In the embodiment of this application, the handle 311 has a rounded corner 311a on the side opposite to the main body 312. When the consumer holds the handle 311, the rounded corner 311a can increase the contact area between the handle 311 and the hand, thereby reducing the possibility of the consumer being scratched by the handle 311.

[0069] It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not limit whether the handle 311 is formed with rounded corners 311a.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The lid 200 is recessed downward to form a receiving groove 200a, which is used to receive a spoon.

[0071] For example, the opening of the receiving groove 200a is located on the top surface of the cover 200.

[0072] For example, the lid 200 also includes a release film for covering the opening of the receiving groove 200a. When the spoon is placed in the receiving groove 200a, the release film prevents the spoon from falling out of the receiving groove 200a. The consumer can remove the spoon by breaking the release film.

[0073] In this embodiment of the application, the lid 200 is recessed downwards to form a receiving groove 200a. The cup lid 100 can integrate a spoon, and when a consumer needs to use a spoon, the spoon can be taken out from the receiving groove 200a, and the receiving groove 200a can reduce the degree to which the spoon protrudes from the lid 200. The consumer experience is better.

[0074] For example, the cup body 400 has a receiving cavity 400d for containing liquid or solid. When the cup lid 100 is placed on the cup body 400, the cup lid 100 can close the receiving cavity 400d to isolate the receiving cavity 400d from the outside.

[0075] For example, the container is a yogurt carton. It is understood that this application does not limit the shape of the cup body 400 and the lid 100. Projected vertically, the shape of the projected area of ​​the cup body 400 can be triangular, circular, or elliptical.

[0076] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The cup body 400 has a first wall 400a and a second wall 400b extending circumferentially along the cup body 400. The second wall 400b is located outside the first wall 400a. The second wall 400b and the first wall 400a are arranged at intervals to form a positioning groove 400c. When the cover 200 is placed on the cup body 400, part of the structure of the cover 200 is located in the positioning groove 400c.

[0077] For example, when the cup lid 100 is placed on the cup body 400, the bottom edge of the cup lid 100 is located in the positioning groove 400c.

[0078] In the embodiment of this application, when the cup lid 100 is placed on the cup body 400, a portion of the structure of the cup lid 100 is located within the positioning groove 400c. The second wall 400b can shield the edge of the cup lid 100, thereby reducing dust contamination of the interior of the cup body 400 and the first wall 400a from the outside to a certain extent.

[0079] It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not limit whether the cup body 400 has a second wall 400b located outside the first wall 400a.

[0080] For example, the second wall 400b is formed with a relief groove 400e, which is used to avoid the handle 311. The movable member 310 can protrude downward from the relief groove 400e. When the consumer grabs the handle 311, the relief groove 400e can be inserted between the first wall 400a and the second wall 400b, thereby facilitating the consumer to grab the movable member 310 and apply external force to the lever arm 310b.

[0081] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and all should be covered within the scope of the specification of this application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various technical features mentioned in the embodiments can be combined in any way. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of protection.
