Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food packaging technology, specifically to a cup holder with anti-slip function. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, cups used for purchasing beverages, such as milk tea cups and coffee cups, are very common. Cup holders are widely used for the convenience of carrying and storing these cups. However, existing cup holders have many drawbacks. Most common cup holders are simple tray structures with smooth surfaces, lacking effective anti-slip designs for these beverage cups. When a cup containing milk tea, coffee, or other beverages is placed in the holder, especially in moving situations such as walking or riding in public transportation, or if it is subjected to accidental impact, the cup is very likely to slide or even fall off. This not only causes the beverage to spill, staining clothes, bags, or other items, but may also cause burns and other accidental injuries. Furthermore, because milk tea cups and coffee cups on the market come in various sizes and shapes, while many cup holders are of fixed dimensions, they cannot stably accommodate cups of different sizes, further increasing the risk of the cup slipping. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention proposes a cup holder with anti-slip function, which solves the problem of unstable cup storage in cup holders in related technologies.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A cup holder with anti-slip function for holding cups, comprising:

[0006] A cup holder body, the cup holder body having a receiving groove for receiving the cup;

[0007] The inner wall of the receiving groove has a retaining edge for abutting against the side wall of the cup.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving groove gradually decreases from top to bottom, and there are several locking edges arranged circumferentially on the side wall of the receiving groove.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the locking edge is inclined inward relative to the side wall of the receiving groove, and the side wall of the receiving groove also has a vertical groove, which is a plurality of circumferentially arranged, and the vertical groove is used to allow the inner wall of the receiving groove to expand and contract.

[0010] As a further technical solution, each of the cup holder bodies has a plurality of the receiving grooves, and a first reinforcing protrusion is provided between two adjacent receiving grooves, the sidewall of the first reinforcing protrusion being connected to the sidewall of the receiving groove.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the cup holder body also has a surrounding edge, which is located around the several receiving slots.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the cup holder body also has a second reinforcing protrusion, which is arranged in pairs and located on both sides of the first reinforcing protrusion. The side of the second reinforcing protrusion is connected to the surrounding edge. The second reinforcing protrusion is a stepped shape with a triangular cross-section.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the surrounding edge is a rectangular frame and also has a third reinforcing protrusion, which consists of several protrusions located at the corners of the surrounding edge and is stepped.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the bottom of the cup holder body also has a first recess, which is located on the outside of the card edge, and the first recess has the same shape as the card edge.

The shape and size of the recessed compartment roughly match common beverage cups. The inner wall of the recessed compartment features retaining ridges that allow the cup to fit snugly against its side wall when placed inside. For common cylindrical milk tea cups, the retaining ridges can be distributed circumferentially, applying a clamping force from the side. When carrying a cup containing a beverage, even with shaking or slight impact, the retaining ridges effectively prevent the cup from sliding within the recessed compartment, thus preventing it from falling. The contact between the retaining ridges and the cup's side wall increases friction, significantly improving the anti-slip effect. The retaining ridges provide a certain degree of clamping for beverage cups of different diameters, enhancing the cup holder's versatility. This reduces the risk of spills and potential burns caused by the cup slipping, ensuring user safety. The retaining ridge design is simple, easy to manufacture, and easy to use.

[0027] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model proposes a cup holder with anti-slip function for placing cups, including a cup holder body 1, the cup holder body 1 having a receiving groove 101 for receiving cups; the inner wall of the receiving groove 101 has a retaining edge 102 for abutting against the side wall of the cup.

[0029] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 101 of the cup holder body 1 is specifically designed for holding beverage cups such as milk tea cups and coffee cups. The shape and size of the receiving groove 101 are roughly matched to common beverage cups. The inner wall of the receiving groove 101 is provided with retaining ridges 102, which can tightly abut against the side wall of the cup when it is placed in the receiving groove 101. For common cylindrical milk tea cups, the retaining ridges 102 can be distributed in the circumferential direction of the cup, applying a clamping force to the cup from the side. When carrying a cup containing a beverage, even if it is shaken or slightly bumped, the retaining ridges 102 can effectively prevent the cup from sliding within the receiving groove 101, thus preventing the cup from falling. The abutment of the retaining ridges 102 against the side wall of the cup increases friction, significantly improving the anti-slip effect. The retaining ridges 102 can provide a certain clamping effect for beverage cups of different diameters, enhancing the versatility of the cup holder. This reduces the risk of beverage spillage and possible burns caused by the cup slipping, ensuring the safety of the user. The design of the retaining ridges 102 is simple, easy to manufacture and use.

[0030] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving groove 101 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and there are several locking edges 102 arranged in a circle on the side wall of the receiving groove 101.

[0031] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 101 adopts a design with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area from top to bottom. This shape is similar to a frustum, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Several retaining ridges 102 are evenly arranged circumferentially on the side wall of the receiving groove 101. When a milk tea cup or coffee cup is placed in the groove, due to the special shape of the receiving groove 101, the cup will naturally slide down until it is caught by the retaining ridges 102. The multiple retaining ridges 102 arranged circumferentially apply clamping force to the cup from all directions, further enhancing stability. For common milk tea cups that are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, the cup will slide down the groove wall after being placed in the receiving groove 101 and will eventually be firmly held by the retaining ridges 102. Even if bumped by others in a crowded environment, the cup can remain stable and is not easy to slip off. The shape of the receiving groove 101 allows the cup to automatically slide down to the appropriate position and be held by the retaining ridges 102 without manual adjustment. The circumferentially arranged retaining ridges 102 provide all-round clamping force, so the cup can be placed stably no matter which direction the external force is applied.

[0032] Furthermore, the retaining 102 is inclined inward relative to the side wall of the receiving groove 101, and the side wall of the receiving groove 101 also has a vertical groove 103, which is a plurality of circumferentially arranged, and the vertical groove 103 is used to extend and retract the inner wall of the receiving groove 101.

[0033] In this embodiment, the retaining ridge 102 is inclined inward relative to the side wall of the receiving groove 101. This inclined design allows the retaining ridge 102 to better fit against the side wall of the cup, increasing the stability of the clamping. The side wall of the receiving groove 101 is provided with several circumferentially arranged vertical grooves 103. These vertical grooves 103 give the inner wall of the receiving groove 101 a certain degree of elasticity. When a coffee cup with a larger diameter is placed, due to the inclination of the retaining ridge 102 and the presence of the vertical grooves 103, the inner wall of the receiving groove 101 can expand appropriately, thereby accommodating and firmly clamping the cup. For a milk tea cup with a smaller diameter, the retaining ridge 102 and the inner wall can fit more tightly against the cup, providing sufficient anti-slip force.

[0034] Furthermore, each cup holder body 1 has several receiving grooves 101, and a first reinforcing protrusion 104 is provided between two adjacent receiving grooves 101. The sidewall of the first reinforcing protrusion 104 is connected to the sidewall of the receiving groove 101.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a single cup holder body 1 is provided with several receiving slots 101 to meet the need to carry multiple beverage cups simultaneously. Commonly used cup holders include, but are not limited to, two-compartment and four-compartment cup holders. A first reinforcing protrusion 104 is provided between two adjacent receiving slots 101. The sidewall of the first reinforcing protrusion 104 is connected to the sidewall of the receiving slot 101. For example, when purchasing multiple beverages at once, such as two cups of milk tea and one cup of coffee, they can be placed in different receiving slots 101 respectively. The first reinforcing protrusion 104 enhances the structural strength between adjacent receiving slots 101. When carrying multiple cups containing beverages, even if subjected to significant shaking or collisions, the first reinforcing protrusion 104 can effectively disperse and withstand external forces from different directions, reducing the impact on the receiving slots 101 and the cups, and preventing the cups from slipping. The first reinforcing protrusion 104 significantly improves the overall structural strength of the cup holder body 1, making it more durable. It can effectively disperse external forces and reduce the risk of cups slipping due to external forces.

[0036] Furthermore, the cup holder body 1 also has a perimeter portion 105, which is located around a plurality of receiving slots 101.

[0037] In this embodiment, in addition to the receiving groove 101, the cup holder body 1 also has a surrounding edge 105. The surrounding edge 105 is higher than the receiving groove 101. For example, when carrying a cup containing a beverage, if it is accidentally tilted or shaken, the surrounding edge 105 can act as a barrier to prevent the cup from sliding off the side. Even if the beverage in the cup spills due to shaking, the surrounding edge 105 can also prevent the beverage from flowing out of the cup holder area to a certain extent, reducing pollution to the surrounding environment. The surrounding edge 105 provides side protection, enhancing the safety of placing the cup. It reduces the trouble caused by beverage spills and keeps the surrounding environment clean. The design of the surrounding edge 105 makes the cup holder look more complete and aesthetically pleasing. It provides better protection whether carried normally or used in more complex environments.

[0038] Furthermore, the cup holder body 1 also has a second reinforcing protrusion 106. The second reinforcing protrusion 106 is arranged in pairs and located on both sides of the first reinforcing protrusion 104. The side of the second reinforcing protrusion 106 is connected to the surrounding edge 105. The second reinforcing protrusion 106 is a stepped shape with a triangular cross section.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the second reinforcing protrusion 106 is a triangular stepped shape. For example, when carrying multiple cups containing beverages, if an external impact occurs, the paired second reinforcing protrusions 106 can work in conjunction with the first reinforcing protrusion 104 to enhance the structural strength and stability of the entire cup holder. The triangular stepped design allows the second reinforcing protrusions 106 to effectively disperse and withstand forces from all directions, reducing the impact on the cups in the receiving slot 101. This improves the cup holder's ability to withstand external impacts and extends its service life.

[0040] Furthermore, the perimeter 105 is a rectangular frame and also has a third reinforcing protrusion 107, which consists of several protrusions located at the corners of the perimeter 105 and is stepped.

[0041] In this embodiment, when carrying a cup holder containing a beverage, if it is accidentally bumped into an object or dropped, the rectangular frame's perimeter 105 can protect the cup from direct impact to a certain extent. The third reinforcing protrusion 107 located at the corner can withstand greater impact force, reducing the possibility of deformation of the perimeter 105. When multiple cup holders are stacked, the third reinforcing protrusion 107 also serves to position and support them, preventing them from sliding against each other. This further enhances the overall structural stability of the cup holder and extends its service life. It comprehensively improves the protective effect on the cup and adapts to various usage scenarios.

[0042] Furthermore, the bottom of the cup holder body 1 also has a first recess 108, which is located on the outside of the retaining ridge 102 and has the same shape as the retaining ridge 102.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the cup is placed in the receiving slot 101, the retaining ridge 102 clamps the side wall of the cup, and the presence of the first recess 108 reduces the material used at the bottom of the cup holder body 1, lightening the overall weight and making it easier to carry and use. Simultaneously, during manufacturing, the design of the first recess 108 simplifies the mold structure and reduces production costs. Furthermore, when transporting and storing multiple cup holders, the presence of the first recess 108 allows adjacent cup holders to be nested and stacked, saving storage space and improving transportation and storage efficiency. This reduces material usage and cup holder weight; simplifies the mold and reduces manufacturing costs; and makes the cup holder structure more rational without affecting anti-slip performance. It also facilitates the transportation and storage of multiple cup holders, improving space utilization.

[0044] Furthermore, the bottom of the cup holder body 1 also has a second recess 109, a third recess 110 and a fourth recess 111. The second recess 109, the third recess 110 and the fourth recess 111 are located on the outside of the first reinforcing protrusion 104, the second reinforcing protrusion 106 and the third reinforcing protrusion 107 respectively, and have the same corresponding shape.

[0045] In this embodiment, the bottom of the cup holder body 1 is provided with a second recess 109, a third recess 110, and a fourth recess 111. The second recess 109 is located outside the first reinforcing protrusion 104, the third recess 110 is located outside the second reinforcing protrusion 106, and the fourth recess 111 is located outside the third reinforcing protrusion 107, and their shapes are the same as their corresponding reinforcing protrusions. In practical use, the design of these recesses further reduces the weight of the cup holder and saves materials without affecting the strength and anti-slip performance of the cup holder. When multiple cup holders are stacked, these recesses allow adjacent cup holders to be nested more tightly, which not only saves storage space but also increases the stability of stacking.

[0046] Furthermore, it also has a number of horizontal grooves 112, which are distributed in an array between the first reinforcing protrusion 104 and the second reinforcing protrusion 106.

[0047] In this embodiment, a plurality of horizontal grooves 112 are arrayed between the first reinforcing protrusion 104 and the second reinforcing protrusion 106 of the cup holder. For example, when a cup holder with multiple receiving slots 101 holds multiple large cups, the cups will exert inward pressure on the sidewalls of the receiving slots 101. At this time, the horizontal grooves 112 can play a role in buffering and limiting deformation, preventing the receiving slots 101 from deforming excessively. In practical use, the presence of the horizontal grooves 112 can also increase friction, reducing sliding between adjacent cup holders when multiple cup holders are stacked, and improving the stability of stacking. At the same time, the horizontal grooves 112 can also play a certain role in buffering, dispersing and absorbing some energy when subjected to external impact, enhancing the impact resistance of the cup holder.

[0048] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
