[0029] Example 1

[0030] To address the technical problems in the background section, the following square disposable food cup is provided:

[0031] Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a square disposable food cup, including a cup body 1. The cup body 1 is a trapezoidal column structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The edges of the cup body 1 are rounded. A vertical cup opening 11 is provided on the top surface of the cup body 1. A cover frame 12 is fixed on the top surface of the vertical cup opening 11. The outer wall of the cover frame 12 extends outward from the outer wall of the vertical cup opening 11. The inner wall of the cover frame 12 is flush with the inner wall of the vertical cup opening 11. The top surface of the vertical cup opening 11 and the bottom surface of the cover frame 12 are perpendicular to each other. A cover body 2 is sleeved on the outer wall of the vertical cup opening 11. The cover frame 12 is snapped into the inside of the cover body 2.

[0032] The above structure achieves the following effect:

[0033] 1. By designing the cup body 1 as a trapezoidal column structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, it is possible to reduce the area occupied by the bottom while ensuring sufficient capacity. In addition, multiple cup bodies 1 can be stacked together during production and packaging, thereby reducing the volume occupied by storage and packaging.

[0034] 2. When multiple cups 1 are stacked together, the vertical cup opening 11 is used as a separation gap between two stacked cups 1, and the cover frame 12 on the outer wall of the extended vertical cup opening 11 is reserved to form a gripping area that is easy to use, which improves the convenience of removing and using the stacked cups 1.

[0035] 3. The vertical cup opening 11 structure allows for a vertical connection with the lid 2, improving the stability of the lid 2 connection.

[0036] In this embodiment, the top surface of the lid 2 is provided with a lid protrusion 3, which is a raised structure with an inner concave and outer convex shape, and the side of the top surface of the lid 2 is a rounded corner structure. By providing the lid protrusion 3 structure on the top surface of the lid 2, the internal space of the lid 2 is increased, and the overall internal capacity is increased when the lid is placed on the cup 1. The lid protrusion 3 increases the vertical space, so that longer food items can be placed outside the top of the cup 1, improving the convenience of vertical food storage and retrieval. The lid 2 with the lid protrusion 3 structure can insert the lid protrusion 3 into the inside of the lid 2 when multiple lids 2 are stacked, reducing the space occupied by the lids 2 when stacked and ensuring the stability of the stacked lids 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cover body 2 and the cover protrusion 3 are integrally formed, and the cover body 2 and the cover protrusion 3 are connected by an arc-shaped bending structure. By setting the cover body 2 and the cover protrusion 3 as an integrally formed structure, the stability of the cover body 2 structure is ensured, and the arc-shaped bending structure at the bending point ensures a smooth connection and guarantees the stability of production and use.

By setting the inner frame 21 with the right-angled structure as the clamping structure of the cover frame 12, the cover frame 12 can be guided and clamped into the inside of the cover 2 by using the inclined surface of the right angle, which improves the convenience of the clamping operation.

[0041] In the embodiment, the inner card frame 21 is fixed with a card corner block 22 at each of the four inner walls of the right angle, the card corner block 22 is of a circular arc structure, and the bottom surface of the card corner block 22 is of an inverted right angle structure; by arranging the card corner block 22 at each of the four inner walls of the right angle of the inner card frame 21, the card corner block 22 is guided to the bottom of the card cover frame 12 by the guide right angle inclined surface when the card cover frame 12 is clamped into the inner part of the cover body 2, so that the card cover frame 12 is further locked by the card corner block 22, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the cover body 2 and the cup body 1.

[0042] In the embodiment, the inner card frame 21 is fixed with a card corner block 22 at each of the four inner walls of the right angle, the card corner block 22 is of a circular arc structure, and the bottom surface of the card corner block 22 is of an inverted right angle structure; by arranging the card corner block 22 at each of the four inner walls of the right angle of the inner card frame 21, the card corner block 22 is guided to the bottom of the card cover frame 12 by the guide right angle inclined surface when the card cover frame 12 is clamped into the inner part of the cover body 2, so that the card cover frame 12 is further locked by the card corner block 22, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the cover body 2 and the cup body 1.
