Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking containers, and in particular to a cup with a flexible lifting and lowering straw. Background Technology

[0002] Water cups are essential items in people's daily lives. A water cup is generally composed of a lid and a body. The lid fits onto the body to seal the cup. Common drinking methods are generally divided into sipping and direct drinking. Sipping requires the use of a straw.

[0003] Reference to the utility model patent with publication number CN 221903170 U entitled "A Double Drinking Cup Lid", the top cover is rotatably connected to the lid body, and the straw is vertically movably connected to the installation channel of the lid body. The movement trajectory of the top cover during the closing process is arc-shaped. During the closing process of the top cover, the direction of the force applied by the top cover to the straw is not consistent with the direction of the straw's movement. In addition, when the top cover and the cup body are detachably connected or the top cover and the lid body are detachably connected, as long as the straw is set to extend and retract in a fixed direction vertically, it is impossible to control the closing direction to be consistent with the movement direction of the straw during the closing process. The straw is prone to tilting, and may even cause the straw to self-lock and get stuck. This makes the downward retraction of the straw not smooth enough, and the user is not effortless in closing the top cover. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a cup with a flexible, adjustable straw, which solves the problems of insufficiently smooth straw retraction and reduced effort.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a cup with a flexible lifting straw, including a cup body and a cup lid. The cup body includes an opening and a straw body. A support member is connected to the upper part of the straw body. The support member includes a contact piece. The contact piece is elastic and extends laterally. The opening extends vertically and the contact piece abuts against the inner wall of the opening.

[0006] Through the above technical solution, the support on the straw body uses a contact piece to contact the inner wall of the opening, so that when the straw body is subjected to pressure, the orientation of the upper part of the straw body can be changed by the deformation of the contact piece. The straw body of this utility model does not move in a fixed direction, but can be tilted appropriately. When the cup lid is pressed down and closed on the cup body, the straw body retracts downward more flexibly and smoothly.

[0007] Furthermore, the thickness of the contact piece gradually decreases in the direction away from the center of the straw body.

[0008] The above technical solution makes it easier for the contact plate to undergo elastic deformation at positions farther from the center of the straw, resulting in a more reasonable force distribution on the contact plate. This also makes the straw body generate greater elastic force as its tilt increases, and the straw body can more easily return to a vertical state after the external force is removed, making it convenient to use.

[0009] Furthermore, the contact piece is arranged in a ring, and the support member is used to block the space between the side wall of the straw body and the inner wall of the opening.

[0010] The above technical solution makes the straw body more evenly stressed in the circumferential direction, and the straw body can tilt to either side and achieve flexible shrinkage during the shrinkage process, making it more convenient to use. In addition, the support can prevent water vapor in the cup from escaping, further increasing the functions of heat preservation and freshness preservation.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape and size are the same at all points along the extension direction of the opening, and the edge shape of the contact piece is adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the opening.

[0012] The above technical solution makes the straw body more evenly stressed in the circumferential direction, and also makes it easier to assemble the straw body with the support into the cup body, which facilitates assembly and production.

[0013] Furthermore, the support member includes a cylindrical portion, the contact piece is connected to the outer wall of the cylindrical portion, and the cylindrical portion is sleeved on the upper part of the straw body.

[0014] The above technical solution increases the contact area between the support and the straw, making the assembly of the support and the straw more compact and secure.

[0015] Furthermore, the cylindrical portion is elastic, and the cylindrical portion and the contact piece are integrally formed.

[0016] The above technical solution makes the manufacturing of the support component more convenient. Moreover, since the straw body is not subjected to the pressure of the cup lid, the contact piece is more likely to maintain a lateral outward extension state relative to the cylindrical part, so that the contact piece can provide more elasticity.

[0017] Furthermore, in the vertical direction, the contact piece is connected to the middle of the cylindrical portion.

[0018] The above technical solution reduces the deformation of the cylindrical part caused by the contact piece during elastic deformation, preventing the edge of the cylindrical part from lifting up and causing a decrease in the tightness of the connection between the cylindrical part and the straw body.

[0019] Furthermore, the straw body includes a first tube and a second tube. The first tube is made of a rigid material, and the second tube is made of an elastic material. A limiting step is provided on the inner wall of the second tube. The bottom end of the first tube extends into the upper opening of the second tube and abuts against the limiting step.

[0020] With the above technical solution, after the straw body is subjected to the pressure of the cup lid, the second tube body bends elastically and abuts against the bottom inner wall of the cup body. After the cup lid is opened from the cup body, the second tube body drives the first tube body to move upward, and the upper end of the first tube body extends upward to facilitate the user's drinking.

[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a cup with a flexible lifting straw includes a cup body 1 and a cup lid 2. The cup body 1 includes an opening 101 and a straw body 3. A support member 4 is connected to the upper part of the straw body 3. The support member 4 includes a contact piece 401. The contact piece 401 is elastic and extends laterally. The opening 101 extends vertically and the contact piece 401 abuts against the inner wall of the opening 101.

[0034] The support member 4 on the straw body 3 contacts the inner wall of the opening 101 through the contact piece 401, so that when the straw body 3 is subjected to pressure, the upper orientation of the straw body 3 can be changed by the deformation of the contact piece 401. The straw body 3 of this utility model does not move in a fixed direction, but can be tilted appropriately. During the process of the cup lid 2 pressing down and closing on the cup body 1, the straw body 3 retracts downward more flexibly and smoothly.

[0035] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown, the cup body 1 and the cup lid 2 are preferably connected by threads in this utility model.

[0036] The thickness of the contact piece 401 gradually decreases in the direction away from the center of the straw body 3.

[0037] This design makes it easier for the contact piece 401 to undergo elastic deformation at locations further away from the center of the straw body 3, resulting in a more reasonable force distribution on the contact piece 401. This also makes the straw body 3 more prone to elastic force when tilted, and easier to return to a vertical position after the external force is removed, thus facilitating its use.

[0038] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the contact piece 401 is arranged in a ring, and the support member 4 is used to block the space between the side wall of the straw body 3 and the inner wall of the opening 101.

[0039] This makes the straw body 3 more evenly stressed in the circumferential direction. During the shrinking process, the straw body 3 can tilt to either side and achieve a flexible shrinking effect, making it more convenient to use. In addition, the support 4 can prevent water vapor in the cup body 1 from escaping, further increasing the functions of heat preservation and freshness preservation.

[0040] The cross-sectional shape and size are the same at all points along the extension direction of the opening 101, and the edge shape of the contact piece 401 is adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the opening 101.

[0041] This further makes the force on the straw body 3 more uniform in the circumferential direction, and also makes it easier to assemble the straw body 3 equipped with the support 4 into the cup body 1, which facilitates assembly and production.

[0042] Preferably, the inner circumferential shape of the opening 101 and the outline shape of the edge of the contact piece 401 are both circular. After the support 4 is assembled on the straw body 3, there is no need to adjust the orientation of the straw body 3 and the support 4. Simply insert the lower end of the straw body 3 into the cup body 1, align the edge of the contact piece 401 and the opening 101, and press the straw body 3 down as a whole so that the support 4 is in the opening 101 to complete the installation of the straw body 3, the support 4 and the cup body 1.

[0043] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the support member 4 includes a cylindrical part 402, and a contact piece 401 is connected to the outer wall of the cylindrical part 402. The cylindrical part 402 is sleeved on the upper part of the straw body 3.

[0044] This results in a larger contact area between the support member 4 and the straw body 3, and a tighter and more secure assembly between the support member 4 and the straw body 3.

[0045] The cylindrical part 402 is elastic, and the cylindrical part 402 and the contact piece 401 are integrally formed.

[0046] This makes it easier to manufacture the support member 4. Moreover, since the straw body 3 is not subjected to the pressure of the cup lid 2, the contact piece 401 is more likely to maintain a lateral outward extension state compared to the cylindrical part 402, so that the contact piece 401 can provide more elasticity.

[0047] The preferred support component 4 is made entirely of elastic silicone material.

[0048] In the vertical direction, the contact piece 401 is connected to the middle of the cylindrical part 402.

[0049] This reduces the deformation of the cylindrical part 402 caused by the contact piece 401 when it undergoes elastic deformation, preventing the edge of the cylindrical part 402 from lifting up and causing a decrease in the tightness of the connection between the cylindrical part 402 and the straw body 3.

[0050] The straw body 3 includes a first tube body 301 and a second tube body 302. The first tube body 301 is made of rigid material, and the second tube body 302 is made of elastic material. A limiting step 303 is provided on the inner wall of the second tube body 302. The bottom end of the first tube body 301 extends into the upper opening of the second tube body 302 and abuts against the limiting step 303.

[0051] When the straw body 3 is subjected to pressure from the cup lid 2, the second tube body 302 bends elastically and abuts against the bottom inner wall of the cup body 1. After the cup lid 2 is opened from the cup body 1, the second tube body 302 drives the first tube body 301 to move upward, and the upper end of the first tube body 301 extends upward to facilitate drinking for the user.

[0052] When assembling this utility model, the bottom end of the first tube 301 is first inserted into the upper opening of the second tube 302 and abuts against the limiting step 303 to form a straw body 3, and the cylindrical part 402 of the support member 4 is sleeved on the first tube 301; then, the lower end of the straw body 3 is inserted into the cup body 1, and the support member 4 is placed in the opening 101; finally, the cup lid 2 is closed on the cup body 1.

[0053] When the cup body 1 of this utility model presses down on the top of the first tube 301, the orientation of the first tube 301 can be changed by the deformation of the contact piece 401, making the retraction of the straw body 3 more flexible and smooth.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
