Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water container technology, and in particular to a portable cup. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese patent CN220236307U discloses a portable mug, which includes a mug body, a mug lid, and a mug strap. The mug lid and the mug body are interlocked, and a sealing strip is provided at the connection between the mug lid and the mug body. A hanging ring for connecting the mug strap is fixedly provided on the mug body.

[0003] The aforementioned cup strap structure improves the portability of the portable cup. When carrying the portable cup, people no longer need to hold the cup body with their hands all the time; they can simply carry the cup strap or wear it on their back. However, when the portable cup is put down, the cup strap will scatter around the cup body, which looks messy. Furthermore, when people pick up the portable cup, the cup strap may interfere with hand movements, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing portable mugs, such as the straps easily scattering around the mug and potentially interfering with hand movements when people pick up the mug, the purpose of this invention is to provide a portable mug with a strap that is easy to store and carry.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A portable mug includes a mug body and a lid. The mug body has a strap component and a pair of mounting petals. The two ends of the strap component are respectively connected to a mounting petal. The mounting petals can rotate and slide along the circumference of the mug body to move closer to or further away from each other. The strap component can be flipped vertically or horizontally by the rotation of the mounting petals. When the strap component is horizontal, the strap component expands as the mounting petals move further away from each other to their furthest point. The strap component contracts to fit the mug body as the mounting petals move closer to each other to their closest point. When the mounting petals are at their furthest point, the strap component flips vertically upwards.

[0007] Using the above scheme, assuming there is an arc distributed circumferentially along the outer wall of the cup body between the two mounting petals, with the two ends of the arc connecting the mounting petals, when the mounting petals are closest, the arc is close to a full circle; when the mounting petals are farthest apart, they must be located on opposite sides of the cup body, so the arc is a semicircle. Regardless of how the mounting petals slide, the radius distance between the mounting petal and the center of the cup body remains constant. Therefore, as the mounting petals move away from each other, the arc length continuously shortens. In this scheme, when the cup strap component is horizontal and the mounting petals are farthest apart, the cup strap component has a similar shape to the aforementioned arc. However, the cup strap component, as a solid entity, has a different length. The cup strap component will not change as the mounting petals move away from each other. When the mounting petals move to their furthest point, a gap appears between the cup strap component and the cup body. At this point, the cup strap component can be flipped upwards, and the expanded height of the cup strap component will exceed that of the cup lid, allowing people to carry the cup. When people put down the cup, they only need to flip the cup strap component to a horizontal position and then move the mounting petals closer together. The cup strap component will gradually retract and adhere to the outer wall of the cup. In this state, the cup looks neater, the cup strap component will not be scattered around the cup body and will not appear messy, and it will not hinder people from using the cup.

[0008] Preferably, the cup strap component is made of a flexible material or a combination of a flexible material and a material with elastic deformation capability.

[0009] Using the above solution, the flexible material can be referenced to nylon yarn. Nylon yarn can be woven into a flexible strip, which is easy to achieve and has low production difficulty. The combination of flexible material and material with elastic deformation capability can refer to the following method: the middle part of the cup strap component is a silicone handle structure. The two ends of the handle structure are connected to the mounting flap by flexible strips woven from nylon yarn. When the cup strap component is in a vertical state, the handle structure can give the cup a better three-dimensional feel. When the cup strap component is stored horizontally, it can be used as a non-slip sleeve. When the hand holds the cup body and the cup strap part, the high friction between the silicone material and the hand can play a certain role in preventing slippage.

[0010] Preferably, a movable mechanism is provided between the cup body and the mounting petal for the mounting petal to slide circumferentially along the cup body and rotate vertically.

[0011] Preferably, the active mechanism is provided in a set, in which one mounting petal is connected to the cup body through the active mechanism, and the other mounting petal is rotatably mounted on the cup body.

[0012] Using the above scheme, only one movable mounting flap is set, which means that people only need to move one mounting flap to achieve adjustment, making it more convenient to operate.

[0013] Preferably, the active mechanism includes a sliding groove circumferentially opened on the outer ring wall of the cup body, a sliding saddle slidably disposed in the sliding groove, an mounting petal rotatably disposed on the sliding saddle, and a limiting component for restricting the movement of the sliding saddle when the two mounting petals are at their farthest or closest distances.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting component includes elastic members that are elastically telescopically disposed near both ends of the sliding groove, and a limiting groove is formed on the sliding saddle for the elastic members to engage and restrict the movement of the sliding saddle when the sliding saddle moves to the elastic members.

[0015] By adopting the above scheme, when the mounting petals are closest or furthest apart, the movement of the mounting petals is restricted by the cooperation of the elastic element and the limiting groove. This cooperation method makes the connection of the cup belt component more stable in the vertical state and less prone to slippage, and less prone to falling apart in the horizontal storage state, thus enhancing the stability between the various components.

[0016] Preferably, the mounting petal is connected to the cup body and the movable mechanism by fasteners. When the fasteners are tightened, a gap is left between the large end of the fastener and the mounting petal for the mounting petal to rotate.

[0017] Preferably, a damping component is provided between the fastener and the mounting flap to increase the rotational resistance of the mounting flap. The damping component includes a damping pad sleeved on the fastener and whose two end faces respectively abut against the large end of the fastener and the mounting flap.

[0018] In the above solution, the fastener is equivalent to a pivot. The gap between the fastener and the mounting piece is to prevent the mounting piece from being pressed against the cup or saddle when the fastener is tightened. However, if the gap is too large, the mounting piece will move along the fastener. Therefore, this solution uses a damping pad to fill the gap. This serves two purposes: first, to prevent the mounting piece from moving, and second, to increase the friction when the mounting piece rotates, thereby increasing the rotational resistance and keeping the mounting piece vertical or horizontal without relying on external force. The damping pad can be a nylon pad or a felt pad.

[0019] Preferably, the outer ring wall of the cup has an installation notch with a connecting sliding groove, and a filling block for filling the installation notch is fixed on the installation notch.

[0020] Using the above solution, since the cup body in this solution needs to have a groove structure on the outer wall, it is difficult to demold directly by injection molding. It is necessary to first injection mold a cylindrical cup body, and then cut the groove on the outside of the cup body by machining. Therefore, the purpose of the installation notch in this solution is to facilitate the entry and exit of the machining tool. In the subsequent assembly process of the portable cup, the sliding saddle can also be installed into the guide groove from the installation notch, and then the filler block is fixed on the installation notch to prevent the sliding saddle from falling off. The connection method between the filler block and the installation notch can be glue bonding or high temperature welding.

[0021] Preferably, the outer circumferential wall of the cup body is provided with a groove for the cup strap component to be partially embedded when it is in contact with the cup body.

[0022] Using the above solution, the groove in this solution can clearly define the optimal storage position of the cup strap component, and when the cup strap component is embedded in the groove, it will not slide or move along the cup strap, resulting in a better storage effect.

[0023] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has significant technical effects: In this solution, as the mounting petals move away from each other, the cup strap component tends to expand. When the mounting petals move to their furthest point, a gap appears between the cup strap component and the cup body. At this time, the cup strap component can be flipped upwards, and the expanded height of the cup strap component will exceed the cup lid, so that people can carry the portable cup. When people put down the portable cup, they only need to flip the cup strap component to the horizontal position, and then move the mounting petals closer together. The cup strap component will gradually shrink and stick to the outer wall of the cup. The portable cup in this state looks neater, the cup strap component will not be scattered around the cup body and will not appear messy, and it will not hinder people from using the portable cup.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] Example

[0036] A portable mug, based on Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the cup includes a cup body 1 and a cup lid 2 that is inserted into the cup body 1. A sealing ring is provided around the outer ring wall of the cup lid 2 to abut against the inner wall of the cup body 1. A straw component 201 is integrally formed on the cup lid 2. A pair of mounting petals 4 are provided on the outer ring wall of the cup body 1. A cup strap component 3 is connected between the mounting petals 4. The above structure is the prior art and does not represent the main improvement point of this embodiment. It will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0037] The improvement of this embodiment is that the mounting petals 4 can rotate and slide along the circumference of the cup body 1 to move closer or further apart. The cup strap component 3 can be flipped vertically or horizontally using the rotation of the mounting petals 4, according to... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, when the cup strap component 3 is horizontal, the cup strap component 3 expands as the mounting petals 4 move away from each other to their furthest point, and contracts to fit against the cup body 1 as the mounting petals 4 move closer to each other to their closest point. When the mounting petals 4 are at their furthest point, the cup strap component 3 flips vertically upwards. The outer ring wall of the cup body 1 is circumferentially recessed with a groove 13 for partial embedding of the cup strap component 3 when it fits against the cup body 1.

[0038] A movable mechanism is provided between the mounting petal 4 and the cup body 1. The sliding and vertical rotation of the mounting petal 4 along the circumference of the cup body 1 are achieved by the movable mechanism. Figure 2 , 4As shown in Figure 6, the movable mechanism includes a sliding groove 5 circumferentially opened on the outer ring wall of the cup body 1, and a sliding saddle 6 slidably disposed in the sliding groove 5. In this embodiment, an installation notch 11 communicating with the sliding groove 5 is opened on the outer ring wall of the cup body 1. A filling block 12 for filling the installation notch 11 is fixed on the installation notch 11. The filling block 12 and the installation notch 11 are glued and fixed together. The mounting petal 4 is connected to the sliding saddle 6 by a fastener 9. In this embodiment, the fastener 9 is a bolt. A first threaded hole 14 for the fastener 9 to be screwed and fixed is opened on the sliding saddle 6. The mounting petal 4 passes through the fastener 9 and rotates around the fastener 9. A damping pad 10 is sleeved on the fastener 9 between the large end of the fastener 9 and the mounting petal 4. In this embodiment, the damping pad 10 is made of nylon.

[0039] In this embodiment, only one set of movable mechanisms is provided, in which one mounting petal 4 is connected to the cup body 1 through the movable mechanism, and the other mounting petal 4 is rotatably connected to the cup body 1 through fastener 9. According to... Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fastener 9 is a bolt, and the cup body 1 has a mounting plane 15 for the end face of the mounting petal 4 to abut. The mounting plane 15 has a second threaded hole 16 for the fastener 9 to be screwed and fixed. The mounting petal 4 passes through the fastener 9, and a damping washer 10 is provided between the large end of the fastener 9 and the mounting petal 4. In this embodiment, the damping washer 10 is made of nylon.

[0040] A limiting component is provided between the sliding groove 5 and the sliding saddle 6 to restrict the movement of the sliding saddle 6 when the two mounting petals 4 are at their furthest or closest points. Figure 6 , 8 As shown in Figure 9, the limiting component includes elastic members 7 that are elastically telescopically arranged near both ends of the sliding groove 5. A limiting groove 8 is formed on the sliding saddle 6 to allow the elastic members 7 to be engaged and restrict the movement of the sliding saddle 6 when the sliding saddle 6 moves to the elastic members 7. In this embodiment, the elastic members 7 are spring steel balls. The sliding groove 5 is provided with receiving grooves 701 near both ends for accommodating the elastic members 7.

[0041] Based on the above structure, refer to Figures 1-9 It can be seen that when using a portable cup in this embodiment, the expansion or contraction of the cup strap component 3 can be adjusted by moving the position of the mounting petal 4. When the mounting petal 4 moves to the farthest distance, the cup strap component 3 will expand to the point where there is a gap between it and the cup body 1. At this time, the cup strap component 3 can be flipped upwards, and the height of the cup strap component 3 after expansion will exceed the cup lid 2, so that people can carry the portable cup.

[0042] When people put down the portable cup, they only need to flip the cup strap component 3 to a horizontal position, and then move the mounting flaps 4 closer together. The cup strap component 3 will gradually retract and stick to the outer wall of the cup body 1. In this state, the portable cup looks neater, the cup strap component 3 will not be scattered around the cup body 1 and will not appear messy, and it will not hinder people from using the portable cup.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
