Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic cup technology, specifically a stackable plastic cup. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic cups are containers used to hold beverages and tea. They are made of non-degradable plastic materials and are widely used in beverage shops, hot and cold drink shops, milk tea shops, hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops to provide various takeaway drinks and on-site use. PC material, due to its high heat resistance, high strength, and impact resistance, is used to manufacture containers such as water cups and baby bottles.

[0003] In daily life, we need to use plastic cups to drink beverages, but current plastic cups are not easy to stack. Traditional plastic cups are mostly stacked directly, and there is no interlocking mechanism between the plastic cups, which makes it very easy for the plastic cups to separate. When subjected to external force, the plastic cups are easy to separate.

[0004] Therefore, plastic cups need to be redesigned to make them easier to stack. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a stackable plastic cup that is easy to stack. This solves the problem that traditional plastic cups are mostly directly stacked, and there is no locking mechanism between the plastic cups, which makes it very easy for the plastic cups to separate. When subjected to external force, the plastic cups are easily separated.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a stackable plastic cup, comprising a thick cup body, a circular through hole at the bottom of the thick cup body, a thin cup body fixedly connected to the bottom of the thick cup body, a circular ring block fixedly connected to the bottom of the thin cup body, semi-circular locking holes at the left and right sides of the circular ring block, locking blocks for cooperating with the semi-circular locking holes fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the thin cup body, locking grooves at the inner sides of the locking blocks, elastic sheets fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the semi-circular locking holes, and protrusions for cooperating with the locking grooves fixedly connected to the outer sides of the elastic sheets.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the top of the thick cup body is fixedly connected to a cup rim, and the surface of the cup rim is provided with rounded corners.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, both the coarse and fine cup bodies are provided with anti-slip textures, and the anti-slip textures are rhomboid in shape.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring block, and the anti-slip pad is made of rubber.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the coarse cup body and the fine cup body are integrally injection molded.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the elastic sheet is made of stainless steel.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the ring block is made of hard plastic.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model first aligns two plastic cups vertically, so that the thinner cup body on top is inserted into the thicker cup body on the bottom. Then, press and twist the thicker cup body so that the locking block is inserted into the semi-circular locking hole. Stop pressing and continue to rotate the thicker cup body until the locking block squeezes the protrusion and inserts it into the locking groove. At this point, the plastic cups can be stacked. Repeat the above operation steps to continue stacking, thereby achieving the effect of easy stacking.

[0015] 2. By setting rounded corners, the cup rim of this invention can increase its smoothness and prevent the lips from being hurt by the cup rim. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a stackable plastic cup, including a thick cup body 1, a circular through hole at the bottom of the thick cup body 1, a thin cup body 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the thick cup body 1, a circular ring block 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the thin cup body 2, a semi-circular locking hole 4 on both the left and right sides of the circular ring block 3, a locking block 5 for cooperating with the semi-circular locking hole 4 fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the thin cup body 2, a locking groove 6 on the inner side of the locking block 5, an elastic sheet 7 fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the semi-circular locking hole 4, and a protrusion 8 for cooperating with the locking groove 6 fixedly connected to the outer side of the elastic sheet 7.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 The top of the thick cup body 1 is fixedly connected to the cup rim 9, and the surface of the cup rim 9 is provided with rounded corners.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the cup rim 9 with rounded corners, the smoothness of the cup rim 9 can be increased, preventing the lips from being hurt by the cup rim 9.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 Both the coarse cup body 1 and the thin cup body 2 have anti-slip textures 10 on their surfaces, and the anti-slip textures 10 are diamond-shaped.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting anti-slip texture 10, the friction between the user's hands and the thick cup body 1 and the thin cup body 2 can be increased, preventing the thick cup body 1 and the thin cup body 2 from slipping out of the hand during use.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 The bottom of the circular block 3 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad 11, which is made of rubber.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the anti-slip pad 11, the friction between the ring block 3 and the plane can be increased, preventing the ring block 3 from slipping during use.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 The coarse cup body 1 and the fine cup body 2 are integrally injection molded.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up an integrally injection-molded coarse cup body 1 and a fine cup body 2, the coarse cup body 1 and the fine cup body 2 can be connected more tightly, preventing the coarse cup body 1 and the fine cup body 2 from separating during use.

[0032] refer to Figure 4 The elastic sheet 7 is made of stainless steel.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting an elastic sheet 7 made of stainless steel, the strength can be increased while its rust resistance can be increased, preventing the elastic sheet 7 from being damaged due to rust.

[0034] refer to Figure 4 The material of the circular block 3 is hard plastic.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a ring block 3 made of hard plastic material, the strength of the ring block 3 can be increased, making the ring block 3 less prone to damage.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, align the two plastic cups vertically. Then, move the upper thicker cup 1 and the thinner cup 2 downwards, so that the upper thinner cup 2 is inserted into the lower thicker cup 1. Next, press down and twist the upper thicker cup 1. The upper thicker cup 1 drives the thinner cup 2 and the ring block 3 to rotate, aligning the semi-circular locking hole 4 on the ring block 3 with the locking block 5, and inserting the locking block 5 into the semi-circular locking hole 4. Finally, stop pressing and continue rotating the upper thicker cup 1, allowing the locking block 5 to slide within the semi-circular locking hole 4 until the locking block 5 presses against the protrusion 8 and engages with the locking groove 6. At this point, the plastic cups can be stacked. Repeating the above steps allows for continued stacking, thus achieving a convenient stacking effect. Reversing the above steps allows for separation between the plastic cups.

[0037] In summary, this stackable plastic cup, by incorporating a thick cup body 1, a thin cup body 2, a circular block 3, a semi-circular locking hole 4, a locking block 5, a locking groove 6, an elastic sheet 7, and a protrusion 8, solves the problem that traditional plastic cups are mostly directly stacked, lacking a locking mechanism between the cups, which makes them very easy to separate. When subjected to external force, the cups are easily separated.
