Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cup technology, and in particular to a dual-purpose straw cup. Background Technology
[0002] With growing environmental awareness, most people carry insulated cups or travel mugs to hold beverages, reducing the use of plastic or paper cups. Existing eco-friendly cups mainly include two types: direct-drinking and straw-type. Please refer to the "Portable Beverage Container" (TWI702172B) announced in Taiwan, which is a common direct-drinking cup. It mainly consists of a cylindrical outer shell and a lid with a spout. The lid is connected to a resiliently sealed flip-top. This flip-top has a dome that extends into the spout, and the recess around the dome surrounds the lip of the spout to achieve a tight seal.
[0003] Furthermore, please refer to the "Straw Cup" with Taiwan Publication No. TWM642617U. It mainly includes a cup body and a cup lid. The cup lid is connected to the shoulder of the cup body to close its opening. The cup lid includes a central hole and has an elastic membrane at the bottom. The straw cup also includes a straw connected to the membrane and extending into the cup body, so that the straw can move around the membrane to facilitate sucking up beverages or solids in the cup. The straw cup also includes a spout cap connected to the cup lid to cover the part of the straw exposed outside the cup lid.
[0004] As can be seen from the above-mentioned "portable beverage containers" and "straw cups", existing environmentally friendly cups only have a single function of direct drinking or straw drinking. Therefore, consumers can only choose to purchase one of the two types of cups. If consumers want to have cups with both direct drinking and straw drinking functions, they must purchase two types of cups. This not only increases the cost of purchasing cups for consumers, but also takes up a lot of space in terms of placement and carrying, thus lacking convenience in use.
[0005] Therefore, in view of the aforementioned shortcomings in the use and implementation of existing cups, the inventor of this case, with the assistance of his many years of manufacturing and design experience and knowledge in related fields, and through various ingenious ideas, created this utility model. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model relates to a dual-purpose straw cup, the main purpose of which is to provide a structural design that combines direct drinking and straw drinking, and can switch between direct drinking and straw drinking modes according to the needs of use, thereby achieving the convenience of drinking.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a dual-purpose straw cup is provided, comprising:
[0008] A cup body with a receiving space inside the cup body, and a cup opening at the upper end of the cup body, which communicates with the receiving space;
[0009] A cup lid includes a lid body that is fitted onto the rim of a cup. The lid body has a first end face and a second end face that are opposite each other. A through hole is provided at the center of the lid body, and a drinking spout is provided on one side of the lid body. The cup lid also includes a rotating lid plate that is disposed on the first end face of the lid body. The bottom end of the rotating lid plate has a first connecting part that passes through the through hole of the lid body. A covering part extends from one side of the rotating lid plate and can rotate with the rotating lid plate to cover or not cover the drinking spout of the lid body. The cup lid also includes a driven plate that is located below the lid body. The driven plate has a second connecting part that engages with the first connecting part of the rotating lid plate. A blocking part extends from one side of the driven plate. The second end face of the lid body is formed with an assembly part that extends along the outer periphery of the drinking spout.
[0010] A connector is provided below the lid body of the cup lid. The connector has a cavity and the cavity opening is formed at the upper end of the connector to be sleeved with the assembly part provided on the second end face of the lid body. A sleeve is connected to one side of the bottom end of the connector. The sleeve hole communicates with the cavity. A through hole is provided at the bottom end of the connector next to the sleeve. The through hole communicates with the cavity and corresponds to the drinking spout of the lid body. The blocking part of the driven plate can rotate with the rotating lid plate to block or not block the through hole of the connector.
[0011] A straw is disposed in the accommodating space of the cup body, and the upper end of the straw is sleeved with the hole of the sleeve of the connector.
[0012] As described above, in the dual-purpose straw cup, a sealing ring is fitted over the through hole of the cup lid, and the sealing ring has an annular hole. The first joint of the rotating cover plate passes through the annular hole of the sealing ring.
[0013] In the dual-purpose straw cup described above, the first connecting part of the rotating cover is a polygonal shaft, and the second connecting part of the driven plate is a polygonal shaft hole, which is correspondingly connected to the first connecting part of the polygonal shaft.
[0014] As described above, in the dual-purpose straw cup, the first end face of the lid body is provided with a first mark and a second mark next to the through hole. The first mark and the second mark are set at a 90-degree angle, and the second mark is located at the opposite position of the drinking opening.
[0015] As described above, in the dual-purpose straw cup, the second end face of the lid body of the cup lid is provided with a first limiting part located beside the assembly part. The first limiting part corresponds to the position of the drinking spout and is used to block the covering part that can rotate with the rotating lid.
[0016] As described above, in the dual-purpose straw cup, the second end face of the lid body of the cup lid is provided with a second limiting part at the position opposite to the drinking opening. The second limiting part is used to block the covering part that can rotate with the rotating lid plate.
[0017] Therefore, when in use, push the rotating lid to rotate so that its covering part is removed from the drinking opening on one side of the lid body. When the rotating lid rotates, the driven plate located below the lid body also rotates synchronously to move away from the through hole of the connector. Then, the cup can be tilted so that the beverage in the cup can be poured directly from the through hole of the connector through the drinking opening of the lid body, achieving a direct drinking effect. Furthermore, when you want to drink the beverage in the cup with a straw, push the rotating lid and the driven plate to rotate so that the driven plate covers the through hole of the connector. At this time, you can drink from the straw through the tube hole of the connector and the drinking opening of the lid body, achieving a straw drinking effect. Attached Figure Description
