Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food packaging technology, and relates to a food packaging cup, specifically a food packaging cup liner with a spoon and the food packaging cup itself. Background Technology

[0002] Food packaging cups typically consist of a cup body and a lid attached to the top of the cup opening. Most commercially available cup-packaged ice cream, freshly made yogurt, and other similar products use this type of packaging cup.

[0003] To facilitate use, most packaging manufacturers will attach a spoon to the cup, usually attached to the lid. There are two ways the spoon is attached to the lid: one is that the spoon is clipped to the outer wall of the top of the lid, which poses a risk of the spoon falling off and being lost during transportation; the other is that the spoon is clipped to the inner wall of the top of the lid, which makes it easy for the contents of the cup to get on the spoon during movement, causing inconvenience.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to design a food packaging cup that is safe, reliable, easy to use, and easy to process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a food packaging cup liner with a spoon that is safe and reliable to install, easy to use and easy to process.

[0006] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A food packaging cup liner with a spoon, characterized in that: it includes a spoon and a liner, the liner including a circular groove-shaped liner body, a liner rim that is horizontally folded outward at the upper end of the liner body, and a limiting protrusion that rises into the groove at the bottom of the liner body; the spoon has a structure with a limiting hole on the spoon handle; the spoon is connected to the liner by the limiting protrusion being snapped onto the limiting hole.

[0008] Moreover, the limiting protrusion is a hollow structure, which is integrally formed with the inner lining.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting protrusion includes a fitting part and a locking part formed at the lower end of the fitting part. The fitting part is a large frustum-shaped structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the locking part is a small frustum-shaped structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, a cross-shaped tangent is provided in the center of the groove bottom of the liner, and the cutting length of the cross-shaped tangent in both the horizontal and vertical directions is greater than the width of the spoon head.

[0011] A food packaging cup includes a cup body and a cup lid fastened to the cup body, characterized in that: it also includes a spoon and an inner liner, wherein the inner liner overlaps the upper edge of the cup body through a liner edge thereon, the liner body is embedded in the cup body, and a spoon is fastened to the inner liner.

[0012] The advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This food packaging cup with a spoon liner and the food packaging cup are simple to assemble. After the spoon and liner are assembled, they can be placed directly on the cup body. The operation is simple and convenient, and the assembly efficiency is greatly improved. In addition to serving to install the spoon, the liner also serves to isolate the spoon from the contents of the cup, avoiding contamination of the spoon and making it convenient to use.

[0014] 2. The inner liner of the food packaging cup with a spoon and the food packaging cup are designed with the limiting protrusion integrally formed with the liner. This facilitates molding and allows the limiting protrusion to be deformed to engage with the limiting hole on the spoon. The deformed edges after being squeezed can further limit the spoon and prevent it from coming off the limiting protrusion.

[0015] 3. The inner liner of this food packaging cup with a spoon and the food packaging cup have a cross-shaped tangent on the inner liner, which makes it easy to insert the spoon into the tangent and remove the inner liner, avoiding the problem of the inner liner sticking to the cup body due to moisture and being inconvenient to remove.

[0016] 4. This utility model has a scientific and reasonable design, and has the advantages of safe and reliable installation, convenient assembly, easy use and easy processing. It is a highly innovative food packaging cup liner with a spoon and a food packaging cup. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0024] An innovative feature of a food packaging cup liner with a spoon is that it includes a spoon 8 and a liner 1. Since most packaging cups are circular, the liner in this embodiment includes a circular groove-shaped liner 6 adapted to the cup shape. A horizontally folded rim 4 is provided at the upper end of the liner, and a limiting protrusion 5 protruding inward from the groove is provided at the bottom of the liner. For easy deformation, the limiting protrusion is hollow and integrally formed with the liner. To facilitate spoon insertion, the limiting protrusion includes a fitting part and a locking part at the lower end of the fitting part. The fitting part has a longitudinal section that is a large frustum-shaped structure, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, while the locking part has a longitudinal section that is a small frustum-shaped structure, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The cross-section of the limiting protrusion can be circular, square, or rectangular. The liner is made of injection-molded plastic.

[0025] The spoon has a structure with a limiting hole 11 on the handle 10; the spoon is connected to the inner liner by the limiting protrusion being snapped into the limiting hole.

[0026] After the packaging cup is filled with contents, such as ice cream, temperature changes will release moisture. This moisture can cause the liner's edge to stick to the cup body, making it difficult to remove. Therefore, this invention features a cross-shaped tangent 7 in the center of the groove bottom of the liner, allowing a spoon to be inserted into the tangent and the liner removed. The horizontal and vertical cutting lengths of this cross-shaped tangent are both greater than the width of the spoon head 9, facilitating insertion of the spoon from all directions along the tangent.

[0027] When the liner is assembled onto a food packaging cup, the liner overlaps the upper edge of the cup body through its liner edge. At this time, the liner body is embedded in the cup body, and a spoon is attached to the liner. Finally, the cup lid is attached to the cup body.

[0028] This packaged cup does not require any modification to the existing cup body 2 and lid 3 structure. It only requires adding a liner with a spoon to the original packaged cup, which can meet the needs of consumers and make use of the existing packaged cup products, saving production costs.

[0029] Although embodiments and drawings of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will understand that various substitutions, variations and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments and drawings.
