Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ice cream cup technology, specifically relating to an ice cream cup with a built-in spoon. Background Technology
[0002] An ice cream cup is a specialized container for holding ice cream, typically made of glass, ceramic, plastic, or metal. Its design combines functionality and aesthetics, with common shapes including round, oval, or creatively unique designs. Some cups feature handles or bases to enhance grip. The capacity is usually 100-300 ml, and the surface is often decorated with stripes, polka dots, or cartoon patterns. Some high-end products use gold-plated edging and other finishes. Functionally, they can be categorized into three types: disposable eco-friendly paper cups, household dessert cups, and professional display cups for shops. They possess heat and moisture insulation properties, and some have double-walled designs to slow melting.
[0003] Ice cream cups typically come with a fixed or folding spoon design, but the existing spoon heads are all of a single shape and cannot be adapted to the different textures of ice cream. For example, hard ice cream requires a spoon head with stronger scooping force, while soft ice cream requires a thinner spoon surface to reduce sticking. The current limitations of general-purpose spoons in terms of functionality make it difficult for users to efficiently scoop ice cream of different textures, affecting the user experience.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. Example
[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an ice cream cup with a built-in spoon, comprising:
[0026] The storage mechanism 100 includes an ice cream box 110, a cover 120 snapped onto the top of the ice cream box 110, a partition 130 fixedly installed inside the ice cream box 110, a spoon handle 140 disposed on one side of the partition 130, and two spoon heads 150 used in conjunction with the spoon handle 140.
[0027] The switching mechanism 200 includes a fixing component 210 for supporting and limiting the spoon handle 140, and an mounting component 220 for positioning and installing the two spoon heads 150.
[0028] The cooperation between the fixing component 210 and the mounting component 220 allows the spoon handle 140 to flexibly connect with two different spoon heads 150, solving the problem that traditional ice cream cup spoons cannot be adapted to different types of ice cream due to the fixed spoon head. The spoon type can be switched according to the texture of the ice cream, such as hard or soft, thus improving the applicability and efficiency of the spoon.
[0029] Specifically, the fixing component 210 includes a fixing block 211 fixedly installed inside the ice cream box 110, a slot 212 opened on the top of the fixing block 211, and a connecting block 213 fixedly installed on the bottom of the spoon handle 140 and engaged inside the slot 212.
[0030] When the docking block 213 is inserted into the fixed block 211, the snap-fit protrusion 214 snaps into the first snap-fit groove 215 to limit the spoon handle 140, improve the stability of the spoon handle 140, and prevent it from shifting and causing inconvenience in picking it up.
[0031] Furthermore, the fixing component 210 also includes two snap-fit protrusions 214 fixedly mounted on the surface of the mating block 213, and two first snap-fit grooves 215 opened inside the slot 212 and used in conjunction with the snap-fit protrusions 214.
[0032] Preferably, the top of the partition 130 has an opening for easy access to the spoon handle 140, and the surface of the spoon handle 140 and the opening are provided with anti-slip strips.
[0033] Furthermore, the mounting component 220 includes a mounting block 221 fixedly mounted inside the ice cream container 110, a placement slot 222 formed on the top of the mounting block 221 for placing the spoon head 150, and a protrusion 223 fixedly mounted on the top of the spoon head 150 for connecting with the spoon handle 140.
[0034] It should be noted that the two scoops 150 are of different types, one is a scooping scoop and the other is a flat scoop, to be used for different types of ice cream. The scoops 150 are stored by the cooperation between the mounting block 221 and the placement slot 222, to prevent the scoops 150 from shifting and affecting the connection between the scoop handle 140 and the scoops 150.
[0035] Specifically, the top of the protrusion 223 is provided with a mating groove 224, and the inside of the mating groove 224 is provided with a second snap-fit groove 225 that engages with the mating protrusion 214.
[0036] Furthermore, the internal dimensions of the slot 212 and the mating groove 224 are the same, and the dimensions of the mating block 213 are adapted to the dimensions of the slot 212 and the mating groove 224 respectively.
[0037] When using different spoon heads 150, insert the mating block 213 on the spoon handle 140 into the mating groove 224 on the spoon head 150 to be used. After the mating block 213 is fully inserted, the snap-fit protrusion 214 snaps into the second snap-fit groove 225, completing the mating of the spoon handle 140 and the spoon head 150. It can then be taken out and used, making it convenient to use different types of spoon heads 150.
[0038] In summary, through the cooperation between the fixing component 210 and the mounting component 220, the spoon handle 140 can flexibly connect with two different spoon heads 150, solving the problem that the traditional ice cream cup built-in spoon cannot be adapted to different types of ice cream due to the fixed spoon head. The spoon type can be switched according to the texture of the ice cream, such as hard or soft, thus improving the applicability and efficiency of the spoon.
