[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a disposable cup storage device includes a storage box 1. A mounting base 2 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the storage box 1. The mounting base 2 is fixed to a wall or other hanging structure by bolts. A protective cover is provided on the top of the storage box 1 to prevent dust and other impurities from falling in. A handle is provided on the top of the protective cover for easy pulling. The storage box 1 has a storage slot 17 for storage. A disposable cup 18 is placed inside the storage slot 17. The disposable cup 18 is slidably connected to the inside of the storage slot 17. A transmission slot 4 is provided inside the storage box 1. The inside of the transmission slot 4 communicates with the inside of the storage slot 17. A power adjustment device is provided inside the transmission slot 4.
[0024] Please refer to Figure 3 The power adjustment device includes a transmission rod 9, which is slidably connected to the inside of the transmission groove 4. There are two transmission rods 9. A threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected inside the transmission groove 4. The surface of the threaded rod 8 is provided with two opposite threads. The surface of the threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inside of the two transmission rods 9. The two transmission rods 9 are set on two opposite threads. The left side of the threaded rod 8 rotates through the storage box 1 and extends to the outside of the storage box 1. By rotating the threaded rod 8 in both directions, the threaded rod 8 can drive the two transmission rods 9 to move relative to each other or in opposite directions.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 3 A movable block 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission rod 9, and a support column 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 5.
[0026] Torque springs 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support column 10. A second baffle 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the torsion spring 11 away from the support column 10. The second baffle 12 is provided with a rubber layer for preventing scratches. By rotating the second baffle 12, the torsion spring 11 can be twisted and reset.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 4 The moving block 5 has a power groove 13 inside, and a first baffle 6 is slidably connected inside the power groove 13. The first baffle 6 is also provided with a rubber layer. The distance between the first baffle 6 and the second baffle 12 is smaller than the distance between the stacked disposable cups 18.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 4 A spring 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the first baffle 6 near the power groove 13. The end of the spring 14 away from the first baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the power groove 13. By moving the first baffle 6, the spring 14 can be compressed and reset.
[0029] The user pulls down the bottom disposable cup 18, which puts force on the first baffle 6 and compresses the spring 14. The second baffle 12 rotates downward and forces the torsion spring 11 to twist. The stacked disposable cups 18 slide downward as a whole. After the bottom disposable cup 18 is removed, the spring 14 and the torsion spring 11 reset and clamp the stacked disposable cups 18 again.
[0030] The operator rotates the threaded rod 8 in both directions, which drives two transmission rods 9 to move. The two transmission rods then drive two moving blocks 5 to move, and the two moving blocks 5 drive two first baffles 6 to move. Simultaneously, the support column 10 drives two second baffles 12 to move. By moving the two first baffles 6 and the two second baffles 12, the distance between them can be adjusted, making it easier for the operator to place disposable cups 18 of different sizes into the storage slot 17 for storage. Adjusting the distance between the two first baffles 6 and the two second baffles 12 allows for a wider clamping range, accommodating disposable cups 18 of different sizes. This avoids the need to replace the storage box 1 due to different cup sizes, reducing usage costs. It also effectively reduces the possibility of squeezing and deforming paper or plastic cups, extending the lifespan of the cups.
[0031] The storage box 1 has multiple limiting grooves 19 inside, and a limiting rod 16 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 19. A protective shell 3 for protection is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting rod 16. A handle for easy pulling is provided on the surface of the protective shell 3, and a groove 15 for storage is provided on the top of the protective shell 3.
[0032] A tension spring 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting rod 16. The top of the tension spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 19. By sliding the limiting rod 16 up and down, the tension spring 7 can be stretched and reset.
[0033] The user pulls down the handle on the protective shell 3, causing it to slide downwards. This causes the limiting rod 16 to slide downwards, stretching the tension spring 7 and exposing the disposable cup 18 at the bottom. This allows the user to easily remove the disposable cup 18. The user then releases the handle, causing the tension spring 7 to return to its original position. The limiting rod 16 is then forced to return the protective shell 3 to its original position, and the disposable cup 18 is stored in the groove 15. The bottom of the storage groove 17 is sealed, which effectively reduces the entry of dust, dirt, and airborne impurities into the storage groove and prevents them from adhering to the disposable cup 18 and contaminating it, thus affecting the user's health. It also effectively reduces the risk of damage to the cup due to tilting or collisions and appropriately extends its storage time.
[0034] Working principle: The operator opens the protective cover by pulling the handle on the cover, then places the stacked disposable cups 18 into the storage slot 17, and resets the protective cover. Then, based on the diameter of the disposable cups 18, the operator rotates the threaded rod 8, which drives two transmission rods 9 to slide. The two transmission rods 9 drive two moving blocks 5 to slide, and the moving blocks 5 drive the first baffle 6 to slide. The second baffle 12 slides synchronously through the support column, which can clamp the disposable cups. The user can then pull down the protective shell 3 to expose the disposable cups 18 at the bottom, making it easy to remove them. Then, the protective shell 3 is released, and it resets, storing and protecting the disposable cups 18.
