Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, specifically to a multifunctional cup, and more particularly to an inverted suction-type multifunctional cup, which can effectively solve the problems of toothbrush storage and hygiene. Background Technology

[0002] Toothbrushes and cups are used very frequently in daily life; however, traditional toothbrush cup designs have many drawbacks. Traditional toothbrush cups are usually placed with the rim facing upwards, making it easy for water to splash into the cup during washing, leading to water accumulation inside. This watery environment provides a breeding ground for bacteria, which multiply rapidly in the damp environment, contaminating the toothbrush and threatening oral health. Long-term use of a toothbrush contaminated with bacteria may cause various oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis, posing potential risks to health.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional toothbrush cups are not convenient for taking out and putting away toothbrushes. Since the toothbrush is inserted into the cup, you need to reach deep inside to retrieve it, which limits the space and makes it inconvenient. When placing the toothbrush, it must be inserted accurately; otherwise, it easily falls over, creating a cluttered surface. Moreover, traditional cups are functionally limited to holding liquids and cannot meet people's diverse needs for storage and hygiene.

[0004] While some cups on the market have storage functions, most are poorly designed and fail to effectively address issues such as water accumulation, bacterial growth, and inconvenience in retrieving and placing them. For example, some cups, although designed to store toothbrushes, still pose a risk of water accumulation, or the process of retrieving and placing the toothbrush is not smooth enough.

[0005] Studies have shown that compared to traditional upright toothbrush cups, a properly inverted design can reduce the contact surface area by more than 70%, significantly reducing the risk of mold growth (according to the GB19342-2003 toothbrush hygiene standard). Therefore, a new type of multi-functional cup is needed to improve the current situation and meet people's needs for toothbrush storage and hygiene. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a multi-functional cup that can prevent water accumulation and bacterial growth, while facilitating the handling of toothbrushes, improving the convenience and hygiene of use, and also having a reasonable storage function.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model discloses a multifunctional cup, the overall structure of which includes a handle and a cup body defining a top opening. An adsorption device is attached to the bottom wall of the cup body, which is suitable for suspending and adsorbing the cup body on a work surface with the top opening facing downwards.

[0009] The handle portion consists of a flip cover and a base attached to the cup body. The flip cover is attached to the base in a manner that allows it to rotatably switch between a closed position and an open position. Specifically, the base and the cup body are fixedly connected, and the flip cover is pivotally connected to the base via a first pivoting mechanism. The first pivoting mechanism can be specifically configured as follows: a first pivot shaft is provided on the base, and corresponding first pivot holes are provided on the left and right sides of the flip cover. The first pivot holes and the first pivot shaft are pivotally connected to each other, thereby enabling the flip cover to rotate relative to the base.

[0010] When the flip cover is in the closed position, a brush head cavity for storing the toothbrush head is defined between the base and the flip cover, along with a handle passage that communicates with the brush head cavity. When the cup is suspended and magnetically attached, the handle passage is located below the brush head cavity. This layout conforms to the ergonomic principle of vertical movement; in the inverted state, the handle hangs naturally, minimizing the path to access the toothbrush and greatly facilitating its placement and removal.

[0011] Furthermore, a linkage is connected between the flip cover and the base. This linkage includes a first end that is movably transferred to the base, a second end that is movably transferred to the flip cover, and an actuating end adapted to drag the flip cover from the open position to the closed position when pressed by the brush head.

[0012] Furthermore, the first ends are configured as a pair spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the first ends are transferred to the base via a first adapter mechanism. Specifically, the first adapter mechanism may be configured such that the first end has a first adapter shaft pivotally connected to the base, thereby achieving the pivotal connection between the first end and the base. The first adapter mechanism includes a first adapter shaft disposed at the first end and a first adapter hole disposed on the base, the first adapter hole being formed on a first convex shaft protruding outward from the base.

[0013] The second end is also configured as a pair spaced apart in the left-right direction, and is connected to the flip cover via a second adapter mechanism. The second adapter mechanism includes a second adapter hole disposed on the flip cover and a second adapter shaft disposed on the base. The second adapter hole and the second adapter shaft are adapted to each other, and the second adapter hole is configured as an arc-shaped elongated hole. This design allows the second adapter shaft and the second adapter hole to slide relative to each other while rotating during the flipping process, thereby preventing the flip cover from jamming and ensuring smooth flipping rotation.

[0014] When the cup is suspended and adsorbed, the actuation end is located below the first and second ends. When the brush head presses down on the actuation end, the flip cover is driven to close through torque transmission, realizing the "press to automatically close" function.

[0015] The flip cover and the base are connected by a detachable snap-fit ​​mechanism. Specifically, the base has a snap-fit ​​groove at its edge that opens towards the flip cover, and the flip cover has a protrusion that protrudes towards the base. The protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove work together to snap the flip cover and the base together. This design facilitates the opening and closing of the flip cover.

[0016] The adsorption device is a detachable adsorption device, allowing users to choose the appropriate device based on different usage scenarios and needs. Available types include magnetic adsorption devices, suction cup devices, or adhesive bonding devices, increasing the applicability and flexibility of the cup. Preferably, a magnetic adsorption device is used, comprising a magnet embedded in the bottom wall of the cup and a shielding cover for concealing the magnet. The shielding cover is fixed to the bottom wall of the cup and can be integrally formed using ultrasonic welding.

[0017] When the base and flip cover are closed, at least a portion of the outer wall defining the brush head cavity is constructed in a spherical shape. The spherical inner wall contacts the curved surface of the brush head to distribute stress and prevent mechanical jamming caused by localized compression.

[0018] In addition, a first retaining structure is provided between the flip cover and the base to restrict the rotation of the flip cover when it is in the open position. The first retaining structure includes a positioning protrusion on the base and a first groove on the flip cover. The positioning protrusion and the first groove cooperate to keep the flip cover stable when it is in the open position. Simultaneously, a second retaining structure is also provided between the flip cover and the base to restrict the rotation of the flip cover when it is in the closed position. The second retaining structure includes a positioning protrusion on the base and a second groove on the flip cover. The positioning protrusion and the second groove cooperate to keep the flip cover stable when it is in the closed position and prevent the flip cover from being accidentally opened.

[0019] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The brush head is suspended upside down by an adsorption device at the bottom of the cup, allowing residual water to drain naturally by gravity. This effectively prevents water accumulation inside the cup, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth, ensuring the hygiene of the toothbrush, and benefiting people's oral health.

[0021] 2. The linked storage handle design makes it more convenient to take out and put away the toothbrush. Pressing the brush head will automatically close the flip cover, and the handle will hang down naturally when inverted, minimizing the path to access the toothbrush and improving ease of use.

[0022] 3. The brush head cavity formed between the base and the flip cover can store toothbrush heads, making the cup more neat and organized, and also making reasonable use of space, which is especially suitable for places with limited space.

[0023] 4. The arc-shaped long hole pivot mechanism and the spherical cavity adaptation design effectively prevent the flip cover from getting stuck during the flipping process, ensuring smooth rotation of the flip cover and improving the reliability and service life of the product.

[0024] 5. The adsorption device can be a magnetic adsorption device, a suction cup device, or an adhesive device. Users can choose the appropriate adsorption device according to different usage occasions and needs, which increases the applicability and flexibility of the cup.

[0025] In summary, this utility model's multifunctional cup effectively solves the storage and hygiene problems of toothbrushes and cups through its unique inverted adsorption structure, linked storage handle, and anti-jamming mechanical design. It has multiple practical functions and can meet people's usage needs in different occasions. Attached Figure Description

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] Toothbrushes and cups are used very frequently in daily life, but traditional toothbrush cups have many drawbacks, such as water accumulation leading to bacterial growth and inconvenience in taking out and putting away toothbrushes. To solve these problems, this utility model provides a multifunctional cup, and its specific implementation will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the overall structure of the multifunctional cup in this embodiment mainly includes a handle and a cup body 100 defining a top opening 101. An adsorption device 500 is attached to the bottom wall of the cup body 100, which is suitable for suspending the cup body on a work surface with the top opening 101 facing downwards. This inverted suspension design utilizes gravity to allow residual water on the brush head to drain naturally, effectively preventing water accumulation inside the cup, thereby significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth, ensuring toothbrush hygiene, and benefiting oral health.

[0044] The handle consists of a flip cover 300 and a base 200 attached to the cup body 100. The flip cover 300 is attached to the base 200 in a manner that allows it to rotate between a closed position and an open position.

[0045] The base 200 and the cup body 100 are fixedly connected. This fixed connection method ensures the stability between the base 200 and the cup body 100, so that the entire handle structure will not loosen or wobble during use. For example, the base 200 and the cup body 100 can be connected together by integral molding, or by using high-strength adhesive to ensure the firmness of the connection.

[0046] The flip cover 300 is pivotally connected to the base 200 via a first pivoting mechanism. Specifically, a first pivot shaft 202 is provided on the base 200, and corresponding first pivot holes 301 are provided on the left and right sides of the flip cover 300. The first pivot holes 301 and the first pivot shaft 202 are pivotally connected to each other, thereby realizing the rotation of the flip cover 300 relative to the base 200. This pivoting method allows the flip cover 300 to flexibly switch between a closed position and an open position, making it convenient for users to take out and put away the toothbrush.

[0047] When the flip cover 300 is in the closed position, a brush head cavity for storing the toothbrush head is defined between the base 200 and the flip cover 300, and a handle through hole 201 communicating with the brush head cavity. When the cup is suspended and adsorbed, the handle through hole 201 is located below the brush head cavity. This layout conforms to the vertical movement principle in ergonomics; in the inverted state, the handle hangs naturally, minimizing the access path and greatly facilitating the picking up and putting down of the toothbrush.

[0048] When the base 200 and the flip cover 300 are closed, at least a portion of the outer wall defining the brush head cavity is constructed in a spherical shape. The spherical inner wall contacts the curved surface of the brush head to distribute stress and prevent mechanical jamming caused by localized compression. This design not only protects the toothbrush head from damage but also ensures the stability of the toothbrush head within the cavity, preventing it from shaking or falling out during handling.

[0049] The design of the handle through-hole 201 allows the toothbrush handle to pass through, making it convenient for users to hold the toothbrush. At the same time, the handle through-hole 201 connects to the brush head cavity, ensuring the toothbrush's integrity and stability when stored. In the inverted position, the handle hangs naturally, allowing users to directly grasp the handle through the handle through-hole 201 and easily remove the toothbrush without any additional steps, thus improving ease of use.

[0050] A linkage 400 is also connected between the flip cover 300 and the base 200. The linkage 400 includes a first end 401 that is movably transferred to the base 200, a second end 402 that is movably transferred to the flip cover 300, and an actuating end 403 that is adapted to drag the flip cover 300 from the open position to the closed position when pressed by the brush head.

[0051] The first ends 401 are configured as a pair spaced apart in the left-right direction, and are connected to the base 200 via a first adapter mechanism. Specifically, the first end 401 has a first adapter shaft 401a pivotally connected to the base 200, realizing the pivotal connection between the first end 401 and the base 200. The first adapter mechanism includes the first adapter shaft 401a disposed on the first end 401 and a first adapter hole 401a disposed on the base 200. This design allows the first end 401 to rotate flexibly on the base 200, providing a basis for the movement of the linkage 400.

[0052] The second ends 402 are also configured as a pair spaced apart in the left-right direction, and are connected to the flip cover 300 via a second adapter mechanism. The second adapter mechanism includes a second adapter hole 302 disposed on the flip cover 300 and a second adapter shaft 402a disposed on the base 200. The second adapter hole 302 and the second adapter shaft 402a are adapted to each other, and the second adapter hole 302 is configured as an arc-shaped elongated hole. This design allows the second adapter shaft 402a and the second adapter hole 302 to slide relative to each other while rotating relative to each other during the flipping process of the flip cover 300, thereby preventing the flip cover 300 from jamming and ensuring the smooth rotation of the flip cover 300.

[0053] When the cup is suspended and adsorbed, the actuating end 403 is positioned below the first end 401 and the second end 402. When the brush head presses down on the actuating end 403, the flip cover 300 is closed via torque transmission, realizing the "press to automatically close" function. This design allows users to simply press the brush head lightly when placing the toothbrush, and the flip cover 300 will automatically close without manual operation, further improving ease of use.

[0054] The flip cover 300 and the base 200 are connected by a detachable snap-fit ​​mechanism. Specifically, the base 200 has a snap-fit ​​groove (not shown separately in the figure) opening towards the flip cover 300 at its edge, and the flip cover 300 has a protrusion (not shown separately in the figure) protruding towards the base 200. The protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove work together to snap the flip cover 300 and the base 200 together. This design facilitates the opening and closing of the flip cover 300; the user can easily separate or snap the flip cover 300 from the base 200 by gently pressing or pulling it.

[0055] The adsorption device 500 is a detachable adsorption device, allowing users to select the appropriate device based on different applications and needs, thus increasing the applicability and flexibility of the cup. Optional types of the adsorption device 500 include magnetic adsorption, suction cup, or adhesive bonding.

[0056] Preferably, a magnetic suction device is used, comprising a magnet 502 embedded in the bottom wall of the cup body 100, and a cover 501 for shielding the magnet 502. The cover 501 is fixed to the bottom wall of the cup body 100 and can be integrally installed using ultrasonic welding. The magnetic suction device utilizes the magnet's magnetic attraction to adhere to metal working surfaces, such as refrigerators and iron tabletops, providing a firm and convenient attachment. The cover 501 not only protects the magnet 502 from damage but also prevents it from attracting dust and other debris, ensuring the effective attraction of the magnetic suction device.

[0057] The suction cup device creates negative pressure by expelling air from within the suction cup, thus adhering the cup to the work surface. The suction cup device is suitable for various smooth work surfaces, such as glass and ceramic tiles. Users simply press the suction cup onto the work surface to expel the air, thus adhering the cup. To remove the cup, gently pry up the edge of the suction cup to allow air to enter, releasing the adhesion.

[0058] The adhesive bonding device uses strong adhesive to attach the cup body to the work surface. It is suitable for work surfaces where magnets or suction cups are unsuitable, such as rough walls. The advantage of the adhesive bonding device is its strong adhesion and resistance to detachment; however, the disadvantage is that it may leave adhesive residue on the work surface upon removal, requiring user cleaning.

[0059] A first retaining structure is provided between the flip cover 300 and the base 200 to restrict the rotation of the flip cover 300 when it is in the open position. The first retaining structure includes a positioning protrusion 204 on the base 200 and a first groove 303 on the flip cover 300. The positioning protrusion 204 and the first groove 303 cooperate to keep the flip cover 300 stable when it is in the open position. When the flip cover 300 is opened to the appropriate position, the positioning protrusion 204 will engage in the first groove 303 to prevent the flip cover 300 from closing due to accidental collision, thus ensuring stability when taking the toothbrush out or putting it back in.

[0060] A second retaining structure is also provided between the flip cover 300 and the base 200 to restrict the rotation of the flip cover 300 when it is in the closed position. The second retaining structure includes a positioning protrusion 204 on the base 200 and a second groove 304 on the flip cover 300. The positioning protrusion 204 and the second groove 304 cooperate to keep the flip cover 300 stable when it is in the closed position and prevent the flip cover 300 from opening accidentally. When the flip cover 300 is closed, the positioning protrusion 204 will engage with the second groove 304 to ensure that the flip cover 300 will not open automatically due to gravity or other factors when it is inverted, thus ensuring the safety of toothbrush storage.

[0061] In use, the user first attaches the suction device 500 to the work surface, suspending the cup with the top opening 101 facing downwards. Then, the user opens the flip cover 300, inserts the toothbrush head into the brush head cavity, and passes the toothbrush handle through the handle through hole 201. After placing the toothbrush, gently press the brush head; the actuating end 403 of the linkage 400 receives pressure, driving the flip cover 300 to close via torque transmission. When the toothbrush needs to be retrieved, simply pry open the flip cover 300 with your fingers to open it and remove the toothbrush.

[0062] The present invention, employing the above technical solution, has the following beneficial technical effects: The suction device 500 at the bottom of the cup 100 enables inverted suspension, allowing residual water on the brush head to drain naturally using gravity, effectively preventing water accumulation inside the cup, thus significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth, ensuring toothbrush hygiene, and benefiting oral health. The linked storage handle design makes it more convenient to take out and put away the toothbrush. Pressing the brush head automatically closes the flip cover 300; in the inverted state, the handle hangs down naturally, minimizing the retrieval path and improving ease of use. The brush head cavity formed between the base 200 and the flip cover 300 can store the toothbrush head, making the cup more neat and organized, while also making reasonable use of space, especially suitable for places with limited space. The arc-shaped elongated hole pivot mechanism and the spherical cavity adaptation design effectively prevent the flip cover 300 from jamming during flipping, ensuring smooth rotation of the flip cover 300, improving product reliability and service life. The adsorption device 500 can be selected from magnetic adsorption devices, suction cup devices, or adhesive devices. Users can choose the appropriate adsorption device 500 according to different usage occasions and needs, which increases the applicability and flexibility of the cup.

[0063] The multi-functional cup in this embodiment effectively solves the storage and hygiene problems of toothbrushes and cups through its unique inverted suction structure, linked storage handle, and anti-jamming mechanical design. Its various practical functions can meet people's needs in different situations and have broad market application prospects. In actual production and application, the structure and parameters of the multi-functional cup can be optimized and adjusted according to specific needs to further improve its performance and user experience.

[0064] The above description is merely a specific implementation of this embodiment, but the protection scope of this embodiment is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this embodiment should be included within the protection scope of this embodiment. Therefore, the protection scope of this embodiment should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
