Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging cup technology, and in particular to a beverage cup. Background Technology

[0002] In today's fast-paced life and work environment, beverage shops, coffee chains, and other similar establishments often need to prepare and distribute multiple cups of different types of drinks simultaneously. In practice, to differentiate between the characteristics of different drinks, such as flavor, temperature, and sugar content, the following methods are commonly used: one is to attach labels to the surface of the cup or mark them with a marker; another is to use different colored or patterned lids for distinction; and yet another is to use adhesive labels affixed to the lids.

[0003] However, existing technologies have the following technical problems: using labels or markers for marking is prone to label detachment or illegible writing, and increases additional consumable costs; using different colored cup lids requires stocking multiple types of lids, increasing inventory management difficulty, and the amount of information that can be identified is limited; affixing labels to the cup lids not only carries the risk of labels detaching but also affects the product's aesthetics. Moreover, self-service coffee machines in buildings or shopping malls do not provide labels or markers for differentiation, making it difficult to distinguish between multiple cups of coffee or beverages made by one person, forcing them to open the lids for reconfirmation, which is time-consuming, unhygienic, and increases the risk of spillage. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a beverage cup that makes it easy to distinguish the characteristics of different beverages, and has a simple structure that reduces costs.

[0005] This utility model provides a beverage cup, including: a cup body; a cup lid, which is rotatably disposed at the mouth of the cup body; wherein, one of the cup body and the cup lid is provided with a plurality of markings along the circumferential direction, and the other is provided with an indicator structure for pointing to the markings.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the markings are set on the outer peripheral surface of the cup body, and the outer surface of the cup body is provided with a spacing structure, which is set between two adjacent markings; the indicator structure is set at an off-center position on the top surface of the cup lid or on the outer peripheral surface.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the indicator structure is the drinking spout on the cup lid.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the lid is provided with a flap to cover the drinking spout, and when the flap covers the drinking spout, at least a portion of the flap points toward a marking.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the indicator structure is at least one of a protrusion, a recess, a notch, a tip, and a printed mark located on the outer edge of the cup lid.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the cup body includes: a cup body; a heat-resistant ring, which is fixed to the outer periphery of the cup body by an interference fit; wherein, a marking is provided on the outer surface of the cup body and / or the heat-resistant ring.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the markings include: a first marking, disposed on the outer surface of the cup body; and a second marking, disposed on the outer surface of the heat-resistant ring.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the cup body has a rim at one end along the axial direction, and a first mark is located adjacent to the rim.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the markings are provided on the top surface and / or outer peripheral surface of the cup lid, and the cup lid is provided with a spacing structure between two adjacent markings; the indicator structure is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cup body and adjacent to the cup rim.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the top surface of the cup lid is provided with a sunken platform, and the markings are placed on the sunken platform.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0042] The following is combined with Figure 1-13The present invention describes a beverage cup, comprising: a cup body 1; a cup lid 2, rotatably disposed at the mouth of the cup body 1; wherein, one of the cup body 1 and the cup lid 2 is provided with a plurality of markings 3 along the circumferential direction, and the other is provided with an indicator structure 4 for pointing to the markings 3.

[0043] Specifically, the mark 3 is used to identify the characteristics of the beverage. The beverage cup in this utility model is a disposable cup for holding liquid beverages such as coffee, milk tea, beverages, juice, and soy milk. It can be a plastic cup or an environmentally friendly paper cup, and there is no limitation here.

[0044] In this invention, beverage characteristics can be marked without additional marking materials by setting identification marks 3 on the cup body 1 and the lid 2. The identification mark 3 serves as a fixed information carrier, and the indicating structure 4 is positioned to the specific identification mark 3 by rotation, thus establishing a corresponding identification relationship. In practical applications, such as in coffee chain stores, service personnel only need to rotate the lid 2 to align the indicating structure 4 with the corresponding identification mark 3 to complete the beverage identification. Since the identification mark 3 is directly set on the outer surface of the cup body 1 or the lid 2, becoming an integral part of the beverage cup, there is no possibility of it falling off. This marking method remains intact and clear even in the hot and humid working environment of a beverage shop. The identification selection is achieved by rotating the lid 2, and the marking process is reversible and reusable. Users can adjust the pointing position of the indicating structure 4 at any time as needed. This design allows for timely correction of potential marking errors in fast-food restaurants and other places that require rapid beverage service, avoiding the waste of remaking beverages. Moreover, self-service coffee machines in buildings or shopping malls do not provide labels or markers for differentiation. When one person makes multiple coffee drinks, the coffee characteristics can be marked during the dispensing process without secondary confirmation, which is more hygienic and reduces the risk of spills.

[0045] In addition, the style of the logo mark 3 can be designed according to the brand style to maintain consistency and aesthetics; furthermore, the logo mark 3 is placed on the lid 2 or the cup body 1 close to the rim of the cup, which is eye-catching without taking up too much space and without affecting the advertising pattern on the cup body.

[0046] like Figure 13As shown, optionally, the identification mark 3 can also be used to mark user information, such as English letters, Arabic numerals, totem patterns, etc., which can represent user information. For example, in life, we often encounter scenarios where multiple people are in meetings, studying, or working at the same time. For instance, multiple people may be meeting at the same conference table, or during a training session, the table may need to be rearranged. Because everyone uses coffee cups that look the same, it is difficult to distinguish them once they are mixed together. Taking the wrong coffee cup is unhygienic and increases the risk of infectious diseases; throwing them all away is also an unnecessary waste. However, with the beverage cup of this utility model, after the user receives their beverage, they can rotate the lid (or open and rotate it to a designated position and then close it) to find the letters, pinyin, or favorite totem symbols corresponding to their surname. They can then align the marked point on the lid with the letters, pinyin, or favorite totem symbols of their surname that they just found. By rotating the lid, the indicator structure 4 points to the identification mark 3 that can mark user information, so that the user can quickly find their beverage and prevent taking the wrong beverage.

[0047] Furthermore, the label 3 can also be used partly to identify beverage characteristics, such as the flavor, amount of additives, or temperature, and partly to identify user characteristics, establishing a connection between the beverage cup and the user. When distributing beverages, the indicator structure 4 can be pointed to the label 3 that identifies beverage characteristics so that the user can find their beverage; after the user receives the beverage, they can rotate the cup lid again to make the indicator structure point to the label 3 that identifies user characteristics.

[0048] like Figure 1-6 As shown, in some embodiments, the marking 3 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the cup body 1, and the outer surface of the cup body 1 is provided with a spacing structure 5, which is disposed between two adjacent markings 3; the indicator structure 4 is disposed at an off-center position on the top surface of the cup lid 2 or on the outer peripheral surface.

[0049] In this invention, by setting markings 3 on the outer surface of the cup body 1 and cooperating with the indicator structure 4 on the cup lid 2, a rapid identification function for beverage characteristics is achieved. In practical applications, such as when a chain coffee shop is making multiple cups of coffee with different flavors simultaneously, the server can rotate the cup lid 2 to align the indicator structure 4 with the corresponding markings 3, thereby marking different beverage characteristics. This identification method eliminates the need for additional labels or marks, reducing material consumption and avoiding the problem of labels falling off that may occur with traditional labeling. In high-frequency usage scenarios such as fast food restaurants, this design can improve work efficiency and reduce error rates. Its ingenuity lies in combining the rotation function of the cup lid 2 with the marking function, forming a simple and reliable identification system.

[0050] The lid 2 is fastened to the rim of the cup body 1. A snap-fit ​​structure ensures a reliable connection between the lid 2 and the rim of the cup body 1, guaranteeing a tight seal. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further. The lid 2 can be rotated through the circular rim to point the indicator structure 4 on it to a specific marking 3, thus indicating the beverage's characteristics. Under non-human operation, the lid 2 will not rotate, ensuring the reliability of the marking.

[0051] Specifically, by setting a spacing structure 5 between adjacent signs 3, the recognizability of the signs is improved. In practical use, such as in low-light environments, the spacing structure 5 helps users accurately identify the position of the signs. This design also prevents interference between signs, improving recognition accuracy. The spacing structure 5 also strengthens the cup body 1. The spacing structure 5 can also be printed and integrally formed with the signs 3 onto the cup body 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, the indicator structure 4 is the drinking spout 41 on the cup lid 2.

[0053] In this invention, by placing the drinking spout 41 at an off-center position on the lid 2 as an indicator structure 4, the structure is simplified. In practical applications, such as when providing beverage service at large conferences, service personnel can directly identify and distribute different beverages by the position of the drinking spout 41. This design eliminates the need for an additional indicator structure 4 on the lid 2, reducing mold manufacturing costs. Furthermore, since the drinking spout 41 is an essential functional structure of the lid 2, this design does not affect other functions of the lid 2. In mass production, it reduces production steps and improves production efficiency. In addition, the off-center placement of the drinking spout 41 facilitates drinking; rotating the lid 2 allows the drinking spout 41 to function as an indicator, demonstrating the unity of structure and function.

[0054] Specifically, the drinking spout 41 can be a circular opening with a baffle plate at it. The baffle plate can be dislodged by the straw, thereby opening the drinking spout 41. The drinking spout 41 can also be a recessed or protruding irregularly shaped drinking spout.

[0055] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the cup lid 2 is provided with a flap 21 for sealing the drinking spout 41, and when the flap 21 seals the drinking spout 41, at least a portion of the flap 21 points to the identification mark 3.

[0056] In this invention, the opening and closing of the drinking spout 41 is achieved by flipping the flap 21, preventing beverages from spilling out of the drinking spout 41. Furthermore, after the flap 21 is closed, it can serve as an indicator structure 4 pointing to the marker 3, increasing recognizability. Specifically, as... Figure 10As shown, when the flip 21 is flipped to the position where the drinking spout 41 is closed, a part of the flip 21 is located on the side of the cup lid 2, and the part of the flip 21 located on the side of the cup lid 2 forms an arrow pointing to the mark 3 or other directional structure, which is coplanar with the mark 3 on the cup body 1, thereby improving the accuracy of the mark.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the indicator structure 4 is at least one of a protrusion, a recess, a notch 42, a tip, and a printed mark disposed on the outer edge of the cup lid 2.

[0058] In this invention, by providing a raised portion, a recessed portion, a tip, or a printed mark as an indicator structure 4 along the outer edge of the cup lid 2, manufacturers are provided with a variety of technical implementation methods. Different forms of the indicator structure 4 can be selected for different usage environments. For example, in places with poor indoor lighting conditions, a raised portion or a recessed portion can be selected as the indicator structure 4, allowing users to confirm the location of the mark by touch; in bright environments, printed marks can be selected, which are both aesthetically pleasing and clear. This flexible design allows the product to adapt to different usage scenarios and also provides manufacturers with different cost options.

[0059] Furthermore, by placing the indicator structure 4 on the outer edge of the lid 2, which is located on the same arc surface as the marking 3 on the outer circumference of the cup body 1, the position of the indicator structure 4 is easily identifiable. Specifically, the lid 2 of beverage cups is generally made of transparent plastic. By providing protrusions, recesses, or tips on the lid 2, it is easy to process and mold, suitable for mass production, and does not require additional processing steps.

[0060] When the indicator structure 4 is used as a printed mark, the printed mark can also be placed on the top of the cup lid 2, and can be set in the form of a pointer or arrow pointing to the identification mark 3. Explanatory text can also be printed next to the pointer or arrow to remind the user to identify the characteristics of the beverage according to the direction indicated by the pointer or arrow.

[0061] like Figure 2 and 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the indicator structure 4 is a notch 42 provided at the outer edge of the cup lid 2, and the notch 42 is a triangular structure, a trapezoidal structure or an arc structure.

[0062] In this invention, a notch 42 of a specific shape is provided on the outer edge of the cup lid 2 as an indicator structure 4, providing an easily identifiable indication method that is both visually and tactilely responsive. In practical applications, such as drive-thru service in fast food restaurants, servers can quickly identify the characteristics of the beverage by the shape of the notch 42, improving service efficiency. The triangular notch 42 has clear directional characteristics and is suitable for occasions requiring precise indication; the arc-shaped notch 42 has smooth edges, is less prone to accumulating stains, and is easy to clean; the trapezoidal notch 42 strikes a balance between directional characteristics and ease of cleaning. This design considers both functionality and practicality.

[0063] In one specific embodiment, the marking 3 uses Braille, and the notch 42 design can also help blind people quickly find the indicator structure 4 and the drinking spout 41, making it easier for blind people to identify the characteristics of the beverage.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, preferably, for the plastic cup lid 2, by using an arc-shaped notch 42, there is no tearing part at the notch 42, which effectively reduces the possibility of the cup lid 2 tearing at the notch 42 during assembly, rotation or drinking.

[0065] like Figure 5-6 As shown, in some embodiments, the cup body 1 includes: a cup body 11; and an anti-scalding ring 12, which is fixed to the outer periphery of the cup body 11 by an interference fit; wherein, the marking 3 is disposed on the outer surface of the cup body 11 and / or the anti-scalding ring 12.

[0066] In this invention, the problem of scalding hands when using hot drinks is solved by using an anti-scalding ring 12 fitted around the outer periphery of the cup body 11. In places serving hot drinks, such as coffee shops, this design effectively protects users' hands from burns. The interference fit connection ensures that the anti-scalding ring 12 will not loosen or fall off during use, improving product reliability. The anti-scalding ring 12 also provides additional space for marking, making the marking system more complete. In actual use, the anti-scalding ring 12 also protects the cup body 11 and prevents damage to the cup.

[0067] Specifically, the anti-scalding ring 12 is a paper ring. Since the diameter of the cup body 11 adopts a gradual structure with a larger diameter at the top and a smaller diameter at the bottom, it is convenient to fit the anti-scalding ring 12 around the outer circumference of the cup body 11 and to make an interference fit with the cup body 11, so as to ensure the relative stability of the anti-scalding ring 12 and the cup body 11.

[0068] Optionally, the spacer structure on the heat-resistant ring 12 can also be designed with a cutout to facilitate identification by the blind and to facilitate heat dissipation.

[0069] In one specific embodiment, the marking 3 is set on the cup body 11. The marking 3 on the cup body 11 cooperates with the indicating structure 4 on the cup lid 2 to indicate the characteristics of the beverage.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, in another specific embodiment, the marking 3 is set on the anti-scalding ring 12. The marking 3 on the anti-scalding ring 12 cooperates with the indicating structure 4 on the cup lid 2 to indicate the characteristics of the beverage.

[0071] like Figure 6 As shown, in another specific embodiment, the marking 3 is set on the cup body 11 and also on the anti-scalding ring 12. The marking 3 on the cup body 11 and the anti-scalding ring 12, through the indicator structure 4 on the cup lid 2, cooperate with the marking 3 on the cup body 11 and the anti-scalding ring 12 to indicate the characteristics of the beverage.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the marking 3 includes: a first marking 31, disposed on the outer surface of the cup body 11; and a second marking 32, disposed on the outer surface of the anti-scalding ring 12.

[0073] In this invention, by setting a first mark 31 and a second mark 32 on the cup body 11 and the anti-scalding ring 12 respectively, the labeling system can carry more information. In practical applications, such as when a milk tea shop needs to label multiple information items, the beverage category can be labeled on the cup body 11, and the sugar content or temperature can be labeled on the anti-scalding ring 12, making the information display more systematic. This zoning labeling method facilitates rapid identification and classification management of information, reducing confusion during use.

[0074] Specifically, the anti-scalding ring 12 also has its own function: to reduce the temperature of the beverage from being transferred to the user, preventing the user's hands from being burned or chilled.

[0075] In one specific embodiment, the beverage cup is used to hold coffee. The first mark 31 can be the coffee flavor, such as Americano, latte, mocha, cappuccino, etc. The indicator structure 4 on the lid 2 is rotated to point to the corresponding first mark 31. The second mark 32 can indicate the amount of sugar added; this is achieved by rotating the anti-scalding ring 12 to point to the corresponding second mark 32. This provides dual identification of both flavor and sugar amount.

[0076] In some embodiments, the cup body 11 is provided with a cup mouth at one end along the axial direction, and the first mark 31 is provided adjacent to the cup mouth.

[0077] In this invention, by placing the first mark 31 near the rim of the cup, the visibility of the label is improved. In practical applications, such as the beverage area of ​​a self-service restaurant, users can see the label without picking up or turning the cup 1, thus improving ease of use. This design is particularly suitable for chain stores that require rapid beverage service, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0078] Specifically, by placing the first mark 31 near the rim of the cup, it can be better aligned with the indicator structure 4, making it easier for users to identify.

[0079] like Figure 8 , 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the marking 3 is disposed on the top surface and / or outer peripheral surface of the cup lid 2, and the cup lid 2 is provided with a spacing structure 5, which is disposed between two adjacent markings 3; the indicator structure 4 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the cup body 1 and adjacent to the cup mouth.

[0080] In this invention, the marking 3 is set on the top or outer peripheral surface of the cup lid 2. The marking 3 can be raised or recessed text, pinyin, English, etc., which facilitates vacuum forming. The indicator structure 4 is set on the outer peripheral surface of the cup body 1 and near the cup mouth. By rotating the cup lid 2, the indicator structure 4 can point to the corresponding marking 3. The indicator structure 4 can be an arrow or prompt text printed on the cup body 1.

[0081] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the top surface of the cup lid 2 is provided with a sunken platform 22, and the marking 3 is provided on the sunken platform 22.

[0082] In this invention, by setting a sunken platform 22 on the top of the cup lid 2 and placing the marking 3 on the top surface of the sunken platform 22, the marking 3 becomes more eye-catching and increases its recognizability.

[0083] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: a heat-resistant ring 6, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the cup body 1; a third mark 7, which is disposed on the outer periphery of the heat-resistant ring 6; wherein, one end of the indicator structure 4 points to the mark 3 and the other end points to the third mark 7.

[0084] In this invention, by setting the indicator structure 4 as a double arrow pointing up and down, with the upward arrow pointing to the mark 3 on the cup lid and the downward arrow pointing to the third mark 7 on the anti-scalding ring 6, more features of the beverage can be marked.

[0085] Specifically, the marking 3 on the lid 2 indicates the coffee flavor, such as Americano, Mocha, Cappuccino, Latte, etc.; the third marking 7 on the heat-resistant ring 6 indicates the amount of sugar or temperature.

[0086] In some embodiments, the beverage characteristics identified by the identification mark 3 include one of flavor, temperature, and amount of added ingredients.

[0087] This embodiment of the utility model clarifies that the marking 3 can identify specific characteristics such as flavor, temperature, and the amount of added ingredients, making the marking system more standardized and professional. In standardized service locations such as chain stores, this standardized marking system helps ensure the consistency of service quality and reduces communication errors. At the same time, this marking method also makes it easier for new employees to quickly grasp the key points of the job.

[0088] In some embodiments, the identification mark 3 includes at least one of text, pattern, English, pinyin, and Braille.

[0089] This invention improves the versatility of the signage system by employing multiple signage formats, including text, graphics, English, pinyin, and Braille. In international settings such as airports and high-speed rail stations, this multilingual signage approach can meet the needs of users with different language backgrounds. Graphic signage can overcome language barriers and achieve intuitive recognition. This design has a significant advantage in cross-cultural communication scenarios.

[0090] Specifically, the identifier 3 can be a single element symbol or a combination of multiple element symbols.

[0091] Of course, the marking 3 is not limited to the above-mentioned text, patterns, English, pinyin and Braille, but can also be other elements and symbols that can be printed on the cup body 1 and have an identification effect.

[0092] The beverage cup provided by this utility model achieves beverage characteristic marking without additional marking materials by setting marking marks 3 on the cup body 1 and the cup lid 2. The marking mark 3 serves as a fixed information carrier, and the indicating structure 4 is positioned to the specific marking mark 3 by rotation, thereby establishing a corresponding marking relationship. In practical applications, such as in coffee chain stores, service personnel only need to rotate the cup lid 2 to align the indicating structure 4 with the corresponding marking mark 3 to complete the beverage characteristic marking. Since the marking mark 3 is directly set on the outer surface of the cup body 1 or the cup lid 2, becoming an integral part of the beverage cup, there is no possibility of it falling off. This marking method remains intact and clear even in the high-temperature and humid working environment of beverage shops. Marking selection is achieved by rotating the cup lid 2, and the marking process is reversible and reusable. Users can adjust the pointing position of the indicating structure 4 at any time as needed. This design, in places like fast-food restaurants where beverages need to be served quickly, can promptly correct potential marking errors and avoid the waste of remaking beverages.

[0093] The beverage cup provided in this embodiment of the invention has the following advantages compared to existing beverage cups:

[0094] 1. All possible product markings are pre-printed on the outside of the cup. The cups are all the same size, so there is no need to customize them and they can be mass-produced.

[0095] 2. Eliminates the existing manual marking or pen labeling steps, greatly reducing production time and unnecessary costs;

[0096] 3. Because the text or pattern on the label can be combined with the style of the coffee or the design of the cup, and it is printed, it is more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing than the existing manual labeling or pen marking methods.

[0097] 4. The cup body and lid are standard products, without adding any extra structure, saving costs and making them easy to use;

[0098] 5. Increase the fun of operation and enhance the appeal of product selling points;

[0099] 6. The markings are reliable; there is no situation where manually applied markings fall off or pen markings are smeared off.

[0100] The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative. The units described as separate components may or may not be physically separate, and the components shown as units may or may not be physical units; that is, they may be located in one place or distributed across multiple network units. Some or all of the modules can be selected to achieve the purpose of this embodiment according to actual needs. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement this without any creative effort.

[0101] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
