Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking utensils, specifically to a movable combination cup. Background Technology
[0002] The cups on the market are diverse, but they mainly focus on the texture of the cup body. The structure of the cup body is still mainly a simple cylindrical shape, which is quite limited.
[0003] Furthermore, for certain drinks that require shaking to enhance flavor, such as whiskey, the user must shake it manually, which is quite inconvenient. Although whiskey glasses that rotate with coasters have appeared on the market, most glasses still have certain limitations in their design. These types of whiskey glasses can only simply rotate the glass in their rotating design, without enhancing interactivity or engagement through the design of the glass itself. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an active combination cup with multiple combination methods, which can provide flexible application in various usage scenarios and provide users with a sense of interaction and participation.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a movable combination cup, including a first cup body and a second cup body, wherein the bottom of the first cup body is concave or convex in a hemispherical smooth arc surface, and the bottom of the second cup body is concave or convex in a hemispherical smooth arc surface; one of the first cup body and the second cup body is placed upside down as a base; the other of the first cup body and the second cup body sits directly or indirectly on it through concave-convex matching, and is used as a drinking cup; the drinking cup can rotate approximately 180° on a horizontal plane with the base as the base.
[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a coaster, which is disposed between the first cup body and the second cup body. The two sides of the coaster are respectively concave or convex in a hemispherical smooth arc surface, respectively matching the bottom of the first cup body and the bottom of the second cup body.
[0007] Specifically, the bottom of the first cup body is convex, and the bottom of the second cup body is concave; one side of the coaster is concave to match the bottom shape of the first cup body, and the other side of the coaster is convex to match the bottom shape of the second cup body.
[0008] Specifically, the bottom of the first cup body is concave, and the bottom of the second cup body is concave; one side of the coaster is convex to match the bottom shape of the first cup body, and the other side of the coaster is convex to match the bottom shape of the second cup body.
[0009] Specifically, the bottom of the first cup body bulges outward, and the bottom of the second cup body bulges outward; one side of the coaster is concave to match the bottom shape of the first cup body, and the other side of the coaster is concave to match the bottom shape of the second cup body.
[0010] Furthermore, the coaster has a retaining edge around the edge of its concave surface.
[0011] Specifically, the curvature of the matching convex surfaces is greater than that of the concave surfaces, such that the end of the convex surface abuts against the lowest point of the concave surface, and a gap for rotation is created between the convex surface and the concave surface by the outward extension of its end.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the first cup body is concave, and the bottom of the second cup body is convex. The first cup body and the second cup body are concave and convex in matching. One of the first cup body and the second cup body sits directly on the other of the inverted first cup body and the second cup body. The curvature of the matching convex surface is greater than the curvature of the concave surface, so that the end of the convex surface abuts against the lowest point of the concave surface. A gap for rotation is created between the convex surface and the concave surface by the outwardly extending surface of the end of the convex surface.
[0013] Specifically, the first cup body is an hourglass shape with a smaller middle and larger ends, and the second cup body is a drum shape with a larger middle and smaller ends; or, both the first cup body and the second cup body are drum shapes with a larger middle and smaller ends; or, both the first cup body and the second cup body are hourglass shapes with a smaller middle and larger ends.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the first and second cup bodies are roughened.
[0015] Preferably, the movable combination cup is made of glass.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This utility model's modular cups offer different combination methods, providing flexibility and allowing users to participate and interact. Different combination methods enable use in various scenarios, thus reducing the inconvenience of users having to replace different types of coasters.
[0018] 2. The design of the concave-convex matching and the gap for rotation of this utility model effectively improves the stability and smoothness during rotation, ensuring that the cup body, as a drinking cup, is not easy to tilt or slide when placed.
[0019] 3. A retaining edge is provided around the concave edge of the coaster, which can fit with the outer edge of the cup body to limit the range of rotation of the cup body, ensuring that the cup body remains stable when rotating and will not deviate from the track or fall off due to excessive rotation.
[0020] 4. This utility model can be roughened. The outer surface of the glass body is treated with tiny textures, particles or frosting to produce a certain surface roughness, thereby enhancing the light refraction effect. When light shines on the glass body, it can be reflected and scattered on the outer surface of the glass body, thereby highlighting the luster and color layers of the wine, and making the wine show a richer sense of layering and visual effect under light.
[0021] 5. Users can adjust the vertical position of the cups as needed, or use either cup individually. This interchangeable and individual-use design makes the promotional cup set suitable not only for social gatherings, romantic getaways, and family meals, but also to meet the personalized needs of different users.

[0033] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, the technical solutions and advantages of the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Any mechanisms or methods not elaborated in this utility model can be referred to in the prior art. The specific structures and features of this utility model are illustrated below by way of example and should not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Furthermore, any technical feature mentioned below (including implicit or disclosed features), as well as any technical feature directly shown or implied in the figures, can be arbitrarily combined or deleted among these technical features to form more other embodiments that may not be directly or indirectly mentioned in this utility model. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
[0034] The movable combination cup of this utility model includes a first cup body and a second cup body. The bottom of the first cup body is concave or convex, forming a smooth, hemispherical arc surface. The bottom of the second cup body is also concave or convex, forming a smooth, hemispherical arc surface. One of the first and second cup bodies is placed upside down as a base. The other of the first and second cup bodies sits directly or indirectly on the base through a concave-convex matching mechanism, serving as a drinking cup. The drinking cup can rotate approximately 180° on a horizontal plane with the base as its base.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the movable combination cup of this embodiment 1 includes a first cup body 10, a second cup body 20, and a coaster 30. The coaster 30 is disposed between the first cup body 10 and the second cup body 20, and the two sides of the coaster 30 respectively match the bottom of the first cup body 10 and the second cup body 20. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first cup body 10, the second cup body 20, and the coaster 30 are made of glass.
[0037] Specifically, the first cup body 10 is an hourglass-shaped cylinder with an opening at the top, a small middle and large ends, and includes a first cup body 11 and a first bottom 13. The first bottom 13 convex outwards in the shape of a smooth, hemispherical arc surface.
[0038] The second cup body 20 is a drum-shaped cylinder with an opening at the top, a larger middle and smaller ends, and includes a second cup body 22 and a second bottom 24. The second bottom 24 is concave and has a smooth, hemispherical arc surface.
[0039] The coaster 30 is a circular plate with two surfaces. One surface is concave, forming a smooth, hemispherical arc that matches the first bottom 13. The other surface of the coaster 30 is convex, also forming a smooth, hemispherical arc that matches the second bottom 24. The curvature of the convex surface of the first bottom 13 is greater than that of the concave surface of the coaster 30, causing the end of the first bottom 13 to abut against the lowest point of the concave surface of the coaster 30. A gap 400 for rotation is created between the outwardly extending end of the first bottom 13 and the concave surface of the coaster 30. Furthermore, the curvature of the convex surface of the coaster 30 is greater than that of the concave surface of the second bottom 24, causing the end of the convex surface of the coaster 30 to abut against the lowest point of the second bottom 24. A gap 400 for rotation is created between the outwardly extending end of the convex surface of the coaster 30 and the second bottom 24.
[0040] In use, various combinations can achieve multiple usage methods, including:
[0041] (1) The second cup body 20 is placed upside down on the table as the base of the combination cup, that is, the second bottom 24 faces upward and the opening of the second cup body 20 contacts the table. The coaster 30 is placed on the second bottom 24, with the concave and convex surfaces matching each other, that is, the concave surface of the coaster 30 faces upward. The first cup body 10 is placed on the coaster 30, with the first bottom 13 matching the concave and convex surfaces of the coaster 30. The first cup body 10 sits indirectly on the second cup body 20 through the coaster 30. The first cup body 10 is used as the drinking cup of the combination cup at this time, and the beverage can be inverted inside it. There is a rotation gap 400 between the first bottom 13 and the coaster 30. Under the action of external force, the first cup body 10 can rotate approximately 180° on the horizontal plane with its end as the axis.
[0042] (2) Based on the usage method (1), remove the coaster 30, and the first cup body 10 sits directly on the second cup body 20. There is a gap 400 for rotation between the first bottom 13 and the second bottom 24. Under the action of external force, the first cup body 10 can rotate approximately 180° on the horizontal plane with its end as the axis.
[0043] (3) Similar to the usage method (1), but the functions of the first cup body 10 and the second cup body 20 are interchanged. The first cup body 10 is placed upside down on the table as the base of the combination cup. The coaster 30 is placed on the first bottom 13, with the two sides matching each other, that is, the outer convex surface of the coaster 30 faces upward. The second cup body 20 is placed on the coaster 30, with the second bottom 24 matching the coaster 30. The second cup body 20 is used as the drinking cup of the combination cup at this time, and the beverage can be inverted inside it. There is a gap 400 between the second bottom 24 and the coaster 30 for rotation. Under the action of external force, the second cup body 20 can rotate approximately 180° on the horizontal plane with its end as the axis.
[0044] (4) Based on the usage method (3), remove the coaster 30, and the second cup body 20 sits directly on the first cup body 10. There is a gap 400 for rotation between the first bottom 13 and the second bottom 24. Under the action of external force, the second cup body 20 can rotate approximately 180° on the horizontal plane with its end as the axis.
[0045] (5) Without using the first cup body 10, place the coaster 30 on the table with its concave surface facing down, but place the second cup body 20 on the coaster 30. The second bottom 24 matches the concave and convex shape of the coaster 30. The second cup body 20 is used as a drinking cup at this time, and the beverage can be inverted inside it. There is a rotation gap 400 between the second bottom 24 and the coaster 30. Under the action of external force, the second cup body 20 can rotate approximately 180° on the horizontal plane with its end as the axis.
[0046] (6) Without using the first cup body 10 and coaster 30, the second cup body 20 is placed directly on the table as a drinking cup and the second cup body 20 is not rotatable.
[0047] As can be seen from the usage methods (2) and (4) of Embodiment 1, the coaster 30 is not a necessary structure. When a gap 400 for rotation can be generated between the first bottom 13 and the second bottom 24, the first cup body 10 and the second cup body 20 can directly serve as rotation bases for each other. Therefore, in other embodiments, the movable combination cup only has the first cup body 10 and the second cup body 20, and the coaster 30 is not provided.
[0048] In Embodiment 1, a gap 400 for rotation is also provided between the convex surface of the coaster 30 and the concave surface formed by the second bottom 24. In other embodiments, only the convex surface formed by the first bottom 13 and the concave surface of the coaster 30 have a gap 400 for rotation, while no gap 400 for rotation is provided between the convex surface of the coaster 30 and the concave surface formed by the second bottom 24. This design facilitates more stable rotation of the first cup body 10.
[0049] In Example 1, the first glass body 10 and the second glass body 20 have a smooth, textureless design. In other examples, a roughening treatment can be used. The outer surface of the glass body is treated with minute textures, particles, or frosting to create a certain surface roughness, thereby enhancing the light refraction effect. When light shines on the glass body, it can be reflected and scattered on the outer surface of the glass body, thus highlighting the luster and color layers of the wine, making the wine exhibit a richer sense of layering and visual effect under light. For example, a diamond-shaped texture could be used. Figure 7-9 As shown.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] The movable combination cup of Embodiment 2 is largely the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that: the concave edge of the coaster of Embodiment 2 is surrounded by a retaining edge, which can cooperate with the outer edge of the first bottom to limit the rotation range of the first cup body and ensure that the first cup body remains stable when rotating and will not deviate from the track or fall off due to excessive rotation.
[0052] Example 3
[0053] The movable combination cup of Embodiment 3 is largely the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that the second bottom of Embodiment 3 is not concave but convex. The second bottom of Embodiment 3 is convex in the shape of a hemispherical, smooth arc surface. Correspondingly, both sides of the coaster are concave to match the first cup body and the second cup body.
[0054] In a preferred embodiment of Example 3, the curvature of the first and second bottom surfaces is consistent, and the curvature of the two surfaces of the coaster is also consistent, so that a gap for rotation can be generated between the surface of the coaster and either the first or second bottom surface. In other embodiments, the curvature of the convex surface formed by the first and second bottom surfaces is inconsistent, and the curvature of the two concave surfaces of the coaster may or may not be consistent.
[0055] Example 4
[0056] The movable combination cup of Embodiment 4 is largely the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that the first bottom of Embodiment 4 is concave rather than convex. The first bottom of Embodiment 4 is concave and has a smooth, hemispherical arc surface. Correspondingly, both sides of the coaster are convex to match the first and second cup bodies.
[0057] Similarly, the curvature of the first and second bottoms can be the same or different, and the curvature of the two convex surfaces of the coaster can be the same or different.
[0058] Example 5
[0059] The movable combination cup of Example 5 is roughly the same as that of Example 1, except that the first cup body and the second cup body of Example 5 are both drum-shaped with a larger middle and smaller ends.
[0060] The degree of bulging of the first and second cups in the drum shape can be the same or different.
[0061] Example 6
[0062] The movable combination cup of Example 6 is roughly the same as that of Example 1, except that the first cup body and the second cup body of Example 6 are both hourglass-shaped with a smaller middle and larger ends.
[0063] The shapes of the first and second cups in the hourglass shape can be the same or different.
[0064] It should be noted that the bottom mentioned above refers to the outer surface of the cup body. The inner bottom wall of the cup body is not the bottom of the cup body, and the unevenness of the bottom wall of the cup body is not within the scope of the inventive concept of this patent.
[0065] Compared with existing technologies, the movable combination cup of this invention offers multiple usage methods through different combinations, providing flexibility and a sense of participation and interaction for users. Furthermore, this invention is suitable for various scenarios, reducing the inconvenience of users having to replace different types of coasters. The design of the concave-convex matching gaps for rotation effectively improves the stability and smoothness during rotation, ensuring that the cup body, when placed, is not easily tilted or slipped.
[0066] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, it will be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
