[0051] The rotating teacup described in this utility model allows the outer cup 1 and the inner cup 4 to rotate relative to each other. This allows people to appreciate the patterns on the outer wall of the inner cup 4 at different positions through the hollow opening 102 on the outer cup body 101, creating different visual effects. This allows people to appreciate the patterns and text while enjoying tea, increasing the fun and appeal and satisfying people's pursuit of a better life. The structure that enables the relative rotation of the outer cup 1 and the inner cup 4 is mainly achieved by the connection of the bearing 2, the connecting gasket 3, and the cup bottom 5. The design is ingenious, the structure is simple, the assembly is quick, and the production cost is reduced.
[0052] The rotating teacup described in this utility model may further include:
[0053] The cup lid 6 includes a cup lid body 601 that matches the inner cup 4 and a connecting post 602;
[0054] The lifting button 7 includes a lifting button body 701 and a connecting groove 702 that matches the connecting post 602, and the connecting post 602 is engaged with the connecting groove 702.
[0055] The rotating teacup of this invention features a lid 6 and a handle 7 that are snapped together via a connecting post 602 and a connecting groove 702. This design is simple, allows for quick assembly, and reduces production costs. To enhance the snap-fit effect, an elastic friction ring or adhesive layer can be provided between the connecting post 602 and the connecting groove 702 to further improve the connection's strength.
[0056] The rotating teacup described in this utility model may further include:
[0057] The cup holder 8 includes a cup holder body 801 and a placement groove 802 disposed on the cup holder body 801, the placement groove 802 matching the cup bottom 5.
[0058] The rotating teacup described in this utility model has, on the one hand, an inner diameter of the placement groove 802 on the cup holder body 801 that is equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cup bottom 5, further improving the convenience of taking and putting away the teacup; on the other hand, it can also collect spilled tea.
[0059] The rotating teacup of this utility model may further include, as follows:
[0060] The guide post 104 is disposed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 103 and includes a guide post body 1041 and a guide part 1042 disposed on the upper part of the guide post body 1041.
[0061] The rotating teacup described in this utility model, by setting the guide post 104, can guide the bearing 2 first by the guide part 1042 when installing the bearing 2, so that the bearing 2 reaches the preset position, and then press the bearing 2 to make the bearing 2 easier to enter the installation groove 103.
[0062] The guide portion 1042 includes a concave first arc-shaped guide surface 10421 and a convex second arc-shaped guide surface 10422. The first arc-shaped guide surface 10421 and the second arc-shaped guide surface 10422 are smoothly transitioned. The diameter of the circle at the upper end of the first arc-shaped guide surface 10421 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the bearing 2. The diameter of the circle at the connection between the first arc-shaped guide surface 10421 and the second arc-shaped guide surface 10422 is equal to or less than the outer diameter of the bearing 2. When installing bearing 2, because the diameter of the circle containing the upper end of the first arc-shaped guide surface 10421 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of bearing 2, bearing 2 will automatically fall into the groove formed by the upper end of the first arc-shaped guide surface 10421 within the mounting groove 103 by gravity. This reduces the need for manual alignment of bearing 2 with the mounting groove 103, improving work efficiency. Simultaneously, the diameter of the circle where the first arc-shaped guide surface 10421 and the second arc-shaped guide surface 10422 connect is equal to or less than the outer diameter of bearing 2. Directly pressing bearing 2 ensures even force distribution, thus connecting bearing 2 with the mounting groove 103. This prevents a portion of bearing 2 from entering the mounting groove 103 first, causing deformation and affecting the smooth rotation of the outer cup 1 and inner cup 4. Furthermore, multiple guide post bodies 1041 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 103. The guide post bodies 1041 are more prone to deformation than the mounting groove 103, further reducing operational difficulty and improving installation efficiency.
[0063] The rotating teacup of this utility model may further include, as follows:
[0064] The retaining edge 105 is located in the lower part of the mounting groove 103, and the top surface of the retaining edge 105 abuts against the bottom surface of the bearing 2.
[0065] The retaining edge 105 protrudes from the inner wall of the mounting groove 103 to prevent the bearing 2 from sliding out of the mounting groove 103 when the bearing 2 is pressed down. In addition, the retaining edge 105 not only has a limiting function, but can also cover the bearing 2 to protect the bearing 2.
[0066] Among them, the outer cup 1 is a metal enamel outer cup, which is not only beautiful and elegant, but also has strong impact resistance and drop protection.
[0067] Among them, inner cup 4 is a ceramic inner cup.
[0068] The rotating teacup of this utility model, the connecting gasket 3 also includes a first connecting hole 305, which is disposed inside the second snap ring 303;
[0069] The cup bottom 5 also includes a second connecting hole 505, which is located inside the fourth snap ring 503 and matches the first connecting hole 305;
[0070] A screw passes through the first connecting hole 305 and is threaded into the second connecting hole 505.
[0071] The rotating teacup described in this invention can achieve a more secure connection using screws.
[0072] The rotating teacup of this utility model includes an inner cup 4 comprising an inner cup body 401 and a groove 402 disposed on the lower side of the inner cup body 401; the connecting gasket 3 also includes a protrusion 306 disposed on the upper side of the gasket body 301, the protrusion 306 matching the groove 402.
[0073] Specifically, both the protrusion 306 and the groove 402 can be circular or elliptical.
[0074] The rotating teacup described in this utility model, by setting a protrusion 306 and a groove 402, allows the inner cup 4 to be placed on the protrusion 306 of the connecting pad 3 when brewing tea, so that the outer cup 1 and the inner cup 4 can rotate relative to each other. Through the hollow opening 102 on the outer cup body 101, the patterns on the outer wall of the inner cup 4 at different positions can be appreciated, producing different visual effects, so that people can appreciate the patterns and text when drinking tea. The inner cup 4 can be directly removed and placed when drinking tea, and the inner cup 4 can also be used alone when necessary. It is not only ingeniously designed, simple in structure, quick to assemble, and reduces production costs, but also can be used in two ways to achieve more functions.
[0075] The rotating teacup described in this utility model may further include a placement groove 403 in the inner cup 4, and the connecting pad 3 may further include a placement platform 307 disposed on the upper side of the pad body 301, wherein the inner diameter of the placement groove 403 matches the outer diameter of the placement platform 307.
[0076] The rotating teacup described in this utility model, by setting the placement groove 403, can place the inner cup 4 more stably on the connecting pad 3, so as to achieve a more stable connection between the inner cup 4 and the connecting pad 3. Furthermore, when the inner cup 4 is taken out for use alone, the temperature of the placement groove 403 is low, avoiding burns.
[0077] The rotating teacup of this utility model may further include a raised grip portion 404 in the inner cup 4, the lower side of which is flush with the top edge of the outer cup body 101.
[0078] The rotating teacup described in this utility model, by providing a raised grip portion 404, not only makes it easier to hold and put away, but also allows the outer cup 1 and the inner cup 4 to have a visual effect of becoming a whole.
[0079] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
