Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to a cup structure. Background Technology
[0002] Water cups are common items in daily life. To make them easier to carry, some companies add a rope to the lid, allowing users to hook their fingers on the rope or hang the cup in a desired location. However, most water cups on the market have drawbacks such as complicated connections that are inconvenient to assemble, or simple connections that are not stable enough. These issues need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address at least one of the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0004] This application discloses a cup structure, including a cup body, a lid for sealing the cup mouth, and a rope. A locking block is provided at the end of the rope. The lid includes a main body and a pressure cap. The pressure cap is fixed at the top groove of the main body. A locking groove is provided on the peripheral wall of the pressure cap above the cup mouth. The tail end of the locking groove extends to the bottom surface of the pressure cap, and the size of the tail end groove is sufficient for the locking block to enter. The head end of the locking groove extends to a position adjacent to the top surface of the pressure cap. A rope hole is provided on the peripheral wall of the main body above the cup mouth, communicating with its groove cavity, and the head end of the rope extends out from the rope hole. The size of the rope hole restricts the locking block from disengaging from the rope hole. The locking block is located in the space enclosed by the locking groove and the side cavity wall of the rope hole.
[0005] In this design, the structure of the cover is redesigned. The main body and the pressure cap are assembled together. A rope hole is formed on the peripheral wall of the main body to pull out the rope, and the size of the rope hole is limited to prevent the end of the rope from detaching from the rope hole. A groove is formed on the peripheral wall of the pressure cap, and the size of the groove opening at the end of the groove is limited. During assembly, the end of the groove is aligned with the corresponding end of the lock block and pressed down to place the lock block into the groove. The first end of the groove is limited to not extending to the top surface, thus confining the lock block in the space enclosed by the groove and the side cavity wall of the rope hole. The connection between the rope and the cover is more convenient and stable.
[0006] Furthermore, a shoulder is provided in the top groove cavity wall of the main body at a position below the rope hole. The locking block is located in the space surrounded by the locking groove, the side cavity wall of the rope hole, and the shoulder. Adding the shoulder helps to further improve the stability of the locking block, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the rope and the cover.
[0007] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the cap and the threaded hole communicates with the groove of the body. A sealing cap is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, which can pre-store the required seasonings, such as sugar and coffee powder, into the groove of the cap, and can be added to the cup as needed.
[0008] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is provided on the top surface of the shoulder, and the bottom of the gland abuts against the sealing gasket to improve the sealing performance.
[0009] Furthermore, a protruding rib is provided on the cavity wall of the top slot of the main body, and a notch is provided at the protruding rib corresponding to the locking block for insertion. An annular groove is provided on the peripheral wall of the pressure cap. When the pressure cap is pressed into the top slot of the main body, the protruding rib is locked into the annular groove to form a limit in the longitudinal direction. The cooperation between the protruding rib and the annular groove improves the stability of the connection between the pressure cap and the main body.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a decorative ring, which is fitted onto the body above the rim of the cup, with the first end of the rope extending from a corresponding perforation on the decorative ring. Adding a decorative ring helps to improve the aesthetics.
[0011] Furthermore, the body is cylindrical and is threadedly connected to the cup cavity wall.
[0012] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided at the bottom of the main body, which abuts against the corresponding cup cavity wall to improve the sealing performance.
[0013] Furthermore, a heat insulation cavity is provided inside the cavity wall of the cup body, a wear-resistant pad is provided at the bottom of the body, and a wear-resistant ring is fitted on the peripheral wall of the body. Increasing the heat insulation cavity helps to improve the heat preservation performance, and increasing the wear-resistant pad and wear-resistant ring helps to improve the wear resistance of the cup body.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in this example, a cup structure includes a cup body 1, a lid 2 for sealing the cup mouth, and a rope 3. A locking block 4 is installed at the end of the rope 3. The locking block is integrally formed with the rope using silicone or other materials. The end of the rope is fixed to the independently formed locking block. The locking block is typically rectangular, but other configurations are also possible.
[0026] The cover 2 includes a body 20 and a pressure cap 21. The body is cylindrical with a groove formed on its top surface. The pressure cap 21 is fixed to the groove at the top of the body 20. In this example, a groove, i.e., a locking groove 26, is formed on the periphery of the pressure cap 21 above the cup mouth. The tail end of the locking groove 26 extends to the bottom surface of the pressure cap 21, and the size of the tail end groove is sufficient for the locking block to enter. For example, the width of the tail end groove is the same as or slightly larger than the width of the locking block. The head end of the locking groove 26 extends to a position adjacent to the top surface of the pressure cap 21, and the locking block can be locked longitudinally by the groove wall at the head end. A rope hole 23 communicating with the groove cavity is formed on the periphery of the body 20 above the cup mouth, and the head end of the rope 3 extends out from the rope hole 23. The size of the rope hole restricts the locking block from disengaging from the rope hole. For example, the width of the rope hole is less than the width of the locking block, or the length of the rope hole is less than the length of the locking block.
[0027] During assembly, if the locking block 4 is placed in the cavity of the main body 20 and the first end of the rope 3 extends from the rope hole 23, the end of the slot 26 on the periphery of the pressure cap 21 is aligned with the locking block and then pressed down. The locking block enters the slot from the end of the slot, thus confining the locking block within the space enclosed by the slot and the side wall of the rope hole. Alternatively, a shoulder 29 can be formed in the top cavity wall of the main body 20 below the rope hole, further enhancing the stability of the locking block by placing the locking block 4 within the space enclosed by the slot 26, the left and right side walls of the rope hole 23, and the shoulder 29.
[0028] To improve the stability of the cap, a protruding rib 27 can be formed on the cavity wall of the top slot of the main body 20. A notch for inserting the card block or rope hole is formed on the protruding rib. An annular groove 28 is formed on the peripheral wall of the cap 21. When the cap is pressed into the top slot of the main body, the protruding rib 27 is inserted into the annular groove 28 to restrict the cap from detaching in the longitudinal direction.
[0029] To enhance aesthetics, a decorative ring 22 can be added. The decorative ring 22 is fitted onto the main body 20 above the cup rim, with the end of the rope extending from the corresponding perforation formed by the decorative ring.
[0030] To enhance functionality, a threaded hole can be formed in the middle of the cap 21, and the threaded hole communicates with the groove of the body 20. The sealing cap 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, allowing for the pre-storage of flavorings such as sugar and coffee powder in the cavity of the cap, which can then be added to the cup as needed. To improve sealing, a sealing gasket 8 is placed on the top surface of the shoulder 29 in this example, and the bottom of the cap 21 abuts against the sealing gasket 8.
[0031] Regarding the connection between the body and the cup mouth, common methods include fitting and fixing, and threaded connections. This example demonstrates the threaded connection between the peripheral wall of the body 20 and the cup mouth wall. A sealing ring 24 can also be fitted at the bottom of the body 20, abutting against the corresponding cup mouth wall to improve sealing. Furthermore, a heat insulation cavity 10 can be formed within the cavity wall of the cup body 1 to improve heat retention.
[0032] To improve wear resistance, a wear-resistant pad 5 can be fixed at the bottom of the body 1, such as by adhesive, and a wear-resistant ring 6 can be fitted on the periphery of the body 1. The wear-resistant pad, wear-resistant ring, etc. can be molded from wear-resistant polymer materials.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within its protection scope.
