[0008] A sliding limiter is slidably mounted on the lower end of the elastic arm and has a second support portion for supporting the rim of the cup. The sliding limiter is located above the swing limiter.

[0009] The linkage mechanism is used to connect and drive the swing limiter and the sliding limiter. When the lower part of the first support part separates from the bottom surface of the cup rim of the bottom cup, the second support part of the sliding limiter moves to above the cup rim of the bottom cup to support and limit the cup above.

[0010] The first elastic element has one end abutting against the elastic arm and the other end abutting against the sliding limit element. It is used to drive the sliding limit element to reset after the cup is removed, so that the second support part moves out of the cup rim and the first support part moves to the cup rim.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a second elastic element is provided between the elastic arm and the inner wall of the storage cup cavity;

[0012] One end of the second elastic element abuts against the elastic arm, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the storage cup cavity;

[0013] The second elastic element is located above the sliding limit element.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the elastic arm has a recessed groove for accommodating the end of the second elastic member, or a protrusion that is sleeved with the end of the second elastic member.

[0015] The inner wall of the storage cup cavity has a recessed groove for accommodating the end of the second elastic member, or a protrusion that is sleeved with the end of the second elastic member.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, mounting side plates are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the limiting drag arm, and an installation area is formed between the two mounting side plates.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide post is provided on the limiting drag arm, and the sliding limiting member and the first elastic member are both sleeved on the guide post.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the linkage mechanism is a push block, which abuts against a sliding limiting member;

[0023] The sliding limiting member is located between the push block and the first elastic member;

[0024] The push block is mounted on the swing limiter.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the sliding limiting member has a through hole that engages with the guide post.

[0026] The push block includes two pressing parts, which are located on both sides of the through hole.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top end of the elastic arm is provided with a plug-in part, the inner wall of the cup cavity is provided with a slot that can be plugged into the plug-in part, the plug-in part is vertically placed, the plug-in part is provided with a locking protrusion, and the slot arm of the slot is provided with a locking groove that can be locked by the locking protrusion.

[0028] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a paper cup holder, comprising:

[0033] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0034] Each elastic arm is circumferentially distributed within the cup storage cavity, forming a limiting zone for the cup to pass through. A swing limiting member, rotatably mounted on the lower end of the elastic arm, has a first supporting portion for supporting the cup rim. A sliding limiting member, slidably mounted on the lower end of the elastic arm, has a second supporting portion for supporting the cup rim, and is located above the swing limiting member. The swing limiting member and the sliding limiting member are connected and driven by a linkage mechanism and are driven to reset by the first elastic member. When the cup is removed, the bottommost cup moves down, and the rim of this cup causes the first supporting portion to swing away from the cup, causing the swing limiting member to separate from the bottommost cup. The swing of the first limiting member... The linkage mechanism synchronously drives the sliding limiter to slide towards the cup and compresses the first elastic member, causing the second support part to move above the rim of the bottom cup. This supports and limits the rim of the upper cup, preventing the upper cup from being removed along with the bottom cup. After the bottom cup is removed, the first elastic member drives the sliding limiter and the swing limiter to reset through the linkage mechanism, causing the second support part to move out from the rim and the first support part to move to the rim. This sliding and swinging cup-removing device can restrict the upper cup when removing the bottom cup, ensuring that only one cup is removed at a time, greatly improving the user experience.

[0041] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0042] To address the issue that existing paper cup holders may result in the removal of two or more cups at once, this embodiment provides a sliding cup-dispensing device 100. When removing the bottom cup, it can restrict the removal of the upper cups to ensure that only one cup is removed at a time, greatly improving the user experience.

[0043] It should be noted that the disposable cup has a convex rim on the outer periphery of the top. This sliding cup dispensing device 100 restricts the cup by supporting the rim.

[0044] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a sliding cup dispensing device 100 is described:

[0045] At least two elastic arms 110 are provided, and each elastic arm 110 is evenly distributed around the circumference and installed in the cup cavity 210.

[0046] The swing limiter 120 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the elastic arm 110 and has a first support portion 121 for supporting the rim of the cup.

[0047] The sliding limit member 130 is slidably mounted on the lower end of the elastic arm 110 and has a second support portion 131 for supporting the rim of the cup. The sliding limit member 130 is located above the swing limit member 120.

[0048] The linkage mechanism is used to connect and drive the swing limiter 120 and the sliding limiter 130. When the lower part of the first support 121 separates from the bottom surface of the cup rim of the bottom cup, the second support 131 of the sliding limiter 130 moves to above the cup rim of the bottom cup to support and limit the cup above.

[0049] The first elastic member 140 abuts against the elastic arm 110 at one end and against the sliding limit member 130 at the other end. It is used to drive the sliding limit member 130 to reset after the cup is removed, so that the second support part 131 moves out of the cup rim and the first support part 121 moves to the cup rim.

[0050] When retrieving a cup, the bottom cup moves downwards, and its rim causes the first support part 121 to swing away from the cup, separating the swing limiting member 120 from the bottom cup. The swing of the first limiting member, through the linkage mechanism, simultaneously drives the sliding limiting member 130 to slide towards the cup and compresses the first elastic member 140, causing the second support part 131 to move above the rim of the bottom cup, thereby supporting and limiting the rim of the upper cup and preventing the upper cup from being taken out along with the bottom cup. After the bottom cup is taken out, the first elastic member 140 drives the sliding limiting member 130 and the swing limiting member 120 to reset through the linkage mechanism, causing the second support part 131 to move out from the rim and the first support part 121 to move to the rim. This sliding cup retrieving and separating device 100 can restrict the upper cup when retrieving the bottom cup, ensuring that only one cup is taken out at a time, greatly improving the user experience.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a second elastic element 160 is provided between the elastic arm 110 and the inner wall of the storage cup cavity 210;

[0052] The second elastic member 160 has one end abutting against the elastic arm 110 and the other end abutting against the inner wall of the storage cup cavity 210;

[0053] The second elastic element 160 is located above the sliding limit element 130. Specifically, the limiting arm is an inclined elastic arm 110. The upper end of the limiting arm is connected to the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210, and the lower end is away from the inner wall of the cup storage cavity 210. The second elastic element 160 can drive the elastic arm 110 to fit against the bottommost paper cup.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, to ensure the installation stability of the elastic element and avoid misalignment during use, the elastic arm 110 has a recess 600 for accommodating the end of the second elastic element 160, or the elastic arm 110 has a protrusion 500 that sleeves with the end of the second elastic element 160; the inner wall of the reservoir cavity 210 has a recess 600 for accommodating the end of the second elastic element 160, or the inner wall of the reservoir cavity 210 has a protrusion 500 that sleeves with the end of the second elastic element 160. Specifically, in the first embodiment, a groove 600 is provided on the elastic arm 110, and a protrusion 500 is provided on the inner wall of the storage cup cavity 210; in the second embodiment, a protrusion 500 is provided on the elastic arm 110, and a groove 600 is provided on the inner wall of the storage cup cavity 210; in the third embodiment, both the elastic arm 110 and the inner wall of the storage cup cavity 210 are provided with protrusions 500; and in the fourth embodiment, both the elastic arm 110 and the inner wall of the storage cup cavity 210 are provided with grooves 600.

[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, mounting side plates 112 are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the limiting drag arm, and the two mounting side plates 112 form an installation area.

[0056] Both the swing limiting member 120 and the sliding limiting member 130 are disposed within the installation area;

[0057] The swing limiting member 120 is rotatably connected to the mounting side plate 112, and the sliding limiting member 130 is slidably engaged with the mounting side plate 112.

[0058] The bottom end of the limiting drag arm and the mounting side plate 112 form a channel 111 for the first support part 121 and the second support part 131 to pass through.

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, to ensure the stable sliding of the sliding limit member 130, a sliding groove 113 is provided on the mounting side plate 112. The sliding limit member 130 has a slider part, which slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 113. A guide post 150 is provided on the limiting drag arm. The sliding limit member 130 and the first elastic member 140 are both sleeved on the guide post 150. The guide post 150 can limit and guide the sliding limit member 130 and restrict the first elastic member 140 to prevent the first elastic member 140 from moving or misaligning.

[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, the linkage mechanism is a push block 122, which abuts against the sliding limit member 130;

[0061] The sliding limiting member 130 is located between the push block 122 and the first elastic member 140;

[0062] The push block 122 is disposed on the swing limiting member 120. The push block 122 and the first support 121 are respectively disposed at both ends of the swing limiting member 120. The middle part of the swing limiting member is rotatably engaged with the mounting side via the shaft. When the first support 121 swings down (swings away from the cup), the push block 122 swings up (swings toward the cup) and simultaneously pushes the sliding limiting member 130 toward the cup. During this process, the first elastic member 140 is compressed and the second support 131 extends out to support and limit the cup above.

[0063] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, the sliding limit member 130 has a through hole that is sleeved with the guide post 150; in order to stably push the sliding limit member 130, the push block 122 includes two pressing parts, which are disposed on both sides of the through hole.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the top end of the elastic arm 110 is provided with a plug-in part 114, and the inner wall of the cup cavity 210 is provided with a slot that can be plugged into the plug-in part 114. The plug-in part 114 is vertically placed, and a locking protrusion 115 is provided on the plug-in part 114. The slot arm is provided with a locking groove that can be latched by the locking protrusion 115.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment also provides a paper cup holder, which includes:

[0066] The cup holder 200 has a cup storage cavity 210 for storing paper cups. The bottom of the cup storage cavity 210 is provided with a sliding cup dispensing device 100 as described above. The cup dispensing device gives the paper cup holder a cup dispensing function. When taking out the bottom cup, the cup dispensing device can restrict the cups above to ensure that only one cup is taken out at a time, which greatly improves the user experience of the product.

[0067] The cup opening is located at the top or around the cup cylinder 200 and communicates with the cup storage cavity 210 to replenish the cup to the cup storage cavity 210;

[0068] The cup opening 220 is located at the bottom of the cup cylinder 200 and is connected to the cup storage cavity 210 for removing the cup;

[0069] The door 300 is located at the cup opening and is used to open and close the cup opening. It is rotatably or detachably connected to the cup holder 200.

[0070] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, to facilitate the production and manufacturing of paper cup holders, the sliding cup dispensing device 100 also includes a support 400. The support 400 is sleeve-shaped and is installed inside the cup storage cavity 210. The elastic arm 110 is installed on the inner wall of the support 400. In practical applications, the support 400 is installed in the inner cavity of the cup cylinder 200 near the cup dispensing opening 220.
