Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging technology, specifically to a cup holder. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, when ordering takeout or cold drinks, plastic bags are often soft and lack support, easily collapsing and compressing the cups inside, causing them to tip over and spill, affecting the user experience. Therefore, cup holders are often used to help secure the drinks. Traditional cup holders have significant drawbacks: single cup holders can only accommodate one cup, unable to meet the need for placing two cups simultaneously; double cup holders are mostly a single piece, unable to be separated for individual use, resulting in poor flexibility; and some tearable double cup holders require manual tearing during use, which is cumbersome and easily damaged. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cup holder.
[0004] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A cup holder includes a support and a cup holder body. The support includes a rib, and the inner side of the rib is provided with a first rib. The first rib surrounds the support to form two positioning grooves. The shape of the positioning grooves matches the outer contour of the cup holder body. The cup holder body is disposed in the positioning grooves. The cup holder body includes a receiving cavity. The upper part of the receiving cavity is provided with a second rib, and the bottom of the second rib is provided with a protrusion. The first rib is provided with a groove that matches the protrusion.
[0005] Preferably, the cavity has a structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the cavity wall has an arc-shaped structure.
[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the receiving cavity is provided with reinforcing ribs.
[0007] Preferably, the lower part of the cavity wall is provided with an expansion groove.
[0008] Preferably, the expansion groove has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting block is provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity corresponding to the position of the expansion groove.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: through the combination structure of the bracket and the cup holder body, it can be flexibly adapted to single cup and double cup scenarios. When using a single cup, the cup holder body can support independently without relying on the bracket; when using a double cup, the two cup holder bodies are fastened to the groove on the bracket by the protrusions to achieve a stable combination. The protruding ribs on the bracket can support the outer bag and prevent the cup from tipping over due to the pressure of the bag. Attached Figure Description

[0017] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.
[0018] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and 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 protection scope of this utility model.
[0020] See Figures 1 to 4As shown, the structure of this utility model is as follows: a cup holder, including a support 1 and a cup holder body 2. The support 1 includes a rib 3, which supports the inner wall of an external bag to prevent the bag from squeezing the cup inside. The inner side of the rib 3 is provided with a first protruding edge 4, which forms two positioning grooves 5 on the support 1. The shape of the positioning grooves 5 matches the outer contour of the cup holder body 2, providing a precise installation position for the cup holder body 2. The cup holder body 2 is set in the positioning grooves 5. The cup holder body 2 includes a receiving cavity 6, and the upper part of the receiving cavity 6 is provided with a second protruding edge 12. The bottom of the cup holder 12 has a protrusion 7, and the first protruding edge 4 has a groove 8 that matches the protrusion 7. When the cup holder body 2 is placed into the positioning groove 5, the protrusion 7 is locked into the groove 8 to fix it and prevent the cup holder body 2 from shifting. Specifically, when using a single cup, the cup holder body 2 can be separated from the bracket 1 to independently support the beverage cup; when using two cups, the two cup holder bodies 2 are respectively placed into the two positioning grooves 5 and fixed by the protrusion 7 and the groove 8. Combined with the support of the rib 3 of the bracket 1 for the external bag, the cup is prevented from being squeezed and tipped over, realizing flexible switching between single cup and double cup scenarios.
[0021] Furthermore, the receiving cavity 6 has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 6 has an arc-shaped structure. Specifically, the wider top of the receiving cavity 6 makes it easier to put the beverage cup in, while the narrower bottom and arc-shaped cavity wall can tightly clamp the side wall of the cup, prevent the cup from shaking, and improve the stability of the beverage cup when placed.
[0022] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the receiving cavity 6 is provided with a reinforcing rib 9. Specifically, the reinforcing rib 9 can enhance the structural strength of the bottom of the receiving cavity 6. When the beverage cup is filled with a lot of liquid, the reinforcing rib 9 can resist the deformation caused by the load at the bottom, avoid damage to the cup holder body 2 due to long-term stress, and at the same time ensure stable support for the bottom of the cup.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the lower part of the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 6 is provided with an expansion groove 10. Specifically, the expansion groove 10 gives the lower part of the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 6 a certain elasticity. After the beverage cup is placed into the receiving cavity 6, the cavity wall can deform to form a limiting recess, which improves the stability of the beverage cup. When a beverage cup with a slightly larger diameter is placed in, the cavity wall can slightly expand outward through the expansion groove 10 to expand the receiving space, thereby adapting to cups of different sizes and improving the compatibility of the cup holder with various sizes of beverage cups.
[0024] Furthermore, the expansion groove 10 has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Specifically, the wider part at the top provides greater expansion allowance for the cavity wall, making it easier for the cup to be placed in smoothly; the narrower part at the bottom enhances the clamping force on the cup wall after the cup is placed in place, preventing the cup from being unstable due to excessive expansion, thus balancing the ease of placement and the stability of placement.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a limiting block 11 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 6 corresponding to the position of the expansion groove 10. Specifically, after the cup is placed in, the limiting block 11 can be locked into the bottom of the cup to restrict the movement of the cup, ensuring that the cup is fixed in position within the cavity 6, thereby enabling the cavity wall of the cavity 6 to firmly hold the cup wall, significantly enhancing the stability of the beverage cup placement.
[0026] In practical use, when using a single cup, simply take one cup holder body 2 and place the beverage cup vertically into the receiving cavity 6 of the cup holder body 2. The arc-shaped cavity wall of the receiving cavity 6 will fit against the side wall of the cup to form a preliminary fixation. At this time, the cup holder body 2 does not need to rely on the support 1 and can independently support the beverage cup. It can be directly placed into the external packaging bag. The cup holder body 2 is similar in size to the bag and can support the bag. Even if the bag shakes slightly, the cup is not easy to tip over, thus meeting the needs of taking a single cup out. When using the double cup, first take two cup holder bodies 2 and place the two beverages into the corresponding receiving cavities 6 respectively; then place the two cup holder bodies 2 into the positioning grooves 5, so that the protrusions 7 on the second protrusion 12 are aligned with the grooves 8 on the first protrusion 4, and gently press the cup holder bodies 2 until the protrusions 7 are completely engaged with the grooves 8, thus fixing the cup holder bodies 2 to the bracket 1; finally, place the assembled bracket 1, including the two cup holder bodies 2 and the beverage cups, into the outer packaging bag. At this time, the ribs 3 support the bag and prevent the bag from squeezing the cups inside. Through the above operations, without complicated disassembly or assembly, the switching between single cup and double cup scenarios can be quickly realized, effectively avoiding the problems of poor adaptability and easy tipping of traditional cup holders, and improving the convenience and safety of takeout or delivery.
[0027] The present invention has been further described above with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as limiting the substance and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
