[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments, so that the advantages and features of the present utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the protection scope of the present utility model. Obviously, the embodiments described in this utility model are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0027] Example 1: The specific structure of this utility model is as follows:

[0028] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 1-2 This utility model discloses a folding cup with an elastic support structure, comprising a cup body 4 and a cup lid 1. The cup body 4 is foldable, with its closed end connected to a base 5 and its open end connected to a rigid structural member 2, forming an outer step between the rigid structural member 2 and the open end. The folding cup also includes an elastic structural member 3, which is sleeved on the outside of the cup body 4. Its first end abuts against the outer step, and its second end abuts against the annular surface of the base 5. The elastic structural member 3 can unfold the cup body 4 when not subjected to external force. One or both of the cup lid 1 and the base 5 have storage space, which is sufficient to accommodate the compressed elastic structural member 3 and the folded cup body 4. The cup lid 1 and the base 5 are detachably connected.

[0029] The cup body 4 includes one of the following: a waterproof cloth folding cup body, a waterproof membrane folding cup body, a waterproof membrane + cloth combination cup body, or a silicone folding cup body. The cup body 4 is a food-grade cup body; the waterproof cloth folding cup body has a food-grade cloth surface. The waterproof membrane folding cup body has a food-grade PE waterproof membrane. Both the waterproof cloth folding cup body and the waterproof membrane folding cup body form wrinkles when folded, resulting in wrinkled marks on the surface when unfolded.

[0030] The structure of the waterproof membrane + cloth combination cup body includes an outer cloth surface and an inner waterproof membrane. The outer cloth surface is made of food-grade cloth, and the inner waterproof membrane is made of food-grade PE waterproof membrane.

[0031] The rigid structural component 2 includes either a plastic ring or a metal ring. Both the plastic ring and the metal ring are food-grade. When the rigid structural component 2 is a plastic ring, it is made of food-grade PP. When the rigid structural component 2 is made of a metal ring, it is made of food-grade 304 stainless steel.

[0032] The elastic structural component 3 is a spring, which is made of food-grade stainless steel. In its natural state, the spring is in an extended state, which expands the cup body 4.

[0033] The cup lid 1 is made of food-grade PP material, and its interior is hollow to form a storage space. Its inner wall is provided with internal threads, and the outer wall of the base 5 is provided with external threads. The cup lid 1 and the base 5 are detachably connected by threads.

[0034] When only the lid 1 has storage space, manually compress the spring of the lid 1 to fold the cup body 4. The folded cup body 4 and the compressed spring enter the storage space of the lid 1, and tighten the base 5 to complete the storage.

[0035] When only the base 5 has a built-in storage space, manually compress the spring of the lid 1 to fold the cup body 4. The folded cup body 4 and the compressed spring enter the storage space of the base 5. Tighten the base 5 to complete the storage.

[0036] When both the lid 1 and the base 5 have storage space, manually compress the spring of the lid 1 to fold the cup body 4. The folded cup body 4 and the compressed spring part enter the storage space of the lid 1, and the other part enters the storage space of the base 5. Tighten the base 5 to complete the storage. Example 2:

[0037] The structure of the silicone collapsible cup body is such that adjacent lower folding sections can be folded into upper folding sections to form a folding structure. The silicone collapsible cup body is made of food-grade silicone material, which has good flexibility. The mouth of the silicone collapsible cup body is connected to a PP plastic ring, specifically, the PP plastic ring is connected to the mouth end of the silicone collapsible cup body through an injection molding process. Example 3:

[0038] The elastic structural component 3 can also be a high-hardness plastic spring, and the strength of the plastic spring can also meet the requirements: in its natural state, the plastic spring is in an extended state, which expands the cup body 4. Example 4:

[0039] When none of the components of the folding cup of this utility model are made of food-grade materials, the folding cup of this utility model can be made into a large-sized product and used as a storage bucket. In this case, the material of the cup body 4 can be a non-waterproof cloth.

[0040] In summary, this utility model allows the cup body to automatically unfold after the lid is opened: the spring sleeved on the outside of the cup body provides elastic support, and the cup body can automatically unfold after the external force (such as opening the lid) is released, without the need for manual operation, making it more convenient to use.

[0041] This utility model provides stable support for the folding cup: the spring, rigid structural components, and base work together to form a stable support structure, making it less prone to deformation when filled with liquid and improving its stability during use.

[0042] This utility model folding cup is easy to store: one or both of the cup lid and the base have internal storage spaces, which can store the folded cup body and the compressed spring as a whole. The cup lid and the base are detachable to prevent the parts from falling out and make it easy to carry.

[0043] This utility model folding cup is safe and durable: the cup body is made of waterproof and wear-resistant material, and the rigid structural parts are made of food-grade material, taking into account both safety and service life.
