Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper cup holder technology, specifically to a paper cup storage module. Background Technology

[0002] Disposable paper cups are a common drinking tool in many households and public places. To make it easier to use disposable cups, they are usually stacked in a paper cup holder. When you need to use a disposable cup, you can simply pull out the cup at the bottom of the holder.

[0003] Paper cup holders and other paper cup storage modules typically stack paper cups in a cylindrical or trough-shaped cavity. A pushing mechanism, such as a spiral pusher plate or telescopic rod, continuously applies pressure, causing the outermost paper cup to protrude from the opening of the holder for the user to retrieve. Once the outermost paper cup is removed, the pushing mechanism moves the remaining stack of paper cups laterally, allowing the next paper cup to reach its retrieval position. For example, Chinese utility model application number 202420551318.8 (authorization announcement number CN222425788U), entitled "A Punch-Free Dustproof Paper Cup Holder," shows a paper cup container with a sealing top cover at its top opening. Hinges symmetrically mounted on one side wall of the paper cup container and the sealing top cover facilitate the flipping of the sealing top cover.

[0004] However, when users take the desired paper cup from the cup holder, the cups that are against the outer cups are often pulled out along with it, resulting in multiple cups being taken out at once. This problem of multiple cups popping out together not only wastes paper cups and increases usage costs, but also forces users to manually separate the sticky cups, severely reducing efficiency and user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a paper cup storage module that does not stick together and bring out multiple paper cups, in light of the above-mentioned technical status.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a paper cup storage module, comprising...

[0007] The cylindrical body has a receiving cavity for storing paper cups, and one end forms a cup outlet communicating with the receiving cavity; the top of the outer periphery of the paper cup protrudes outward to form a cup rim;

[0008] The cup dispensing assembly is located on the cylinder and is used to dispense paper cups;

[0009] The cup-dispensing assembly is characterized by comprising:

[0010] A cup-winding spring is at least partially disposed within the receiving cavity, and the end of the cup-winding spring near the cup outlet forms a limiting portion for engaging the rim of the paper cup;

[0011] The driving component has a power output end connected to the cup-rolling spring; the driving component drives the cup-rolling spring to rotate, and the paper cup is sent out from the cup outlet as the cup-rolling spring rotates, causing the outermost cup edge of the paper cup to disengage from the limiting part.

[0012] To control the dispensing of the cup by the dispensing assembly, preferably, the dispensing assembly further includes a control component electrically connected to the drive component, the control component receiving external signals and controlling the opening and closing of the drive component according to the external signals.

[0013] Preferably, the receiving cavity is provided with a rotatable swinging member, the swinging member having at least two states:

[0014] When the swinging member is in the locked state, the swinging member abuts against the paper cup, thereby keeping the rim of the paper cup overlapping the cup-rolling spring;

[0015] When the swinging component is in a free state, it is detached from the paper cup.

[0016] To facilitate the user's rotation of the swing component and prevent it from rotating freely, preferably, the end of the swing component is formed with a swing arm that is easy to grip, and correspondingly, the end of the cylinder is formed with a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove for mounting the swing arm.

[0017] When the swing arm is positioned in the first limiting groove, the swing component is in a locked state.

[0018] When the swing arm is positioned in the second limiting groove, the swinging component is in a free state.

[0019] There are various ways to rotatably connect the swing element to the cylinder. Preferably, the swing element has a rotating rod rotatably mounted on the cylinder.

[0020] To make the structure compact, preferably, a baffle plate is fixed at the end of the cylinder away from the cup outlet, and a clearance opening for the clearance control component is provided on the outer periphery of the cylinder away from the cup outlet. Both the control component and the drive component are located on the baffle plate.

[0021] In order to deliver one paper cup with each rotation of the edge-rolling spring, preferably, the spring pitch of the cup-rolling spring is equal to the stacking height H of the paper cups, where the stacking height H is the distance between the edges of two adjacent cups.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the cup feeding assembly facilitates control of the number of cups fed out: the paper cup is placed on the cup winding spring and is conveyed outward as the cup winding spring rotates, while the drive unit controls the rotation of the cup winding spring, thereby controlling the number of cups fed outward by controlling the rotation angle and number of turns of the cup winding spring, realizing automatic control of cup feeding; the end of the cup winding spring near the cup feeding port forms a limiting part for locking the rim of the paper cup, which can limit the paper cup. When taking out the cup, it can restrict the paper cup and prevent the paper cup to be taken out from sticking with the internal paper cup and avoid waste. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1-6 The diagram shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The paper cup storage module includes a cylinder 1, a cup dispensing assembly 2, and a swinging component 3.

[0031] The cylinder 1 has a receiving cavity 11 for receiving multiple paper cups 100 stacked together, and a cup outlet 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11 is formed at one end; the top of the outer periphery of the paper cup 100 protrudes outward to form a cup rim 101; a baffle plate 13 is fixed at the end of the cylinder 1 away from the cup outlet 12, and a clearance opening 16 for a clearance control member 23 is provided on the outer periphery of the cylinder 1 away from the cup outlet 12, and both the control member 23 and the drive member 22 are provided on the baffle plate 13.

[0032] The cup dispensing assembly 2 is mounted on the cylinder 1 and is used to dispense paper cups 100. The cup dispensing assembly 2 includes a cup-winding spring 21, a driving component 22, and a control component 23. The spring pitch of the cup-winding spring 21 is equal to the stacking height H of the paper cups 100 (the distance between two adjacent cup rims 101), so that the cup-winding spring 21 dispenses one paper cup 100 per revolution. The spiral structure of the cup-winding spring 21 forms multiple mounting cavities 212 for placing the cup rims 101 of the paper cups 100, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the rim 101 of each paper cup 100 is located in the mounting cavity 212, and the cup body of the paper cup 100 abuts against the cup spring 21.

[0033] A cup-winding spring 21 is at least partially disposed within the receiving cavity 11. The end of the cup-winding spring 21 near the cup outlet 12 forms a semi-circular limiting portion 211 for engaging the cup rim 101 of the paper cup 100. The power output end of the driving member 22 is connected to the cup-winding spring 21. The driving member 22 drives the cup-winding spring 21 to rotate, and the paper cup 100 is dispensed from the cup outlet 12 as the cup-winding spring 21 rotates. A control member 23 is electrically connected to the driving member 22. The control member 23 receives external signals and controls the opening and closing of the driving member 22 according to the external signals. The driving member 22 can have various forms; in this embodiment, the driving member 22 is a motor.

[0034] The swing member 3 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11 via a rotating rod 32 rotatably mounted on the cylinder 1. The swing member 3 is rod-shaped and capable of eccentric swinging. The end of the swing member 3 forms a swing arm 31 for easy gripping. Correspondingly, the end of the cylinder 1 forms a first limiting groove 14 and a second limiting groove 15 for mounting the swing arm 31. The user can grip the swing arm 31 to drive the swing member 3 to rotate, so that the swing arm 31 is located within the first limiting groove 14 or the second limiting groove 15.

[0035] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, when the swing member 3 is in the locked state, the swing rod 31 is located in the first limiting groove 14, and the swing member 3 abuts against the paper cup 100, so that the cup rim 101 of the paper cup 100 is kept overlapping the cup-rolling spring 21, and the paper cup 100 is limited between the swing member 3 and the cup-rolling spring 21, and will not be affected by external forces to move its position or freely detach from this paper cup storage module. When an external device transmits a cup-taking signal to the control unit 23, the control unit 23 controls the drive unit 22 to open after receiving the signal, thereby controlling the cup-rolling spring 21 to rotate one revolution around the central axis, driving the paper cup 100 to move outward. The outermost paper cup 100 is disengaged from the locking state of the limiting part 211, and the paper cup 100 adjacent to the outermost paper cup 100 is limited by the limiting part 211, so that the user can take out one paper cup 100 at a time.

[0037] like Figure 6As shown, when the swing member 3 is in a free state, the swing rod 31 is located in the second limiting groove 15, and the swing member 3 is separated from the paper cup 100. At this time, the user can put the stacked paper cup group into the cup outlet 12 of the cylinder 1. After the cups are placed, the user can operate the swing member 3 to the locked state.
