Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mug technology, and in particular to a mug with improved handle connection strength. Background Technology

[0002] A mug is a type of cup, specifically a large-handled cup. The English word for mug is "mug," hence the translation. Mugs are a common household cup, generally used for hot drinks such as milk, coffee, and tea. They are made of materials such as porcelain, enamel, glass, stainless steel, or plastic. When mugs are made of pure porcelain or glazed porcelain, the handle is glued to the mug before firing, and then the mug is formed as a single piece. When mugs are made of glass, the handle is glued to the mug during the firing process, before cooling, fusing the mug and handle into one piece. When mugs are made of plastic, the mug and handle are formed as a single piece using a one-piece molding process. These mugs with one-piece mug and handles have a small connection area between the handle and the mug, making them prone to breakage during use. The connection strength is low, and the handle and mug must be made of the same material, limiting material choices and leading to functional compromises. Especially when the mug material has high thermal conductivity, the handle of the same material will transfer excessive heat, causing burns and reducing safety and comfort. It also stifles design innovation and aesthetic diversity, limiting the design to a single, curved strip handle, resulting in a monotonous shape and making it impossible to reduce cost and weight. When mugs are made of stainless steel, the handle needs to be welded to the mug using a spot welding process. The connection area is also small, making it prone to breakage. Welding can also easily penetrate the mug or handle, making the manufacturing process complex and costly. Therefore, improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] A mug with improved handle connection strength, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a cup 1 and a handle 2 located on one side of the cup 1. Two insertion slots 11 are provided on one side of the cup 1, and the two insertion slots 11 are arranged vertically at intervals. Each insertion slot 11 is provided with a reinforcing protrusion 12, and each reinforcing protrusion 12 forms an insertion gap with the inner wall of each insertion slot 11. A handle connecting part 21 is provided on one side of the handle 21, and two insertion protrusions 22 are provided on the side of the handle connecting part 21 facing the cup 1. Each insertion protrusion 22 is provided with a reinforcing groove 23 on the side of the cup 1, and each insertion protrusion 22 is inserted into the corresponding insertion gap, and the reinforcing protrusion 12 is inserted into the reinforcing groove 23. Traditional mugs have a one-piece structure for the cup 1 and handle 2, which limits the choice of materials and leads to compromises in functionality. Especially when the cup material has high thermal conductivity, the handle of the same material will transfer excessive heat, causing burns and reducing safety and comfort. It also stifles design innovation and aesthetic diversity, limiting the design to a single, curved strip shape, which cannot reduce cost and weight. Furthermore, welding the handle 2 is complex, carries the risk of burn-through, has poor connection strength, and is prone to breakage. In contrast, this invention uses a double mechanical interlocking structure between the cup 1 and handle 2 through the nested engagement of the insertion groove 11 and the insertion protrusion 22, and the secondary engagement of the reinforcing protrusion 12 and the reinforcing groove 23. This increases the connection area between the handle 2 and the cup 1, improving connection strength. The separate structure of the cup 1 and handle 2 allows them to be made of different materials, relaxing material limitations, avoiding burns caused by heat-conducting materials, improving safety and comfort, and facilitating the creation of handles of different shapes, thus enhancing aesthetic diversity.

[0034] Specifically, the connecting surfaces 211 between the cup 1 and the handle 2 are provided with an adhesive layer, and the cup 1 and the handle 2 are fixed together by the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer covers the entire connecting surface and works in conjunction with the mechanical interlock to form a dual chemical and physical fixing structure, further improving the connection strength.

[0035] Specifically, the handle connector 21 has a connecting surface 211 on the side facing the cup 1. The connecting surface 211 matches the outer surface of the cup 1 and is attached to the outer surface of the cup 1. The insertion protrusion 22 is provided on the connecting surface 211. By increasing the connection area between the handle 2 and the cup 1 through the connecting surface 211, the local pressure exerted by the handle 2 on the cup 1 is reduced, local stress concentration is avoided, the risk of handle 2 breakage is reduced, and reliability and stability are improved. It can also eliminate gaps, resulting in a smoother appearance and improved aesthetics. The connecting surface 211 can also increase the bonding area, further improving the connection strength.

[0036] Specifically, the insertion groove 11 is cylindrical, the reinforcing protrusion 12 is cylindrical, and the reinforcing protrusion 12 is coaxially arranged with the insertion groove 11. Correspondingly, the insertion protrusion 22 is cylindrical, and the reinforcing groove 23 is cylindrical. The cylindrical insertion groove 11 and reinforcing protrusion 12 have simple structures, are easy to mold or machine, and reduce production costs. The coaxial arrangement of the reinforcing protrusion 12 with the insertion groove 11 improves the uniformity of force during insertion and enhances the resistance to rotation.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the outer end of the reinforcing protrusion 12 abuts against the bottom of the reinforcing groove 23. A first filling gap 31 exists between the outer wall of the reinforcing protrusion 12 and the inner wall of the reinforcing groove 23. A second filling gap 32 exists between the outer end of the insertion protrusion 22 and the bottom of the insertion groove 11. A third filling gap 33 exists between the outer wall of the insertion protrusion 22 and the inner wall of the insertion groove 11. The first filling gap 31 and the third filling gap 33 are connected through the second filling gap 32 to form a filling chamber. Adhesive is filled within the filling chamber and between the connecting surface 211 and the cup 1, forming an adhesive layer. The adhesive fills the filling chamber and the gap between the connecting surface 211 and the cup 1, forming a continuous internal adhesive skeleton, improving the overall integrity of the connection area and increasing the bonding strength. After the adhesive cures, it forms a rigid support, eliminating the risk of loosening caused by fretting wear of the components.

[0038] Specifically, the connecting surface 211 has an annular filling groove 24, which is located around the insertion protrusion 22. The annular filling groove 24 communicates with the third filling gap 33 and is filled with adhesive. The annular filling groove 24 forms an adhesive sealing ring around the insertion protrusion 22, preventing edge peeling, improving impact resistance, preventing liquid from entering the filling chamber, preventing bacterial growth, and further increasing the volume of the adhesive skeleton, thereby further improving the connection strength.

[0039] Specifically, the handle 2 is also provided with a decorative part 26, which is located next to the handle connecting part 21. The decorative part 26 is provided with raised parts or grooves in the shape of patterns or text. The decorative part 26 can be used for personalization and beautification, increasing plasticity and improving aesthetics.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] A mug with improved handle connection strength, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, this embodiment has a structure that is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that in this embodiment, the cup 1 has two insertion slots 11 on one side, which are spaced apart vertically. The handle 2 has two handle connecting parts 21 spaced apart on the side facing the cup 1. Each handle connecting part 21 has at least one insertion protrusion 22, and the insertion protrusions 22 of the two handle connecting parts 21 are respectively inserted into the corresponding insertion slots 11. By setting two handle connecting parts 21, this embodiment can adapt to the traditional arc-shaped handle 2, increase the distance between the two insertion slots 11, and improve the uniformity of force on the cup 1.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] A mug with improved handle connection strength, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment has a structure that is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that in this embodiment, a plug-in groove 11 is provided on one side of the cup 1, and a handle connecting part 21 is provided on one side of the handle 2. The plug-in groove 11 is a figure-eight shaped plug-in groove 11. Two cylindrical reinforcing protrusions 12 are provided in the plug-in groove 11. The two reinforcing protrusions 12 form a figure-eight shaped plug-in gap with the inner wall of the plug-in groove 11. Correspondingly, the handle connecting part 21 is provided with two plug-in protrusions 22. The two plug-in protrusions 22 are connected as one piece and match the figure-eight shaped plug-in groove 11. The two reinforcing protrusions 12 are respectively inserted into the reinforcing grooves 23 of the two plug-in protrusions 22. The figure-eight shaped plug-in groove 11 and the two reinforcing protrusions 12 form a distributed anchoring structure, which is more stable when bearing multi-directional loads. The two plug-in protrusions 22 are connected as one piece to avoid the risk of single-point failure, which is especially suitable for large-capacity mugs or mugs with small handles 2.

[0044] Example 4

[0045] A mug with improved handle connection strength, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, this embodiment has a structure that is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that the connecting surface 211 is also provided with multiple reinforcing filling grooves 25, and each reinforcing filling groove 25 is filled with glue. The reinforcing filling grooves 25 form a glue reinforcing rib network, which further evenly distributes the load, reduces the risk of cracking, and improves the connection strength.
