[0042] This application provides a portable beverage container, into which beverages (such as ice cubes and corresponding juices, sparkling water, wine, etc.) can be added simultaneously. By sealing the container with a lid on the liquid inlet at the top of the container, a good cold-keeping effect can be achieved for the beverages inside.

[0043] The bottom of the bucket has a liquid outlet and a base. The base is connected to the handle on the bucket in a liftable manner, so when you need to get the drink from the bucket, you only need to raise the bucket first, and then the base will support and fix it. You can then use a cup to get the drink from the liquid outlet at the bottom, making the drinking process very convenient.

[0044] Please refer to the details. Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figures show the three-dimensional structure of the portable beverage bucket provided in the embodiments of this application in both the lowered and raised states. Figure 3 The cross-sectional structure of the beverage container in its raised state is shown. As shown in the figure, the beverage container 100 includes: a base 110, a container body 120, a lid 130, and a locking element 140.

[0045] The barrel 120 is the main structure for holding ice and beverages, and it can be configured as a double-layer structure, that is, containing... Figure 3 The outer shell 121 and inner liner 122 shown are used to hold ice and drinks in the inner liner 122 to keep the inside cold. Of course, the bucket body 120 can also be a single-layer structure made of insulation material, which is not limited here.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the container 120 has a liquid inlet 123, and the bottom of the container 120 has a liquid outlet 124, so that the user can collect the beverage from the bottom of the liquid outlet 124. A one-way valve 125, such as a spring-loaded one-way valve, a ball-type one-way valve, or a lift-type check valve, can be installed on the liquid outlet 124 to control the opening and closing of the liquid outlet 124.

[0047] A lid 130 is positioned over the liquid inlet 123 to seal the interior of the container 120. A handle 131 is provided on the lid 130, allowing the user to easily carry the beverage container 100. Furthermore, the handle 131 is rotatably connected to the lid 130. When the beverage container 100 needs to be stored, rotating the handle 131 to fit against the outer circumference of the lid 130 reduces the overall space occupied by the beverage container 100, making it easier to store and organize.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the barrel body 120 is positioned above the base 110, and the base 110 extends upward to provide a support rod 111. The barrel body 120 has a handle 126 on its side, and the handle 126 is vertically and vertically connected to the support rod 111.

[0049] The locking element 140 is used to connect with the handle 126 and the support rod 111 after the bucket body 120 and the handle 126 have been raised or lowered relative to the support rod 111 to lock and fix the handle 126 to the support rod 111. The base 110 can adopt the partially annular structure shown in the figure, or it can adopt a plate-shaped or block-shaped structure, etc. The specific design is not limited here, as long as it can stably support the bucket body 120 after it is raised.

[0050] In some embodiments, the bottom of the bucket 120 may have a receiving groove that matches the contour of the base 110. When the handle 126 is lowered to the lowest position of the support rod 111, the base 110 can be completely inserted into the receiving groove, thereby hiding the base 110 and making the bottom of the beverage bucket 100 flat and its appearance neat and beautiful.

[0051] The barrel body 120 is fixed at Figure 1 When positioned low as shown, it does not take up too much space, making it easy to store and carry.

[0052] In use, first place the beverage container 100 on a countertop or the ground, then raise the handle 126 to elevate the container 120 relative to the base 110. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Once the indicated height is reached, the handle 126 is locked and fixed to the support rod 111 by the locking member 140. At this time, the bucket body 120 will be held in a higher position with the support of the base 110 and the support rod 111. The user can then easily place the cup into the space at the bottom of the bucket body 120 and collect the beverage from the liquid outlet 124.

[0053] exist Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment shown, a hollow handle 126 is used, and a socket 1261 is provided at the bottom of the handle 126. The support rod 111 can be inserted into the handle 126 through the socket 1261.

[0054] In this embodiment, the support rod 111 is height-adjustable and inserted into the handle 126, which allows the bucket body 120 and the handle 126 to be lowered to... Figure 1 As shown in the low position, when carrying the beverage bucket 100, the support rod 111 can be better hidden in the handle 126, forming a hidden lifting structure, making the handle 126 look more aesthetically pleasing.

[0055] Alternatively, the support rod 111 can be sleeved from the bottom to the handle 126 to achieve the lifting connection between the two, that is, the handle 126 can be inserted into the support rod 111 from the top. Or, the handle 126 and the support rod 111 can be lifted and lowered by using a sliding rail and slider assembly method.

[0056] For the locking member 140 to lock the handle 126 and the support rod 111 together, the locking member 140 can be movably inserted through the side wall of the handle 126, and the direction of movement of the locking member 140 ( Figure 3 The direction indicated by the double arrow X) and the lifting direction of handle 126 ( Figure 3 (The direction indicated by the double arrow Z) is perpendicular to the handle 126. After the handle 126 is raised or lowered to its position, the user can operate the locking member 140 to move it relative to the handle 126 and limit its connection with the support rod 111 located inside the handle 126, so as to lock and fix the handle 126 on the support rod 111.

[0057] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 for Figure 3 A magnified view at point A. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the handle 126 and the support rod 111 in the horizontal direction. In the specific embodiment shown in the figure, the side wall of the support rod 111 has a vertically extending groove 1111, and the two side walls of the groove 1111 extend towards each other at the groove opening 1112 to form a clamping plate 1113. The locking member 140 includes a screw 141 and a nut 142. The screw 141 is rotatably inserted into the side wall of the handle 126, and the nut 142 is accommodated in the groove 1111. The screw 141 passes through the groove opening 1112 and is threadedly connected to the nut 142. When the screw 141 is tightened, the screw 141 will drive the nut 142 to move towards the clamping plate 1113, so that the clamping plate 1113 is clamped and fixed between the nut 142 and the inner wall of the handle 126, thereby locking the handle 126 and the support rod 111 together.

[0058] To prevent the side wall of the handle 126 from bending and deforming due to excessive force when the clamping plate 1113 is clamped and fixed between the nut 142 and the inner wall of the handle 126, thereby affecting the stability of the interlocking between the handle 126 and the support rod 111, such as... Figure 5As shown, the portion of screw 141 located outside handle 126 has a screwing portion 1411 with an increased radial dimension. The screwing portion 1411 allows the user to easily apply force to rotate screw 141. A washer 143 can be clamped between the screwing portion 1411 and the outer wall of handle 126. When the screwing portion 1411 applies force to the outer wall of handle 126, the washer 143 can increase the force-bearing area of ​​the outer wall of handle 126 to prevent the force from being too concentrated and causing the outer wall of handle 126 to deform inward.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, a threaded hole 1262 can also be provided on the side wall of the handle 126. The locking member 140 is a fastener 144 that is threaded into the threaded hole 1262. When the fastener 144 is screwed in the forward direction, it moves toward the inside of the handle 126, and one end of the fastener 144 presses against the support rod 111, so that the support rod 111 and the handle 126 are relatively fixed. When the fastener 144 is screwed in the reverse direction, the fastener 144 moves outward, and one end of the fastener 144 separates from the support rod 111. At this time, the handle 126 can be easily slid for height adjustment.

[0060] In other embodiments, the locking member 140 may also be a pin that passes through the side wall of the handle 126, and the support rod 111 is provided with a plurality of pin holes along the height direction. After the handle 126 is raised or lowered to the required height, the pin is inserted into the corresponding pin hole on the support rod 111 to lock and fix the handle 126 on the support rod 111.

[0061] It should be noted that the specific structures of the various locking components 140 provided above are all based on the method of inserting the support rod 111 upward into the handle 126. For the implementation method mentioned above where the handle 126 is inserted downward into the support rod 111, the locking component 140 can still adopt the above structures, only the installation position of the locking component 140 needs to be adapted to be moved from the handle 126 to the support rod 111.

[0062] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 To prevent the handle 126 from detaching from the support rod 111 due to excessive lifting when the bucket 120 is raised, a limiting member 1114 can be provided at the top of the support rod 111. When the handle 126 rises to... Figure 4 When the handle 126 is in its highest position, the limiting member 1114 will abut against the locking member 140, thereby limiting the handle 126 and preventing it from slipping off the support rod 111. The limiting member 1114 can be a baffle, a stop, etc., which can be integrally formed with the support rod 111 or assembled and fixed to the support rod 111 by means of riveting, snap-fitting, or screw connection.

[0063] The following section introduces and explains its usage scenarios based on the changes in several states during use.

[0064] First, open the lid 130 and pour the ice cubes and your favorite beverage into the container 120 through the inlet. The two will mix in the container 120 to make a cold drink. Then, close the lid 130 to ensure that the container 120 is sealed and kept cold, preventing the cold drink from heating up too quickly.

[0065] The handle 131 on the lid 130 makes it easy to carry. When carrying the beverage container 100, the handle 126 can be lowered as follows: Figure 1 The lowest position is shown, and the handle 126 is locked and fixed to the support rod 111 by the locking member 140.

[0066] When you need to receive a drink, place the drink container 100 on the ground or countertop, then unlock the locking device 140 and use the handle 126 to lift the container 120 to the desired position. Figure 2 After reaching the indicated height, lock the locking element 140 to keep the barrel 120 at this height under the support of the base 110 and the support rod 111.

[0067] Subsequently, according to Figures 7 to 8 As shown, insert the cup 200 into the space at the bottom of the barrel 120, and as... Figure 9 As shown in the mid-section structure, align the cup opening 210 with the liquid outlet 124, open the liquid outlet 124, and the beverage in the container 120 will enter the cup 200 through the liquid outlet 124. After taking the appropriate amount, close the liquid outlet 124 and pull the cup 200 out from the bottom of the container 120.

[0068] As can be seen, after the bucket 120 is lifted and supported and fixed by the base 110 and the support rod 111, the beverage bucket 100 forms a simple beverage machine, and users can easily take drinks from it through the cup 200.

[0069] To achieve the miniaturization requirement of the beverage bucket 100 packaging and make it lighter during shipping, the handle 126 and the bucket body 120 can be assembled and fixed using a detachable connection. Specifically, as follows... Figure 9 As shown, a connecting block 127 can be provided on one side of the bucket body 120, and a horizontally extending connecting arm 1263 is provided at the top of the handle 126. The connecting arm 1263 is fitted onto the connecting block 127. The beverage bucket 100 also includes a fastening screw 128, which passes through the connecting arm 1263 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the connecting block 127 to detachably fix the handle 126 to the bucket body 120. Of course, the handle 126 can also be detachably assembled to the bucket body 120 by means of snap-fit, riveting, etc., and the specific assembly method is not limited.

[0070] In this way, the handle 126 and the barrel body 120 can be packaged separately to meet the needs of miniaturized packaging.

[0071] Similarly, the base 110 and the support rod 111 can also be connected to each other in a detachable manner, such as by screws, snap-fit, or riveting. Packaging the base 110, support rod 111, and barrel 120 separately can make full use of the space inside the packaging box, allowing the components to be placed compactly and the packaging box to be smaller in size.

[0072] In summary, the beverage bucket 100 provided in this application embodiment allows for height adjustment of the bucket 120 by connecting the handle 126 on the bucket body 120 to the support rod 111 extending vertically upward from the base 110. Users can configure personalized beverages (such as ice cubes and drinks) in the bucket 120 according to their needs, and achieve portability through the handle on the lid 130. When drinking, the bucket 120 is first raised, and then the locking member 140 is connected to the handle 126 and the support rod 111 to fix the bucket 120 at the current height. A cup is then inserted into the bottom of the bucket 120, and the cold beverage is collected from the outlet 124.

[0073] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a beverage container set is also provided, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The beverage container set 500 includes a cup 200 and a beverage container 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. (As mentioned above...) Figure 7 and Figure 8 According to the relevant introduction, after the barrel 120 is raised relative to the base 110, the cup 200 is placed at the bottom of the barrel 120 to collect the beverage from the liquid outlet 124 at the bottom of the barrel 120.

[0074] To prevent the drink from spilling due to obstructed vision causing the cup 200 to misalign with the dispensing spout 124. Figures 7 to 9 As shown, a positioning part 112 can also be provided on the base 110. Users do not need to observe the alignment of the cup mouth 210 and the liquid outlet 124. They only need to move the cup 200 to the position where it abuts against the positioning part 112 to achieve the alignment of the cup mouth 210 and the liquid outlet 124, making the drinking process more convenient.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
