[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a convenient single-layer square breathable paper cup for brewing drinks, including a cup body 1. The cup body 1 is square, and each side has a horizontal fold in the middle, and the horizontal fold is surrounded by diagonal folds. The bottom surface of the cup body 1 is fixedly provided with a bottom edge 6, the top surface of the cup body 1 is fixedly provided with a square rolled edge, and the four corners of the bottom edge 6 are fixedly provided with support columns 5. The other end of the support column 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the square rolled edge. The support column 5 is a long strip-shaped rod with multiple indentations spaced apart on its surface. The inner wall of the cup body 1 is provided with a limit groove 10 near the top.
[0018] Specifically, the cup body 1 has an overall square structure for holding beverages. Its square outer wall provides good stability, and the four sides can be used as advertising display surfaces to increase economic value. The horizontal and diagonal creases of the cup body 1 are respectively set on the side wall of the cup body 1 to assist folding and guide, so that the force is more even during the folding process, thereby achieving rapid flattening of the cup body 1. The bottom edge 6 is fixed to the bottom surface of the cup body 1 to enhance the stability of the bottom of the cup body 1 and prevent the bottom from bulging and leaking when hot water or beverages are poured in. The support columns 5 are fixed at the four corners of the bottom edge 6 and extend to the bottom surface of the square rolled edge. They are used to support the cup body 1 in the vertical direction, improve the overall stability, prevent the cup wall from collapsing, and form an air gap during the grip to prevent burns. The surface of the support column 5 is provided with multiple indentations at intervals. The indentations can provide folding guidance after use, making it easy to bend the support column 5 along the direction of the indentations, thereby flattening the cup body 1 as a whole and reducing the subsequent storage volume. The square rolled edge is set at the top of the cup body 1 to enhance the structural strength of the cup mouth and prevent the cup mouth from deforming and collapsing under pressure or heat. It also serves as the anchor point for the connection of the top cover 2. The limiting groove 10 is located on the inner wall of the cup body 1 near the top, and is used to embed brewing components such as the folding tea infuser 8, so as to keep the tea infuser stable during brewing or drinking, prevent it from shaking with the liquid, and improve the drinking experience.
[0019] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a convenient single-layer square breathable paper cup for brewing drinks. A support base 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper part of the inner wall of the cup body 1, and folding tea infusers 8 are provided on both sides of the support base 7. The surface of the folding tea infuser 8 is provided with cross-shaped creases and multiple inlets. When the folding tea infuser 8 is unfolded, it can be inserted into the limiting groove 10 for limiting. A vent hole 9 is provided on one side of the top of the top cover 2. A flip cover 3 is provided at the upper end of the vent hole 9. A handle 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the top surface of the flip cover 3.
[0020] Specifically, the support base 7 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the inner wall of the cup body 1 to provide a mounting base for the folding tea infuser 8, ensuring that the tea infuser can be stably supported during use and will not shake with the liquid. The folding tea strainer 8 is installed on the inner wall of the cup body 1 via the support base 7. Its surface has cross-shaped creases, which can be folded flat when stored and unfolded into a container to hold tea leaves or brewing materials when in use. The folding tea strainer 8 has multiple openings on its surface, which allows hot water to quickly penetrate during brewing while preventing tea leaves from entering the drinking area. When unfolded, the folding tea strainer 8 can be embedded in the limiting groove 10 for locking and limiting, preventing displacement during brewing or drinking. The top cover 2 is located at the top of the cup body 1 to seal the cup mouth and prevent beverages from overflowing or dust from entering. A vent hole 9 is provided on one side of the top of the top cover 2 to release steam when brewing hot drinks, thus preventing excessive pressure inside the cup from causing deformation or liquid splashing. The upper end of the vent 9 is provided with a flip cover 3. The flip cover 3 is connected to the top cover 2 through a flexible paper material and has the characteristic of being able to be flipped repeatedly. When ventilation is needed, the vent 9 is flipped open, and when not in use, the vent 9 is covered to achieve the functions of sealing and dust prevention. A handle 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the top surface of the flip cover 3. The handle 4 makes it easy for the user to open the flip cover 3 with one hand, which is simple to operate and avoids direct contact with the ventilation hole 9, thus improving hygiene and ease of use.
[0021] The working principle of this device is as follows: when in use, the cup body 1 unfolds into a square structure, forming a stable support frame through the bottom edge 6 and the four corner support pillars 5, preventing collapse when filled with hot water or beverages. The indentations on the surface of the support pillars 5 allow for folding and flattening after use, facilitating overall storage.
[0022] During the brewing process, after the user puts in the tea leaves, they unfold the folded tea strainer 8 and embed it into the limiting groove 10. The tea strainer 8 is kept in a stable position with the help of the support base 7. After pouring in hot water, the tea leaves or other brewing materials are confined within the folded tea strainer 8, and rapid soaking and filtration are achieved through the surface opening, preventing tea residue from entering the drinking area. After adding water, the top cover 2 on the top of the cup body 1 can close the cup mouth. The vent hole 9 is used to release water vapor during the brewing process to maintain the air pressure balance inside and outside the cup. The flip cover 3 can be freely flipped over with the help of the flexible paper connection. When it is necessary to release air, the vent hole 9 can be opened, and when it is not necessary, it can be closed to prevent dust from entering. The handle 4 makes it easy for the user to operate the flip cover 3 with one hand, improving the convenience of use. After drinking, the cup body 1 can be folded along the horizontal crease and the diagonal crease, and then folded inward with the pressure crease of the support column 5 to flatten the entire paper cup, significantly reducing its volume and making it easy to carry and discard.
[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
