Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of funnel cups with measuring functions, and more particularly to a paper funnel cup with measuring functions. Background Technology

[0002] The funnel cup with measuring function is a functional improvement on the traditional funnel, designed to meet the needs of different fields for measuring liquids or particulate substances. Its main purpose stems from various problems and requirements in practical applications, as detailed below: Industrial Production Quality Monitoring Needs: In the food processing industry, such as wheat flour processing, quality monitoring during the milling process is crucial. Existing buffer funnels cannot automatically detect the quality and composition information of materials in real time. Traditional testing methods involve inspectors taking samples through the sampling window at the funnel, followed by chemical and biological testing in a laboratory. This method suffers from drawbacks such as complex sample preparation, high technical requirements, and time-consuming and labor-intensive processes, failing to meet the requirements of modern food industry online and non-destructive testing. Therefore, a funnel cup with measuring functions is needed to achieve real-time monitoring of material quality during the production process, such as automatically completing sampling, scanning, comparison, and prompting.

[0003] Everyday convenience needs: Taking coffee making as an example, the weight of coffee grounds and the tamping pressure significantly affect the strength and taste of espresso. Currently, users need an additional electronic scale to weigh coffee grounds, as there is a lack of high-pressure funnel devices on the market that can directly measure the weight of coffee grounds or the tamping pressure. To make coffee making more convenient for users and improve the accuracy and consistency of coffee preparation, a high-pressure funnel device with weight measurement function has been developed, which can directly measure the weight of coffee grounds without the need for an additional electronic scale.

[0004] The need for precise measurement in the medical field: In assisted reproductive technology (ART), male semen needs to be collected for in-vitro fertilization, and semen volume is a crucial parameter for diagnosing and treating infertility. However, currently, there are no dedicated semen collection cups internationally; simple collection cups made of polyethylene plastic are often used as substitutes. This makes it difficult for medical personnel to accurately measure the volume of collected semen, and these cups have poor biocompatibility, which can affect sperm motility. Therefore, a wide-mouthed funnel-shaped semen collection cup with volume graduations has been developed, facilitating accurate measurement of semen volume by medical personnel while meeting the quality requirements of ART.

[0005] Precise Laboratory Experimental Needs: High precision is required in the dropping experiments of laboratory synthesis reactions. Currently, most laboratories use pear-shaped funnels or cylindrical constant-pressure funnels, which have several problems. For example, pear-shaped separating funnels cannot be sealed, allowing reagents to easily come into contact with air; the side arm of cylindrical constant-pressure dropping funnels is prone to breakage; and conventional measuring instruments are not accurate enough. To meet the stringent requirements of laboratory precision and accuracy, and to accurately measure parameters such as hydrogen release, a constant-pressure funnel device with pressure detection and other measurement functions has been developed.

[0006] Funnel cups with measuring functions are generally made of non-environmentally friendly and inexpensive materials such as glass and stainless steel. They are not foldable, are not easy to carry or store, and have high production costs. They are not suitable for frequent replacement. Furthermore, funnel cups with measuring functions have a low probability of being recycled after replacement, which does not conform to the concept of sustainable development. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main objective of this invention is to provide a paper funnel cup with a measuring function to solve the problems raised in related technologies.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a paper funnel cup with measuring function is provided, comprising a novel funnel paper cup in the shape of a regular square prism, with foldable fixed supports rotatably connected to each of the four edges of the novel funnel paper cup, and support holes opened on each of the four edges of the novel funnel paper cup.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0017] This embodiment provides a paper funnel cup with measuring function, such as Figure 1 As shown, the funnel paper cup 1 is a regular square prism. Each of the four edges of the funnel paper cup 1 is rotatably connected to a foldable fixed support 2. Each of the four edges of the funnel paper cup 1 has a support hole 3. The foldable fixed support 2 and the support hole 3 are located on the upper part of the funnel paper cup 1 and are on the same plane. They correspond one-to-one. When the foldable fixed support 2 rotates and partially passes through the corresponding support hole 3, the funnel paper cup 1 is opened. When the foldable fixed support 2 rotates and is pulled out from the support hole 3, the funnel paper cup 1 can be folded.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, the novel funnel paper cup 1 includes a funnel cup body 11, and the inner wall of the funnel cup body 11 is engraved with a volume measurement scale 12.

[0019] like Figure 3As shown, the foldable fixed support 2 includes a force-bearing cardboard 21, one end of which is rotatably connected to the funnel cup body 11, and an auxiliary cardboard 22 is rotatably connected to the force-bearing cardboard 21.

[0020] In the foldable fixed support 2, when the new funnel paper cup 1 is folded, the auxiliary cardboard 22 rotates around the central axis of the force-bearing cardboard 21. The force-bearing cardboard 21 gradually rotates towards the inner wall of the funnel cup body 11 under the pressure of the funnel cup body 11. When the new funnel paper cup 1 is open, it can rotate to the state during measurement.

[0021] When the new funnel paper cup 1 is open, the force-bearing cardboard 21 can be bent by hand and rotated so that the unfixed end passes through the support hole 3. At this time, one end of the auxiliary cardboard 22 will abut against the inner wall of the funnel cup body 11. Under the action of force, the auxiliary cardboard 22 will rotate until its other end also abuts against the inner wall of the funnel cup body 11, which can open the funnel cup body 11 into the state required for measurement.

[0022] The width of the support hole 3 on the funnel cup body 11 is less than the length of the auxiliary cardboard 22. The length of the force-bearing cardboard 21 is not less than the distance from its rotation axis to the support hole 3 when it is in the open state. The position of the auxiliary cardboard 22 is the oblique length from the rotation axis of the force-bearing cardboard 21 to the support hole 3 when it is in the open state.

[0023] Working principle: When the paper funnel cup with measuring function is in a folded state, the new type of paper funnel cup 1 will fold inward along the opposite edge. The auxiliary cardboard 22 of the foldable fixed support 2 rotates around the force-bearing cardboard 21 along the central axis under the pressure of the funnel cup body 11. The force-bearing cardboard 21 will also gradually rotate towards the inner wall of the funnel cup body 11 under the pressure of the funnel cup body 11. At this time, the force-bearing cardboard 21 and the auxiliary cardboard 22 will stick together. The foldable fixed support 2 that sticks together will stick to the inner wall of the funnel cup body 11, so that the new type of paper funnel cup with measuring function can be folded into a thinner and smaller state. When the paper funnel cup with measuring function is needed, the folded new funnel paper cup 1 can be unfolded, and the foldable fixed support 2 can be rotated into a three-dimensional state. The unfixed end of the force-bearing cardboard 21 can be bent by hand and rotated to pass through the support hole 3. At this time, one end of the auxiliary cardboard 22 will abut against the inner wall of the funnel cup body 11. Under the action of force, the auxiliary cardboard 22 will rotate until its other end also abuts against the inner wall of the funnel cup body 11. Under the supporting force of the auxiliary cardboard 2, the funnel cup body 11 can be unfolded into the state required for measurement. Then, the item to be measured is poured into the funnel cup body 11, and the volume of the item to be measured can be measured according to the volume measurement scale 12 engraved on the funnel cup body 11.

[0024] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
