Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper cup holder technology, specifically to a paper cup dispensing structure. 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 dispensing structures typically stack paper cups within a cylindrical or trough-shaped cavity. A pushing mechanism, such as a spiral pusher or telescopic rod, continuously applies pressure, causing the outermost paper cup to protrude from the holder's opening 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 designated 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 dispensing structure 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 problem is: a paper cup dispensing structure, comprising...

[0007] The cylindrical body has a receiving cavity for holding multiple paper cups stacked together, 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 component includes:

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

[0011] The driving component, with its power output end connected to the coil spring, is characterized by:

[0012] The end of the cup spring near the cup outlet extends outward to form a swing column;

[0013] A blocking element is rotatably provided at the cup outlet end of the cylinder, which blocks part of the cup outlet to prevent the paper cup from sliding out; one end of the blocking element is rotatably connected to the cylinder, and the other end abuts against the swing column;

[0014] The driving component drives the cup-winding spring to rotate, and the paper cup moves towards the cup-outlet as the cup-winding spring rotates, causing the outermost edge of the paper cup to disengage from the limiting part; the swing column moves in a circular motion with the rotation of the cup-winding spring, and drives the blocking component to move away from the cup-outlet, so that the paper cup can be sent out from the cup-outlet.

[0015] Preferably, the inner side of the blocking member forms an arc surface corresponding to the outermost paper cup.

[0016] To facilitate the dispensing and placement of paper cups into the paper cup assembly, preferably, the receiving cavity is provided with a rotatable swinging member, which has at least two states:

[0017] 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;

[0018] When the swinging component is in a free state, it is detached from the paper cup.

[0019] 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.

[0020] When the swing arm is positioned in the first limiting groove, the swing component is in a locked state.

[0021] When the swing arm is positioned in the second limiting groove, the swinging component is in a free state.

[0022] Preferably, a third limiting groove and a fourth limiting groove for mounting the swing arm are formed on the blocking member;

[0023] The swing arm is positioned in the third limiting groove, the swinging component is positioned in the first limiting groove and is in a locked state; the blocking component blocks part of the cup opening;

[0024] The swing arm is positioned in the fourth limiting groove, and the swinging component is positioned in the second limiting groove and is in a free state; the swing arm drives the blocking component to rotate, so that the blocking plate moves away from the cup outlet, making it easier for the paper cup to enter and exit the cup outlet.

[0025] There are various ways to connect the blocking component and the swinging component to the cylinder. Preferably, the cylinder is provided with a rotating rod, and both the blocking component and the swinging component are rotatably connected to the cylinder through the rotating rod.

[0026] 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.

[0027] To make the structure compact and easy to place paper cups, preferably, the end of the cylinder away from the cup outlet has a baffle, and the outer periphery of the cylinder away from the cup outlet has a clearance opening for the clearance control component, and the control component and the drive component are both located on the baffle.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the paper cup is placed on the cup-winding spring and is conveyed outward as the cup-winding spring rotates. The drive unit controls the rotation of the cup-winding spring, thereby controlling the number of cups conveyed outward by controlling the rotation angle and number of turns of the cup-winding spring, realizing automatic control of cup dispensing; the end of the cup-winding spring near the cup outlet 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 cups inside, preventing the outermost paper cup that should be taken out from sticking with the inner paper cups and avoiding waste; by setting a blocking part that blocks part of the cup outlet, the paper cup is further prevented from slipping out, and the blocking part swings. The column switches between a covered state and a removed state, allowing the cup spout to be removed when needed. Furthermore, if only the limiting part at the end of the cup-winding spring limits the cup, the user can remove it by tilting the cup or using the tilting cup-removing structure. Therefore, this invention employs both a blocking member and a limiting part for double limiting from two directions, making it difficult for the internal cup to slip out even when tilted. Moreover, compared to the limiting part of the cup-winding spring, the blocking member has a larger area, resulting in a better blocking and limiting effect on the cup. Even if the user tilts the cup, it is difficult to remove the cup limited by the blocking member. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] like Figure 1-9 The diagram shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The paper cup dispensing structure includes a cylindrical body 1, a cup dispensing assembly 2, a swinging component 3, and a blocking component 4.

[0041] The cylinder 1 has a receiving cavity 11 for holding multiple stacked paper cups 100, and one end forms a cup outlet 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11; the top of the outer periphery of the paper cup 100 protrudes outward to form a cup rim 101; the cylinder 1 is provided with a rotating rod 32, and the blocking member 4 and the swinging member 3 are rotatably connected to the cylinder 1 through the rotating rod. The cylinder 1 has a baffle 13 at the end away from the cup outlet 12, and the outer periphery of the cylinder 1 away from the cup outlet 12 is provided with a clearance opening 16 for the clearance control member 23, and the control member 23 and the driving member 22 are both provided on the baffle 13.

[0042] 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 member 22, and a control member 23. The cup-winding spring 21 is rotatably disposed within the receiving cavity 11. The end of the cup-winding spring 21 near the cup dispensing opening 12 forms a limiting portion 211 for engaging the outermost cup rim 101 of the paper cup 100. The end of the cup-winding spring 21 near the cup dispensing opening 12 also extends outward to form a swing column 212. The spring pitch of the cup-winding spring 21 is equal to the stacking height H of the paper cups 100, where the stacking height H is the distance between two adjacent cup rims 101. The driving member 22's power output end is connected to the cup-winding spring 21, thereby driving the cup-winding spring 21 to rotate. The spiral structure of the cup-winding spring 21 forms multiple mounting cavities 213 for holding the cup rims 101 of the paper cups 100, such as... Figure 3As shown, the rim 101 of each paper cup 100 is located in the mounting cavity 213, and the cup body of the paper cup 100 abuts against the cup-rolling spring 21. The control unit 23 is electrically connected to the drive unit 22, thereby receiving external signals and controlling the opening and closing of the drive unit 22 according to the external signals.

[0043] The swing member 3 is rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity 11. The end of the swing member 3 forms a swing rod 31 that is easy to grip. Correspondingly, the end of the cylinder 1 forms a first limiting groove 14 and a second limiting groove 15 for mounting the swing rod 31.

[0044] The blocking member 4 is rotatably disposed at the cup outlet 12 end of the cylinder 1. The blocking member 4 partially blocks the cup outlet 12 to prevent the paper cup 100 from sliding out. One end of the blocking member 4 is rotatably connected to the cylinder 1, and the other end abuts against the swing column 212. A third limiting groove 41 and a fourth limiting groove 42 for mounting the swing rod 31 are formed on the blocking member 4. An arc surface 43 corresponding to the outermost paper cup 100 is formed on the side of the blocking member 4 near the paper cup 100. When the blocking member 4 blocks the cup outlet 12, the cup rim 101 of the paper cup 100 is blocked by the blocking member 4, so it cannot be sent out from the cup outlet 12.

[0045] The swing element 3 includes at least two states:

[0046] When the swing member 3 is in the locked state, 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 swing rod 31 is located in the third limiting groove 41 and the first limiting groove 14; at this time, the blocking member 4 blocks part of the cup outlet 12.

[0047] When the swinging member 3 is in a free state, the swing rod 31 is located in the second limiting groove 15 and the fourth limiting groove 42, and the swinging member 3 is separated from the paper cup 100; the displacement of the swing rod 31 drives the blocking member 4 to rotate, so that the blocking plate moves away from the cup outlet 12, making it easier for the paper cup 100 to enter and exit the cup outlet 12.

[0048] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0049] 1) Cup collection process

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, the paper cup taking structure is in its original state at this time: the swing member 3 is in the locked state, the swing rod 31 is located in the first limiting groove 14 and the third limiting groove 41, the swing member 3 abuts against the paper cup 100, so that the cup edge 101 of the paper cup 100 is kept overlapping the cup rolling spring 21, so that the paper cup 100 is limited between the swing member 3 and the cup rolling spring 21, and will not be affected by external force to move its position or freely detach from this paper cup storage module.

[0051] like Figure 8As shown, an external device transmits a cup-taking signal to the control unit 23. Upon receiving the signal, the control unit 23 activates the drive unit 22, thereby controlling the cup-rolling spring 21 to rotate one revolution along the central axis, causing the paper cups 100 to move outward. The outermost paper cup 100 disengages from the locking state of the limiting part 211, while the paper cups 100 adjacent to the outermost paper cup 100 are limited by the limiting part 211, allowing the user to take out one paper cup 100 at a time. The swing column 212 rotates in a circular motion with the rotation of the cup-rolling spring 21, causing the blocking part 4 to move away from the cup outlet 12, allowing the paper cups 100 taken out by 2 to be delivered from the cup outlet 12.

[0052] 2) Cup-filling process

[0053] like Figure 9 As shown, in the free state, the swing member 3 has its swing rod 31 positioned within the second limiting groove 15 and the fourth limiting groove 42. The swing member 3 is detached from the paper cup 100, and the swing rod 31 drives the blocking member 4 to rotate coaxially through the fourth limiting groove 42, causing the blocking plate to move away from the cup outlet 12. At this time, the user can insert the stacked paper cup set from the cup outlet 12 of the cylinder 1. After the paper cup set is placed, the swing member 3 is operated to the locked state. Under the action of gravity, the blocking member 4 naturally falls back to the state of blocking part of the cup outlet 12, preventing the paper cup 100 from sliding out.
