Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to paper cups, and more particularly to a paper cup structure that is easy to distinguish. Background Technology

[0002] Disposable paper cups are frequently used in meeting receptions, offices, and public places. However, due to their uniform appearance, users can easily lose sight of their own cup after a short absence or when they are mixed up with others. This not only leads to a large number of underused paper cups being discarded due to unclear ownership, resulting in resource waste, but also raises hygiene and safety hazards caused by misusing other people's paper cups, increasing the risk of cross-infection of diseases.

[0003] To address this problem, existing technologies, such as Chinese patent CN201996153U, provide a solution. This solution involves printing a pattern on the perimeter of the paper cup body and covering the pattern with a scratch-off printed layer. Users can scratch off the layer to reveal letters or numbers underneath, thus marking that the paper cup has been used and achieving differentiation.

[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have significant drawbacks in practical applications. Because they employ a scraping method, the scraping process inevitably generates coating debris or dust. These chemical debris easily adheres to fingers, spills onto tabletops, and may even fall into the cup, contaminating the beverage – contradicting the original intention of paper cups to be clean and hygienic. Furthermore, the scraping operation often requires the use of fingernails or hard objects, making it unfriendly for users with short nails or hand disabilities. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an easily distinguishable paper cup structure to improve the user experience.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: an easily distinguishable paper cup structure, including a cup body, an identification layer fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cup body, a support layer fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cup body, a peeling layer connected to the support layer through an adhesive layer, the identification layer being located in the cavity formed by the outer wall of the cup body, the peeling layer, and the support layer, the peeling layer being disposed opposite to the identification layer, and a gripping section being connected to the outer wall of the peeling layer.

[0007] To achieve the above technical solution, during use, the operator only needs to pinch the grip section and apply external force to cause the peeling layer to overcome the adhesive force of the adhesive layer and separate from the support layer. As the peeling layer is peeled off, the labeling layer, which was originally sealed within the cavity formed by the outer wall of the cup, the peeling layer, and the support layer, is then exposed. This physical peeling action replaces the traditional scratching action, thus revealing the labeling information without damaging the material itself. This effectively differentiates the paper cups and makes it easier for users to identify their ownership.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the identification layer includes multiple number segments, which are arranged along the length of the identification layer, and adjacent number segments have different numbers.

[0009] By implementing the above technical solution, in practical use, users can independently control the pulling distance of the gripping section according to their differentiation needs, thereby precisely controlling the peeling length of the peeling layer relative to the labeling layer. Since the number segments are linearly arranged along the length direction, the number of exposed number segments increases sequentially with the increase in peeling stroke. Users can define the uniqueness of the paper cup by exposing different numbers of number segments. This gives users greater freedom in definition, instantly constructing distinguishing labels using differences in the number of exposed information, greatly improving identification efficiency and anti-confusion capabilities in complex scenarios such as multi-person meetings.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a fixed section is fixedly connected to the support layer, and a limiting groove is formed on the fixed section, through which the gripping section passes.

[0011] To achieve the above technical solution, in non-use states such as during paper cup transportation, stacking, or storage, the grip section passes through the limiting groove on the fixed section, thereby physically restraining its free end. Utilizing the limiting groove to store and fix the grip section effectively prevents the long, strip-shaped grip section from hooking, tangling, or being accidentally stressed due to free swinging during the vibration of bulk paper cup transportation or during removal, thus avoiding accidental opening of the peel layer before use.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the grip section passes through the limiting groove after being folded in half, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided at the bend of the grip section, so that the grip section is adhered to the outer wall of the cup body through the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

[0013] To achieve the above technical solution, during use, the operator first unfolds the folded grip section, exposing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer hidden in the bend. Then, the operator presses the grip section downwards, using the exposed adhesive layer to firmly adhere and fix it to the outer wall of the cup. This action eliminates the free-dangling state of the grip section, integrating it seamlessly with the release liner. This design not only prevents a loose grip section from obscuring the displayed digital information on the label layer but also effectively prevents the grip section from accidentally snagging or swinging during subsequent use, ensuring the overall neatness of the paper cup and its safety during use.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the grip section is provided with anti-slip protrusions.

[0015] To achieve the above technical solution, anti-slip protrusions are provided on the outer wall of the grip section, which provide necessary frictional damping during the process. When the user performs an unfolding action or pinches the grip section to pull and peel it off, the anti-slip protrusions can prevent fingers from slipping and ensure precise force application.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the marking layer has a protrusion on the side opposite to the cup body, and the peeling layer has a positioning through hole. When the peeling layer covers the support layer, the protrusion passes through the positioning through hole.

[0017] To achieve the above technical solution, firstly, in the unpeeled state, the protrusions are located in the positioning through holes, which can play a certain role in preventing slippage. Secondly, when the user pulls off the peeling layer, in usage scenarios with dim lighting or obstructed vision, the user does not need to rely on visual identification of numbers, but can quickly confirm the ownership of the paper cup through tactile feedback by simply touching the number of protrusions on the surface of the label layer.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support layer includes two support strips and a connecting block, the marking layer is located between the two support strips, and the connecting block and the fixing segment are respectively fixed to both ends of the support strips.

[0019] To achieve the above technical solution, a frame structure is adopted, which is formed by the interconnection of support bars, connecting blocks and fixed sections, providing precise physical positioning and peripheral protection for the marking layer. Attached Figure Description
