Portable Cup with Dual Drinking Modes for Versatile Use Environments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing water cups have a limited application range due to their single structure and function, specifically only one drinking mouth, which fails to meet drinking demands in various environments.
Innovation Solution
A double-drinking-mouth portable cup design featuring a cup body with a threaded cup cover, a groove, and both a cup mouth drinking structure with a flip cover and a sucking drinking structure with a suction nozzle, allowing for dual drinking modes and improved sealing and insulation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single drinking mouth structure is used, then the cup structure remains simple, but the application range and versatility are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The cup cover is divided into functional zones: a groove area containing the cup mouth drinking structure and a receiving groove area containing the sucking drinking structure. This segmentation allows two distinct drinking modes to coexist on a single cup cover without excessive complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The cup cover is designed to provide multiple drinking functions simultaneously - both cup mouth drinking and sucking drinking capabilities. The cup body thus becomes a multi-functional vessel that can adapt to different drinking scenarios and environments.
2Reliability
If a flip cover is added to protect the drinking hole, then hygiene and smooth water outlet are improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The flip cover is designed as a movable component connected through a pin shaft, allowing it to rotate between covering and uncovering positions. This dynamic design provides hygiene protection when closed and smooth drinking flow when opened, adapting to different operational states.
3Adaptability or versatility
If air inlets are added to balance pressure, then sucking drinking functionality is improved, but the cup cover structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
Air inlet holes are incorporated into the cup cover structure to enable pressure equalization during sucking drinking. This pneumatic feature allows the user to create negative pressure to draw liquid through the suction nozzle, making sucking drinking functional without requiring complex pressure control mechanisms.

AI summary
The present invention details a double-drinking-mouth portable cup, comprising a cup body. A cup cover is in threaded connection to the top of the cup body; a groove is formed in the top of the cup cover; and a cup mouth drinking structure is disposed in the groove. For the present invention, by disposing the cup mouth drinking structure and a sucking drinking structure on the top of the cup cover, the cup cover can have double drinking modes, so that the application range of the cup body may be enlarged, the use convenience of the cup body is greatly improved, and the problem that an existing water cup cannot meet the drinking demands in different environments due to relatively single structure and function and only one drinking mouth, so that the application range of the water cup is severely affected is solved.
