Rotating multifunctional handle for cup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The position of the handle on a water cup is fixed and unchangeable, limiting its use to a single state without transformation in shape, making it inconvenient for varying temperature and size conditions.
Innovation Solution
A rotating multifunctional handle for a cup that allows the handle to rotate between two positions: a handgrip and a lifting handle, using a connecting seat, rotating member, and positioning grooves and convex points to lock the handle's position, enabling easy switching between these functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the handle is fixed to the cup body, then the structure is simple and stable, but the handle position cannot be changed, limiting it to a single use state
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is transformed from a fixed static structure to a dynamic rotatable structure. The rotating member enables the handle to rotate between a first position (handgrip function) and a second position (lifting handle function), allowing the handle to adapt to different usage scenarios while maintaining structural simplicity through the use of a compact rotating mechanism with positioning grooves and convex points.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the handle is fixed in position, then the structure is stable, but it cannot adapt to different temperature and size conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The handle structure incorporates a rotating member that allows dynamic adjustment between two positions. In the first position, the handle serves as a handgrip for stable holding; in the second position, it becomes a lifting handle for easy carrying. This dynamic transformation enables the handle to adapt to different usage conditions including temperature variations and cup size differences, while maintaining ease of operation through simple rotational movement with positioning mechanisms.

AI summary
The invention discloses a rotating multifunctional handle of a cup, which comprises a cup body and a handle. A connecting seat is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the cup body; the upper end of the handle is rotatably connected to the seat; a rotating piece is mounted between the handle and the seat and driven by the handle to rotate; a plurality of positioning grooves are formed in one of the seat and the rotating piece; positioning protruding points are arranged on the other and clamped into the grooves to lock the relative rotation between the handle and the seat; when the handle rotates relative to the seat, the positioning protruding points oppressively jump and move along the circle of the grooves, thereby positioning the handle in a first position to serve as a grip or a second position to serve as a lifting handle.
