DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022]The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023]A water cup is highly likely to tip over during use, easily leading to cup damage, especially for glass cups. Adding anti-tipping function to a cup can effectively reduce the occurrence of cup tipping, thereby lowering the probability of cup damage and the cost of use.

[0024]As shown in FIG. 1-5, the present invention provides a technical solution: a lockable anti-tipping water cup comprising a cup body 1, wherein a lower shell 2 is installed on the bottom outer wall of cup body 1, a top plate 6 is installed in the middle of the circumferential outer wall of lower shell 2, a sucker bracket 4 is provided at the bottom of top plate 6, and a connecting mechanism 5 is installed on the top plate 6 for connecting the top plate 6 with the sucker bracket 4, the sucker bracket 4 is installed with an anti-tipping mechanism 3 that is actively adsorbed onto the tabletop under the action of gravity, and an inclined component is provided in the connecting mechanism 5 to enable the anti-tipping mechanism 3 passively adsorbed onto the tabletop to prevent the cup body 1 from tipping over.

[0025]It should be noted that a lockable anti-tipping cup is composed of a cup body 1, a lower shell 2, a sucker bracket 4, a top plate 6, a connecting mechanism 5, and a tilting component, the cup 1 can hold liquids and provide the basic function of a water cup, the connecting mechanism 5 enables the flexible connection between top plate 6 and sucker bracket 4, facilitating the normal operation of anti-tipping mechanism 3, and the water cup 1 on the tabletop will be actively adsorbed onto the tabletop under the action of gravity to increase lateral force and provide anti-tipping effect; the inclined component enables users to operate by themselves, such that the water cup 1 is as a whole passively adsorbed onto the tabletop to reduce the probability of cup tipping and cup damage and save the cost of use.

[0026]As shown in FIG. 2, the anti-tipping mechanism 3 comprises a rubber sucker sleeve 301 installed on the bottom outer wall of sucker bracket 4, a sucker body 302 is installed in the inner wall of the rubber sucker sleeve 301, an air duct 303 is provided in the sucker body 302, a protrusion 8 is provided on the top outer wall of top plate 6, the bottom outer wall of the protrusion 8 is the air port sealing surface, and the air duct 303 is located directly below the air port sealing surface.

[0027]It should be noted that when the water cup is placed on the tabletop, the suction cup body 302, together with the rubber sucker sleeve 301, is exhausted via the air duct 303 under the action of gravity through the connecting mechanism 5, such that the anti-tipping mechanism 3 and its components adhere to the tabletop, increasing the lateral force.

[0028]As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the connecting mechanism 5 comprises a bottom ring 501 installed on the bottom outer wall of top plate 6, the outer wall of bottom ring 501 is provided with a plurality of vertical grooves, and the outer wall of sucker bracket 4 is provided with a plurality of sliding blocks 503 that are inserted into the vertical grooves.
