Reasons for the popularity of silicone folding cups

With the development of silicone daily necessities, the current foldable silicone products have been used in pots, bowls, kettles and cups. Some can use electronic heating kettles and thermos cups, and some are only manually folded, and their folding process has become the entire product. Selling point. Foldable silicone products have become more convenient products for travel and outdoor carrying, especially folding bowls and foldable water cups are popular with everyone. After use, they can be rinsed directly with water and can be put into the bag, which is convenient and fast, and takes up a small space. Especially when going out, it is most suitable. For this kind of foldable silicone product, where is its design inspiration, do you want to know?

The silicone foldable cup is a foldable cup that is convenient to carry, hygienic in use, and has a double-layered cup wall. The two adjacent sections of the outer wall are connected by threads, and the two adjacent sections of the inner wall are tapered and can move up and down. The inner wall is unfolded up and down through the rotation of the outer wall thread to realize the cup-shaped folding and stretching kinetic energy.

The silicone folding cup is made of environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and safe food-grade silicone. In our daily life, silicone kitchen utensils use the most land: silicone cups, silicone forks, silicone spatulas, silicone tableware, silicone bowls, silicone heat insulation pads, Silicone heat-insulating gloves and silicone pacifiers, etc., food-grade silicone is an inorganic polymer colloidal material formed by the condensation of silicic acid, the main component is mSio2nH2O. Except for alkali and hydrofluoric acid, it does not react with any acid or alkali in two special cases, and has good chemical stability. Commonly used in silicone baby pacifiers, feeding bottles and other products with high safety requirements. Heat resistance can reach 230 degrees.

Many people have asked before that if silica gel products encounter high temperature, will the chemical reaction occur and emit some chemical raw materials? The answer is: it can be put into 100 degrees of boiling water, there will be no scalding, chemical disintegration, high and low temperature resistance between -40 to 230 degrees, no problems, because room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber and meteorological white carbon black have A certain degree of toughness and strength will increase, and there will be no deformation or failure of toughness after baking over high temperature. Unlike plastic, silica gel does not contain BPA (bisphenol A) and is a food-grade environmentally friendly product. It is even more trivial to install boiled water. Because the food-grade silicone material has a variety of unique properties, in addition to high temperature resistance, it can fully adapt to low temperature environments and climate. For stability, the main component of silicone material is dioxide Silicon, silicone resin and white carbon black will not conflict with any substances except for the catalyst (vulcanizing agent) added by the silicone product manufacturer, and the catalyst odor can be removed according to the high temperature baking of the secondary fluidization.

The difficulty of making silicone folding cups is the folding interval point. Except for the arc, it is difficult to achieve the folding effect for other shapes. The drawing mainly depends on the wall thickness of the folding position. In general, the wall thickness of the folding part needs to be as small as The thickness can be twisted back and forth to achieve a gradual slope size. Normally, the wall thickness of the folding position is between 0.5-1mm. The folding position can be determined according to the size of the silicone water cup. Finally, the folding effect can be achieved by the strength of the folded part.

Mold making also requires certain skills. When opening the mold, the upper and lower mold clamping interfaces are at the minimum position. The inclination of the product is judged according to the mold taper size, and the minimum is required to achieve the folding effect. The problem is that the inside of the silicone folding cup is easily affected by the wall thickness of the folding part, so its internal folding point must be made into a structure that is inclined from top to bottom or from bottom to top, therefore, its internal folding point must be made into a structure that is inclined from top to bottom or from bottom to top, so that there will be no problems of squeezing and expansion during folding.

The folding silicone water cup also has a certain impact on the hardness of the product and the quality of the changed material during the silicone processing. If the material with lower hardness is used, it is estimated that the folding strength is not enough, which will cause automatic rebound, and the use of high hardness may cause folding The strength becomes larger and it is not easy to fold. Secondly, due to the material influence of the product, high-strength silicone rubber material is a necessary raw material. Otherwise, long-term compression and compression may cause the product to deform and the folding effect will become poor.
