What exactly is a real car cup?

The topic of car cups has been discussed in several articles before, but it is also quite uneasy to know whether the definition of car cups is correct as mentioned before. Recently, customers' factory visits have given them the opportunity to clear up doubts, which also makes it difficult to understand. We know the origin of the name and concept of the car cup.

Currently, various water cups are sold on major e-commerce platforms in China with the keyword car cup. These water cups include glass, stainless steel, plastic, ceramic, etc. The functions of the water cups are even more There are all kinds of cup lids. If you follow our customers’ descriptions of car cups, you will find that 99% of the car cups sold on these e-commerce platforms are not car cups.

But here we must state in advance that the understanding of car cups is different. Maybe in daily life, everyone thinks that as long as the water cup can be carried on the vehicle, it is a car cup, and there is no objection. Everything is based on everyone's usage habits. We don't have any personal opinions. We just retell what the customers said for your reference.

We have a customer who is German. I believe that many friends who have had contact with German customers must have a deep understanding of the strict ethics of Germans. Okay, without further ado, let’s get back to the topic. The customer said this: In Germany, there is a car starting with B. Brand, this car brand proposed the concept of car cups as early as the 1970s. However, due to technology and people's usage habits, the emergence of real car cups was delayed for 20 years, that is, by the end of the last century . When defining the in-car cup, this car brand starting with B conducted research on various aspects, such as the capacity of the water cup, the material of the water cup, whether the water cup should be insulated, and how to open the lid of the water cup, including whether the diameter of the water cup is It can be placed just right on the car's water bottle holder without shaking or causing any awkwardness when picking it up. At the same time, the other party has done thousands of experiments to test how people can drive safely while easily picking up a water cup to drink water, and complete it within 3 seconds. Only if it is completed within 3 seconds can as many responses as possible be achieved Various emergencies.

So what kind of water cup can be classified as a car cup?

First, fragile materials, such as glass and ceramics, are discarded because they pose additional risks to the driver. In the early days of research in the 1970s, the car brand chose iron. However, with the updating and maturation of materials at any time, 304 stainless steel is now commonly used.

Secondly, the car cup cannot be a thermos cup. If it is a thermos cup, the driver will often forget that the water in the cup is high temperature when driving the vehicle, which will also cause emergencies when drinking. But it cannot be single-layer, because if the single-layer water cup is filled with cold water, a large number of condensed water droplets will form on the surface of the water cup, which will also cause the hand to slip. The final decision was to use a double-layer one without a vacuum structure. Water glass.

Considering that the driver must keep one hand never leaving the steering wheel, only one hand can complete the actions of picking up, opening, drinking, etc. of the water cup. Therefore, the lid of the water cup cannot be screwed, so a flip-top structure was designed. Can be easily done with one hand.

At the same time, considering that the smoothness of picking up is directly related to the key points, after repeated testing, around 500 ml is the optimal weight. This optimal weight does not mean that a lighter one is not possible, but that under the conditions of German roads at that time , people drive on average for 2-4 hours a day, so 500 ml of water can just meet the drinking requirements within this time.
