  • Patent number: 11976422
    Abstract: A pulp-molding process and an in-line intelligently drying apparatus therefor, comprise: implementing intelligent-circulation desiccating step and intelligently-wetting step in sequence, between pulp-dredging and forming step and thermo-compression forming step. Intelligent-circulation desiccating step comprises: in accordance to structure and/or outer contour of pulp-molding article, implementing combination of both infrared irradiation step and hot-wind blowing step, thereby self-adaptive eliminating different moistures contained within different portions of initially-compressed semi-finished product, to form evenly-dried semi-finished product. Intelligently-wetting step comprises: in accordance to structure and/or outer contour of pulp-molding article, spray-sprinkling predetermined different adaptive amount of water over different local location within dried semi-finished product, thereby forming wetted semi-finished product having averaged moisture content.

  • Publication number: 20240076105
    Abstract: A sunken-type cup lid, for covering on a cup mouth of a cup body, according to the present invention is disclosed herein, and comprises: a covering panel, a leaning-on portion and a camber-holding portion. On the covering panel, a sunken-type dome structure is formed to expand a contacting area, from the leaning-on portion laterally and tightly fitting against inside the cup body, to the camber-holding portion downwardly and tightly fitting overneath the cup mouth, so as to be in a multi-directional tight fit manner between the cup lid and the cup body. Thus, it can decrease a liquid-leakage probability incurred between the cup lid and the cup body, and an accidentally detaching probability of the cup lid away from the cup body.

  • Patent number: 11053051
    Abstract: A pulp-molded paper lid for a beverage cup and a method for fabricating the same is introduced. While said pulp-molded paper lid bears an external pressure to accommodate the convex-ridge ring of the cup body therein, by preloading of an insertion force of said convex-ridge ring, a generating-elasticity device of said pulp-molded paper lid is pre-compressed to compressively deform, along inward directions respectively opposite to radial directions of said pulp-molded paper lid. By removal of said external pressure, a movable bearing wall and an outermost sidewall of said generating-elasticity device exert two reversed elastically-rebound forces by a stretched deformation occurring therebetween, for clamp-retaining two opposed sides of said convex-ridge ring. Said generating-elasticity device is released from the pre-compression to exert preloaded elastic forces along said radial directions, for strengthening the clamp-retention and avoiding the technical problems of the prior arts.

  • Publication number: 20210155360
    Abstract: A pulp-molded packaging article is introduced herein, which comprises a bottom wall, and a standing lateral wall having a bulge region and a groove region. A transversely cross-sectional thickness located at the bulge region is larger than a transversely cross-sectional thickness located at the groove region. While a to-be-packaged object enters inside the article to oppress the bulge region, the bulge region is therefore actuated in elastic deformation to reach an outwardly deflected position. And then, after the to-be-packaged object continues to reach the groove region, the bulge region is rebounded therefore to exert reverse elastic forces on the to-be-packaged object, resulting in a snap-in retention onto the to-be-packaged object, which makes the snap-in convex surface stopping the to-be-packaged object from moving toward a top opening of the article.
