It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "secured to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and the like as used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only embodiments.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

The present embodiment provides a cup holder and cup holder set, which has the advantages of being not easy to tip over, having high stability and being convenient to disassemble and clean, and will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 1, a cup holder includes a first bending structure 1, the first bending structure 1 includes a first unit 11, the first unit 11 includes a first connecting portion 111, a first supporting member 112 respectively disposed at two opposite ends of the first connecting portion 111, and a first support 113 disposed at a bottom end of the first supporting member 112, the first unit 11 is an axisymmetric structure or an approximately axisymmetric structure, and a symmetry axis of the first unit 11 is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the first connecting portion 111.

The first unit 11 is an axisymmetric structure or an approximately axisymmetric structure, and the symmetry axis of the first unit 11 is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the first connection portion 111, which means that the symmetry of the first unit 11 may not be strict and there may be some deviation when manufacturing, for example, two first supporting members 112 that should be symmetrical about the symmetry axis may be inclined by 0 ° to 5 ° with respect to the symmetry axis. Like this, when first unit 11 is in the bearing (for example place the drinking cup on first unit 11), can take place some deformation in order to offset the deviation in the structure preparation, and then reduce the influence to the structure symmetry, so, be favorable to guaranteeing that the focus of first unit 11 is located the center department of first connecting portion 111 of first unit 11 and can not be because great skew takes place for the deformation, be favorable to improving the structural stability of first unit 11.

In one embodiment, the first support 112 is disposed obliquely to the axis of symmetry of the first unit 11. Further, the distance between the top ends of the two first supporting members 112 respectively disposed at the two ends of the first connecting portion 111 is greater than the distance between the bottom ends of the two first supporting members 112. Specifically, the spacing between the first supports 112 disposed at both ends of the first connecting portion 111 gradually increases from the bottom end of the first support 112 to the top end of the first support 112. Thus, the distance between the first supporting pieces 112 is ensured to be larger, and the cup holder is suitable for holding cups of different models; in addition, when an appliance such as a cup is placed on the first supporter 112, the first supporter 112 is compressed downward, and the first supporter 112 has elasticity, so that the first support 113 disposed at the lower end of the first supporter 112 is moved in the opposite direction, thereby further lowering the center of gravity of the first unit 11, making the cup holder less prone to toppling and improving the stability of the cup holder.
