Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cups, and more particularly to a cup lid and cup that facilitate drinking water. Background Technology

[0002] Cups are common water containers in daily life. An existing cup, such as the utility model patent with announcement number CN222433024U, includes a cup body and a cup lid that fits onto the cup body. The top of the cup lid is provided with a drinking spout, and a cap for opening and closing the drinking spout is arranged on the upper side of the cup lid. A button is slidably connected to the front side of the cup lid. The rear end of the cap is hinged to the cup lid body through a hinge shaft, and the front end is locked to the button through a fixing plate extending downward from the front side of the cap.

[0003] In the above technical solution, since the button is located in front of the spout, a certain distance needs to be reserved in front of the cup lid to arrange the button and the fixing plate. This results in the spout being positioned relatively far back. When drinking water, the wide reserved area in front of the spout can easily interfere with people's chin and other parts, which is not in line with human anatomy and makes drinking water inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a cup lid and cup that are more ergonomic and facilitate drinking.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A cup lid for convenient drinking includes a lid body, a cap structure, a locking element, and an operating element. The lid body can be connected to a cup body. The lid body includes a spout structure protruding from its top, a receiving groove recessed from its top and arranged behind the spout structure, and a movable chamber disposed inside the spout and arranged behind the receiving groove. The rear sidewall of the receiving groove has a locking channel communicating with the movable chamber. The cap structure includes an arm rotatably connected to the lid body along a first axis, a closing part connected to the arm, and an extension extending downward from the closing part. The extension corresponds to the receiving groove and has a locking slot. The cap structure can be positioned around the first axis in a closed position where the closing part covers the spout structure and the extension extends into the receiving groove, and in an open position where the closing part is away from the spout structure and the extension is away from the receiving groove. The cover body rotates between the two sides; a locking element is movably connected to the movable chamber, the locking element including a locking body and a second locking part disposed on the locking body and corresponding to the locking port, the locking element being movable relative to the cover body between a locked state and an unlocked state, the second locking part extending through the locking channel into the receiving groove and being movable relative to the locking channel as the locking body moves; in the locked state, the locking element holds the cover structure in a closed position by engaging with the locking port through the second locking part, and in the unlocked state, the locking element allows the cover structure to move from the closed position to the open position by separating from the locking port through the second locking part; an operating element is movably connected to the cover body and correspondingly arranged with the locking element, the operating element being able to move the locking element from the locked state to the unlocked state based on the force applied by the operator.

[0007] This utility model also provides a cup, including a cup body having a receiving cavity and a cup lid as described above connected to the cup body.

[0008] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0009] The cup lid provided by this utility model has a recessed receiving groove on the top of the lid body, located behind the drinking spout structure, and a movable chamber located behind the receiving groove inside the groove. A locking channel communicating with the movable chamber is provided through the rear wall of the receiving groove. A locking member is movably connected to the movable chamber, and the second locking part of the locking member extends into the receiving groove through the locking channel. When the lid structure is in the closed position, its extension extends into the receiving groove and can be locked by interlocking with the second locking part of the locking member through the locking port of the extension. Furthermore, the operating member is movably connected to the lid body and... The locking element is arranged accordingly. The operator applies force to the operating element to move the locking element from the locked state to the unlocked state, thereby unlocking the cap structure. Compared with the existing technology where the button and fixing plate are arranged on the front side of the mouthpiece, the arrangement of the extension and locking element on the rear side of the mouthpiece structure, and the corresponding arrangement of the operating element and the locking element, eliminates the need to set a wide reserved area on the cap body on the front side of the mouthpiece structure. This makes it less likely for the narrow reserved area on the front side of the mouthpiece structure to interfere with people's chin and other parts when drinking water, which is more in line with human structure and makes drinking water more convenient.

[0026] like Figures 1-15As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, a cup lid for easy drinking is provided, which is used to cover the cup body. The cup lid includes a lid body 1, a cap structure 2, a locking member 4, and an operating member 3. The lid body 1 can be connected to the cup body. The lid body 1 includes a spout structure 171 protruding from its top, a receiving groove 13 recessed from its top and arranged behind the spout structure 171, and a movable chamber disposed inside it and arranged behind the receiving groove 13. The rear side wall of the receiving groove 13 is provided with a locking channel 134 that communicates with the movable chamber. The lid body 1 is provided with an outlet channel 12 that communicates with the receiving cavity inside the cup body, and the liquid container such as water or beverage in the receiving cavity can be discharged to the outside through the outlet channel 12. The outlet channel 12 is provided through the spout structure 171. The cap structure 2 includes an arm 26 rotatably connected to the cap body 1 along a first axis L1, a capping portion 24 connected to the arm 26, and an extension portion 25 extending downward from the capping portion 24. The extension portion 25 is correspondingly provided with the receiving groove 13, and a locking port 251 is provided on the extension portion 25. The cap structure 2 can rotate around the first axis L1 between a closed position A1 where the capping portion 24 covers the drinking spout structure 171 and the extension portion 25 extends into the receiving groove 13, and an open position A2 where the capping portion 24 is away from the drinking spout structure 171 and the extension portion 25 is away from the receiving groove 13. When the cap structure 2 is in the closed position A1, the capping portion 24 closes the outlet channel 12, and the liquid medium in the receiving cavity cannot be discharged to the outside through the outlet channel 12. When the cap structure 2 is in the open position A2, the capping portion 24 does not close the outlet channel 12, and the liquid medium in the receiving cavity can be discharged to the outside through the outlet channel 12. Locking member 4 is movably connected to the movable chamber. Locking member 4 includes locking body 41 and locking part 2 104 disposed on locking body 41 and corresponding to locking port 251. Locking member 4 can move relative to cover body 1 between locked state B1 and unlocked state B2. Locking part 2 104 extends into receiving groove 13 through locking channel 134 and can move relative to locking channel 134 as locking body 41 moves. In locked state B1, locking member 4 holds cover structure 2 in closed position A1 by locking part 2 104 engaging with locking port 251. In unlocked state B2, locking member 4 allows cover structure 2 to move from closed position A1 to open position A2 by locking part 2 104 separating from locking port 251. Operating member 3 is movably connected to cover body 1 and corresponding to locking member 4. Operating member 3 can move locking member 4 from locked state B1 to unlocked state B2 based on the force applied by the operator.In this embodiment, the cup lid has a recessed receiving groove 13 on the top of the lid body 1, located behind the drinking spout structure 171, and an active chamber located behind the receiving groove 13 inside it. A locking channel 134 communicating with the active chamber is provided through the rear wall of the receiving groove 13. The locking member 4 is movably connected to the active chamber, and the second locking part 104 of the locking member 4 extends into the receiving groove 13 through the locking channel 134. When the cap structure 2 is in the closed position A1, its extension 25 extends into the receiving groove 13 and can be locked by engaging with the second locking part 104 of the locking member 4 through the locking port 251 of the extension 25. The operating member 3 is movably connected to... The cover body 1 is arranged in a corresponding manner with the locking member 4. The operator applies force to the operating member 3 to move the locking member 4 from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, thereby unlocking the cap structure 2. Compared with the existing technology where the button and fixing plate are arranged on the front side of the mouthpiece, the present application arranges the extension 25 and the locking member 4 on the rear side of the mouthpiece structure 171, and the operating member 3 is arranged in a corresponding manner with the locking member 4. This eliminates the need to set a wide reserved area on the cover body 1 on the front side of the mouthpiece structure 171, making it less likely for the narrow reserved area on the front side of the mouthpiece structure 171 to interfere with people's chin and other parts when drinking water. This is more in line with the human body structure and makes drinking water more convenient.

[0027] In this embodiment, the drinking spout structure 171 is configured as a flexible drinking spout, made of flexible materials such as food-grade silicone. The drinking spout structure 171 can be press-fitted with the cap 24 when the cap structure 2 is in the closed position A1 to seal the outlet channel 12 and prevent liquid from leaking to the outside from the gap between the outlet channel 12 and the inner wall of the cap 24. The drinking spout structure 171 is integrally provided with a venting structure 172. The drinking spout structure 171 is detachably connected to a drinking spout mounting hole that passes through the cap body 1. The venting structure 172 is detachably connected to a vent mounting hole that passes through the cap body 1. A venting channel is provided through the venting structure 172. A vent plug 222 corresponding to the venting channel is recessed at the bottom of the cap 24. When the cap structure 2 is in the open position A2, the venting channel is open, allowing air to circulate between the receiving cavity and the outside to balance the air pressure in the receiving cavity. When the cap structure 2 is in the closed position A1, the outlet channel 12 is closed by the cap 24, and the venting channel is closed by the vent plug 222, thereby preventing liquid in the receiving cavity from leaking to the outside from the outlet channel 12 or the venting channel. The lower end of the drinking spout structure 171 can be connected to a straw that extends into the receiving cavity. In some other embodiments, the drinking spout structure 171 can also be configured as a rigid drinking spout made of rigid materials such as food-grade plastic. A flexible seal made of materials such as silicone can also be used to seal the outlet channel 12 by providing a flexible seal made of materials such as silicone on the inner wall of the cover 24. In some other embodiments, the drinking spout structure 171 can also be configured as other drinking spout structures.

[0028] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the cap structure 2 includes two arms 26 extending from the cover portion 24 toward the first axis L1. The rear ends of the two arms 26 are respectively provided with hinge shafts 275 that are rotatably connected to the cap body 1 along the first axis L1. The locking member 4 is arranged between the two arms 26. The extension portion 25 is connected to the rear side of the cover portion 24 and is arranged between the two arms 26 corresponding to the locking member 4. The structure is compact and the two arms 26 connect the cover portion 24 and the cap body 1, which improves the overall stability of the cap structure 2.

[0029] like Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover body 1 includes two connecting seats 15 arranged at intervals along the first axis L1, a locking member 4 is arranged between the two connecting seats 15, and two hinge shafts 275 are rotatably connected to the two connecting seats 15 along the first axis L1 respectively.

[0030] In this embodiment, the connecting seat 15, the cap structure 2, and the operating member 3 are rotatably connected to each other along the first axis L1. The cap structure 2 and the operating member 3 rotate relative to the connecting seat 15 along the first axis L1, so that the cap structure 2 and the operating member 3 rotate relative to the cap body 1 around the first axis L1. Compared with setting the cap structure 2 and the operating member 3 to rotate relative to the cap body 1 around different axes, in this embodiment, a set of connecting seats 15 can be used to position the cap structure 2 and the operating member 3 relative to the cap body 1, thereby simplifying the structure and making the structural arrangement between the cap structure 2, the operating member 3, and the cap body 1 more compact.

[0031] like Figure 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the cap structure 2 and the operating member 3 are rotatably connected to the connecting seat 15 via the same connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is arranged along the first axis L1, which simplifies the structure and facilitates the mutual rotational connection between the cap structure 2, the operating member 3, and the connecting seat 15.

[0032] like Figures 7-10As shown, in this embodiment, the locking member 4 further includes a trigger part 102 disposed on the locking body 41. The operating member 3 includes a drive shaft 31 rotatably connected to the connecting seat 15 along the first axis L1, a drive part 101 disposed in the movable cavity and connected to the drive shaft 31, and an operating body 32 disposed outside the connecting seat 15 and connected to the drive shaft 31. The operating body 32 is used to operate the drive shaft 31 to rotate relative to the connecting seat 15. The drive part 101 and the trigger part 102 are arranged on the same rotation plane around the first axis L1, and the drive part 101... 1 can abut against one side of the trigger part 102 arranged around the first axis L1, and push the trigger part 102 to move along the tangential direction of the first rotation direction M as the drive shaft 31 rotates around the first rotation direction M. Thus, the force-applying operating member 3 drives the trigger part 102 to move, and then the movement of the trigger part 102 drives the locking member 4 to move from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, so as to drive the locking part 104 to move to separate from the locking port 251, thereby allowing the cap structure 2 to move from the closed position A1 to the open position A2. In this embodiment, the operator can rotate the operating component 3 to move the locking component 4 from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, thereby unlocking the cap structure 2. Since the button setting in the prior art has been eliminated, compared with the operating structure of the prior art that uses a button to unlock, the operating component 3 in this embodiment needs to rotate around the first axis L1 at a certain angle to unlock the cap structure 2. Therefore, it is not easy to accidentally unlock the cap structure 2 due to the unidirectional movement of external objects, thus preventing accidental unlocking of the cap structure 2 due to accidental contact with external objects and improving safety during carrying.

[0033] like Figure 12As shown, in this embodiment, the operating component 3 includes two drive shafts 31 respectively connected to the operating body 32, and two drive parts 101 respectively connected to the two drive shafts 31. Shaft channels 151 are respectively provided through the two connecting seats 15 along the first axis L1. The two drive shafts 31 extend into the shaft channels 151 and are rotatably connected to the two connecting seats 15. The locking component 4 is provided with two trigger parts 102 corresponding to the two drive parts 101. When the operator applies force to rotate the operating body 32 along the first rotation direction M, the two drive parts 101 abut against one side of the corresponding trigger parts 102 arranged around the first axis L1, and can rotate with the two drive shafts 31 along the first rotation direction M. Simultaneously, along the tangential direction of the first rotation direction M, they push the corresponding trigger parts 102 to move, thus jointly driving the locking component 4 from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, improving the stability of the operating component 3 driving the locking component 4 from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2. In this embodiment, the two drive units 101 are respectively protruding from the ends of the two drive shafts 31. In other embodiments, the two drive units may also be protruding from the sides of the two drive shafts. The locking member can also be driven from the locked state to the unlocked state by rotating the operating member.

[0034] like Figures 13-15As shown, in this embodiment, the cover body 1 includes a cover base and a cover member 30 mounted on the cover base for covering the locking member 4. The cover base and the cover member 30 surround to form the movable chamber. The drinking spout structure 171 protrudes from the top of the cover base, and the receiving groove 13 is recessed from the top of the cover base. The cover member 30 includes a cover panel 30a that covers the top and rear of the locking member 4, and two cover side plates 30b that are respectively arranged at intervals along the first axis L1 on both sides of the locking member 4 and respectively connected to both sides of the cover panel 30a. The cover base includes a connecting plate 10a arranged on the lower side of the cover panel 30a and two connecting plates 10b arranged on the outer sides of the two cover side plates 30b respectively. The two connecting seats 15 each include connecting plates 10b and cover side plates 30b arranged on both sides of the locking member 4 respectively. Two hinge shafts 275 are respectively hinged to two drive shafts 31 and arranged between the connecting plates 10b and cover side plates 30b of the two connecting seats 15. The structure is compact and ingenious. The two hinge shafts 275 are respectively provided with shaft channels 2751. The two hinge shafts 275 are rotatably connected to the two drive shafts 31 through the shaft channels 2751. The cover body 1, operating member 3, and cap structure 2 are rotatably connected to each other along the first axis L1 through the two sets of connecting seats 15, drive shafts 31, and hinge shafts 275, which improves the stability and reliability of the rotatable connection. In other embodiments, the cover body 1, the operating member 3, and the cap structure 2 can be rotatably connected to each other along the first axis L1 using only a set of connecting seats 15, drive shaft 31, and hinge shaft 275. In this embodiment, the drive shaft 31 can also serve as a connection structure between the cover member 30 and the cover base, achieving a multi-purpose effect. Furthermore, the cap structure 2 and the operating member 3 are rotatably connected to the connecting seat 15 via the same connecting shaft, i.e., the drive shaft 31, which is arranged along the first axis L1, simplifying the structure and facilitating the rotatable connection between the cap structure 2, the operating member 3, and the connecting seat 15. In other embodiments, the connecting seat can also be set as only part of the structure of the cover base or only part of the structure of the cover member.

[0035] like Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning block 30b1 protrudes from the outer side of the cover plate 30b, and a positioning groove 10b1 is recessed on the inner side of the connecting plate 10b. After the cover 30 is connected to the cover base, it is positioned in the positioning groove 10b1 by the convex-concave fit of the positioning block 30b1, preventing the cover 30 from rotating relative to the cover body 1 with the operating member 3. A pressing block 30a2 protrudes from the inner side of the top wall of the cover panel 30a. After the cover 30 is connected to the cover base, the pressing block 30a2 presses against the upper side of the locking member 4, preventing the locking member 4 from deflecting up and down during the movement, and improving the stability of the locking member 4 during the movement.

[0036] like Figure 12As shown, in this embodiment, the operating member 3 is provided with two positioning channels 313 that pass through the two drive shafts 31 respectively along the first axis L1. A positioning shaft 5 is rotatably connected in the positioning channel 313. One end of the positioning shaft 5 is rotatably connected to one of the positioning channels 313, and the other end is rotatably connected to the other positioning channel 313, so that the two drive shafts 31 are connected through the positioning shaft 5. The positioning shaft 5 includes a shaft part 52, a limiting head 53 connected to the outer end of the shaft part 52, a shaft part 54, and a limiting head 55 connected to the outer end of the shaft part 54. The inner ends of the shaft part 52 and the inner ends of the shaft part 54 are connected to each other. The connection can be fixed by welding or by threaded connection or detachable connection. The two outer side walls of the operating body 32 are respectively arranged on the outer sides of the two connecting seats 15. After the inner end of shaft part one 52 and the inner end of shaft part two 54 are connected to each other, the limiting head one 53 and the limiting head two 55 are respectively limited on the two outer side walls of the operating body 32 to prevent the operating member 3 from detaching from the cover body 1. Of course, in some other embodiments, the outer side walls of the two connecting seats 15 can also be arranged on the outer sides of the two outer side walls of the operating body 32, so that after the inner end of shaft part one 52 and the inner end of shaft part two 54 are connected to each other, the limiting head one 53 and the limiting head two 55 are respectively limited on the outer side walls of the two connecting seats 15, which can also prevent the operating member 3 from detaching from the cover body 1.

[0037] like Figure 7 , Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, when the locking member 4 is in the locked state B1, the trigger part 102 is arranged above the first axis L1. When the operator applies force to rotate the main body 32 along the first rotation direction M, the trigger part 102 can move towards the rear of the cover body 1 under the pushing force of the drive part 101, so as to drive the locking part 104 to move towards the rear of the cover body 1 until it separates from the locking opening 251.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 11As shown, in this embodiment, the second locking part 104 protrudes from the front side of the locking body 41 and is telescopically arranged within the locking channel 134. It can telescopically move relative to the locking channel 134 as the locking member 4 moves, so as to telescopically protrude into the receiving groove 13 and lock with the locking port 251, or telescopically retract to the rear side of the receiving groove 13 until it separates from the locking port 251. The two triggering parts 102 protrude from both sides of the locking body 41 along a line parallel to the first axis L1, and the front surfaces of the two triggering parts 102 are respectively formed with abutting surfaces 1021 for abutting against the driving part 101. When the operator rotates the operating member 3 along the first rotation direction M, the driving part 101 can push the abutment surface 1021, and with the rotation of the driving shaft 31, the trigger part 102 is pushed to move behind the first axis L1, so as to drive the locking member 4 to move from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, so that the locking part 104 moves behind the cover body 1 until it separates from the locking opening 251.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a first reset member 6 is provided between the cap structure 2 and the cap body 1. The first reset member 6 is used to reset the cap structure 2 to the open position A2. When the locking member 4 is in the unlocked state B2, the cap structure 2 can automatically spring up to the open position A2 under the force of the first reset member 6 and keep the cap structure 2 in the open position A2, thereby facilitating the opening of the cap structure 2. A second reset member 7 is provided between the locking member 4 and the cap body 1. The second reset member 7 is used to reset the locking member 4 to the locked state B1. After the operating member 3 moves the locking member 4 to the unlocked state B2, releasing the operating member 3 will cause the locking member 4 to automatically spring back to the locked state B1 under the force of the second reset member 7, thereby facilitating the keeping of the locking member 4 in the locked state B1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first reset member 6 is configured as an elastic member. When the locking member 4 is in the unlocked state B2, the cap structure 2 can rotate and spring up from the closed position A1 to the open position A2 under the elastic force of the first reset member 6, and hold the cap structure 2 in the open position A2. In this embodiment, the first reset member 6 is configured as a torsion spring. When the cap structure 2 rotates from the open position A1 to the closed position A2, it compresses the first reset member 6 and deforms and twists. After the locking member 4 moves from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, the first reset member 6 is released and can deform and stretch under its elastic force to push the cap structure 2 to rotate and spring up from the closed position A1 to the open position A2, and hold the cap structure 2 in the open position A2.

[0041] In this embodiment, two first reset members 6 are provided. The two first reset members 6 are respectively sleeved on the two drive shafts 32, and the two first reset members 6 are respectively arranged between the two hinge shafts 275 and the two connecting seats 15. When the operating member 3 is in the drive position Y3, the operating member 3 can rotate along the first rotation direction M to trigger the locking member 4 to move from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, so as to drive the locking part 104 from the state of being locked with the locking port 251 to the state of being separated from the locking port 251. This allows the cap structure 2 to rotate and spring up from the closed position A1 to the open position A2 under the elastic force of the first reset member 6, making it convenient to open the cap structure.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the operating member 3 rotates along the first rotation direction M, it drives the trigger locking member 4 to move backward from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2. The movement of the locking member 4 compresses and shortens the second reset member 7. After the operating member 3 is released, the second reset member 7 is released and can deform and extend under its elastic force, thereby pushing the locking member 4 to reset from the unlocked state B2 to the locked state B1. The movement of the locking member 4 pushes the operating member 3 to rotate along the second rotation direction N, which is opposite to the first rotation direction M, so as to facilitate the next rotation of the operating member 3 along the first rotation direction M. In this embodiment, the second reset member 7 is arranged along the front-rear direction of the first axis L1. When the operating member 3 is in the driving position Y3, the trigger part 102 can move backward of the first axis L1 under the pushing force of the driving part 101, so as to drive the locking member 4 to move backward from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, and the second reset member 7 is deformed and shortened by the locking member 4 compressing backward. After the operating member 3 is released, the second reset member 7 is released and can deform and extend forward under its elastic force, so as to push the locking member 4 to move forward from the unlocked state B2 to the locked state B1.

[0043] like Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the second locking part 104 has an inclined guide surface 1041. The height of the inclined guide surface 1041 gradually increases from the front end of the second locking part 104 to the rear end. When the cap structure 2 rotates from the open position A2 to the closed position A1, the free end of the extension 25 can push the second locking part 104 to move behind the first axis L1 by rotating downward. At the same time, the free end of the extension 25 slides from back to front along the inclined guide surface 1041 to the locking part 104 correspondingly arranged behind the locking port 251. Under the reset force of the second reset member 7, it can push the locking member 4 to move forward towards the first axis L1 until the second locking part 104 extends into the locking port 251 and locks the cap structure 2 in the closed position A1. This allows the operator to switch the cap structure 2 to the closed position A1 and lock it in the closed position A1 by the locking member 4, making it convenient to close the cap structure 2.

[0044] like Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking body 41 includes a locking bracket 411, a first locking plate 412, two second locking plates 413, and a sliding sleeve 414. The first locking plate 412 extends vertically from the front of the locking bracket 411, and the second locking part 104 protrudes forward from the front of the locking bracket 411 and the front wall of the first locking plate 412, improving the stability of the connection between the second locking plate 413 and the locking bracket 411. The two second locking plates 413 extend vertically from both sides of the locking bracket 411, respectively. The second locking plates 413 guide the movement of the locking member 4 along the guide plate 161 on the cover body 1 when it moves, ensuring that the locking member 4 moves smoothly in the front-back direction. The sliding sleeve 414 connects the rear of the locking bracket 411 and the second locking plate 413, improving the stability of the connection between the sliding sleeve 414 and the locking bracket 411. The sliding sleeve 414 is slidably sleeved relative to the operating member 3 along the front-back direction of the first axis L1. The sliding sleeve 414 is sleeved on the positioning shaft 5 and can slide back and forth relative to the positioning shaft 5 when moving between the locked state B1 and the unlocked state B2. The trigger part 102 is provided to protrude outward from both sides of the sliding sleeve 414. Two locking plates 413 are arranged at intervals to form a reset area. The second reset member 7 is arranged in the reset area. The front end of the second reset member 7 abuts against the locking plate 412 and the rear end abuts against the reset plate 162 on the cover body 1, so as to lock the cap structure 2 in the closed position A1. When the second reset member 7 drives the locking member 4 to move forward, it can drive the driving part 101 to move forward through the trigger part 102, thereby linking the operating member 3 to rotate from the second state X2 to the minimum driving position Y3 along the second rotation direction N, so as to facilitate the next rotation of the operating member 3 along the first rotation direction M to switch from the minimum driving position Y3 to the second state and unlock the cap structure 2. Two guide plates 161 are provided corresponding to the two locking plates 413. The cover body 1 is also provided with a bottom plate 163 connected between the bottom of the reset plate 162, the bottom of the two guide plates 161, and the rear side wall of the receiving groove 13. The bottom plate 163, the reset plate 162, the two guide plates 161, and the rear side wall of the receiving groove 13 form a reset groove for arranging the second reset member 7 and the locking plate 413. In some other embodiments, the second locking part may only protrude forward from the front part of the locking bracket, or only protrude forward from the front wall of the first locking plate. The sliding sleeve may only be connected to the rear part of the locking bracket, or only connected to the rear part of the second locking plate.

[0045] In this embodiment, the operating member 3 can switch around the first axis L1 from a first state X1, which keeps the locking member 4 in a locked state B1, to a second state X2, which keeps the locking member 4 in an unlocked state B2. When the operating member 3 rotates along the first rotation direction M at the driving position Y3, it is in the first state X1. The driving position Y3 is the position where the operating member 3 triggers the locking member 4 to move from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2. When the operating member 3 is in the driving position Y3, the driving part 101 of the operating member 3 can abut against the trigger part 102 of the locking member 4. The operating member 3 can rotate along the first rotation direction M, applying a pushing force to the trigger part 102, either along the first rotation direction M or tangentially to it. This triggers the locking member 4 from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2. The rotation of the operating member 3 drives the trigger part 102 to move, and the movement of the trigger part 102 causes the entire locking member 4 to move from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, thus allowing the cap structure 2 to move from the closed position A1 to the open position A2. When the operating member 3 is in the non-driving position, rotating along the first rotation direction M or the second direction N will not trigger the movement of the trigger part 102.

[0046] In this embodiment, the operating element 3 is a handle ring, and the operating body is a ring body. The ring body is constructed as a non-closed ring structure, and is used by the operator to contact and apply force to rotate the handle around the first axis L1. Two drive shafts 31 are respectively connected to both ends of the ring body, and the two drive shafts 31 are respectively configured as convex shaft structures protruding from the inner sidewalls of the two ends of the ring body. In other embodiments, the operating element 3 can also be configured as a knob, lever, or other operating structure. Since the handle ring and the cap structure 2 rotate relative to the cap body 1 along the same axis, i.e., the first axis L1, it is easy to avoid the intersection of the rotation trajectory of the handle ring and the rotation trajectory of the cap structure 2, and to prevent the inner side of the handle ring and the front side of the cap structure 2 from interfering with each other during rotation and affecting the rotation.

[0047] When the handle is in the carrying position Y2, it is in the first state X1. The carrying position Y2 is the position where the handle is raised to lift the cup. The handle is in the first state X1 when it rotates from the carrying position Y2 to the driving position Y3 along the first rotation direction M. When the handle is in the storage position Y1, it is in the first state X1. The storage position Y1 is the position where the handle is resting or closed on the storage seat 11 outside the lid body 1. The carrying position Y2 is located between the storage position Y1 and the driving position Y3. The handle is in the first state X1 when it rotates from the storage position Y1 to the driving position Y3 along the first rotation direction M. In this embodiment, the button setting in the prior art is eliminated, and a linkage locking structure of the handle ring and the locking member 4 is used to lock and unlock the cap structure 2. When the handle ring is in the driving position Y3, the operator can rotate the handle ring along the first rotation direction M to drive the locking member 4 from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, thereby unlocking the cap structure 2. According to the lever principle, compared with the operation structure of the prior art that uses a button to unlock, the operation is easier and less strenuous. Moreover, the operator can switch from the first state X1 to the second state X2 by rotating the handle ring. When the handle is in the carrying position Y2, the locking member 4 moves from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2, unlocking the cap structure 2. This allows for simultaneous opening and unlocking of the handle and cap structure 2, making operation more convenient. When the handle is in the carrying position Y2, the handle does not trigger the locking member 4. The operator can operate the cap structure 2 while pulling the handle to lift the cup, causing the cap structure 2 to push the locking member 4 from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2 via the extension 25, moving it from the open position A2 to the closed position A1. After the cap structure 2 enters the closed position A1, the locking member 4... Under the action of the second reset member 7, the cap structure 2 is reset from the unlocked state B2 to the locked state B1, so as to keep the cap structure 2 in the closed position A1, which facilitates the quick locking of the cap structure 2. Since the locking member 4 is located in the movable cavity of the cap body 1, the cap structure 2 will not be accidentally unlocked due to the accidental contact of the locking member 4 by external objects. At this time, the movement of the locking member 4 is only affected by the handle ring. When the handle ring is in the carrying position Y2, it does not trigger the movement of the locking member 4. This also avoids the cap structure 2 being accidentally unlocked due to the handle ring driving the locking member 4 to unlock the cap structure 2 during the movement of the cup. When the handle is in the storage position Y1, it can be placed or closed on the storage base 11, making it convenient to put the cup in the backpack for carrying. When the handle is in the storage position Y1, it is in the first state X1, ensuring that the locking member 4 is in the locked state B1. This prevents the handle from driving the locking member 4 to unlock the cap structure 2 during the cup carrying process, thus ensuring safety during the cup lifting and carrying process while allowing the locking member 4 to unlock the cap structure 2 by rotating the handle.

[0048] In this embodiment, the locking element 4 is not triggered when the handle ring rotates between the storage position Y1 and the driving position Y3 along the first rotation direction M or along the second rotation direction N opposite to the first rotation direction M. When the operator rotates the handle ring along the first rotation direction M, it can sequentially pass through the storage position Y1, the carrying position Y2, and the driving position Y3 to the second state X2. Thus, while opening the handle ring by rotating it along the first rotation direction M, the cap structure 2 can be unlocked simultaneously, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0049] In this embodiment, the handle ring rotates from the storage position Y1 to the carrying position Y2 by a set angle along the first rotation direction M, so that the carrying position Y2 and the storage position Y1 are arranged at a certain set angle. This can prevent the handle ring from interfering with the movement of the locking member 4 toward the unlocked state B2 when the operator operates the cap structure 2 to lock while pulling the handle ring in the carrying position Y2.

[0050] In this embodiment, the handle ring rotates from the carrying position Y2 to the driving position Y3 by a set angle along the first rotation direction M, so that the carrying position Y2 and the driving position Y3 are respectively arranged at intervals to form a certain set angle. This can prevent the handle ring from driving the locking member 4 to unlock the cap structure 2 due to the cup shaking when the operator pulls the handle ring to move the cup in the carrying position Y2.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the handle is in the storage position Y1, at least a part of the handle body is placed on the storage base 11 for easy storage of the handle. At this time, the drive unit 101 is located on one side of the trigger unit 102 along the first axis L1 and is spaced apart from the side of the trigger unit 102 along the first axis L1 to avoid the drive unit 101 abutting against one side of the trigger unit 102, which would cause the handle to interfere with the movement of the locking member 4 toward the unlocked state B2 when the operator operates the cap structure 2 to lock it. Thus, when the handle is in the storage position Y1, the cap structure 2 can be operated to move from the open position A2 to the closed position A1 and locked in the closed position A1 by the locking member 4 under the force of the second reset member 7. When the handle is in the carrying position Y2, the side of the handle body away from the first axis L1 is spaced apart above the storage base 11, making it convenient for the operator to lift the handle and move the cup. At this time, the drive unit 101 is arranged between the two sides of the trigger unit 102 along the first axis L1, and the two sides of the drive unit 101 along the first axis L1 are spaced apart from the two sides of the trigger unit 102 along the first axis L1, to avoid the drive unit 101 and the trigger unit 102 from touching each other, which would cause the operator to accidentally touch the cap. During the locking process of structure 2, the handle ring interferes with the movement of the locking member 4 toward the unlocked state B2, thereby enabling the cap structure 2 to move from the open position A2 to the closed position A1 when the handle ring is in the storage position Y1, and to be locked in the closed position A1 by the locking member 4 under the force of the second reset member 7; this avoids the driving part 101 and the trigger part 102 from abutting against each other, which would cause the cup to shake and the handle ring to drive the locking member 4 to unlock the cap structure 2 when the operator lifts the handle ring to move the cup. When the handle is in the drive position Y3, the side of the handle that is away from the first axis L1 is arranged at intervals on the side of the storage base 11. At this time, the drive part 101 is located on the other side of the trigger part 102 arranged along the first axis L1, and the drive part 101 abuts against the trigger part 102. It can rotate with the handle part along the first rotation direction M and push the trigger part 102 to move along the tangential direction of the first rotation direction M, so as to drive the locking member 4 to move from the locked state B1 to the unlocked state B2.

[0052] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the storage base 11 is arranged along the outer side of the lid body 1 and is configured to prevent the handle from crossing the storage base 11 and rotating relative to the lid body 1 in the second rotation direction N. Thus, in the storage position Y1, the handle is limited to the upper side of the storage base 11 and stored around the outer side of the lid body 1, saving space occupied by the handle and making it convenient to place the cup in a backpack for carrying. The storage base 11 is arranged horizontally along the lid body 1. When the handle is in the storage position Y1, it rests on the storage base 11 and is arranged horizontally relative to the lid body 1, facilitating stable storage of the handle. The rotation angle between the drive position Y3 and the storage position Y1 is greater than 180°, which better prevents accidental unlocking of the cap structure 2 due to accidental collision of the handle with the locking member 4 caused by the unidirectional movement of foreign objects inside the backpack. It also better prevents the handle from rotating relative to the lid body 1 to the drive position Y3 and accidentally unlocking the cap structure 2 when the operator lifts or shakes the cup. Optionally, the rotation angle range between the driving position Y3 and the storage position Y1 is 190°~270°, especially 195°, 200°, 205°, 210°, 215°, 220°, 225°, 230°, 235°, 240°, 245°, 250°, 255°, 260°, and 265°; the rotation angle range between the carrying position Y2 and the storage position Y1 is 90°~140°, especially 95°, 100°, and 105°. 130°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, and 135° are suitable for most cups currently available. This design ensures a large angular gap between the storage position Y1 and the carrying position Y2 and the driving position Y3. As a result, when the handle is in the storage position Y1 or the carrying position Y2, the handle is less likely to rotate to the driving position Y3 due to accidental contact with external objects or the shaking of the lid body 1 relative to the handle. This ensures safety when lifting the cup and moving the cup.

[0053] In this embodiment, the handle includes a first buckle (not shown in the figure), and a second buckle (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outer side of the cover body 1. The second buckle is arranged above the storage base 11. When the handle is in the storage position Y1, the bottom surface of the handle body is supported and limited on the upper side of the support platform 111 on the top side of the storage base 11, and the top surface of the first buckle is limited on the lower side of the second buckle, thereby locking the handle in the storage position Y1 and preventing the operator from accidentally rotating the handle due to shaking when carrying the cup in the backpack. When it is necessary to rotate the handle in the first rotation direction M, the operator can apply a little force to make the first buckle pass over the second buckle, so that it can rotate freely.

[0054] In other embodiments, the first reset member 6 may also be configured as a rubber band, tension spring, compression spring, elastic silicone or other elastic member capable of providing reset force, and the second reset member 7 may also be replaced by elastic silicone or other elastic member with reset function.

[0055] like Figure 16 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, a cup is also provided, including a cup body 9 with a receiving cavity and a cup lid as described above connected to the cup body 9. The cup of this embodiment, due to the cup lid provided by this utility model, is also more ergonomic and convenient for drinking.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0057] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present utility model.
