[0027] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a dual-flow regulating bottle cap, comprising an outer cap 3, a middle cap 2, and an inner cap 1. The inner cap 1 can be used with various types of solution bottles, the middle cap 2 is used to switch the flow rate, and the outer cap 3 can cover the bottle body and achieve a seal with the inner cap 1. The details are as follows.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner cover 1 is nested on the bottle mouth. The inner cover 1 and the bottle mouth can be nested by interference fit or integrally formed. In this embodiment, the inner cover 1 and the bottle mouth are rotationally connected by the most common threaded structure. The inner cover 1 is provided with a first liquid outlet 11, a first sealing ring 12, a liquid outlet ring 13, an auxiliary liquid outlet hole 14 and a first limit block 15. The first liquid outlet 11 is arranged in the center of the top plate of the inner cover 1, and the edge of the first liquid outlet 11 is folded upward to form the liquid outlet ring 13. The auxiliary liquid outlet holes 14 are distributed around the liquid outlet ring 13. The first sealing ring 12 is arranged at the lower end of the top plate of the inner cover 1 and is engaged with the inner side wall of the bottle mouth. The first limit block 15 is arranged at the upper end part of the outer wall of the inner cover 1 and is at the same height as the top plate.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the middle cover 2 is nested within the inner cover 1. The middle cover 2 is provided with a second liquid outlet 21 and a second stopper 22. The second liquid outlet 21 is located in the center of the top plate of the middle cover 2, corresponding to the first liquid outlet 11, so that the second liquid outlet 21 forms a chimeric connection with the outer wall of the liquid outlet ring 13. The second stopper 22 is located on the inner sidewall of the middle cover 2, and the second stopper 22 and the first stopper 15 are located in a vertically corresponding position.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer cover 3 is nested within the middle cover 2. A second sealing ring 31 is provided on the outer cover 3, located at the lower end of the top plate of the outer cover 3 and configured to form a chiseled connection with the inner wall of the liquid outlet ring 13. The outer cover 3 and the bottle body are connected via a snap-fit mechanism. Specifically, a snap 32 is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the outer cover 3, which engages with a snap point on the bottle body to close the cover.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first sealing ring 12 is preferably connected to the inner side wall of the bottle mouth by an interference fit, and the second liquid outlet 21 is connected to the outer wall of the liquid outlet ring 13 by an interference fit, so as to prevent leakage when the bottle cap is in the closed state. If necessary, silicone can be added to the second liquid outlet 21 to strengthen the seal.

[0033] In this embodiment, a third sealing ring 4 may be further provided between the top of the bottle mouth and the top plate of the inner cover 1 to provide multiple sealing guarantees.

[0034] The setting of the auxiliary liquid outlet 14 can be adjusted accordingly according to the viscosity, flow rate and usage of the product to meet the new needs of consumers on the market. It is preferred to use discontinuous arc long strip holes distributed concentrically with the first liquid outlet 11.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first stopper 15 and the second stopper 22 are both arc-shaped long strips. This facilitates assembly of the middle cover 2 and the inner cover 1. When installing the middle cover 2, the first stopper 15 and the second stopper 22 are offset left and right relative to each other. Once the middle cover 2 is in place, rotating the middle cover 2 will align the first stopper 15 and the second stopper 22 in a corresponding vertical relationship.

[0036] The inner cover 1 and the middle cover 2 are generally made of PE polyethylene or PP polypropylene, preferably PE polyethylene; the outer cover 3 is made of PP polypropylene or ABS plastic, preferably PP polypropylene. The bottle body in this embodiment is made of PET polyethylene terephthalate.

[0037] The working principle of this embodiment is:

[0038] 1. When only the outer cover 3 is opened, the first limit block 15 on the inner cover 1 contacts the top plate of the middle cover 2, so that the auxiliary liquid outlet 14 is sealed by the top plate of the middle cover 2. The liquid in the bottle only flows out from the first liquid outlet 11 of the inner cover 1. At this time, the liquid outflow is small, which is suitable for small-dose use in daily skin care.

[0039] 2. Pull up the middle cover 2 for a certain distance, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second stopper 22 and the first stopper 15 now contact each other, restricting the movement of the middle cover 2. Simultaneously, the second liquid outlet 21 and the liquid outlet ring 13 separate, forming a gap. The liquid in the bottle now flows not only from the first liquid outlet 11 of the inner cover 1, but also through the auxiliary liquid outlet hole 14 on the inner cover 1 and the second liquid outlet 21 of the middle cover 2. This increases the liquid flow rate, making it suitable for use with cotton pads or facial masks during wet compresses.

[0040] The above describes in detail the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concepts of the present invention without inventive effort. Therefore, any technical solutions that can be derived by those skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation based on the concepts of the present invention and the prior art should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
