[0038] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present invention will be given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Since it is currently difficult to manufacture a paper-plastic bottle cap with internal threads, the existing paper-plastic containers can only choose plastic bottle caps or, by means of adhesion, use a disposable paper-plastic cover plate structure for sealing. Once opened, it cannot be sealed again, which is inconvenient to use.

[0040] To solve the problem that it is currently difficult to manufacture a paper-plastic bottle cap, the present invention provides a bottle cap. Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the bottle cap includes a covering body 1 and at least two locking bodies 2. Among them, a cylindrical hollow accommodating space 11 is provided inside the covering body 1, that is, the inside of the covering body 1 presents a cylindrical hollow accommodating space 11. The locking body 2 is in an arc plate shape, and a locking structure 21 is provided on the inner circular side of the locking body 2. At least two locking bodies 2 are assembled to form a cylindrical locking inner shell. The locking inner shell is adapted to be placed in the accommodating space 11, so that the covering body 1 covers the outside of the locking inner shell, and the covering body 1 is used to limit and fix the locking inner shell. The materials of the covering body 1 and the locking body 2 are both plant fibers. Both the covering body 1 and the locking body 2 can be manufactured by a plant fiber pulping and forming process.

[0041] Specifically, the covering body 1 includes a cylindrical side wall and a bottom plate connected to one end of the side wall. The accommodating space 11 is formed by enclosing with the side wall and the bottom plate together; the number of the locking bodies 2 can be determined according to the radian of the locking bodies 2 and the accommodating space 11; the sizes of several locking bodies 2, that is, the radian of each locking body 2, can be the same or different; for simplifying the structure and reducing the manufacturing and assembly difficulty, it is preferred in this application that the structures and sizes of all the locking bodies 2 are the same; for facilitating the connection of the bottle cap to the bottle mouth with external threads or other container mouths by screwing, it is preferred in this application that a locking structure 21 is arranged in the locking body 2. Specifically, the locking structure 21 is arranged on the inner arc surface of each locking body 2. Thus, when several locking bodies 2 are assembled to form a cylindrical locking inner shell, the locking structures 21 on the inner arc surfaces of each locking body 2 are connected in sequence to form a complete locking structure on the inner wall of the cylindrical locking inner shell, which is suitable for connecting with the bottle mouth by screwing or other means.

[0042] During assembly, each locking body 2 can be assembled in sequence to form a cylindrical locking inner shell first, and then the cylindrical locking inner shell is placed in the accommodating space 11 in the covering body 1, so that one end of the locking inner shell abuts against the bottom plate of the covering body 1, and the outer wall of the collarbone inner shell abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating space 11 to complete the assembly; or each locking body 2 can be placed in the accommodating space 11 in sequence for assembly respectively, so as to limit and fix the locking inner shell formed by several locking bodies 2 through the covering body 1, and connect with the connection structure such as the external thread of the bottle mouth through the locking structure 21 on the inner wall of the locking inner shell.

[0043] For facilitating the production by the paper-plastic production process, the bottle cap in this application is designed as a split structure including the covering body 1 and several locking bodies 2. Since each split structure can be produced by the paper-plastic process, therefore, the bottle cap provided in this application can be produced by the paper-plastic process for each split structure respectively first, and then each split structure is assembled, and a bottle cap made of plant fiber material and having an internal locking structure 21 suitable for connecting with the external thread can be obtained. By replacing the plastic material bottle cap in the prior art with the paper-plastic material bottle cap, the use of plastic can be greatly reduced, the emission of plastic waste can be reduced, and the environmental pollution problem can be alleviated.

[0044] The bottle cap provided by the present invention divides the bottle cap into a covering body 1 arranged on the outside and several locking bodies 2 arranged in the covering body 1 and provided with a locking structure 21, so that the bottle cap can be produced by the existing paper-plastic process, thus solving the problem that it is difficult to produce a paper-plastic material bottle cap at present.

[0045] To simplify the structure of the bottle cap, the present application preferably sets the number of locking solids 2 to two. The cross-sections of the two locking solids 2 are both semi-circular structures, so that a cylindrical locking inner shell can be formed by fitting the two locking solids 2 together, while realizing the manufacture of the bottle cap made of plant fiber material and simplifying the production process and assembly process of the bottle cap.

[0046] Furthermore, to improve the stability of the bottle cap structure, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 the present application preferably sets at least two grooves 12 at the open end of the covering body 1, that is, the end far from the bottom plate. The specific number of the grooves 12 is the same as the number of the locking solids 2; a connecting section 22 is provided on the locking solid 2, and the connecting section 22 is adapted to be connected to the covering body 1 through the groove 12.

[0047] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 each locking solid 2 is connected to the corresponding groove 12 through the connecting section 22, and when the locking solids 2 are not assembled in the accommodating space 11, the locking structures 21 in the locking solids 2 are all located on the side close to the bottom plate of the covering body 1; during assembly, taking advantage of the good bendability and toughness of the paper-plastic product, each locking solid 2 bends the connecting section 22 into the accommodating space 11 in sequence until the locking solid 2 is placed in the accommodating space 11. At this time, the connecting section 22 fills the groove 12; after each locking solid 2 is placed in the accommodating space 11 according to the above method in sequence, as shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 8 the locking structures 21 on each locking solid 2 are all located on the inner wall and are connected in sequence to form a connecting structure adapted to be connected to the external thread of the bottle mouth.

[0048] Among them, the connecting section 22 can be connected to the covering body 1 by means of bonding or the like.

[0049] Furthermore, when the locking solids 2 and the covering body 1 are assembled, the connection strength between the locking solids 2 and the covering body 1 can be improved by means of interference fit to improve the stability of the bottle cap structure; they can also be connected by means of bonding. The present application preferably bonds the locking solids 2 and the covering body 1, that is, the outer arc surfaces of the locking solids 2 are connected to the inner wall of the accommodating space 11 by bonding.

[0050] To facilitate the connection of the bottle cap to structures with external threads such as the bottle mouth, the locking structure 21 in the present application can be several convex structures.

[0051] Specifically, several convex structures are set as several circular ring structures adapted to the external thread. When connected to the external thread structure, through several annular convex structures, they are sequentially screwed into the corresponding groove parts in the external thread, so that the connection with the external thread can be realized by rotation, and thus the sealing can be realized.

[0052] The shapes of some of the convex structures can be any regular or irregular geometric shapes. For the convenience of tightening and reducing the tightening difficulty, the present application preferably uses circular protrusions as the convex structures, so as to reduce the tightening resistance by the contact between the circular protrusions and the corresponding groove structures during the tightening process.

[0053] Furthermore, the locking structure 21 provided on the inner arc surface of the locking body 2 can also be a thread structure. Then, by fitting a number of locking bodies 2 together, an internal thread adapted to the external thread is formed on the inner wall of the locking inner shell. See Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, and then by the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread, the tightening and sealing of the container can be achieved.

[0054] For the convenience of tightening the bottle cap with the bottle body, the present application preferably provides an anti-slip structure 13 on the outer circumference of the covering body 1, and the friction between the bottle cap and the hand is increased through the anti-slip structure 13 during the tightening process, thereby reducing the difficulty of tightening and loosening.

[0055] The anti-slip structure 13 can be structures such as protrusions provided on the outside of the covering body 1. The present application preferably uses a number of alternately arranged anti-slip grooves as the anti-slip structure 13, so as to help increase the aesthetic degree while reducing the difficulty of tightening and loosening.

[0056] Furthermore, the present application preferably distributes the anti-slip grooves in the vertical direction, that is, the anti-slip grooves are distributed on the side wall of the covering body 1 along a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate of the covering body 1, so that when tightening or loosening the bottle cap, the direction of the force applied to the bottle cap is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the anti-slip grooves, thereby improving the anti-slip effect.

[0057] Although the present disclosure is disclosed as above, the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and these changes and modifications will all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
