[0035] In the following description, if it is indicated to refer to a specific figure or as shown in a specific figure, it is only used to emphasize that most of the relevant content in the subsequent description appears in the specific figure, but it does not limit the subsequent description to only refer to the specific figure.

[0036] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 6 The bottle cap 1 of the present invention is designed to be locked to a bottle mouth structure B1 of a bottle body B to seal the bottle mouth structure B1. The dimensions of the bottle cap 1 can be varied based on needs and are not limited to being locked to the mouth of a plastic bottle. The bottle cap 1 comprises a top plate 11, a hollow tubular structure 12, an annular sidewall 13, a bottom plate 14, a first barrier structure 15, a second barrier structure 16, and at least one water-soluble flavoring component 17.

[0037] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, the top plate 11 has a first opening 111 extending through the top plate 11. The hollow tubular structure 12 is connected to one side of the top plate 11, and the first opening 111 communicates with the interior passage of the hollow tubular structure 12. The top plate 11 may be, for example, a circular plate. One side of the annular sidewall 13 is connected to the periphery of the top plate 11. The inner side of the annular sidewall 13 has a plurality of locking structures 131, which are configured to interlock with the plurality of locking structures 131 on the outer edge of the bottle mouth structure B1.

[0038] The periphery of the bottom plate 14 is connected to the inner side of the annular sidewall 13 (for example, by mutual adhesion, mutual engagement, or integral connection), and the top plate 11, the annular sidewall 13, and the bottom plate 14 together form a receiving space 1A, in which a water-soluble edible flavoring component 17 is provided. The bottom plate 14 has a second opening 141 that extends through the bottom plate 14 and communicates with the receiving space 1A. The first opening 111 is also communicated with the receiving space 1A. The composition and appearance of the water-soluble edible flavoring component 17 can vary according to needs and are not limited here. In one specific embodiment, the bottle cap 1 can include multiple water-soluble edible flavoring components 17, and each water-soluble edible flavoring component 17 can be a water-soluble flavoring granule. For example, each water-soluble edible flavoring component 14 can be espresso granules, espresso powder granules, sugar granules, creamer granules, edible pigment granules, etc., which can vary according to needs.

[0039] It should be noted that, in one specific application, the bottle cap 1 may also include water-soluble edible seasoning components 17 of at least two different flavors. For example, one of the water-soluble edible components 17 may be coffee particles, and the other water-soluble edible component 17 may be creamer particles, or one of the water-soluble edible components 17 may be sugar particles, etc. Of course, the specific flavors of the water-soluble edible seasoning components 17 included in the bottle cap 1 are not limited to the above examples.

[0040] In one specific application, the bottom plate 14 is detachably connected to the annular sidewall 13, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In various embodiments, the top plate 11, the annular sidewall 13, and the bottom plate 14 may also be integrally formed. For example, the top plate 11, the annular sidewall 13, and the bottom plate 14 may be manufactured by 3D printing. There is no limitation on how the bottom plate 14 is detachably mounted within the annular sidewall 13.

[0041] The first blocking structure 15 is provided on the top plate 11. The first blocking structure 15 can be made integrally with the top plate 11, but is not limited thereto. In different embodiments, the first blocking structure 15 can also be a component independent of the top plate 11 (for example, a sheet-like structure with a fine mesh), and the first blocking structure 15 can be fixed to the top plate 11 by snapping, bonding, etc. The first blocking structure 15 is located between the first opening 111 and the accommodating space 1A. The first blocking structure 15 is used to block the water-soluble edible flavoring component 17 located in the accommodating space 1A from leaving the accommodating space 1A through the first opening 111. In actual applications, the first blocking structure 15 can, for example, include a plurality of first perforations 151, and the aperture of each first perforation 151 is smaller than the size of each water-soluble edible flavoring component 17. In actual applications, the first blocking structure 15 and the top plate 11 can be made integrally.

[0042] The second blocking structure 16 is disposed on the bottom plate 14. In practical applications, the second blocking structure 16 is integrally formed with the bottom plate 14, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In various embodiments, the second blocking structure 16 may be a component independent of the bottom plate 14 (e.g., a sheet-like structure having a fine mesh), and the second blocking structure 16 may be fixed to the bottom plate 14 by means of snapping, bonding, or the like.

[0043] The second blocking structure 16 is located between the second opening 141 and the accommodating space 1A. The second blocking structure 16 is used to prevent the water-soluble flavoring component 17 located within the accommodating space 1A from leaving the accommodating space 1A through the second opening 141. In practical applications, the second blocking structure 16 may include a plurality of second perforations 161, each of which has a diameter smaller than that of each water-soluble flavoring component 17. In practical applications, the second blocking structure 16 and the base plate 14 may be integrally formed.

[0044] The first blocking structure 15 and the second blocking structure 16 are mainly used to block the water-soluble edible flavoring component 17 located in the accommodating space 1A from leaving the accommodating space 1A directly through the first opening 111 or the second opening 141. The liquid entering through the second opening 141 can enter the accommodating space 1A through the second blocking structure 16, and the liquid located in the accommodating space 1A can leave the accommodating space 1A through the first opening 111 through the first blocking structure 15.

[0045] like Figure 6As shown, when the bottle cap 1 is locked to the bottle mouth structure B1 and the bottle body B is turned upside down, the liquid in the bottle body B will enter the accommodating space 1A through the second opening 141 and the multiple first perforations 151 of the second blocking structure 16. The multiple water-soluble edible flavoring components 17 located in the accommodating space 1A will dissolve in the liquid, turning the liquid into a flavored liquid. The flavored liquid can then pass through the multiple first perforations 151 of the first blocking structure 15 and leave the bottle cap 1 from the first opening 111. It then flows along the hollow tube into the user's mouth, and the user can then drink the flavored liquid.

[0046] In various embodiments, the water-soluble flavoring component 17 may also be a water-soluble flavoring capsule (e.g., similar to a pill), containing at least one water-soluble flavoring agent. The water-soluble flavoring agent may be, for example, solid flavoring particles or non-solid flavoring agents (e.g., various concentrated edible liquids or various edible extracts). In embodiments where the water-soluble flavoring component 17 is a water-soluble flavoring capsule, the bottle cap 1 may include one or more flavoring components 17 as needed.

[0047] In the embodiment where the bottle cap 1 has multiple water-soluble capsules, the dissolution time of the multiple water-soluble capsules upon contact with the liquid may be different. In this way, each time the user drinks, only some of the water-soluble capsules will dissolve, rather than all of them dissolving at the same time.

[0048] In contrast, when the user lays bottle B flat, the liquid originally in storage space 1A will flow back into bottle B, leaving only a small amount of liquid in storage space 1A, or even no liquid at all. Consequently, any undissolved water-soluble flavoring components 17 in storage space 1A will not continue to dissolve, and the remaining undissolved water-soluble flavoring components 17 will dissolve during the user's next drink. In contrast, with conventional flavoring straws, liquid will remain in the straw after the user uses it to draw liquid, and the water-soluble flavoring components in the straw may continue to dissolve.

[0049] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the bottle cap 1 may further include a guide structure 18, and the guide structure 18 is disposed on the top plate 11. The guide structure 18 may be integrally formed with the top plate 11, but is not limited thereto; in different embodiments, the guide structure 18 may also be a structure independent of the top plate 11, and the guide structure 18 may be fixed to the top plate 11 by snapping, bonding, etc. In different embodiments, the guide structure 18 may also be disposed on the bottom plate 14. The guide structure 18 is located in the accommodating space 1A, and a portion of the guide structure 18 is located between the first blocking structure 15 and the second blocking structure 16. The guide structure 18 is used to change the flow path of the liquid in the accommodating space 1A.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the side of the flow-guiding structure 18 opposite to the side connected to the top plate 11 may abut against the side of the bottom plate 14 located within the accommodating space 1A. The top plate 11, the flow-guiding structure 18, the bottom plate 14, and the annular sidewall 13 may collectively form a fluid channel 1B, and the first and second blocking structures 15, 16 may be located at opposite ends of the fluid channel 1B. In this way, liquid entering the accommodating space 1A through the second opening 141 will be able to flow along the fluid channel 1B and exit the accommodating space 1A through the first opening 111. Due to the provision of the flow-guiding structure 18, liquid entering the accommodating space 1A will flow along the fluid channel 1B, thus allowing the liquid to flow fully within the accommodating space 1A and fully contact the water-soluble edible flavoring component 17 located within the accommodating space 1A.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in different applications, the bottle cap 1 of this embodiment can be sold without at least one water-soluble flavoring component, and the periphery of the bottom plate 14 can be detachably connected to the inner side of the annular sidewall 11. In other words, after purchasing the bottle cap 1, the user can remove the bottom plate 14, then place the desired water-soluble flavoring component into the receptacle formed by the top plate 11 and the annular sidewall 13, and finally, reinstall the bottom plate 14 on the inner side of the annular sidewall 13.

[0052] Please also refer to Figures 8 to 13 , which respectively show schematic diagrams of a second embodiment of the bottle cap of the present invention. The bottle cap 2 of this embodiment is used to lock onto a bottle mouth structure B1 of a bottle body B. The bottle cap 2 comprises a top plate 21, an annular sidewall 22, a liquid storage member 23, a plurality of water-soluble edible flavoring members 24, a blocking structure 25, and a flip-top cover 28. In various embodiments, the bottle cap 2 may not include the flip-top cover 28.

[0053] The top plate 21 has a first opening 211 extending through the top plate 21. The top plate 21 may also include a hollow tubular structure 212 disposed on one side of the top plate 21, with one end of the hollow tubular structure 212 communicating with the first opening 211. One side of the annular sidewall 22 is connected to the periphery of the top plate 21. The inner side of the annular sidewall 22 has multiple locking structures 221 configured to interlock with multiple locking structures 221 on the outer edge of the bottle mouth structure B1. The top plate 21 and the annular sidewall 22 may be integrally formed.

[0054] The liquid storage member 23 includes a bottom plate 231, an auxiliary ring sidewall 232, an intermediate blocking structure 233, and a connecting structure 234. The bottom plate 231, auxiliary ring sidewall 232, intermediate blocking structure 233, and connecting structure 234 can be integrally formed. The bottom plate 231 is located at one end of the liquid storage member 23. The auxiliary ring sidewall 232 is connected to the periphery of the bottom plate 231, and the auxiliary ring sidewall 232 and the bottom plate 231 together form a liquid storage tank 23A.

[0055] The intermediate blocking structure 233 is located at the other end of the liquid storage member 23. The communication structure 234 is connected to the auxiliary ring sidewall 232. The communication structure 234 has a communication channel 234A. The communication channel 234A has a second opening 234B and a third opening 234C at opposite ends thereof. Specifically, the communication structure 234 can be a hollow tubular structure.

[0056] The top plate 21, the annular sidewall 22, and the intermediate blocking structure 233 collectively form a receiving space 2A, which communicates with the liquid reservoir 23A. A portion of the communication structure 234 is located within the receiving space 2A, and the third opening 234C is located within the receiving space 2A. A plurality of water-soluble flavoring components 24 are disposed within the receiving space 2A.

[0057] The intermediate blocking structure 233 is used to prevent the multiple water-soluble flavoring components 24 located in the accommodating space 2A from entering the liquid storage tank 23A. For example, the liquid storage member 23 may further include multiple walls 235, one end of each wall 235 may be fixed to the bottom plate 231, and the multiple walls 235 are spaced apart in the liquid storage tank 23A. The ends of the multiple walls 235 opposite to the ends fixed to the bottom plate 231 may collectively constitute the intermediate blocking structure 233. That is, the gaps between the walls 235 are smaller than the size of each water-soluble flavoring component 24, and each water-soluble flavoring component 24 is supported by one end of the multiple walls 235 and does not fall into the liquid storage tank 23A. Of course, in different embodiments, the intermediate blocking structure 233 may also be a component independent of the liquid storage component 23, and the intermediate blocking structure 233 may be fixed to the opening of the liquid storage tank 23A by snapping, bonding, etc.; for example, the intermediate blocking structure 233 may be a component similar to a filter.

[0058] A blocking structure 25 is disposed on the top plate 21 and is located between the first opening 211 and the accommodating space 2A. The blocking structure 25 is configured to prevent the water-soluble flavoring component 24 located within the accommodating space 2A from leaving the accommodating space 2A through the first opening 211. The blocking structure 25 referred to herein is the same as the blocking structure 25 described in the previous embodiment.

[0059] like Figures 10 to 13 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the bottle cap 2 may further include a guide structure 26, which is disposed on the top plate 21. The guide structure 26 may be integrally formed with the top plate 21, but is not limited thereto. In different embodiments, the guide structure 26 may also be a structure independent of the top plate 21, and the guide structure 26 may be fixed to the top plate 21 by means of snapping, bonding, or the like. The guide structure 26 is located in the accommodating space 2A, and a portion of the guide structure 26 is located between the blocking structure 25 and the connecting structure 234. The guide structure 26 is used to change the flow path of the liquid in the accommodating space 2A.

[0060] In one preferred embodiment, the side of the guide structure 26 opposite to the side connected to the top plate 21 may abut against the side of the plurality of walls 235 opposite to the side connected to the bottom plate 231. The top plate 21, the guide structure 26, and the annular sidewall 22 may collectively form a fluid channel 2B, and the blocking structure 25 and the connecting structure 234 may be located at opposite ends of the fluid channel 2B. Thus, when the bottle cap 2 is locked to the bottle mouth structure B1 and the bottle body B is inverted, the liquid in the bottle body B will sequentially enter the fluid channel 2B through the second opening 234B and the third opening 234C, flow along the fluid channel 2B to the first opening 211, and pass through the blocking structure 25 to exit the bottle cap 2 through the first opening 211. Therefore, the provision of the guide structure 26 allows the liquid to flow fully within the accommodating space 2A and fully contact the water-soluble edible flavoring member 24 located in the accommodating space 2A.

[0061] It is worth mentioning that, in actual application, the bottle cap 2 may further include a plurality of auxiliary engaging structures 27, which may be provided on at least one of the top plate 21, the annular sidewall 22, and the flow-guiding structure 26. The plurality of auxiliary engaging structures 27 are used to engage with the communication structure 234, thereby preventing the liquid storage member 23 from being easily separated from the annular sidewall 22. The number, shape, and location of the auxiliary engaging structures 27 are not limited to those shown in the figures. Any structure that can be used to limit the range of motion of the communication structure 234 relative to the top plate 21, the annular sidewall 22, or the flow-guiding structure 26 should fall within the applicable scope of the auxiliary engaging structures 27 referred to herein.

[0062] In actual use, the annular sidewall 22 may be provided with a connecting structure 222, and the flip cover 28 may be connected to the annular sidewall 22 via the connecting structure 222. A recess 281 is formed inwardly on one side of the flip cover 28, allowing the flip cover 28 to be rotated toward or away from the top plate 21. The side of the flip cover 28 with the recess 281 engages with the hollow tubular structure 212 provided on the top plate 21, and the hollow tubular structure 212 is accommodated in the recess 281. The flip cover 28 primarily serves to conceal the hollow tubular structure 212, preventing it from being directly exposed. The appearance of the flip cover 28 and the manner in which it is connected to the annular sidewall 22 are not limited to those shown in the figures.

[0063] In actual application, one side of the top plate 21 having the hollow tube structure 212 may also be provided with a first locking structure 213, and the side of the flip cover 28 having the groove 281 may also be provided with a second locking structure 282. The first locking structure 213 can be engaged with the second locking structure 282 to limit the range of movement of the flip cover 28 relative to the top plate 21.

[0064] like Figure 13 and Figure 11 As shown, when the user turns the bottle body B upside down and the liquid in the bottle body B continues to flow into the bottle cap 2, the liquid will gradually fill the accommodating space 2A and the liquid reservoir 23A, and the water-soluble edible seasoning component 24 located in the accommodating space 2A will continue to dissolve, and the liquid located in the accommodating space 2A and the liquid reservoir 23A will become the seasoning liquid. Then, when the user puts the bottle body B upright, most of the seasoning liquid will be retained in the liquid reservoir 23A, and most of the seasoning liquid will not flow into the bottle body B.

[0065] like Figure 10 As shown, in different applications, the bottle cap 2 of this embodiment can be sold without at least one water-soluble flavoring component, and the liquid storage component 23 can be detachably connected to the annular sidewall 22. In other words, after purchasing the bottle cap 2, the user can remove the liquid storage component 23, then place the water-soluble flavoring component of their choice into the receptacle formed by the top plate 21 and the annular sidewall 22, and finally, reinstall the liquid storage component 23 on the inner side of the annular sidewall 22.

[0066] It should be noted that the bottle caps described in the above embodiments can be sold, manufactured and implemented together with the bottle body containing a beverage (such as pure water, juice and other edible liquids) as a bottled beverage.

[0067] In summary, the bottle cap and bottled beverage of the present invention are designed with a accommodating space and a water-soluble edible flavoring component, so that the user can simply lock the bottle cap on the bottle mouth and drink the flavored liquid.

[0068] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made using the description and drawings of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
