[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the present application discloses a cup cover structure, comprising a main cover body 1 and a secondary cover body 2;

[0049] The main cover body 1 is used to seal the opening of the cup, and the upper surface thereof is provided with a water passing hole 11 and an air guide pipe 12;

[0050] The secondary cover body 2 is rotatably fitted on the upper surface of the main cover body 1 and is axially limited with the main cover body 1 to prevent the secondary cover body 2 from falling off the main cover body 1; the secondary cover body 2 is provided with a water passing opening 21 which opens and closes the water passing hole 11 with the rotation of the secondary cover body 2, and an air guide groove 22 for the air guide pipe 12 to movably fit, and the air guide groove 22 is communicated to the atmosphere.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned air guide groove 22 is provided with a communication groove 23 which is communicated to the circumferential surface of the secondary cover body 2, the depth of the communication groove 23 is greater than that of the air guide groove 22 to form a step therebetween, and the air guide pipe 12 is located at the position communicated to the communication groove 23 when the secondary cover body 2 is rotated to the state that the water passing hole 11 is opposite to the water passing opening 21. The structure of this section makes the air guide pipe 12 realize the maximum air flow when the secondary cover body 2 is rotated to the state that the water passing hole 11 is opposite to the water passing opening 21 because it is directly opposite to the communication groove 23, so as to quickly balance the air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cup, so that the water can smoothly flow out of the water passing hole 11, avoid the discontinuous feeling of the smaller water passing hole 11 when pouring water, and improve the user experience; at the same time, when the water passing hole 11 is in a non-open state, the air guide pipe 12 is located in the air guide groove 22 and away from the communication groove 23, and the air guide pipe 12 is wrapped by the air guide groove 22 on both sides, so that the water leakage is greatly reduced.

[0052] Further, the above-mentioned water passing hole 11 and air guide pipe 12 are located at both ends of the same diameter of the main cover body 1, and the communication groove 23 and the water passing opening 21 are located at both ends of the same diameter of the secondary cover body 2, which is convenient for product design and more beautiful, and also avoids the situation that the air guide pipe 12 is not aligned with the communication groove 23 when the water passing hole 11 is aligned with the water passing opening 21 due to product tolerance.

[0053] Secondly, since the air guide pipe 12 is always in communication with the atmosphere through the air guide groove 22 and the communication groove 23, when the cup is placed in an environment prone to shaking, such as a car, a small amount of water will inevitably splash out of the end of the air guide pipe 12 and possibly flow to the upper surface of the main cover body 1 through the communication groove 23. At this time, the upper surface of the main cover body 1 is designed as a circular groove 13 structure, the bottom wall of the circular groove 13 is inclined to the axis of the main cover body 1, and the water passing hole 11 is arranged at the lowest position of the circular groove 13, and the air guide pipe 12 is arranged at the highest position of the circular groove 13. Under this structure, even if a small amount of water splashes / overflows, because the amount of water is small, it will not splash out of the circumference of the cup after being blocked by the side wall of the circular groove 13, but will return to the air guide groove 22, or flow along the inclined bottom wall of the circular groove 13 to the water passing hole 11.

[0054] Furthermore, the axis of the above-mentioned circular groove 13 is provided with a convex column 14, the secondary cover body 2 is an annular structure that is sleeved on the convex column 14, and the convex column 14 plays a positioning role for the installation and rotation of the secondary cover body 2; the upper surface of the secondary cover body 2 is provided with a knob 24, which facilitates the user to rotate the secondary cover body 2; the air guide groove 22 is an arc-shaped groove coaxially arranged with the convex column 14, and the air guide pipe 12 moves between the two ends of the air guide groove 22 along with the rotation of the secondary cover body 2, which can limit the angle of rotation of the secondary cover body 2. In the following first and second embodiments, the convex column 14 is made of transparent material, which can be used to observe the situation inside the cup; in the following second embodiment, the upper end of the annular wall of the above-mentioned secondary cover body 2 protrudes inward along the radial direction of the secondary cover body 2 to form a ring-shaped stop ring 25, the stop ring 25 is movably fitted on the top surface of the convex column 14, and a sealing flange 251 is formed on the top surface of the convex column 14, which plays a sealing role to prevent water from leaking between the annular wall of the secondary cover body 2 and the convex column 14.

[0055] Finally, the side wall of the above-mentioned circular groove 13 is provided with a water return groove 15 corresponding to the position of the water passing hole 11, the water return groove 15 has a slope that expands outward in the direction of the outer circumference of the main cover body 1, which facilitates the collection of water flowing out of the water passing hole 11 into the water return groove 15 and flowing out of the main cover body 1, and provides a better drinking experience for the user.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the circumference of the above-mentioned main cover body 1 is provided with a mounting ring groove 16 for mounting a sealing ring, which can achieve a movable sealing with the opening of the cup after being assembled with the sealing ring.

[0057] Further, the circumference of the above-mentioned main cover body 1 is provided with a handle 17, which can provide a place for the user to exert force to pry open the main cover body 1 to separate the main cover body 1 from the cup, thereby quickly opening the main cover body 1. In addition, an external thread can also be provided on the circumference of the main cover body 1 to achieve a movable sealing with the internal thread of the opening of the cup.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, the side wall of the overflow 21 is provided with a handhold position 26, which is a bevel or curved surface formed on the side wall of the overflow 21, facilitating the gripping of the secondary cover 2.

[0059] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 , a first embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0060] In the first embodiment, the axial positioning between the secondary cover 2 and the primary cover 1 is achieved through a snap connection. Specifically, the lower surface of the secondary cover 2 is provided with at least one snap 27, and the upper surface of the primary cover 1 is provided with an arc-shaped buckle groove 18 for hooking and active cooperation with the snap 27; the circular arc shape of the arc-shaped buckle groove 18 provides space for the active cooperation of the snap 27 when the secondary cover 2 rotates, and also limits the rotation angle of the secondary cover 2.

[0061] In the first embodiment, the number of snaps 27 is designed to be two, and they are centrally symmetric with the axis of the secondary cover 2 as the center line. Correspondingly, the arc-shaped buckle groove 18 on the primary cover 1 is also designed to have two.

[0062] Referring to Figures 8 to 13 , a second embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0063] In the second embodiment, the axial positioning between the secondary cover 2 and the primary cover 1 is achieved through magnetic attraction. Specifically, the opposite surfaces of the secondary cover 2 and the primary cover 1 are provided with magnets or components in the form of magnets and metal sheets.

[0064] In the second embodiment, the opposite surfaces of the primary cover 1 and the secondary cover 2 are respectively provided with a first installation groove 19 and a second installation groove 28 for cooperation with a first magnet 3 and a second magnet 4; the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 4 are respectively fixed in the first installation groove 19 and the second installation groove 28 through a first sealing body 5 and a second sealing body 6, and are isolated from each other by the first sealing body 5 and the second sealing body 6, which plays a role in protecting the magnets and avoiding the magnets from contacting water. Each second magnet 4 is correspondingly provided with two first magnets 3, and the positions of the two first magnets 3 correspond to the open state and the closed state of the secondary cover 2 relative to the primary cover 1, so that the secondary cover 2 has corresponding first magnets 3 attracting the second magnet 4 in the open state or the closed state, ensuring that the secondary cover 2 does not fall, or the first magnet 3 can be designed in a long strip or arc shape to attract the second magnet 4 at various positions.

[0065] Through the above scheme, the present application changes the overlapping area of the water passing opening 21 and the water passing hole 11 by the rotation of the secondary cover body 2 relative to the primary cover body 1, thereby realizing the active opening and closing of the water passing hole 11. Since the air guide pipe 12 of the primary cover body 1 and the air guide groove 22 of the secondary cover body 2 are actively matched, and the air guide groove 22 is communicated to the atmosphere, the air guide pipe 12 is always communicated to the atmosphere, the air pressure balance inside and outside the cup is maintained, the operation of rotating the secondary cover body 2 becomes labor-saving and simple, and it can be operated with one hand. The cooperation of the air guide pipe 12 and the air guide groove 22 also plays a limiting role for the rotation angle of the secondary cover body 2. One of the end points is designed to correspond to the angle when the water passing opening 21 and the water passing hole 11 overlap, so that the fast opening and closing to the position can be realized, and the user operation experience is better. The product of the present application does not need to be completely sealed, but can provide a small-diameter water passing hole 11 that can be actively opened and closed conveniently and quickly, especially suitable for application scenarios such as car cups, improves the simplicity of user operation, and reduces safety hazards.

[0066] The above embodiments and drawings are not limited to the product form and style of the present application, and any appropriate changes or modifications made by any ordinary skilled person in the art shall be considered as not departing from the patent scope of the present application.
