Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of container covers, and in particular relates to a cover of a liquid packaging box and a liquid packaging box. Background Art

[0002] When a liquid packaging box is used to contain liquid, the packaging cover of the liquid packaging box is usually provided with a pouring port and a cap, which is convenient for pouring the liquid and for resealing and storing the liquid in the liquid packaging box when the liquid is not completely used up at one time.

[0003] However, when the liquid in the liquid packaging box is relatively viscous (for example, the liquid is yogurt) or the residual amount is small, the liquid surface tension makes it difficult for the liquid to be poured out from the liquid packaging box through the cover; and when the liquid in the liquid packaging box needs to be poured out completely, some of the liquid will accumulate at the edge of the pouring port and cannot flow out smoothly, resulting in some liquid being wasted. In addition, when a large amount of content flows out of the liquid packaging box, the faster flow rate of the content will produce a greater impact on the drinker, or cause the content to splash. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention discloses a cover body of a liquid packaging box and a liquid packaging box to overcome the above problems or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] Furthermore, the upper edge of the inner circumference of the cover seat is lower than the upper edge of the outer circumference, and the end of the cover seat is a slope or chamfer arranged along the circumference.

[0008] Furthermore, a height difference between an inner circumferential upper edge of the cover seat and an outer circumferential upper edge of the cover seat is 1 mm to 6 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the cover seat is an inclined surface arranged along the circumference, and the bottom of the guide groove is inclined toward the upper edge of the outer circumference of the cover seat.

[0010] Furthermore, the groove bottom of the guide groove includes a first inclined surface, an upper convex arc surface and a second inclined surface;

[0011] The first inclined surface is connected to the inner circumferential surface of the cover seat, the second inclined surface is connected to the upper edge of the outer circumference of the cover seat, and the upper convex arc surface is connected between the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface;

[0012] The angle formed between the first inclined plane and the vertical line is 7° to 20°, and the angle formed between the second inclined plane and the horizontal line is 60° to 80°; wherein the vertical line is the axis center line of the cover seat.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, a cover of a liquid packaging box is disclosed, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cover body includes a cap 1 and a cover seat 2. The lower end of the cover seat 2 is fixed on the liquid packaging box. The cover seat 2 has a channel inside. After opening, it can be connected with the inside of the liquid packaging box. The content in the liquid packaging box (such as yogurt, milk and other liquid drinks) can be poured out through the cover seat 2; the cap 1 is located on the outside of the cover seat 2, and the outer circumferential surface of the cover seat 2 is provided with a first fixing thread 9. The inner circumferential surface of the cap 1 is provided with a second fixing thread 10 that matches the first fixing thread 9. The first fixing thread 9 and the second fixing thread 10 realize the matching connection between the cap 1 and the cover seat 2. Of course, in other embodiments, other connection methods such as interference connection or clamping can also be used between the cap and the cover seat.

[0038] Furthermore, an end portion 2-2 of the cover seat is located between an inner circumferential upper edge 2-3 of the cover seat and an outer circumferential upper edge 2-1 of the cover seat, and a guide groove 3 is provided on the cover seat 2. The guide groove 3 is at least partially provided at the end portion 2-2 of the cover seat, and one end of the guide groove 3 extends to an inner circumferential surface 2-4 of the cover seat, and the other end of the guide groove 3 extends to an outer circumferential upper edge 2-1 of the cover seat, so that the contents at the inner circumferential surface of the cover seat 2 can flow out of the cover seat 2 along the guide groove 3; alternatively, the other end of the guide groove can also extend to the end portion of the cover seat.

[0039] There are multiple guide grooves, which are evenly arranged on the cover seat along the circumferential direction; when the contents of the liquid packaging box are poured from different directions, they can be guided through the guide grooves.

[0040] In summary, in the cover body of the present embodiment, a guide groove is provided on the cover seat, so that the contents can be diverted when flowing out of the cover seat, especially for more viscous contents or a small amount of residual contents. The guide groove can concentrate and / or divert the contents so that the contents can flow out smoothly, effectively preventing the waste of contents and further improving the drinking experience.

[0041] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the inner circumferential upper edge 2-3 of the cover seat is lower than the outer circumferential upper edge 2-1 of the cover seat. When the contents flow out of the cover body, a drop is generated between the inner circumferential upper edge 2-3 of the cover seat and the outer circumferential upper edge 2-1 of the cover seat, which can reduce the flow rate of the contents and allow the contents to flow out more smoothly; the end 2-2 of the cover seat is an inclined surface arranged along the circumference, which can not only drain the contents in the cover seat, making it easier to pour out the contents, but also make the cover seat more comfortable when in contact with the tongue and the mouth; and the bottom of the guide groove 3 is inclined toward the outer circumferential upper edge 2-1 of the cover seat, making it easier for the contents to flow out. Of course, in other embodiments, the end of the cover seat can also be a chamfer arranged along the circumference.

[0042] The height difference between the inner circumferential upper edge of the cover seat and the outer circumferential upper edge of the cover seat is 1 mm to 6 mm, so that the contents in the cover seat can flow out more smoothly.

[0043] Furthermore, if Fig.12 As shown, the bottom of the guide groove 3 includes a first inclined surface 3-1, an upper convex arc surface 3-2 and a second inclined surface 3-3.

[0044] Specifically, the first inclined surface 3-1 is connected to the inner circumference of the cover seat 2, the second inclined surface 3-3 is connected to the upper edge of the outer circumference of the cover seat 2, and the upper convex arc surface 3-2 is connected between the first inclined surface 3-1 and the second inclined surface 3-2. Further, the angle α formed between the first inclined surface 3-1 and the vertical line is 7° to 20°, and the angle β formed between the second inclined surface 3-3 and the horizontal line is 60° to 80°; wherein the vertical line is the axis of the cover seat, and the horizontal line is perpendicular to the axis (vertical line) of the cover seat. Through the structural setting of the bottom of the above-mentioned guide groove, the contents at the inner circumference of the cover seat can flow into the guide groove more smoothly, and then pour out; and when the drinker's lips touch the guide groove, they will not feel uncomfortable.

[0045] In addition, the width of the guide groove decreases along the direction of liquid outflow, thereby achieving concentration and diversion of the contents when flowing out of the cover seat, preventing the contents from overflowing from both sides of the lip contact area due to the large pouring mouth when drinking; for the small amount of remaining contents, it can flow out more easily through the guide groove, preventing waste of contents.

[0046] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the guide groove 3 is a fan-shaped groove, the arc end of the fan-shaped groove is located on the inner circumferential surface 2-4 of the cover seat, and the center end of the fan-shaped groove is located on the outer circumferential upper edge 2-1 of the cover seat; or, the center end of the fan-shaped groove can also be located at the end of the cover seat. In this way, the contents at the inner circumferential surface 2-4 of the cover seat are more easily accumulated in the fan-shaped groove through the arc end of the fan-shaped groove, and then flow out through the center end of the fan-shaped groove, thereby achieving the concentration of the contents. Preferably, the arc length of the fan-shaped groove is 6mm to 15mm.

[0047] In other embodiments, the width of the guide groove increases along the direction of liquid outflow, which can reduce the flow rate of the contents, prevent the contents from splashing and overflowing when pouring, and also avoid the impact on the drinker and choking when the contents flow at a fast rate.

[0048] Specifically, Figures 13 to 16 As shown, the guide groove can be a single-sector groove, a double-sector groove, a diamond-cut groove or a spout groove, which can achieve better effects of guiding flow and reducing flow velocity.

[0049] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cover of the liquid packaging box also includes an inscribed piece 4.

[0050] The inner cutting piece 4 is located in the cover seat 2 and can move axially downward relative to the cover seat 2. An external thread 5 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the inner cutting piece 4, and an internal thread 6 matching with the external thread 5 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the cover seat 2. The inner cutting piece 4 and the cover seat 2 cooperate with each other through the internal thread 6 and the external thread 5, so that the inner cutting piece 4 can be screwed into the cover seat 2; and the lower end of the inner cutting piece 4 is provided with a cutting tooth 7, and the cutting tooth 7 is used to pierce and cut the sealing layer 12 on the liquid packaging box; the cap 1, the inner cutting piece 4 and the cover seat 2 have a force transmission device, when the cover body is not in use, such as Figure 8 As shown, the inscribed member 4 is completely located in the cover seat 2 and is located above the sealing layer 12 (ie, the first position); Figure 3 As shown, a triangular blade 8 is axially provided inside the cap 1, and a guide structure is provided on the outer circumference of the inscribed member 4, and a guide structure is also provided on the inner circumference of the cover seat 2. When the cap 1 is used for the first time, the triangular blade 8 applies downward pressure to the inscribed member 4. Due to the interaction between the guide structure on the inscribed member 4 and the guide structure on the cover seat 2, the inscribed member 4 can only move axially downward relative to the cover seat 2 at the beginning. At this time, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the cutting tooth 7 passes through the sealing layer 12 (i.e., the second position), and then the cap 1 continues to be rotated. Since the guiding structure on the inner cutting piece 4 is separated from the guiding structure on the cover seat 2, the inner cutting piece 4 rotates around the axis under the drive of the cap 1, cutting the sealing layer 12 of the liquid packaging box to form an opening, so that the contents in the liquid packaging box can pass through the inner cutting piece 4 and the cover seat 2 and flow out.

[0051] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the internal cutting piece 4 includes a connecting section 4-1, an inclined section 4-2 and a puncture section 4-3 from top to bottom, and the inner diameter of the connecting section 4-1 is larger than the inner diameter of the puncture section 4-3.

[0052] Specifically, the external thread 5 is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting section 4-1, and the cutting teeth 7 are arranged at the lower end of the puncture section 4-3; Fig.11As shown, since the inner diameter of the connecting section 4-1 is larger than the inner diameter of the puncture section 4-3, a first drop is formed between the inner circumferential surface of the puncture section 4-3 and the inner circumferential surface of the connecting section 4-1. When the contents in the liquid packaging box are poured out through the cover body, the contents will pass through the puncture section 4-3, the inclined section 4-2 and the connecting section 4-1 in sequence. Since the drop lengthens the outflow path of the contents, the flow rate of the contents is reduced, so that the contents can flow out slowly, and splashing caused by excessive outflow of the contents is prevented. In addition, the inner diameter of the connecting section 4-1 is larger than the inner diameter of the puncture section 4-3, which can also enable the liquid packaging box to only cut a smaller opening on the liquid packaging box while using a cover body with a larger caliber pouring port. In the previous liquid packaging box cover, the inner diameter of the connecting section of the internal cutting piece is the same as that of the puncture section. In order to maintain the matching connection between the connecting section and the cover seat, if a cover with a larger diameter is used, the internal cutting piece will cut a larger opening on the liquid packaging box, and the larger opening will have a negative impact on the oxygen permeability and integrity of the liquid packaging box, resulting in the packaging material requiring a thicker plastic coating to ensure the packaging performance of the liquid packaging box, which causes excessive use and waste of materials, and too much plastic is also very unfavorable for environmental protection. However, the present invention adopts a variable diameter structure between the connecting section and the puncture section of the internal cutting piece, so that the opening formed on the packaging box is smaller without reducing the diameter of the cover, which can significantly improve the packaging performance of the liquid packaging box.

[0053] When the contents flow out from the cover of this embodiment, Fig.11 As shown, at least one drop can be generated. Since the drop reduces the flow rate of the contents, the pouring distance of the contents (i.e., the distance between the farthest end of the contents poured out from the cover body and the upper edge of the cover base) is shortened, and the pouring distance is d.

[0054] In the cover of the existing liquid packaging box, Fig.10 As shown, the speed of the contents flowing in the flow channel of the cover body cannot be effectively reduced, resulting in a large pouring distance of the contents (i.e., the distance between the farthest end of the contents poured out of the cover body and the upper edge of the cover seat), and the pouring distance is D.

[0055] By comparison, it can be seen that the pouring distance d is smaller than the pouring distance D. Therefore, the contents poured out from the cover body in this embodiment are not prone to splashing or overflowing. When drinking the contents through the cover body, the contents flow mostly to the tip of the tongue, solving the problem of "choking" that children and the elderly are prone to when drinking.

[0056] In addition, since the taste buds that sense sweetness are mostly concentrated on the tip of the tongue, and there are a large number of tactile and temperature sensing cells on the tongue and mouth, the contents poured out through the cover of this embodiment are more likely to fall on the tip of the tongue, making the contact area between the contents and the tongue and mouth larger and the contact time longer, thereby enhancing the taste experience when drinking and providing a better drinking experience; while the contents poured out through the cover of the existing liquid packaging box are prone to splashing and overflowing due to the fast outflow speed, causing the contents to flow mostly to the throat, which is prone to "choking the throat" problem; and the contents poured out from the cover have a smaller contact area with the tongue and mouth and a shorter contact time, resulting in a poor drinking experience.

[0057] In the cover body of the present embodiment, the internal cutting piece is arranged to be a connecting section, an inclined section and a puncture section which are connected in sequence, and the inner diameter of the connecting section is made larger than the inner diameter of the puncture section, so that a step is formed between the inner circumferential surface of the puncture section and the inner circumferential surface of the connecting section. The flow rate of the contents is reduced, so that the contents can flow out slowly, thereby shortening the pouring distance of the contents, so that the contents flow mostly to the tip of the tongue, solving the problem of "choking the throat" that children and the elderly are prone to when drinking; and, because the contents poured out of the cover body are more likely to fall on the tip of the tongue, the contact area of ​​the contents with the tongue and the mouth is larger and the contact time is longer, thereby enhancing the taste experience when drinking and providing a better drinking experience.

[0058] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the connecting section 4-1 and the puncture section 4-3 are connected by the inclined section 4-2, the inner diameter of the connecting section 4-1 is larger than the inner diameter of the puncture section 4-3, and an annular boss 11 is provided on the inner side of the lower edge of the cover seat 2 along the circumferential direction, the inner diameter of the annular boss 11 is larger than the outer diameter of the puncture section 4-3, and smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting section 4-1, and the annular boss 11 is used to limit the internal cutting piece 4; when the internal cutting piece 4 moves downward axially relative to the cover seat 2 so that the cutting tooth 7 passes through the sealing layer 12, the annular boss 11 just catches the inclined section 4-2 to prevent the internal cutting piece 4 from falling into the liquid packaging box.

[0059] In addition, a buffer portion is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the cover seat along the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, the buffer portion is a protrusion provided on the inner circumferential surface of the cover seat along the circumferential direction, and the protrusion is located above the inscribed member (i.e., downstream); thus, when the contents flow through the inscribed member and contact the inner circumferential surface of the cover seat, the protrusion on the inner circumferential surface of the cover seat will generate resistance to the flow of the contents, reduce the flow rate of the contents, and further prevent the contents from splashing and overflowing when pouring.

[0060] Furthermore, the obtuse angle formed between the inner side wall of the inclined section and the inner side wall of the connecting section is 135° to 160°; this structural setting saves the material of the internal cutting parts while being able to reduce the flow rate of the contents, thereby reducing production costs.

[0061] Another embodiment of the present invention discloses a liquid packaging box, on which is provided a cover of the liquid packaging box in the above embodiment; the liquid packaging box can allow relatively viscous contents or a small amount of residual contents to flow out smoothly, thereby effectively preventing waste of the contents.

[0062] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention. Under the above teachings of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make other improvements or modifications on the basis of the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above specific description is only to better explain the purpose of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
