Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a composite structure container cover and a container combination thereof, in particular to a composite structure container cover and a container combination thereof used for a container containing drinking water or beverages. Background Art

In addition, during the manufacture of the existing thermos cup or thermos bottle, the heat-insulating interlayer of the main body can be further vacuumed by means of vacuuming to further improve the heat insulation capacity.
[0004] However, the lids used in existing thermos cups or flasks do not use a double-layer metal insulation structure, and therefore do not have insulation capabilities. In addition, in order to improve the insulation capabilities, some container lids fill the middle bolt of the lid with polystyrene or other insulation materials, but this will increase the size of the container lid and make it heavy. In addition, most existing container lids are made of plastic materials, so there is a concern that drinking water or beverages that come into contact with the plastic material of the lid will release toxic chemicals, causing anxiety in the user's mind.
[0005] In addition, in order to overcome the above problems, some container covers are provided with a metal surface layer at the portion of the container cover that contacts drinking water or beverages.

Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.

In addition, the drawings of the present invention are only simple schematic illustrations and are not depicted according to actual dimensions. It is stated in advance. The following embodiments will further explain the relevant technical contents of the present invention in detail, but the disclosed contents are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the term "or" used in this article may include any one or more combinations of the associated listed items depending on the actual situation.
[0032] [First embodiment]
[0033] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a composite structure container cover 2 and a container combination having the composite structure container cover 2. The composite structure container cover 2 can be set on a container combination 1 to seal the opening of the container combination 1.
[0034] The container assembly 1 has a container 100, which is a cylindrical container and has an opening 110 at the upper end of the container 100. The upper end of the opening 110 forms a circular flange, and the inner side of the opening 110 has an internal thread 111. In this embodiment, the container 100 can be a double-layer container made of a metal sheet, and has the function of heat preservation or cold preservation. However, the container 100 of the present invention is not limited to this, and the container 100 can also be a container made of other materials. For example, the container 100 can also be an insulated container made of plastic, ceramic, or glass.
[0035] For ease of explanation, the composite structure container cover 2 can define a relative upper end and a lower end, and the composite structure container cover 2 includes a top cover 200 located at the upper end, a middle plug 300 connected to the lower end of the top cover 200, and a sealing gasket 500 arranged on the middle plug 300.
[0036] The top cover 200 has a top plate 210 and a top cover side wall 220 extending downward from the outer periphery of the top plate 210. The top plate 210 is substantially circular, and the diameters of the top plate 210 and the top cover side wall 220 are greater than the diameter of the opening 110 of the container assembly 1. The middle plug 300 is connected to the lower end of the top cover 200. The middle plug 300 is substantially smaller in diameter than the opening 110, and can be inserted into the opening 110.
[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the middle bolt has a middle bolt outer wall 310 in a cylindrical shape, a crimping ring 320 extending outward from the upper end of the middle bolt outer wall 310, and a middle bolt inner wall 330 spaced apart and arranged inside the middle bolt outer wall 310. And a middle bolt bottom plate 350 connected between the middle bolt outer wall 310 and the lower end of the middle bolt inner wall 330, and a middle bolt top plate 340 formed at the upper end of the middle bolt inner wall 330. The middle bolt bottom plate 350 is connected between the middle bolt outer wall 310 and the lower end of the middle bolt inner wall 330, so that the lower end of the middle bolt outer wall 310, the middle bolt bottom plate 350, and the lower end of the middle bolt inner wall 330 are closed.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cover top plate 210, the cover side wall 220 of the top cover 200 of the present invention, and the middle bolt outer wall 310, the crimping ring 320, the middle bolt inner wall 330, the middle bolt bottom plate 350, and the middle bolt top plate 340 of the middle bolt 300 are all formed of metal plates, and the cover top plate 210 and the crimping ring 320, the middle bolt top plate 340 are spaced apart to form a gap, and the middle bolt outer wall 310 and the middle bolt inner wall 330 are spaced apart from each other to form a gap. The inner walls 330 are also spaced apart to form another gap, and the gaps between the cover top plate 210 and the crimping ring 320 and the middle plug top plate 340, as well as the gaps between the middle plug outer wall 310 and the middle plug inner wall 330 are interconnected, thereby forming a heat-insulating space 400 between the top cover 200 and the middle plug 300, thereby reducing the effects of heat conduction and heat convection, and allowing the composite structure container cover 2 to have heat-insulating effects.
[0039] It is worth noting that in order to make the composite structure container cover 2 have sufficient heat insulation effect, the distance between the cover top plate 210 and the middle plug top plate 340 is preferably configured to be greater than 3 mm, and the distance between the middle plug outer wall 310 and the middle plug inner wall 330 is also configured to be greater than 3 mm, so that there is sufficient distance between the cover top plate 210 and the middle plug top plate 340 and between the middle plug outer wall 310 and the middle plug inner wall 330, so as to reduce the heat convection conduction or radiation conduction between the cover top plate 210 and the middle plug top plate 340, and between the middle plug outer wall 310 and the middle plug inner wall 330.
[0040] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the middle plug top plate 340 is integrally connected to the upper end of the middle plug inner wall 330, so that the middle plug inner wall 330 and the middle plug top plate 340 form a blind hole that is recessed upward from the lower end of the middle plug 300, thereby forming a middle plug recess 360 that is recessed from the lower end of the middle plug 300 toward the top cover 200. The middle plug recess 360 can be used to accommodate a straw 120 placed inside the container 100, or used as a storage space for holding drinking water or beverages.
[0041] like Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of the container combination of the present invention in use with a straw 120. In this embodiment, the middle bolt 300 of the composite structure container cover 2 is configured such that the height of the crimping ring 320 is lower than the height of the middle bolt top plate 340, and the upper end height of the middle bolt recess 360 is higher than the height of the crimping ring 320. Therefore, when the composite structure container cover 2 is set on the opening 110 of the container 100, the lower end of the middle bolt recess 360 extends below the opening 110 of the container combination 1, and the upper end portion of the middle bolt recess 360 can protrude from the upper end of the opening 110. The portion of the middle plug recess 360 that protrudes from the upper end of the opening 110 can form a straw accommodating space for accommodating a straw. Therefore, when the container assembly 1 is used with a straw 120 whose length is greater than the height of the container 100, the portion of the upper end of the straw 120 that protrudes outside the opening 110 can be accommodated in the straw accommodating space at the upper end of the middle plug recess 360. When the straw 120 is placed in the container 100, the composite structure container cover 2 will not interfere with the straw 120 when covering the opening 110, and there is no need to remove the straw 120 from the container 100 to prevent the straw 120 from being contaminated.
[0042] like Figure 4As shown, the middle plug recess 360 can be used to hold beverages or drinking water, so that the composite structure container cover 2 of the present invention also has the function of a drinking cup. Furthermore, in order to make the middle plug recess 360 have a sufficient volume, the diameter of the middle plug recess 360 is configured to be not less than 60% of the inner diameter of the opening 110 of the container 100, and the height of the middle plug recess 360 is configured to be greater than the diameter of the middle plug recess 360. In more detail, the diameter of the middle plug recess 360 is not less than 30 mm, the height of the middle plug recess 360 is not less than 50 mm, and the volume of the middle plug recess 360 is not less than 30 cubic centimeters (cm3).
[0043] More specifically, in this embodiment, the height difference between the middle bolt top plate 340 and the crimping ring 320 is configured to be between 5 mm and 50 mm. Through the above configuration, the difference between the length of the straw 120 and the height of the container 100 can be between 5 mm and 50 mm. In other words, after the straw 120 is inserted into the container 100, the length of the upper end of the straw 120 extending from the upper end of the opening 110 can also be between 5 mm and 50 mm.
[0044] It is particularly noted that in this embodiment, although the middle bolt 300 is provided with the middle bolt recess 360, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in an embodiment not shown in other figures of the present invention, the middle bolt bottom plate 350 of the middle bolt 300 is a circular plate body that completely covers the bottom of the middle bolt 300, and no upwardly recessed blind hole is formed in the center of the middle bolt bottom plate 350, so there is no middle bolt inner wall 330, the middle bolt top plate 340, and no middle bolt recess 360 is formed.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the middle bolt outer wall 310 is provided with an annular groove 370 which surrounds the middle bolt outer wall 310 by 360 degrees and is recessed from the outer side of the middle bolt outer wall 310 toward the center direction of the middle bolt 300, and an annular member 380 is provided in the annular groove 370. The annular member 380 is made of plastic and is embedded in the annular groove 370. The annular member 380 has an annular outer side wall 381 located at the outside and an outer threaded portion 382 formed on the annular outer side wall 381 and capable of matching with the inner threaded portion 111. The annular member 380 forms an annular inner side wall 383 on one side relative to the annular outer side wall 381, and two annular end faces 384 are formed at the upper end and the lower end of the annular member 380, respectively.
[0046] When the annular member 380 is disposed in the annular groove 370 , the annular outer side wall 381 is flush with the middle bolt outer wall 310 , and the annular inner side wall contacts the groove bottom 371 , and the two annular end faces 384 contact the two groove side walls 372 .
[0047] It is worth noting that the annular component 380 can be arranged in the annular groove 370 by using an insert molding process, so that the annular component 380 and the annular groove 370 can be tightly combined, and the annular component 380 can be firmly arranged in the annular groove 370.
[0048] In addition, in order to further enhance the stability of the combination of the annular member 380 and the annular groove 370, a plurality of first engaging structures 373 protruding or recessed on the surface of the groove bottom 371 are provided on the groove bottom 371 of the annular groove 370, and a plurality of second engaging structures 385 having shapes complementary to the plurality of first engaging structures 373 are provided on the annular inner sidewall 383 of the annular member 380. The plurality of second engaging structures 385 can be engaged in the plurality of first engaging structures 373, and the combination strength of the annular member 380 and the annular groove 370 can be enhanced, so that when the composite structure container cover 2 is locked in the opening 110 of the container 100, the annular member 380 will not rotate relative to the middle bolt 300 due to the friction between the external threaded portion 382 and the internal threaded portion 111.
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the position of the external threaded portion 382 matches the position of the internal threaded portion 111, and the pitch diameter and pitch of the external threaded portion 382 match the pitch diameter and pitch of the internal threaded portion 111, so that when the middle bolt 300 is inserted into the inner side of the opening portion 110 and the composite structure container cover 2 is rotated, the external threaded portion 382 can be locked to the internal threaded portion 111, and the composite structure container cover 2 is locked to the opening portion 110 of the container 100.
[0050] When the composite structure container cover 2 is locked to the opening 110, the crimping ring 320 is located above the upper edge of the opening 110, and the sealing gasket 500 contacts the upper edge of the opening 110 and fits tightly with the opening 110, thereby forming a seal between the composite structure container cover 2 and the opening 110, and preventing the fluid stored in the container 100 from leaking out.
[0051] The above-mentioned design of the present invention ensures that when the composite structure container cover 2 is locked in the opening 110 of the container 100, only the external threaded portion 382 made of plastic will be in contact with the internal threaded portion 111, and the middle plug outer wall 310 of the middle plug 300 will not be in contact with the inner wall of the opening 110, thereby avoiding the friction sound generated when the external threaded portion 382 and the internal threaded portion 111 are locked.
[0052] In addition, except for the annular member 380 and the external threaded portion 382 which are made of plastic, the rest of the composite structure container cover 2 of the present invention is formed by metal plates, so that most of the surfaces of the middle plug 300 that will contact the drinking water or beverage inside the container 100 are metal surfaces, thereby reducing the chance of drinking water or beverage contacting plastic and avoiding safety concerns about the release of toxic chemicals when plastic contacts high-temperature beverages or drinking water.
[0053] In addition, in this embodiment, the container 100 has an inner ring protrusion 130 located below the internal threaded portion 111 below the opening portion 110, and there is a minimum gap position 132 between the inner ring protrusion 130 and the lower end of the middle plug 300. The gap between the surface of the inner ring protrusion 130 at the minimum gap position 132 and the corresponding outer surface of the middle plug 300 is smaller than the gap between the inner side wall of the opening portion 110 and the middle plug 300 outside the range of the minimum gap position 132.
[0054] In more detail, Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner ring convex portion 130 is formed below the opening portion 110, and the diameter of the inner side wall of the inner ring convex portion 130 is configured to be smaller than the diameter of the inner side wall of the opening portion 110. In addition, in this embodiment, the connection position between the upper end of the inner ring convex portion 130 and the lower end of the opening portion 110 has an inner conical surface 131 whose diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom. When the composite structure container cover 2 is locked inside the opening portion 110, a point at the lower end of the middle plug 300 is adjacent to the inner conical surface 131, and the position where the inner conical surface 131 and the lower end of the middle plug 300 are closest is defined as the minimum gap position 132.
[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the composite structure container cover 2 is locked in the opening portion 110, at the minimum gap position 132, the gap between the surface of the inner ring protrusion 130 and the lower end of the middle plug 300 can be less than 0.1 mm, and even when the composite structure container cover 2 is locked, the lower end of the middle plug 300 can contact the inner conical surface 131, so that the gap between the lower end of the middle plug 300 and the inner ring protrusion 130 is eliminated.
[0056] Through the above design, the gap between the lower end of the middle plug 300 and the opening 110 of the container 100 is reduced, so as to limit or reduce the flow of the drinking water or beverage stored in the container 100 passing through the gap at the minimum gap position 132, thereby reducing the chance of the surface of the annular member 380 and the internal threaded portion 111 contacting the drinking water or beverage, thereby avoiding the user's concerns about the beverage or drinking water contacting the plastic.
[0057] The following further describes the detailed structure of the composite container cover 2 and its manufacturing method. Figure 5 As shown, the composite structure container cover body 2 of the present invention is roughly made of a first plate member P1 to form the top cover 200, and a second plate member P2 and a third plate member P3 to form the center plug 300, and the first plate member P1, the second plate member P2 and the third plate member P3 can use titanium metal plates or stainless steel plates with a thickness between 0.3mm and 1.5mm, and are manufactured by stamping, rolling and other means, and the first plate member P1, the second plate member P2 and the third plate member P3 are connected as a whole by welding to form the composite structure container cover body 2.
[0058] In more detail, Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the cover body top plate 210 and the top cover side wall 220 of the top cover 200 are formed integrally from the first plate member P1; the crimping ring 320 and the middle bolt outer wall 310 of the middle bolt 300 are formed integrally from the second plate member P2; the middle bolt inner wall 330 and the middle bolt top plate 340 are formed integrally from the third plate member. Moreover, the middle bolt bottom plate 350 is also formed by the second plate member P2, so that the middle bolt bottom plate 350 is integrally connected to the lower end of the middle bolt outer wall 310.
[0059] And if Figure 6 As shown, the first plate P1, the second plate P2 and the third plate P3 are welded to form the metal body of the composite structure container cover 2. In this embodiment, the welding method of the first plate P1, the second plate P2 and the third plate P3 is to weld the outer periphery of the crimping ring 320 to the lower end of the inner side of the top cover side wall 220 by welding means, so that the outer periphery of the crimping ring 320 and the lower end of the top cover side wall 220 are connected to form a first welding portion W1. And the middle bolt bottom plate 350 is connected to the lower end of the middle bolt inner wall 330 by welding means relative to one end of the middle bolt outer wall 310, so that the middle bolt bottom plate 350 and the lower end of the middle bolt inner wall 330 are connected to form a second welding portion W2.
[0060] It is worth noting that, although the present embodiment discloses that the middle bolt bottom plate 350 is formed by the second plate member P2 and is integrally formed at the lower end of the middle bolt outer wall 310, and the second welding portion W2 is formed at the junction of the middle bolt bottom plate 350 and the lower end of the middle bolt inner wall 330, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings of the present invention, the middle bolt bottom plate 350 can also be formed by the third plate member P3, the middle bolt bottom plate 350 is integrally formed and connected to the lower end of the middle bolt inner wall 330, and the second welding portion W2 is formed at the junction of the middle bolt bottom plate 350 and the lower end of the middle bolt outer wall 310.
[0061] Then as Figure 7 As shown, after the metal body of the composite structure container cover 2 is manufactured, the annular member 380 can be formed in the annular groove 370 of the middle plug 300 by means of in-mold insert injection molding. In this embodiment, the metal body of the composite structure container cover 2 is set in a molding die 600 to mold the annular member 380 in the annular groove 370. For example, the molding die 600 includes a first module 610 and a second module 620 set on a bottom plate 630, and a positioning column 660.
[0062] The first module 610 can be a fixed module, and the second module 620 can be a movable module that can be displaced in a direction away from the first module 610. The first module 610 and the second module 620 jointly define an insert accommodating portion 640 into which the metal body of the composite structure container cover 2 can be inserted. The positioning column 660 is a cylinder whose diameter matches the middle bolt recess 360 of the middle bolt 300, and can be passed through the bottom plate 630 along the direction of the central axis of the insert accommodating portion 640.
[0063] The insert receiving portion 640 is generally a stepped recessed hole whose shape is complementary to the top cover 200 and the middle plug 300 of the composite structure container cover 2, so that the metal body of the composite structure container cover 2 can be inserted into the insert receiving portion 640. The insert receiving portion 640 is defined by a first side wall 641 and a second side wall 642 respectively disposed on the adjacent sides of the first module 610 and the second module 620. In addition, a first thread forming portion 6411 and a second thread forming portion 6421 are respectively formed at positions of the first side wall 641 and the second side wall 642 corresponding to the annular groove 370 of the middle plug 300, and the shapes of the first thread forming portion 6411 and the second thread forming portion 6421 are complementary to the shapes of the annular outer side wall 381 and the external thread portion 382 of the annular component 380. Therefore, when the first module 610 and the second module 620 are closed and the metal body of the composite structure container cover 2 is inserted into the insert accommodating portion 640, the first thread forming portion 6411 and the second thread forming portion 6421 can be together with the annular groove 370 on the outer wall 310 of the middle plug to define a mold cavity whose shape is complementary to the annular component 380.
[0064] In this embodiment, the first module 610 is provided with a runner 650 and a gate 651 connected to the mold cavity used to form the annular member 380, so that plastic can be injected into the mold cavity used to form the annular member 380, so that the annular member 380 is overmolded in the annular groove 370. After the annular member 380 is molded, the second module 620 and the positioning column 660 of the molding mold 600 can be moved, so that the composite structure container cover 2 can be taken out of the molding mold 600.
