A lid can be provided on the beverage container to provide an opening for pouring out the contents of the beverage container. In some cases, it may be desirable to selectively close and store the container so that the contents of the container do not spill. Summary of the invention
[0003] This summary provides an introduction to some general concepts related to the invention in a simplified form, which will be further described in the detailed description below. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the invention.
[0004] A container assembly with a closed and detachable suction nozzle comprises: a container and a cover covering the container;
[0005] The cover may include a wall defining a recess, a guide groove configured to guide assembly and easy disassembly of a closed and removable nozzle assembly, a rotation axis concave joint concave surface, a guide groove for receiving the closed and removable nozzle assembly, and a guide groove for receiving an elastomeric seal;
[0006] The closed detachable suction nozzle assembly comprises an elastic positioning bead and a suction nozzle, wherein the suction nozzle is constructed of a suction nozzle body that rotates in the concave joint surface of the large cover rotation axis, a channel for the flow of container contents and a suction nozzle guide, a blind hole for assembling the elastic positioning bead, and a handle, so that the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly allows the container contents to rotate between an open position for consumption and a sealed position;
[0007] The elastomeric seal is tightly assembled in the large cover, and the detachable nozzle assembly forms a seal when it is rotated to the sealing position, which is used to seal the contents in the container; when the detachable nozzle assembly is rotated to the open position, the detachable nozzle assembly and the internal contents are connected uninterruptedly, and the air path is ensured to be unobstructed;
[0008] Wherein, the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly having a handle and an elastically rotatable elastic positioning bead is configured to rotate in a concave joint along the rotation axis of the large cover;
[0009] Wherein, the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly is configured to rotate between a closed position of the concave joint surface of the rotation axis concave surface of the large cover and an open position of the concave joint surface of the rotation axis concave surface of the large cover;

The rim 118 may also include a top wall 120 and an optional lid tab 122 extending from the top wall 120 to help the user remove the lid assembly 100 from the container 105. Alternatively, a dedicated carrying handle is also contemplated.
[0047] Figure 7 FIG. 1 shows an isometric top perspective view of a large cover 110 in an exemplary cover assembly 100. The closed rotating nozzle assembly 150 and the elastomeric seal 200 are removed. The cover 110 may also include intermediate walls 123a, 124a, 125a, 124b, 123b extending below the rim 118 and forming the intermediate wall 123.
[0048] The guide grooves 132a and 132b for guiding the assembly and easy disassembly of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly formed on the intermediate wall 123. The concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft formed on the intermediate wall 123,
[0049] The guide grooves 132a and 132b and the concave surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft concave joints are formed as smooth transition surfaces by arc surfaces 133a and 133b;
[0050] The bottom support wall 126 , the support wall 129 and the support wall 127 constitute a bottom integrated support wall 171 .
[0051] Then, the guide groove 111 for accommodating the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 and the elastomeric seal 200 is formed by the middle wall 123, the guide grooves 132a and 132b for disassembling the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly, the concave joint surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft, the arc surfaces 133a and 133b and the bottom support wall 171.
[0052] The guide grooves 132a and 132b and the concave joint surface of the rotating shaft which constitute the guide assembly and easy disassembly of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly will be Fig. 9 and Fig.10 Detailed description in.
[0053] The configuration 128 of the elastomeric seal 200 is constructed in the support wall 171 as shown in FIG. Fig.11 Detailed description is given in.
[0054] The relationship between the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150, the elastomeric seal 200 and the large cover 100 is described. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.13 , Fig.16 Whether in the open position or the closed position, the surface of the nozzle body 151 will compress the sealing tongue 221 of the elastomeric seal 200 to form a slight elastic deformation to achieve a sealing effect. The tab or handle 154 is configured to allow the user to selectively push the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 to rotate along the axis 160 to the open position, and achieve a sealing effect by means of the elastic deformation of the sealing tongue 221 of the elastomeric seal 200 to connect the content consumption channel 227 of the elastomeric seal 200 and the channel 156 for the flow of container contents and expose the channel 217 of the elastomeric seal 200, or selectively rotate the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 along the axis 160 to the closed position to cut off the content consumption channel 227 of the elastomeric seal 200 and the channel 156 for the flow of container contents, relying on the closed The positioning beads of the detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 are supported in the concave joint surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft of the cover body 110. With the help of the suction nozzle body 151, the sealing tongue 221 of the same height of the compressed elastomeric seal 200 forms a slight elastic deformation to achieve a sealing effect. At the same time, the suction nozzle body 151 of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 and the elastic compression friction of the elastic seal are locked in place. The suction nozzle guide 155 compresses the sealing tongue 211 of the elastomeric seal 200 to cut off the connection between the channel 217 of the elastomeric seal 200 and the outside world, thereby achieving the sealing purpose and helping to prevent the contents of the container from overflowing from the container.
[0055] Figure 8 Shows Figure 1 A top view of the large cover 110 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 of FIG. The wall 123 defining the recess, the guide grooves 132a and 132b constituting the guide assembly and easy disassembly of the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly 150, the concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft, and the guide groove 111 for accommodating the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 and the elastomeric seal 200.
[0056] Fig. 9 Shows Figure 11 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the large cover 110 in the exemplary cover assembly 100. The figure clearly shows the normal axis position of the rotation axis concave joint concave surface 134a, and the concentric axis 160 of the suction nozzle body 151 of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150. At the same time, when the elastic positioning beads 180a and 180b are assembled into the blind holes 180c and 180d of the nozzle body 151 of the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150, they are also concentric, ensuring the reliable rotation of the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150. The rotating shaft concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b present gradually enlarged guide grooves 132a and 132b toward the top surface of the cover 110, which are conducive to guiding the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150 to smoothly enter the rotating shaft concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b from the top surface of the large cover 110. The rotating shaft concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b accommodate the rotating balls 181 of the elastic positioning beads 180a and 180b. It is precisely that the rotating shaft concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b have a certain axial depth, Fig.10 Shows Figure 1 The longitudinal cross-sectional view of the rotating shaft of the large cover 110 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 well expresses this depth relationship and the gradually enlarged assembly guide conditions of the guide grooves 132a and 132b, and the rotating ball 181 that locks the elastic positioning beads 180a and 180b. The designed elastic positioning beads 180a and 180b have a pre-pressure of 5-50N and will not fall off under very small force.
[0057] Fig.11 yes Fig. 9 The configuration 128 of the support wall 171 of the elastomeric seal 200 is detailed in FIG. The support surface 143, the support seat 142 and the first part 220 of the elastomeric seal 200 are formed in the channel to form a clamping position 141 and facilitate the installation of the elastomeric seal 200, and the support surface 147 and the support seat 146 are formed in the channel to facilitate the installation of the second part 210 of the elastomeric seal 200 to prevent the first part 220 of the elastomeric seal 200 from falling off. The third part is the middle connecting part 148, and the special-shaped design is used to simultaneously limit the degree of freedom of the first part and the second part, which is conducive to improving the overall stability.
[0058] Fig.12 Shows Figure 1 The isometric top view of the elastomeric seal 200 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 is divided into three parts. The first part is the content consumption channel, seal, and fixed structure part 220; the second part is the air path channel, seal and fixed structure part 210; the third part is the interconnection part 230 between 210 and 220, which is intended to be an integral structural member while limiting the freedom of the first part and the second part, which is conducive to improving the overall stability.
[0059] Fig.13It is a detailed structural design drawing of the elastomeric seal 200. The core is that the elastomeric seal 200 is stably fixed in the configuration 128 loaded into the support wall 171, and at the same time, the top forms a sealing tongue 221 and a sealing tongue 211 of equal height for sealing. Ensure that the straw can be inserted into the position formed by 224 and 226 and can be stably locked so as not to fall off easily, which is conducive to the consumption of the contents. An air channel switch is formed at the position of the channel 217 of the elastomeric seal 200. When the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 is in the open and closed positions, the sealing is completed by the interaction of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150, the elastomeric seal 200 and the large cover 110. The first part is the content consumption channel 227, the sealing and fixing structure part 220, and the concave surface of 228 of the elastomeric seal 200 is the 142 reduced surface that is inserted into the large cover 100, and is used to support the 222 base above upwards, so as to stabilize the sealing tongue 221 in the configuration 128 of the large cover 100 and present a stable iso-height, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the product. The downward support is used to stabilize the 224 and 226 parts of the elastic seal to form a stable size, so as to ensure that the straw can be inserted and can be stably locked and not easily fall off. Similarly, the design of the second part, the air passage, the sealing and fixing structure part 210, also adopts a direct press-in design. The second part is the air passage, the sealing and fixing structure part 220, and the concave surface of 218 is the platform surface that is inserted into the large cover 100, and is used to support the 219 base above upwards, so as to stabilize the sealing tongue 221 in the configuration 128 of the large cover 100 and present a stable iso-height, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the product. The third part is the interconnected part 230 of 210 and 220, which is used as an integral structural member. Because the special shape limits the freedom of the first part and the second part, it is beneficial to improve the overall stability.
[0060] Fig.14 Shows Figure 1 1 is a partial view of a top view of the assembly of the large cover 110 and the elastomeric seal 200 in the exemplary cover assembly 100. The assembly relationship between the elastomeric seal 200 and the configuration 128 of the elastomeric seal 200 in the support wall 171 of the large cover 110 is clearly expressed, and the top surface 191 of the support wall 171 and the surface 229 of the elastomeric seal 200 coincide at the same height. At the same time, the assembly accuracy of the elastomeric seal 200 is clarified to ensure that the sealing tongue 221 and the sealing tongue 211 of the same height are formed for sealing and locking rotation.
[0061] Fig.15 Shows Figure 11 is a cross-sectional view of the assembly of the large cover 100 and the elastomeric seal 200 in the exemplary cover assembly 100. It can be clearly seen that the top surface 191 of the support wall 171 and the surface 229 of the elastomeric seal 200 coincide with each other at the same height, and the assembly relationship between the elastomeric seal 200 and the configuration 128 of the support wall 171 of the large cover 110 ensures that the sealing tongue 221 and the sealing tongue 211 of the same height are formed for sealing, locking and rotation.
[0062] Fig.16 Shows Figure 1 An isometric top view of the enclosed removable nozzle assembly 150 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 of FIG. Fig.17 Shows Figure 1 An isometric bottom view of an exemplary cover assembly 100 of the enclosed removable nozzle assembly 150. Fig.18 Shows Figure 1 A top view of the enclosed detachable nozzle assembly 150 in the exemplary cover assembly 100. Fig.19 Shows Figure 1 The transverse cross-sectional view of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 in the exemplary cover assembly 100. The closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 includes elastic positioning beads 180a, 180b and a nozzle 168. The nozzle 168 can be constructed into a nozzle body 151 that rotates coaxially 160 with the concave joint surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotation axis of the large cover 110, a channel 156 and a nozzle guide 155 for the flow of container contents, a blind hole 180c / 180d equipped with elastic positioning beads, and a tab or handle 154 that is configured to provide a better user experience for the user to selectively rotate the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150, and the channel 156 is formed by connecting 156a and 156b. The nozzle body 151 is provided with blind holes 180c / 180d equipped with elastic positioning beads for fixing the elastic positioning beads 180a, 180b. The suction nozzle body 151 of the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 and the elastic sealing member are elastically compressed and frictionally locked in place in the guide groove 111 of the large cover.
[0063] Fig. 20 Shows Figure 1The cross-sectional view of the rotating elastic positioning bead 180 of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 is mainly composed of three parts, including the outer shell 183, the rotating ball 181, and the stainless steel spring 182. The elastic elastic positioning bead 157 is used as a standard part, and the rotating ball 181 is pre-pressed by the stainless steel spring 182, so that the rotating ball 181 can ensure a fixed position in the middle of the outer shell 183. When the outer shell 183 is fixed, when the rotating ball 181 is squeezed by the squeezing force, the rotating ball 181 will shrink and stretch within the elastic range of the stainless steel spring, ensuring that the rotating ball 181 is always in contact with the stainless steel spring 182 and under pressure, so that the axis of the rotating ball 181 is squeezed outward and restored to the initial state as much as possible.
[0064] To operate the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150, the user can rotate the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 from the open position to the closed position by grasping the handle 154 alone or simultaneously. The closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 rotates along the rotation axis 160 of the nozzle body 151, and the elastic compression friction of the nozzle body 151 and the elastic seal of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the elastic seal are locked in place, completing the locking seal and helping to prevent the contents of the container from spilling out of the container.
[0065] In addition, for the purpose of cleaning, or if the user does not want the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 to be located on the cover 110, the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 can be selectively removed from the cover 110, and the magnitude of the operating force is within 0.5-50N. In order to remove the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 from the cover 110, from the lower side of the cover assembly 100, the user can grasp the handle 154 on the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150, flip the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 to the open position, and directly pull the nozzle guide of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 by hand to be removable from the cover 110 through the ball compression of the elastic positioning bead, or directly flip it around the axial direction by hand to cause the nozzle of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 to be removable and detached from the cover 110 through the ball compression of the elastic positioning bead, so that the user can thoroughly clean the cover 110 when the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 is removed from the cover 110.
[0066] Moreover, in order to put the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 back onto the cover 110, the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 is placed near the guide groove of the cover body 110, and along the guide rails 132a, 132b, the suction nozzle body 151 and the suction nozzle guide 155 are pressed with the thumb, and the elastic positioning beads 180a, 180b, under the pressure of the thumb and the drive of the guide rails 132a, 132b, turn over the arc surface 133a and 133b and smoothly fall into the concave joint surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft, and the magnitude of the operating force is within 5-50N. At the same time, the suction nozzle body 151 of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 and the elastic sealing member are elastically compressed and frictionally locked in place in the guide groove 111 of the large cover. Therefore, the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 is kept in a proper position on the cover 110.
[0067] When the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 is maintained in a closed position, and at the same time, the pressure from the liquid acts on the nozzle body 151 and the nozzle guide 155 of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 through the opening and the exhaust hole of the cover 110, the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the large cover 110 are supported in the concave surfaces 134a and 134b of the concave joint of the rotating shaft by the pre-pressure generated by the pressure of the two elastic positioning beads. The force direction of the elastic positioning beads between the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the cover 110 and the direction of the force from the pressure of the filling container being inverted are normal directions. Therefore, the force of the elastic positioning beads between the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the cover 110 can more easily withstand the force from the pressure of the filling container being inverted. In this way, Figure 2 In the example, the force generated by the interaction of the two elastic resilient positioning beads can be at or between 5N and 50N. In addition, the pre-stressed elastic tension can be constructed so that the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 will shrink slightly due to excessive internal air pressure in the case of heat and / or pressurized liquid, and will eventually be squeezed outward to open the compression between the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the elastomeric seal 200 to allow ventilation. This is desirable as opposed to a completely sealed non-vented / leaking cover or press-fit cover on a container because when a highly pressurized liquid is encountered, the press-fit cover can be made less likely to completely detach from the container and the pressure generated by the highly pressurized liquid inside can be relieved. Figure 2In an example, the retention force on the lid provided by the elastic positioning beads can be formed to be less than the gasket between the lid and the container. For example, the lid 110 can be retained on the container by a first force, and the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 can be retained on the lid 110 by a second force, and the first force can be greater than the second force, so that the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 will be released from the lid 110 before the lid assembly 100 is released from the container. In this way, the retention force on the lid 110 provided by the elastic positioning beads can be less than the gasket between the lid 100 and the container, so that the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 will be vented before the gasket, thereby preventing the container from quickly overflowing.
[0068] In addition, the surface roughness of the friction area of the elastomeric seal 200 that interacts with the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150 can be adjusted according to the amount of feedback required by the user. For example, the friction surface roughness of the elastomeric seal 200 that interacts with the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150 can be reduced to allow the user to easily rotate the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150 from the closed position to the open position and from the open position to the closed position during use of the product.
[0069] The closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 may also include a channel, and when the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 is in the open position, the channel may be configured to substantially align the vent. The closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 may also include a first side wall of the large cover 110 and a second side wall of the large cover 110 to continue to form a vent channel. Ensure that the entire air path is unobstructed. And when the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 is in the closed position, the reverse structure 162 and the reverse structure 163 of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 just seal the content channel 227 and the vent 217. This helps prevent the contents of the container from overflowing from the container and the air pressure balance.
[0070] It is also contemplated that the concave joint surface of the rotation axis of the cover and the nozzle assembly including the elastic positioning beads may also be reversely designed.
[0071] The present invention is disclosed in the accompanying drawings with reference to various examples.

Those skilled in the relevant art will recognize that many changes and modifications may be made to the above examples without departing from the scope of the present invention.
[0072] Molding process and forming assembly method:
[0073] To form a large cover, the cover 110 may be formed using an injection molding process, wherein the cover body 110A may be injection molded using a single shot of a polymer material.
[0074] To form the nozzle piece, the nozzle 168 may be formed using an injection molding process, wherein the nozzle 168 may be injection molded using a single shot of polymer material.
[0075] To form the elastomeric seal 200 , the elastomeric seal 200 may be formed or compression molded using an injection molding process, wherein the elastomeric seal 200 may be injection molded or compression molded using a single shot of an elastomeric polymer material.
[0076] In order to form a closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly 150, the suction nozzle 168 and the elastic rotating elastic positioning bead are pressed in through interference fit. The interference fit can ensure that the small cover and the elastic rotating elastic positioning bead assembly can withstand 3000 repeated impact tests from high temperature 80 degrees Celsius to low temperature -30 degrees Celsius without falling off.
