Figure 1 to Figure 6 In one aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a bottle cap is provided, comprising: a main body 1, a cover body 2, a nozzle 3 and an identification member 4. A silicone inner pad may be provided in the nozzle 4, and the inner pad may be connected to the nozzle 4 through a fixing member.

[0073] The main body 1 is used to connect with the bottle mouth of the bottle body, and the cover body 2 is connected to the main body 1 and can be flipped relative to the main body 1 to be opened or closed relative to the main body 1. The suction nozzle 3 is connected to the main body 1, and the identification member 4 can be movably arranged between the suction nozzle 3 and the main body 1, and has an open position and an unopened position. The main body 1, the cover body 2 and / or the suction nozzle 3 can be set to be transparent, and the identification member 4 can be set to a dark color, so that the user can observe the state of the identification member 4 from the outside of the bottle cap.

[0074] The cover 2 is configured to keep the identification member 4 in the unopened position before the cover 2 is first opened relative to the main body 1, and to separate from the identification member 4 in response to the cover 2 being opened relative to the main body 1, so that the identification member 4 switches to the opened position. The opened position and the unopened position do not overlap. The opened position of the identification member 4 can have multiple different positions depending on the different placement of the bottle.

[0075] In this embodiment, an identification member 4 is provided between the suction nozzle 3 and the main body 1, and the identification member 4 is kept in the unopened position before the bottle cap is opened for the first time, and the identification member 4 is switched to an opened position different from the unopened position as the bottle cap is opened, so that consumers can recognize whether the bottle cap has been opened before drinking through the different position states of the identification member 4, which helps to reduce the risk of consumers sucking on a contaminated suction nozzle and affecting their health, can improve the reliability of the product, protect the safety of consumers, and improve the user experience.

[0076] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the inner wall of the cover body 2 is provided with a retaining member 21, and the retaining member 21 is configured to be interference-fitted or snap-fitted with the outer wall of the identification member 4 before the cover body 2 is first opened relative to the main body 1, so as to clamp the identification member 4 in an unopened position. The retaining member 21 includes but is not limited to being in a continuous ring shape, or a plurality of retaining members 21 may be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cover body 2.

[0077] In this embodiment, a retaining member 21 is provided on the inner wall of the cover body 2, and the identification member 4 is stably and tightly clamped in the unopened position by interference fit or snap-fit ​​before the cover body 2 is opened for the first time. When the cover body 2 is flipped relative to the main body 1, it can be relatively easily separated from the identification member 4. In addition, the structure in which the retaining member 21 cooperates with the identification member 4 is also convenient for production and assembly, and the structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0078] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the open position is located on a side of the unopened position away from the cover body 2, so that the identification member 4 falls to the open position by its own weight in response to the opening of the cover body 2.

[0079] In this embodiment, the open position can be located at the lower side of the unopened position along the height direction of the bottle cap, so that the identification member 4 can fall to the open position by its own gravity after being separated from the retaining member 21, without the need to set up other additional structures to guide the movement of the identification member 4. This not only cleverly shows the opening status of the bottle cap to consumers, but also helps to simplify the structure of the bottle cap, reduce the weight of the bottle cap, facilitate consumers to open it, control material consumption, and facilitate manufacturing and production.

[0080] Figure 7 is a side view of the open state of some embodiments of the bottle cap of the present disclosure, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the main body 1 is sleeved outside the suction nozzle 3, and an accommodating cavity 5 for the movement of the identification element 4 is formed between the outer wall of the suction nozzle 3 and the inner wall of the main body 1.

[0081] The identification member 4 can extend relative to the accommodating cavity 5 so that the identification member 4 is clamped by the retaining member 21 and maintained in an unopened state before the cover 2 is opened for the first time. The identification member 4 is configured to extend relative to the accommodating cavity 5 by different lengths when it is in the open position and the unopened position.

[0082] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the main body 1 and the outer wall of the nozzle 3 can enclose a receiving cavity 5 for the identification member 4 to move. When the cover 2 is opened, the identification member 4 switches from the unopened position to the open position and can fall into the receiving cavity 5 by its own gravity. When the consumer uses the bottle cap, the identification member 4 is automatically stored in the receiving cavity 5 after the bottle cap is opened, eliminating the need for the consumer to take out the identification member 4 and then throw it away, making the consumer's drinking experience easier and smoother. It can also prevent the identification member 4 from being put into the bottle cap again, which may mislead consumers and cause safety risks.

[0083] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the identification member 4 is configured to not extend relative to the accommodating cavity 5 when in the open position, and to partially extend relative to the accommodating cavity 5 when in the unopened position. The retaining member 21 is configured to be interference fit or snap fit with the portion of the identification member 4 extending relative to the accommodating cavity 5 to retain the identification member 4 in the unopened position.

[0084] In this embodiment, by making the retaining member 21 completely located in the accommodating cavity 5 when in the open position and partially extending out of the accommodating cavity 5 when in the unopened position, the unopened position can be significantly distinguished from the open position, thereby making it easier for consumers to find and identify the open state of the bottle cap.

[0085] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the identification member 4 includes a limit portion 41 and a snap ring portion 42. The limit portion 41 is movably disposed in the accommodating cavity 5, the snap ring portion 42 protrudes upward relative to the limit portion 41, and the snap ring portion 42 is configured to contact the retaining member 21 when in the unopened position.

[0086] The limiting portion 41 and the clamping ring portion 42 may be in a rotational shape, and the radial width of the limiting portion 41 is greater than the gap between the top opening of the main body 1 and the outer wall of the suction nozzle 3 to prevent the limiting portion 41 from escaping from the accommodating cavity 5 .

[0087] In this embodiment, by setting the radial width of the limiting portion 41 to be larger than the gap between the top opening of the main body 1 and the outer wall of the suction nozzle 3, it is possible to prevent the limiting portion 41 from escaping upward from the accommodating cavity 5 as the posture of the bottle cap changes after the cover body is opened, thereby further improving the reliability and stability of identification, maintaining the safety of use for consumers, and reducing the risk of the limiting portion 41 being repeatedly placed in the unopened position.

[0088] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the top of the suction nozzle 3 is located above the top of the main body 1 along the height direction of the bottle cap. In this embodiment, the sucking port at the top of the suction nozzle 3 is set at a plane higher than the top opening of the main body 1, which is convenient for consumers to suck and is convenient for the installation and arrangement of the identification element 4.

[0089] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the outer wall of the suction nozzle 3 is provided with a supporting portion 31 protruding outward, and the identification member 4 is configured to be clamped in an unopened position by the retaining member 21, the supporting portion 31 and the inner wall of the main body 1 before the cover body 2 is opened relative to the main body 1 for the first time.

[0090] In this embodiment, by providing a top supporting portion 31 that is protruding relative to the curvature of the outer wall of the suction nozzle 3, the identification member 4 can be clamped by the top supporting portion 31, the retaining member 21 and the inner wall of the main body 1 when it is not opened, so as to apply clamping forces in multiple positions and directions to the identification member 4, improve the stability of clamping, and reduce the risk of the identification member 4 being loosened by external forces during transportation and movement. Moreover, when it is not opened, the identification member 4 is completely in contact with the outer periphery of the suction nozzle 3, but there is a certain gap between the identification member 4 and the suction nozzle 3, so that when the cover 2 is opened, the identification member 4 can fall into the accommodating cavity 5 more easily based on its own weight, reducing the interference of the friction force on the outer periphery of the suction nozzle 3.

[0091] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the cover 2 is configured to restrict the identification member 4 from returning to the unopened position after the cover 2 is first opened relative to the main body 1. In this embodiment, by restricting the identification member 4 from returning to the unopened position after the identification member 4 is separated from the cover 2, the safety and reliability of the bottle cap can be further improved, and the risk of misleading consumers that the bottle cap is not opened after being contaminated can be reduced.

[0092] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the main body 1 includes a support portion 11, an opening portion 13 and a first anti-theft portion 14. The support portion 11 has a cavity 12 inside, and the inner wall side of the cavity 12 is used to be threadedly connected with the bottle mouth of the bottle body. The opening portion 13 protrudes upward relative to the support portion 11 along the height direction of the main body 1, and the opening portion 13 is arranged on the periphery of the suction nozzle 3 and communicates with the cavity 12 of the support portion 11.

[0093] The first anti-theft portion 14 is located below the support portion 11 and is connected to the support portion 11 through a weak portion 15. The inner wall of the first anti-theft portion 14 is provided with an inwardly protruding blocking member 16, which is used to connect with the bottle mouth of the bottle body and can cooperate with the second anti-theft portion 14 of the bottle mouth to guide the weak portion 15 to separate from the first anti-theft portion 14 when the bottle cap rotates relative to the bottle mouth. The weak portion 15 is configured to break when the bottle cap leaves the bottle mouth, or to break when the bottle cap rotates relative to the bottle mouth and leaves. The weak portion 15 can adopt a tear ring, a thinning structure, or an opening that is easy to tear. The first anti-theft portion 14 can be arranged below the thread of the inner wall of the main body 1.

[0094] In this embodiment, the safety of the bottle can be further enhanced by providing the first anti-theft portion 14. After the bottle cap and the bottle mouth rotate relative to each other, the weak portion 15 is torn and the first anti-theft portion 14 is separated from the supporting portion 11 and cannot be restored. The first anti-theft portion 14 can cooperate with the identification piece 4 to form a double reminder. Even if a disguised situation occurs in which the suction nozzle 3 is taken out after the cover body 2 is opened so that the identification piece 4 can be reinstalled in the unopened position, the consumer can distinguish whether the bottle cap has been opened by whether the weak portion 15 is torn.

[0095] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the nozzle 3 includes a mounting portion 32 and a sucking portion 33. The nozzle 3 is connected to the top surface of the inner wall of the support portion 11 of the main body 1 through the mounting portion 32, and the edge of the mounting portion 32 abuts against the inner wall of the support portion 11 to prevent the identification member 4 from escaping from the bottom of the support portion 11. The sucking portion 33 protrudes upward relative to the mounting portion 32 along the height direction of the nozzle 3.

[0096] In this embodiment, by connecting the mounting portion 32 of the nozzle 3 to the top surface of the inner wall of the support portion 11 of the main body 1, a sealing structure can be formed below the accommodating cavity 5. After the identification piece 4 enters the accommodating cavity 5, it cannot escape from below the internal cavity 12 of the support portion 11, thereby further preventing the identification piece 4 from being taken out and misleading consumers.

[0097] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first anti-theft portion 14 has a plurality of blocking members 16, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first anti-theft portion 14, which is conducive to strengthening the connection stability between the first anti-theft portion 14 and the bottle mouth, and facilitating the separation of the weak portion 15 from the support portion 11 when opening. In this embodiment, the plurality of blocking members 16 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first anti-theft portion 14 to facilitate manufacturing. For example, in the process of injection molding, the use of discontinuous blocking members 16 can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing.
