Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of beverage cans, in particular to a beverage can with a self-dispensing straw. Background Art

[0002] As a widely used beverage packaging form, cans occupy an important position in the market with their lightness, ease of carrying and good sealing performance. They are widely used in the packaging of various beverages such as juices and tea drinks. The opening method of cans in the related art relies on the pull ring design. Users need to use their nails or fingers to pull up the pull ring to open the can mouth. For users with manicures, long nails or weak hand strength (such as female users or elderly users), this operation is often inconvenient or even difficult, resulting in damage to women's manicures. In addition, users are usually required to open the can mouth directly through the pull ring and put their mouths close to the can mouth to drink. However, from production to transportation to the hands of consumers, the can mouth is exposed to the external environment and is susceptible to the attachment of dust, bacteria or other contaminants. When users drink, direct contact of the mouth with the can mouth may bring health risks, especially in environments with poor sanitary conditions, such as outdoor activities or public places. This potential health hazard is particularly prominent. In view of this, it is necessary to improve the current cans to solve the above problems;

[0003] The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for understanding the background of the present inventive concept and therefore it may contain information that does not constitute prior art. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a beverage can with a self-dispensing straw, so as to solve the problem that the opening method of the can proposed in the above-mentioned background technology relies on the pull ring design, and the user needs to use the nail or finger to pull up the pull ring to open the can mouth. For users with manicures, long nails or weak hand strength (such as female users or elderly users), this operation is often inconvenient or even difficult, resulting in damage to women's manicures, and the user is usually required to directly open the can mouth through the pull ring and put the mouth close to the can mouth to drink. However, from production to transportation to the hands of consumers, the can mouth is exposed to the external environment and is easily attached to dust, bacteria or other contaminants. When the user drinks, the direct contact of the mouth with the can mouth may bring health risks, especially in an environment with poor sanitary conditions, such as outdoor activities or public places, where this potential health hazard is particularly prominent.

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

[0006] A beverage can with a self-dispensing straw comprises a top cover, a partition and a can body, wherein the lower end of the top cover is fixedly connected to a top block, a straw is embedded on one side of the top block, the straw is coiled around the lower end of the top cover, the lower end of the top cover is fixedly connected to the upper end of a C-shaped sealing pull plate, a lower straw opening is provided on the partition, the lower end of the C-shaped sealing pull plate covers the upper end of the lower straw opening, the partition is fixedly installed on the upper end of the can body, and a guide block is fixedly installed on the upper end of the partition, a guide hole is provided inside the guide block, and the tail end of the straw passes through the guide hole.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, an arc-shaped guide plate for restricting the direction of the straw is installed on one side of the guide block, and a conical guide tube for restricting the direction of the straw is installed at the lower end of the straw opening.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, a straw opening is provided on the top cover, a turntable is provided at the upper end of the top cover, one side of the turntable is connected to the cover plate, a protrusion is provided at the lower end of the cover plate, the protrusion of the cover plate is embedded in the straw opening, and a limiting groove is provided at the upper end of the cover plate, and the limiting groove is provided on one side of the straw opening.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a rotation groove is provided at the lower end of the top cover, and a limit ring is installed at the upper end of the tank body, and the limit ring is embedded in the rotation groove.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0011] With this beverage can, users only need to rotate the cover to open the upper straw opening and rotate the top cover to automatically extend the straw, without the need for fingernails or additional tools to complete the opening operation. This is convenient for users with long nails or weak hand strength (such as women or elderly users), and avoids the problems of nail damage or difficulty in operation that may be caused by traditional pull-ring cans. At the same time, when drinking beverages through a straw, users do not need to directly contact the mouth of the can with their mouth, effectively reducing the health risks caused by dust, bacteria and other pollutants attached to the can mouth due to exposure to the external environment, and is especially suitable for scenes with poor hygiene conditions such as outdoors or in public places.

[0012] In addition, the beverage can adopts a double sealing design that uses a C-shaped sealing pull plate to seal the lower straw opening and a convex block on the cover plate to fit the upper straw opening, ensuring the sealing integrity of the beverage during transportation and storage, preventing leakage and protecting the straw from external contamination. The synergistic effect of the guide block, arc-shaped guide plate and conical guide tube optimizes the process of straw entry and extension, making it move smoothly and controllable in direction, enhancing the practicality and user experience of the product, not only improving the functionality of the beverage can, but also taking into account the needs of hygiene and portability, and having high practicality.

[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a beverage can with a self-dispensing straw comprises a top cover 1, a partition 6 and a can body 9, wherein the top cover 1 is mounted on the upper end of the can body 9, and the partition 6 is fixed to the inner upper end of the can body 9 to form a closed beverage storage space. The top cover 1 and the can body 9 are rotatably connected via a rotating groove 101 and a limiting ring 901.

[0025] Specifically, a rotation groove 101 is formed at the lower end of the top cover 1 , and a limit ring 901 is installed at the upper end of the tank body 9 . The limit ring 901 is embedded in the rotation groove 101 , so that the top cover 1 can rotate relative to the tank body 9 .

[0026] Among them, the top cover 1 is provided with an upper straw opening 10 for extending the straw 3. The lower end of the top cover 1 is fixedly connected to the top block 4, and the straw 3 is embedded on one side of the top block 4. The straw 3 is coiled around the lower end of the top cover 1 in the initial state. The straw 3 is a bendable corrugated tube made of flexible material to ensure that it has sufficient flexibility and stretchability. The lower end of the top cover 1 is also fixedly connected to the upper end of the C-shaped sealing pull plate 5, and the lower end of the C-shaped sealing pull plate 5 covers the lower straw opening 8 on the partition 6, and is fixedly connected to the partition 6 by ultrasonic spot welding. The C-shaped sealing pull plate 5 is made of composite aluminum foil material to ensure the sealing and easy pulling of the tank during transportation and storage.

[0027] The partition 6 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the tank body 9, and a lower suction pipe opening 8 is provided on the partition 6. A conical guide pipe 801 is installed at the lower end of the lower suction pipe opening 8, and the larger end of the conical guide pipe 801 faces the partition 6, and the smaller end faces the inside of the tank body 9, which is used to guide the suction pipe 3 to smoothly enter the inside of the tank body 9 and straighten the suction pipe 3. A guide block 7 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the partition 6, and a guide hole 701 is provided inside the guide block 7, and the tail end of the suction pipe 3 passes through the guide hole 701. An arc-shaped guide plate 702 is also installed on one side of the guide block 7, which is used to constrain the direction of the suction pipe 3 during the movement process to ensure that the suction pipe 3 moves along a predetermined path.

[0028] A turntable 202 is provided at the upper end of the top cover 1, and a cover plate 2 is connected to one side of the turntable 202. A convex block 201 is provided at the lower end of the cover plate 2, and the convex block 201 is embedded in the upper suction pipe opening 10 to seal the upper suction pipe opening 10 and prevent dust and pollutants from entering. A limiting groove 203 is provided at the upper end of the cover plate 2, located on one side of the upper suction pipe opening 10, so that the user can rotate the cover plate 2 and embed the convex block 201 at the lower end of the cover plate 2 into the limiting groove 203, thereby keeping the upper suction pipe opening 10 open.

[0029] Embodiment 2

[0030] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the specific implementation method of the second embodiment adopts the following technical solutions:

[0031] The user rotates the cover plate 2 so that the protrusion 201 on the cover plate 2 is disengaged from the upper straw opening 10 and is engaged in the limiting groove 203 , thereby exposing the upper straw opening 10 .

[0032] After the upper straw opening 10 is exposed, the user rotates the top cover 1 counterclockwise, and the top cover 1 achieves smooth rotation through the cooperation between the rotating groove 101 and the limiting ring 901. As the top cover 1 rotates, the top block 4 fixed to the lower end of the top cover 1 pushes the straw 3 to move along the guide hole 701 of the guide block 7 and the arc-shaped guide plate 702.

[0033] When the top cover 1 rotates, the C-shaped sealing pull plate 5 moves accordingly. Since the lower end of the C-shaped sealing pull plate 5 is connected to the partition plate 6 by ultrasonic spot welding, the welding point breaks during the rotation process, and the lower end of the C-shaped sealing pull plate 5 is pulled up, thereby opening the lower suction pipe opening 8.

[0034] The tail end of the straw 3 is pushed by the top block 4, guided by the guide hole 701, the arc guide plate 702 and the tapered guide tube 801, and passes through the lower straw opening 8 into the tank body 9. At the same time, the head end of the straw 3 extends from the upper straw opening 10 through the buoyancy of the liquid in the tank body for the user to drink.

[0035] In this embodiment, the user only needs to rotate the cover plate 2 to open the upper straw opening 10 and rotate the top cover 1 to automatically extend the straw 3, and the opening operation can be completed without the help of nails or additional tools. It is convenient for users who have done manicures, have long nails or weak hand strength (such as women or elderly users), and avoids the problem of nail damage or difficulty in operation that may be caused by traditional pull-ring cans. At the same time, when drinking beverages through the straw 3, the user does not need to directly contact the mouth of the can, which effectively reduces the health risks caused by dust, bacteria and other pollutants attached to the can mouth due to exposure to the external environment, and is particularly suitable for scenes with poor sanitary conditions such as outdoors or in public places.

[0036] In addition, the beverage can adopts a double sealing design of a C-shaped sealing pull plate 5 to seal the lower straw opening 8 and the convex block 201 of the cover plate 2 is engaged with the upper straw opening 10, which ensures the sealing integrity of the beverage during transportation and storage, prevents leakage and protects the straw 3 from external contamination. The synergistic effect of the guide block 7, the arc-shaped guide plate 702 and the tapered guide tube 801 optimizes the process of the straw 3 entering and extending, making it move smoothly and controllable in direction, enhancing the practicality and user experience of the product, not only improving the functionality of the beverage can, but also taking into account the requirements of hygiene and portability, and having high practicality.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
