[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the description of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "or / and" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0021] Such as Figures 1 - 10As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a double-drinking cup lid and a water cup, including a lid body 1. The lid body 1 forms an installation cavity 2. A drinking nozzle 6 is provided at the upper end of the installation cavity 2. The lower end opening of the installation cavity 2 is located inside the lid body. A rotating body 3 is installed in the installation cavity 2. The rotating body 3 is provided with a first channel 4 that penetrates up and down. It also includes a straw 5. The upper end of the straw 5 is connected to the lower end of the first channel 4. A second channel is also provided at the middle position of the rotating body 3. When the lid body and the straw are both in the vertical state, it is the initial state. When the lid body is tilted, the straw swings under the action of gravity and drives the rotating body to rotate relative to the installation cavity. When the lid body is in the vertical state or close to the vertical state, the rotation angle of the rotating body relative to the installation cavity is less than or equal to C. The rotation angle is relatively small, and the rotating body 3 closes the lower end opening of the installation cavity 2, and the second channel is not communicated with the lower end opening of the installation cavity 2. When the lid body is tilted and exceeds a certain angle, the rotation angle of the rotating body relative to the installation cavity exceeds C. The rotation angle is relatively large. At this time, the second channel is simultaneously communicated with the lower end opening and the upper drinking nozzle 6 of the installation cavity 2. The value of C can be adaptively set according to different cup types. Preferably, C is between 10° and 60°. C can take values such as 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 45°, 60°, etc.

[0022] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, in the first embodiment, the installation cavity is a spherical cavity, and the rotating body 3 is spherical. The first channel 4 of the rotating body 3 penetrates through the upper and lower ends. A straw mounting seat 7 is provided at the lower end of the first channel. The upper end of the straw is connected to the straw mounting seat. The second channel is a recess 10 opened on the side of the rotating body. The recess surrounds the side of the rotating body and can be a whole connected groove. When the lid body is tilted, the straw swings to one side under the action of gravity and drives the rotating body to rotate. After rotating a certain angle, one side of the recess is communicated with the lower end opening of the installation cavity, and the other side of the recess is communicated with the drinking nozzle. At this time, the lower end opening of the installation cavity, the recess and the drinking nozzle are communicated to form a direct drinking channel. When the lid body is in the vertical state and has not reached the state where one side of the recess is communicated with the lower end opening of the installation cavity, at this time, the rotating body closes the lower end opening of the installation cavity, and the direct drinking channel is in a closed state. The straw, the first channel and the drinking nozzle form a sucking and drinking channel. Install the lid body on the cup body, and the automatic switching between the sucking and drinking channel and the direct drinking channel can be realized by controlling the tilt angle and cooperating with the action of gravity, which is suitable for different drinking scenarios.

[0023] As Figures 6 - 10 shown, in the second embodiment, different from the first embodiment, the installation cavity is a horizontally placed cylindrical shape, and the rotating body is also cylindrical and adapted to the shape inside the installation cavity. The second channel is a through hole 11 that horizontally penetrates the rotating body. When the lid body is tilted, the straw swings to one side under the action of gravity and drives the rotating body to rotate. After rotating a certain angle, the lower end of the through hole located on the lower side is communicated with the lower end opening of the installation cavity, and the upper end of the through hole located on the upper side is communicated with the drinking nozzle. At this time, the lower end opening of the installation cavity, the through hole and the drinking nozzle are communicated to form a direct drinking channel.

[0024] The cover body is provided with a nozzle connecting part 8, and the nozzle is installed on the nozzle connecting part. The two can be docked in different ways such as snap connection, screw connection, bonding, etc. The nozzle can form the upper side part of the installation cavity and jointly accommodate the rotating body.

[0025] The lower end of the straw is a counterweight part, that is to say, the straw has a relatively large and suitable mass. Preferably, the lower end of the straw is set to have a larger mass, or a counterweight structure can be added to ensure that when the cover body is tilted, the straw can swing normally under the action of gravity and drive the rotating body to rotate against the resistance.

[0026] An air inlet hole 9 is opened on the cup cover, and air can enter during the sucking and drinking state to ensure smooth sucking and drinking.

[0027] Principle of use: Install the cover body on the cup body. The user can drink water through the nozzle whether the water cup is vertical or tilted. When tilted, the straw swings to one side under the action of gravity and drives the rotating body to rotate. At this time, the lower end opening of the installation cavity, the second channel and the nozzle are connected to form a direct drinking channel. When the water cup is in a vertical state or tilted at a small angle, the rotating body closes the lower end opening of the installation cavity, and the direct drinking channel is in a closed state. The straw, the first channel and the nozzle form a sucking and drinking channel. The automatic switching between the sucking and drinking channel and the direct drinking channel can be realized by controlling the tilt angle and cooperating with the action of gravity, which is convenient to use.

[0028] The above-described embodiments of the present invention do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
