Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water cup technology, and more particularly to a double-sided drinking cup lid and a water cup. Background Technology

[0002] Water cups are an essential daily necessity. Currently, the market offers a wide variety of styles, and as people's living standards continue to improve, consumers are paying close attention to the safety of their water cups. To meet the drinking needs of different groups, cup lids are generally equipped with either a direct drinking spout or a straw spout. Users can drink directly from the cup through the direct drinking spout or through the straw spout, thus enhancing the enjoyment of drinking water.

[0003] In existing cup lids, the drinking spout and straw spout are generally set independently. For example, the dual-drinking cup lid and drinking container with the dual-drinking cup lid disclosed in authorization announcement number CN221730246U, although it can meet the user's needs for direct drinking and straw drinking, has several drawbacks. First, the independent setting requires the cup lid to have both a drinking spout and a straw spout, and then corresponding supporting components need to be installed in the drinking spout and straw spout, which greatly increases the difficulty of manufacturing and thus increases the manufacturing cost, especially for mass production. Second, the independent setting of the drinking spout and straw spout reduces the space of the drinking spout, so it cannot meet the need for pouring large amounts of water when it is necessary to use the drinking spout. Furthermore, each drinking spout and straw spout needs to be operated independently, which is also cumbersome. Therefore, it cannot meet the needs of modern users. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (a) Technical problems that need to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a dual-drinking cup lid and cup, which is designed to integrate the drinking spout and straw spout, while also independently meeting the user's needs. It also facilitates the user's need to quickly pour large amounts of water through the drinking spout.

[0006] (ii) Technical solutions to be adopted

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A dual-drinking cup lid includes a main lid and an upper lid that can be flipped open and closed. The main lid has a direct drinking hole, and a water inlet is provided on the side wall of the direct drinking hole. A rotatable spout is installed in the direct drinking hole, and a water inlet is provided on the side wall of the spout. By rotating the spout in the direct drinking hole, the water inlet and the water inlet can be aligned or offset to achieve pouring or direct drinking.

[0009] Preferably, the nozzle component includes a nozzle tube that can rotate back and forth in the drinking hole, a slide rail seat integrally formed with the nozzle tube, and a track groove provided on the main cover. The slide rail seat is provided with an adapter surface that mates with the track groove, and a fixing position is provided on the track groove for the water inlet to coincide with the water outlet.

[0010] Preferably, the track groove is provided with a stabilizing position, and the stabilizing position and the fixing position are respectively located at both ends of the track groove.

[0011] Preferably, the upper surfaces of both the stable position and the fixed position are lower than the position of the track groove.

[0012] Preferably, the suction tube is made of silicone material.

[0013] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided on the suction tube.

[0014] Preferably, the suction tube is provided with a device groove for placing the sealing ring.

[0015] Preferably, a water suction pipe is installed at the lower part of the suction nozzle.

[0016] Preferably, the main cover also includes a handle that can be flipped up and down, and the main cover is provided with a safety lock device for opening and closing the handle and the top cover, with the handle located on the outside of the top cover.

[0017] Preferably, the safety lock device includes a mounting groove on the main cover, a reset component and a pin on the mounting groove, a button on the mounting groove, the pin passing through the button, an outer locking point on the upper outer surface of the button, an inner locking point on the upper inner surface of the button, a lock hole on the upper cover that mates with the inner locking point, a slot on the handle that mates with the outer locking point, one end of the reset component contacting the mounting groove, and the other end of the reset component contacting the button.

[0018] Preferably, the mounting groove is provided with a recess for installing the reset component, and the recess is located at the lower part of the mounting groove.

[0019] Preferably, the side wall of the slot is provided with an inner protrusion for engaging with the outer locking point.

[0020] In addition, the present invention also provides a water cup, including a cup body, wherein the above-mentioned double drinking cup lid is installed on the cup mouth of the cup body.

[0021] (III) The technical effects to be achieved

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] Firstly, the main cover of this invention has a direct drinking hole, and a water inlet is provided on the side wall of the direct drinking hole. A rotatable spout is installed in the direct drinking hole, and a water inlet is provided on the side wall of the spout. By rotating the spout in the direct drinking hole, the water inlet and the water inlet can be aligned or offset to achieve pouring or direct drinking. Since there is only one direct drinking hole on the main cover, the manufacturing difficulty is greatly reduced. At the same time, it is beneficial to increase the diameter of the direct drinking hole, so that the two can be combined into one, greatly increasing the water volume and speed of pouring, and better meeting the needs of use.

[0024] Secondly, the main cover of this invention has a direct drinking hole with a water inlet on its side wall. A rotatable spout is installed in the direct drinking hole, with a water inlet on its side wall. By rotating the spout in the direct drinking hole, the water inlet and the water outlet can be aligned or misaligned, allowing water to be poured or drunk directly. In use, when the top cover is flipped up and opened, the spout is rotated to one side in the direct drinking hole, aligning the water inlet on the spout with the water inlet on the direct drinking hole. This facilitates water flowing into the spout through the water inlet and then being poured out. When the spout is rotated back in the direct drinking hole, the water inlet on the spout is misaligned with the water inlet on the direct drinking hole, allowing direct drinking (also called drinking with a straw) only through the spout. This meets the user's needs and is extremely simple to operate, facilitating easy opening and closing and enabling widespread promotion and use.

[0025] Thirdly, the safety lock device of the present invention includes a mounting groove on the main cover, a reset component and a pin on the mounting groove, a button on the mounting groove, the pin passing through the button, an outer locking point on the outer surface of the upper part of the button, an inner locking point on the inner surface of the upper part of the button, a locking hole on the upper cover that mates with the inner locking point, a locking groove on the handle that mates with the outer locking point, one end of the reset component contacting the mounting groove, and the other end of the reset component contacting the button. This design allows the inner and outer locking points on the button to simultaneously lock the upper cover and the handle, respectively, facilitating accidental operation. Simultaneously, with both the upper cover and the handle closed, pressing the button tightens the handle, making it harder to open. Furthermore, the upper cover can only be opened by opening the handle first, preventing accidental opening, especially for students to prevent water spillage, thus better meeting usage needs.

[0026] Fourth, the present invention includes a cup body, on which the aforementioned double drinking cup lid is installed. It can be seen that this application on a water cup makes it more convenient for users to drink and pour water, better meets usage needs, and is more practical. Attached Figure Description

[0043] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0044] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this invention is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. "Several" means one or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0045] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0047] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A double-drinking cup lid includes a main lid 1 and an upper lid 2 that can be flipped open and closed. The main lid 1 has a direct drinking hole 11, and a water inlet 12 is provided on the side wall of the direct drinking hole 11. A rotatable spout 3 is installed in the direct drinking hole 11, and a water inlet 4 is provided on the side wall of the spout 3. Water can be poured or drunk directly by rotating the spout 3 within the direct drinking hole 11 so that the water inlet 12 and the water inlet 4 overlap or stagger. This design better meets user needs in operation. In use, when the upper lid 2 is flipped open, the spout 3 is rotated to one side within the direct drinking hole 11, so that the water inlet 4 on the spout 3 aligns with the water inlet 12 on the direct drinking hole 11. The overlapping of the inlet 4 and the inlet 12 facilitates the flow of water into the spout 3, which is then poured out through the spout 3. When the spout 3 is rotated again in the drinking hole 11, the inlet 4 on the spout 3 and the inlet 12 on the drinking hole 11 are misaligned. This allows for direct drinking (also called drinking through a straw) only through the spout 3, meeting the user's needs. Since there is only one drinking hole 11 on the main cover 1, the manufacturing difficulty is greatly reduced, and the diameter of the drinking hole 11 can be increased. This allows the two holes to be combined into one, greatly increasing the water volume and speed, and better meeting the user's needs. When not in use, the top cover 2 can be flipped down to close it.

[0048] Example 2: This can be explained based on Example 1, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the suction nozzle 3 includes a suction tube 31 that can rotate back and forth in the drinking hole 11, a slide rail seat 32 integrally formed with the suction tube 31, and a track groove 33 provided on the main cover 1. The slide rail seat 32 is provided with an adapter surface 34 that mates with the track groove 33, and a fixing position 331 is provided on the track groove 33 for the water inlet 4 to coincide with the water inlet 12. When the suction tube 31 is rotated and the water inlet 4 coincides with the water inlet 12, the adapter surface 34 is located in the fixing position 331, preventing the suction tube 31 and the slide rail seat 32 from being easily rotated. To further explain, a stabilizing position 332 is provided on the track groove 33. The stabilizing position 332 and the fixing position 331 are located at opposite ends of the track groove 33. This arrangement facilitates the easy opening of the fitting surface 34 by sliding it into the stabilizing position 332 or the fixing position 331, preventing accidental operation. In this embodiment, the upper surfaces of the stabilizing position 332 and the fixing position 331 are both lower than the track groove 33, which further facilitates the sliding of the fitting surface 34 into the stabilizing position 332 or the fixing position 331. Furthermore, the mouthpiece tube 31 is made of silicone material, which is convenient for manufacturing, installation, and disassembly. Finally, it should be noted that a sealing ring is provided on the mouthpiece tube 31, which helps improve the sealing between the mouthpiece tube 31 and the drinking hole 11. In this embodiment, the mouthpiece tube 31 is provided with a slot for placing the sealing ring (not shown in the figure).

[0049] The lower part of the suction tube 31 is equipped with a water suction tube (not shown in the figure) to facilitate water suction.

[0050] Example 3: This can be described based on Example 1 or Example 2, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, it also includes a handle 5 that can be flipped up and down on the main cover 1. The main cover 1 is provided with a safety lock device 6 for opening and closing the handle 5 and the upper cover 2. The handle 5 is located on the outside of the upper cover 2. The safety lock device 6 can prevent the upper cover 2 from being opened and avoid accidental operation. The safety lock device 6 includes a mounting groove 61 on the main cover 1, a reset component and a pin on the mounting groove 61, and a button 62 on the mounting groove. The pin passes through the button 62. The outer surface of the upper part of the button 62 has an outer locking point 621, and the inner surface of the upper part of the button 62 has an inner locking point 622. The upper cover 2 has a lock hole 63 that mates with the inner locking point 622, and the handle 5 has a locking groove 64 that mates with the outer locking point 621. One end of the reset component contacts the mounting groove 61, and the other end of the reset component contacts the button 62. In use, the upper cover 2 is first flipped downwards so that the inner locking point 622 engages with the lock hole 63, which facilitates the closing of the upper cover 2. Then, the handle 5 is flipped downwards so that the outer locking point 622 engages with the lock hole 63. 21 is inserted into the slot 64 to close the handle 5. Since the handle 5 is located on the outside of the upper cover 2, this also helps to prevent the upper cover 2 from accidentally flipping upwards and opening. The mounting slot 61 is equipped with a reset component and a pin, and a button 62 is provided on the mounting slot. The pin passes through the button 62. One end of the reset component contacts the mounting slot 61, and the other end of the reset component contacts the button 62. The button 62 will perform lever movement with the pin as the pivot point. When the lower part of the button 62 is pressed, the upper part of the button 62 will move outwards, and at the same time, it will compress the reset component. At this time, the outer locking point 621 will be more firmly locked with the slot 64. When the lower part of the button 62 is released, it will return to its original position under the rebound force of the reset component. When it is necessary to open, first flip the handle 5 upwards to open it, then press the lower part of the button 62, and then flip the upper cover 2 upwards to open it. Release the button, and the upper cover 2 will be opened.

[0051] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting slot 61 has a groove (not shown) for mounting the reset component. The groove is located at the lower part of the mounting slot 61. When the button 62 is pressed, the inner wall of the lower part of the button 62 is compressed, which presses the reset component placed in the groove. This facilitates releasing the external force and resetting the button 62. Furthermore, the reset component is a spring, which is widely available and easy to implement.

[0052] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the outer locking point 621, the inner locking point 622, and the button 62 are integrally formed, which greatly improves the structural strength.

[0053] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the side wall of the slot 64 is provided with an inner protrusion for engaging with the outer locking point 621. When the outer locking point 621 enters the slot 64 and rests on the upper surface of the inner protrusion, the handle 5 can be closed. When the handle 5 is flipped upwards, it can be opened. Further explanation is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the slot 64 is located on the lower surface of the handle 5. This arrangement facilitates entry or exit from the outer locking point 621.

[0054] Example 4: This can be explained based on Example 3, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a base 13 is provided on the main cover 1, and the base 13 is integrally formed with the main cover 1. A rotating shaft is provided through the base 13, and a return component is provided on the rotating shaft. The upper cover 2 is fitted onto the rotating shaft, and a handle 5 is installed on the rotating shaft extending from the upper cover 2. In this way, the upper cover 2 and the handle 5 can be flipped up and down using the same rotating shaft. To further explain, the return component is a spring (torsion spring) for ease of implementation. To further explain, a vent hole 14 is provided on the main cover 1, and a blocking post 21 is provided on the lower surface of the upper cover 2. The blocking post 21 is integrally formed with the upper cover 2. The blocking post 21 moves together with the upper cover 2 as it flips up and down. This allows the blocking post 21 to move away from the vent hole 14, or it can block the vent hole 14.

[0055] Example 5: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 4, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the upper cover 2 corresponding to the nozzle 3 has an opening, and a mouthpiece 7 is provided on the opening to cover the nozzle 3. This arrangement makes it easier to open and close.

[0056] Example 6: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, or Example 5, such as... Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the present invention also provides a water cup, including a cup body 10, with the aforementioned double drinking cup lid 20 installed on the mouth of the cup body 10. The water suction tube at the lower part of the suction tube 31 extends into the cup body 10, which is conducive to drinking water through the water suction tube.

[0057] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as sealing rings and springs that are mature in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this invention. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this invention, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the description and drawings of this invention, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this invention.
