[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a central component. When a component is referred to as being "disposed on" another component, it may be directly disposed on the other component or there may be a central component at the same time.

[0050] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0051] In this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number or order of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 8 The present application provides a sealable container (hereinafter referred to as container), which includes a bottle body 100 and a bottle cap assembly 200. The bottle body 100 is used to load particles, liquids, etc. This embodiment takes liquid as an example.

[0053] The bottle cap assembly 200 includes a base 210, a pressure cap 220 and a turntable 230. The base 210 is detachably connected to the bottle body 100, such as by existing connection methods such as threads or buckles. The base 210 has a discharge pipe 211 connected to the inside of the bottle body. When in use, the container is tilted so that the liquid flows out through the discharge pipe 211.

[0054] The pressure cover 220 is slidably disposed on the base 210 and the pressure cover 220 and the base 210 enclose an installation chamber 221. The pressure cover 220 has a downward pressing position ( Figure 8 ), and the rising position that allows the discharge pipe 211 to open ( Figure 1 ). The sliding direction of the pressure cover 220 can be understood as the vertical direction when the container is placed flat on a horizontal plane.

[0055] The turntable 230 is located in the installation chamber 221 and is linked with the pressure cover 220. The linkage method includes direct or indirect linkage. The turntable 230 has a first rotation direction for driving the pressure cover 220 to rise, and a second rotation direction for being pressed down by the pressure cover 220. The two rotation directions are opposite and the two rotation directions are based on the following rotation axis 235.

[0056] The container further includes an elastic member 240 and a locking member 250 acting between the rotating disk 230 and the base 210. The elastic member 240 is, for example, a spring, a coil spring, etc., and is used to drive the rotating disk 230 to move in the first rotation direction. The elastic member 240 accumulates force when the rotating disk 230 moves in the second rotation direction. The locking member 250 is installed on the base 210 and acts on the rotating disk 230 to keep the pressure cover 220 in the pressed position, while limiting its movement in the first rotation direction.

[0057] The container of the present application utilizes the cooperation between the turntable, the elastic member and the locking member to achieve the pressing cover being kept in the pressed position and switched to the raised position. Compared with the prior art, at least the hinge seat is omitted, and the structure is simpler.

[0058] In addition, the turntable is a rotating motion, while the scissor-fork rod structure in the prior art changes in the sliding direction of the gland (the height direction of the container), so the spatial size of the installation room in the present application is allowed to be smaller, and accordingly, the height size of the container can be reduced accordingly, making it more compact. For example, in this embodiment, the sliding direction of the gland 220 is parallel to the rotation axis 235 of the turntable 230.

[0059] The pressure cover 220 and the rotating disk 230 are directly linked, for example, the pressure cover 220 and the rotating disk 230 are directly linked to each other, and the two sides facing each other are driven by mutually matching guiding inclined surfaces. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The pressure cover 220 and the rotating disk 230 are provided with vertical teeth extending toward each other and abutting against each other on their facing sides, and the guide slopes are located at the abutting positions of the matching vertical teeth. The vertical teeth include a first vertical tooth 226 provided on the pressure cover 220 and a second vertical tooth 233 provided on the rotating disk 230, and the guide slopes are a first guide slope 227 provided on the first vertical tooth 226 and a second guide slope 234 provided on the second vertical tooth 233.

[0060] During actual use, when the pressure cover 220 is forced to switch from the raised position to the pressed position, the turntable 230 is driven to rotate in the second rotation direction through the guide bevel and is locked by the lock 250, and at the same time the elastic member 240 accumulates force; the restriction of the lock 250 on the turntable 230 is released, the elastic member 240 resets and drives the turntable 230 to rotate in the first rotation direction, and drives the pressure cover 220 to switch to the raised position through the guide bevel.

[0061] Preferably, the vertical teeth cooperating with each other between the pressure cover 220 and the rotating disk 230 are a group, and there are at least two groups of vertical teeth spaced apart along the circumference of the rotating disk, so as to improve the linkage stability between the pressure cover 220 and the rotating disk 230 .

[0062] See also Figures 9 to 12 In one embodiment, the lock 250 is movably mounted on the base 210 and has:

[0063] Lock position( Fig. 9 and Fig.11 ), at least a portion of the rotating disk 230 is blocked by the locking member 250 to limit the rotating disk 230 from moving in the first rotation direction, and at this time, the pressing cover 220 is in the pressed position;

[0064] Unlock position( Fig.10 and Fig.12 ), the lock 250 avoids movement of the turntable 230.

[0065] Specifically, a positioning opening is provided on the outer edge of the rotating disk 230, and the locking member 250 is placed in the positioning opening in the locking position; or Fig.11 As shown, the rotating disk 230 is provided with a limit platform 231 protruding along the axial direction of the rotating disk, and the locking member 250 abuts against one side (i.e., the first side) of the limit platform 231 in the circumferential direction in the locking position. The other side (i.e., the second side) of the limit platform 231 in the circumferential direction is provided with a guide surface 232 for driving the locking member 250 toward the unlocking position. When the pressure cover 220 is pressed down, the rotating disk 230 rotates along the second rotation direction, and the guide surface 232 drives the locking member 250 to move and pass over the limit platform 231 until it reaches the first side of the limit platform 231. Under the action of the elastic member 240, the first side of the limit platform 231 abuts against the locking member 250.

[0066] The lock 250 is hinged to the base 210, at least a portion of the lock 250 extends into the interior of the installation chamber 221 and serves as a working portion 251 that cooperates with the turntable 230, and at least a portion of the lock 250 is located outside the installation chamber 221 and serves as an operating portion 252. The container further includes a spring 270 that acts on the lock 250 to rotate it, so that the lock 250 is in a locked position.

[0067] In one embodiment, the pressure cover 220 includes a cover body 222 and a flip cover 223 hinged to the cover body 222. The flip cover 223 has a closed position for closing the discharge pipe 211 and an open position for opening the discharge pipe 211. The pressure cover 220 closes or opens the discharge pipe 211 through the flip cover 223. The flip cover 223 has a blocking portion 224 located on one side of the hinged portion and cooperating with the pipe opening of the discharge pipe 211, and a counterweight portion 225 located on the other side of the hinged portion. The counterweight portion 225 is used to drive the flip cover 223 to the open position according to gravity, that is, Figure 2 As shown, when the container is tilted, the flip cover 223 is flipped relative to the cover body 222 and switched to an open position, and when the container is placed on a horizontal plane, the flip cover 223 is in a closed position.

[0068] Re-refer to Figure 6 and Fig. 9In one embodiment, the bottle cap assembly 200 further includes a stopper 260, which is fixed to the base 210 and is located in the installation chamber 221. When the pressure cover 220 is in the downward position, the stopper 260 keeps the flip cover 223 in the closed position. When the pressure cover 220 is in the upward position, the stopper 260 avoids the flip cover 223 and allows the flip cover 223 to be opened. A pivot 212 is fixed on the base 210, and the turntable 230 is rotatably sleeved on the pivot 212. Combined with the structure of the flip cover 223, the pivot 212 also serves as the stopper 260, and when the pressure cover 220 is in the downward position, the pivot 212 blocks the movement of the counterweight 225, so that even if the container is in a tilted state, the flip cover 223 cannot be turned over and is always in the closed position.

[0069] Key reference Figure 8 In one embodiment, the pressing cover 220 is flush with the upper surface of the base 210 when in the pressed position.

[0070] In one embodiment, the base 210 and the bottle body 100 are sealed and connected, for example, a sealing member for sealing is provided at the connection position between the two.

[0071] The container of the present application utilizes the cooperation between the turntable, the elastic member and the locking member to achieve the pressing cover being kept in the pressed position and switched to the raised position. Compared with the prior art, at least the hinge seat is omitted, and the structure is simpler.

[0072] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When the technical features in different embodiments are embodied in the same figure, it can be regarded that the figure also discloses the combination examples of the various embodiments involved.

[0073] The above embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
