Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water cups, in particular to a cup cover. Background Art
[0002] The cup lid is the most important part of food and beverage packaging. It is the part that comes into contact with users most frequently. The opening and closing of the cup lid determines whether the beverage in the container can be drunk. It is an important product in daily life.
[0003] The cup lids on the market usually include a cover body, a flip cover rotatably connected to the cover body, and a drinking unit arranged on the cover body. The flip cover is opened from the cover body and the user can drink water through the drinking unit. In order to ensure that the flip cover is in a normally closed state when the cup is idle, a switch device is usually arranged on the front side of the cover body or the flip cover. When the user is drinking water, the components of the switch device are easy to contact the user's face, resulting in a poor drinking experience. Most switch devices have too simple structures and may accidentally open if accidentally touched by external force. Moreover, arranging the switch device on the front side of the cup lid will also increase the probability of the switch device being accidentally touched. How to design a cup lid with a good user experience and a stable normally closed state is a problem that designers have yet to solve. Utility Model Content
