[0031] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present invention shall have the usual meanings understood by persons with ordinary skills in the field to which the present invention belongs. The words "first", "second" and similar words used in the present invention do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Words such as "include" or "comprise" and the like mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" and the like are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a straw capable of changing the drinking method comprises a cup cover 1, wherein a drinking port 2 is provided in the middle of the cup cover 1, and an L-shaped slot 3 is provided at one end of the drinking port 2 located at the lower side of the cup cover 1, which is rotatably connected to a buckle 7 at the upper end of a first plastic part 4, and the drinking port 2 of the cup cover 1 is connected to the inside of the first plastic part 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 Here, the first plastic part 4 and the cup cover 1 are arranged to be connected by a movable buckle, which is easy to disassemble and clean, and meets the needs of daily use.

[0033] The first plastic part 4 is concave in the middle and convex at both ends, is connected inside, and has a water inlet 8 in the middle. Figure 5 A sealing ring 9 is provided at the upper end of the water inlet 8, which is used to increase the air tightness of the water inlet 8 when the water inlet 8 is closed.

[0034] The second plastic part 5 is symmetrically arranged outside the middle of the first plastic part 4, and the second plastic parts 5 on both sides are connected by ultrasonic welding. Figure 5 After the second plastic parts 5 on both sides are connected, the protrusions at the upper and lower ends of the first plastic part 4 fix the second plastic part 5 in the corresponding position, making the connection stable. Figure 4 shown.

[0035] In addition, the second plastic part 5 includes a first groove 11 and a second groove 12, wherein a reinforcing rib 14 inclined upward to the left is provided at the lower end of the second groove 12, and the second groove 12 is in the shape of a right-angled trapezoid. The hypotenuse of the right-angled trapezoid is located on the upper side, inclined upward to the left, and forms a long channel with the reinforcing rib 14, and a metal ball 10 is provided in the long channel, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0036] When the second plastic part 5, which is symmetrical on both sides, is connected, the first symmetrical groove 11 wraps the middle part of the first plastic part 4 inside; the long strip channel formed by the hypotenuse of the right-angled trapezoid and the reinforcing rib 14 in the second groove 12 contains the water inlet 8 inside; and the second plastic part 5 is provided with openings 13 at both ends to form a hollow structure. With the above structure, the water inlet 8 and the metal ball are confined in the same space, and the relative position of the water inlet 8 and the metal ball is adjusted by the state of the straw (the tilted state of the water cup), so as to realize the switching of the drinking method of the straw or direct drinking.

[0037] In addition, the lower end of the first plastic part 4 is connected to the straw 6 , and the inner diameter of the first plastic part 4 is set corresponding to the outer diameter of the straw 6 , so that they are nested and connected in a matching manner.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, when the water cup is in an upright state, the metal ball 10 overlaps with the sealing ring 9 at the upper end of the water inlet 8. At this time, the disclosed straw capable of changing the drinking method is in a sealed state except for both ends, so water can be drunk through the straw; when the water cup is tilted, the metal ball 10 moves along the long strip channel due to gravity and separates from the sealing ring 9 at the upper end of the water inlet 8. At this time, the water in the water cup enters the side water inlet 8 through the openings 13 at the upper and lower ends of the second plastic part 5, thereby reaching the drinking port 2, realizing a direct drinking method.

[0039] Therefore, the utility model adopts the above-mentioned straw that can change the drinking method, so that it can adjust the drinking method according to the drinking action, is simple and easy to operate, realizes the switching between straw drinking and direct drinking, saves materials for making water cup lids, meets users' dual drinking needs, and improves user experience.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the utility model with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
