Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an easily disassembled flip cover container. Background Art

[0002] Some existing containers, such as water cups or milk bottles, are provided with lids. In order to improve the cover connection firmness and cover connection sealing of the lid, the lid is usually connected to the cup body by threaded connection. However, the cover cannot be connected to the cup body in a flippable manner relative to the cup body by threaded connection. Therefore, when opening the lid, the cover needs to be unscrewed, and the unscrewed cover cannot be supported on the cup body and can only be placed on a table or other places. The sundries on the table may contaminate the nipple or straw head on the lid, which is unhygienic and inconvenient to use. Some existing technologies directly hinge the lid on the cup body in a rotatable manner. Although there is no need to remove the lid when the lid is opened, the cover connection firmness and cover connection sealing of the lid are poor because the lid and the cup body cannot be connected by threaded connection, which leads to the problem that the liquid in the container is easy to leak out, and the direct hinge makes the lid impossible to disassemble or difficult to disassemble, and thus inconvenient to clean.

[0039] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0040] See also Figure 1-Figure 9 An embodiment of the utility model provides an easily detachable flip-top container, which includes a container body 10, a cover body 20 and a hinge structure 30. The container body 10 is hollow with an open top; the cover body 20 is threadedly connected to the container body 10 to cover the open top of the container body 10; the hinge structure 30 includes a first hinge 31 and a second hinge 32, the first hinge 31 is arranged at the bottom of the cover body 20, and the second hinge 32 is arranged at the top of the container body 10, and the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 can be plugged in and separated from each other in the axial direction and circumferential direction of the container body 10; when the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 are plugged in and matched, the threads of the cover body 20 and the container body 10 are loosened, and the cover body 20 can be flipped relative to the container body 10 through the hinge structure 30; during the process of threaded engagement of the cover body 20 and the container body 10, the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 are separated along the circumferential direction of the container body 10.

[0041] By adopting the above scheme, the flip-top container can not only realize the cover body 20 and the container body 10 being covered by threaded connection, but also realize that the cover body 20 can be flipped relative to the container body 10, so that the cover body 20 not only has the good cover connection firmness and cover connection sealing of the threaded connection, but also can be flipped relative to the container body 10 when the cover body 20 is loosened and opened, so as to be supported on the container body 10. When the cover body 20 is opened, it does not need to be removed from the container body 10, which is more convenient and hygienic to use. And the cover body 20 is detachable and easy to clean. In addition, since the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 can also be plugged and matched and separated in the axial direction of the container body 10, it can make new users intuitively and easily connect the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 without having to specially study the product manual to understand how to use it. The product design is more in line with the user's usage habits and improves the user experience.

[0042] Specifically, in order to prevent the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 from separating along the axial direction of the container body 10 when the cover body 20 is flipped relative to the container body 10, in the present embodiment, an axial limiting structure 40 is provided between the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32. When the cover body 20 is flipped relative to the container body 10, the axial limiting structure 40 limits the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 from separating along the axial direction of the container body 10.

[0043] More specifically, in this embodiment, the axial limiting structure 40 includes a limiting rib 41 provided on one of the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 and a limiting groove 42 provided on the other of the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32. When the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 are plugged and matched, the limiting rib 41 is embedded in the limiting groove 42. Therefore, under the cooperation of the limiting rib 41 and the limiting groove 42, when the cover 20 is flipped relative to the container body 10, the first hinge 31 and the second hinge 32 will not separate along the axial direction of the container body 10. In this embodiment, the limiting rib 41 is provided on the first hinge 31, and the limiting groove 42 is provided on the second hinge 32. It can be understood that the axial limiting structure 40 can also adopt other commonly used limiting structures, such as using interference fit to achieve limiting.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first hinge 31 is provided with a hinge portion 311 hingedly matched with the cover body 20, and the cover body 20 is flipped relative to the container body 10 through the hinge portion 311. As an alternative, the hinge portion 311 may not be provided on the first hinge 31, but may be replaced by a hinge portion hingedly matched with the container body 10 provided on the second hinge 32. The effect of the hinge portion 311 being provided on the first hinge 31 or on the second hinge 32 is the same.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first hinge 31 is provided with an insert block 312, and the second hinge 32 is provided with a slot 321. The slot 321 is provided with an axial opening 3211 and a circumferential opening 3212. The axial opening 3211 of the slot 321 is provided at the top of the slot 321, and the circumferential opening 3212 of the slot 321 is provided on one side wall of the slot 321. The plug block 312 can be inserted into or withdrawn from the slot 321 from the axial opening 3211 along the axial direction of the container body 10, and the plug block 312 can be inserted into or withdrawn from the slot 321 from the circumferential opening 3212 along the circumferential direction of the container body 10. The slot 321 is circumferentially limited by the groove wall away from the circumferential opening 3212, so that the plug block 312 will not be separated from the slot 321 along the insertion direction; specifically, the plug block 312 can be inserted into the slot 321 from the circumferential opening 3212 along the direction of thread loosening, and can be withdrawn from the slot 321 from the circumferential opening 3212 along the direction of thread engagement. It can be understood that the first hinge 31 is provided with the plug block 312, and the second hinge 32 is provided with the slot 321. The method can also be replaced by the first hinge 31 being provided with a slot, and the second hinge 32 being provided with the plug block, and the effect is the same.

[0046] In this embodiment, the axial limiting structure 40 is disposed between the insert block 312 and the slot 321. Specifically, the limiting rib 41 is disposed on the outer wall of the insert block 312, and the limiting groove 42 is disposed on the inner wall of the slot 321 away from the outer wall of the container body 10. In specific implementation, it is preferred that the insert block 312 or the side wall of the slot 321 having the limiting groove 42 is configured to have a certain elastic deformation capability, so that during the plugging process of the insert block 312 and the slot 321, the elastic deformation capability facilitates the limiting rib 41 to be embedded in the limiting groove 42, and the plugging is smoother and more reliable.

[0047] In this embodiment, the hinged portion 311 is provided with a first shaft hole 3111, and the hinged structure 30 further includes a rotating shaft 33 passing through the first shaft hole 3111. A fixing seat 21 is convexly provided on the outer peripheral wall of the cover body 20, and a second shaft hole 211 matching the rotating shaft 33 is provided on the fixing seat 21, and the hinged portion 311 rotates relative to the fixing seat 21 through the rotating shaft 33. It can be understood that when the hinged portion 311 is selected to be provided on the second hinged member 32, the fixing seat is correspondingly provided on the container body 10.

[0048] Preferably, an angle limiting structure (not shown) for limiting the flipping angle of the cover body 20 is provided between the hinged portion 311 and the fixed seat 21. In some embodiments, the angle limiting structure can be a limiting protrusion provided on the hinged portion 311 or the fixed seat 21. Of course, it can also be an angle limiting structure in other forms, such as an angle limiting structure being a limiting step surface. The angle limiting structure preferably limits the flipping angle of the cover body 20 to be less than 90°, so as to avoid the problem that the center of gravity of the entire flip-top container may be unstable when the flipping angle of the cover body 20 is greater than 90°. It is worth mentioning that in order to ensure that the cover body 20 can be maintained at the flipping angle without falling when the flipping angle of the cover body 20 is less than 90°, the hinged portion 311 is designed to be an interference fit at the rotational fit between the rotating shaft 33 and the fixed seat 21, so as to have a certain friction force, and the flipped cover body 20 is limited to fall by this friction force.

[0049] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the open top of the container body 10 is provided with an external thread 11, and the inner peripheral wall of the bottom end of the cover body 20 is provided with an internal thread 22. The cover body 20 and the container body 10 are threadedly engaged through the external thread 11 and the internal thread 22.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second hinge 32 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the container body 10 below the external thread 11 ; the first hinge 31 provided on the cover body 20 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the bottom of the cover body 20 .

[0051] The method of using the flip-top container of this embodiment is briefly described as follows:

[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 7 At this time, the cover 20 is closed, the cover 20 and the container body 10 are in a threaded loose state, the plug block 312 of the first hinge 31 is inserted into the slot 321 of the second hinge 32, the limiting rib 41 on the first hinge 31 and the limiting groove 42 on the second hinge 32 are engaged to form a limit in the axial direction of the container body 10, and the cover 20 can be turned over relative to the container body 10 through the hinge structure 30 without being affected by the thread;

[0053] exist Figure 1 and Figure 7 In the state, when the cover body 20 is rotated relative to the container body 10 in the direction of thread tightening, the plug block 312 of the first hinge 31 withdraws from the slot 321 of the second hinge 32, the first hinge 31 is separated from the second hinge 32, and the cover body 20 and the container body 10 are connected by threads to form a good sealing connection, and the connection is firm;

[0054] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 The cover 20 is shown along the axial direction of the container body 10 ( Figure 8A schematic diagram of the process of plugging the container body 10 in the direction indicated by the arrow F in the middle;

[0055] See also Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 The cover 20 is shown along the axial direction of the container body 10 ( Figure 8 The figure is a three-dimensional cross-sectional view of the cover 20 when it is plugged into the container body 10 in the direction indicated by the arrow F in the middle. At this time, the cover 20 is in the flipped-up state. In this state, after the cover 20 is flipped down and covered with the container body 10, the cover 20 can be rotated relative to the container body 10 in the direction of thread engagement (i.e., thread tightening), so that the cover 20 and the container body 10 are threadedly connected. At this time, the insert block 312 of the first hinge 31 exits the slot 321.

[0056] exist Fig. 9 In the state, the user can choose Figure 8 The plug block 312 is pulled out of the slot 321 in the opposite direction of the middle arrow F, and the cover body 20 can be removed from the container body 10, so that the cover body 20 and the container body 10 can be completely separated easily, which is conducive to the thorough cleaning of the cover body 20 and the container body 10.

[0057] The utility model is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the utility model, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
