[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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.

[0060] See also Figures 1 to 9 The present application provides a switchable quantitative liquid storage container (hereinafter referred to as container 1000), which includes a bottle body 100, a bottle cap 200, a pump body 300, a movable blocking member 400 and a first operating member 510. The bottle body 100 has a storage space 110 for storing liquid. The liquid in the present application includes but is not limited to oil, and can also be vinegar, etc. The bottle cap 200 is connected to the bottle body 100, and is provided with a liquid outlet 210 and a quantitative cavity 220 connected to the liquid outlet 210. The bottle cap 200 has a first channel 231 and a second channel 232 connecting the storage space 110 and the quantitative cavity 220.

[0061] The pump body 300 is used to transport the liquid from the accommodating space 110 to the quantitative chamber 220 through the first channel 231. The blocking member 400 is used to block the second channel 232 and has a sealed state for closing the second channel 232 and a disengaged state for opening the second channel 232. The first operating member 510 is used to drive the blocking member 400 to switch between the sealed state and the disengaged state. The sealed state means that the liquid cannot enter the quantitative chamber 220 through the second channel 232, and the disengaged state means that the liquid is allowed to enter the quantitative chamber 220 through the second channel 232.

[0062] In actual use, for example, when the oil is directly discharged in an unquantified amount, the first operating member 510 is operated to disengage the blocking member 400 to open the second channel 232, and the container 1000 is tilted so that the oil in the accommodating space 110 enters the quantitative chamber 220 through the second channel 232 and finally flows out from the liquid outlet 210;

[0063] When the oil is quantitatively discharged, the first operating member 510 is operated to make the blocking member 400 in a sealed state, and the pump body 300 is driven to pump the oil into the quantitative chamber 220 through the first channel 231, and then the container 1000 is tilted to pour the oil out from the liquid outlet 210. The control of the oil output can be that the bottle cap 200 is provided with a scale for calibrating and displaying the oil volume, or the pump body 300 pumps a rated amount of oil once, and the operator operates the pump body 300 the number of times according to the required amount to control the amount of oil entering the quantitative chamber 220. If necessary, the operator can open the second channel 232 so that the oil in the quantitative chamber 220 flows back into the accommodating space 110 through the second channel 232.

[0064] The quantitative liquid storage container of the present application shares the same chamber (i.e., the quantitative chamber) for quantitative oil discharge and non-quantitative oil discharge, and only has one oil outlet, which has a simpler structure and can also allow the oil in the quantitative chamber to flow back when necessary.

[0065] The first channel 231 and the second channel 232 are independent of each other. "Independent" means that the two channels are not connected to each other between the accommodating space 110 and the quantitative chamber 220. Of course, the first channel 231 and the second channel 232 are also allowed to be connected. Preferably, the two channels are independent of each other to facilitate the arrangement of each channel.

[0066] In one embodiment, the second channel 232 is disposed at the bottom of the quantitative chamber 220 to facilitate the oil to flow back by gravity. The quantitative chamber 220 has a closing structure 221 connected to the second channel 232 to ensure clean oil flow back.

[0067] The outlet of the first channel 231 and the liquid outlet 210 are arranged at the top of the quantitative chamber 220, and the outlet and the liquid outlet 210 are arranged relative to each other. The "relative arrangement" needs to satisfy that when pouring oil, the oil first enters the liquid outlet 210. For example, in the figure, the liquid outlet 210 is at the front side, and the outlet of the first channel 231 is arranged at the rear side of the liquid outlet 210. The outlet of the first channel 231 is arranged at the top, which reduces and avoids the oil remaining in the first channel 231, making the quantitative liquid discharge more accurate.

[0068] See also Figure 3 to Figure 13 In one embodiment, the blocking member 400 can slide in the vertical direction, and the first operating member 510 is movably disposed on the bottle cap 200 and a transmission component is disposed between the first operating member 510 and the blocking member 400 .

[0069] For example, the first operating member 510 is rotatably disposed on the bottle cap 200, and the transmission assembly includes a first linking member 610, which changes the movement direction between the first operating member 510 and the blocking member 400. Preferably, in vertical projection, the rotation axis of the first operating member 510 is disposed close to the edge of the container 1000, reducing the torque of the first operating member 510 to make the operation easier.

[0070] Among them, the blocking member 400 is a silicone plug and is fixed on the first linking member 610, the first linking member 610 is slidably installed on the bottle cap 200, the first operating member 510 has a driving part 511 acting on the first linking member 610, the driving part 511 and / or the first linking member 610 are provided with a transmission inclined surface, the first operating member 510 drives the first linking member 610 to drive the blocking member 400 through the transmission inclined surface, and the first operating member 510 and / or the first linking member 610 have a positioning part that connects the transmission inclined surface so that the blocking member 400 stays in a sealed state.

[0071] The bottle cap 200 includes a base 241, an intermediate base 242 and an upper cover 243. The base 241 is connected to the bottle body 100 (e.g., threaded connection), and the pump body 300, the first linkage member 610 and the first operating member 510 are arranged on the base 241. The intermediate base 242 is connected to the top of the base 241 and has a quantitative cavity 220. The upper cover 243 is connected to the top of the intermediate base 242 and covers the liquid outlet 210.

[0072] Combined with Figure 6 to Figure 13 The blocking member 400 is a soft plug and is located on the side of the base 241 close to the bottle body 100. The first linking member 610 includes a first guide portion 611 penetrating the base 241 and a first connecting portion 612 connected to the blocking member 400. The first guide portion 611 is a columnar structure and is sealed with the base 241. The first operating member 510 is located on the side of the base 241 away from the bottle body 100. The driving portion 511 is a convex block arranged on the first operating member 510, and a groove matching the convex block is arranged on the corresponding first guide portion 611. The transmission slope includes a first transmission slope 512 and a second transmission slope 513 arranged on the convex block to drive the first linking member 610 to slide up and down respectively. The corresponding groove is provided with a third transmission slope 613 matching the first transmission slope 512, and a fourth transmission slope 614 matching the second transmission slope 513.

[0073] The positioning part includes a first plane 514 connected to the first transmission slope 512, and a second plane 615 matched with the first plane 514 and connected to the third transmission slope 613. The first plane 514 and the second plane 615 are perpendicular to the vertical direction. The blocking member 400 is squeezed in the sealed state, and acts in the opposite direction on the first linking member 610 and drives the two planes to press against each other, thereby limiting the shaking of the first operating member 510 to keep the blocking member 400 in the sealed state. A sealing ring is arranged between the first guide part 611 and the base 241, and the sealing ring and the base rub against each other to provide a certain resistance to limit the first linking member 610 from sliding freely.

[0074] Re-read Figure 6In one embodiment, the container 1000 includes a hose constituting the first channel 231, and the hose is wound in a U shape. The bottom of the middle seat 242 has a first pipe 244, and the base 241 has a second pipe 245. The first pipe 244 is inserted into the second pipe 245 to form the second channel 232, and a sealing ring is provided between the first pipe 244 and the second pipe 245 to prevent leakage of oil.

[0075] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the pump body 300 is at least partially located below the metering chamber 220, and the outlet of the first channel 231 is set at the top of the metering chamber 220. The metering chamber 220 needs to avoid the hose and / or the pump body, resulting in an irregular shape of its own cavity and a reduced volume.

[0076] See also Figures 14 to 18 In another embodiment, the pump body 300 and the hose constituting the first channel 231 are arranged below the quantitative cavity 220 (i.e., below the middle seat 242), so the quantitative cavity 220 does not need to change its shape to avoid the hose or the pump body 300, thereby increasing the volume of the quantitative cavity 220 and making the cavity shape more regular, which is conducive to processing and manufacturing. The outlet aperture of the first channel 231 is 3 to 5 mm, preferably 4 to 4.7 mm.

[0077] The figure also provides another structural form of operating the first operating member, which is as follows:

[0078] The transmission assembly includes a second linking member 620, which is connected to the blocking member 400 and is slidably disposed on the bottle cap 200, and the first operating member 510 is slidably disposed on the bottle cap 200 and directly or indirectly driven by the second linking member 520. For example, the transmission assembly also includes a transmission member 630, which is rotatably disposed on the bottle cap 200, and the two ends are respectively movably matched with the first operating member 510 and the second linking member 620, and the "movable match" is rotation and sliding. Specifically, the second linking member 620 includes a second guide portion 621 that penetrates the base 241, and a second connecting portion 622 that is connected to the blocking member 400, the second guide portion 621 is provided with a waist-shaped groove, one end of the transmission member 630 is slidably and rotatably matched with the waist-shaped groove, and a sealing ring is provided between the second guide portion 621 and the base 241 to prevent liquid seepage. In one embodiment, the container 1000 includes a second operating member 520 for driving the pump body 300. The bottle cap 200 is at least partially transparent, so as to facilitate observation of the internal situation of the quantitative cavity 220 . For example, the middle seat 242 is transparent.

[0079] The quantitative liquid storage container of the present application shares the same chamber (i.e., the quantitative chamber) for quantitative oil discharge and non-quantitative oil discharge, and only has one oil outlet, which has a simpler structure and can allow the oil in the quantitative chamber to flow back when necessary.

[0080] 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.

[0081] 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.
