For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water cup provided by the utility model comprises a cup body 1 and a flip cover 2 , wherein the flip cover 2 comprises a mounting seat 21 and a protective shell 22 sleeved outside the mounting seat 21 .

[0035] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting seat 21 is provided with two snap-fitting mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged in the horizontal direction. The snap-fitting mechanisms include a first rotating shaft 511, a second rotating shaft 512, a first switch paddle 521, a second switch paddle 522, a slider 53, a first compression spring 55 and a flip switch 54. The front and rear ends of the radial inner side of the slider 53 are respectively provided with snap plates 533, and the mounting seat is provided with a socket 210 for the snap plate 533 to pass through.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, an annular connecting ring is provided at the water outlet of the cup body 1, and an annular buckle groove 110 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting ring. The buckle plate 533 on the slider 53 can be engaged with or separated from the buckle groove 110 on the connecting ring 11 of the cup body.

[0037] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The front and rear ends of the radial inner side of the slider 53 are also provided with a force-bearing portion 531. The mounting seat 21 is provided with a first rotating shaft 511 and a second rotating shaft 512 at intervals along the front-to-back direction. The middle of the first switch paddle 521 is passed through the first rotating shaft 511, and the first switch paddle 521 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 511. The middle of the second switch paddle 522 is passed through the second rotating shaft 512, and the second switch paddle 522 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 512. The first switch paddle 52 A pressing portion 5201 is respectively provided at the proximal end of the first switch paddle 521 and the second switch paddle 522, and a pushing portion 5202 is respectively provided at the distal end of the first switch paddle 521 and the second switch paddle 522. The pushing portion 5202 abuts against the force-bearing portion 531 on the slider 53, and the radial inner end of the flip switch 54 abuts against the pressing portion 5201, and the radial outer end of the flip switch 54 passes through the outside of the protective shell 22, and the first compression spring 55 is arranged between the slider 53 and the flip switch 54. When the flip switch 54 is pressed inward (external force is applied to the radial inner end of the flip switch), the radial inner end of the flip switch 54 acts on the pressing portions 5201 of the first switch paddle 521 and the second switch paddle 522, so that the first switch paddle 521 rotates around the first rotating shaft 511, and the second switch paddle 522 rotates around the second rotating shaft 512. The pushing portions 5202 of the first switch paddle 521 and the second switch paddle 522 push the slider 53 outward, so that the buckle plate 533 on the slider 53 moves radially outward, the buckle plate 533 is separated from the buckle groove 110, and the flip cover 2 is opened.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the water cup provided by the utility model adopts a new buckling structure to connect the flip cover 2 and the cup body 1. Specifically, by providing two left-right symmetrical buckling mechanisms on the mounting seat 21 of the flip cover 2, when the flip cover switch 54 is pressed inward, the first switch paddle 521 can be pushed to rotate around the first rotating shaft 511, and the second switch paddle 522 can be pushed around the second rotating shaft 512, so that the first switch paddle 521 and the second switch paddle 522 push the slider 53 outward, so that the buckle plate 533 on the slider 53 moves radially outward, the buckle plate 533 is separated from the buckle groove 110 on the cup body 1, and the flip cover 2 is opened.

[0039] In one embodiment, the rear side of the flip cover 2 is hinged to the cup body 1 through the rotating shaft 4a, and a torsion spring is provided at the hinge between the flip cover 2 and the cup body 1. When the flip cover switch is pressed, the torsion spring enables the flip cover to pop out automatically. The structure of the torsion spring and how to install the rotating shaft and the torsion spring belong to the common knowledge in the art and will not be described here.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 6A top cover 3 is also provided on the top of the flip cover 2. The rear side of the top cover 3 is hinged to the flip cover 2 through a rotating shaft 4b, and the front side of the top cover 3 is engaged with or separated from the flip cover 2 through a button lock structure.

[0041] The water cup further includes a suction nozzle 61 and a straw 62. The suction nozzle 61 passes through the flip cover 2 and is fixed on the flip cover 2. The upper end of the suction nozzle 61 is tilted toward the cover opening button 71. The upper end of the straw 62 is connected to the suction nozzle 61, and the lower end of the straw 62 extends to the inner bottom of the cup body 1. The flip cover 2 is provided with a convection hole 200. When the suction nozzle 61 is used to drink water, the convection hole 200 and the suction nozzle 61 cooperate to play the role of air circulation, so that the user can drink water smoothly.

[0042] A one-way valve 2001 is also installed at the bottom of the flip cover 2. The one-way valve 2001 is arranged at the bottom of the convection hole 200. A straight-line opening (not shown in the figure) is provided on the one-way valve 2001. The straight-line opening is closed in normal state to prevent the water cup from leaking. When the user sucks hard on the mouth when drinking water, the straight-line opening is stretched open, and the convection hole 200 plays a convection role.

[0043] See also Figures 6 to 8 The button lock structure includes a cover opening button 71 and a second compression spring 72. A button seat groove for accommodating the cover opening button 71 is provided on the front side wall of the flip cover 2. A second compression spring 72 is provided between the cover opening button 71 and the bottom of the button seat groove. A through groove 710 is provided on the cover opening button 71. A lower hook 711 and an upper hook 712 are provided on the rear side wall and the front side wall of the through groove 710 respectively. The upper hook 712 is located above the lower hook 711. A snap ring 30 is provided at the front end of the upper cover 3. The snap ring 30 can be buckled with the upper hook 712 and the lower hook 711.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, when the upper cover 3 is buckled on the flip cover 2, the snap ring 30 is buckled with the lower hook 711. When the cover opening button 71 is pressed inward, the snap ring 30 is disengaged from the lower hook 711, and the upper hook 712 is buckled with the snap ring 30, so that the upper cover 3 is in a semi-open state, and steam is exhausted in the semi-open state, thereby preventing the hot water vapor from spraying out and scalding the human body when the upper cover 3 is suddenly opened. When the cover opening button 71 is released, the upper hook 712 is disengaged from the snap ring 30, and the upper cover 3 automatically pops up under the action of the suction nozzle 61, and the upper cover 3 is opened.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
