[0026] Figure 1 Shows a schematic perspective view of a cup head assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the cup head assembly 1 includes a cup head body 11 and a top cover 13 pivotally connected to the cup head body 11. The cup head body 11 includes a portion for engaging with the container body 21 (see Figure 5) and a drinking spout element 110 located on the base 12. The drinking spout element 110 may be formed integrally with the base 12, or may be formed separately from the base 12 and assembled together with the base 12. In the case where the drinking spout element 110 and the base 12 are formed separately, the drinking spout element 110 may be made of a material different from that of the base 12, and may be made of a flexible material, such as flexible silicone, thereby providing a more comfortable touch for the user.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the drinking spout element 110 is formed with a direct drinking opening 111 for sucking liquid from the inside of the container. The top of the drinking spout element 110 may be formed with a top outer peripheral edge 114 and a recess 118 surrounded by the top outer peripheral edge 114. The top outer peripheral edge 114 may be configured to extend downwardly and obliquely from the side where the direct drinking opening 111 is located toward the side opposite to the direct drinking opening 111 in the radial direction. When viewed from the side of the cup head assembly 1, the top outer peripheral edge 114 may be straight or have a certain curvature. The inclined structure of the top outer peripheral edge 114 of the drinking spout element 110 as described above and the combined structure of the top outer peripheral edge 114 and the recess 118 can adapt to the lips of the human body and help to naturally suck up liquid.

[0028] Depend on Figure 1 It can be further seen that a vent hole 112 is formed on one side of the cup head body 11 opposite to the direct drinking opening 111 in the radial direction, and is configured to communicate with the internal fluid of the container, thereby balancing the air pressure inside and outside the container. Figure 1 As shown, the vent hole 112 is formed in the drinking spout element 110. In other embodiments not shown, the vent hole 112 can also be formed in the base 12.

[0029] Figure 2 Shown from below Figure 1 A schematic three-dimensional diagram of the cup head body 11 of the cup head assembly 1. Figure 2 As shown, the cup head body 11 is formed with a ventilation duct 113, which is connected to the ventilation hole 112 (see Figure 1 ) is connected, and for example can be configured to extend downward from the vent hole 112. In addition, the drinking spout element 110 is also formed with a liquid conduit 119, which is connected to the direct drinking opening 111 (see Figure 1 ) is connected. Thus, the interior of the container can be connected to the outside world through the liquid pipeline 119 and the direct drinking opening 111.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the base 12 may have a structure for connecting with the container body 21 (see Figure 5 ) is matched with an internal thread, whereby the cup head assembly 1 can be threadedly connected with the container body 21 to form a drinking container 2 (seeFigure 5 )。Of course, in other embodiments, the cup head assembly 1 can also be connected to the container body 21 in other ways (such as snap connection).

[0031] The cup head assembly 1 can include a connection pad 120 as Figure 3 shown, and the connection pad 120 can be configured to be installed on the base 12 from below. Figure 4 FIG. shows the state of the connection pad 120 installed on the base 12, that is, when installed in the cup head assembly 1.

[0032] As Figure 3 can be seen, the connection pad 120 can be generally configured as a disc shape. The connection pad 120 can have a through hole 121 for the ventilation pipe 113 to be inserted, so that when the cup head assembly 1 is installed on the container body 21, the inside of the container can still communicate with the outside through the ventilation pipe 113. The connection pad 120 can also have an interface 122 for cooperating with the liquid pipe 119, so that when the cup head assembly 1 is installed on the container body 21, the inside of the container can still communicate with the outside through the liquid pipe 119. For example, the interface 122 can be configured as a cylindrical shape, and can be set to be able to be embedded into the liquid pipe 119 from the inside of the liquid pipe 119 and connected to the liquid pipe 119, so that the liquid can lead to the outside of the container from the inside of the container via the interface 122, the liquid pipe 119, and the direct drinking opening 111.

[0033] In addition, the interface 122 of the connection pad 120 can also be set to be detachably connected to the straw fitting 130. Thus, the liquid in the container can be sucked through the straw fitting 130, the interface 122, the liquid pipe 119, and the direct drinking opening 111 by inserting the straw fitting 130 into the interface 122. As Figure 4 shown, the straw fitting 130 can include a cylindrical main body portion 133 and a connection head portion 135 located at one end of the main body portion. The straw fitting 130 can be installed on the interface 122 by using the connection head portion 135. For example, as Figure 5 shown, the connection head portion 135 of the straw fitting 130 can be constructed with an annular card slot, and the annular card slot can be engaged with the radially inwardly protruding annular flange on the interface 122. It should be understood that in other embodiments not shown, the straw fitting 130 can also be connected to the liquid pipe 119 without relying on the connection pad 120. For example, the straw fitting 130 can be directly connected to the liquid pipe 119.

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, for example, the connection pad 120 can form two raised portions 123 on its upper surface to cooperate with the corresponding grooves 115 provided on the base 12 (see Figure 2)Engage to achieve the positioning of the connection pad 120. It should be understood that in other embodiments not shown, the connection pad 120 may be formed with grooves, and the base 12 may be formed with corresponding protrusions. It should be understood that the protrusion 123 and the groove 115 may be formed as shape - mating parts of various shapes, as long as the two can engage with each other through shape - mating. It should be understood that the two shape - mating parts formed on the connection pad 120 and the two shape - mating parts formed on the base 12 may be respectively arranged to face each other in the radial direction for ease of manufacturing. It should be understood that the number of shape - mating parts formed on the connection pad 120 and on the base 12 respectively is not limited to two, and may also be one or more than three.

[0035] The connection pad 120 can be made of a flexible material, so that the connection pad 120 can be held on the base 12, for example, through the cooperation between the ventilation pipe 113 and the through - hole 121, the cooperation between the liquid pipe 119 and the interface 122, and / or the cooperation between the protrusion 123 and the groove 115. It should be understood that the situation where the connection pad 120 is held on the base 12 by other means is not excluded.

[0036] Combine Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the connection pad 120 can be configured to cover the opening of the container body 21 to play a sealing role when the base 12 is threadedly connected to the container body 21 in the installed state, that is, it can prevent leakage from the connection part between the cup head assembly 1 and the container body 21. As Figure 4 shown, the lower surface of the connection pad 120 can also be provided with a handle part 124 for the user to grip, so as to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the connection pad 120.

[0037] The connection pad 120 can be made of silicone rubber with a Shore hardness of 40A - 60A, for example, to achieve stable and reliable sealing performance and high durability.

[0038] In addition, combine Figure 1 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the top cover 13 can be provided with a sealing member 134, which can include a first sealing part 1341 for sealing the ventilation hole 112 and a second sealing part 1342 for sealing the direct - drinking opening.

[0039] In addition, as Figure 1 shown, the top cover 13 can be pivotally connected to the cup head body 11 through a hinge part 131, for example. The hinge part 131 can be provided with a return spring to apply a force to the top cover 13 in the opening direction, so that when the top cover 13 is in the state as Figure 1When in the open state as shown, the force and the gravity of the top cover 13 itself can keep it in the open state. For example, the top cover 13 may be provided with a buckle 132, which can cooperate with a card slot 116 provided on the cup head body 11 to fix the top cover 13 on the cup head body 11. As Figure 1 shown, the cup head body 11 may also be provided with a switch 117, which is configured to unlock the interlock between the buckle 132 and the card slot 116 when pressed, so that the top cover 13 can be opened. In addition, as Figure 1 shown, the cup head assembly 1 may also be provided with a pair of strap fixing parts 18 for installing a strap (not shown).

[0040] According to the drinking container 2 provided by the present utility model, it can provide both the direct drinking and straw drinking methods, and can also reduce the risk of liquid leakage.
