Detailed implementation mode
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments in the present utility model belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0022] According to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a milk tea cup lid with a function of preventing thermal expansion and overflow includes a lid body 1, which is a thin-walled frustum structure and is covered on the cup body. A groove 7 is opened at the upper end. One end of the groove 7 is an open structure to form a sipping port for the user to drink directly by putting the mouth against it. A large straw hole 8 for inserting a large straw for drinking and a small straw hole 2 for inserting a small straw or for direct drinking are axially opened on the inner bottom surface of the groove 7. The small straw hole 2 is close to the sipping port, and the tea drink flowing out of the small straw hole 2 can be directly drunk through the sipping port. A diaphragm 5 for sealing is provided in the large straw hole 8, and air holes 4 for discharging water vapor are opened on the diaphragm 5. This design facilitates the penetration of water vapor. The diaphragm 5 has a certain role in buffering thermal expansion. Further, the air holes 4 are located at the center of the diaphragm 5. Opening the air holes 4 facilitates the penetration of the tip of the straw, thereby reducing the difficulty of piercing. Moreover, the diaphragm 5 also plays a role in preventing overflow for the large straw hole 8, avoiding the liquid in the cup body from spilling out of the large straw hole 8 when the cup body shakes. The air holes 4 are small, and it is not easy for the liquid to spill out of the air holes 4 when the cup body shakes. And the groove 7 plays a certain role in preventing leakage and overflow;
[0023] A flip cover 19, which fits the shape of the groove 7. One end is rotatably arranged in the groove 7 and then embedded in the groove 7 to cover the large straw hole 8 and the small straw hole 2. A sealing projection 16 for blocking the small straw hole 2 is provided on the flip cover 19 to avoid the liquid in the cup body from spilling out through the small straw hole 2. An exhaust hole 13 for discharging water vapor in cooperation with the air holes 4 is opened on the flip cover 19 to ensure that the pressure difference inside and outside the cup body is the same and avoid the cup body from swelling due to high temperature.
[0024] The flip cover 19 is provided with a bendable hem 15, so that the flip cover 19 is divided into a part A11 for covering the large straw hole 8 and a part B18 for covering the small straw hole 2. The blocking protrusion 16 is located on the part B18, and the exhaust hole 13 is located on the part A11. The part A11 and the part B18 can be bent through the hem 15. When drinking with the small straw or drinking through the sipping port, only the part B18 needs to be folded to open the small straw hole 2. When using the large straw, the part A11 is opened again.
[0025] The covering area of the part A11 is the low bottom surface 6, and the covering area of the part B18 is the high bottom surface 3. The distance from the low bottom surface 6 to the top surface of the cover body 1 is greater than the distance from the high bottom surface 3 to the top surface of the cover body 1. The hem 15 is located at the junction of the high bottom surface 3 and the low bottom surface 6. Both the high bottom surface 3 and the low bottom surface 6 are the bottom surfaces of the groove 7. Due to the height difference between the high bottom surface 3 and the low bottom surface 6, the liquid overflowing from the small straw hole 2 or the air hole 4 flows into the receiving groove formed by the low bottom surface 6 and then flows back into the cup body through the air hole 4.
[0026] A blocking protrusion 16 is recessed on the part B18 toward the small straw hole 2. The blocking protrusion 16 is inserted into the small straw hole 2 for sealing to prevent the liquid in the cup from spilling out. A buckling protrusion 14 is recessed on the part A11 toward the side opposite to the large straw hole 8. The part B18 is rotated so that the buckling protrusion 14 is inserted into the recessed side of the blocking protrusion 16 to achieve buckling, avoiding that the part B18 will hinder the user from drinking when the user drinks through the sipping port.
[0027] A cavity boss 12 matching the large straw hole 8 is recessed on the part A11 toward the side opposite to the large straw hole 8. The exhaust hole 13 is located on the cavity boss 12. The internal space of the cavity boss 12 is communicated with the air hole 4. The water vapor discharged from the air hole 4 enters the cavity boss 12 and is then discharged from the exhaust hole 13. This design effectively solves the problem that when the pressure difference inside and outside the cup is inconsistent, the diaphragm 5 bulges and adheres to the flip cover 19, resulting in the inability of the water vapor to be discharged outward through the air hole 4.
[0028] A boss fence 10 with a boss structure is formed at the upper end of the cover body 1, and the groove 7 is located on the boss fence 10.
[0029] Rotating shafts 17 are oppositely arranged on the side surface of one end of the flip cover 19. The rotating shafts 17 are clamped into the coaxial card slots 9 oppositely opened on the inner side wall of the groove 7, so that one end of the flip cover 19 rotates in the groove 7. The flip cover 19 is embedded in the groove 7. This structure is beneficial to prevent liquid leakage.
[0030] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution of the present utility model and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
