Detailed implementation manners

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Such as Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, a water cup includes a cup body 1 and a cup lid 2. The cup lid 1 and the cup lid are connected by threads. A nozzle assembly 3 is snap-fitted inside the cup lid 2. A drinking port 4 that protrudes upward is provided on the cup lid 2. The nozzle assembly 3 includes a base 5 and a nozzle 6 integrally formed on the base 5. When the cup body 1 and the cup lid 2 are tightened, the base 5 covers the port of the cup body 1, preventing the water in the cup body 1 from leaking out through the gap at the threaded connection, acting as a sealing ring. A snap-fitting portion 8 is provided between the base 5 and the cup lid 2, and the nozzle assembly 3 is installed inside the cup lid 2 through the snap-fitting portion 8. The nozzle 6 passes through the drinking port 4 and protrudes above the drinking port 4. A straw 7 is snap-fitted at the end of the nozzle 6. The straw 7 is placed inside the cup body 1, and the water in the cup body 1 is drunk through the nozzle 6 and the straw 7. It also includes a dust-proof plug 9 for covering the nozzle 6. One end of the dust-proof plug 9 is provided with an elastic band 10 that extends outward. The other end of the elastic band 10 is detachably installed on the drinking port 4. By bending the elastic band 10, the dust-proof plug 9 is put on the nozzle 6 to seal the nozzle 6 and prevent dust from falling in, which is more convenient and fast to use.

[0026] An inner concave portion 11 is provided at one end of the elastic band 10 close to the dust-proof plug 9. When the dust-proof plug 9 covers the nozzle 6, the elastic band 10 is in a bent state. Since the elastic band 10 has elasticity, there will always be a resilience force. If the dust-proof plug 9 is not fully snap-fitted on the nozzle 9, it may fall off the nozzle 6 due to the resilience force of the elastic band 10. Therefore, the design of the inner concave portion 11 reduces the thickness of the material, reduces the resilience force of the elastic band 11 itself when bending, reduces the pulling force when pulling back, makes the pulling force for putting the dust-proof plug 9 on the nozzle 6 smaller, and avoids falling off. The inner concave portion 11 is arc-shaped concave, which helps with bending.

[0027] A fixing ring 12 is provided at the end of the elastic band 10 shown. The fixing ring 12 is installed on the drinking port 4 by sleeving, and the disassembly is relatively convenient. The dust-proof plug 9, the elastic band 10, and the fixing ring 12 are all made of silicone material, with a soft touch and good elasticity.

[0028] A limiting ring 13 that extends outward is provided at the end of the drinking port 4 shown. A limiting groove 14 that fits the limiting ring 13 is provided inside the dust-proof plug 9. When the dust-proof plug 9 is put on the nozzle, the limiting ring 13 is embedded in the limiting groove 14 to prevent the dust-proof plug from falling off. And when the fixing ring 12 is sleeved on the drinking port 4, the limiting ring 13 abuts against the fixing ring 12 from the upper end to prevent the fixing ring 12 from falling off.

[0029] A cavity 15 for accommodating the nozzle 6 is provided inside the dust-proof plug 9 shown. The diameter of the cavity 15 is larger than the diameter of the nozzle 6. The relatively large size of the cavity 15 is convenient for inserting a finger to clean the cavity 15. A closed plane 16 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 15, which is a neat plane. The height of the nozzle 6 is equal to the height inside the cavity 15. When the dust-proof plug 6 is put on, the closed plane 16 abuts against the port of the nozzle 6 to keep the nozzle 6 in a closed state and prevent the water inside from overflowing.

[0030] The cup lid 2 shown includes an upper lid 17 and a lower lid 18, and the cup lid 2 is a double-layer structure. Traditional cup lids are usually integrally injection-molded. If the product is too thick, it will increase the molding time and is also prone to incomplete solidification. In the production process, the lower lid 18 is integrally formed with the upper lid 17 through an overmolding process, reducing the wall thickness of the product during production. Therefore, it solves the problem of unsightly shrinkage on the appearance surface caused by the product being too thick, and also solves the problems of complex product processes and difficult-to-implement molds, which is helpful for production. The drinking port 4 is provided on the lower lid 18, and a drinking hole 19 is provided on the upper lid 17 corresponding to the position of the drinking port 4. The drinking port 4 protrudes above the upper lid 17 through the drinking hole 19.

[0031] The clamping portion 8 shown includes several annularly distributed first clamping grooves 20 on the inner wall of the upper lid 17, second clamping grooves 21 on the bottom of the lower lid 18 corresponding to the positions of the first clamping grooves 20, and a clamping block 22 protruding on the base 5. The first clamping grooves 20 communicate with the second clamping grooves 21. When the lower lid 18 is installed inside the upper lid 17, the first clamping grooves 20 and the second clamping grooves 21 coincide. Then, when installing the nozzle assembly 3, the clamping block 22 passes through the second clamping groove 21 and is embedded in the first clamping groove 20 to achieve clamping. Through the clamping installation method, it is convenient to disassemble and clean, ensuring good sanitary conditions.

[0032] A through hole 23 is provided at the top of the lower lid 18 shown, a groove 24 corresponding to the position of the through hole 23 is provided inside the upper lid 17, an air intake ring 25 is provided on the base 5 and passes through the through hole 23 and is embedded in the groove 24. An air return valve 26 is provided inside the air intake ring 25, and several air intake holes 27 are provided on the air return valve 26. A rib ring 30 is provided on the side wall of the nozzle 6, and the limiting ring 13 abuts against the rib ring 30 from the lower end to prevent the nozzle 6 from being squeezed into the drinking port 4 by an external force.

[0033] An opening 28 is provided on one side of the air intake ring 25 shown close to the drinking port 4, an air intake channel 29 is provided on the base 5, and the air intake channel 29 extends from the bottom of the rib ring 30 to the opening. External air can enter through the air intake channel 29 at the bottom of the rib ring 30, flow along the track of the air intake channel 29 into the opening 28 and then into the air intake ring 25. Finally, the air enters the inside of the cup body 1 through the air intake holes 27 on the air return valve 26, ensuring that the user can continuously drink water. When the user drinks water using the nozzle 6, the continuous intake of air inside the cup body 1 will decrease, and the external air being greater than the air inside the cup body 1 will generate negative pressure, making it difficult for the user to continuously drink water. Therefore, the air return design can greatly improve the user's drinking experience. And this air return valve 26 is a normally open air return valve, always in an open state, ensuring that the air pressure inside the cup body 1 is always balanced with the outside, which is more beneficial for the user to drink water.

[0034] The bottom of the cup body 1 shown is flat, and the straw 7 can completely contact the bottom of the cup body 1, ensuring that the user can drink up all the water inside the cup body 1.

[0035] On both sides of the cup lid 2 shown, there are handles 31, which facilitate the user to grasp the cup.

[0036] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model, the present utility model can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, it is intended to embrace all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present utility model, and any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
