[0033] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1-7 , a cup lid 100 with a retractable straw, comprising: a cup lid body 101, a first slider 102, a first rack 103, a driving ring 104, a first gear 105, a straw 106, a transmission column 107, a guiding ring 108, a flip cover 109 and a pushing block 110. The cup lid body 101 has a sipping opening 101a. The first slider 102 is horizontally slidably connected to the cup lid body 101. Specifically, the cup lid body 101 is provided with a first chute 101b extending along the length direction of the first slider 102, and the first slider 102 moves along the first chute 101b. The cup lid body 101 includes a through hole 101c for the lifting of the straw 106. The cup lid body 101 includes a groove 101d, one end of the flip cover 109 is rotatably connected to the cup lid body 101, and the other end is snap-fitted with the groove 101d. The flip cover 109 includes a first clearance groove 109a for the movement of the pushing block 110.

[0035] The first rack 103 is fixedly connected to the first slider 102. The pushing block 110 is located at the upper end of the first slider 102, and the first rack 103 is displaced at the lower end of the first slider 102. The driving ring 104 is rotatably connected to the cup lid body 101. The first gear 105 is fixedly sleeved on the driving ring 104 and is meshed with the first rack 103. The straw 106 is movably inserted into the driving ring 104. The transmission column 107 is fixedly connected to the straw 106. There are two transmission columns 107, respectively located on both sides of the straw 106. The guiding ring 108 is sleeved on the driving ring 104 and is fixedly connected to the end cover body. The guiding ring 108 is provided with an L-shaped connecting block, and the guiding ring 108 is fixedly connected to the cup lid body 101 through the L-shaped connecting block. The pushing block 110 is fixedly connected to the first slider 102.

[0036] Among them, the driving ring 104 includes a first guiding portion, the guiding ring 108 includes a second guiding portion, the transmission column 107 sequentially passes through the first guiding portion and the second guiding portion, and is guided by the first guiding portion and the second guiding portion. Specifically, the first guiding portion includes a first guiding groove 104a and a second guiding groove 104b. The first guiding groove 104a extends along the circumferential direction of the driving ring 104, the second guiding groove 104b extends along the axial direction of the driving ring 104, and the first guiding groove 104a and the second guiding groove 104b communicate with each other. The second guiding portion is a third guiding groove 108a, and the third guiding groove 108a extends along the radial and axial directions of the guiding ring 108. After the straw 106 finishes drinking water, the push block 110 is pushed. The movement of the push block 110 drives the movement of the first slider 102. The movement of the first slider 102 drives the movement of the first rack 103. The movement of the first rack 103 drives the rotation of the first gear 105. The rotation of the first gear 105 drives the rotation of the driving ring 104. Under the action of the second guiding groove 104b and the third guiding groove 108a, the transmission column 107 moves from the uppermost end of the third guiding groove 108a to the lowermost end, so that the straw 106 first retracts into the cup lid. Then, the push block 110 continues to drive the rotation of the driving ring 104. Under the action of the first guiding groove 104a, the transmission column 107 moves into the first guiding groove 104a, so that the straw 106 stops descending. At the same time, the push block 110 can continue to move above the straw 106, thereby protecting the straw 106 from dust pollution. At the same time, the push block 110 can seal the straw 106 to prevent the water in the straw 106 from leaking out of the straw 106 when the cup is tilted.

[0037] Workflow: When it is necessary to suck with the straw 106, the push block 110 is pushed. The movement of the push block 110 drives the movement of the first slider 102. The movement of the first slider 102 drives the movement of the first rack 103. The movement of the first rack 103 drives the rotation of the first gear 105. The rotation of the first gear 105 drives the rotation of the driving ring 104. The rotation of the driving ring 104 first causes the transmission column 107 to move from the first guiding groove 104a to the second guiding groove 104b, and then the transmission column 107 moves to the upper end of the second guiding groove 104b through the second guiding groove 104b and the third guiding groove 108a, thereby driving the straw 106 to extend out of the through hole 101c (refer to Figure 7 ), and then the straw 106 can be used for sucking.

[0038] After the water in the straw 106 is consumed, the push block 110 is pushed. The movement of the push block 110 drives the movement of the first slider 102. The movement of the first slider 102 drives the movement of the first rack 103. The movement of the first rack 103 drives the rotation of the first gear 105. The rotation of the first gear 105 drives the rotation of the drive ring 104. Under the action of the second guide groove 104b and the third guide groove 108a, the transmission column 107 will move from the uppermost end of the third guide groove 108a to the lowermost end, so that the straw 106 first retracts into the cup lid. Then, the push block 110 continues to drive the drive ring 104 to rotate. Under the action of the first guide groove 104a, the transmission column 107 will move into the first guide groove 104a, so that the straw 106 stops descending. At the same time, the push block 110 can continue to move above the straw 106, thereby protecting the straw 106 from dust pollution. At the same time, the push block 110 can seal the straw 106 to prevent the water in the straw 106 from leaking out when the cup is tilted. At the same time, the flip cover 109 can be rotated, and one can drink directly through the direct drinking port 101a. After drinking, the flip cover 109 can be rotated to the groove 101d so that the flip cover 109 is engaged with the cup lid body 101, thereby closing the direct drinking port 101a. One can choose two drinking methods: direct drinking or using the straw 106.

[0039] The above description is only some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and an explanation of the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features. At the same time, it should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above inventive concept. For example, the technical solutions formed by mutually replacing the above features with the technical features (but not limited to) disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure that have similar functions.
