When the present utility model is in use, the base is operated to tilt backward. At this moment, the opening and closing auxiliary moving part of the opening and closing auxiliary mechanism moves from the front part of the upper cover to the rear part of the upper cover, making the weight of the rear part of the upper cover increase (or making the weight of the rear part of the upper cover greater than the weight of the front part of the upper cover). As a result, the rear part of the upper cover rotates downward around the rotation axis between the upper cover and the base, and the front part of the upper cover rotates upward around the rotation axis between the upper cover and the base to open the liquid outlet; then the base is operated to tilt forward to pour out the liquid. At the same time, the opening and closing auxiliary moving part moves from the rear part of the upper cover to the front part of the upper cover to reset, making the weight of the front part of the upper cover increase or the weight of the front part of the upper cover be the same as the weight of the rear part of the upper cover. When the base is placed upright, the front part of the upper cover will automatically cover the liquid outlet. Therefore, by adopting the present utility model, the upper cover can be automatically opened and closed, which has the characteristics of simple operation, convenient opening, reliable closing, and reasonable design.

[0039] In the present utility model, the front part 21 of the upper cover and the rear part 22 of the upper cover are respectively located on both sides of the rotation axis between the upper cover and the base, and the weights of the front part 21 of the upper cover and the rear part 22 of the upper cover can be configured to be equal.

[0040] The rotation opening angle of the front part 21 of the upper cover of the present utility model relative to the base 1 is about 0 - 90°.

[0041] As Figures 1-13 shown, in order to improve the sealing performance, a sealing member for sealing the liquid outlet 11 is provided on the base 1. In this embodiment, the sealing member is destructively connected to the base. In some other embodiments, the sealing member is movably provided on the base 1, automatically opening the liquid outlet during liquid extraction and automatically blocking the liquid outlet when liquid extraction stops.

[0042] In order to make the front part of the upper cover cover the liquid outlet more reliably, the opening and closing assisting mechanism 3 is configured to be movable relative to the upper cover 2 during the corresponding movement of the base 1 to assist the upper cover 2 to rotate relative to the base 1 correspondingly, so that the front part 21 of the upper cover automatically covers the liquid outlet 11.

[0043] In order to better control the opening and closing of the upper cover, the opening and closing assisting mechanism 3 includes an opening and closing assisting movable member 31 provided on the upper cover 2 and movable correspondingly along the front-back direction of the upper cover 2. Further, the opening and closing assisting movable member 31 is spherical or cylindrical, such as a movable column, a movable bead, etc., which is convenient for moving relative to the upper cover.

[0044] Further, the opening and closing assisting movable member 31 is configured to assist the front part 21 of the upper cover to automatically open the liquid outlet 11 during the movement from the front part 21 to the rear part 22 of the upper cover.

[0045] Further, the opening and closing assisting movable member 31 is also configured to assist the front part 21 of the upper cover to automatically cover the liquid outlet 11 during the movement from the rear part 22 to the front part 21 of the upper cover.

[0046] In order to ensure the smooth movement of the opening and closing assisting movable member along the set direction, the opening and closing assisting mechanism 3 further includes an opening and closing assisting sliding groove 32 provided on the upper cover 2 and extending along the front-back direction of the upper cover 2, and the opening and closing assisting movable member 31 is movably provided in the opening and closing assisting sliding groove 32.
