[0008] The covering component is mounted on the container body via a connecting seat. When the cover is locked by the pressing member and the through-hole is closed, even if the pressing member is accidentally touched and squeezed, the pressing member is restricted by the limiting member and will not move, which can effectively avoid leakage caused by accidental touching. When the through-hole needs to be opened, the limiting member is moved to an avoidance state by sliding the limiting member, allowing the pressing member to slide. Then, the pressing member is pressed to release the cover, and the through-hole can be opened by opening the cover. At this time, the limiting member is released, and it can automatically reset to the limited state to limit the movement of the limited pressing member. When the through-hole needs to be closed, the cover can be locked to the connecting seat by pressing the cover. The covering component can prevent the pressing member from being accidentally touched and squeezed, is easy to operate, and is conducive to improving the user experience of the storage container.

[0009] The technical solution of the present disclosure is further described below:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly understood, the present disclosure is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present disclosure and do not limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the art of the present disclosure. The terms used herein in the specification of the present disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0049] With the improvement of production level, people have higher and higher requirements for storage containers such as water cups. At present, there are many types and brands of storage containers, which makes consumers have many choices. How to win the favor of consumers and improve product competitiveness has become an issue that storage container manufacturers are paying more and more attention to.

[0050] Currently, most storage containers on the market use rotating or flip-top lids to open or close the container. In related art, during use, the pressing member of a flip-top lid can be easily accidentally pressed and squeezed, causing the lid to accidentally open and leak material (e.g., liquid). This is not conducive to improving the user experience of the storage container.

[0051] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a covering component that can prevent the pressing member from being accidentally touched and squeezed, is easy to operate, and is conducive to improving the user experience of the storage container.

[0052] In order to better understand the covering component of the present disclosure, it is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a covering component 10 is provided, comprising a connecting base 100, a cover body 200 and a locking assembly 300. The connecting base 100 is provided with a through hole 110. The cover body 200 is rotatably connected to the connecting base 100 to open or close the through hole 110. The locking assembly 300 is arranged on the connecting base 100. The locking assembly 300 includes a pressing member 310 and a limiting member 320. The pressing member 310 is slidably connected to the connecting base 100 to lock or release the cover body 200. The limiting member 320 is movably arranged on one of the connecting base 100 and the pressing member 310, and can be switched between a limited state and an avoidance state, and the limiting member 320 can automatically reset to the limited state. When the limiting member 320 is in the limited state, the limiting member 320 cooperates with the other limiting member to limit the movement of the pressing member 310. When the limiting member 320 is in the avoiding state, the limiting member 320 is loosely matched with the other limiting member 320 so that the pressing member 310 can slide.

[0054] The covering member 10 is mounted on the container body 20 via the connecting seat 100. When the cover 200 is locked by the pressing member 310 and the through hole 110 is closed, even if the pressing member 310 is accidentally touched and squeezed, the pressing member 310 is restricted by the limiting member 320 and will not move, which can effectively avoid the problem of leakage caused by accidental touching. When the through hole 110 needs to be opened, the limiting member 320 is slid so that the limiting member 320 moves to the avoidance state. At this time, there is a gap between the limiting member 320 and the other, providing travel space for the movement of the pressing member 310, allowing the pressing member 310 to slide. Then, the pressing member 310 is pressed to release the cover 200, and the through hole 110 can be opened by opening the cover 200. At this time, the limiting member 320 is released, and it can automatically reset to the limited state to limit the movement of the limited pressing member 310. When the through hole 110 needs to be closed, the cover 200 can be locked on the connecting base 100 by pressing the cover 200. The covering component 10 can prevent the pressing member 310 from being accidentally touched and squeezed, is easy to operate, and is conducive to improving the user experience of the storage container 1.

[0055] It should be noted that "automatic reset" includes but is not limited to elastic reset, magnetic reset, etc.

[0056] like Figures 2 to 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting member 320 is slidably connected to the pressing member 310, and the limiting member 320 is provided with a limiting protrusion 321. When the limiting member 320 is in the limiting state, the limiting protrusion 321 and the connecting seat 100 are limited and engaged to limit the movement of the pressing member 310. When the limiting member 320 is in the avoidance state, the limiting protrusion 321 and the connecting seat 100 are loosely engaged to allow the pressing member 310 to slide. In this way, the limiting member 320 is slidably arranged on the pressing member 310, the limiting member 320 can be slid to the avoidance state, and then the limiting member 320 can be pressed to release the cover 200 by pressing the pressing member 310, which is convenient for operation. The provision of the limiting protrusion 321 facilitates the change of the position of the limiting protrusion 321 by moving the limiting member 320. Consequently, when the limiting member 320 is in the limiting position, the limiting protrusion 321 engages with the connecting seat 100 to limit the movement of the pressing member 310. When the limiting member 320 is in the avoiding position, the limiting protrusion 321 engages with the connecting seat 100 with a clearance, allowing the pressing member 310 to slide, making it easy to implement.

[0057] In addition, the limiting member 320 is integrated into the pressing member 310 , which also makes the structure of the covering member 10 more compact.

[0058] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the pressing member 310 is provided with a first guide groove 311, and the limiting member 320 includes a force-applying body 322 slidably arranged on the pressing member 310. The limiting protrusion 321 is fixed to the force-applying body 322 and slides with the first guide groove 311. Part of the limiting protrusion 321 passes through the first guide groove 311 and is arranged toward the connecting seat 100. In this way, the limiting protrusion 321 is fixed to the force-applying body 322 and slides with the first guide groove 311, which facilitates the sliding fit between the limiting member 320 and the pressing member 310. At the same time, by passing the limiting protrusion 321 through the first guide groove 311 and being arranged toward the connecting seat 100, it is convenient for the limiting protrusion 321 to have a limited fit or a clearance fit with the connecting seat 100.

[0059] In addition, the limiting convex body 321 is used to achieve limiting cooperation and sliding cooperation between the limiting member 320 and the pressing member 310 , which is beneficial to reducing the number of matching components, reducing the assembly process, and reducing the cost of the covering component 10 .

[0060] like Figures 2 to 5 as well as Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the pressing member 310 includes a pressing body 312, and a first guide groove 311 is provided through the pressing body 312. This facilitates the use of the pressing body 312 to support the force-applying body 322 and also serves as a limiter. The locking assembly 300 also includes a slider 330 and a first elastic member 340. The slider 330 is slidably connected to the connecting base 100 and has a push-bevel surface 331 facing the limiter protrusion 321. The first elastic member 340 is provided between the slider 330 and the connecting base 100 to push the limiter 320 back to the limit position via the push-bevel surface 331. In this way, by arranging the first elastic member 340 between the slider 330 and the connecting seat 100, it is convenient to use the slider 330 to push the limiting protrusion 321, and the elastic reset force of the first elastic member 340 is converted into a driving force for the limiting member 320 to move toward the limiting state by using the pushing inclined surface 331 and the limiting protrusion 321, thereby realizing the reset of the limiting member 320 to the limiting state.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 5 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 300 includes a roller 350 movably mounted on the limiting protrusion 321, with the roller 350 spaced apart from the force-applying body 322. At least a portion of the roller 350 is offset from the first guide groove 311 and engages in rolling engagement with the pressing body 312 and the inclined push surface 331. Thus, the rolling engagement of the roller 350 and the inclined push surface 331 effectively reduces friction and reduces wear on the limiting protrusion 321. Furthermore, the sliding engagement of the roller 350 and the pressing body 312 effectively reduces friction, facilitating the return of the limiting member 320 to its limited position.

[0062] In addition, the roller 350 is spaced apart from the force-applying body 322 , making it easy to be arranged on two opposite sides of the pressing body 312 and to cooperate with each other in limiting positions, thereby reducing limiting components, making the structure of the locking assembly 300 more streamlined, and reducing the cost of the covering component 10 .

[0063] It should be noted that there are many ways to implement the roller 350 rotatably disposed on the limiting protrusion 321, including but not limited to a shaft connection, a shaft body and a rotation hole. For example, one of the roller 350 or the limiting protrusion 321 is provided with a shaft body, and the other is provided with a rotation hole that cooperates with the shaft body.

[0064] Alternatively, as Figures 2 to 5 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, at least two position-limiting protrusions 321 are provided, spaced apart from the force-applying body 322. The position-limiting member 320 further includes a rotating shaft 360 disposed between two adjacent position-limiting protrusions 321, with the roller 350 connected to the rotating shaft 360. Thus, the rotating shaft 360 is utilized to achieve the rotational connection between the roller 350 and the position-limiting protrusions 321, making installation simple and easy to implement.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the slider 330 has a first limiting surface 332 adjacent to the resisting inclined surface 331, and the pressing member 310 has a second limiting surface 313 that cooperates with the first limiting surface 332 to form a limiting recess 303. When the roller 350 is in a limiting engagement with the limiting recess 303, the limiting member 320 is locked in a retracted position. When the roller 350 is separated from the limiting recess 303, the limiting member 320 automatically returns to the restricted position. This lock of the limiting member 320 in the retracted position facilitates the operation of the pressing member 310, making it easier for users to use the pressing member 310 on a desktop or other surface where accidental touches are less likely.

[0066] It is understandable that the roller 350 is engaged with the limiting recess 303, and its damping is increased, which can offset the reset force and fix it in the avoidance state. When it is necessary to leave this state, the user needs to apply additional force to separate the roller 350 from the limiting recess 303, so that the limiting member 320 can be reset to the limited state.

[0067] At least one of the first limiting surface 332 and the second limiting surface 313 has a concave surface.

[0068] It should be noted that the pressing member 310 and the cover body 200 can be matched in a conventional manner, including but not limited to the matching of the elastic hook and the buckle 301 , plug-in matching, etc.

[0069] In combination with any of the above embodiments of the pressing body 312, as Figures 3 to 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover 200 is provided with a latch portion 210, and the pressing member 310 further includes a locking tongue 314. The locking tongue 314 is fixedly connected to the pressing body 312 and forms a groove 302 for the latch portion 210 to enter and exit. The locking tongue 314 is provided with a buckle portion 301 that cooperates with the latch portion 210. When the pressing member 310 locks the cover 200, the latch portion 210 is inserted into the groove 302 and snap-fits with the buckle portion 301. When the pressing member 310 releases the cover 200, the latch portion 210 separates from the buckle portion 301. In this way, the locking tongue 314 cooperates with the pressing body 312 to easily form the groove 302. This allows the pressing member 310 to lock the cover 200, the latch portion 210 to be inserted into the groove 302 and snap-fits with the buckle portion 301, making it easy to achieve a locked fit between the cover 200 and the pressing member 310. When the pressing member 310 releases the cover 200 , the locking portion 210 and the buckle portion 301 are separated, making it easier to release the cover 200 .

[0070] It should be noted that the specific structures of the latch portion 210 and the buckle portion 301 can be various, as long as they can meet the requirements of locking and releasing the cover 200 and the lock tongue 314. For example, the latch portion 210 has a hook, and the buckle portion 301 has an inverted buckle (for example, in the shape of an inverted hook) that engages with the hook.

[0071] Optionally, at least one of the clamping portion 210 and the buckle portion 301 is provided with a guide surface to facilitate the buckling fit between the two.

[0072] Optionally, at least one of the clamping portion 210 and the buckle portion 301 is particularly elastic and can be snap-fitted with the other through elastic deformation of the introduction surface.

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting base 100 includes a base 120 rotatably connected to the cover 200 and a mating protrusion 130 disposed on the base 120. The base 120 is provided with a through hole 110. When the stopper 320 is in the restricted state, the limiting protrusion 321 engages with the mating protrusion 130 to restrict the movement of the pressing member 310. When the stopper 320 is in the avoidance state, the limiting protrusion 321 separates from the mating protrusion 130, allowing the pressing member 310 to slide. Thus, by providing the mating protrusion 130, it is easy to engage with the limiting protrusion 321 to restrict the movement of the pressing member 310. When the mating protrusion 130 separates from the limiting protrusion 321, a gap is formed between the limiting protrusion 321 and the connecting base 100 to avoid the pressing member 310, allowing the pressing member 310 to move relative to the connecting base 100.

[0074] like Figures 8 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the connection base 100 is provided with a mounting cavity 140, and a portion of the pressing member 310 is disposed in the mounting cavity 140 and is slidably connected to the connection base 100. In this way, using the mounting cavity 140 to accommodate the pressing member 310 is beneficial for protecting the locking assembly 300 and improving locking reliability.

[0075] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, in some embodiments, one of the connecting base 100 and the pressing member 310 is provided with a second guide groove 315, and the other is provided with a guide member 150. The second guide groove 315 cooperates with the guide member 150 to limit the pressing stroke of the pressing member 310. In this way, the guiding cooperation between the second guide groove 315 and the guide member 150 allows the pressing member 310 to move smoothly on the connecting base 100. It moves along the trajectory formed by the second guide groove 315, which can limit the pressing stroke of the pressing member 310 and prevent overpressure and separation of the pressing member 310 from the connecting base 100.

[0076] Alternatively, as Figures 3 to 5 、 Figure 10 as well as Figure 11As shown, in one example, the guide member 150 comprises a guide rod fixed to the connector 100, and a first guide groove 311 is provided in the pressing member 310. When the pressing member 310 is locked with the cover 200, the pressing member 310 engages with the sidewall of the first guide groove 311. Thus, by inserting the guide rod into the first guide groove 311, the pressing travel of the pressing member 310 is limited, preventing the pressing member 310 from separating from the connector 100. This is easy to implement and assemble.

[0077] like Figures 3 to 5 、 Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 In some embodiments shown, the pressing member 310 can automatically reset to a locked state to lock the cover 200, thereby improving the user experience.

[0078] Optionally, in one example, the locking assembly 300 includes a first elastic return member, which is disposed between the pressing member 310 and the connecting seat 100 so that the pressing member 310 can be elastically returned to the locked state.

[0079] The first elastic return member includes a spring, a rubber column, a spring piece, etc.

[0080] like Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover 200 can be reset to open the through hole 110. This facilitates the automatic opening of the cover 200 and improves the user experience.

[0081] Optionally, in one example, the covering component 10 further includes a second elastic return member 400 , which is disposed between the cover body 200 and the connecting seat 100 , so that the cover body 200 can be elastically returned to open the through hole 110 .

[0082] The second elastic reset member 400 includes a torsion spring, a spring, etc., which can realize the rotational reset of the cover body 200.

[0083] For example, Figure 11 As shown, the cover body 200 and the connecting shaft 500 are rotatably connected through the connecting shaft 500 , and the torsion spring is sleeved on the connecting shaft 500 .

[0084] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 300 further includes a second elastic member 380. The second elastic member 380 is disposed within the first guide groove 311 and abuts between the limiting protrusion 321 and the pressing member 310 to elastically reset the limiting member 320 to the limited position. Thus, the second elastic member 380 is disposed within the first guide groove 311 and abuts between the limiting protrusion 321 and the pressing member 310, facilitating the direct application of an elastic restoring force to the limiting member 320, allowing the limiting member 320 to be reset to the limited position under the action of the elastic restoring force.

[0085] like Figure 13As shown, in some embodiments, one of the limiting member 320 and the pressing member 310 is provided with a magnetic member 304, and the other is provided with a matching member 305. The magnetic member 304 and the matching member 305 are magnetically engaged or magnetically repelled to automatically reset the limiting member 320 to the limited position. In this way, the magnetic member 304 and the matching member 305 are magnetically engaged or magnetically repelled to generate a magnetic attraction force or a magnetic repulsion force acting on the limiting member 320, so that the limiting member 320 can be reset to the limited position.

[0086] The magnetic component 304 includes a magnet, and the matching component 305 includes an iron sheet that is magnetically matched with the magnet.

[0087] Alternatively, the magnetic member 304 includes a first magnet, and the matching member 305 includes a second magnet that is magnetically matched with the first magnet.

[0088] Alternatively, the magnetic member 304 includes a first magnet, and the matching member 305 includes a third magnet that magnetically repel and matches the first magnet.

[0089] Optionally, the magnetic component 304 is fixed to the limiting component 320 , and the matching component 305 is fixed to the limiting component 320 .

[0090] It should be noted that the "lock tongue 314" can be "a part of the pressing member 310", that is, the "lock tongue 314" and the "other parts of the pressing member 310, such as the pressing body 312" are manufactured as one piece; it can also be an independent component that can be separated from the "other parts of the pressing member 310, such as the pressing body 312", that is, the "lock tongue 314" can be manufactured independently and then combined with the "other parts of the pressing member 310, such as the pressing body 312" into a whole.

[0091] Equivalently, a "certain body" or "certain part" can be a part of a corresponding "component", that is, the "certain body" or "certain part" is integrally formed and manufactured with the "other parts of the component"; or it can be an independent component that is separable from the "other parts of the component", that is, the "certain body" or "certain part" can be independently manufactured and then combined with the "other parts of the component" to form a whole. The expression of the above-mentioned "certain body" or "certain part" in this disclosure is only one embodiment, for the convenience of reading, and not to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. As long as it contains the above-mentioned features and has the same function, it should be understood as an equivalent technical solution of this disclosure.

[0092] It should be noted that the "slider 330" can be one of the parts of the "locking component 300" module, that is, it can be assembled into a module with the "other components of the locking component 300" and then modularly assembled; it can also be relatively independent of the "other components of the locking component 300" and can be installed separately, that is, it can form a whole with the "other components of the locking component 300" in this device.

[0093] Equivalently, the components included in the "units," "assemblies," "mechanisms," and "devices" of the present disclosure can also be flexibly combined. They can be modularly produced according to actual conditions and modularly assembled as an independent module; or they can be assembled separately to form a module in the present device. The division of the above components in the present disclosure is only one embodiment, for the convenience of reading, and not to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure. As long as the above components are included and have the same functions, it should be understood that they are equivalent technical solutions of the present disclosure.

[0094] like Figure 14 As shown, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a storage container 1 is provided, comprising a container body 20 and a covering component 10 in any of the above embodiments, and a connecting seat 100 is connected to the container body 20 so that the through hole 110 is connected to the container body 20.

[0095] When the storage container 1 is in use, liquids and / or solids are stored in the container body 20, and the lid 200 is locked with the locking assembly 300, thereby closing the through-hole 110. Even if the pressing member 310 is accidentally touched and squeezed, the pressing member 310 is restrained by the stopper 320 and will not move, effectively preventing leakage caused by accidental touching. When the through-hole 110 needs to be opened, the stopper 320 is slid, causing it to move to a clear position, allowing the pressing member 310 to slide. The pressing member 310 is then pressed to release the lid 200, and the through-hole 110 is opened by opening the lid 200. At this point, if the stopper 320 is released, it automatically resets to the limited position, restricting the movement of the limited pressing member 310, making operation simple. When the through-hole 110 needs to be closed, the lid 200 is pressed to lock it to the connector 100. In this way, when the user uses the storage container 1 , the pressing member 310 can be prevented from being accidentally pressed and operated, and the operation is convenient, which is conducive to improving the user experience of the storage container 1 .

[0096] It should be noted that “the connection between the connection seat and the container body” includes detachable fixed connections, such as threaded connections, snap connections, etc. It also includes non-detachable fixed connections, such as integral molding fixation, etc.

[0097] The storage container includes but is not limited to cups, buckets, bottles, etc.

[0098] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation to the present disclosure.

[0099] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. Throughout the present disclosure, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0100] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "installed," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this disclosure based on specific circumstances.

[0101] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, when a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, when a first feature is "above," "above," or "above" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. When a first feature is "below," "below," or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.

[0102] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed on", "set on", "fixed on" or "installed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. Furthermore, when an element is considered to be "fixed transmission connected" to another element, the two may be fixed in a detachable connection manner or in a non-detachable connection manner, as long as power transmission can be achieved, such as socketing, snap-fitting, integral molding fixation, welding, etc., which can be achieved in traditional technologies and will not be repeated here. When an element is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to another element, it means that the ideal state of the two is vertical, but due to the influence of manufacturing and assembly, there may be a certain vertical error. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0103] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0104] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present disclosure, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the utility model concept of the present disclosure, and these modifications and improvements are all within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
