[0003] This summary of the utility model provides an introduction to some general concepts related to the utility model in a simplified form, which will be further described in the following detailed description. This summary of the utility model is not intended to identify the key features or essential features of the utility model.

[0004] A container assembly with a closed and detachable suction nozzle comprises: a container and a cover covering the container;

[0005] The cover may include a wall defining a recess, a guide groove configured to guide assembly and easy disassembly of the closed and detachable nozzle assembly, a rotation axis concave joint concave surface, a guide groove for receiving the closed and detachable nozzle assembly, and a guide groove for receiving an elastomeric seal;

[0006] The closed detachable suction nozzle assembly includes an elastic positioning bead and a suction nozzle. The suction nozzle is constructed of a suction nozzle body that rotates within the concave joint surface of the large cover rotation axis, a channel for the flow of container contents and a suction nozzle guide, a blind hole for assembling the elastic positioning bead, and a handle, so that the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly can rotate the container contents between an open position for consumption and a sealed position.

[0007] The elastomeric seal is tightly assembled in the large cover, and the detachable nozzle assembly forms a seal when rotated to the sealing position, which is used to seal the contents in the container; when the detachable nozzle assembly is rotated to the open position, the detachable nozzle assembly and the internal contents are connected uninterruptedly, while ensuring the smooth flow of the air path;

[0008] The handle and the closed detachable nozzle assembly with elastically rotating elastic positioning beads are configured to rotate along the concave joint of the rotation axis of the large cover;

[0009] wherein the closed and detachable nozzle assembly is configured to rotate between a closed position of the concave joint surface of the rotation axis concave surface of the large cover and an open position of the concave joint surface of the rotation axis concave surface of the large cover;

[0010] wherein the closed detachable nozzle assembly is configured to be locked in place in the closed position and the open position by elastic compression friction of the rotating concave joint concave surface of the lid, the elastic positioning bead, the nozzle body of the closed detachable nozzle assembly and the elastic seal;

[0011] wherein the large cover further comprises a channel configured to receive the closed and detachable nozzle assembly and the elastomeric seal, and wherein the guide groove limits the lateral movement of the closed and detachable nozzle assembly and allows a range of lateral movement;

[0012] The closed detachable nozzle assembly is configured to be fixed to the large cover and configured such that when in the open position, the user manually pulls out the nozzle guide and handle of the closed detachable nozzle assembly to remove it from the cover through compression of the elastic positioning beads, or manually flips the closed detachable nozzle assembly outward around the axis to remove the nozzle of the closed detachable nozzle assembly from the cover through compression of the elastic positioning beads.

[0013] Wherein, the large cover also includes a channel configured to receive the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly, and wherein the guide groove limits the lateral movement of the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly and allows a range of lateral movement; when the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly is arranged above the channel for receiving the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly, the user can directly press into the concave surface of the rotating shaft concave joint with his hand to lock it, and the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly, the elastomeric seal, and the large cover form a seal. It is also possible to place the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly in an open position and directly insert it into the concave surface of the rotating shaft concave joint of the large cover along the guide groove of the large cover that is configured to guide assembly and easy disassembly of the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly, and then lock it, and then rotate the suction nozzle guide to enter the guide groove of the large cover and lock it in a sealed position;

[0014] The axial compression force of the elastic positioning bead is greater than the normal compression force of the bottom elastomer seal;

[0015] Among them, when in a sealed state, when the internal pressure generated by the contents inside is greater than the external pressure, the presence of the elastic positioning beads allows the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly to be slightly displaced along the axial direction of the large cover through the compression of the elastic positioning beads, so that a gap is formed between the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly and the elastomeric seal to release the excessive pressure generated by the internal contents. When the pressure is released, the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly continues to recover the compression under the action of the axial direction of the elastic positioning beads and the concave surface joint of the rotating axis of the large cover to form a seal;

[0016] Among them, the elastic positioning bead is located in the large cover, and the concave joint of the rotating axis is designed in the suction nozzle.

[0019] Preferably, the large cover includes a wall defining a recess, a guide groove for guiding the assembly and easy disassembly of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly, a concave joint surface of the rotating shaft, and a guide groove for accommodating the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly and an elastomeric seal, which is used to lock the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly in a closed position and an open position, and to keep the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly on the cover.

[0020] Preferably, when the user rotates the concave joint surface of the large cover along the rotation axis and the handle of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly outward to the open position of the cover, the elastic positioning bead, the detachable suction nozzle assembly and the elastomeric seal interact with each other to keep the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly in the open position and prevent it from moving forward freely.

[0021] Preferably, when the user pushes the handle of the closed detachable nozzle assembly along the concave joint surface of the rotation axis of the large cover to rotate inward to the closed position of the cover, the elastic positioning bead, the closed detachable nozzle assembly, the elastomeric seal, the nozzle body of the closed detachable nozzle assembly and the elastic compression of the elastic seal interact to keep the closed detachable nozzle assembly in the closed position and will not move forward freely.

[0022] Preferably, the nozzle body, the rotating shaft body, and the elastic positioning beads are located on the closed detachable nozzle assembly, and at the same time, the rotating shaft concave joint concave surface and the elastomeric seal are on the large cover.

The closed rotating nozzle assembly 150 is configured to rotate between an open position and a closed position to selectively open or close a passage 156 for liquid and a passage 227 for the elastomeric seal 200, while also selectively opening or closing a passage 217 for airflow through the elastomeric seal 200. Figure 1 An isometric view of an exemplary lid assembly 100 is depicted with the enclosed rotating nozzle assembly 150 in Figure 6 The lid 110 may also include a side wall 114 that may define a groove 116 for receiving a gasket that provides a seal between the lid assembly 100 and the container 105. However, as will be discussed below, other sealing methods for sealing the lid 110 to the container 105 are also contemplated, such as threaded connections and elastomeric seals. The lid 110 may also include a rim 118 for engaging the opening 107 of the container 105. The rim 118 may also include a top wall 120 and an optional lid tab 122 extending from the top wall 120 to assist the user in removing the lid assembly 100 from the container 105. Alternatively, a dedicated carrying handle such as Figure 1-1 is also expected. Figure 2 An isometric view of an exemplary lid assembly 100 is depicted with the enclosed rotating nozzle assembly 150 in Figure 6 The upper container 105 is in the closed position. Figure 3 A cross-sectional view illustrating the rotational orientation of the exemplary lid assembly 100 in the closed position. Figure 4 An axial cross-sectional view about the locking axis of the exemplary lid assembly 100 is shown in a closed position. Figure 5The cross-sectional view of the exemplary lid assembly 100 in the open position is depicted, depicting the entire cross-section of the contents in the container 105 flowing from the channel 227 of the elastomeric seal 200 to the channel 156a of the nozzle assembly, and then to the channel 156b of the nozzle assembly. The user inhales the contents of the container 105 through the position of the channel 156b of the nozzle assembly, and the airflow channel 217 of the elastomeric seal 200 is also in an internal and external communication state. Figure 6 The pressure in the upper container 105 is balanced with the external natural atmospheric pressure. Figure 6 An isometric view of an exemplary container 105 for receiving the lid 100 is depicted. Figure 1 The lid 110 may also include a sidewall 114 that may define a groove 116 for receiving a gasket that provides a seal between the lid assembly 100 and the container 105. However, as will be discussed below, other sealing methods for sealing the lid 110 to the container 105 are also contemplated, such as threaded connections and elastomeric seals. The lid 110 may also include a rim 118 for engaging the opening 107 of the container 105. The rim 118 may also include a top wall 120 and an optional lid tab 122 extending from the top wall 120 to assist the user in removing the lid assembly 100 from the container 105. Alternatively, a dedicated carrying handle may be provided.

[0047] Figure 7 An isometric top perspective view of the large lid 110 in the exemplary lid assembly 100 is shown. The closed rotating nozzle assembly 150 and the elastomeric seal 200 are removed. The lid 110 may also include intermediate walls 123a, 124a, 125a, 124b, 123b, 125b extending below the rim 118 and forming the intermediate wall 123.

[0048] The guide grooves 132a and 132b for guiding the assembly and easy disassembly of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly are formed on the intermediate wall 123. The concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft are formed on the intermediate wall 123.

[0049] The guide grooves 132a and 132b and the concave joint surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft are formed by arc surfaces 133a and 133b as smooth transition surfaces;

[0050] The bottom support wall 126 , the support wall 129 and the support wall 127 constitute a bottom integrated support wall 171 .

[0051] Then, the guide groove 111 for accommodating the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 and the elastomeric seal 200 is formed by the middle wall 123, the guide grooves 132a and 132b for disassembling the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly, the concave joint surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft, the arc surfaces 133a and 133b and the bottom support wall 171.

[0052] The guide grooves 132a and 132b and the concave joint surface of the rotating shaft constitute the guide assembly and easy disassembly of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly. Figure 9 and Figure 10 Detailed description in.

[0053] The configuration 128 of the elastomeric seal 200 is constructed in the support wall 171 as shown in FIG. Figure 11 Detailed description is given in .

[0054] The relationship between the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150, the elastomeric seal 200 and the large cover 100 is described. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 16 Whether in the open position or the closed position, the surface of the nozzle body 151 will compress the sealing tongue 221 of the elastomeric seal 200 to form a slight elastic deformation to achieve a sealing effect. The tab or handle 154 is configured to allow the user to selectively push the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 to rotate along the axis 160 to the open position, and achieve a sealing effect by means of the elastic deformation of the sealing tongue 221 of the elastomeric seal 200 to connect the content consumption channel 227 of the elastomeric seal 200 and the channel 156 for the flow of container contents and expose the channel 217 of the elastomeric seal 200, or selectively rotate the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 along the axis 160 to the closed position to cut off the content consumption channel 227 of the elastomeric seal 200 and the channel 156 for the flow of container contents, relying on the closed The positioning beads of the detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 are supported in the concave joint surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft of the cover body 110. With the help of the suction nozzle body 151, the sealing tongue 221 of the elastomeric seal 200 at the same height is compressed to form a slight elastic deformation to achieve a sealing effect. At the same time, the suction nozzle body 151 of the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 and the elastic compression friction of the elastic seal are locked in place. The suction nozzle guide 155 compresses the sealing tongue 211 of the elastomeric seal 200 to cut off the connection between the channel 217 of the elastomeric seal 200 and the outside world, thereby achieving the sealing purpose and helping to prevent the contents of the container from overflowing from the container.

[0055] Figure 8 Shown Figure 1 A top view of the large cover 110 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 of FIG. The wall 123 defining the recess, the guide grooves 132a and 132b constituting the guide grooves 132a and 132b for guiding the assembly and easy disassembly of the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150, the concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft, and the guide groove 111 for accommodating the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the elastomeric seal 200.

[0056] Figure 9 Shown Figure 11 is a transverse cross-sectional view of the large cover 110 in the exemplary cover assembly 100. The figure clearly shows the normal axis position of the concave surface 134a of the rotating shaft concave joint, and the concentric axis 160 of the nozzle body 151 of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150. At the same time, when the elastic positioning beads 180a and 180b are assembled into the blind holes 180c and 180d of the nozzle body 151 of the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150, they are also concentric, ensuring that the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150 can rotate reliably. The rotating shaft concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b present gradually enlarged guide grooves 132a and 132b toward the top surface of the cover 110, which is conducive to guiding the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150 to smoothly enter the rotating shaft concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b from the top surface of the large cover 110. The rotating shaft concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b accommodate the rotating balls 181 of the elastic positioning beads 180a and 180b. It is precisely because the rotating shaft concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b have a certain axial depth that Figure 10 Shown Figure 1 The longitudinal cross-sectional view of the rotating shaft of the large cover 110 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 well expresses this depth relationship and the gradually enlarged guide grooves 132a and 132b assembly guide situation, and the rotating ball 181 that locks the elastic positioning beads 180a and 180b. The designed elastic positioning beads 180a and 180b have a pre-pressure of 5-50N and will not fall off under very small force.

[0057] Figure 11 yes Figure 9 Figure 128 details the configuration of the elastomeric seal 200 within the support wall 171. A support surface 143, a support seat 142, and a retaining plate 141 are formed within the channel to facilitate the insertion of the first portion 220 of the elastomeric seal 200. Furthermore, a support surface 147 and a support seat 146 are formed within the channel to facilitate the insertion of the second portion 210 of the elastomeric seal 200, preventing the first portion 220 of the elastomeric seal 200 from falling out. The third portion 148 is the intermediate connecting portion. Its special-shaped design simultaneously limits the freedom of the first and second portions, thereby improving overall stability.

[0058] Figure 12 Shown Figure 1 The isometric top view of the elastomeric seal 200 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 is divided into three parts. The first part is the content consumption channel, seal, and fixed structure part 220; the second part is the air path channel, seal and fixed structure part 210; the third part is the interconnection part 230 between 210 and 220, the purpose of which is to serve as an integral structural part while limiting the degrees of freedom of the first part and the second part, which is conducive to improving the overall stability.

[0059] Figure 13This is a detailed structural design diagram of the elastomeric seal 200. The core is that the elastomeric seal 200 is stably fixed in the configuration 128 that is installed in the support wall 171. At the same time, the top forms a sealing tongue 221 and a sealing tongue 211 of equal height for sealing. Ensure that the straw can be inserted into the formed area 224 and 226 and can be stably locked to prevent easy detachment, which facilitates the consumption of the contents. The air channel switch is formed at the location of the channel 217 of the elastomeric seal 200. When the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 is in the open and closed positions, the sealing is achieved through the interaction of the closed and detachable suction nozzle assembly 150, the elastomeric seal 200, and the large cover 110. The first section, consisting of the contents consumption channel 227, sealing, and fixing structure 220 and 228 of the elastomeric seal 200, features a concave surface that snaps into the reduced surface 142 of the large lid 100. This supports the upper base 222 upward, ensuring that the sealing tongue 221 maintains a consistent height when assembled in configuration 128 with the large lid 100, thus ensuring product precision. The downward support of sections 224 and 226 of the elastomeric seal stabilizes the dimensions, ensuring that the straw can be inserted and locked securely, preventing it from falling out. Similarly, the second section, consisting of the air passage, sealing, and fixing structure 210, also utilizes a direct press-fit design. The concave surface 218 of the second section, consisting of the air passage, sealing, and fixing structure 220, snaps into the flat surface of the large lid 100, supporting the upper base 219 upward, ensuring that the sealing tongue 221 maintains a consistent height when assembled in configuration 128 with the large lid 100, thus ensuring product precision. The third part is the interconnected part 230 of 210 and 220, which is used as an integral structural member. Because the special shape limits the freedom of the first part and the second part, it is beneficial to improve the overall stability.

[0060] Figure 14 Shown Figure 1 A partial top view of the assembly of the large cover 110 and elastomeric seal 200 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 is shown. The assembly relationship between the elastomeric seal 200 and the configuration 128 of the support wall 171 of the large cover 110, where the elastomeric seal 200 is constructed, is clearly depicted. The top surface 191 of the support wall 171 and the surface 229 of the elastomeric seal 200 coincide at the same height. This also clarifies the assembly accuracy of the elastomeric seal 200, ensuring that the sealing tongues 221 and 211 are formed at the same height for sealing and locking rotation.

[0061] Figure 15 Shown Figure 1FIG1 is a cross-sectional view of the assembly of the large cover 100 and the elastomeric seal 200 in the exemplary cover assembly 100. It can be clearly seen that the top surface 191 of the support wall 171 and the surface 229 of the elastomeric seal 200 coincide with each other at the same height, and the assembly relationship between the elastomeric seal 200 and the configuration 128 of the support wall 171 of the large cover 110 ensures that the sealing tongues 221 and 211 are formed at the same height for sealing, locking and rotation.

Figure 17 Shown Figure 1 An isometric bottom view of the exemplary cover assembly 100 of the enclosed removable nozzle assembly 150. Figure 18 Shown Figure 1 A top view of the enclosed detachable nozzle assembly 150 in the exemplary cover assembly 100. Figure 19 Shown Figure 1 A transverse cross-sectional view of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 in the exemplary cover assembly 100. The closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 includes elastic positioning beads 180a, 180b and a nozzle 168. The nozzle 168 can be constructed into a nozzle body 151 that rotates coaxially 160 with the concave joint surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotation axis of the large cover 110, a channel 156 and a nozzle guide 155 for the flow of container contents, a blind hole 180c / 180d for assembling the elastic positioning beads, and a tab or handle 154 configured for the user to selectively rotate the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 to provide a better user experience. The channel 156 is formed by connecting 156a and 156b. The nozzle body 151 is provided with blind holes 180c / 180d for assembling the elastic positioning beads, which are used to fix the elastic positioning beads 180a, 180b. The nozzle body 151 of the closed and detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the elastic sealing member are elastically compressed and frictionally locked into place in the guide groove 111 of the large cover.

[0063] Figure 20 Shown Figure 1A cross-sectional view of the rotating elastic positioning bead 180 of the enclosed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 in the exemplary cover assembly 100 is shown. The rotating elastic positioning bead mainly consists of three parts, including a shell 183, a rotating ball 181, and a stainless steel spring 182. The elastic positioning bead 157 is a standard part, and the rotating ball 181 is pre-loaded by the stainless steel spring 182, so that the rotating ball 181 can ensure a fixed position in the middle of the shell 183. When the shell 183 is fixed, the rotating ball 181 is squeezed by the squeezing force. The rotating ball 181 will contract and stretch within the elastic range of the stainless steel spring, ensuring that the rotating ball 181 is always in contact with the stainless steel spring 182 and under pressure, so that the axis of the rotating ball 181 is squeezed outward and restored to its original state as much as possible.

[0064] To operate the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150, the user can rotate the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 from the open position to the closed position by grasping the handle 154 alone or simultaneously. The closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 rotates along the rotation axis 160 of the nozzle body 151, and the nozzle body 151 of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the elastic seal 200 and the rotating concave surface of the large cover 110 are elastically compressed and frictionally locked in place, completing the locked seal and helping to prevent the contents of the container from spilling out of the container.

[0065] In addition, for the purpose of cleaning, or if the user does not want the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 to be located on the cover 110, the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 can be selectively removed from the cover 110, and the operating force is within 0.5-50N. In order to remove the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 from the cover 110, the user can grasp the handle 154 on the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 from the lower side of the cover assembly 100, flip the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 to the open position, and directly pull the nozzle guide of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 by hand to be removable from the cover 110 through the ball compression of the elastic positioning bead or directly flip it axially by hand to cause the nozzle of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 to be removable and detached from the cover 110 through the ball compression of the elastic positioning bead, thereby enabling the user to thoroughly clean the cover 110 when the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 is removed from the cover 110.

[0066] Furthermore, to place the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 back onto the lid 110, position the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 near the guide groove of the lid 110 and, along the guide rails 132a and 132b, press the nozzle body 151 and nozzle guide 155 with the thumb. Under the pressure of the thumb and the drive of the guide rails 132a and 132b, the elastic positioning beads 180a and 180b smoothly fall over the arc surfaces 133a and 133b and into the concave joint surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft. The operating force is within 5-50 N. Simultaneously, the elastic compression friction of the nozzle body 151 and the elastic seal of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 locks the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 into place in the guide groove 111 of the large lid. Thus, the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 is held in place on the lid 110.

[0067] When the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 is kept in the closed position, and at the same time the pressure from the liquid acts on the nozzle body 151 and the nozzle guide 155 of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 through the opening and the exhaust hole of the cover 110, the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the large cover 110 are supported in the concave joint concave surfaces 134a and 134b of the rotating shaft by the pre-pressure generated by the pressure of the two elastic positioning beads. The force direction of the elastic positioning beads between the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the cover 110 and the direction of the pressure from the filling container being inverted are normal directions. Therefore, the force of the elastic positioning beads between the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 and the cover 110 can more easily withstand the force from the pressure of the filling container being inverted. In this way, Figure 2 In the example, the force generated by the interaction of the two elastic positioning beads can be at or between 5N and 50N. In addition, the pre-stressed elastic tension can be constructed so that the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 will shrink slightly due to excessive internal air pressure in the case of heat and / or pressurized liquid, and will eventually squeeze outward to open the compression between the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 and the elastomeric seal 200 to allow ventilation. This is desirable as opposed to a completely sealed non-vented / leaking cap or press-fit cap on the container because when a highly pressurized liquid is encountered, the press-fit cap can be made less likely to completely detach from the container and the pressure generated by the highly pressurized liquid inside can be relieved. In Figure 2In an example, the retaining force provided by the elastic retaining beads on the lid can be configured to be less than the retaining force of the gasket between the lid and the container. For example, the lid 110 can be retained on the container by a first force, and the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 can be retained on the lid 110 by a second force, and the first force can be greater than the second force, so that the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 will be released from the lid 110 before the lid assembly 100 is released from the container. In this way, the retaining force provided by the elastic retaining beads on the lid 110 can be less than the retaining force of the gasket between the lid 100 and the container, so that the closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150 will vent before the gasket, thereby preventing the container from quickly overflowing.

[0068] Additionally, the surface roughness of the frictional area of ​​the elastomeric seal 200 that interacts with the closed, detachable nozzle assembly 150 can be adjusted based on the amount of feedback desired by the user. For example, the frictional surface roughness of the elastomeric seal 200 that interacts with the closed, detachable nozzle assembly 150 can be reduced to allow the user to easily rotate the closed, detachable nozzle assembly 150 from a closed position to an open position and vice versa during use of the product.

[0069] The closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 may also include a channel, and when the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 is in the open position, the channel may be configured to be substantially aligned with the vent. The closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 may also include a first side wall of the large cover 110 and a second side wall of the large cover 110 that continue to form a vent channel. Ensure that the entire air path is unobstructed. And when the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 is in the closed position, the reverse structure 162 and the reverse structure 163 of the closed detachable nozzle assembly 150 just seal the content channel 227 and the vent 217. This helps prevent the contents of the container from overflowing from the container and the air pressure balance.

[0070] It is also contemplated that the concave joint surface of the rotation axis of the cover and the nozzle assembly including the elastic positioning beads may also be designed in reverse.

[0071] The present invention has been described above with reference to various examples and in the accompanying drawings. However, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide examples of the various features and concepts related to the present invention, not to limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the relevant art will recognize that many variations and modifications may be made to the above examples without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0072] Molding process and assembly method:

[0073] To form a large cover, the cover 110 may be formed using an injection molding process, wherein the cover body 110A may be injection molded using a single shot of polymer material.

[0074] To form the nozzle piece, the nozzle 168 may be formed using an injection molding process, wherein the nozzle 168 may be injection molded using a single shot of polymer material.

[0075] To form the elastomeric seal 200 , the elastomeric seal 200 may be formed or compression molded using an injection molding process, wherein the elastomeric seal 200 may be injection molded or compression molded using a single shot of an elastomeric polymer material.

[0076] In order to form a closed detachable suction nozzle assembly 150, the suction nozzle 168 and the elastic rotating elastic positioning bead are pressed in through interference fit. The interference fit can ensure that the small cover and the elastic rotating elastic positioning bead assembly can withstand 3,000 repeated impact tests from high temperature 80 degrees Celsius to low temperature -30 degrees Celsius without falling off.
