It should be noted that the following are only certain specific implementations of the present invention, which are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention. The specific and direct description of the relevant structures is only for the convenience of understanding the present invention, and the specific features do not necessarily or directly limit the scope of implementation of the present invention.

[0033] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cup with a handle and a flip-top lid, comprising a cup assembly 1, a straw assembly 2, and a cup lid assembly 3 movably connected to the cup assembly 1. The cup lid assembly 3 is provided with at least one handle portion 301. The straw assembly 2 is at least partially located in the liquid storage cavity 101 of the cup assembly 1 and at least partially extends outside the liquid storage cavity 101. The cup lid assembly 3 includes a sealing portion 302.

[0034] When the sealing portion 302 is in the first state, the straw assembly 2 is confined between the first sealing surface 3071 and the outer wall of the cup assembly 1, so that the straw assembly 2 is deformed and the channel 201 in the straw assembly 2 is blocked.

[0035] When the sealing portion 302 is in the second state, the straw assembly 2 is expanded by its own elastic force to open the channel 201 .

[0036] The first state is a non-conducting state of the straw assembly 2 , and the second state is a conducting state of the straw assembly 2 .

[0037] It also includes a first sealing surface 3071. When the sealing portion 302 is in the first state, the straw assembly 2 is bent and abuts against the inner wall of the channel 201 at the bend to close the straw assembly 2. The first sealing surface 3071 is formed at the bend.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the cup cover assembly 3 includes a cup cover base 303 and at least one annular member 304 installed on the cup cover base 303 , and the annular member 304 is provided with at least one through channel 3041 to form a handle portion 301 , and the sealing portion 302 is provided on the cup cover base 303 .

[0039] Through the above technical solution, the utility model integrates the lid 103 and the handle 301 into one body, which is full of design sense, and combines the two functions into one device, which simplifies the cup components and facilitates mass production.

[0040] The sealing portion 302 and the annular member 304 are respectively arranged on both sides of the cup cover body.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the cup cover assembly 3 and the cup assembly 1 are hinged via a rotating shaft 305 , and the cup cover assembly 3 and the cup assembly 1 are connected via a locking structure to control the opening and closing of the cup cover assembly 3 .

[0042] Preferably, the locking structure includes a movable locking tongue 401 which is respectively provided on the cup cover assembly 3 and the cup assembly 1, and a limiting portion 402 which cooperates with the movable locking tongue 401. The movable locking tongue 401 is connected to a return spring 403 so that the return spring 403 is compressed when the movable locking tongue 401 is subjected to force, and the movable locking tongue 401 is separated from the limiting portion 402 to realize the opening of the cup cover assembly 3; the return spring 403 is expanded to make the movable locking tongue 401 at least partially contact the limiting portion 402 to realize the closing of the cup cover assembly 3.

The mounting lock tongue includes a limiting hook 405 and a pressing portion 404 that cooperate with the limiting portion 402.

[0044] The sealing portion 302 includes at least one first sealing element 3021. When the sealing portion 302 is in a first state, the first sealing element 3021 contacts the straw assembly 2, causing the straw assembly 2 to deform and mate with the inner wall of the channel 201, thereby closing the channel 201. The sealing portion 302 also includes a second sealing surface 3072 formed on the inner wall of the channel 201 at the first sealing element 3021.

[0045] Preferably, the cup assembly 1 is configured with at least one second sealing member 3022. This second sealing member 3022 contacts the straw assembly 2, allowing deformation of the straw assembly 2 to contact the inner wall of the channel 201, thereby closing the channel 201. The first sealing member 3021 defines a sealing groove 30211, with a stopper 30212 formed on at least one side of the sealing groove 30211. The highest point of the second sealing member 3022 is higher than the bottom surface of the sealing groove 30211. The stopper formed between the two stoppers 30212 restricts movement of the straw assembly 2.

[0046] The device further includes a third sealing surface 3073 , which is formed on the inner wall of the channel 201 at the second sealing member 3022 .

[0047] Through the above technical solution, the first sealing member 3021 and the second sealing member 3022 can increase the sealing performance of the water cup of the present invention and prevent liquid from leaking.

[0048] The cover 103 is further provided with a pressure relief hole 501 , and a one-way valve 502 is disposed at the pressure relief hole 501 .

The cup body 102 and lid 103 are threadedly connected, with a sealing ring 104 disposed therebetween; alternatively, the cup body 102 and lid 103 are snap-fitted together. The space between the cup body 102 and lid 103 forms a liquid storage chamber 101.

[0050] Preferably, a first limiting portion 1031 is provided on the lid 103, and a second limiting portion 1021 is provided on the cup body 102. A hanger 105 is arranged between the first limiting portion 1031 and the second limiting portion 1021, and at least one through-hole 1051 is provided on the hanger 105 to cooperate with the installation of a hanging rope; the outer cover of the cup body 102 is provided with a protective piece 106, and the bottom of the protective piece 106 can be made of silicone material, which can be anti-slip; a stepped through-hole 107 is provided on the lid 103, and the straw assembly 2 is fitted to pass through the stepped through-hole 107, and the hanging rope can be used to carry the utility model for movement, which is convenient to carry.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment, the straw assembly 2 includes a first tube 202 that mates with the cup assembly 1 and a second tube 203 connected to the first tube 202. The first tube 202 is at least partially made of an elastic material. The outer wall of the first tube 202 is provided with a stepped surface 204 that mates with the stepped perforation 107. The second tube 203 can be rigid and inserted into the bottom of the first tube 202.

[0052] A mounting recess 108 is provided downwardly on the top of the cover 103 , and hinge recesses 109 are provided on both side walls of the mounting recess 108 .
