[0046] In a specific embodiment, when the cup lid needs to be locked on the cup mouth, the locking plate 50 is pushed to slide along the limiting sliding hole 21, so that the locking protrusion 51 vertically provided on the plate surface of one end of the locking plate 50 abuts against the matching protrusion 11 provided on the end surface of the inner cover body 10, see Figure 12 As shown in the middle enlarged figure, since the locking plate 50 is clamped on the handle outer cover 20, the handle outer cover 20 is limited to slide along the axial direction of the inner cover body 10, preventing the handle outer cover 20 from sliding along the axial direction of the inner cover body 10, thereby locking the entire cup lid and preventing it from being opened at will.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, when the cup cover needs to be opened at the cup opening, the locking plate 50 is pushed to slide along the limiting sliding hole 21. Figure 12 and Figure 16As shown, the locking protrusion 51 vertically provided on the plate surface at one end of the locking plate 50 is separated from the matching protrusion 11 provided on the end surface of the inner cover body 10. Since the locking plate 50 is clamped on the handle outer cover 20, the handle outer cover 20 can be pressed so that the handle outer cover 20 can slide along the axial direction of the inner cover body 10. Figure 16 As shown, the catch 31 can be driven to separate from the cup mouth, thereby realizing the separation of the cup cover and the cup mouth.

[0048] In one embodiment, a sliding mounting position 12 is provided in the circumferential direction of one end of the inner cover body 10, and the catch 31 is slidably installed on the sliding mounting position 12. A first spring 13 is provided on the sliding mounting position 12.

A notch is provided at the end of the catch 31 extending out of the opening. The first spring 13 extends into the notch and its two ends abut against the notch end surface of the catch 31 and the protrusion at the upper end of the inner cover body 10. Then, under the elastic force of the first spring 13, the catch 31 is in a state of being close to each other under normal circumstances.

[0050] In one embodiment, a driven inclined surface 311 is provided at one end of the catch 31 that cooperates with the sliding installation position 12 , and a driving inclined surface 22 is provided on the inner wall of the handle outer cover 20 , and the driving inclined surface 22 cooperates with the driven inclined surface 311 .

[0051] In a specific embodiment, when the handle outer cover 20 is pressed, the handle outer cover 20 slides axially along the inner cover body 10, so that the driving inclined surface 22 set on the inner wall of the handle outer cover 20 cooperates with the driven inclined surface 311 on the catch 31, and then the catch 31 moves away from each other along the radial direction of the inner cover body 10, thereby separating the catch 31 from the cup mouth, realizing the separation of the entire cup cover and the cup mouth.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to hold the cup lid and press the handle outer cover 20, a non-slip hand-held portion 14 is provided at the edge of the inner cover body 10, and an avoidance notch 23 is provided at the opening edge of the handle outer cover 20, and the non-slip hand-held portion 14 protrudes into the avoidance notch 23.

[0053] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the anti-slip hand-held portion 14 can be provided with an anti-slip protrusion. The anti-slip hand-held portion 14 is arch-shaped as a whole, and the contour of the avoidance gap 23 is consistent with the anti-slip hand-held portion 14. The user holds the anti-slip hand-held portion 14 and presses the handle outer cover 20 to open the handle outer cover 20 and the cup mouth.

[0054] In one embodiment, a second spring 60 is disposed in the inner plug 40 , and two ends of the second spring 60 respectively abut against the end surface of the inner cover body 10 and one end of the inner plug 40 .

[0055] When the handle cover 20 is pressed, the second spring 60 is compressed and the catch 31 is separated from the cup mouth. Under the rebound force of the second spring 60, the second spring 60 is pressed. Figure 16 , a reverse force is applied to the inner cover body 10, causing the cover to move upward, and the entire cup cover pops out from the cup mouth, facilitating the separation of the cup cover and the cup mouth. The four claws 31 are reset under the reset force of the first spring 13, and the reset spring 80 resets the connecting rod 41.

[0056] In short, the quick-open cup lid includes a coupling unit that enables the cup lid to be coupled to the cup mouth, and a handle outer cover 20 is provided on the inner lid body 10, which can facilitate the use of the entire cup, and the handle cup lid 20 can be movably connected to the inner lid body 10, and by pressing the entire handle outer cover 20, the coupling unit can be separated from the cup mouth, thereby significantly improving the convenience of using this type of cup, and a locking unit is provided on the inner lid body 10, which can lock or unlock the handle outer cover 20 along the axial direction of the inner lid body 10, thereby avoiding the cup lid and the cup mouth from being opened accidentally, and improving the safety of using this type of cup.
