Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water cups, in particular to a motor-driven locking structure for a flip-cover water cup. Background Art
[0002] Water cups are common daily necessities. Although it is convenient to buy water outside, many people also have the habit of carrying water with them when going out. In this scenario, flip-top water cups are common. You only need to lock the button to prevent the cup lid from accidentally popping open. You only need to unlock and press the button to pop open the cup lid and drink water. However, there is a problem with this type of water cup: the button and other related structures for opening the lid will show obvious wear during long-term use, and may even lose their sensitivity, affecting normal use. Based on this situation, how to minimize the wear of the related structures for opening the lid of the flip-top water cup is becoming an increasingly urgent problem that relevant technical personnel need to solve. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a motor-driven locking structure for a flip-top water cup.
[0004] A motor-driven locking structure for a flip-top water cup comprises an upper outer cover and a lower cover, and is characterized in that an upper inner cover is fixedly arranged inside the upper outer cover, a rack and a locking block are slidably arranged on the upper part of the upper inner cover, the locking block is located in front of the rack, a clamping block is arranged below the locking block, a motor is fixedly arranged on the upper part of the upper inner cover, a gear is fixedly arranged on the end of the output shaft of the motor, the gear is meshed with the rack, a water outlet is arranged on the upper part of the lower cover, a clamping slot is arranged in front of the water outlet, and the clamping slot corresponds to the position of the clamping block.
[0005] Furthermore, a stopper is provided on the upper part of the upper inner cover, a flat groove is provided through the upper part of the locking block, the stopper is located on the inner side of the flat groove, a top block is provided at the rear end of the inner side of the flat groove, a spring is provided on the inner side of the flat groove, and both ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the top block and the stopper respectively.
[0006] Furthermore, a slide groove is provided at the lower portion of the rack, and a long slider is provided at the upper portion of the upper inner cover, and the slide groove is slidably connected to the long slider.
[0007] Furthermore, a fixed seat is provided at the rear portion of the lower cover, a rotating seat is provided at the rear portion of the upper inner cover, and a torsion spring is provided between the rotating seat and the fixed seat.
[0008] The beneficial effects of the motor-driven locking structure for a flip-top water cup of the utility model are:
[0009] The user only needs to start the motor to adjust the position of the card block through the transmission of the gear and rack, and the push of the rack on the locking block, so that the card block and the card slot are locked or unlocked. The rebound of the spring effectively ensures the stability of the lock. The transmission of the gear and rack, the sliding of the rack relative to the long slider, and the push of the rack on the locking block do not involve frequent wear of structures such as traditional water cup buttons, thereby effectively reducing the wear of related structures for opening the flip-top water cup lid.

[0018] To make the description clearer, a motor-driven locking structure for a flip-top water cup of the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0019] A motor-driven locking structure for a flip-top water cup comprises an upper outer cover 4 and a lower cover 3, and is characterized in that an upper inner cover 5 is fixedly arranged inside the upper outer cover 4, a rack 14 and a locking block 7 are slidably arranged on the upper part of the upper inner cover 5, the locking block 7 is located in front of the rack 14, a clamping block 11 is arranged at the lower part of the locking block 7, a motor 8 is fixedly arranged on the upper part of the upper inner cover 5, a gear 15 is fixedly arranged on the end of the output shaft of the motor 8, the gear 15 is meshed with the rack 14, a water outlet 9 is arranged on the upper part of the lower cover 3, a clamping slot 10 is arranged in front of the water outlet 9, and the position of the clamping slot 10 corresponds to that of the clamping block 11.
[0020] Furthermore, a stopper 6 is provided on the upper part of the upper inner cover 5, a flat groove 12 is provided through the upper part of the locking block 7, the stopper 6 is located on the inner side of the flat groove 12, a top block 13 is provided at the rear end of the inner side of the flat groove 12, a spring is provided on the inner side of the flat groove 12, and both ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the top block 13 and the stopper 6 respectively.
[0021] Furthermore, a slide groove 16 is provided at the lower portion of the rack 14 , and a long slider 17 is provided at the upper portion of the upper inner cover 5 , and the slide groove 16 is slidably connected to the long slider 17 .
[0022] Furthermore, a fixed seat 2 is provided at the rear of the lower cover 3 , a rotating seat 1 is provided at the rear of the upper inner cover 5 , and a torsion spring is provided between the rotating seat 1 and the fixed seat 2 .
[0023] The working principle of the motor-driven locking structure for flip-top water cups of the present invention is as follows: in the initial state, the upper outer cover 4 and the upper inner cover 5 are in the closed state as a whole. At this time, the card block 11 is engaged with the card slot 10. When the owner of the water cup wants to open the cover, the motor 8 is started. The method of starting the motor 8 can be determined by technicians in the relevant technical field, such as fingerprint recognition or other forms of switches. It only needs to be equipped with relevant structures. No more details are given. The output shaft of the motor 8 drives the gear 15 to rotate, and the gear 15 pushes the rack 14 forward, and then the rack 14 pushes the lock block 7 forward, and the card block 11 leaves the card slot 10 to release the engagement and lock. The action of the torsion spring causes the upper outer cover 4 and the upper inner cover 5 to bounce open as a whole. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state. When the cover is to be closed, the upper outer cover 4 and the upper inner cover 5 are pressed back as a whole. During this process, the output shaft of the motor 8 is reversed, and the gear 15 drives the rack 14 to move backward, and then the spring pushes the top block 13 to move the lock block 7 backward until the card block 11 is re-engaged in the card slot 10. At this point, a complete cover opening and closing process is completed.
[0024] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to them. Any changes or substitutions that do not require creative work should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection defined in the claims.
