[0023] Example 2:

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention comprises two main parts: a cover 1 and a secondary cover 2. The cover 1 is the base structure of the milk tea cup, with a drinking hole 3 and a straw hole 4 for the user to drink milk tea directly and insert a straw. The secondary cover 2 is designed to cover the end surface of the cover 1 to prevent milk tea from spilling out of the drinking hole 3 or straw hole 4, and also to prevent foreign matter from entering the cup.

[0025] The cover body 1 is fixedly connected to the sub-cover 2 through a connecting piece 5. The cover body 1 and the sub-cover 2 are connected by the connecting piece 5. When the sub-cover 2 is completely opened and separated from the cover body 1, the user is prevented from losing the sub-cover 2 due to forgetting or dropping it. The connecting piece 5 includes a snap-on section 6, a buckle section 7 and an elastic section 8.

When in use, the user can completely open the sub-cover 2. The snap-fit ​​section 6 is disengaged from the receiving groove 30. At this time, the snap-fit ​​section 7 is still fixed on the cover body 1. This usage state is the first usage state of the present invention. In the first usage state, the sub-cover 2 can be flipped open like a hinge structure; in the second usage state, the user completely opens the sub-cover 2, so that the snap-fit ​​section 6 is disengaged from the receiving groove 30, and the snap-fit ​​section 7 is disengaged from the cover body 1. At this time, the elastic section 8 provides a certain elastic deformation ability, so that the connecting member 5 becomes softer, so that the sub-cover 2 can be connected to the cover body 1 similar to a rope; through both usage states, the sub-cover 2 can be prevented from being forgotten or dropped, and the different needs of users can be met, thereby improving the user experience.

[0026] The sub-cover 2 consists of a first flap 9, a second flap 10, and a bent portion 11. The first flap 9 is fixedly connected to the second flap 10 via the bent portion 11. This design allows the sub-cover 2 to be divided into two parts. Users only need to open the corresponding flap to drink milk tea, without having to open the entire sub-cover 2. When not drinking, users can also conveniently close the sub-cover 2, keeping the milk tea hygienic and fresh.

[0027] The bending portion 11 includes a bending groove 12 and a fixing hole 13. The bending groove 12 facilitates the folding of the first and second flaps 9 and 10, while the fixing hole 13 secures the secondary cover 2 to the lid body 1. A closure tab 15 is fixedly connected to the straw hole 4 via a connecting arm 14. This tab 15 prevents the milk tea from spilling. When the user removes the straw, the elastic connecting arm 14 automatically drives the closure tab 15 to close the straw hole 4, thereby maintaining a tight seal.

[0028] The cover 1 is also specially designed with a raised portion 16, a fixing block 17, a first plug hole 18 and a second plug hole 19. The raised portion 16 is the part that the user's lips touch when drinking milk tea directly. In order to protect this part from being dirty, the raised portion 16 is designed with a slot 20. The first flip cover 9 is correspondingly provided with a first connector 21, a first plug connector 22 and a raised cover 23. The function of the raised cover 23 is to cover the raised portion 16. The shapes of the two are similar, which can effectively prevent the raised portion 16 from being dirty. The second flip cover 10 is provided with a second connector 24 and a second plug connector 25. The second plug connector 25 is also specially designed with an exhaust hole 26 for adjusting the air pressure difference inside the milk tea cup to prevent the cover 1 from falling off due to the action of air pressure.

[0029] In the connection between the sub-cover 2 and the cover body 1, the fixing hole 13 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 17, the first connector 21 is plugged and fixed to the first plug hole 18, the first plug connector 22 is plugged and fixed to the drinking hole 3, the raised cover 23 is fit and fixed to the raised portion 16, the second connector 24 is plugged and fixed to the second plug hole 19, and the second plug connector 25 is plugged and fixed to the straw hole 4. This design ensures that the sub-cover 2 can be firmly fixed to the cover body 1, while also ensuring the sealing and hygienic properties of the milk tea.

[0030] The end surface design of the fixing block 13 can be used for engraving or pasting a logo, which not only helps merchants to promote their brands, but also effectively enhances the brand's visibility.

[0031] During use, the user can simply flip open the first flip cover 9, separating the first connector 21 from the first plug hole 18. The drinking hole 3 is now open, allowing the user to conveniently drink milk tea. When the user needs to temporarily put down the milk tea cup and leave, they simply close the first flip cover 9 and secure it to the cover body 1. The raised cover 23 will then cover the raised portion 16, effectively preventing foreign objects from contaminating the raised portion 16. This design also alleviates the user's concerns about soiling the raised portion 16, significantly improving the user experience.

[0032] The present invention further enhances the user's ease of opening the raised cover 23 and the first flip cover 9. The raised cover 23 is designed with a pull-out handle 27 extending from it. This handle 27 provides a clear grip for the user when opening the raised cover 23 and the first flip cover 9. The handle 27 is designed with ergonomic considerations in mind, allowing the user to easily pull the handle 27 out with their fingers when opening the cover, reducing the amount of force required. A rocker plate is designed at the end of the handle 27, providing an additional snap-in point and reducing the effort required to pull the handle 27 out. The rocker plate allows the user to easily snap the handle 27, thereby opening the raised cover 23 and the first flip cover 9 with a simple click. This design not only improves the user experience but also reduces the risk of damage to the cover due to improper force. The handle 27 is secured to the slot 20 of the raised cover 23 using a snap-on connection, providing both a secure and easy-to-remove mechanism. The clamping fixation makes the easy-pull handle 27 not fall off easily during normal use, ensuring the stability and reliability of use. At the same time, when it is necessary to drink milk tea, the user can easily remove the easy-pull handle 27 from the slot 20, which is very convenient.

[0033] The present invention further optimizes the design of the second plug connector 25 to ensure the tightness of the milk tea. The main function of the second plug connector 25 is to block the straw hole 4, preventing the milk tea from spilling during transportation or storage, and ensuring the hygiene and freshness of the milk tea. To achieve this function, the second plug connector 25 is specially designed with an annular retaining rib 28 structure. The function of this annular retaining rib 28 structure is to cooperate with the annular retaining groove 29 of the straw hole 4 to fix the second plug connector 25 in the straw hole 4 through a snap-fit ​​method. This fixing method is both simple and secure, and can keep the lid stable when the user carries or moves the milk tea cup, preventing the milk tea from leaking due to a loose lid. The user simply needs to align the second plug connector 25 with the straw hole 4 and gently press it down. The second plug connector will be fixed in the straw hole 4. When the straw hole 4 needs to be opened, just gently pull out the second plug connector 25.

[0034] To ensure the durability, safety, and environmental friendliness of the milk tea cup lid, the lid body 1 and sub-lid 2 are both made of polypropylene (PP). PP is a widely used plastic material, widely used in food containers and packaging for its excellent physical properties and chemical stability. PP possesses extremely high chemical resistance, meaning that even when exposed to acidic or alkaline substances, the lid body 1 and sub-lid 2 will not react chemically, thus ensuring the safe storage of milk tea. PP also offers excellent heat resistance, capable of withstanding high temperatures within a certain range. This ensures that the split lid remains stable even with hot drinks, preventing deformation or the release of harmful substances due to temperature fluctuations. Regarding durability, the strength and toughness of PP allow the lid body 1 and sub-lid 2 to withstand the drops and impacts of daily use, reducing the risk of breakage. Its wear resistance also ensures that the lid maintains its appearance and functionality even after extended use. Another advantage of PP is its ease of processing and molding, allowing the lid body 1 and sub-lid 2 to be designed into complex structures while maintaining precise dimensions and shapes. Environmental friendliness was also a key factor in choosing PP. PP is a recyclable material, which means that after use, the split cover can be recycled and reused, reducing the impact on the environment. In addition, PP material has low energy consumption during the production process, which meets the requirements of sustainable development.

[0035] The lid body 1, sub-lid 2, and connector 5 are integrally molded using injection molding. This process not only improves production efficiency but also enhances the structural stability of the entire lid. During the injection molding process, the raw materials are heated to a molten state before entering the mold cavity through the injection molding machine's nozzle and the mold's gating system, where they harden and set. This process allows the lid body 1, sub-lid 2, and connector 5 to be tightly integrated, forming a solid, integrated unit, thereby enhancing the lid's durability and reliability. This integrally molded lid reduces gaps and looseness that can occur when multiple components are assembled, which could affect the lid's seal and strength. Furthermore, integrally molded lids offer greater flexibility in material selection. Based on the specific application and performance requirements of the product, the most suitable plastic material, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or nylon, can be selected. These materials offer excellent physical properties and cost-effectiveness, meeting the needs of different products. For example, polypropylene (PP) is a common choice for lids due to its high chemical resistance and low density. Injection molding also helps improve production efficiency by reducing subsequent assembly steps. In traditional multi-component assembly processes, each component needs to be produced separately and then assembled together, which not only increases production time and cost but also may introduce assembly errors. However, the one-piece injection molding process can directly produce the complete lid in one step, greatly simplifying the production process.
