Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of consumer goods technology, and in particular to a container lid and a container. Background Technology

[0002] A container typically consists of a container body and a lid, with the lid detachably attached to the opening of the container body to close it. When the container is used to hold food and is taken out, it is also necessary to carry utensils such as spoons. In existing technologies, the storage and retrieval of utensils such as spoons are inconvenient, affecting the user experience of the container. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a container lid and a container to improve the convenience of storing and retrieving tableware such as spoons, and to improve the user experience of the container.

[0004] The first aspect of this application provides a container lid, which includes:

[0005] The cover has a receiving groove, which is recessed into the upper surface of the cover;

[0006] A flip cover is disposed in the receiving slot, and the cover body is pivotally connected to the cover body to close or open the receiving slot;

[0007] A slider is disposed at the edge of the receiving groove. The slider is slidably connected to the cover and can slide toward or away from the receiving groove to lock or release the flip cover.

[0008] The container lid provided in this application includes a lid body, a flip-top, and a sliding member. The lid body has a receiving groove recessed into its upper surface for storing tableware such as spoons. The flip-top is disposed in the receiving groove and pivotally connected to the lid body to close or open the receiving groove. The sliding member is disposed at the edge of the receiving groove and slidably connected to the lid body, and can slide towards or away from the receiving groove to lock or release the flip-top. The user only needs to apply external force to the sliding member to move it away from the receiving groove to release the flip-top, allowing it to flip freely as needed. This makes opening and closing the receiving groove convenient and effortless, thereby improving the ease of storing or retrieving tableware for the user. Specifically, on the one hand, the relative fixation between the flip cover and the lid is achieved through the sliding component, so that apart from the frictional resistance at the pivot point, there is basically no other resistance or interference between the flip cover and the lid. This reduces the movement resistance of the flip cover and the opening and closing resistance of the receiving slot, making the operation of storing or taking out tableware convenient and effortless. On the other hand, the sliding direction of the sliding component is roughly perpendicular to the flipping movement direction of the lid, so that the sliding component only needs a small movement stroke to switch between locking and releasing the flip cover, which can improve the convenience of operation and ensure the reliability of the action.

[0009] Optionally, a first mating surface is provided above the flip cover. The first mating surface is located at the edge of the flip cover near the slider. At least a portion of the first mating surface is lower than the upper surface of the flip cover, thereby forming a recessed space above the first mating surface. When the slider locks the flip cover, the slider abuts against the first mating surface, allowing a portion of the slider to be accommodated within the recessed space. This reduces or prevents the slider from protruding from the upper surface of the flip cover, improving the overall appearance of the container lid.

[0010] Optionally, the first mating surface gradually slopes downwards along the direction close to the slider, and an abutment surface is provided below the slider; when the slider locks the flip cover, the abutment surface and the first mating surface are in contact with each other. The abutment surface and the first mating surface are parallel inclined surfaces, which can reduce the movement resistance when the slider locks the flip cover, and also ensure a reliable contact between the slider and the flip cover, increasing the stability of the flip cover in the closed state.

[0011] Optionally, a second mating surface is provided below the flip cover, located at the edge of the flip cover near the slider; the second mating surface gradually slopes upwards along the direction near the slider; when the flip cover is flipped towards the cover body, the second mating surface abuts against the slider, forcing the slider to slide away from the receiving groove. When it is necessary to close the receiving groove, simply flipping the flip cover towards the cover body will automatically slide the slider away from the receiving groove to the position where the flip cover is released, without requiring the user to manually operate the slider to avoid it, further improving the convenience of closing the receiving groove.

[0012] Optionally, the cover body is provided with a mounting groove, which is recessed into the upper surface of the cover body. The sliding member is connected to the mounting groove and closes the opening of the mounting groove. This increases the mating depth between the sliding member and the cover body, thereby increasing the stability and reliability of the sliding member connection, and also forms a flat surface on the top of the container cover, thereby improving the overall appearance of the container cover.

[0013] Optionally, the mounting groove is provided with a first latching part, the extension direction of the first latching part being parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding member; a second latching part is provided below the sliding member, the second latching part engaging with the first latching part and being able to slide along the first latching part. Through the latching engagement, both the installation and fixation of the sliding member and the sliding guidance of the sliding member are simultaneously achieved, simplifying the overall structure of the container cap and reducing production costs.

[0014] Optionally, the sliding member has a downward-facing flange at the end away from the receiving groove. The flange is located outside the mounting groove, and the edge of the cover body has a groove facing the flange. When the sliding member locks the cover, the flange is embedded in the groove. The flange and the edge of the cover body form a complementary fit, thereby making the edge of the container cover have a regular and complete external shape, improving the appearance of the container cover.

[0015] Optionally, the inner wall of the receiving groove is provided with a protrusion, which is located on the side of the receiving groove near the slider and below the slider. When the slider locks the flip cover, the flip cover is sandwiched between the slider and the protrusion. On the one hand, by providing a small protrusion below the slider, the flip cover is supported, eliminating the need for steps or other support structures on the groove wall, thus creating a smoother inner wall surface and improving cleaning convenience. On the other hand, the protrusion, flip cover, and slider are stacked sequentially from bottom to top, increasing both strength and stability, thereby preventing the flip cover from wobbling up and down.

[0016] Optionally, the container lid further includes a first elastic element disposed between the flip cover and the lid body to force the flip cover to flip away from the lid body. When the sliding member releases the flip cover, under the action of the first elastic element, the flip cover automatically flips away from the lid body to open the receiving slot, further improving the convenience of opening the receiving slot and making the operation of storing or taking out tableware more convenient; and / or, the container lid further includes a second elastic element disposed between the sliding member and the lid body to force the sliding member to slide towards the receiving slot. When the sliding member is not subjected to external force, under the action of the second elastic element, the sliding member automatically slides towards the receiving slot to lock the flip cover. The user does not need to manually lock the flip cover, which can improve the convenience of closing the receiving slot and ensure that the flip cover can be stably kept in the closed state.

[0017] A second aspect of this application provides an insulated container, which includes a container body and any of the container lids provided in this application, wherein the container lid is connected to the opening of the container body.

[0018] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0048] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance; unless otherwise specified or explained, the term "multiple" refers to two or more; the terms "connected," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, an integral connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] In the description of this specification, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" used in the embodiments of this application are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should also be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.

[0050] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this application provides a container lid that can cover and connect to the opening of a container body, so that the lid 1 and the container body together constitute a container. For example, the container lid can be connected to the opening of the container body by a suitable means such as a snap or thread.

[0051] like Figures 1-5As shown, the container lid includes a lid body 1, a flip cover 2, and a sliding member 3. The lid body 1 is used to cover and connect to the container body. The lid body 1 has a receiving groove 11, which is recessed in the upper surface of the lid body 1 for storing tableware 6 such as spoons. The flip cover 2 is disposed in the receiving groove 11 and is pivotally connected to the lid body 1. That is, the flip cover 2 can be flipped to move closer to or away from the lid body 1 to close or open the receiving groove 11, so that the tableware 6 can be stored in a closed space to prevent dust and other contaminants from contaminating the tableware 6. When the flip cover 2 is flipped away from the lid body 1, it can open the receiving groove 11; when the flip cover 2 is flipped closer to the lid body 1, it can close the receiving groove 11. The slider 3 is located at the edge of the receiving groove 11. The slider 3 is slidably connected to the cover 1 and can slide towards or away from the receiving groove 11 to lock or release the flip cover 2. When the slider 3 locks the flip cover 2, the flip cover 2 is stably kept in the closed receiving groove 11 state to prevent the flip cover 2 from moving freely and generating noise during use. When the slider 3 releases the flip cover 2, the flip cover 2 can freely flip towards or away from the cover 1, so that the receiving groove 11 can be closed or opened as needed, making it convenient for users to store or take out tableware 6.

[0052] Therefore, it can be seen that the user only needs to apply external force to the slider 3 to move it away from the receiving groove 11, which will release the flip cover 2 and allow the flip cover 2 to flip freely as needed. This makes the opening and closing of the receiving groove 11 convenient and effortless, thereby improving the convenience of the user in storing or taking out the tableware 6. Specifically, on the one hand, the slider 3 achieves relative fixation between the flip cover 2 and the cover body 1, so that there is basically no other resistance or interference between the flip cover 2 and the cover body 1 except for the frictional resistance at the pivot position. This reduces the movement resistance of the flip cover 2 and the opening and closing resistance of the receiving groove 11, thus making the operation of storing or taking out the tableware 6 convenient and effortless. On the other hand, the sliding direction of the slider 3 is roughly perpendicular to the flipping movement direction of the cover body 1, so that the slider 3 only needs a small movement stroke to switch between locking and releasing the flip cover 2, which can improve the convenience of operation and ensure the reliability of the action.

[0053] Specifically, the shape of the receiving slot 11 can be reasonably set according to the shape or length of the tableware 6. The receiving slot 11 can be equipped with a partition structure as needed to store different tableware 6 such as spoons and chopsticks; the receiving slot 11 can be equipped with a limiting structure such as a buckle to firmly fix the tableware 6 in the receiving slot 11 and prevent the tableware 6 from moving or shaking in the receiving slot 11.

[0054] Furthermore, the container lid also includes a first elastic element 4. The first elastic element 4 is disposed between the flip cover 2 and the lid body 1 to force the flip cover 2 to flip away from the lid body 1. That is, when the sliding member 3 releases the flip cover 2, under the action of the first elastic element 4, the flip cover 2 automatically flips away from the lid body 1 to open the receiving slot 11, further improving the convenience of opening the receiving slot 11 and making the operation of storing or taking out the tableware 6 more convenient.

[0055] In one embodiment, the first elastic element 4 is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the pivot between the flip cover 2 and the cover 1. This not only better conceals the first elastic element 4, improving the overall appearance, but also avoids the first elastic element 4 occupying space within the receiving groove 11, increasing the effective utilization rate of the receiving groove 11. Understandably, in other embodiments, the first elastic element 4 can also be a spring or a sheet spring, as long as it can provide an outward flipping force on the flip cover 2.

[0056] Furthermore, the container lid also includes a second elastic element 5. The second elastic element 5 is disposed between the sliding element 3 and the lid body 1. For example, the second elastic element 5 is a spring, and its two ends elastically abut against the sliding element 3 and the lid body 1 respectively, so as to force the sliding element 3 to slide towards the receiving groove 11. That is to say, when the sliding element 3 is not subjected to external force (for example, when the user releases the sliding element 3), under the action of the second elastic element 5, the sliding element 3 automatically slides towards the receiving groove 11 to lock the flip cover 2. The user does not need to manually lock the flip cover 2, which can improve the convenience of closing the receiving groove 11 and ensure that the flip cover 2 can be stably stopped in the closed state.

[0057] like Figures 6-8 As shown, further, the inner wall of the receiving groove 11 is provided with a protrusion 111, which is located on the side of the receiving groove 11 near the slider 3 and below the slider 3. When the slider 3 locks the flip cover 2, the flip cover 2 is sandwiched between the slider 3 and the protrusion 111. On the one hand, by providing a small protrusion 111 below the slider 3, the flip cover 2 is supported, eliminating the need for steps or other support structures on the groove wall of the receiving groove 11, thus allowing the inner wall of the receiving groove 11 to form a surface as flat as possible, improving the convenience of cleaning; on the other hand, the protrusion 111, the flip cover 2, and the slider 3 are stacked sequentially from bottom to top, which increases both strength and stability, thereby preventing the flip cover 2 from shaking up and down. In addition, by reasonably setting the size of the protrusion 111 along the depth direction of the receiving groove 11, the protrusion 111 can also limit the position of the tableware 6, thereby simplifying the overall structure.

[0058] Furthermore, a first mating surface 21 is provided above the flip cover 2, and the first mating surface 21 is located at the edge of the flip cover 2 near the slider 3. At least a portion of the first mating surface 21 is lower than the upper surface of the flip cover 2. For example, a step is formed between the first mating surface 21 and the upper surface of the cover body 1, thereby creating a recessed space above the first mating surface 21 on the flip cover 2. When the slider 3 locks the flip cover 2, the slider 3 abuts against the first mating surface 21, so that a portion of the slider 3 is accommodated in the recessed space, thereby reducing or preventing the slider 3 from protruding from the upper surface of the flip cover 2 and improving the overall appearance of the container lid.

[0059] Furthermore, along the direction close to the slider 3, the first mating surface 21 gradually slopes downwards, meaning that the slider 3 has an abutment surface 31 below it. When the slider 3 locks the flip cover 2, the abutment surface 31 and the first mating surface 21 are in contact with each other. That is, the abutment surface 31 and the first mating surface 21 are parallel inclined surfaces, which can reduce the movement resistance when the slider 3 locks the flip cover 2 and ensure reliable contact between the slider 3 and the flip cover 2, increasing the stability of the flip cover 2 in the closed state. Specifically, during the movement of the slider 3 towards the receiving groove 11, there is a gap between the abutment surface 31 and the first mating surface 21, so no frictional resistance is generated; when the slider 3 moves to its position, the abutment surface 31 and the first mating surface 21 are in contact with each other to form a wedge force, and the slider 3 and the flip cover 2 cannot move relative to each other, thus increasing the stability of the flip cover 2 in the closed state.

[0060] Furthermore, a second mating surface 22 is provided below the flip cover 2, located at the edge of the flip cover 2 near the slider 3. Along the direction near the slider 3, the second mating surface 22 gradually slopes upwards; it can be a sloped surface or a curved surface. When the flip cover 2 is flipped towards the cover body 1, the second mating surface 22 and the slider 3 abut against each other, forcing the slider 3 to slide away from the receiving groove 11. When it is necessary to close the receiving groove 11, simply flipping the flip cover 2 towards the cover body 1 will automatically slide the slider 3 away from the receiving groove 11 to the position where the flip cover 2 is released. The user does not need to manually operate the slider 3 to avoid it, further improving the convenience of closing the receiving groove 11.

[0061] Furthermore, the cover 1 is provided with a mounting groove 12, which is recessed into the upper surface of the cover 1. The sliding member 3 is connected to the mounting groove 12 and closes the opening of the mounting groove 12. This not only increases the mating depth between the sliding member 3 and the cover 1, thereby increasing the stability and reliability of the connection of the sliding member 3, but also forms a flat surface on the top of the container cover, thereby improving the overall appearance of the container cover.

[0062] Specifically, the mounting groove 12 and the receiving groove 11 are arranged side by side. A portion of the slider 3 extends to the outside of the mounting groove 12 and can enter or exit the receiving groove 11, thereby locking or releasing the flip cover 2. The slider 3 can extend to the outside of the mounting groove 12 within the depth range of the mounting groove 12. For example, a through hole can be provided between the mounting groove 12 and the receiving groove 11, through which a portion of the slider 3 enters or exits the receiving groove 11; or, the slider 3 can extend to the outside of the mounting groove 12 outside the depth range of the mounting groove 12. For example, a portion of the slider 3 can enter or exit the receiving groove 11 above the cover 1.

[0063] Furthermore, a first recess 13 is provided between the mounting groove 12 and the receiving groove 11. The mounting groove 12 and the receiving groove 11 are interconnected through the first recess 13. A portion of the sliding member 3 extends into the first recess 13 and can extend into or retract from the receiving groove 11. On the one hand, the sliding member 3 can completely cover the top of the mounting groove 12, ensuring that the mounting groove 12 will not be exposed during the movement of the sliding member 3, thus improving the cleanliness and safety of the container lid. On the other hand, the sliding member 3 sinks into the first recess 13, which can reduce or prevent the sliding member 3 from protruding from the upper surface of the lid body 1, thereby forming a flat surface on the top of the container lid.

[0064] Furthermore, the mounting groove 12 is provided with a first latching part 121, the extension direction of which is parallel to the sliding direction of the slider 3. A second latching part 32 is provided below the slider 3, the second latching part 32 engaging with the first latching part 121 and being able to slide along the first latching part 121. Through this latching engagement, both the installation and fixation of the slider 3 and its sliding guidance are simultaneously achieved, simplifying the overall structure of the container cap and reducing production costs.

[0065] The first latching part 121 and the second latching part 32 each include two parallel latching claws to achieve reliable latching and provide reliable guidance. The first latching part 121 may protrude from the bottom of the mounting groove 12 or from the wall of the mounting groove 12.

[0066] Furthermore, the end of the slider 3 away from the receiving groove 11 is provided with a downward flange 33, which is located outside the mounting groove 12. The edge of the cover 1 is provided with a groove 14 opposite to the flange 33. When the slider 3 locks the flip cover 2, the flange 33 is embedded in the groove 14. That is to say, the flange 33 and the edge of the cover 1 form a complementary fit, thereby making the edge of the container cover form a regular and complete external shape, improving the appearance of the container cover.

[0067] Furthermore, a second recess 15 is provided between the mounting groove 12 and the recess 14. The mounting groove 12 and the recess 14 are interconnected through the second recess 15. A portion of the sliding member 3 extends into the second recess 15 and is folded downward to form a flange 33. The sliding member 3 sinks into the second recess 15, which can reduce or prevent the sliding member 3 from protruding from the upper surface of the lid 1, thereby forming a flat surface above the container lid.

[0068] In addition, this application embodiment also provides a heat-insulating container, which includes a container body and any of the container lids provided in this application embodiment, the container lid being connected to the opening of the container body.

[0069] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
