Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cup lids, and in particular to a flip-top double-drinking cup lid. Background Technology
[0002] A water cup, also known as a mug, is a container used to hold liquids such as tea, water, and beverages. It's typically made of plastic, glass, ceramic, or stainless steel. In restaurants, beverages are often packaged in paper or plastic cups. Most mugs are cylindrical with an open top and are hollow to hold liquids. Because of the open top, the liquid inside is easily contaminated by dust, so if left unused for a long time, it should be covered with a lid. Mugs for hot drinks have handles for ease of use. The shape of mugs varies across different countries and cultures, demonstrating the significant influence of culture on mug shapes. There are many types of water cups, such as insulated mugs, open-top mugs, ring-shaped mugs, smart mugs, disposable mugs, and many more.
[0003] With societal development, cups on the market generally fall into two categories: direct-drinking cups with a drinking spout on the lid, and sippy cups with a drinking spout on the lid, allowing users to purchase according to their individual needs. Direct-drinking cups are suitable for adults, but young children are prone to choking when using them. Sippy cups, on the other hand, are suitable for young children and can effectively prevent choking. However, the water flow from the straw in sippy cups is limited, which prolongs the drinking time for adults. Therefore, dual-drinking cups have emerged on the market, offering both direct-drinking and sippy-drinking modes. However, existing dual-drinking cups require two drinking spouts on the lid, each corresponding to one of the two drinking methods, and also integrate structures corresponding to each method, making them quite complex.

[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment relates to a flip-top double-drinking cup lid, which includes an upper flip-top 1, a middle flip-top 2, a lower cover 3, and a self-locking device 4. The upper flip-top 1 and the middle flip-top 2 are hinged to the rear end of the lower cover 3 via a first hinge shaft 5. The self-locking device 4 is installed on the upper flip-top 1 and the lower cover 3 to lock the upper flip-top 1 and the middle flip-top 2. The lower cover 3 is provided with a drinking spout 31 and a sippy spout 32. The middle flip-top 2 is provided with a sippy spout 21 connected to the sippy spout 32. The bottom of the middle flip-top 2 is provided with a silicone part 23 for sealing the drinking spout 31. The self-locking device 4 includes a locking ring 41, a button 42, a latch 43, and a movable latch 44. The lower parts of the locking ring 41, button 42, and movable latch 44 are hinged to the front side of the lower cover 3. The upper part of the locking ring 41 is fastened to the upper flip cover 1. The upper part of the button 42 is fastened to the upper flip cover 1. The upper part of the movable latch 44 is fastened to the middle flip cover 2. The latch 43 is slidably connected to the button 42 and is engaged with the movable latch 44 to control the flipping of the movable latch 44. A return spring 46 is connected to the rear side of the button 42 for the button 42 to reset.
[0032] In the embodiments of this application, the front ends of the upper flip cover 1 and the lower cover 3 are provided with mounting grooves 33, and a second hinge shaft 45 is installed in the mounting groove 33. The button 42 and the movable buckle 44 are hinged in the mounting groove 33 through the second hinge shaft 45, and the locking ring 41 is hinged on both sides of the mounting groove 33.
[0033] The top front side of the flip cover 1 has a pressing position 11, and the top of the locking ring 41 has a pressing point 411. When the locking ring 41 is flipped upward, the pressing point 411 falls into the pressing position 11, and the locking ring 41 fixes the flip cover 1. The mounting groove 33 of the flip cover 1 has a first slot 12, and the upper part of the button 42 has a first locking strip 421. The first locking strip 421 is connected to the first slot 12. When the locking ring 41 is opened, the flip cover 1 is still stuck by the first locking strip 421 of the button 42 and cannot be opened directly. The button 42 must be rotated to disengage the first locking strip 421 from the first slot 12 before the flip cover 1 can be opened. The middle flip cover 2 has a second slot 22 at the front end and a second clip 441 at the upper part of the movable buckle 44. The second clip 441 is connected to the second slot 22. The button 42 can drive the movable buckle 44 to rotate, so that the second clip 441 is separated from the second slot 22, and the middle flip cover 2 can be opened.
[0034] In the embodiments of this application, the button 42 is provided with an unlocking groove 422 and a locking groove 423, which are connected. The latch 43 is connected to the unlocking groove 422 and the locking groove 423 by a slider 431. The latch 43 can slide horizontally on the button 42 and switch back and forth between the unlocking groove 422 and the locking groove 423. The rear side of the latch 43 is provided with a first locking foot 432, and the front side of the movable latch 44 is provided with a second locking foot 442 corresponding to the first locking foot 432. The first locking foot 432 and the second locking foot 442 are connected. All 42 adopt an L-shaped structure, with the two openings of the first latch 432 and the second latch 442 facing each other. When the latch 43 slides to the locking groove 423, the first latch 432 and the second latch 442 separate, and the movable latch 44 locks the middle flip cover 2. When the button 42 is pressed, the movable latch 44 remains fixed. When the latch 43 slides to the unlocking groove 422, the first latch 432 and the second latch 442 engage together. After the button 42 is pressed, the button 42 drives the movable latch 44 to flip together, and the movable latch 44 separates from the middle flip cover 2.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment is based on embodiment 1, with a fixing structure provided on the rear side of the cup lid to fix the opened flip-top cover 1. For example, during driving, this can prevent the opened flip-top cover 1 from obstructing the driver's view and improve safety. Specifically, the rear side of the lower cover 3 is provided with a hinge ring 6 for installing the first hinge shaft 5. Handles 7 are hinged to both sides of the first hinge shaft 1. The lower part of the hinge ring 6 is provided with a first limiting groove 61 for fixing the handle 7 and a second limiting groove 62 for fixing the flip-top cover 1. After the handle 7 is flipped backward, it enters the first limiting groove 61 for limitation, and after the flip-top cover 1 is flipped backward, it enters the second limiting groove 62 for limitation. The limitation of the first limiting groove 61 and the second limiting groove 62 can fix the handle 7 and the flip-top cover in place.
[0037] In addition, the rear end of the upper flip cover 1 is connected to the first hinge shaft 5 via a first torsion spring 8, and the middle flip cover 2 is connected to the first hinge shaft 5 via a second torsion spring 9. During the opening of the upper flip cover 1 and the middle flip cover 2, the first flip cover 1 and the middle flip cover 2 can be quickly opened due to the force of the first torsion spring 8 and the second torsion spring 9.
[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, when closed, the locking ring 41 is fastened to the upper flip cover 1, and the button 42 cannot open the upper flip cover 1 and the middle flip cover 2;
[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, in the drinking state (with the upper cover 1 open), the locking ring 41 is flipped open, and the locking buckle 43 is held in the locking groove 423. At this time, the first locking foot 432 of the locking buckle 43 does not catch the second locking foot 442 of the movable buckle 44. Press the button 42, and the first locking strip 421 on the button 42 separates from the first locking groove 12 of the upper cover 1. The first torsion spring 8 rotates, causing the upper cover 1 to open. At this time, water is sucked through the mouthpiece 21.
[0041] like Figure 8 As shown, in the direct drinking state (the upper flip cover 1 and the middle flip cover 2 are opened simultaneously), the locking ring 41 is flipped open, and the latch 43 moves to the unlocking slot 422. At this time, the first locking foot 432 of the latch 43 hooks the second locking foot 442 of the movable latch 44. Press the button 42, and the button 42 drives the movable latch 44 to rotate. The first locking strip 421 on the button 42 separates from the first locking slot 12 of the upper flip cover 1, and the second locking strip 441 on the movable latch 44 separates from the second locking slot 22 of the middle flip cover 2. The first torsion spring 8 and the second torsion spring 9 rotate, driving the upper flip cover 1 and the middle flip cover 2 to open. At this time, water is poured out directly through the direct drinking port 31, and you can pour water to drink.
[0042] As those skilled in the art will readily conceive, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made using the concept and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
