Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of training cup technology, and in particular to a novel training cup. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese Patent Document No. CN110913729B, dated May 3, 2022, discloses a valve element for allowing a user to drink from the upper edge of a valve assembly. The valve element includes a body comprising a resilient deformable portion having an edge located in a first plane. At least the edge of the resilient deformable portion is configured to deform substantially inward to be located in a sealing position within the valve assembly in a second plane. Furthermore, a portion of the edge is configured to lift away from the second plane when a suction force is applied to the upper surface of a corresponding portion of the resilient deformable portion. When the user presses his or her lips against the outer edge of the valve element / sealing cap, the sealing cap is actuated and the valve opens, thus creating a fluid flow path from the inside of the container to the user's mouth. More specifically, when the user presses his or her lips against the outer edge and thus applies downward pressure or force to the outer edge, the sealing cap bends near the applied force / pressure, causing the annular valve face to move away from the annular valve seat surface via pivoting motion around these pivoting protrusions located near the applied pressure / force; in other words, the downward force applied by the user to the outer edge of the sealing cap is converted into an upward movement of the annular valve face, thereby lifting the annular valve face from the annular valve seat surface and opening the container. However, when this training cup is carried in a backpack, the vibration of the backpack during walking causes the training cup to swing around, which may put pressure on the outer edge of the valve element / sealing cap, causing the sealing cap to be actuated and the valve to open, thus causing the training cup to leak.

[0003] Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new type of training cup that is simple in structure, has good sealing performance, is leak-proof, easy to carry, and highly practical, so as to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] A novel training cup designed for this purpose includes a cup body, a lid, and a sealing element. The lid is fixed to the top of the cup body, and the sealing element is disposed between the cup body and the lid. An inner cavity is provided inside the cup body, and a water outlet cavity is formed between the lid and the sealing element. The characteristic feature is that a sealing element is provided at the lower part of the sealing element. The sealing element can be deformed into a first form and a second form. When the sealing element is deformed into the first form, the inner cavity and the water outlet cavity are interconnected. When the sealing element is deformed into the second form, the sealing element closes the water outlet cavity so that the inner cavity and the water outlet cavity are not interconnected.

[0006] The seal is provided with a support deformation part. When the support deformation part deforms downward, it drives the sealing part to move downward and deforms the seal into a first form. When the support deformation part deforms upward, it drives the sealing part to move upward and deforms the seal into a second form.

[0007] The sealing element has a first through hole that connects to the water outlet cavity, and the sealing element has a sealing part. When the sealing element is deformed into the first form, the sealing part disengages from the first through hole, and the inner cavity connects to the water outlet cavity through the first through hole. When the sealing element is deformed into the second form, the sealing part seals the first through hole so that the inner cavity and the water outlet cavity are not connected to each other.

[0008] The seal is provided with an operating part. When the operating part is pressed down, it causes the supporting deformation part to deform downward. When the operating part is pulled up, it causes the supporting deformation part to deform upward, and the supporting deformation part supports the operating part upward. The seal is provided with a main body part, which is integrally provided at one end of the supporting deformation part, and the sealing mating edge is integrally provided at the other end of the supporting deformation part.

[0009] The operating unit includes a connector and a first handle. The connector is fixed to the main body and has a rotating shaft. The first handle has a rotating hole. The rotating shaft and the rotating hole are rotatably engaged so that the first handle is rotatably connected to the connector. When the first handle is rotated upward, it can be used for operation. When the first handle is rotated downward, it is stored in the operating unit.

[0010] A gap is left between the closure and the inner wall of the cup, and / or a second through hole is provided on the closure. When the closure is deformed into the first form, the inner cavity is connected to the first through hole through the gap and / or the second through hole.

[0011] The seal is provided with a slot. When the seal moves downward, the inner cavity is connected to the first through hole through the slot. When the seal moves upward, the sealing part is inserted into the slot so that the inner cavity, the slot and the first through hole are not connected to each other.

[0012] The support deformation part is tilted downward when it deforms downward, and tilted upward when it deforms upward.

[0013] Alternatively, the closure and sealing elements are separate components, with a connector between them. The sealing element has a groove, and the connector has a side that inserts into it. The side and groove are interlocked to connect the sealing element and the connector. The closure element has a first thread, and the connector has a second thread. The first and second threads engage to connect the closure and the connector, thereby pressing the sealing element between them. A second handle is provided at the bottom of the closure element.

[0014] A sealing edge is provided on the inner side of the lid, a sealing pressure edge is provided on the top of the cup body, a sealing part is provided on the sealing element, and the sealing part is pressed between the sealing edge and the sealing pressure edge; an installation hole is provided on the inner side of the sealing edge, the sealing element passes through the installation hole, a first through hole is provided on the sealing part, and the first through hole connects to the water outlet cavity through the installation hole.

[0015] The top of the seal is provided with a sealing mating edge, and a water outlet cavity is formed between the sealing mating edge, the sealing part and the upper edge of the cover. The sealing mating edge is sealed with the upper edge of the cover. When an external force is applied to the sealing mating edge, the sealing mating edge is disengaged from the upper edge of the cover, so that an opening is formed between the sealing mating edge and the upper edge of the cover, and the water outlet cavity is connected to the outside through the opening.

[0016] This novel training cup features a closure at the bottom of the sealing component. When the operating part is pulled up, the supporting deformation part deforms upward, causing the closure to move upward, thus sealing the first through hole. The inner cavity and the water outlet cavity are not connected. Therefore, even if the training cup is shaken around in a backpack, causing pressure on the sealing edge and opening the opening between the lid and the sealing component, water in the inner cavity of the training cup will not leak out. If a child wants to drink, they only need to press down on the operating part, causing the supporting deformation part to deform downward, disengaging the closure from the first through hole, and thus connecting the inner cavity and the water outlet cavity, allowing for normal drinking.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] See Figures 1-9 This novel training cup includes a cup body 1, a lid 2, and a sealing element 3. The lid 2 is fixed to the top of the cup body 1, and the sealing element 3 is disposed between the cup body 1 and the lid 2. The cup body 1 has an inner cavity 4 for holding water, and a water outlet cavity 5 is formed between the lid 2 and the sealing element 3. A sealing element 6 is disposed at the lower part of the sealing element 3. The sealing element 3 can be deformed into a first form A and a second form B. When the sealing element 3 is deformed into the first form A, the inner cavity 4 and the water outlet cavity 5 are interconnected, and water in the inner cavity 4 can enter the water outlet cavity 5, allowing the user to drink normally. When the sealing element 3 is deformed into the second form B, the sealing element 6 seals the water outlet cavity 5, so that the inner cavity 4 and the water outlet cavity 5 are not interconnected. At this time, water in the inner cavity 4 cannot enter the water outlet cavity 5, so drinking is not possible, and water on the inner cavity 4 will not leak out of the training cup.

[0028] The sealing element 3 is provided with a support deformation part 20. When the support deformation part 20 deforms downward, it drives the sealing element 6 to move downward and deforms the sealing element 3 into the first form A. When the support deformation part 20 deforms upward, it drives the sealing element 6 to move upward and deforms the sealing element 3 into the second form B.

[0029] The sealing element 3 is provided with a first through hole 7 that connects to the water outlet cavity 5. The sealing element 6 is provided with a sealing part 8 on its outer periphery. The sealing part 8 is a convex edge. When the sealing element 3 is deformed into the first form A, the sealing part 8 disengages from the first through hole 7, and the inner cavity 4 connects to the water outlet cavity 5 through the first through hole 7. When the sealing element 3 is deformed into the second form B, the sealing part 8 closes the first through hole 7 so that the inner cavity 4 and the water outlet cavity 5 are not connected to each other.

[0030] The sealing element 3 is provided with an operating part. When the operating part is pressed down, it causes the supporting deformation part 20 to deform downward. When the operating part is pulled up, it causes the supporting deformation part 20 to deform upward, and the supporting deformation part 20 supports the operating part upward. The user can press down or pull up the operating part by hand to switch the sealing element 3 between the first form A and the second form B.

[0031] The sealing element 3 is provided with a main body 21, which is integrally provided at one end of the supporting deformation part 20. The sealing mating edge 18 is integrally provided at the other end of the supporting deformation part 20, and the sealing element 6 is provided at the lower end of the main body 21.

[0032] The operating unit includes a connector 25 and a first handle 26. The connector 25 is fixed to the main body 21. A rotating shaft 27 is provided on the connector 25. A rotating hole 28 is provided on the first handle 26. The rotating shaft 27 and the rotating hole 28 are rotatably engaged so that the first handle 26 is rotatably connected to the connector 25. When the first handle 26 is rotated upward, it can be used for operation. When the first handle 26 is rotated downward, it is stored in the operating unit to prevent the third handle 41 from hitting the user's nose when the user drinks water.

[0033] A gap 10 is left between the outer periphery of the sealing member 6 and the inner wall of the cup body 1, and / or, a number of second through holes 11 are arranged in a ring on the sealing member 6. When the sealing member 3 is deformed into the first form A, the inner cavity 4 is connected to the first through hole 7 through the gap 10 and / or the second through holes 11.

[0034] The bottom of the seal 3 is provided with a slot 12. When the sealing member 6 moves downward, the inner cavity 4 is connected to the first through hole 7 through the slot 12 (the inner cavity 4 is connected to the slot 12 through the gap 10 and / or the second through hole 11, and the slot 12 is connected to the first through hole 7). When the sealing member 6 moves upward, the sealing part 8 is inserted into the slot 12 so that the inner cavity 4, the slot 12 and the first through hole 7 are not connected to each other.

[0035] When the support deformation part 20 deforms downward, it is inclined downward; when the support deformation part 20 deforms upward, it is inclined upward, forming a triangular support structure, so that the support deformation part 20 can support the main body part 21 upward, and then support the operating part upward (when the seal 3 is deformed into the second form B).

[0036] The closure 6 and the sealing element 3 are separately provided, and a connector 25 is provided between the closure 6 and the sealing element 3. The sealing element 3 is provided with an insertion groove 29, and the connector 25 is provided with an insertion edge 30. The insertion edge 30 and the insertion groove 29 are interlocked to connect the sealing element 3 and the connector 25. The closure 6 is provided with a first threaded portion 31, and the connector 25 is provided with a second threaded portion 14. The first threaded portion 31 and the second threaded portion 14 cooperate with each other to connect the closure 6 and the connector 25, thereby pressing the sealing element 3 between the closure 6 and the connector 25. The sealing element 3 is made of rubber material, and the closure 6 and the connector 25 are made of plastic.

[0037] The bottom of the closure 6 is provided with a second handle 9. During installation, first connect the connector 25 to the seal 3, then connect the closure 6 and the connector 25, then insert the seal 3 into the cover 2, and finally install the cover 2 on the top of the cup 1. During disassembly, first remove the cover 2 from the top of the cup 1, and the seal 3, closure 6 and connector 25 can be removed together. Then pull the closure 6 down through the second handle 9 to move the seal 3 downward and separate it from the cover 2. Then remove the closure 6, and finally separate the connector 25 and the seal 3 from each other.

[0038] A sealing edge 15 is provided on the inner side of the lid 2, a sealing pressure edge 16 is provided on the top of the cup body 1, and a sealing part 17 is provided around the sealing element 3. The sealing part 17 is pressed between the sealing edge 15 and the sealing pressure edge 16. The sealing part 17 is used to seal the gap between the cup body 1 and the lid 2 to prevent water in the inner cavity 4 from leaking out of the training cup through this gap.

[0039] An installation hole 13 is provided on the inner side of the sealing edge 15, and the sealing element 3 passes through the installation hole 13. The first through hole 7 is provided on the sealing part 17, and the first through hole 7 connects to the water outlet cavity 5 through the installation hole 13.

The sealing pressure edge 16 is provided at the top of the connecting part 22.

[0041] The top of the sealing element 3 is provided with a sealing edge 18. A water outlet cavity 5 is formed between the sealing edge 18, the sealing part 17 and the upper edge 19 of the cover 2. The sealing edge 18 is sealed (interference fit) with the upper edge 19 of the cover 2. When an external force is applied to the sealing edge 18 (i.e. when the user presses his or her lips against the sealing edge 18), the sealing edge 18 disengages from the upper edge 19 of the cover 2, so that an opening is formed between the sealing edge 18 and the upper edge 19 of the cover 2. The water outlet cavity 5 is connected to the outside through the opening, thereby forming a water flow passage from the inner cavity 4 to the user's mouth, and thus realizing drinking water.
