[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1-10 As shown, a lid with an operable spout includes a lid 1 and a spout assembly 2 on the lid 1. The lid 1 is equipped with a venting component 3. The lid 1 is used in conjunction with a container, and the liquid in the container is drunk through the spout assembly 2. During continuous drinking, negative pressure is generated. To ensure continuous drinking, outside air can enter the container through the venting component 3 to balance the pressure difference between the inside and outside. The lid 1 has a cavity 4 for the movement of the spout assembly 2. A driving component 5 is installed inside the cavity 4, and the spout assembly 2 is movably installed within the driving component 5, which drives the spout assembly 2 to move up and down. A sliding cover 35 is also included, mounted above the driving component 5. The sliding cover 35 is linked to the driving component 5, and the driving component 5 has a through hole 9 for the spout assembly 2 to pass through. The sliding cover 35 slides to open or close the passage.

[0033] The spout assembly 2 includes an open mode and a close mode: In the open mode, the sliding cover 35 is slid to open the through hole 9, and then the drive component 5 is manually rotated. The drive component 5 moves the spout assembly 2 upward, passing through the through hole 9 and protruding above the cover 1, allowing the spout assembly 2 to be used to drink the liquid in the container; In the close mode, the drive component 5 is manually rotated, causing the spout assembly 2 to move downward and hide in the cavity 4, and then the sliding cover 35 is slid to close the through hole 9. This utility model controls the opening and closing of the spout assembly 2 by manually rotating the drive component 5. When drinking, the spout assembly 2 rises on the cover 1, and when not drinking, it descends and hides in the cavity 4. The operation is convenient, and there is no need to use a top cover to close the spout assembly 2, saving materials and increasing the volume of liquid that the container can hold at the same height.

[0034] Traditional lids commonly come in two types: flip-top and screw-top. Compared to traditional flip-top lids, this invention allows the spout assembly 2 to be opened at multiple angles for drinking, avoiding the risk of the face touching the flip-top while drinking. Compared to traditional screw-top lids, it does not need to be removed, thus preventing loss.

[0035] The driving component 5 includes a cap 6 and a driving housing 7. The cap 1 has a cap mounting groove 8, and the cap is rotatably installed in the cap mounting groove 8. After assembly, the cap 6 is flush with the cap 1. The driving housing 7 is rotatably installed in the cavity 4. The cap 6 and the driving housing 7 are locked together. Rotating the cap 6 drives the driving housing 7 to rotate synchronously. The locking method between the driving housing 7 and the cap includes locking blocks and locking slots. The suction nozzle assembly 2 is installed in the driving housing 7. The cap 6 has a through hole 9 through which the suction nozzle assembly 2 can pass. When opened, the suction nozzle assembly 2 moves upward and passes through the through hole 9, protruding above the cap 6. A movable part 10 is provided between the cavity 4 and the suction nozzle assembly 2. When the driving component 5 rotates, the movable part 10 drives the lifting and lowering of the suction nozzle assembly 2. Rotating the driving component 5 clockwise raises the suction nozzle assembly 2, and rotating the driving component 5 counterclockwise lowers the suction nozzle assembly 2.

[0036] The movable part 10 includes a movable groove 11 extending upward in an arc shape from bottom to top on the inner wall of the cavity 4, a guide groove 12 on the side wall of the drive housing 7, and movable blocks 13 extending through the guide groove 12 on both sides of the suction assembly 2. The movable blocks 13 are adapted to the movable groove 11 and are snapped into the movable groove 11. When the drive housing 7 rotates, a force is applied to the movable blocks 13 to one side through the guide groove 12. The movable blocks 13 move along the arc-shaped upward trajectory of the movable groove 11, thereby realizing the lifting of the suction assembly 2. The structure is relatively simple. The width of the guide groove 12 is equal to that of the movable blocks 13. When rotating, the movable blocks 13 are always located in the guide groove 12. When the suction assembly 2 is raised or lowered, the movable blocks 13 also move up and down in the guide groove 12, playing a guiding role.

[0037] The suction nozzle assembly 2 includes a guide tube 14 and a suction nozzle 15 that is fitted onto the guide tube 14 and can move up and down. The guide tube 14 is always inside the drive housing 7, and its lifting and lowering are achieved by the up and down displacement of the suction nozzle 15. The inner wall of the bottom of the suction nozzle 15 is provided with a concave sealing groove 16, and a sealing ring 17 is provided in the sealing groove 16 to increase the sealing between the guide tube 14 and the suction nozzle 15, and to prevent the liquid in the container from overflowing from the gap between the guide tube 14 and the suction nozzle 15 when it passes through the guide tube 14.

[0038] The lower end of the guide tube 14 is provided with a limiting step 18, which is located at the bottom of the cavity 4. The drive shell 7 and the suction nozzle 15 are placed on the limiting step 18 to increase the stability of the suction nozzle assembly 2 and prevent it from tipping over after prolonged use. The limiting step 18 is provided with several annularly distributed notches 19. The bottom of the drive shell 7 is provided with corresponding locking blocks 20. When the drive shell 7 and the suction nozzle assembly 2 are assembled, the locking blocks 20 are engaged in the notches 19. When the drive shell 7 rotates, the locking blocks 20 can also provide a force to drive the guide tube 14 to rotate, which helps the suction nozzle assembly 2 to rotate and rise.

[0039] The bottom of the cavity 4 is provided with a downwardly extending assembly groove 21. The end of the guide tube 14 passes through the bottom of the drive housing 7 and the cavity 4 and is snapped into the assembly groove 21. The end of the guide tube 14 is rotatably installed in the assembly groove 21. The bottom of the guide tube 14 is provided with a downwardly extending sealing element 22. The bottom of the assembly groove 21 is provided with an opening 23. The sealing element 22 passes through the opening 23 and is rotatably snapped into the opening 23 to form a seal, preventing liquid in the container from entering the assembly groove 21 through the opening 23.

[0040] The seal 22 has a slit 42. Squeezing the seal 22 closes the slit 42 on both sides, reducing the diameter of the seal 22 and releasing it from the locking state with the opening 23. After removing the cap 6, the suction nozzle assembly 2 can be pulled upwards for easy cleaning, preventing dirt from accumulating inside after long-term use. The seal 22, due to its soft rubber material, has a spring-like elasticity and can return to its original position after detaching from the slit 42.

[0041] The sealing element 22 is provided with a rib ring 24 that engages with the opening 23. The rib ring 24 further enhances the sealing performance between the sealing element 22 and the opening 23. The rib ring 24 is provided with a guide surface 25, which is an inclined surface. During the process of the sealing element 22 passing through the opening 23, the inner wall of the opening 23 moves along the guide surface 25, which helps with assembly. After the assembly is completed, the top surface of the rib ring 24 fits against the bottom surface of the opening 23, forming a good sealing effect.

[0042] The assembly slot 21 has an openable first water inlet 26 on one side, and a second water inlet 27 on the side wall of the guide tube 14. When the nozzle assembly 2 is rotated to open, the nozzle 14 rises and protrudes above the cap 6. The guide tube 14 rotates until the second water inlet 27 aligns with the first water inlet 26. Liquid in the container can enter the guide tube 14 through the first water inlet 26 and the second water inlet 27, and finally be dispensed from the nozzle 15 for drinking. When the nozzle assembly 2 is rotated to close, the nozzle 15 descends and retracts into the drive housing 7. The guide tube 14 also rotates accordingly and closes the first water inlet 26, preventing liquid in the container from entering the first water inlet 26.

[0043] A sealing ring 28 is provided between the assembly groove 21 and the guide pipe 14. The sealing ring 28 is fitted onto the guide pipe 14, and the top of the sealing ring 28 is positioned below the limiting step 18. The sealing ring 28 is used to increase the sealing performance of the first water inlet 26, and also further increases the sealing performance of the opening 23. If the liquid in the container accidentally passes through the seal between the seal 22 and the opening 23, the sealing ring 28 provides a second layer of sealing. The sealing ring 28 has a hole 29 corresponding to the second water inlet 27. When the sealing ring 28 is fitted onto the guide pipe 14, the hole 29 corresponds to the second water inlet. The sealing ring 28 rotates synchronously with the guide pipe 14. When the nozzle assembly 2 is opened, the hole 29 rotates until it is aligned with the first water inlet 26. The liquid in the container enters the guide pipe 14 in sequence through the first water inlet 26, the hole 29, and the second water inlet 27, and finally exits through the nozzle 15 for drinking. When the nozzle assembly 2 is closed, the sealing ring 28 blocks the first water inlet 26.

[0044] The sealing ring 28 is provided with a first sealing rib 30 and a second sealing rib 31, which are located at the upper and lower ends of the first water inlet 26, respectively, to further enhance the sealing effect between the sealing ring 28 and the first water inlet 26.

[0045] The bottom of the cavity 4 is provided with a hollow connecting post 32, which is located outside the assembly groove 21. A straw adapter 33 is threaded onto the connecting post 32, and a straw can be installed on the straw adapter 33 for use. A toggle piece 34 is provided on the side wall of the straw adapter 33, which makes it easy to rotate the toggle piece 34 to disassemble the straw adapter 33 for cleaning.

[0046] The screw cap 6 has a sliding cap mounting groove 36, and the sliding cap 35 is slidably installed in the sliding cap mounting groove 36. The sliding cap 35 is slidable and limited by a slider and a groove, and rotates with the screw cap 6. When drinking, slide the sliding cap 35 to one side to disengage it from the through hole 9, and the mouthpiece 15 can pass through the through hole 9 and rise above the screw cap 6. When not drinking, rotate to lower the mouthpiece 15, and then slide the sliding cap 35 to close the through hole 9, preventing the liquid inside from overflowing and also preventing external dust from entering. The two ends of the sliding cap 35 are respectively provided with a first pushing part 37 and a second pushing part 38. The first pushing part 37 and the second pushing part 38 are inclined surfaces with different directions. Pressing the first pushing part 37 or the second pushing part 38 is used to push the sliding cap 35 to slide, which is used to slide the sliding cap 35 outward or inward, respectively, to prevent the fingers from slipping during sliding.

[0047] The sliding cover mounting groove 36 is provided with a lower magnetic component a40 and a lower magnetic component b41, which are in the same horizontal direction. The bottom of the sliding cover 35 is provided with an upper magnetic component 39. When the sliding cover 35 is closed, the upper magnetic component 39 and the lower magnetic component a40 attract each other to close the through hole 9, thus limiting the sliding cover 35 by magnetic attraction and preventing it from opening when not in use. Manually sliding the sliding cover 35 to one side disengages the attracting upper magnetic component 39 from the lower magnetic component a40 until the upper magnetic component 39 attracts the lower magnetic component b41, which limits the sliding cover 35 when it is open. At this time, the through hole 9 is in the open state.

[0048] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
