Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spout and lid technology, and in particular to a water bottle lid with an integrated smart spout and a cycling water bottle with the lid. Background Technology
[0002] Water bottles are indispensable items in daily life, especially for cycling enthusiasts. A well-designed, easy-to-use, and airtight water bottle is crucial. However, existing water bottle cap designs still fall short in meeting the specific needs of cyclists.
[0003] First, during cycling, riders often need to operate the water bottle with one hand to maintain stability. This means the water bottle design must be ergonomic enough to allow for quick and safe drinking without diverting attention from controlling the bicycle. However, some existing designs are not ergonomic enough, with cumbersome opening and closing processes that sometimes require both hands. This not only increases the rider's burden but also introduces potential safety risks.
[0004] Secondly, poor sealing performance is also a common problem. Although some products have good functionality, they are prone to leakage after long-term use, especially under violent shaking or inversion.
[0005] Furthermore, traditional water bottle caps typically consist of multiple parts, and the connections between these parts may not be tight enough, easily leading to leaks or poor seals. In addition, the complex structure increases manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty. Therefore, there is a high market demand for water bottle caps that are simple in structure, easy to use, and have excellent sealing performance. This demand stems not only from the requirements of ordinary consumers for product quality and user experience, but also from the specific functional needs of certain user groups such as cyclists.
[0006] To address this issue, a water bottle cap with an integrated smart spout and a cycling water bottle with the cap are proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a water bottle cap with an integrated smart spout and a cycling water bottle with the cap, which enables one-handed operation through a simplified design, ensuring that cyclists can conveniently drink water without sacrificing cycling stability; it provides reliable sealing to prevent leakage even under extreme conditions, ensuring the safety and comfort of the cyclist; and it adopts an integrated design to reduce the number of parts, reduce production costs, and improve the durability and reliability of the product.
[0008] This utility model discloses a kettle lid with an integrated smart spout, specifically including a kettle lid and a flexible spout, wherein the spout can be slidably fitted onto a stopper holder on the kettle lid. The kettle lid has a stopper holder extending through both the inside and outside of the lid, with a groove formed between the bottom of the stopper holder and the kettle lid. The stopper holder has spaced-apart locking holes in its center, with a conical head above each locking hole. The bottom of the spout forms an inner ring to seal the groove, and spaced-apart locking blocks are provided inside the spout for installation at the locking holes. Above each locking block is a conical sealing part that mates with the conical head, and above the conical sealing part is a valve body with a valve plate in the center for opening and closing the spout. This design achieves both water dispensing and sealing functions for the kettle lid using only the spout, simplifying the structure and improving ease of use.
[0009] Further description of the aforementioned scheme: the top of the plug holder is a sealing platform, which is arranged parallel to the valve plate. The sealing platform can fit against the valve plate, and the combination of the two can provide a more tight sealing effect.
[0010] Furthermore, the stopper is located in the center of the lid, and the locking hole is installed in a guide rail-like manner with the locking block of the spout. The locking hole is used to connect the inside and outside of the lid, so that water can be sprayed out from the locking hole.
[0011] Furthermore, the lid is also provided with threads for installation with the body of the pot, and the top of the threads is provided with flexible fins. The threads and fins wrap around and seal the top of the pot body, achieving a better sealing effect.
[0012] Furthermore, the spout is also provided with a ring-shaped groove on the outside, making it convenient for users to pull out the spout.
[0013] Even better, the valve body is bowl-shaped, with the bottom divided into several valve plates.
[0014] When the bottom of the spout abuts against the bottom of the groove on the lid, the bottom of the valve plate coincides with the surface of the sealing platform, and the conical head blocks the conical sealing part to seal the water outlet. At this time, squeezing the kettle body still will not release water. After the spout is pulled out, the top of the spout's locking block abuts against the top of the locking hole, and the inside of the lid is connected to the valve body through the locking hole. When the kettle body is squeezed, the water flow is sprayed out from the locking hole, the conical sealing part, and the valve body in sequence.
[0015] This utility model also discloses a cycling water bottle, including the aforementioned water bottle cap with an integrated smart spout, the cap being threadedly sealed to the bottle body. A concave grip portion is provided around the bottle body for easy handling.
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides a kettle lid with an integrated smart spout, reducing the connection problems common in traditional multi-part kettle lids, decreasing the number of parts, lowering production costs, and improving product durability and reliability. The spout has an inner retaining ring at its bottom for a tight fit with the lid's groove. Internally, there are spaced-out locking blocks and conical sealing components, ensuring excellent sealing performance whether the lid is stationary or in motion. When the spout is fully embedded in the lid, the valve plate aligns with the sealing platform, and the conical head blocks the conical sealing part, achieving multiple sealing protections and effectively preventing leakage.
[0017] The spout has a ring-shaped groove on the outside, making it easy for users to pull out, allowing for quick and safe drinking even while cycling, thus improving convenience and safety.
[0018] The lid features threads and flexible flaps along its edge, enhancing the seal between the lid and the kettle body while providing better ease of installation and stability. Furthermore, the spout is made of a soft material for a comfortable grip, further improving the user experience.
[0019] This cycling water bottle is specially designed with cyclists' needs in mind. The bottle features recessed grips on the sides, allowing cyclists to hold it more securely and easily access and return it while cycling. It can be operated with one hand via the spout and lid, enabling quick drinking and sealing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0032] 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, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment discloses a kettle lid with an integrated smart spout, consisting of a lid 2 and a spout 1. The spout 1 is made of soft silicone material and can be slidably installed along the stopper bracket 21 on the lid 2. An inner retaining ring 12 is provided at the bottom of the spout 1 to achieve a tight fit with the groove 22 of the lid 2, thus achieving a seal between the spout 1 and the lid 2. Figure 4As shown, the spout 1 has intermittently spaced locking blocks 13 for mounting at the locking holes 23 in the middle of the stopper holder 21. Above the locking blocks 13 is a conical sealing portion 14, which cooperates with the conical head 24 at the top of the stopper holder 21 to ensure a tight seal when the spout 1 is closed. Above the conical sealing portion 14 is a valve body 151, with a valve plate 15 in the center for opening and closing the spout 1. In this embodiment, there are four valve plates 15, cut apart by a cross groove. Figure 5 or Figure 8 As shown, when the spout 1 is fully embedded in the lid 2, the bottom of the valve plate 15 coincides with the surface of the sealing platform 25 on the top of the lid 2, and the conical head 24 blocks the conical sealing part 14, thus achieving multiple sealing protections.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the lid 2 has threads on its edge for connection with the body 3, and a flexible flap 26 on its top. These designs enhance the seal between the lid 2 and the body 3 and facilitate installation. The spout 1 has an annular groove 11 on its exterior for easy removal by the user. Furthermore, the valve body 151 is bowl-shaped, with its bottom divided into multiple independent valve plates 15. The lid 2 is made of food-grade safe materials, ensuring the product's hygiene and safety. The spout 1 is made of a material with good elasticity, maintaining its shape even with frequent use and without affecting the sealing effect. Example 2
[0036] Based on the aforementioned water bottle cap with an integrated smart spout, this embodiment discloses a cycling water bottle specifically designed for cyclists, such as... Figure 9 , 10 As shown, this water bottle features a compact and lightweight design, making it ideal for long-distance cycling. The bottle body 3 has recessed grips 31 on its sides, allowing cyclists to hold the bottle more securely and easily access and return it during rides. This design not only increases grip comfort but also improves cycling safety. The lid 2 is threadedly sealed to the bottle body 3, ensuring the stability and sealing performance of the overall structure.
[0037] To gain a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model, its principles will be further explained below in conjunction with its usage.
[0038] In a non-use state, such as Figure 5 , 8 As shown, when the spout 1 is fully embedded in the lid 2, the bottom of the valve plate 15 coincides with the surface of the sealing platform 25 on the top of the lid 2, the conical head 24 blocks the conical sealing part 14, and the bottom of the spout 1 abuts against the bottom of the groove 22 of the lid 2, thus achieving multiple seals.
[0039] When you need to drink water, such as Figure 6 , 7As shown, the spout 1 is pulled out a certain distance through the mouth until the top of the locking block 13 abuts against the top of the locking hole 23. At this time, the inside of the lid 2 is connected to the valve body 151 through the locking hole 23. When the kettle body 3 is squeezed, water flows out sequentially from the locking hole 23, the conical sealing part 14, and the valve body 151, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, the water flow opens the valve plate 15, and the water sprays out. When the pressing stops, the valve plate 15 rebounds, achieving a seal on the valve body 151. If the spout 1 is pushed back to the bottom of the lid 2, the conical head 24 blocks the conical sealing part 14 again, achieving multiple seals. At this time, pressing the body 3 will prevent the water from spraying out from the valve body 151.
[0040] In conclusion, this kettle is easy and reliable to operate, which not only improves the convenience and reliability of use, but also greatly enhances the product's sealing performance and user satisfaction.
