Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cup technology, specifically referring to a cup lid with fragrance. Background Technology
[0002] The human body needs to replenish 2000 to 2500 ml of water daily to maintain physiological functions, increasing to 3000 ml in summer to cope with greater water loss. However, water is tasteless, and people often lack the motivation to drink it, especially children who prefer sweet drinks. Children often like sweet or flavorful beverages, but excessive intake of fructose, carbon dioxide, and additives in these drinks may be detrimental to health. While fructose provides energy, excessive intake can lead to obesity and diabetes. The acidic substances in carbonated drinks can erode teeth, and long-term consumption may cause osteoporosis. Excessive additives can enhance the taste of beverages, but excessive intake of chemicals is also harmful. A water cup on the market has appeared that enhances the drinking experience by tricking the brain, with a fragrance attached to the straw. Flavor rings work by inhaling aromatic air while drinking. The olfactory signal is transmitted to the brain, which then imagines the flavor. Even plain water becomes flavorful, creating the illusion of drinking fruit juice and increasing our desire to drink more water to ensure we get enough each day. However, most flavor rings on the market are designed to be attached to straws or flip-tops. If the flavor ring is on the straw, people can easily come into direct contact with the straw with their mouths, which can lead to cross-contamination and hygiene problems. On the other hand, if the flavor ring is on the flip-top, the flip-top needs to be opened to drink, which moves the flavor ring away from the drinking area, preventing the aroma from fully dispersing into the water and affecting the drinking experience. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple cup lid that adds fragrance and flavor to drinking water, thereby enhancing the taste.
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:
[0005] A scented cup lid includes a bottom cover and a flip cover hinged to the rear end of the bottom cover. The bottom cover has a through-hole drinking spout, which can be a direct drinking spout or a straw spout. The bottom cover has recessed mounting grooves located on the side of the drinking spout. A scented component is provided in the mounting groove. The scented component includes a connecting part and a snap-fit part. The connecting part is located at the lower end of the snap-fit part and passes through the mounting groove. A step is provided at the opening of the mounting groove, and the snap-fit part snaps into the step.
[0006] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided on the side of the stepped portion, and a limiting part is provided around the periphery of the connecting portion, with the limiting groove and the limiting part engaging with each other.
[0007] Furthermore, the rear end of the flip cover is provided with an upper connector, and the rear end of the bottom cover is provided with a lower connector. The upper connector and the lower connector are hinged to each other, and the upper connector can rotate relative to the lower connector, so that the flip cover can rotate relative to the bottom cover.
[0008] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the hinge joint between the upper and lower connectors, and the front end of the handle is connected to the hinge joint.
[0009] Furthermore, an opening component is movably provided on the bottom cover, and a snap-fit block is formed at the upper end of the opening component. A snap-fit groove adapted to the snap-fit block is formed on the flip cover. The snap-fit block and the snap-fit groove are snapped together.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments:
[0026] A scented cup lid includes a bottom cover 1 and a flip cover 2 hinged to the rear end of the bottom cover 1. The bottom cover 1 has a drinking spout 3 formed through the top and bottom. The drinking spout 3 can be a direct drinking spout or a straw spout. The bottom cover 1 has mounting grooves 4 formed in the top and bottom. The mounting grooves 4 are located on the side of the drinking spout 3. A scented element 5 is provided in the mounting grooves 4.
[0027] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple, aroma-enhancing cup lid that adds fragrance to drinking water, thereby improving the taste. It consists of a base lid 1 and a flip-top 2 hinged to the rear of the base lid 1. The base lid 1 has a through-hole 3 for drinking, which can be either a direct drinking spout or a straw spout to meet different user needs. Recessed mounting grooves 4 are formed in the upper and lower parts of the base lid 1, located on the side of the drinking spout 3. An aromatherapy element 5 is housed within the mounting groove 4. This invention cleverly places the aromatherapy element 5, designed to "deceive" the brain, on the base lid 1. The mounting groove 4 for the aromatherapy element 5 is recessed. When hot water is placed in the cup, the temperature of the hot water is conducted through the bottom of the mounting groove 4 to the aromatherapy element 5, causing the temperature of the aromatherapy element 5 to gradually rise. As the temperature of the aromatherapy element 5 gradually increases, according to molecular... Based on the principle of motion, the aroma molecules inside the aroma diffuser 5 become more active. As the activity level of these aroma molecules increases, they are more fully released from the aroma diffuser 5, permeating the surrounding air and filling the entire space with a pleasant fragrance. Utilizing the heat of hot water makes the aroma diffuser process smoother and more efficient, while also extending the lifespan of the aroma diffuser 5 and ensuring the persistence and stability of the fragrance. Furthermore, the mounting slot 4 is located on the side of the drinking spout 3, which does not affect the function of the drinking spout 3. The aroma diffuser 5 inside the mounting slot 4 can emit a light fragrance, bringing a pleasant user experience. Whether for work, study, or leisure time, this fragranced cup lid can provide users with a unique enjoyment. The fragrance of the aroma diffuser 5 can be selected according to personal preferences to meet the personalized needs of different users.
[0028] Preferably, the aromatherapy component 5 includes a connecting part 6 and a snap-fit part 7. The connecting part 6 is located at the lower end of the snap-fit part 7 and passes through the mounting groove 4. The mounting groove 4 has a stepped part 8 at the opening. The snap-fit part 7 snaps into the stepped part 8. The presence of the stepped part 8 allows the snap-fit part 7 to snap into it, thereby further enhancing the stability of the aromatherapy component 5. This not only ensures the stability of the aromatherapy component 5 during use but also facilitates installation and disassembly, improving the overall ease of use. This allows the aromatherapy component 5 to be more reliably fixed in the predetermined position, thus fulfilling its intended function.
[0029] Preferably, the side of the stepped portion 8 is provided with a limiting groove 9, and the periphery of the connecting portion 6 is provided with a limiting portion 10. The limiting groove 9 and the limiting portion 10 are engaged with each other. Through precise matching design, the limiting groove 9 and the limiting portion 10 can achieve the function of engaging with each other, which not only improves the reliability of the connection, but also ensures the stability of the structure during use, and can effectively prevent the structure from displacing or loosening when subjected to external forces.
[0030] Preferably, the rear end of the flip cover 2 is provided with an upper connector 11, and the rear end of the bottom cover 1 is provided with a lower connector 12. The upper connector 11 and the lower connector 12 are hinged to each other. The upper connector 11 can rotate relative to the lower connector 12, so that the flip cover 2 can rotate relative to the bottom cover 1. This not only improves the ease of use of the device, but also enhances the stability and durability of the overall structure.
[0031] Preferably, the hinge joint between the upper connector 11 and the lower connector 12 is further provided with a handle 13, the front end of which is connected to the hinge joint, so that the user can more easily lift and move the water cup during use.
[0032] Preferably, the bottom cover 1 is movably provided with an opening member 14, the upper end of the opening member 14 is formed with a locking block 16, and the flip cover 2 is formed with a locking groove 15 adapted to the locking block 16. The locking block 16 and the locking groove 15 are locked together. The opening member 14 is provided with a rotating shaft in the middle, and the two sides of the rotating shaft are connected to the bottom cover 1. The opening member 14 rotates around the rotating shaft. Pressing the lower end of the opening member 14 causes the opening member 14 to open. The upper end rotates outward until the latching block 16 disengages from the latching groove 15. When the flip cover 2 and the bottom cover 1 are tightly closed, the aroma molecules in the aroma diffuser 5 will not come into excessive contact with the outside air, effectively slowing down the evaporation rate of the aroma and ensuring that the fragrance of the diffuser can be emitted for a longer period of time. When it is necessary to open the flip cover 2, the user only needs to press the lower end of the opening part 14. As the pressure increases, the opening part 14 will rotate around the pivot. As the rotation continues, the upper end of the opening part 14 will gradually rotate outward. When it rotates to a certain extent, the latching block 16 will disengage from the latching groove 15, so that the flip cover 2 can be opened smoothly and easily without complicated mechanical structures or cumbersome operating steps.
[0033] Preferably, the opening member 14 is provided with a locking member 17. The locking member 17 is arranged around the top of the opening member 14 and is locked to the flip cover 2. Rotating the locking member 17 to disengage from the flip cover 2 and thus release the lock can effectively prevent the cup lid from being accidentally opened due to accidental contact or other external forces under inappropriate circumstances, such as during carrying or placement, thus ensuring the safety and sealing of the liquid inside the cup.
[0034] Preferably, the bottom cover 1 is also provided with an exhaust hole 18, which is arranged adjacent to the aromatherapy component 5 to ensure that the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy can be smoothly diffused into the entire space through these exhaust holes 18. This not only improves the effect of the aromatherapy but also ensures air circulation, making the fragrance more uniform and longer lasting.
[0035] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
