Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a cup cover and a water cup. BACKGROUND
[0002] Many conventional cup covers are relatively cumbersome to open and close. For example, some cup covers with a press valve require the user to press the valve to dispense water, which is not convenient for some users with less strength or in some special scenarios. Some cup covers with a rotary opening and closing function need to be rotated by a certain angle to open or close, which is not intuitive and fast. In addition, some conventional cup covers have a complex structure to achieve better sealing and opening and closing functions, which includes multiple components. This not only increases the production cost and assembly difficulty, but also may reduce the reliability of the cup cover and cause damage or loss of components.
[0003] However, the inventors have found that the related art at least has the following technical problems: the opening operation of the water outlet of the cup cover is not convenient, and the structure is relatively complex. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0004] An object of the present application is to provide a cup cover and a water cup, at least to solve the above problems.
[0005] To achieve the above object, some embodiments of the present application provide a cup cover, comprising:
[0006] A cover plate is configured with a water outlet, and is configured with a sliding groove distributed on opposite sides of the water outlet.
[0007] A switch member is slidingly connected in the sliding groove of the cover plate to open and close the water outlet.
[0008] The side of the switch member facing the water outlet is provided with a silica gel layer, and the silica gel layer can cover the water outlet to seal the water outlet when the water outlet is closed.
[0009] Some embodiments of the present application also provide a water cup comprising the cup cover provided in the foregoing embodiments.
[0010] Compared with the related art, in the scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application, the opening and closing of the water outlet of the cup cover are realized by the sliding groove on the cover plate and the slidable switch member. In addition, compared with the conventional water blocking structure (such as a rotary cover or a buckle), the scheme has the advantages of convenient operation and simple structure. The silica gel layer on the switch member directly contacts the water outlet to form a physical seal, which can seal the water outlet when it is closed, effectively prevent liquid leakage, ensure reliable water blocking performance, and protect the sealing performance of the cup cover.

[0032] The term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between objects, which means that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B, the three relationships.
[0033] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0034] In combination Figures 1 to 9 As shown in the drawings, the cup cover provided by the present disclosure comprises a cover plate 10 and a switch piece 20. The cover plate 10 is configured with a water outlet 101 and is configured with a chute 102 distributed on the opposite sides of the water outlet 101. The switch piece 20 is slidingly connected in the chute 102 of the cover plate 10 to open and close the water outlet 101. The side of the switch piece 20 facing the water outlet 101 is provided with a silica gel layer 30, and the silica gel layer 30 can cover the water outlet 101 to seal the water outlet 101 when the water outlet 101 is closed.
[0035] The cup cover provided by the present disclosure realizes the opening and closing of the water outlet 101 of the cup cover through the chute 102 on the cover plate 10 and the sliding switch piece 20. In addition, compared with the traditional water blocking structure (such as a screw cap, a buckle), it has the advantages of convenient operation and simple structure. The silica gel layer 30 on the switch piece 20 directly contacts the water outlet 101 to form a physical seal, which can seal the water outlet 101 when it is closed, effectively prevent liquid leakage, ensure reliable water blocking performance, and protect the sealing performance of the cup cover.
[0036] In actual application, when the switch piece 20 closes the water outlet 101, the silica gel layer 30 contacts the outer plate surface of the cover plate 10 to seal the water outlet 101.
[0037] It should be noted that the two sides of the switch piece 20 are slidingly connected in the chute 102 to further limit the sliding path of the switch piece 20 and prevent the switch piece 20 from sliding out.
[0038] In some embodiments, the water outlet 101 is a circular hole or an elliptical hole. In the case of an elliptical hole, the long axis direction of the elliptical water outlet 101 is consistent with the sliding direction of the switch piece 20 to save the size of the switch piece 20 and make the switch piece 20 more matched with the water outlet 101.
[0039] Optionally, the switch piece 20 and the silica gel layer 30 are an integral structure. In some embodiments, the switch piece 20 and the silica gel layer 30 can be connected by gluing, clamping, or integrally injection molding.
[0040] The present embodiment provides a stable track for the sliding of the switch piece 20 through the chute 102, ensuring that the switch piece 20 can smoothly and accurately slide on the cover plate 10, thereby realizing reliable opening and closing operation.
[0041] Optionally, the sliding groove 102 is formed by recessing inwardly from the outer plate surface of the cover plate 10. It is to be noted that, in the case of the sliding groove 102 being formed by recessing inwardly from the outer plate surface of the cover plate 10, the cross section of the sliding groove 102 is in the shape of an inverted T or L, and the portion of the switch piece 20 connected with the sliding groove 102 is adapted to the shape of the sliding groove 102. In this way, the switch piece 20 can be prevented from being pulled out upwardly from the sliding groove 102. The switch piece 20 is limited by the horizontal arm portion of the T-shaped / L-shaped sliding groove 102.
[0042] In addition, by forming the sliding groove 102 by recessing inwardly from the outer plate surface of the cover plate 10, not only can the switch piece 20 be precisely guided, but also the space at the top of the cover plate 10 can be saved.
[0043] Optionally, the sliding groove 102 is formed by protruding outwardly from the outer plate surface of the cover plate 10. At this time, the outer plate surface of the cover plate 10 is formed with a fixed portion protruding outwardly, and the sliding groove 102 is formed in the fixed portion. The openings of the two sliding grooves 102 on the two sides of the switch piece 20 are oppositely arranged, so that the switch piece 20 can not only ensure its sliding track by the two sliding grooves 102 on the two sides, but also be limited and prevented from falling off by the two sliding grooves 102 on the two sides.
[0044] In addition, by forming the sliding groove 102 by protruding outwardly from the outer plate surface of the cover plate 10, not only can the switch piece 20 be precisely guided, but also the structural strength of the sliding groove 102 can be enhanced.
[0045] Optionally, the switch piece 20 comprises: a main body in the shape of a plate, in particular a strip; and a first bent portion 201 bent and extended from the edge of the main body to form a containing cavity 202 with the main body to mount the silica gel layer 30. The inner wall of the first bent portion 201 is formed with a limiting groove 203, so that part of the silica gel layer 30 is embedded in the limiting groove 203 to prevent the silica gel layer 30 from falling off.
[0046] The main body of the switch piece 20 is in the shape of a plate, which is simple and easy to manufacture. The containing cavity 202 formed by the first bent portion 201 and the main body provides mounting space for the silica gel layer 30, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the silica gel layer 30. The limiting groove 203 is arranged to form a fitting structure between the silica gel layer 30 and the switch piece 20, which prevents the silica gel layer 30 from falling off after long-term use and ensures the stability and reliability of the sealing.
[0047] The main body in the shape of a strip not only helps to match the water outlet 101 and save materials, but also helps to be aesthetically pleasing.
[0048] It is to be noted that the edges of the main body on the opposite sides are bent to form the first bent portions 201, respectively, and the openings of the limiting grooves 203 formed by the two first bent portions 201 on the two sides are oppositely arranged to well mount the silica gel layer 30.
[0049] The first bending part 201 bends from the edge of the main body to the cover plate 10, so that the silica gel layer 30 in the accommodating cavity 202 faces the cover plate 10. Not only the purpose of sealing the water outlet 101 by the silica gel layer 30 is achieved, but also the silica gel layer 30 can be effectively prevented from falling off, so that the silica gel layer 30 is always in the accommodating cavity 202 formed by the switch element 20.
[0050] Optionally, the length of the first bending part 201 is equal to the length of the main body. Optionally, the length of the limiting groove 203 is equal to the length of the first bending part 201. In this way, the stability and firmness of the connection between the silica gel layer 30 and the switch element 20 are improved.
[0051] Optionally, the switch element 20 further comprises a sliding part 204 which is bent outward from the edge of the first bending part 201 and is matched with the sliding groove 102. The switch element 20 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 102 through the sliding part 204.
[0052] The sliding part 204 makes the cooperation between the switch element 20 and the sliding groove 102 more closely and accurately, further improves the smoothness and stability of the sliding of the switch element 20, and ensures that there is no deviation or jamming phenomenon in the sliding process; at the same time, it helps to improve the sealing performance in the closed state.
[0053] Regardless of whether the sliding groove 102 is recessed inward from the outer plate surface of the cover plate 10 or protrudes outward from the outer plate surface of the cover plate 10, the shape of the sliding part 204 is matched with the shape (inverted T shape / L shape / concave shape) of the sliding groove 102, which improves the stability of the connection between the two, and avoids the sliding part 204 from falling off the sliding groove 102.
[0054] Optionally, the sliding part 204 is arranged along the length direction of the switch element 20, and the length of the sliding part 204 is equal to the length of the switch element 20. In this way, in the case of the sliding connection between the sliding part 204 and the sliding groove 102, the contact area between the switch element 20 and the sliding groove 102 is improved, thereby improving the stability and firmness of the connection between the two.
[0055] Optionally, the outer surface of the main body of the switch element 20 protrudes a knob 205, so as to push the switch element 20 by applying force to the knob 205.
[0056] The knob 205 provides a convenient force application position for the user, making it easier and more convenient to push the switch element 20, and improving the user experience. For example, the user pushes the switch element 20 with fingers, improving the operation comfort.
[0057] Optionally, two opposite force receiving surfaces in the knob 205 are arc-shaped. In this way, on the one hand, the arc-shaped knob 205 can better match the arc of the user's fingers, improving the use experience; on the other hand, it helps to make the force received by the knob 205 uniform, and better transmit the force to the main body of the switch element 20, making it easier to push the switch element 20.
[0058] Optionally, the knob 205 is located at one end of the switch piece 20. For example, the knob 205 is located at a side away from the water outlet 101. In this way, the knob 205 does not interfere with the user or the cup when drinking water.
[0059] Optionally, the outer surface of the main body of the switch piece 20 is configured with a corrugated structure 206 to increase the friction when pushing the switch piece 20.
[0060] The corrugated structure 206 increases the friction of the outer surface of the switch piece 20, preventing slipping when pushing the switch piece 20, and further improving the convenience and reliability of operation. For example, the corrugated structure 206 increases the friction between the finger and the switch piece 20, preventing slipping when operating with wet hands, and enhancing the safety of use.
[0061] The wave lines in the corrugated structure 206 intersect the sliding path of the switch piece 20. Preferably, the wave lines in the corrugated structure 206 are perpendicular to the sliding path of the switch piece 20. In this way, not only can the friction be increased, but also the force on the switch piece 20 is uniform when pushing the switch piece 20.
[0062] Optionally, the cover plate 10 is provided with a stop portion 40 at the end of the sliding groove 102 to prevent the switch piece 20 from sliding out.
[0063] The stop portion 40 effectively prevents the switch piece 20 from sliding out of the cover plate 10 during sliding, avoiding the risk of loss or damage of the switch piece 20, and ensuring the integrity and functionality of the cup cover.
[0064] In some embodiments, the stop portion 40 protrudes upward from the outer surface of the cover plate 10 and is higher than the sliding groove 102, so that the switch piece 20 can be stopped from sliding out of the sliding groove 102.
[0065] Optionally, the stop portion 40 can be block-shaped or plate-shaped.
[0066] Optionally, the stop portion 40 can be located at the edge of the cover plate 10, or the stop portion 40 can be located on the outer surface of the cover plate 10. The position of the stop portion 40 is determined according to the position of the end of the sliding groove 102.
[0067] Optionally, the stop portion 40 is detachably connected to the cover plate 10 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the switch piece 20.
[0068] For example, the cover plate 10 is configured with a clamping groove 103 at the position where the stop portion 40 is installed, and the stop portion 40 is inserted and clamped into the clamping groove 103 from top to bottom. The switch piece 20 is inserted and slid from the sliding groove 102 at one end of the stop portion 40, and then the stop portion 40 is inserted and fixed into the clamping groove 103 of the cover plate 10, thereby preventing the switch piece 20 from falling out of the sliding groove 102.
[0069] Optionally, the cover plate 10 is configured with a drainage portion 104 protruding from the outer plate surface along the edge, so that the water flowing out of the water outlet 101 flows along the drainage portion 104; wherein the drainage portion 104 is arranged opposite to the stop portion 40 to limit and stop the two ends of the chute 102.
[0070] The drainage portion 104 guides the water flowing out of the water outlet 101 to flow along it, making the water flow more smooth and concentrated, and reducing water splashing. At the same time, the drainage portion 104 is arranged opposite to the stop portion 40 to limit and stop the two ends of the chute 102, further enhancing the positional stability of the switch piece 20.
[0071] With the drainage portion 104 arranged opposite to the stop portion 40, a closed structure can be formed at the two ends of the chute 102 to prevent the switch piece 20 from sliding out of the chute 102, further improving the stability of the switch piece 20 with the cover plate 10 during use.
[0072] Optionally, the center line of the drainage portion 104 is arranged coplanar with the center line of the water outlet 101, and the height of the drainage portion 104 gradually decreases from the center line to both ends. In this way, it is helpful for users to obtain the accurate position of the water outlet 101, and on the other hand, it is convenient for drainage.
[0073] Optionally, the drainage portion 104 has an arc-shaped structure along the edge of the cover plate 10. In this way, it is helpful to guide the water flowing out of the water outlet 101 to flow along it, making the water flow more smooth and concentrated, and reducing water splashing.
[0074] Optionally, the drainage portion 104 is integrally formed with the cover plate 10. In this way, it is helpful to reduce the number of parts and assembly time. It can also avoid water storage at the connection between the two, causing mold growth.
[0075] Optionally, the cover plate 10 is also configured with an exhaust hole 105, which is sealed by the silica gel layer 30 at the same time as the water outlet 101 is closed.
[0076] The setting of the exhaust hole 105 allows the exhaust hole 105 to be sealed by the silica gel layer 30 at the same time as the water outlet 101 is closed, so that the cup cover has better sealing performance in the closed state, effectively preventing liquid leakage and external air from entering, and maintaining the freshness and hygiene of the liquid in the cup.
[0077] In combination Figures 1 to 9As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a cup, which comprises the cup cover provided by any of the above embodiments. The cup cover comprises: a cover plate 10, which is configured with a water outlet 101 and is configured with a sliding groove 102 distributed on opposite sides of the water outlet 101; a switch piece 20, which is slidingly connected in the sliding groove 102 of the cover plate 10 to open and close the water outlet 101; wherein the side of the switch piece 20 facing the water outlet 101 is provided with a silica gel layer 30, and the silica gel layer 30 can cover the water outlet 101 to seal the water outlet 101 when the water outlet 101 is closed. The cup cover further comprises a connecting portion which circumferentially surrounds the cover plate 10 for one turn, and the inner wall of the connecting portion is configured with a threaded structure so as to threadedly fix the cup cover with a cup body of the cup.
[0078] The cup provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure realizes the opening and closing of the water outlet 101 of the cup cover through the sliding groove 102 on the cover plate 10 and the sliding switch piece 20. In addition, compared with the traditional water blocking structure (such as a screw cap or a buckle), the cup cover has the advantages of convenient operation and simple structure. The silica gel layer 30 on the switch piece 20 directly contacts the water outlet 101 to form a physical seal, which can seal the water outlet 101 when it is closed, effectively prevent liquid leakage, ensure reliable water blocking performance, and guarantee the sealing performance of the cup cover.
