Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle cap technology, and in particular to a bucket cap that is easy to operate and open, and a bucket with the bucket cap. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are various types of containers and bottles available on the market for holding liquids. After these containers are filled, they need to be sealed with caps. For ease of use, most caps have a pull ring design, such as those for water buckets and condiment bottles.

[0003] In the prior art, a typical easy-tear bottle cap includes an upper cap body and a lower cap body. The lower cap body has a bendable first connecting portion, one end of which is connected to the upper cap body. The lower cap body has a flow guide orifice, and a pull ring device is provided at the orifice of the flow guide orifice. The pull ring device can separate from the flow guide orifice to form a liquid outlet. The pull ring device includes a pull ring body and an easy-tear sealing sheet. The easy-tear sealing sheet is located on the sealing sheet and can separate from the flow guide orifice to form a liquid outlet with the same shape as the easy-tear sealing sheet. The pull ring body is ring-shaped, with one end being a fixed end fixed to the cap body and the other end being a free end. The length of the fixed end and the length of the free end are the same. To save material, the lengths of both the fixed and free ends are generally designed to be very small. When a person opens the lid, their fingers rest against the free end of the pull ring and pull upwards. Because the free end is very short, the contact area between the pull ring and the fingers is very small. During the pulling process, the pull ring exerts a large reaction force on the fingers, which brings an uncomfortable feeling and may even leave marks on the fingers, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a bucket lid that is easy to operate and easy to open. This bucket lid can solve the problem that the operation of the pull ring is inconvenient and laborious. This application also provides a bucket with the bucket lid.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or end that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or ends.

[0026] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0027] This utility model discloses a specific embodiment of a convenient and easy-to-open bucket lid. Please see [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 2The bucket lid includes a lid body 1 and a pull ring 2. The pull ring 2 is annular or elliptical, with a hole in the center. A finger can be inserted into the hole to pull the pull ring 2. The top surface of the lid body 1 is recessed downwards to form a cylindrical body 11. The bottom of the cylindrical body 11 is a pre-designed water outlet for the bucket lid. A sealing plate 12 for sealing the water outlet is formed on the bottom surface of the cylindrical body 11. The sealing plate 12 is integrally formed with the lid body 1, and is molded at the water outlet to seal it. When the bucket lid needs to be opened, the sealing plate 12 needs to be torn open; therefore, one end of the pull ring 2 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 12. In this embodiment, the pull ring 2 and the sealing plate 12 are integrally formed, which enhances the connection strength between the pull ring 2 and the sealing plate 12. This connection strength is greater than the connection strength between the sealing plate 12 and the cylindrical body 11. When it is necessary to tear open the sealing sheet 12, the pull ring 2 is pulled so that it can pull the sealing sheet 12 together, causing the sealing sheet 12 to separate from the cover body 1, thereby tearing off the sealing sheet 12 and opening the water outlet. In addition, the top point of the pull ring 2 should be lower than the top surface of the cover body 1, so that the pull ring 2 is hidden inside the cylindrical body 11, preventing the pull ring 2 from being accidentally pulled open.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the pull ring 2 is inclined upward relative to the sealing plate 12 (which is horizontal). One end of the pull ring 2 is a fixed end with a connecting rib 21 extending downward. The connecting rib 21 is integrally formed with the sealing plate 12. The other end of the pull ring 2 is a free end, and the plane of the free end is higher than the plane of the fixed end, thus making the free end of the pull ring 2 inclined upward. When the bucket lid needs to be opened, it is easier to insert a finger into the hole of the pull ring 2, and the point of force of the finger is in contact with the free end of the pull ring 2. This allows the finger to pull the pull ring 2 with less force, making it easier to open the sealing plate 12. This not only makes operation more convenient but also saves effort. In other words, by tilting the free end of the pull ring 2 upward, it is not only easier to insert a finger into the pull ring 2, but also easier and less strenuous to pull the pull ring 2, thus making it easier to open the sealing plate 12.

[0029] Furthermore, the angle at which the pull ring 2 is tilted is 30 to 60 degrees, that is, the angle between the free end of the pull ring 2 tilting upward and the horizontal plane is 30 to 60 degrees. Preferably, the angle at which the pull ring 2 is tilted is 45 degrees. This tilt angle of the pull ring 2 conforms to the engineering mechanics of inserting a finger into the pull ring 2 and hooking it, so that when the finger is placed inside the cylindrical body 11, the fingertip can be inserted into the hole of the pull ring 2, and the fingertip can hook the free end of the pull ring 2 with a slight bend. Moreover, the free end of the pull ring 2 is also near the point of force of the finger, making it convenient and effortless to pull the pull ring 2. If the tilt angle of the pull ring 2 is too small, it will be difficult for the finger to insert the pull ring 2 and hook the free end of the pull ring 2; if the tilt angle of the pull ring 2 is too large, it will be easy for the finger to detach from the free end of the pull ring 2 after insertion, that is, it will be difficult for the finger to hook the free end of the pull ring 2.

[0030] Furthermore, a reinforcing portion 3 extends downward from the free end of the pull ring 2. By providing the reinforcing portion 3, the structural strength of the free end of the pull ring 2 is increased, making it less prone to breakage. Simultaneously, the contact area between the finger and the free end of the pull ring 2 is increased, preventing finger injury or pain, and making the pulling process more convenient and effortless, solving the problems of inconvenience and hand pain previously encountered. In this embodiment, the reinforcing portion 3 is fan-shaped, which better conforms to the tip of the finger. In other embodiments, the reinforcing portion 3 can also adopt triangular, rectangular, or polygonal shapes. Additionally, an arc-shaped recess can be provided on the lower side of the reinforcing portion 3 facing the sealing sheet 12. This arc-shaped recess better matches the tip of the finger, further increasing the contact area and facilitating force application, making it more effortless, comfortable, and convenient for the fingers to pull the pull ring 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bucket lid features an inclined pull ring 2, making it easier for fingers to engage and pull the ring 2, thus making the sealing plate 12 easier to open. The bucket lid of this invention also incorporates a reinforcing part 3 at the free end of the pull ring 2. This increases the structural strength of the free end of the pull ring 2, making it less prone to breakage under tension. Furthermore, it increases the contact area between the fingers and the free end of the pull ring 2, preventing finger injury or pain when pulling the ring 2. The pulling process is more convenient and effortless, solving the problems of inconvenience in previous models.

[0032] In some embodiments, the thickness of the reinforcing part 3 can be equal to the thickness of the pull ring 2, which facilitates mold forming. In this embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the thickness of the reinforcing part 3 is less than the thickness of the pull ring 2. This ensures sufficient connection strength between the reinforcing part 3 and the pull ring 2 while minimizing material consumption, thereby reducing production costs. Furthermore, the ratio of the arc length at the connection point between the reinforcing part 3 and the pull ring 2 to the circumference of the pull ring 2 is 1:4 to 1:6. This can be understood as the ratio of the arc length of the bottom edge of the reinforcing part 3 to the circumference of the pull ring 2, with 1:5 being the most preferred ratio. If the ratio of the arc length of the bottom edge of the reinforcing part 3 to the circumference of the pull ring 2 is too small, the reinforcing part 3 cannot provide sufficient structural strength to the pull ring 2, and the contact area between the free end of the pull ring 2 and the finger is too small, causing pain when the finger is pressed. If the ratio of the arc length of the bottom edge of the reinforcing part 3 to the circumference of the pull ring 2 is too large, it not only wastes material but also makes the free end of the pull ring 2 too heavy, resulting in the inability to effectively guarantee the tilt angle of the pull ring 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the thickness of the connecting rib 21 is greater than the thickness of the pull ring 2, and the thickness of the connecting rib 21 is equal to the thickness of the sealing sheet 12. The connecting rib 21 ensures the connection strength between the pull ring 2 and the sealing sheet 12, thus ensuring that the pull ring 2 and the sealing sheet 12 will not break during the process of pulling up the pull ring 2. In other embodiments, the thickness of the connecting rib 21 can be equal to the thickness of the pull ring 2, ensuring smooth glue flow during injection molding. The connecting rib 21, the pull ring 2, and the sealing sheet 12 are integrally injection molded.

[0034] Furthermore, the ratio of the annular length of the connecting rib 21 to the circumference of the pull ring 2 is 1:8 to 1:16. This can be understood as the ratio between the arc length of the connecting rib 21 and the circumference of the pull ring 2. This ensures the structural strength between the connecting rib 21 and the pull ring 2, preventing breakage, reducing material consumption, and facilitating smoother glue application for the pull ring 2. In some embodiments, the fixed end of the pull ring 2 does not have the connecting rib 21 extending downwards; that is, the bottom of the fixed end of the pull ring 2 is directly connected to the sealing plate 12, and the pull ring 2 and the sealing plate 12 are integrally formed. This eliminates the connecting rib 21, reducing material consumption, but increases the connection area between the pull ring 2 and the sealing plate 12 to ensure the connection strength between them.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the upper part of the cylindrical body 11 is an inverted cone shape, and the lower part of the cylindrical body 11 is a straight cylinder shape. The inverted cone shape can play a guiding role, making it more convenient and faster to install the water bucket into the water dispenser or connect it to other water pumping equipment, and making the operation simpler.

[0036] This utility model discloses a specific embodiment of a water bucket, including the water bucket lid described above. When the water bucket lid of this embodiment is used, the pull ring 2 is tilted, making it easier for fingers to put into and hook the pull ring 2, making it easier and less strenuous to pull the pull ring 2, thereby making the sealing sheet 12 easier to open.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the convenient and easy-to-open bucket lid and bucket disclosed in this utility model embodiment are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, used only to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model.
