The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Example
[0030] Please see Figures 1-9 As shown, this utility model provides a baby bottle, including a bottle body 1 with an open top. A middle cover 2 is detachably threaded onto the outer side of the open end of the bottle body 1, and in the fixed state, the middle cover 2 is coaxial with the open end of the bottle body 1. A flip cover 3 is rotatably mounted on the middle cover 2, and a nipple component 4 is detachably mounted on the middle of the flip cover 3. A nipple cap 5 for covering the nipple component is detachably mounted on the flip cover 3. One side of the flip cover 3 is hinged to one side of the middle cover 2, and the other side of the flip cover 3 is detachably fastened and fixed to the other side of the middle cover 2 to close the top opening of the bottle body 1. The flip cover design greatly reduces the user's operation and simplifies the operation process. Rotating the flip cover upwards to open it exposes the internal space of the bottle, making it easy to quickly add milk powder or clean.
[0031] As one type of rotating design, the middle cover 2 has a rotating groove 6 on its side, and two rotating seats 7 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the rotating groove 6. The rotating seats 7 have a rotating shaft 8 extending towards the center of the rotating groove 6. The flip cover 3 has a rotating block 9 on its side, and the rotating block 9 has a rotating shaft groove 10 for the rotating shaft 8 to be inserted and rotated. The side of the rotating shaft groove 10 has an opening 11 that passes through the rotating block 9 radially along the rotating shaft groove 10, allowing the rotating shaft 8 to be engaged into the rotating shaft groove 10 from the side. This design makes the installation and removal of the middle cover 2 very convenient, without the need for extra fasteners, and the rotation is also very flexible and smooth.
[0032] As one type of fastening and fixing design, the flip cover 3 has a fastening protrusion 12 on the side away from the rotating side, the middle cover 2 has a fastening recess 13 on the side, the lower end of the fastening protrusion 12 has a protrusion 14, and the upper end of the fastening recess 13 has a recess 15 that is adapted to fit the protrusion 14; a buckle 16 is rotatably mounted on the fastening protrusion 12 for fastening the bottom end of the fastening recess 13 away from the recess 15.
[0033] According to one example of this utility model, a safety locking structure is also included. The safety locking structure includes an insert 17 located on the bottom side of the flip cover 3 and a locking member 18 movably mounted on the middle cover 2. When the locking member 18 moves to a first position on the middle cover 2 (off position shown in the figure), the insert 17 is limited by the locking member 18 and cannot move. When the locking member 18 moves to a second position on the middle cover 2 (on position shown in the figure), the insert 17 is unlocked and can move automatically. Further, the front end of the insert 17 has a locking hook 19, and the middle cover 2 is provided with a locking groove 20 and a limiting block 27 for limiting the locking member 18 within the locking groove 20. The locking member 18 is movably mounted within the locking groove 20, and the locking member 18 is provided with a toggle 21 for facilitating the sliding of the locking member 18 and a locking hook 22 for adapting to hook the locking hook 19.
[0034] The aforementioned uniquely designed flip-top latching structure and safety lock structure ensure a good sealing effect under normal circumstances, and effectively prevent accidental injury caused by accidental opening of the bottle.
[0035] This baby bottle's design concept stems from addressing the problems of complexity and inefficiency inherent in traditional screw-on cap systems. Through the ingenious use of a flip-top structure and locking system, opening and closing the bottle becomes extremely simple and effortless. It performs exceptionally well in both travel and home care scenarios. More importantly, this innovation has not remained merely a concept; it has undergone multiple iterations and improvements, and rigorous laboratory testing has verified its stability and safety. The final product combines practicality and aesthetics, and is expected to become a next-generation parenting tool.
[0036] To ensure the sealing of the bottle opening, in this application, the lower end of the nipple 4 is provided with a sealing edge 23, the upper side of the sealing edge 23 is provided with an upper annular sealing groove, the inner side of the flip cover 3 is provided with a first sealing ring 24 that fits into the upper annular sealing groove; the lower side of the sealing edge 23 is provided with a lower annular sealing groove, and the top side of the opening end of the bottle body 1 is provided with a second sealing ring 25 that fits into the lower annular sealing groove.
[0037] According to one example of this utility model, a grip handle 26 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the middle cover 2, and the grip handle 26 is integrally formed with the middle cover 2. The integral forming is beneficial for processing and manufacturing, facilitates assembly, and makes the overall appearance simpler.
[0038] Most baby bottles on the market are cylindrical in shape. While this traditional design is simple and easy to use, it does not fully meet the natural physiological needs of infants to suckle. In particular, for newborns whose swallowing function is not yet fully developed, it can easily lead to problems such as choking and aspiration pneumonia.
[0039] As one optimized design, the bottle body 1 is designed with an overall tilt. When the bottom of the bottle body 1 is flush with the horizontal plane, the central axis of the opening of the bottle body 1 is offset to the side relative to the vertical direction. Furthermore, the bottle body 1 includes an upper bottle body 1a and a lower bottle body 1b integrally connected. The central axis of the upper bottle body 1a is offset at a small angle relative to the vertical direction, and the central axis of the lower bottle body 1b is offset at a slight angle relative to the vertical direction, which is smaller than the small angle. Preferably, the small angle ranges from 0 to 10°, and in this embodiment, it is preferably 5°; the slight angle ranges from 0 to 5°, and in this embodiment, it is preferably 3°.
[0040] The design of the aforementioned angled bottle stemmed from the observation that many newborns often choked on milk when using ordinary straight-sided bottles. This not only caused distress for parents but could also threaten the baby's health. Therefore, the applicant began researching how to optimize the bottle's structure to better meet the actual needs of infants. After multiple prototype tests and user feedback collection, the product form of the current patent application was finalized. Its core feature is the unique angled design, which facilitates feeding by adults while guiding infants to develop correct sucking habits. It significantly reduces the chance of choking during infant feeding, improving safety; it helps cultivate healthy eating habits in infants, promoting their healthy growth; and the unique angled design balances aesthetics and practicality.
