Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lid opening device technology, and in particular to a bucket lid opener. Background Technology

[0002] Bottled water is now widely used in homes, offices, and public places. Traditionally, using bottled water requires carrying the bottle to the top of the dispenser and inserting the spout, making changing the bottle laborious. With increasing drinking water consumption, bottom-feed water dispensers have gradually replaced traditional ones. These dispensers only require breaking the cap on the spout to insert the suction tube. However, these caps are usually quite sturdy and tightly sealed, so people often use a sharp object to forcefully pierce them or a knife to cut them off. However, if the tool is inserted too deeply, it can contaminate the water source. This process is particularly strenuous and inconvenient for users with limited strength or those who frequently change bottles. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of difficulty in opening water bucket lids in the prior art. This invention provides a water bucket lid opener that allows users to quickly and effortlessly break open the water bucket lid.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model discloses a bucket opener for breaking the sealing cap at the spout of a bucket, comprising:

[0005] Support, detachably connected to the spout;

[0006] An elastic element extends along a first direction perpendicular to the surface of the encapsulation cover. One end of the elastic element is connected to a support. The elastic element is capable of elastic deformation along the first direction.

[0007] A pressure plate is located at the other end of the elastic member. A push rod extending in a first direction is provided on the side of the pressure plate facing the support. When the elastic member undergoes compression deformation in the first direction, the end of the push rod can pierce the sealing cover.

[0008] When in use, cover the bucket spout with the support of the lid opener. At this time, the push rod will be aligned with the sealing cap. The user applies downward pressure through the pressure plate. The deformation of the elastic element allows the push rod to effectively pierce the sealing cap of the bucket. When the pressure is released, the elastic element can return to its original shape, allowing the lid opener to quickly return to its initial state for easy reuse.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, users can use the lid opener to break the water bucket seal with less force, which significantly reduces the difficulty of opening the lid. The operation is simple and efficient, and it is especially suitable for users with less strength or occasions where water buckets are frequently changed.

The positioning hole is adapted to the shape of the nozzle, and the end of the nozzle can be inserted into the positioning hole to limit the relative movement between the support and the nozzle along a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The diameter of the clearance hole is smaller than the diameter of the positioning hole. Along the first direction, the projection of the push rod is located within the outline of the clearance hole.

[0011] Optionally, the axis of the push rod coincides with the axis of the positioning hole.

[0012] Optionally, the elastic element is arranged around the outside of the top rod.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, 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.

[0028] To address the problem of difficulty in opening bucket lids in existing technologies, this utility model discloses a bucket lid opener for breaking the sealing cap at the bucket spout.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lid opener provided in this embodiment includes a support 7, an elastic element 6, and a pressure plate 4. The support 7 can be detachably connected to the spout 2. The elastic element 6 extends along a first direction (e.g., Figure 1 The first direction (as shown in the X direction) extends perpendicular to the surface of the encapsulation cover 3. Exemplarily, the first direction can be vertical. One end of the elastic member 6 is connected to the support 7, and the other end is connected to the pressure plate 4. The elastic member 6 is capable of elastic deformation along the first direction. A push rod 5 extending along the first direction is provided on the side of the pressure plate 4 facing the support 7. When the elastic member 6 undergoes compressive deformation along the first direction, the lower end of the push rod 5 can pierce the encapsulation cover 3.

[0030] In use, the support 7 of the lid opener is fixed to the spout 2. At this time, the push rod 5 will be above and aligned with the sealing cap 3. Then, the user presses down on the pressure plate 4 and applies downward pressure in the first direction. The elastic element 6 will compress and deform, and the push rod 5 will move downward. When the lower end of the push rod 5 contacts the sealing cap 3, the push rod 5 can pierce the sealing cap 3 of the water bucket 1. After the sealing cap 3 is pierced, the user releases the pressure plate 4, the elastic element 6 returns to its elastic deformation, and the elastic element 6 drives the pressure plate 4 and the push rod 5 upward to the starting position. Then the operator can remove the support 7 from the spout 2.

[0031] By employing the above technical solution, users can easily break the sealing cap 3 of the water bucket 1 with minimal force using the cap opener, significantly reducing the difficulty of opening the cap. Once the sealing cap 3 is broken, the elastic member 6 recovers its elastic deformation, allowing the push rod 5 to quickly spring back and move upwards to its initial position. This not only prevents the push rod 5 from getting stuck on the spout 2 but also ensures that the push rod 5 automatically resets after each use, guaranteeing smooth recovery and readiness for the next use, simplifying the operation process and improving ease of use. Furthermore, the support 7 also functions as a limiter, restricting the maximum downward movement of the push rod 5 and preventing it from inserting too deeply and causing its lower end to contact water, thus contaminating the water source. Simultaneously, the cap opener's simple structural design and easy manufacturing process significantly reduce production costs.

[0032] This application does not limit the connection method between the support 7 and the spout 2. For example, the support 7 can be sleeved on the outside of the spout 2, or it can be connected to the spout 2 by a latch. Any technical solution that can achieve a detachable connection between the support 7 and the spout 2 is within the protection scope of this application.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the support 7 is provided with a hole 8 extending through the support 7 along a first direction. The hole 8 includes a positioning hole 9 and a clearance hole 10 arranged sequentially along the first direction. The positioning hole 9 is located on the side away from the pressure plate 4, and the clearance hole 10 is located on the side close to the pressure plate 4. The positioning hole 9 is adapted to the shape of the spout 2, and the end of the spout 2 can be inserted into the positioning hole 9. The diameter of the clearance hole 10 is smaller than the diameter of the positioning hole 9, and a stepped surface 12 is formed between the clearance hole 10 and the positioning hole 9. When it is necessary to fix the support 7 and the spout 2, the operator only needs to fit the positioning hole 9 onto the outside of the spout 2. At this time, the upper surface of the spout 2 is in contact with the stepped surface 12. The positioning hole 9 can restrict the relative movement of the support 7 and the spout 2 in the horizontal direction, and the stepped surface 12 can restrict the relative movement of the support 7 and the spout 2 in the vertical direction, thereby achieving relative fixation of the support 7 and the spout 2.

[0034] This method improves the stability of the lid opener during use, avoids deviation or instability during operation, and ensures a smoother and more efficient lid opening process.

[0035] Furthermore, along the first direction, the projection of the push rod 5 lies within the contour range of the clearance hole 10. When the operator presses down on the pressure plate 4, the push rod 5 can penetrate through the clearance hole 10 and the positioning hole 9, thereby piercing the sealing cover 3.

[0036] Furthermore, the axis of the push rod 5 coincides with the axis of the positioning hole 9. This design prevents the push rod 5 from shifting or misaligning relative to the encapsulation cover 3, ensuring that the push rod 5 can accurately act on the encapsulation cover 3, thus improving the working efficiency and reliability of the cap opener.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the elastic element 6 is disposed around the outside of the push rod 5. Exemplarily, the elastic element 6 can be a compression spring or a cylindrical elastic rubber, sleeved around the outside of the push rod 5. This design allows the elastic element 6 to provide balanced support force to the pressure plate 4, making it more stable for the operator when pressing down on the pressure plate 4. It also prevents the user's hand from directly contacting the push rod 5 during opening, reducing the risk of hand injury and improving safety.

[0038] Specifically, when the elastic element 6 is a compression spring, spring seats can be provided at both ends of the elastic element 6 to fix the elastic element 6 to the support 7 and the pressure plate 4. In some other embodiments, the two ends of the elastic element 6 can be welded to the support 7 and the pressure plate 4 respectively to achieve a fixed connection between the elastic element 6 and the support 7 and the pressure plate 4.

[0039] Furthermore, the spring constant k of the compression spring is 2.4–2.6 N / cm. The applicant discovered that when the spring constant k is too small, the compression spring cannot provide stable and strong support for the pressure plate 4, and the spring is prone to tilting when the user presses down on the pressure plate 4, making it difficult for the push rod 5 to align with the sealing cover 3. When the spring constant k is too large, the compression spring becomes too stiff and difficult to deform elastically, making it difficult for the user to press down on the pressure plate 4. This application sets the spring constant k of the compression spring to 2.4–2.6 N / cm, which ensures that the user can easily press down on the pressure plate 4 while preventing the push rod 5 from misaligning with the sealing cover 3 due to spring tilting. For example, when pressing down on the pressure plate 4, a force of approximately 12 N can be applied, at which point the deformation length of the compression spring is approximately 4.6–5 cm.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the push rod 5 is cylindrical, and an insertion portion 11 is provided at the end of the push rod 5 facing away from the pressure plate 4. The cross-sectional area of ​​the insertion portion 11 gradually decreases from the side near the pressure plate 4 to the side facing away from the pressure plate 4. Exemplarily, the insertion portion 11 can be conical, frustum-shaped, or hemispherical. This design can reduce the contact area between the lower end of the push rod 5 and the encapsulation cover 3, thereby increasing the pressure and making it easier for the push rod 5 to pierce the encapsulation cover 3.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the surface of the insertion part 11 facing away from the pressure plate 4 is spherical. This design prevents the insertion part 11 from being too sharp and injuring the user. For example, the length of the push rod 5 is 8 cm, and the length of the insertion part 11 is 1 to 2 cm.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the support 7 is ring-shaped. The ring-shaped support 7 is more suitable for the shape of the spout 2 of the bucket 1, and can effectively surround and fix the spout 2, so that the lid opener will not easily detach or move during use. For example, the diameter of the support 7 can be 5cm.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the support 7 and the pressure plate 4 can be made of PPC (Polypropylene Carbonate) material. PPC material has good durability, rigidity and safety, ensuring the stability and durability of the cap opener in long-term use, improving the strength and service life of the cap opener, while ensuring safety when in contact with the user's skin.

[0044] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the above description is a further detailed explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of the present invention to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art can make various changes in form and detail, including some simple deductions or substitutions, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
