Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of daily necessities, specifically an oil bottle. Background Technology

[0002] Existing oil dispensers include a body and a lid. The lid consists of a base that attaches to the body and a flip-top that rotatably connects to the base. The base has an oil pouring spout and a vent. The vent balances the air pressure inside and outside the dispenser, allowing oil to flow smoothly from the pouring spout. When stationary, the flip-top covers the base, preventing external dust from entering the dispenser through the vent and pouring spout. However, since some dust and dirt accumulate on the base during use, contaminants can still enter the dispenser through the vent and pouring spout after standing. Furthermore, if the dispenser tipps over, oil may leak from the vent and / or pouring spout, making cleaning difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an oil container that keeps the oil clean.

[0004] The oil container provided in this application includes a container body and a lid. The interior of the container body has a storage space for storing oil. The top of the container body is open. The lid includes a lower lid and an upper lid that are rotatably fitted. The lower lid includes a first cylindrical wall that fits with the container body and a partition disposed within the first cylindrical wall. The partition is provided with an oil outlet channel communicating with the storage space and a funnel groove that is at least partially sunken. The bottom of the funnel groove is provided with an oil inlet channel communicating with the storage space.

[0005] The upper cover is provided with a first sealing part and a second sealing part. The upper cover can rotate to have a first position where the first sealing part closes the oil outlet channel and the second sealing part closes the oil inlet channel, and a second position where the first sealing part opens the oil outlet channel and the second sealing part opens the oil inlet channel. The oil inlet channel serves as a vent when pouring oil, and the oil outlet channel serves as a vent when refilling oil. Refilling does not require opening the lid, making operation convenient. Furthermore, when stationary, the lid completely seals the oil outlet and oil inlet channels, preventing contaminants from entering the pot, thus ensuring greater safety and hygiene.

[0036] In this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number or order of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0037] See Figures 1-3 An oil dispenser includes a body 100 and a lid 200. The interior of the body 100 has a storage space 110 for storing liquids, such as oils or other condiments. The top of the body 100 is open to allow liquid to flow in and out.

[0038] The lid 200 includes a lower lid 210 and an upper lid 220 that are rotatably fitted. The lower lid 210 includes a first cylindrical wall 211 that fits with the body 100 and a partition 212 disposed within the first cylindrical wall 211. The partition 212 is provided with an oil outlet channel 310 that communicates with the accommodating space 110 and a funnel groove 213 that is at least partially sunken. The bottom of the funnel groove 213 is provided with an oil inlet channel 320 that communicates with the accommodating space 110.

[0039] The upper cover 220 is provided with a first sealing part 221 and a second sealing part 222. The upper cover 220 rotates relative to the lower cover 210 and has a first position where the first sealing part 221 closes the oil outlet channel 310 and the second sealing part 222 closes the oil inlet channel 320, and a second position where the first sealing part 221 opens the oil outlet channel 310 and the second sealing part 222 opens the oil inlet channel 320. The oil outlet channel 310 and the oil inlet channel 320 are arranged opposite each other, for example, front and back. When pouring oil, the upper cover 220 switches to the second position, and the oil is poured out through the oil outlet channel 310, while air enters and exits the receiving space 110 through the oil inlet channel 320. When adding oil, the upper cover 220 switches to the second position, and oil is added to the funnel trough 213. The oil enters the container body 100 through the oil inlet channel 320, while air enters and exits the receiving space 110 through the oil outlet channel 310.

[0040] When left to stand, the top cover 220 is switched to the first position, and both the oil outlet channel 310 and the oil inlet channel 320 are sealed, so that no contaminants can enter the pot body 100 through the oil outlet channel 310 and the oil inlet channel 320.

[0041] In one embodiment, the top cover 220 can remain in the first position. When the oil can is tilted, the top cover 220 is still in the first position, preventing the oil from flowing out through the oil outlet channel 310 and the oil inlet channel 320.

[0042] In some embodiments, an elastic reset member is provided between the upper cover 220 and the lower cover 210 to keep the upper cover 220 in a first position. The elastic reset member, such as a torsion spring, acts between the upper cover 220 and the lower cover 210. For ease of operation, the lid 200 is provided with a handle 230 and a pressing part 225 provided on the upper cover 220. In use, the handle 230 is held, and pressure is applied to the pressing part 225 to drive the upper cover 220 to rotate to a second position.

[0043] Alternatively, the first sealing part 221 and the oil outlet channel 310 cooperate with each other, and / or the second sealing part 222 and the oil inlet channel 320 cooperate with each other, and the damping force generated by the cooperation keeps the upper cover 220 in the first position.

[0044] The partition 212 is provided with an oil outlet column 311 and an oil inlet column 321. The oil outlet column 311 extends upward from the partition 212 to form an oil outlet channel 310. When pouring oil, it keeps the oil away from the partition 212, making the pouring smoother and preventing the oil from entering the pot body 100 from the oil outlet channel 310 when refilling. The oil inlet column 321 extends downward from the partition 212 to form an oil inlet channel 320. Its top and the funnel groove 213 are smoothly transitioned to facilitate the refilling operation.

[0045] See Figure 3In one embodiment, the oil outlet column 311 includes a lower section 312 and an upper section 313 that are separately connected. The lower section 312 and the partition 212 are integrally formed. The upper section 313 is made of elastic material. When the upper cover 220 is in the first position, the first sealing part 221 and the upper section 313 cooperate with each other. The cooperation method includes the first sealing part 221 abutting against the top end face of the upper section 313 and driving it to elastically deform, so that the two are sealed together.

[0046] The upper cover 220 includes a top wall 223 and a second cylindrical wall 224. In a first position, the upper cover 220, the first cylindrical wall 211, the second cylindrical wall 224, and the partition 212 form a closed space to prevent external contaminants from entering. In a preferred embodiment, the first cylindrical wall 211 extends upward relative to the partition 212 to form an upper edge, preventing oil from flowing out during refueling. The first cylindrical wall 211 and the second cylindrical wall 224 are either end-face fitted or radially fitted together.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first sealing part 221 may be a protruding post protruding from the upper cover 220, or a portion of the top wall 223 of the upper cover 220 may also serve as the first sealing part 221, which is related to the extension height of the oil outlet post 311.

[0048] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the second sealing portion 222 protrudes from the top wall 223. Specifically, the second sealing portion 222 includes a second protruding post 2221 protruding from the top wall 223, and a second sealing plug 2222 embedded in the second protruding post 2221. In the first position of the upper cover 220, the second sealing plug 2222 cooperates with the oil inlet post 321, as shown in the figure. The second sealing plug 2222 is tightly fitted with the hole wall of the oil inlet post 321, which on the one hand completely seals the oil inlet channel 320, and on the other hand, the generated damping force can be used to keep the upper cover 220 in the first position.

[0049] See Figure 4 The first sealing part 221 can adopt a structure similar to that of the second sealing part 222. In one embodiment, the first sealing part 221 includes a protrusion on the top wall 223 and a first sealing plug 2212 embedded in the first protrusion 2211. When the upper cover 220 is in the first position, the first sealing plug 2212 cooperates with the oil outlet post 311, as shown in the figure. The first sealing plug 2212 extends into the oil outlet post 311 and is tightly fitted with the hole wall of the oil outlet post 311. On the one hand, it can completely seal the oil outlet channel 310; on the other hand, the damping force generated can be used to keep the upper cover 220 in the first position. This structure allows the oil outlet post 311 to be made of a rigid material or the elastic material described in the above embodiment.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first sealing plug 222 includes a connecting portion nested with the first protrusion 2211, and a lip that surrounds the connecting portion and protrudes radially outward, the number of lips being, for example... Figure 4 One of them, or such as Figure 3 The middle part consists of multiple protrusions arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the first protrusion 2211.

[0051] In one embodiment, the funnel groove 213 extends to the first cylinder wall 211, increasing the refueling area. The oil inlet post 321 is located inside the opening of the container body 100, and the bottom of the oil inlet post 321 extends beyond the opening of the container body 100.

[0052] The oil container of this application has an inlet channel that serves as a vent when pouring oil, and an outlet channel that serves as a vent when refilling oil. Refilling does not require opening the lid, making operation convenient. Furthermore, when stationary, the lid completely seals both the inlet and outlet channels, preventing contaminants from entering the container and ensuring greater safety and hygiene.

[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features of different embodiments are embodied in the same drawing, it can be regarded as the drawing also disclosing examples of combinations of the various embodiments involved.

[0054] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and their descriptions are quite specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
