Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking vessel technology, and in particular to a cup lid and a cup. Background Technology

[0002] Existing drinking vessels use a single button to drive a skip mechanism to open and close the water flow channel on the lid. With prolonged use, the skip mechanism is prone to failure, causing the lid to leak or the water to stop flowing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a cup lid and cup, which aims to eliminate the original skipped tooth structure and control the opening and closing of the cup lid with two buttons respectively, thereby extending the service life of the cup lid.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a cup lid for covering the opening of a cup. The cup lid includes a lid body, a water outlet component, and two buttons. The lid body has a water flow channel with openings at both ends. The first opening of the water flow channel is for communication with the cup, and the second opening of the water flow channel is for communication with the outside. The water outlet component is movably connected to the lid body and has a closed state that blocks the first opening and an open state that is away from the first opening. Both buttons are movably connected to the lid body and are respectively linked to the water outlet component. One button causes the water outlet component to switch from the closed state to the open state, and the other button causes the water outlet component to switch from the open state to the closed state.

[0005] In one embodiment, the cup lid further includes a limiting component, which is movably disposed within the lid body and connected to the water outlet component. A button drives the water outlet component to move the limiting component, so that the water outlet component switches from the closed state to the open state and remains in the open state.

[0006] Another button drives the limiting component to connect to the water outlet component, so that the water outlet component switches from the open state to the closed state.

[0007] In one embodiment, the limiting component includes a main body and a sidewall disposed on the main body. The sidewall of the limiting component is provided with a first stepped surface and a second stepped surface arranged in a stepped manner. The water outlet component has a limiting part protruding from its surface facing the limiting component. Another button abuts against the main body. When the water outlet component is in the closed state, the limiting part abuts against the first stepped surface. When the water outlet component is in the open state, the limiting part abuts against the second stepped surface.

[0008] In one embodiment, two sidewalls are provided, which are located at opposite ends of the main body. Both sidewalls are provided with a first step surface and a second step surface arranged in a stepped manner. Limiting portions are protruding on opposite sides of the water outlet assembly.

[0009] In one embodiment, a first guide slope is formed on the surface of the other button facing the limiting component, and a second guide slope is formed on the surface of the main body of the limiting component facing the other button. The first guide slope pushes the second guide slope to move the limiting component so that the first stepped surface abuts against the limiting portion.

[0010] In one embodiment, a first elastic member is provided between the limiting component and the inner wall of the cover body. When the first stepped surface abuts against the limiting part, the first elastic member is in a compressed state.

[0011] In one embodiment, a second elastic element is provided between the water outlet component and the bottom wall of the cover body, and the second elastic element is in a compressed state when the water outlet component is in the open state.

[0012] In one embodiment, the cover body includes a base, a cup-shaped component, and a cover body. The base forms a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity spaced apart. The bottom of the second receiving cavity is provided with the first opening. The cup-shaped component includes an integrally formed and through connecting portion and an open portion. The connecting portion is connected to the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity. The outer wall of the open portion and the cavity wall of the second receiving cavity surround each other to form the water flow channel and the second opening. The cover body is closed and connected to the open portion.

[0013] The water outlet component is movably disposed within the cup-shaped component and partially exposed on the base, so as to have a closed state that blocks the first opening and an open state that is away from the first opening.

[0014] The two buttons are movably mounted on the cover.

[0015] In one embodiment, a third elastic element is provided between the other button and the cover.

[0016] This utility model also proposes a cup, including a cup lid as described above and a cup body with a water storage cavity, wherein the cup lid is detachably connected to the opening of the cup body.

[0017] This invention employs two buttons, each linked to the water outlet assembly, to control the opening and closing of the water flow channel on the lid body, thereby controlling both the water outlet and sealing states of the lid. Compared to the traditional skip-tooth structure, the design of linking the water outlet assembly with two buttons reduces wear between parts and extends the lifespan of the lid.

[0031] Existing drinking vessels use a single button to drive a skip mechanism to open and close the water flow channel on the lid. With prolonged use, the skip mechanism is prone to failure, causing the lid to leak or the water to stop flowing.

[0032] This utility model proposes a cup lid and cup, aiming to eliminate the original skipped tooth structure and control the opening and closing of the cup lid with two buttons respectively, thereby extending the service life of the cup lid.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 6In one embodiment of this utility model, the cup lid 10 is used to cover the opening of the cup 100. The cup lid 10 includes a lid body 1, a water outlet component 2, and two buttons 3. The lid body 1 has a water flow channel with openings at both ends. The first opening 12 of the water flow channel is used to communicate with the cup 100, and the second opening 13 of the water flow channel is used to communicate with the outside. The water outlet component 2 is movably connected to the lid body 1. The water outlet component 2 has a closed state that blocks the first opening 12 and an open state that is away from the first opening 12. Both buttons 3 are movably connected to the lid body 1, and the two buttons 3 are respectively linked to the water outlet component 2. One button 3 drives the water outlet component 2 to switch from the closed state to the open state, and the other button 3 drives the water outlet component 2 to switch from the open state to the closed state.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cover body 1, the water outlet component 2, and the two buttons 3 can all be made of hard plastic or metal, such as stainless steel, which are sturdy, durable, and rust-resistant. The two buttons 3 are directly or indirectly linked to the water outlet component 2. One button 3 is used to control the water outlet component 2 to switch from a closed state to an open state, that is, one button 3 is an open button, which connects the first opening 12 and the second opening 13 of the water flow channel, allowing water to be poured out through the second opening 13 of the water flow channel. The other button 3 is used to control the water outlet component 2 to reset, switching from an open state to a closed state, that is, the other button 3 is a close button, which closes the first opening 12 and the second opening 13 of the water flow channel.

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model uses two buttons 3, each linked to the water outlet component 2, to control the opening and closing of the water flow channel on the lid body 1, thereby controlling the water outlet and sealing states of the lid 10. Compared with the traditional skip-tooth structure, the design of linking the water outlet component 2 with two buttons 3 reduces wear between parts and extends the service life of the lid 10.

[0036] In an embodiment of this utility model, the cup lid 10 further includes a limiting component 4, which is movably disposed within the lid body 1 and connected to the water outlet component 2. A button 3 drives the water outlet component 2 to move the limiting component 4, so that the water outlet component 2 switches from a closed state to an open state and remains in the open state.

[0037] Another button 3 drives the limit component 4 to move the connected water outlet component 2, so that the water outlet component 2 switches from the open state to the closed state.

[0038] In this embodiment, the cup lid 10 includes a limiting component 4 movably disposed within the lid body 1. When a button 3 drives the water outlet component 2 and moves the limiting component 4, the water outlet component 2 can switch from a closed state to an open state, and the limiting component 4 can hold the water outlet component 2 in the open state, allowing liquid to be poured out through the water flow channel in the cup lid 10. When it is necessary to close the water flow channel, another button 3 drives the limiting component 4 to move, causing the water outlet component 2 to return to its initial position, i.e., switching from the open state to the closed state. The limiting component 4 allows the cup lid 10 to remain open, eliminating the need for the user to continuously press and hold a button 3, thus simplifying operation.

[0039] In an embodiment of this utility model, the limiting component 4 includes a main body 41 and a side wall 42 disposed on the main body 41. The side wall 42 of the limiting component 4 is provided with a first step surface 421 and a second step surface 422 arranged in a stepped manner. The water outlet component 2 has a limiting part 21 protruding from its surface facing the limiting component 4. Another button 3 abuts against the main body 41. When the water outlet component 2 is in a closed state, the limiting part 21 abuts against the first step surface 421. When the water outlet component 2 is in an open state, the limiting part 21 abuts against the second step surface 422.

[0040] In this embodiment, the limiting component 4 includes a main body 41 and a side wall 42 disposed on the main body 41. The side wall 42 has a first stepped surface 421 and a second stepped surface 422 arranged in a stepped manner. Undoubtedly, when the cup lid 10 is installed on the opening of the cup body 20, the height of the first stepped surface 421 is higher than the height of the second stepped surface 422. Correspondingly, the water outlet component 2 has a limiting part 21 protruding from its surface facing the limiting component 4. Another button 3, i.e., the close button, abuts against the main body 41. When the limiting part 21 abuts against the first stepped surface 421... 21. When the water outlet component 2 is in a closed state, its higher position can block the first opening 12, achieving a sealing effect. When the limiting part 21 abuts against the second step surface 422, the water outlet component 2 is in an open state. The water outlet component 2 moves downward relative to the cup lid 10, moving away from the first opening 12, thus opening the water outlet channel. When it is necessary to close, another button 3, i.e., the close button, drives the active part and moves the limiting part 21 from the second step surface 422 to the first step surface 421, thus closing the water flow channel.

[0041] In an embodiment of this utility model, two side walls 42 are provided, and the two side walls 42 are provided at opposite ends of the main body 41. Both side walls 42 are provided with a first step surface 421 and a second step surface 422 arranged in a stepped manner. Limiting parts 21 are protruding on opposite sides of the water outlet component 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, each end of the main body 41 is provided with a sidewall 42, and each sidewall 42 is provided with a first step surface 421 and a second step surface 422 arranged in a stepped manner. Correspondingly, the opposite sides of the water outlet component 2 are also provided with limiting parts 21, so that the movement between the water outlet component 2 and the limiting component 4 is more stable. The limiting component 4 surrounds the outer periphery of the water outlet component 2, which can achieve a compact structure and make the cup lid 10 more compact overall.

[0043] In an embodiment of this utility model, a first guide slope 31 is formed on the surface of another button 3 facing the limiting component 4, and a second guide slope 411 is formed on the surface of the main body of the limiting component 4 facing the other button 3. The first guide slope 31 pushes the second guide slope 411 to move the limiting component 4 so that the first step surface 421 abuts against the limiting part 21.

[0044] In this embodiment, a first guide slope 31 is formed on the surface of another button 3 facing the limiting component 4, and a second guide slope 411 is formed on the surface of the main body of the limiting component 4 facing the other button 3. When the other button 3 is pressed, the first guide slope 31 abuts against and pushes the second guide slope 411, and drives the limiting component 4 to move away from the water outlet component 2, so that the limiting part 21 moves from the second step surface 422 to the first step surface 421, thereby causing the water outlet component 2 to move upward relative to the cover body 1, so that the water outlet component 2 can block the first opening 12 and switch from the open state to the closed state.

[0045] In an embodiment of this utility model, a first elastic member 5 is provided between the limiting component 4 and the inner wall of the cover body 1. When the first step surface 421 abuts against the limiting part 21, the first elastic member 5 is in a compressed state.

[0046] In this embodiment, a first elastic element 5, such as a spring, is provided between the limiting component 4 and the inner wall of the cover body 1. When the first step surface 421 abuts against the limiting part 21, the water outlet component 2 is in a closed state, and the first elastic element 5 is in a compressed state. At this time, pressing a button 3 causes the water outlet component 2 to move downward relative to the cover body 1, so that the limiting part 21 is disengaged from the first step surface 421. The first elastic element 5 recovers its deformation and pushes the limiting component 4 toward the water outlet component 2, so that the second step surface 422 abuts against the limiting part 21. The water outlet component 2 can then remain in an open state under the action of the limiting component 4.

[0047] In an embodiment of this utility model, a second elastic member 6 is provided between the water outlet component 2 and the bottom wall of the cover body 1. When the water outlet component 2 is in the open state, the second elastic member 6 is in the compressed state.

[0048] In this embodiment, a second elastic element 6 is provided between the water outlet component 2 and the bottom wall of the cover body 1. When the water outlet component 2 is in the closed state, the second elastic element 6 is in the initial state. At this time, pressing a button 3 causes the water outlet component 2 to move downward relative to the cover body 16, and the second elastic element 6 switches to the compressed state. The limiting component 4 limits the water outlet component 2, keeping it in the open state. Pressing another button 3 causes the limiting component 4 to move away from the water outlet component 2, and the limiting part 21 of the water outlet component 2 will disengage from the second step surface 422. Under the elastic force of the second elastic element 6, the water outlet component 2 and the button 3 will be pushed back to their original positions, that is, restored to the closed state.

[0049] In an embodiment of this utility model, the cover body 1 includes a base 14, a cup-shaped part 15, and a cover body 16. The base 14 forms a first receiving cavity 141 and a second receiving cavity 142 that are spaced apart. The bottom of the second receiving cavity 142 is provided with a first opening 12. The cup-shaped part 15 includes an integrally formed and through connecting part 151 and an open part 152. The connecting part 151 is connected to the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 141. The outer wall of the open part 152 and the cavity wall of the second receiving cavity 142 enclose each other to form a water flow channel and a second opening 13. The cover body 16 is closed and connected to the open part 152.

[0050] The water outlet component 2 is movably disposed within the cup-shaped component 15 and partially exposed in the base 14, so as to have a closed state that blocks the first opening 12 and an open state that is away from the first opening 12.

[0051] Two buttons 3 are movably inserted into the cover 16.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cover body 1 includes a base 14, a cup-shaped component 15, and a cover body 16. The base 14 contains a first receiving cavity 141 and a second receiving cavity 142 spaced apart. A first opening 12 is formed at the bottom of the second receiving cavity 142. The cup-shaped component 15 includes an integrally formed and through connecting portion 151 and an open portion 152. The connecting portion 151 is connected to the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 141. The outer wall of the open portion 152 and the cavity wall of the second receiving cavity 142 enclose a water flow channel and a second opening 13. The water outlet component 2 is movably disposed within the cup-shaped component 15 and partially exposed outside the base 14. The spaced-apart first receiving cavity 141 and second receiving cavity 142 separate the water flow channel from the internal movable components, further extending the service life of the water outlet component 2, the limiting component 4, and the two buttons 3. The cover body 16 covers the opening of the open portion 152 of the cup-shaped component 15, and the two buttons 3 are arranged side-by-side and movably inserted into the cover body 16. Button 3 can move downward relative to cover 16, and will not detach from cover 16 by means of a latch.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the water outlet assembly 2 includes a sealing component and a driving component. The driving component is disposed in the open portion 152 of the cup-shaped component 15. The driving component is connected to a button 3, i.e., an open button. The driving component pushes the sealing component to move downward. When the sealing component returns to its original position, it also pushes the driving component and the button 3 to return to their original positions. The sealing component includes a connecting post and a sealing disc. One end of the connecting post is connected to the sealing disc. The sealing disc is located outside the base 14. A sealing element is provided on the outer periphery of the sealing disc. When the water outlet assembly 2 is in a closed state, the sealing disc abuts the sealing element against the first opening 12 to seal the first opening 12.

[0054] In an embodiment of this utility model, a third elastic element 7 is provided between another button 3 and the cover 16.

[0055] In this embodiment, a third elastic element 7 is provided between the other button 3 and the cover 16. When the other button 3 is pressed down, the third elastic element 7 will be compressed. When there is no external force, the third elastic element 7 will restore its deformation and push the other button 3 back to its original position.

[0056] This utility model also proposes a cup 100, including a cup lid 10 as described above and a cup body 20 with a water storage cavity, wherein the cup lid 10 is detachably connected to the opening of the cup body 20.
