Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of everyday consumer goods technology, and in particular to a cup lid and a water cup. Background Technology
[0002] A water cup typically consists of a body and a lid, with the lid attached to the mouth of the cup to close it. To meet the drinking needs of different people, the lid may have both a drinking spout and a sippy nozzle. Users can drink directly from the cup through the drinking spout or through the sippy nozzle. However, this type of lid with both a drinking spout and a sippy nozzle is often poorly designed, negatively impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a cup lid and a water cup to improve the user experience of the water cup.
[0004] This application provides a first aspect of a cup lid, which includes:
[0005] A lid, the top of which is provided with a direct drinking spout and a sippy spout, the direct drinking spout and the sippy spout being positioned opposite each other on two edges of the lid;
[0006] A flip-top, pivotally connected to the cover body, is used to open or close the drinking spout;
[0007] The mouthpiece includes a drinking portion and a connecting portion disposed opposite to each other. The connecting portion is disposed above the drinking opening and pivotally connected to the cover body so that the mouthpiece can connect to or block the drinking opening.
[0008] A slider is slidably connected to the mouthpiece to either cover the drinking part or expose the drinking part.
[0009] The cup lid provided in this application includes a lid body, a flip-top lid, a spout, and a sliding component. The top of the lid body has a direct drinking spout and a sippy spout, which are positioned opposite each other on two edges of the lid body. The flip-top lid is pivotally connected to the lid body to open or close the direct drinking spout. The spout includes a sippy portion and a connecting portion positioned opposite each other, with the connecting portion located above the sippy spout and pivotally connected to the lid body to allow the spout to connect to or block the sippy spout. The sliding component is slidably connected to the spout to either cover or expose the sippy portion. The flip-top lid and the sliding component can be operated independently. Users can drink directly by operating the flip-top lid and drink through the spout by operating the sliding component, improving the convenience of using the cup. Furthermore, both direct drinking and spout drinking methods can be achieved at the edge of the lid body, providing a more comfortable drinking angle and improving the user experience of the cup.
[0010] Optionally, the top edge of the cover is provided with a first annular rib, and a second U-shaped rib is connected to the inner side of the first rib. The two ends of the second rib are connected to the first rib, and the drinking spout is located within the area enclosed by the second rib and the first rib. By raising the edge of the drinking spout with the first and second ribs, it is easier for users to drink directly from the spout and prevents spillage or leakage during drinking.
[0011] Optionally, the flip cover includes a cover body, which is positioned above the drinking spout. The cover body has a first wall portion and a second wall portion protruding from one side facing the cover body. The first wall portion is located on the side of the first rib facing away from the axis of the cover body, and it engages with the outer wall of the cover body. The second wall portion is located on the side of the second rib facing the axis of the cover body, and it abuts against the upper surface of the cover body. This design avoids the first and second wall portions occupying space at the edge of the cover body, thereby minimizing the distance between the drinking spout and the edge of the cover body. Furthermore, the first wall portion provides radial restraint to the flip cover, and the second wall portion provides axial support, thus improving the stability of the flip cover.
[0012] Optionally, the first wall portion has a locking protrusion on the side facing the second wall portion, and the outer wall of the lid has a locking groove, with the locking protrusion and the locking groove engaging with each other. This locks the flip lid in the closed state, preventing accidental opening during use and leakage of liquid from the drinking spout.
[0013] Optionally, along the direction towards the lid, the inner surface of the second wall gradually slopes away from the first wall, and the thickness of the second wall gradually decreases. This not only creates a flared structure in the space below the lid body, making it easier to close the lid and preventing interference between the lid and the second rib or other parts during closing, but also reduces the space occupied by the second wall on the lid surface, improving the utilization rate of the lid's surface space and making the overall structure of the lid more compact.
[0014] Optionally, the surface of the slider is provided with a handle. When the spout is opened to its limit position away from the lid, the handle abuts against the first raised rib. On the one hand, the contact between the handle and the first raised rib provides support and limits the spout, preventing the spout from directly contacting and limiting the lid, thereby reducing the possibility of scratches or indentations on the spout surface. On the other hand, when drinking from the spout, the user can hold the cup with one hand while pressing the handle firmly with their thumb, thus ensuring that the spout remains stably and reliably in the open position.
[0015] Optionally, when the spout is opened to its limit position away from the lid, the angle between the axis of the spout and the surface of the lid is greater than 90° and less than or equal to 115°. This ensures both the stability of the spout itself and the overall stability of the cup.
[0016] Optionally, the top of the cover is provided with a first receiving groove, and the flip cover is provided with a connecting arm. The connecting arm is received in the first receiving groove and pivotally connected to the cover. The bottom of the first receiving groove is provided with a first arc-shaped surface, and the end of the connecting arm is provided with a second arc-shaped surface. Both the first arc-shaped surface and the second arc-shaped surface are coaxially arranged with the pivot axis of the flip cover. The first arc-shaped surface is provided with a first protrusion, and the second arc-shaped surface is provided with a second protrusion. When the cover is flipped, the first protrusion can slide along the second arc-shaped surface, and the second protrusion can slide along the first arc-shaped surface. The second protrusion and the first protrusion cooperate with each other to lock the flip cover in the open state. On the one hand, the first protrusion and the second arc-shaped surface cooperate with each other, which can not only provide reliable guidance for the flip cover and increase the stability of the flip cover movement, but also reduce the contact area between the first arc-shaped surface and the second arc-shaped surface, thereby reducing the resistance of the flip cover flipping movement; on the other hand, the second protrusion and the first protrusion cooperate with each other to lock the flip cover in the open state, which can prevent the flip cover from automatically flipping and hitting the user when the user drinks liquid directly.
[0017] Optionally, along the sliding direction of the slider, the nozzle is provided with at least two locking grooves, wherein the locking groove closest to the drinking part is the first locking groove, and the locking groove closest to the connecting part is the second locking groove. The slider is provided with a locking component; when the locking component is partially embedded in the first locking groove, the slider covers the drinking part, thereby fixing the slider in the closed position and providing a reliable dustproof function; when the locking component is partially embedded in the second locking groove, the drinking part is exposed outside the slider, thereby fixing the slider in the closed position and providing a reliable dustproof function.
[0018] A second aspect of this application provides a water cup, which includes a cup body and any of the cup lids provided in this application, wherein the cup lid is connected to the mouth of the cup body.
[0019] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0073] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this application. Detailed Implementation
[0074] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0075] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance; unless otherwise specified or explained, the term "multiple" refers to two or more; the terms "connected," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, an integral connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0076] In the description of this specification, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" used in the embodiments of this application are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should also be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.
[0077] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a water cup, which includes a cup body 02 and a cup lid 01. The cup lid 01 is detachably connected to the mouth of the cup body 02. For example, the cup lid 01 is connected to the opening of the cup body 02 by a suitable means such as a snap or thread. A sealing fit can be formed between the cup lid 01 and the cup body 02. For example, a sealing ring can be provided between the cup lid 01 and the cup body 02.
[0078] like Figures 2-8As shown, the cup lid 01 provided in this embodiment includes a lid body 1 and a spout 2. The lid body 1 is used to connect the cup body 02, realizing the connection and fixation between the lid 01 and the cup body 02. The top of the lid body 1 is provided with a direct drinking spout 12 and a drinking spout 11. The spout 2 is connected to the drinking spout 11. The direct drinking spout 12 directly communicates with the interior of the cup body 02, and the drinking spout 11 extends into the interior of the cup body 02 through a straw. That is to say, the lid body 1 is provided with both a direct drinking spout 12 and a drinking spout 11, so that both direct drinking and drinking with a spout can be realized at the same time, meeting the drinking needs of different people. The direct drinking spout 12 and the drinking spout 11 are arranged opposite to each other on the two edges of the lid body 1. Specifically, the direct drinking spout 12 and the drinking spout 11 are arranged on both sides of the lid body axis of the lid body 1 and are relatively close to the edge of the lid body 1. This arrangement allows both direct drinking and drinking with a spout to be realized at the edge of the lid body 1, thereby providing a more comfortable drinking angle and improving the user experience of the water cup.
[0079] Furthermore, the cup lid 01 also includes a flip lid 4. The flip lid 4 is pivotally connected to the lid body 1 to open or close the drinking spout 12. That is, the drinking spout 12 is opened and closed by flipping. Since the flip lid 4 and the lid body 1 only squeeze each other and do not rub against each other, the resistance to opening and closing the drinking spout 12 is reduced, making the operation of opening and closing the drinking spout 12 convenient and effortless.
[0080] Furthermore, the mouthpiece 2 includes a drinking portion 21 and a connecting portion 22 disposed opposite to each other. The connecting portion 22 is disposed above the drinking opening 11 and pivotally connected to the cover 1, so that the mouthpiece 2 can connect to or block the drinking opening 11. That is, the mouthpiece 2 can rotate relative to the cover 1. When the mouthpiece 2 rotates away from the cover 1, the mouthpiece 2 can open and connect to the drinking opening 11 (see reference). Figure 3 and Figure 4 At this time, the drinking part 21 is located above the connecting part 22, so that the drinking part 21 is close to the edge of the lid 1, so that the user can drink the liquid in the cup at a comfortable angle through the spout 2; when the spout 2 is flipped towards the lid 1, the spout 2 can be retracted and block the drinking opening 11 (see reference). Figures 6-8 At this time, the drinking part 21 is located on the side of the connecting part 22 facing the axis of the cover 1. It can make full use of the space above the cover 1 to store the mouthpiece 2, and can also close the drinking port 11 to prevent the liquid in the cup from leaking out of the drinking port 11.
[0081] Specifically, the spout 2 and the lid 1 can be connected by an interference fit or a snap-fit mechanism, allowing the spout 2 to stably remain in any suitable position, such as the open or retracted position. The spout 2 has a liquid channel 23 inside, which passes through the connecting part 22 to form a liquid inlet 231 and through the drinking part 21 to form a liquid outlet 232. When the spout 2 is connected to the drinking opening 11, the liquid inlet 231 overlaps with the drinking opening 11 to at least partially, allowing liquid from the cup to pass through the drinking opening 11 and enter the spout 2. When the spout 2 blocks the drinking opening 11, the liquid inlet 231 is completely misaligned with the drinking opening 11, preventing liquid from passing through the drinking opening 11 and entering the spout 2.
[0082] Furthermore, the cup lid 01 also includes a slider 3, which is slidably connected to the spout 2 to either cover the drinking part 21 or expose the drinking part 21. When the drinking part 21 is exposed (see reference). Figure 4 and Figure 6 When the slider 3 is in the open state, the user can drink the liquid in the cup through the spout 2; when the slider 3 blocks the drinking part 21 (see reference). Figure 7 and Figure 8 When the slider 3 is in the closed state, it serves as a dust preventer, preventing dust from contaminating the drinking part 21 and affecting the cleanliness and hygiene of the spout 2. On one hand, by covering the drinking part 21 of the spout 2 with the slider 3, dust is prevented. Since the slider 3 only covers a portion of the spout 2, without completely covering or concealing the entire spout 2, the overall volume of the lid 01 is reduced, improving the user experience. On the other hand, the slider 3 is connected to the spout 2, not the lid 1, preventing the state of the spout 2 from affecting the state of the slider 3. In other words, the slider 3 can freely switch between open and closed states regardless of the state of the spout 2, thus achieving dust prevention for the spout 2 without changing its state, further improving the user experience. Furthermore, the user can hold the slider 3 to rotate the spout 2, improving ease of operation and effectively preventing the user's fingers from contaminating the spout 2, thus enhancing the cleanliness and hygiene of the water cup.
[0083] Among them, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top of the lid 1 may be provided with a first receiving groove 1a and a second receiving groove 1b. At least a portion of the flip cover 4 is received in the first receiving groove 1a, and at least a portion of the spout 2 is received in the second receiving groove 1b, so as to reduce the overall height of the cup lid 01 and thus reduce the overall volume of the cup lid 01.
[0084] A first vent hole 13 can be provided on one side of the drinking spout 12, and a first plug can be provided directly below the flip cover 4 opposite the first vent hole 13. When the flip cover 4 is closed, the first plug closes the first vent hole 13 to prevent liquid from leaking along the first vent hole 13; when the flip cover 4 is opened, the first plug opens the first vent hole 13 to balance the pressure inside and outside the cup.
[0085] A second vent hole 14 can be provided on one side of the drinking spout 11, and a second plug 26 can be provided directly below the spout 2 opposite to the second vent hole 14. When the spout 2 is closed, the second plug 26 closes the second vent hole 14 to prevent liquid from leaking along the second vent hole 14; when the spout 2 is open, the second plug 26 opens the second vent hole 14 to balance the pressure inside and outside the cup.
[0086] Furthermore, the flip cover 4 and the spout 2 are arranged in a straight line on the surface of the lid 1 to improve the appearance of the cup lid 01. The flip cover 4 has two connecting arms 44 at the end near the drinking port 11. The connecting arms 44 are pivotally connected to the lid 1. At least part of the spout 2 can be stored between the two connecting arms 44. That is, the flip cover 4 forms a groove between the connecting arms 44, and part of the spout 2 is stored in the groove. This not only meets the length requirements of the flip cover 4 and the spout 2 in the small space of the lid 1, but also makes the overall structure of the cup lid 01 more compact.
[0087] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the cover 1 has a first arcuate surface 18, which is recessed into the surface of the cover 1. The first arcuate surface 18 is coaxially arranged with the pivot axis of the flip cover 4, and the first arcuate surface 18 has a first protrusion 19. The end of the connecting arm 44 has a second arcuate surface 441, which is coaxially arranged with the pivot axis of the flip cover 4, and the second arcuate surface 441 has a second protrusion 442. When the flip cover 4 is flipped, the first protrusion 19 slides along the second arc surface 441, and the second protrusion 442 slides along the first arc surface 18. This not only provides reliable guidance for the flip cover 4 and increases the stability of its movement, but also reduces the contact area between the first arc surface 18 and the second arc surface 441, thereby reducing the resistance to the flipping movement of the flip cover 4. When the flip cover 4 moves to the open position, the second protrusion 442 passes over the first protrusion 19 and acts as a stop in the opposite direction, thereby locking the flip cover 4 in the open state and preventing the flip cover 4 from automatically flipping and colliding with the user when the user drinks liquid directly.
[0088] Furthermore, when the surface of the lid 1 is provided with a first receiving groove 1a, the connecting arm 44 is installed in the first receiving groove 1a, and the first arc-shaped surface 18 is recessed into the bottom of the first receiving groove 1a. On the side of the connecting arm 44 away from the lid 1, the second arc-shaped surface 441 is tangent to the surface of the connecting arm 44 to improve the flatness of the lid 01 surface. On the side of the connecting arm 44 facing the lid 1, the second arc-shaped surface 441 protrudes from the surface of the connecting arm 44, which can both locally strengthen the connecting arm 44 and improve the structural strength of the end of the connecting arm 44, and increase the arc range of the extension of the second arc-shaped surface 441, thereby increasing the effective range of the first protrusion 19.
[0089] Furthermore, the top edge of the cover 1 is provided with a first annular rib 15, and the inner side of the first rib 15 is connected to a second U-shaped rib 16. The two ends of the second rib 16 are connected to the first rib 15, and the drinking spout 12 is located within the area enclosed by the second rib 16 and the first rib 15. By raising the edge of the drinking spout 12 through the first rib 15 and the second rib 16, it is easier for users to drink directly from the spout and prevents problems such as spillage or leakage during drinking.
[0090] Furthermore, the flip cover 4 includes a cover body 41, a first wall portion 42, and a second wall portion 43. The cover body 41 is positioned above the drinking spout 12. The cover body 41 may be equipped with a sealing plug 411, which seals against the drinking spout 12 to ensure that the cover body 41 can reliably close the drinking spout 12. The first wall portion 42 and the second wall portion 43 protrude from the side of the cover body 41 facing the cover body 1 to reinforce the flip cover 4 and prevent deformation or breakage, which could affect the lifespan of the cup. The second wall portion 43 is closer to the axis of the cover body 1 than the first wall portion 42. A connecting arm 44 is located on the side of the second wall portion 43 facing the axis of the cover body 1, thereby achieving a pivotal connection between the flip cover 4 and the cover body 1.
[0091] Furthermore, the first wall portion 42 is located on the side of the first rib 15 away from the axis of the cover body 1, and the second wall portion 43 is located on the side of the second rib 16 facing the axis of the cover body 1. This avoids the first wall portion 42 and the second wall portion 43 occupying the space at the edge of the cover body 1, thereby minimizing the distance between the drinking spout 12 and the edge of the cover body 1. The first wall portion 42 cooperates with the outer wall of the cover body 1 to provide radial restraint for the flip cover 4, preventing the flip cover 4 from moving radially along the cover body 1 and improving the stability of the flip cover 4. The second wall portion 43 abuts against the upper surface of the cover body 1 (e.g., the bottom of the first receiving groove 1a), providing axial support for the flip cover 4 and preventing the flip cover 4 from collapsing or being damaged under external forces.
[0092] Furthermore, a latching protrusion 421 is provided on the side of the first wall portion 42 facing the second wall portion 43, and a latching groove 17 is provided on the outer side wall of the cover body 1. The latching protrusion 421 and the latching groove 17 cooperate with each other to lock the flip cover 4 in the closed state, preventing the flip cover 4 from being accidentally opened during use, causing the liquid in the cup to leak from the drinking spout 12.
[0093] Furthermore, along the direction away from the cover body 41, the inner surface of the second wall portion 43 gradually tilts away from the first wall portion 42, thereby forming an flared structure in the space below the cover body 41, making it easier to close the flip cover 4 and preventing interference between the flip cover 4 and the second rib 16 and other parts during the closing process.
[0094] Furthermore, along the direction away from the lid body 41, the thickness of the second wall portion 43 gradually decreases, so as to reduce the space occupied by the second wall portion 43 on the surface of the lid body 1, improve the utilization rate of the surface space of the cup lid 01, and make the overall structure of the cup lid 01 more compact.
[0095] like Figure 4 , Figures 6-8 As shown, the surface of the slider 3 may be provided with a handle 33. The user applies external force to the slider 3 through the handle 33, causing the slider 3 to slide along the nozzle 2. On the one hand, this reduces the space required to operate the slider 3 and improves the convenience of operating the slider 3; on the other hand, the direction of the external force applied by the user to the slider 3 is parallel to the direction of movement of the slider 3, making the operation of the slider 3 more effortless.
[0096] Furthermore, when the spout 2 is opened to its limit position away from the lid 1, the handle 33 can abut against the first rib 15. On the one hand, by contacting the first rib 15, the handle 33 supports and limits the spout 2, preventing the spout 2 from directly contacting and limiting the lid 1, thereby reducing the possibility of scratches or indentations on the surface of the spout 2; on the other hand, when drinking from the spout, the user can hold the cup with one hand while pressing the handle 33 with their thumb, so that the spout 2 can be kept more stably and reliably in the open position.
[0097] Furthermore, when the spout 2 is flipped open to its limit position away from the lid 1, the angle α between the axis of the spout 2 and the surface of the lid 1 is greater than 90° and not greater than 115°. In other words, the maximum angle of the spout 2's flipping motion is greater than 90° and not greater than 115°. For example, the angle α can be 91°, 93°, 95°, 99°, 100°, 104°, 107°, 110°, 112°, or 115°, ensuring both the stability of the spout 2 itself and the overall stability of the cup. When the angle α is less than or equal to 90°, the spout 2 is prone to reverse rotation under slight disturbances, causing it to close automatically. When the angle α is greater than or equal to 115°, the spout 2 deviates beyond the edge of the lid, making it more susceptible to impacts from external forces, potentially causing the cup to tip over. Furthermore, it affects the user's drinking angle and the comfort of the drinking method.
[0098] Furthermore, the slider 3 is fitted around the outer periphery of the suction nozzle 2, meaning that at least one section of the slider 3 is configured as a circumferentially closed annular structure. On one hand, the outer periphery of the suction nozzle 2 provides reliable radial limiting and axial guidance for the slider 3, eliminating the need for a dedicated guide structure between the suction nozzle 2 and the slider 3, thus simplifying the overall structure and reducing production costs. On the other hand, it increases the structural strength of the slider 3 itself, as well as the connection strength between the slider 3 and the suction nozzle 2, preventing damage such as deformation, breakage, or falling off of the slider 3. Understandably, in other embodiments, the slider 3 may only cover the portion of the suction nozzle 2 facing away from the cover 1, for example, by configuring the slider 3 as a plate-like or C-shaped structure.
[0099] Furthermore, along the sliding direction of the slider 3, the nozzle 2 is provided with at least one locking groove 24, and the slider 3 is provided with a locking component 31. When the locking component 31 is partially embedded in the locking groove 24, the position of the slider 3 relative to the nozzle 2 is fixed, thereby fixing the slider 3 in the target position, such as fixing the slider 3 in the open or closed position, preventing the position of the slider 3 from changing automatically during use and making it difficult to achieve the expected use purpose; when the locking component 31 slides out of the locking groove 24, the slider 3 can slide relative to the nozzle 2, thereby facilitating the user to adjust the position of the slider 3 as needed.
[0100] In some embodiments, the nozzle 2 is provided with at least two locking grooves 24, each locking groove 24 being spaced apart along the sliding direction of the slider 3. The locking groove 24 closest to the drinking portion 21 is the first locking groove 24, and the locking groove 24 closest to the connecting portion 22 is the second locking groove 24. When the locking assembly 31 is partially embedded in the first locking groove 24, the slider 3 blocks the drinking portion 21, thereby fixing the slider 3 in the closed position and providing reliable dust protection. When the locking assembly 31 is partially embedded in the second locking groove 24, the drinking portion 21 is exposed outside the slider 3, thereby fixing the slider 3 in the open position and ensuring that the user can drink the liquid in the cup through the drinking portion 21.
[0101] like Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the locking assembly 31 includes a pin 311. A portion of the pin 311 is exposed on the side of the slider 3 facing the nozzle 2. The pin 311 can slide in a direction close to or away from the nozzle 2, allowing it to engage or disengage from the locking groove 24. Furthermore, the direction of movement of the pin 311 is perpendicular to the direction of force applied to it. This ensures that the slider 3 remains stably in the target position while reducing the resistance to movement, making operation of the slider 3 easier. Specifically, when the pin 311 slides towards the nozzle 2, it engages in the locking groove 24, thus reliably fixing the slider 3; when the pin 311 slides away from the nozzle 2, it disengages from the locking groove 24, thereby reducing the resistance to movement of the slider 3.
[0102] Furthermore, the end of the pin 311 facing the nozzle 2 can be spherical, for example, the pin 311 can be spherical or cylindrical with a ball head. This reduces the sliding resistance of the pin 311 along the surface of the nozzle 2 and allows the pin 311 to interact with the groove wall of the locking groove 24, forcing the pin 311 to slide automatically away from the nozzle 2, thereby allowing the locking assembly 31 to automatically disengage from the locking groove 24, further improving the convenience of operation.
[0103] Furthermore, the locking assembly 31 also includes an elastic element 212. The elastic element 212 elastically abuts against the end of the pin 311 facing away from the nozzle 2, so as to force the pin 311 to abut against the surface of the nozzle 2. When the locking assembly 31 moves with the sliding member 3, so that the pin 311 is facing the locking groove 24, under the action of the elastic element 212, the pin 311 can automatically engage with the locking groove 24, thereby ensuring that the sliding member 3 accurately stops at the target position.
[0104] Furthermore, the locking assembly 31 also includes a sleeve 313, which is connected to the sliding member 3 and extends in a direction away from the nozzle 2. A pin 311 is slidably connected to the sleeve 313, with a portion of the pin 311 exposed at the end of the sleeve 313 facing the nozzle 2. On one hand, the sleeve 313 guides the pin 311, increasing the accuracy of its movement and reducing potential wobbling. On the other hand, the sleeve 313 provides local reinforcement within the sliding member 3, preventing the pin 311 from directly interacting with the sliding member 3, thus preventing deformation or breakage of the sliding member 3.
[0105] Furthermore, the end of the sleeve 313 facing away from the nozzle 2 is a closed end. The elastic element 212 is housed within the sleeve 313, with its two ends elastically abutting against the pin 311 and the closed end of the sleeve 313, respectively. On one hand, this allows the sleeve 313, the elastic element 212, and the pin 311 to be assembled outside the sliding member 3 to form the locking assembly 31, which is then inserted entirely into the sliding member 3, improving the convenience of the container cap assembly operation. On the other hand, it prevents the elastic element 212 from directly interacting with the sliding member 3, thereby preventing scratches or other damage to the surface of the sliding member 3 caused by the elastic element 212.
[0106] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in another embodiment, the locking assembly 31 includes a fixing part 314 and a protrusion. The fixing part 314 is integrally formed with the sliding member 3 to reduce the number of parts and improve the convenience of container cap assembly. The protrusion protrudes from the fixing part 314 on the side facing the nozzle 2. The protrusion engages or disengages from the locking groove 24 as the locking assembly 31 moves. Since the deformation of the protrusion is very small, it can increase the stability of the interaction between the sliding member 3 and the nozzle 2.
[0107] Furthermore, the sliding member 3 is provided with a through groove 32, and the fixing part 314 is strip-shaped. The two ends of the fixing part 314 along its own length direction are respectively connected to the groove wall of the through groove 32. The two ends of the fixing part 314 along its own width direction are separated from the groove wall of the through groove 32, so that the fixing part 314 can be bent and deformed along its own length direction, thereby increasing the overall deformation of the locking assembly 31, reducing the movement resistance of the sliding member 3, and making the operation of the sliding member 3 more effortless.
[0108] Furthermore, the suction nozzle 2 is provided with a sliding groove 25, which is arranged along the sliding direction of the slider 3, and the sliding groove 25 and the locking groove 24 are spaced apart from each other. On the one hand, when it is necessary to change the position of the slider 3, the protrusion disengages from the locking groove 24 and falls into the sliding groove 25, and slides along the sliding groove 25, thereby reducing the movement resistance of the slider 3 and making the operation of the slider 3 easier; on the other hand, when it is necessary to fix the position of the slider 3, the protrusion disengages from the end of the sliding groove 25 and engages in the locking groove 24, thereby serving as a prompt and ensuring that the slider 3 can stay in the target position.
[0109] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
