Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of shaker cups, travel and sports water cups, and in particular to a lever-lock water cup. Background Technology

[0002] There are generally two types of lids for water cups: one type is directly threaded onto the cup, requiring the lid to be completely unscrewed when drinking; the other type is a lid body that is threaded onto the cup, with the flip-up lid hinged to the lid body and opened by pressing a button, i.e., a pop-up lid.

[0003] Threaded cup lids offer the advantages of tight sealing and high reliability, but they require unscrewing to open each time you drink, making them inconvenient to use. People with limited arm strength often struggle to unscrew them, making them difficult to use. Pop-up cup lids require less arm strength to open easily, but they are prone to accidental activation, or being accidentally opened by pressure inside storage boxes or bags, resulting in lower reliability and obvious drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a toggle-type locking cup, including a cup body and a cup lid threadedly connected to the cup body. The top of the cup lid is provided with a lifting ring and a drinking spout. A flip cover is pivotally connected to the inner side of the lifting ring. A sealing head corresponding to the drinking spout is protruding from the lower side of the outer end of the flip cover. A locking head and an elastic member that pushes the locking head outward are movably installed at the base of the sealing head. A wedge-shaped locking tongue is provided at the front end of the locking head. A locking hole corresponding to the wedge-shaped locking tongue is opened on the inner wall of the drinking spout. When locking the lid, the wedge-shaped locking tongue is embedded in the locking hole. A toggle member that can move left and right is installed at the front end of the locking head. The inner side of the toggle member and the front end of the locking head are provided with misaligned teeth. When locking, the misaligned teeth of the toggle member and the misaligned teeth of the locking head are aligned with each other. When unlocking, the misaligned teeth of the toggle member and the misaligned teeth of the locking head are intersected. When the locking head is pressed, the misaligned teeth of the toggle member and the misaligned teeth of the locking head are engaged with each other.

[0006] Preferably, the lower inner diameter of the drinking spout is smaller than the upper inner diameter, and the outer diameter of the sealing head is between the lower inner diameter and the upper inner diameter of the drinking spout.

[0007] Preferably, a double-ring sealing ring is provided at the lower circumference of the sealing head, and an annular groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the double-ring sealing ring.

[0008] Preferably, a single-ring sealing ring is embedded in the inner end of the internal thread of the cup lid, and the inner ring side of the single-ring sealing ring is provided with a lug.

[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the misaligned teeth of the actuating member is provided with a first protrusion, and the lock head is provided with a second protrusion. The tops of the first protrusion and the second protrusion interfere with each other. When the actuating member moves left and right, the left and right positions of the first protrusion and the second protrusion are interchanged.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting ring is U-shaped, and the two supporting legs of the lifting ring are integrally formed with the cup lid. The inner sides of the two supporting legs are provided with pivot holes, and the two sides of the flip cover are provided with pivot pins, which are movably embedded in the pivot holes.

[0011] Preferably, the inner end of the flip cover is provided with a third protrusion, and the lower part of the lifting ring is provided with a fourth protrusion. The tops of the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion interfere with each other. When the flip cover is opened and closed, the front and rear positions of the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion are interchanged.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the cup body is provided with stepped anti-slip texture, and the width of the stepped anti-slip texture is 5 to 10 times the width of the ladder surface.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a toggle-type locking water cup. In the locked state, the wedge-shaped locking tongue is embedded in the lock hole, and the misaligned teeth of the toggle component are aligned with the misaligned teeth of the lock head. At this time, the lock head cannot be pressed in, and the wedge-shaped locking tongue cannot disengage from the lock hole. Even if subjected to external force or vibration, the flip cover cannot be opened. The structure is stable and reliable in the locked state. When it is necessary to open the lid to drink water, push the toggle component left and right to make the misaligned teeth of the toggle component interlock with the lock head. At this time, press the lock head. Because the misaligned teeth of the toggle component and the misaligned teeth of the lock head mesh with each other, the lock head can be easily pressed in, the wedge-shaped locking tongue disengages from the lock hole, and the flip cover can be opened normally. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and no great arm strength is required. The lid can be easily opened with one hand, making it highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a lever-lock water cup includes a cup body 1 and a cup lid 2 threadedly connected to the cup body 1. The top of the cup lid 2 is provided with a lifting ring 21 and a drinking spout 22. A flip cover 3 is pivotally connected to the inner side of the lifting ring 21. A sealing head 31 corresponding to and abutting against the drinking spout 22 is provided on the lower side of the outer end of the flip cover 3. A locking head 32 and an elastic member that pushes the locking head 32 outward are movably installed at the base of the sealing head 31. A wedge-shaped locking tongue 33 is provided at the front end of the locking head 32. The inner wall of the drinking spout 22 is provided with a corresponding opening to the wedge-shaped locking tongue 33. When the lock is locked, the wedge-shaped latch 33 is inserted into the lock hole 34. The front end of the lock head 32 is equipped with a movable actuating member 35. The inner side of the actuating member 35 and the front end of the lock head 32 are provided with misaligned teeth 36. When locking, the misaligned teeth 36 of the actuating member 35 and the misaligned teeth 36 of the lock head 32 are aligned with each other. When unlocking, the misaligned teeth 36 of the actuating member 35 and the misaligned teeth 36 of the lock head 32 are intersected. When the lock head 32 is pressed, the misaligned teeth 36 of the actuating member 35 and the misaligned teeth 36 of the lock head 32 are engaged with each other.

[0021] In practical applications, when the cover is locked, the wedge-shaped latch 33 is embedded in the lock hole 34, and the misaligned teeth 36 of the actuating member 35 are aligned with the misaligned teeth 36 of the lock head 32. At this time, the lock head 32 cannot be pressed in, and the wedge-shaped latch 33 cannot disengage from the lock hole 34. Even if subjected to external force or vibration, the flip cover 3 cannot be opened. The structure is stable and reliable when the cover is locked. When it is necessary to open the cover to drink water, the actuating member 35 is pushed left and right, so that the misaligned teeth 36 of the actuating member 35 and the lock head 32 are interlocked. When the lock head 32 is pressed, since the misaligned teeth 36 of the actuating member 35 and the misaligned teeth 36 of the lock head 32 are engaged, the lock head 32 can be easily pressed in, the wedge-shaped latch 33 disengages from the lock hole 34, and the flip cover 3 can be opened normally. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and no great arm strength is required. The cover can be easily opened with one hand, making it highly practical.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lower inner diameter of the drinking port 22 is smaller than the upper inner diameter, and the outer diameter of the sealing head 31 is between the lower and upper inner diameters of the drinking port 22. Specifically, a double-ring sealing ring 39 is provided at the lower circumference of the sealing head 31, and an annular groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the double-ring sealing ring 39.

[0023] The drinking spout 22 adopts a structure design with a gradually decreasing inner diameter from the top to the bottom, which greatly improves the clamping force between the double ring sealing ring 39 and the inside of the drinking spout 22, and the sealing performance is significantly enhanced. The double sealing line design effectively blocks the liquid penetration path, and the sealing performance can still be guaranteed even if one side of the seal fails, resulting in higher reliability.

[0024] In this embodiment, a single-ring sealing ring 37 is embedded in the inner end of the internal thread of the cup lid 2, and a lug 38 is provided on the inner ring side of the single-ring sealing ring 37. After the water cup needs to be thoroughly cleaned after a period of use, the single-ring sealing ring 37 can be easily removed for separate cleaning using the lug 38, solving the problem that conventional single-ring sealing rings 37 are difficult to remove, thus making it more practical.

[0025] In this embodiment, the outer side of the misaligned teeth 36 of the actuating member 35 is provided with a first protrusion 3A, and the lock head 32 is provided with a second protrusion 3B. The tops of the first protrusion 3A and the second protrusion 3B interfere with each other. When the actuating member 35 moves left and right, the left and right positions of the first protrusion 3A and the second protrusion 3B are interchanged. This prevents the actuating member 35 from sliding automatically due to vibration or gravity, ensuring a stable and reliable locking state.

[0026] In this embodiment, the lifting ring 21 is U-shaped. The ends of the two support legs 23 of the lifting ring 21 are integrally formed with the cup lid 2. Pivot holes 24 are provided on the inner sides of the two support legs 23. Pivot pins 25 are provided on both sides of the flip cover 3, and the pivot pins 25 are movably embedded in the pivot holes 24. The structure is compact, avoiding the problem of easy loosening of the split lifting ring 21 and improving the overall strength.

[0027] In this embodiment, a third protrusion 3C is provided on the inner outer wall of the flip cover 3, and a fourth protrusion 3D is provided below the lifting ring 21. The tops of the third protrusion 3C and the fourth protrusion 3D interfere with each other. When the flip cover 3 is opened and closed, the front and rear positions of the third protrusion 3C and the fourth protrusion 3D are interchanged. When opening and closing the flip cover 3, the structure of the third protrusion 3C and the fourth protrusion 3D is used to maintain the posture of the flip cover 3, fix the opening and closing angle of the flip cover 3, prevent the flip cover 3 from falling over when drinking water, and prevent the flip cover 3 from being accidentally closed or over-opened, thus affecting its use.

[0028] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the cup body 1 is provided with stepped anti-slip texture 11, the width of which is 5 to 10 times the width of the step surface. This balances anti-slip performance with aesthetic appeal, meets ergonomic grip requirements, and significantly improves practicality.
