[0002] Currently, most cup lids on the market use a flip-top seal for spout sealing, which achieves a seal by flipping the lid to directly press the spout against the spout. While some products on the market attempt to use a horizontal push-pull design, this approach faces the following technical bottlenecks in practical applications: Incomplete or ineffective sealing structure: Most horizontal push-pull designs achieve a seal simply by the sliding plate fitting against the spout, failing to create an effective sealing interface, allowing liquid to easily leak out through the gaps. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a horizontally driven cup lid, which solves the problems of large operating angle and easy loosening of seals in flip-top cup lids.

[0004] The horizontally driven cup lid provided in this application includes:

[0005] The cup lid body is provided with a sliding groove, the sliding groove is provided with a water outlet and a first limiting structure, the water outlet is connected to the inner cavity of the cup body, and the limiting structure is provided on the groove wall of the sliding groove;

[0006] A sliding plate is slidably disposed on the slide groove. The sliding plate is provided with a mounting part and a second limiting structure. The mounting part is disposed on the side of the sliding plate facing the water outlet. The second limiting structure is adapted to the first limiting structure so that the sliding plate slides relative to the slide groove in a first direction.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first limiting structure includes two front guide rails and two rear guide rails. The two front guide rails are disposed on the side walls of the slide groove along the second direction. The two rear guide rails are respectively disposed on the rear side of the two front guide rails. The two rear guide rails are disposed on the side walls of the slide groove along the second direction. The two front guide rails are provided with guide rail grooves, which are used to guide the movement of the seal toward or away from the water outlet.

[0010] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the outlet is provided with a guide wall that receives the guide groove and is used to guide the seal to seal the outlet or slide out of the outlet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the guide walls are circumferentially distributed at the outlet.

[0012] In some embodiments, the sealing element includes an elastic element, a sealing bracket, and a sealing ring. The sealing ring has a mounting cavity and a sealing surface. The elastic element is fixed to the mounting cavity. The sealing ring is fitted onto the sealing bracket. The sealing bracket is adapted to the guide rail groove.

[0013] In some embodiments, the two front guide rails are respectively provided with limiting walls, the slide plate is also provided with an inner cavity on the side facing the slide groove, the inner cavity is provided with an elastic element, the slide groove is provided with a limiting rib, the limiting wall is used to limit the maximum open position of the slide plate, and the limiting rib and the elastic element are adapted to limit the closed position of the slide plate.

[0017] The horizontal sliding plate driven cup lid provided in this application embodiment employs a scheme where horizontal sliding operation triggers vertical sealing. The horizontal sliding plate, in conjunction with the sealing element, pushes and pulls the sliding plate within the cup lid body's groove laterally. When the sealing element moves above the outlet, it drives the elastic sealing plug of the sealing element to press against the inner wall of the outlet, thereby achieving a seal at the outlet. Compared to the line contact sealing structure used in flip-top cup lids, the cup lid in this application uses a sliding sealing structure. The sealing element is elastically installed on the mounting part, and sealing and opening can be completed by pushing and pulling the sliding plate horizontally with one hand. The circumference of the sealing element contacts the mounting part surface for sealing, resulting in a larger sealing area and sealing force, more uniform sealing, and a more secure and reliable seal.

[0035] In this application, "multiple" means two or more (including two).

[0036] The specific embodiments of this application will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a horizontally sliding plate driven cup lid provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0038] The horizontally driven cup lid provided in this application mainly includes a cup lid body 1, a sliding plate 2, and a sealing element 3. The cup lid body 1 is provided with a groove 11, the groove 11 is provided with an outlet 12 and a first limiting structure 13, the outlet 12 is connected to the inner cavity of the cup, and the limiting structure is provided on the groove wall of the groove 11. The sliding plate 2 can be plate-shaped, and its sliding plate 2 is slidably disposed in the groove 11. The sliding plate 2 is provided with a mounting part 21 and a second limiting structure 22. The mounting part 21 is disposed on the side of the sliding plate 2 facing the outlet 12, and the second limiting structure 22 is adapted to the first limiting structure 13 to ensure that the sliding plate 2 slides relative to the groove 11 in a first direction. The seal 3 is elastic, with one end fixed to the mounting part 21 and elastically mounted on the mounting part 21 of the slide plate 2. The other end is a movable sealing end. Driven by the slide plate 2, the seal 3 moves synchronously with the slide plate 2. Before moving to the outlet 12, the seal 3 is located within the space defined by the mounting part 21 of the slide plate 2 and the slide groove 11. When the seal 3 moves to the outlet 12, the removal of the slide groove 11 allows the seal 3 to disengage from the slide groove 11 and seal at the outlet 12 under elastic action. When it is necessary to open the cover, the slide plate 2 is pushed and pulled in the opposite direction. The slide plate 2 drives the seal 3 to move, and the seal 3 is gradually compressed in the slide groove 11 until it is completely contained in the slide groove 11.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown. In one specific embodiment, one of the first limiting structure 13 and the second limiting structure 22 includes a limiting guide rail, and the other includes a limiting groove. Specifically, the first limiting structure 13 includes a limiting guide rail, and the second limiting structure 22 includes a limiting groove. There can be at least two limiting guide rails distributed on the two side walls of the slide groove 11. Correspondingly, there are at least two limiting grooves distributed on the two side walls of the slide plate 2. During sliding, the slide plate 2 can slide precisely along the slide groove 11 through the cooperation of the limiting guide rail and the limiting groove. Specifically, the first limiting structure 13 includes a limiting groove, and the second limiting structure 22 includes a limiting guide rail. The limiting groove is distributed on the two side walls of the slide groove 11. Correspondingly, there are at least two limiting guide rails distributed on the two side walls of the slide plate 2. During sliding, the slide plate 2 slides along the slide groove 11 through the cooperation of the limiting guide rail and the limiting groove.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown. Optionally, the first limiting structure 13 includes two front guide rails 131 and two rear guide rails 132. The two front guide rails 131 are arranged along the second direction on the side walls of both sides of the slide groove 11, and the two rear guide rails 132 are respectively arranged on the rear side of the two front guide rails 131. The two rear guide rails 132 are arranged along the second direction on the side walls of the slide groove 11. The two front guide rails 131 are provided with guide rail grooves 133. By providing guide rail grooves 133 on the front guide rails 131, the sealing element 3 can be guided to move toward or away from the outlet 12, thereby guiding the sealing element 3 into the outlet 12, shortening the movement stroke of the sealing element 3, improving the sealing accuracy, and making the seal more secure.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown. Further, at least a portion of the outlet 12 is provided with a guide wall 121, which receives the guide groove 133 and can guide the seal 3 to seal the outlet 12 or slide out of the outlet 12. The outlet 12 is an annular sealing groove, and the inner wall of the outlet 12 is provided with a downwardly sloping guide wall 121 to guide the movement of the slide plate 2. The guide wall 121 can be provided on one side of the outlet 12 near the middle of the slide groove 11, on both sides of the outlet 12, or distributed circumferentially around the outlet 12. The guide wall 121 can guide the seal 3 to slide into or out of the outlet.

[0042] To ensure the movement accuracy of the slide plate 2, limiting walls 1311 can be respectively set on the two front guide rails 131. An inner cavity is also provided on the side of the slide plate 2 facing the slide groove 11, and an elastic element 15 is provided in the inner cavity. The slide groove 11 is provided with limiting ribs 14. The limiting walls 1311 can limit the maximum open position of the slide plate 2, and the limiting ribs 14 are used to limit the closed position of the slide plate 2. Limiting ribs 14 are provided at the ends of the guide rails for locking the slide plate 2 when closed.

[0043] Therefore, the embodiment of this application has a self-locking mechanism. After the slide plate 2 slides to the closed position, it is locked and fixed by the limiting rib 14 and the elastic member 15 to prevent the slide plate 2 from rebounding due to vibration or pressure fluctuation inside the cup, thus ensuring reliable sealing.

[0044] When the spout is fully open, the slide plate 2 slides to the side of the cup lid. Because the limiting wall 1311 of the front guide rail 131 prevents the slide plate 2 from sliding beyond its travel, the spout 12 is fully exposed. At this time, the elastic element is in a free state and is inside the cup lid, not exposed to the outside. When the user pushes the slide plate 2 horizontally, the sealing ring 32 bracket moves downward along the guide rail. Because the slide plate 2 limits the horizontal movement of the sealing ring 32 assembly, it can only generate vertical downward pressure, forming a seal when the spout 12 is fully covered. At this time, the limiting rib 14 and the elastic element 15 are matched, allowing the slide plate 2 to be stably in the closed position.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown. In one specific embodiment, the sealing element 3 includes an elastic element (not shown in the figure), a sealing bracket 31, and a sealing ring 32. The sealing ring 32 is provided with an installation cavity and a sealing surface. The elastic element may be, but is not limited to, a spring bead with a built-in spring. The elastic element is fixed to the installation cavity. The sealing ring 32 is fitted onto the sealing bracket 31. The sealing bracket 31 may be, but is not limited to, made of metal. The sealing ring 32 may be, but is not limited to, made of rubber or silicone. The sealing ring 32 can be adapted to the water outlet 12.

[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown. The sealing element 3 adopts a split sealing structure. The sealing ring 32 is sleeved on the sealing ring 32 bracket. The bracket arms extend from both sides of the sealing ring 32 bracket to cooperate with the inclined guide rail of the cup lid.

[0047] To facilitate pushing and pulling the skateboard 2, a pushing part 23 can be provided on the skateboard 2. The pushing part 23 makes it easy for the hand to push and pull the skateboard 2. The pushing part 23 can be equipped with an anti-slip structure to make the grip more reliable.

[0048] In this embodiment, the top surface of the slide plate 2 can be flush with the top surface of the cup lid body 1, and the appearance of the slide plate 2 and the cup lid body 1 are integrated into one, making it more harmonious and beautiful.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the cup lid driven by the horizontal sliding plate 2 of this application has dynamic pressure self-adaptation. The compression deformation of the sealing plug can be controlled within the range of 1~1.5mm by changing the guide rail slope, ensuring effective sealing under both positive and negative pressure conditions inside the cup. Furthermore, this application adopts an integrated limit feedback scheme. A limit rib 14 is provided at the end of the sliding plate 2. When sliding to the sealing position, the elastic element is embedded in the positioning groove of the cup lid body 1, providing tactile feedback and mechanical limit, preventing the sliding plate 2 from rebounding due to vibration or accidental contact, ensuring a stable sealing state. In addition, this application allows sealing and opening to be completed by a single-handed horizontal push and pull, forming an effective sealing interface. This solves the shortcomings of flip-top cup lids, such as large operating angles and easy loosening of the seal, preventing liquid leakage from gaps. This application dynamically links the movement of the sliding plate 2 with the sealing pressure, achieving coupling between the motion mechanism and the seal, improving the sealing pressure and sealing uniformity, thereby ensuring effective sealing inside the cup under both positive and negative pressure conditions.

[0050] In addition, this application also provides a cup, including a cup body and a cup lid, wherein the cup lid is fitted onto the cup body, and the cup lid is a cup lid driven by the horizontal sliding plate 2 as described in any of the above claims.

[0051] The above provides a detailed description of the horizontally driven cup lid and cup provided in this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this application without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this application.
