Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cup lids, and in particular to a flip-type automatic unlocking cup lid. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, children in kindergartens or primary schools generally bring their own insulated water bottles. After drinking from their bottles, children in the same class place them on a storage rack before going to class or playing. When they are thirsty after class or play, they find their own bottles on the rack. However, some children may mistakenly take another child's bottle, which is not good. If the child whose bottle was taken has a cold or other illness, another child may also contract the illness, affecting the children's health. A batch of water bottles on the market that require fingerprint unlocking to open the drinking spout lid have appeared, but the lid can be twisted open when the spout is closed, allowing anyone to open the bottle, thus failing to provide any real protection or safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a flip-type automatic unlocking cup lid, which solves the issue of low security performance of the cup lid, allowing anyone to open it.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a flip-type automatic unlocking cup lid, including a bottom cover, a middle cover, a flip cover, and an identification unlocking module. The middle cover and the flip cover are rotatably connected to the bottom cover. The middle cover is located between the bottom cover and the flip cover. The identification unlocking module is used to unlock the flip cover from the bottom cover. The identification unlocking module is disposed on the flip cover. The middle cover is provided with a drinking spout. The bottom cover is provided with a direct drinking spout and a water passage hole. A locking block is slidably connected to the bottom cover. The bottom cover has an outer side surface. The locking block is provided with a locking plate. The locking block has a limiting edge. The middle cover is provided with a limiting plate. When the middle cover and the bottom cover are closed, the end of the limiting plate is located on one side of the limiting edge. The limiting plate limits the locking block. The locking plate extends to the outer side surface. At this time, the locking block is in a travel-limited state. When the limiting plate disengages from the limiting edge, the locking plate can slide to the inner side of the outer side surface, and the locking block is in a travel-unlocked state.

[0005] With the above technical solution, when the user uses the device, the identification unlocking module is unlocked, allowing the flip cover and bottom cover to open. At this time, the drinking spout can be used for drinking. The limiting plate limits the locking block, and the locking plate extends to the outer side, allowing the locking block to remain engaged with the cup body. After rotating the middle cover to disengage the limiting plate from the limiting edge, the drinking spout can be used for drinking. Sliding the locking block allows the locking plate to slide to the inner side of the outer side of the bottom cover, at which point the locking plate separates from the cup body. In this invention, when the flip cover and bottom cover are closed, sliding the locking block will limit the locking block, and the locking block will still be engaged with the cup body. Only after the identification unlocking module is used to fully open the flip cover, middle cover, and bottom cover, and then sliding the locking block will not limit the locking block, allowing the bottom cover to disengage from the cup body, thus improving the safety performance of the cup lid.

[0006] Furthermore, the card block is connected to the bottom cover by an elastic element.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, the sliding block closes the bottom cover and the cup body, and the elastic element resets the block, making it easy for the block to engage with the cup body.

[0008] Furthermore, the two elastic elements are symmetrically arranged on the card block.

[0009] With the above technical solution, two elastic elements are symmetrically arranged on the block, so that the force on both sides of the block is even and the sliding is smoother.

[0010] Furthermore, the card block is provided with a baffle, and the limiting plate extends with a stop block. When the middle cover and the bottom cover are closed, the baffle can limit the stop block.

[0011] With the above technical solution, the sliding block can open the middle cover only when the baffle is disengaged from the limit of the block, and the closing effect of the middle cover and the bottom cover is better.

[0012] Furthermore, the stop block is provided with a first inclined surface, and the baffle is provided with a second inclined surface. During the closing process of the middle cover and the bottom cover, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface come into contact.

[0013] With the above technical solution, during the closing process of the middle cover and the bottom cover, the first inclined surface contacts the second inclined surface, allowing the locking block to slide towards the middle of the middle and bottom covers, making the closing of the middle cover and the bottom cover easier.

[0014] Furthermore, the card block is provided with a pressing part, and the bottom cover is provided with a sliding groove. The pressing part is slidably connected to the sliding groove. When the elastic element is extended to its maximum limit state, the outer surface of the pressing part is flush with the outer surface of the bottom cover.

[0015] With the above technical solution, when the elastic element is stretched to its maximum limit, the outer surface of the pressing part is flush with the outer surface of the bottom cover. When drinking water from the direct drinking spout, it is not easy to accidentally touch the block, thus preventing the bottom cover from detaching from the cup body.

[0016] Furthermore, the identification and unlocking module includes a motor, a first gear, a second gear, a cam, and a latching hook. The motor is fixed on the flip cover and drives the first gear to rotate. The second gear meshes with the first gear and is rotatably connected to the flip cover. The cam is connected to the second gear and abuts against the latching hook. The latching hook has a latching part, and the bottom cover has a latching hole. When the bottom cover and the flip cover are closed, the latching hook latches against the latching hole. The identification and unlocking module also includes a charging interface, a circuit board, a power supply, and an unlocking panel. The charging interface and the unlocking panel are disposed on the flip cover, and the circuit board and the power supply are disposed inside the flip cover. The charging interface, the circuit board, the power supply, the motor, and the unlocking panel are electrically connected.

[0017] The above technical solution controls the unlocking panel. The motor drives the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear to rotate. The cam rotates synchronously with the second gear. When the wider part of the cam can drive the latch hook to rotate, the latching part disengages from the latching hole, thus separating the flip cover and the bottom cover. The unlocking module has a simple structure and is more convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 A flip-type automatic unlocking cup lid includes a bottom cover 1, a middle cover 2, a flip cover 3, and an identification unlocking module 4. The middle cover 2 and the flip cover 3 are rotatably connected to the bottom cover 1. The middle cover 2 is located between the bottom cover 1 and the flip cover 3. The identification unlocking module 4 is used to unlock the flip cover 3 from the bottom cover 1. The identification unlocking module 4 is disposed on the flip cover 3. The middle cover 2 is provided with a drinking spout 201. The bottom cover 1 is provided with a direct drinking spout 101 and a water passage 102. A locking block 5 is slidably connected to the bottom cover 1. The bottom cover 1 is provided with an outer surface 103. The locking block 5 is... A latching plate 501 is provided, and a limiting edge 502 is provided on the latching block 5. A limiting plate 202 is provided on the middle cover 2. When the middle cover 2 and the bottom cover 1 are closed, the end of the limiting plate 202 is located on one side of the limiting edge 502. The limiting plate 202 limits the latching block 5, and the latching plate 501 extends to the outer side 103. At this time, the latching block 5 is in the travel limit state. When the limiting plate 202 is disengaged from the limiting edge 502, the latching plate 501 can slide to the inner side of the outer side 103, and the latching block 5 is in the travel unlock state.

[0037] When the user uses the device, the identification unlocking module 4 is unlocked, allowing the flip cover 3 and the bottom cover 1 to open. At this time, the drinking spout 201 can be used to drink water. The limiting plate 202 limits the locking block 5, and the locking plate 501 extends to the outer side 103, allowing the locking block 5 to remain locked with the cup body 7. After rotating the middle cover 2 to disengage the limiting plate 202 from the limiting edge 502, the drinking spout 101 can be used to drink water. Then, sliding the locking block 5 allows the locking plate 501 to slide to the inner side of the outer side 103 of the bottom cover 1, at which point the locking plate 501 separates from the cup body 7. In this invention, when the flip cover 3 and the bottom cover 1 are closed, sliding the locking block 5 will limit the locking plate 202, and the locking block 5 will still be locked with the cup body 7. Only after using the identification unlocking module 4 to fully open the flip cover 3, the middle cover 2, and the bottom cover 1, and then sliding the locking block 5, will not allow the limiting plate 202 to limit the locking block 5, allowing the bottom cover 1 to separate from the cup body 7, thus improving the safety performance of the cup lid.

[0038] See Figure 2The card block 5 is connected to the bottom cover 1 by an elastic element 6.

[0039] Slide the locking block 5 to close the bottom cover 1 and the cup body 7. The elastic element 6 resets the locking block 5, making it easy for the locking block 5 to engage with the cup body 7.

[0040] Preferably, the elastic element 6 is a spring.

[0041] See Figure 7 Two elastic elements 6 are symmetrically arranged on the card block 5.

[0042] Two elastic elements 6 are symmetrically arranged on the card block 5, so that the force is evenly distributed on both sides of the card block 5, making the sliding smoother.

[0043] See Figure 2 , Figure 7 The card block 5 is provided with a baffle 503 and a stop block 2021 extends from the limiting plate 202. When the middle cover 2 and the bottom cover 1 are closed, the baffle 503 can limit the stop block 2021.

[0044] When the sliding block 5 is disengaged from the stop block 2021, the middle cover 2 can be opened, and the middle cover 2 and the bottom cover 1 can be closed more effectively.

[0045] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 The stop block 2021 is provided with a first inclined surface 2022, and the baffle 503 is provided with a second inclined surface 504. During the closing process of the middle cover 2 and the bottom cover 1, the first inclined surface 2022 and the second inclined surface 504 come into contact.

[0046] During the closing process of the middle cover 2 and the bottom cover 1, the first inclined surface 2022 contacts the second inclined surface 504, allowing the locking block 5 to slide towards the middle of the middle and bottom cover 1, making the closing of the middle cover 2 and the bottom cover 1 easier.

[0047] See Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 The card block 5 is provided with a pressing part 505, and the bottom cover 1 is provided with a sliding groove 104. The pressing part 505 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 104. When the elastic member 6 is extended to the maximum limit state, the outer surface of the pressing part 505 is flush with the outer surface of the bottom cover 1.

[0048] When the elastic element 6 is stretched to its maximum limit, the outer surface of the pressing part 505 is flush with the outer surface of the bottom cover 1. When drinking water using the drinking spout 101, it is not easy to accidentally touch the locking block 5, thus preventing the bottom cover 1 from separating from the cup body 7.

[0049] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11The identification and unlocking module 4 includes a motor 401, a first gear 402, a second gear 403, a cam 404, and a latching hook 405. The motor 401 is fixed to the flip cover 3 and drives the first gear 402 to rotate. The second gear 403 meshes with the first gear 402 and rotates on the flip cover 3. The cam 404 is connected to the second gear 403 and abuts against the latching hook 405. The latching hook 405 is provided with a latching part 4051. The bottom cover 1 has a snap-fit ​​hole 105. When the bottom cover 1 and the flip cover 3 are closed, the snap-fit ​​hook 405 snaps into the snap-fit ​​hole 105. The identification and unlocking module 4 also includes a charging interface 406, a circuit board 407, a power supply 408, and an unlocking panel 409. The charging interface 406 and the unlocking panel 409 are located on the flip cover 3. The circuit board 407 and the power supply 408 are both located inside the flip cover 3. The charging interface 406, the circuit board 407, the power supply 408, the motor 401, and the unlocking panel 409 are electrically connected.

[0050] The control unlock panel 409 is controlled by a motor 401 that drives the first gear 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 403 to rotate. The cam 404 rotates synchronously with the second gear 403. When the wider part of the cam 404 can drive the latch hook 405 to rotate, the latching part 4051 disengages from the latching hole 105, thus separating the flip cover 3 and the bottom cover 1. The unlock module 4 has a simple structure and is more convenient to use.

[0051] The preferred unlocking method for the unlocking panel 409 is fingerprint unlocking.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
