[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0039] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 A double-button cup lid includes a bottom cover 1, a middle flip cover 2 and a main flip cover 3, both of which rotate on one side of the bottom cover 1. Flipping the main flip cover 3 opens and closes the middle flip cover 2. The bottom cover 1 has a drinking spout 11, which contains a water outlet 12 and a connecting sealing part 13. The structure of the drinking spout 11 can be customized as needed. In this embodiment, the drinking spout 11 is an upwardly protruding drinking spout. The middle flip cover 2 has a suction nozzle 4 on the side near the main flip cover 3. The suction nozzle 4 corresponds to the connecting sealing part 13, which helps improve the sealing performance. A double-button device 5 is installed on the bottom cover 1, and a locking device 6 is provided on the middle flip cover 2 to engage with the double-button device 5 and the main flip cover 3. Activating one side of the dual-button device 5 unlocks the locking device 6 of the middle flip cover 2 from the main flip cover 3, allowing the main flip cover 3 to be flipped open for drinking through the spout 4 on the middle flip cover 2. Activating the other side of the dual-button device 5 unlocks the middle flip cover 2 from the bottom cover 1, allowing the middle flip cover 2 to open simultaneously with the main flip cover 3, enabling drinking through the direct drinking spout 11 on the bottom cover 1. When the main flip cover 3 flips downwards, it covers the middle flip cover 2, and vice versa. Alternatively, the main flip cover 3 can flip downwards along with the middle flip cover 2 to cover the bottom cover 1. The operation is extremely simple and convenient, facilitating widespread adoption. In this embodiment, a straw is provided at the bottom of the bottom cover 1 where the spout 4 is located, further enhancing the ease of drinking through the spout 4.

[0040] Example 2: This can be explained based on Example 1, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the dual-button device 5 includes a mounting groove 51 located on the bottom cover 1. A button 52 that moves back and forth is disposed in the mounting groove 51. The button 52 is connected to the mounting groove 51 via a pivot 53. This arrangement facilitates the movement of the button 52 around the pivot 53 (lever movement). The inner surface of the button 52 is provided with a pushing part 54 and a moving latch part 55. The pushing part 54 and the moving latch part 55 respectively cooperate with the locking device 6. The pushing part 54 and the moving latch part 55 cause the locking device 6 to unlock the corresponding middle flip cover 2 and main flip cover 3. Specifically, the pushing part 54 causes the locking device 6 to unlock, allowing the main flip cover 3 to flip upward and open, while the moving latch part 55 causes the locking device 6 to unlock, allowing the middle flip cover 2 to flip upward and open.

[0041] The bottom cover 1, the middle flip cover 2, and the main flip cover 3 of this utility model are hinged together by the same hinge shaft, which reduces the number of parts, saves costs, and facilitates the quick assembly of the cup lid.

[0042] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the outer surface of button 52 is provided with a first protrusion 521 and a second protrusion 522 for easy pressing. Only by pressing the first protrusion 521 or the second protrusion 522 can the button 52 move on one side of the pivot 53 (lever movement).

[0043] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating shaft 53 is located on the upper surface of the button 52, and a device slot is provided on the corresponding mounting groove 51. The rotating shaft 53 is installed in the device slot to realize the lever movement of the button 52; or, the rotating shaft 53 is located on the lower surface of the button 52, and a placement slot is provided on the mounting groove 51. The rotating shaft 53 is installed in the placement slot to realize the lever movement of the button 52; or the rotating shaft 53 passes through the button 52, and both ends of the rotating shaft 53 are located on the inner wall of the mounting groove 51. This arrangement is advantageous for realizing the lever movement of the button 52 with the rotating shaft 53. It can be seen that there are various forms and a wide range of choices.

[0044] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the pushing part 54 and the moving part 55 are both integrally formed with the button 52, which greatly improves the overall strength and also facilitates the movement of one side of the button 52 (lever movement) with the pivot 53 as the axis.

[0045] Example 3: This can be explained based on Example 2, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the locking device 6 includes a passive block 61 and a fixed buckle 62 respectively disposed on the middle flip cover 2 corresponding to the pushing part 54 and the moving part 55. A lower locking block 63 is provided at the position of the passive block 61, and a buckle hole 64 is provided on the moving part 55 to cooperate with the fixed buckle 62. An upper locking block 65 is provided on the main flip cover 3 to cooperate with the lower locking block 63. This arrangement is reasonable, simple in structure, easy to implement, and easy to operate, making it convenient for users to operate and use. When in use, when the outer surface of the button 52 on the side corresponding to the pushing part 54 is pressed, the pushing part 54 will push the passive block 61 to move inward. At this time, the upper locking block 65 on the main flip cover 3 can disengage from the upper locking block 65 on the passive block 61. Thus, the user can drink through the spout 4 on the middle flip cover 2 by simply flipping the main flip cover 3 upward. When drinking is not needed, the main flip cover 3 can be flipped downward, so that the upper locking block 65 on the main flip cover 3 re-engages with the lower locking block on the passive block 61. The 63-phase engagement is complete; when the outer surface of the button 52 on the corresponding side of the moving latch 55 is pressed, the moving latch 55 will also move inward. At this time, when the middle flip cover 2 is flipped upward, the fixed latch 62 will disengage from the latch hole 64 of the moving latch 55, thus the middle flip cover 2 can be flipped open, and the user can drink through the drinking spout 11 on the bottom cover 1. When not in use, simply flip the middle flip cover 2 downward so that the fixed latch 62 engages in the latch hole 64 of the moving latch 55 to close the middle flip cover 2. The operation is extremely simple and convenient. It should be noted that, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the passive block 61 and the middle flip cover 2 are connected as one unit through the first arc-shaped part 66 (which can also be chamfered), and the fixed buckle 62 and the middle flip cover 2 are connected as one unit through the second arc-shaped part 67 (which can also be chamfered). The design of the first arc-shaped part 66 and the second arc-shaped part 67 prevents the connection part from breaking and being damaged when it falls to the ground, thereby increasing the drop resistance and extending the service life.

[0046] To further explain, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom cover 1 is provided with a through hole for the passive block 61 and the fixed buckle 62 to pass through into the mounting groove 51. This arrangement is reasonable and facilitates the passive block 61 to be used in conjunction with the push part 54 and the moving buckle part 55 respectively.

[0047] Example 4: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, or Example 3, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a locking member 7 disposed on the dual-button device 5 to lock the main flip cover 3. A limiting part 31 cooperating with the locking member 7 is provided on the main flip cover 3. When the locking member 7 rotates above the limiting part 31, it blocks the limiting part 31, thus restricting the rotation of the main flip cover 3 and preventing the user from accidentally pressing the dual-button device 5 to open the main flip cover 3. Only when the locking member 7 disengages from the limiting part 31 can the dual-button device 5 be activated for opening. In this example, the locking member 7 and the dual-button device 5 are connected by a movable shaft, enabling the rotation of the locking member 7. The locking member 7 is n-shaped for easy operation and use.

[0048] Example 5: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 4, such as... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, it also includes an anti-splash part 21 provided on the middle flip cover 2 to prevent drinking water from splashing out through the mouthpiece 4. In this embodiment, the anti-splash part 21 is an arc-shaped plate integrally formed with the middle flip cover 2. This helps to prevent the mouthpiece 4 from being pressed down completely onto the upper surface of the middle flip cover 2 when the main flip cover 3 is flipped down and closed. When the main flip cover 3 is suddenly opened upwards, the mouthpiece 4 is suddenly popped out, and the water inside the mouthpiece 4 is splashed out, which may splash onto the user, especially if it is hot. This could cause the hot water inside the mouthpiece 4 to splash and injure the user, especially if the user is a child. Therefore, this design is more reasonable and safer. It helps to prevent the mouthpiece 4 from being completely pressed down onto the upper surface of the middle flip cover 2, thereby preventing the drinking water (especially hot water) inside the mouthpiece 4 from splashing onto the user (especially children) when it is suddenly popped up after the main flip cover 3 is no longer pressed down. It is more practical.

[0049] Example 6: Based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, or Example 5, this utility model also provides a cup, including a cup body, with a double-button cup lid as described above at the opening of the cup body. This makes it easier for users to operate quickly and conveniently when using the cup, facilitating drinking water and also promoting large-scale promotion and application.

[0050] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods that are mature in the existing technology, such as rotating shafts, nozzles, bottom covers, middle flip covers and main flip covers, and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
