Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dual drinking cup technology, specifically a dual drinking cup that can be locked in both directions. Background Technology

[0002] As a common type of water cup, the drinking spout usually consists of two parts: a direct drinking spout and a sipping spout. This can meet people's different drinking needs, namely, the need for direct drinking (drinking water directly) and sipping (drinking water through a straw).

[0003] The lid of a double drinking cup typically includes a bottom lid, a flip lid, and a top lid. The bottom lid is screwed onto the mouth of the cup body, the flip lid is rotatably mounted on one side of the bottom lid, and the top lid is rotatably mounted on the rotatable side of the flip lid. In order to open the flip lid and the top lid separately to expose the drinking spout and the sippy nozzle respectively, easy-to-open push-button latches are usually installed on the opening side of the flip lid and the opening side of the top lid.

[0004] During transport, if the cup is squeezed or bumped, the push-button lock may be accidentally activated, causing it to unlock and open the flip-top lid and / or top cover. This could expose the drinking spout and / or sippy cup partially or completely, resulting in the risk of water spilling out at any time. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects and deficiencies of the existing technology and provide a double drinking cup that can be locked in both directions. Based on the existing push-button lock, a key lock can be used to achieve two-way locking, so as to avoid the risk of water overflowing the cup due to accidental activation of the push-button lock by squeezing or collision, which would cause the flip-top lid and / or top lid to be opened by mistake.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0030] In this utility model, the first latch 5 includes a first button 51, a first latch 52, and two first connecting pieces 53 integrally connected between the first button 51 and the first latch 52 on both sides. The first button 51, the first latch 52, and the two first connecting pieces 53 are all slidably installed in the first mounting box 12. The first button 51 passes through the front side wall of the first mounting box 12 and extends outward. A first spring 15 is connected between the first latch 52 and the rear inner wall of the first mounting box 12. The two first connecting pieces 53 are each provided with a transverse waist-shaped through groove 16. The two first connecting pieces 53 are slidably fitted onto the pin 13 through the transverse waist-shaped through groove 16.

[0031] In this utility model, the opening side of the flip cover 3 is integrally connected with a downwardly extending first locking seat 17, which locks with the first locking tongue 52 to lock the flip cover 3.

[0032] In this utility model, the second latch 6 includes a second button 61, a second latch 62, and two second connecting pieces 63 integrally connected between the second button 61 and the two sides of the second latch 62. The second button 61, the second latch 62, and the two second connecting pieces 63 are all slidably installed in the second mounting box 14. The second button 61 passes through the front side wall of the second mounting box 14 and extends outward. A second spring 18 is connected between the second latch 62 and the rear inner wall of the second mounting box 14.

[0033] In this utility model, the opening side of the top cover 4 is integrally connected with a downwardly extending second locking seat 19, which locks and engages with the second locking tongue 62 to lock the top cover 4.

[0034] In this utility model, the key lock 7 includes a vertical key plate 71, a horizontal toggle key 72 integrally connected to the outer wall of the vertical key plate 71, and a vertical piece 73 integrally connected to both sides of the vertical key plate 71. The top and bottom ends of the vertical key plate 71 respectively abut against the inner sides of the second button 61 and the first button 51. The upper and lower ends of the vertical key plate 71 are provided with through holes 20. The vertical piece 73 is provided with a vertical waist-shaped through groove 21. The vertical piece 73 is slidably fitted onto the pin 13 through the vertical waist-shaped through groove 21.

[0035] In this utility model, a third locking tongue 64 is integrally connected to both sides of the rear end of the second locking tongue 62. The third locking tongue 64 is locked to the rear outer wall of the second mounting box 14, thereby limiting the second button 61 and the second locking tongue 62.

[0036] It should be noted that the cross-sections of both the first button 51 and the second button 61 are U-shaped.

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0038] Normally, the top and bottom of the vertical key piece 71 are respectively abutted against the inner sides of the second button 61 and the first button 51. Even if the first button 51 and the second button 61 are squeezed or collided, the first button 51 and the second button 61 will not move inward, that is, they will not unlock the flip cover 3 and the top cover 4, thus avoiding the risk of water in the cup overflowing at any time.

[0039] When direct drinking is required, the horizontal lever 72 is flipped down, causing the vertical key piece 71 to move downward. Then, the first button 51 is pressed, causing its inner side to insert into the lower through hole 20, pushing the first locking tongue 52 inward to separate from the first locking seat 17, thereby unlocking the flip cover 3 and compressing and storing energy in the first spring 15.

[0040] At this point, the torsion spring resets, generating a rebound effect that flips up the flip cover 3, revealing the drinking spout 8, allowing for direct drinking.

[0041] After drinking, press down the flip cover 3 and release the first button 51. The first spring 15 extends and returns to its original position, pushing the first button 51 and the first locking tongue 52 outward. The first button 51 disengages from the lower through hole 20, and the first locking tongue 52 locks itself again with the first locking seat 17, thus locking the flip cover 3. At the same time, the stopper 10 seals the drinking spout 8. At this time, the torsion spring twists and stores energy.

[0042] Then, move the horizontal lever 72 upwards so that its top and bottom ends abut against the inner sides of the second button 61 and the first button 51 respectively, thus locking the first latch 5 and the second latch 6 again.

[0043] When a drink is needed, the horizontal lever 72 is flipped upwards, causing the vertical lever 71 to move downwards. Then, the second button 61 is pressed, causing its inner side to insert into the upper through hole 20. This pushes the second locking tongue 62 inwards, separating it from the second locking seat 19, thus unlocking the top cover 4. The second spring 18 is compressed and stored. At the same time, the third locking tongue 64 moves inwards, separating from the rear outer wall of the second mounting box 14.

[0044] At this point, the downward-bent mouthpiece 11, which was pressed down by the top cover 4, returns to its original position, creating a rebound effect that lifts the top cover 4, exposing the mouthpiece 11, thus enabling drinking.

[0045] After drinking, press down the top cover 4 and release the second button 61. The second spring 18 extends and resets, pushing the second button 61, the second locking tongue 62 and the third locking tongue 64 outward. The second button 61 disengages from the upper through hole 20, and the second locking tongue 62 locks with the second locking seat 19 again, thus locking the top cover 4. The third locking tongue 64 locks with the rear outer wall of the second mounting box 14 again. At the same time, the upper part of the mouthpiece 11 bends downward and is pressed by the top cover 4.

[0046] Then, slide the horizontal lever 72 downwards so that its top and bottom ends abut against the inner sides of the second button 61 and the first button 51 respectively, locking the first latch 5 and the second latch 6 again.
