Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure belongs to the field of water storage container technology, and relates to a container lid and a container. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, higher requirements are being placed on water storage containers. Currently, the most common containers for water storage are water cups, which are usually flip-top cups. To meet the needs of different groups of people, sliding-top cups have also appeared in people's lives. How to prevent others from misusing containers with this type of lid is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this disclosure is to provide a container lid and container that can effectively prevent misuse by others.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides the following technical solution:

[0005] This disclosure provides a container lid, comprising a lid body, a sliding cover, at least two latches, and a fingerprint unlocking module. The lid body is connected to the opening of a container body. The sliding cover is disposed on the lid body and can slide and open relative to the lid body. At least two latches are disposed in the lid body, with the lower ends of the latches extending relative to the side wall of the lid body to engage with the container body, and the upper ends of the latches protruding from the upper surface of the lid body. When the sliding cover is open, operating the upper ends of at least two latches allows them to move towards each other relative to the lid body, causing the lower ends of at least two latches to retract into the lid body to separate from the container body. The fingerprint unlocking module is disposed on the sliding cover or the lid body, and operating the fingerprint unlocking module allows the sliding cover to slide relative to the lid body.

[0006] This disclosure features at least two latches whose upper ends protrude from the upper surface of the lid body, facilitating user operation. When the upper ends of the latches move towards the lid body, their lower ends retract relative to the lid body, separating the latches from the container body, thus achieving separation of the container lid from the container body. Furthermore, a sliding cover is slidably disposed above the lid body. When the sliding cover is closed, the upper ends of the latches are covered and blocked, preventing user operation. When the sliding cover is open, it is positioned to one side relative to the lid body, exposing the upper surface of the lid body, allowing user operation of the latches. This sliding cover on the lid body establishes conditions for latch operation, preventing accidental activation. In addition, the container lid includes a fingerprint unlocking module that can acquire the user's fingerprint information. Only when the fingerprint information meets predetermined conditions can the sliding cover release its locking mechanism relative to the lid body, ensuring the container lid is for exclusive use by a single person.

[0007] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the container lid further includes a sliding cover locking structure disposed on the sliding cover. When the sliding cover is in the closed position relative to the lid body, the sliding cover locking structure can lock the sliding cover relative to the lid body. The fingerprint unlocking module includes a fingerprint recognition module and a controller. The fingerprint recognition module is used to recognize fingerprint information. When the fingerprint information recognized by the fingerprint recognition module matches the pre-stored fingerprint information, the controller can control the sliding cover locking structure to unlock the sliding cover, so that the sliding cover can slide relative to the lid body.

[0008] This invention utilizes a fingerprint recognition module to match a user's fingerprint. When fingerprint matching is successful, a cam is activated to push a latch through a latch hole, causing it to retract and unlock the sliding cover. The cover can then slide relative to the main body. When fingerprint matching fails, the latch cannot retract, preventing the cover from unlocking and thus preventing accidental use of someone else's water bottle.

[0009] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the sliding cover has a sliding cover receiving cavity inside, and the bottom wall of the sliding cover receiving cavity is provided with a locking pin through hole. The sliding cover locking structure includes a locking pin and a driving unit. The locking pin is disposed in the sliding cover receiving cavity and can extend downward through the locking pin through hole. When the sliding cover is in the closed position, the locking pin can cooperate with the cover body to limit the sliding cover from sliding relative to the cover body. The driving unit is disposed in the sliding cover receiving cavity, and the controller can control the operation of the driving unit to drive the locking pin to retract into the sliding cover receiving cavity.

[0010] In this disclosure, when the sliding cover is in the closed position, the locking pin can extend outward through the locking pin hole. At this time, the sliding cover is locked relative to the cover body and cannot slide relative to it. The operating buckle cannot be operated, and the container cover will remain locked with the cover body.

[0011] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the drive unit includes a cam and a motor. The cam is rotatably disposed in the sliding cover receiving cavity and is connected to or abuts against the locking pin, for driving the locking pin to retract into the sliding cover receiving cavity. The motor is disposed in the sliding cover receiving cavity and is used to drive the cam to rotate. The cam can cause the locking pin to retract inward from the locking pin through hole, thereby unlocking the sliding cover relative to the cover body, at which time the sliding cover can slide relative to the cover body.

[0012] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the sliding cover locking structure further includes a first elastic member disposed in the sliding cover receiving cavity, for applying a force to the latch to extend the latch outward. When the sliding cover is in the closed position, the first elastic member allows the latch to remain in the extended state, thereby keeping the sliding cover locked relative to the cover body, preventing the sliding cover from accidentally sliding and opening relative to the cover body, and improving the reliability of the container cover.

[0013] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a cam abutment is provided on the side of the latch, the rotation axis of the cam is perpendicular to the movement direction of the latch, and the outer peripheral wall of the cam can contact the cam abutment to drive the latch to retract inward relative to the receiving cavity. Through the contact between the cam abutment and the cam, the latch can be moved upward relative to the sliding cover during the rotation of the cam, thereby retracting through the latch perforation.

[0014] Specifically, the latch includes a latch body and a support arm. The latch body is disposed within the sliding cover receiving cavity and is capable of moving up and down relative to the sliding cover. The support arm extends outwardly from the side wall of the latch body, and the extension direction of the support arm is perpendicular to the movement direction of the latch body relative to the sliding cover. The cam abutment portion is located on the support arm. The first elastic element and the cam are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the support arm along the movement direction of the latch. The latch structure provided in this embodiment is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0015] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the lid body is provided with a water outlet channel that connects the interior and exterior of the container body. A nozzle receiving groove is provided on the top of the lid body, and the water outlet channel is disposed in the nozzle receiving groove. The container lid also includes a nozzle, which is installed in the water outlet channel. When the sliding lid is in the closed position, the nozzle can be bent and folded into the nozzle receiving groove to block the water outlet channel. By providing a nozzle receiving groove on the top of the lid body, the nozzle can be bent to block the water outlet channel during the sliding of the sliding lid relative to the lid body, thus keeping the container in a sealed state. Furthermore, the nozzle can be bent and stored in the nozzle receiving groove, avoiding interference with the sliding of the sliding lid.

[0016] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the top of the cover body is provided with two first guide portions, which are spaced apart on both sides of the suction nozzle receiving groove. The sliding cover is provided with a second guide portion that matches the first guide portions. One of the first guide portions and the second guide portion is a guide groove, and the other is a guide rail. The guide rail is slidably disposed within the guide groove. This disclosure uses the cooperation of the first guide portions and the second guide portions to guide the sliding cover to slide relative to the cover body.

[0017] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the container lid further includes a limiting portion, which protrudes from the lower surface of the sliding lid and is disposed at the first end of the second guide portion and located between the two second guide portions. The locking pin is disposed at the second end of the second guide portion opposite to the first end. When the sliding lid is in the closed position, the bottom end of the locking pin stops and engages with the groove wall of the nozzle receiving groove, so as to limit the sliding lid by means of the nozzle receiving groove and the locking pin, thereby locking the sliding lid in the closed position. At this time, the locking pin is engaged with the groove wall of the nozzle receiving groove. During the sliding of the sliding lid relative to the lid body, the second end of the second guide portion can move away from the lid body, and the limiting portion remains in the nozzle receiving groove. When the sliding lid is in the open position, the limiting portion stops and engages with the groove wall of the nozzle receiving groove, thereby keeping the sliding lid connected to the lid body without detaching, further improving the reliability of the container lid.

[0018] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the lid body has a snap-fit ​​receiving cavity, the snap-fit ​​is disposed in the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity, and the container lid further includes a second elastic member disposed in the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity. The second elastic member is used to apply a force to the snap-fit, causing the outwardly protruding part of the snap-fit ​​to extend outward. This disclosure applies a force to the snap-fit ​​by the second elastic member, keeping the outwardly protruding part extended outward, thereby preventing the outwardly protruding part from accidentally retracting and improving the reliability of the container lid.

[0019] Specifically, the water outlet channel is disposed in the buckle receiving cavity, and there are two buckles respectively disposed on opposite sides of the water outlet channel. The second elastic element is compressed and disposed between the outer wall of the water outlet channel and the buckles.

[0020] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the cover body has a snap-fit ​​receiving cavity, the snap-fit ​​is disposed in the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity, the top wall of the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity is provided with at least two snap-fit ​​through holes, the circumferential side wall of the cover body is provided with snap-fit ​​holes, the upper end of the snap-fit ​​extends outward from the snap-fit ​​through holes to form an operating protrusion, and the lower end of the snap-fit ​​is provided with an outwardly folding snap protrusion. The outwardly folding snap protrusion extends outward through the snap-fit ​​holes to be inserted into the slot of the container body. When the operating protrusion is pressed towards the center of the cover body, the outwardly folding snap protrusion retracts inward through the snap-fit ​​holes to separate from the container body. This disclosure simplifies operation by allowing the snap-fit ​​to retract inward through the snap-fit ​​holes when the operating protrusion is pressed towards the center of the cover body.

[0021] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a container is provided, including a container body and a container lid as described above, wherein the lid body is connected to the container body. Attached Figure Description

[0049] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should not be construed that the embodiments of this disclosure are limited to those described herein. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0050] This disclosure provides a container including a container body 20 and a container lid 10. The container body 20 is provided with an opening, and the container lid 10 can close the opening. When liquid is stored in the container body 20, the container lid 10 can close the opening of the container body 20 to effectively prevent liquid leakage, but is not limited thereto.

[0051] As an example, the container in this embodiment can be a water cup, such as an insulated water cup, but it is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the water cup is placed vertically as an example, with the opening of the water cup located at the top, and the container lid 10 can close onto the opening of the cup body.

[0052] The container lid 10 provided in this embodiment may include a lid body 100 and a sliding cover 200. The sliding cover 200 is slidably connected to the lid body 100, and the sliding cover 200 can slide relative to the lid body 100 between an open position and a closed position.

[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The sliding cover 200 can be disposed above the cover body 100, and the sliding cover 200 can slide horizontally relative to the cover body 100, that is, the sliding cover 200 slides horizontally relative to the upper surface of the cover body 100. When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position relative to the cover body 100, the sliding cover 200 can cover the top surface of the cover body 100, such as... Figure 2 As shown. When the sliding cover 200 is in the open position, the sliding cover 200 can slide relative to the cover body 100 to one side of the cover body 100, so that the top surface of the cover body 100 is exposed, as shown. Figure 3 As shown.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In order to reliably connect with the container body 20, the container lid 10 may include at least two latches 107. The latches 107 are disposed in the lid body 100, and the lower ends of the latches 107 can extend relative to the outer peripheral sidewall of the lid body 100 to engage with the container body 20. For example, but not limited to, a groove 21 is provided on the inner wall of the opening of the container body 20 (e.g., Figure 8 As shown), the lower end of the buckle 107 can be inserted into the slot 21 to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection between the cover body 100 and the container body 20, but this is not the only limitation.

[0055] In this embodiment, the upper end of the latch 107 protrudes from the upper surface of the lid body 100 to facilitate user operation. When the sliding lid 200 is open, the upper end of the latch 107 can move relative to the lid body 100, while the lower end of the latch 107 retracts into the lid body 100 to separate from the container body 20. In this embodiment, the upper end of the latch 107 protruding from the upper surface of the lid body 100 facilitates user gripping and operation, allowing operation of the latch 107 to be achieved by operating the upper end of the latch 107.

[0056] In this embodiment, the cap body 100 is movably connected to the cap body 100 via a snap fastener 107. The lower end of the snap fastener 107 can extend or retract relative to the outer peripheral sidewall of the cap body 100 to engage or disengage with the slot 21 on the inner sidewall of the opening of the container body 20, thereby enabling the cap body 100 to be reliably connected to the container body 20 or separated from the container body 20.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 Specifically, the cover body 100 may have a snap-fit ​​receiving cavity, in which a snap-fit ​​107 is disposed. The top wall of the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity is provided with at least two snap-fit ​​through holes 108, and the circumferential side wall of the cover body 100 is provided with at least two snap-fit ​​holes 109. The snap-fit ​​receiving cavity communicates with the outside through the snap-fit ​​through holes 108 and the snap-fit ​​holes 109 respectively. The upper end of the snap-fit ​​107 extends outward from the snap-fit ​​through hole 108 for user operation, and the lower end of the snap-fit ​​107 extends outward through the snap-fit ​​hole 109. For example, but not limited to, the lower end of the snap-fit ​​107 is provided with an outwardly folding snap 1072, which can extend outward through the snap-fit ​​hole 109 to be inserted into the slot 21 of the container body 20.

[0058] When the upper end of the buckle 107 is pressed toward the center of the cover body 100, the lower end of the buckle 107 retracts inward through the buckle hole 109 to separate from the container body 20.

[0059] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The buckle 107 may include a buckle body 1071 extending along the height direction of the container lid 10. The upper end of the buckle body 1071 extends outward through the buckle through hole 108. The upper end of the buckle body 1071 may be formed as an operating protrusion 1075. The lower end of the buckle body 1071 is provided with an outwardly folding buckle protrusion 1072. The outwardly folding buckle protrusion 1072 can extend through the buckle hole 109 to the outside of the lid body 100 and engage with the cup body's buckle groove 21.

[0060] To improve the reliability of the buckle 107, a first limiting protrusion 1073 and a second limiting protrusion 1074 are provided in the middle of the buckle body 1071 along the height direction of the container lid 10, extending outward from the side wall of the buckle body 1071. The first limiting protrusion 1073 and the second limiting protrusion 1074 are respectively located below the top wall of the buckle receiving cavity. The bottom surface of the buckle 107 is supported on the bottom wall of the buckle receiving cavity, so that the buckle 107 is limited in the buckle receiving cavity, preventing the buckle 107 from moving up and down relative to the lid body 100, thus improving the stability of the buckle 107 in use.

[0061] To enable the latch 107 to quickly reset, the container lid also includes a second elastic element 106 disposed within the latch receiving cavity, which applies a force to the latch 107 to cause the outwardly extending latch protrusion 1072 to extend outward. In this embodiment, the second elastic element 106 can be a compression spring, and the extension direction of the compression spring is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding cover 200 relative to the cover body 100, but this is not a limitation. In this embodiment, the second elastic element 106 extends horizontally and is compressed between the cavity wall of the latch receiving cavity and the latch 107, thereby enabling an outward pushing force to be applied to the latch 107, but this is not a limitation.

[0062] As an example, at least two latches 107 are spaced apart circumferentially along the cover body 100. Alternatively, at least two latches 107 are evenly spaced circumferentially along the cover body 100.

[0063] For ease of description, this embodiment uses two buckles 107 as an example. When the horizontally driven operation protrusion 1075 is driven relative to the upper surface of the lid body 100, the two buckles 107 can approach each other to converge towards the center of the lid body 100, thereby causing the outwardly folding protrusion 1072 to disengage from the slot 21. At this time, the container lid 10 and the container body 20 can be separated.

[0064] In this embodiment, the user operates the protrusion 1075 horizontally, causing the two latches 107 to converge towards the center relative to the lid body 100. This allows the latches 107 to move horizontally relative to the lid body 100 and retract inward through the latch holes 109, thereby separating the lid body 100 from the container body 20. Furthermore, the two latches 107 are arranged facing each other, but this is not a limitation.

[0065] The above embodiment uses two buckles 107 as an example for illustration, but it is not limited to this. The number of buckles 107 can be set as needed.

[0066] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3To improve the ease of use of the container lid 10, a water outlet channel 101 can be provided on the lid body 100. When the water outlet channel 101 is opened, the liquid in the container body 20 can flow out through the water outlet channel 101 for the user to drink.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the water outlet channel 101 is closed and the container body 20 is in a sealed state.

[0068] As an example, the container lid may also include a spout 102, which can communicate with a straw inside the container body 20 through a water outlet channel 101. For example, but not limited to, the spout 102 can be inserted into the water outlet channel 101 and communicate with a straw inside the cup body, or both ends of the water outlet channel 101 can be communicated with the spout 102 and the straw respectively, so that the spout 102 can communicate with the straw through the water outlet channel 101, but this is not a limitation. As an example, the water outlet channel 101 is disposed in the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity, and two snaps 107 are provided, with the two snaps 107 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the water outlet channel 101. The second elastic member 106 is compressed and disposed between the outer wall of the water outlet channel 101 and the snaps 107, but this is not a limitation.

[0069] Reference Figure 4 The top of the cover body 100 may be provided with a nozzle receiving groove, and the water outlet channel 101 is provided in the nozzle receiving groove. The nozzle 102 is connected to the container body 20 through the water outlet channel 101. When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the nozzle 102 can be bent and folded in the nozzle receiving groove to block the water outlet channel 101, thereby making the container in a sealed state.

[0070] To improve the moving reliability of the sliding cover 200, the cover body 100 is provided with two first guide portions 110 (such as...). Figure 4 As shown), two first guide portions 110 are spaced apart on both sides of the nozzle receiving groove, and the sliding cover 200 is provided with a second guide portion 203 that matches the first guide portions 110 (as shown). Figure 6 As shown), one of the first guide portion 110 and the second guide portion 203 is a guide groove and the other is a guide rail. The guide rail is slidably disposed in the guide groove, so that the sliding cover 200 can reliably slide relative to the cover body 100.

[0071] In fact, in this embodiment, the suction nozzle 102 is arranged at intervals between the two first guide portions 110. When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the suction nozzle 102 extends approximately parallel to the two first guide portions 110, but is not limited thereto.

[0072] return Figure 2The lid body 100 is also provided with a vent 103, which remains open to the outside when the user drinks the liquid in the cup. The spout 102 is provided with an air hole seal 104, which blocks the vent 103 when the sliding lid 200 is in the closed position, thereby preventing liquid from leaking out through the vent 103, but this is not the only limitation.

[0073] Reference Figure 6 Furthermore, in order to prevent the sliding cover 200 from sliding off relative to the cover body 100, the container cover may also include a limiting part 307, which protrudes downward from the lower surface of the sliding cover 200 and is disposed at the first end of the second guide part 203 and is located between the two second guide parts 203. A locking pin 301 is disposed at the second end of the second guide part 203, wherein the first end and the second end are disposed opposite to each other.

[0074] return Figure 2 When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the bottom end of the locking pin 301 is engaged with the wall of the nozzle receiving groove, and the first end of the second guide part 203 is engaged with the protrusion 111 of the cover body 100. At this time, the limiting part 307 is in the nozzle receiving groove. The limiting of the sliding cover 200 is achieved by the cooperation between the first end of the second guide part 203 and the locking pin 301.

[0075] return Figure 3 During the sliding process of the sliding cover 200 relative to the cover body 100, the second end of the second guide part 203 can move away from the cover body 100, and the locking pin 301 located at the second end of the second guide part 203 will also be set away from the cover body 100. When the sliding cover 200 is in the open position, the limiting part 307 stops and locks against the groove wall of the suction nozzle receiving groove. In this way, the limiting part 307 can limit the sliding cover 200 and prevent the sliding cover 200 from detaching from the cover body 100.

[0076] As an example, the limiting part 307 is a protruding post extending from the bottom end face of the sliding cover 200, but it is not limited thereto. In an optional embodiment, there are two limiting parts 307, spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the extension of the second guide part 203, but this is not a limitation. When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the two limiting parts 307 are spaced apart on both sides of the suction nozzle 102 along a direction perpendicular to the extension of the second guide part 203 (e.g., Figure 1 (as shown), but not limited to this.

[0077] It is understandable that during the sliding process of the sliding cover 200, the limiting part 307 does not interfere with the movement of other components. Therefore, the nozzle receiving groove will extend along the extension direction of the first guide part 110. The length of the nozzle receiving groove along the extension direction of the first guide part 110 is not less than the sliding stroke of the sliding cover 200, but is not limited to this.

[0078] In this embodiment, during the sliding process of the sliding cover 200 relative to the cover body 100, the limiting part 307 will be kept in the nozzle receiving groove, but not limited thereto.

[0079] Reference Figure 4 As an example, two latches 107 are spaced apart on the outer sides of the two first guide portions 110 along an extension direction perpendicular to the first guide portion 110. The user can push the latches 107 along an extension direction perpendicular to the first guide portion 110, for example, but not limited to, the user can horizontally squeeze the two operating protrusions 1075 so that the two latches 107 can come closer together. At this time, the latches 107 will move inward relative to the cap body 100, causing the outwardly folding latch protrusion 1072 to retract inward so as to disengage from the cup's slot 21.

[0080] In this embodiment, the spout 102 may be elastic, for example, but not limited to, it may be made of rubber, for example, but not limited to, food-grade rubber. When the latch 301 is in the retracted state relative to the sliding cover 200, the sliding cover 200 is in the unlocked state, and at this time the sliding cover 200 can slide relative to the cover body 100. When the sliding cover 200 moves to the open position relative to the cover body 100, the spout 102 will spring upward under its own elasticity, at which time the spout 102 is in the conducting state to allow the user to drink the liquid in the cup, but this is not a limitation. When the sliding cover 200 moves from the open position to the closed position relative to the cover body 100, the sliding cover 200 first contacts the spout 102 and pushes the spout 102 to bend and fold, thereby blocking the water outlet channel 101 and storing it in the spout receiving groove.

[0081] return Figures 1 to 3 To improve the reliability of the container lid 10 and prevent the sliding cover 200 from sliding unexpectedly relative to the lid body 100, the container lid 10 may include a sliding cover locking structure. The sliding cover locking structure is provided on the sliding cover 200. When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position relative to the lid body 100, the sliding cover locking structure can limit and lock the sliding cover 200 relative to the lid body 100.

[0082] Specifically, the sliding cover locking structure may include a latch 301. The latch 301 is disposed in the sliding cover receiving cavity and can extend downward relative to the latch through hole 201. When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the latch 301 can engage with the cover body 100 for limiting, for example, but not limited to, the latch 301 engaging with the groove wall of the nozzle receiving groove to limit the sliding cover 200 from sliding relative to the cover body 100. At this time, the sliding cover 200 is locked relative to the cover body 100 and cannot slide relative to the cover body 100. Thus, by setting the latch 301, the accidental sliding of the sliding cover 200 relative to the cover body 100 can be effectively prevented, thereby improving the reliability of the container cover.

[0083] In this embodiment, the locking pin 301 extends longitudinally within the sliding cover receiving cavity and is capable of longitudinal movement relative to the sliding cover 200. The locking pin 301 can extend downward through the locking pin through hole 201. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the bottom end of the locking pin 301 can engage with the suction nozzle receiving groove on the cover body 100. At this time, the sliding cover 200 is locked relative to the cover body 100, and the sliding cover 200 cannot slide relative to the cover body 100.

[0084] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 In order to drive the latch 301 to move relative to the sliding cover 200, the container cover may also include a drive unit. The drive unit is disposed in the sliding cover receiving cavity and can drive the latch 301 to retract into the sliding cover receiving cavity. At this time, the sliding cover 200 is released from the limit lock relative to the cover body 100 and the sliding cover 200 can slide relative to the cover body 100. The user can drive the sliding cover 200 to move as needed.

[0085] Specifically, the drive unit may include a cam 302, which is rotatably disposed on the slide cover 200. For example, but not limited to, the cam 302 is disposed in the slide cover receiving cavity. During the rotation of the cam 302, it can drive the latch 301 to retract inward through the latch hole 201, so that the latch 301 disengages from the nozzle receiving groove. At this time, the slide cover 200 is released from the limiting lock relative to the cover body 100, and the slide cover 200 can slide relative to the cover body 100. The user can push the slide cover 200 to make it slide, and the slide cover 200 moves relative to the cover body 100 to the open position.

[0086] When it is necessary to open the sliding cover 200, the cam 302 can be rotated. At this time, the outer peripheral wall of the cam 302 can push the locking pin 301 upward, causing the locking pin 301 to be pulled upward relative to the nozzle receiving groove, thereby releasing the limit lock of the sliding cover 200 relative to the cover body 100 and unlocking it. At this time, the sliding cover 200 can slide relative to the cover body 100.

[0087] When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the locking pin 301 can extend outward relative to the sliding cover receiving cavity to engage with the nozzle receiving groove of the cover body 100, thereby locking the sliding cover 200 relative to the cover body 100, effectively preventing the sliding cover 200 from sliding accidentally and improving the reliability of the container cover.

[0088] In this embodiment, the drive unit may also include a motor 304 for driving the cam 302 to rotate. For example, but not limited to, the cam 302 may be connected to the output shaft of the motor 304. When the motor 304 is started, the cam 302 may rotate together with the output shaft, but this is not a limitation.

[0089] Continue to refer to Figure 1Furthermore, the container cover 10 may also include a power supply 306 for providing power to the motor 304 and the fingerprint unlocking module, but is not limited thereto. The power supply 306 may be a battery if needed, and the container cover 10 may also have a charging port for convenient battery charging, but is not limited thereto.

[0090] To ensure that the locking pin 301 is extended when the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the container cover also includes a first elastic element 303 disposed within the sliding cover receiving cavity of the sliding cover 200, which maintains a force applied to the locking pin 301 to extend it outward. After the cam 302 removes the pushing force acting on the locking pin 301, under the action of the first elastic element 303, the locking pin 301 will extend downward through the locking pin through hole 201 and can be maintained in a state of limiting engagement with the nozzle receiving groove, preventing the sliding cover 200 from accidentally sliding relative to the cover body 100. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 303 can be a spring, but is not limited thereto.

[0091] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first elastic element 303 is disposed above the locking pin 301 and pressed between the top surface of the locking pin 301 and the top wall of the sliding cover receiving cavity, so that the first elastic element 303 can apply a downward pressing force to the locking pin 301, but is not limited thereto.

[0092] The above embodiment is illustrated using a compression spring, with the first elastic element 303 positioned between the top surface of the locking pin 301 and the top wall of the sliding cover receiving cavity, as an example, but this is not a limitation. Alternatively, the first elastic element 303 may also be a tension spring (not shown) positioned between the bottom wall of the sliding cover receiving cavity and the locking pin 301. The first elastic element 303 can apply a pulling force to the locking pin 301 to extend it downwards, but this is not a limitation.

[0093] As an example, the side of the locking pin 301 is provided with a cam abutment. The rotation axis of the cam 302 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the locking pin 301. The outer peripheral wall of the cam 302 can contact the cam abutment so as to drive the locking pin 301 to retract inward relative to the sliding cover 200, thereby pulling the locking pin 301 out of the suction nozzle receiving groove.

[0094] Reference Figure 7 Specifically, the locking pin 301 includes a locking pin body 3011 and a support arm 3012. The support arm 3012 extends protruding from the side wall of the locking pin body 3011. The extension direction of the support arm 3012 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the locking pin body 3011. A cam abutment is provided on the support arm 3012. The first elastic member 303 and the cam 302 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the support arm 3012 along the moving direction of the locking pin 301.

[0095] This embodiment uses the example of a cam abutment portion arranged on the support arm 3012. During the rotation of the cam 302, the outer peripheral wall of the cam 302 can contact the bottom wall of the support arm 3012. When the cam 302 contacts the support arm 3012 at its maximum stroke point, the locking pin 301 will be lifted upward by the cam 302, thereby retracting inward relative to the sliding cover 200. At this time, the sliding cover 200 is unlocked relative to the cover body 100. When the sliding cover 200 is in the unlocked state, the user can push the sliding cover 200 to slide relative to the cover body 100, causing the sliding cover 200 to leave the closed position.

[0096] After the sliding cover 200 leaves the closed position, the cam 302 can continue to rotate, with its smaller radius facing the cam abutment, thereby gradually reducing the upward force applied to the locking pin 301. The locking pin 301 will then extend downward again through the locking pin through-hole 201 under the action of the first elastic member 303. In this embodiment, the cam 302 can rotate a full circle to return to its initial state after pushing the locking pin 301 upward. However, this is not a limitation.

[0097] The user can push the sliding cover 200 to move while the latch 301 retracts upward. Furthermore, to improve the reliability of the container lid, the lid may also include a position sensor (not shown) to detect the bottom position of the latch 301. When the latch 301 is detected to be in the unlocked position, the user can be prompted to slide the sliding cover 200 relative to the lid body 100 to move it away from the closed position, or the cam 302 can be stopped rotating until the user pushes the sliding cover 200 away from the closed position. In this embodiment, the position sensor may be electrically connected to a power source, but is not limited thereto.

[0098] This embodiment is illustrated by taking the example of the cam 302 pushing the latch 301 upward so that the latch 301 can retract inward relative to the slide cover 200, and the first elastic member 303 pressing the latch 301 downward so that the latch 301 can extend outward relative to the slide cover 200, but it is not limited thereto.

[0099] In this embodiment, the first elastic element 303 and the cam 302 are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the support arm 3012 along the moving direction of the latch 301. This can avoid interference between the movement of the cam 302 and the first elastic element 303, and improve the space utilization of the sliding cover, but it is not limited thereto.

[0100] As an example, the protruding end of the locking pin 301 is configured as a wedge structure with an inclined surface facing the side where the limiting part 307 is located, but this is not a limitation.

[0101] Reference Figure 3When the sliding cover 200 is in the open position, under the action of the first elastic member 303, the locking pin 301 will extend outward relative to the cover body 100 through the locking pin through hole 201. When it is necessary to close the container lid, the user can push the sliding cover 200 to slide relative to the cover body 100. The inclined surface of the protruding end of the locking pin 301 can first contact the cover body 100, and under the action of the user's pushing force, the locking pin 301 will move upward and further compress the first elastic member 303 until the bottom end of the locking pin 301 does not protrude from the bottom wall of the sliding cover 200. When the sliding cover 200 moves to the closed position, under the action of the first elastic member 303, the bottom end of the locking pin 301 will insert into the nozzle receiving groove, thereby locking the sliding cover 200 relative to the cover body 100 in the closed position.

[0102] In this embodiment, a locking pin seal 305 is provided on the outer periphery of the locking pin body 3011, such as, but not limited to, a sealing ring of the locking pin seal 305, to prevent external impurities from entering the sliding cover receiving cavity through the gap between the locking pin 301 and the sliding cover 200.

[0103] In this embodiment, the sliding cover cavity can be sealed to prevent external moisture from entering the sliding cover 200, thereby improving the service life of the components disposed in the sliding cover cavity.

[0104] In fact, in this embodiment, the sliding cover 200 includes a lower sliding cover and an upper sliding cover. The upper sliding cover is fixedly connected above the lower sliding cover. The sliding cover receiving cavity is formed by the lower sliding cover and the upper sliding cover. A sliding cover sealing ring 202 is provided at the joint between the lower sliding cover and the upper sliding cover to further improve the sealing performance of the sliding cover 200.

[0105] To prevent the container lid 10 from being accidentally opened and misused by others, the container lid may also include a fingerprint unlocking module, which may be set on the lid body 100 or the sliding cover 200. By operating the fingerprint unlocking module, the sliding cover 200 can be allowed to slide relative to the lid body 100.

[0106] Specifically, when the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position relative to the cover body 100, under normal circumstances, the sliding cover 200 can be locked relative to the cover body 100 by the sliding cover locking structure, so as to prevent the sliding cover 200 from sliding accidentally relative to the cover body 100, thereby improving the reliability of the container cover 10.

[0107] When the user operates the fingerprint unlock module and the predetermined conditions are met, the sliding cover 200 can be released from the limit lock relative to the cover body 100, and the sliding cover 200 can slide relative to the cover body 100. For example, but not limited to, the user can manually push or pull the sliding cover 200 relative to the cover body 100 and open the sliding cover 200.

[0108] The fingerprint unlocking module may include a fingerprint recognition module and a controller. The fingerprint recognition module is used to recognize fingerprint information. When the fingerprint information recognized by the fingerprint recognition module matches the pre-stored fingerprint information, the controller can control the sliding cover locking structure to unlock the sliding cover 200, so that the sliding cover 200 can slide relative to the cover body 100.

[0109] In this embodiment, the fingerprint recognition module can be configured to recognize the user's fingerprint information and match it with pre-stored fingerprint information. When the recognized fingerprint information matches the pre-stored fingerprint information successfully, the motor 304 starts and drives the cam 302 to rotate. Under the driving action of the cam 302, the latch 301 retracts inward relative to the sliding cover 200, so that the sliding cover 200 is unlocked relative to the cover body 100. At this time, the user can push the sliding cover 200 to move to drink liquid in the cup, but is not limited thereto. When the recognized fingerprint information fails to match the pre-stored fingerprint information, the motor 304 cannot start, and the sliding cover 200 will remain locked relative to the cover body 100.

[0110] As an example, this embodiment describes a fingerprint unlocking module housed within a sliding cover cavity. The fingerprint recognition module is housed within the sliding cover cavity and is sealed, thereby improving the reliability of the fingerprint recognition module. The fingerprint recognition module has a fingerprint recognition screen, which is located on the top wall of the sliding cover 200 for the user to touch.

[0111] As an example, the fingerprint recognition screen can be a touch screen, which can trigger motor 304 as soon as the user's touch is detected.

[0112] In this embodiment, the power supply 306 can be electrically connected to the motor 304 and the fingerprint recognition module respectively, but is not limited thereto.

[0113] To improve the sealing performance of the container lid, the container lid may also include a sealing ring 105, which is fitted onto the lid body 100. When the container lid is closed on the open end of the container body, the sealing ring 105 is pressed between the lid body 100 and the container body, but this is not a limitation.

[0114] The container lid provided in this disclosure can be unlocked relative to the lid body 100 by controlling the fingerprint recognition module, thereby pushing the sliding lid 200 relative to the lid body 100 to the open position, and the mouthpiece 102 can be used, at which time the user can drink the liquid inside the container body 20.

[0115] In addition, the lid body 100 and the container body 20 are connected by a snap fastener 107. The snap fastener 107 is movably connected to the lid body 100, and the top of the snap fastener 107 forms an operating protrusion 1075. When the sliding lid 200 slides relative to the lid body 100 to the open position, the user can operate the operating protrusion 1075 to separate the lid body 100 and the container body 20, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the container body 20.

[0116] When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the operating protrusion 1075 is covered and blocked by the sliding cover 200 and cannot be operated, and the nozzle 102 is blocked by the sliding cover 200 and cannot be used.

[0117] In another aspect, this disclosure provides a container including a container body 20 and a container lid 10 capable of closing the open end of the container body 20.

[0118] Reference Figure 8 As an example, the inner wall of the opening end of the container body 20 is provided with a slot 21, into which the buckle 107 can be inserted to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection between the container body 20 and the lid body 100. As an example, the slot 21 can be configured to extend continuously along the circumference of the cup to form an annular groove, but it is not limited thereto. As needed, the inner wall of the opening end of the cup can be provided with multiple arc-shaped slots to match the buckle 107.

[0119] This disclosure provides that at least two latches 107 protrude from the upper surface of the lid body 100 at their upper ends to facilitate user operation of the latches 107. When the upper ends of the latches 107 move horizontally relative to the upper surface of the lid body 100, the lower ends of the latches 107 retract relative to the lid body 100, thereby separating the latches 107 from the container body 20. Furthermore, a sliding cover 200 is slidably disposed above the lid body 100. When the sliding cover 200 is in the closed position, the upper ends of the latches 107 are covered and blocked by the sliding cover 200, preventing user operation. When the sliding cover 200 is in the open position, it is located to one side relative to the lid body 100, exposing the upper surface of the lid body 100, allowing the latches 107 to be operated by the user. Thus, by providing a sliding cover 200 on the lid body 100, conditions are set for operating the latches 107, preventing accidental operation of the latches 107. In addition, the container lid 10 includes a fingerprint unlocking module, which can obtain the user's fingerprint information. When the fingerprint information meets the predetermined conditions, the sliding cover 200 can be released from the limit lock relative to the lid body 100, thereby enabling the container lid 10 to be used by a single person.
