Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of daily necessities, and particularly relates to a lid and a container having said lid. Background Technology

[0002] Oil dispensers are essential tools in kitchen cooking. However, most existing oil dispensers use a manual opening mechanism, requiring users to use one hand to unscrew or lift the lid, and then manually close it after use, which is cumbersome. While cooking, users' hands are often busy stirring ingredients and holding the pot, making it difficult to open the lid with one hand, easily leading to the oil dispenser tipping over and spilling oil. Furthermore, frequent hand contact with the lid can easily introduce bacteria into the dispenser, affecting the hygiene of the cooking oil. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a lid and a container having said lid to solve the above problems.

[0004] This application provides a cover in some embodiments, including a base, a cover body, a first cover plate, a connector, a handle, and a linkage. The base has a first opening and a second opening. The cover body is connected to the base to form a receiving space together with the base. The cover body has a first through-hole communicating with the first opening, a second through-hole communicating with the second opening, and a third through-hole communicating with the receiving space. The first cover plate is rotatably connected to the cover body to selectively cover the first through-hole. The connector is located within the receiving space. The connector includes two opposing first connecting portions. The first connecting portions are rotatably connected to the cover body or the base. The second through-hole is located between the two first connecting portions. The handle is connected to the two first connecting portions through the third through-hole and is movable within the third through-hole, with a portion of the handle exposed outside the receiving space. The linkage is located within the receiving space. The linkage is connected between the two first connecting portions and the first cover plate, so that when the handle rotates relative to the base, the first cover plate is opened and closed by cooperating with the linkage connected to the two first connecting portions.

[0005] In some embodiments, the connector further includes a second connecting portion, which is connected between the two first connecting portions and located between the first through opening and the second through opening.

[0006] In some embodiments, the linkage includes two opposing first linkage parts and two opposing second linkage parts. The two first linkage parts are respectively disposed on a corresponding first connecting part, and the two second linkage parts are disposed on the first cover plate. Each first linkage part is provided with a sliding groove, and the second linkage part is slidably disposed in the sliding groove; or, each second linkage part is provided with a sliding groove, and the first linkage part is slidably disposed in the sliding groove.

[0007] In some embodiments, the base is further provided with a limiting member, which is located between the second through opening and the first connecting portion and abuts against the first connecting portion.

[0008] In some embodiments, the cover further includes a first flow guide connecting the first opening and the first through-hole, with one end of the first flow guide away from the base exposed to the first through-hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, the cover further includes a second flow guide connecting the second opening and the second through-hole, with one end of the second flow guide away from the base exposed to the second through-hole.

[0010] In some embodiments, the cover further includes a second cover plate movably connected to the cover body to optionally cover the second through opening.

[0011] In some embodiments, the cover includes a top wall and a side wall, the top wall being disposed opposite to the base, the side wall being connected to the base to form the receiving space together with the top wall, a first cover plate being rotatably connected to the top wall or the side wall, a second cover plate being rotatably connected to the top wall or the side wall, a first through opening and a second through opening being disposed on the top wall or the top wall and the side wall, a third through opening being disposed on the side wall, and the size of the third through opening being greater than the thickness of the handle in the height direction of the cover.

[0012] In some embodiments, each of the first connecting portions has a connecting portion on the side opposite to the first through opening, and the connecting portion is rotatably connected to the cover or the base.

[0013] Some embodiments of this application also provide a container, including a bottle body and the cap described above, wherein the bottle body is detachably connected to the base.

[0014] In summary, the handle of the lid in this application is rotatably connected to the lid body or base via the first connecting part. When the lid is lifted and tilted by grasping the handle, the handle moves in the opposite direction to gravity under the lid's own weight, and the first cover plate rotates under the action of the linkage, thus opening the lid. When the lid is returned to its initial position and the user's hand leaves the handle, the weight of the two first connecting parts and the handle itself causes the handle to move towards the center of gravity, rotating the first cover plate to close the lid. The two first connecting parts also increase the overall weight of the handle, further ensuring the automatic reset of the first cover plate when not in use. Therefore, compared to existing products on the market, the lid in this application can achieve contactless automatic opening and closing with just one hand, greatly facilitating user operation. Furthermore, this contactless opening and closing method effectively avoids the hygiene problems caused by frequent contact during traditional manual opening. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a cover 1 in some embodiments, including a base 10, a cover body 20, a first cover plate 30, a connector 40, a handle 50, and a linkage 60. The base 10 has a first opening 11 and a second opening 12. The cover body 20 is connected to the base 10 to form a receiving space 13 together with the base 10. The cover body 20 has a first through-hole 21 communicating with the first opening 11, a second through-hole 22 communicating with the second opening 12, and a third through-hole 23 communicating with the receiving space 13. The first cover plate 30 is rotatably connected to the cover body 20 to selectively cover the first through-hole 21. The connector 40 is located within the receiving space 13. The connector 40 includes two opposing first connecting portions 41. The first connecting portions 41 are rotatably connected to the cover body 20 or the base 10. The second through-hole 22 is located between the two first connecting portions 41. The handle 50 connects the two first connecting portions 41 through the third through-hole 23 and is movable within the third through-hole 23. Part of the handle 50 is exposed outside the receiving space 13. The linkage 60 is located inside the receiving space 13. The linkage 60 is connected between the two first connecting parts 41 and the first cover plate 30, so that when the handle 50 rotates relative to the base 10, the first cover plate 30 is opened and closed by the cooperation of the linkage 60 connected to the two first connecting parts 41.

[0025] It is understood that in some embodiments of this application, the handle 50 of the lid 1 is rotatably connected to the lid body 20 or the base 10 via the first connecting part 41. This design allows the handle 50 to move in the opposite direction to gravity under the weight of the lid 1 when the lid 1 is lifted and tilted, and to rotate the first cover plate 30 under the action of the linkage 60, thus opening the lid. When the lid 1 is returned to its initial position and the user's hand leaves the handle 50, the handle 50 moves towards the center of gravity due to the weight of the two first connecting parts 41 and the handle 50 itself, thus rotating the first cover plate 30 to close the lid. The two first connecting parts 41 also increase the overall weight of the handle 50, further ensuring the automatic reset of the first cover plate 30 when not in use. Therefore, compared to existing products on the market, the lid 1 in some embodiments of this application can achieve contactless automatic opening and closing with just one hand, greatly facilitating user operation. Furthermore, this contactless opening and closing method of the lid 1 effectively avoids the hygiene problems caused by frequent contact during traditional manual opening.

[0026] In some embodiments, the connector 40 further includes a second connecting portion 42. The second connecting portion 42 connects between the two first connecting portions 41 and is located between the first through opening 21 and the second through opening 22. The second connecting portion 42, in addition to strengthening the structural strength of the connector 40, also increases the weight of the handle 50, further ensuring the handle 50 returns to its original position after use of the cover 1.

[0027] In some embodiments, the linkage 60 includes two opposing first linkage parts 61 and two opposing second linkage parts 62. The two first linkage parts 61 are respectively disposed on a corresponding first connecting part 41, and the two second linkage parts 62 are disposed on the first cover plate 30. Each first linkage part 61 has a groove 63, and the second linkage part 62 is slidably disposed in the groove 63. It can be understood that when the user grasps the handle 50 to lift and tilt the cover 1, the handle 50 rotates in the opposite direction to gravity under the weight of the cover 1. Simultaneously, the first linkage parts 61 with the groove 63 rotate together with the handle 50. Thus, the second linkage parts 62 slide within the groove 63 due to the rotation of the groove 63 and abut against the interior of the groove 63, thereby pushing the second linkage parts 62 to rotate, ultimately causing the first cover plate 30 connected to the second linkage parts 62 to rotate and open the cover.

[0028] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the position of the slide groove 63 is different from that in the above embodiments. Specifically, the slide groove 63 is disposed on the second linkage part 62, and the first linkage part 61 is slidably disposed on the slide groove 63.

[0029] In some embodiments, the base 10 is further provided with a limiting member 14. The limiting member 14 is located between the second through-hole 22 and the first connecting portion 41 and abuts against the first connecting portion 41, so as to prevent the handle 50 from deviating after use and facilitate positioning and assembly at the same time.

[0030] In some embodiments, the lid 1 further includes a first flow guide member 70. The first flow guide member 70 connects the first opening 11 and the first through-hole 21, and one end port of the first flow guide member 70 away from the base 10 is exposed at the first through-hole 21. Thus, the liquid can be导出 from the first through-hole 21 through the first opening 11 via the first flow guide member 70.

[0031] Further, in some embodiments, the lid further includes a second flow guide member 80. The second flow guide member 80 connects the second opening 12 and the second through-hole, and one end port of the second flow guide member 80 away from the base is exposed at the second through-hole 22. Thus, the liquid can be导入 into the second opening 12 through the second through-hole 22 via the second flow guide member.

[0032] In some embodiments, the lid 1 further includes a second cover plate 90. The second cover plate 90 is movably connected to the lid body 20 to selectively cover the second through-hole 22, serving functions such as dust prevention and aesthetics.

[0033] In some embodiments, the lid body 20 includes a top wall 24 and a side wall 25. The top wall 24 is disposed opposite to the base 10. The side wall 25 is connected to the base 10 to form a receiving space 13 together with the top wall 24. The first cover plate 30 is rotatably connected to the top wall 24 or the side wall 25. The second cover plate 90 is rotatably connected to the top wall 24 or the side wall 25. The first through-hole 21 and the second through-hole 22 are provided on the top wall 24 or both the top wall 24 and the side wall 25. The third through-hole 23 is provided on the side wall 25. In the height direction of the lid 1, the size of the third through-hole 23 is greater than the thickness of the handle 50, so as to provide a rotation space for the rotation of the handle 50.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first cover plate 30 and the second cover plate 90 are rotatably connected to the top wall 24. The first through-hole 21 is provided on both the top wall 24 and the side wall 25, and the second through-hole 22 is provided on the top wall 24.

[0035] In some embodiments, a connecting portion 43 is provided on one side of each first connecting portion 41 facing away from the first through-hole 21. The connecting portion 43 is rotatably connected to the lid body 20 or the base 10. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 43 is a convex column structure.

[0036] Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting portion 43 can also be a gear structure, etc., which is not limited here.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 6Some embodiments of this application also provide a container 2, including a bottle body 3 and the aforementioned cap 1, with the bottle body 3 detachably connected to a base 10. It is understood that the detachable connection between the bottle body 3 and the cap 1 not only facilitates cleaning the container 2 but also makes it convenient for the user to add materials to the bottle body 3.

[0038] In some embodiments, the base 10 includes a base 15 and a connecting sidewall 16 connecting the base 15 to the side opposite to the connector 40. The inner surface of the connecting sidewall 16 is provided with an internal thread, and the corresponding outer surface of the bottle 3 is provided with an external thread that mates with the internal thread, so that the bottle 3 is detachably connected to the base 10. The base 15 is provided with a first opening 11 and a second opening 12.

[0039] It is understood that the connection between the bottle body 3 and the base 10 is not limited to a threaded connection, but can also be a detachable connection method such as a snap-fit ​​connection, a key connection, or a pin connection. No limitation is made here.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application in any way. Although the preferred embodiment has been disclosed above, it is not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this application.
