Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cup technology, specifically a cup lid and a cup. Background Technology

[0002] In the actual design of a drinking cup, the most important aspect is the design of the lid. Lids can be designed specifically for different usage needs. When designing the lid of a typical portable mug, the convenience and safety of actual use must be considered. The method of directly opening the lid to drink from a typical portable mug is not only inconvenient but also poses a risk of leakage. Some designs on the market feature a small outlet on the lid to address this inconvenience. While this solves the problem, it's still necessary to consider how easily to seal and open the outlet to prevent leakage. Not only must the ease of opening and closing be considered, but the outlet area must also be dustproof to prevent foreign objects from entering the cup. In response, the applicant's patent application entitled "A Cup Lid and Cup" (patent number: 202323157667.6) discloses a technical content that solves the problems of ease of operation in sealing and opening the cup lid, as well as the problem of dust prevention in the water outlet of the cup lid. However, the inner plug set in the cup lid is in contact with coffee or strong tea for a long time, which makes the surface of the inner plug and the connection position with the lid body prone to stains. Since the inner plug is difficult to disassemble, it is also difficult to clean. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cup lid and a cup that can easily disassemble the inner plug on the lid body to facilitate cleaning of the lid body and the inner plug body, and further improve the convenience of using the cup lid.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives and other related objectives, this utility model proposes a cup lid, comprising:

[0005] The cover has a liquid outlet channel running through it.

[0006] The inner plug is movably installed inside the cover and is configured to switch between two states: sealing and opening the inlet of the liquid outlet channel.

[0007] A central mounting rod is connected to the center of the cover, and the rod body of the central mounting rod is inserted into one end of the inner plug.

[0008] The cap body is detachably connected to the end of the central mounting rod, and the cap body is used to constrain the central mounting rod on the rod body.

[0009] This utility model also has the following features:

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, an outer rotating body is movably installed on the cover. The outer rotating body is configured to switch between two states: sealing and opening the outlet of the liquid outlet channel. One end of the outer rotating body is installed at the center of the cover and is configured to rotate around the central axis of the cover. The central axis of the cover is perpendicular to the plate surface of the outer rotating body. An operating end is provided on the inner plug. The operating end is installed at the center of the cover and is configured to move along the central axis of the cover.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, a pipe is provided at the center of the cover, a central mounting rod is slidably disposed inside the pipe, and a sealing ring is provided on the outer wall of the central mounting rod, the sealing ring forming a sealing fit with the inner wall of the pipe.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present invention, the operating end includes a pressing cover provided at one end of the central mounting rod extending from the pipe. The pressing cover is generally cylindrical and is located at the center of the outer rotating body.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the pressing cover and the rod end of the central mounting rod are fixedly connected as a whole by bolts. The end of the central mounting rod extending out of the cap body is tubular, and a sealing head is provided at the tube opening.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the pipe opening located inside the cover body is a polygonal structure, and a polygonal body is provided on the central mounting rod. The shape of the polygonal body is adapted to the inner wall of the pipe and forms a plug-in fit.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the inner plug and the connection end of the central mounting rod are provided with a mounting hole, and the central mounting rod is provided with a plug body, which extends into the mounting hole and forms an anti-rotation fit.

[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, two sets of snap-fit ​​protrusions are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the central mounting rod near the rod end. The center of the cap body is provided with a through hole for the central mounting rod and the two sets of snap-fit ​​protrusions to pass through. One end of the cap body is provided with an overlapping platform. After the central mounting rod and the two sets of snap-fit ​​protrusions pass through the through hole, they rotate, and the snap-fit ​​protrusions abut against the overlapping platform.

[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, an overlapping protrusion is provided on the overlapping platform, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion abuts against the overlapping protrusion.

[0018] Another objective of this utility model is to provide a cup, which includes the aforementioned cup lid and a cup body, wherein the cup lid covers the rim of the cup body.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the technical effect of this utility model is as follows: the inner plug is movably installed inside the lid, and can freely switch between two states: sealing and opening the liquid outlet. When drinking is needed, the inner plug can be easily switched to the open state, allowing the liquid to flow smoothly through the outlet; when not drinking is needed, it can be switched to the sealed state, effectively preventing liquid leakage. Compared with traditional portable cups with direct-open lids, this greatly improves the convenience and safety of use, and also avoids the risk of liquid spillage caused by direct opening.

[0020] The center mounting rod is connected to the center of the lid, with its body inserted into one end of the inner plug. The cap is detachably connected to the end of the center mounting rod. This design constrains the center mounting rod to the inner plug, ensuring a stable installation structure within the lid and preventing easy displacement during use. Furthermore, because the cap and center mounting rod are detachably connected, when the inner plug becomes stained due to prolonged contact with beverages, simply removing the cap allows for easy removal of the inner plug from the lid. This solves the problem of difficult removal of the inner plug in traditional cup lids, facilitating thorough cleaning, ensuring the lid's hygiene, and extending its lifespan.

[0030] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0031] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this utility model. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this utility model and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0032] In existing technology, the inner plug inside the lid is easily stained by prolonged contact with coffee or strong tea, especially at the connection point with the lid. Furthermore, the inner plug is difficult to disassemble, making cleaning challenging. Therefore, this invention proposes an improved solution to address these problems: a lid comprising: a lid body 10 with a through-hole liquid outlet channel 11; an inner plug 20 movably mounted inside the lid body 10, configured to switch between blocking and opening the inlet of the liquid outlet channel 11; a central mounting rod 30 connected to the center of the lid body 10, with its shaft inserted into one end of the inner plug 20; and a cap 40 detachably connected to the end of the central mounting rod 30, which constrains the central mounting rod 30.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The liquid outlet channel 11 is a hole on the cover 10, and the liquid outlet channel 11 is waist-shaped or other shapes. The inner plug 20 can block or close the liquid outlet channel 11.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 10 The inner plug 20 has an irregular shape, with a sealing rubber embedded at one end. The sealing rubber can form a detachable connection with the inner plug 20, which is convenient and easy to understand. The sealing rubber can reliably seal the liquid outlet channel 11.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The cap body 40 and the central mounting rod 30 form a detachable connection, and the rod end of the central mounting rod 30 passes through the other end of the inner plug 20. The cap body 40 fixes the inner plug 20 to the central mounting rod 30, preventing the inner plug 20 from moving out of the rod end of the central mounting rod 30 and ensuring the reliability of the connection. When disassembly is required, the cap body 40 is removed from the rod end of the central mounting rod 30, and the inner plug 20 is pulled out from the central mounting rod 30, which facilitates the cleaning of the inner plug 20.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 An outer rotating body 50 is movably installed on the cover 10. The outer rotating body 50 is configured to switch between two states: blocking and opening the outlet of the liquid outlet channel 11. One end of the outer rotating body 50 is installed at the center of the cover 10. One end of the outer rotating body 50 is configured to rotate around the central axis of the cover 10, and the central axis of the cover 10 is perpendicular to the plate surface of the outer rotating body 50. An operating end is provided on the inner plug 20. The operating end is installed at the center of the cover 10 and is configured to move along the central axis of the cover 10.

[0037] In the above embodiments, the operating end can move along the central axis of the cover 10 to drive the outer rotating body 50 to rotate, thereby realizing the switching between two states of blocking and opening the outlet of the liquid outlet channel 11, and the structural principles of one end of the outer rotating body 30 being able to rotate around the central axis of the cover 10. For the technical content disclosed in patent number 202323157667.6, it will not be elaborated here.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 To enable the installation of the central mounting rod 30 and the cover 10, a pipe 12 is provided at the center of the cover 10. The central mounting rod 30 is slidably disposed within the pipe 12. To ensure the seal between the central mounting rod 30 and the pipe 12 and to prevent leakage, a sealing ring 36 is provided on the outer wall of the central mounting rod 30. The sealing ring 36 and the inner wall of the pipe 12 form a sealing fit.

[0039] In one embodiment, to enable the entire inner plug 20 to move along the central axis of the cover 10, the operating end includes a press cover 31 extending from one end of the central mounting rod 30 of the pipe 12. The press cover 31 is generally cylindrical and located at the center of the outer rotating body 50. By pressing the press cover 31, the outer rotating body 50 can be rotated along the axial direction of the cover 10, thereby separating the outer rotating body 50 from the outlet of the liquid outlet channel 11, facilitating drinking water for the user. Manually rotating the outer rotating body 50 can also block the outlet of the liquid outlet channel 11. The working principle of this structure can also be found in the aforementioned patent, and will not be elaborated here.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 8 To achieve the connection and fixation between the pressing cover 31 and the central mounting rod 30, the pressing cover 31 and the rod end of the central mounting rod 30 are fixedly connected as a whole by bolts. The end of the central mounting rod 30 extending out of the cap body 40 is tubular, and a sealing head 32 is provided at the tube opening.

[0041] The aforementioned center mounting rod 30 is tubular in shape, with a stepped hole at the center and a threaded hole at the center of the press cover 31. The center mounting rod 30 and the press cover 31 can be connected by metal bolts.

[0042] To achieve a sliding fit between the center mounting rod 30 and the pipe 12, and to prevent the center mounting rod 30 from rotating on the pipe 12, refer to... Figure 6 The inner wall of the pipe 12 located inside the cover 10 has a polygonal structure. The central mounting rod 30 is provided with a polygonal body 33. The shape of the polygonal body 33 is adapted to the inner wall of the pipe 12 and forms a plug-in fit.

[0043] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the pipe opening of the pipe 12 located inside the cover 10 is a regular hexagon, and the polygonal body 33 is a regular hexagonal prism, which can insert the polygonal body 33 of the central mounting rod 30 into the regular hexagonal pipe opening of the pipe 12, so that the central mounting rod 30 can slide on the pipe 12 and prevent the central mounting rod 30 from rotating on the pipe 12.

[0044] In one embodiment, the inner plug 20 and the central mounting rod 30 are connected by a mounting hole 21, and the central mounting rod 30 is provided with a plug body 34, which extends into the mounting hole 21 and forms an anti-rotation fit.

[0045] In one embodiment, see Figure 9The plug body 34 can be two protrusions symmetrically arranged on the inner plug body 20, and the mounting hole 21 can be a waist-shaped hole. The plug body 34 can extend into the waist-shaped hole, so that the central mounting rod 30 and the inner plug body 20 form an anti-rotation fit.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 To achieve a detachable connection between the central mounting rod 30 and the cap body 40, two sets of snap-fit ​​protrusions 35 are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the central mounting rod 30 near the rod end. The center of the cap body 40 is provided with a through hole 41 for the central mounting rod 30 and the two sets of snap-fit ​​protrusions 35 to pass through. One end of the cap body 40 is provided with an overlapping platform 42. After the central mounting rod 30 and the two sets of snap-fit ​​protrusions 35 pass through the through hole 41, they rotate, and the snap-fit ​​protrusions 35 abut against the overlapping platform 42.

[0047] After the inner plug 20 is installed on the central mounting rod 30, the two sets of snap-fit ​​protrusions 35 pass through the through hole 41 of the cap 40. Then, the cap 40 is rotated so that the snap-fit ​​protrusions 35 abut against the overlapping platform 42 at one end of the cap 40, thereby fixing the cap 40 to the central mounting rod 30 and thus constraining the inner plug 20 to the central mounting rod 30.

[0048] In one embodiment, see Figure 11 The overlapping platform 42 is provided with an overlapping protrusion 421. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 35 abuts against the overlapping protrusion 421. When the snap-fit ​​protrusion 35 abuts against the overlapping protrusion 421, the cap body 40 and the central mounting rod 30 can be pre-pressed to ensure the reliability of the connection between the cap body 40 and the central mounting rod 30.

[0049] This utility model also proposes a cup, which includes the aforementioned cup lid. The cup lid allows for easy disassembly of the inner plug on the lid body, facilitating cleaning of the lid body and the inner plug body, and further improving the ease of use of the cup lid. Since this cup adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by a specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept.
