Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cup lids, and in particular to a leak-proof cup lid. Background Technology

[0002] During beverage transportation, especially in today's large-scale food delivery process, existing cup lids are not adequately leak-proof, resulting in numerous incidents of beverage spillage. This negatively impacts the experience of all participants in the beverage consumption chain, from merchants to delivery drivers to consumers.

[0003] Therefore, a more leak-proof lid is needed to ensure that the beverage can resist external disturbances and spillage from the container to the lid during transportation, thus maintaining the dynamic seal of the lid. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of beverage spillage during transportation, this application proposes a leak-proof cup lid to prevent beverage spillage.

[0005] The leak-proof cup lid includes: a drinking spout, which is raised on the leak-proof cup lid; and a raised portion, which is raised on the leak-proof cup lid, and a vent hole is provided at the top of the raised portion; wherein the height of the raised portion is greater than the height of the drinking spout.

[0006] Optionally, the leak-proof cup lid also includes a drinking spout lid.

[0007] Optionally, the drinking spout includes: a drinking spout; and a support for supporting the drinking spout.

[0008] Optionally, the drinking spout cap includes:

[0009] A raised portion, the shape of which matches the shape of the support portion;

[0010] A recess that matches the drinking spout; and an outwardly extending handle.

[0011] Optionally, the drinking spout cover further includes a fixing part disposed inside the recess, the fixing part being recessed inward to fix the drinking spout cover to the drinking spout.

[0012] Optionally, the surface of the handle is provided with an anti-slip pattern.

[0013] Optionally, the protrusion is double-arched.

[0014] Optionally, the vent is located at either apex of the double arch.

[0015] This application, by incorporating a protrusion on the lid, increases the height of the beverage reaching the lid surface during upward impact, reducing the likelihood of liquid reaching the vent on the lid surface and decreasing the upward impact force when the beverage contacts the lid. This reduces the possibility of the lid detaching due to impact and the possibility of beverage spillage. Furthermore, when the protrusion is double-arched, the arched design forms a barrier around the vent, further reducing the possibility of beverage reaching the vent and overflowing. Simultaneously, the vent hole at the top of the protrusion balances the pressure inside and outside the cup, reducing the likelihood of beverage spillage at the junction of the lid and container, and further reducing the upward impact force in the vertical direction to prevent the lid from separating.

[0021] Figure 6 These are three views of a leak-proof cup lid with a drinking spout cover according to an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0022] Next, combine Figure 1-6 The figure illustrates in detail the structure of the leak-proof cup lid proposed in this application.

[0023] First, combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 This section explains leak-proof cup lids that do not have a drinking spout cover.

[0024] The leak-proof cup lid includes a drinking spout 1 and a raised portion 2, both of which are protruding from the upper surface of the lid. The drinking spout 1 includes a drinking spout 11 for the consumer to drink from, and a support portion 12 for supporting and confining the drinking spout 11 at a certain height. The top of the raised portion 2 has a vent 3 to balance the air pressure inside and outside the cup. Figure 2As shown, the height H of the vent 3 is greater than the height h of the drinking spout. This ensures that the vent is the highest point of the entire lid, minimizing the likelihood of upward-impacting beverages reaching this point during transportation and thus reducing the possibility of spillage. Simultaneously, the vent also allows excess gas from the container caused by shaking to escape, maintaining pressure balance inside and outside the lid and preventing excessive internal pressure from exerting upward impact, further reducing the possibility of the lid detaching due to impact.

[0025] Furthermore, for aesthetic purposes and to prevent leakage, the protrusion 2 is preferably designed as a double-arch structure, and the vent 3 can be located at any apex of the double arch. It is understood that, for aesthetic reasons, the middle of the double arch shown in the figure has two arched patterns on its surface to represent an "m" shape. The double-arch design forms a barrier around the vent, preventing beverage contact, but it does not completely enclose the vent, thus not affecting the function of reducing internal pressure by allowing gas to escape. Furthermore, areas a and b below the double arch are still part of the protrusion 2, rather than being hollowed out. It is understood that the protrusion 2 can also be designed as any other possible and reasonable shape.

[0026] In addition, the leak-proof cup lid proposed in this application is also provided with a drinking spout cover to seal the drinking spout 1. Next, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 Let's take a detailed look at the drinking spout cap.

[0027] To seal the drinking spout 1, the drinking spout cap 4 includes a raised portion 41 that matches the shape of the support portion 12, a recess 42 that matches the drinking spout 11, and an outwardly extending handle 43. Matching the shape of the support portion 12 means that the raised portion 41 can fit seamlessly or nearly seamlessly against the surface of the support portion 12 to prevent gaps for liquid flow between the raised portion 41 and the support portion 12. Matching the drinking spout 11 means that the recess 42 is inserted into the drinking spout 11, and the fit between the recess 42 and the drinking spout 11 is seamless or nearly seamless (e.g., the cross-sectional area of ​​the recess 42 facing the drinking spout 11 is approximately equal to or slightly larger than the area of ​​the drinking spout), ensuring that liquid does not overflow from the drinking spout 11. To more stably fix the drinking spout cap 4 to the drinking spout 1, the recess 42 of the drinking spout cap is also provided with one or more inwardly recessed fixing portions 44, such that after the recess 42 is inserted into the drinking spout 11, the fixing portion 44 and the corresponding recessed position A at the drinking spout (e.g., ...) Figure 1 (As shown) They are matched to secure the handle 43 to ensure it does not fall off during beverage transport. Additionally, the handle 43 is provided with anti-slip patterns, including but not limited to... Figure 3 , Figure 4 The anti-slip pattern shown is recessed downwards.

[0028] at last, Figure 5 and Figure 6 Is it set? Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram shows a leak-proof cup lid 4.

[0029] As can be seen, when the drinking spout cap 4 is attached to the leak-proof cup lid, the handle 43 extends outward from the leak-proof cup lid, making it easy for consumers to remove the drinking spout cap 4.

[0030] Understandably, any suitable material can be used to manufacture this cup lid. However, to improve the environmental friendliness of this leak-proof cup lid, it is preferable to use a bio-based polylactic acid (PLA) material. This material can be industrially degraded after use, reducing the use of non-renewable materials.
