Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container lid technology, specifically to a container lid with a handle. Background Technology

[0002] A lid is an object used to prevent water from overflowing from a container, maintain the original state of the water, and secure it to the top of the container. Chinese Patent ZL 202010346138.2, "Lid with Locking Mechanism and Container Assembly Including the Lid," discloses a container lid structure comprising a lid portion and a connecting portion interconnected. The connecting portion includes a button configured to move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the button engages with the lid portion to close the connecting portion; in the second position, the button disengages from the lid portion to open the lid portion. The lid portion is provided with a locking mechanism, which includes a knob operably connected to the button and movable between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the knob restrains the button in the first position; in the unlocked position, the knob allows the button to be released from the first position, such that the button can move to the second position.

[0003] The aforementioned solution incorporates a locking mechanism on the press-to-open structure to prevent unintended opening. While the handle, designed for easy lifting, is fixed to the top of the lid, it results in a very tall lid, taking up considerable space in a bag and causing inconvenience. Conversely, designing the handle to flip to the side of the lid would interfere with the proper use of the button and locking mechanism, given the existing button locking mechanism on the side of the lid.

[0004] Therefore, the current container lid structure with handles needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a container lid with a handle that is easy to store and easy to unlock, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0007] A container lid with a handle includes a lid body and a flip-top. The lid body has a water outlet at its top. The flip-top is rotatably connected to the lid body and is used to open or close the water outlet. The side of the container lid has a locking mechanism that can lock the flip-top onto the lid body and unlock it when pressed. The lid body also includes a handle that can be flipped up to form a grip. The handle flips down to surround the container lid and is arranged corresponding to the locking mechanism. The handle has a pressing part that can press the locking mechanism to unlock it.

[0008] With the above structure, when using the handle, the handle can be flipped upwards for the user to hold from the edge. When not using the handle, the handle can be flipped to surround the outside of the container lid for easy storage. Furthermore, when the handle is around the outside of the container lid, the pressing part on the handle corresponds to the locking mechanism. If it is necessary to open the lid, there is no need to flip the handle; simply press the pressing part on the handle to unlock the mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the handle is ring-shaped with its edge rotatably connected to the first side of the lid. The locking mechanism is located on the second side of the lid opposite to the first side. When the handle is rotated to surround the container lid, the portion of the handle corresponding to the locking mechanism forms a pressing part. This structure facilitates unlocking the locking mechanism when the handle is folded in, thereby opening the lid and exposing the water outlet for convenient drinking water access.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the handle has a slit arranged around the pressing part, which makes the pressing part form a press-fit with increased elasticity. This design increases the elasticity of the pressing part, allowing it to displace more when force is applied, thus enabling more convenient and reliable unlocking of the locking mechanism.

[0011] As another preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the handle is provided with a protrusion facing the locking mechanism. This protrusion constitutes an auxiliary pressing structure that reduces the elastic deformation requirement of the handle. This design can reduce the actual distance between the pressing part and the locking mechanism, so that the locking mechanism can be unlocked with only a small displacement of the pressing part when force is applied.

[0012] Preferably, at least the lower edge of the locking mechanism protrudes beyond the cover, and the lower edge of the handle is provided with a limiting protrusion that engages with the lower edge of the locking mechanism. This structure helps to keep the handle in a stable position when it is stored, preventing it from flipping over unnecessarily.

[0013] Preferably, the lower edge of the locking mechanism forms a smooth transition surface to reduce friction against the limiting protrusion. With this structure, switching between the open and closed states of the handle can be achieved with less force.

[0014] To facilitate connection and assembly, a horizontally arranged bearing seat is provided on the first side of the cover. The edge of the flip cover is provided with connecting arms that extend outward and clamp at both ends of the bearing seat. The handle is an open-loop structure with the middle broken and the two ends clamped on the outside of the connecting arms respectively. The two ends of the handle are respectively provided with shaft holes. A connecting shaft passes through the shaft holes, connecting arms, and bearing seat to rotatably connect the handle, flip cover, and cover together.

[0015] Preferably, the bearing seat has receiving grooves at both ends, and a torsion spring is provided in the receiving groove to keep the flip cover in the open tendency. The first end of the torsion spring abuts against the inner top wall of the receiving groove, and the second end of the torsion spring is located outside the receiving groove and abuts against the protruding edge of the top of the connecting arm. This structure facilitates the automatic opening of the flip cover in the unlocked state.

[0016] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a locking member and an elastic member. A mounting groove is provided on the side of the cover, and the locking member is movably disposed within this groove. The elastic member ensures the locking member maintains an outward tendency to move. A slot is provided on the inner surface of the flip cover near its lower edge. Correspondingly, a latch is provided on the top of the locking member that engages with the slot to limit its movement after it moves outward. With this structure, when the locking member is pressed by the pressing part of the handle, it overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member and moves backward, disengaging the latch from the slot, thus unlocking the flip cover. When the locking member is not pressed, the elastic member pushes the locking member forward. At this time, flipping the flip cover downwards until the latch engages with the slot locks the flip cover, thus locking it. This is convenient to operate. Of course, the locking mechanism of this invention is not limited to this structure; other structures that allow inward movement for unlocking under pressure and outward movement for locking the flip cover when not under pressure can also be used.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The container lid of this utility model is provided with a flip-up handle. When using the handle, the handle is flipped upwards for the user to hold from the edge. When not using the handle, the handle can be flipped up to surround the outer edge of the container lid for easy storage. Furthermore, when the handle is around the outer edge of the container lid, the pressing part on the handle corresponds precisely to the locking mechanism. At this time, if it is necessary to open the lid, there is no need to flip the handle; simply press the locking mechanism on the pressing part of the handle to unlock it. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the container lid with a handle in this embodiment includes a lid body 1 and a flip cover 2. The top of the lid body 1 is provided with a water outlet 11. The flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to the lid body 1 and is used to open or close the water outlet 11. The side of the container lid is provided with a locking mechanism 3 that can lock the flip cover 2 onto the lid body 1 and unlock it when pressed. It also includes a handle 4 that can be flipped on the lid body 1. The handle 4 flips upward to form a gripping part. The handle 4 flips downward to surround the outer periphery of the container lid and is arranged corresponding to the locking mechanism 3. The handle 4 is provided with a pressing part 41 that can press the locking mechanism 3 to unlock it.

[0029] With the above structure, when using the handle 4, the handle 4 can be flipped upwards for the user to hold from the edge. When not using the handle 4, the handle 4 can be flipped to surround the outer edge of the container lid for easy storage. Furthermore, when the handle 4 is surrounded by the container lid, the pressing part 41 on the handle 4 corresponds exactly to the locking mechanism 3. At this time, if it is necessary to open the flip lid 2, there is no need to flip the handle 4. The locking mechanism 3 can be unlocked by pressing the pressing part 41 on the handle 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, the handle 4 is ring-shaped and its edge is rotatably connected to the first side of the lid 1. The locking mechanism 3 is located on the second side of the lid 1 opposite to the first side. When the handle 4 is rotated to surround the container lid, the part of the handle 4 corresponding to the locking mechanism 3 forms a pressing part 41. This structure facilitates the unlocking of the locking mechanism 3 when the handle 4 is in the retracted state, thereby opening the flip cover 2 and exposing the water outlet 11 for convenient drinking water.

[0031] The handle 4 has a slit 42 arranged around the pressing part 41, which makes the pressing part 41 form a press button with increased elasticity. The slit 42 is a C-shaped structure that runs through the thickness of the handle. The opening of the C-shaped structure is the connection part between the pressing part 41 and the handle 4. This allows the pressing part 41 to be suspended in the handle 4, which increases the elasticity of the pressing part 41 and allows the pressing part 41 to undergo greater displacement when force is applied, so as to unlock the locking mechanism 3 more conveniently and reliably.

[0032] In this embodiment, at least the lower edge of the locking mechanism 3 protrudes beyond the cover 1, and a limiting protrusion 44 is provided at the lower edge of the handle 4 to engage with the lower edge of the locking mechanism 3. This structure facilitates the stability of the handle 4 when it is stored, preventing it from flipping over unnecessarily.

[0033] The lower edge of the aforementioned locking mechanism 3 forms a smooth transition, thereby reducing friction on the curved surface 311 of the limiting protrusion 44. With this structure, the handle 4 can be switched between open and closed states with minimal force.

[0034] To facilitate connection and assembly, a horizontally arranged bearing seat 12 is provided on the first side of the cover 1, and a connecting arm 21 extending outward and clamping at both ends of the bearing seat 12 is provided on the edge of the flip cover 2. The handle 4 is an open-ring structure with the middle broken and the two ends clamped on the outside of the connecting arm 21 respectively. A shaft hole 45 is opened at both ends of the handle 4. A connecting shaft 5 passes through the shaft hole 45, the connecting arm 21, and the bearing seat 12 to rotatably connect the handle 4, the flip cover 2, and the cover 1 together.

[0035] The aforementioned bearing 12 has receiving grooves 121 at both ends. A torsion spring 6 is installed in each receiving groove 121 to keep the flip cover 2 in an open position. The first end of the torsion spring 6 abuts against the inner top wall of the receiving groove 121, and the second end of the torsion spring 6 is located outside the receiving groove 121 and abuts against the protruding edge 211 at the top of the connecting arm 21. This structure facilitates the automatic opening of the flip cover 2 in the unlocked state.

[0036] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 3 includes a locking member 31 and an elastic member 32. A mounting groove 13 is provided on the side of the cover 1, and the locking member 31 is movably disposed in the mounting groove 13. The elastic member 32 ensures that the locking member 31 always maintains an outward movement tendency. A slot 22 is provided on the inner surface of the flip cover 2 near its lower edge. Correspondingly, a latch 312 is provided on the top of the locking member 31, which engages with the slot 22 to limit its movement after it moves outward. With this structure, when the locking member 31 is pressed by the pressing part 41 on the handle 4, it overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member 32 and moves backward, causing the latch 312 to disengage from the slot 22, thus unlocking the flip cover. When the locking member 31 is not pressed, the elastic member 32 pushes the locking member 31 forward. At this time, flipping the flip cover 2 downwards until the latch 312 engages with the slot 22 locks the flip cover 2, making operation convenient. The locking mechanism of this embodiment is prior art and will not be described in detail here. Of course, the locking mechanism 3 in this embodiment is not limited to this kind of cooperation structure. Other structures that can move inward to unlock under force and move outward to lock the flip cover 2 under non-force conditions can also be used.

[0037] The container lid in this embodiment is provided with a flip-up handle 4. When using the handle 4, it can be flipped upwards for easy carrying. When not using the handle 4, it can be flipped around the outside of the container lid for easy storage. Furthermore, when the handle 4 is around the outside of the container lid, the pressing part 41 on the handle 4 corresponds exactly to the locking mechanism 3. At this time, if it is necessary to open the flip lid 2, there is no need to flip the handle 4. The locking mechanism 3 can be unlocked by pressing the pressing part 41 on the handle 4. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0038] The container cap of this embodiment can be installed on a bottle body for use, such as Figure 6 As shown, when you need to drink water, with the handle 4 in its stored state, you can directly press the locking mechanism 3 through the pressing part 41 to unlock it, open the flip cover 2, and then you can drink.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0041] like Figure 7 , 8 As shown, the inner wall of the handle 4 in this embodiment is provided with a protrusion 43 that protrudes toward the locking mechanism 3. This protrusion 43 constitutes an auxiliary pressing structure that can reduce the elastic deformation requirement of the handle 4. This solution can reduce the actual distance between the pressing part 41 and the locking mechanism 3, so that the pressing part 41 can unlock the locking mechanism 3 with a very small displacement when subjected to force.

[0042] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.
