Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In current drinking cup technology, button cups are a common type of cup. They typically have a button that unlocks the lid and allows drinking by pressing it inwards. However, the buttons on current button cups are usually designed as push buttons. When a finger presses the button, water stains, bacteria, and dirt from the finger can remain on the button and enter the button groove, making it very inconvenient to clean and prone to bacterial growth. There is room for improvement. Therefore, this application provides a cup lid and a button cup. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a button cup.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cup lid, comprising:

[0007] The lid is fixed to the mouth of the cup, and a first hook and a drinking spout are vertically installed on it;

[0008] The flip cover is rotatably connected to one side of the cover base via a pivot, allowing it to flip over onto the cover base, covering the drinking spout and exposing the first hook.

[0009] A sliding cover is slidably disposed on the outside of the flip cover, completely covering the top and one side of the flip cover. The bottom of the sliding cover is provided with a receiving groove for accommodating the first hook. When the sliding cover slides relative to the flip cover, the receiving groove can be displaced relative to the first hook. A slot for engaging with the first hook is provided on one side wall of the receiving groove. An elastic element is provided between the sliding cover and the flip cover. The elastic element is used to push the sliding cover to one side so that one side of the first hook enters the slot for engagement.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a locking component, which includes a movable block located between the sliding cover and the flip cover. A protrusion is fixed on the top of the movable block, and a clearance groove is provided at the corresponding position of the protrusion on the sliding cover. The protrusion extends through the clearance groove to the top of the sliding cover. The protrusion can drive the movable block to reciprocate within the clearance groove, so that the movable block is in an unlocked or locked mode. The direction of movement is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding cover. When the sliding cover slides, it can drive the movable block to move in the same direction through the clearance groove and the protrusion.

[0011] The top of the flip cover is fixed with an abutment block, which is located on one side of the movable block. The movable block is provided with an avoidance groove. When the movable block is in the unlocked mode, the avoidance groove is aligned with the abutment block, and the sliding cover can drive the movable block to move so that the abutment block enters the avoidance groove. When the movable block is in the locked mode, the avoidance groove and the abutment block are misaligned and abut against each other, and the sliding cover cannot drive the movable block to move.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the movable block is provided with an unlock icon and a lock icon. In the unlock mode, the unlock icon is exposed in the clearance slot, and the lock icon is covered. In the lock mode, the lock icon is exposed in the clearance slot, and the unlock icon is covered.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the flip cover has a protrusion, and the two sides of the protrusion have first sliding portions. The top of the flip cover is locked outside the protrusion and completely covers the side of the protrusion. The flip cover is provided with a second sliding portion at the position corresponding to the first sliding portion, which slides in cooperation with it.

[0014] Furthermore, the first sliding part is a hook edge provided on the side of the boss, and the bottom surface of the hook edge is flat. The second sliding part includes an elastic connecting part and a second hook provided at the bottom of the elastic connecting part. The hook surface of the second hook slides in cooperation with the bottom surface of the hook edge. By applying a predetermined force upward to the second hook, the elastic connecting part can be forced to deform away from the boss, thereby disengaging the second hook from the hook edge.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the first hook has an inclined chamfer. When the flip cover is flipped and closed at the drinking spout, the bottom of the corresponding receiving groove of the sliding cover abuts against the chamfer, forcing the sliding cover to slide to the flip cover side.

[0016] A button cup includes a cup body and the aforementioned cup lid.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0018] This invention completely covers the top and one side of the flip cover with a sliding cover. When the cover is opened, water stains, bacteria, dirt and other residues on the fingers are directly exposed to the outside, and can be cleaned directly by washing with water. This makes cleaning more convenient and greatly reduces the growth of bacteria. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model discloses a cup lid, comprising:

[0034] The lid 1 is fixed to the mouth of the cup by means of threaded engagement or snap-fit, and a first hook 11 is vertically provided on it and a drinking spout 12 is provided on it;

[0035] The flip cover 2 is rotatably connected to one side of the cover base 1 via a pivot 21. It can flip over and cover the cover base 1, covering the drinking spout 12 and exposing the first hook 11.

[0036] The sliding cover 3 is slidably disposed on the outside of the flip cover 2, and completely covers the top and one side of the flip cover 2. The bottom of the sliding cover 3 is provided with a receiving groove 31 for accommodating the first hook 11. When the sliding cover slides relative to the flip cover 2, the receiving groove 31 can be displaced relative to the first hook 11. A slot 32 for engaging with the first hook 11 is provided on one side of the groove wall of the receiving groove 31. An elastic member 4 is provided between the sliding cover 3 and the flip cover 2. The elastic member 4 is used to push the sliding cover 3 to one side so that one side of the first hook 11 enters the slot 32 for engagement.

[0037] In this application, when the sliding cover 3 is pressed, the elastic element 4 compresses the first hook 11 and disengages it from the slot 32, thus releasing the limitation of the sliding cover 3 relative to the cover seat 1. Then, the sliding cover 3 is flipped open, causing the flip cover 2 to move together and expose the drinking spout 12. When closing, the sliding cover 3 and the flip cover 2 are rotated in the opposite direction, so that the first hook 11 enters the receiving groove 31. Then, the hand is released, and the elastic element 4 pushes the sliding cover 3 to one side, so that one side of the first hook 11 enters the slot 32 for engagement.

[0038] Preferably, the elastic element 4 is a spring.

[0039] Preferably, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure) is provided on the rotating shaft 21 to automatically flip and open the cover 2 after the first hook 11 is removed from the slot 32.

[0040] Preferably, the sliding cover 3 is L-shaped, with one side of the L-shape covering the top of the flip cover 2 and the other side of the L-shape covering one side of the flip cover 2, so that one side of the flip cover 2 is completely tucked into the sliding cover 3.

[0041] This invention completely covers the top and one side of the flip cover 2 with a sliding cover 3. When the cover is opened, water stains, bacteria, dirt and other residues on the fingers are directly exposed to the outside, and the dirt can be cleaned directly by washing with water. This makes cleaning more convenient and greatly reduces the growth of bacteria.

[0042] In one embodiment, a locking component is also included, which includes a movable block 5 located between the sliding cover 3 and the flip cover 2. A protrusion 51 is fixed on the top of the movable block 5. A clearance groove 33 is provided at the position of the corresponding protrusion 51 on the sliding cover 3. The protrusion 51 extends through the clearance groove 33 to the top of the sliding cover 3. The protrusion 51 can drive the movable block 5 to reciprocate within the clearance groove 33, so that the movable block 5 is in an unlocked mode or a locked mode. The direction of movement is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding cover 3. When the sliding cover 3 slides, it can drive the movable block 5 to move in the same direction through the clearance groove 33 and the protrusion 51.

[0043] The top of the flip cover 2 is fixed with an abutment block 22, which is located on one side of the movable block 5. The movable block 5 is provided with a clearance groove. When the movable block 5 is in the unlocked mode, the clearance groove is aligned with the abutment block 22, and the sliding cover 3 can move the movable block 5 so that the abutment block 22 enters the clearance groove. When the movable block 5 is in the locked mode, the clearance groove and the abutment block 22 are misaligned and abutted, and the sliding cover 3 cannot move the movable block 5. This design can prevent accidental opening of the flip cover 2.

[0044] In one embodiment, the top of the movable block 5 is provided with an unlock icon 52 and a lock icon 53. In the unlock mode, the unlock icon 52 is exposed in the clearance slot 33, while the lock icon 53 is covered. In the lock mode, the lock icon 53 is exposed in the clearance slot 33, while the unlock icon 52 is covered. In this way, the user can intuitively determine whether the current state is unlocked by only one icon being exposed.

[0045] In one embodiment, the top of the flip cover 2 has a protrusion 23, and the two sides of the protrusion 23 have first sliding portions 231. The top of the sliding cover 3 is locked outside the protrusion 23 and completely covers the side of the protrusion 23. The sliding cover 3 is provided with a second sliding portion 24 at the position corresponding to the first sliding portion 231 and slides with it.

[0046] In specific implementation, one of the first sliding part 231 and the second sliding part 24 can be a guide groove or guide rail, and the other is a slider that slides with the guide groove or guide rail; of course, there can be other sliding engagement forms; by completely covering the side of the boss 23 by the sliding cover 3, the stroke of the first sliding part 231 and the second sliding part 24 is limited by the positional relationship between the sliding cover 3 and the boss 23, so as to prevent the first sliding part 231 and the second sliding part 24 from separating.

[0047] In one embodiment, to facilitate the disassembly of the sliding cover 3 and the flip cover 2, the first sliding part 231 is a hook edge provided on the side of the boss 23, and the bottom surface of the hook edge is flat. The second sliding part 24 includes an elastic connecting part 241 and a second hook 242 provided at the bottom of the elastic connecting part 241. The hook surface of the second hook 242 slides and engages with the bottom surface of the hook edge. By applying a predetermined force upward to the second hook 242, the elastic connecting part 241 can be forced to deform away from the boss 23, thereby disengaging the second hook 242 from the hook edge.

[0048] Preferably, the elastic connecting part 241 is a plate capable of elastic deformation. The hook surface of the second hook 242 can be set to be inclined, so that the side of the hook surface near the hook edge is inclined downward, or the bottom surface of the hook edge can be set to be inclined, so that the side of the bottom surface of the hook edge near the second hook 242 is inclined upward. In this way, when the second hook 242 is subjected to an upward force, the elastic connecting part 241 can deform in the direction away from the boss 23.

[0049] In one embodiment, the top of the first hook 11 has a chamfered angle. When the flip cover 2 is flipped and closed at the drinking spout 12, the bottom of the corresponding receiving groove 31 of the sliding cover 3 abuts against the chamfer, forcing the sliding cover 3 to slide towards the flip cover 2. This facilitates the automatic locking of the sliding cover 3.

[0050] This utility model also discloses a button cup, including a cup body 6 and the aforementioned cup lid.

[0051] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.
