Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle cap technology, and more specifically, to an anti-theft bottle cap and a wine bottle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in order to boost sales, many liquor bottles have QR codes inside the caps and have launched promotions where customers can scan the codes to redeem prizes. Because the prizes are substantial, some criminals use special tools to forcibly remove or push out the outer cap in order to redeem the prizes. They then use a hairdryer to heat the QR code attached to the inner cap, allowing them to peel off the QR code label and steal the internal QR code to redeem the prize. After redeeming the prize, they stick the QR code label back onto the inner cap, align it with the anti-counterfeiting teeth, press it onto the outer cap, and then resell the product on the market.

[0003] Because the outer cap is not rotated open and the anti-counterfeiting teeth are not damaged, this method of operation makes it impossible to identify whether the product has been opened from the appearance. Consumers will only find out that they cannot redeem the prize when they open the bottle to drink it, which affects the consumer experience and the reputation of the winery. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-theft bottle cap and wine bottle to solve the above-mentioned defects of the prior art.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] Example 1

[0031] refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides an anti-theft bottle cap, including an outer cap, an inner cap 3, an inner sleeve 4, an outer sleeve 5, and a QR code sticker 6. The upper end of the inner sleeve 4 is threadedly connected to the inner cap 3, and the lower end of the inner sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to the outer sleeve 5. It should be understood that the outer cap and the inner cap 3 form a whole after being connected, and the outer sleeve 5 and the inner sleeve 4 form a whole after being connected. By twisting the outer cap, the inner cap 3 can be rotated, thereby opening the bottle cap. (Reference) Figure 4 and Figure 8 As an alternative, the top side of the outer cover 5 is provided with several easily breakable anti-counterfeiting flaps 501, and the bottom of the lower outer cover 2 is provided with a receiving opening 2015 for accommodating the anti-counterfeiting flaps 501. When the outer cover is twisted to open the bottle cap, the outer cover will break the anti-counterfeiting flaps 501, which cannot be restored, thereby achieving the purpose of anti-counterfeiting.

[0032] In this embodiment, the outer cover is formed by welding an upper outer cover 1 and a lower outer cover 2. Preferably, the upper outer cover 1 and the lower outer cover 2 are laser-welded. (Reference) Figures 2-4 The lower outer cover 2 has a lower positioning cylinder 201 inside, and the bottom of the upper outer cover 1 has an upper positioning cylinder 101 that mates with the lower positioning cylinder 201. The lower positioning cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner cover 3. A QR code sticker 6 is affixed to the top of the inner cover 3, and the QR code sticker 6 has several protrusions 601 extending beyond the outer edge of the inner cover 3 (see reference). Figure 5 As an alternative, this embodiment has protrusions 601 evenly spaced along the circumference. In other embodiments, the number of protrusions 601 can also be different. When the upper positioning cylinder 101 and the lower positioning cylinder 201 are engaged, the protrusions 601 can be folded and clamped between the upper positioning cylinder 101 and the lower positioning cylinder 201. In this way, if criminals forcibly pull up the entire outer cover, they will tear off the QR code sticker 6, making it impossible to scan the code to redeem prizes.

[0033] In practical applications, the entire lower surface of the QR code sticker 6 is coated with strong adhesive and fixed to the top of the inner cover 3. After the upper outer cover 1 and the lower outer cover 2 are assembled, while clamping the protrusion 601, the protrusion 601 of the QR code sticker 6 will also be attached to the outside of the lower positioning cylinder 201. In this way, if criminals pull off the outer cover, they can more easily tear off the QR code sticker 6.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the QR code sticker 6 also incorporates several measures to make it easier to tear, thereby achieving a better anti-theft effect. For example, the QR code sticker 6 is made of fragile paper, whose fabric tensile strength is lower than that of the adhesive, making it impossible to peel off completely after application. Additionally, an easy-tear opening is provided in the middle of the QR code sticker 6. This easy-tear opening can be formed by cutting a decorative edge or creating continuous perforated lines. The principle is to reduce the tearing resistance by decreasing the local cross-sectional area, allowing the material to be torn along a predetermined position.

[0035] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 An anti-rotation block 1012 is provided on the outer side of the upper positioning cylinder 101, and an anti-rotation groove 2014 that mates with the anti-rotation block 1012 is provided on the inner wall of the lower outer cover 2. It is worth noting that, through the cooperation of the anti-rotation block 1012 and the anti-rotation groove 2014, on the one hand, it is convenient to initially position the upper outer cover 1 and the lower outer cover 2 before welding; on the other hand, it can limit the applied torque, making the connection between the upper outer cover 1 and the lower outer cover 2 more stable.

[0036] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the lower outer cover 2 and the inner cover 3 are fixedly connected as follows: the inner wall of the lower positioning cylinder 201 is provided with a first anti-rotation tooth 20121, and the outer wall of the inner cover 3 is provided with a second anti-rotation tooth 301 that cooperates with the first anti-rotation tooth 20121. That is, the relative rotation of the two is restricted by the first anti-rotation tooth 20121 and the second anti-rotation tooth 301; the inner wall of the lower positioning cylinder 201 is provided with a plurality of hanging platforms 20131 along the circumferential direction, and the outer wall of the inner cover 3 is provided with an annular platform 302 that abuts against the top of the hanging platform 20131. That is, the axial displacement of the two is restricted by the cooperation of the hanging platform 20131 and the annular platform 302.

[0037] Refer again Figures 2-4Furthermore, the outer wall of the lower positioning cylinder 201 and the inner wall of the upper positioning cylinder 101 form a mutually cooperating conical structure. The lower positioning cylinder 201 has several notches 2011 along the circumferential direction, which divide the lower positioning cylinder 201 into several anti-rotation parts 2012 and axial limiting parts 2013. The anti-rotation parts 2012 and axial limiting parts 2013 are arranged crosswise. The first anti-rotation tooth 20121 is located on the inner side of the anti-rotation part 2012, and the mounting platform 20131 is located on the inner side of the axial limiting part 2013. In this way, when the upper outer cover 1 and the lower outer cover 2 are assembled, the axial limiting part 2013 can be squeezed and deformed inward, making the mounting platform 20131 and the ring platform 302 more reliable. After assembly, it cannot spring back, greatly enhancing the stability between the outer cover and the inner cover 3, making it more difficult for criminals to remove the outer cover.

[0038] In this embodiment, the lower positioning cylinder 201 is provided with a lower positioning step 20122, and the upper positioning cylinder 101 is provided with an upper positioning step 1011 that cooperates with the lower positioning step 20122, so as to better realize the axial positioning between the upper outer cover 1 and the lower outer cover 2. Based on the above, the lower positioning step 20122 is provided on the outside of the anti-rotation part 2012.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 as well as Figures 7-10 In this embodiment, the bottle cap also includes a warning ring 7, which is located between the outer sleeve 5 and the inner sleeve 4. The side wall of the warning ring 7 has a locking block 701, with one side of the locking block 701 connected to the warning ring 7 and the other side disconnected from it, so that the locking block 701 is elastic. The outer wall of the inner sleeve 4 has a first annular groove 401, and the locking block 701 has a first locking tooth 7011 that engages with the first annular groove 401. The outer side of the warning ring 7 has a warning label for identifying that the bottle cap has been opened. The specific form of the warning label is not limited. As an option, in this embodiment, the warning label is in the form of text, for example, several "opened" characters are engraved at intervals along the circumference of the warning ring 7.

[0040] With the warning ring 7 in place, the connection between the inner sleeve 4 and the outer sleeve 5 is as follows: the inner wall of the outer sleeve 5 is provided with a second retaining tooth 502, and the outer wall of the warning ring 7 is provided with a second annular retaining groove 702. The second retaining tooth 502 and the second annular retaining groove 702 cooperate to restrict the relative axial displacement of the outer sleeve 5 and the inner sleeve 4; the inner wall of the outer sleeve 5 is provided with a third anti-rotation tooth 503, and the outer wall of the inner sleeve 4 is provided with a fourth anti-rotation tooth 402. The third anti-rotation tooth 503 and the fourth anti-rotation tooth 402 cooperate to restrict the relative rotation of the outer sleeve 5 and the inner sleeve 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the upper end of the warning ring 7 has an inwardly folded first skirt 703, and the lower end of the inner cap 3 has an outwardly folded second skirt 303. After the bottle cap is assembled, the second skirt 303 is located below the first skirt 703. In this way, after the bottle cap is opened, the first skirt 703 on the warning ring 7 prevents the second skirt 303 from moving downward, making it difficult to close the bottle cap after it is opened, thus further improving the anti-counterfeiting effect.

Those skilled in the art should understand that in actual applications, an inner plug 8 is also fixedly connected inside the inner sleeve 4, and the bottle mouth of the bottle body 9 is pressed between the inner plug 8 and the inner sleeve 4.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
