Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the increasing number of beverage shops, milk tea shops, and coffee shops, the demand for cups used to hold drinks is also increasing. For the convenience of consumers, cup lids are equipped with direct drinking holes, sealed with a sealing cap. However, current sealing caps and lids are usually separate units or connected by a strap, both of which have significant drawbacks. With a separate structure, the sealing cap is usually discarded after removal, and the lid cannot be sealed if the drink cannot be finished quickly. While the strap connection allows the cap to remain attached after removal, the strap's large movement creates inconvenience for the user, negatively impacting the user experience. Chinese utility model patent No. 202222301195.6, a rotating cup lid, effectively solves this problem. However, this patent has a drawback: the straw hole and the rotating shaft hole are shared, resulting in a large rotating shaft. To accommodate the rotation, the rotating lid becomes larger, increasing material costs. Furthermore, the patent does not address the vent hole; when the cup is not used for a long time, heat cannot dissipate, and suddenly opening the rotating lid could burn hands, posing a safety risk. Therefore, this invention designs a lower-cost direct-drinking cup lid that will not burn hands. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a direct-drinking cup lid structure, which includes a lid body 1, a rotating lid 2, and a sealing component 3. The lid body 1 protrudes upward to form a boss 14, on which a direct-drinking hole 15 is provided. A recessed groove 11 is formed on the boss 14 on one side of the direct-drinking hole 15. A pivot hole 18 penetrating the lid body 1 and a vent hole 12 are provided in the recessed groove 11. A buffer groove 13 is provided on the boss 14 within the recessed groove 11. The vent hole 12 is located within the buffer groove 13 and can release hot steam from the cup, preventing the user from being burned when opening the direct-drinking hole 15. The rotating lid 2 is located within the recessed groove 11 and has a rotating shaft 21 that rotates within the pivot hole 18. The rotating lid 2 and the buffer groove 13... A gap is formed between the two parts. The sealing element 3 is integrally formed on the rotating cover 2 and completely seals the drinking hole 15. The rotating cover 2 can rotate along the rotating shaft 21, which in turn drives the sealing element 3 to move and open the drinking hole 15. In order not to affect the drinking of the drinking hole 15, there is a distance between the drinking hole 15 and the sinking groove 11. For example, when the rotating cover 2 moves in a circle along the rotating shaft 21 under the action of external force, the sealing element 3 will move in a circle along the opening edge of the sinking groove 11, thus opening the drinking hole 15. The sealing element 3 can play a role in preventing dust and also play a role in sealing when not used for a short time. A slope 111 is formed on both sides of the drinking hole 15. The slope of the slope 111 gradually decreases from one end of the drinking hole 15 to both sides. The purpose of this design is to fit the human lips better and make it easier to drink.

[0025] It should be noted that the buffer groove 13 is designed with a protruding part at the bottom of the lid 1. This protruding part can cushion the beverage when drinking, preventing it from flowing out of the vent 12. In addition, the connection between the buffer groove 13 and the lid 1 is very thin. Pressing it firmly can open the buffer groove 13, allowing it to connect with the cup and be used as a straw hole.

[0026] Specifically, when drinking from the cup, the beverage flows out through the drinking hole 15. To prevent the beverage from spilling onto clothing, a collection groove 19 is formed between the lid 1 and the boss 14. The collection groove 19 is located below the drinking hole 15 and collects the outflowing beverage. A flange 16 is also provided on the lid 1 along its circumference. A snap-fit ​​groove 17 is formed between the flange 16 and the lid 1 for fitting with the cup. To achieve a seal, a rib 112 is provided in the snap-fit ​​groove 17, and the rib 112 directly engages with the mouth of the cup.

[0027] Specifically, in order to facilitate the rotation of the rotating cover 2, the sinking groove 11 is designed to be circular.

[0028] Specifically, a step 110 is provided on the protrusion 14 at the drinking hole 15.

[0029] Specifically, in order to save costs, the thickness of the rotating cover 2 is designed to be between 0.2mm and 3mm, which is smaller than that of the traditional rotating cover 2. The main reason is that the rotating shaft hole 18 of the traditional rotating cover 2 is shared with the straw hole, which makes the rotating shaft 21 on the rotating cover 2 large, thus making the rotating cover larger and increasing the manufacturing cost.

[0030] Specifically, the sealing component 3 includes a connecting rib 31 connected to the rotating cover 2 and a component body 32 integrally formed with the connecting rib 31. The component body 32 is provided with a drinking cap 33 adapted to the direct drinking hole 15, and a locking platform 34 adapted to the step 110 is provided on one side of the drinking cap 33 on the component body 32. A finger position 35 is provided on the locking platform 34. When the sealing component 3 is placed on the drinking hole 15, the drinking cap 33 seals the direct drinking hole 15, and the locking platform 34 engages with the step 110. When it is necessary to open the drinking hole 15, the finger position 35 is pried open by hand, so that the locking platform 34 disengages from the step 110, and at the same time, the drinking cap 33 disengages from the direct drinking hole 15. The rotating cover 2 is rotated, so that the sealing component 3 moves with the rotating cover 2 until the sealing component 3 stops when it no longer affects the user's drinking. In this way, the drinking hole 15 is exposed on the outside, so as to facilitate drinking.

[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
