Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a water cup, and more particularly to a dual-drink sports cup. Background Technology

[0002] Water cups are common daily necessities. Currently, the market offers two types of water cups based on the drinking method: direct-drinking cups and straw cups. Direct-drinking cups have a simple structure and are convenient for drinking, but the mouth diameter is relatively large, which can easily cause some people (children) to choke and is not suitable for use in certain scenarios (driving, women wearing lipstick, etc.). Therefore, straw cups are more suitable for these types of people.

[0003] To accommodate different users' drinking habits, some water cups now have two drinking spouts on the lid, allowing for both direct drinking and straw drinking. However, switching between these methods often requires multiple steps, making them cumbersome, and the internal structure is also quite complex. For example, to drink with a straw, the straw channel needs to be opened and the direct drinking channel closed; conversely, to drink directly, the direct drinking channel needs to be opened and the straw channel closed. In other words, opening and closing the direct drinking and straw channels requires independent operations, making them inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model aims to provide a dual-drink sports cup that can quickly switch between direct drinking and straw drinking methods, is simple to operate, and is safe and reliable to use.

[0005] This utility model provides a dual-drink sports cup, comprising a cup body, a cup lid, and a top cover. The cup lid is threaded onto the top of the cup body. A spherical mounting cavity is formed by a downward-facing recess in the center of the top surface of the cup lid. An outlet is provided on the front side of the spherical mounting cavity. A straw connection port extends vertically downward from the bottom of the spherical mounting cavity, and a straw is connected to the straw connection port. The bottom end of the straw is close to the bottom surface of the cup body. A mouthpiece is installed inside the spherical mounting cavity, and the lower end of the mouthpiece is shaped to fit the spherical mounting cavity. The spout has a vertically arranged water outlet channel that communicates with the straw connection port. A horizontally arranged water inlet is located at the spherical position below the spout. The water inlet and the water outlet are compatible. The upper part of the spout is connected to the top surface of the cup lid by a connecting cap. The spout can rotate freely around the vertical axis in the spherical mounting cavity. When the top cover is closed, it seals with the spout. When the spout is rotated to the point where the water inlet and the water outlet are connected, it switches to direct drinking mode. When the spout is rotated to the point where the water inlet and the water outlet are separated, it switches to straw drinking mode.

Detailed Implementation

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

[0027] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model provides a dual-drink sports cup, including a cup body 1, a cup lid 2, and a top cover 3. The cup lid 2 is threaded to the top of the cup body 1. The top surface of the cup lid 2 is recessed downward to form a spherical mounting cavity 21. The front side of the spherical mounting cavity 21 is provided with a water outlet 211. A straw connection port 212 extends vertically downward from the bottom of the spherical mounting cavity 21. A straw 4 is connected to the straw connection port 212. The bottom end of the straw 4 is close to the bottom surface of the cup body 1. A mouthpiece 5 is installed inside the spherical mounting cavity 21. The lower end of the mouthpiece 5 is adapted to the shape of the spherical mounting cavity 21. The mouthpiece 5 has a vertically arranged water outlet channel 51 that communicates with the straw connection port 212. The spherical position below the mouthpiece 5 has a horizontally arranged water inlet 52 that is compatible with the water outlet 211. The upper part of the mouthpiece 5 is limited and connected to the top surface of the cup lid 2 by the connecting cover 6. The mouthpiece 5 can rotate freely around the vertical axis in the spherical mounting cavity 21. When the top cover 3 is closed, it seals with the mouthpiece 5. When the mouthpiece 5 is rotated to the point where the water inlet 52 and the water outlet 211 are connected, it switches to the direct drinking mode. When the mouthpiece 5 is rotated to the point where the water inlet 52 and the water outlet 211 are separated, it switches to the straw drinking mode.

[0028] In the above scheme, the top cover 3 is a flip cover, which is hinged to the rear side of the top of the cup lid 2. The front side of the top of the cup lid 2 is provided with a pressing locking member 8. When the top cover 3 is closed on the cup lid 2, it is locked or unlocked by pressing the pressing locking member 8.

[0029] Specifically, a strip-shaped sealing rib 53 extends from the outer periphery of the water inlet 52 of the suction nozzle 5 and seals with the spherical mounting cavity 21.

[0030] In addition, a horizontal mounting channel 22 is provided on the front side of the cup lid 2. The pressing locking component 8 includes a slider 81, a compression spring 82, and a silicone sleeve 83. The slider 81 is installed in the mounting channel 22. The left and right sides of the front part of the slider 81 are provided with strip holes 811. The guide shaft 84 passes through the two strip holes 811 and is connected to the cup lid 2 on the left and right sides of the mounting channel 22. The rear part of the slider 81 is a cylindrical section 812. The cylindrical section 812 passes through the mounting channel 22 and is connected to the silicone sleeve 83 at the rear end. The compression spring 82 is sleeved on the outside of the cylindrical section 812 and its front and rear ends are separated. Do not touch the slider 81 and the cup lid 2. The compression spring 82 presses the slider 81 outward to keep it in an ejected state. The silicone sleeve 83 seals the rear end of the installation channel 22. The front top surface of the cup lid 2 is provided with a through hole communicating with the installation channel 22. The front top surface of the slider 81 is provided with a locking hole 813. The rear side of the locking hole 813 of the slider 81 is provided with a hook 814. The front end of the top cover 3 is provided with a perforated locking plate 31. When the top cover 3 is flipped down to close, the perforated locking plate 31 is inserted into the locking hole 813 and engaged with the hook 814. A torsion spring is provided at the hinge of the rear end of the top cover 3 and the cup lid 2.

[0031] Specifically, the top cover 3 extends from the rear with two first hinge seats 32 on the left and right, the cup cover 2 extends from the rear with two second hinge seats 23 on the left and right, and also includes a buckle 9. The buckle 9 extends from the middle with a third hinge seat 91. The pin 10 passes through the first hinge seat 32, the second hinge seat 23, the third hinge seat 91, and the torsion spring to hinge the above parts together.

[0032] Specifically, the top surface of the cup lid 2 is provided with a first annular step surface 24, a second step surface 25, and a spherical mounting cavity 21 that are sequentially recessed from the outside to the inside. The first annular step surface 24 has annular flanges 241 extending inward from its left and right sides. The connecting cover 6 includes a top annular plate 61. Two levers 611 extend upward from the top surface of the annular plate 61. A sleeve 62 extends downward from the annular plate 61. Positioning ribs 621 extend from the left and right sides of the lower outer side of the sleeve 62, and positioning blocks extend from the left and right sides of the inner side of the sleeve 62. 622, the lower spherical section of the suction nozzle 5 has two positioning grooves 54 on its top surface. The positioning block 622 is inserted into the positioning groove 54 to achieve synchronous positioning of the suction nozzle 5 and the connecting cover 6 in the rotation direction. The positioning rib 621 is located between the annular flange 241 and the second step surface 25 to achieve vertical anti-fall-off limiting. The top of the lower spherical section of the suction nozzle 5 is recessed inward to form a locking annular groove 55. The inner side of the annular plate 61 is embedded in the locking annular groove 55, and the outer side of the annular plate 61 is located in the first annular step surface 24.

[0033] Furthermore, the cup lid 2 has a mounting hole at the rear of its top surface, and a silicone plug 11 is installed in the mounting hole. The silicone plug 11 has a vent hole 111. A plunger 33 extends downward from the rear of the bottom surface of the top cover 3. When the top cover 3 is closed, the plunger 33 is inserted into the vent hole 111 to seal it. When the top cover 3 is opened for drinking water, the vent hole 111 is exposed to allow outside air to enter the cup body 1 to balance the internal and external air pressure.

[0034] Specifically, the bottom end of the straw 4 is located at the bottom of the cup body 1.

[0035] Specifically, the cup lid 2 is provided with an annular sealing ring in the groove at the top of the cup body 1. When the cup body 1 and the cup lid 2 are screwed together, the top of the cup body 1 is pressed against the bottom surface of the annular sealing ring to maintain the sealing of the connection structure.

[0036] Specifically, the buckle 9 has a closed racetrack-shaped cross section, and the cup strap is flexibly connected to the buckle 9.

[0037] This invention enables switching between direct drinking and straw drinking by rotating the spout 5. The spout 5 is positioned and fixed by a series of structures on the connecting cover 6 and the spherical mounting cavity 21. After being positioned, the spout 5 can only rotate freely around its vertical axis. Furthermore, the structure at the pressing locking member 8 serves two purposes: connecting to the top cover 3 and providing pre-pressure relief. When the slider 81 is pushed inward, the silicone sleeve 83 disengages from the rear end of the mounting channel 22, thus balancing the internal and external pressures and preventing excessive pressure inside the cup 1 from causing spraying when the lid is opened or insufficient pressure from preventing the lid from opening.

[0038] In addition, when the top cover 3 is opened, the vent hole 111 of the silicone stopper 11 is in a state of being connected to the outside air after the plunger 33 disengages from the vent hole 111. The vent hole 111 is a racetrack-shaped opening, which is larger than the circular vent holes of about 1-2mm on the market. When drinking water, the outside air enters the cup body 1 through the vent hole 111, with a large air intake, which can quickly balance the internal and external air pressure and ensure smooth drinking.

[0039] The suction nozzle 5 of this utility model can be made of soft rubber and matched with a hard top cover. When the top cover is closed, the suction nozzle 5 bends to seal. Alternatively, the suction nozzle 5 can be made of hard rubber and matched with a top cover with a soft rubber sealing device to achieve a seal.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, or alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical principles of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
