A container

Abstract

This application relates to a container comprising a container body and a handle. The handle is rotatable relative to the container body about a rotation axis extending radially along the container body. One of the handle and the container body is provided with a limiting member, and the other with a mating portion. The limiting member is elastically retractable in a direction parallel to the rotation axis to engage or disengage with the mating portion, thereby locking or unlocking the rotation of the handle relative to the container body about the rotation axis. By limiting the handle's rotation about the rotation axis through the engagement of the limiting member and the mating portion, the risk of accidental rotation relative to the container body due to accidental handle contact is reduced, improving the stability of the container in different states and thus enhancing user safety.

Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A kettle generally consists of a container and a handle. The container is used to store liquid. To make it easier for users to use, the handle on the market can usually rotate relative to the container for easy storage. However, when users use the handle to pour liquid out of the container, there is a risk that the handle may accidentally rotate relative to the container, reducing the safety of use. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a container to address the problem that, during the process of a user pouring liquid from the container using a handle, the handle may accidentally rotate relative to the container body, reducing the safety of use.

[0004] This application provides a container, the container including a container body and a handle, the handle being rotatable relative to the container body about a rotation axis, the rotation axis extending radially along the container body;

[0005] One of the handle and the container body is provided with a limiting member, and the other is provided with a mating part. The limiting member can elastically contract in a direction parallel to the rotation axis so that the limiting member and the mating part are engaged or disengaged to lock or unlock the rotation state of the handle relative to the container body about the rotation axis.

[0006] This solution incorporates a limiting component and a mating part on the container. As the handle rotates relative to the container body, the limiting component elastically deforms, automatically engaging or disengaging with the mating part. This allows the container to smoothly and quickly switch between its use and storage states. Therefore, compared to traditional storage handles that require pressing an unlock button to release, this solution simplifies user operation and improves the convenience of using and storing the container. Furthermore, in both use and storage states, the limiting component and mating part restrict the handle's rotation around the axis, reducing the risk of accidental handle activation and resulting rotation relative to the container body. This improves the container's stability in different states and ultimately enhances user safety.

[0007] In this design, the mating part is a groove provided in the handle, and the limiting member includes a limiting part and a first elastic member. One end of the first elastic member is connected to the limiting part, and the other end is directly or indirectly connected to the container body. The limiting part is used to limit or release the limiting engagement with the groove.

[0008] This design incorporates a limiting part and a first elastic element in the limiting component. During handle rotation, the first elastic element deforms elastically, allowing the limiting part to automatically engage or disengage with the mating part, improving user convenience when using or storing the container. Furthermore, the limiting part can be a top bead structure. The engagement between the protruding top bead and the recessed mating part enhances the stability of the locking handle's rotation relative to the container body around the rotation axis, thus improving the reliability and stability of the container in both its use and storage states.

[0009] In this solution, the container body includes a first mounting groove, and the limiting member further includes a body fixedly installed in the first mounting groove. The body has a receiving cavity, and the first elastic member is located in the receiving cavity and connected to the container body through the body.

[0010] This design improves the reliability and stability of the limiting component when it is installed in the container body by fixing the main body in the first mounting groove. At the same time, the first elastic component is located inside the receiving cavity, avoiding exposure of the first elastic component and reducing the risk of damage or torsion of the first elastic component, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the limiting part moving radially along the container.

[0011] In this solution, the container body includes a container body and a container lid assembly, and along the rotation direction of the handle, the mating part includes at least a first mating part and a second mating part that are spaced apart.

[0012] When the limiting part is engaged with the first mating part, a portion of the handle is located above the container lid assembly along the height direction of the container. When the limiting part is engaged with the second mating part, the handle is retracted into the outer periphery of the container body.

[0013] This solution utilizes a limiting part that engages with either the first or second mating part to maintain the container in different states, thereby meeting various user requirements and improving the user experience. Simultaneously, the limiting part's engagement with the first or second mating part enhances the reliability and stability of the container in both its active and stored states.

[0014] In this design, the second mating part includes a first groove and a second groove, and along the rotation direction of the handle, the first groove is located between the first mating part and the second groove;

[0015] When the limiting part is engaged with the first groove, the handle is housed on the outer periphery of the container cap assembly; when the limiting part is engaged with the second groove, the handle is housed on the outer periphery of the container body.

[0016] Specifically, the container's storage state can also include a first storage state and a second storage state, wherein the handle in the first storage state is closer to the handle in the use state than the handle in the second storage state.

[0017] When the limiting part engages with the first groove, the container is in the first retracted state, and the handle is retracted to the outer periphery of the container lid assembly. When the limiting part engages with the second groove, the container is in the second retracted state, and the handle is retracted to the outer periphery of the container body.

[0018] In the first retracted state, the handle is stored around the outer periphery of the container lid assembly, allowing the user to open the lid assembly located in the central area, thus facilitating the brewing of tea bags and improving the user experience. In the second retracted state, the handle can be stored around the outer periphery of the container body parallel to its radial direction. Even when the cross-section of the curved handle's outer wall is approximately parallel to the plane containing the container body's outer wall along its radial direction, the handle can cover at least a portion of the container's outer periphery. This state, compared to the first retracted state, occupies less volume, facilitating further storage and saving space. Simultaneously, the limiting part engages with the first groove to maintain the first retracted state, allowing the user to switch to the usable state with a relatively small rotation of the handle after brewing, further enhancing the user experience.

[0019] In this design, the angle between the first mating part and the second mating part along the rotation direction of the handle satisfies: 90°≤θ≤145°.

[0020] In this design, when the handle switches from the use state to the storage state, or vice versa, the angle θ of the handle rotation satisfies: 90°≤θ≤145°, that is, the angle of the central angle formed between the first mating part and the second mating part is θ. This ensures that the angle of the handle rotation around the rotation axis is moderate. When the handle switches to the storage state, it reduces the risk of the handle obstructing the user from opening the cover assembly, improving the user experience. At the same time, it reduces the risk of the handle having a large movement stroke when switching to the use state, making it easier for the user to drive the switch.

[0021] In this solution, the handle further includes a protrusion, and the container body further includes a sliding groove, the sliding groove including a first limiting wall and a second limiting wall;

[0022] When the limiting part is engaged with the first mating part, the first limiting wall abuts against the protrusion along the rotation direction of the handle;

[0023] When the limiting part is engaged with the second groove, the second limiting wall abuts against the protrusion along the rotation direction of the handle;

[0024] The protrusion and the chute are arc-shaped structures, and the central angle of the chute is larger than the central angle of the protrusion so that the protrusion can rotate along the chute, thereby improving the feasibility and reliability of the container switching to different states.

[0025] This design improves the stability of the container in use and enhances the safety of the user's grip by utilizing the combined action of the first limiting wall abutting against the protrusion and the limiting part engaging with the first mating part. Furthermore, the combined action of the second limiting wall abutting against the protrusion and the limiting part engaging with the second groove improves the reliability and stability of the container in its second stored state. Simultaneously, along the direction of handle rotation, the abutments of the first and second limiting walls against the protrusion reduce the risk of over-rotation of the handle, thereby reducing the risk of handle damage and extending the container's lifespan.

[0026] In this solution, the container further includes fasteners, gaskets, and locking components. The container body includes a connecting shaft extending radially along the container. The handle includes a connecting post protruding toward the container body. The connecting post is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft. The connecting post and the connecting shaft are rotatably connected by the fasteners.

[0027] The connecting shaft is provided with a notch, and the center of the gasket is provided with a center hole that is irregularly matched with the notch. The gasket is located between the notch and the locking member, and the locking member is clamped between the gasket and the fastener, so that the gasket and the locking member are relatively fixed to the connecting shaft during the rotation of the handle.

[0028] In this design, both the gasket and the locking element can be made of anti-slip materials such as silicone. The gasket is sleeved with the connecting shaft through a central hole, thereby clamping the gasket between the notch and the fastener. The center of the gasket has a central hole that fits the notch, which prevents the gasket from rotating relative to the connecting shaft, thus enabling the gasket to be used for anti-slip. At the same time, the locking element clamps between the gasket and the fastener, reducing the risk of the fastener loosening. The locking element can further improve the fastening effect of the fastener, further reduce the risk of the fastener unscrewing when the handle is rotated, and further improve the reliability and stability of the connection between the handle and the container body.

[0029] In this design, the locking element includes a break, and the locking element is capable of elastic deformation.

[0030] This design allows the locking element to elastically deform during the tightening process of the fasteners, thereby increasing friction and reducing the risk of the fasteners loosening during the rotation of the handle. This further improves the stability and reliability of the connection between the handle and the container body.

[0031] In this solution, the container body includes a container body and a container lid assembly. The container lid assembly includes a lid body assembly and a lid seat. The lid body assembly includes a locking tongue, and the lid seat includes an opening groove. The locking tongue can move radially along the container to engage or disengage the locking tongue and the opening groove.

[0032] In this design, the cover assembly also includes a second elastic element. The cover assembly is equipped with a locking tongue and a second elastic element, and the cover seat is provided with an opening groove so that the user can open the cover assembly with a single press, making it convenient for the user to use.

[0033] In this solution, the cover assembly includes a drain hole, a valve assembly, and a drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a drive member, a fixing member, and a rotating member. The drive member can move along the height direction of the container and drive the rotating member to rotate to engage or disengage with the fixing member, so that the valve assembly is maintained in an open or closed state for opening or blocking the drain hole.

[0034] This solution incorporates a drive component within the cover assembly, allowing users to activate and maintain the valve assembly in the open state with a single press of the drive mechanism, eliminating the need for continuous pressing and improving ease of use.

[0035] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0102] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0103] In one specific embodiment, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0104] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0105] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0106] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0107] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" described in the embodiments of this application are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.

[0108] This application provides a container 1, which includes a container body 11 and a handle 12, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the handle 12 can rotate relative to the container body 11 about an axis of rotation ( Figure 1 and Figure 3 (As shown by the horizontal dashed line) Rotation, the rotation axis extends radially along the container body 11. One of the handle 12 and the container body 11 is provided with a limiting member 1122A, and the other is provided with a mating part. The limiting member 1122A can be elastically deformed radially along the container 1 to limit or release the limiting engagement with the mating part, so as to lock or unlock the rotation state of the handle 12 relative to the container body 11 about the rotation axis.

[0109] Specifically, when a user needs to move container 1 from such a location... Figure 1 The usage status shown has been switched to, as shown Figure 2 or Figure 3 In the storage state shown, the user drives the handle 12 around the rotation axis toward the direction closer to the container body 11. Figure 1 (In the direction indicated by the middle arrow) the container 1 rotates. During the rotation, the limiting member 1122A can be elastically deformed radially along the container 1 to release the limiting member 1122A from the mating part. As the handle 12 continues to rotate, when the handle 12 moves to the position corresponding to the limiting member 1122A and another mating part, the limiting member 1122A elastically deforms radially along the container 1 under its own rebound force to limit the mating part to lock the rotation state of the handle 12 relative to the container body 11 around the rotation axis, so that the container 1 is in the storage state for easy storage.

[0110] When the user needs to move container 1 from, for example Figure 2 or Figure 3 The storage state shown has been switched to the following: Figure 1In the indicated usage state, the user drives the handle 12 about the rotation axis in a direction away from the container body 11. Figure 3 The handle 12 rotates in the direction indicated by the middle arrow. During the rotation, the limiting member 1122A can be elastically deformed along the radial direction of the container 1 to release the limiting member 1122A from the mating part. As the handle 12 continues to rotate, when the handle 12 moves to the position corresponding to the limiting member 1122A and another mating part, the limiting member 1122A is elastically deformed along the radial direction of the container 1 under its own rebound force to limit the mating part to lock the rotation state of the handle 12 relative to the container body 11 around the rotation axis, so that the container 1 is in the use state and it is convenient for the user to hold the handle 12.

[0111] By incorporating a limiting member 1122A and a mating part into the container 1, the limiting member 1122A automatically engages with or disengages from the mating part during the rotation of the handle 12 relative to the container body 111. This allows the container 1 to smoothly and quickly switch between its use and storage states. Therefore, compared to traditional storage handles that require pressing an unlock button to unlock, this application simplifies user operation and improves the convenience of using or storing the container 1. Furthermore, in both the use and storage states, the limiting member 1122A and the mating part restrict the handle 12 from continuing to rotate around the rotation axis, reducing the risk of accidental rotation relative to the container body 11 due to accidental touch of the handle 12. This improves the stability of the container 1 in different states and enhances user safety. Simultaneously, during the switching of the container 1's states, the handle 12 moves around a rotation axis extending radially along the container body 11, reducing the space occupied by the handle 12 during rotation and facilitating user operation.

[0112] It should be noted that the container 1 provided in the embodiments of this application can be a kettle, teapot, or other container 1.

[0113] In one possible implementation, such as Figures 5-7 and Figure 9 As shown, the mating part is a groove provided in the handle 12. The limiting member 1122A includes a limiting part 1122Aa and a first elastic member 1122Ab. One end of the first elastic member 1122Ab is connected to the limiting part 1122Aa, and the other end is directly or indirectly connected to the container body 11. The limiting part 1122Aa is used to limit the mating with the groove or to release the limiting mating.

[0114] In this embodiment, the limiting member 1122A is disposed on the container body 11. When the container 1 needs to be switched to the use state or the storage state, the handle 12 rotates and the mating part squeezes the limiting part 1122Aa, so that the first elastic member 1122Ab elastically deforms. Then, when the limiting part 1122Aa moves with the handle 12 to the position corresponding to another mating part, the limiting part 1122Aa moves radially toward the mating part of the container 1 under the rebound force of the first elastic member 1122Ab, so that the limiting part 1122Aa is located in the mating part which is a groove, so that the container 1 switches and maintains the current use state or storage state.

[0115] Therefore, by providing a limiting part 1122Aa and a first elastic member 1122Ab through the limiting member 1122A, the first elastic member 1122Ab elastically deforms during the rotation of the handle 12, so that the limiting part 1122Aa can automatically engage with or disengage from the mating part, improving the convenience for users to use or store the container 1. At the same time, the limiting part 1122Aa can be a top bead structure. By using a protruding top bead structure and a grooved mating part for limiting engagement, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the rotational state of the locking handle 12 relative to the container body 11 about the rotation axis, that is, to improve the reliability and stability of the container 1 in the use state and the storage state.

[0116] In addition, the limiting part 1122Aa is a top ball structure, and the mating part can be an arc-shaped groove, which helps to appropriately reduce the friction between the limiting part 1122Aa and the mating part, thereby appropriately reducing the difficulty for the user to drive the handle 12 to rotate around the rotation axis, improving the user experience, and at the same time helping to reduce the risk of wear between the limiting part 1122Aa and the mating part, and improving the service life of the container 1.

[0117] The following describes in detail an embodiment in which a limiting member 1122A is provided on the container body 11 and a mating part is provided on the handle 12.

[0118] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 , Figure 8 ,and Figure 9 As shown, the container body 11 includes a first mounting groove 1122B, and the limiting member 1122A also includes a body 1122Ac fixedly installed in the first mounting groove 1122B. The body 1122Ac has a receiving cavity, and the first elastic member 1122Ab is located in the receiving cavity and is connected to the container body 11 through the body 1122Ac.

[0119] In this embodiment, the body 1122Ac is fixedly installed in the first mounting groove 1122B to improve the reliability and stability of the limiting member 1122A installed in the container body 11. At the same time, the first elastic member 1122Ab is located in the receiving cavity to avoid the first elastic member 1122Ab being exposed, reducing the risk of damage or torsion of the first elastic member 1122Ab, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the limiting part 1122Aa moving radially along the container 1.

[0120] In one possible implementation, such as Figures 1-3 , Figure 7 ,and Figure 9 As shown, the container body 11 includes a container body 111 and a container lid assembly 112. Along the rotation direction of the handle 12, the mating part includes at least a first mating part 1211A and a second mating part 1211B that are spaced apart.

[0121] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, when the limiting part 1122Aa is in limiting engagement with the first mating part 1211A, that is, when the container 1 is in use, a portion of the handle 12 is located above the container cap assembly 112 along the height direction of the container 1, so that the handle 12 protrudes relative to the container body 11 along the height direction of the container 1, so that the user can hold the handle 12. For example, when the container 1 is a kettle, in use, the user can hold the structure of the handle 12 protruding relative to the container body 11 along the height direction of the container 1, so that the user can tilt the container 1 and pour out the liquid in the container 1 via the handle 12.

[0122] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, when the limiting part 1122Aa and the second mating part 1211B are in a limiting engagement, the container 1 is in a stored state, and the handle 12 is stored in the outer periphery of the container body 11. Even if the handle 12 no longer protrudes relative to the container body 11 along the height direction of the container 1, the space occupied by the container 1 is reduced, making it easier to store.

[0123] Therefore, by limiting the engagement of the limiting part 1122Aa with the first mating part 1211A or the second mating part 1211B, the container 1 can be maintained in different states, thereby meeting different user requirements and improving the user experience. Simultaneously, the limiting engagement of the limiting part 1122Aa with the first mating part 1211A or the second mating part 1211B improves the reliability and stability of the container 1 in both its usage and storage states.

[0124] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the handle 12 can be vertically positioned relative to the container body 11, that is, the axial direction of the handle 12 is parallel to the height direction of the container 1.

[0125] In one possible implementation, such as Figures 1-3 , Figure 7 ,and Figure 9 As shown, the second mating part 1211B includes a first groove 1211Ba and a second groove 1211Bb. Along the rotation direction of the handle 12, the first groove 1211Ba is located between the first mating part 1211A and the second groove 1211Bb.

[0126] Specifically, the storage state of container 1 may include a first storage state and a second storage state, wherein the position of handle 12 in the first storage state is closer to the position of handle 12 in the use state than the position of handle 12 in the second storage state.

[0127] When the limiting part 1122Aa is engaged with the first groove 1211Ba, the container 1 is in the first storage state, and the handle 12 is stored in the outer periphery of the container cap assembly 112. When the limiting part 1122Aa is engaged with the second groove 1211Bb, the container 1 is in the second storage state, and the handle 12 is stored in the outer periphery of the container body 111.

[0128] Therefore, in the first stored state, the handle 12 is stored around the outer periphery of the container lid assembly 112, allowing the user to open the lid assembly 1121 located in the central area of ​​the container lid assembly 112, thus facilitating the user's brewing of tea bags and improving the user experience. In the second stored state, the handle 12 can be stored around the outer periphery of the container body 111 parallel to the radial direction of the container body 111. Even when the cross-section of the outer wall of the curved handle 12 is approximately parallel to the plane containing the outer wall of the container body 111 along the radial direction of the container body 111, the handle 12 can cover at least a portion of the outer periphery of the container body 111. That is, in this state, compared to the first stored state, the container 1 occupies less volume space, making it easier to store and saving storage space. At the same time, the limiting part 1122Aa and the first groove 1211Ba limit the container 1 to have the first stored state, so that after brewing, the user can switch to the use state by driving the handle 12 to rotate a relatively small stroke, further improving the user experience.

[0129] In one possible implementation, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the angle between the first mating part 1211A and the second mating part 1211B along the rotation direction of the handle 12 satisfies: 90°≤θ≤145°.

[0130] In this embodiment, when the handle 12 is switched from the use state to the storage state, or when the handle 12 is switched from the storage state to the use state, the rotation angle θ of the handle 12 satisfies: 90°≤θ≤145°, that is, the angle of the central angle formed between the first mating part 1211A and the second mating part 1211B is θ, so that the angle of rotation of the handle 12 around the rotation axis is moderate. When the handle 12 is switched to the storage state, the risk of the handle 12 obstructing the user from opening the cover assembly 1121 is reduced, and the user experience is improved. At the same time, the risk of the handle 12 having a large movement stroke when switching to the use state is reduced, making it easier for the user to drive the switch.

[0131] Optionally, the rotation angle θ of the handle 12 satisfies: 90°≤θ≤145°. The value of θ can be 90°, 95°, 100°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 131°, 135°, 140°, 145°, etc., or other values ​​within the above range. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0132] In one possible implementation, the handle 12 in the first stored state can be horizontally positioned, i.e., the axis of the handle 12 is perpendicular to the height direction of the container 1, so that the angle between the handle 12 in the first stored state and the handle 12 in the used state can be 90 degrees. Furthermore, the angle between the handle 12 in the second stored state and the handle 12 in the used state can be 131 degrees.

[0133] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the handle 12 also includes a protrusion 1213, and the container body 11 also includes a groove 1122C, which includes a first limiting wall 1122Ca and a second limiting wall 1122Cb.

[0134] In this embodiment, the protrusion 1213 includes a first abutting wall 1213A and a second abutting wall 1213B. When the limiting part 1122Aa is engaged with the first mating part 1211A, i.e., the container 1 is in use, the first limiting wall 1122Aa abuts against the first abutting wall 1213A of the protrusion 1213 along the rotation direction of the handle 12. When the limiting part 1122Aa is engaged with the second groove 1211Bb, i.e., the container 1 is in a second storage state, the second limiting wall 1122Cb abuts against the second abutting wall 1213B of the protrusion 1213 along the rotation direction of the handle 12.

[0135] Therefore, through the combined action of the first limiting wall 1122Ca abutting against the first abutting wall 1213A and the limiting part 1122Aa and the first mating part 1211A engaging, the stability of the container 1 in the use state is improved, and the safety of the user holding the handle 12 is enhanced. Through the combined action of the second limiting wall 1122Cb abutting against the second abutting wall 1213B and the limiting part 1122Aa and the second groove 1211Bb engaging, the reliability and stability of the container 1 in the second storage state are improved. Simultaneously, along the rotation direction of the handle 12, through the abutting of the first limiting wall 1122Ca against the first abutting wall 1213A and the abutting of the second limiting wall 1122Cb against the second abutting wall 1213B, the risk of over-rotation of the handle 12 is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the handle 12 and extending the service life of the container 1.

[0136] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the protrusion 1213 and the slide 1122C are arc-shaped structures, and the central angle of the slide 1122C is larger than the central angle of the protrusion 1213, so that the protrusion 1213 can rotate along the slide 1122C, thereby improving the feasibility and reliability of the container 1 being able to switch to different states.

[0137] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the container 1 also includes a fastener 13, a gasket 14 and a locking member 15. The container body 11 includes a connecting shaft 1122D extending radially along the container 1. The handle 12 includes a connecting post 121 protruding toward the container body 11. The connecting post 121 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 1122D. The connecting post 121 and the connecting shaft 1122D are rotatably connected by the fastener 13.

[0138] The connecting shaft 1122D is provided with a notch 1122Da, and the gasket 14 has a center hole 141 that is irregularly matched with the notch 1122Da. The gasket 14 is between the notch 1122Da and the locking member 15, and the locking member 15 is clamped between the gasket 14 and the fastener 13, so that the gasket 14 and the locking member 15 are relatively fixed to the connecting shaft 1122D during the rotation of the handle 12.

[0139] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting shaft 1122D includes a first through hole 1122Db, the connecting post 121 includes a second through hole 1212, and the fastener 13 passes through the second through hole 1212 and the first through hole 1122Db in sequence, so that the container body 11 is rotatably connected to the handle 12. The fastener 13 can be a self-tapping screw.

[0140] In this embodiment, both the gasket 14 and the locking member 15 can be made of anti-slip materials such as silicone. The gasket 14 is sleeved with the connecting shaft 1122D through the central hole 141, thereby clamping the gasket 14 between the notch 1122Da and the fastener 13. The center of the gasket 14 has a central hole 141 that is irregularly matched with the notch 1122Da, which can prevent the gasket 14 from rotating relative to the connecting shaft 1122D, so that the gasket 14 can be used for anti-slip. At the same time, the locking member 15 is clamped between the gasket 14 and the fastener 13, reducing the risk of the fastener 13 becoming loose. The locking member 15 can further improve the fastening effect of the fastener 13, further reduce the risk that the fastener 13 will unscrew when the handle 12 is rotated, and further improve the reliability and stability of the connection between the handle 12 and the container body 11.

[0141] In one possible implementation, the diameter of the first through hole 1122Db is smaller than the diameter of the screw of the fastener 13. The nut abuts against the second through hole 1212. The thread on the screw is screwed into the first through hole 1122Db, which has a smaller diameter and no internal thread, so that the handle 12 is connected to the container body 11. This reduces the risk of the fastener 13 unscrewing when the handle 12 is rotated, and further improves the reliability and stability of the connection between the handle 12 and the container body 11.

[0142] In one possible implementation, Figure 11 As shown, the locking member 15 includes a break 151, and the locking member 15 is elastically deformable.

[0143] In this embodiment, during the tightening of the fastener 13, the locking member 15 can elastically deform to lock the fastener 13, thereby increasing friction and reducing the risk of the fastener 13 loosening during the rotation of the handle 12, further improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the handle 12 and the container body 11.

[0144] In addition, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, container 1 also includes a protective cover 16, which is snapped into the handle 12. The protective cover 16 is used to block the second through hole 1212 and protect the fastener 13, while also improving the aesthetics of container 1.

[0145] In one possible implementation, Figures 12-14 As shown, the container lid assembly 112 includes a lid body assembly 1121 and a lid seat 1122. The lid body assembly 1121 includes a locking tongue 1121Aa, and the lid seat 1122 includes an opening groove 1122E. The locking tongue 1121Aa can move radially along the container 1 to engage or disengage the locking tongue 1121Aa and the opening groove 1122E.

[0146] Specifically, the lid assembly 1121 also includes two pressing parts 1121Ac and two locking tongues 1121Aa. The pressing parts 1121Ac are fixedly connected to the locking tongues 1121Aa. A second elastic element 1121B is provided between the two pressing parts 1121Ac. When it is necessary to remove the lid assembly 1121 from the lid seat 1122, the user presses the pressing part 1121Ac, so that the pressing part 1121Ac drives the locking tongue 1121Aa to move radially along the container 1 and disengage from the opening groove 1122E, thereby allowing the lid assembly 1121 to be removed from the lid seat 1122 for the user to brew, etc. When the cover assembly 1121 needs to be installed on the cover seat 1122, the user presses the pressing part 1121Ac, the second elastic element 1121B elastically deforms, and then the cover assembly 1121 is placed in the installation position of the cover seat 1122. The pressing part 1121Ac is released, and the locking tongue 1121Aa moves radially along the container 1 and extends into the opening groove 1122E under the action of the elastic rebound force of the second elastic element 1121B, so that the cover assembly 1121 can be quickly installed on the cover seat 1122.

[0147] Therefore, by providing a locking tongue 1121Aa and a second elastic element 1121B in the cover assembly 1121, and providing an opening groove 1122E in the cover seat 1122, the user can open the cover assembly 1121 with a single press, making it convenient for the user to use.

[0148] In one possible implementation, the connecting shaft 1122D can be disposed on the cover 1122 so that the handle 12 is rotatably connected to the cover 1122.

[0149] In one possible implementation, Figure 13 and Figures 15-17 As shown, the cover assembly 1121 includes a drain hole 1121Ab, a valve assembly 1123, and a drive assembly 1124. The drive assembly 1124 includes a drive member 1124A, a fixing member 1124B, and a rotating member 1124C. The drive member 1124A can move along the height direction of the container 1, driving the rotating member 1124C to rotate to engage or disengage with the fixing member 1124B, so that the valve assembly 1123 is maintained in an open or closed state for opening or blocking the drain hole 1121Ab.

[0150] Specifically, the fixing member 1124B also includes a clearance opening 1124Bb, and the valve assembly 1123 includes a valve disc 1123B, a third elastic member 1121C, a valve stem 1123A, and a sealing portion 1123C. The valve disc 1123B is used to block the drain hole 1121Ab, and the third elastic member 1121C is sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve stem 1123A. The driving member 1124A includes a first tooth 1124Aa, the rotating member 1124C includes a second tooth 1124Ba, and the fixing member 1124B includes a third tooth 1124Ca. The first tooth 1124Aa and the second tooth 1124Ba can slide in engagement.

[0151] When container 1 needs to discharge water, pressing the drive member 1124A causes it to move towards the container body 111 along the height direction of container 1. The sealing part 1123C first disengages from the valve disc 1123B to release air. Then, the drive member 1124A drives the rotating member 1124C, valve stem 1123A, and valve disc 1123B to move towards the container body 111, so that the valve disc 1123B no longer blocks the drain hole 1121Ab. Simultaneously, the inclined surface of the first tooth 1124Aa slides into the inclined surface of the second tooth 1124Ba, and under the action of the third elastic member 1121C, the rotating member 1124C rotates relative to the fixed member 1124B, thereby causing the second tooth 1124Ba to engage with the third tooth 1124Ca, so that the drive assembly 1124 moves to the desired position. Figure 16 The state shown is to limit the rotation of the rotating member 1124C so that the valve disc 1123B can be kept in the open state.

[0152] When container 1 does not need to dispense water, pressing the drive member 1124A again causes the drive member 1124A and the rotating member 1124C to move away from the container body 111 along the height direction of container 1 under the action of the third elastic member 1121C. This also causes the valve stem 1123A and valve disc 1123B to move away from the container body 111 along the height direction of container 1. Simultaneously, the inclined surface of the second tooth 1124Ba slides into contact with the inclined surface of the third tooth 1124Ca, causing the rotating member 1124C to rotate relative to the fixed member 1124B. This disengages the second tooth 1124Ba from the third tooth 1124Ca, allowing the second tooth 1124Ba of the rotating member 1124C to rotate to the clearance opening 1124Bb. This allows the drive assembly 1124 to move to the position described above. Figure 17 The state shown restricts the rotation of the rotating member 1124C so that the valve disc 1123B can block the drain hole 1121Ab, thereby keeping the valve disc 1123B in the closed state.

[0153] Therefore, the cover assembly 1121 is provided with a drive assembly 1124 so that the user can put the valve disc 1123B in the open state by pressing the drive component 1124A once, without the user having to press to release water, thus improving the convenience of use.

[0154] It should be noted that the structure and working process of the drive component 1124 are the same as those of a press-type ballpoint pen, and will not be described in detail here.

Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of this application should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
