Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to a cup lid assembly and a cup. Background Technology

[0002] The lid is a key component of cups (such as thermos cups, coffee cups, water cups, etc.). Its main functions are to seal the mouth of the cup, prevent liquid from spilling, maintain the temperature of the beverage, isolate external contamination, and provide a convenient way to drink.

[0003] In related technologies, to prevent accidental opening and liquid spillage, many cup lids employ a push-button opening structure with a locking mechanism. This structure typically includes a pressable push button (or button, lever, etc.) and a locking mechanism connected to the lid body. The user needs to press the push button while applying a certain force upwards (or outwards) to lift the entire lid from the rim of the cup, which unlocks the locking mechanism and opens the lid. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a cup lid assembly and a cup, which aims to improve the ease of unlocking the cup lid.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a cup lid assembly for use in cups, the cup lid assembly comprising: a lid plate, a lid body, and a locking component; wherein...

[0006] The lid is used to fix it to the cup body, and the lid is provided with a water outlet for communicating with the cup body;

[0007] The cover plate is hinged to the cover body, and when the cover plate rotates to the first set position, the cover plate blocks the water outlet hole;

[0008] The locking assembly includes a first engaging member and a second engaging member that engage with each other. The first engaging member is fixed to the cover body, and the second engaging member is slidably assembled to the cover plate and can rotate synchronously with the cover plate. When the second engaging member slides to a second set position, the second engaging member disengages from the first engaging member and is separated by a set distance.

[0009] The locking assembly further includes a first elastic element and a guide block. The first elastic element is used to push the second engaging element to engage with the first engaging element. The guide block is fixed to the cover and is used to guide the engaging surfaces of the second engaging element and the first engaging element to misalign after the second engaging element and the first engaging element are disengaged.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the guide block can guide the engagement surfaces of the first engagement piece and the second engagement piece to misalign. After the engagement surfaces of the first engagement piece and the second engagement piece are misaligned, the first elastic element pushes the second engagement piece back to its original position, and the second engagement piece will not re-engage with the first engagement piece. Therefore, the user only needs to perform a single action of pushing the second engagement piece to disengage from the first engagement piece to unlock the lid, thus improving the ease of unlocking the cup lid.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the guide block has a guide surface toward the first engaging member, the guide surface being used to abut against the second engaging member and guide the second engaging member to be misaligned with the engaging surface of the first engaging member;

[0012] The guide surface is an inclined surface or an arc surface.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the lid has a first surface that is opposite to the cup body and substantially parallel to the rim plane of the cup, and the water outlet is formed on the first surface.

[0014] The cover also includes an annular wall fixed to the first surface, the water outlet is surrounded inside the annular wall, and there is a certain distance between the annular wall and the edge of the first surface;

[0015] The first engaging component and the guide block are respectively fixed to the first surface, and the first engaging component and the guide block are respectively fixedly connected to the outer side of the annular wall.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the guide surface is an inclined surface, and the angle between the guide surface and the first surface is greater than or equal to 10° and less than or equal to 50°.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the first engaging member has a first engaging surface, and the second engaging member has a second engaging surface that engages with the first engaging surface.

[0018] The end face of the first engaging member that is opposite to the first engaging surface is a first wedge surface; and / or, the end face of the second engaging member that is opposite to the second engaging surface is a second wedge surface.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the end of the cover plate that is hinged to the cover body is the hinge end;

[0020] The second engaging member is disposed on the side of the cover plate away from the hinge end.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the cup lid assembly further includes a second elastic member, the two ends of which abut against the cover plate and the cover body respectively, and are used to drive the cover plate to rotate away from the water outlet.

[0022] In one possible implementation, there are two of each of the first and second engaging members, with the two second engaging members respectively disposed on opposite sides of the water outlet.

[0023] The locking assembly further includes a connecting beam that is slidably connected to the cover, and the two second locking members are fixedly connected through the connecting beam.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the cover plate has a groove along the sliding direction of the second engaging member, and the connecting beam is slidably disposed in the groove;

[0025] When the second engaging member slides toward the first engaging member until the first engaging member and the second engaging member engage, the connecting beam abuts against one end of the sliding groove;

[0026] When the second engaging member slides away from the first engaging member until it disengages from the first engaging member, and the second engaging member is at a distance from the first engaging member from the predetermined interval, the connecting beam abuts against the other end of the sliding groove.

[0027] Secondly, this application provides a cup, including a cup body and any of the cup lid assemblies described above;

[0028] The lid assembly is fixed to the mouth of the cup body.

[0029] In the cup of the above technical solution, the guide block of the cup lid assembly can guide the engagement surfaces of the first engagement component and the second engagement component to misalign. After the engagement surfaces of the first engagement component and the second engagement component misalign, and after the first elastic element pushes the second engagement component back into place, the second engagement component will not re-engage with the first engagement component. Therefore, the user only needs to perform a single action of pushing the second engagement component to disengage from the first engagement component to unlock the lid, thus improving the ease of unlocking the cup lid.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] To facilitate understanding of the cup lid assembly, or cup, provided in this application embodiment, its application scenario will be explained first. The cup lid assembly provided in this application embodiment can be applied to cups, specifically for sealing the mouth of the cup.

[0039] The lid is a key component of cups (such as insulated cups, coffee cups, and water cups). Its main functions are to seal the opening, prevent liquid from spilling, maintain the temperature of the beverage, isolate it from external contamination, and provide a convenient way to drink. With the accelerating pace of life and consumers' increasing demands for convenience, the design of cup lids is constantly evolving to provide a simpler and more reliable opening and closing experience.

[0040] In related technologies, to prevent accidental opening and liquid spillage, many cup lids employ a push-button opening mechanism with a locking mechanism. This structure typically includes a pressable push button (or button, lever, etc.) and a locking mechanism connected to the lid body. The user needs to press the push button while applying upward (or outward) force to lift the entire lid from the rim of the cup to unlock the locking mechanism and open the lid. This design improves the safety of the lid during carrying or transportation to some extent, preventing accidental opening due to bumps or impacts.

[0041] However, this existing method of opening the cup lid presents significant operational inconveniences. Users must simultaneously perform two actions: continuously pressing the push button and lifting the lid upwards. This makes opening the lid relatively complex, requiring coordinated use of both hands, or making one-handed operation difficult. More importantly, if the push button is not lifted sufficiently before being released, the locking mechanism immediately re-locks, preventing the lid from opening. The user must then repeat the "press and lift" operation, which not only increases the steps and time required but also reduces ease of use. This is especially problematic when the user's hands are wet, they are wearing gloves, or their movements are not coordinated, easily leading to operational failures and the lid remaining unopenable, causing inconvenience.

[0042] Based on this, this application provides a cup lid assembly and a cup, aiming to improve the ease of unlocking the cup lid. The cup lid assembly provided in the embodiments of this application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Please refer to the above. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall cup lid assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the sliding path of the second locking component in an embodiment of this application. The cup lid assembly provided in this embodiment includes a lid plate 1, a lid body 2, and a locking component. The lid body 2 is used to fix it to the cup body, and the lid body 2 is provided with a water outlet 21 for communicating with the cup body; the lid plate 1 and the lid body 2 are hinged, and when the lid plate 1 rotates to a first set position, the lid plate 1 blocks the water outlet 21; the locking component is used to lock the lid plate 1 and the lid body 2 together when the lid plate 1 rotates to the first set position, and the user can unlock the locking component to unlock the lid plate 1 relative to the lid body 2.

[0044] Specifically, the locking assembly includes a first engaging member 31 and a second engaging member 32 that engage with each other. The first engaging member 31 is fixed to the cover body 2, and the second engaging member 32 is slidably assembled to the cover plate 1 and can rotate synchronously with the cover plate 1. When the cover plate 1 rotates to a first predetermined position, the first engaging member 31 and the second engaging member 32 can engage with each other to lock the cover plate 1 and the cover body 2 together.

[0045] The first engaging member 31 has a first engaging surface 311, and the second engaging member 32 has a second engaging surface 321. When the first engaging member 31 and the second engaging member 32 are engaged, the second engaging surface 321 is located on the side of the first engaging surface 311 away from the cover plate 1, and the first engaging surface 311 and the second engaging surface 321 abut against each other. The abutment between the second engaging surface 321 and the first engaging surface 311 can prevent the second engaging member 32 from moving away from the cover plate 2 relative to the first engaging member 31, thereby preventing the cover plate 1 from rotating away from the cover plate 2, and thus locking the cover plate 1 when blocking the water outlet.

[0046] When the second engaging member 32 slides to the second predetermined position, it disengages from the first engaging member 31 and remains at a predetermined distance. Specifically, when the first engaging surface 311 and the second engaging surface 321 are in contact with each other, that is, when the first engaging member 31 and the second engaging member 32 are engaged, the second engaging member 32 can still slide along the plane of the first engaging surface 311 or the second engaging surface 321 under the push of the user. The second engaging member 32 slides to the second predetermined position, specifically along the plane of the first engaging surface 311 or the second engaging surface 321. When the second engaging surface 321 slides to the point where it disengages from the first engaging surface 311, the second engaging member 32 disengages from the first engaging member 31. Furthermore, when the second locking member 32 is spaced a set distance from the first locking member 31, the second locking member 32 can rotate with the cover plate 1 and is no longer restricted by the locking of the first locking member 31. Thus, the user can rotate the cover plate 1 in a direction away from the cover body 2 to release the cover plate 1 from the blockage of the water outlet 21, so that the liquid in the cup can be poured out through the water outlet 21.

[0047] In the specific setting of the locking component, the locking component also includes a first elastic element 34 and a guide block 33. The first elastic element 34 is used to push the second engaging element 32 to engage with the first engaging element 31; the guide block 33 is fixed to the cover 2 and is used to guide the engaging surfaces of the second engaging element 32 and the first engaging element 31 to misalign after the second engaging element 32 and the first engaging element 31 are disengaged.

[0048] Specifically, the first elastic element 34 acts between the second engaging element 32 and the cover plate 1, and is used to push the second engaging element 32 to slide towards the first engaging element 31. In this way, when the second engaging surface 321 is located on the side of the first engaging surface 311 away from the cover plate 1, the first elastic element 34 can push the second engaging element 32 to slide towards the first engaging element 31 until the second engaging surfaces 321 overlap and abut against each other, so that the second engaging element 32 and the first engaging element 31 are mutually engaged.

[0049] refer to Figure 2The movement path of the second engaging member 32, indicated by the middle arrow, is as follows: When the second engaging member 32 is engaged with the first engaging member 31, pushing the second engaging member 32 causes it to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 34 and slide to the second set position. Then, it continues to be pushed away from the first engaging member 31. After the second engaging member 32 disengages from the first engaging member 31, it continues to slide and comes into contact with the guide block 33. Guided by the guide block 33, the second engaging member 32 gradually rises as it moves away from the first engaging member 31. The second engaging surface 321 gradually rises from the side of the first engaging surface 311 away from the cover plate 1 to the side of the first engaging surface 311 facing the cover plate 1. This allows the cover plate 1 to rotate by a certain angle, thus achieving misalignment of the engaging surfaces of the first engaging member 31 and the second engaging member 32.

[0050] After the engagement surfaces of the first engagement piece 31 and the second engagement piece 32 are misaligned, even if the user stops pushing the second engagement piece 32, the second engagement piece 32 will be pushed back into place by the first elastic member 34. Since the cover plate 1 has rotated a certain angle, the second engagement piece 32 and the first engagement piece 31 cannot be restored to the state of mutual engagement.

[0051] In summary, the cup lid assembly provided in this application embodiment is equipped with a guide block 33 to guide the misalignment of the engaging surfaces of the first engaging member 31 and the second engaging member 32. The user only needs to perform a single action of pushing the second engaging member 32 to disengage from the first engaging member 31 to unlock the lid 1. Compared with the related technology, which requires the user to push the push button while rotating the lid 2 upwards and use two actions to unlock the lid 1, the cup lid assembly provided in this application embodiment only requires the user to push the second engaging member 32 to slide to unlock the lid 1, thus improving the convenience of unlocking the cup lid.

[0052] In addition, in the case of cup lids in the prior art, if the user fails to rotate the lid 2 in time after pushing the push button, the cup lid may return to the locked state after the user stops pushing the push button; however, in the cup lid assembly of this application embodiment, after the first elastic member 34 pushes the second locking member 32 back into position after the locking surfaces of the first locking member 31 and the second locking member 32 are misaligned, the second locking member 32 will not re-engage with the first locking member 31, reducing the risk of unlocking failure due to improper user operation and further improving the ease of unlocking the cup lid.

[0053] As an optional implementation, the guide block 33 has a guide surface 331 facing the first engaging member 31. The guide surface 331 is used to abut against the second engaging member 32 and guide the engaging surfaces of the second engaging member 32 and the first engaging member 31 to be misaligned. The guide surface 331 is either a sloped surface or an arc-shaped surface. Specifically, regardless of whether the guide surface 331 is a sloped surface or an arc-shaped surface, the guide surface 331 extends gradually away from the cover 2 in a direction away from the first engaging member 31. When the guide block 33 guides the engaging surfaces of the second engaging member 32 and the first engaging member 31 to be misaligned, the second engaging member 32 abuts against the guide surface 331. Thus, as the second engaging member 32 gradually slides away from the first engaging member 31, the second engaging member 32 is gradually lifted in a direction away from the cover 2 under the guidance of the guide surface 331, thereby realizing the misalignment of the first engaging surface 311 and the second engaging surface 321. By setting the guide surface 331 as an inclined or curved surface, the second locking member 32 can be smoothly and gradually lifted during the sliding process in the direction away from the second locking member 32, reducing the risk of jamming during the lifting process of the second locking member 32.

[0054] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the cover in an embodiment of this application.

[0055] As an optional implementation, the lid 2 has a first surface 22, which is opposite to the cup body and substantially parallel to the rim plane of the cup. A water outlet 21 is formed on the first surface 22. The lid 2 also includes an annular wall 23 fixed to the first surface 22, with the water outlet 21 surrounded inside the annular wall 23. There is a certain gap between the annular wall 23 and the edge of the first surface 22.

[0056] The first engaging member 31 and the guide block 33 are respectively fixed to the first surface 22, and the first engaging member 31 and the guide block 33 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer side of the annular wall 23. Specifically, the annular wall 23 is disposed on the inner side of the first surface 22, so there is a certain gap between the annular wall 23 and the edge of the first surface 22. In essence, there is a certain gap between the annular wall 23 and the outer edge of the first surface 22. In this way, a platform similar to a shoulder is formed between the annular wall 23 and the edge of the first surface 22, and the first engaging member 31 and the guide block 33 are respectively fixed on this platform.

[0057] This design serves two purposes. First, the annular wall 23 surrounding the water outlet 21 restricts the flow direction of the liquid when pouring water through the outlet 21, making it easier for the user to pour or drink the liquid directly. Optionally, a beak-like structure can be added to the annular wall 23 to further guide the flow of the liquid. Second, the annular wall 23 separates the first locking member 31, the guide block 33, and the water outlet 21, helping to maintain the hygiene of the water outlet 21 and reducing the risk of liquid remaining on the first locking member 31 and the guide block 33 when poured out, thus facilitating the hygiene of the cup lid assembly.

[0058] As an alternative implementation method, continue to refer to Figure 2 The guide surface 331 is an inclined surface, and the angle between the guide surface 331 and the first surface 22 is greater than or equal to 10° and less than or equal to 50°. Specifically, the angle between the guide surface 331 and the first surface 22 refers to the acute angle formed between the side of the guide surface 331 facing away from the first engaging member 31 and the first surface 22. Figure 3 The symbol is α. Specifically, the angle between the guide surface 331 and the first surface 22 can be 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, etc.

[0059] If the angle between the guide surface 331 and the first surface 22 is too large, the normal pressure when the guide surface 331 abuts against the second engaging member 32 will be too great, thereby increasing the friction between the second engaging member 32 and the guide surface 331. This can easily cause the second engaging member 32 to get stuck during its sliding relative to the guide surface 331. In fact, if the second engaging member 32 and the guide surface 331 self-lock, they may even lock together, preventing the second engaging member 32 from being pushed. Conversely, if the angle between the guide surface 331 and the first surface 22 is too small, the second engaging member 32 will need to slide a longer distance relative to the guide surface 331 to achieve misalignment between the engaging surfaces of the second engaging member 32 and the first engaging member 31, thus reducing the convenience of the unlocking operation.

[0060] By setting the included angle between the guide surface 331 and the first surface 22 within the aforementioned range, the risk of jamming during the sliding of the second engaging member 32 relative to the guide surface 331 can be reduced. At the same time, the sliding stroke of the second engaging member 32 relative to the guide surface 331 can be appropriately shortened, thereby improving the convenience of the unlocking operation.

[0061] As an optional implementation, when specifically configuring the first engaging member 31 and the second engaging member 32, the end face of the first engaging member 31 facing away from the first engaging surface 311 is a first wedge surface 312; and / or, the end face of the second engaging member 32 facing away from the second engaging surface 321 is a second wedge surface 322. Here, "and / or" means that either the end face of the first engaging member 31 facing away from the first engaging surface 311 or the end face of the second engaging member 32 facing away from the second engaging surface 321 can be a wedge surface, or both can be wedge surfaces simultaneously. Furthermore, both the first wedge surface 312 and the second wedge surface 322 are configured such that when the end face of the first engaging member 31 facing away from the first engaging surface 311 and the end face of the second engaging member 32 facing away from the second engaging surface 321 abut against each other and the first engaging member 31 and the second engaging member 32 move relative to each other, both the first wedge surface 312 and the second wedge surface 322 can guide the second engaging member 32 to slide away from the first engaging member 31 along the plane direction of the second engaging surface 321.

[0062] It is worth noting that the second locking component 32 moves relative to the first locking component 31, that is, the second locking component 32 moves toward the direction where the first locking component 31 is located.

[0063] Please refer to the above. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the function of the first wedge surface 312 and the second wedge surface 322 in the embodiments of this application. Figure 4 The dashed line with arrows in the middle indicates the movement trajectory of the second locking component 32 during the locking process.

[0064] When the first card assembly 31 and the second card assembly 32 are in the unlocked state, the user presses the cover plate 1 toward the cover body 2, and the second card assembly 32 also moves with the cover plate 1 toward the cover body 2 until the second card assembly 32 and the first card assembly 31 come into contact with each other. At this time, the second engaging member 32 and the first engaging member 31 abut against each other. In essence, the end face of the first engaging member 31 facing away from the first engaging surface 311 and the end face of the second engaging member 32 facing away from the second engaging surface 321 abut against each other. When at least one of the two end faces is a wedge face, the first wedge face 312 and the second wedge face 322 can guide the second engaging member 32 to slide away from the first engaging member 31 until it slides to the side of the first engaging surface 311 facing the cover 2. Then, the first elastic member 34 can push the second engaging member 32 to slide towards the first engaging member 31, thereby realizing the mutual engagement of the second engaging member 32 and the first engaging member 31.

[0065] By setting the first wedge surface 312 and / or the second wedge surface 322, the user can lock the lid 1 by simply pressing it in the direction of the lid body 2, which improves the ease of use of the cup lid assembly.

[0066] As an optional implementation, the end of the cover plate 1 that is hinged to the cover body 2 is the hinge end; the second engaging member 32 is disposed on the side of the cover plate 1 away from the hinge end.

[0067] In a specific example, the overall shape of the cover plate 1 is approximately circular, with the hinge end located at the edge of the circle. A diameter of the circular cover plate 1 connects the hinge end and the center of the circle. The endpoint of this diameter opposite to the hinge end is the end of the circular cover plate 1 away from the hinge end. For ease of description, this end is referred to as the first end. Dividing the circle with the center of the circular cover plate 1, the second engaging member 32 is disposed between the center and the first end, that is, the second engaging member 32 is disposed on the side of the cover plate 1 away from the hinge end.

[0068] When the cover plate 1 is locked relative to the cover body 2, and the second engaging member 32 and the first engaging member 31 are engaged with each other, the cover plate 1 and the cover body 2 can be regarded as a lever structure. The first engaging member 31 applies force to the cover plate 1 through the second engaging member 32, so that the cover plate 1 is held in the first set position. The fulcrum of this lever structure is the hinge point where the cover plate 1 and the cover body 2 are hinged. By placing the second engaging member 32 on the side of the cover plate 1 away from the hinge end, the lever arm of the first engaging member 31 applying force to the cover plate 1 can be increased, thereby making the lever structure formed by the cover plate 1 and the cover body 2 more stable when the cover plate 1 is locked in the first set position, and improving the locking strength of the cover plate 1 and the cover body 2.

[0069] As an optional implementation, the cup lid assembly further includes a second elastic element, the two ends of which abut against the cover plate 1 and the cover body 2 respectively, and are used to drive the cover plate 1 to rotate in a direction away from the water outlet. The second elastic element can specifically be a torsion spring, a compression spring, etc.

[0070] By setting a second elastic element, after the user pushes the second locking element 32 to release the second locking element 32 from the first locking element 31, the cover plate 1 can automatically pop up relative to the cover body 2 under the action of the second elastic element, which further improves the ease of use of the cup lid assembly.

[0071] As an optional implementation, when specifically setting the locking component, there are two first locking members 31 and two second locking members 32, and the two second locking members 32 are respectively set on opposite sides of the water outlet 21; the locking component also includes a connecting beam 35, which is slidably connected to the cover 2, and the two second locking members 32 are fixedly connected through the connecting beam 35.

[0072] This design allows the locking assembly to simultaneously lock both sides of the water outlet 21, further enhancing the locking strength. Simultaneously, the connecting beam 35 connects the two second locking pieces 32; by pushing the connecting beam 35, the two second locking pieces 32 slide synchronously, simplifying the unlocking operation and improving the ease of unlocking the cup lid assembly.

[0073] As an optional implementation, the cover plate 1 has a groove 11 along the sliding direction of the second engaging member 32, and the connecting beam 35 is slidably disposed in the groove 11. When the second engaging member 32 slides toward the first engaging member 31 until the first engaging member 31 engages with the second engaging member 32, one end of the connecting beam 35 abuts against the groove 11. When the second engaging member 32 slides away from the first engaging member 31 until it disengages from the first engaging member 31, and the distance between the second engaging member 32 and the first engaging member 31 is spaced at a predetermined distance, the other end of the connecting beam 35 abuts against the opposite end of the groove 11. By providing the groove 11, the extreme position of the second engaging member 32 in its sliding direction relative to the cover plate 1 can be limited, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the locking assembly due to excessive force exerted by the user on the connecting beam 35.

[0074] Please refer to the above. Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the push button in an embodiment of this application. Optionally, when specifically setting the cup lid, the locking component can be covered by the lid plate 1 itself on the side of the lid plate 1 facing the lid body 2, and a push button 5 can be set on the side of the lid plate 1 away from the lid body 2. The push button 5 is used to drive the connecting beam 35 to slide, so that the user can unlock the lid plate 1 relative to the lid body 2 by pushing the push button 5. This setting can make the appearance of the cup lid assembly neater, and can also shield and protect the locking component, reducing the risk of damage to the locking component from bumps.

[0075] This application also provides a cup, including a cup body and any of the cup lid assemblies described above; the cup lid assembly is fixed to the rim of the cup body. Specifically, the cup lid assembly can be fixed to the rim of the cup body by various methods such as snap-fit ​​or threaded connection.

[0076] In the cup of the above technical solution, the guide block of the cup lid assembly can guide the engagement surfaces of the first engagement component and the second engagement component to misalign. After the engagement surfaces of the first engagement component and the second engagement component are misaligned, the first elastic component pushes the second engagement component back into place, and the second engagement component will not re-engage with the first engagement component. Therefore, the user only needs to perform a single action of pushing the second engagement component to disengage from the first engagement component to unlock the lid, thus improving the ease of unlocking the cup lid.

[0077] One or more embodiments of this specification are intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of one or more embodiments of this specification should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0078] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
