Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle cap technology, specifically to a hybrid circulating anti-counterfeiting bottle cap. Background Technology

[0002] Most beverages are already mixed liquids, but it is difficult to achieve aseptic operation during the extraction and preparation of raw materials. Therefore, the beverages need to be boiled, preservatives added, and ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization at the final bottling stage. After the above treatment, the nutritional components of the raw materials are greatly destroyed. For example, green tea beverages that have been boiled at high temperature have completely lost the original color, aroma, taste and nutrients of the tea. They can only be improved with various modified additives and flavorings.

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, some designs separate the instant beverage preparation liquid from the brewing liquid. However, most mixing caps on the market cannot be reused after use, which does not conform to the environmentally friendly concept of green recycling. To address this issue, a reusable mixing-type recyclable anti-counterfeiting bottle cap has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0033] Example 1

[0034] See attached Figures 1-6This embodiment provides a hybrid circulating anti-counterfeiting bottle cap, including an outer cap 1, a sealing element 2, a storage inner cap 3, and a main body 4, each component being cylindrical. The main body 4 mates with a universal bottle opening 5, and is detachably connected via a threaded connection. A sealing structure is provided to seal the connection between the main body 4 and the universal bottle opening 5. The bottom of the main body 4 is a first opening, communicating with the universal bottle opening 5. The storage inner cap 3 is detachably connected to the main body 4 via a threaded connection, and similarly, a sealing structure is provided to seal the connection between the storage inner cap 3 and the main body 4. After the storage inner cap 3 is connected to the main body 4, a storage cavity 33 for holding refrigerant is formed. The sealing element 2 is used to seal the second opening at the top of the storage cavity 33, i.e., the top of the storage inner cap 3. The outer cap 1 is slidably connected to the storage inner cap 3 and is engaged with the main body 4 in the vertical direction, allowing relative rotation in the horizontal direction. The outer cover 1 and the inner storage cover 3 cannot rotate relative to each other in the horizontal direction, but can slide relative to each other in the vertical direction. Rotating the outer cover 1 can cause the inner storage cover 3 to separate upwards from the main body 4, thereby opening the first opening. At this time, the brewing material in the storage chamber 33 enters the bottle through the first opening and mixes with the liquid. Then, the sealing element 2 is operated to open the second opening, and the liquid in the bottle communicates with the outside world through the first opening and the second opening in sequence, making it ready for consumption. Rotating the outer cover 1 in the opposite direction can cause the inner storage cover 3 to close the first opening and continue to form the storage chamber 33 for repeated filling and use.

[0035] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the inner storage cover 3 has a first annular mounting portion, and a first annular cavity is formed between the lower part of the inner storage cover 3 and the outer wall of the inner storage cover 3. The inner wall of the first annular cavity is provided with a reverse internal thread 34, and the corresponding outer wall of the main body 4 is provided with a reverse external thread 41. The connection is achieved through the engagement of the threads. Preferably, a first middle sealing surface 35 is provided on the upper part of the side of the first annular cavity opposite to the reverse internal thread 34, and a second upper sealing surface 42 is provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the main body 4. After the inner storage cover 3 and the main body 4 are connected by the thread engagement, the first middle sealing surface 35 and the second upper sealing surface 42 contact to form a seal, and the sealing surface structure can be formed by a rubber sealing ring.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bottom of the main body 4 has an upwardly concave guide slope 49. Several drainage grooves 48 are provided on the outer wall of the main body 4 and are located in the lower part of the main body 4. The annular surface between the drainage grooves 48 and the guide slope 49 is set as the second lower sealing surface 43. Correspondingly, the bottom of the storage inner cover 3 is provided with a first lower sealing surface 36. After the storage inner cover 3 and the main body 4 are connected by a threaded connection, the outer wall of the storage inner cover 3 seals the drainage grooves 48. Its bottom is sealed by contacting the first lower sealing surface 36 and the second lower sealing surface 43. At this time, the internal space of the storage inner cover 3 above the guide slope 49 is the storage cavity 33, which is used to store the brewing material.

[0037] In this embodiment, the sealing element 2 is a cylindrical structure with an inner and outer layer, and is made entirely of rubber material. A sealing cylindrical surface 21 and a first circular buckle 22 are formed between the inner and outer layers. Correspondingly, a first upper sealing surface 31 and a second circular buckle 32 are provided on the top of the storage inner cover 3. By pressing the sealing element 2, the sealing cylindrical surface 21 contacts the first upper sealing surface 31 to form a seal, while the first and second circular buckles 22 cooperate to further stabilize the connection. A flip-top protrusion (not shown in the figure) is formed on the top edge of the sealing element 2 to facilitate the application of force to separate the sealing element 2 from the top of the storage inner cover 3, thereby opening the second opening.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the outer cover 1 is provided with a first rib 11, which is formed by a plurality of evenly spaced ribs arranged vertically. Correspondingly, the outer wall of the first annular mounting part is provided with a second rib 37, which is also formed by a plurality of evenly spaced ribs. The outer walls of the ribs of the first rib 11 and the second rib 37 are smooth. A first buckle 12 is provided on the lower part of the inner wall of the outer cover 1. A second annular mounting part is formed on the outer wall of the main body 4. A second annular cavity is formed between the lower part of the second annular mounting part and the outer wall of the main body 4. A second edge 44 is provided on the outer edge of the second annular mounting part. The outer cover 1 can restrict relative rotation with the storage inner cover 3 in the horizontal rotation direction through the cooperation of the first rib 11 and the second rib 37, but can slide relative to each other in the vertical direction. To facilitate better assembly, the lower end of the rib of the first rib 11 is narrow and the upper end of the rib of the second rib 37 is narrow. This design facilitates the quick cooperation of the first rib 11 and the second rib 37. The outer cover 1 is engaged with the second mounting edge 44 through the cooperation of the first buckle 12 and the second mounting edge 44, which restricts the vertical movement, while it can rotate relative to the horizontal rotation direction.

[0039] In this embodiment, the top of the outer cover 1 is provided with an anti-counterfeiting component, which includes an anti-counterfeiting sheet 15 and a second buckle 13 disposed at the lower end of the anti-counterfeiting sheet 15. The top of the outer cover 1 has an opening, and the anti-counterfeiting sheet 15 is connected to the opening wall through a connection point 14. The connection point 14 is made of plastic and can be broken by applying a small force. A first edge 23 is provided on the top outer edge of the sealing member 2, and the second buckle 13 on the anti-counterfeiting sheet 15 can engage with the first edge 23.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second annular cavity on the main body 4 is provided with a forward internal thread 45 and a second middle sealing surface 46. Correspondingly, the universal bottle mouth 5 is provided with a forward external thread 51 and a sealing ring surface 52. The main body 4 is detachably connected to the universal bottle mouth 5 through threaded engagement, and a sealing structure is formed by the contact between the second middle sealing surface 46 and the sealing ring surface 52.

[0041] In this embodiment, a breakable ring 47 is provided at the lower end of the second annular mounting part. The breakable ring 47 is a type of anti-counterfeiting device. It is connected to the second annular mounting part through a break point 472 and is formed by several plastic connection points 14. It can also be broken by applying a certain force. A buckle 471 is provided on the inner wall of the breakable ring 47, and a corresponding rim 53 is provided on the universal bottle mouth 5. The breakable ring 47 is fixedly connected to the rim 53 by the buckle 471. A baffle is provided on the rim 53 to restrict the relative rotation between the breakable ring 47 and the universal bottle mouth 5.

[0042] The usage process of the hybrid circulating anti-counterfeiting bottle cap provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0043] 1. During assembly, the inner cover 3 of the storage material is assembled from the top of the main body 4 downwards. The inner cover 3 of the storage material is screwed on from the reverse internal thread 34 and the reverse external thread 41. The first middle sealing surface 35 contacts the second upper sealing surface 42 to form a seal. The first lower sealing surface 36 enters the second lower sealing surface 43. After the seal is formed, the brewing liquid is filled into the storage cavity 33.

[0044] 2. The sealing element 2 is assembled downward from the upper end of the assembly of the inner cover 3 and the main body 4. The sealing cylindrical surface 21 is sealed and fitted with the first upper sealing surface 31, and the first circular buckle 22 is fitted with the second circular buckle 32.

[0045] 3. The outer cover 1 is assembled downward from the upper end of the assembly of the sealing element 2, the inner storage cover 3 and the main body 4. The first protruding rib 11 and the second protruding rib 37 cooperate, the first buckle 12 locks the second edge 44, and the second buckle 13 locks the first edge 23. The bottle cap assembly is completed.

[0046] 4. Screw the assembled outer cap 1, sealing element 2, inner storage cap 3, and main body 4 downwards from the top of the universal bottle opening 5. The forward internal thread 45 and the forward external thread 51 are engaged, and the ring 471 is locked in place by the ring edge 53. The bottle installation is now complete.

[0047] 5. When opening, rotating the outer cover 1 clockwise causes the outer cover 1 to rotate along with the inner storage cover 3 due to the tight fit between the first rib 11 and the second rib 37. The inner storage cover 3 moves upward relative to the outer cover 1, the main body 4, and the bottle mouth 5. The length of the reverse internal thread 34 and the reverse external thread 41 gradually decreases, the first lower sealing surface 36 and the second lower sealing surface 43 separate, the anti-counterfeiting piece 15 at the top of the seal 2 breaks at the connection point 14 with the outer cover 1, and the brewing liquid in the inner storage cover 3 flows out from the trough 48. The guide slope 49 can accelerate the outflow of the brewing liquid. After the brewing liquid enters the bottle and mixes with the water, operate the flip-top protrusion to separate the first ring buckle 22 and the second ring buckle 32 that fasten the seal 2, and then it is ready to drink.

[0048] When refilling and recycling, rotate the outer cover 1 counterclockwise. Due to the tight fit between the first rib 11 and the second rib 37, the outer cover 1 drives the inner storage cover 3 to rotate together. The inner storage cover 3 moves downward relative to the outer cover 1, the main body 4, and the bottle mouth 5. The first lower sealing surface 36 enters the second lower sealing surface 43, forming a seal. Then, the brewing liquid is filled into the storage cavity 33, and the sealing element 2 is installed. The entire cover forms a seal. The whole can be unscrewed from the universal bottle and replaced with another universal bottle for repeated recycling. When the whole is unscrewed, the break ring 47 is fixed to the universal bottle mouth 5. When the main body 4 rotates, the break point 472 is broken, and the anti-counterfeiting function is activated. By judging whether the break ring 47 is broken, it can be determined whether it is an original bottle.
