Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water cup technology, and in particular to a water cup with an automatically pop-out straw lid. Background Technology
[0002] As we all know, water cups are used to hold liquids. To prevent the liquid from spilling when not in use, water cups usually have a lid to seal the liquid. Using the lid to seal the liquid when not in use makes the cup convenient to carry and use. However, with existing water cups, the lid needs to be twisted open to drink, which is not feasible with one hand. This is especially true for activities like driving or hiking where one-handed operation is necessary. Traditional water cups cannot meet these needs. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a water cup that can be closed and drunk from with one hand to meet the needs of modern users. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic pop-out straw lid and water cup, which can be operated with one hand for convenient drinking, and is more suitable for use in various places. In addition, the structure is simpler, which reduces manufacturing costs.
[0005] (ii) Technical solutions to be adopted
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An automatic pop-out straw cup lid includes a bottom shell and an upper cover disposed on the bottom shell. The bottom shell is provided with a drinking tube assembly and a venting assembly. A chamber for accommodating the venting assembly is formed between the bottom shell and the upper cover. The upper cover is provided with a push-operated blocking switch for exposing the drinking tube assembly. The bottom shell is provided with a press-operated switch mechanism for closing the drinking tube assembly. When the blocking switch is pushed, the drinking tube assembly will be exposed on the upper cover for drinking. When an external force is applied to the press-operated switch mechanism, the press-operated switch mechanism will cause the drinking tube assembly to retract into the chamber. When the blocking switch is in its original position, it can prevent the drinking tube assembly from being exposed on the upper cover, thus stopping drinking.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.
[0042] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 . Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, an automatic pop-out straw cup lid includes a bottom shell 1 and an upper cover 2 disposed on the bottom shell 1. The bottom shell 1 is provided with a drinking tube assembly 3 and a venting assembly 4. A chamber for accommodating the venting assembly 4 is formed between the bottom shell 1 and the upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 is provided with a push-operated blocking switch 5 for exposing the drinking tube assembly 3. The bottom shell 1 is provided with a press-operated switch mechanism 6 for closing the drinking tube assembly 3. When the blocking switch 5 is pushed, the drinking tube assembly 3 will be exposed on the upper cover 2 for drinking. When an external force is applied to the press-operated switch mechanism 6, the press-operated switch mechanism 6 will cause the drinking tube assembly 3 to retract into the chamber, preventing the drinking tube assembly 3 from being exposed when the blocking switch 5 is in its original position. The top cover 2 allows the drinking tube assembly 3 to be located within the chamber, and the blocking switch 5 seals the drinking port of the drinking tube assembly 3. It is evident that only one hand is needed to push the blocking switch 5 open, allowing the drinking tube assembly 3 to be exposed and used for drinking. When drinking is not needed, simply press the push switch mechanism 6, which will retract the drinking tube assembly 3 into the chamber, and the blocking switch 5 will prevent it from popping out. This design not only allows for one-handed operation, making it convenient for drinking with one hand, but also better meets the needs of users in various locations. Furthermore, the simpler structure reduces manufacturing costs.
[0043] Example 2: This can be explained based on Example 1, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the push-button switch mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft 61 mounted on the bottom shell 1, a rotating frame 62 mounted on the rotating shaft 61, a push-button switch 63 mounted on the rotating frame 62, and a reset member 64 positioned between the push-button switch 63 and the bottom shell 1. The rotating frame 62 causes the drinking tube assembly 3 to move downwards and retract into the chamber, thus closing the drinking tube assembly 3. In use, simply pressing the push-button switch 63 compresses the reset member 64, and the push-button switch 63 also causes the rotating frame 62 to rotate around the shaft. 61 is the pivot point for downward movement. The rotating frame 62 will drive the drinking tube assembly 3 to move downward, and the drinking tube assembly 3 will be retracted into the chamber. Then, the blocking switch 5 will prevent the drinking tube assembly 3 from popping out, which is conducive to closing. When the pressure on the pressing switch 63 is removed, the reset member 64 will rebound and press the switch 63 again, which is conducive to the next operation. When you need to drink water, you only need to push the blocking switch 5. The blocking switch 5 will no longer block the drinking tube assembly 3, and the drinking tube assembly 3 can be exposed on the top cover 2, so you can drink water.
[0044] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 10As shown, a mounting base for mounting a push switch 63 is provided on the bottom shell 1. A reset member 64 is placed in the mounting base. The push switch 63 is fitted onto the mounting base. This arrangement is advantageous because when the push switch 63 is pressed, it moves downward and compresses the reset member 64. This is advantageous because when the pressing force of the push switch 63 is removed, the reset member 64 can spring back and reset the push switch 63.
[0045] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the push switch 63 is provided with locking pins. In this embodiment, the locking pins are distributed on the outer side wall of the push switch 63, corresponding to each other (two locking pins). The rotating frame 62 is provided with locking holes that connect to the locking pins. This is more conducive to the push switch 63 being pressed down, which will drive the rotating frame 62 to rotate downward about the rotating shaft 61.
[0046] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the reset element 64 is a spring, which facilitates the return of the corresponding pressed switch 63 and rotating bracket 62.
[0047] Example 3: This can be explained based on Example 2, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the drinking tube assembly 3 includes a movable shaft 31 mounted on the bottom shell 1, a bracket 32 mounted on the movable shaft 31, the bracket 32 passing through the space between the upper surface of the bottom shell 1 and the lower surface of the rotating frame 62, and a drinking tube 33 mounted on the bracket 32. A return member 34 is provided between the bracket 32 and the bottom shell 1. In use, after the rotating frame 62 is driven to press down, it will also drive the bracket 32 to move down. The bracket 32 will move down with the movable shaft 31 as the pivot point, which will drive the drinking tube 33 to move down until it is retracted into the cavity formed between the bottom shell 1 and the top cover 2. At the same time, the bracket 32 will also be compressed, which is conducive to the subsequent pop-out of the drinking tube 33. The pop-out of the drinking tube 33 is blocked by the return of the blocking switch 5, which is conducive to achieving the closed state when not drinking water.
[0048] Among them, such as Figure 7As shown, a protruding post is provided on the side wall of the drinking pipe 33, and a device hole that cooperates with the protruding post is provided on the bracket 32. When the protruding post is installed in the device hole 1, it is convenient for the drinking pipe 33 to connect with the bracket 32. This is beneficial for the downward movement of the rotating frame 62 to make the pressing bracket 32 move downward. At this time, while the bracket 32 is compressing the return piece 34, it will also make the drinking pipe 33 move downward. This is beneficial for the drinking pipe 33 to retract into the cavity between the bottom shell 1 and the top cover 2, which is beneficial for the closing of the drinking pipe 33. Then the blocking switch 5 loses its obstruction of the drinking pipe assembly 3, and the drinking pipe assembly 3 can be exposed on the top cover 2, so that drinking water can be consumed.
[0049] Among them, such as Figure 7 The bottom shell 1 shown has a mounting base for installing the drinking pipe 33. The drinking pipe 33 is mounted on the mounting base and moves back and forth (up and down) along the mounting base. This facilitates the popping out of the drinking pipe 33 and also facilitates the retraction of the drinking pipe 33. Further explanation is provided below. Figure 11 The mounting base shown is equipped with a water inlet pipe 35, which is beneficial for drawing drinking water from the cup.
[0050] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the return component 34 uses a spring, and two springs are more conducive to the smooth return of the bracket 32.
[0051] Example 4: This can be explained based on Example 3, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the blocking switch 5 includes a limiting frame 51 mounted on the upper cover 2. The limiting frame 51 has a mounting hole 52, and a drinking tube 33 is located below the mounting hole 52. A blocking plate 53 is mounted in the mounting hole 52 and slides back and forth along the mounting hole 52. A return member 54 is provided between the blocking plate 53 and the limiting frame 51. When the side away from the drinking tube 33 is pushed, the blocking plate 53 compresses the return member 54 along the mounting hole 52. This helps the drinking tube 33 to be freed from the obstruction of the blocking plate 53 and thus bounce out, making it convenient for the user to drink water. Since the drinking tube 33 bounces out of the mounting hole 52, it also prevents the blocking plate 53 from returning to its original position due to the rebound force of the return member 54. When the pressing switch mechanism 6 is activated, the pressing switch mechanism 6 will store the drinking tube assembly 3 in the chamber and block the drinking tube 33 through the blocking switch 5. This helps to achieve the closed state when not drinking water. In this embodiment, the return element 54 is located on the end face of the mounting hole 52 on the side away from the drinking pipe 33, and a positioning post is provided on one side of the end face of the mounting hole 52. The return element 54 is installed on the positioning post. This facilitates the opening of the drinking pipe 33 by pushing the baffle plate 53, and the closing of the baffle plate 53 by the rebound force of the return element 54, preventing the drinking pipe 33 from opening. Furthermore, a sealing block is provided at the opening of the drinking pipe 33 corresponding to the baffle plate 53. This helps to seal the drinking pipe 33 when the baffle plate 53 blocks it, improving the sealing performance.
[0052] Among them, such as Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the return component 54 is a spring, which is widely available, easy to implement, and also facilitates the return of the baffle 53 to its original position.
[0053] Among them, such as Figure 10 As shown, the exhaust assembly 4 includes an exhaust hole 41 on the bottom shell 1, an exhaust needle 42 in the exhaust hole 41, an exhaust spring 43 on the exhaust needle 42, and a sealing gasket 44 installed on the exhaust needle 42 below the exhaust spring 43. A push block 45 is provided on the lower surface of the baffle plate 53 to push the exhaust needle 42 up and down. When the baffle plate 53 is pushed, it is simultaneously compressed and returned to the compression return member 54. Thus, the push block 45 moves with the baffle plate 53 and presses the exhaust needle 42. The exhaust needle 42 moves downward in the exhaust hole 41. At this time, the sealing gasket 44 on the exhaust needle 42 will open the exhaust hole 42, which is conducive to exhaust. When the baffle plate 53 is returned to its original position, the exhaust needle 42 loses the pressing pressure. Under the rebound force of the exhaust spring 43, the exhaust needle 42 moves upward, which will also cause the sealing gasket 44 on the exhaust needle 42 to seal the exhaust hole 41.
[0054] Example 5: This can be explained based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 4, as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, a sealing ring 11 is provided on the bottom shell 1 to improve the sealing performance. The top cover 2 is connected to the bottom shell 1 by snap-fit or by fixing screws, offering a variety of options and choices.
[0055] Example 6: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, or Example 5, such as... Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, this utility model also provides a water cup, including a cup body 10. The opening of the cup body 10 is provided with an automatic straw pop-out lid 20 as described above. When in use, it can be opened and closed with only one hand, which is more convenient for users. It is especially suitable for environments where only one hand can be used, such as driving or climbing mountains, so that drinking water is not burdensome and can better meet the user's needs.
[0056] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets and springs that are mature in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.
[0057] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
