[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, higher requirements are being placed on water storage containers. Currently, the most common water storage container in daily life is the water cup. To facilitate cleaning or adding water to the cup, a removable lid is usually provided. How to improve the reliability of the connection between the lid and the cup body and prevent the lid from accidentally detaching is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this disclosure is to provide a container lid assembly and a container that prevents the container lid assembly from accidentally detaching from the container body, thereby improving the reliability of the container lid assembly.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides the following technical solution: According to one aspect of this disclosure, a container lid assembly is provided, the container lid assembly including a bottom lid assembly and a movable lid assembly. The bottom lid assembly includes a bottom lid body and a snap fastener. The bottom lid body is used to engage with an opening of a container body. The snap fastener is movably disposed in the bottom lid body. The snap fastener can extend from the circumferential sidewall of the bottom lid body and engage with the container body, and can retract into the bottom lid body to allow the bottom lid body to separate from the opening of the container body. The movable lid assembly is movably connected to the bottom lid assembly to close onto the bottom lid assembly. The movable lid assembly is provided with a limiting portion. When the movable lid assembly closes relative to the bottom lid assembly, the limiting portion can limit the snap fastener to prevent the snap fastener from retracting into the bottom lid body, thereby keeping the snap fastener in an extended state.

[0005] According to the container lid assembly provided in this embodiment, when the movable lid assembly is closed relative to the bottom lid assembly, the limiting part limits and locks the buckle. At this time, the buckle will remain in the extended state and be engaged with the container body, thereby preventing the container lid assembly and the container body from accidentally disengaging and improving the reliability of the container lid assembly.

[0006] According to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the limiting part is a limiting protrusion disposed on the lower surface of the movable cover assembly. When the movable cover assembly is closed relative to the bottom cover assembly, the limiting protrusion can be disposed on the moving path of the buckle to stop the buckle, thereby effectively preventing the buckle from retracting inward and thus achieving effective limiting of the buckle.

[0007] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the bottom cover body is provided with a buckle receiving cavity, the buckle is movably disposed in the buckle receiving cavity, the top wall of the buckle receiving cavity is provided with a limiting through hole, the lower end of the limiting protrusion can pass through the limiting through hole and extend into the buckle receiving cavity, and stop at least a part of the inner side of the buckle. With this configuration, as long as the limiting protrusion stops the buckle, it can be limited.

[0008] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the limiting protrusion can be located inside the buckle; or, the top of the buckle is provided with a stop protrusion, and the limiting protrusion is located inside the stop protrusion; or, the top of the buckle is provided with a limiting groove, and the lower end of the limiting protrusion can be inserted into the limiting groove. With this configuration, when the movable cover assembly is closed onto the bottom cover assembly, the limiting portion can limit the buckle, thereby preventing the buckle from accidentally moving relative to the bottom cover body.

[0009] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the upper end of the buckle is provided with a stop protrusion that can protrude from the upper surface of the bottom cover assembly. The limiting portion is a limiting groove provided on the lower surface of the movable cover assembly. When the movable cover assembly is closed relative to the bottom cover assembly, the stop protrusion can be inserted into the limiting groove. With this configuration, the buckle is positioned relative to the bottom cover body by setting a stop protrusion and engaging with the limiting groove on the movable cover assembly.

[0010] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the buckle includes a buckle body, a control part, and an engaging part. The control part and the engaging part are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the buckle body. Along the radial direction of the container cap assembly, the control part and the engaging part are disposed radially outside the buckle body. The engaging part can extend from the circumferential sidewall of the bottom cap body to engage with the container body. The control part can extend from the circumferential sidewall of the bottom cap body. By pressing the control part, the engaging part can be retracted into the bottom cap body to separate from the container body. With this configuration, the control part enables the pressing operation of the buckle, and the engaging part enables the engaging connection with the opening of the container body, resulting in a simple and reliable structure.

[0011] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the bottom cover assembly further includes a first elastic member disposed within the bottom cover body. The first elastic member is capable of applying a force to the latch, causing the latch to extend outward relative to the bottom cover body. When the latch is engaged with the container body, the first elastic member can retain the engaging portion within the latch groove, effectively preventing the latch from accidentally disengaging from the latch groove and improving the reliability of the container. Furthermore, after the external pressure acting on the control part is removed, the latch can quickly reset under the action of the first elastic member.

[0012] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the container lid assembly further includes a locking component that locks the movable lid assembly relative to the bottom lid assembly when the movable lid assembly is closed relative to the bottom lid assembly. This configuration, by including the locking component in the container lid assembly, prevents accidental opening of the movable lid assembly relative to the bottom lid assembly, thus providing reliability in the use of the container lid assembly.

[0013] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the locking assembly includes a driving structure and a first locking part and a second locking part that cooperate for locking. The first locking part is disposed on the movable cover assembly, and the second locking part is disposed on the bottom cover assembly. At least one of the first locking part and the second locking part is a movable locking part. The driving structure is used to drive the movable locking part to move to an unlocked position, so that the second locking part unlocks and releases the first locking part, thereby allowing the movable cover assembly to open relative to the bottom cover assembly. With this configuration, the locking assembly can be unlocked by moving the movable locking part to the unlocked position.

[0014] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the locking assembly further includes a second elastic member that applies a force to the movable locking portion to engage and lock the first locking portion with the second locking portion. When the first locking portion and the second locking portion are engaged and locked, the second spring member can drive the first locking portion to remain engaged with the second locking portion, thereby preventing accidental rotation of the first locking portion and resulting in accidental unlocking. Furthermore, after the drive motor removes the force, the first locking portion can quickly reset under the action of the second spring member.

[0015] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the first locking part is a movable locking part, which is rotatably connected to the movable cover assembly via a locking part pivot shaft, and the second elastic member is a torsion spring sleeved on the locking part pivot shaft.

[0016] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the container lid assembly further includes a fingerprint recognition unit and a controller. The fingerprint recognition unit is disposed on one of the bottom cover assembly and the movable cover assembly. The fingerprint recognition unit is used to recognize fingerprint information and can match the recognized fingerprint information with pre-stored fingerprint information. When the recognized fingerprint information matches the pre-stored fingerprint information, the controller receives fingerprint matching success information and controls the locking component to unlock. This disclosure uses a fingerprint recognition unit for fingerprint matching, which can prevent others from unlocking the container lid assembly, improve the reliability of the container lid assembly, and thus improve the reliability of the container.

[0017] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the bottom cover assembly has a water outlet channel extending vertically through the bottom cover body. At least two latches are provided, spaced apart around the outer periphery of the water outlet channel. When the movable cover assembly is closed relative to the bottom cover assembly, the movable cover assembly can block the water outlet channel. This disclosure improves the connection reliability between the container cover assembly and the container body by providing at least two latches on the outer periphery of the water outlet channel.

[0018] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a container is provided, the container including a container body and a container lid assembly as described above.

[0019] According to another exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the inner wall of the opening of the container body is provided with a slot, and the buckle can be inserted into the slot to detachably connect the container cap assembly to the opening of the container body.

[0025] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should not be construed that the embodiments of this disclosure are limited to those described herein. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0026] One aspect of this disclosure provides a container, which, by way of example, can be a water cup for storing liquids, but is not limited thereto. By way of example, the water cup can be an insulated water cup or a regular water cup.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The container provided in this embodiment typically includes a container body 200 and a container lid assembly 100. The container lid assembly 100 can be installed at the opening of the container body 200 to seal the container and prevent the liquid inside the container from leaking out, thereby improving the safety of the container.

[0028] In this embodiment, the container may further include a sealing ring 117 disposed between the container cap assembly 100 and the opening of the container body 200. When the container cap assembly 100 is closed over the opening of the container body 200, it can keep the connection between the container cap assembly 100 and the container body 200 sealed, but this is not a limitation. As an example, the sealing ring 117 is sleeved on the lower outer periphery of the container cap assembly 100, but this is not a limitation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the container cap assembly 100 can be snapped onto the opening of the container body 200. Specifically, the inner sidewall of the opening of the container body 200 is provided with a slot 201, and the container cap assembly 100 can be provided with a snap-fit ​​part that matches the slot 201. The snap-fit ​​part is detachably snapped onto the slot 201, thereby allowing the container cap assembly 100 to be snapped onto the container body 200.

[0030] As an example, the slot 201 can be continuously extended along the circumference of the container body 200 to form an annular slot, but is not limited thereto. The slot 201 can also be set as an arc-shaped slot extending along the circumference of the container body 200, but is not limited thereto.

[0031] In another aspect of this disclosure, a container lid assembly 100 is provided, which may include a bottom cover assembly 110 and a movable lid assembly 150, wherein the bottom cover assembly 110 may be installed at the opening of a container body 200.

[0032] The bottom cover assembly 110 may include a bottom cover body 111 and a snap fastener 190. The bottom cover body 111 is used to engage with the opening of the container body 200. The snap fastener 190 is movably disposed in the bottom cover body 111 and can extend from the side wall of the bottom cover body 111 and engage with the container body 200. For example, but not limited to, the snap fastener 190 can be inserted into the slot 201 so that the snap fastener 190 is reliably connected to the container body 200.

[0033] When it is necessary to remove the container lid assembly 100 from the container body 200, the latch 190 can retract into the bottom cover body 111, so that the latch 190 disengages from the container body 200, thereby allowing the container lid assembly 100 to be removed.

[0034] When the buckle 190 extends from the side wall of the bottom cover body 111, the limiting part 170 can lock the buckle 190 relative to the bottom cover body 111, thereby effectively preventing the buckle 190 from retracting relative to the bottom cover body 111 and improving the connection reliability between the buckle 190 and the container body 200.

[0035] The movable cover assembly 150 is movably connected to the bottom cover assembly 110 so as to close and connect to the bottom cover assembly 110. The movable cover assembly 150 is provided with a limiting part 170. When the movable cover assembly 150 closes relative to the bottom cover assembly 110, the limiting part 170 can limit and lock the latch 190 so that the latch 190 remains in the extended state.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the movable lid assembly 150 is closed relative to the bottom lid assembly 110, the limiting part 170 limits and locks the buckle 190. At this time, the buckle 190 will remain in the extended state and be engaged with the container body 200, thereby preventing the container lid assembly 100 and the container body 200 from accidentally disengaging, and improving the reliability of the container lid assembly 100.

[0037] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The bottom cover body 111 has a snap-fit ​​receiving cavity, and the snap-fit ​​190 is telescopically disposed in the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity. A first through hole and a second through hole are provided on the circumferential side wall of the bottom cover body 111. The first through hole and the second through hole are respectively connected to the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity, and the first through hole and the second through hole are spaced apart along the height direction of the container cover assembly 100.

[0038] The buckle 190 may include a buckle body 191, a control part 192 connected to the buckle body 191, and a locking part 193. Along the height direction of the container cap assembly 100, the control part 192 and the locking part 193 may be arranged at intervals, and the control part 192 is arranged above the locking part 193 so as to extend outward through the first through hole and the second through hole respectively.

[0039] As an example, the control part 192 and the engaging part 193 are respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the buckle body 191. Along the radial direction of the container cap assembly 100, the control part 192 and the engaging part 193 are disposed radially outside the buckle body 191. The control part 192 can extend beyond the bottom cover body 111 through the first through hole to facilitate user pressing operation. The engaging part 193 can extend beyond the bottom cover body 111 through the second through hole to engage in a locking connection within the slot 201.

[0040] In this embodiment, the engaging part 193 is provided at the lower end of the buckle body 191, so that the engaging part 193 can extend into the inner cavity of the opening of the container body 200, thereby engaging and connecting with the container body 200.

[0041] When the engaging part 193 extends outward through the second through hole, the control part 192 extends outward through the first through hole for the user to press and operate. The user can drive the buckle 190 to move relative to the bottom cover body 111 through the control part 192, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] When the container cap assembly 100 is engaged with the opening of the container body 200, the engaging part 193 is located inside the opening and engages with the slot 201 on the inner wall of the opening. The control part 192 is located above the opening of the container body 200 for easy pressing by the user. When the user presses the control part 192, the engaging part 193 retracts into the latch receiving cavity relative to the bottom cap body 111. At this time, the latch 190 will disengage from the slot 201, and the bottom cap assembly 110 will disengage from the container body 200, allowing the bottom cap assembly 110 to be removed from the opening of the container body 200.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the limiting part 170 may include a limiting protrusion. When the movable cover assembly 150 is closed relative to the bottom cover assembly 110, the limiting protrusion can be disposed on the moving path of the buckle 190 to stop the buckle 190.

[0044] Specifically, the limiting protrusion can be disposed on the lower surface of the movable cover assembly 150, the bottom cover body 111 is provided with a buckle receiving cavity, the buckle 190 is movably disposed in the buckle receiving cavity, and the upper surface of the buckle receiving cavity is provided with a limiting through hole for the limiting protrusion to pass through. When the movable cover assembly 150 is closed relative to the bottom cover assembly 110, the limiting part 170 can pass through the limiting through hole and stop on the inner side of at least a part of the buckle 190, thereby cooperating with the buckle 190 to limit the movement.

[0045] As an example, the limiting protrusion may be integrally formed with the bottom surface of the movable cover assembly 150, and the limiting protrusion extends outward from the bottom surface of the movable cover assembly 150, but is not limited thereto.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the movable cover assembly 150 is closed relative to the bottom cover assembly 110, the lower end of the limiting protrusion can be inserted into the buckle receiving cavity and located on the retraction path of the buckle 190. The limiting protrusion stops the buckle 190, preventing the buckle 190 from retracting inward relative to the bottom cover body 111, so that the buckle 190 remains in the extended state.

[0047] As an example, the lower end of the limiting protrusion is located inside at least a portion of the latch 190. For instance, a stop protrusion is provided at the top of the latch 190. When the movable cover assembly 150 is closed relative to the bottom cover assembly 110, the lower end of the limiting protrusion is located inside the stop protrusion. By positioning the limiting protrusion inside the stop protrusion, accidental inward movement of the stop protrusion is prevented, thereby preventing the latch 190 from moving inward and effectively limiting the latch 190. As another example, a limiting groove matching the limiting protrusion is provided at the top of the latch 190. When the movable cover assembly 150 is closed relative to the bottom cover assembly 110, the limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove, keeping the latch 190 in an extended state. Even if the user presses the control part 192, the latch 190 cannot move relative to the bottom cover body 111, thereby preventing accidental movement of the latch 190 relative to the bottom cover body 111.

[0048] In another embodiment of this disclosure, when the movable cover assembly 150 is closed relative to the bottom cover assembly 110, the limiting part 170 can be fitted against the radial inner sidewall of the buckle 190 to prevent the buckle 190 from moving inward accidentally. The buckle 190 can be limited to keep it in the extended state, but this is not the limitation.

[0049] This embodiment uses the fixed connection of the limiting protrusion to the movable cover assembly 150 as an example for illustration, but it is not limited thereto. In optional embodiments, the limiting part 170 can also be a limiting groove provided on the lower surface of the movable cover assembly 150. Specifically, a stop protrusion is provided on the top of the buckle 190, and it can extend upward through the limiting hole to protrude from the upper surface of the bottom cover body 111. A limiting groove is provided on the lower surface of the movable cover assembly 150. When the movable cover assembly 150 is closed on the bottom cover assembly 110, the stop protrusion can be inserted into the limiting groove, and the buckle 190 is limited by the limiting groove, so that the buckle 190 can be kept in the extended state.

[0050] In this embodiment, the control unit 192 extends outward relative to the bottom cover body 111 for the user to press and operate, thereby driving the buckle 190 to move relative to the bottom cover body 111.

[0051] In this embodiment, the bottom cover assembly 110 may further include a first elastic member 116 disposed inside the bottom cover body 111, which applies a force to the buckle 190 to cause the engaging portion 193 to extend outward relative to the bottom cover body 111.

[0052] As an example, the first elastic element 116 can be a compression spring, compressed between the cavity wall of the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity and the snap-fit ​​190. Specifically, the first elastic element 116 is compressed inside the snap-fit ​​190, but is not limited thereto.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 To improve the connection reliability of the first elastic member 116, a first positioning part 115 is provided on the cavity wall of the snap-fit ​​receiving cavity, and one end of the first elastic member 116 can be connected to the first positioning part 115. As an example, the first positioning part 115 can be one of a positioning groove and a positioning protrusion.

[0054] This embodiment uses the first positioning part 115 as a positioning protrusion as an example. The positioning protrusion extends from the cavity wall of the snap fastener accommodating cavity toward the snap fastener 190. One end of the compression spring can be sleeved on the positioning protrusion, but is not limited thereto.

[0055] The latch 190 may be provided with a second positioning part 194 that matches the first elastic member 116. The second positioning part 194 is located radially inside the latch body 191, but is not limited thereto. As an example, the second positioning part 194 may be one of a positioning groove and a positioning protrusion.

[0056] This embodiment uses the second positioning part 194 as a positioning groove as an example for explanation. The other end of the compression spring can be inserted into the positioning groove, but it is not limited thereto.

[0057] In this embodiment, a first positioning part 115 and a second positioning part 194 are provided at both ends of the first elastic member 116 so that both ends of the first elastic member 116 can be positioned respectively, thereby achieving effective positioning of the first elastic member 116 and improving the reliability of the buckle 190.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the latch 190 is engaged with the container body 200, the first elastic member 116 can keep the engaging portion 193 within the slot 201, effectively preventing the latch 190 from accidentally disengaging from the slot 201 and improving the reliability of the container. Furthermore, after the external pressure acting on the control part 192 is removed, the latch 190 can quickly reset under the action of the first elastic member 116.

[0059] In this embodiment, one of the first positioning part 115 and the second positioning part 194 is a positioning protrusion and the other is a positioning groove. Along the radial direction of the container cap assembly 100, the first positioning part 115 and the second positioning part 194 are arranged facing each other. With the length of the first elastic member 116 being constant, the space utilization rate is improved while ensuring the movement stroke of the buckle 190.

[0060] In this embodiment, at least two latches 190 are provided, and the at least two latches 190 are spaced apart along the outer periphery of the water outlet channel 118 (described below) to improve the connection reliability between the container cover assembly 100 and the container body 200. This embodiment uses two latches 190 as an example for explanation, but is not limited thereto. The two latches 190 can be evenly distributed along the circumference of the bottom cover body 111, but are not limited thereto.

[0061] As an example, the buckle 190 can move horizontally relative to the bottom cover body 111 along the radial direction of the bottom cover body 111, but is not limited thereto.

[0062] As an example, to facilitate the installation of the buckle 190, the bottom cover body 111 includes a lower bottom cover 112 and an upper bottom cover 113, which are fitted together. The buckle receiving cavity can be located between the lower bottom cover 112 and the upper bottom cover 113, but is not limited thereto. An inner sealing ring 114 is provided at the joint between the lower bottom cover 112 and the upper bottom cover 113, but is not limited thereto.

[0063] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The bottom cover assembly 110 has a water outlet channel 118, which can penetrate the bottom cover body 111 vertically. The inner cavity of the container body 200 can be connected to the outside through the water outlet channel 118. When there is water in the container body 200, the water can flow out through the water outlet channel 118 and can be drunk by the user, but this is not the only limitation.

[0064] The movable lid assembly 150 is movably connected to the bottom lid assembly 110, allowing it to be opened or closed relative to the bottom lid assembly 110. When the movable lid assembly 150 is closed on the bottom lid assembly 110, it blocks the water outlet channel 118, keeping the container sealed. When the movable lid assembly 150 is open relative to the bottom lid assembly 110, the inner cavity of the container body 200 communicates with the outside through the water outlet channel 118. If water is present in the container body 200, it can flow out through the water outlet channel 118 for drinking, but this is not a limitation.

[0065] To reliably seal the water outlet channel 118, as an example, the movable cover assembly 150 includes a movable cover body 151 and a first seal 152 connected to the movable cover body 151. When the movable cover assembly 150 is closed on the bottom cover assembly 110, the first seal 152 closes and seals the top of the water outlet channel 118, thereby sealing the water outlet channel 118, but is not limited thereto. As an example, the first seal 152 can be a food-grade silicone gasket, but is not limited thereto.

[0066] In this embodiment, the movable cover assembly 150 can be a sliding cover, which can be slidably connected to the bottom cover assembly 110 and can be slidably opened; or the movable cover assembly 150 can be a flip cover, which can be rotatably connected to one side of the bottom cover assembly 110 and can be flipped open.

[0067] This embodiment uses the movable cover assembly 150 as an example of a flip cover. The movable cover assembly 150 is rotatably connected to one side of the bottom cover assembly 110 via the movable cover pivot 130, but is not limited thereto.

[0068] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The container lid assembly 100 may also include a locking component 180, which locks the movable lid assembly 150 relative to the bottom lid assembly 110 when the movable lid assembly 150 is closed relative to the bottom lid assembly 110, at which time the movable lid assembly 150 will remain in the closed state relative to the bottom lid assembly 110.

[0069] The locking assembly 180 includes a drive structure and a first locking part 181 and a second locking part 182 that cooperate to lock. The first locking part 181 is disposed on the movable cover assembly 150, and the second locking part 182 is disposed on the bottom cover assembly 110. At least one of the first locking part 181 and the second locking part 182 is a movable locking part.

[0070] The drive structure is used to drive the movable locking part to the unlocked position. When the movable locking part is in the locked position, the second locking part 182 can unlock and release the first locking part 181, and the movable cover assembly 150 can be opened relative to the bottom cover assembly 110.

[0071] As an example, the locking component 180 is a latching component that engages with each other, but is not limited thereto. Specifically, the first locking part 181 includes a first latch, and the second locking part 182 includes a second latch. At least one of the first latch and the second latch is a movable latch. The driving structure is used to drive the movable latch to the unlocked position, thereby unlocking the first locking part 181 and the second locking part 182. At this time, the first locking part 181 and the second locking part 182 are disengaged.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first locking part 181 may include a first hook, which is rotatably connected to the movable cover assembly 150 to form a movable hook, and the second locking part 182 includes a second hook that matches the first hook.

[0073] Specifically, this embodiment uses the first locking part 181 as a movable hook and the second locking part 182 as a fixed hook as an example for explanation. The movable locking part, as defined in this embodiment, is movably connected relative to the movable cover assembly 150 to which it is located. As an example, the movable hook is movable relative to the movable cover assembly 150; for example, but not limited to, the movable hook can rotate or move relative to the movable cover assembly 150. The fixed hook is fixedly connected to the bottom cover assembly 110, but this is not a limitation.

[0074] The first locking part 181 is a movable locking part, which is rotatably connected to the movable cover assembly 150 via the locking part pivot 183. The second locking part 182 is fixed to the bottom cover assembly 110. When the movable cover assembly 150 is closed on the bottom cover assembly 110, the first locking part 181 can hook and engage with the second locking part 182, at which time the movable cover assembly 150 is locked relative to the bottom cover assembly 110.

[0075] The drive structure is used to drive the first locking part 181 to the unlocked position to unlock it from the second locking part 182. At this time, the first locking part 181 disengages from the second locking part 182, and the movable cover assembly 150 can be opened relative to the bottom cover assembly 110. This embodiment is described using the example of the drive structure driving the first locking part 181 to rotate around the locking part pivot axis 183 to the unlocked position, but it is not limited thereto.

[0076] Specifically, the drive structure may include a drive motor 159, which can be used to drive the first locking part 181 to rotate about the locking part pivot axis 183, but is not limited thereto.

[0077] As an example, the first locking part 181 can be fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 159 via the locking part pivot 183, and the first locking part 181, the locking part pivot 183, and the output shaft of the drive motor 159 are fixedly connected. When the drive motor 159 is started, the output shaft can rotate, which can drive the locking part pivot 183 to rotate, thereby causing the first locking part 181 to rotate relative to the movable cover body 151. As an example, the locking part pivot 183 and the output shaft of the drive motor 159 are coaxially arranged, but this is not a limitation.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the drive structure may further include a meshing first gear and a second gear. The first locking part 181 and the first gear are respectively fixed to the locking part pivot shaft 183, and the second gear is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 159. When the drive motor 159 is started, the output shaft can rotate, so that the second gear will rotate with the output shaft, thereby driving the first gear to rotate. The first locking part 181 will rotate with the first gear relative to the movable cover body 151.

[0079] The above embodiment is illustrated by taking a movable hook rotatably connected to the movable cover body 151 as the first locking part 181 and a fixed hook fixed to the bottom cover assembly 110 as the example, but it is not limited thereto. Depending on the need, the first locking part 181 can be a fixed hook fixed to the movable cover body 151, and the second locking part 182 can be a movable hook rotatably connected to the bottom cover assembly 110; or, the first locking part 181 can be a movable hook rotatably connected to the movable cover body 151, and the second locking part 182 can be a movable hook rotatably connected to the bottom cover assembly 110, all of which are within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0080] In this embodiment, the locking component 180 may further include a second elastic element (not shown) that applies a force to the movable locking part to lock the first locking part 181 and the second locking part 182 together.

[0081] As an example, the second elastic element is a torsion spring sleeved on the pivot shaft 183 of the locking part. When the first locking part 181 and the second locking part 182 are engaged and locked, the second spring element can drive the first locking part 181 to remain engaged with the second locking part 182, thereby preventing the first locking part 181 from accidentally rotating and causing accidental unlocking. In addition, after the drive motor 159 removes its force, the first locking part 181 can quickly reset under the action of the second spring element, but this is not a limitation.

[0082] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4In this embodiment, the container lid assembly 100 also includes a fingerprint recognition unit 160 and a controller. The fingerprint recognition unit 160 is connected to one of the bottom cover assembly 110 and the movable cover assembly 150, and is used to recognize fingerprint information and match the recognized fingerprint information with pre-stored fingerprint information. When the recognized fingerprint information matches the pre-stored fingerprint information, the controller receives fingerprint matching success information and controls the drive structure to drive the locking assembly 180 to unlock.

[0083] This embodiment is illustrated by taking the fingerprint recognition unit 160 as being disposed on the movable cover assembly 150 as an example. For example, but not limited to, the fingerprint recognition unit 160 is disposed on the top wall of the movable cover assembly 150, but is not limited thereto.

[0084] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, the container lid assembly 100 may also include a battery 154 for providing power to components such as the fingerprint recognition unit 160, the controller, and the drive motor 159, but is not limited thereto.

[0085] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of components such as fingerprint recognition unit 160, locking component 180, or battery 154, the movable cover body 151 may include a movable cover upper cover 157 and a movable cover lower cover 156. The movable cover upper cover 157 is a cylindrical body with an opening at one end and is fitted on the outside of the movable cover lower cover 156, but is not limited thereto.

[0086] This disclosure improves the security of the container lid assembly 100 by setting up a fingerprint recognition unit 160 to identify the user of the container and prevent others from accidentally opening the container lid assembly 100.

[0087] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 To improve the connection reliability of the upper movable cover 157 and the lower movable cover 156, a movable cover latching protrusion 155 is provided on one of the inner cylinder wall of the upper movable cover 157 and the outer peripheral wall of the lower movable cover 156, and a movable cover latching groove matching the movable cover latching protrusion 155 is provided on the other. The movable cover latching protrusion 155 is engaged and connected in the movable cover latching groove, so that the upper movable cover 157 and the lower movable cover 156 are reliably connected together.

[0088] This embodiment uses the example of a movable cover protrusion 155 located on the outer peripheral wall of the lower movable cover 156 and a movable cover groove located on the inner cylindrical wall of the upper movable cover 157 for illustration, but it is not limited thereto. As needed, the movable cover protrusion 155 can extend continuously along the outer peripheral wall of the lower movable cover 156 to form a ring, but it is not limited thereto.

[0089] When the movable cover assembly 150 is closed on the bottom cover assembly 110, the first seal 152 will block the top of the water outlet channel 118 (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown), this prevents the liquid stored inside the container body 200 from flowing out through the water outlet channel 118. Simultaneously, the first locking part 181 and the second locking part 182 engage (as shown). Figure 3 As shown, this locks the movable cover assembly 150 relative to the bottom cover assembly 110, preventing accidental opening of the movable cover assembly 150 relative to the bottom cover assembly 110 and improving the reliability of the container cover assembly 100. Simultaneously, the limiting part 170 locks the position of the latch 190 through the limiting hole, preventing accidental movement of the latch 190 relative to the bottom cover body 111. When the movable cover assembly 150 is closed and connected to the bottom cover assembly 110, the latch 190 cannot move relative to the bottom cover body 111 and therefore cannot disengage from the slot 201. In this case, the bottom cover assembly 110 remains connected to the container body 200.

[0090] When a user needs to drink the liquid inside the container body 200, they can touch the fingerprint recognition unit 160 with their finger. The fingerprint recognition unit 160 will receive the fingerprint information and match it with the fingerprint information pre-stored in the fingerprint recognition unit 160. When the fingerprint information matches successfully, the fingerprint recognition unit 160 can send the successful fingerprint information matching information to the controller. The controller controls the drive motor 159 to start according to the successful matching information, so as to drive the first locking part 181 to move to the unlock position, thereby unlocking and disengaging from the second locking part 182. At this time, the movable cover assembly 150 can be opened relative to the bottom cover assembly 110. During the opening process of the movable cover assembly 150 relative to the bottom cover assembly 110, the limiting part 170 will move out of the limiting groove, releasing the limiting lock on the buckle 190. At this time, the user presses the control part 192, and the buckle 190 will move relative to the bottom cover body 111, thereby disengaging the buckle 190 from the slot 201. At this time, the bottom cover assembly 110 can be removed from the opening of the container body 200.

[0091] The container lid assembly 100 provided in this disclosure allows a user to drink water from the container body 200 when the movable lid assembly 150 is open relative to the bottom lid assembly 110. Additionally, when the movable lid assembly 150 is open relative to the bottom lid assembly 110, the user can press the control part 192 to disengage the latch 190 from the slot 201, allowing the bottom lid assembly 110 to be removed from the opening of the container body 200 for cleaning the container lid assembly 100 or the container body 200, and also for adding liquid to the container body 200.
