Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of cup lid technology, specifically to a leak-proof cup lid. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, cups are commonly used containers for holding liquids such as water and beverages, and the cup lid, as an important accessory, directly affects the user experience due to its sealing performance. Currently, there are many types of cup lids on the market, but they generally suffer from poor leak-proof performance. Some cup lids have simple sealing designs, relying solely on a single sealing ring to achieve a seal. When the cup is tilted, inverted, or subjected to external impact, liquid can easily leak from the gaps, causing inconvenience in carrying and using. Furthermore, some existing cup lid opening and closing mechanisms are not well-designed, easily leading to incomplete seals during opening and closing. For example, the reset structure of some push-button cup lids has poor stability and is prone to elastic failure after long-term use, causing the sealing mechanism to fail to fit tightly against the drinking spout, further exacerbating the leakage problem. Simultaneously, the connection structure between some cup lids and the cup body is not robust enough, and may loosen during use due to vibration or impact, affecting the overall leak-proof effect. Based on these issues, a leak-proof cup lid is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0013] Reference Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a leak-proof cup lid, including a lid body 1, a sealing mechanism 2, and an opening and closing mechanism 3; the lid body 1 has a drinking spout 4 in the middle, the sealing mechanism 2 is disposed inside the lid body 1 and adapted to the drinking spout 4, and the opening and closing mechanism 3 passes through the lid body 1 and is connected to the sealing mechanism 2 in a transmission manner; the sealing mechanism 2 includes a silicone sealing ring 21 and a support base 22, the edge of the silicone sealing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lid body 1, the support base 22 is embedded in the middle of the silicone sealing ring 21, and the end of the opening and closing mechanism 3 is detachably connected to the support base 22.
[0014] The pressing rod 31, elastic silicone column 32, and limiting block 33 in the opening and closing mechanism 3 work together to open the drinking spout 4 by pressing the pressing cap 34. After releasing, the elastic silicone column 32 can quickly drive the sealing mechanism 2 to reset, so that the silicone sealing ring 21 tightly fits the drinking spout 4 to achieve closure. The operation is convenient. The setting of the limiting block 33 can prevent the pressing rod 31 from moving excessively, ensuring the stability of the opening and closing process. Long-term use will not easily cause the problem of poor sealing due to elastic failure.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the opening and closing mechanism 3 includes a pressing rod 31, an elastic silicone column 32, and a limiting block 33; the pressing rod 31 passes through the through hole 11 at the top of the cover 1, its bottom end is engaged with the support base 22, and its top end is provided with a pressing cap 34; the elastic silicone column 32 is sleeved on the outside of the pressing rod 31, and its two ends abut against the inner wall of the cover 1 and the support base 22 respectively; the limiting block 33 is fixed in the middle of the pressing rod 31 and forms a limiting fit with the edge of the through hole 11 at the top of the cover 1. In a preferred embodiment, the elastic silicone column 32 is integrally molded from food-grade silicone with a Shore hardness of 60-80, and its outer wall is provided with axially distributed guide grooves.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the edge of the cover 1 is provided with an annular fastening groove 5, and the inner sidewall of the fastening groove 5 is provided with at least 3 evenly distributed anti-slip protrusions 6, and the anti-slip protrusions 6 form an interference fit with the edge of the cup mouth.
[0017] Among them, the inner wall of the annular fastening groove 5 on the edge of the lid 1 is provided with at least 3 evenly distributed anti-slip protrusions 6, which form an interference fit with the edge of the cup body and the cup mouth, which can effectively prevent the lid from loosening due to vibration, collision and other reasons during use, ensure the stability of the connection, and further improve the leak-proof effect. In a preferred embodiment, the silicone sealing ring 21 has a "T"-shaped cross-section. Its transverse portion is fixed to the inner wall of the cover 1 by heat pressing, and its longitudinal portion forms a tight seal with the inner wall of the drinking spout 4. Figure 2 As shown, the silicone sealing ring 21 on the bottom surface is in cross-section.
[0018] The silicone sealing ring 21 has a "T" shaped cross section, and the horizontal part is heat-pressed and fixed to the inner wall of the lid 1, which enhances the firmness of the connection between the sealing mechanism 2 and the lid. The annular sealing gasket at the bottom of the pressing cap 34 fits tightly with the edge of the through hole 11 at the top of the lid 1 when closed, which further improves the sealing performance at the opening and closing mechanism 3. The size design of the snap-fit groove 5 and the anti-slip protrusions 6, as well as the setting of the arc transition surface, not only ensure the tightness of the connection, but also facilitate the installation and removal of the cup lid and the cup body.
[0019] This leak-proof cup lid features a sealing mechanism consisting of a silicone sealing ring 21 and a support base 22. The edge of the silicone sealing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lid body 1, and the longitudinal part is fitted and sealed against the inner side wall of the drinking spout 4, effectively preventing liquid from leaking out of the drinking spout 4. At the same time, the annular fastening groove 5 and anti-slip protrusions 6 on the edge of the lid body 1 form an interference fit with the cup body and the cup mouth, enhancing the sealing performance of the connection between the lid body 1 and the cup body. The double sealing structure greatly improves the leak-proof performance, and even if the cup is tilted or inverted, it is not easy for liquid to leak.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the pressing cap 34 is provided with an annular sealing gasket 35. When the opening and closing mechanism is in the closed state, the annular sealing gasket 35 is tightly fitted with the edge of the through hole 11 on the top of the cover 1. In a preferred embodiment, the cover 1 is injection molded from food-grade PP material, and the silicone sealing ring 21 is vulcanized from food-grade silicone. Both the cover and the silicone sealing ring meet the safety standards for food contact materials, do not release harmful substances, and ensure the health and safety of users. In a preferred embodiment, the depth of the fastening groove 5 is 5-8mm, the height of the anti-slip protrusion 6 is 0.5-1mm, and the surface is provided with an arc-shaped transition surface. The lid is installed as follows: Sealing mechanism and cover assembly: The transverse part of the silicone sealing ring 21 is fixed to the inner wall of the cover 1 by heat pressing process, ensuring that the longitudinal part is aligned with the inner wall of the drinking port 4 in the middle of the cover 1 to form the initial sealing base. Then, the support 22 is embedded into the reserved groove in the middle of the silicone sealing ring 21, and the two are fixedly connected by the snap-fit structure. Assembly of opening and closing mechanism: The elastic silicone column 32 is sleeved on the outside of the pressing rod 31, so that the top of the elastic silicone column 32 abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting block 33 in the middle of the pressing rod 31. The pressing rod 31 is passed through the through hole 11 at the top of the cover 1, ensuring that the limiting block 33 and the edge of the through hole 11 form a limiting fit, and the bottom end of the elastic silicone column 32 abuts against the protrusion on the inner wall of the cover 1. Finally, the pressing cap 34 is fixed to the top of the pressing rod 31 by threaded connection, and an annular sealing gasket is pasted on the bottom of the pressing cap 34. Overall assembly and fixation: Connect the end of the assembled opening and closing mechanism 3 (i.e. the bottom end of the pressing rod 31) to the support base 22 through the slot structure to ensure that the pressing rod 31 drives the support base 22 to move synchronously. Check the anti-slip protrusions on the inner side wall of the annular fastening groove 5 on the edge of the cover 1 to ensure that the three protrusions are evenly distributed and without deformation. The above structure is reasonable and easy to maintain. The support base 22 in the sealing mechanism 2 is detachably connected to the end of the opening and closing mechanism 3, which facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of each component and avoids bacterial growth. At the same time, the connection method of each component is reasonably designed, making production and assembly convenient and helping to reduce production costs.
[0021] When closed, the elastic silicone column 32 is in a naturally extended state. Its elastic force pushes the support seat 22 to cause the longitudinal part of the silicone sealing ring 21 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the drinking spout 4, forming a primary seal. At the same time, the annular sealing pad at the bottom of the pressing cap 34 fits against the edge of the through hole 11 at the top of the cover 1, forming a secondary seal. The fastening groove 5 at the edge of the cover 1 is interference-fitted with the cup mouth, forming a tertiary seal. When the operation is started, press down on the pressing cap 34. The pressing rod 31 drives the support base 22 to move downward. The longitudinal part of the silicone sealing ring 21 separates from the drinking port 4. The elastic silicone column 32 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. At this time, the drinking port 4 is opened, and liquid can be drunk through the drinking port 4. The flow guide groove on the outer wall of the elastic silicone column 32 can guide the flow of liquid and avoid residue. Reset and close: Release the pressing cap 34, the elastic silicone column 32 releases potential energy, pushes the support base 22 and pressing rod 31 upward to reset, the longitudinal part of the silicone sealing ring 21 re-attaches to the drinking spout 4, and restores the three-level sealing state. The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
