[0029] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the following description is in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1 to 13This specification provides a detailed description of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0030] A cup lid with switchable drinking modes includes a lid body 1, a switching mechanism 2, and a driving mechanism 3.

[0031] The top surface of the cover body 1 is provided with a drinking spout 100 for drinking water; in order to make the water flow smoothly when drinking, a constant pressure hole 101 is usually provided, and the drinking spout 100 and the constant pressure hole 101 are connected vertically.

[0032] The switching mechanism 2 is located below and connected to the drinking spout 100, and its lower end can be connected to a straw. The switching mechanism 2 can switch between a drinking state and a direct drinking state. In the direct drinking state, the wall of the switching mechanism 2 is converted into a water passage hole 200 through which water flows (i.e., at least one water passage hole 200 is provided on the side wall, bottom wall, or top wall). When the cup is turned upside down, the water flows through the water passage hole 200 to the drinking spout 100 to achieve direct drinking. In the drinking state, the wall of the switching mechanism 2 is sealed and converted into a tubular structure that runs through the top and bottom. The drinking spout 100, the switching mechanism 2, and the straw can then be connected to achieve drinking.

[0033] The driving mechanism 3 is used to drive the switching mechanism 2 to switch between the drinking state and the direct drinking state. It includes a transmission structure and an operating part. The transmission structure is located below the cap body 1 and is linked with the switching mechanism 2 (the movement of the transmission structure can be rotation, translation, lifting, etc., and the linkage can be gears, linkage rods, etc.). The operating part is at least partially exposed in the cap body 1 for easy operation by the user (the operation can be rotation, sliding, pressing, etc.). Example 2

[0034] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of the switching mechanism 2.

[0035] The switching mechanism 2 includes, from the outside to the inside, an outer shell 21, a seal 22, and an inner core 23; wherein the outer shell 21 is connected to the lower surface of the cover body 1 in an anti-rotation manner; the seal 22 is connected to the inner core 23 in an anti-rotation manner; and the inner core 23 can drive the seal 22 to rotate relative to the outer shell 21.

[0036] The side wall of the outer casing 21 is provided with a number of first water passage holes 211, and the side walls of the sealing element 22 and the inner core 23 are respectively provided with a number of second water passage holes 231.

[0037] Rotate the inner core 23. When the first water passage 211 corresponds to the second water passage 231, they are reconstituted into a water passage 200, which is in the direct drinking state. When the first water passage 211 and the second water passage 231 are misaligned, the sealing element 22 closes the first water passage 211, which is in the drinking state. Example

[0038] According to Embodiment 2, this embodiment provides a more specific embodiment of the switching mechanism 2.

[0039] The first water passage 211 and the second water passage 231 are preferably elongated strips in the axial direction and are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction. This structure can ensure the water output when drinking directly.

[0040] Specifically, the outer side of the upper end of the outer shell 21 is provided with a first anti-rotation protrusion 212, and the lower surface of the cover body 1 is provided with a corresponding first anti-rotation groove 102. The first anti-rotation protrusion 212 is inserted into the first anti-rotation groove 102, so that the outer shell 21 cannot rotate relative to the cover body 1.

[0041] Specifically, the lower end of the second water passage hole 231 of the seal 22 is provided with a locking block 221 radially inward. When the seal 22 is combined with the inner core 23, the locking block 221 is inserted into the second water passage hole 231 of the inner core 23, so that the seal 22 and the inner core 23 are connected to prevent rotation, and the inner core 23 can drive the seal to rotate.

[0042] It should be noted that the first water passage 211 and the second water passage 231, in addition to the axially arranged elongated shape mentioned above, can be circular holes or other shapes, or they can be transversely arranged elongated shapes, as long as the side wall of the seal can cover the first water passage 211 when in the drinking state. Example 3

[0043] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of the drive mechanism 3.

[0044] The drive mechanism 3 is used to drive the inner core 23 to rotate. It includes a transmission structure and an operating part 31. The transmission structure is movably mounted on the cover body 1 and is linked with the inner core 23 (the movement of the transmission structure can be rotation, translation, lifting, etc., and the linkage can be gears, linkage rods, etc.). The operating part 31 is at least partially exposed on the cover body 1 to facilitate user operation (the operation can be rotation, sliding, pressing, etc.) and is used to drive the transmission structure.

[0045] Specifically, the inner core 23 also includes a follower 24, which is located below the outer shell 21 and passes through the through hole in the bottom wall of the outer shell 21 and the sealing member 22 to prevent rotation of the inner core 23. The main body of the follower 24 is a water outlet pipe 241 that runs vertically through the inner core. Its lower end is used to connect to the suction pipe, and its upper end is provided with a buckle to engage with the inner core 23. It is also provided with a second anti-rotation protrusion 242 that cooperates with the second anti-rotation groove 233 at the lower end of the inner core 23 to prevent rotation. The outer wall of the water outlet pipe 241 is provided with follower teeth 243 radially outward.

[0046] Specifically, the transmission structure includes at least a driving member 32 and a rotating member 33; the driving member 32 is provided with a driving tooth 321 that meshes with the driven tooth 243 on the driven member 24, and its top is provided with a buckle that engages with the snap hole 331 of the rotating member 33, and a third anti-rotation protrusion 322 that cooperates with the third anti-rotation groove 332 of the rotating member 33 to prevent rotation; the rotating member 33 is rotatably connected in the rotating hole 103 on the top surface of the cover body 1, and the operating part 31 can drive the rotating member 33 to rotate, thereby causing the inner core 23 to rotate; a sealing ring 34 (such as...) can also be fitted on the outside of the rotating member 33. Figure 12 As shown, the rotating part 33 is provided with a sealing ring 34 in an annular groove to facilitate the upper and lower limit of the sealing ring 34. The sealing ring 34 is used to contact and seal with the rotating hole 103.

[0047] Specifically, the cover body 1 includes an outer cover 11 and an inner cover 12. A rotating hole 103 is provided on the top wall of the inner cover 12. The upper end of the rotating component 33 is provided with a radially outward rotating plate 333, which is placed in the gap layer between the bottom wall of the outer cover 11 and the top wall of the inner cover 12. The edge of the top wall of the inner cover 12 is also provided with a sliding groove 121. The operating part 31 is slidably disposed on the sliding groove 121. The side wall of the outer cover 11 is provided with an operating hole 111 corresponding to the sliding groove 121. The lever 311 on the operating part 31 moves in the operating hole 111. By moving the lever 311, the operating part 31 can slide, thereby causing the rotating component 33 to rotate.

[0048] Specifically, the edge end of the rotating plate 333 is provided with a transition groove 334, and the operating part 31 is provided with a corresponding transition shaft 312. The transition shaft 312 is rotatably disposed in the transition groove 334, so that the operating part 31 can drive and control the rotating plate 333. Example 4

[0049] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of filter 6.

[0050] The filter screen 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover body 1. At least a part of the switching mechanism 2 and the driving mechanism 3 are located between the filter screen 6 and the cover body 1. The side wall and / or bottom wall of the filter screen 6 are provided with a number of water outlet holes through which water flows. The bottom wall of the filter screen 6 is also provided with a hole through which the lower end of the water supply pipe 241 passes, so as to facilitate connection with the suction pipe.

[0051] Specifically, the upper edge of the filter screen 6 is provided with several connecting flanges 61, and the lower part of the cover body 1 is provided with a corresponding connecting block 104, and the connecting flanges 61 and the connecting block 104 are engaged and connected. Example 5

[0052] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of the flip cover 4 and the button lock assembly 5.

[0053] The existing dual-drink structure requires each drinking spout to be equipped with a push-button switch and a seal of different shapes. This not only increases the complexity of the structure and the number of parts, leading to higher production costs, but also increases the risk of leakage due to the increased number of sealing points.

[0054] This embodiment only requires one drinking spout 100 and one flip cover 4.

[0055] The flip cover 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the cover body 1, and is used to open and close the drinking spout 100 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown, a sealing spout 100 plug is provided below the flip cover; the front end of the cover body 1 is also provided with a button lock assembly 5 for opening and closing the flip cover 4; specifically, the button lock assembly 5 includes at least a button 51 and a latch 52. The button 51 is used to open and close the flip cover 4; the latch 52 is used to lock the flip cover 4 to prevent accidental activation of the button 51 to open the flip cover 4; when using, the latch 52 must be unlocked first, and then the button 51 must be pressed to open the flip cover 4; this structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The above description is merely a specific example of this utility model and does not constitute any limitation on this utility model. Obviously, those skilled in the art, after understanding the content and principle of this utility model, may make various modifications and changes in form and details without departing from the principle and structure of this utility model. However, these modifications and changes based on the concept of this utility model are still within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
