Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical fields of food, condiments and fast-moving consumer goods, and in particular to a quantitative cap and packaging component. Background Technology

[0002] In the food, condiment, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors, powder and sauce products are typically packaged in bags, bottles, or boxes. During use, the primary method relies on manually shaking the packaging to dispose of some of the contents, or using a spoon. However, shaking can easily result in over-dispensing, making precise measurement difficult. Using a spoon requires additional tools, increasing the burden and reducing convenience. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a quantitative cover that can increase the amount of contents dispensed at one time and improve ease of use.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides a quantitative cap.

[0005] A metering cap includes a first cap, a second cap, and a rotating component. The first cap has a discharge port and a clearance port. The second cap is used to connect to a packaging container and has an inlet communicating with the packaging container. The first cap and the second cap are connected and form a receiving cavity between them. The discharge port and the inlet are offset. The rotating component is movably disposed within the receiving cavity and contacts and engages with the inner wall of the receiving cavity. A portion of the rotating component protrudes from the clearance port. The rotating component has a metering channel that can selectively communicate with either the inlet or the discharge port when the rotating component is rotated.

[0006] In some embodiments, an annular discharge baffle is also connected to the outward-facing surface of the first cover, the discharge baffle being arranged around the discharge port.

[0007] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the inner wall of the metering channel near the second cover forms a scraping section, which is capable of rotating with the rotating component and moving along the surface of the second cover to scrape material.

[0008] In some embodiments, the scraper has a sloping structure, and one end of the scraper extends to the inlet on the second cover.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first cover includes a first cover plate and an annular first side plate, the first cover plate being provided with the discharge port, the first cover plate being connected to the first side plate to close the first side plate, and the first side plate being provided with the clearance opening.

[0010] In some embodiments, the second cover includes a second cover plate and an annular second side plate. The second cover plate is provided with the feed port. The second cover plate is connected to the second side plate to close the second side plate. The second side plate is used to connect to the packaging container. The end of the first side plate away from the first cover plate is connected to the second cover plate and / or the second side plate. The space between the first cover plate, the first side plate and the second cover plate forms the receiving cavity.

[0011] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the second side plate is provided with threads so that the second side plate is threadedly connected to the packaging container.

[0012] In some embodiments, the second cover plate is connected to the inner wall of the second side plate, and the two ends of the second side plate in the axial direction protrude from the second cover plate, and the space between the first cover plate, the first side plate, the second cover plate and part of the first side plate forms the receiving cavity.

[0013] In some embodiments, the end of the first side plate away from the first cover plate is connected to the second side plate, and the second side plate is used to engage with a recessed groove at one end of the first side plate, the groove extending along the circumferential direction of the second side plate, and the end of the first side plate away from the first cover plate is embedded in the groove.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first side plate has a notch at the end away from the first cover plate, the notch extending to the first cover plate to form the clearance opening, and the slot extends along the circumferential direction of the second side plate in an arc-shaped groove.

[0015] In some embodiments, the rotating component is generally cylindrical, the metering channel extends through the rotating component along its axial direction, and a rotating handle is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating component, the rotating handle protruding from the first cover through the clearance opening.

[0016] One embodiment of this application also provides a packaging component.

[0017] A packaging assembly includes a packaging container and a metering cap as described in any of the above embodiments, the metering cap being connected to the packaging container via a second cap.

[0018] In some embodiments, the metering cap is detachably connected to the packaging container.

[0019] The aforementioned quantitative cap, through the staggered arrangement of the discharge port on the first cap and the inlet port on the second cap, allows for selective feeding or discharging. Specifically, the discharge port is closed during feeding, and the inlet port is closed during discharging. It is movably positioned within the receiving cavity via a rotating component. When the rotating component rotates to align the quantitative channel with the inlet port, the packaging container is inverted, allowing the contents to enter the quantitative channel through the inlet port. The quantitative channel enables quantitative discharging of the contents. The principle of quantitative discharging in this application is as follows: the volume of the quantitative channel is preset as needed. During use, the packaging container is inverted, and by controlling the rotation of the rotating component, the inlet port on the second cap aligns with the quantitative channel. In this process, the contents of the packaging container gradually fill the metering channel under its own weight. Except at the end of the packaging container's lifespan when the contents are low, in the early stages of use, the amount of contents far exceeds the volume of the metering channel. Therefore, during the rotation of the rotating component, the contents of the packaging container can basically fill the metering channel. When the rotating component is rotated until the metering channel is completely misaligned with the inlet, the inlet on the second cover and the metering channel are in a closed state, and the inlet end of the metering channel is closed. Continuing to rotate the rotating component moves the contents along the surface of the second cover. When the metering channel is connected to the outlet, the contents in the metering channel can be discharged from the outlet. Furthermore, when the metering channel is misaligned with both the inlet and outlet, the metering channel is in a completely closed state. By repeatedly rotating the rotating component, the contents can be stirred, improving the uniformity of the contents. This application can achieve metered discharge simply by rotating the rotating component and setting a metering channel of a certain volume, making the operation simple. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] This application provides a quantitative cap to solve at least one of the following technical problems in the use of packaging bags and bottles in the conventional technology: (1) relying on manually shaking the packaging bags and bottles to shake out part of the contents, which easily leads to over-dispensing and makes it difficult to measure the quantity during use; (2) requiring additional auxiliary tools such as spoons when using them, increasing the burden of use and lacking convenience. The quantitative cap will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] The quantitative cap provided in this application embodiment is exemplary; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the quantitative cap provided in an embodiment of this application. The quantitative cap of this application can quickly and quantitatively dispense the contents of packaging bags and bottles.

[0035] To more clearly illustrate the structure of the metering cap, the following description will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] For example, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, a metering cap 10 includes a first cap 100, a second cap 200, and a rotating component 300. The first cap 100 has a discharge port 101 and a clearance port 102. The second cap 200 is used to connect to a packaging container 20. The second cap 200 has an inlet 201 communicating with the packaging container 20. The first cap 100 and the second cap 200 are connected, and a receiving cavity is formed between them. The discharge port 101 and the inlet 201 are offset. The rotating component 300 is movably disposed within the receiving cavity and contacts the inner wall of the cavity. A portion of the rotating component 300 protrudes from the clearance port 102. The rotating component 300 has a metering channel 301. When the rotating component 300 is rotated, the metering channel 301 can selectively communicate with either the inlet 201 or the discharge port 101.

[0037] It should be noted that the above-mentioned misalignment of the discharge port 101 and the inlet port 201 means that the orthographic projection of the discharge port 101 and the orthographic projection of the inlet port 201 do not overlap along the axial direction of the metering cover 10.

[0038] This application enables quantitative material discharge by simply rotating the aforementioned rotating component 300 through a quantitative channel 301 of a certain volume, making operation simple.

[0039] The aforementioned quantitative cover 10, through the staggered arrangement of the discharge port 101 on the first cover 100 and the inlet port 201 on the second cover 200, allows for selective feeding and discharging. Specifically, the discharge port 101 is closed during feeding, and the inlet port 201 is closed during discharging. It is movably positioned within the accommodating cavity via a rotating component 300. When the rotating component 300 rotates to align the quantitative channel 301 with the inlet port 201, the packaging container 20 is inverted, allowing the contents of the packaging container 20 to enter the quantitative channel 301 through the inlet port 201. The quantitative channel 301 enables quantitative discharging of the contents. The principle of quantitative discharging in this application is as follows: the volume of the quantitative channel 301 is preset as needed. During use, the packaging container 20 is inverted, and by controlling the rotation of the rotating component 300, the inlet port 201 on the second cover 200 aligns with the quantitative channel 301. Under its own weight, the contents of the packaging container 20 gradually fill the quantitative channel 301. Except at the end of the use of the packaging container 20 when the contents are less, in the early stage of use, the contents of the packaging container 20 are much larger than the volume of the quantitative channel 301. Therefore, during the rotation of the rotating part 300, the contents of the packaging container 20 can basically fill the quantitative channel 301. When the rotating part 300 is rotated until the quantitative channel 301 is completely misaligned with the feed port 201, the feed port 201 on the second cover 200 and the quantitative channel 301 are in a closed state, and the feed end of the quantitative channel 301 is closed. The rotating part 300 continues to rotate and the contents continue to move along the surface of the second cover 200. When the quantitative channel 301 is connected to the discharge port 101, the contents of the quantitative channel 301 can be discharged from the discharge port 101.

[0040] Furthermore, when the quantitative channel 301 is misaligned with both the inlet 201 and the outlet 101, the quantitative channel 301 is in a completely closed state. By slightly reciprocating the rotating component 300, the contents can be stirred, improving their uniformity. This application enables quantitative discharge by simply rotating the rotating component 300, achieved through a quantitative channel 301 of a certain volume, making operation simple.

[0041] In some of these embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the first cover of a quantitative cover according to an embodiment of this application. The first cover 100 includes a first cover plate 110 and a first annular side plate 120. The first cover plate 110 is provided with a discharge port 101. The first cover plate 110 connects to the first side plate 120 to close the first side plate 120, specifically closing one surface of the first side plate 120. The first side plate 120 is provided with a clearance opening 102.

[0042] In some of these embodiments, see Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the second cover of a quantitative cover according to an embodiment of this application. The second cover 200 includes a second cover plate 210 and an annular second side plate 220. A feed inlet 201 is provided on the second cover plate 210. The second cover plate 210 connects to the second side plate 220 to close the second side plate 220. The second side plate 220 is used to connect to the packaging container 20. One end of the first side plate 120, away from the first cover plate 110, is connected to the second cover plate 210 and / or the second side plate 220. The space between the first cover plate 110, the first side plate 120, and the second cover 210 forms a receiving cavity.

[0043] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the second side plate 220 is provided with threads so that the second side plate 220 is threadedly connected to the packaging container 20. This arrangement facilitates the detachable connection between the packaging container 20 and the metering cap 10, and also facilitates the refilling of the packaging container 20 after the contents of the packaging container 20 are used up, enabling the reuse of the packaging container 20 and the metering cap 10.

[0044] In some embodiments, the second cover plate 210 is connected to the inner wall of the second side plate 220, and the two ends of the second side plate 220 in the axial direction protrude from the second cover plate 210. The space between the first cover plate 110, the first side plate 120, the second cover plate 210, and a portion of the first side plate 120 forms an accommodating cavity.

[0045] In some embodiments, the end of the first side plate 120 away from the first cover plate 110 is connected to the second side plate 220. The second side plate 220 is used to engage with a recessed groove 221 at one end of the first side plate 120. The groove 221 extends along the circumferential direction of the second side plate 220, and the end of the first side plate 120 away from the first cover plate 110 is fitted into the groove 221.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first side plate 120 has a notch at the end away from the first cover plate 110. The notch extends to the first cover plate 110 to form a clearance opening 102. The slot 221 extends in an arcuate groove along the circumferential direction of the second side plate 220.

[0047] In some of these embodiments, see Figure 4As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the rotating component of the metering cap according to an embodiment of this application. The rotating component 300 is generally cylindrical. The metering channel 301 passes through the rotating component 300 along its axial direction. A rotating handle 310 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating component 300, and the rotating handle 310 protrudes from the first cap 100 through a relief opening 102. The size of the relief opening 102 can be set according to the rotating handle 310, or the rotating handle 310 can be adapted to fit the position and size of the relief opening 102. The purpose of the relief opening 102 is to facilitate the partial protrusion of the rotating handle 310, making it convenient for the user to operate the rotating handle 310 to rotate the rotating component 300.

[0048] In some of these embodiments, see Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the rotating handle 310 is provided with serrations, which can increase the friction between the user's fingers and the rotating handle 310.

[0049] In some embodiments, an annular discharge baffle 130 is also connected to the outward-facing surface of the first cover 100, and the discharge baffle 130 is arranged around the discharge port 101.

[0050] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the inner wall of the metering channel 301 near the second cover 200 forms a scraping section 320, which is capable of rotating with the rotating component 300 and moving along the surface of the second cover 200 to scrape material.

[0051] In some embodiments, the scraper 320 has a sloping structure, and one end of the scraper 320 extends to the feed inlet 201 on the second cover 200.

[0052] In some embodiments, the scraper portion 320 has an inwardly concave slope structure.

[0053] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the scraper 320 is a concave curved surface, which increases the volume of the metering channel 301. For example, the scraper 320 has a gradually increasing slope from one end near the outlet 101 to the other end near the inlet 201. This arrangement allows the contents of the outlet 101 to smoothly enter the metering channel 301, and also increases the volume of the metering channel 301.

[0054] One embodiment of this application also provides a packaging component.

[0055] A packaging component, see Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the state of the quantitative cover in one embodiment of the present application during material discharge, including the packaging container 20 and the quantitative cover 10 in any of the above embodiments. The quantitative cover 10 is connected to the packaging container 20 through a second cover 200. Figure 5 The arrows in the diagram indicate the discharge path of the packaging component when it is inverted.

[0056] In some embodiments, the metering cap 10 is detachably connected to the packaging container 20.

[0057] In some embodiments, the packaging container 20 includes containers such as packaging bottles and packaging bags.

[0058] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] (1) Controlling the extrusion amount: By rotating the rotating part 300, the volume of the contents poured out each time can be controlled. The amount of material discharged each time is the volume of the quantitative channel 301. Therefore, the specific amount of material discharged can be controlled by setting the volume of the quantitative channel 301 as needed.

[0060] (2) Effective mixing: The contents can be mixed by the reciprocating rotating part 300 when discharging, preventing the contents from being poured out unevenly.

[0061] (3) Anti-clogging design: Considering the possibility of clogging, a scraper is designed to scrape out the sauce, ensuring that the outlet 101 will not become clogged during long-term use. Optionally, by setting the inner wall of the metering channel 301 to be curved, the sauce can fall into the metering channel 301 better, and the capacity of the contents can be increased within a fixed stroke.

[0062] (4) By setting the misaligned feed inlet 201 and discharge outlet 101, the contents can be smoothly entered into the quantitative channel 301 of the rotating component 300, so that the feeding and discharging actions can only be performed one at a time, and quantitative discharge can be achieved.

[0063] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0064] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0065] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
