Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water cup drinking structure technology, and in particular to a drinking structure that can switch between direct drinking and sipping. Background Technology
[0002] As we all know, a water cup is a container used to hold drinking water. Especially for carrying it when going out, water cups are usually designed in a cylindrical shape with a lid on top. To drink water, you need to open the lid to expose the drinking spout.
[0003] Currently, the design of drinking spouts for water cups generally falls into two categories: direct drinking, which involves a single spout for direct drinking, and sipping, which uses a straw placed inside the cup with the other end attached to the lid for sipping. To simultaneously satisfy both direct drinking and sipping needs, some water cups combine these two structures. For example, patent number 201580004239.9 discloses a lid suitable for containers that integrates direct drinking and sipping. However, this patent directly integrates the direct drinking and sipping structures, each with a separate spout, requiring the user to select the correct spout for either direct drinking or sipping. Furthermore, both the direct drinking spout and the sipping spout are always open, which can cause some problems when drinking water. For example, when drinking directly, water in the straw may flow out of the sipping spout, while when sipping, water in the cup may flow out of the direct drinking spout. No matter which spout is selected, there will be water leakage, which will cause inconvenience to users in actual use.
[0004] Therefore, structural optimization is needed for the existing drinking water system. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drinking structure that can switch between direct drinking and sipping.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A drinking structure that can switch between direct drinking and sipping includes a cup body and a lid that can be sealed onto the cup body. The lid is provided with a drinking spout, one end of which is a water outlet and is located on the outer end face of the lid. The lower end of the drinking spout is located on the inner end face of the lid and is provided with a sipping port and a direct drinking port. The sipping port and the direct drinking port are simultaneously connected to the water outlet. A soft rubber stopper is provided at the direct drinking port to seal it. A straw is inserted into the sipping port.
[0008] Preferably, the soft rubber stopper is connected to the drinking spout as a single unit via a soft rubber strip.
[0009] Preferably, the inner end face of the cover is provided with a groove at the soft rubber strip, and the soft rubber strip is pressed and embedded in the groove.
[0010] Preferably, the slot is composed of two mutually symmetrical upright plates, and the inner end face of the upright plates is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion.
[0011] Preferably, the drinking spout is covered with a dust cover at the water outlet.
[0012] Preferably, the drinking spout is made of soft rubber.
[0013] Preferably, the drinking spout has a ring opening on its side, the cover passes through the mounting opening, and the drinking spout is pressed to engage the ring opening with the mounting opening, so that the drinking spout is installed on the cover.
[0014] Because of the above-mentioned solution, this utility model not only has two drinking methods, direct drinking and sipping, but also shares a single spout for both the sipping and direct drinking ports. Thus, even if water flows out of the straw during direct drinking, it can still be consumed directly. Furthermore, the soft rubber stopper can seal the direct drinking port. When only sipping is needed, the direct drinking port can be blocked to prevent it from communicating with the cavity above the water surface, thus preventing water from being drawn out. It also prevents water from flowing directly out of the direct drinking port when tilting to drink. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a drinking structure that can switch between direct drinking and sipping, including a cup body 1 and a lid 2 that can be sealed onto the cup body 1. The lid 2 is provided with a drinking spout 3, which is preferably made of soft rubber. One end of the drinking spout 3 is a water outlet 31 and is placed on the outer end face of the lid 2. The lower end of the drinking spout 3 is placed on the inner end face of the lid 2 and is provided with a sipping port 32 and a direct drinking port 33. The sipping port 32 and the direct drinking port 33 are simultaneously connected to the water outlet 31. A soft rubber plug 4 is provided at the direct drinking port 33 to seal the direct drinking port 33. A straw 34 is inserted into the sipping port 32.
[0025] This embodiment not only provides both direct drinking and sipping methods, but also shares a single spout 31 for the sipping port 32 and the direct drinking port 33. This allows for direct drinking even when water flows out of the straw 34. Furthermore, the soft rubber stopper 4 can seal the direct drinking port 33. When only sipping is required, the direct drinking port 33 can be blocked to prevent it from communicating with the cavity above the water surface, thus preventing water from being drawn out. It also prevents water from flowing directly out of the direct drinking port 33 when the water is tilted for sipping.
[0026] In actual use, you can choose to drink directly or sip according to your preference. When choosing to drink directly, keep the drinking spout 33 unblocked. Then, simply put the lid 2 on the cup body 1 and you can use it. The water in the cup will flow from the drinking spout 33 into the spout 31. Even if water flows out of the straw 34, it will also flow into the spout 31. The user can drink directly by simply pointing their mouth at the spout 31.
[0027] When you need to drink, you need to remove the lid 2, then seal the drinking spout 33 with the soft rubber stopper 4, and finally put the lid 2 back on. When drinking, because the drinking spout 33 is blocked, only the straw 34 is connected to the liquid in the cup body 1, so the user can drink by putting their mouth to the spout 31.
[0028] Furthermore, to prevent the soft rubber stopper 4 from being lost, the soft rubber stopper 4 in this embodiment is connected to the drinking spout 3 as a whole by a soft rubber strip 41. This binds the soft rubber stopper 4 to the drinking spout 3 together, thus preventing the soft rubber stopper 4 from being lost.
[0029] Furthermore, to prevent the soft rubber stopper 4 from accidentally covering the drinking spout 33 during direct drinking, the inner end face of the cover 2 in this embodiment is provided with a groove at the soft rubber strip 41. The soft rubber strip 41 is pressed and embedded in the groove. In this way, after the soft rubber stopper 4 is removed from the drinking spout 33, the groove can hold the soft rubber strip 41 in place to lock the soft rubber stopper 4, preventing it from swinging freely and thus avoiding the soft rubber stopper 4 from accidentally covering the drinking spout 33.
[0030] Furthermore, regarding the specific structure of the card slot, in this embodiment, the card slot may be composed of two mutually symmetrical upright plates 42. The inner end face of the upright plate 42 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 43. When storing, the soft rubber strip 41 needs to be pushed into the space between the two upright plates 42. Then, relying on the elasticity of the upright plate 42 and the arc-shaped protrusion 43, an elastic lock can be formed on the soft rubber strip 41.
[0031] Furthermore, to prevent external contamination of the water outlet 31, a dust cover 5 is provided on the water outlet 31 of the drinking spout 3 in this embodiment.
[0032] Furthermore, the drinking spout 3 is made of soft rubber. To facilitate the installation of the drinking spout 3 and the cover 2, in this embodiment, the drinking spout 3 has a ring 7 on its side. The cover 2 passes through an installation port 8, and the drinking spout 3 is pressed to engage the ring 7 with the installation port 8, thus installing the drinking spout 3 onto the cover 2. This allows for quick installation thanks to the properties of the soft rubber material.
[0033] In addition, it should be noted that a vent hole 6 is also required at the cup lid 2, mainly to allow gas to enter when drinking water, and this vent hole 6 can be covered after the dust cover 5 is closed.
[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
