Description

[Technical field]

[0001] THREADLESS CONTAINER CLOSURE FIELD OF THEINVENTION This invention relates to container structures, and more particularly to threadless container closures. [Background technology]

[0002] Current containers are generally sealed with threaded closures or solid rubber stoppers, but threaded closures require tedious rotation to open and close during use, solid rubber stoppers always require the use of additional tools to open, which is time-consuming, and easy-to-open rubber stoppers always have poor sealing properties and limited service life.

[0003] Therefore, the current container lid has good sealing ability but cannot be opened or closed quickly, and although it may be possible to open and close quickly, it has poor sealing ability and poor heat retention and leakage prevention effects.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, Chinese invention patent CN104803085B discloses a container stopper that can be quickly opened and closed, which includes a cylindrical stopper body, an annular stopper body, and an elastic sealing sleeve, wherein the cylindrical stopper body includes a stopper rod, and the bottom of the stopper rod is provided with a base that can be inserted into or pulled out of the container, the shape and size of the base match the shape and size of the straight part of the container mouth or the smallest cross-sectional part of the container, an annular stopper body is provided above the base, and a bendable elastic sealing sleeve is provided between the annular stopper body and the base, and the annular stopper body and the base can be moved relative to each other along the axial direction of the container into the container under external force to push out the elastic sealing sleeve, and the elastic sealing sleeve can be radially expanded and bent outward to form a sealing sleeve between the inner wall of the container and the outer contour of the base, and the dimension of the outer contour of the sealing sleeve is greater than the dimension of the inner surface of the straight part of the container mouth or the dimension of the inner surface of the smallest cross-sectional part of the container, and the sealing sleeve together with the base forms a sealing layer that can quickly open and close the container. When opening, the external force pushing out the elastic sealing sleeve is released, and the elastic sealing sleeve uses its elastic force to drive the annular plug body to move upward relative to the base, and the elastic sealing sleeve returns to its extended state, allowing the container to be opened quickly.

[0005] Although the container stopper of the above technical solution can be quickly opened and closed, it has an insurmountable defect. When the container stopper needs to close the mouth of a container, due to the space between the cylindrical stopper body and the annular stopper body, the elastic sealing sleeve can expand toward the inner wall of the container and at the same time expand in the opposite direction after being pushed out. As a result, every time it is pushed out, it cannot seal the mouth of the container. When the container stopper needs to be quickly opened, the above technical solution relies on the elastic force of the elastic sealing sleeve itself. However, in reality, the elastic force of the elastic sealing sleeve itself is not enough to lift the annular stopper body, so it is necessary to utilize an upward external force to achieve this.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] The invention will now be further described with reference to the drawings, which are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limitations on this patent.

[0020] In order to more concisely describe the present embodiment, some components that are well known to those skilled in the art but are not related to the main content of the present invention are omitted in the drawings or description. Also, for the convenience of description, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, but do not represent the actual size or overall structure of the product.

[0021] The present invention discloses a threadless container closure, which, as shown in FIG. 1, includes an outer closure body 1, an inner closure body 2, and a sealing sleeve 3 sheathed on the outer wall of the inner closure body 2, the outer closure body 1 is fixedly connected to the inner closure body 2, a first gap 81 for accommodating a container opening 8 is formed between the sealing sleeve 3 and the outer closure body 1, and the closure is inserted into the container opening 8 through the first gap 81.

[0022] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, a drive assembly is installed within the inner cover body 2, which is movable up and down and pushes out the sealing sleeve 3 to expand it radially. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the inner cover body 2 includes a cylindrical body 21 and a first flange 22 whose top protrudes outward, the first flange 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cover body 1, and the sealing sleeve 3 is sheathed on the outer wall of the cylindrical body 21.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 2, the drive assembly includes a drive plate 41, an interlocking member, and a base 44, a slide rod 411 is installed in the drive plate 41, a slide rod hole 23 through which the slide rod 411 passes is installed in the first flange 22, the interlocking member includes an interlocking body 43 that can be inserted into the cylinder 21 of the inner cover body, and a second flange 42 whose top protrudes outward, and the slide rod 411 of the drive plate 41 passes through the slide rod hole 23 from the underside of the first flange 22 and is fixedly connected to the second flange 42, thus, when the drive plate 41 moves upward, it drives the interlocking member to move upward, and when the drive plate 41 moves downward, it drives the interlocking member to move downward.

[0024] Preferably, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, at least two slide rods 411 are installed on the driving plate 41, the first flange 22 is provided with slide rod holes 23 in the same number as the slide rods 411, hooks 412 are installed at the tops of the slide rods 411, and the second flange 42 is provided with locking holes 421 for fixing the hooks 412 in the same number as the slide rods 411.

[0025] The base 44 is installed at the bottom of the interlocking body 43, and the bottom of the sealing sleeve 3 contacts the base 44, and as shown in Fig. 1, when the driving plate 41 is pushed by the insertion of the container opening 8 and moves upward, it drives the interlocking member to move upward, and the base 44 pushes out the bottom of the sealing sleeve 3, causing the sealing sleeve 3 to expand radially outward and downward of the container opening 8, so that the plug cap cannot be pulled out. Preferably, the bottom of the sealing sleeve 3 is provided with a bottom flange 31 protruding inward, which contacts the base 44, and thus it is possible to ensure that the bottom of the sealing sleeve 3 expands radially outward when pushed out.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2, a mating portion 441 is provided on the base 44, an upward recess is formed on the bottom of the interlocking body 43, and a mating opening 431 for receiving the mating portion 441 is provided on the inner wall of the recess.

[0027] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, a fixed member 61 is installed within the inner cover body 2, and a second elastic return member 62 is installed between the fixed member 61 and the bottom of the interlocking body 43, thereby ensuring that the sealing sleeve 3 can quickly and sufficiently return to its initial state after the base 44 releases its extrusion onto the sealing sleeve 3.

[0028] In order for the cap to tightly close the container or for the cap to be pulled out from the container, a restricting member is provided within the interlocking body 43, as shown in FIG. 3, and an operating member 5 capable of locking or unlocking the restricting member is provided on the outer cap body 1.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, two limiting members are installed within the interlocking body 43, and each limiting member includes two limiting rods 45 installed opposite each other. Protruding positioning blocks 46 are respectively installed at the opposing positions of the upper ends of the two limiting rods 45, and a second gap 47 is present between the two positioning blocks 46.

[0030] Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 3, two mounting holes 11 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the outer cover body 1, and the operating member 5 is installed in the mounting holes 11. The operating member 5 includes a button and a first elastic return member 52, and the button includes a pressing portion 51 fixedly connected in order from the outside to the inside, a release portion 53 extending toward the inside of the outer cover body and having a width smaller than the second gap 47, and a locking portion 54 having a width larger than the second gap 47.

[0031] When the operating member 5 is in its initial state, the locking portion 54 is positioned above the restricting member, and as shown in FIG. 1, when the lid is inserted into the container opening 8 to close it, the container opening 8 moves upward against the driving plate 41, and the two opposing positioning blocks 46 move upward and are pushed apart by the locking portion 54 at the second gap 47 and abut against the upper surface of the locking portion 54, and thus the lid blocks the mouth of the container and maintains the closed state.

[0032] As shown in Figure 5, when it is necessary to pull out the cap to open the container opening 8, the button pressing portion 51 of the operating member 5 is pushed inward, the locking portion 54 moves inward, the release portion 53 moves to the position of the second gap 47, the positioning block loses support, and due to the elastic force of the second elastic return member 62, the interlocking member moves downward and the base 44 also moves downward, the pushing against the sealing sleeve 3 is released, the sealing sleeve 3 returns to its initial state, the cap opens and can be pulled out from the mouth of the container, and the first elastic return member 52 presses the button to return to its initial state.

[0033] A through hole is installed at the same position on the bottom of the base 44 and the interlocking body 43, and the two penetrate to form an exhaust hole. An exhaust rod 7 is further installed in the exhaust rod 7. The exhaust rod 7 includes a rod body 72 and a rod cap 73 whose radius is larger than that of the rod body 72 and is installed on its upper end. The upper end of the rod cap 73 abuts against the fixed member 61, and the lower end of the rod body 72 is installed within the exhaust hole.
