Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container having a lid-opening function, and more particularly to a screwless vertical lid opening and closing structure for a container. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, a thermal cup is a water container generally made of ceramic or stainless steel with a vacuum layer added, with a tightly sealed lid on top, and the vacuum insulation layer delays the heat dissipation of the liquid inside, thereby achieving the purpose of heat retention. Most thermal cups generally have a screw structure on the opening of the thermal case when the lid is attached, and the lid and the thermal case are connected by a screw tightening method to achieve heat retention.

[0003] For example, the thermos pot with pressure limiting valve disclosed in application publication number CN117918691A includes a pot lid and a pot body, the pot lid being mounted on top of the pot body, a pressure limiting valve mounted on the top of the pot body and communicating with the interior of the pot body, a pressure relief switch device connected to the pressure limiting valve for opening and closing the pressure limiting valve, and the pressure relief switch device including a housing open on one side, a pressure relief switch shaft, a pressure relief lever shaft, a pressure relief switch, and a pressure relief lever. The housing is mounted on the pot body, a piston at one end of the pressure limiting valve extends into the housing, the pressure relief switch is mounted on the open side of the housing, its upper end connected to the top of the housing via the pressure relief switch shaft, its lower end connected to the bottom end of the pressure relief lever, and the pressure relief lever connected to the center of the housing via the pressure relief lever shaft, with its tip connected to the piston. The present invention has the advantages of pressure relief switch control for steam generated therein, self-heating capability, and ease of use.

[0004] The above-mentioned thermos pot keeps the contents warm by tightening the lid with a case screw and the container lid. However, with this method, the user needs to rotate the lid many times when closing the thermos cup. As the lid is rotated, the hot air inside the thermos cup is likely to escape, making the thermos cup less effective. Moreover, the process of opening and closing the thermos cup requires repeated twisting, which is tedious. Therefore, a new method for opening the container lid needs to be improved.

[0022] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, and the same or similar reference numerals throughout the drawings represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and are intended to explain the embodiments of the present invention, and should not be understood as limitations of the present invention.

[0023] 1-6, a screwless vertical lid opening and closing structure for a container according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 100 and a lid 200. The lid 200 is provided with a sealing device 300, and the lid 200 is sealably attached to the container body 100 via the sealing device 300. The sealing device 300 includes a base 310 and a deformable elastic sealing member 320 fitted onto the base 310, and the base 310 has a groove that is tightly enclosed by the lower end (i.e., movable end) of the deformable elastic sealing member 320. A pull shaft 210 is provided on the base 310, a lock switch 220 is provided on the cover 200, the lock switch 220 and the pull shaft 210 are connected via a rotor 230, a guide surface 240 is provided inside the cover 200, the rotor 230 and the guide surface 240 are rotatably abutted against each other, an opening 241 is provided in the guide surface 240, one end of the pull shaft 210 is drilled through the opening 241 and connected to the rotor 230, and the other end of the pull shaft 210 is connected to the base 310, the lock switch 220 rotates to rotate the rotor 230, and the rotor 230 moves the pull shaft 210 and the base 310 up or down in the axial direction. A restricting block 400 is further provided on the cover 200, and the restricting block 400 can restrict reversal of the lock switch 220.

[0024] When the base 310 connected to the pull shaft 210 moves upward, the deformable elastic sealing member 320 expands radially and bends outward, engaging with the engaging opening 110 on the inner wall of the container body 100, thereby closing the lid 200 and the container body 100. When the base 310 connected to the pull shaft 210 moves downward, the deformable elastic sealing member 320 resets and detaches from the inner wall of the container body 100, thereby opening the lid 200 and the container body 100.

[0025] Specifically, when closing the lid, lock switch 220 is flipped downward, causing rotor 230 to rotate on guide surface 240, which then moves pull shaft 210 and base 310 axially upward, causing deformable elastic sealing member 320 to be pressed and expand radially outward, engaging with engaging opening 110 on the inner wall of container body 100, thereby realizing closing (one-handed operation) of lid 200 and container body 100. When opening the lid, lock switch 220 is flipped upward, causing rotor 230 to rotate on guide surface 240, which then moves pull shaft 210 and base 310 axially downward, causing deformable elastic sealing member 320 to reset and detach from the inner wall of container body 100, thereby realizing opening (one-handed operation) of lid 200 and container body 100. The cover 200 is further provided with a restricting block 400, which can move back and forth to restrict the reversal of the lock switch 220.

[0026] Furthermore, the present invention provides a lock switch 220 to control the opening and closing of the container lid, which is simple and convenient. Furthermore, a sealing device 300 is provided and engages with the engaging opening 110 on the inner wall of the container body 100 to achieve closure, preventing heat from escaping as with the conventional spiral-type lid closure. The provision of a restricting block 400 allows for simple and quick locking of the lock switch 220, preventing accidental touching and opening of the lock switch 220, which would otherwise cause water in the container to spill out.

[0027] 4, in another embodiment of the present invention, a slide protrusion 221 is provided on the lock switch 220, a slide groove 410 is provided on the bottom of the restriction block 400, and an auxiliary limiting position 250 is provided on the cover 200, the slide protrusion 221 and the slide groove 410 are fitted together, and the restriction block 400 can slide between the lock switch 220 and the auxiliary limiting position 250. When the entire restriction block 400 is located on the lock switch 220, the lock switch 220 can be reversed, and when one end of the restriction block 400 is located on the lock switch 220 and the other end is located on the auxiliary limiting position 250, the lock switch 220 is restricted from being reversed.

[0028] 2-4, the cover 200 has a cavity therein, and the guide surface 240 divides the cavity into two parts (i.e., an upper cavity and a lower cavity). The rotor 230 is located in the upper cavity, the sealing device 300 is located in the lower cavity, and the pull shaft 210 passes through the upper and lower cavities. When the entire restricting block 400 is located at the locking switch 220, the locking switch 220 can rotate the restricting block 400. When one end of the restricting block 400 is located at the locking switch 220 and the other end is located at the auxiliary limiting position 250, the end of the auxiliary limiting position 250 forms a barrier to prevent the restricting block 400 from being rotated, which in turn prevents the locking switch 220 from being rotated. At this time, the slide protrusion 221 and the slide groove 410 should be tightly fitted together.

[0029] As shown in Figures 2-4, the lock switch 220 is provided with a first elastic protrusion 222, and the restricting block 400 is provided with a second elastic protrusion 420 and a third elastic protrusion 430 at the bottom thereof. During movement of the restricting block 400, the first elastic protrusion 222, the second elastic protrusion 420, and the third elastic protrusion 430 are capable of relative deformation, resulting in a change in positional order. As can be seen from Figures 2 and 3, the second elastic protrusion 420 and the third elastic protrusion 430 are both located to the left of the first elastic protrusion 222, which is in the locked state. The first elastic protrusion 222 exerts a restricting effect on the third elastic protrusion 430, maintaining the restricting block 400 in the locked state. When the user applies force to push the restricting block 400 to the right, the second protrusion 420 and the third protrusion 430 are positioned to the right of the first protrusion 222, causing a change in position order. At this time, the lock switch 220 is in the unlocked state, and the first protrusion 222 acts as a restrictor on the second protrusion 420, maintaining the restricting block 400 in the unlocked state.

[0030] The lock switch 220 is provided with a first stopper 223, and the restriction block 400 is provided with a second stopper 440 at its bottom. The first stopper 223 and the second stopper 440 are fitted together to prevent the restriction block 400 and the lock switch 220 from sliding off relative to each other or being touched to open, thereby providing double security.

[0031] A rib 251 is provided at the limiting auxiliary position 250. Specifically, the rib 251 is used to ensure that the restricting block 400 does not fall off and moves smoothly, and also to increase the damping feeling when pushing.

[0032] 3 and 6, in another embodiment of the present invention, a central portion of rotor 230 has a relief portion 231, and one end of pull shaft 210 is inserted into relief portion 231 to connect to rotor 230. Rotor 230 has a first insertion hole 232 extending therethrough, and one end of pull shaft 210 has a second insertion hole 211 extending therethrough. When one end of pull shaft 210 is inserted into relief portion 231, first insertion hole 232 and second insertion hole 211 are aligned with each other, and insertion pins are drilled through first insertion hole 232 and second insertion hole 211 to connect pull shaft 210 to rotor 230. Specifically, a central portion of rotor 230 has relief portion 231, and one end of pull shaft 210 is inserted into relief portion 231 to connect to rotor 230. This connection method is stable and saves space.

[0033] 1-5, in another embodiment of the present invention, rotor 230 is an elastic member, and the bottom and one side of rotor 230 are smoothly arc-shaped. Specifically, the bottom and one side are smoothly arc-shaped, which is advantageous for sliding with guide surface 240, making rotor 230 rotate more smoothly, and making lid 200 open and close more smoothly.

[0034] In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1-5 , a spring 260 is fitted onto the pull shaft 210, with one end of the spring 260 abutting against the base 310 and the other end abutting against the guide surface 240. Specifically, the spring 260 is designed to assist resetting. When the pull shaft 210 and the base 310 move upward in the axial direction, the spring 260 is compressed, generating a recovery force. When the lock switch 220 is closed, a force is required and a damping feeling is felt. When the lid is opened, the downward movement of the pull shaft 210 is accelerated, accelerating the contraction of the deformable elastic sealing member 320 and its detachment from the inner wall of the container body 100. At the same time, the lock switch 220 and the edge of the lid 200 are engaged with each other. The lock switch 220 may have an engaging protrusion, an engaging groove on the edge of the lid 200, or the lock switch 220 may have an engaging groove. In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, a filter mesh 270 is further provided at the bottom of the cover 200. Specifically, the filter mesh 270 is used to filter water-infused tea, such as tea leaves and nutritional products, to achieve solid-liquid separation. [Explanation of symbols]
