Description

An inverted valve cover Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid containers, and in particular to an inverted valve cover. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most bottled containers for holding liquids are designed with the cap facing up and the bottle bottom down. When using them, the cap is opened, the bottle is turned upside down, and the liquid inside flows out under gravity, or the bottle is squeezed to promote the flow of liquid. However, for some highly viscous liquids, such as dish soap, this design means that after the bottle is turned upside down, it takes a while for the liquid to flow from the inside of the bottle to the outlet, resulting in a poor user experience. In addition, it is inconvenient to open the cap and turn the bottle upside down every time you use it.

[0003] Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following detailed description of a specific embodiment of "an inverted valve cover" of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the inverted valve cover includes a push plate 100 and a valve cover seat 200 detachably and fixedly connected to the liquid storage bottle 300. The valve cover seat 200 is provided with a liquid outlet 201 that mates with the bottle opening 301 of the liquid storage bottle 300. A one-way liquid outlet structure is provided between the liquid outlet 201 and the bottle opening 301. The one-way liquid outlet structure is preferably a one-way rubber valve or a silicone valve, so that the liquid inside the liquid storage bottle 300 will flow out from the liquid outlet 201 when the bottle body is squeezed, preventing liquid leakage when inverted. Parallel sliding grooves 203 are provided on both sides of the liquid outlet 201. The push plate 100 is provided with a liquid outlet hole 101, and protruding ribs 103 are provided on both sides of the push plate 100. The protruding ribs 103 penetrate into the sliding grooves 203, and push... Plate 100 slides back and forth along groove 203 via protrusion 103. Push plate 100 slides to the same position, and liquid outlet 101 on push plate 100 overlaps or misaligns with liquid outlet 201. When liquid outlet 101 overlaps with liquid outlet 201, the body of storage bottle 300 is squeezed, and liquid flows out after passing through bottle mouth 301, one-way liquid outlet structure, liquid outlet 201 and liquid outlet 101, so that liquid can be discharged immediately after squeezing the bottle. When liquid outlet 101 and liquid outlet 201 are misaligned, push plate 100 abuts against and seals liquid outlet 201. Even if the bottle body is accidentally squeezed, liquid will not flow out from liquid outlet 201, so as to achieve further sealing and prevent liquid leakage when the bottle body is inverted or when the bottle body is accidentally squeezed.

[0023] It should be noted that, referring to Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the liquid storage bottle 300 and the inverted valve cap are in a static state with the liquid storage bottle 300 on top and the valve cap on the bottom. The liquid inside the bottle gathers at the valve cap position under the action of gravity. Therefore, when in use, simply push the push plate 100 to align the liquid outlet 101 on the push plate 100 with the liquid outlet 201 on the valve cap seat 200, and squeeze the bottle body to achieve rapid liquid dispensing. There is no need to invert the bottle body for use, making it convenient and providing a good user experience. Furthermore, when not storing for a long period of time, but temporarily placing the bottle after opening, it is not necessary to push the push plate 100 to the position of closing the liquid outlet 201, because the one-way liquid dispensing structure also has the function of preventing liquid leakage when inverted. In this way, when using the bottle again after a short period of time, it is possible to simply pick it up, squeeze, and dispense the liquid immediately, making it even more convenient to use.

[0024] Referring further to Figure 2, in this embodiment, a disposable limiting member 102 is provided at the front end of the push plate 100. One end of the disposable limiting member 102 is glued to the push plate 100, and the joint has a thinned adhesive section that is easy to tear off when subjected to lateral force. The other end of the disposable limiting member 102 abuts against the inner wall of the valve cover seat 200 to restrict the push plate 100 from sliding along the slide groove 203 to open the liquid outlet 201. In use, it is only necessary to tear off and remove the disposable limiting member 102 to slide the push plate 100 to open the liquid outlet 201. This design can prevent the push plate 100 from accidentally sliding to the position of opening the liquid outlet 201 before the product is opened and used, thus preventing possible liquid leakage problems.

[0025] More specifically, in this embodiment, a fixing groove 204 is provided around the liquid outlet 201, and a sealing ring 205 is provided in the fixing groove 204. The sealing ring 205 is located between the push plate 100 and the liquid outlet 201, further increasing the sealing performance of the push plate 100 to the liquid outlet 201. The push plate 100 is provided with anti-slip texture 104 to increase the friction between the user's fingers and the push plate 100, making it easier to push the push plate 100. A ventilation hole 206 is provided on the side wall of the valve cover seat 200, or a notch is provided on the top of the valve cover seat 200. In this way, when the liquid storage bottle 300 and the valve cover are inverted, the moisture and liquid components remaining at the liquid outlet 201 and the liquid outlet hole 101 inside the valve cover can be evaporated more quickly, avoiding the growth of bacteria due to prolonged dampness.

[0026] Referring further to Figures 3 and 4, in another embodiment, the valve cover seat 200 is also provided with a removable cap 400. The cap 400 covers the bottom surface of the valve cover seat 200, which has a certain aesthetic effect. Moreover, the surface area of ​​the cap 400 in contact with the ground is larger than that of the valve cover seat 200, making it more stable when placed and less prone to tipping over. Furthermore, the cap 400 is provided with a boss 401, and the liquid outlet 101 extends outward from the protruding hole wall 105. When the liquid outlet 101 overlaps with the liquid outlet 201, the cap 400 covers the bottom surface of the valve cover seat 200, and the boss 401 is matched with the protruding hole wall 105, which can block the liquid outlet 101, replacing the sealing function of the push plate 100. When in use, the cap 400 can be removed and the body of the liquid storage bottle 300 can be squeezed to dispense the liquid. When it is necessary to leave it still for a long time, the cap 400 can be sealed to the bottom surface of the valve cover seat 200 and placed upside down.

[0027] Furthermore, parallel sliding walls 202 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outlet 201, and a sliding groove 203 is arranged on the sliding wall 202; a stabilizing element 402 is also symmetrically arranged on the cap 400. The stabilizing element 402 can abut against or be inserted into the sliding wall 202 to form a stable horizontal bottom surface, which is conducive to the stable placement of the liquid storage bottle 300 and the inverted valve cap.

[0028] It should be noted that the contact or fit between the cover 400 and the valve cover seat 200 varies depending on the condition of the valve cover seat 200: When the push plate 100 moves to a position where the outlet hole 101 and the outlet port 201 are misaligned, and the inverted valve cover is in the closed state, the fit between the cover 400 and the valve cover seat 200 is an interference fit; when the push plate 100 moves to a position where the outlet hole 101 and the outlet port 201 coincide, and the inverted valve cover is in the open state, when the cover 400 is placed on the valve cover seat 200, there are two possibilities: one is that the stabilizer 402 just avoids the sliding wall 201, in which case the arrow on the inner side of the cover 400 and the arrow on the push plate 100 are in the correct position. When the valve cap 400 and the bottle body are inverted (see Figures 3 and 4 for details), the protrusion 401 on the cap 400 enters the protruding hole wall 105, and the two end faces abut against each other. Therefore, it is not easy for the valve cap seat 200 and the bottle body assembly to stand stably when inverted. Therefore, once the inverted valve cap is put into use, when inverted, the cap 400 needs to be rotated to another state. At this time, the arrow on the inside of the cap 400 and the arrow on the push plate 100 are parallel (see Figures 3 and 4 for details), so that the protrusion 401 on the cap enters the protruding hole wall 105, and the two end faces abut against each other. At the same time, the stabilizer 402 and the sliding wall 201 are in stable contact, playing a supporting and balancing role, ensuring that the valve cap and the bottle assembly are stable and not tilted when inverted. In addition, the inner outer edge of the cap 400 is provided with an annular protrusion, which can be used as a container. When the bottle and valve cap assembly is inverted, if the bottle body is accidentally squeezed, causing the one-way valve or the seal between the protrusion 401 and the protruding hole wall 105 to fail, the liquid can be collected by the cap 400 and will not contaminate the countertop (ground).
