Description

A cup lid with a retractable straw Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cup lids, and in particular to a cup lid with a retractable straw. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, people are paying more and more attention to food hygiene. When people are out and about, water cups are almost essential drinking containers, especially for infants and teenagers, who need to drink a certain amount of water every day.

[0003] As an essential accessory for water bottles, cup lids commonly include straw lids, direct drinking lids, and dual drinking lids. In common straw lids, the length of the straw extending out is relatively fixed during use. The straw part extending out of the lid cannot be effectively stored, causing the straw part to become an obstacle during the carrying of the water bottle. The straw part extending out of the lid also increases the overall volume of the water bottle, making it inconvenient to carry, store, and transport. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a retractable straw cup lid, which solves the problem that the inability to adjust the straw's extension length makes it inconvenient to carry, store, and transport.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a cup lid with a retractable straw, including a lid body, a vertical channel provided on the lid body, a straw body movably disposed in the vertical channel, a positioning plate provided on the straw body, a guide rail provided horizontally on the positioning plate, a rotating disk rotatably disposed on the lid body, an eccentric block provided on the rotating disk, the eccentric block being connected to the guide rail, a screw cap rotatably connected to the lid body, the screw cap being provided with an arc-shaped toothed surface, and a gear transmission mechanism being provided between the arc-shaped toothed surface and the rotating disk.

[0006] With the above technical solution, when the user operates the screw cap to rotate, the rotating disk is rotated through the gear transmission mechanism. When the rotating disk rotates, the height of the eccentric block changes accordingly. Then, the straw body is raised and lowered by the cooperation of the eccentric block and the horizontally set guide rail. When the user does not need to drink water, the straw body can be retracted by rotating the screw cap, which reduces the overall volume and makes it easier to carry, store and transport.

[0007] Furthermore, the gear transmission mechanism includes a transition member and a driven bevel gear. The transition member includes a spur gear portion and a bevel gear portion. The rotating disk is fixedly connected to the driven bevel gear. The spur gear portion meshes with the arc-shaped tooth surface, and the bevel gear portion meshes with the driven bevel gear.

[0008] Through the above technical solution, transmission is achieved by the meshing of the driven bevel gear and the transition piece, as well as the meshing of the transition piece and the swivel cap. The connection relationship is very stable and the transmission efficiency is high.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes an intermediate shaft, one end of which is connected to the rotating disk, and the other end of which is connected to the driven bevel gear. A fixing seat is provided on the cover, and an installation notch is provided on the fixing seat. The intermediate shaft overlaps within the installation notch.

[0010] With the above technical solution, the intermediate shaft and the mounting notch are stably connected, and the rotating disk and the driven bevel gear cylinder rotate and move very stably.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided on the cover, and the positioning plate is always limited between the limiting block and the rotating disk.

[0012] The above technical solution limits the lateral swing of the positioning plate, making the movement of the straw more stable.

[0013] Furthermore, the eccentric block includes a neck and a head, one end of the neck is connected to the head, the other end of the neck is connected to the rotating disk, the guide rail is a laterally extending hole, the neck passes through the guide rail, and the diameter of the head is greater than the width of the guide rail.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the neck always passes through the guide rail, and the head ensures a stable connection between the eccentric block and the positioning plate, avoiding the situation where the eccentric block and the positioning plate detach from each other.

[0015] Furthermore, the screw cap is arranged in a ring shape, the cap body is provided with an annular rib, and the screw cap is provided with an annular notch. The annular rib and the annular notch are fitted together and rotated together.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the annular notch and the annular rib are matched and connected to each other, reducing the radial offset of the cap and making the installation state of the cap more stable.

[0017] Furthermore, a first positioning edge is provided on the inner side of the screw cap, an upper cover is connected to the cap body, and a second positioning edge is provided on the periphery of the upper cover, with the second positioning edge located above the first positioning edge.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the second positioning edge limits the first positioning edge, preventing the cap from detaching independently and making the cap installation state more stable.

[0019] Furthermore, a sliding piece is slidably provided on the upper cover, a hook is provided on the sliding piece, and a buckle is provided on the cover body. The hook and the buckle are detachably connected. An avoidance hole is provided on the upper cover for the top of the straw to extend out, and a sealing body for sealing the avoidance hole is slidably provided on the upper cover.

[0020] With the above technical solution, when the user operates the sliding plate to make it displace, causing the hook and buckle to disengage, the top cover separates from the cover body, allowing the user to clean the inside of the cover body, making it more hygienic; the sealing body can seal the avoidance hole, preventing external dust and dirt from contacting the straw body when it is not in use, making it more hygienic.

[0038] When the user rotates the cap 7, the rotating disk 5 is rotated through the gear transmission mechanism. When the rotating disk 5 rotates, the height of the eccentric block 6 changes accordingly. Then, the straw body 2 is raised and lowered by the cooperation of the eccentric block 6 and the horizontally set guide rail 4. When the user does not need to drink water, the straw body 2 can be controlled to retract by rotating the cap 7, which reduces the overall volume and makes it easier to carry, store and transport.

[0039] The preferred guide rail 4 extends in the horizontal direction.

[0040] The preferred arc-shaped tooth surface 701 is arranged in a ring shape in the circumferential direction.
