The disclosure relates to a water cup lid, in particular to an auto-opened water cup lid with press-type nozzle.
Conventional water cups typically include a cup body and a cup lid. The cup body and the cup lid are screwed together, and the cup lid needs to be screwed out each time to let water out, which is troublesome to operate. Therefore, a cup lid with a straw is invented. A straw hole is provided on the cup lid, a straw is arranged in the straw hole, and a straw cover is arranged on the lid. When not in use, the straw is covered to prevent the water in the water cup from pouring out through the straw, and the straw cover covers the straw to avoid impurities such as dust from adhering to the drinking part of the straw. However, each time when the structure is used for drinking water, the straw cover needs to be flipped open by hand, and then the straw is raised to allow people to drink the water, and thus there is still some inconvenience.
The purpose of the disclosure is to overcome the shortcomings of the related art, and to provide an auto-opened water cup lid with press-type nozzle of which the nozzle and the nozzle cover can be automatically opened by pressing a button, and the opening direction of the nozzle is opposite to the handle direction, which is convenient to operate and facilitates users to drink water.
The technical solution of the auto-opened water cup lid with press-type nozzle is characterized in including a cup lid and a handle ring formed on one side of the cup lid. A mounting platform is formed in the cup lid, and a perforation, an inlet hole and a button slot are formed in the mounting platform. A straw made of soft rubber material is disposed in the perforation, and the straw is provided with a nozzle. A rotating sleeve made of a hard plastic material is formed in an outer sleeve of the straw. The rear end of the nozzle is in sealing contact with the front part of the rotating sleeve. A front pin and a rear pin are formed on two sides of the outer wall of the rotating sleeve, and the front pin is connected to the nozzle cover. A front pin hole and the hook slot are formed in the nozzle cover, and the front pin hole cooperates with the front pin. A rear pin hole is provided on the upper inner wall of the mounting platform of the cup lid, and the rear pin hole cooperates with the rear pin. The button slot is located on one side of the handle ring, and the upper end of the button slot is formed with a position-limiting hole. The spring is arranged in the button slot, and a button is arranged on one side of the button slot. The button has a pin and a pulling plate. The pin has a barb. The pin is inserted into the button slot, and the barb cooperates with the position-limiting hole. The pulling plate is provided with a hook. When the nozzle cover is closed, the hook cooperates with the hook slot on an inner wall of the nozzle cover, one side of the spring is in contact with the button slot, and the other side of the spring is in contact with the button.
The disclosure discloses an auto-opened water cup lid with press-type nozzle. When in use, the button is pressed with a finger, the button presses the spring inward, and the button simultaneously drives the pin and the pulling plate to move inward. The pin drives the barb to move inward along the position-limiting hole. The pulling plate drives the hook to move inward. The hook on the pulling plate is disengaged inwardly from the hook slot on the inner wall of the nozzle cover. On this occasion, the bent straw drives the nozzle to rebound upward by the restoring force. The nozzle drives the rotating sleeve to rotate upward around the rear pin. The rotating sleeve drives the nozzle cover to rotate upward such that the nozzle and the nozzle cover are opened, and the user can drink the water in the water cup through the nozzle. When not in use, the nozzle cover and the nozzle are pressed back with fingers such that the nozzle cover, the nozzle and the rotating sleeve are rotated downward around the rear pin. When the hook slot of the nozzle cover contacts the hook of the button, the finger presses lightly to make the hook to be engaged in the hook slot. The spring pushes the button outward under the effect of the restoring force, and the button drives the pulling plate to move outward. The pulling plate drives the hook to move outward, so that the hook can be hooked to the hook slot to prevent the nozzle cover from being easily opened. In the auto-opened water cup lid with press-type nozzle proposed in the solution, one feature is that the hook on the button cooperates with the hook slot of the nozzle cover, and the nozzle cover is connected to the straw through the rotating sleeve. When the hook is disengaged from the hook slot, the resilient force of the straw drives the nozzle, the rotating sleeve and the nozzle cover to be opened automatically. The nozzle can be opened by simply pressing the button, which is easy to operate and convenient for user to drink water. Another feature is that the button is disposed on one side of the handle ring and highly invisible, which allows for beautiful appearance. The head of the nozzle faces the button and is opposite to the handle direction after being opened, thereby preventing the handle ring from blocking the nozzle and thus being easy for user to drink water.
In the auto-opened water cup lid with press-type nozzle of the disclosure, the straw is provided a retaining ring, and the retaining ring is limitedly in contact with the lower end of the perforation. The retaining ring limits the position of the straw so that the straw is not pulled out during closing and opening. A bump is formed under the nozzle. The bump contacts the inlet hole when the nozzle is closed downward. When not in use, the nozzle is closed downward, and the bump on the nozzle presses the inlet hole to reduce emission of heat, and can prevent water from pouring out from the inlet hole. When the nozzle is rotated upward and the user drinks water with the nozzle, the air can enter from the inlet hole to avoid negative pressure from being generated in the cup due to sucking of water. The upper outer wall of the cup lid is provided with a soft rubber layer, which provides a good sense of touch and is easy for user to hold.
