The present invention relates to a bottle cap structure, and more particularly to the bottle cap capable of vacuuming the bottle to provide a preservation effect of the food stored in the bottle, and the bottle has a pressure relief function, so that the bottle cap can be opened easily, and the bottle cap also has a drinking water pipe, so that a flip cover of the drinking water pipe can be opened for drinking.
In general, portable fruit juice devices, cups, or bottles come with a small body and a small base, so that they can be carried out for use conveniently. As disclosed in P.R.C. Pat. Application No. CN201520943711.2 entitled “Portable blender with a juicing function” and filed by the inventor of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “Prior Art” as shown in
Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present invention to provide a bottle cap structure capable of vacuuming a bottle after the bottle cap structure is combined with the bottle to provide a preservation effect of the food stored in the bottle, and the bottle has a pressure relief function, so that the bottle cap can be opened easily, and the bottle cap also has a drinking water pipe, so that a flip cover of the drinking water pipe can be opened for drinking.
To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present invention provides a bottle cap comprising a vacuum unit, a pressure relief unit and a drinking water pipe unit, such that after the bottle cap is combined with a bottle, the vacuum unit vacuums the bottle to preserve the food stored in the bottle; and the pressure relief unit may be operated to release the air pressure inside the bottle in order to open the bottle cap, or open a flip cover of the drinking water pipe to drink the food such as a fruit juice or water stored in the bottle. This invention has the effect of maintaining the food stored in the bottle fresh and providing a convenient use for drinking.
The technical characteristics, contents, advantages and effects of the present invention will be apparent with the detailed description of a preferred embodiment accompanied with related drawings as follows.
With reference to
A cap 10 has a main body 11 and a main body cover 12 combined with the top of the main body 11 by a snapping method, wherein the main body 11 is substantially in the shape of a cover having an internal thread surface 110 at the bottom of the main body 11 for combining a bottle mouth 2a of a bottle 2 and a configuration surface 111 at the top of the main body 11 for covering the bottle mouth 2a, The configuration surface 111 has a cylindrical piston cylinder 112 extended upwardly therefrom and the configuration surface 111 disposed inside the piston cylinder 112 has a vent 113 (as shown in
A vacuum unit 20 is installed to the inner side of the main body cover 12 and comprises a one-way outlet valve 21 and a piston device 22. The one-way outlet valve 21 is installed to the inner side of the configuration cylinder 114 and comprises a valve stem 210, a sealing ring 211 and a first spring 212. The valve stem 210 is disposed at the top of the vent 113, and the bottom has a tapered base 210a. The sealing ring 211 is sheathed on the peripheral surface of the base 210a and protruding outwardly to touch the arc surface 114a. The first spring 212 is sheathed between the base 210a and the lid 115, so that the first spring 212 permanently pushes the valve stem 210 downward to achieve the effect of blocking the vent 113. The piston device 22 is installed in the piston cylinder 112 and disposed at a position with an interval apart from the top of the one-way outlet valve 21, and the piston device 22 comprises a piston rod 220, and a piston 221, a pull handle 222 and a second spring 223 added to the outer side of a convex wall 220a at the bottom of the piston rod 220. The top of the piston rod 220 is passed through a notch 121 of the main body cover 12 and disposed at the top of the main body cover 12, and the bottom of the pull handle 222 is coupled to the top of the piston rod 220. After the pull handle 222 is hooked by a user's finger and lifted upward, the piston rod 220 is driven to slide upward. The outer edge of the piston 221 is in a tapered shape and in contact with an inner cylindrical wall of the piston cylinder 112. The second spring 223 is sheathed on the outer side of the piston rod 220, and the top of the second spring 223 touches the main body cover 12 for positioning, and the bottom of the second spring 223 is contacted and coupled to the top surface of the convex wall 220a disposed at the bottom of the piston rod 220, so that the second spring 223 has a force for permanently pushing the piston rod 220 downward.
A pressure relief unit 30 comprises a pressure relief valve 31, a control board 32 and a third spring 33, and is installed in the main body cover 12, and the configuration surface 111 has a penetrating pressure relief hole 117 configured to be corresponsive to the pressure relief valve 31. The pressure relief valve 31 has a pressure relief shaft 310, and the bottom of the pressure relief shaft 310 passes into the pressure relief hole 117, and an air barrier ring 311 is disposed on the outer side of the top of the pressure relief hole 117. The control board 32 has an end fixed to the outer wall of the pressure relief shaft 310 and the other end passing out from the outer side of the main body cover 12 and has a bent section 320 attached to the outer wall of the main body cover 12. The third spring 33 is sheathed on the outer side of the pressure relief shaft 310 and has a top touching the main body cover 21 for positioning and a bottom touching the control board 32, so that the third spring 33 has the effect of permanently pushing the pressure relief valve 31 downward to block the pressure relief hole 117.
A drinking water pipe unit 40 comprises a drinking water pipe 41 and a flip cover 42. The drinking water pipe 41 is in a tubular shape penetrating from top to bottom, and formed by partitioning the main body 11, and the upper pipe opening 410 of the drinking water pipe 41 penetrates the main body cover 12, and the lower pipe opening 411 is communicated to the bottle 2. The flip cover 42 has an end pivotally coupled to the top surface of the main body cover 12 by a pivot shaft and the other end provided for sealing and covering the upper pipe opening 410.
After the aforementioned components are assembled sequentially as shown in
The application of the bottle cap structure is described below:
1. The bottle 2 is vacuumed as shown in
2. When it is necessary to open the bottle cap 1 or drink the fruit juice, the control board 32 is lifted up to overcome the resilience of the third spring 33 as shown in
In summation of the description above, the present invention has the following advantageous effects.
1. The bottle cap can be combined with a bottle to vacuum the bottle in order to keep the food stored in the bottle fresh and provide a long expiration date of the food.
2. In addition to the feature of the bottle cap that can be opened for drinking a fruit juice, the drinking water pipe can be used as a straw for drinking after the flip cover is opened.
While the present invention has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention set forth in the claims.
