The present disclosure relates to the field of containers, and particularly, to a container lid and a container.
As a tool for daily storage of goods, containers are usually used by users to store solid or liquid food, and container openings are closed through container lids to prevent foreign matters from entering the food in the containers. However, the existing container lids on the market can only play a role of closing the container opening, and do not have an effect of sealing the container opening. Liquid in the container would often seep out through the container opening and the container lid. Furthermore, the odor of the food in the container would also be diffused to the environment through the opening and the lid. For example, when the container is placed in a refrigerator, the odor diffused into the refrigerator through the opening and the lid would pollute the refrigerator. If multiple pieces of food are placed together, the taste of the food is easily tainted by another odor.

In this embodiment, the lid main body 1 is a silica gel lid main body 1 or a rubber lid main body 1. The first elastic side wall and the second elastic side wall are both made of a silica gel material. Through the above structure, silica gel is soft and has good elasticity. The first elastic sidewall and the second elastic side wall which are made of the silica gel material can better press and seal the opening, which further improves the sealing performance of the lid.
The first elastic side wall 3 and the second elastic side wall 4 are arranged in sequence in a direction from a center portion of the lid main body 1 towards an edge portion of the lid main body 1. Through the above structure, the design is reasonable, the structure is simple and compact, and the arrangement of the first elastic side wall and the second elastic side wall is effectively achieved.
In this embodiment, a thickness of the first upper side portion 31 is a first thickness; a thickness of the first lower side portion 33 is a second thickness; and the second thickness is less than the first thickness. A cross section of the first elastic side wall 3 is in a V shape with a wide top and a narrow bottom. Specifically, a thickness of the second upper side portion 41 is a third thickness; a thickness of the second lower side portion 43 is a fourth thickness; and the fourth thickness is greater than the first thickness. Through the above structure, the arrangement of the first elastic side wall and the second elastic side wall is effectively achieved, which further improves the sealing effect of the sealing groove on the container opening.
