This application claims all benefits accruing under 35 U.S.C. § 119 from China Patent Application No. 202123211305.1, filed on Dec. 18, 2021, in the China National Intellectual Property Administration, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a liquid container, in particular to, a container lid and a container.
As people's quality of life improves, so has the convenience of daily necessities. Water containers that can be opened and closed with one hand are gaining popularity. Many containers control the flow of liquid from the container lid by an opening and closing mechanism in the container lid. However, in order to open and close the container lid with one hand, water outlets of those containers are sealed by the opening and closing mechanism from an inner side of the water outlet. However, dust is easy to accumulate on an outside of the water outlet of this type of container lid, and the sanitation is poor.
In view of the problems above, it is necessary to provide a container lid, which can shield a water outlet to prevent dust from falling into the water outlet, and seal the water outlet while ensuring drinking water hygiene. At the same time, it is necessary to provide a container with the container lid.
The present disclosure provides a container lid, including a lid body, a sealing member, a resetting member and a slidable member. The lid body is provided with a water outlet. The sealing member is rotatably connected to the lid body, and configured to seal the water outlet. The resetting member is disposed on at least one of the lid body and the sealing member, wherein the resetting member is capable of driving the sealing member to seal the water outlet. The slidable member is slidably disposed at a first position and a second position on the lid body. When the slidable member is disposed at the first position, the water outlet is sealed by the sealing member from an inner side of the lid body, and the water outlet is shielded by the slidable member from an outer side of the lid body. When the slidable member slides from the first position to the second position, the slidable member drives the sealing member to rotate, the water outlet is in an opened state and the water outlet is not shielded by the slidable member.
Therefore, by shielding and sealing the water outlet with the slidable member and the sealing member, drinking water hygiene of using a container with the container lid can be ensured. Furthermore, it is convenient for the user to open or close the container lid with one hand, providing more facility.
In some embodiments, the resetting member includes a first magnetic portion and a second magnetic portion. The first magnetic portion is disposed in the lid body, and the second magnetic portion is disposed in the sealing member. The sealing member is capable of sealing the water outlet by a magnetic force between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion.
Therefore, by designing the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion, and driving the sealing member to seal the water outlet at the inner side of the lid body by an magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion, water leaking of the container lid caused by sealing failure of the resetting member after long time use can be avoided.
In some embodiments, the first magnetic portion is disposed at a side of the lid body close to the sealing member, and the second magnetic portion is disposed at a first side of the sealing member close to the lid body. The first magnetic portion is disposed corresponding to the second magnetic portion, and the second magnetic portion is disposed close to a rotation axis of the sealing member and along a longitudinal direction of the sealing member.
Therefore, by disposing the first magnetic portion adjacent to the second magnetic portion and correspondingly disposing the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion near the rotation axis of the sealing member, a distance between them can be effectively reduced. By reducing the distance between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion, it can be ensured that the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion is relatively large, so that the sealing member has a relatively good sealing effect.
In some embodiments, the slidable member includes a driving portion. The sealing member is provided with a guiding portion at the first side of the sealing member close to the lid body, when the slidable member slides from the first position to the second position, the driving portion abuts against the guiding portion to drive the sealing member to rotate around the rotation axis of the sealing member.
Therefore, by designing the guiding portion, when the slidable member slides from the first position to the second position, the slidable member can stably drive the drive the sealing member to rotate around the rotation axis of the sealing member, thereby improving the user's experience of using the container lid.
In some embodiments, the driving portion is a protrusion disposed on the slidable member and protruding towards the sealing member. The guiding portion is provided with a guiding surface at a side of the guiding portion close to the slidable member, the guiding surface is formed by a part of the sealing member inclinedly extending along a sliding direction of the slidable member. The driving portion abuts against the guiding surface.
Therefore, by designing the guiding surface, stability of rotation of the sealing member around the pivot driven by the slidable member can be further improved.
In some embodiments, the sealing member is further provided with a matching surface, the matching surface is extended from the guiding surface. When the slidable member is disposed at the second position, a first end surface of the driving portion abuts against the matching surface to ensure the sealing member to rotate and the water outlet being in an opened state.
Therefore, by designing the matching surface, when the slidable member is disposed at the second position, the first end surface of the driving portion can abut against the matching surface, keeping the sealing member in the unsealing state. That is, abutting against between the matching surface and the first end of the driving portion can keep them in a locked state. Therefore, the user can drink water without pushing the slidable member throughout the drinking process, thereby improving the user's convenience.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the driving portion is provided with an abutting surface matching with the guiding surface, and a stopping surface. When the slidable member slides from the first position to the second position, the abutting surface abuts against the guiding surface. The stopping surface is disposed on the first end surface of the driving portion close to the sealing member. When the slidable member is disposed at the second position, the stopping surface abuts against the matching surface.
Therefore, by designing the abutting surface matching with the guiding surface, guiding effect of the guiding surface can be further improved. By designing the stopping surface matching with the matching surface, locking effect between the stopping surface and the matching surface can be further improved.
In some embodiments, the sealing member further includes an abutting portion, wherein the abutting portion is disposed on an end of the sealing member away from the rotation axis of the sealing member, and the guiding portion is disposed on the abutting portion.
Thus, designing the abutting portion can facilitate the sealing member to seal the water outlet at the inner side of the lid body, and facilitate matching between the guiding portion and driving portion.
In some embodiments, the container lid further includes a first gastight member disposed around the abutting portion.
Thus, by designing the first gastight member and disposing the gastight member around the abutting portion, the sealing effect of the sealing member can be better, and water will be harder to leak from the container,
The present disclosure further provides a container, which includes a container body and the container lid described above. The container lid can be detachably disposed on the container body.
Therefore, that designing the container with the container lid not only can prevent dust from accumulating around the water outlet or falling into the water outlet, but also can facilitate opening and closing the container with one hand.

With improvement of people's quality of life, the requirements for the convenience of daily necessities are getting higher and higher, and containers that can be opened and closed with one hand gains popularity. Many container control the flow of liquid from the container lid by an opening and closing mechanism provided on the container lid. However, in order to open and close the container lid with one hand, water outlet of those containers is sealed by the opening and closing mechanism from an inner side of the water outlet. However, dust is easy to accumulate on an outside of the water outlet of this type of container lid, and the sanitation is poor.
In view of the technical problem above, it is necessary to provide a container lid 100, which can shield a water outlet 11 to prevent dust from falling into the water outlet 11 and can be opened and closed with one hand, and effectively solve problems of dust accumulating on the outer side of the container lid 100, and the like. At the same time, the present disclosure provides a container 200 with the container lid 100.
Referring to
In some embodiments, the container lid 100 can include a lid body 10, a sealing member 20, a resetting member 30 and a slidable member 40. The lid body 10 can be provided with a water outlet 11. The sealing member 20 can be rotatably connected to the lid body 10, and configured to seal the water outlet 11. The resetting member 30 can be disposed on at least one of the lid body 10 and the sealing member 20, wherein the resetting member 30 can drive the sealing member 20 to seal the water outlet 11. The slidable member 40 can be slidably disposed on the lid body 10.
The slidable member 40 can be disposed at a first position and a second position relative to the lid body 10. When the slidable member 40 can be disposed at the first position, the water outlet 11 can be in a sealed state and be sealed by the sealing member 20 from an inner side of the lid body 10, and the water outlet 11 can be shielded by the slidable member 40 from an outer side of the lid body 10. When the slidable member 40 slides from the first position to the second position, the slidable member 40 can drive the sealing member 20 to rotate, the water outlet 11 can be in an opened state and the water outlet 11 is not shielded by the slidable member 40.
Referring to
It should be noted that the slidable member 40 can be slidably disposed on the lid body 10. The lid body 10 can be closed or opened by reciprocate sliding of the slidable member 40. When the slidable member 40 is disposed in the first position, the slidable member 40 can effectively shield the water outlet 11 from the outer side of the lid body, and prevent dust from accumulating around the outer side of the water outlet 11 and falling into the water outlet, thereby ensuring drinking water hygiene. In addition, the resetting member 30 can drive the sealing member 20 to abut against the water outlet 11, thereby sealing the water outlet 11 with the sealing member 20. Therefore, the water outlet 11 can be in the sealed state, avoiding water flowing out from the water outlet 11.
When the user needs to drink water, the slidable member 40 can move along a preset path while pushing with one hand, thereby sliding the slidable member 40 from the first position to the second position. When the slidable member 40 is at the second position, the water outlet 11 is not shielded by the slidable member 40 at the outer side of the lid body 10 anymore, and the water outlet 11 is unsealed at the inner side of the lid body 10. Thus, the water outlet 11 can be opened, and water can be flow out. By cooperation between the slidable member 40 and the resetting member 30, the water outlet 11 can be shielded and sealed. This not only can ensure the user's drinking water hygiene while using the container 200 with the container lid 100, but also can facilitate the user opening and closing the container 200 with one hand, providing facility for the user.

In some embodiments, referring to
In order to facilitate the user using the container lid 100 with one hand, a metal elastic member (such as a spring) or a magnet can be used as the resetting member 30, so that the container lid 100 can be opened or closed with one hand. In some embodiments, by designing the first magnetic portion 31 and the second magnetic portion 32, and driving the sealing member 20 to seal the water outlet 11 at the inner side of the lid body 10 by attraction between the first magnetic portion 31 and the second magnetic portion 32, water leaking of the container lid 10 caused by sealing failure of the resetting member 30 after long time use can be avoided.
In the present embodiment, both the first magnetic portion 31 and the second magnetic portion 32 can be magnets attracting each other. The first magnetic portion 31 can be detachable disposed on the lid body 10, and the magnetic portion 32 can be formed on the sealing member 20 by secondary forming. It should be noted that the container lid 100 is generally pretty small. Therefore, it is relative hard to mount the metal elastic member on the container lid 100. However, since the magnet has a relatively small volume, it can be easily mounted on the lid body 10 and the sealing member 20, and can have a higher mounting efficiency and lower production cost. By detachably disposing the first magnetic portion 31 on the lid body 10, the magnet can be magnetized when it is demagnetized, thereby ensuring the sealing member 20 to seal the water outlet 11 at the inner side of the lid body 10 all the time.
It should be noted that since the magnet is easy to be mounted on the lid body 10 and the sealing member 20, and can be mounted on the lid body 10 and the sealing member by secondary forming, it can effectively prevent the resetting member 30 from contacting a content (such as coke, coffee and the like) in the container. Therefore, not only the user's drinking water hygiene can be ensured, but also the user will not need to clean the resetting member 30. It is convenient for the user. In addition, since the lid body 10 can be generally made of materials such as plastic and the like, the resetting member 30 can be prone to fall off from the lid body 10 when the lid body is damaged as striking to a hard object or the ground. The resetting member 30 separating from the lid body 10 can easily be ejected to other places and cause personal injury to the user. By designing a first magnetic portion 31 and the second magnetic portion 32 of the resetting member 30 as magnets, the resetting member 30 will still be attracted together even if they are separated from the resetting member 30, effectively avoiding accidents such has personal injury and the like.
In some embodiments, the first magnetic portion 31 can be disposed at a side of the lid body 10 close to the sealing member 20, and the second magnetic portion 32 can be disposed at a first side of the sealing member 20 close to the lid body 10. The first magnetic portion 31 can be disposed corresponding to the second magnetic portion 32, and the second magnetic portion 32 can be disposed close to the rotation axis of the sealing member 20 along a longitudinal direction of the sealing member 20. It should be understood that by disposing the first magnetic portion 31 adjacent to the second magnetic portion 32 and correspondingly disposing the first magnetic portion 31 and the second magnetic portion 32 near a pivot of the sealing member 20, a distance between the two can be effectively reduced. By reducing the distance between the first magnetic portion 31 and the second magnetic portion 32, it can be ensured that attraction between the first magnetic portion 31 and the second magnetic portion 32 can be relatively large, so that the sealing member 20 can have a relatively good sealing effect.

In some embodiments, referring to
Furthermore, the sealing member 20 can be further provided with a matching surface 212, the matching surface 212 can be extended from the guiding surface 211. When the slidable member 40 is disposed at the second position, a first end surface of the driving portion 41 can abut against the matching surface 212 to ensure the sealing member 20 to rotate being in an opened state. It should be understood that the driving portion 41 is a protrusion disposed on the slidable member 40 and protruding towards the sealing member 20. Therefore, an end surface of the protrusion away from the slidable member 40 and towards the sealing member 20 can be the first end surface. In the present embodiment, the first end surface of the driving portion 41 is not limited, as long as the first end surface of the driving portion 41 can abut against the matching surface 212 and ensure the sealing member 20 to rotate being in an opened state.
Since the resetting member 30 can drive the sealing member 20 to abut against the water outlet 11 at the inner side of the lid body 10, the user needs to push the slidable member 40 all the time to ensure opening the water outlet 11 to drink water. By designing the matching surface 212, when the slidable member 40 is disposed at the second position, the first end surface of the driving portion 41 can abut against the matching surface 212, keeping the sealing member 20 in the unsealing state. That is, abutting between the matching surface 212 and the first end of the driving portion 41 can keep them in a locked state. Therefore, the user can drink water without pushing the slidable member 40 throughout the drinking process, thereby improving the user's convenience.
Furthermore, referring to
Referring to
In the present embodiment, the abutting portion 22 can be not entirely covered on the water outlet 11 at the inner side of the lid body 10, and the first gastight member 50 can seal a part of the water outlet 11 is not covered by the abutting portion 22 (a part of the water outlet 11 away from the rotation axis of the sealing member 20). By sealing the water outlet 11 together with the abutting portion 22 and the first gastight member 50, the sealing effect can be better. In some embodiments, the first gastight member 50 can be silica gel. The sealing member 20 can abut against the water outlet 11 by attraction between the first magnetic portion 31 and the second magnetic portion 32, so that the first gastight member 50 can deform to seal the part of the water outlet 11 that is not covered by the abutting portion 22.
