Referring to
A side of the lip body 1 is provided with an inwards expansion end 16. The inwards expansion end 16 is provided with an inwards expansion groove 15. The inwards expansion groove 15 is disposed on an outer surface of the inwards expansion end 16. In particular, the inner ring 2 is mounted in the inwards expansion groove 15. In addition, a bottom of the inwards expansion groove 15 is provided with an inner groove 14. The first sealing ring 3 is mounted in the inwards expansion groove 14. A top of the first sealing ring 3 towards the inner ring 2 is provided with a protrusion part 31.
Referring to
When the container lip 100 is operated to enable the container 200 to move from the first position to the second position, the lip body 1 slides away from the container body relative to the inner ring 2, and a top surface of the inwards expansion groove 15 gradually moves away from the top of the inner ring 2. The protrusion part 31 is gradually separated from the first step surface 21. A first gap is defined between the first sealing ring 3 and the inner ring 2, such that the gas inside the container 200 is discharged outside, thereby preventing liquid from spurting with the gas. When the container lip 100 is operated to enable the container 200 to move from the second position to the first position, the container lip 1 slides towards the container body 1 relative to the inner ring 2, and the top surface of the inwards expansion groove 15 gradually moves towards the top of the inner ring 2 until it is in contact with the top of the inner ring 2. The protrusion part 31 gradually moves towards and is in contact with the first step surface 21. The first sealing ring 3 plays a role of sealing to enable the container 200 to be not in communication with the external environment, and plays a role of reducing discharging the gas, thereby improving a preservation effect of the liquid in the container 200.
In one embodiment, a clamping strip is integrally formed on a bottom of the inner lip 11. In the present embodiment, the number of the clamping strip 5 is two, and two clamping strips 5 are symmetrically disposed along an axis/of the lip body 1. Two blocks 51 protrude from and are disposed on the two clamping strips 5 facing to each other, respectively. The two blocks 51 are located on a middle part of the two clamping strips 5. In addition, a bottom of the inner ring 2 is provided with a second step surface 24 towards an inner part of the inner ring 2. When the container lip 100 is operated to enable the container 200 to move from the second position to the first position, the two blocks 51 gradually move away from the second step surface 24. When the container lip 100 is operated to enable the container 200 to move from the first position to the second position, the two blocks 51 gradually move towards the second step surface 24 until they are in contact with the second step surface 24, and the two blocks 51 drive the second step surface 24 to move away from the container body, i.e., the inner ring 2 is driven to move away from the container body with the lip body 1 after the two blocks 51 being in contact with the second step surface 24, such that the container lip 100 is further separated from the container body. In the present application, the two clamping strips 5 can be an elastic component. After the two clamping strips 5 being pulled inwards, the inner ring 2 is conducive to being detached from the lip body 1, and being cleaned or replaced. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the number of the clamping strip 5 can be three, four or five, as long as the clamping strip 5 can be in contact with the second step surface 24 to enable the lip body 1 to be capable of driving the inner ring 2 to move, which is not limited herein.
Referring to
In particular, when the two blocks 51 are barely in contact with the second step surface 24, the container 200 is located on a third position.
When the container lip 100 is operated to enable the container 200 to move from the first position to the third position, a distance between the two blocks 51 and the second step surface 24 is gradually reduced until the two blocks 51 is in contact with the second step surface 24, while the second sealing ring 4 is always in tight contact with a container wall of the container 200. The lip body 1 moves away from the container body relative to the inner ring 2, the top of the inwards expansion groove 15 moves away from the top of the inner ring 2. The protrusion part 31 is gradually separated from the first step surface 21, a first gap is defined between the first step surface 3 and the inner ring 2, such that the gas inside the container 200 is discharged from the first gap to the external environment.
When the container lip 100 is operated to enable the container lip 200 to move from the third position to the second position, the two blocks 51 do not move relative to the second step surface 24, the lip body 1 drives the inner ring 2 to slide, the inner ring 2 drives the second step surface 4 to slide to enable the second sealing ring 4 being gradually separated from the container wall of the container 200, and a second gap in communication with the external environment is defined between the second sealing ring 4 and the container wall of the container 200, such that the gas in the container 200 is discharged from the first gap defined between the first sealing ring 3 and the inner ring 2 and the second gap defined between the second sealing ring 4 and the container wall of the container 200 to the external environment.
When the container lip 100 is operated to enable the container 200 to move from the second position to the third position, the inner ring 2 and the lip body 1 move relative to the container body of the container 200, and the second gap between the second sealing ring 4 and the container wall of the container 200 gradually narrows until the second sealing ring 4 is in contact with the container wall of the container 200.
When the container lip 100 is operated to enable the container 200 to move from the third position to the first position, the second sealing ring 4 is always in contact with the container wall of the container 200, and the block 51 gradually moves away from the second step surface 24. The lip body 1 moves relative to the inner ring 2, and the first sealing ring 1 gradually moves towards the first step surface 21 until the first sealing ring 1 is in contact with the first step surface 21, such that the first gap between the first sealing ring 1 and the first step surface 21 is closed. After the first sealing ring 1 being in contact with the first step surface 21, the lip body 1 is further screwed tightly to enable the lip body 1 to press the inner ring 2, and the inner ring 2 presses the second sealing ring 4, such that the second sealing ring 4 is in tight contact with the container wall of the container 200, thereby closing the second gap between the second sealing ring 4 and the container wall of the container 200. After the first gap between the first sealing ring 1 and the first step surface 21 being closed and the second gap between the second sealing ring 4 and the container wall of the container 200 being closed, the container 200 is not in communication with the external environment, facilitating remaining flavor and temperature of the liquid inside the container 200 in a long time, and improving a preservation effect of the liquid in the container 200.
In addition, when the top surface of the inwards expansion groove 15 is in contact with the top of the inner ring 2, the lip body 1 is continuously screwed, the top surface of the inwards expansion groove 15 presses the inner ring 2 to generate pressure, the pressure is further transmitted to the second sealing ring 4 by the restricting ring 22 of the inner ring 2, thereby improving a sealing effect of the container 200.
In one embodiment, a side of the second sealing ring 4 away from the restricting ring 22 is provided with a buffer groove 41, such that the operator can use a relatively small force to enable the second sealing ring 4 to be in contact with or separated from the container wall of the container 200, and a pressing effect between the second sealing ring 4 and the container wall of the container 200 is improved.
In one embodiment, the lip body 1 is composed of an inner lip 11 and an outer lip 12. A top of the inner lip 11 is fixedly connected to a bottom of the outer lip 12. The outer lip 12 is covered the inner lip 11. A gap is defined between the outer lip 12 and the inner lip 11, in particular, the gap is greater than a thickness of the container wall of the container 200. In the present embodiment, an outer surface of the inner lip 11 includes an external thread. The inner lip 11 is threadedly connected to the container body of the container 200. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the lip body 1 can be connected to the container body of the container 200 through locking, snapping, or other common connection methods, which is not limited herein.
The present application further provides a container 200. The container 200 includes a container lip 100. The container 200 has same advantages with the above container lip 100.
The various technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above embodiments have been described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered within the scope of the specification.
The above embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and their descriptions are more specific and detailed, but should not be understood as limiting the scope of the application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skill in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the application, which are within the scope of protection of the application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the attached claims.
