The present invention relates to the field of containers, and in particular to a cup with a cup lid and a detachable and washable cup lid.
Generally, a cup lid in the prior art includes an outer cover, an inner bolt directly fixed to the outer cover, and other structures. Such structures cannot be disassembled due to a fixed connection thereamong. When the cup lid covers a cup body, the cup lid and the cover body are in a threaded connection, which causes much inconvenience in covering and uncovering the cup. Additionally, since the inner bolt under the outer cover goes deep into the cup body and comes into contact with the liquid in the cup body, the cup lid can hardly be detached for washing and is thus prone to dirt accumulation.
The objective of the present invention is to provide a detachable and washable cup lid aiming at the defects in the prior art, which can solve the problem that a cup lid in the prior art is prone to dirt accumulation and can hardly be detached for washing.
To achieve the foregoing objective, the following technical solution is adopted.
The present invention provides a detachable and washable cup lid, including:

The beneficial effects of the detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention are as follows:
The present invention is described in more detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
The inner bolt and the outer cover of the present invention can be detached and disengaged into dependent parts, which can not only facilitate washing and mounting, but also further solve the problem that a cup lid in the prior art is prone to dirt accumulation and can hardly be detached for washing.
As a preferred embodiment of the detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention, the inner bolt 30a is hollow inside, and is provided with an opening at the top and closed by a bottom plate at the bottom, and an exhaust hole is formed in the bottom plate; a through hole communicating with the inner bolt 30a is formed in the top of the outer cover 20a; the detachable and washable cup lid further includes an exhaust valve 70a, where a second spring 72a is sleeved outside the exhaust valve 70a, the exhaust valve 70a is inserted into the inner bolt 30a through the through hole and protrudes from the exhaust hole, the second spring 72a is connected between the top end of the exhaust valve 70a and the bottom plate, a blocking ring 71a is sleeved on the bottom end of the exhaust valve 70a, the blocking ring 71a blocks the exhaust hole, and by pressing the exhaust valve 70a to move downwards, the blocking ring 71a is driven to move downwards to be disengaged from the exhaust hole, such that the exhaust hole is opened; and after releasing the exhaust valve 70a, the exhaust valve 70a moves upwards to reset under the action of the second spring 72a.
When the cup body is filled with hot water, temperature reduction and hot expansion and cold contraction come along. A pressure difference is generated between the inside and the outside of the cup body when the external atmospheric pressure is significantly higher than the atmospheric pressure inside the cup body, which makes it hard to open the cover body. By pressing the arranged exhaust valve 70a to move downwards, the blocking ring 71a is driven to disengage itself from the exhaust hole, in this way, the exhaust hole is opened and a balance of atmospheric pressure inside and outside the cup body is reached, such that the cup lid can be conveniently opened.
Particularly, the exhaust valve 70a is a cylindrical rod, the caliber of the exhaust hole in the bottom plate is slightly greater than the outer diameter of the bottom end of the exhaust valve 70a, then the exhaust valve 70a moves downwards to drive the blocking ring 71a to disengage itself from the exhaust hole, in this way, the exhaust hole is opened for exhaust, and meanwhile, insertion and up-and-down movement of the exhaust valve 70a are also facilitated.
The blocking ring 71a is a silicon rubber casing sleeving the bottom end of the exhaust valve 70a. By blocking the notch between the exhaust valve 70a and the bottom plate with the silicon rubber casing, leakage is avoided.
Further, a sleeve corresponding to the exhaust hole is fixed to the upper side of the bottom plate, and the exhaust valve 70a penetrates through the sleeve and is attached to the inner wall of the sleeve, such that the effects of leakage and guiding are achieved.
As a preferred embodiment of the detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention, brims protruding from the exhaust valve 70a are formed at the circumferential side of the top of the exhaust valve 70a and are used for limiting the top end of the second spring 72a, and the bottom end of the second spring 72a abuts against the sleeve at the upper side of the bottom plate for limiting. The second spring 72a is compressed when the exhaust valve 70a is pressed to move downwards, and after pressing is stopped, the exhaust valve 70a moves upwards to reset under the elastic effect of the second spring 72a.
As a preferred embodiment of the detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention, the detachable and washable cup lid further includes a button 22a which is formed at the through hole and is in splice joint with the outer cover 20a, and the button 22a covers the top of the exhaust valve 70a; the edge of the button 22a obliquely and protrudes downwards to form a limiting ring which is arranged on a top inner wall of the outer cover 20a in a blocking manner, and the top face of the button 22a is flush with that of the outer cover 20a. The button 22a is limited by being arranged on the top inner wall of the outer cover 20a in a blocked manner through the limiting ring at the edge, such that the button 22a is prevented from falling off. The button 22a, which is made of a flexible material, can be deformed through pressing, such that the exhaust valve 70a can be further pressed.
As a preferred embodiment of the detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention, the outer cover 20a covers the top of the cup body 10a and covers the cup rim; the inner bolt 30a is inserted in the cup body 10a through the cup rim; a circle of waterproof band is fixed to the inner wall of the cup body 10a; when the outer cover covers the cup body, the elastic leakage-proof sleeve 60a is tightly attached to the waterproof band, and can be elastically deformed to block a notch between the inner wall of the cup body 10a and a contact face of the inner bolt 30a, thereby avoiding leakage.
As a preferred embodiment of the detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention, the top of the cup body 10a is covered with a cup rim sleeve 80a, and the protruding blocks 81a are formed on an outer wall of the cup rim sleeve 80a; a groove adapted to the protruding blocks 81a is formed in an inner side wall of the outer cover 20a, and a bottom side wall of the groove obliquely extends downwards to the bottom end of the outer cover 20a; and when the outer cover 20a sleeves the top of the cup body 10a, rotating the outer cover 20a enables the protruding blocks 81a to move along the bottom side wall of the groove to be inserted into the groove, thereby achieving fixed connection.
Further, the elastic leakage-proof sleeve 60a sleeves the bottom of the inner bolt 30a. Particularly, there are at least four protruding blocks 81a spaced apart on the outer wall of the cup rim sleeve 80a. By pressing hardly the outer cover 20a and rotating the same by 45°, the protruding blocks 81a are moved along the bottom side wall of the groove to be inserted in the groove; the elastic leakage-proof sleeve 60a is tightly attached to the waterproof band, which can not only prevent water seepage, but also can produce upward counter-acting force; and then overall upward acting force is exerted on the outer cover to enable the protruding blocks 81a to be tightly attached to the groove of the outer cover 20a, and in this way, the effects of covering and fixed connection are achieved. The outer cover 20a and the cup body 10a can be disengaged from each other simply by pressing hardly the outer cover 20a downwards and rotating the same, and moving the protruding blocks 81a out of the groove along the bottom side wall of the groove, and in this way, the situation is avoided that due to a thread design adopted in the prior art, the outer cover 20a can be opened only after being rotated for several circles.
Further, a horizontal bearing plate for bearing the bottom end of the outer cover 20a is formed on the cup body 10a. After the cup body 10a is covered with the outer cover 20a, the side wall of the outer cover 20a is flush with that of the cup body 10a, such that overall aesthetics is guaranteed.
The present invention further provides a detachment method of the detachable and washable cup lid, including the following steps:
The detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention further includes Embodiment 2.
Further, by hinging the locking piece to the side wall of the inner bolt and sleeving the inner bolt with the elastic leakage-proof sleeve, the bottom of the locking piece is pressed and constrained, the top of the locking piece is rotated towards the outer side around the hinged portion, and when the top of the inner bolt is inserted in the clamping frame of the outer cover, the top of the locking piece jacks up the inner wall of the clamping frame of the outer cover to limit and connect the locking piece and the outer cover, and the situation is avoided that the inner bolt and the outer cover are detached by accident after being rotated relatively due to negligence.
The elastic leakage-proof sleeve is disengaged from the inner bolt to remove binding to the locking piece, where the locking piece rotates around the hinged portion under the action of the first spring, and then the top end of the locking piece is driven to be disengaged from the clamping frame to allow the inner bolt and the outer cover to rotate relatively. The clamping block is driven by relatively rotating the inner bolt and the outer cover to rotate from the interior of the clamping groove to the notch and then to be disengaged from the clamping groove through the notch, such that the inner bolt can be taken out. The inner bolt and the outer cover of the present invention can be detached and disengaged into dependent parts, such that washing and mounting are facilitated, and thus the problem is solved by the present invention that a cup lid in the prior art is prone to dirt accumulation and can hardly be detached for washing.
As a preferred embodiment of the detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention, the inner bolt 30 is provided with an opening at the top and is closed by a bottom plate at the bottom, and an exhaust hole is formed in the bottom plate; a through hole communicating with the inner bolt 30 is formed in the top of the outer cover 20; the detachable and washable cup lid further includes an exhaust valve 70, where a second spring 72 is sleeved outside the exhaust valve 70, the exhaust valve 70 is inserted into the inner bolt 30 through the through hole and protrudes from the exhaust hole, the second spring 72 is connected between the top end of the exhaust valve 70 and the bottom plate, the bottom end of the exhaust valve 70 is sleeved with a blocking ring 71, the blocking ring 71 blocks the exhaust hole, and by pressing the exhaust valve 70 to move downwards, the blocking ring 71 is driven to move downwards to be disengaged from the exhaust hole, such that the exhaust hole is opened; and after releasing the exhaust valve 70, the exhaust valve 70 moves upwards to reset under the action of the second spring 72.
When the cup body is filled with hot water, temperature reduction and hot expansion and cold contraction come along. A pressure difference is generated between the inside and the outside of the cup body when the external atmospheric pressure is significantly higher than the atmospheric pressure inside the cup body, which makes it hard to open the cover body. By pressing the arranged exhaust valve 70 to move downwards, the blocking ring 71 is driven to disengage itself from the exhaust hole, in this way, the exhaust hole is opened and a balance of atmospheric pressure inside and outside the cup body is reached, such that the cup lid can be conveniently opened.
Particularly, the exhaust valve 70 is a cylindrical rod, the caliber of the exhaust hole in the bottom plate is slightly greater than the outer diameter of the bottom end of the exhaust valve 70, then the exhaust valve 70 moves downwards to drive the blocking ring 71 to disengage itself from the exhaust hole, in this way, the exhaust hole is opened for exhaust, and meanwhile, insertion and up-and-down movement of the exhaust valve 70 are also facilitated.
The blocking ring 71 is a silicon rubber casing sleeving the bottom end of the exhaust valve 70. By blocking the notch between the exhaust valve 70 and the bottom plate with the silicon rubber casing, leakage is avoided.
Further, a sleeve corresponding to the exhaust hole is fixed to the upper side of the bottom plate, and the exhaust valve 70 penetrates through the sleeve and is attached to the inner wall of the sleeve, such that the effects of leakage and guiding are achieved.
As a preferred embodiment of the detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention, brims protruding from the exhaust valve 70 are formed at the circumferential side of the top of the exhaust valve 70 and are used for limiting the top end of the second spring 72, and the bottom end of the second spring 72 abuts against the sleeve at the upper side of the bottom plate for limiting. The second spring 72 is compressed when the exhaust valve 70 is pressed to move downwards, and after pressing is stopped, the exhaust valve 70 moves upwards to reset under the elastic effect of the second spring 72.
As a preferred embodiment of the detachable and washable cup lid of the present invention, the detachable and washable cup lid further includes a button 22 which is formed at the through hole and is in splice joint with the outer cover 20, and the button 22 covers the top of the exhaust valve 70; the edge of the button 22 obliquely and protrudes downwards to form a limiting ring which is arranged on a top inner wall of the outer cover 20 in a blocking manner, and the top face of the button 22 is flush with that of the outer cover 20. The button 22 is limited by being arranged on a top inner wall of the outer cover 20 in a blocked manner through the limiting ring at the edge, such that the button 22 is prevented from falling off. The button 22, which is made of a flexible material (i.e., flexible glue), can be deformed through pressing, such that the exhaust valve 70 can be further pressed.
As a preferred embodiment of the detachable and washable cup lid in the present invention, a pair of connecting lugs 31 arranged on two opposite sides of the vertical groove are formed on the inner bolt 30; a rotary shaft transversely penetrates through the pair of connecting lugs and the middle of the locking piece 40 to achieve hinging; and a fixating plate 32 directly opposite to the locking piece 40 is formed in the inner bolt 30, and is connected to the other end of the first spring 50. The locking piece 40 can rotate towards the inside or outside of the inner bolt 30 around the rotary shaft.
Further, the top of the inner bolt 30 is cut downwards into a strip-shaped vertical groove, and the bottom face of the vertical groove is spaced apart from the bottom end of the inner bolt 30 by a certain distance. The locking piece 40 is in a strip shape adapted to the vertical groove. A protrusion is formed outside the top end of the locking piece 40 to jack up the inner wall of the outer cover 20 to limit and connect the inner bolt 30 and the outer cover 20.
Further, an upper ring plate and a lower ring plate which are in a circular shape are also formed on an outer wall of the inner bolt 30 up and down, where, the upper ring plate abuts against the bottom end of the clamping frame of the outer cover, and the lower ring plate abuts against the upper end of the elastic leakage-proof sleeve 60, such that limiting is conducted.
Further, the elastic leakage-proof sleeve 60 is a silicon rubber casing. The elastic leakage-proof sleeve is bound to the outer wall of the inner bolt 30 by utilizing elastic deformation of the silicon rubber casing, such that the bottom end of the locking piece 40 can be limited to prevent the bottom end of the locking piece 40 from rotating outwards under the action of the first spring 50.

Further, there are at least four protruding blocks 81 spaced apart on the outer wall of the cup rim sleeve 80. By pressing hardly the outer cover 20 and rotating the same by 45°, the protruding blocks 81 are moved along the bottom side wall of the groove to be inserted in the groove; the elastic leakage-proof sleeve 60 is tightly attached to the waterproof band to produce upward counter-acting force; and then overall upward acting force is exerted on the outer cover to enable the protruding blocks 81 to be tightly attached to the groove of the outer cover 20, and in this way, the effects of covering and fixed connection are achieved. The outer cover 20 and the cup body 10 can be disengaged from each other simply by pressing hardly the outer cover 20 downwards and rotating the same, and moving the protruding blocks 81 out of the groove along the bottom side wall of the groove, and in this way, the situation is avoided that due to a thread design adopted in the prior art, the outer cover 20 can be opened only after being rotated for several circles.
Further, a horizontal bearing plate for bearing the bottom end of the outer cover 20 is formed on the cup body 10. After the cup body 10 is covered with the outer cover 20, the side wall of the outer cover 20 is flush with that of the cup body 10, such that overall aesthetics is guaranteed.
