The specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure may be understood in specific situations by a person of ordinary skill in the art.

As shown in FIGS. 1-10, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a lid structure. The lid structure includes:

• • a main lid 1 provided with a straw 11;
  • an upper lid 2 buckled to the main lid 1, the upper lid 2 being provided with an opening 21 for the straw 11 to extend out; and
  • a locking assembly 3 disposed between the main lid 1 and the upper lid 2. When the straw 11 is bent, the locking assembly 3 is capable of moving along a radial direction of the main lid 1 to be inserted and locked in an inner hole in an end portion of the straw 11, and the locking assembly 3 may be moved out of the inner hole in the end portion of the straw 11 when pressed.

In this embodiment, the lid structure includes the main lid 1, the upper lid 2, and the locking assembly 3, the main lid 1 is provided with the straw 11, the upper lid 2 is buckled to the main lid 1, the upper lid 2 is provided with the opening 21 for the straw 11 to extend out, the locking assembly 3 is disposed between the main lid 1 and the upper lid 2, and when the straw 11 is bent, the locking assembly 3 is capable of moving along the radial direction of the main lid 1 to be inserted and locked in the inner hole in the end portion of the straw 11. Specifically, when the straw 11 is bent, the straw 11 is blocked, which may avoid water leakage. In this embodiment, due to the fact that when the straw 11 is bent, the locking assembly 3 is capable of moving along the radial direction of the main lid 1 to be inserted and locked in the inner hole in the end portion of the straw 11, the straw 11 is prevented from getting upright due to the bouncing force thereof to result in water leakage. In addition, the locking assembly 3 may be moved out of the inner hole in the end portion of the straw 11 when pressed, so that one-button opening for drinking water may be achieved, and by means of the spout portion with this structure, the problem about drinking a large amount of water within a short period of time may be solved. Compared to current small drinking cs on the market and wide-mouth water bottles which are simply provided with threaded lids, the lid structure of this embodiment may be applied to the wide-mouth water bottles and is convenient and simple to use, which improves the user experience.

In some implementations, the locking assembly 3 includes a puller 31, a locking pin 32 and a first elastic member 33, the puller 31 is rotatably disposed on an outer wall of the main lid 1, the locking pin 32 is disposed between the main lid 1 and the upper lid 2 in a radially movable manner, one end of the locking pin 32 penetrates out of the main lid 1 and rotatably connected to the puller 31, and the first elastic member 33 is disposed between the puller 31 and the main lid 1 to drive the locking pin 32 to move inward along the radial direction.

In this embodiment, the locking assembly 3 includes the puller 31, the locking pin 32 and the first elastic member 33. The puller 31 is rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the main lid 1, and the puller 31 may be rotatably disposed on the outer wall of the main lid 1 through a second hinge pin 35. The locking pin 32 is disposed between the main lid 1 and the upper lid 2 in a radially movable manner, one end of the locking pin 32 penetrates out of the main lid 1 and rotatably connected to the puller 31, and the locking pin 32 may be rotatably connected to the puller 31 through a first hinge pin 34. The first elastic member 33 is disposed between the puller 31 and the main lid 1 and may drive the locking pin 32 to move inward along the radial direction, so that the locking assembly 3 moves along the radial direction of the main lid 1 when the straw 11 is bent. The locking pin 32 of the locking assembly 3 is inserted and locked in the inner hole in the end portion of the straw 11 to prevent the straw 11 from bouncing to be upright. When the puller 31 is pressed, the puller 31 forces the locking pin 32 to move outward along the radial direction while rotating around the outer wall of the main lid 1, so that the locking pin 32 is moved out of the inner hole in the end portion of the straw 11 to achieve one-button opening for drinking water.

In some implementations, the main lid 1 is provided with a protective structure 12, and the protective structure 12 is disposed around the puller 31; and/or, a safety latch 4 is further disposed between the main lid 1 and the upper lid 2, the safety latch 4 is provided with a toggle protrusion 41 extending out of the upper lid 2, and the locking pin 32 is provided with a locking hole 321 for the safety latch 4 to be inserted and locked when the straw 11 is bent.
