The present disclosure relates to the technical field of drinking water containers, and in particular to a straw and a straw bottle containing a combined straw.
At present, in order to facilitate drinking water, especially for young children, straws are usually installed in water cups. In an existing water cup, the straw is generally connected to a cover body as a whole. When filling water, it is necessary to unscrew the cup cover to fill the water, which is very inconvenient to use. Further, when cleaning the straw, it is also necessary to unscrew the cup cover and clean the straw together with the cup cover, which is difficult to clean. In addition, this structure also makes it difficult to replace the straw.
A purpose of the present disclosure is to solve the above problems and to provide a straw and a straw bottle containing a combined straw.
The technical solutions of the present disclosure are implemented as follows.
In the first aspect, the present disclosure provides a straw. The straw includes a rigid tube, a hose sleeved to a bottom of the rigid tube; and an elastic installing base sleeved on an outside of the rigid tube. The elastic installing base is detachably sleeved in a drinking water outlet of a cover body. When a top cove is buckled with the cover body, the top cover presses the rigid tube, so that the hose is in a compression and bending state, and the straw is placed in the drinking water outlet. When the top cover is not buckled with the cover body, the elastic installing base is elastically reset, thereby pushing the rigid tube out of the drinking water outlet and simultaneously opening the top cover.
In an embodiment, the elastic installing base includes an installing base and a spring, the installing base is detachably sleeved in the drinking water outlet of the cover body, the spring is sleeved on an outer wall of the rigid tube, and two opposite ends of the spring respectively contact with a bottom of the installing base and a middle of the rigid tube.
In an embodiment, the rigid tube further includes a snap-fitting convex ring, and one end of the spring is sleeved on the snap-fitting convex ring.
In an embodiment, a part of the rigid tube coinciding with the hose defines a groove for forming a vacuum.
In an embodiment, a fixing convex ring is disposed on the part of the rigid tube coinciding with the hose, when the hose is sleeved to a first end of the rigid tube, an outer edge surface of the fixing convex ring is connected to an inner wall of the hose.
In an embodiment, the first end of the rigid tube further has an inclined surface, so that the hose is deformed along the inclined surface when the hose is sleeved to the first end of the rigid tube.
At a minimum, the effects of the above technical solutions are as follows.
First, the detachable design of the straw and cover body allows users to freely install or disassemble the straw. The users may drink water from the drinking water outlet or through the straw according to their own needs, which is easy to disassembly and assembly, and easy to clean the straw after disassembling the straw.
Second, the groove is defined on the rigid tube, when the hose is sleeved in the rigid tube, the users may allow the groove to form a vacuum by pressing the hose, so that a connection between the rigid tube and the hose is tighter, and the separation of the rigid tube and the hose is avoided.
Third, the expansion and contraction of the spring may push the drinking water end of the rigid tube out of the outer side of the installing base, and the users do not need to manually pull out the rigid tube, so as to avoid dirty hands polluting the rigid tube.
In a second aspect, the present disclosure further provides a straw bottle containing a combined straw. The straw bottle containing the combined straw incudes a straw bottle body, a cover body matched with the straw bottle body and provided with a drinking water outlet, the above straw, and a top cover. One end of the top cover is articulated with the cover body, and the other end of the top cover is buckled with the cover body to open or close the drinking water outlet. The cover body and the straw are separated from each other.
In an embodiment, an inner wall of the drinking water outlet is provided with a snap ring, a deformation paddle is disposed on a side wall of the installing base, a snap-fitting protrusion is disposed on an end of the deformation paddle, a thickening part is disposed on an upper part of the installing base, and a card slot is formed between the thickening part and the snap-fitting protrusion; when the top cover is buckled with the cover body, the snap ring is embedded in the card slot.
In an embodiment, the outer wall of the rigid tube defines a stroke limiting groove, the installing base defines a through hole, and a shape of the through hole is consistent with a cross-section shape of the stroke limiting groove.
In an embodiment, each of two sides of the installing base defines a vertical opening, and the vertical opening is communicated with the through hole, so that a part of the installing base close to the through hole is deformed.
At a minimum, the effects of the above technical solutions are as follows.
First, by disposing the thickening part, the snap-fitting protrusion and other structures on the installing base, the card slot is formed between the thickening part and the snap-fitting protrusion. The snap ring is disposed to the drinking water outlet of the cover body, so that the users may disassemble and assemble the straw at any time through a structure formed by fitting the card slot and the snap ring, which is convenient for the cleaning of the straw. The separation design of a nozzle and the hose may allow to replace the hose when the hose is old.
Second, the design of the vertical opening is conducive to installing the rigid tube on the installing base in the production of the straw, to avoid affecting production efficiency.
Third, the movable setting of the rigid tube and the installing base may further reduce a volume of a bottle cover.
The accompanying drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, and are used together with their explanations to explain the principles of the present disclosure. These drawings provide a further understanding of the present disclosure. These drawings are included in the present specification and form a part of the present specification.

It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present disclosure may be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.
Referring to
Based on the above structure, referring to
The rigid tube 11 further includes a snap-fitting convex ring 111, and an end of the spring 132 is sleeved on the snap-fitting convex ring 111, to avoid the spring 132 separating from the rigid tube 11 during installation.
Referring to
A fixing convex ring 113 is further disposed on the part of the rigid tube 11 that coincides with the hose 12. When the hose 12 is sleeved in a first end of the rigid tube 11, an outer edge surface of the fixing convex ring 113 is connected to or contacts with an inner wall of the hose 12. When the hose 12 is sleeved in one end of the rigid tube 11, and the outer edge surface of the fixing convex ring 113 is connected to or contact with the inner wall of the hose 12, the tightness of the rigid tube 11 and the hose 12 further increases to avoid the hose 12 separating from the rigid tube 11.
Based on the above structure, the first end of the rigid tube 11 further has an inclined surface 115, so that the hose 12 is deformed along the inclined surface 115 when the hose 12 is sleeved in the first end of the rigid tube 11, which facilitates the user to install the hose 12 in the rigid tube 11.
Referring to
Based on the above structure, as shown in
In another embodiment, the inner wall of the drinking water outlet 211 is provided with the snap ring 212. Referring to
Similarly, when the user does not need the straw 10, only the installing base 131 is rotated, so that the snap-fitting protrusion 136 corresponds to the avoidance groove 213, and then the installing base 131 may be taken out of the cover body 21 by pulling the installing base 131 or the straw 10.
Referring to
Based on the above structure, referring to
Each of two sides of the installing base 131 further defines a vertical opening 134. The vertical opening 134 is communicated with the through hole 133, so that a part of the installing base 131 close to the through hole 133 may be deformed. During production assembly, the through hole 133 may be opened by the vertical opening 134, in order to assemble the rigid tube 11 with the installing base 131.
