The utility model relates to the technical field of cups, and particularly relates to a straw cup.
A water cup is a container used to hold water, and is an essential item in our daily life. A common water cup comprises a cup cover and a cup body. The cup cover is opened when people need to drink water, and tightened when people do not need to drink water. Although such water cup is convenient to use, the diameter of the cup body is usually large, which is not suitable for children. To prevent children from spilling water everywhere when drinking, a children water cup is usually provided with an insertion hole in the cup cover and a straw is arranged in the insertion hole to facilitate children to suck water through the straw.
However, children are curious and often remove the straw from the water cup, which is easy to dirty the straw and then pollute water in the water cup. In addition, the removed straw is easy to lose, causing the water cup to be unusable. Moreover, due to the influence of the depth of the cup body, the straw is usually made longer, which makes the cleaning of the straw more troublesome and requires a particularly slender cleaning tool to clean.
A technical problem to be solved in the utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and to provide a straw cup which is convenient for children to use and has a straw not easy to lose and easy to clean.
The utility model adopts the technical solution that a straw cup with the following structure is provided: the straw cup comprises a cup body and a cup cover connected to the cup body; the cup cover is provided with a mounting hole penetrating the cup cover, and a sealing element made of an elastic material is detachably connected in the mounting hole; and a suction nozzle communicated with the inner cavity of the cup body is arranged at the top of the sealing element, the bottom of the sealing element is detachably connected with a straw, and the straw is communicated with the suction nozzle.
With the above structure, the straw cup of the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
The suction nozzle and the sealing element are connected together, which can prevent the straw from being pulled from the cup body by children and prevent the straw from being polluted, so as to prevent water in the cup body from being polluted and avoid loss of the straw. In addition, the suction nozzle, as the extension of the straw outside the cup body, can shorten the length of the straw, and is convenient to clean.
Preferably, the peripheral wall of the sealing element is provided with a through slot extending along the height direction of the sealing element, and the through slot is enclosed with the inner wall of the mounting hole to form an air return passage.
Preferably, an annular flange extending radially is arranged at the bottom of the peripheral wall of the sealing element, and the annular flange is abutted against with the outer edge of the lower opening of the mounting hole; and in the initial state, the air return passage is closed by the annular flange. In this way, water in the cup body can be prevented from flowing out through the air return passage, and the leakproofiiess of the cup body is enhanced; and when a user sucks water, the air pressure in the cup body decreases, and outside air enters through the air return passage and pushes down the annular flange open to enter the cup body so as to prevent negative pressure in the cup body.
Preferably, an annular groove is arranged in the middle of the peripheral wall of the sealing element, the mounting hole is provided with a bulge loop matched with the annular groove, and the bulge loop is clamped in the annular groove.
