Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a lid, including a lid body having an outlet, a sealing member connected to the lid body and configured for sealing the outlet in a sealing state, the sealing member can include a first end, a middle part, and a second end; a first magnetic member disposed inside the middle part of the sealing member, a driving member mounted and movable inside the lid body and configured for pushing the sealing member to rotate and unseal the outlet; a second magnetic member disposed inside the driving member; and wherein the first magnetic member can attract the second magnetic member to maintain the sealing member at the sealing position and close the outlet.

Claims (22)

1. A lid, comprising:

a lid body having an outlet;

a sealing member connected to the lid body and configured for sealing the outlet in a sealing state, the sealing member comprising a first end, a middle part, and a second end;

a first magnetic member disposed inside the middle part of the sealing member;

a driving member mounted and movable inside the lid body and configured for pushing the sealing member to rotate and unseal the outlet;

a second magnetic member disposed inside the driving member; and

wherein the first magnetic member attracts the second magnetic member to maintain the sealing member at the sealing state.

2. The lid of claim 1 , wherein a sliding slot is defined inside the lid body, the sliding slot has an opening disposed on a lid side surface of the lid body, an end of the sliding slot away from the opening communicates with the outlet, the driving member is located in the sliding slot and the sliding slot is configured for guiding a movement of the driving member.

3. The lid of claim 2 , wherein a stopping groove is defined on a wall of the sliding slot and adjacent to the opening, a locking member is movable out of the driving member and slidable in the stopping groove, in order to limit the movement of the driving member in the sliding slot.

4. The lid of claim 2 , wherein a button is connected to an outer end of the driving member, a button slot is defined on the lid side surface of the lid body and connected to the opening of the sliding slot, the button slot is configured for accommodating the button, and the button is configured for driving the driving member to move in the sliding slot.

5. The lid of claim 4 , wherein the first end of the sealing member comprises a rotating shaft, the sealing member is rotatably mounted to the lid body through the rotating shaft, and a triggering protrusion facing and extending to the outlet is disposed on the second end of the sealing member;

when the button is pressed, the driving member moves toward the outlet, pushes the triggering protrusion and the sealing member to rotate away from the outlet to unseal the outlet; and

when the button is released after the button is pressed, the driving member moves away from the outlet by a magnetic attraction between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, which causes the sealing member to rotate back and seal the outlet.

6. The lid of claim 5 , wherein the driving member comprises a tilting surface contacting the triggering protrusion, and the tilting surface is configured for guiding the triggering protrusion to move away from the outlet when the button is pressed.

7. The lid of claim 5 , wherein two opposite fixing brackets are disposed on one side of the lid body, each of the fixing brackets defines a mounting hole, and two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively disposed in the mounting holes of the fixing brackets.

8. The lid of claim 7 , wherein each of the fixing brackets further defines a gap connected with the mounting hole, a width of the gap is less than a diameter of the mounting hole, each end of the rotating shaft comprises a convex portion having a waisted shape, the convex portion has a width less than the width of the gap and a length substantially equal to the diameter of the mounting hole, the convex portion is disposed in the mounting hole, and when the convex portion in the mounting hole rotates to a released position, the rotating shaft is detached from the fixing brackets through the gaps.

9. The lid of claim 8 , wherein the sealing member is disposed opposite to the driving member, and the second magnetic member is opposite to the first magnetic member.

10. The lid of claim 4 , wherein the lid side surface of the lid body is provided with a vent hole, the button is provided with a venting member corresponding to the vent hole, the vent hole is connected to the button slot and passes through a wall of the button slot, a plurality of venting grooves are located on a surface of the venting member, and the venting member can slide in the vent hole when the button is pressed.

11. The lid of claim 4 , wherein the driving member is provided with a sliding passage, the sliding passage having an L-shape, one end of which extends out of the button and the other end of which extends to a wall of the driving member, and the sliding passage is configured for accommodating the locking member.

12. The lid of claim 11 , wherein the locking member located in the sliding passage is L-shaped, and one side of the locking member is defined as a sliding portion, one end of the sliding portion adjacent to the button is connected with a sliding piece, the sliding piece slides in a sliding groove defined on a wall of the sliding slot and adjacent to the opening, the other end of the sliding portion away from the button is connected with a stopping portion sliding in the sliding passage and extending out of the driving member, in order to limit the movement of the driving member toward the outlet.

13. The lid of claim 1 , wherein the triggering protrusion is covered with a sealing pad sealing the outlet.

14. A container comprising the lid of claim 1 and a container body.
