Abstract

Disclosed is a lid structure. An upper lid of the lid structure is buckled to a main lid, the upper lid is provided with an opening for a straw to extend out, a locking assembly is disposed between the main lid and the upper lid, and when the straw is bent, the locking assembly can move along a radial direction of the main lid to be inserted and locked in an inner hole in an end portion of the straw, so that water leakage can be avoided when the straw is bent. Due to the fact that when the straw is bent, the locking assembly can move along the radial direction of the main lid to be inserted and locked in the inner hole in the end portion of the straw, the straw is prevented from getting upright due to the bouncing force thereof to result in water leakage.

Claims (14)

1 . A lid structure, comprising:

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 ), wherein 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 ) is moved out of the inner hole in the end portion of the straw ( 11 ) when pressed;

wherein the locking assembly ( 3 ) comprises 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.

2 . The lid structure according to claim 1 , wherein 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 ) protruding 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.

3 . The lid structure according to claim 2 , wherein the safety latch ( 4 ) is provided with a toggle point ( 42 ), the main lid ( 1 ) is provided with a first toggle point groove ( 13 ) and a second toggle point groove ( 14 ), the toggle point ( 42 ) is located in the first toggle point groove ( 13 ) when the safety latch ( 4 ) is withdrawn from the locking hole ( 321 ), and the toggle point ( 42 ) is located in the second toggle point groove ( 14 ) when the safety latch ( 4 ) is inserted in the locking hole ( 321 ).

4 . The lid structure according to claim 1 , wherein a tubular member ( 15 ) is disposed at the end portion of the straw ( 11 ), a first rotating shaft ( 151 ) is disposed on an outer wall of the tubular member ( 15 ), the main lid ( 1 ) is provided with a first supporting portion ( 16 ) extending to the upper lid ( 2 ), an end portion of the first supporting portion ( 16 ) and/or the upper lid ( 2 ) is provided with a first mounting groove ( 161 ) for the first rotating shaft ( 151 ) to be inserted, and when the straw ( 11 ) is bent, the locking pin ( 32 ) is able to be inserted and locked in an inner hole in an end portion of the tubular member ( 15 ).

5 . The lid structure according to claim 4 , wherein a toggle convex edge ( 152 ) protruding outward in a radial direction is disposed on an outer wall of the tubular member ( 15 ) away from the locking assembly ( 3 ), and the toggle convex edge ( 152 ) is located outside the opening ( 21 ).

6 . The lid structure according to claim 1 , wherein the opening ( 21 ) is rotatably provided with a dust cover ( 5 ), and the dust cover ( 5 ) is provided with a toggle portion ( 51 ) abutting against the dust cover when the straw ( 11 ) is bent, so as to allow the dust cover ( 5 ) to close the opening ( 21 ).
