The top piece can be sealed with the inner liner, and the bottom of the rotating component can be connected with the lower cap.

[0023] With the above structure, the upper cap component and the bottle body are set to press and rotate the buckle structure. When using, it is necessary to press the elastic pressing piece to make the top and the lower bayonet lock separate from the upper clamping slot and the lower one respectively. Then the outer top cap is rotated to make the lower bayonet lock slide along the sliding slot, so as to avoid being easily opened by children. The structure provides a good safety protection role and effectively avoids the risk of children's abuse and eating products by mistake. Moreover, the structure design is simple and easy for use.

[0024] Additionally, the bottle body can adopt a double-layer structure. The stick or salve product can be stored in the inner container, while the inner liner is wrapped by the external bottle body. The bottle body will not contact with the product, and the top piece is added, so that the product will not contact with the upper cap component, thereby avoiding the pollution of the product, ensuring the cleanliness of the product and being able to be used normally.

[0025] FIGS. 1-3 illustrate a safe deodorant tube to prevent children from opening in accordance with one embodiment. The tube includes the bottle body 2, an upper cap component 1 arranged above the bottle body 2, a lower cap 3 arranged below the bottle body 2, an inner liner 4 arranged inside the bottle body 2, a rotating component 6 used to push the deodorant body out, and a discardable cover 5 arranged above the inner liner 4, wherein: the upper cap component 1 comprises an outer upper cap 11 and an inner upper cap 12. The inner wall of the outer upper cap 11 is arranged with a plurality of sets of bayonet lock structures distributed along the circumference, each set of bayonet lock structures includes an upper bayonet lock 111 and a lower bayonet lock 112. The inner upper cap 12 is distributed along the circumference with a plurality of convex elastic pressing pieces 121. The side wall of the inner upper cap 12 is distributed along the circumference with a plurality of upper clamping slots 122 matching with the upper bayonet lock 111.

[0026] The upper side wall of the bottle body 2 is arranged with a plurality of lower clamping slots 21 matching with the lower bayonet lock 112 along the circumference, and a chute for the lower bayonet lock 112 sliding is formed between the adjacent lower clamping slot 21. The top piece 5 is sealed with the inner liner 4, and the bottom of the rotating component 6 is connected with the lower cap 3. With the above structure, the upper cap component 1 and the bottle body 2 are set to press and rotate the buckle structure. When used, it is necessary to press the elastic pressing piece 121 to make the upper bayonet lock 111 and lower bayonet lock 112 separate from the upper clamping slot 122 and the lower clamping slot 21 respectively. Then the outer top cap 11 is rotated to make the lower bayonet lock 112 slide along the chute 22, so as to avoid being easily opened after being contacted by children.

[0027] The above-described structure plays a good safety protection role and effectively avoids the risk of children's abuse and eating products by mistake. Moreover, the structure design is simple and easy for use. In addition, the bottle body adopts double-layer structure, the deodorant is stored in the inner liner 4, while the inner liner 4 is wrapped by the external bottle body 2. The bottle body 2 cannot contact with the deodorant, and the top piece 5 is added, so that the deodorant will not contact with the upper cap component, thereby avoiding the pollution of the product, ensuring the cleanliness of the product and being able to be used normally.

[0028] The elastic pressing piece 121 can be integrally formed, and the elastic pressing piece 121 can be in contact with the inner wall of the outer upper cap 11. By pressing the outer upper cap 11, the elastic pressing piece 121 can be extruded, so that the upper bayonet lock 111 is separated from the upper clamping slot, and the lower clamping slot 112 can be separated from the upper and lower clamping slots 21.

[0029] The bottom of the inner liner 4 can be formed with a circular buckle lock 41, and the inner wall of the bottle body 2 can be formed with the circular clamping slot 23, and the circular buckle lock 41 can be matched with the circular clamping slot 23. This also adds a snap structure at the bottom of the bottle body 2 to prevent children from being easily pulled out, further enhancing safety.

[0030] In one embodiment, the rotary component 6 comprises a base 61, a screw 62 fixedly connected to the base 61, and a piston 63 sleeved on the screw 62. The base 61 can be clamped to the inner wall of the lower cap 3.
