DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0017] For those of ordinary skill in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present utility model, the following will describe in detail the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other, provided that they are compatible.

[0018] As illustrated in FIGS. 1-4, the present utility model provides a push-button locking cup lid, comprising a top lid 1, an inner plug 2, and a double sealing valve structure mounted inside the top lid 1; a water outlet 10 and a steam outlet 20 are provided respectively on the top lid 1 and the inner plug 2.

[0019] The double sealing valve structure comprises a button rod 31, a water outlet valve rod 32 configured to open or close the water outlet 10, a steam outlet valve rod 33 configured to open or close the steam outlet 20, a front spring 34, a rear spring 35 and a spring mounting box 36. The spring mounting box 36 and the top lid 1 are fixedly connected to each other by high frequency welding.

[0020] A first end of the water outlet valve rod 32 is provided with an axial hole 37, and its second end is configured to block the water outlet 10; two symmetrical holes 38 are provided on a wall of the axial hole 37; a first end of the steam outlet valve rod 33 is inserted into the axial hole 37; a connecting part of the water outlet valve rod 32 and the steam outlet valve rod 33 is positioned inside the spring mounting box 36; a position limiting pin 39 is connected to the first end of the steam outlet valve rod 33; two ends of the position limiting pin 39 pass through the two holes 38 respectively. Two ends of the front spring 34 are fixedly connected to an inner front side wall of the spring mounting box 36 and the position limiting pin 39 respectively; two ends of the rear spring 35 are fixedly connected to an inner rear side wall of the spring mounting box 36 and the position limiting pin 39 respectively. A water sealing silicone 321 and a steam sealing silicone 331 are provided on the water outlet valve rod 32 and the steam outlet valve rod 33 respectively.

[0021] A middle part of the button rod 31 is articulated to the top lid 1, and an upper end part of the button rod 31 is articulated to a second end of the steam outlet valve rod 33; a side wall of the top lid 1 which aligns with the button rod 31 is provided with a slider switch 4 which can be moved up and down; a blocker 41 is provided on the slider switch 4 to block the second end of the steam outlet valve rod 33.

[0022] Specifically, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 8, the top lid 1 comprises a lid body 11 and a side lid 12 connected to the lid body 11; a vertical groove is provided on the side lid 12; the slider switch 4 is slidably mounted in the vertical groove, and the slider switch 4 can be moved up and down along the vertical groove.

[0023] Furthermore, a dust-proof inner lid 5 is detachably arranged on the inner plug 2, and a rubber cushion 6 is provided between the inner plug 2 and the dust-proof inner lid 5, so that dust can be prevented from entering into the lid body 11 during usage, and an interior part of the lid body can be cleaned during disassembly.

[0024] When the push-button locking cup lid of the present utility model is not in use, the slider switch 4 is positioned at a top part of the vertical groove such that the blocker 41 abuts the second end of the steam outlet valve rod 33, so that the button rod 31 cannot be pressed and is thus being locked (as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2), thereby avoiding problems caused by unintended presses against the button rod 31. When liquid is needed to be poured out, slide the slider switch 4 to a bottom part of the vertical groove, and separate the blocker 41 from abutting against the second end of the steam outlet valve rod 33, freeing space for the steam outlet valve rod 33 to move, so that the button rod 31 can be pressed and is thus being unlocked. When the button rod 31 is pressed during an unlocked status, it first pulls the steam outlet valve rod 33 to move away from the steam outlet 20 and open the steam outlet 20, so as to discharge the steam (as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 5); as the button rod 31 continues to be pressed, the steam outlet valve rod 33 continues to be pulled, and when the position limiting pin 39 reaches ends of the holes 38 away from the second end of the water outlet valve rod 32, the water outlet valve rod 32 is also driven to be pulled by the position limiting pin 39 and thus opens the water outlet 10, so as to pour out the liquid inside the cup (as illustrated in FIGS. 4, 6 and 7). By releasing the button rod 31 after pouring out the liquid, under the elastic force of the front spring 34 and the rear spring 35, the water outlet valve rod 32 and the steam outlet valve rod 33 are reset; the button rod 31 then can be locked by sliding the slider switch 4 upward to the top part of the vertical groove.

[0025] Besides, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the present utility model further discloses a thermos cup, comprising a cup body 100 and the push-button locking cup lid discussed above; the cup body 100 and the push-button locking cup lid are in threaded connection.

[0026] In conclusion, although the present utility model describes in detail the aforementioned preferable embodiments, it should be understood that, modifications and changes made by those skilled in the art may without departing from the essence of the present utility model, shall also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
