[0045] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10, a quick opening and closing container stopper includes a fixed shell 1 with a hollow inside. A movable stopper body 2 is slidably connected in the fixed shell 1 in a vertical direction, and the fixed shell 1 is provided with a dodging opening 3. A bottom of the movable stopper body 2 is provided with a limiting plate 201. An elastic sealing sleeve 4 abuts against and between the limiting plate 201 and the fixed shell 1. A knob 5 is rotatably connected to the movable stopper body 2. The knob 5 includes a side lug 501. The container stopper is switchable between a locked state and an unlocked state.

[0046] In the locked state, the side lug 501 extends beyond a contour range of the dodging opening 3, and the fixed shell 1 and the limiting plate 201 are close to each other and drive the elastic sealing sleeve 4 to bulge outward.

[0047] In the unlocked state, the side lug 501 is accommodated in the dodging opening 3, and the elastic sealing sleeve 4 stretches while the fixed shell 1 and the limiting plate 201 are away from each other.

[0048] In the process of driving the movable stopper body 2 to slide upward, the whole elastic sealing sleeve 4 is squeezed by the limiting plate 201 and the fixed shell 1, so that the elastic sealing sleeve 4 bulges outward to seal the container. After the movable stopper body 2 is driven to slide upward, the knob 5 is rotated until the side lug 501 extends beyond the contour range of the dodging opening 3 and abuts against the fixed shell 1, so that the elastic sealing sleeve 4 keeps bulging outward and sealing the container. When the knob 5 is rotated such that the whole knob 5 is within the contour range of the dodging opening 3, the knob 5 and the movable stopper body 2 are moved downward relatively under the elastic force of the elastic sealing sleeve 4, and the elastic sealing sleeve 4 stretches and returns to its original shape to unlock the container opening. Thus, a user can open and close the container stopper simply by operating the movable stopper body 2 and the knob 5, which makes the container stopper very convenient to use. The container stopper can be used repeatedly, and thus has a longer service life. Moreover, the present disclosure is simple in structure and lower in production costs.

[0049] Preferably, two side lugs 501 are provided and arranged symmetrically, so that the knob 5 is more evenly stressed through the side lugs 501.

[0050] Preferably, the whole movable stopper body 2 is in the shape of a flat block, and the corresponding dodging opening 3 is rectangular.

[0051] Preferably, the elastic sealing sleeve 4 is made of rubber.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the knob 5 includes a central post 502. A side surface of the central post 502 is provided with a first connector 503. The movable stopper body 2 is provided with a second connector 6. A first elastic member 7 is connected between the first connector 503 and the second connector 6. While the knob 5 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, the first elastic member 7 is extended and tightened. After the movable stopper body 2 is driven to move upward until the side lug 501 leaves the dodging opening 3, the knob 5 is rotated under the pulling force of the first elastic member 7, so that the side lug 501 automatically rotates to extend beyond the contour range of the dodging opening 3. Thus, the user can switch the container stopper to the locked state simply by driving the movable stopper body 2 to move upward in a single operation, which makes the container stopper more convenient to use.

[0053] Preferably, the first elastic member 7 is a spring.

[0054] Referring to FIGS. 2, 3, 8 and 9, the movable stopper body 2 is provided with a limiting edge 8, and a side edge of the central post 502 is provided with a limiting block 504. In the locked state, the limiting block 504 abuts against the limiting edge 8. When the limiting block 504 abuts against the limiting edge 8, the limiting block 504 is subjected to the elastic force and the reverse thrust of the limiting edge 8, so that the knob 5 in the locked state is more stable and the orientation of the side lug 501 is more standardized.

[0055] It is preferred in the present disclosure that the limiting block 504 in the locked state can keep stable under the pulling force of the first elastic member 7 and the abutting force of the limiting edge 8, and the first elastic member 7 in the locked state returning to its natural extended state also does not deviate from the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0056] Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 8, the movable stopper body 2 includes an accommodating cavity 202 and a mounting hole 203 communicated with each other. The mounting hole 203 is configured for the central post 502 to pass through. The first connector 503 and the first elastic member 7 are both located in the accommodating cavity 202, and the second connector 6 is arranged on an inner wall of the accommodating cavity 202. Corrosion of water vapor on the first connector 503, the second connector 6 and the first elastic member 7 is avoided, so that the service life is prolonged. Moreover, breeding of bacteria is reduced, which makes the container stopper more sanitary to use.

[0057] The movable stopper body 2 includes a stopper body main body 21 and a cover plate 22 that are detachably connected, and the accommodating cavity 202 and the mounting hole 203 are both formed by splicing the stopper body main body 21 and the cover plate 22. The movable stopper body 2 is simple in structure, so that the movable stopper body 2 is convenient to assemble.

[0058] Preferably, the limiting edge 8 is arranged on the cover plate 22 and disposed in the 202, and the limiting block 504 is also disposed in the accommodating cavity 202, thereby avoiding corrosion of water drops on the limiting edge 8 and the limiting block 504, and thus prolonging the service life.

[0059] Referring to FIGS. 4, 6, 7 and 9, the stopper body main body 21 and the cover plate 22 are respectively provided with a convex portion 204 and a concave portion 205, or the stopper body main body 21 and the cover plate 22 are respectively provided with the concave portion 205 and the convex portion 204. The convex portion 204 and the concave portion 205 are matched with each other. The stopper body main body 21 and the cover plate 22 are respectively provided with a through hole 206 and a hook 207, or the stopper body main body 21 and the cover plate 22 are respectively provided with the hook 207 and the through hole 206. The through hole 206 is arranged in a strip shape in the vertical direction, and the hook 207 and the through hole 206 are detachably connected. After the concave portion 205 and the convex portion 204 are butted with each other, the hook 207 and the through hole 206 can be clamped with each other so as to complete the connection and mounting of the stopper body main body 21 and the cover plate 22, which makes the mounting very convenient.

[0060] Preferably, the convex portion 204 and the concave portion 205 are respectively arranged on the stopper body main body 21 and the cover plate 22. Preferably, the hook 207 and the through hole 206 are respectively arranged on the cover plate 22 and the stopper body main body 21.

[0061] A bottom of the central post 502 is provided with a positioning disk 505 extending outward, an annular groove 208 matched with the positioning disk 505 is arranged inside the movable stopper body 2, and the positioning disk 505 and the annular groove 208 are rotatably connected. The axial position of the central post 502 relative to the movable stopper body 2 can be determined by positioning the positioning disk 505 and the annular groove 208, which is simple in structure and convenient to mount.

[0062] Referring to FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7, the present disclosure further includes a movable rod 9. A side edge of the movable rod 9 is provided with a limiting disk 10. A bottom of the movable rod 9 is provided with a sealing block 11. A movable cavity 213 for accommodating the limiting disk 10 is arranged in the movable stopper body 2. A second elastic member 12 abuts against and between the limiting disk 10 and a bottom of the movable cavity 213. A middle part of the limiting plate 201 is provided with a venthole 209 communicated with the movable cavity 213. An upper part of the movable rod 9 runs through the knob 5. Under normal conditions, when the second elastic member 12 extends to its limit, the sealing block 11 blocks the venthole 209 to ensure the air tightness of the present disclosure. Thus, when opening the container stopper, the user may press an upper end of the movable rod 9 to push the sealing block 11 to move downward and open the venthole 209, so that an air pressure balance between the inside and the outside can be achieved, thereby preventing the air pressure from inhibiting the opening of the container stopper.

[0063] Preferably, the second elastic member 12 is also a spring.

[0064] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10, the fixed shell 1 includes a hollow grip 101, and the movable stopper body 2 includes a handle 210. A sliding slot 102 slidably connected with an edge of the movable stopper body 2 is provided in the fixed shell 1. The hollow grip 101 is provided with an arc groove 103 for accommodating the handle 210. The sliding slot 102 and the arc groove 103 are communicated with each other. The user can drive the movable stopper body 2 to move upward simply by pulling the handle 210, which makes the container stopper more convenient to use.

[0065] Referring to FIGS. 1, 4, 6 and 7, an outer side of the side lug 501 is provided with a squeezing protrusion 506, an inner side of the handle 210 is provided with a squeezing surface 211 for abutting against and locking the squeezing protrusion 506, and a side edge of the squeezing surface 211 is provided with a stop block 212. When the knob 5 is rotated until the squeezing protrusion 506 abuts against the stop block 212, the squeezing protrusion 506 abuts against and locks the squeezing surface 211, so that the movable stopper body 2 together with the knob 5 can smoothly pass through the dodging opening 3 during the assembly process of the present disclosure, which makes the container stopper convenient to assemble.

[0066] Referring to FIGS. 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10, a side edge of the movable stopper body 2 is provided with a limiting protrusion 214, and the inside of the fixed shell 1 is provided with a strip-shaped limiting slot 104 in the vertical direction. The limiting protrusion 214 is slidably connected in the strip-shaped limiting slot 104. In the unlocked state, the limiting protrusion 214 abuts against a bottom end of the strip-shaped limiting slot 104. The distance between the movable stopper body 2 and the fixed shell 1 can be effectively limited, which avoids useless work and improves use efficiency.

[0067] Preferably, two limiting protrusions 214 are provided and arranged symmetrically, and two strip-shaped limiting slots 104 are provided and arranged symmetrically.

[0068] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, when the present disclosure switches from the unlocked state to the locked state, the user only needs to pull up the handle 210. During this process, the whole elastic sealing sleeve 4 is squeezed by the limiting plate 201 and the fixed shell 1, so that the elastic sealing sleeve 4 bulges outward to seal the container. After the side lug 501 leaves the dodging opening 3, the knob 5 is rotated under the pulling force of the first elastic member 7, so that the side lug 501 automatically rotates to extend beyond the contour range of the dodging opening 3 and the limiting block 504 rotates to abut against the limiting edge 8. At this time, the present disclosure is in the locked state.

[0069] When the present disclosure switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, the user needs to rotate the knob 5 such that the whole knob 5 is within the contour range of the dodging opening 3. The knob 5 and the movable stopper body 2 are moved downward relative to the fixed shell 1 under the elastic force of the elastic sealing sleeve 4, and the elastic sealing sleeve 4 stretches and returns to its original shape to unlock the container opening. At the same time, the user may press down the upper end of the movable rod 9 exposed from the knob 5, so that the sealing block 11 at a lower end of the movable rod 9 opens the venthole 209, thereby achieving the air pressure balance between the inside and the outside.

[0070] The foregoing descriptions are merely exemplary examples of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present disclosure. Under the inventive concept of the present disclosure, any equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the Description and Drawings of the present disclosure, or direct/indirect applications in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present disclosure.
