Description

cup

The present invention relates to the field of containers, and in particular to a cup.

Existing water cups (such as thermos cups, travel cups, etc.) are widely used due to their lightness and portability. People who travel or go on business trips can use water cups to hold and drink boiled water or beverages at any time. Beverages are generally made by mixing infusion materials with hot water or water or other liquids. The infusion materials include tea leaves, and/or tea branches, and/or other plant branches and leaves, and/or other animal and plant tissues other than plant branches and leaves, and/or chemical foods, specifically including milk powder, instant coffee, tea leaves, chrysanthemum, wolfberry, etc. Qi, etc.; however, existing water cups cannot meet the requirements for brewing various beverages, especially beverages where the liquid and the brewing material should not be in contact for a long time (for example, Kung Fu tea, which cannot be brewed in the traditional way using only a water cup). Alternatively, some brewing materials will react with metal cups. In addition, it is generally believed that most metal cups have a metallic taste when containing liquid. This has certain limitations. In addition, the problem of convenient pouring liquid from the cup and convenient sealing has not been well solved.

To overcome the shortcomings of existing water cups, various portable cups suitable for brewing a variety of beverages have emerged on the market. For example, the "Portable Tea Cup" disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN202221252345.2 is convenient to carry, but the lack of an inner lid or the loose or unsealed seal between the lid and the inner cup alters or discards the traditional Gongfu tea brewing method, affecting the taste of the tea. Furthermore, this structure makes it difficult to ensure that the tea is completely drained within a specified timeframe.

Another example is the "A Portable Ceramic Quick Cup" disclosed in Chinese patent application number CN202120061830.0, which avoids the "tea soaking" problem caused by long-term soaking of tea leaves by adding a tea leaf tray, and the tea leaf tray and each tea cup are stored in the tea brewing cup, making the entire set of quick cups more compact. However, this type of tea cup made entirely of ceramic material is easily damaged and is not actually suitable for carrying around and using at any time, especially when taking high-speed trains and airplanes. Due to limited table space, it is easy to accidentally touch the tea brewing cup or drinking cup when brewing Kung Fu tea, causing the tea brewing cup or drinking cup to fall to the ground and break. It can be seen that this type of quick cup also has great limitations.

For example, the "Large-Capacity Water Cup" disclosed in Chinese patent application number CN202221999959.7 solves the problem of pouring tea from a tea cup without unscrewing the lid, and also solves the problem of preventing the remaining tea in the tea cup from flowing out due to the tilt of the tea cup after pouring. However, its inner material is not made of ceramic or glass, and it cannot maximize the aroma of the tea. In addition, its large capacity does not conform to the brewing habit of Kung Fu tea.

For example, in the "Vacuum Bone China Pop-Up Cup" disclosed in Chinese patent application No. CN201520689707.8, although the interior of the cup body and the drinking spout of the cup lid are made of bone China, the technical problem it solves is that the water outlet of the pop-up cup is made of plastic, which poses a problem for drinking water hygiene. By adopting a bone China spout with a water outlet, the bone China spout is connected to the bone China liner, and the water storage area and water storage parts of the pop-up cup are all made of bone China, which can effectively prevent harmful substances in plastic, stainless steel, etc. from entering the water body. However, in this pop-up cup, most of the bone China spout lacks the protection of the lid shell and protrudes outward. When the movable part (i.e., the lid body in this reference) is opened to the first position, the bone China spout is easily damaged by the cup tipping over. Furthermore, the connection between the bone porcelain faucet and the bone porcelain liner relies solely on precise fit, lacking a first sealing portion to seal it, making production more difficult and expensive.

In addition, there are other thermos cups or tea cups whose lids have spouts that are opened or sealed by a rotatable member. For example, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN114786541A discloses a "drinking cup and its closure member". The closure member for the drinking cup includes a lid, an upper member, and a lower member. The lid has a hole and a drinking opening. The upper member is at least partially located on the outside of the lid and is rotatable between a first upper member position and a second upper member position. The lower member is at least partially positioned on the inner side of the lid. The lower member is connected to the upper member via the hole and is operable by rotating the upper member between a first upper member position and a second upper member position. The lower member is operable between the first lower member position and the second lower member position. In the first lower member position, the lower member closes the drinking opening, and in the second lower member position, the drinking opening is not blocked by the lower member. However, the above-mentioned drinking cup has only one spout (drinking opening), and the closure member is only suitable for blocking the spout and does not close the vent. Moreover, this structure requires the upper member to drive the lower member, which is then used to close the drinking opening from inside the cup, making the structure very complicated. The diameter of the vent is very small. When the user drinks through the drinking spout, air enters the cup through the vent to maintain the air pressure balance inside and outside the cup, allowing the user to drink. At the same time, because the diameter is small, the diameter of the drinking spout is not too large. When the drinking spout is open and the liquid in the cup is full of the vent, if the user accidentally knocks over or inverts the cup, the gravity of the water in the cup is greater than the pressure of the air trying to enter the cup through the vent because of the small diameter of the vent. Therefore, the vent is in a sealed state, so that the liquid in the cup does not flow out of the drinking spout quickly, or only flows out a small part, or does not flow out through the drinking spout at all. Furthermore, when drinking from the cup, the user often has to rotate the cup significantly to adjust the drinking spout to the proper position, which is very troublesome. Furthermore, when the drinking spout is open and the liquid in the cup is not high enough to fill the vent, the user also has to rotate the cup significantly to adjust the drinking spout to the proper position before pouring or drinking, because the vent cannot allow the liquid in the cup to flow out, which is very troublesome.

To address the problems in the prior art, as well as the technical issues that existing cups are convenient to carry, quick to pour, and seal, but also that they cannot meet the needs of brewing a variety of beverages, the present invention provides a cup for holding liquid or liquid and brewing material, wherein the brewing material includes tea leaves, and/or tea branches, and/or other plant branches and leaves, and/or other plant and animal tissues other than plant branches and leaves, and/or chemical foods, and comprises a lid, a cup body, a movable member, and at least one spout;

The cover body includes a cover shell and an inner cover, and at least a portion of the inner cover is arranged inside the cover shell;

The cup body includes a cup shell and an inner cup, at least a portion of the inner cup is disposed inside the cup shell, and the cover body can be connected to the cup body and can be disposed on the cup body;

The inner cover and the inner cup are made of ceramic or glass, and the cover shell and the cup shell are made of anti-fall material;

The spout is located on the side of the lid, the top of the lid, the bottom of the lid, the side of the cup, the top of the cup, the bottom of the cup, or the junction of the lid and the cup; and

At least a portion of the movable member is connected to the lid and/or the cup body, and at least one first avoidance portion is formed on the movable member. The movable member can switch between a first position and a second position relative to the lid or the cup body. When the lid is connected to the cup body and is covered on the cup body, the inner lid and the inner cup are arranged inside the lid shell and the cup shell, or the inner lid and the inner cup are arranged inside the lid shell, the cup shell, and the movable member.

When the movable member is in the first position, at least one of the spouts is aligned with a position of one of the first avoidance portions, so that at least one of the spouts is connected to a first avoidance portion, thereby allowing the liquid in the cup to flow out through one of the spouts and one of the first avoidance portions in sequence;

When the movable member is located at the second position, at least a portion of the movable member can seal the spout from the outside; when the cover is disposed on the cup body and the movable member is located at the second position, a sealed space can be formed inside the cup.

The cups of the present invention have the following beneficial effects: The inner cup and inner lid, made of ceramic or glass, possess physical stability and a dense texture. This allows the inner cup and inner lid to retain the original flavor of liquids to the greatest extent possible and prevent the liquid from reacting with the cup. This enhances the aroma and taste of the tea, especially when brewing Kung Fu tea. Furthermore, by providing a lid shell and cup shell made of shatter-resistant material on the outer surfaces of the inner lid and inner cup, respectively, the inner cup and inner lid can be easily and securely placed. This protects the inner lid and inner cup, reducing the external impact on the inner lid and inner cup during use, lowering the risk of accidental drop or damage to the inner lid and inner cup, thereby increasing the lifespan of the cup and making it easier to carry the cup with you. Furthermore, the cup of the present invention, through its double-layer structure, can also reduce the cup's heat transfer efficiency, thereby reducing the rate of heat loss from the liquid inside the cup and extending the time the liquid inside the cup remains warm. Furthermore, by providing a first relief portion on the movable member, the present invention allows the movable member to slide or rotate to a first position, connecting the first relief portion to the spout, allowing liquid in the cup to be poured out through the spout. The movable member then moves to a second position, separating the first relief portion from the spout, sealing the spout. This design not only simplifies the structure, but also ensures that the lid takes up little or no additional space when pouring or drinking, providing a superior user experience.

Example 1

In order to solve the technical problems of the above-mentioned background technology, this embodiment 1 provides a cup. Referring to Figures 1 to 20, the cup includes a lid 1 and a cup body 2. The lid 1 includes a lid shell 11 and an inner lid 12, and at least a portion of the inner lid 12 is arranged inside the lid shell 11; the cup body 2 includes a cup shell 21 and an inner cup 22, and at least a portion of the inner cup 22 is arranged inside the cup shell 21. The lid 1 can be connected to the cup body 2 and can be covered on the cup body 2. The connection between the lid 1 and the cup body 2 means that the lid 1 and the cup body 2 can be in an inseparable state when the lid 1 and the cup body 2 are upright, laid down, tilted or inverted. The inner cover 12 and the inner cup 22 are made of ceramic or glass; in addition, the cover shell 11 and the cup shell 21 are made of anti-fall materials such as plastic and metal.

The cup body 2 and the lid body 1 are defined as follows in this embodiment: the cup body 2 has a container and is a component for holding liquid or liquid and infusion material, and the lid body 1 is a component for closing or sealing the cup body 2 and for injecting liquid or liquid and adding infusion material into the cup body after being opened. Therefore, this embodiment does not limit the size of the cup body 2 or the lid body 1. For example, the height of the lid body 1 can be greater than or equal to the height of the cup body 2, or the height of the lid body 1 can be greater than the height of a common thermos cup or teacup.

The cup further comprises a movable member 3 and at least one spout 6; the spout 6 is located on the side of the lid 1; at least a portion of the movable member 3 is connected to the lid 1, and at least a portion of the movable member 3 is located outside the lid 1 for easy operation by the user; at least one first avoidance portion 31 is formed on the movable member 3, and the movable member 3 can switch between a first position and a second position relative to the lid 1; when the movable member 3 is in the first position, at least one of the spouts 6 is respectively connected to one of the first and second positions; The positions of the first avoidance portions 31 are aligned so that at least one of the spouts 6 is connected to one of the first avoidance portions 31, thereby allowing the liquid in the cup to flow out through one spout 6 and one of the first avoidance portions 31 in sequence. When the movable member 3 is in the second position, at least a portion of the movable member 3 can seal the spout 6 from the outside. When the lid 1 is placed on the cup body 2 and the movable member 3 is in the second position, a sealed space can be formed inside the cup. The cup of the first embodiment achieves both opening and sealing of the spout 6 by changing the positional relationship between the spout 6 and the first relief portion 31. This design not only simplifies the structure, but also allows the movable member 3 to occupy only a small amount of additional space when pouring or drinking water, making the cup of the first embodiment more convenient for use in places with limited space, such as high-speed trains or airplanes.

When the lid body 1 is connected to the cup body 2 and is covered on the cup body 2, the inner lid 12 and the inner cup 22 are arranged inside the lid shell 11 and the cup shell 21, or, the inner lid 12 and the inner cup 22 are arranged inside the lid shell 11 and the cup shell 21 and the movable part 3, so that the fragile materials of the inner lid 12 and/or the inner cup 22 are not easily damaged due to accidental overturning of the cup.

The cup involved in the first embodiment can be used for brewing beverages, such as brewing Kung Fu tea, brewing milk powder, brewing chrysanthemum water, etc. Taking brewing Kung Fu tea as an example, the operation of using the cup of the first embodiment includes the following:

(1) As a brewing method, the user opens the lid 1 and places the liquid and the brewing medium (such as tea) into the cup body 2, then covers the lid 1 on the cup body 2 and adjusts the movable member 3 to the second position, so that a sealed space is formed inside the cup, so that the liquid maintains a high temperature state and contacts the tea leaves. After a period of time, when the liquid in the cup contacts the tea leaves to form tea soup, the movable member 3 can be adjusted to the first position, so that at least a part of the spout 6 is connected to at least a part of the first avoidance portion 31, and the liquid in the cup can flow out of the cup through the spout 6 and the first avoidance portion 31, and the liquid discharge is uniform.

(2) As another brewing method, the user opens the lid 1 and places the liquid and the brewing medium (e.g., tea leaves) into the cup body 2, and then places the lid 1 on the cup body 2. At this time, the movable member 3 can be in the first position, and at least a portion of the spout 6 is connected to at least a portion of the first avoidance portion 31. After a period of time, when the liquid in the cup contacts the tea leaves to form tea soup, the liquid in the cup can directly flow out of the cup through the spout 6 and the first avoidance portion 31.

Therefore, during the brewing process, the movable member 3 of the cup of the first embodiment can be in either the first or second position while the liquid in the cup contacts the brewing medium. When the liquid in the cup needs to flow out of the cup, the movable member 3 is controlled to the first position so that at least a portion of the spout 6 communicates with at least a portion of the first relief portion 31. One of the technical benefits of this embodiment is that the cup and the Kung Fu tea set are cleverly combined. Because the cup is portable and drop-resistant, Kung Fu tea enthusiasts can enjoy Kung Fu tea anytime, whether traveling or on business trips, satisfying the need for Kung Fu tea in new situations.

In some embodiments, at least a portion of the movable part 3 is connected to the cup body 2, or at least a portion of the movable part 3 is connected to the cup body 2 and the cover 1, and at least a portion of the movable part 3 is outside the cover 1 and/or the cup body 2.

In some embodiments, the cup of the present invention includes at least one air vent, which is used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the cup. In some embodiments, when the movable member 3 is in the second position, at least a portion of the movable member 3 can seal the air vent; when the lid 1 is placed on the cup body 2 and the movable member 3 is in the second position, a sealed space can be formed inside the cup; and/or the air vent is formed by the spout 6. When the movable member 3 is in the first position, the air vent is used to connect the air pressure inside and outside the cup, so that the liquid in the cup can flow out of the cup smoothly through the spout 6 and the first avoidance portion 31. The cross-sectional area of the air vent can be larger or smaller than the cross-sectional area of the spout 6. In addition, a waterproof and breathable membrane can be provided at the air vent to ensure that the liquid in the cup does not flow out through the air vent.

Furthermore, when the air vent and the spout 6 have the same shape and area, the air vent is formed by the spout 6. In this case, there are at least two spouts 6, one of which is used for liquid discharge and the other as a vent. There are also at least two first relief portions 31, with some corresponding to the spout and others corresponding to the air vent. The number of spouts 6 and first relief portions 31 can be the same or different. A person skilled in the art can adjust the arrangement accordingly based on the technical solutions described in this invention. For example, the number of spouts 6 and first relief portions 31 can be the same, so that each spout 6 corresponds to each first relief portion 31. Liquid in the cup can flow out through one of the spouts 6 and first relief portions 31, while the remaining spouts 6 and first relief portions 31 are used to equalize the air pressure inside and outside the cup. Furthermore, the at least one vent and the at least one spout 6 can be distributed on a longitudinal section passing through the axis of the cup and on both sides of the cup. At least two first avoidance portions 31 are formed on the movable member 3 at a 180° angle and correspond to the positions of the at least one vent and the at least one spout 6. In this way, when using the cup, the user can generally rotate the cup 90° or 45° to adjust the cup to a position suitable for pouring water, which is extremely convenient. Moreover, when one spout 6 is discharging liquid, the other spout 6 is located above the cup, preventing or reducing the risk of liquid in the cup flowing out of the other spout 6 and causing burns to the hands.

Referring to Figures 2, 5, and 8, the first relief portion 31 of the cup according to the first embodiment is in the form of a hole and passes through the inner and outer surfaces of the movable member 3. The shape and cross-sectional area of the first relief portion 31 correspond to the shape and cross-sectional area of the spout 6. For example, the first relief portion 31 can be a circular hole, a semicircular hole, or a square hole, so that the liquid in the cup can flow out of the spout 6 and the first relief portion 31 in sequence. This allows the movable member 3 to cover a larger area of the lid 1 and/or cup body 2, further reduces the possibility of external contaminants entering the spout 6, and improves the overall aesthetics of the cup. Thus, when the movable member 3 is in the first position, the liquid in the cup can flow out smoothly along the spout 6 and the first relief portion 31 in sequence. It is understood that the first relief portion 31 may also be a non-porous structure. For example, the movable member 3 may include a baffle capable of blocking the flow opening 6, and the outer side of the baffle or the hollow portion between adjacent baffles forms the first relief portion 31. Alternatively, the first relief portion 31 may be the space formed by the movable member 3 being flipped outward. In other words, when the movable member 3 is in the first position, the portion of the movable member 3 that does not block the flow opening 6 constitutes the first relief portion 31. The specific structure of the first relief portion 31 is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the movable member 3 is in contact with the outer surface of the cover 1 and/or the cup body 2, so that the movable member 3 can be switched between the first position and the second position only by sliding, which is easy to operate.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the cup according to the first embodiment may include a sealing assembly 7 formed by the cooperation of at least a portion of the inner surface of the movable member 3 and at least a portion of the spout 6. When the movable member 3 is in the second position, the spout 6 is sealed by the sealing assembly 7. If the cooperation between the movable member 3 and the cup is sufficiently precise, the spout 6 can be directly sealed using the sidewall of the movable member 3. However, due to errors in the processing of most workpieces, the cup may further include a sealing member 71, at least a portion of which constitutes part of the sealing assembly 7. The spout 6 is sealed by the cooperation of the sealing member 71 with the inner surface of the movable member 3 or at least a portion of the spout 6.

In some embodiments, the seal 71 is elastic. Referring to Figures 4, 5, 7 and 11, the seal 71 is provided on the lid 1, and at least a portion of the seal 71 forms at least a portion of the spout 6. When the movable member 3 is in the second position, at least a portion of the seal 71 is combined with the movable member 3. In some embodiments, the seal 71 can elastically press against the inner surface of the movable member 3, thereby sealing the gap between the lid 1 and the movable member 3, so that a sealed space can be formed inside the cup.

Furthermore, the spout 6 may include a first spout 61 formed in the lid 1 and a second spout 62 formed in the sealing member 71. Referring to FIG5 , when the movable member 3 is in the first position, liquid in the cup can flow outward along the flow path formed by the first spout 61, the second spout 62, and the first escape portion 31. Alternatively, the spout 6 may include only the second spout 62 formed in the sealing member 71, i.e., a portion of the sealing member 71 is positioned within the first spout 61 of the lid 1 to cover the first spout 61. In this manner, when the movable member 3 is in the first position, liquid in the cup can flow outward along the flow path formed by the second spout 62 and the first escape portion 31.

Furthermore, a through-hole 112 is formed on the cover 11. The through-hole 112 is in the shape of a hole and passes through the inner and outer surfaces of the cover 11. At least a portion of the sealing member 71 is disposed in the through-hole 112, thereby firmly connecting the sealing member 71 to the cover body 1.

In some embodiments, the seal 71 is elastic and is positioned on the movable member 3. At least a portion of the seal 71 forms at least a portion of the inner surface of the movable member 3. When the movable member 3 is in the second position, at least a portion of the seal 71 engages at least a portion of the spout 6. In some embodiments, the seal 71 can elastically abut against the sidewall end of the spout 6, thereby forming a sealed space within the cup. Furthermore, when the lid 1 is positioned on the cup body 2, a portion of the seal 71 can seal the gap between the lid 1 and the cup body 2. This design can save on production and assembly steps, thereby shortening the cup production cycle and improving cup production efficiency.

In some embodiments, the lid body 1 includes a fastening assembly 5, which confines the inner lid 12 within the lid shell 11. The fastening assembly 5 can be glue used to bond the inner lid 12 to the lid shell 11, or a component fixed to the lid shell 11 and capable of controlling the inner lid 12, or a structure on the lid shell 11 and the inner lid 12 that cooperates with each other. In other words, the structure that serves to confine the inner lid 12 within the lid shell 11 is the fastening assembly 5, and the specific structure of the fastening assembly 5 is not limited herein. The structures of the fastening assembly include the following:

As a first optional design, the fastening assembly 5 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone. Referring to FIG3 , the fastening assembly 5 is located between the cover 11 and the inner cover 12. The outer side of the fastening assembly 5 is elastically pressed against the cover 11, and the inner side of the fastening assembly 5 is elastically pressed against the inner cover 12. By utilizing the elasticity of the fastening assembly 5 itself, it is possible to The fastening assembly 5 is tightly fitted to the cover 11 and the inner cover 12, thereby creating a relatively large frictional resistance between the fastening assembly 5 and the cover 11, and between the fastening assembly 5 and the inner cover 12. This achieves relative fixation between the fastening assembly 5 and the cover 11, and between the fastening assembly 5 and the inner cover 12, thereby confining the inner cover 12 within the cover 11. Based on this design, the fastening assembly 5 can also serve as a sealing structure to prevent liquids or foaming substances from penetrating the connection between the inner cover 12 and the cover 11. The seal 71 can also be at least a part of the fastening assembly 5, facilitating production and assembly.

As a second optional design, the fastening assembly 5 includes at least two sub-components that are assembled with each other and a protrusion 51 formed on the inner cover. Multiple sub-components are jointly enclosed in the protrusion 51 and form an interference fit with the protrusion 51. Then, multiple sub-components are connected to the cover shell 11 or are arranged inside the cover shell 11, so that the inner cover 12 and the cover shell 11 are connected through the sub-components and the protrusion 51.

In some embodiments, the cup body 2 also includes a fastening assembly 5, as shown in FIG13 , which confines the inner cup 22 to the cup shell 21. The specific design of the fastening assembly 5 provided on the cup body 2 can refer to the fastening assembly 5 provided on the lid 1 above, and will not be described in detail here.

In some embodiments, the cover shell 11 and the inner cover 12 are provided with a first positioning assembly 16 that cooperate with each other. Referring to FIG. 3 , the first positioning assembly 16 is used to limit the inner cover 12 from rotating relative to the cover shell 11 . It is understandable that if the inner cover 12 rotates relative to the cover shell 11, the spout 6 and the first avoidance portion 31 cannot be accurately aligned. Therefore, the first embodiment of the present invention uses the first positioning component 16 to form a positioning and restriction between the inner cover 12 and the cover shell 11, thereby improving the assembly accuracy and convenience between the inner cover 12 and the cover shell 11, so that people in dim light or with visual impairments can quickly place the movable part 3 in the first position and pour out the liquid in the cup, or it is convenient for people to quickly place the movable part 3 in the first position and pour out the liquid in the cup when they are trying to focus their eyes outside the cup. In addition, if the inner cover 12 rotates relative to the cover shell 11 or tends to rotate, the connection strength between the inner cover 12 and the cover shell 11 is easily reduced. By providing the first positioning assembly 16 on the cover body 1, the connection strength between the inner cover 12 and the cover shell 11 can be improved.

As an optional design, referring to Figures 3, 7 and 9, the first positioning assembly 16 includes a raised portion 51 formed on the inner cover 12 and a mounting portion 52 formed on the cover shell 11. Referring to Figure 3, at least a portion of the raised portion 51 is embedded in the mounting portion 52 to limit the rotation of the inner cover 12 relative to the cover shell 11; the cross-section of the raised portion 51 is non-circular or there are multiple raised portions 51, for example, the multiple raised portions 51 are asymmetrically distributed, and the cover shell 11 is formed with a mounting portion 52 that is compatible with the raised portion 51. The shape and number of the mounting portion 52 are arranged to correspond to the shape and number of the raised portion 51, and at least a portion of the raised portion 51 is embedded in the mounting portion 52 to limit the rotation of the inner cover 12 relative to the cover shell 11. Among them, the protrusion 51 and the wall surface of the mounting portion 52 can be firmly connected by interference fit of the shaft hole, bonding, welding, etc., or a fourth elastic portion is installed on the cover shell 11, and the mounting portion 52 is formed in the middle of the fourth elastic portion. The fourth elastic portion is used to elastically press the inner cover 12 so that at least a portion of the inner cover 12 is firmly connected to the cover shell 11, so that the first positioning component 16 is also used as the fastening component 5.

In some embodiments, the shell 21 and inner cup 22 may also be provided with a first positioning member 16 that cooperates with each other to restrict the inner cup 22 from rotating relative to the shell 21. The specific design of the first positioning member 16 provided on the cup body 2 can be referenced with the first positioning member 16 provided on the lid 1 and will not be further described here.

In some embodiments, the cup further includes a first sealing portion 17. Referring to Figures 3 to 6, the first sealing portion 17 can be installed on the lid body 1 or on the cup body 2. When the lid body 1 is placed on the cup body 2, at least a portion of the first sealing portion 17 abuts against the inner cup 22 and the inner lid 12 to limit the liquid in the cup from flowing out through the connection between the inner lid 12 and the inner cup 22. In this way, when the user pours water, it can be ensured that the liquid inside the cup is discharged only from the spout 6, and when the movable part 3 is in the second position, it can ensure that the interior of the cup has better sealing, reduce the rate of heat loss of the liquid, and thereby maintain the taste of the liquid stored in the cup body 2 to the greatest extent. In addition, the first sealing portion 17 can be a part of the fastening component 5 made of elastic material such as silicone or rubber provided on the cover 1, thereby saving production and assembly processes.

In some embodiments, the lid body 1 may include a third elastic portion 18. Referring to Figure 3, the third elastic portion 18 is arranged between the inner lid 12 and the lid shell 11. The third elastic portion 18 is used to apply an elastic force to the inner lid 12 toward the cup body 2. In this way, when the lid body 1 is placed on the cup body 2, the third elastic portion 18 can make the inner lid 12 tightly adhere to the inner cup 22, thereby improving the overall sealing of the cup and greatly reducing the risk of water leakage. At the same time, it can also reduce the contact between the liquid and the first sealing portion 17, thereby eliminating factors that may affect the taste of the liquid as much as possible. The third elastic portion 18 can be an elastic member such as a spring, a silicone, etc. disposed between the inner cover 12 and the cover shell 11, and is not limited here; wherein, the third elastic portion 18 can be silicone or rubber, and is an integrated structure with the above-mentioned fastening component 5 composed of an elastic material such as silicone or rubber disposed on the cover body 1, thereby reducing the difficulty of production and assembly.

In some embodiments, the cup body 2 may also include a third elastic portion 18, which is disposed between the inner cup 22 and the cup shell 21. The third elastic portion 18 is used to apply an elastic force to the inner cup 22 toward the lid 1, so that when the lid 1 is placed on the cup body 2, the third elastic portion 18 can ensure that the inner cup 22 is tightly attached to the inner lid 12. In addition, the third elastic portion 18 can be provided on both the lid 1 and the cup body 2 to ensure a better fit between the inner lid 12 and the inner cup 22.

In some embodiments, when the lid body 1 is placed on the cup body 2, the inner lid 12 and/or the lid shell 11 rests against the top of the inner cup 22; and/or, when the lid body 1 is placed on the cup body 2, the inner cup 22 and/or the cup shell 21 rests against the bottom of the inner lid 12; in this way, the risk of liquid leakage can be avoided or reduced.

In the first embodiment, the lid body 1 and the cup body 2 can be connected in a rotational manner by means of a snap connection, a thread connection, or a hinge connection.

Referring to Figures 3-5 , the movable member 3 in this first embodiment can also be movably connected to the cup; for example, when the movable member 3 is connected to the cup, at least a portion of the movable member 3 can be in contact with the outer surface of the cup. In some embodiments, the movable member 3 can be at least partially in contact with the lid 1; in some embodiments, the movable member 3 can also be in contact with both the lid 1 and the cup 2 and can slide relative to the surface of the lid 1 and/or the cup 2. In other words, the movable member 3 can switch between a first position and a second position by sliding on the upper surface of the cup 2 and/or the lid 1, thereby opening and sealing the spout 6. Of course, the movable part 3 can also be movably connected to the cup by a rotating connection or other means, because the direction of rotation or outward turning is easier to understand and will not be elaborated here. Compared with the method of connecting the movable part 3 to the lid 1 or the cup body 2 by a rotating connection or other means, the sliding connection method can make the operation of the movable part 3 less difficult and smoother, and reduce the risk of accidental movement of the movable part 3, especially when the movable part 3 rotates between the first position and the second position by rotating around the central axis of the cup, and the movable part 3 is in the shape of a circular lid or ring, the rotating connection between the movable part 3 and the lid 1 can avoid or reduce the collision of the movable part 3 with external objects, making the cup more suitable for carrying.

In some embodiments, to reduce user operational difficulty, the movable member 3 is formed with a movable portion 32, and the lid 1 and/or cup body 2 are formed with at least one first limiting portion 111. Referring to Figures 8 and 9, the movable portion 32 cooperates with the at least one first limiting portion 111 to limit the range of motion of the movable member 3. Alternatively, at least two first limiting portions 111 may be provided. When the movable member 3 contacts one first limiting portion 111, the movable member 3 is in a first position, pouring the liquid from the cup; when the movable member 3 contacts another first limiting portion 111, the movable member 3 is in a second position, sealing the spout 6. Based on this design, the two first limiting portions 111 cooperate with the movable portion 32 to control the water flow and sealing of the cup, providing accurate and convenient adjustment.

Optionally, the movable portion 32 is a first protrusion formed on the movable member 3, and the first limiting portion 111 is a side surface of a second protrusion formed on the cover body 1; when the movable member 3 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise until it contacts the first protrusion and the first limiting portion 111, the movable member 3 can no longer continue to rotate in the original direction, so that the movable member 3 stops in a state where the first avoidance portion 31 is aligned with the flow outlet 6 or stops in a state where the first avoidance portion 31 is misaligned with the flow outlet 6.

2 to 5, 12, 17 and 20, the cups involved in some of the embodiments of the present invention may include a stopper 14. The stopper 14 may be provided inside the lid 1. When the lid 1 is placed on the cup 2, the stopper 14 may be used to restrict the tea or other solids in the cup from flowing out along the spout 6 on the lid 1. Liquid may flow out through the hole formed on the stopper 14 or the gap between the stopper 14 and the lid 1. The liquid passes through the gap and flows out along the spout 6. In this way, the drink poured out by the user is almost free of solid matter. In addition, the blocking member 14 can prevent the solid matter inside the cup body 2 from entering the interior of the lid 1, or only a small amount of it. As a result, when the lid 1 is opened, the solid matter is almost unlikely to stick to the lid 1, and is almost unlikely to be carried out of the cup when the lid 1 is opened, thereby reducing the risk of solid matter falling on the user's hands or clothing. Furthermore, the stopper 14 can be made of materials such as titanium, ceramic, or glass to prevent the foaming substance from reacting with the stopper 14, and the stopper 14 can be integrally formed on the cover 1, fixed to the cover 1, or detachably connected to the cover 1, without limitation.

Furthermore, the stopper 14 is formed with a second elastic portion 142, which is configured to elastically adhere to the inner surface of the lid 1, allowing the stopper 14 to be removably connected to the interior of the lid 1. This design facilitates assembly and disassembly of the stopper 14, allowing it to be removed and cleaned at any time, thereby maintaining the hygiene of the cup. The second elastic portion 142 can be a spring stamped onto the stopper 14 or a rubber member connected to the stopper 14, without limitation.

Furthermore, in order to enhance the connection strength between the stopper 14 and the cover 1, a second limiting portion 15 is formed on the cover 1. The second limiting portion 15 can be a convex structure formed on the cover 1, or a concave structure formed on the cover 1. The second elastic portion 142 abuts against the second limiting portion 15 to achieve a firm connection between the stopper 14 and the cover 1. In addition, the outer side surface of the second elastic portion 142 can be V-shaped or arc-shaped. In this way, while ensuring a firm connection between the stopper 14 and the cover 1, the removal of the stopper 14 can also be smoother.

Furthermore, the blocking member 14 includes a side blocking portion 143 and a bottom blocking portion 144 connected to each other, and the top surface of the side blocking portion 143 contacts the cover body 1. It is understood that most solid materials will absorb the liquid after being immersed in liquid, resulting in a change in volume. By designing the side stopper 143 on the stopper 14 to abut against the lid 1, the stopper 14 can be limited in position, thereby preventing the expansion of the solid material from pushing up the stopper 14. This ensures that the stopper 14 can always prevent the solid material from entering the spout 6, while also reducing the risk of the solid material adhering to the lid 1 or being carried out of the cup when the lid 1 is opened.

Furthermore, the barrier 14 includes at least one drain portion 141, which is a hole-shaped hole extending through the inner and outer surfaces of the barrier 14. The drain portion 141 can be formed on either the side block 143 or the bottom block 144. The drain portion 141 allows liquids to pass through, while most solid materials, such as tea leaves and chrysanthemums, cannot pass through the drain portion 141. The design of the drain portion 141 accelerates the passage of liquid through the barrier 14, thereby ensuring smoother and more efficient water flow from the outlet 6.

Furthermore, the stopper 14 is formed with a disassembly portion 145, which allows the stopper 14 to be removed from the lid 1. The disassembly portion 145 can be stamped into the bottom stopper 144, and at least one side hole is formed on the side of the disassembly portion 145. A user can insert a finger or other external tool into the side hole to apply force to the disassembly portion 145, thereby removing the stopper from the lid 1 or cup 2. Furthermore, the disassembly portion 145 can also have other structures, which are not limited here.

In some embodiments, a stopper 14 may be disposed within the cup body 2. When the lid 1 is placed on the cup body 2, the stopper 14 is used to restrict tea or other solids in the cup from flowing out of the spout 6. Liquids can pass through the holes formed in the stopper 14 or the gap between the stopper 14 and the cup body 2 and flow out of the spout 6. The structure of the stopper 14 and the connection between the stopper 14 and the cup body 2 can refer to the specific design of the stopper 14 disposed within the lid 1 described above. Other existing designs may also be adopted and will not be described in detail here. To further illustrate, the interior of the cover 1 and the interior of the cup 2 can be simultaneously installed with a stopper 14, or, when the cover 1 is connected to the cup 2, a portion of the stopper 14 is located in the cover 1 and another portion of the stopper 14 is located in the cup 2, without limitation herein.

In some embodiments, the spout 6 is located on the side of the lid 1 or the side of the cup body 2, making it more convenient to pour out the liquid. The cup only needs to be tilted to a horizontal state or to form a small angle with the horizontal state to pour out all the liquid in the cup.

In some embodiments, when at least a portion of the stopper 14 is located on the lid 1 or a majority of the stopper 14 is located within the lid 1, the space within the cup body for holding infused materials such as tea leaves is increased, making it possible to position the spout 6 on the lid 1, thereby making it a more feasible and reasonable solution. In particular, when the stopper 14 is located within the lid 1, it effectively prevents the stopper 14 from intruding into the liquid in the cup 2 when the lid 1 is placed on the cup 2, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing out of the cup 2. This allows the user to pour as much liquid as possible into the cup 2.

In some embodiments, to reduce the cost of the cup, the lid 11, the cup shell 21 and the movable member 3 are made of plastic. However, some food-grade plastics cannot withstand high temperatures and are not suitable for processing such as engraving, spraying or electroplating, which will limit the appearance of the cup. Therefore, the cup involved in this embodiment 1 may further include a decorative member 8 and a second positioning assembly 10. Referring to Figures 16 to 19, at least a portion of the decorative member 8 can be connected to the lid 1 to cover the lid. The decorative element 8 can be connected to at least a portion of the cup body 1 and can also be connected to the cup body 2 to cover at least a portion of the cup body 2. It can also be connected to the movable member 3 to cover at least a portion of the movable member 3. The decorative element 8 can be made of metal or other materials suitable for engraving, spraying, or electroplating. In this way, the outer surface of the prepared cup can present different colors, different texts, or different patterns, making the appearance of the cup more diverse.

In some embodiments, a second escape portion 81 is formed on the decorative member 8. When the decorative member 8 is connected to the movable member 3, the decorative member 8 and the movable member 3 are positioned by the second positioning assembly 10 so that at least one second escape portion 81 is aligned with at least one first escape portion 31. This allows the liquid in the cup to flow out through the flow channel formed by the spout 6, the first escape portion 31, and the second escape portion 81, and makes the cup more beautiful.

In some embodiments, the second positioning assembly 10 includes a sixth positioning portion formed on the decorative member 8 and a seventh positioning portion formed on the lid 1 and/or the cup 2. The sixth positioning portion and the seventh positioning portion can be combined with each other to limit the axial rotation of the decorative member 8 relative to the lid 1 and/or the cup 2, so that the decorative member 8 and the lid 1 and/or the cup 2 are fitted to a predetermined position through interference fit to achieve a fixed connection without relative axial rotation, and at least one second avoidance portion 81 is aligned with at least one spout 6; and/or,

The second positioning assembly 10 includes a sixth positioning portion formed on the decorative member 8 and a seventh positioning portion formed on the movable member 3. The sixth and seventh positioning portions engage to restrict axial rotation of the decorative member 8 relative to the movable member 3. This allows the decorative member 8 and the movable member 3 to be interlocked and fixed in a predetermined position, preventing relative axial rotation, and ensuring alignment of at least one second relief portion 81 with at least one first relief portion 31. (Although not shown, the sixth and seventh positioning portions could be of a conventional configuration, such as concave-convex or snap-fit configurations.)

In some embodiments, the second positioning assembly 10 includes a third mounting portion 101 formed on the decorative member 8, a fourth mounting portion 102 formed on the movable member 3, a limiter 103 and a locking member 104. At least a portion of the decorative member 8 and at least a portion of the movable member 3 are located between the limiter 103 and the locking member 104. A portion of the limiter 103 and/or a portion of the locking member are disposed within the third mounting portion 101 and the fourth mounting portion 102, and the limiter 103 and the locking member 104 are fixedly connected. In this way, not only can the at least one second avoidance portion 81 be aligned with the at least one first avoidance portion 31, but the decorative member 8 and the movable member 3 can also be fixedly connected, making the structure of the cup more streamlined.

As a specific design, the third mounting portion 101 is in the shape of a hole and passes through the inner and outer surfaces of the decorative part 8, the fourth mounting portion 102 is in the shape of a hole and can pass through the inner and outer surfaces of the movable part 3, a portion of the limiting member 103 is abutted against the top of the decorative part 8, and the bottom of the limiting member 103 is also provided with a second protrusion 105 located in the third mounting portion 101 and the fourth mounting portion 102, a threaded hole is formed at the bottom of the second protrusion 105, a portion of the locking member 104 is abutted against the bottom of the movable part 3, and the top of the locking member 104 is also provided with a threaded portion 106, and the threaded portion 106 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby achieving alignment of at least one second avoidance portion 81 with at least one first avoidance portion 31 and fixing the decorative part 8 to the movable part 3. The portion of the stopper 103 located at the top of the decorative member 8 can be designed with various patterns to enhance the aesthetics of the cup. Furthermore, since the connection between the threaded portion 106 and the second protrusion 105 may become loose, the inner lid 12 and the lid shell 11 can be configured as a detachable connection. After removing the inner lid 12 from the lid shell 11, the user can insert a screwdriver through the mounting portion 52 to adjust the locking member 104 to re-tighten the threaded portion 106 and the second protrusion 105. To further illustrate, compared to the method of directly bonding the decorative part 8 and the movable part 3 with glue, using the cooperation of the limiter 103 and the locking member 104 to fix the decorative part 8 and the movable part 3 can make the connection between the decorative part 8 and the movable part 3 less affected by thermal expansion and contraction, thereby making the connection between the decorative part 8 and the movable part 3 more secure and also allowing them to be fixed in an interference fit manner. In one embodiment, a second avoidance portion 81 is formed on the decorative member 8; when the decorative member 8 is connected to the lid 1 and/or connected to the cup body 2, the decorative member 8 and the lid 1 and/or the decorative member 8 and the cup body 2 are positioned by the second positioning assembly 10, so that at least one second avoidance portion 81 is aligned with at least one spout 6, thereby allowing the liquid in the cup to flow out through the flow channel formed by the spout 6, the first avoidance portion 31 and the second avoidance portion 81, and making the appearance of the cup more beautiful. Among them, the second positioning assembly 10 may include a sixth positioning portion formed on the decorative part 8, a seventh positioning portion formed on the cover 1 and/or the cup body 2, and the second positioning assembly 10 may include a third mounting portion 101 formed on the decorative part 8, a fourth mounting portion 102 formed on the cover 1 and/or the cup body 2, a limiter 103 and a locking member 104. For the specific connection method, please refer to the specific design of the second positioning assembly 10 when the decorative part 8 is connected to the movable part 3, which will not be elaborated here.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2 , in the cup of this first embodiment, one side of the lid 1 is hinged to the cup body 2, while the other side of the lid 1 is removably locked to the cup body 2 via a latch assembly 9. This design allows the user to fill the cup with water or a brewing substance without having to separate the lid 1 from the cup body 2, thereby reducing the risk of the lid 1 being lost or dropped. The latch assembly 9 described above is prior art, and its structure will not be described in detail here. It is understood that the lid 1 and cup body 2 may also be connected using a threaded connection or other means, without limitation.

The cup involved in this embodiment 1 may also include a container 4; the container 4 can be a container 4 with a larger capacity for storing liquids, such as a thermos with a capacity of 300ml, 400ml, or 500ml. Referring to Figure 14, when the user needs to use the cup body 2 and lid body 1 to brew Kung Fu tea or other beverages, the liquid in the container 4 can be transferred to the cup body 2 to brew the beverage, eliminating the need for the user to frequently refill the cup with water, allowing the user to drink the brewed beverage at any time. The container 4 can be detachably connected to the cup body 2, the lid 1 or the movable part 3 by means of a threaded connection, a snap connection, etc. When water needs to be added to the cup body 2, the user can remove the container 4 to pour the liquid in the container 4 into the cup body 2; in addition, the container 4 can also be fixedly connected to the bottom of the cup body 2 or the top of the lid 1 by welding or bonding. When water needs to be added to the cup body 2, a small pumping device is used to directly transport the water in the container 4 into the cup body 2.

Furthermore, the container 4 can also have a smaller capacity to accommodate containers 4 for drinking liquids, see Figure 15 , for example, a teacup with a capacity of 30ml, 40ml, 50ml, etc. The container 4 can be detachably connected to the cup body 2, the lid 1, or the movable member 3 by means of a threaded connection, a snap connection, etc. After the user uses the cup to brew Kung Fu tea or other drinks, the container 4 can be used to hold the brewed drink for the user to drink.

It should be noted that the cup can include both a container 4 for storing liquid and a container 4 for drinking liquid. The two containers 4 can be respectively arranged at the bottom of the cup body 2 and the top of the lid 1 and connected to the movable part 3 or the cup body 2 or the lid 1. The two containers 4 can also be connected, and one of the containers 4 is connected to the cup body 2 or the lid 1 or the movable part 3. The cup can also include at least two containers 4 for storing liquid or at least two containers 4 for drinking liquid. The specific design can be adjusted according to the usage situation and will not be elaborated here.

In some embodiments, the container 4 may have a double-layer structure. Referring to FIG. 15 , the container 4 includes an outer shell 42 and a container 43 at least partially disposed within the inner side of the outer shell 42. The container 43 is made of ceramic or glass, while the outer shell 42 is made of a drop-resistant material, such as plastic or metal. Using titanium, ceramic, or glass to hold the liquid in the container 4 prevents the liquid from acquiring a metallic taste, enhancing the taste of the prepared beverage. The drop-resistant outer layer effectively protects the inner ceramic or glass layer, preventing damage to the container 43. Furthermore, since brewed beverages are generally hot, the double-layer structure reduces heat conduction efficiency, making the container more suitable for handholding.

Furthermore, the container 4 also includes a lid 41. Referring to Figure 15, the lid can be used to seal the container 4, reducing the entry of dust or other foreign matter into the container 4 and ensuring hygiene. The lid 41 can be a single-layer structure or a double-layer structure. When the lid 41 is a double-layer structure, the inner layer of the lid 41 is ceramic or glass, and the outer layer of the container 4 is a drop-proof material.

Embodiment 2

To solve the technical problems of the above-mentioned background technology, the second embodiment provides a cup. Referring to FIG. 21 , the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the spout 6 is formed on the top surface of the lid 1, and at least a portion of the movable member 3 can be connected to the cup body 2, the lid 1, or both.

The cup of the second embodiment can also achieve the effects of retaining the original flavor of the liquid, extending the liquid insulation time, and taking up less space when used. In addition, the design of providing the spout 6 on the top surface of the lid 1 makes the operation of pouring water from the cup more in line with daily operating habits, which is beneficial for the user to control the water output amount and speed. At the same time, it is also beneficial for the user to drink the liquid in the cup directly through the spout 6, meeting the different needs of users.

The specific structure of the cup involved in this embodiment 2 can refer to the design of the cup involved in this embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here.

Example 3

To solve the technical problems of the above-mentioned background technology, the third embodiment provides a cup. Referring to Figures 22 and 23, the third embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the spout 6 of the cup of the third embodiment is formed on the side of the cup body 2, and at least a portion of the movable member 3 can be connected to the cup body 2, can be connected to the lid 1, or can be connected to both the lid 1 and the cup body 2 at the same time.

The cup of the third embodiment can also achieve the effects of retaining the original flavor of the liquid, extending the liquid heat preservation time, and taking up little space when used.

It should be noted that the cup involved in this embodiment three can be understood as the cup involved in this embodiment one used in reverse, that is, the lid involved in this embodiment one is used as the cup body of this embodiment three, and the cup involved in this embodiment one is used as the lid body of this embodiment three; therefore, the connection design of the cup body 2 and the lid body 1, the connection design of the cup body 2 and the movable part 3, the connection design of the inner cover 12 and the lid shell 11, and the connection design of the inner cup 22 and the cup shell 21 in this embodiment three can all refer to the design of the cup of this embodiment one, and the detailed structure will not be elaborated here.

As a variation of this embodiment, the spout 6 can be located at the bottom of the cup body 2, with other structural features adjusted accordingly. This approach also achieves the technical benefits of reducing operational difficulty, improving practicality, and reasonably increasing the cup's capacity. The specific structure can be found in the variations between the first and second embodiments and will not be detailed here.

Example 4

To solve the technical problems of the above-mentioned background technology, the fourth embodiment provides a cup. Referring to Figures 24 and 25, the fourth embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the spout 6 of the cup of the fourth embodiment is formed at the top of the cup body 2, and at least a portion of the movable member 3 can be connected to the cup body 2, or to the lid 1, or to both the lid 1 and the cup body 2.

The cup of the fourth embodiment can also achieve the effects of retaining the original flavor of the liquid, extending the liquid heat preservation time, and taking up little space when used.

The other structures of the cup involved in the fourth embodiment can be adaptively adjusted with reference to the design of any cup in the first to third embodiments, and will not be elaborated here.

In some embodiments, the diameter of the lid body 1 is smaller than the diameter of the cup body 2, and the top of the cup body 2 is provided with an opening adapted to the lid body 1, and the spout 6 is provided at a position outside the opening at the top of the cup body 2.

In some embodiments, the seal 71 is connected to the movable member 3, and at least a portion of the seal 71 forms at least a portion of the first avoidance portion 31; it is understandable that the movable member is generally made of plastic, and through this design, the contact between the liquid and the movable member can be reduced or avoided when the liquid is poured out, thereby preserving the original flavor of the liquid to the greatest extent.

As a variation of this embodiment, when the diameter of the lid body 1 is larger than the diameter of the cup body 2 , the spout 6 can be formed at the bottom of the lid body 1 .

Embodiment 5

To solve the technical problems of the above-mentioned background technology, the fifth embodiment provides a cup. Referring to Figures 26 to 30, the fifth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the spout 6 of the cup of the fifth embodiment is formed at the junction of the cup body 2 and the lid 1, and at least a portion of the movable member 3 can be connected to the cup body 2, the lid 1, or both.

The cup of the fifth embodiment can also achieve the effects of retaining the original flavor of the liquid, extending the liquid heat preservation time, and taking up little space when used.

In some embodiments, a first notch 19 is formed on the lid 1, and a second notch 28 is formed on the cup body 2. Referring to Figures 27 to 29, when the lid 1 is placed on the cup body 2, the first notch 19 and the second notch 28 are combined to form a spout 6. Under this design, a portion of the movable member 3 is located at the lid 1, so that when the movable member 3 is in the second position, the first notch 19 and the second notch 28 can be sealed by the movable member 3. A second accommodating portion 20 can be formed on the lid 1, and a portion of the movable member 3 is located in the second accommodating portion 20, thereby making the appearance of the cup more beautiful. It can be understood that when the cup includes a seal 71, the second flow opening 62 formed by the seal 71 can be connected to the first flow opening 61 formed by the combination of the first notch 19 and the second notch 28 when the lid 1 is placed on the cup body 2. The seal 71 can be installed on the lid 1 or on the cup body 2. The seal 71 can also be split into two parts and installed on the lid 1 and the cup body 2 respectively. There is no limitation here.

In some embodiments, a first notch 19 is formed on the lid 1, and the first notch 19 is combined with the top surface of the cup body 2 to form a spout 6; under this design, when the movable part 3 is connected to the lid 1, the movable part 3 does not need to be located on the cup body 2, making the overall structure of the cup simpler.

In some embodiments, a second notch 28 is formed on the cup body 2, and the second notch 28 is combined with the bottom surface of the lid 1 to form a spout 6; under this design, when the movable part 3 is connected to the cup body 2, the movable part 3 does not need to be located on the lid 1, making the overall structure of the cup simpler.

The other structures of the cup involved in the fifth embodiment can be adaptively adjusted with reference to the design of any cup in the first to fourth embodiments, and will not be elaborated here.

The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and its structure is not limited to the above-mentioned shapes. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
