Fig. 3 is a schematic view of the lid 2 in fig. 1, wherein (a) is an exploded schematic view of the lid 2, (b) is a schematic view of a first link 23 disposed in the lid 2, and fig. 4 is a schematic view of the first lid 21 in fig. 3, wherein (a) is a schematic view in a bottom direction, and (b) is a schematic view in a top direction, and fig. 5 is a schematic view of a second lid 22, and referring to fig. 3 to 5, after the lid 2 is mounted to the opening portion 11 of the container body 1, in order to limit the removal of the lid 2, and further increase the difficulty level when the lid 2 is opened, the lids are respectively provided with the first lid 21, the second lid 22, and the first link 23, the second lid 22 is slidably mounted to the first lid 21, and the first link 23 is received in the first lid 21 and coupled to the second lid 22. Specifically, in order to easily mount the second cover 22 to the first cover 21, the first cover 21 may be provided with a first accommodating portion 214 in the middle portion thereof, for example, a first accommodating hole may be provided in the middle portion of the first cover 21, and the first accommodating hole may be provided coaxially with the sealing portion 215 and penetrate the first cover 21. The edge of the first accommodating portion 214 is provided with two first wall portions 217, the first wall portions 217 are respectively located at two radial sides of the first accommodating portion 214, the first wall portions 217 extend along the axial direction of the first cover 21 (i.e. the direction in the same direction as the axial direction CE of the container body 1 when the cup cover 2 is mounted on the container body 1), mounting notches 217a are respectively formed between adjacent ends of the two first wall portions 217, and the two first wall portions 217 are respectively provided with a locking wall 217 b. The second lid 22 is provided with a first protrusion 222, the first protrusion 222 protrudes in the axial direction of the second lid 22 (i.e., in the same direction as the axial direction CE of the container body 1 when the lid 2 is attached to the container body 1), and the first protrusion 222 is provided with a locking piece 222a, and the locking piece 222a can pass through the attachment notch 217a of the first wall 217, so that the first protrusion 222 can be accommodated in the first accommodating portion 214 and can slide in the first accommodating portion 214 in a rotatable manner. When the first protrusion 222 slides in the first accommodating portion 214, the locking block 222a slides along the first wall portion 217, and when the locking wall 217b is attached, the second cover 22 is fixed. Here, the direction in which the locking piece 222a slides rotationally from the attachment notch 217a and abuts against the locking wall 217b is referred to as a first direction D1, the direction in which the locking piece 222a slides rotationally from the locking wall 217b and reaches the attachment notch 217a is referred to as a second direction D2, and the rotational direction of the second direction D2 is opposite to the rotational direction of the first direction D1. By providing the locking wall 217b on the first cover 21 and the locking piece 222a on the second cover 22, the second cover 22 can be attached to and detached from the first cover 21 so as to be rotatable and slidable.

Preferably, as an embodiment in which the second cover 22 drives the first link 23 (for example, the lower portion 23b of the first link 23) to extend to the outside of the first cover 21, the first cover 21 is provided with a second latch groove 212, the second cover 22 is provided with a second latch 221, the second latch 221 is inserted into the second latch groove 212, the upper portion 23a of the first link 23 extends into the second latch groove 212 and abuts against the second latch 221, and the second latch 221 slides in the second latch groove 212 along with the sliding of the second cover 22 relative to the first cover 21 and drives the lower portion 23b of the first link 23 to extend to the outside of the first cover 21. Specifically, for example, since the second cover 22 is rotationally slid with respect to the first cover 21, the second latch groove 212 may be provided to extend in the circumferential direction of the first cover 21, and the second latch 221 may be provided to extend in the circumferential direction of the second cover 22. The first cover 21 is further provided with a second receiving portion 213 for receiving the first link 23, one end of the second receiving portion 213 communicates with the second latch groove 212, and the other end passes through the first latch 211. The restricting portion 12 of the container body 1 is provided so as to be positioned below the first latch groove 121 (see fig. 2), and communicates with the second accommodating portion 213 after the lid 2 is attached to the container body 1.

Accordingly, after the cap 2 is mounted to the container body 1, the second latch 221 slides in the second latch groove 212 while rotating around the center of rotation of the first protrusion 222 as a center, and thus drives the first link 23 to extend to the outside (lower portion) of the first cover 21 through the second receiving portion 213 and to be inserted into the stopper 12 through the first latch groove 121, along with the rotational sliding of the first protrusion 222 of the second cover in the first receiving portion 214.

As an example of the second latch 221 driving the lower portion 23b of the first link 23 to extend to the outside (lower portion) of the first cover 21, the upper portion 23a of the first link 23 may be provided with a first inclined surface 231, the first inclined surface 231 may be inclined with respect to the sliding direction (first direction D1) of the second latch 221, specifically, the first inclined surface 231 may gradually rise along the first direction D1, the second latch 221 may abut against the first inclined surface 231, and when the second cover 22 slides in the first direction D1 on the first cover 21, the second latch 221 may push the first link 23 in the second latch groove 212 to slide in the direction of extending to the outside (lower portion) of the first cover 21. For example, the surface where the second latch portion 221 and the first link 23 abut against each other is a flat surface, and when the second latch portion 221 slides in the second latch groove 212, the second latch portion 221 simultaneously slides along the first inclined surface 231 of the upper portion 23a of the first link 23, thereby pressing and pushing the first link 23 to slide in the second accommodating portion 213 in a direction to protrude to the outside of the first cover 21. Of course, instead of this embodiment, the upper portion 23a of the first link 23 may be provided as a flat surface, and the contact surface between the second latch portion 221 and the first link 23 may be provided as an inclined surface.

Preferably, in order to drive the first link 23 and retract the first cover 21, a first elastic member 24 is further provided in the first cover 21, one end of the first elastic member 24 abuts against the first cover 21, the other end abuts against the first link 23, and the first elastic member 24 is biased in a direction in which the lower portion 23b of the first link 23 retracts into the first cover 21. Further preferably, the first elastic member 24 may be a coil spring, and correspondingly, a spring mounting seat 213a may be provided in the second accommodating portion 213 accommodating the first elastic member 24, a spring abutting portion 232 may be provided in the first link 23, and when the first link 23 is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 213, one end of the coil spring abuts against the spring mounting seat 213a and the other end abuts against the spring abutting portion 232. In addition, a stopper 213b may be disposed in the second accommodating portion 213 to limit the displacement of the first link 23 retracted into the first cover 21. Accordingly, when the second cover 22 slides in the second direction D2 opposite to the first direction D1 on the first cover 21, the second latch 221 also slides along the first inclined surface 231 of the upper portion 23a of the first link 23, and at the same time, the first elastic member 24 pushes the first link 23 to slide in a direction of extending into the second latch groove 212, so that the first link 23 retracts from the restriction portion 12. When the first link 23 is retracted from the restricting portion 12, the restriction of the rotational sliding of the first lid 21 with respect to the container body 1 is released, whereby the cup lid 2 can be detached from the container body 1.

Fig. 6 is a schematic view of the container body 1 (the cup body is omitted), and referring to fig. 6 and with additional reference to fig. 3, the first link 23 may be coupled to an opening and closing portion (not shown) of the container in order to further improve the safety and reliability of the container. Here, the switch unit may be, for example, a micro-switch or the like, and controls on/off of a power supply of the main unit 102, the heating mechanism, or the like of, for example, a soybean milk maker, a juice extractor, or the like. The switch unit may be provided at any position that can be controlled by the first link 23, and for example, may be configured to operate by pushing the microswitch to turn on (close) when the first link 23 is inserted into the restriction unit 12 (i.e., when the cup lid 2 is closed to the container body 1 and the locking piece 222a of the second lid 22 is attached to the locking wall 217b with respect to the first lid 21), thereby turning on the power of the container. When the cup cover 2 needs to be disassembled, the second cover body 22 must be firstly slid to enable the first connecting rod 23 to be pushed by the first elastic piece 24 and retract from the limiting part 12, at the moment, the lower part 23b of the first connecting rod 23 does not push the micro switch any more, so that the micro switch is disconnected, and the power supply of the container is cut off. The sliding of the second lid body 22 is continued until the first link 23 is completely retracted from the restriction portion 12, during which the functional elements (e.g., the main body portion 102) in the container main body 1 can be completely stopped. Thereby, it is ensured that the functional parts in the container body 1 have completely stopped working before the entire cap 2 is removed with respect to the container body 1, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the container.

Preferably, as an embodiment in which the first link 23 is coupled to a switch portion (micro switch) of the container, the second link portion 14 may be provided in the container body 1, the second link portion 14 abuts against a lower portion 23b of the first link 23, the second link portion 14 and the first link 23 slide in the restriction portion 12 in an interlocking manner, and the switch portion is turned on or off as the second link portion 14 slides. Specifically, the switch portion may be disposed at the bottom of the container body 1, the second link portion 14 may include a second link 141 and a second link shaft 142, the second link 141 slides within the restriction portion 12, and the second link 141 may be provided with a guide groove 142 to guide the sliding of the second link 141, and correspondingly, the restriction portion 12 may be provided with a guide block 123 therein and inserted into the guide groove 142 of the second link 141. The second link 141 is provided at a lower portion thereof with a slide hole 143, an upper end of the second link shaft 142 is inserted into the slide hole 143, and a lower end of the second link shaft 142 abuts against a switch portion (micro switch). When the first link 23 is inserted into the restriction portion 12, the second link 141 is pushed to slide toward the bottom of the container body 1 in the restriction portion 12, and the second link 141 is made to abut against the second link shaft 142, and when the first link 23 further pushes the second link 141 to slide toward the bottom of the container body 1, the second link 141 pushes the second link shaft 142, and thereby the switch portion is pushed, and the power supply of the container is turned on. Correspondingly, when the first link 23 is retracted from the restriction part 12, the first link 23 no longer pushes the second link part 14, thereby turning off the switch part.

In the above embodiment, the second cover 22 is slidably provided on the first cover 21, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the second cover 22 may be provided to slide in another manner with respect to the first cover 21, for example, linearly or curvilinearly.

The various features described in the foregoing detailed description may be combined in any manner and, for the sake of unnecessary repetition, various combinations are not intended to be encompassed by the invention.

The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of the present invention and are not restrictive, and any modifications or equivalent substitutions which do not depart from the scope of the present invention should be included in the technical solutions of the present invention.
