In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize the application of other processes and/or the use of other materials.

Referring to fig. 1 to 13, the invention discloses a cup cover structure, which comprises a main cover body 1 and an auxiliary cover body 2;

the main cover body 1 is used for movably sealing the opening of the cup, and the upper surface of the main cover body is provided with a water passing hole 11 and an air duct 12;

the auxiliary cover body 2 is rotatably matched with the upper surface of the main cover body 1 and is axially limited with the main cover body 1 to prevent the auxiliary cover body 2 from falling out of the main cover body 1; the auxiliary cover body 2 is provided with a water passing port 21 for opening and closing the water passing hole 11 along with the rotation movement of the auxiliary cover body 2, and an air guide groove 22 for movably matching the air guide pipe 12, and the air guide groove 22 is communicated with the atmosphere.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide groove 22 is provided with a communication groove 23 connected to the peripheral surface of the auxiliary cover 2, the depth of the communication groove 23 is greater than that of the air guide groove 22 so as to form a step therebetween, and the air guide pipe 12 is positioned at the communication groove 23 when the auxiliary cover 2 is rotated to a state that the water passing hole 11 is opposite to the water passing hole 21. After the auxiliary cover body 2 rotates to the state that the water passing hole 11 is opposite to the water passing hole 21, the air guide pipe 12 is opposite to the communicating groove 23 to realize the maximum ventilation flow, so that the air pressure difference inside and outside the cup can be quickly balanced, water can smoothly flow out of the water passing hole 11, the discontinuous feeling of pause is avoided when the water passing hole 11 with smaller size is used for pouring water, and the user experience is improved; meanwhile, when the water passing hole 11 is in a non-open state, the air duct 12 is positioned in the air duct 22 and far away from the communication groove 23, two sides of the air duct 12 are wrapped by the air duct 22, and the corresponding water leakage amount is greatly reduced.

Further, the water passing holes 11 and the air guide pipes 12 are positioned at two ends of the same diameter of the main cover body 1, the communicating grooves 23 and the water passing holes 21 are positioned at two ends of the same diameter of the auxiliary cover body 2, so that the product design is facilitated, the appearance is more attractive, and the situation that the air guide pipes 12 are not aligned with the communicating grooves 23 when the water passing holes 11 are aligned with the water passing holes 21 due to product tolerance is avoided as much as possible.

Secondly, because the air duct 12 is always communicated with the atmosphere through the air duct 22 and the communicating groove 23, when the cup is stored in an environment which is easy to shake such as an automobile, a small amount of water is inevitably splashed out from the end part of the air duct 12, and flows to the upper surface of the main cover body 1 through the communicating groove 23, at the moment, the upper surface of the main cover body 1 is designed into a circular groove 13 structure, the bottom wall of the circular groove 13 is inclined to the axis of the main cover body 1, the water passing hole 11 is arranged at the lowest position of the circular groove 13, and the air duct 12 is arranged at the highest position of the circular groove 13. With this structure, even if a small amount of water splashes out/overflows, the water is kept down by the side wall of the circular groove 13, and does not splash out of the peripheral surface of the cup, but returns into the air guide groove 22 or flows to the water hole 11 along the bottom wall of the inclined circular groove 13.

Furthermore, the axis of the circular groove 13 is provided with a convex column 14, the auxiliary cover body 2 is of an annular structure sleeved on the convex column 14, and the convex column 14 plays a role in positioning for the installation and rotation of the auxiliary cover body 2; the upper surface of the auxiliary cover body 2 is provided with a poking hand salient point 24, so that a user can conveniently poke and rotate the auxiliary cover body 2; the air guide groove 22 is an arc groove coaxially provided with the boss 14, and the air guide pipe 12 moves between both ends of the air guide groove 22 with the rotation of the sub cover 2, so that the rotation of the sub cover 2 can be limited in angle. In the first and second embodiments described below, the boss 14 is made of a transparent material, and can be used to view the inside of the cup; in the second embodiment described below, the upper end of the annular wall of the auxiliary lid 2 protrudes inward along the radial direction of the auxiliary lid 2 to form a ring of retainer ring 25, the retainer ring 25 is movably fitted on the top surface of the boss 14, and a ring of sealing flange 251 protrudes toward the top surface of the boss 14 to perform a sealing function to prevent water from leaking between the annular wall of the auxiliary lid 2 and the boss 14.

Finally, the side wall of the circular groove 13 is provided with a water pouring groove 15 corresponding to the water passing hole 11, the water pouring groove 15 is provided with an inclined surface which expands outwards towards the peripheral direction of the main cover body 1, so that water can be conveniently collected into the water pouring groove 15 and flow outwards of the main cover body 1 when flowing out of the water passing hole 11, and the water drinking experience of a user is better.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the peripheral surface of the main cover 1 is provided with a mounting ring groove 16 for mounting a sealing ring, and when assembled with the sealing ring, the movable seal with the opening of the cup can be realized.

Further, the peripheral surface of the main lid 1 is provided with a handle 17, which can provide a place for a user to apply force to break the main lid 1 off to separate the main lid 1 from the cup, thereby rapidly opening the main lid 1. In addition, an external thread may be provided on the peripheral surface of the main lid 1, and the external thread may be screwed with an internal thread of the cup opening to achieve the purpose of movable sealing.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the sidewall of the water passing port 21 is provided with a buckling hand 26, and the buckling hand 26 is a slope or a curved surface concavely formed on the sidewall of the water passing port 21, so as to facilitate buckling and removing the auxiliary cover 2.
