The bottle cap consists of a cap body 1 and a cap ring 2 which are connected, wherein the cap body 1 and the cap ring 2 are always connected together.

Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional structure of the bottle cap in an embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in an initial closing state, the cap body 1 is screwed tightly on the bottle mouth 61 of the container 6, the cap ring 2 is clamped on the limiting ring 62 below the bottle mouth 61, and the extension strip 11 and the U-shaped strip 21 are locked on the avoiding portion 20.

Through the chucking of lid ring 2 in

spacing ring

62, 1 spiral shell of lid is tight in bottleneck 61, and locks through fore-and-aft thin short connecting teeth 3 between lid 1 and the lid ring 2, ensures the stability of bottle lid, avoids the bottle lid not hard up during transportation, storage etc..

Moreover, although the cover ring 2 breaks the initial continuity due to the relief part 20, the extension strip 11 integrally connected with the cover body 1 passes through the relief part 20 of the cover ring 2 and wraps in the U-shaped strip 21 integrally connected with the relief part 20 of the cover ring 2, and the extension strip 11, the U-shaped strip 21 and the relief part 20 are locked together through the transverse thin and short connecting teeth 3, so that the stability of the cover ring 2 is ensured, and the cover ring 2 is still formed into a continuous annular structure; the coupling teeth 3 formed between the extension bar 11, the U-shaped bar 21, and the escape portion 20 can prevent the extension bar 11 and the U-shaped bar 21 from being warped or deformed by being closely attached to the bottle mouth 61.
