a straw opening, which is arranged on the lid body; a straw, which is movably arranged in the straw opening; a closure member, which is movably connected to the lid body; a button, which is movably connected to the lid body, wherein the button can move between a locked position and an unlocked position relative to the lid body and the closure member. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A container lid with two drinking openings, comprising: a lid body (4), which is configured to be attached to a container main body (1); a direct drinking opening (5), which is arranged on the lid body (4), wherein the direct drinking opening (5) is communicated to the container main body (1), and a material stored in the container main body (1) is directly drunk through the direct drinking opening (5); a straw opening (6), which is arranged on the lid body (4); a straw (7), which is movably arranged in the straw opening (6); a closure member (3), which is movably connected to the lid body (4) and is configured to selectively cover the direct drinking opening (5) and the straw opening (6), wherein the closure member (3) is able to move between a first position covering the direct drinking opening (5) and the straw opening (6) and a second position not covering the direct drinking opening (5) and the straw opening (6); a button (10), which is movably connected to the lid body (4) and is configured to selectively keep the closure member (3) in the first position, wherein the button (10) is able to move between a locked position and an unlocked position relative to the lid body (4) and the closure member (3); and a straw locking member (111), which is operably arranged on the lid body (4) and is configured to: selectively store the straw (7) in the locked position inside the straw opening (6) and allow the straw (7) to move between the locked position and an unlocked position where the straw extends out of the straw opening (6). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, further comprising a straw guide member (120), wherein the straw guide member (120) is detachably connected to the lid body (4), and a channel (122) which is roughly coaxial with the straw opening (6) and allows the straw to move is arranged on the straw guide member (120). ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 2, wherein an avoidance portion (124) for allowing the straw locking member (111) to pass through is arranged on the straw guide member (120); and a clamping slot (8) is provided at a position, corresponding to the avoidance portion (124), on the straw (7). ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, wherein the straw locking member (111) comprises a control member (15), a locking member (9), and a reset member (113); the control member (15) protrudes out of the lid body (4) for user operation; and the locking member (9) is detachably connected to the lid body (4), and is movably combined with the straw (7) under the action of the reset member (113). ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 4, wherein a first inclined surface (16) is arranged on the locking member (9); a second inclined surface (118) that is matched with the first inclined surface (16) is arranged on the control member (15); a protrusion (13) is further arranged on the locking member (9); the protrusion (13) cooperates with the clamping slot (8) on the straw (7) to store the straw (7) in the straw opening (6); and when the control member (15) is pressed, the second inclined surface (118) and the first inclined surface (16) are combined to generate a force that overcomes an acting force of the reset member (113), so that the straw (7) is unlocked and extends out of the straw opening (6). ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, further comprising a straw limiting member (130), wherein the straw limiting member (130) is fixedly connected to the straw (7) in an adjustable manner and is located in the straw opening (6); and a size of the straw limiting member is greater than the straw opening (7), thereby controlling an extending amount of straw (7) extending out of the straw opening (6). ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 6, wherein a first elastic member (132) is arranged between the straw limiting member (130) and the straw guide member (120); and the first elastic member (132) promotes the straw (7) to extend out of the straw opening (6) and prevents the straw (7) from easily retracting back into the straw opening (6) during use by a user. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, wherein a first sealing member (200) is arranged between the control member (15) and the lid body (4); and the first sealing member (200) seals the control member (15) and the container main body (1) under the action of a force generated by the combination of the first inclined surface (16) and the second inclined surface (118). ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, wherein the closure member (3) is rotatably connected to the lid body (4) through a rotating shaft; a second sealing member (136) is arranged at a position, corresponding to the direct drinking opening (5) and the straw opening (6), on the closure member (3); the second sealing member (136) is arranged in the closure member in an interference manner; and a second elastic member for keeping the closure member (3) in an open state is arranged between the rotating shaft and the lid body (4). ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, wherein a locking boss (38) is further arranged at one end of the closure member away from the rotating shaft; a duct (26) is arranged on the locking boss (38); a hole (40) for allowing the locking boss (38) to pass through is arranged on the lid body (4); a second locking member (42) is arranged on the button (10); and when the second locking member (42) passes through the hole (40), the closure member (3) is locked on the lid body (4). ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, wherein a handle (74) that is rotated between a storage position and an opening position is further arranged on the lid body (4), and a rotating shaft of the handle (74) and a rotating shaft of the closure member (3) are coaxially arranged. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, wherein an avoidance stage (300) is further arranged on the lid body (4); the avoidance stage (300) provides a space when the handle (74) is in a storage position; and a shape of the avoidance stage (300) is matched with a shape of the handle (74), so that the entire lid body (4) appears as a complete whole when the handle is in a stored state. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, wherein a groove (82) for making the handle (74) located at the storage position is arranged on the button (10); and when the handle (74) is in the storage position, movement of the button (10) towards an unlocking direction is restricted to avoid accidental opening of the closure member (3) due to a misoperation. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, wherein a third elastic member (90) is arranged between the button (10) and the lid body (4), and the third elastic member (90) provides a force for the button (10) to be in a locked state. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The container lid with the two drinking openings according to claim 1, wherein a hole (310) for allowing the control member (15) on the straw locking member (111) to pass through is provided on the closure member (3).
