Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kettle technology, specifically to a coffee pot. Background Technology

[0002] Coffee pots are commonly used containers for brewing coffee. The lid needs to be opened frequently. Traditional lids are usually snapped on, but they are easy to remove and fall off. To address this, coffee pots with screw-on lids were developed. However, since the lid needs to be opened frequently, this makes it difficult to open and takes a lot of time. Over time, this makes the process even more time-consuming. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a coffee pot that is easy to open and secure once locked. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a coffee maker.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A coffee pot includes a pot body and a lid covering the opening at the top of the pot body. The lid body is recessed downwards to form a ventilation chamber. A guide opening protrudes from the bottom center of the ventilation chamber. An inverted L-shaped water outlet channel is provided on one side of the guide opening, with the lower end of the water outlet channel extending to the lower end face of the lid. The upper end of the water outlet channel extends to the spout of the pot body. An air inlet is provided on the bottom surface of the other side of the guide opening, with the lower end of the air inlet connected to the pot body. The lower end face of the lid is connected, and a press-to-dispense structure is provided in the guide opening. Locking sliders are slidably installed in the ventilation chambers on both sides of the guide opening. The top of the lid is also covered by an upper cover. The upper ends of the locking sliders correspond to the pressing grooves on the surface of the upper cover. A retaining edge structure with an inverted trapezoidal cross-section is provided on one side of the lower end of the locking slider. The retaining edge structure penetrates the side wall of the lid and its outer end is locked in a fixing groove provided inside the opening at the top of the kettle body. A return spring is fixed on the inner side of each locking slider to push the locking slider outward.

[0005] Furthermore, the locking slider is a plate-like structure with multiple bent parts, and the upper end of the slider extends outward from the part located in the pressing groove, with the upper end of the locking slider penetrating the opening inside the pressing groove.

[0006] Furthermore, each locking slider corresponds to a spring fixing frame installed in the ventilation chamber. The inner end of the spring spring is fixedly connected to the vertical fixing part on the upper surface of the spring fixing frame, and the outer end of the spring spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the locking slider.

[0007] Furthermore, the press-to-dispense structure includes a dispensing press rod and a sealing cover plate. The dispensing press rod is vertically inserted through the guide opening. A spring structure is fitted on the dispensing press rod to move it upward. The sealing cover plate, which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the dispensing press rod, covers the lower end face of the kettle lid under the upward force of the spring structure.

[0008] Furthermore, a cylindrical fixing connection seat is provided at the top opening of the kettle body, a ring-shaped handle is fixed on the outer wall of the kettle body, and the water outlet guide is located at the opening of the cylindrical fixing connection seat on the side away from the handle.

[0009] Furthermore, the cylindrical fixing connector is fixedly fastened to the edge of the opening at the top of the kettle body by a slot on its bottom edge.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper end of the water outlet push rod extends to the upper surface of the cover, and a button structure for pressing down the water outlet push rod is provided inside the upper surface of the cover.

[0011] Furthermore, a rubber sealing ring is installed between the top cover and the opening at the top of the pot body, with the sealing ring embedded in the top cover.

[0012] The opening mechanism of this utility model lid is such that when it is necessary to open the lid, four fingers and thumb simultaneously press into the groove and squeeze forcefully, thereby overcoming the rebound springs on each side and pushing the locking sliders on both sides inward, thereby causing the retaining edge structure to disengage from the fixing groove, thus making the lid unobstructed and easy to remove quickly.

[0013] When locking, press the lid down. Because the lower end of the locking slider has an inverted trapezoidal cross-section, the outer side of the locking slider forms a downward guide slope. This overcomes the spring force of the return spring when force is applied, pushing the locking slider and the locking slider inward until the locking slider springs back into the fixed slot under the spring force, thus locking it again. Moreover, because the outer edge of the locking slider is curved, it fits tightly with the inner side of the fixed slot, making the locking slider fit more firmly and the lid more secure after locking, effectively preventing the lid from being opened accidentally.

[0014] In summary, this utility model is not only convenient to open and close, but also simple to operate. After closing, the lid can be firmly locked, effectively preventing accidental opening. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The following is a detailed description of this embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] This embodiment provides a coffee maker; please refer to the accompanying drawings in the instruction manual. Figure 1-4 .

[0023] like Figure 1-4As shown, a coffee maker includes a pot body 1 and a lid 2 covering the opening at the top of the pot body 1. The lid 2 is recessed to form a ventilation chamber 3. A guide opening 4 protrudes from the bottom center of the ventilation chamber 3. An inverted L-shaped water outlet channel 5 is provided on one side of the guide opening 4, with the lower end of the water outlet channel 5 extending to the lower end face of the lid 2 and the upper end of the water outlet channel 5 extending to the spout 6 of the pot body 1. An air inlet 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the other side of the guide opening 4. When pouring water, air enters through the air inlet 7 to balance the air pressure inside the pot body 1. The lower end of the air inlet 7 is connected to the lower end face of the lid 2. A press-to-dispense water structure is provided inside the guide opening 4. Locking sliders 11 are slidably arranged in the ventilation chambers 3 on both sides of the guide opening 4. The top of the lid 2 is also covered by a top cover 14. The upper ends of the locking sliders 11 correspond to the pressing grooves 12 located on the surface of the top cover 14. A retaining edge structure 13 with an inverted trapezoidal cross-section is provided on one side of the lower end of 11. The retaining edge structure 13 penetrates the side wall of the lid 2 and its outer end is locked in the fixing groove 15 provided on the inner side of the top opening of the body 1. The outer edge of the retaining edge structure 13 is an arc edge and is tightly fitted with the inner side of the fixing groove 15. The inner side of each locking slider 11 is fixed with a spring 16 for pushing the locking slider 11 outward. A cylindrical fixing connecting seat 19 is provided at the top opening of the body 1. A ring-shaped handle 20 is fixed on the outer wall of the body 1. The water outlet guide edge 21 is provided at the opening of the cylindrical fixing connecting seat 19 on the side away from the handle 20. The cylindrical fixing connecting seat 19 is fixedly fastened to the edge of the top opening of the body 1 through the groove on its bottom edge. A rubber sealing ring 18 is provided between the top cover 14 and the top opening of the body 1, which is embedded in the top cover 14. The rubber sealing ring 18 provides a sealing effect.

[0024] Specifically: The locking slider 11 is a plate-shaped structure with multiple bent parts, and the upper part located in the pressing groove 12 extends outward. The upper end of the locking slider 11 passes through the opening inside the pressing groove 12. Each locking slider 11 corresponds to a spring fixing bracket 17 set in the ventilation chamber 3. The inner end of the rebound spring 16 is fixedly connected to the vertical fixing part on the upper surface of the spring fixing bracket 17, and the outer end of the rebound spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the locking slider 11.

[0025] The press-to-dispense structure is existing technology. For example, the press-to-dispense structure includes a dispensing press rod 8 and a sealing cover plate 10. The dispensing press rod 8 is vertically inserted into the guide opening 4. The upper end of the dispensing press rod 8 extends to the upper surface of the upper cover 14. A button structure 22 for pressing down the dispensing press rod 8 is provided in the upper surface of the upper cover 14. A spring structure 9 is sleeved on the dispensing press rod 8 to move it upward. The sealing cover plate 10, which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the dispensing press rod 8, covers the lower end face of the lid 2 under the upward force of the spring structure 9. Alternatively, the self-locking switch structure of the invention patent CN110338613A can be used to facilitate pressing down and locking the sealing cover plate 10 when dispensing water, and locking it when closing. The self-locking switch structure will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Working principle of this utility model:

[0027] The water pouring mechanism is the same as that of existing coffee pots. The difference lies in the opening mechanism of the lid 2. When it is necessary to open the lid, four fingers and thumb are simultaneously inserted into the pressing groove 12 and squeezed to overcome the rebound springs 16 on each side and push the locking sliders 11 on both sides inward. This causes the retaining edge structure 13 to disengage from the fixing slot 15, thereby removing the lid 2 from the obstruction and making it easy to remove the lid 2 quickly.

[0028] When fastening, press the lid 2 downwards. Since the lower end of the locking slider 11 has a retaining edge structure 13 with an inverted trapezoidal cross section, the outer side of the retaining edge structure 13 forms a downward guide slope structure. Thus, when force is applied, the elastic force of the return spring 16 can be overcome, and the retaining edge structure 13 together with the locking slider 11 is pushed inward until the retaining edge structure 13 springs back into the fixing slot 15 under the elastic force of the return spring 16, and is locked again. Moreover, since the outer edge of the retaining edge structure 13 is an arc edge, the outer edge of the retaining edge structure 13 fits tightly with the inner side of the fixing slot 15. This makes the retaining edge structure 13 fit more firmly with the fixing slot 15, and the lid 2 is also more secure after being fastened, effectively preventing the lid 2 from being opened accidentally.

[0029] Of course, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
