[0046] The present application is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a foldable kettle, which includes a base 1 and a foldable kettle body 3. The foldable kettle body 3 is detachably connected to the base 1, and the bottom opening of the foldable kettle body 3 is sealed by the base 1. The foldable kettle body 3 is provided with a folding groove 30, and the foldable kettle body 3 can be folded at the folding groove 30 (such as Figure 6 The folding groove 30 extends along the axis of the folding body 3, so that the folding body 3 can be folded horizontally, improving the stability of the folding kettle when in use. It can be understood that the folding groove 30 passes through the folding body 3 along the axis of the folding body 3, so that the folding body 3 can be folded smoothly. The folding groove 300 can also be replaced by an elastic strip, which can change the shape of the folding body 3 by causing the elastic strip to produce elastic deformation.
[0048] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The top opening of the folding kettle body 3 may be provided with a kettle cover 5, which may be provided as a whole with the folding kettle body 3 or as two separate parts with the folding kettle body 3. A notch may be provided at the edge of the kettle cover 5 to form a spout 36 of the folding kettle. Preferably, a notch is provided at the junction (corner) of two adjacent side surfaces of the kettle cover 5, that is, a spout 36 is formed at the junction (corner) of two adjacent side surfaces of the folding kettle body 3 to facilitate pouring of the liquid in the folding kettle body 3. A heating plate may be provided in the base 1 to heat the liquid in the folding kettle body 3.
[0049] It can be understood that the cross section of the folding pot body 3 can be set to any appropriate shape, such as a circle, a square, a polygon or an irregular shape. The side wall of the folding pot body 3 can be parallel to the axis of the folding pot body 3, that is, the edge of the longitudinal section of the folding pot body 3 (the section passing through the axis of the folding pot body 3) is a straight line, and the straight line is parallel to the axis of the folding pot body 3; the side wall of the folding pot body 3 can also be non-parallel to the axis of the folding pot body 3, that is, the edge of the longitudinal section of the folding pot body 3 (the section passing through the axis of the folding pot body 3) is a curve; preferably, the side wall of the folding pot body 3 is parallel to the axis of the folding pot body 3, and when the folding pot body 3 is folded horizontally, along the axis direction of the folding pot body 3, the side wall of the folding pot body 3 can be completely fitted without leaving a gap, thereby reducing the space occupied by the folding pot body 3; more preferably, the folding pot body 3 is a square (or polygonal) pot body, that is, the side wall of the folding pot body 3 is a flat plate structure, so that the space occupied by the folding pot body 3 is minimized.
[0050] Preferably, the foldable kettle body 3 is made of PP material. On the one hand, the foldable kettle body 3 has higher tensile strength and bending fatigue strength, so that the foldable kettle body 3 is not easily damaged after multiple foldings; on the other hand, the foldable kettle body 3 has higher rigidity and heat resistance, so that the foldable kettle body 3 has higher stability when in use and is not easily deformed.
[0051] Further, see Figure 2, the folding kettle body 3 can be snapped to the base 1, the connection is reliable, and it is easy to install and disassemble. Specifically, an elastic snap 140 can be provided on the base 1, and a block 34 cooperating with the elastic snap 140 can be provided on the folding kettle body 3. The elastic snap 140 is snapped to the block 34, so that the base 1 is connected to the folding kettle body 3. The elastic snap 140 can be set as a cantilever structure, and the end of the cantilever structure facing the bottom of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the end of the cantilever structure away from the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a snap-on boss; a guiding slope is set on the side of the block 34 facing the base 1, so that the folding kettle body 3 is easier to install, and the side of the block 34 away from the base 1 is a lap plane to avoid slipping; a pulling force is applied to the block 34 in the direction of the base 1 by the elastic snap 140, so as to realize a reliable connection between the folding kettle body 3 and the base 1. It can be understood that the folding kettle body 3 and the base 1 can also be connected in other ways, such as adsorption (vacuum adsorption, electrostatic adsorption or magnetic adsorption, etc.) or threaded fasteners.
[0052] Furthermore, an annular groove 10 may be provided on the top of the base 1, and the folding kettle body 3 is inserted into the annular groove 10, so as to form inner and outer limits for the folding kettle body 3. That is, the inner side wall of the annular groove 10 supports the inner side wall of the folding kettle body 3 to prevent the folding kettle body 3 from shrinking inward; the outer side wall of the annular groove 10 supports the outer side wall of the folding kettle body 3 to prevent the folding kettle body 3 from opening outward; thereby ensuring that the folding kettle body 3 does not deform during use, and preventing the liquid in the folding kettle body 3 from flowing out and causing danger.
[0053] Specifically, an inner boss 12 may be provided at the center of the top of the base 1, and an outer convex ring 14 may be provided at the edge of the top of the base 1, with an annular gap between the inner boss 12 and the outer convex ring 14, and the annular gap forms the annular groove 10. When an elastic buckle 140 is provided on the base 1, the elastic buckle 140 may be provided on the outer convex ring 14. When a heating plate is provided in the base 1, the heating plate may serve as the inner boss 12, and an annular gap between the heating plate and the outer convex ring 14 may form the annular groove 10.
[0054] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A folding handle 32 can be provided on the folding kettle body 3, and the folding handle 32 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the folding kettle body 3. The folding handle 32 is in the folded state (such as Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , the foldable handle 32 can be attached to the outer wall of the foldable kettle body 3 to reduce space occupation. Figure 2The foldable kettle body 3 is preferably detachable from the outer wall of the foldable kettle body 3, so as to facilitate holding. The rotation axis direction of the foldable handle 32 is preferably parallel to the axis direction of the foldable kettle body 3, so that the foldable handle 32 can only bear the force in the axis direction, and avoid bending and deformation of the foldable handle 32. It can be understood that the rotation axis direction of the foldable handle 32 can also be set at an angle with the axis direction of the foldable kettle body 3, as long as the two ends of the foldable handle 32 are respectively connected to the upper part and the lower part of the foldable kettle body 3.
[0055] Furthermore, the foldable kettle body 3 can be provided with two foldable handles 32, and the two foldable handles 32 are arranged at an interval to form two mutually separated stress-bearing parts on the foldable kettle body 3, so that the foldable handles 32 can achieve greater support reliability with a smaller contact area, thereby making the foldable handles 32 occupy a smaller space; the two foldable handles can be rotated to move closer to or away from each other to achieve the switching of the foldable handles 32 between the use state and the folded state; when the foldable kettle body 3 is provided with a corner (a corner is formed at the junction of two adjacent side surfaces, for example, when the foldable kettle body 3 is a square kettle body, a corner is formed at the side edge of the square kettle body), preferably, the two foldable handles 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the corner of the foldable kettle body 3, so that the connecting line of the two stress-bearing parts can be closer to the center of gravity of the foldable kettle body 3, better support the folding kettle, and effectively prevent the folding kettle from tilting.
[0056] Furthermore, a handle limit block 16 can be provided on the base 1. The handle limit block 16 can be provided at the top of the base 1 and located on the side of the folding handle 32 away from the folding kettle body 3. The handle limit block 16 can contact the folding handle 32 within the rotation range of the folding handle 32 to limit the position of the folding handle 32 in the use state to prevent the folding handle 32 from rotating when in use, causing the kettle body to become unstable and the liquid in the kettle to flow out and cause danger. Preferably, the handle limit block 16 is provided between the two folding handles 32 to limit the two folding handles at the same time without interfering with the folding of the folding handle 32.
[0057] Furthermore, an anti-slip groove 160 can be provided on the handle limit block 16, and the anti-slip groove 160 extends along the circumferential direction of the base 1. The lower part of the folding handle 32 can be inserted into the anti-slip groove 160, so that the folding handle 32 can directly apply a supporting force to the base 1 through the anti-slip groove 160, thereby preventing the base 1 from falling off when the folding kettle is lifted, thereby increasing the safety of use.
[0058] Further, see Figure 3 The folding groove 30 may include an inner folding groove 300 and an outer folding groove 302, wherein the inner folding groove 300 is arranged on the inner side wall of the folding kettle body 3, and the outer folding groove 302 is arranged on the outer side wall of the folding kettle body 3. Figure 6), the inner folding groove 300 opens toward the inner side of the folding kettle body 3, so that the kettle body parts on both sides of the inner folding groove 300 can be flattened into a plane, or approximately flattened into a plane, thereby compressing the space inside the folding kettle body 3 and reducing the volume of the folding kettle body 3; the outer folding groove 302 opens toward the outer side of the folding kettle body 3, thereby reducing the obstruction of the folding kettle body 3 when it is compressed, making folding easier, and preventing the outer side of the folding kettle body 3 from being torn by tension.
[0059] Preferably, the inner folding grooves 300 and the outer folding grooves 302 are alternately distributed, so that one outer folding groove 302 is arranged between two adjacent inner folding grooves 300, and one inner folding groove 300 is arranged between two adjacent outer folding grooves 302, which has a simple structure and can reduce the number of folding grooves 30, thereby ensuring the integrity of the folding pot body 3 to the greatest extent. It can be understood that multiple inner folding grooves 300 can also be distributed continuously, or multiple outer folding grooves 300 can be distributed continuously.
[0060] Furthermore, when the folding kettle body 3 is provided with a corner, the folding groove 30 is preferably arranged at the junction (corner) of two adjacent side surfaces of the folding kettle body 3, and folding is performed by utilizing the traces of the junction of the two side surfaces of the folding kettle body 3 itself, which makes folding more convenient. After folding at the junction of the two adjacent side surfaces, the kettle body parts on both sides are located in the same plane, eliminating the space occupied by the corner and better reducing the volume of the folding kettle body 3.
[0061] It can be understood that the folding kettle body 3 can have a folding groove 30 at only a portion of the junctions between two adjacent side surfaces, so that the folding kettle body 3 is partially folded; preferably, a folding groove 30 is provided at the junctions between any two adjacent side surfaces of the folding kettle body 3, so that the volume of the folding kettle body 3 after folding is minimized.
[0062] Preferably, the groove width 30a of the folding groove 30 (in use state) is 0.1-5mm, and more preferably, the groove width 30a of the folding groove 30 is 0.2mm, and the wall thickness 30b of the groove bottom of the folding groove is 0.1-0.5mm, which can meet the requirements of folding deformation and the strength requirements of the folding pot body 3, avoiding damage to the folding pot body 3 or water leakage.
[0063] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
