DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the present embodiment provides a moka kettle, which comprises a funnel 1, a kettle body 2, a heating assembly 3, a cup 4, a support 5, a tray 6, a water outlet pipe 7, a bottom plate 8, and a top plate 9. The kettle body 2 comprises a kettle cover 21 and a kettle body 22.

[0024] The heating assembly 3 is installed at the bottom of the kettle body 22, and the heating assembly 3 is used for heating the bottom of the kettle body 22. The heating assembly 3 comprises a connector 31, a heating tube 32, a temperature controller 33, and a base 34. The connector 31 is used for electrically connecting with an external power supply, and the connector 31 is also electrically connected with the temperature controller 33 to provide power. The connector 31 is connected to the upper surface of the base 34, and the bottom of the kettle body 22 can be placed on the base 34. When the bottom of the kettle body 22 is placed on the base 34, the connector 31 and the temperature controller 33 are electrically connected. When the bottom of the kettle body 22 is away from the base 34, the electrical connection between the connector 31 and the temperature controller 33 is disconnected. The temperature controller 33 is electrically connected with the heating tube 32, and the temperature controller 33 is used for driving the heating tube 32 to work. The heating tube 32 is attached to the bottom of the kettle body 22, and the heating tube 32 is used for heating the bottom of the kettle body 22. In the case where the temperature controller 33 is not used, the connector 31 can also directly supply power to the heating tube 32 to achieve the heating effect.

[0025] A dry-burning sheet (not shown in the figure) can also be installed between the temperature controller 33 and the bottom of the kettle body 22. The dry-burning sheet is attached to the bottom of the kettle body 22. The dry-burning sheet generally deforms at a specific high temperature, and the deformed dry-burning sheet can contact the contact of the temperature controller 33 to disconnect the power supply. The specific high temperature can be the temperature that can be reached after all the water in the kettle body 22 is completely boiled off. The dry-burning sheet disconnecting the power supply can effectively prevent the kettle body 22 from being burned out.

[0026] The kettle cover 21 is sealed and connected to the port of the kettle body 22. The connection between the kettle cover 21 and the kettle body 22 can be achieved by matching the inner thread and the outer thread to realize the sealed connection. The kettle body 22 and the kettle cover 21 can be integrally manufactured. In order to further realize the sealed connection, a sealing ring 13 can be installed between the kettle cover 21 and the upper port of the kettle body 22.

[0027] The kettle body 22 is in the shape of a circular truncated cone with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part. The funnel 1 is built in the kettle body 22. Referring to Figure 4 , the upper end of the funnel 1 extends outwardly to form a convex ring, and the port of the kettle body 22 extends inwardly to form a step. The convex ring is abutted on the step to realize the installation of the funnel 1 on the top of the kettle body 22.

[0028] The funnel 1 comprises a cylinder 11 and a guide pipe 12. The upper end of the guide pipe 12 is communicated with the bottom end of the cylinder 11. The lower end of the guide pipe 12 is spaced apart from the bottom of the kettle body 22 by a certain distance, which is generally five millimeters. This distance can effectively prevent the water in the kettle body 22 from completely leaving the kettle body 22, resulting in dry burning, that is, preventing the lower end of the guide pipe 12 and the kettle body 22 from being burnt. The distance between the lower end of the guide pipe 12 and the bottom of the kettle body 22 can be formed by a spring 10. The lower end of the guide pipe 12 is provided with a recess, one end of the spring 10 is abutted on the recess, and the other end of the spring 10 is abutted on the bottom of the kettle body 22.

[0029] The kettle body 22 is further provided with a safety valve 14 on the side surface. The safety valve 14 is used for releasing the steam in the kettle body 22.

[0030] The bottom plate 8 and the top plate 9 are installed in the cylinder 11 to divide the cylinder 11 into three chambers. The chamber between the top plate 9 and the bottom plate 8 is called a discharging chamber 111. The chamber between the top plate 9 and the kettle cover 21 is called a buffer chamber 112. The top plate 9 is provided with a plurality of first small holes 91, and the bottom plate 8 is provided with a plurality of second small holes 81. The number of the first small holes 91 is less than the number of the second small holes 81. The distribution density of the first small holes 91 on the top plate 9 is also less than the distribution density of the second small holes 81. Therefore, the speed of the water passing through the first small holes 91 of the top plate 9 can be reduced, and a large amount of hot coffee liquid can be blocked from being upwardly erupted, thereby achieving a buffering effect. The discharging chamber 111 is generally used for placing coffee powder. The bottom plate 8 and the top plate 9 are both used for blocking the coffee powder, so that the water can flow out from the first small holes 91 or the second small holes 81. One end of the water outlet pipe 7 is communicated with the buffer chamber 112. After the buffer chamber 112 is slowly filled with hot coffee liquid, the hot coffee liquid also slowly and safely flows into the cup 4 through the water outlet pipe 7.

[0031] The installation mode of the top plate 9 can be that the edge of the top plate 9 extends outwardly to form a convex edge, the middle part of the top plate 9 is sunken, the convex edge is abutted on the sealing ring 13 or the port of the kettle body 22, and the bottle cap presses the convex edge on the sealing ring 13 or the port of the kettle body 22.

[0032] The tray 6 is installed on the cover 21, and the tray 6 is used to place the cup 4 used to contain the coffee liquid flowed out of the water outlet pipe 7.

[0033] The support 5 is connected to the tray 6, and the water outlet pipe 7 is internally installed on the support 5. One end of the water outlet pipe 7 is communicated with the buffer cavity 112 after passing through the support 5, the tray 6 and the cover 21, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 7 is bent towards the cup 4. The number of the water outlet pipe 7 can be two, and the other ends of the two water outlet pipes 7 are respectively bent in different directions. Each water outlet pipe 7 corresponds to one cup 4, so as to realize the guidance and distribution of the coffee liquid.

[0034] The use principle of the present application is as follows:

[0035] 1. Water is put into the kettle body 22, and the heating device heats the bottom of the kettle body 22, so that part of the water in the kettle body 22 is evaporated by heat. The water vapor rises and expands in the kettle body 22, and the water vapor squeezes the hot water not evaporated at the kettle bottom into the conduit 12. The hot water enters the cylinder 11 upwards from the lower end of the conduit 12.

[0036] 2. After the water enters the cylinder 11, it passes through the second small holes 81 on the bottom plate 8 and enters the discharging bin 111. The hot water and the coffee powder in the discharging bin 111 are mixed to form coffee liquid. With the continuous supplement of the hot water in the kettle body 22 into the cylinder 11, the coffee liquid gradually passes through the first small holes 91 on the top plate 9 and enters the buffer cavity 112. When the buffer cavity 112 is full of coffee liquid, the coffee liquid enters the lower end of the water outlet pipe 7.

[0037] 3. The coffee liquid flows out of the upper end of the water outlet pipe 7, and falls into the cup 4 placed on the tray 6, so as to realize the preparation of coffee.

[0038] In summary, the present application provides a moka kettle, which reduces the speed of the coffee liquid discharged from the water outlet pipe 7 by the difference in the number of the first small holes 91 of the top plate 9 and the second small holes 81 between the bottom plate 8.

[0039] The above detailed description is a specific description of the feasible embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments are not used to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any equivalent implementation or change without departing from the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
