Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a kettle technology, and more particularly to a kettle with a purification function and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Water is an essential resource in people's daily lives. People need to regularly ingest water to maintain their bodily needs, and because raw water contains a lot of microorganisms, it is generally necessary to boil it before drinking.
[0003] Since tap water is generally treated with chlorine at water treatment plants in rivers or lakes, it contains residual chlorine or other organic matter. To avoid the effects of these residual chlorine or organic matter on the human body, kettles on the market generally use a continuous boiling method. Boiling drinking water for more than 5 minutes can remove most carcinogenic organic harmful substances except for benzene. However, prolonged boiling promotes the production of carcinogenic haloacetic acids (haloacetic acids are a class of organic compounds formed by halogen atoms replacing hydrogen on the methyl group of acetic acid, which can be divided into monohaloacetic acids, dihaloacetic acids, and trihaloacetic acids), which is also detrimental to human health.
[0004] Furthermore, the lack of necessary treatment facilities means that the removed substances, after volatilization, may be inhaled by humans, thus affecting human health (for example, there are currently no devices that can reduce the impact of carcinogens in the steam produced by heating on lung cancer. Especially when using water spray devices, the use of water contaminated with organic carcinogens can directly lead to the inhalation of lung cancer-promoting substances).
[0005] In summary, current technologies cannot simultaneously remove residual chlorine and carcinogens, as well as treat volatile harmful substances.
[0006] Meanwhile, existing kettles for coffee brewing require manual control of the water inlet position, method, water temperature, and water volume, which is not convenient for beginners. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a kettle with a purification function and its usage method. By reacting with natural organic matter in the raw water, chlorine is removed, and carcinogenic substances (trihalomethanes) produced during the water purification process are also removed, making it more beneficial to human health.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a kettle with a purification function, comprising a heating kettle and a filter kettle connected to the heating kettle via a water inlet pipe. The heating kettle is provided with a main heater at the bottom of its exterior, a porous boiling stone at the bottom of its interior, and a steam outlet at the top of its heating kettle.
[0009] The main heater is connected to the output of the controller, and the input of the controller is connected to a timer and a temperature sensor for collecting the water temperature in the kettle. The controller controls the main heater to boil and then continue heating for a set time, and then controls the main heater to work intermittently so that the water temperature in the kettle is maintained within the set temperature range.
[0010] Preferably, the steam outlet is connected to the dechlorination mechanism;
[0011] The dechlorination mechanism includes a steam discharge pipe connected to the steam outlet at one end and a gas diffuser pipe connected to the other end of the steam discharge pipe. The gas diffuser pipe is placed inside and connected to the flowing cooling water pipe. The top end of the flowing cooling water pipe is connected to the bottom end of a filter chamber containing activated carbon. The top end of the filter chamber is provided with a purified gas outlet.
[0012] Preferably, the vent pipe has a plurality of vent holes evenly distributed on its circumferential side;
[0013] One end of the flowing cooling water pipe is a blind end, and the upper and lower ends of the other end are connected to the outlet pipe and the inlet pipe, respectively.

A large water inlet hole is opened in the center of the switching head, and multiple small water inlet holes are opened in a ring around the position of the large water inlet hole on the switching head.
[0015] One end of the large water inlet and one end of the small water inlet are both connected to the water inlet pipe via a switcher. The other ends of the large water inlet and the small water inlet are both aligned with the top of the filter pot. Coffee powder is placed on the top of the filter pot through filter paper.
[0016] The switcher is connected to the controller and is used to control the switcher to supply water through the small water supply hole during the coffee powder steaming stage and intermittently supply water through the large water supply hole during other stages.
[0017] Preferably, a rapid heater is provided on the outer wall of the water supply pipe. The rapid heater is connected to the controller to improve the heating efficiency of the water and enable the rapid supply of boiling water.
[0018] Preferably, a weighing device is provided at the bottom of the filter pot, and the weighing device is connected to the controller to determine the amount of water to be added based on the weight of the coffee powder collected by the weighing device.
[0019] A method for using a kettle with a purification function includes the following steps:
[0020] S1. Place filter paper on top of the filter pot and pour coffee powder into the filter paper, spreading it evenly; at the same time, pour drinking water into the kettle.
[0021] S2. Turn on the power. The controller will start the main heater to heat the drinking water in the kettle and continue heating for a set time after boiling. Then, the main heater will be started intermittently to keep the water in the kettle within the set temperature range.
[0022] S3. During the steaming stage, the controller controls the switching machine to connect the small water inlet hole with the water inlet pipe, and hot water is sprayed onto the surface of the coffee powder through the small water inlet hole. After the steaming stage is over, the controller controls the switching machine to close the small water inlet hole and open the large water inlet hole, and water is poured into the filter pot through the large water inlet hole until the weight of the coffee powder and the amount of water poured in reach the set ratio.
[0023] Preferably, the time set in step S2 is 10 minutes and the temperature set range is 80°C.
[0024] Preferably, the ratio set in step S3 is 1:12.
[0025] Preferably, in steps S2 and S3, the chlorine-containing water vapor generated by the heating kettle is discharged sequentially through the steam outlet, steam discharge pipe and heat dissipation pipe into the flowing cooling water pipe for cooling. The cooled chlorine gas is adsorbed by activated carbon, and the water vapor is discharged through the purified gas outlet.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] 1. Because boiling or keeping water at around 100℃ for more than 10 minutes can cause a reaction inside the kettle, generating new carcinogenic haloacetic acids, this invention addresses this problem by automatically cooling the water to 80℃. This effectively reduces carcinogenic substances in the water and discharges waste gas indoors. It also removes volatile harmful substances. Simultaneously, it removes residual chlorine and carcinogenic substances (THM (trihalomethanes)), inhibits the formation of haloacetic acids, and is therefore more beneficial to human health.
[0028] 2. It can automatically adjust the water volume according to the weight of coffee powder, and automatically control the water injection method and water temperature, reducing the difficulty of operation;
[0029] 3. By installing a chlorine removal system, the harm to human health caused by chlorine gas being released into the room can be avoided.
