[0031] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "longitudinal," "lateral," "inner," "outer," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," and "bottom," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based solely on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device / component referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0032] A type of thermos lid, such as Figures 4-12 As shown, the kettle includes a lid body 13, which comprises a lower lid body 21 and an upper lid body 14. The upper lid body 14 is installed on the upper side of the lower lid body 21 and can be easily removed from the lower lid body 21 for cleaning. A valve body wall 2102 is formed on the upper part of the lower lid body 21. The valve body wall 2102 is provided with a fluid channel 22, a water injection valve 24, and an air inlet valve 32. The air inlet valve 32 is located at the top of the valve body wall, and the water injection valve 24 is rotatably connected to the air inlet valve 32. The water injection valve 24 seals the liquid outlet of the fluid channel 22 and can move up and down at the liquid outlet to open or close the liquid outlet, while simultaneously opening or closing the air inlet valve 32. When the kettle lid is in the closed state, the water injection valve 24 contacts the liquid outlet and closes the liquid outlet, while simultaneously closing the air inlet valve 32. When the kettle lid is in the open state, the water injection valve 24 disengages from the liquid outlet and opens the liquid outlet, while simultaneously opening the air inlet valve 32.

[0033] Because the lower lid gradually tapers from top to bottom, the water inlet valve 24 is located on the upper part of the lower lid. Compared to the lower lid with its opening at the bottom, the diameter of the cylinder 24 is much smaller. Therefore, sealing this area requires less upward force, resulting in a less driving force on the water inlet valve 24, making sealing easier, more secure, and easier, thus improving heat retention. An air inlet valve 32 allows air to circulate within the kettle, making pouring or collecting liquids smoother. Located on the upper part of the lower lid and at the top of the valve body wall, its high position prevents liquid from easily seeping into the lid when used to collect liquids. Furthermore, the air inlet valve 32 and the water inlet valve 24 are interactive; when the water inlet valve 24 operates, the air inlet valve 32 operates accordingly, and when the water inlet valve 24 stops, the air inlet valve 32 also stops synchronously, ensuring synchronicity and reliability of operation.

[0053] Work process:

[0054] How to open a thermos:

[0055] 1) When the thermos is placed in the coffee machine, the coffee machine presses down the operation button 17. The operation button 17 and the connecting part 18 move downward together. At this time, the arc surface 1801 of the connecting part 18 abuts against the top of the blocking part 2701 of the water injection valve rod 27 and overcomes the force of the water injection reset spring 29 to push the water injection valve rod 27 to continue to slide downward. The sliding shaft 2707 of the water injection valve rod 27 slides downward on the sliding bottom wall 2507 of the valve bracket 25, causing the water injection valve 24 to rotate clockwise around the rotating shaft hole 3303 of the air inlet valve body 33. At this time, the water injection valve pad 26 on the front side of the water injection valve 24 is separated from the liquid outlet 11 of the lower cover 21, so that the fluid channel 22 and the pot body 2 remain open, and coffee can flow in or out from the pouring port 9.

[0056] 2) When the operating handle 16 of the thermos is pressed down, the operating handle 16 rotates counterclockwise around the handle pivot hole 1502 of the upper cover 15. The conductive surface 1603 of the operating handle 16 abuts against the columnar protrusion 1804 of the connector 18, and the arc surface 1801 of the connector 18 abuts against the top of the blocking part 2701 of the water injection valve rod 27. It overcomes the force of the water injection reset spring 29 and pushes the water injection valve rod 27 to continue sliding downward. The sliding shaft 2707 of the water injection valve rod 27 slides downward on the sliding bottom wall 2507 of the valve bracket 25, causing the water injection valve 24 to rotate clockwise around the pivot hole 3303 of the air inlet valve body 33. At this time, the water injection valve pad 26 on the front side of the water injection valve 24 is separated from the liquid outlet 11 of the lower cover 21, so that the fluid channel 22 and the kettle body 2 remain open, and coffee can flow in or out from the pouring spout 9.

[0057] 3) Simultaneously with the above actions, the rear protrusion 2506 of the valve bracket 25 rotates clockwise to a certain angle, contacts the lower bottom 3401 of the valve stem of the intake valve stem 34, slides on the lower bottom 3401 of the valve stem, pushes the intake valve stem 34 and moves upward against the force of the intake valve return spring 35, the intake valve sealing gasket 36 on the intake valve stem 34 separates from the upper side wall of the sealing part 3306 of the intake valve body 33, opens the intake port 3307 of the intake valve body 33, and air enters the kettle body 2.

[0058] The process of closing the thermos:

[0059] 1) When the thermos is removed from the coffee machine, the downward pressure of the operation button 17 disappears, or the force applied to the operation handle 16 disappears. The water filling return spring 29 pushes the valve stem cap 28 upward. The valve stem cap 28 drives the water valve stem 27 to slide upward, and the operation button 17 and the operation handle 16 return to their original positions due to the upward movement. At the same time, the sliding shaft 2707 of the water filling valve stem 27 slides upward on the sliding upper wall 2508 of the valve bracket 25, causing the water filling valve 24 to rotate counterclockwise around the pivot hole 3303 of the air inlet valve body 33. At this time, the water filling valve pad 26 on the front side of the water filling valve 24 contacts the liquid outlet 11 of the lower cover 21 and seals the liquid outlet 11, so that the fluid channel 22 and the pot body 2 are kept sealed, and the coffee is kept warm in the sealed pot body.

[0060] 2) Simultaneously with the above actions, the rear protrusion 2506 of the valve bracket 25 rotates counterclockwise to a certain angle and disengages from the bottom 3401 of the valve stem of the intake valve stem 34. The intake valve return spring 35 inside the intake valve body 33 pushes the intake valve stem 34 downward. The intake valve sealing gasket 36 on the intake valve stem 34 re-contacts with the upper side wall of the sealing part 3306 of the intake valve body 33 and seals the intake hole 3307 of the intake valve body 33, blocking the pot body 2 from contacting the atmosphere and preventing the coffee heat inside the pot from being lost.

[0061] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, there are other embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications based on the present invention, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the scope defined by the appended claims, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of the present invention.
