Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a damping mechanism and a kettle having the same. Background Art

[0002] At present, some kettles on the market can add water automatically, while others can be manually opened for manual water addition. When manually adding water to the kettle, the user needs to hold the kettle with one hand and open the lid with one hand, and then use the other hand to pour water or turn on the faucet to get water. At this time, in order to keep the lid of the kettle in the open state, a damping structure needs to be set at the connection between the lid and the kettle body to prevent the lid from falling when the user is filling the water. The current damping structure generally uses a torsion spring to open the lid and keep it in the open state. However, the damping structure composed of the torsion spring has a poor hand feel and improper operation can easily cause the residual high-temperature water on the lid to fall onto the user's hand, causing injury. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present application provides a damping mechanism and a kettle having the same, so as to solve the technical problem of poor opening and closing operation experience of the kettle lid in the prior art.

[0004] In the first aspect, the present application provides a damping mechanism for connecting a kettle body and a kettle lid, the damping mechanism comprising: a first friction component, the first friction component is arranged on the kettle lid; a second friction component, the second friction component is arranged on the kettle body, the kettle lid is connected to the second friction component of the kettle body through the first friction component; an elastic compression component, the elastic compression component is connected to the first friction component or the second friction component, and is used to push the first friction component and the second friction component to be close to each other, so that a friction damping structure is formed between the first friction component and the second friction component.

[0005] Beneficial effects: The damping mechanism proposed in the present application utilizes the principle of friction damping, so that when the user opens the kettle lid with one hand, the force of the thumb when prying the kettle lid is appropriate and uniform, and the opening speed is uniform and controllable, thereby meeting the user's requirements for damping accuracy and operating feel, improving the user's usage experience, and being able to keep the kettle lid in an open state. The damping mechanism has the advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing cost and high reliability.

[0006] Specifically, since the pushing force applied by the elastic compression member to the first friction component or the second friction component is independent of the rotation stroke of the kettle lid, the elastic compression member can apply a balanced thrust during the rotation of the kettle lid, thereby generating a balanced friction damping force between the first friction component and the second friction component, so that the user can achieve appropriate and uniform force when prying the kettle lid with his thumb when opening the kettle lid with one hand, and the opening speed is uniform and controllable.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the kettle lid is provided with a rotating part, the kettle body is provided with a matching part matching with the rotating part, the first friction component is provided on the rotating part, and the second friction component is provided on the matching part and frictionally matched with the first friction component.

[0008] Beneficial effects: The embodiments of the present application include both the rotating part being arranged outside the matching part and the rotating part being arranged inside the matching part. In the case where the rotating part is arranged outside the matching part, the rotating part is configured as two hanging ears distributed on opposite sides of the matching part; in the case where the rotating part is arranged inside the matching part, the matching part is configured as two hanging ears distributed on opposite sides of the rotating part. Both embodiments fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the first friction component is configured as a rotating shaft, the matching portion is configured as a sleeve for accommodating the rotating shaft, and the second friction component includes a friction plate disposed inside the sleeve and frictionally matched with the rotating shaft.

[0010] Beneficial effect: Since the circumferential structure of the rotating shaft is consistent and the circumferential structure of the friction plate is consistent, the rotational friction force between the rotating shaft and the friction plate is consistent during the rotation and friction of the rotating shaft relative to the friction plate, thereby achieving uniform damping force when the lid is opened, and the opening speed is uniform and controllable, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the rotating shaft includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft distributed at two ends of the sleeve, and the second friction assembly includes two friction plates, and the two friction plates are frictionally matched with the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft respectively.

[0012] Beneficial effect: The embodiment of the present application proposes generating friction damping force through the friction cooperation of two sets of rotating shafts and friction plates. Since the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are respectively distributed at the two ends of the shaft sleeve, two friction damping forces are generated at the two ends of the shaft sleeve, which not only reduces the pressure of the friction damping force at one place, but also can achieve the purpose of evenly distributing the friction damping force, thereby reducing the local wear between the pot lid and the pot body or the phenomenon of insufficient local damping force.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the first rotating shaft is provided with a friction ring that cooperates with the sleeve, two friction plates and the second rotating shaft are axially sleeved outside the first rotating shaft, one friction plate is frictionally matched with the friction ring, and the other friction plate is matched with the axial end of the second rotating shaft.

[0014] Beneficial effect: By axially sleeved the two friction plates and the second rotating shaft outside the first rotating shaft along the first rotating shaft, the fit and structural compactness of the various components in the damping mechanism are improved, the space occupied by the damping mechanism is reduced, and the phenomenon of improper assembly of the various components in the damping mechanism is reduced.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the two friction plates are spaced apart along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft, the elastic compression member is sleeved outside the first rotating shaft and located between the two friction plates, and pushes the two friction plates toward the friction ring and the axial end of the second rotating shaft respectively.

[0016] Beneficial effects: the two friction plates rotate relative to the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft respectively, and pressure is generated to the two friction plates by compressing the elastic compression member. The spring compression pressure is transmitted to the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft through the two friction plates. When the user opens the kettle lid, the two friction plates rotate relative to the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft respectively and generate friction force, thereby generating friction damping force, so as to achieve balanced friction damping force between the kettle lid and the kettle body during the opening and closing process.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, there is an accommodating space between the first rotating shaft and the sleeve, the elastic compression member and the two friction plates are arranged in the accommodating space, and the inner wall of the sleeve is provided with a circumferential limiting groove that cooperates with the friction plate.

[0018] Beneficial effect: the friction plate is provided with a third limiting rib which cooperates with the circumferential limiting groove. Through the circumferential limiting cooperation between the friction plate and the shaft sleeve, the friction plate and the shaft sleeve can be circumferentially stationary, so that the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft can rotate relative to the friction plate and generate friction damping force, so that the pot lid can open and close at a constant force and uniform speed under the action of the friction damping force.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are both provided with connecting holes distributed along the axial direction, and the damping mechanism also includes a fastening rod passing through the two connecting holes and connecting the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, and the fastening rod adjusts the elastic compression amount of the elastic compression member.

The larger the penetration size of the fastener to the other side of the pot cover is, the smaller the distance between the two friction plates is, the greater the elastic compression amount of the elastic compression member is, the greater the pressure applied by the elastic compression member to the two friction plates is, and the greater the friction resistance between the friction plates and the rotating shaft is, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the damping force of opening the pot cover.

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the rotating portion includes two hanging ears distributed on both sides of the sleeve, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are respectively limited circumferentially at the two hanging ears.

[0022] Beneficial effect: Through the cooperation of two hanging ears, two rotating shafts and two friction plates, the purpose of evenly distributing the friction damping force on both sides of the rotating part can be achieved, so that the two sides of the pot cover can rotate synchronously and generate friction damping force synchronously, reducing the local wear of the pot cover during rotation or the phenomenon of asynchronous rotation of the two sides.

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "upper", "outer", "lower", "bottom" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0045] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be fixed connection, detachable connection, or integrated connection; it can be mechanical connection or electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can also be the connection between two components, it can be wireless connection or wired connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0046] In order to keep the lid open, a torsion spring is generally provided at the connection between the lid and the kettle body to open and keep the lid open. However, the torsion curve of the torsion spring and the deadweight motion curve of the lid cannot be balanced and coincident. This results in poor operating feel when the user opens and closes the lid, and improper operation may cause residual high-temperature water on the lid to splash onto the user's hands, causing injury.

[0047] In order to solve the technical problems of poor operating feel of the kettle lid and improper operation that easily causes residual high-temperature water on the kettle lid to splash onto the user's hands, some kettle lids use hydraulic dampers as the dampers of the kettle lids. However, the hydraulic damper has a starting virtual angle that causes poor operating feel and oil leakage after long-term use, resulting in the ineffectiveness of the damping effect. In addition, the hydraulic damper also has technical problems of complex structure and high cost.

[0048] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing kettle lid has a poor operating experience during use, the embodiment of the present application proposes a friction damping mechanism for connecting the kettle lid and the kettle body, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing kettle lid has a poor operating feel. Figures 1 to 8 , describing an embodiment of the present application.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, the present application provides a damping mechanism 30 for connecting the kettle body 10 and the kettle cover 20, the damping mechanism 30 includes a first friction component 31, a second friction component 32 and an elastic compression member 33, the first friction component 31 is arranged on the kettle cover 20; the second friction component 32 is arranged on the kettle body 10, and the kettle cover 20 is connected to the second friction component 32 of the kettle body 10 through the first friction component 31; the elastic compression member 33 is connected to the first friction component 31 or the second friction component 32, and is used to push the first friction component 31 and the second friction component 32 to be close to each other, so that a friction damping structure is formed between the first friction component 31 and the second friction component 32.

[0050] In this embodiment, the damping mechanism 30 proposed in the embodiment of the present application utilizes the principle of friction damping, so that when the user opens the kettle lid 20 with one hand, the force of the thumb when prying the kettle lid 20 is appropriate and uniform, and the opening speed is uniform and controllable, thereby meeting the user's requirements for damping accuracy and operating feel, improving the user's usage experience, and being able to keep the kettle lid 20 in an open state, and the damping mechanism 30 has the advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing cost and high reliability.

[0051] Specifically, since the pushing force applied by the elastic compression member 33 to the first friction component 31 or the second friction component 32 is independent of the rotation stroke of the pot lid 20, the elastic compression member 33 can apply a balanced thrust during the rotation of the pot lid 20, thereby generating a balanced friction damping force between the first friction component 31 and the second friction component 32, so that the user can use a uniform force when opening the pot lid 20 with his thumb, and the opening speed can be controlled uniformly.

[0052] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific position and specific structure of the first friction component 31, the second friction component 32 and the elastic compression component 33, because the main improvement of the present application is that the elastic compression component 33 realizes the generation of friction damping force between the pot lid 20 and the pot body 10, thereby improving the lid opening damping force and the lid opening speed of the pot lid 20, and improving the user's operating experience of opening the pot lid 20. As for the specific position and structure of the first friction component 31, the second friction component 32 and the elastic compression component 33, they can be adaptively set according to the specific structure of the kettle 100 and the actual use environment. For example, the first friction component 31 and the second friction component 32 include a friction tube and a friction disk, and the elastic compression component 33 includes a spring and a rubber sleeve. The elastic compression component 33 can act on both the first friction component 31 and the second friction component 32, and can also act on the first friction component 31 and the second friction component 32. These adjustments all fall within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present application.

[0053] Below through Figure 1 and Figure 2 The preferred embodiment of the specific position and specific structure of the first friction component 31, the second friction component 32 and the elastic compression member 33 is described.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the kettle cover 20 is provided with a rotating part 21, the kettle body 10 is provided with a matching part that matches with the rotating part 21, the first friction component 31 is provided on the rotating part 21, and the second friction component 32 is provided on the matching part and frictionally matches with the first friction component 31.

[0055] In the above embodiments, the embodiments of the present application include both the rotating portion 21 being distributed outside the matching portion and the rotating portion 21 being distributed inside the matching portion. In the case where the rotating portion 21 is distributed outside the matching portion, the rotating portion 21 is configured as two hanging ears distributed on opposite sides of the matching portion; in the case where the rotating portion 21 is distributed inside the matching portion, the matching portion is configured as two hanging ears distributed on opposite sides of the rotating portion 21. Both embodiments belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first friction component 31 is configured as a rotating shaft, the matching portion is configured as a sleeve 12 for accommodating the rotating shaft, and the second friction component 32 includes a friction plate 321 disposed inside the sleeve 12 and frictionally matched with the rotating shaft.

[0057] In this embodiment, since the circumferential structure of the rotating shaft is consistent and the circumferential structure of the friction plate 321 is consistent, during the process of the rotating shaft rotating and rubbing relative to the friction plate 321, the rotational friction force between the rotating shaft and the friction plate 321 is consistent, so that the damping force of the pot lid 20 when opening the lid can be uniform, and the opening speed is uniform and controllable, thereby improving the user's operating experience.

[0058] Specifically, in order to facilitate the user to operate the pot lid 20, the shaft sleeve 12 is provided on the handle 11 of the pot body 10, so that the user can hold the pot body 10 with one hand and open and close the pot lid 20 at the same time, thereby improving the user's operating convenience.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotating shaft includes a first rotating shaft 311 and a second rotating shaft 312 distributed at both ends of the sleeve 12, and the second friction assembly 32 includes two friction plates 321, and the two friction plates 321 are frictionally matched with the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 respectively.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present application proposes to generate friction damping force through the friction cooperation of two groups of rotating shafts and friction plates 321. Since the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 are respectively distributed at the two ends of the sleeve 12, two friction damping forces are generated at the two ends of the sleeve 12, which not only reduces the pressure of the friction damping force at one place, but also can achieve the purpose of evenly distributing the friction damping force, thereby reducing the local wear or insufficient local damping force between the pot cover 20 and the pot body 10.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first rotating shaft 311 is provided with a friction ring 3111 that cooperates with the sleeve 12, and two friction plates 321 and the second rotating shaft 312 are axially sleeved to the outside of the first rotating shaft 311 along the first rotating shaft 311, one friction plate 321 is frictionally matched with the friction ring 3111, and the other friction plate 321 is matched with the shaft end 3121 of the second rotating shaft 312.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the two friction plates 321 and the second rotating shaft 312 are axially sleeved outside the first rotating shaft 311 along the first rotating shaft 311, so as to improve the fit and structural compactness of the various components in the damping mechanism 30, reduce the space occupied by the damping mechanism 30, and reduce the phenomenon of improper assembly of the various components in the damping mechanism 30.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the two friction plates 321 are distributed axially at intervals along the first rotating shaft 311, the elastic compression member 33 is sleeved outside the first rotating shaft 311 and is located between the two friction plates 321, and pushes the two friction plates 321 toward the friction ring 3111 and the shaft end 3121 of the second rotating shaft 312 respectively.

[0064] In this embodiment, the friction plate 321 includes a plastic damping wear-resistant gasket, which is set to a rough surface or a sun-textured rough surface, and the depth of the rough surface ranges from 0.01mm to 0.2mm. The two friction plates 321 rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 respectively, and the pressure is generated to the two friction plates 321 by compressing the elastic compression member 33. The spring compression pressure is transmitted to the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 through the two friction plates 321. When the user opens the pot cover 20, the two friction plates 321 rotate relative to the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 respectively to generate friction force, thereby generating friction damping force, so that the pot cover 20 can generate a balanced friction damping force with the pot body 10 during the opening and closing process.

[0065] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, there is an accommodation space between the first rotating shaft 311 and the sleeve 12, the elastic compression member 33 and the two friction plates 321 are both arranged in the accommodation space, and the inner wall of the sleeve 12 is provided with a circumferential limiting groove 121 that cooperates with the friction plate 321.

[0066] In this embodiment, the friction plate 321 is provided with a third limiting rib 3211 which cooperates with the circumferential limiting groove 121. Through the circumferential limiting cooperation between the friction plate 321 and the shaft sleeve 12, the friction plate 321 and the shaft sleeve 12 can be circumferentially stationary, so that the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 can rotate frictionally relative to the friction plate 321 and generate a friction damping force, so that the pot cover 20 can open and close at a constant force and uniform speed under the action of the friction damping force.

[0067] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 are both provided with connecting holes distributed along the axial direction, and the damping mechanism 30 also includes a fastening rod passing through the two connecting holes and connecting the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312, and the fastening rod adjusts the elastic compression amount of the elastic compression member 33.

[0068] In the present embodiment, the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 are respectively provided with a first connecting hole 3113 and a second connecting hole 3123. In the process of installing the damping mechanism 30, the two friction plates 321 and the elastic compression member 33 are first installed inside the shaft sleeve 12, and then the rotating part 21 of the pot cover 20 is assembled on the shaft sleeve 12. The first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the pot cover 20. The fastener is penetrated from one side of the pot cover 20 to the other side of the pot cover 20, and the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 are fastened by the fastener. The larger the penetration size of the fastener to the other side of the pot cover 20, the smaller the distance between the two friction plates 321, the greater the elastic compression amount of the elastic compression member 33, the greater the pressure applied by the elastic compression member 33 to the two friction plates 321, and the greater the friction resistance between the friction plates 321 and the rotating shaft, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the damping force of opening the pot cover 20.

[0069] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the rotating portion 21 includes two hanging ears distributed on both sides of the sleeve 12, and the first rotating shaft 311 and the second rotating shaft 312 are circumferentially limited to the two hanging ears.

[0070] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of two hanging ears, two rotating shafts and two friction plates 321, the purpose of evenly distributing the friction damping force on both sides of the rotating part 21 can be achieved, so that the two sides of the pot cover 20 can rotate synchronously and generate friction damping force synchronously, thereby reducing the occurrence of local wear of the pot cover 20 during rotation or the phenomenon of asynchronous rotation of the two sides.

[0071] Specifically, the first rotating shaft 311 is provided with a first limiting rib, the second rotating shaft 312 is provided with a second limiting rib, and both the two hanging ears are provided with a circumferential groove, so as to achieve circumferential limiting of the rotating shaft and the hanging ears.

[0072] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the kettle 100 includes a kettle cover 20, a kettle body 10 (a handle 11 is provided on the kettle body 10), a damping gasket (friction plate 321), a compression spring (elastic compression member 33), a first end cover (first rotating shaft 311), a second end cover (second rotating shaft 312), a screw (fastening rod), a screw cover, etc., and a damping mechanism 30 is installed on the kettle cover 20 and the handle 11, and the damping movement between the kettle cover 20 and the handle 11 is realized by the damping mechanism 30.

[0073] The damping gasket and the compression spring are installed on the handle 11 (the handle 11 is provided with installation positions for the gasket and the spring), the pot cover 20 is assembled on the handle 11, the first end cover and the second end cover are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the pot cover 20, the screws are tightened from right to left, and the screw cover is installed on the second end cover.

[0074] The damping mechanism 30 includes: two plastic damping wear-resistant gaskets that rotate relative to the first end cover and the second end cover respectively, and generate pressure to the gaskets through the compression spring, and the spring compression pressure is transmitted to the first end cover and the second end cover through the gaskets, and the screws lock the first end cover and the second end cover to offset the transmission of the spring compression pressure; when the user opens the pot cover 20, the gaskets and the first end cover and the second end cover rotate relative to each other to generate friction, thereby generating resistance. The plastic damping wear-resistant gasket is set to a rough surface or a sun-grained rough surface, and the depth range of the rough surface is 0.01mm-0.2mm.

[0075] First, install the first gasket into the sleeve 12 at the handle 11, then put the compression spring into the sleeve 12, and then put the second gasket into the sleeve 12. At this time, there are two gaskets in the sleeve 12, and there is a compression spring between the two gaskets. The handle 11, the sleeve 12 and the gasket remain in a relatively static state; after the pot cover 20 is installed on the handle 11, the first end cover is installed to the left side of the rotating part 21 of the pot cover 20, and the second end cover is installed to the right side of the rotating part 21 of the pot cover 20. The screws are installed and fastened from right to left. The first end cover, the second end cover and the pot cover 20 can only move synchronously. When the user opens the pot lid 20, the pot lid 20 drives the first end cover and the second end cover to rotate synchronously, while the handle 11, the shaft sleeve 12 and the two gaskets are stationary, so that the two gaskets respectively generate relative rotational motion with the first end cover and the second end cover. Since the gasket and the first end cover have damping friction under the pressure of the compression spring, the opening force and feel of the pot lid 20 are uniform and the opening speed is controllable, so that the pot lid 20 can be maintained in the opened state after opening.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in the second aspect, the present application provides a kettle 100, which comprises: a kettle body 10, a kettle mouth of the kettle body 10 is provided with a kettle cover 20 rotatably connected to the kettle body 10; a damping mechanism 30 according to the first aspect of the present application, the damping mechanism 30 is arranged at the rotational connection between the kettle cover 20 and the kettle body 10, and connects the kettle body 10 and the kettle cover 20.

[0077] In this embodiment, the kettle 100 proposed in the embodiment of the present application has all the technical effects of the damping mechanism 30 of the first aspect of the present application, which will not be described in detail here.

[0078] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application only describes the structures related to the improvement points in the kettle 100 and the damping mechanism 30, and does not mean that the embodiment of the present application does not include other structures. For example, the kettle of the embodiment of the present application also includes an electronic control device and a temperature detection element arranged in the kettle 100.
