[0001] The utility model relates to a household electrical appliance, in particular to an electric kettle. Background Art

[0002] Liquid heaters are commonly used small household appliances for daily household needs and have a wide market. With the improvement of people's living standards, people's demand for liquid heaters is also increasing, and consumers are more willing to choose products with better user experience. However, after long-term use of liquid heaters, scale is easily accumulated in the bottom of the pot. There are two main types of liquid heaters in the prior art. One of them is that one end of the pot lid is connected to the pot body in a hinged manner, and the pot lid is triggered by a button located on the pot lid or on the handle to pop up. The user can open the lid with one hand to collect water. However, when the pot lid of this type of liquid heater is opened, the pot lid will block the pot body, thereby hindering the user from cleaning the scale in the pot body, which is not conducive to cleaning the pot body.

[0003] Another is that the lid and the body can be completely separated. For example, CN209712550U discloses a liquid heating device, including a body and a lid. A detachable inner tank assembly is provided in the body. In order to facilitate the removal and installation of the inner tank assembly, the lid and the body are also detachably connected. Therefore, when cleaning, the inner tank assembly can be removed from the body after the lid is removed. The user can directly clean the inner tank assembly, making the cleaning of the inner tank assembly more convenient. However, the lid needs to be removed during use of the above liquid heater, so the user needs to use two hands to operate, which is inconvenient to use.

[0004] For another example, CN206979347U discloses an electric kettle and a kettle lid, wherein the electric kettle comprises a kettle lid and a kettle body, the kettle lid comprises a lid body and a lid-opening connection part, one end of the lid-opening connection part is detachably connected to one side of the lid body, the other end of the lid-opening connection part is hinged to the kettle body through a rotating shaft, a first fixing part is provided on the lid body, the lid-opening connection part is provided with a second fixing part matched with the first fixing part, the first fixing part and the second fixing part are fixed by a first locking member, the first locking member comprises a first screw hole arranged on the first fixing part, a second screw hole arranged on the second fixing part and a first screw, during use of the electric kettle, the kettle lid can be opened to collect water by pressing a button to rotate the kettle lid as a whole around the axis hole, so that the user can operate it with one hand, and when it is necessary to clean the scale in the kettle body, the first fixing part and the second fixing part can be separated by removing the first screw, so that the kettle lid can be removed for cleaning the kettle body.

[0005] However, when installing and removing the kettle cover, a tool is needed to screw the first screw, which increases the difficulty of installing and removing the kettle cover and easily affects the cleaning efficiency of the kettle body. Utility Model Content

[0008] After adopting the above technical solution, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0009] The kettle body described in the utility model is hinged with a first connecting piece, and the kettle lid is provided with a second connecting piece. The first connecting piece has a slot and a check surface, and the second connecting piece abuts against the check surface to achieve the connection between the kettle lid and the kettle body. The kettle lid can be opened by rotating the first connecting piece to realize the opening of the lid to receive water, so that the user can perform one-handed operation, which is beneficial to improving the user experience; and when the kettle lid and / or the kettle body need to be cleaned, the second connecting piece is driven to disengage from the check surface by the unfastening piece to achieve the separation of the kettle lid and the kettle body, and the kettle lid can be cleaned separately. When cleaning the kettle body, the kettle lid can be prevented from blocking the kettle body, making the cleaning of the kettle body simpler and more convenient, and can also reduce the residual amount of scale in the kettle body, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness of the kettle body.

[0010] In addition, when installing the kettle lid, it is only necessary to insert the second connecting piece into the slot and make the outer end of the second connecting piece abut against the non-return surface to achieve the connection between the second connecting piece and the first connecting piece, making the connection between the kettle lid and the kettle body more convenient and labor-saving. At the same time, the outer end of the second connecting piece cooperates with the non-return surface, which can effectively reduce the possibility of the second connecting piece being arbitrarily separated from the first connecting piece, and improve the connection stability between the kettle lid and the kettle body; and when the kettle lid needs to be removed, it is only necessary to drive the outer end of the second connecting piece to be separated from the non-return surface through the unfastening piece, thereby separating the second connecting piece from the first connecting piece, and the separation of the kettle lid and the kettle body can be achieved. The installation and disassembly of the kettle lid are relatively simple and convenient, without the use of additional tools, which is conducive to improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the kettle lid, and can also speed up the cleaning speed of the kettle body.

The following specific embodiments can be combined or replaced with each other according to actual conditions, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides an electric water kettle, comprising a kettle body 1, a kettle cover 2 and a base 3, the kettle cover 2 comprising an outer cover 21 and an inner cover 22 spliced ​​with each other, the kettle body 1 is hinged with a first connecting piece 13, the first connecting piece 13 has a slot 131 and a check surface 133, the kettle cover 2 is provided with a second connecting piece 23, the outer end of the second connecting piece 23 extends out of the kettle cover 2 and can move relative to the kettle cover 2, the outer end of the second connecting piece 23 is inserted into the slot 131 and abuts against the check surface 133, the second connecting piece 23 is provided with a release piece 24 for exposing the kettle cover 2, the release piece 24 drives the outer end of the second connecting piece 23 to disengage from the check surface 133 and separate the second connecting piece 23 from the first connecting piece 13, thereby removing the kettle cover 2 from the kettle body 1, and the kettle cover 2 and the kettle body 1 are detachably connected through the cooperation of the first connecting piece 13 and the second connecting piece 23.

[0038] When the electric water kettle is in use, the lid 2 can be opened by rotating the first connecting piece 13 to open the lid to collect water, so that the user can perform one-handed operation, which is beneficial to improving the user experience; and when the lid 2 and / or the kettle body 1 need to be cleaned, the second connecting piece 23 is driven to disengage from the check surface 133 by the unfastening piece 24, so that the lid 2 is separated from the kettle body 1, and the lid 2 can be cleaned separately. When cleaning the kettle body 1, the lid 2 can be prevented from blocking the kettle body 1, making the cleaning of the kettle body 1 simpler and more convenient, and can also reduce the residual amount of scale in the kettle body 1, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness of the kettle body 1.

[0039] In addition, when installing the pot cover 2, it is only necessary to insert the second connecting member 23 into the slot 131 and make the outer end of the second connecting member 23 abut against the check surface 133, so as to realize the connection between the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13, making the connection between the pot cover 2 and the pot body 1 more convenient and labor-saving. At the same time, the outer end of the second connecting member 23 cooperates with the check surface 133, which can effectively reduce the possibility of the second connecting member 23 being arbitrarily separated from the first connecting member 13, thereby improving the connection stability between the pot cover 2 and the pot body 1; and when the pot cover 2 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to drive the outer end of the second connecting member 23 to be separated from the check surface 133 through the unlocking member 24, so as to separate the second connecting member 23 from the first connecting member 13, thereby realizing the separation of the pot cover 2 from the pot body 1. The installation and removal of the pot cover 2 are relatively simple and convenient, without the use of additional tools, which is conducive to improving the installation and removal efficiency of the pot cover 2, and also can speed up the cleaning speed of the pot body 1.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the kettle body 1 in this embodiment includes an inner tank for holding liquid, a heater installed on the outer side of the bottom of the inner tank, and an upper connector at the bottom of the kettle body 1, the upper connector is electrically connected to the heater, and the heater is electrically connected to a control switch 11, the base 3 is provided with a lower connector matching the upper connector and a power plug 31 electrically connected to the lower connector, the upper connector and the lower connector are plugged in and electrically coupled to make the heater and the power plug 31 electrically conductive.

[0041] The kettle body 1 described in this embodiment includes a handle 12, a first connecting member 13 is hinged to the inside of the top end of the handle 12 through a rotating shaft 14, and the handle 12 is provided with a button 15 for controlling the opening of the kettle lid 2, and the button 15 is hinged to the handle 12 and is provided with a compression spring, the compression spring acts on the button 15 and makes the button 15 keep partly exposed from the movement trend of the handle 12, and a convex point for positioning the first connecting member 13 is provided on the side of the button 15 close to the first connecting member 13, and the first connecting member 13 is provided with a boss 134, when the kettle lid 2 and the kettle body 1 are closed, the convex point abuts against the bottom of the boss 134 and thus overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member to keep the kettle lid 2 closed, and when the kettle lid 2 needs to be opened, the convex point is disengaged from the boss 134 by pressing the button 15, and the first connecting member 13 rotates under the action of the elastic member to rotate and open the kettle lid 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, after the first connecting member 13 is arranged on the handle 12, the thickness of the kettle body 1 can be effectively reduced, making the manufacture of the kettle body 1 simpler, and at the same time, the kettle body 1 can have a larger opening after the lid is opened, further reducing the obstruction of the kettle body 1 by the lid 2; in addition, in order to facilitate the user to press the button 15, the button 15 in this embodiment is arranged at the bending part of the top of the handle 12, and the end of the button 15 close to the kettle body 1 is provided with a hinge axis hinged to the handle 12, and a compression spring acts on the other end of the button 15, so that the pressing point of the button 15 is closer to the position of the user's thumb, so that the user can perform one-handed operation, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0043] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, at least two second connecting members 23 are arranged side by side, the second connecting members 23 extend along the direction of insertion into the slot 131 and are partially located in the pot cover 2, the second connecting member 23 is located at the pot cover 2 at the upper limit of the extension direction, and the outer end of the second connecting member 23 is provided with a buckle 231, the buckle 231 protrudes outwardly with the back of the gap between the second connecting members 23, and the second connecting members 23 keep a tendency to move away from each other so that the buckle 231 keeps abutting against the check surface 133, and by providing two second connecting members 23, the force of the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13 can be stabilized. It is more balanced and reduces the possibility of the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13 being skewed, and at the same time, it can also improve the connection stability of the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13; in addition, the second connecting member 23 partially extends into the pot cover 2, which can increase the length of the second connecting member 23, and can effectively improve the strength of the second connecting member 23, thereby being able to support the rotation of the pot cover 2, and at the same time, it can also increase the deformation of the second connecting member 23, so that the buckle 231 can be smoothly inserted into the slot 131 and detached from the check surface 133, thereby reducing the possibility of the second connecting member 23 breaking.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the upper cover is provided with a slide groove 211 for the sliding of the release member 24, and the length direction of the slide groove 211 is kept parallel to the direction in which the second connecting member 23 is pulled out of the slot 131. The release member 24 is slidably connected to the upper cover, and the release member 24 moves in the direction in which the second connecting member 23 is pulled out of the slot 131 to drive the outer ends of the second connecting member 23 to approach each other so that the buckle 231 is separated from the non-return surface 133. The direction of the force applied to the release member 24 when moving is the same as the direction in which the second connecting member 23 is pulled out of the slot 131. At the same time as the buckle 231 is separated from the non-return surface 133, the second connecting member 23 will also be pulled out of the slot 131 under the action of external force, that is, the user only needs to apply an external force to separate the pot cover 2 from the pot body 1 while the buckle 231 is separated from the non-return surface 133, so that the user can perform one-handed operation, making the disassembly of the pot cover 2 simpler and faster, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to enable the release member 24 to automatically reset, a baffle 213 is provided at the bottom of the outer cover 21 in this embodiment, and a first elastic member 212 is provided between the baffle 213 and the release member 24. The first elastic member 212 enables the release member 24 to have a movement tendency to reset along the direction in which the second connecting member 23 is inserted into the slot 131. When the release member 24 is not subjected to external force, the first elastic member 212 can enable the release member 24 to automatically reset, which can effectively prevent the second connecting member 23 from remaining in a stressed state for a long time, reduce the possibility of damage to the second connecting member 23, and also facilitate the user's operation and improve the user's experience.

[0046] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the pot cover 2 may also be provided with a first magnetic member, and the first magnetic member acts on the second connecting member 23 to reset the second connecting member 23 along the direction in which the second connecting member 23 is inserted into the slot 131, thereby realizing automatic reset of the second connecting member 23.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two second connecting members 23 and they are arranged side by side laterally, and a force-bearing inclined surface 232 is provided on the opposite side of the second connecting member 23, and a transmission part 241 corresponding to the second connecting member 23 and located on the outside of the second connecting member 23 is provided on the unlocking member 24, and a driving inclined surface 242 is provided on the side of the transmission part 241 facing the second connecting member 23, and the driving inclined surface 242 acts on the force-bearing inclined surface 232 to make the second connecting members 23 approach each other. When the pot cover 2 needs to be removed, the unlocking member 24 moves along the slide groove 211, and in the process of the transmission part 241 moving with the unlocking member 24, the driving inclined surface 242 acts on the force-bearing inclined surface 232 to make the two second connecting members 23 approach each other, so that the buckle 231 is separated from the check surface 133, so as to realize the separation of the pot cover 2 and the pot body 1, and the driving inclined surface 242 cooperates with the force-bearing inclined surface 232 to convert the linear motion of the unlocking member 24 into the opposite motion of the two second connecting members 23, which can facilitate the operation of the user.

[0048] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the release member 24 can also be integrally formed with the second connecting member 23, and the release member 24 moves in a direction parallel to the non-return surface 133 to drive the outer end of the second connecting member 23 to disengage from the non-return surface 133. The release member 24 and the second connecting member 23 are integrally formed to avoid slipping between the release member 24 and the second connecting member 23, so that the movement of the release member 24 can be stably transmitted to the buckle 231 and drive the buckle 231 to disengage from the non-return surface 133.

[0049] In this embodiment, the second connecting member 23 is provided with a second elastic member 233 that keeps the two second connecting members 23 away from each other. The second elastic member 233 is located between the two force-bearing inclined surfaces 232. The force application point of the second elastic member 233 on the second connecting member 23 and the force application point of the driving inclined surface 242 on the force-bearing inclined surface 232 are relatively close. The second connecting member 23 can have a larger deformation through the release member 24, so that the buckle 231 can be smoothly separated from the non-return surface 133, reducing the difficulty of separating the pot cover 2 from the pot body 1. Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the second connecting member 23 can also be provided with a second magnetic member, and the second magnetic member acts on the second connecting member 23 to keep the two second connecting members 23 away from each other.

[0050] When the two buckles 231 are inserted into the position matching the non-return surface 133, under the action of the second elastic member 233, they will automatically move away and resist against the non-return surface 133, allowing the user to feel that the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13 are connected in place, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of connecting the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13, and at the same time, it can also reduce the possibility of the buckle 231 arbitrarily detaching from the non-return surface 133, thereby improving the connection stability of the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13.

[0051] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the two second connecting members 23 may also be arranged side by side at different heights, and a third elastic member is provided between the higher second connecting member 23 and the pot cover 2 to enable it to maintain an upward movement trend, and a fourth elastic member is provided between the lower second connecting member 23 and the pot cover 2 to enable it to maintain a downward movement trend; of course, the lower second connecting member 23 may also utilize gravity to maintain the downward movement trend, thereby saving the use of elastic members, and at the same time, it can also avoid the lower second connecting member 23 from being in a stressed state for a long time, which can increase the service life of the lower second connecting member 23.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, the pot cover 2 in this embodiment is provided with a buckle position 215 for installing the second connecting member 23 and a limiting rib 214 for limiting the second connecting member 23. The second connecting member 23 is provided with a convex rib 234 which abuts against the limiting rib 214 to achieve upper limit in the extension direction. Two limiting ribs 214 are provided on the outer side of the second connecting member 23, and the limiting ribs 214 on the same side are arranged at intervals. The convex rib 234 is located on the outer side of the second connecting member 23 and extends into the gap between the two limiting ribs 214. The limiting rib 214 cooperates with the convex rib 234 to limit the displacement of the second connecting member 23 in the extension direction, which can improve the positioning accuracy of the pot cover 2 and enable the pot cover 2 to be normally closed after being connected to the pot body 1. In addition, the buckle position 215 can facilitate the positioning and installation of the second connecting member 23, and reduce the difficulty of installing the second connecting member 23.

[0053] In this embodiment, a fifth elastic member 235 is provided between the two convex ribs 234. The fifth elastic member 235 enables the outer side of the second connecting member 23 to have a movement tendency to keep close contact with the limiting rib 214, which can effectively reduce the shaking amplitude of the second connecting member 23 and improve the connection stability between the second connecting member 23 and the pot cover 2.

[0054] Of course, it is understandable that in other embodiments, the inner end of the second connecting member 23 may also be integrally formed with the pot cover 2, or the inner end of the second connecting member 23 may also be hinged to the pot cover 2, so that the second connecting member 23 is positioned at the upper limit of the extension direction of the pot cover 2, thereby limiting the displacement of the second connecting member 23 in the extension direction, which can improve the positioning accuracy of the pot cover 2 and enable the pot cover 2 to be normally closed after being connected to the kettle body 1.

[0055] Secondly, the pot lid 2 described in this embodiment is also provided with a positioning buckle 216 for installing the release member 24. The positioning buckle 216 is distributed on both sides of the release member 24, so that the release member 24 can only reciprocate along the plugging and unplugging direction of the second connecting member 23, reducing the shaking amplitude of the release member 24, making it difficult for the release member 24 to deflect and get stuck, and the separation of the pot lid 2 and the pot body 1 is smoother.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner wall opposite to the slot 131 is provided with a card slot 132, and the non-return surface 133 is located in the card slot 132. The card slot 132 is a through slot, and one end of the card slot 132 passes through the first connecting member 13, and the non-return surface 133 is perpendicular to the direction in which the second connecting member 23 is inserted into the slot 131. The outer side of the buckle 231 is provided with a guide surface 2311 for guiding the second connecting member 23 to be inserted into the slot 131. When the second connecting member 23 is inserted into the slot 131, the two second connecting members 23 are brought close to each other under the action of the guide surface 2311, so that the second connecting member 23 can be inserted into the slot 131. When the buckle 231 extends into the position of the card slot 132, the two second connecting members 23 are separated from each other under the action of the first elastic member 212, so that the buckle 231 is embedded in the card slot 132. At this time, the buckle 231 and the non-return surface 133 can limit the second connecting member 23 from being separated from the slot 131, thereby realizing the connection between the pot cover 2 and the pot body 1.

[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the slot 132 can also be a blind slot, and the slot 132 extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the second connector 23 is inserted into the slot 131 , and the slot 132 does not penetrate the first connector 13 .

[0058] like Fig. 9As shown, in one embodiment, the non-return surface 133 on the first connecting member 13 can also be inclined relative to the direction in which the second connecting member 23 is inserted into the slot 131, and the non-return surface 133 extends toward the outside of the first connecting member 13 along the direction in which the second connecting member 23 is inserted into the slot 131, and the outer side surface of the outer end of the second connecting member 23 is arranged on a fitting curved surface that is close to the non-return surface 133.

[0059] like Fig.10 As shown, in another embodiment, the slot 131 can be through the first connecting member 13, and the outer end of the second connecting member 23 is inserted from one end of the slot 131, and the non-return surface 133 is located at the edge of the other end of the slot 131. When the buckle 231 passes through the slot 131, the two second connecting members 23 are separated from each other under the action of the second elastic member 233, so that the buckle 231 is against the non-return surface 133, thereby limiting the second connecting member 23 from being separated from the first connecting member 13, thereby realizing the connection between the pot cover 2 and the pot body 1. In this embodiment, the non-return surface 133 is set at the edge of the other end of the slot 131, and the setting of the card slot 132 can be omitted, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing difficulty and manufacturing cost of the first connecting member 13.

[0060] In another embodiment, the pot lid 2 may be provided with a second connecting member 23, and the pot lid 2 is also provided with a fixed connecting arm, which extends side by side with the second connecting member 23 and is inserted into the slot 131 together, and a buckle 231 is provided at the outer end of the second connecting member 23, which protrudes in a direction away from the connecting arm, and the second connecting member 23 maintains a tendency to move away from the connecting arm so that the buckle 231 remains in contact with the check surface 133, and the connecting arm can increase the contact area between the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13, so that the force on the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13 is more balanced, and the possibility of the second connecting member 23 and the first connecting member 13 being skewed is reduced.

[0061] In addition to the above-mentioned preferred embodiments, the present invention also has other implementation modes. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection requested by the present invention.
