Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of liquid heating containers, in particular to an electric kettle. Background Art

[0002] Currently, some electric kettles on the market require users to open the lid to add water to the kettle body, which is complicated to operate and provides a poor user experience. Some kettles are equipped with a water inlet channel, which can be sealed manually or automatically. In the manual sealing solution, after the user adds water, the user still needs to manually close the sealing plug to seal the water inlet channel, which is complicated to operate. For automatically sealed products, the water inlet channel is automatically sealed after the user adds water, which saves user operation and provides a pleasant user experience.

[0003] For example, patent CN 206860969 U discloses an automatic switch structure for a water inlet channel, in which the closure member can be deformed to open the water inlet channel when affected by the gravity of falling water, and when no water is entering, the closure member can be attached to the lower end of the water inlet channel to achieve the purpose of sealing, which can prevent dust and mosquitoes from entering the kettle body. However, in the above scheme, the closure member is directly fixed on the water inlet channel, and the closure member will block a part of the opening of the water inlet channel in the fixed area, resulting in a narrowing of the channel area for water inlet, which is not conducive to improving the water inlet efficiency. In addition, the frequent movement of the closure member can easily cause the fixed position to become loose, which can easily affect the sealing effect of the sealing area on the water inlet channel, resulting in a decrease in the reliability of the product.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present application provides an electric kettle, comprising a kettle body 10 and a kettle lid, wherein the kettle lid is provided with a water inlet assembly, wherein the kettle lid comprises an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12, wherein the water inlet assembly comprises a water inlet channel 13 arranged on the upper cover 11 and a sealing member 14 arranged on the lower cover 12, wherein the lower end of the water inlet channel 13 passes through the lower cover 12 and extends into the kettle body 10, wherein the sealing member 14 comprises a sealing portion 141, wherein the sealing portion 141 has a first position and a second position, wherein when the sealing portion 141 is located at the first position, the sealing portion 141 is folded downward to open the water inlet channel 13, and when the sealing portion 141 is located at the second position, the sealing portion 141 closes the water inlet channel 13.

[0046] The electric kettle of the present application has a double-layer lid. By arranging the sealing member 14 on the lower cover 12, on the one hand, when the structural strength of the lower cover 12 is relatively large, it is not easy to deform. Even if the sealing member 14 moves frequently, the fixing reliability of the sealing member 14 and the lower cover 12 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing portion 141 on the water inlet channel 13, and improving the effect of preventing dust and mosquitoes from entering the kettle body 10; on the other hand, since the sealing member 14 is arranged on the lower cover 12, the fixed position of the sealing member 14 can be prevented from blocking the cross-sectional area of ​​the water inlet channel 13, which is conducive to the sealing portion 141 opening a larger opening, thereby improving the water inlet efficiency, so as to meet the user's drinking water needs more quickly and improve the user experience.

[0047] The water inlet channel 13 opens and closes automatically, which saves the user's operation and frees the user's hands, further making the user happy; when the lower cover 12 is a metal lower cover, the surface where the water vapor in the kettle body 10 contacts the kettle lid is metal, which can reduce the probability of deformation of the kettle lid due to long-term fumigation by water vapor, extend its service life, and make it safer to use.

[0048] The electric kettle of the present application can be used with an electric base, and can also be used in a water dispenser, which is not limited in the present application. When water is introduced through the water inlet channel 13, it can be performed manually by the user or by an automatic water inlet device. For example, when the electric kettle is used in a water dispenser, an automatic water supply device is connected to one end of the inlet of the water inlet channel 13. When water needs to be added, water is automatically added to the kettle body 10 through button control, which can further save user operations.

[0049] The upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 are snap-fitted and installed, and the two can be fixed by snap-fitting or locked by screws. Figure 6 As shown, a matching groove 111 structure is provided on the circumference of the upper cover 11 and the water inlet channel 13, and correspondingly, a matching rib structure is provided on the lower cover 12 to be engaged with the matching groove 111, so as to achieve the fixation of the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12. The upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 can be made of metal or other materials. When both the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 are metal covers, the quality of the product can be improved.

[0050] The sealing part 141 is made of silicone. When water enters the water inlet channel 13, the sealing part 141 can be deformed downward to open the water inlet channel 13 due to the gravity of the falling water. When no external force is applied, the sealing part 141 can be attached to the lower end of the water inlet channel 13 due to its own elasticity to achieve sealing. Figure 1 As shown, the sealing portion 141 can cover the entire cross-section of the outlet end of the water inlet channel 13, and the sealing portion 141 can be opened to a larger degree to speed up the water inlet rate.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the lower cover 12 is provided with a mounting opening 121 and a mounting platform 122 surrounding the outside of the mounting opening 121, the lower end of the water inlet channel 13 passes through the mounting opening 121, and the sealing member 14 includes a fixing portion 142 connected to the sealing portion 141, and the fixing portion 142 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 122.

[0052] By fixing the seal 14 to the lower cover 12, under the premise of ensuring a firm installation, only the area of ​​the seal portion 141 can correspond to the water inlet channel 13, ensuring the cross-sectional area of ​​the water inlet channel 13 that can pass water, which is beneficial to improving the water inlet efficiency.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, a horizontally extending annular mounting platform 122 is formed outside the mounting opening 121, providing space for the mounting of the fixing portion 142. The lower end of the water inlet channel 13 passes through the mounting opening 121, that is, the bottom end of the water inlet channel 13 is lower than the mounting opening 121, so that the sealing portion 141 can be conveniently attached to the bottom end of the water inlet channel 13 to achieve sealing. Figure 5 As shown, the shape of the sealing portion 141 is approximately circular, and the fixing portion 142 can be semicircular, and the two can be integrally formed, for example.

[0054] Furthermore, the mounting platform 122 is provided with a through mounting groove 123, the fixing portion 142 is provided with an upwardly protruding fixing column 143, the upper end of the fixing column 143 is provided with a stopper 144, the fixing column 143 passes through the mounting groove 123, and the lower surface of the stopper 144 stops on the upper surface of the mounting groove 123.

[0055] When installing the seal 14, the fixing column 143 is inserted into the installation groove 123, which is simple to operate, and the stopper 144 can prevent the fixing column 143 from coming out of the installation groove 123, thereby improving the reliability of the fixation. Preferably, the fixing column 143 and the stopper 144 are made of silicone. To achieve the stopper 144, the radial dimension of the stopper 144 is larger than the radial dimension of the installation groove 123. When installing, the stopper 144 can be squeezed to pass through the installation groove 123 from below. The shape of the stopper 144 can be the same as or different from the shape of the installation groove 123.

[0056] In one embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the cross section of the mounting groove 123 is D-shaped, and the cross section of the stopper 144 is D-shaped, so that the seal 14 can be provided with an anti-rotation effect, so as to prevent the seal 14 from rotating easily during use and affecting the sealing effect of the sealing part 141 on the water inlet channel 13, thereby ensuring the reliability of the seal. In this embodiment, the stopper 144 is consistent with the shape of the mounting groove 123, and along the same radial / lateral direction, the radial size or width of the stopper 144 is greater than the radial size or width of the mounting groove 123, which can effectively prevent the fixing column 143 from falling out of the mounting groove 123. It is understandable that the shape of the stopper 144 and the mounting groove 123 is not limited to the D-shape, for example, it can also be square, polygonal, etc., as long as the anti-rotation requirement is met.

[0057] Furthermore, an upwardly protruding diverter platform 145 is provided on the upper surface of the sealing portion 141 . The diverter platform 145 is provided at one end of the sealing portion 141 away from the fixing portion 142 . A drainage channel 146 is formed between the diverter platform 145 and the edge of the sealing portion 141 .

[0058] By providing the diverter platform 145, when water enters the water inlet channel 13, the raised design of the diverter platform 145 can offset the deformation caused by the influence of gravity of falling water, and can prevent water accumulation in the diverter platform 145 area causing the sealing part 141 to stick and be unable to be washed open by water. Moreover, under the guidance of the diverter platform 145, the incoming water will flow to the drainage channel 146 in all directions, and then when the water inlet channel 13 is opened, the water can fall into the kettle body 10, thereby ensuring smooth water inlet.

[0059] Regarding the formation of the diverter platform 145, in one embodiment, the diverter platform 145 is formed concavely on the lower surface of the sealing portion 141; in another embodiment, the diverter platform 145 is formed convexly on the upper surface of the sealing portion 141. No matter which one is adopted, it is easy to process.

[0060] Preferably, the cross section of the diverter platform 145 is D-shaped, and the diverter platform 145 includes a raised straight-edge water guide surface 147 and a raised arc-shaped water guide surface 148 , and the arc-shaped water guide surface 148 is arranged to face away from the fixing portion 142 .

[0061] By providing a straight-edge water guide surface 147 and an arc-shaped water guide surface 148, water falling onto the diversion platform 145 can be guided to the water guide surface to disperse the water, thereby avoiding adhesion of the sealing portion 141. The arc-shaped water guide surface 148 is relatively long. By arranging it away from the fixed portion 142, most of the water can be guided to the drainage channel 146 by utilizing the arc-shaped water guide surface 148. Furthermore, since the sealing portion 141 is preferentially opened from the side where the arc-shaped water guide surface 148 is located, the water in the drainage channel 146 can be accelerated to enter the kettle body 10, thereby ensuring water intake efficiency.

[0062] like Figure 5As shown, when the sealing portion 141 is approximately circular, the diversion platform 145 is arranged on a semicircle on one side away from the fixing portion 142, so as to guide more water to the edge of the right semicircle. Under the action of the gravity of the water, the sealing portion 141 on this side can be deformed downward to open the water inlet channel 13, thereby ensuring the reliability of water inlet. As a preferred example, the sealing portion 141 can be completely deformed downward to open the entire water inlet channel 13, at which time the water inlet efficiency is the highest.

[0063] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the diversion platform 145 may also adopt other shapes, such as a circle.

[0064] Furthermore, the edge of the sealing portion 141 is provided with an upwardly folded rib 149, and the rib 149 is used to wrap the water inlet channel 13. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the rib 149 can be wrapped around the outer wall of the water inlet channel 13 along the axial direction, which can enhance the sealing effect of the sealing portion 141 on the water inlet channel 13. The range of the rib 149 at least surrounds the arc-shaped edge of the diversion platform 145.

[0065] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a handle 15 is provided on one side of the kettle body 10, and the kettle cover is rotatably connected to the handle 15. A mounting cavity 101 is provided between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12, and an active buckle 16 is provided in the mounting cavity 101. A hook 161 is provided at one end of the active buckle 16, and the hook 161 extends from one side of the mounting cavity 101. A slot 17 is provided on the kettle body 10, and the active buckle 16 moves laterally to lock or unlock the hook 161 with the slot 17.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the pot cover is rotatably connected to the handle 15, and the other end of the pot cover is provided with an active buckle 16. The active buckle 16 is installed in the space between the double-layer covers, so that the active buckle 16 can be hidden, which is conducive to improving the appearance of the product. The user operates the active buckle 16 to open the cover, which is convenient to use. When the cover needs to be opened, the user pushes the active buckle 16 horizontally to move the hook 161 to the left, and the hook 161 can be disengaged from the slot 17, and the pot cover can be opened around the rotation installation position.

[0067] Furthermore, an elastic member 18 is disposed at the other end of the movable buckle 16 to drive the movable buckle 16 to move in the lateral direction, and an operating portion 162 exposed from the upper cover 11 is disposed at the upper end of the movable buckle 16 .

[0068] like Figure 1As shown, a spring is sleeved on the other end of the movable buckle 16. Under the elastic force of the spring, the movable buckle 16 can move back and forth in the horizontal direction, so that the hook 161 moves to the left to disengage from the slot 17, or the hook 161 moves to the right to snap into the slot 17. Figure 2 As shown, the upper cover 11 is provided with a void portion 112 connected to the outside, and the end of the operating portion 162 is located in the void portion 112. The user's finger can be inserted into the void portion 112 and then the operating portion 162 can be pushed, which is convenient to use. Since the void portion 112 is concave, in order to further prevent dust, the void portion 112 can be closed by setting a decorative cover. When the kettle lid needs to be opened, the decorative cover can be opened, which is conducive to the simple and beautiful appearance of the electric kettle.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, an installation cavity 101 is provided between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12, a control board is provided in the installation cavity 101, and the kettle body 10 is provided with a thermostat, which is electrically connected to the control board.
