Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of small household appliances, and in particular to an electric kettle for a tea bar machine. Background Art

[0002] A tea bar machine is a small household drinking water appliance that combines the functions of drinking water and making tea. It is very common in home and work life. Most traditional tea bar machines are equipped with a faucet and an electric kettle. In addition to boiling water, the electric kettle can also be equipped with a tea basket on the lid to make tea, which is popular among consumers. However, when adding water to the electric kettle, the lid needs to be opened, and the water flows in from the upper part of the electric kettle, which makes the operation of adding water more cumbersome. In order to make it more convenient to add water, some tea bar machines are equipped with a way of letting water in from the center of the bar connector. The water filling port is placed in the middle of the bar connector, and the bottom connector of the electric kettle is provided with a water inlet. When the bottom connector of the electric kettle is placed on the bar connector, water fills the water port. In order to prevent water from flowing back, some new electric kettles are provided with a water pipe connected to the water filling port in the handle. The injected water enters the kettle body from the top of the handle through the water pipe. However, the way of water filling from the top of the handle easily makes the water flow towards the water level detection component, resulting in misjudgment due to the water level detection component being triggered when the water is not filled, which in turn causes the water filling to be abnormally stopped, affecting the normal use of the electric kettle and greatly reducing the user experience of the tea bar machine. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application provides an electric kettle for a tea bar machine, so as to solve the technical problem that the water level detection component is easily triggered by mistake during the water filling process, causing the electric kettle to abnormally stop adding water.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this application is:

[0005] An electric kettle for a tea bar machine comprises a kettle body and a handle installed on the outside of the kettle body, a water inlet hole is provided on the side wall of the kettle body, a water passage is provided in the handle, a water outlet nozzle and a water level detection component are installed in the water inlet hole, the water outlet nozzle comprises a water inlet part, a water outlet part and a water retaining part located between the water inlet part and the water outlet part, the water inlet part is provided with a water inlet channel, the water inlet part passes through the water inlet hole and is connected with the water passage, the water outlet part is provided with a water outlet channel connected with the water inlet channel, the water outlet channel is provided with two water outlet ends extending opposite to each other in a horizontal direction, the bottom of the water outlet end is recessed inwardly to form a notch-shaped water guide edge, the water retaining part is provided with a guide surface inclined in a direction away from the water level detection component, and the guide surface is located below the water outlet part.

[0006] The electric kettle for the tea bar machine in this application also has the following additional technical features:

[0007] The water level detection component is located on the side of the water retaining part facing the water inlet part, and a water retaining surface is provided on the side of the water retaining part away from the water inlet part. The water outlet is formed on the water retaining surface, and the projection of the water outlet toward the water retaining surface falls into the water retaining surface. The guide surface is formed at the bottom of the water retaining surface.

[0008] The length dimension of the bottom edge of the water outlet portion used for connecting the water guiding edges at both ends is less than or equal to the length dimension of the guide surface; or, the length dimension of the bottom edge of the water outlet portion used for connecting the water guiding edges at both ends is greater than the length dimension of the guide surface.

[0009] A guide surface is provided on the side of the water retaining part, the guide surface is connected to the water retaining surface and arranged at an angle, the top end of the guide surface is not lower than the water outlet end, and the bottom end of the guide surface is engaged with the guide surface.

[0010] The area of ​​the guide surface gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0011] The electric kettle also includes a waterproof component installed in the water inlet hole, the waterproof component wraps the water level detection component, and the lower end of the water level detection component passes through the bottom of the waterproof component to form a water level detection part for detecting the water level.

[0012] The electric kettle further comprises a fixed shaft and a locking member, wherein the locking member is arranged in the handle, the fixed shaft is passed through the waterproof member and is locked and connected with the locking member to lock the waterproof member in the water inlet hole;

[0013] The fixed shaft is provided with an axis hole, the water inlet portion passes through the axis hole and enters the handle, and the water retaining portion abuts against the waterproof component to cover the end of the fixed shaft located in the kettle body.

[0014] The handle is hollow inside to form an installation channel, the water pipe is set as a water pipe installed in the installation channel, the water inlet is plug-connected with the water pipe, and a connector with a water outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the kettle body, and the water outlet pipe is connected to the water pipe.

[0015] The handle is hollow inside to form an installation channel, the water flow pipe is configured as a water pipe installed in the installation channel, the water inlet is plug-connected to the water pipe, the bottom of the kettle body or the bottom of the handle is provided with a water inlet connected to the water pipe, and the water inlet is used to connect to the water supply outlet on the bar counter of the tea bar machine.

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical effects achieved by this application are:

[0017] 1. The electric kettle for a tea bar machine provided in the present application has two water outlet ends extending in opposite directions in the horizontal direction through the water outlet channel. Compared with one water outlet end, the arrangement of the two water outlet ends increases the water output per unit time while sharing the water outlet pressure. The water outlet is more gentle, which helps to reduce the splashing of water droplets at the water outlet end and reduce the probability of false triggering of the water level detection component due to water droplets splashing onto the water level detection component. The bottom of the water outlet is recessed inward to form a notch-shaped water guide edge, which can guide the water flow downward. In particular, when the water pump pumping water to the electric kettle stops, a small amount of water still flows out of the water outlet, and the water guide edge can guide the water flow to the bottom of the water outlet, reducing the phenomenon of water flowing toward the water level detection component. At the same time, the water retaining part can block the water flow sprayed from the water outlet. The water retaining part is provided with a guide surface inclined in a direction away from the water level detection component. The guide surface is located below the water outlet, so that the water flow guided downward by the water guide edge can flow along the guide surface in a direction away from the water level detection component, reducing the risk of misjudgment of the water level due to contact between the water flow and the water level detection component, ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of the water level detection of the water level detection component, and allowing the tea bar machine to reliably and normally operate the program of adding water to the electric kettle.

[0018] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a water retaining surface is provided on the back of the water retaining part, and the water outlet part is formed on the water retaining surface. The projection of the water outlet part toward the water retaining surface falls into the water retaining surface. The water retaining surface is effectively utilized to form a water barrier during the water discharge process at the two water outlet ends, and the water flow is guided toward the guide surface at the bottom, so that the guide surface effectively guides the water flow in a direction away from the water level detection component, thereby reducing the risk of the water level detection component being triggered by mistake.

[0019] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the length dimension of the bottom edge of the water outlet portion for connecting the water guiding edges at both ends is less than or equal to the length dimension of the guide surface. On the one hand, by reducing the size of the bottom edge of the water guiding edges at both ends, it helps to increase the curvature of the water guiding edges, so that the water guiding edges have a better water guiding effect. On the other hand, it also enables the guide surface to more fully receive the water guided downward by the upper water guiding edge, so that the water flow is guided as much as possible by the guide surface in the direction away from the water level detection component.

[0020] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the length dimension of the bottom edge of the water outlet portion for connecting the water guide edges at both ends is greater than the length dimension of the guide surface. By increasing the size of the bottom edge of the water guide edges at both ends, it is helpful to reduce the curvature of the water guide edges, making the water shape at the water outlet more beautiful. Furthermore, a guiding surface is provided on the side of the water retaining portion, the guiding surface is connected to the water retaining surface and arranged at an angle, the top of the guiding surface is not lower than the water outlet end, and the bottom of the guiding surface is engaged with the guide surface, so that the water sprayed from the water outlet end can flow toward the guide surface under the guidance of the guiding surface, and finally be guided by the guide surface in the direction away from the water level detection member.

[0021] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the area of ​​the guide surface gradually decreases from top to bottom, which helps the water flowing on the guide surface to converge into a pointed water flow, facilitates the water flow to quickly leave the guide surface, and also improves the water shape guided by the guide surface to be more beautiful.

[0022] 6. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the waterproof component wraps the water level detection component, and the lower end of the water level detection component passes through the bottom of the waterproof component to form a water level detection part for detecting the water level, so that most of the water level detection component is wrapped by the waterproof component, and only the water level detection part at the lower end is exposed and used to detect the water level, which increases the difficulty of water sprayed from the water outlet end splashing onto the water level detection component, and water hanging on the inner wall of the kettle body is also difficult to contact the water level detection part, thereby greatly reducing the probability of misjudgment of the water level by the water level detection component.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, an electric kettle for a tea bar machine is provided. For the convenience of explanation and understanding, the following contents provided in the present application are all described based on the illustrated product structure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the above structure is only used as a specific example and schematic description, and cannot constitute a specific limitation on the technical solution provided in the present application.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present application provides an electric kettle for a tea bar machine, comprising a kettle body 1 and a handle 2 installed on the outside of the kettle body 1, the side wall of the kettle body 1 is provided with a water inlet hole 11, the handle 2 is provided with a water pipe, the water inlet hole 11 is provided with a water outlet nozzle 3 and a water level detection member 4, the water outlet nozzle 3 comprises a water inlet portion 31, a water outlet portion 32 and a water retaining portion 33 located between the water inlet portion 31 and the water outlet portion 32, the water inlet portion 31 is provided with a water inlet channel, the water inlet The water portion 31 passes through the water inlet hole 11 and is connected to the water pipe. The water outlet portion 32 is provided with a water outlet channel connected to the water inlet channel. The water outlet channel is provided with two water outlet ends 321 extending in opposite directions in a horizontal direction. The bottom of the water outlet end 321 is recessed inward to form a notch-shaped water guide edge 322. The water retaining portion 33 is provided with a guide surface 331 inclined in a direction away from the water level detection component 4, and the guide surface 331 is located below the water outlet portion 32.

[0048] In the electric kettle provided by the present application, a water pipe is arranged in the handle 2, a water inlet hole 11 is provided in the kettle body 1, and a water outlet 3 is provided with a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel. The water pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the kettle body 1 through the water outlet 3, so that the tea bar machine can supply water to the kettle body 1 through the water pipe and the water outlet 3. Therefore, the handle 2 can not only be used to hold the electric kettle for taking out, but also can be used as a way for the tea bar machine to add water to the electric kettle. When working, the water source of the tea bar machine sequentially adds water to the kettle body 1 through the water pipe and the water outlet 3, and stops adding water when the water level detection part 4 detects that the water level reaches the requirement. The water level detection part 4 can detect the water level when adding water, and stop adding water after the water level reaches the preset height. For example, the highest water level can be set at a position lower than the water outlet 3. When the water level detection part 4 detects the highest water level, stop adding water to avoid the water flow spreading to the water outlet 3 and causing backflow.

[0049] In addition, by providing the water outlet channel with two water outlet ends 321 extending in opposite directions in the horizontal direction, compared with one water outlet end, the setting of the two water outlet ends 321 can share the water outlet pressure while increasing the water outlet volume per unit time, and the water outlet is more moderate, which helps to reduce the splashing of water droplets at the water outlet end 321 and reduce the probability of water droplets splashing onto the water level detection element 4 and causing it to be falsely triggered. The bottom of the water outlet end 321 is recessed inward to form a notch-shaped water guiding edge 322, which can guide the water flow downward. In particular, when the water pump pumping water to the electric kettle stops, a small amount of water still flows out of the water outlet end 321, and the water guiding edge 322 can guide the water flow to the bottom of the water outlet portion 32, reducing the phenomenon of water flowing toward the water level detection member 4. At the same time, the water retaining portion 33 can block the water flow sprayed from the water outlet end 321. The water retaining portion 33 is provided with a guiding surface 331 inclined in a direction away from the water level detection member 4. The guiding surface 331 is located below the water outlet portion 32, so that the water flow guided downward by the water guiding edge 322 can flow along the guiding surface 331 in a direction away from the water level detection member 4, reducing the risk of water level misjudgment caused by contact between the water flow and the water level detection member 4, ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of the water level detection of the water level detection member 4, and allowing the tea bar machine to reliably and normally operate the program of adding water to the electric kettle.

[0050] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figures 4 to 7As shown, the water level detecting component 4 is located on the side of the water retaining portion 33 facing the water inlet portion 31, and a water retaining surface 332 is provided on the side of the water retaining portion 33 facing away from the water inlet portion 31. The water outlet portion 32 is formed on the water retaining surface 332, and the projection of the water outlet portion 32 toward the water retaining surface 332 falls into the water retaining surface 332. The guide surface 331 is formed at the bottom of the water retaining surface 332. The projection of the water outlet 32 ​​toward the water retaining surface 332 falls into the water retaining surface 332, that is, the water outlet 32 ​​as a whole is smaller than the water retaining surface 332, and the water outlet 32 ​​and the water level detection component 4 are respectively located on two sides opposite to each other of the water retaining component 33. Therefore, when water is discharged from the water outlet end 321, the water flow sprayed from the water outlet end 321 in a parabolic direction and the water flow guided downward by the water guide edge 322 are both blocked by the water retaining surface 332, so that the water flow flows downward along the water retaining surface 332 to the guide surface 331 at the bottom, and then is guided by the guide surface 331 in a direction away from the water level detection component 4, thereby reducing the risk of the water flow sprayed from the water outlet end 321 directly contacting the water level detection component 4, and effectively avoiding the water level detection component 4 from being triggered incorrectly.

[0051] As a first example of this implementation, the length of the bottom edge of the water outlet 32 ​​for connecting the water guide edges 322 at both ends is less than or equal to the length of the guide surface 331. Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, L1 schematically represents the length dimension of the bottom edge of the water outlet portion 32 for connecting the water guiding edges 322 at both ends, and L2 represents the length dimension of the guide surface 331, wherein L1≤L2. When the overall length of the water outlet portion 32 is determined, by making L1≤L2, on the one hand, the size of the bottom edge of the water guiding edges 322 at both ends is reduced, which helps to increase the curvature of the water guiding edges 322, so that the water guiding edges 322 have a better water guiding effect. On the other hand, it also enables the guide surface 331 to more fully receive the water guided downward by the upper water guiding edge 322, so that the water flow is guided by the guide surface 331 as much as possible in the direction away from the water level detection member 4.

[0052] As a second example of this implementation, the length of the bottom edge of the water outlet 32 ​​for connecting the water guide edges 322 at both ends may be greater than the length of the guide surface 331. Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, L3 schematically represents the length dimension of the bottom edge of the water outlet 32 ​​used to connect the water guide edges 322 at both ends, and L4 represents the length dimension of the guide surface 331, wherein L3>L4. When the overall length of the water outlet 32 ​​is determined, by making L3>L4, it is helpful to reduce the curvature of the water guide edge 322, so that the water sprayed from the water outlet 321 is left in a parabolic shape, and a small part of the water is guided downward by the water guide edge 322, so that the water outlet shape is more beautiful. When the water pump that pumps water to the electric kettle stops at the moment causing a small part of water to still flow out of the water outlet 321, the water guide edge 322 can still guide the water flow to the bottom of the water outlet 32, thereby reducing the phenomenon of water flow toward the water level detection member 4. Further, in this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a guide surface 333 is provided on the side of the water retaining portion 33 , the guide surface 333 is connected to the water retaining surface 332 and arranged at an angle, the top of the guide surface 333 is not lower than the water outlet end 321 , and the bottom of the guide surface 333 is engaged with the guide surface 331 . Those skilled in the art can understand that, when the water outlet 3 is discharging water normally, the water sprayed from the water outlet end 321 and flowing in a parabolic direction will contact the water retaining surface 332. When the water contacting the water retaining surface 332 flows to the edge of the water retaining portion 33, it tends to flow toward the rear water retaining portion 33. Therefore, the guide surface 333 is connected to the water retaining surface 332 and is arranged at an angle. The top of the guide surface 333 is not lower than the water outlet end 321 and the bottom of the guide surface 333 is engaged with the guide surface 331, so that the water sprayed from the water outlet end 321 can flow toward the guide surface 331 under the guidance of the guide surface 333, thereby preventing the water from flowing toward the position where the rear water level detection component 4 is located as much as possible. The water flow guided downward by the guide surface 333 is finally guided by the guide surface 331 in a direction away from the water level detection component 4.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment of this implementation, Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the area of ​​the guide surface 331 gradually decreases from top to bottom, which helps the water flowing on the guide surface 331 to converge into a pointed water flow, facilitates the water flow to quickly leave the guide surface 331, and also improves the water shape guided by the guide surface 331 to be more beautiful.

[0054] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the electric kettle also includes a waterproof member 5 installed in the water inlet hole 11, the waterproof member 5 wraps the water level detection member 4, and the lower end of the water level detection member 4 passes through the bottom of the waterproof member 5 to form a water level detection part 41 for detecting the water level. Preferably, the waterproof member 5 can be made of waterproof silica gel, which has excellent waterproof performance and can prevent the waterproof member 5 from adversely affecting the water quality of the water stored in the electric kettle when it is heated. The two ends of the waterproof member 5 can be respectively stopped by the inner and outer sides of the side wall of the kettle body 1 to limit the movement along the axial direction of the water inlet hole 11, so that it can be reliably installed in the water inlet hole 11. The waterproof component 5 wraps the water level detection component 4, and the lower end of the water level detection component 4 passes through the bottom of the waterproof component 5 to form a water level detection part 41 for detecting the water level, so that most of the area of ​​the water level detection component 4 is wrapped by the waterproof component 5, and only the water level detection part 41 at the lower end is exposed and used to detect the water level, which increases the difficulty of water sprayed from the water outlet 321 splashing to the water level detection component 4, and the water hanging on the inner wall of the kettle body 1 is also difficult to contact the water level detection part 41, thereby greatly reducing the probability of water level misjudgment by the water level detection component 4.

[0055] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 3As shown, the electric kettle also includes a fixed shaft 6 and a locking member 7. The locking member 7 is arranged in the handle 2. The fixed shaft 6 is inserted into the waterproof member 5 and is locked with the locking member 7 to lock the waterproof member 5 in the water inlet hole 11. The fixed shaft 6 is provided with an axial hole, and the water inlet portion 31 passes through the axial hole and enters the handle 2. The water retaining portion 33 abuts against the waterproof member 5 and covers the end of the fixed shaft 6 located in the kettle body 1. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the connection between the fixed shaft 6 and the locking member 7 not only realizes the reliable positioning of the water level detection member 4 and the waterproof member 5 in the kettle body 1, but also realizes the reliable installation of the upper end of the handle 2 on the outside of the kettle body 1, realizes multiple uses of one piece, saves the cost of accessories, and simplifies the structure of the electric kettle. During specific installation, the fixed shaft 6 can be passed from the kettle body 1 through the water level detection member 4 and the waterproof member 5 and then locked with the locking member 7 in the handle 2. It should be noted that the present application does not limit the connection method between the fixed shaft 6 and the locking member 7. In a preferred embodiment, the fixed shaft 6 and the locking member 7 can be connected by threaded locking, which is convenient, fast and reliable to install. Of course, as a replaceable embodiment, the fixed shaft 6 can also be locked with the locking member 7 by other suitable connection methods, such as riveting, plugging, etc. On the basis of the fixed shaft 6 realizing reliable fixation of the water level detection member 4, the waterproof member 5 and the handle 2, it is also provided with an axial hole for the water inlet 31 to pass through to connect with the water pipe in the handle 2, further expanding the use function of the fixed shaft 6 and saving installation and accessories costs. The water retaining portion 33 is against the waterproof member 5 and covers the end of the fixed shaft 6 located in the kettle body 1, which can prevent the water vapor in the kettle body 1 from entering the handle 2 through the matching gap between the fixed shaft 6 and the water inlet 31, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the electronic devices arranged in the handle 2 and at the bottom of the kettle body 1.

[0056] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, all the aforementioned embodiments and examples of the present application can further make the handle 2 hollow inside to form an installation channel, the water pipe is set as a water pipe 21 installed in the installation channel, and the water inlet 31 is plug-connected with the water pipe 21, which is convenient and quick to install. It should be noted that this embodiment does not specifically limit the water inlet method of the electric kettle, which includes but is not limited to the following embodiments:

[0057] Embodiment 1: Figure 1As shown, the bottom of the kettle is provided with a connector 8 with a water inlet pipe 9, and the water inlet pipe 9 is connected to the water pipe 21. This embodiment is a way for the electric kettle to take in water through the bottom connector 8.
