Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kettles, in particular to a kettle which can directionally release accumulated water on a kettle cover caused by internal steam. Background Art
[0002] An electric kettle usually has a kettle body that can be used to boil water electrically and a kettle lid that is covered on the kettle body. The kettle lid has two types: removable and non-removable. The non-removable kettle lid is rotatably connected to the kettle body by a rotating shaft connection, so that the non-removable kettle lid can be rotated and opened. The removable kettle lid is usually covered from top to bottom at the upper mouth of the kettle body and can be removed at any time. In order to prevent the removable kettle lid from falling off easily, some designers will also set a fastening rubber ring or a spring clamping structure on the kettle lid. When the kettle lid is covered on the kettle body, the above-mentioned fastening structure cooperates with the kettle body to prevent it from falling off.
[0003] When the electric kettle is filled with high-temperature water or the water in the kettle body is heated to a high temperature by electricity, a large amount of steam will be formed in the kettle body. After the steam contacts the kettle lid above, part of the steam will liquefy on the kettle lid to form water droplets attached to the kettle lid. As the contact time between the steam and the kettle lid increases, the amount of water droplets attached to the kettle lid gradually increases. When the water in the kettle body is still at a high temperature, the water droplets attached to the kettle lid are usually high-temperature water droplets. At this time, if the removable kettle lid needs to be removed, it is easy to cause a large number of water droplets on the kettle lid to suddenly gather to form a water flow due to shaking the kettle lid during the process of removing the kettle lid, which may accidentally scald the user. In addition, the gathered water flow will flow down to the countertop, causing the countertop to be excessively wet. Utility Model Content
[0004] The utility model aims to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a kettle capable of directionally releasing accumulated water on a kettle lid due to internal steam, comprising a kettle body, a kettle lid covering the upper mouth of the kettle body, a kettle spout protruding outward formed at the upper mouth of the kettle body, and a kettle lid having a steam resistance member protruding into the kettle body; the steam resistance member having a water-collecting circumferential side surface located in the kettle body and a directional release bottom surface, the water-collecting circumferential side surface being arranged from an edge area of the steam resistance member toward a central area of the steam resistance member and gradually inclined from top to bottom, and the directional release bottom surface being arranged from a side close to the kettle spout to a side away from the kettle spout and inclined from top to bottom.
[0006] As a further solution of the utility model: a kettle body handle is connected to the outer side of the kettle body.
[0007] As a further solution of the utility model: the kettle handle is connected to a side of the kettle body away from the kettle spout.
[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: a side wall of the kettle body away from the spout is provided with a vertically arranged covering guide column, and a covering guide groove corresponding to the covering guide column is formed on the steam resisting member.
[0009] As a further solution of the utility model: the covering guide groove has a guide groove opening which passes through from top to bottom, and a lateral matching groove opening facing the side wall of the kettle body; the upper end of the covering guide column extends upward to exceed the upper pot mouth of the kettle body, and bends outward to form an arc-shaped portion surrounding the edge of the upper pot mouth; the portion of the pot lid higher than the covering guide groove extends outward to be located above the arc-shaped portion, forming a support plate matching the arc-shaped portion.
[0010] As a further solution of the utility model: a lid handle is connected to the top of the lid.
[0011] As a further solution of the utility model: the lid handle is connected to the central area of the top of the lid; the outer side surface of the top of the lid is gradually concave from the edge area of the lid to the central area of the lid and from top to bottom.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this technical solution are:
[0013] (i) When the kettle body is loaded with a high-temperature liquid capable of generating steam, the steam rises and liquefies at the steam resistance member, forming water droplets attached to the steam resistance member; when the water droplets gradually gather and become large water droplets, under the influence of gravity, the water droplets quickly gather downward along the inclined water-collecting circumferential side surface to the bottom center area of the steam resistance member, and at the bottom center area of the steam resistance member, the water droplets are further gathered to the side of the directional release bottom surface away from the kettle spout through the inclined directional release bottom surface, so that the water droplets formed on the steam resistance member after the steam liquefaction can quickly gather to the designated position, and the water droplets are more likely to drip from the steam resistance member after gathering, so that the amount of water droplets formed on the steam resistance member is always at a low level; when the user opens the kettle lid, the amount of water droplets remaining on the steam resistance member of the kettle lid is relatively low, which is not likely to cause burns to the user or cause the countertop to be over-wet;
[0014] (ii) When the kettle lid is closed on the kettle body and the steam stopper is placed in the kettle body, the directional release bottom surface is designed to be inclined from a side close to the kettle spout to a side away from the kettle spout and from top to bottom. When the directional release of water droplets is satisfied, the directional release bottom surface also serves as a guide for the steam to be discharged from the kettle spout.
[0015] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, and in part will become apparent from the following description, or will be learned through the practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] See also Figure 1-3 The kettle can release the accumulated water on the kettle cover due to internal steam in a directional manner. The kettle comprises a kettle body 1, a kettle cover 2 is covered at the upper mouth of the kettle body 1, and a spout 3 protruding outward is formed at the upper mouth of the kettle body.
[0024] The kettle may be an electrically heated kettle, for example, having an electric heating element 4 connected to the bottom of the kettle body 1, which may cooperate with a commonly used electric heating seat with a coupler to perform electric heating to boil water.
[0025] The kettle body 1 can be used to load high-temperature liquid. For example, the room-temperature liquid in the kettle body 1 can be heated by the electric heating element 4 to turn it into high-temperature liquid. Alternatively, the high-temperature liquid can be poured into the kettle body 1 after the kettle lid 2 is opened.
[0026] The kettle cover 2 has a steam resistance member 5 protruding into the kettle body 1. The steam resistance member 5 has a water-collecting circumferential side surface 501 and a directional release bottom surface 502 located in the kettle body 1. The water-collecting circumferential side surface 501 is gradually inclined from the edge area of the steam resistance member 5 to the center area of the steam resistance member 5 and from top to bottom, and the directional release bottom surface 502 is inclined from the side close to the spout 3 to the side away from the spout 3 and from top to bottom.
[0027] When the kettle body 1 is loaded with a high-temperature liquid capable of generating steam, the steam rises and liquefies at the steam resistance member 5, forming water droplets attached to the steam resistance member 5. When the water droplets gradually gather and become large water droplets, under the influence of gravity, the water droplets quickly converge downward along the inclined water-collecting circumferential side surface 501 to the bottom center area of the steam resistance member 5, and at the bottom center area of the steam resistance member 5, through the inclined directional release bottom surface 502, the water droplets are further gathered to the side of the directional release bottom surface 502 away from the kettle spout, so that the water droplets formed on the steam resistance member 5 after the steam liquefaction can quickly gather to the designated position, and the water droplets are easier to drip from the steam resistance member 5 after gathering, so that the amount of water droplets formed on the steam resistance member 5 is always at a low level. When the user opens the kettle lid 2, the amount of water droplets remaining on the steam resistance member 5 of the kettle lid is relatively low, which is not likely to cause burns to the user or cause the countertop to be too wet.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, when the kettle lid 2 is closed on the kettle body 1 and the steam resisting member 5 is placed in the kettle body 1, a steam exhaust channel 6 (which can also be used for pouring water) is formed between the steam resisting member 5 and the kettle spout 3. The directional release bottom surface 502 is designed to be inclined from the side close to the kettle spout 3 to the side away from the kettle spout 3 and from top to bottom. When the directional release of water droplets is satisfied, the directional release bottom surface 502 also guides the steam to guide the steam to be discharged from the steam exhaust channel 6, which has better functionality.
[0029] In the embodiment of the utility model, a kettle body handle 7 is connected to the outer side of the kettle body 1 to facilitate taking and moving the kettle body 1.
[0030] Preferably, the kettle body handle 7 is connected to the side of the kettle body 1 away from the kettle spout 3. That is, "the directional release bottom surface 502 is inclined from the side close to the kettle spout 3 to the side close to the kettle body handle 7 and from top to bottom".
[0031] A vertically arranged cover guide post 8 is arranged on one side wall of the kettle body 1 away from the spout 3, and a cover guide groove 9 corresponding to the cover guide post 8 is formed on the steam resisting member 5. The cooperation between the cover guide post 8 and the cover guide groove 9 enables the steam resisting member 5 to vertically enter the kettle body 1 at the upper mouth of the kettle body 1, and vertically rise from the kettle body 1 to the upper mouth of the kettle body 1, ensuring that the steam resisting member 5 cannot rotate along its circumferential direction in the kettle body 1, that is, it is always ensured that "the directional release bottom surface 502 is arranged to be inclined from the side close to the spout 3 to the side close to the kettle body handle 7 and from top to bottom".
[0032] More preferably, the cover guide groove 9 has a guide groove opening that passes through from top to bottom, and a lateral matching groove opening facing the side wall of the kettle body 1. The upper end of the cover guide post 8 extends upward to exceed the upper pot mouth of the kettle body 1, and bends outward to form an arc-shaped portion 801 surrounding the edge of the upper pot mouth. The portion of the kettle lid 2 that is higher than the cover guide groove 9 extends outward to be located above the arc-shaped portion 801, forming a support plate 10 that matches the arc-shaped portion 801.
[0033] In the embodiment of the utility model, a lid handle 11 is connected to the top of the lid 2, which is convenient for removing the lid 2 from the pot body 1. The lid handle 11 is connected to the central area of the top of the lid 2, and the outer side of the top of the lid 2 is gradually concave from the edge area of the lid 2 to the central area of the lid 2 and from top to bottom, which is convenient for cleaning the part of the lid 2 near the lid handle 11. For details, please refer to Figure 1 When the top of the pot cover 2 is concave, it is correspondingly recessed into the space formed by the steam resisting member 5, which has little effect on the overall volume.
[0034] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
