[0028] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme 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 only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application usually described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application claimed for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0029] This embodiment provides a kettle handle protective cover. Figure 1-4 , which is detachably mounted on the handle 2 of the kettle, and the surface of the protective cover 3 is also covered with an antibacterial coating. Optionally, the antibacterial coating may be a graphene coating. Graphene has good antibacterial, antibacterial and bactericidal effects; when in use, that is, the protective cover 3 is mounted on the handle 2, when a person uses the kettle, the antibacterial properties of the graphene coating can kill the germs attached to the surface of the protective cover 3, so that the protective cover always maintains a nearly sterile state, avoiding secondary contamination of the hands and cross infection.
[0030] The sterilization principle is:
[0031] Physical cutting pathway, that is, when bacteria come into direct contact with graphene-based materials, the sharp sheets of the material pierce the bacterial cell membrane, causing the outflow of cell contents and killing the bacteria;
[0032] Oxidative stress pathway, that is, after the cell membrane comes into direct contact with the graphene-based material, the free radical reaction is stimulated through charge transfer or ROS generation, thereby destroying the membrane structure and important biomacromolecules of the bacteria and causing their death;
[0033] Destroying the lipid molecule pathway, that is, graphene nanosheets can be inserted into the bacterial cell membrane in a short period of time, extracting the phospholipid components therein, or directly spread on the cell membrane surface to cause lipid molecule flipping, ultimately leading to bacterial lysis and death.
[0034] In addition, graphene is extracted from natural graphite minerals, is non-toxic and harmless, and will not cause harm to the human body.
[0035] The beneficial effects achieved by this embodiment are:
[0036] Antibacterial protection: The antibacterial protective cover 3 with a graphene coating can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and viruses and keep the surface of the handle 2 clean.
[0037] Removable installation: The protective cover 3 is detachably installed on the kettle handle 2, which is convenient for cleaning and replacement.
[0038] Reducing cross infection: By maintaining the sterility of the surface of the protective cover 3, the risk of cross infection can be effectively reduced and the health of the user can be protected.
[0039] In a specific embodiment, since the kettle handle 2 is curved, in order to make the protective cover 3 fit the handle 2 better, the material of the protective cover 3 needs to be a flexible material with elasticity. Optionally, the protective cover 3 includes but is not limited to rubber, flexible plastic or silicone material. Preferably, silicone is used in consideration of manufacturing cost and usage requirements, because silicone has the following advantages:
[0040] Softness and elasticity: Silicone has good softness and elasticity, and can better fit on the curved surface of the kettle handle 2, ensuring the fit and stability of the protective cover 3.
[0041] Safe and non-toxic: Silicone is a safe and non-toxic material that meets food-grade safety standards. It will not contaminate the liquid in the kettle or cause harm to the user's health.
[0042] Chemical stability: Silicone has good chemical stability, is not easily corroded or damaged by chemicals, and can maintain its performance and appearance for a long time.
[0043] Low manufacturing cost: The manufacturing cost of silicone is relatively low, which is suitable for large-scale production, helping to reduce product costs and improve market competitiveness.
[0044] On the whole, choosing silicone as the material for the kettle handle protective cover is a suitable choice, which can meet the requirements of fitting performance, safety, stability and cost.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, see Figure 2 , 3, the protective sleeve 3 is made of flexible material, so it has two states, one of which is the unfolded state. When not in use, the entire protective sleeve 3 is in a flat shape. In this state, magnetic components 4 are provided at both ends of the protective sleeve 3, and these magnetic components 4 may be magnets or magnetic alloys. These magnetic components 4 help to maintain the shape of the protective sleeve 3 before use and facilitate the subsequent closed state conversion; the other is the closed state. When in use, the user wraps the protective sleeve 3 around the handle 2 so that it fits the surface of the handle 2. Then the protective sleeve 3 is closed into a cylindrical shape through the magnetic components 4 at both ends. This design allows the protective sleeve 3 to be easily sleeved on the kettle handle 2 and keep it in close contact to ensure effective protection of the user's hands. Or the protective sleeve 3 is first enclosed into a cylindrical shape and then sleeved on the handle from bottom to top. In addition, the design of closing with magnetic components 4 makes the whole process simple and convenient, and the user can quickly fix the protective sleeve 3 on the kettle handle 2 without complicated operations. This design provides a good user experience and increases the ease of use and convenience of the product.
[0046] Furthermore, in the closed state, the shape of the protective sleeve 3 includes an enclosing portion and a connecting portion, which are specifically described as follows:
[0047] Enclosure 6: Enclosure 6 refers to the part of the protective sleeve that fits tightly on the outside of the kettle handle. When the protective sleeve is in a closed state, the enclosure completely surrounds and fits on the outside of the handle, ensuring that the protective sleeve fits tightly on the surface of the handle to provide effective protection.
[0048] Connecting part 7: Connecting part 7 is located at both ends of the protective sleeve 3, and is used to connect the enclosure part 6 and ensure the stability of the closed state. Magnetic components are provided on the connecting part to absorb and fix the closed state of the protective sleeve. These magnetic components can be made of materials such as magnets or magnetic alloys, and the protective sleeve is closed into a cylindrical shape by magnetic force and kept fixed on the handle of the kettle.
[0049] Through such a design, the enclosure and the connection work together, so that the protective cover can effectively fit on the handle of the kettle and maintain a closed state, providing a good protective effect. At the same time, the setting of the magnetic suction component also ensures the rapid fixation of the closed state, so that the user can easily and conveniently operate the protective cover during use.
[0050] In further embodiments, see Figure 5 The connection form of the connecting parts 7 at both ends of the protective sleeve 3 also includes an upper and lower overlapping mode, wherein the magnetic attraction components are respectively arranged on both sides of the protective sleeve 3.
[0051] In addition, the technical details can be further enriched, such as determining the specific material and shape of the magnetic attraction component 4, ensuring stability and firmness during closure, and considering the softness and durability of the protective cover 3.
[0052] The following factors need to be considered when selecting the specific material and shape of the magnetic component 4:
[0053] Selection of magnetic materials: Generally, the material used to make the magnetic attraction component 4 can be a permanent magnetic material, such as neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) or cobalt iron boron (SmCo), or a soft magnetic material, such as ferrite. Permanent magnetic materials have strong magnetism but high cost, while soft magnetic materials have relatively weak magnetism but lower cost. Therefore, a suitable magnetic material can be selected according to actual needs and cost considerations.
[0054] Regarding the shape design: the shape of the magnetic component 4 should be able to effectively absorb and fix the protective cover 3, and provide sufficient firmness in the closed state. In this embodiment, a square shape is preferred. In practical applications, the material and thickness of the protective cover 3 are also taken into consideration to ensure that the magnetic force of the magnetic component 4 can fully absorb and maintain the closed state.
[0055] In another preferred embodiment, the connecting parts on both sides of the protective sleeve 3 are connected by buckling. Specifically, a plurality of male buckles arranged at equal intervals are provided on the connecting part on one side, and a plurality of female buckles matched with the male buckles are provided on the connecting part on the other side.
[0056] In another preferred embodiment, the connecting parts on both sides of the protective cover 3 are bonded together. Specifically, a row of male Velcro patches are provided on the connecting part on one side, and a row of female Velcro patches matched therewith are provided on the connecting part on the other side.
[0057] In a further embodiment, see Figure 4 It is a good design choice to provide anti-skid pattern 5 on the outer surface of the protective cover. Such a design can increase the comfort and stability of the user when holding the protective cover, especially when using a kettle, the protective cover often contacts wet hands or water droplets, and the design of anti-skid pattern 5 can prevent the kettle from slipping. Optionally, the anti-skid pattern 5 design includes a plurality of equally spaced protrusions, which can increase the friction between the hand and the protective cover and provide a better grip.
[0058] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
