AI Technical Summary
When the lid of the existing kettle is automatically opened, the force is too strong and it is easy to hit the user's hands. When the opening angle is not enough, the problem of hand clamping or nose bumping is likely to occur.
A buffer positioning structure of the kettle lid is designed. By setting the flange, buffer edge, groove and clamping edge, when the cover is automatically opened, the flange reduces the speed through the buffer edge, and clamps into the groove and keeps the half-open state to avoid impacting the hand; when it is necessary to fully open, the flange can be fixed at a full opening angle across the clamping edge.
It effectively avoids discomfort of impacting the user's hands when the cover is automatically opened, and at the same time, it avoids the problem of touching the nose in full open state, and meets the opening angle selection of different usage needs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a kettle cover, and in particular to a kettle cover buffer positioning structure. Background Art
[0002] Please refer to Taiwan Patent Announcement No. M510899, No. M520513, and No. I819732, which respectively disclose a "flip-up cup lid" including a lid body seat and a flip-up lid, with a spring component provided at the pivotal joint, and the flip-up lid can be automatically opened relative to the lid body seat under the action of the spring component.
[0003] One of the characteristics of the flip-up cup cover compared to the screw-on cup cover is that it can be operated with one hand, that is, when holding the cup body with one hand, the thumb of the same hand can be used to press down the lock to release the mutual fastening between the cover body seat and the flip-up cover, so that the flip-up cover rotates relative to the cover body seat under the action of the spring component and automatically opens.
[0004] In actual operation, when the spring cover is automatically opened, a spring member with a relatively large elastic force is used to ensure that the spring cover can be opened automatically. However, if the force of the automatic opening is too strong, the user's hand may be hit and discomfort may be caused due to the excessive force of the automatic opening. Therefore, the prior art uses a spring member with a relatively small elastic force. However, after long-term use, the spring member with a relatively small elastic force may gradually reduce its elastic force due to elastic fatigue, thereby making it impossible for the spring cover to be opened.
[0005] In addition, if the angle at which the spring cover is automatically opened is too large, the spring cover will directly open to the adjacent cup body, thus causing a problem of pinching the hand. To avoid pinching the hand, an interference member is used to limit the rotation angle of the spring cover to avoid hitting the user's hand. However, if the opening angle of the spring cover is not sufficient, the spring cover may hit the nose when drinking water. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of the present invention is to disclose a buffer positioning structure for a kettle cover, through which the spring cover will not be fully opened at once when it is automatically opened, thus avoiding hitting the user's hand and causing discomfort.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention discloses a kettle cover buffer positioning structure, which is arranged on a spring-cap kettle, the spring-cap kettle having a first component and a second component, the first component and the second component being pivotally connected together through a pivoting element, wherein the kettle cover buffer positioning structure comprises:
[0008] A pivot tube formed on the first component and having an outer annular surface and an inner through hole;
[0009] two pivot plates, the two pivot plates are formed on the second component, and a receiving space is defined between the two pivot plates. When the pivot tube is placed in the receiving space, the pivot element passes through the inner through hole and the two pivot plates, so that the first component and the second component are pivotally connected together;
[0010] a hanging plate, the hanging plate being disposed on the second component and adjacent to the accommodating space, the hanging plate having a flange protruding toward the accommodating space; and
[0011] A positioning block is arranged on the outer annular surface and opposite to the flange. The positioning block has a buffer edge, at least one groove and a clamping edge. The at least one groove is located between the buffer edge and the clamping edge. When the spring-cap kettle automatically opens the lid, the flange will be squeezed through the buffer edge. The at least one groove is for the flange to be clamped and fixed, and the clamping edge is for the flange to pass over and clamp and fix the flange.
[0012] In the above-mentioned kettle cover buffer positioning structure, the first component is the cover seat, and the second component is the spring cover.
[0013] In the above-mentioned kettle cover buffer positioning structure, the first component is the spring cover, and the second component is the cover seat.
[0014] The above-mentioned kettle cover buffer positioning structure, wherein the spring-cover kettle has a drinking straw.
[0015] The above-mentioned kettle cover buffer positioning structure, wherein the spring-cover kettle has a drinking spout.
[0016] In the above-mentioned kettle cover buffer positioning structure, a push lock is arranged at a position of the first component and the second component away from the pivot element, and the push lock is used to combine and lock the first component with the second component.
[0017] In summary, the novel device is provided with the flange, the buffer edge, the groove and the clamping edge. When the spring cover is automatically opened outward relative to the cover body seat, the flange will reduce the speed of automatic opening due to the compression through the buffer edge, and the flange can be clamped and fixed in the groove to present a half-open state, so the spring cover will not hit the user's hand and cause discomfort. When the spring cover needs to be fully opened, the spring cover can be further rotated. Since the flange is arranged on the suspension plate and has a little elasticity, the flange can pass over the clamping edge and be fixed by the clamping edge, so that the spring cover is maintained in a fully open state, which can avoid the problem of hitting the nose when drinking water.

[0027] The detailed description and technical content of the present invention are as follows with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention discloses a kettle cover buffer positioning structure, which is arranged on a spring-cap kettle 10. The spring-cap kettle 10 has a first component 20 and a second component 30. The first component 20 and the second component 30 are pivotally connected together through a pivot element 40. In order to allow the spring-cap kettle 10 to be automatically opened by one hand to be opened in a closed state (such as Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , a return spring 41 may be provided, and the return spring 41 is used to press the first component 20 and the second component 30 respectively. When the spring-top kettle 10 is closed, the return spring 41 is compressed to generate an elastic force, and the spring force can be used to automatically open the spring-top kettle 10. In one embodiment, the return spring 41 is C-shaped, and the two ends of the return spring 41 respectively form a winding end 411, and the two winding ends 411 are respectively extended and fixed to the first component 20, and the middle section of the return spring 41 has a hook portion 412, and the hook portion 412 is wound around and hooked to the second component 30. In addition, the spring-top kettle 10 has a drinking spout 11 for drinking.
[0029] In one embodiment, the first component 20 and the second component 30 are provided with a push lock 50 at a position away from the pivot element 40. The push lock 50 is used to lock the first component 20 and the second component 30 together (eg, Figure 1 As shown), when the push lock 50 is pressed, the push lock 50 is unlocked, and the spring-lid kettle 10 automatically opens the lid due to the elastic force provided by the return spring 41 (as shown). Figure 3 shown).
[0030] See also Figure 2 As shown, the kettle cover buffer positioning structure of the present invention comprises a pivot tube 60, two pivot plates 70, a hanging plate 80 and a positioning block 90. The pivot tube 60 is formed on the first component 20 and is located away from the push lock 50, and the pivot tube 60 has an outer annular surface 61 and an inner through hole 62. The two pivot plates 70 are formed on the second component 30, and there is an accommodating space 71 between the two pivot plates 70.
[0031] In one embodiment, the first component 20 is one of the cover body seat and the elastic cover, and the second component 30 is the other of the cover body seat and the elastic cover. More specifically, if the first component 20 is the cover body seat, the second component 30 is the elastic cover. Figure 2 In another embodiment, if the first component 20 is a spring cover, the second component 30 is a cover body seat.
[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the pivot tube 60 is placed in the accommodating space 71 between the two pivot plates 70, the pivot element 40 passes through the inner through hole 62 and the two pivot plates 70, so that the first component 20 and the second component 30 are pivotally connected together, so that the second component 30 can be opened or closed relative to the first component 20.
[0033] The hanging plate 80 is disposed on the second component 30 and adjacent to the accommodating space 71 between the two pivot plates 70 . The hanging plate 80 has a flange 81 protruding toward the accommodating space 71 .
[0034] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the positioning block 90 is disposed on the outer annular surface 61, and relative to the flange 81 of the suspension plate 80, the positioning block 90 has a buffer edge 91, at least one groove 92 and a clamping edge 93, and the at least one groove 92 is located between the buffer edge 91 and the clamping edge 93. When the spring-lid kettle 10 automatically opens the lid, since the buffer edge 91 is a gradually raised structural form, it has a buffering effect on the flange 81, so the flange 81 squeezes through the buffer edge 91 to reduce the speed of automatic opening. The at least one groove 92 is for the flange 81 to be clamped and fixed, that is, the flange 81 after the speed reduction will be smoothly clamped and fixed in the at least one groove 92 (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown), the angle of the cover after it is automatically opened can be flat (as shown Figure 3 As shown), there will be no problem of hitting the user's hand.
[0035] See also Figure 5 In another embodiment, the number of at least one groove 92A of the positioning block 90A is multiple, and the figure shows two as an example. By controlling the flange 81 to be stuck and fixed in different grooves 92A, the angle of the spring cover after opening can be changed and fixed. The user can select the opening angle in multiple stages to meet different usage requirements.
[0036] Please also refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the clamping edge 93 is for the flange 81 to pass over and clamp the flange 81. That is, the user can manually allow the flange 81 to pass over the clamping edge 93, and the flange 81 will be clamped by the clamping edge 93 (such as Figure 7 As shown), it can reach the fully open state (as shown Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the spring cover can be fixed at the maximum opening angle, so that the user will not hit the nose when drinking water. Moreover, since the spring cover is tilted toward the bottom of the spring cover kettle 10 when it is at the maximum opening angle, when the spring cover kettle 10 is lifted and tilted toward the user to drink water, the user's vision will be blocked to a minimum extent. This is suitable for use environments that require constant attention to vision, such as driving, watching movies, watching TV, etc.
[0037] Please also refer to Figure 8 As shown, in another embodiment, the pop-up lid kettle 10 has a drinking straw 12, and the drinking straw 12 is used for small infants to drink water.
[0038] In summary, the new model has the following characteristics:
[0039] 1. By providing the flange, the buffer edge and the groove, when the spring cover is automatically opened, the flange will reduce the speed of the spring cover automatically opening due to the compression through the buffer edge, so that the flange can be stably and firmly stuck in the groove, so that when the spring cover is automatically opened, it will not hit the user's hand and cause discomfort.
[0040] 2. The outer ring surface also has a locking edge. The user can manually let the flange pass over the locking edge, and the flange will be locked by the locking edge, so that the spring cover can be fixed at the maximum opening angle, and there will be no problem of hitting the nose when drinking water. Moreover, since the spring cover is tilted toward the bottom of the spring cover kettle, when the spring cover kettle is lifted and tilted toward the user and drinking water is performed, the user's vision will be blocked to the minimum extent, meeting the use needs in situations such as driving, watching movies, watching TV, etc.
[0041] 3. The flange has two positions, namely a first position that is snapped into and fixed in the groove and a second position that is snapped into the snap edge. The user can freely choose the opening angle to meet different usage requirements.
[0042] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, technicians familiar with the field can make various corresponding changes and deformations based on the present invention, but these corresponding changes and deformations should all fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
