[0039] In one embodiment, a weight-reducing groove is provided on a side of the rotating member facing the plug seat, and the notch of the weight-reducing groove is arranged toward the plug seat.

[0040] Specifically, a weight-reducing groove is formed by digging inward at the other end of the rotating member, and a weight-reducing groove and a receiving groove are respectively provided at the opposite ends of the rotating member, that is, a plate-like structure is formed between the two grooves, and the two sides of the plate-like structure are the groove bottom wall of the weight-reducing groove and the groove bottom wall of the receiving groove, respectively. The thickness of the plate-like structure is relatively small. This arrangement can further reduce the weight of the rotating member, and further reduce the overall weight of the kettle plug while meeting the installation requirements of the temperature display module.

In some other embodiments, a clamping interface is provided at the bottom of the accommodating groove, and a buckle is provided at one end of the transmission member, and the buckle is clamped to the clamping interface.

[0043] In one embodiment, the accommodating groove is extended along the circumference of the rotating part, the connection between the groove side wall and the groove bottom wall of the accommodating groove is an arc surface, the weight reduction groove is extended around the connecting protrusion, and the axis of the accommodating groove is colinear with the axis of the weight reduction groove.

[0044] Specifically, the weight-reducing groove is arranged in an annular groove around the connecting protrusion, and the containing groove is arranged as an annular groove. The volume of the annular groove is relatively large, and the groove side wall of the containing groove is connected to the groove bottom wall of the containing groove through an arc surface, or the connection between the groove side wall of the containing groove and the groove bottom wall of the containing groove can be rounded. Compared with the rectangular groove embodiment, the internal space needs to be milled to expand the opening. The arrangement of this embodiment can ensure that the size of the opening remains unchanged, and the size of the containing groove is expanded as much as possible, thereby reducing the weight of the rotating part, and is convenient for machine milling. The axes of the containing groove and the weight-reducing groove are collinear, and the axes of the two grooves are collinear with the axis of the rotating part, so that the stability of the rotating part can be guaranteed to be higher when it rotates. In some other embodiments, the groove side wall of the containing groove is perpendicular to the groove bottom wall.

[0045] In one embodiment, the sealing cover includes a cover plate and a connecting column fixedly connected to the cover plate; one end of the transmission member is connected to the rotating member, and the connecting column extends into the pot stopper seat and is detachably connected to the transmission member; the transmission member rotates with the rotating member to drive the cover plate to open or close the water outlet channel.

[0046] Specifically, a connecting column is provided at one end of the cover plate, and the other end of the connecting column is connected to the transmission member. The connecting column is inserted into the stopper seat. When the transmission member pulls the connecting column closer, the cover plate can press the sealing sleeve against the inlet of the water outlet channel, and the water outlet channel is closed. When the transmission member pushes the connecting column farther away, the cover plate can be away from the inlet of the water outlet channel, and the water outlet channel is opened. The cover plate is wrapped by the sealing sleeve, that is, the side of the cover plate facing the connecting column is also partially covered by the sealing sleeve. This arrangement enables the rotating member to control the opening and closing of the water outlet channel. The connecting column is detachably connected to the cover plate. When the sealing sleeve or the cover plate is damaged, the cover plate can be removed separately for replacement, which is convenient for maintenance. In some other embodiments, the connecting column is fixedly connected to the cover plate.

[0047] In one embodiment, the kettle stopper includes a retaining spring, a retaining ring groove is provided on the connecting column, the retaining ring groove is located on the side away from the cover plate, the connecting column passes through a transmission member and exposes the retaining ring groove, the retaining spring is retained in the retaining ring groove, and the retaining spring abuts against the transmission member.

[0048] Specifically, the snap ring groove is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting column, and the snap ring groove is provided close to the transmission member. After the connecting column passes through the transmission member, the snap ring groove on the peripheral wall is exposed, the snap ring is snapped into the snap ring groove, and the side wall of the snap ring abuts against the transmission member, thereby connecting the connecting column to the transmission member. This arrangement allows the connecting column to be detachably connected to the transmission member, and the snap ring is used for fixing to facilitate disassembly and assembly. In some other embodiments, a threaded hole is provided at the end of the connecting column, and the bolt passes through the transmission member and is screwed into the threaded hole to connect the connecting column to the transmission member.

[0049] In one embodiment, the connecting column and the cover plate are integrally formed.

[0050] Specifically, such a configuration can increase the connection stability between the connecting column and the cover plate, improve the structural strength of both, and save costs. In some other embodiments, the connecting column is welded to the cover plate.

[0051] In one embodiment, two connecting columns spaced apart from each other are disposed on the cover plate.

[0052] Specifically, two connecting columns are provided on the cover plate, the connecting columns are provided on the same side of the cover plate, and the two connecting columns are spaced apart. Such a setting can increase the connection stability between the cover plate and the transmission member, so that the transmission member can control the movement of the connecting columns with higher reliability. At the same time, the two connecting columns share the external force received, which can increase the service life of the sealing cover. In some other embodiments, a connecting column is provided on the cover plate, and a reinforcing rib is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting column, and the two ends of the reinforcing rib are respectively connected to the connecting column and the cover plate.

[0053] In one embodiment, the sealing cover further comprises a sealing sleeve, which is sleeved on the cover plate and used for sealing the gap between the cover plate and the water outlet channel.

[0054] Specifically, the sealing sleeve can be completely wrapped around the cover plate. When the cover plate is placed on the water outlet channel, the sealing sleeve can completely close the gap, thereby improving the sealing performance of the cover plate on the water outlet channel and making the sealing of the water outlet channel more reliable.

[0055] In one embodiment, the kettle stopper further comprises a heat-insulating sleeve, which is arranged on the outer periphery of the rotating part, and the outer peripheral wall of the heat-insulating sleeve is provided with anti-slip patterns.

[0056] Specifically, a heat-insulating sleeve is provided on the outside of the rotating part. The heat-insulating sleeve is made of plastic. The shape of the heat-insulating sleeve is adapted to the shape of the rotating part. Anti-skid patterns are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the heat-insulating sleeve. In this embodiment, the anti-skid patterns are multiple vertical patterns. The multiple vertical patterns are evenly spaced along the outer periphery of the rotating part. With this arrangement, when the user uses it, the water temperature is too high and the heat will be transferred to the rotating part. The thermal conductivity of the heat-insulating sleeve is poor. When the user holds the rotating part, the heat-insulating sleeve can prevent the heat from being transferred to the user's hand. The anti-skid patterns can increase the friction between the rotating part and the hand when the user holds it, so it is not easy to slip, thereby improving the user experience. In some other embodiments, anti-skid patterns are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating part.

[0057] In one embodiment, the heat insulation sleeve is injection molded on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating component.

[0058] Specifically, the heat insulation sleeve is directly injection molded on the outside of the rotating part, which can increase the installation stability of the heat insulation sleeve, so that the heat insulation sleeve can fit the rotating part more closely, and the heat insulation sleeve and the rotating part are not easy to rotate relative to each other during use. In some other embodiments, the heat insulation sleeve is bonded to the rotating part.

[0059] The utility model also provides a kettle, which includes a kettle body and a kettle plug. The specific structure of the kettle plug refers to the above embodiment.
