Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of daily necessities, in particular to a pot cover and a pot using the same. Background Art

[0002] The kettle is one of the essential electrical appliances in daily life. In recent years, electric kettles have been used more and more widely. Compared with water dispensers, they have the advantages of fast boiling speed and high temperature.

[0003] At present, electric kettles without spouts on the market generally achieve their purpose of use by providing a detachable kettle lid. This kind of kettle generally needs to be tightly covered when boiling water in order to work. In order to ensure safety, the kettle lid of current electric kettles is generally provided with a pressure relief valve. However, most kettles currently have only one pressure relief structure, which is a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief method is to manually press the pressure relief valve to achieve pressure relief after the boiling of water and before use. However, a kettle with this structure will not have safety problems under normal circumstances. However, when there is a failure of the electronic control or the thermostat, the kettle may continue to boil water, which may easily cause a substantial increase in the air pressure in the kettle. Since this situation occurs inside the kettle, it is impossible to give the user a signal reminder, and there is a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a pot cover and a pot using the pot cover, which can at least solve one of the above problems.

[0005] According to one aspect of the utility model, a kettle lid is provided, comprising a lid body, a surface cover, an inner cover, a first pressure relief mechanism, a second pressure relief mechanism and a third pressure relief mechanism, the lid body is formed with a protrusion, the inner cover is sleeved on the outer periphery of the protrusion, the surface cover is sleeved on the lid body and an exhaust cavity for gas exhaust is formed between the surface cover and the protrusion, an exhaust hole connected with the exhaust cavity is provided on the surface cover, the first pressure relief mechanism, the second pressure relief mechanism and the third pressure relief mechanism are installed on the inner cover, and the bottom of the inner cover is provided with a first air outlet hole, a second air outlet hole and a third air outlet hole corresponding to the first pressure relief mechanism, the second pressure relief mechanism and the third pressure relief mechanism, respectively.

Finally, the third pressure relief mechanism is an automatic pressure relief mechanism, which is a safety mechanism. When the first pressure relief mechanism fails and the electronic control fails, the kettle continues to boil water, and the air pressure in the kettle continues to increase. When the air pressure increases to a certain value, the third pressure relief mechanism automatically starts, causing the third air outlet to open, thereby dissipating the air pressure in the kettle and avoiding safety accidents.

The inner cover 3 is formed with a first limiting groove 34 which is respectively connected with the first air outlet 31 and the exhaust cavity 10 . The breathable membrane 41 is installed in the first limiting groove 34 .

[0032] The first pressure relief mechanism 4 further includes a pressing block 42 , which is limitedly matched with the first limiting groove 34 and can press the breathable membrane 41 against the bottom of the first limiting groove 34 , and the upper end of the pressing block 42 abuts against the bottom of the protrusion 11 .

[0033] The pot cover 200 further includes a fixing block 7 , which is sleeved on the raised portion 11 and fixedly connected to the inner cover 3 .

[0034] The second pressure relief mechanism 5 includes a pressing block 51, a first movable part 52 and a first spring 53. The pressing block 51 is mounted on the surface cover 2 and is limitedly matched with the fixed block 7. The first movable part 52 can be movably mounted on the fixed block 7. The first spring 53 is mounted on the outer periphery of the first movable part 52 and the two ends are respectively against the first movable part 52 and the inner cover 3. The bottom of the first movable part 52 is provided with a first plug 521 matched with the second air outlet 32. The pressing block 51 can be deformed under the action of external force to drive the first movable part 52 to move.

[0035] The second pressure relief mechanism 5 further includes a limiting kit 54 . The limiting kit 54 is sleeved on the fixing block 7 , and the first movable member 52 is sleeved on the limiting kit 54 .

[0036] The third pressure relief mechanism 6 includes a second movable part 61 and a second spring 62. The inner cover 3 is provided with a second limiting groove 35 which is respectively connected with the third air outlet 33 and the exhaust cavity 10. The second movable part 61 can be movably installed in the second limiting groove 35.

The second sealing ring 9 is mounted on the outer periphery of the raised portion 11 and is limitedly matched with the inner cover 3. The first sealing ring 8 and the second sealing ring 9 are preferably silicone rings.

[0040] Therefore, the utility model provides a kettle cover 200 with a completely new structure. Three pressure relief mechanisms are arranged inside the kettle cover 200. The three pressure relief mechanisms can work in different situations. Compared with the traditional kettle cover 200 with only one pressure relief mechanism, the kettle cover 200 is safer.

[0041] The specific working principle is:

[0042] When boiling water, the air pressure in the kettle increases. Since only the first air outlet 31 is normally open, the hot steam generated will first be automatically and slowly discharged from the breathable membrane 41 of the first pressure relief mechanism 4, so that the air pressure in the kettle will not increase sharply. The first pressure relief mechanism 4 plays a role of slow pressure relief.

[0043] Secondly, before the water is boiled and used, the second pressure relief mechanism 5 can be manually operated, that is, the pressing block 51 is pressed to drive the first movable member 52 to move downward, and the first plug 521 is away from the inner cover 3, so that the second air outlet 32 ​​is opened, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the kettle is quickly discharged, so that the air pressure in the kettle is sharply reduced, and the high air pressure when the kettle is opened is avoided, resulting in water spraying when the lid is opened, causing scalding and other safety accidents. Releasing the pressing block 51 can achieve automatic reset and re-block the second air outlet 32.

[0044] Finally, the third pressure relief mechanism 6 is an automatic pressure relief mechanism, which is a safeguard mechanism. When the first pressure relief mechanism 4 fails and the electric control system of the kettle fails, the kettle continues to boil water, and the air pressure in the kettle continues to increase. When the air pressure increases to a certain value, the third pressure relief mechanism 6 automatically starts, and the air pressure pushes the second movable member 61 to lift up, compressing the second spring 62, so that the third air outlet 33 opens, and then discharges the air pressure in the kettle to avoid safety accidents. After the air pressure is reduced, the second plug 611 automatically resets under the action of the second spring 62 to re-block the third air outlet 33.

[0045] Figures 6-7 A kettle according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown.

[0046] like Figures 6-7As shown, the kettle includes a kettle body 100 and the above-mentioned kettle cover 200. The upper end of the kettle body 100 is provided with a kettle mouth 100a. The kettle cover 200 is limitedly matched with the kettle mouth 100a and is detachable relative to the kettle body 100.

[0047] A limiting cavity is formed between the inner cover 3 of the pot lid 200 and the cover body 1, and the inner wall of the pot mouth 100a is provided with a limiting convex ring. The outer periphery of the inner cover 3 is formed with a groove-type limiting structure which cooperates with the limiting convex ring, and cooperates with the second sealing ring 9 to realize a detachable connection and ensure the sealing after assembly.

[0048] In addition, the kettle of this embodiment may also include an inner pot, a heating element, a base, an electrical socket and other structures, which are existing technologies and will not be explained in detail here.

[0049] The kettle of the utility model uses the kettle cover 200, which is highly safe and convenient to use.

[0050] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
