[0039] In one implementation, a transmission assembly installation groove 110 is provided on the side of the bottom shell 10 away from the air outlet hole 122. The transmission assembly 40 is arranged in the transmission assembly installation groove 110 in a liftable manner. A sliding channel is formed between the air outlet hole 122 and the transmission assembly installation groove 110. The driving rod 30 is arranged in the sliding channel.

[0040] By providing a sliding channel between the air outlet hole 122 and the drive component installation groove 110, the drive rod 30 slides within the sliding channel, and the sliding trajectory of the drive rod 30 is set to be a straight line, which facilitates the design of the kettle lid 100 and also enables more accurate control of the exhaust function and the water outlet blocking function of the kettle 200 through the drive rod 30.

[0041] In one implementation, an exhaust channel 120 is formed between the air outlet hole 122 and the exhaust hole 121. The exhaust channel 120 includes a ventilation column 123, and the ventilation column 123 is provided with a ventilation hole penetrating through the upper and lower ends.

[0042] The drive rod 30 includes a sealing cover plate 31 and a pressing head 32 integrally formed. The push plate 34 is disposed between the sealing cover plate 31 and the pressing plate and protrudes upward from the decorative cover 20. The sealing cover plate 31 can cover the ventilation hole of the ventilation column 123 when the drive rod 30 moves in the second direction, and the pressing head 32 applies a force to the drive component 40 when the drive rod 30 moves in the first direction.

[0043] In one implementation, a limiting protrusion 33 is provided on the bottom surface of the drive rod 30 between the sealing cover plate 31 and the pressing head 32. The limiting protrusion 33 is provided with a limiting groove 331 with an opening facing downward. The bottom case 10 is provided with a spring pin 50 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 33, and the spring pin 50 can elastically snap into the limiting groove 331.

[0044] By providing a locking component composed of the limiting groove 331 and the spring pin 50, the locking of the drive rod 30 is realized, which avoids the automatic rebound of the drive rod 30 and affects the user's use, facilitates the user's use and improves safety.

[0045] In one implementation, the drive component 40 includes a transmission block 42 and a pressing rod 421 fixed to the lower part of the transmission block 42. When the transmission block 42 is acted upon by the drive rod 30, the pressing rod 421 moves downward and passes through a preset first relief hole 111 on the bottom case 10 to act on the water outlet switch assembly 220.

[0046] In one implementation, a guiding groove 112 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the bottom case 10. The guiding groove 112 is disposed within the drive component installation groove 110 and is located between the first relief hole 111 and the air outlet hole 122.

The guiding rod 411 is vertically movably inserted into the guiding groove 112.

[0048] The transmission block 42 has a transmission inclined surface 420, and the transmission inclined surface 420 is inclined upward along the direction from the support block 41 to the transmission block 42, so that when the driving rod moves in the first direction, the transmission block 42 is gradually pressed down.

[0049] Thus, in the process that the driving rod 30 moves along the support block 41 to the transmission block 42 and presses down the transmission block 42 along the transmission inclined surface, it provides a limiting and guiding effect on the movement of the transmission block 42 and the pressing rod 421, avoiding the rotation of the transmission block 42, so that the driving rod 30 can normally close the water outlet 2121.

[0050] As a second aspect, the present invention also provides a kettle 200, which includes a kettle body 210, a handle connected to one side of the kettle body 210, and a water outlet switch assembly 220.

[0051] On one side of the top end of the kettle body 210 away from the handle, there is a spout 211. Inside the kettle body 210, there is a water retaining ring 212 that cooperates with the above-mentioned kettle lid 100. The water retaining ring 212 is close to the spout 211 and is provided with a water outlet 2121 communicated with the spout 211.

[0052] The water outlet switch assembly 220 is connected to the kettle body 210 close to the water outlet 2121, and it includes a sealing block 2223 that matches the water outlet 2121. The sealing block 2223 can block the water outlet 2121 under the action of the transmission assembly 40.

[0053] The water outlet 2121 is a normally open water outlet, and the sealing block 2223 is separated from the water outlet when the kettle lid 100 is not covered on the kettle or the pressing rod 421 does not extend out of the bottom shell 10. By setting the water outlet to be normally open and close to the spout 211, it is convenient to drain the water in the kettle body, avoiding problems such as water deterioration and peculiar smell caused by water accumulation in the kettle.

[0054] In one implementation manner, the water outlet switch assembly 220 includes a mounting base 221, a rocker 222, and a return spring 223.

[0055] The mounting seat 221 is fixed to the inner side of the kettle body 210. The seesaw 222 includes an integrally formed pressing end 2222 and a sealing end 2221 and a rotating shaft 2220 disposed transversely therebetween, and the sealing block 2223 is disposed on the sealing end 2221. The seesaw 222 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 221 via the rotating shaft 2220, and the pressing end 2222 is disposed below the pressure rod 421 and moves downward to lift the sealing end 2221 and block the water outlet 2121 when receiving the downward pressure of the pressure rod 421. The reset spring 223 is compressed between the pressing end 2222 and the mounting seat 221, and is used to make the pressing end 2222 rise and reset when the force of the pressure rod 421 on the pressing end 2222 is cancelled, and the sealing end 2221 drives the sealing block 2223 to leave the water outlet 2121 and open the water outlet 2121.

[0056] In one embodiment, the pressing end 2222 is disposed below the water retaining ring 212, and the water retaining ring 212 is provided with a clearance notch 2122 corresponding to the pressure rod 421, so that the pressure rod 421 passes through the clearance notch 2122 to apply pressure to the pressing end 2222. By disposing the water outlet switch assembly 220 below the water retaining ring 212, the water outlet switch assembly 220 is prevented from being exposed through the kettle mouth, thereby improving the aesthetic effect of the kettle 200.

[0057] As a third aspect, the utility model further provides an electric kettle, comprising the kettle 200, the kettle cover 100 disposed on the top of the kettle 200, and a powered base 300 disposed under the kettle 200, wherein the powered base 300 is used to receive electric energy to heat the liquid in the kettle 200. Due to the kettle cover 100 and the kettle 200, the electric kettle necessarily has the advantages of the kettle cover 100 and the kettle 200, which will not be described in detail.
