[0030] Refer to Figures 1 to 3, the spout assembly according to the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model includes a spout ring 110 and a fixing ring 120. The fixing ring 120 is disposed within the spout ring 110 and fits against the inner wall of the spout ring 110. The fixing ring 120 has a downwardly extending annular inner retaining wall 121. Among them, the spout ring 110 restricts the position of the fixing ring 120 through a positioning structure to prevent the fixing ring 120 from moving up and down relative to the spout ring 110 when the spout assembly is pressed down. The fixing ring 120 and the spout ring 110 enclose a sealant filling groove 130 for installing the outer peripheral wall of the kettle body 200 through the annular inner retaining wall 121.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , for the spout assembly provided by the present utility model, the up and down position of the fixing ring 120 is fixed by the spout ring 110 through the positioning structure, and the sealant filling groove 130 is formed by enclosing the fixing ring 120 and the spout ring 110 through the annular inner retaining wall 121. Thus, during the process of assembling the kettle, the outer peripheral wall of the kettle mouth of the kettle body 200 can be inserted into the sealant filling groove 130, and then sealant is filled in the sealant filling groove 130 to form a sealant layer 300. The sealant layer 300 can simultaneously seal the gaps between the fixing ring 120 and the kettle body 200, between the fixing ring 120 and the spout ring 110, and between the spout and the kettle body 200, thereby ensuring good sealing between the spout assembly and the kettle body 200. At the same time, components such as the sealing washer, the first elastic sealing ring, and the second elastic sealing ring of the spout assembly in the prior art are omitted, making the overall structure of the spout assembly provided by the present utility model more concise and reducing the production cost.

[0032] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning structure includes at least three positioning portions 111 provided on the inner wall of the spout ring 110. All the positioning portions 111 are annularly distributed. The positioning portions 111 are located above the fixing ring 120 and abut against the fixing ring 120. Thus, the positioning structure can effectively restrict the position of the fixing ring 120.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the positioning portion 111 is provided with a positioning groove 1111 with a downward opening. The fixing ring 120 has an upwardly extending positioning ring 122. The positioning ring 122 is embedded in the positioning groove 1111, and the positioning ring 122 fits against the inner wall of the spout ring 110 to improve the sealing performance between the fixing ring 120 and the spout ring 110. Through the cooperation between the positioning ring 122 and the positioning groove 1111, the positioning ring 122 can be kept in contact with the inner wall of the spout ring 110.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1 andFigure 3 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, at least a part of the positioning portion 111 extends up and down along the inner wall contour of the spout ring 110. Thus, the positioning portion 111 can play a role in improving the strength of the spout ring 110.

[0035] It can be imagined that in some other embodiments, the above-mentioned positioning structure can also adopt other setting methods. For example, all the above-mentioned positioning portions 111 can be replaced with an annular portion, and an annular slot is opened on the lower end surface of the annular portion for the positioning ring 122 to be embedded.

[0036] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the fixing ring 120 has an annular mounting wall extending downward, and the annular mounting wall fits against the inner wall of the spout ring 110, and the annular mounting wall is located inside the sealant filling groove 130. With the above setting, the inner wall area of the seal cavity filling groove is increased, so that the contact area between the sealant between the spout assembly and the pot body 200 is larger, and the connection strength and sealing performance among the spout ring 110, the fixing ring 120 and the pot body 200 are improved.

[0037] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, an avoidance surface 1231 is provided on the outer peripheral wall at the lower end of the annular mounting wall 123, and the avoidance surface 1231 and the inner wall of the spout ring 110 enclose a groove 131 for filling glue. Thus, when filling the sealant into the sealant filling groove 130, the groove 131 is also filled with the sealant, so that the shape of the sealant between the spout assembly and the pot body 200 is more tortuous and the contact area is larger, further improving the connection strength and sealing performance among the spout ring 110, the fixing ring 120 and the pot body 200.

[0038] Refer to Figure 3 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, a clamping structure is provided between the annular mounting wall and the spout ring 110 to fix the fixing ring 120 to the spout ring 110. Through the setting of the clamping structure and the positioning structure, it can be ensured that the connection strength between the fixing ring 120 and the spout ring 110 is sufficient, and the situation of vertical displacement between the spout ring 110 and the fixing ring 120 when the spout ring 110 is subjected to downward pressure or upward pulling force is reduced.

[0039] Refer to Figure 3, according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the clamping structure includes at least two convex buttons 1232 and at least two buckle grooves 112. The convex buttons 1232 are disposed on the outer periphery of the annular mounting wall 123, and the buckle grooves 112 are disposed on the inner wall of the spout ring 110. All the convex buttons 1232 are respectively clamped in all the buckle grooves 112. Wherein, at least one of the spout ring 110 and the annular mounting wall 123 has elasticity, so that the fixing ring 120 can be smoothly inserted into the spout ring 110, and the convex buttons 1232 can be snapped into the corresponding buckle grooves 112.

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , according to some embodiments of the present utility model, the left end of the spout ring 110 is provided with a spout portion 113, and the other end is provided with a steam pipe avoidance hole 114.

[0041] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a kettle according to the second aspect embodiment of the present utility model includes the above-mentioned spout assembly and a kettle body 200 made of glass material. The outer peripheral wall of the kettle mouth of the kettle body 200 is inserted into the sealant filling groove 130. Wherein, a sealant is filled in the sealant filling groove 130 to form a sealant layer 300.

[0042] During the assembly process of the kettle provided by the present utility model, the outer peripheral wall of the kettle mouth of the kettle body 200 can be inserted into the sealant filling groove 130 of the spout assembly, and then a sealant is filled in the sealant filling groove 130 to form a sealant layer 300. The sealant layer 300 can simultaneously block the gaps between the fixing ring 120 and the kettle body 200, between the fixing ring 120 and the spout ring 110, and between the spout and the kettle body 200, thereby ensuring good sealing between the spout assembly and the kettle body 200. At the same time, components such as the sealing gasket, the first elastic sealing ring, and the second elastic sealing ring of the spout assembly in the prior art are omitted, making the overall structure of the spout assembly provided by the present utility model more concise and reducing the production cost.

[0043] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5, in some embodiments, the kettle further includes a base 700, a lid 500, a handle 600, and a steam switch 410. The lid 500 can be installed inside the upper end of the spout ring 110. The kettle body 200 is installed on the base 700. A heating element 800 is provided inside the base 700. The steam switch 410 is provided inside the base 700. The steam switch 410 can control the power on and off of the heating element 800. One end of the handle 600 is connected to the base 700, and the other end is connected to the spout ring 110. Among them, a steam pipe 420 is arranged inside the handle 600. One end of the steam pipe 420 is butted against the steam switch 410, and the other end passes through the steam pipe avoidance hole 114 of the spout ring 110. Thus, when the kettle needs to boil water, first press the steam switch 410 to make the heating element 800 work electrically. After the water in the kettle body 200 boils, the hot steam in the kettle body 200 can enter the steam switch 410 through the steam pipe 420, triggering the steam switch 410 to automatically pop up to cut off the power supply of the heating element 800.

[0044] In other embodiments, the kettle can also adopt other setting methods to achieve automatic control. For example, the above-mentioned steam switch 410 can be replaced with a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is inserted into the kettle body 200, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the circuit board. Thus, the circuit board can control whether the heating element 800 works according to the signal of the temperature sensor. At this time, the above-mentioned steam pipe 420 does not need to be provided.

[0045] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.

[0046] The above has described this embodiment in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
