Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water-boiling containers, and particularly relates to a folding exhaust integrated component and its container. Background Technique
[0002] Outdoor camping is a very pleasant amateur activity. Therefore, people will carry tea sets and invite three or five friends to taste tea and chat outdoors. Usually, there is no power supply outdoors, so people need to build a fire to boil water. There are special designs for outdoor kettles. The appearance shapes of these kettles are relatively common styles, and their appearance shapes cannot be changed. The spout body extends obliquely from one side of the kettle body. However, usually, a lot of items are carried during camping. The way the spout body extends outward actually takes up a lot of space and is not convenient for the storage of items. Before this, our company proposed technical solutions with application numbers 2024211014153, 2024214074404, and 2024217224225, etc., to achieve a folding spout to realize storage and reduce the occupied space;
[0003] However, there are also some deficiencies in the above solutions. The main problem is that there are too many parts and the structure is complex, which is not convenient for assembly. Therefore, a new spout folding scheme is proposed.
[0004] In addition, the design of the exhaust hole position of the hanging-kettle type kettle is more particular. First of all, the position of the exhaust hole cannot be set in the opposite direction of the spout, because when pouring water, the position of the exhaust hole will face the arm, and the steam sprayed out is easy to scald the arm. Secondly, the exhaust hole cannot be set on the kettle lid. Due to the hanging handle design, it is easy to scald the fingers when pouring water. In addition, considering aesthetics, the exhaust hole will not be set on both sides of the kettle body either. So, the exhaust hole can only be set at the position on the same side as the spout, usually at the upper end of the kettle body; but such a design, when the kettle is filled with more water and the kettle body is in an inclined state when pouring water, the water in the kettle body will cover the exhaust hole, resulting in unsmooth water discharge. If it is just-boiled water, when pouring water, the air pressure in the kettle body will increase, and water will also be sprayed out at the exhaust hole, which is easy to cause injury to others. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a folding exhaust integrated component and its container to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A folding exhaust integrated component, including a fixing member, the fixing member is provided with an opening for the spout to move, the spout is rotatably connected to the fixing member, a sealing structure and a limiting structure are arranged between the spout and the fixing member, the sealing structure is used to form a waterproof effect between the two, the limiting structure is used to limit the movement range of the spout relative to the fixing member, the spout can enter the inner cavity of the kettle body and can be used for exhausting gas.
[0008] The beneficial effects of the present utility model:
[0009] By using the inner cavity of the kettle body as a storage space, there is no need to set a storage groove outside the kettle body, etc., which greatly changes the structure of the kettle body. Only an opening needs to be opened on the kettle body, which simplifies the structure of the kettle body;
[0010] During the boiling process, the generated water vapor will not or very little escape from the kettle lid and the kettle body. At the same time, there is no exhaust hole set on the kettle lid. Therefore, the generated water vapor will accumulate in the upper part of the kettle body during the boiling process. At this time, the spout has the function of exhausting gas.
[0011] A further technical solution, the spout is in a shape similar to a triangle, and its end is rotatably connected to the fixing member. Both sides of the spout away from the fixing member are inclined planes, and one of the inclined planes forms an inlet end, and an outlet facing outward is formed between the two inclined planes.
[0012] A further technical solution, the included angle formed by the connection lines from the endpoints of the two inclined planes to the center is 30° - 45°.
[0013] A further technical solution, when tilted, the lowest point of the spout outlet is lower than the highest point of the inlet end, which can be used for gas-liquid exchange.
[0014] Through the special design of the spout, when the kettle body is tilted during normal pouring, the lowest point of the spout outlet is lower than the highest point of the inlet end. When the liquid reaches the lowest point of the spout, the liquid will flow out. At the same time, it can ensure that the liquid will not completely cover the inlet end, and the rest of the outlet part can keep unobstructed with the inlet end part to form an air passage, ensuring smooth pouring.
[0015] A further technical solution, the limiting structure includes a limiting block provided at the upper end of the fixing member, and the limiting block can abut against the inclined plane of the inlet end.
[0016] A further technical solution, an arc-shaped step extending from one inclined plane to the other inclined plane is provided on the side wall of the inner cavity of the spout close to the fixing member. The arc-shaped step has the same rotation angle as the spout. The end of the limiting block is provided with an arc surface adapted to the arc-shaped step and can abut against it.
[0017] A further technical solution, a spout tip is provided at the end of the inclined plane of the spout away from the inlet end. When stored, the spout tip protrudes from the opening of the fixing member.
[0018] Further technical solution: The sealing structure includes a card slot provided along the circumference direction of the opening on the fixing member. A waterproof silica gel is embedded in the card slot, and the waterproof silica gel abuts against the side wall of the spout.
[0019] Further technical solution: The card slot is a "U"-shaped groove, and the waterproof silica gel is adapted to it.
[0020] Further technical solution: A notch is provided at the upper end of the fixing member. The notch communicates with the card slot, and a fixing block is detachably installed at the notch.
[0021] A container includes a body and a lid used in cooperation. The above-mentioned folding exhaust integrated component is fixedly arranged at a position on the side wall of the body close to the mouth of the kettle. An insulating structure is provided in the lid, and a lifting handle is fixedly arranged above it. The maximum distance between the lifting handle and the end face of the lid is 25 mm - 40 mm.
[0022] Advantages of the present utility model:
[0023] It can realize the discharge of water vapor without setting an exhaust hole on the lid. Moreover, by providing an insulating structure on the lid, even if the finger is close to the lid, it will not feel hot. By changing the exhaust method and cooperating with the insulating structure provided on the lid, the distance between the lifting handle and the end face of the lid can be shortened as much as possible.
[0024] Other features and advantages of the present utility model will be described in detail in the subsequent specific implementation part. Description of the drawings

Detailed implementation manner
[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-6 ;
[0034] The folding and exhaust integrated component described in the present invention is applied to containers such as water storage kettles and boiling kettles, aiming to simplify the folding structure and make the assembly more convenient; specifically, it includes a fixing member 11, and the fixing member 11 is provided with an opening for the spout 12 to move. The spout 12 is rotatably connected to the fixing member 11. The fixing member 11 in this embodiment can be an external component or specifically refer to the kettle body, which is not limited herein; when the fixing member 11 is an external component, the whole can be assembled as a module and then connected to the kettle body after completion; the corresponding technical effects can also be achieved, but attention needs to be paid to the sealing problem; a sealing structure and a limiting structure are provided between the two. The sealing structure is used to form a waterproof effect between the two, and the limiting structure is used to limit the movement range of the spout 12 relative to the fixing member 11;
[0035] In this embodiment, the specific shape and position of the spout 12 are not limited. When in the storage state, the spout 12 enters the inner cavity of the kettle body, reducing the volume of the spout 12 exposed outside the kettle body to achieve the storage effect. Preferably, when in the storage state, the outer wall of the spout 12 is flush with the plane of the fixing member 11 to make the whole more beautiful. Secondly, by using the inner cavity of the kettle body as the storage space, there is no need to set a storage groove or the like outside the kettle body to greatly change the structure of the kettle body. Only an opening needs to be opened on the kettle body, which simplifies the structure of the kettle body;
[0036] The following lists one application method based on the above structure;
[0037] In this embodiment, the spout 12 is relatively small in size and is installed on the side wall of the kettle body 21 near the kettle mouth. It can be stored and used by rotating. In addition, a maximum water level prompt should be provided in the kettle body 21. The maximum water level should not exceed the position of the water inlet end 121 of the spout 12. When in use, the spout 12 is rotated counterclockwise so that the water outlet 122 of the spout 12 faces outward, and then the liquid can be heated. In order to avoid scalding, the kettle lid 22 is tightly connected to the kettle body 21. The water vapor generated during the boiling process will not or very rarely be discharged from the kettle lid 22 and the kettle body 21. At the same time, no exhaust hole is provided on the kettle lid 22. Therefore, the water vapor generated during the boiling process will accumulate on the upper part of the kettle body. At this time, the spout 12 has an exhaust function.
[0038] In addition, if the kettle body has a heat preservation function, the kettle lid and the kettle body are sealed, and the gas cannot be discharged from between the two, which may affect the normal pouring of water. The utility model adopts a special design for the spout 12, referring to Figure 6 When the kettle body is tilted during normal water pouring, the lowest point D1 of the water outlet 122 of the spout 12 is lower than the highest point D2 of the water inlet 121. Of course, the water outlet 122 is not very small, and at least it can ensure that the water outlet 122 will not be blocked when pouring water. When the liquid reaches the lowest point of the spout 12, the liquid will flow out. At the same time, it can ensure that the liquid will not completely cover the water inlet 121, and the rest of the water outlet 122 can remain unobstructed with the water inlet 121 to form an airway, thereby ensuring smooth pouring.
[0039] Furthermore, the spout 12 is triangular in shape, and its end is rotatably connected to the fixing member 11. In one embodiment, a rotating shaft 111 is provided at the lower end of the fixing member 11 away from the opening, and a sealing structure is provided at the opening, and the end of the spout 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 111, that is, the rotating shaft 111 cannot be observed from the outside of the kettle body and is covered by the sealing structure. When pouring water, the water in the kettle body cannot seep out from the edge of the spout 12 and the fixing member 11. Since the spout 12 needs to rotate relative to the fixing member 11, the end of the spout 12 is set to be relatively rounded, and it conflicts with the sealing structure to achieve sealing.
[0040] In addition, both sides of the spout 12 away from the fixing part 11 are inclined surfaces, one of which forms a water inlet end 121, and an outward-facing water outlet 122 is formed between the two inclined surfaces. Preferably, the side length of the water outlet 122 is approximately equal to the side length of the water inlet end 121, and the water inlet end 121 is a mesh cover structure, which can prevent steam from being ejected when boiling water.
[0041] Furthermore, the angle formed by the line connecting the endpoints of the two inclined surfaces to the center is 30°-45°. This angle can limit the water outlet 122 to be within a reasonable range. At the same time, the inclined surface away from the water inlet end 121 can block the water vapor to avoid direct spraying onto the user and causing burns.
[0042] One embodiment of the limiting structure of the present invention includes a limiting block 131 provided at the upper end of the fixing member 11. When the spout 12 is rotated and extended, the limiting block 131 abuts against the inclined surface of the water inlet end 121, thereby preventing it from sliding out of the fixing frame. In this embodiment, when in the storage state, the other inclined surface can also be similarly configured to prevent the spout 12 from sliding into the inner cavity of the kettle body.
[0043] In addition, there is another limiting method. A limiting protrusion 133 is provided at a position of the arc-shaped step 132 away from the water inlet end 121. When in the storage state, the outer side of the limiting block 131 contacts the limiting protrusion 133, limiting further rotation of the spout 12.
[0044] Furthermore, an arc-shaped step 132 extending from one inclined surface to another is provided on the side wall of the inner cavity of the spout 12 near the fixing member 11. The arc-shaped step 132 has the same rotation angle as the spout 12, that is, the arc-shaped step 132 has the same motion trajectory as the spout 12. The end of the limit block 131 is provided with an arc surface adapted to the arc-shaped step 132 and can conflict with it. It should be noted that the longitudinal length of the opening of the fixing member 11 is greater than the longitudinal length of the spout 12. In order to simplify the assembly method, the rotating connection of the spout 12 is an open bar hole 123. When turning the disc, it is only necessary to align the opening of the bar hole 123 of the spout 12 with the rotating shaft 111 and then insert it. However, floating is inevitable. Therefore, the longitudinal position of the spout 12 is limited by the mutual cooperation of the limit block 131 and the arc-shaped step 132.
[0045] When the kettle is in the storage state, if the outer side of the spout 12 is completely flush with the fixing part 11 or recessed, it is difficult to remove it. Or, when boiling water, the user may forget to open the spout 12. As there is no vent hole, the kettle body will be completely sealed, and the internal pressure will be very high. At this time, when the spout 12 is opened, a large amount of water vapor will be ejected, causing injury to the user. In order to solve the above problems, in the embodiment of the utility model, the inclined end of the spout 12 away from the water inlet end 121 is provided with a kettle tip 124. Figure 5 When the kettle is stored, the tip 124 protrudes from the opening; this makes it easier to turn the spout 12; in addition, when in the stored state, the water outlet 122 is still partially exposed outside the kettle body, which can act as an exhaust and release the pressure inside the kettle.
[0046] One embodiment of the present utility model relates to a sealing structure, specifically including a card slot 141 provided along the circumference direction of the opening on the fixing member 11. A waterproof silica gel 142 is embedded in the card slot 141, and the waterproof silica gel 142 abuts against the side wall of the spout 12. Preferably, the waterproof silica gel 142 abuts against the spout 12 on at least three sides. For example, the card slot 141 is a "U" - shaped groove, and the waterproof silica gel 142 is adapted to it. Specifically, it is the two side edges and the bottom. By always keeping the waterproof silica gel 142 in contact with the outer side wall of the spout 12, water leakage will not occur when pouring water. At the same time, whether in the storage state or the unfolded state, due to the friction between the waterproof silica gel 142 and the spout 12, the spout 12 can be prevented from shaking.
[0047] Based on the further expansion of the above - mentioned sealing structure, a notch 143 is provided at the upper end of the fixing member 11. The notch 143 communicates with the card slot 141, and a fixing block 144 is detachably installed at the notch 143. Such a structure is more convenient for assembly;
[0048] In the initial state, the fixing block 144 is in a separated state from the fixing member 11. At this time, the opening of the card slot 141 is exposed without obstruction. The "U" - shaped waterproof silica gel 142 is embedded therein, and then the fixing block 144 is installed at the notch 143. Preferably, the limiting block 131 and the fixing block 144 are integrally formed.
[0049] Since the fixing block 144 is arranged near the kettle mouth, a buckle can be arranged above the fixing block 144 by using the position of the fixing block 144, which is used for clamping with the fixing structure on the kettle lid 22. There is no need to additionally set relevant structures, reducing the use of parts and making the overall assembly simpler and more convenient.
[0050] The present utility model also discloses a container applying the above - mentioned folding and exhaust integrated component, including a kettle body 21 and a kettle lid 22 for matching use. The above - mentioned folding and exhaust integrated component is fixedly arranged at a position on the side wall of the kettle body 21 near the kettle mouth. A lifting handle 23 is provided on the kettle lid 22, and the maximum distance between the lifting handle 23 and the end face of the kettle lid 22 is 25 mm - 40 mm;
[0051] The electric kettles commonly seen on the market now usually set the handle on one side. The reasons are, in addition to preventing scalding, to save space. Although it saves space, it is not labor - saving. Moreover, the electric kettles with the handle set on one side usually cannot be used with an open flame. Therefore, when moving the kettle outdoors or upstairs and downstairs at home, it is more convenient and labor - saving to use a lifting handle.
[0052] The handles currently set on the kettle generally have two types: fixed and rotatable. The distance between the handle and the kettle lid 22 in both of these two types is generally controlled at 60 mm. The reason is to prevent the kettle lid 22 and the steam from scalding the user's hand. If the handle is fixed, a height of 60 mm is relatively space-consuming for the kettle. The rotatable connection method can fold the handle when it is not needed, thus solving the problem of occupying space. However, the rotatable handle also has disadvantages. The gasket on the handle rotating shaft 111 fails after long-term use, so the handle will shake during the pouring process, which poses a safety hazard.
[0053] Based on the above structure, it is possible to discharge water vapor without setting exhaust holes on the kettle lid 22. Moreover, by setting a heat insulation structure on the kettle lid 22, even if the finger is close to the kettle lid 22, it will not feel hot. By changing the exhaust method and cooperating with the heat insulation structure set on the kettle lid 22, the distance between the handle 23 of the handle and the end face of the kettle lid 22 can be shortened as much as possible. Usually, the distance between the handle 23 of the handle and the end face of the kettle lid 22 is 60 mm, and with the above structure, the distance between the handle 23 of the handle and the end face of the kettle lid 22 can be reduced to 25 mm - 40 mm. Since the kettle lid 22 will not scald, this is not a limited safety distance, but only to provide space for the finger to penetrate.
[0054] Based on the fact that the handle 23 of the handle is fixedly connected, it is possible to achieve stable pouring without shaking, and at the same time, the distance between the handle 23 of the handle and the kettle lid 22 can be shortened, greatly reducing the overall volume of the kettle. When it needs to be carried out, it occupies less space and is convenient for storage and placement.
[0055] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model.
