DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and technologies are provided for illustration rather than limitation to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid obstructing the description of the present application with unnecessary details.

[0024] It will be understood that when used in this specification and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of described features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or collections.

[0025] To simplify the drawings, only the parts relevant to the present invention are schematically shown in each figure. They do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, to simplify the drawings and facilitate understanding, in some figures, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically depicted or labeled. As used herein, "one" not only means "only one" but also "more than one."

[0026] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in this specification and the appended claims refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0027] In the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, and rear) used to explain the structure and movement of various components of the present invention are not absolute but relative. These descriptions are applicable when the components are in the positions shown in the accompanying drawings. If the descriptions of the positions of these components are changed, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0028] In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the specific implementation methods of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, there is provided an automatic opening and closing structure for the water outlet of an electric kettle lid (hereinafter referred to as the "automatic opening and closing structure"), comprising a mounting portion 11 located between a lid body 10 and a water outlet spout 40, wherein the water outlet spout 40 and the lid body 10 are assembled as one piece. In this example, a top cover 50 is disposed above the lid body 10. The top cover 50 is not an invention point in the present invention and will not be described in detail here. The automatic opening and closing structure comprises a counterweight cavity 13 above the water outlet 12 in the mounting portion 11 for the counterweight member 30 to fit into, and ears 14 symmetrically located on both sides of the counterweight cavity 13, each ear having an ear hole 141. In this example, the counterweight 30 is formed of a heavier material (not limited to metal, stone, etc.), and the shape of the counterweight 30 is not limited to rollers or balls. The counterweight cavity 13 has a horizontal bottom. When the counterweight 30 is arranged in the counterweight cavity 13, it will slide down due to the tilt (when pouring water); in this embodiment, the automatic opening and closing structure includes a rotating cover assembly 20, and the rotating cover assembly 20 includes a hinged cover 21, a rotating shaft 22 and a return torsion spring 23, wherein: the hinged cover 21 has a cover portion 211 and a swinging portion 212 extending downward near the rear edge of the cover portion, and a horizontally penetrating shaft hole 213 for the rotation shaft 22 is provided on the swinging portion 212 near the cover portion 211. The return torsion spring 23 is sleeved on the rotation shaft 22 and abuts against one side of the swinging portion 212. After installation, the return torsion spring 23 uses torque to keep the cover portion 211 in a closed state on the water outlet 40. The two ends of the rotating shaft 22 extending through the shaft hole 213 are respectively arranged in the ear holes 141 of the ear, so that the hinged cover 21 can be movably arranged on the cover body 10. The counterweight 30 arranged in the counterweight cavity 13 naturally rolls to a low position through the tilting action of pouring water and pushes the swinging part 212 placed (blocked) at the mouth of the counterweight cavity 13 to tilt up, which is conducive to water discharge. In this example, the rotating cover assembly 20 is movably arranged on the cover body 10 and is combined with the water outlet 40 arranged on the cover body to realize the opening and closing function. The water outlet 40 includes a mouth 41 and a lip 42. The mouth 41 is connected to the water outlet 12. The lip 42 is adapted to the cover part 211 and under the tilting force, the rotating cover assembly 20 is opened. When the cover body is in a horizontal position, it returns to a closed position through the force of the return torsion spring. In this example, the water outlet 40 also includes a clearance space 43 for the swinging part 212 to limit the movement. The clearance space is in front of the mounting part.

[0031] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described or recorded in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0032] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
