[0028] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. The exemplary embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be understood that various modifications and changes can be made to the exemplary embodiments without departing from the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0029] Unless otherwise specified or explained, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure shall have the usual meanings understood by persons of ordinary skill in the field to which this disclosure belongs. The use of “first” and “second” etc. in this disclosure is only used as markings and does not limit the quantity, importance or order of its objects. The words “include” or “comprising” mean that the elements appearing before the word include the elements listed after the word and their equivalents, but do not exclude other elements. The terms “connected” and “provided on” etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, “Part A is provided on Part B” and “Part A is provided on Part B” in this disclosure can mean that Part A is directly connected to Part B, or that Part A is provided on Part C, and Part C is provided on Part B.
[0030] Furthermore, in this application, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are used solely to indicate relative positions. For example, for convenience, they are defined based on the actual operating position and state of the kettle, or relative to the schematic placement of components in the accompanying drawings. For example, the kettle lid is considered "upper" and the kettle base is considered "lower." It should be understood that these directional terms are relative and may change accordingly based on the placement of components in the accompanying drawings.
[0031] The kettle may include a kettle cover and a kettle body 4, Figure 3As shown, the kettle lid includes a kettle lid body 1, which is used to snap onto the kettle body 4. The kettle body 4 of the kettle has a accommodating space, and the kettle mouth can be circular, oval, square or other regular or irregular shapes. In the description of the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the circumferential direction of the kettle lid body 1 and the elastic ring 2 refers to the direction around the kettle mouth, and the radial direction refers to the direction from the center of the kettle mouth to the edge. In addition, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that although it is called a "kettle", the technical solution of the present utility model has nothing to do with whether the kettle body 4 is actually used to hold water.
[0032] The present disclosure provides a pot lid structure, comprising: a pot lid body 1 and an elastic ring 2, wherein the elastic ring 2 is provided with an elastic structure, the elastic structure comprising an elastic buckle 21 and an elastic portion 22, at least a portion of the elastic buckle 21 protrudes beyond the outer diameter of the elastic ring 2, and the elastic portion 22 is compressibly arranged in the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 2; the elastic ring 2 is installed in the pot lid body 1, and pot lid holes corresponding to the elastic buckles 21 are provided around the pot lid body 1, so that the elastic buckles 21 can pass through the pot lid body 1 from the inside to the outside.
[0033] Please refer to the attached Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the elastic ring 2, Figure 2 The schematic diagram shows the elastic ring 2 installed in the pot cover body 1. Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing the kettle cover body 1 being installed on the kettle body 4 is shown.
[0034] The elastic portion 22 provides elasticity to the elastic ring 2, allowing it to move within a certain range without plastic deformation. When the lid body 1 is mounted on the kettle body 4, the lid body 1 is pressed downward, squeezing the elastic buckle 21 exposed outside the lid hole, causing it to contract inward, allowing the elastic ring 2 to pass through the mouth of the kettle body 4. When the lid body 1 is lowered to a certain extent, the elastic buckle 21 loses its pressure against the mouth of the kettle, and the elastic force provided by the elastic portion 22 extends outward from the lid body 1, preventing the lid body 1 from easily dislodging from the mouth of the kettle, thereby achieving the purpose of fastening the lid body 1 to the mouth of the kettle.
[0035] The pot lid structure disclosed herein achieves the buckling of the pot lid body 1 and the kettle body 4 by means of an elastic ring 2 installed in the pot lid body 1. The structure is simple, the assembly complexity is low, and it is not prone to malfunction. When the elastic ring 2 is damaged, for example, the elastic buckle 21 is broken, the function of the pot lid can be restored by replacing the elastic ring 2.
[0036] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the elastic portion 22 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the elastic buckle 21. Figure 1As shown, each elastic buckle 21 is provided with a pair of elastic portions 22 on both sides of the circumference thereof, which helps to provide sufficient elasticity for the elastic buckle 21. When the elastic buckle 21 is squeezed and contracts inward, it can fully deform to allow the pot lid body 1 to pass through the pot mouth of the kettle body 4; when the elastic buckle 21 loses its squeeze, it can rebound promptly and fully, so that the pot lid body 1 is locked to the pot mouth of the kettle body 4.
[0037] For example, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the elastic portion 22 may include a filament coiled in a circular shape along the circumference of the elastic ring 2, so that the elastic portion 22 has space for compression and rebound in the circumference of the elastic ring 2, and the outer diameter of the elastic ring 2 is reduced after being compressed, while the shape does not change much, which is conducive to passing through the pot mouth.
[0038] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the elastic structure is integrally formed with the elastic ring 2. For example, the elastic buckle 21 and the elastic portion 22 are both integrally formed with the elastic ring 2. During assembly, the lid body 1 and the kettle body 4 can be fastened together simply by assembling the elastic ring 2 with the lid body 1, without requiring the addition of separate springs, spring buckles, or other structures. This reduces structural and assembly complexity, resulting in lower material and processing costs. For example, the elastic buckle 21, the elastic portion 22, and the elastic ring 2 are integrally formed of a plastic material. For example, the elastic ring 2 and the elastic structure thereon can be formed by injection molding.
[0039] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, at least two sets of elastic structures are provided on the elastic ring 2, and the elastic structures are centrally symmetrically provided on the elastic ring 2. For example, the elastic ring 2 is provided with two sets of elastic structures, and the elastic buckles 21 of the two sets of elastic structures are arranged at an angle of 180 degrees in the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 2. Alternatively, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the elastic ring 2 may be provided with three sets of elastic structures, and the elastic buckles 21 of the three sets of elastic structures are arranged at an angle of 120° to each other in the circumferential direction of the elastic ring 2 .
[0040] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the pot cover body 1 is provided with a baffle 3 facing the inner ring of the elastic ring 2 along the radial direction of the pot cover body 1, for supporting the inner ring of the elastic ring 2. Figure 2 As shown, the baffle 3 can support the elastic ring 2 from the inside, so that the elastic ring 2 has better elasticity and more uniform deformation.
[0041] For example, the baffle 3 can be supported on the outer side of the elastic structure along the circumference of the elastic ring 2, referring to Figure 2As shown, for example, each set of elastic structures includes an elastic buckle 21 and elastic portions 22 symmetrically disposed on either side of the elastic buckle 21. Each set of elastic structures also has a corresponding set of baffles 3 symmetrically disposed on the outsides of the two elastic portions 22. That is, for each set of elastic structures, the angle formed by the two baffles 3 is greater than the angle formed by the two elastic portions 22. For example, the ratio of the angle formed by the two baffles 3 to the angle formed by the two elastic portions 22 is no less than 1.1 and no greater than 1.5.
[0042] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the elastic buckle 21 has a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface, the first inclined surface is directed toward the direction of the pot lid body 1 away from the bottom of the kettle, and the second inclined surface is directed toward the direction of the pot lid body 1 close to the bottom of the kettle; wherein, at least a portion of the first inclined surface and at least a portion of the second inclined surface pass through the pot lid body 1 from the inside to the outside through the pot lid hole; the slope of the first inclined surface is smaller than that of the second inclined surface.
[0043] refer to Figure 3 As shown, when installing the lid body 1 on the kettle body 4, the lid body 1 is pressed down firmly, causing the kettle mouth to act on the second inclined surface at the bottom of the elastic buckle 21. As the elastic buckle 21 is squeezed and contracts inward, it moves along the second inclined surface around the kettle mouth until the elastic ring 2 can pass through the kettle mouth of the kettle body 4. When the elastic buckle 21 loses its pressure on the kettle mouth, it extends outward from the lid body 1 due to the elastic force provided by the elastic portion 22. The first inclined surface at the top of the elastic buckle 21 contacts the bottom of the kettle mouth structure, preventing the lid body 1 from easily detaching from the kettle mouth. Similarly, when removing the lid, the lid body 1 is pulled upward, causing the kettle mouth to act on the first inclined surface of the elastic buckle 21. As the elastic buckle 21 is squeezed and contracts inward, it moves along the first inclined surface around the kettle mouth until the elastic ring 2 can pass through the kettle mouth of the kettle body 4 from bottom to top.
[0044] The present disclosure further provides a kettle, comprising a kettle cover structure and a kettle body 4 ; the kettle cover body 1 is used to buckle onto the kettle body 4 .
[0045] Regarding the lid structure, reference may be made to any of the aforementioned exemplary embodiments and their possible combinations. The kettle disclosed herein incorporates an elastic ring 2 within the lid body 1 to achieve a snap fit between the lid body 1 and the kettle body 4. This provides a simple structure, low assembly complexity, and a low risk of malfunction. If the elastic ring 2 is damaged, such as if the elastic buckle 21 breaks, the lid can be restored to function by replacing the elastic ring 2.
[0046] In particular, the kettle of the present disclosure may be an electric kettle, for example, comprising a heating base and a handle, and the base can be used to heat the liquid in the kettle body 4. The lid structure of the present disclosure can ensure that when the electric kettle boils water, the lid body 1 is firmly fastened to the kettle body 4 and will not be pushed open by the steam continuously generated during the boiling process.
[0047] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the mouth of the kettle body 4 is provided with a mouth flange. Figure 3 As shown, the spout flange extends toward the center of the pot mouth, that is, the inner diameter of the extended end of the spout flange is smaller than the outer diameter of the end of the spout flange connected to the kettle body 4. When the lid body 1 is installed on the kettle body 4, the spout flange acts on the elastic buckle 21, causing the elastic buckle 21 to be squeezed and thus shrink inward; after the elastic buckle 21 passes through the spout flange, the elastic buckle 21 extends toward the outside of the lid body 1 under the elastic force provided by the elastic part 22, and abuts the bottom of the spout flange, preventing the lid body 1 from easily detaching from the pot mouth. Similarly, when removing the lid, the lid body 1 is lifted upward, and the spout flange acts on the elastic buckle 21, causing the elastic buckle 21 to be squeezed and shrink inward until the lid body 1 is separated from the kettle body 4.
[0048] Other embodiments of the present disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art after considering the specification and practicing the utility model disclosed herein. This disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure that follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The description and examples are to be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit of the present disclosure being indicated by the appended claims.
[0049] It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the precise structures described above and shown in the drawings, and that various modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of protection of the present disclosure is limited only by the appended claims.
