Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of daily necessities, and particularly relates to a chime kettle. Background Art

[0002] A kettle is a household appliance used to boil water. Kettles are divided into two categories: electric kettles and fire-fired kettles. Most people generally choose electric kettles to boil water because they automatically stop boiling water when the water boils, making boiling water convenient and safe. When using a fire-fired kettle to boil water, you must manually turn off the flame to stop the boiling water after the water boils. Otherwise, the water will continue to boil, causing it to evaporate and even causing safety accidents. Therefore, when operating a fire-fired kettle, you need to pay attention to turning off the flame at all times, which makes boiling water inconvenient. However, fire-fired kettles are cheaper than electric kettles and more durable. In some scenarios where electricity is unavailable (such as power outages or outdoor camping), people can only choose fire-fired kettles to boil water. Therefore, fire-fired kettles are also an indispensable water-boiling tool in people's lives.

[0003] In recent years, in order to remind people to pay attention to turning off the flame when using a fire-heated kettle to prevent safety accidents, people have begun to develop a sounding kettle. A sounder is installed on the spout or lid handle of a traditional fire-heated kettle. When the kettle is boiled, steam will be generated when the water boils and enter the sounder, and the sounder will release the steam to produce a sound reminder. At this time, the user will turn off the flame when he hears the sound reminder from the sounder. In this way, the user will not forget to turn off the flame after the kettle is boiled, making boiling water convenient and safe.

[0004] However, the existing chime kettles still have some shortcomings. Specifically, the existing chime devices are all installed on the spout or the handle of the kettle lid. When the chime device is installed on the spout, since water is poured out from the spout, when the user needs to pour water, the chime device must be pulled out from the spout before the user can pour the water. Moreover, the temperature of the chime device will be very high after the water boils, so the user must wear gloves to pull out the chime device, which is very inconvenient. When the chime device is installed on the handle of the kettle lid, since the handle of the kettle is located just above the handle of the lid, when the user grabs the handle to lift the kettle, the user will easily be scalded by the steam released by the chime device, which makes the operation more inconvenient and affects the normal use of the kettle. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a chime kettle that does not affect the normal use of the kettle.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a sounding kettle, comprising a kettle body with a top opening, a spout arranged on the side wall of the kettle body, a kettle lid covering the opening of the kettle body, a handle arranged on the kettle lid, and a handle arranged on the kettle body. The above-mentioned sounding kettle also includes a sound reminder that can sound after the water is boiled, and the sounder is arranged on the edge of the kettle body.

[0007] In the above solution, a buzzer is provided on the kettle body. When the kettle boils, the buzzer sounds a reminder to the user to turn off the flame. This way, the user will not forget to turn off the flame after the kettle boils, making boiling water convenient and safe. In addition, the buzzer is located on the edge of the kettle body so that it does not block the water flow from the spout. The buzzer can also be located away from the middle of the handle. In this way, when the user grasps the handle, the steam released by the buzzer will not burn the user's hand, thereby not affecting the normal use of the kettle and facilitating operation.

[0008] To achieve the structural function of the above-mentioned chime device, the chime device includes a shell and a chime plate disposed within the shell. A through hole is provided in the kettle body corresponding to the position of the chime device. The shell is disposed at the position of the through hole in the kettle body and covers the through hole. A chime cavity is formed between the shell and the chime plate. The shell and the chime plate each have a chime hole, and the chime holes of the shell and the chime plate are both connected to the chime cavity. One of the chime holes is connected to the interior of the kettle body. During use, when the kettle is boiled, the water in the kettle body generates water vapor during boiling. The water vapor enters the chime cavity through the rapid airflow and forms a vortex in the chime cavity. The vortex then collides with the DC gas to generate sound waves. At this time, the user hears the sound reminder and immediately turns off the kettle.

[0009] Furthermore, the position of the sound hole of the shell is aligned with the position of the sound hole of the sound plate, so that the sound wave reminder generated by the sounder can be louder.

[0010] Furthermore, a support portion is provided on the inner side of the shell corresponding to the position below the sound piece, and the sound piece is against the position above the support portion, which can prevent the sound piece from moving downward and falling out of the shell, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the sound piece.

[0011] To achieve the aforementioned chime structure and function, the chime includes a housing mounted on the kettle body, with a chime cavity formed between the interior of the housing and the kettle body. The housing and the kettle body each have chime holes, both of which are connected to the chime cavity. During use, when the kettle is turned on, the boiling water in the kettle body generates water vapor. This water vapor enters the chime cavity through a rapid airflow, forming a vortex within the chime cavity. This vortex then collides with the direct current gas to generate sound waves. Upon hearing the sound reminder, the user immediately turns off the kettle.

[0012] Furthermore, the position of the sound hole of the shell is aligned with the position of the sound hole of the kettle body, so that the sound wave reminder generated by the sounder will be louder.

[0013] Furthermore, the lid is provided with a lid pad, which has an escape hole corresponding to the handle position, and the handle passes through the escape hole of the lid pad. This solution provides a lid pad on the lid, which covers the upper portion of the lid. When the user opens the lid, their hand will not touch the lid, but only the lid pad, thus preventing burns from the lid and ensuring safe use. By moving the lid pad so that the handle is out of the escape hole, the lid pad can be removed from the lid. The lid pad can then be placed on a tabletop and used as a scalding pad to support items such as kettles, dinner plates, and dinner dishes. It has a variety of uses and is easy to operate.

[0014] Furthermore, the shape of the lid pad matches the shape of the lid, allowing it to fully cover the lid, thereby ensuring that the user's hands do not touch the lid when opening it. The lid pad has a protrusion on its edge, and a stopper extends upward from the upper edge of the lid. The lid pad is positioned inside the stopper, which prevents the lid pad from naturally moving relative to the lid, thereby improving the installation stability of the lid pad. The protrusion of the lid pad extends beyond the stopper, allowing the user to remove the lid pad from the lid by shifting the protrusion, making the removal operation more convenient.

[0015] Furthermore, the handle is a U-shaped structure, and two connecting blocks are arranged opposite to each other on the body of the pot. The two sides of one end of the handle opening are respectively connected to the two connecting blocks through a rotating shaft, so that the handle can be rotated around the rotating shaft to open and fold.

[0016] Furthermore, the connecting block is provided with stop blocks on opposite sides. When the handle is rotated to the open position, the handle is positioned between the two stop blocks. At this point, the two stop blocks prevent the handle from rotating, thereby locking the handle in the open position. When the handle needs to be rotated and folded, the handle can be forcibly pushed, causing the handle sidewalls to forcibly push one of the stop blocks, causing the connecting block to deform inward, thereby releasing the stop block's resistance to the handle and allowing the handle to be rotated and folded. When the handle is rotated to the folded position, the handle is positioned below the stop blocks, causing one of the stop blocks to prevent the handle from rotating upward, thereby locking the handle in the folded position. Further forcible upward pushing of the handle will forcibly push the stop block, causing the connecting block to deform inward, thereby releasing the lock and allowing the handle to be rotated and opened.

[0017] This utility model's beeping kettle sounds a warning to the user to turn off the kettle after boiling water, making boiling water convenient and safe. Furthermore, the beeping device does not block the water flow from the kettle spout and is positioned away from the center of the handle, preventing users from being burned by steam emitted by the beeping device when grasping the handle. This prevents the kettle from being used normally, making operation easy. Furthermore, the lid pad protects users from burns and can be removed to serve as a scalding pad for supporting items such as kettles, plates, and dinner plates, offering a variety of uses.

Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limiting this patent. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a chiming kettle, comprising a kettle body 1 with a top opening 11, a spout 12 provided on the side wall of the kettle body 1, a lid 2 covering the opening 11 of the kettle body 1, a handle 21 provided in the middle of the lid 2, and a handle 3 provided on the kettle body 1. A water outlet is provided on the outside of the kettle body 1 corresponding to the position of the spout 12, and the water outlet is connected to the inner position of the spout 12. When the user needs to pour out the water in the kettle body 1, the kettle body 1 can be tilted so that the water in the kettle body 1 flows out from the water outlet to the spout 12 and then flows out along the inner wall of the spout 12, making pouring water convenient. In addition, the chiming kettle also includes a chime that can emit a sound reminder after the water is boiled, and the chime is provided on the edge of the kettle body 1.

[0032] In the above solution, by providing a buzzer on the kettle body 1, when the water boils, the buzzer will sound to remind the user to turn off the flame, so that the user will not forget to turn off the flame after the water boils, making boiling water convenient and safe. In addition, the buzzer is arranged at the edge of the kettle body 1 so that it does not block the water flow from the spout 12, and the buzzer can be located away from the middle of the handle 3. In this way, when the user grasps the handle, the steam released by the buzzer will not burn the hand, thereby not affecting the normal use of the kettle, and convenient operation.

[0033] In order to achieve the above-mentioned chime structure function, the chime of this embodiment includes a housing 4 and a chime plate 5 disposed in the housing 4. A through hole 13 is opened on the kettle body 1 corresponding to the location of the chime. Among them, this embodiment provides three chime structure solutions:

[0034] The first sounder structure scheme, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the above-mentioned shell body 4 is located outside the kettle body 1, and the lower side wall of the shell body 4 is welded and fixed to the upper side of the through hole 13 of the kettle body 1, so that the shell body 4 covers the through hole 13 of the kettle body 1, and a surrounding plate 51 is provided along the circumferential edge of the sound piece 5. The sound piece 5 is clamped to the inner position of the shell body 4 through its surrounding plate 51, and a sound cavity 40 is formed between the inner upper surface of the shell body 4 and the inner side of the surrounding plate 51. A sound hole 50 is opened in the middle position of the upper surface of the shell body 4, and a sound hole 50 is also opened in the middle position of the sound piece 5. The position of the sound hole 50 of the shell body 4 is aligned with the position of the sound hole 50 of the sound piece 5, and the sound hole 50 of the shell body 4 and the sound hole 50 of the sound piece 5 are both connected with the sound cavity 40, and the sound hole 50 of the sound piece 5 is connected with the through hole 13, so that the sound hole 50 of the sound piece 5 is connected with the inside of the kettle body 1.

[0035] The second sounder structure scheme, such as Figure 4 As shown, this scheme is similar to the first sounder structure scheme, the difference is that the edge of the above-mentioned sound piece 5 does not need to be provided with a surrounding plate 51 structure, and the inner side of the shell 4 is recessed inward corresponding to the position below the sound piece 5 to form a support portion 42, and the sound piece 5 is against the position above the support portion, which can prevent the sound piece 5 from moving downward and falling out of the shell, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the sound piece 5.

[0036] The third sounder structure scheme, such as Figure 5 As shown, this scheme is similar to the first chime structure scheme, the difference being that the shell 4 is inserted into the through hole 13 and placed inside the kettle body 1. A connecting protrusion 41 is provided on the edge of one end of the shell 4, which is extended outward. The connecting protrusion 41 is located on the upper side wall of the kettle body 1 and is fixedly connected to the kettle body 1 to facilitate the connection of the shell 4. The chime piece 5 is snapped into the inside position of the shell 4 through its enclosure 51. A chime cavity 40 is formed between the inside of the shell 4 and the inside of the chime piece 5 and the enclosure 51. This allows the chime hole 50 of the shell 4 to communicate with the inside of the kettle body 1. This scheme places the shell 4 inside the kettle body 1, so that the chime does not protrude from the kettle body 1, making the kettle more compact and more beautiful in appearance. The chime piece 5 is located on the inside of the shell 4, so that the shell 4 can directly block the chime piece 5 from moving downward without the need for a support portion 42, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the chime piece 5.

[0037] The sounding principle of the buzzer of this embodiment is as follows: when the kettle is boiled, the water in the kettle body 1 will produce water vapor during boiling. The water vapor enters the sound cavity 40 through the rapid airflow, and forms a vortex in the sound cavity 40, which then collides with the DC gas to generate sound waves. At this time, the user will immediately turn off the kettle when he hears the sound reminder.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] The structure of the sound kettle of this embodiment is basically similar to that of the first embodiment, except that Figure 6 、 7 As shown, the chime of this embodiment includes a housing 4 disposed on the kettle body 1, a chime cavity 40 is formed between the interior of the housing 4 and the kettle body 1, a chime hole 50 is opened in the middle of the housing 4, and a chime hole 50 is also opened on the kettle body 1. The chime hole 50 of the housing 4 and the chime hole 50 of the kettle body 1 are both connected to the chime cavity 40, and the chime hole 50 of the housing 4 is aligned with the chime hole 50 of the kettle body 1. Among them, this embodiment provides two chime structure solutions:

[0040] The first sounder structure scheme, such as Figure 6 As shown, the housing 4 is located on the upper inner side of the kettle body 1, with one open end of the housing 4 fixedly connected to the inner side of the kettle body 1, thereby forming a chime cavity 40 between the interior of the housing 4 and the inner wall of the kettle body 1. This solution places the housing 4 inside the kettle body 1 so that the housing 4 does not protrude from the kettle body 1, which is equivalent to hiding the chime inside the kettle body 1, making the kettle more compact and more beautiful.

[0041] The second sounder structure scheme, such as Figure 7 As shown, the shell 4 is located outside the kettle body 1, and one open end of the shell 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the kettle body 1, so that a sound cavity 40 is formed between the inside of the shell 4 and the outer wall of the kettle body 1. This solution places the shell 4 outside the kettle body 1, which can facilitate the installation of the shell 4.

[0042] The chime principle of this embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, so a repeated explanation is omitted here. However, compared to the first embodiment, the chime of this embodiment lacks a chime plate (5), resulting in a simpler structure, easier manufacture, and lower cost.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] This embodiment is a further improvement on the structure of the chime kettle in the first or second embodiment. Figure 1 、 2As shown, the lid 2 is provided with a lid pad 6, and the lid pad 6 has an escape hole 60 corresponding to the position of the handle 21, and the handle 21 passes through the escape hole 60 of the lid pad 6. This solution is provided with a lid pad 6 on the lid 2, and the lid pad 6 covers the upper position of the lid 2. In this way, when the user opens the lid 2, the hand will not touch the lid 2, but only touch the lid pad 6, so that the user will not be burned by the lid 2, and the user is safe to use. By moving the lid pad 6 so that the handle 21 is out of the escape hole 60, the lid pad 6 can be detached from the lid 2. At this time, the lid pad 6 can be placed on the table and used as an anti-scalding mat for supporting items such as kettles, dinner plates, and dinner plates. It has various uses and is easy to operate.

[0045] Specifically, the shape of the above-mentioned pot lid pad 6 matches the shape of the pot lid 2 so that the pot lid pad 6 can fully cover the top of the pot lid 2, thereby ensuring that the user's hands will not touch the pot lid 2 when opening the pot lid 2. The edge of the above-mentioned pot lid pad 6 is provided with a protrusion 61, and the upper edge of the pot lid 2 is extended upwardly to provide a stopper 22. The pot lid pad 6 is placed inside the stopper 22. The stopper can prevent the pot lid pad 6 from naturally moving relative to the top of the pot lid 2, thereby improving the installation stability of the pot lid pad 6. The protrusion 61 of the pot lid pad 6 extends out of the stopper 22, so that the user can remove and separate the pot lid pad 6 from the pot lid 2 by shifting the protrusion 61, making the removal operation more convenient. Preferably, the above-mentioned pot lid pad 6 is made of plastic material. The plastic material has good thermal insulation properties, which can better prevent the user from being scalded by the pot lid 2, and has a good anti-slip effect, which can reduce the displacement of the pot lid pad 6 relative to the pot lid 2.

[0046] As an improvement to this embodiment, the handle 3 is U-shaped. Two connecting blocks 7 are disposed on the kettle body 1 in opposing relation. The two sides of the open end of the handle 3 are rotatably connected to the two connecting blocks 7 via a rotating shaft 8, allowing the handle 3 to be opened and folded about the rotating shaft 8. When the handle 3 is opened, the kettle can be lifted by grasping it, making it easier to carry. When the handle 3 is folded, the kettle can be compacted for easier storage.

[0047] like Figure 1 、 8 As shown, the connecting block 7 is provided with stop blocks 71 on opposite sides. When the handle 3 is rotated to the open position, the handle 3 is positioned between the two stop blocks 71. At this time, the two stop blocks 71 prevent the handle 3 from rotating left or right, thereby locking the handle 3 in the open position. When the handle 3 needs to be rotated and folded, the handle 3 can be forcibly pushed to the right, so that the side wall of the handle 3 forcibly pushes the stop block 71 located on the right side, causing the connecting block 7 to deform inward, thereby releasing the block 71 from blocking the handle 3 and releasing the lock on the handle 3, thereby allowing the handle 3 to be rotated and folded.

[0048] like Figure 9As shown, when the handle 3 is rotated to the folded state, the handle 3 is located below the limit block 71 on the right side, so that the limit block 71 prevents the handle 3 from rotating upward, thereby locking the handle 3 in the folded state. When the handle 3 is forcibly pushed to rotate upward again, the limit block 71 can be forced to drive the connecting block 7 to deform inward, thereby releasing the lock, and the handle 3 can be rotated to open.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. A person skilled in the art will be able to make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
