Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0052] In the related art, a hinged connection component, such as a lid hinged to a kettle body, has a finger press position behind the hinge of the lid. When the lid needs to be opened, the thumb presses the lid open. When the press position contacts the kettle handle, the lid opens to its fullest position.

[0053] In the related art, the lid is opened too quickly and easily falls off when closed, making loud noises and easily damaging the lid and handle, resulting in a poor user experience.
[0054] The following combination Figures 1 to 11 , describing the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0055] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on one hand, a connection assembly is provided, including a first connection member 1, a second connection member 2 and a damping structure.
[0056] Among them, the first connecting member 1 has a first hinge hole 101, and the first hinge hole 101 is provided with a limiting groove 102 and one of the first ribs 301; the second connecting member 2 has a second hinge hole 201; the damping structure includes a damper shell 3, a damper core 4 and a first joint 5, the outer side of the damper shell 3 is provided with a limiting groove 102 and the other of the first rib 301, the first rib 301 is located in the limiting groove 102 and can rotate in the limiting groove 102, the damper core 4 is rotatably arranged in the damper shell 3, and the first joint 5 is fixed in the second hinge hole 201 and is connected to the damper core 4.
[0057] In this embodiment, when the second connecting member 2 rotates in the first direction relative to the first connecting member 1, the first rib 301 does not abut against the limiting groove 102 at the beginning, and the first rib 301 can rotate in the limiting groove 102. The second connecting member 2 drives the first joint 5, the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3 to rotate together. At this time, there is no damping force between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, and the second connecting member 2 can rotate quickly. When the first rib 301 of the damper shell 3 abuts against one side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper shell 3 cannot continue to rotate. The second connecting member 2 drives the first joint 5 and the damper core 4 to continue to rotate, and the damper core 4 rotates inside the damper shell 3. A damping force is generated between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, slowing down the rotation speed of the second connecting member 2. When the second connecting member 2 rotates in the second direction relative to the first connecting member 1, the first rib 301 can initially rotate in the limiting groove 102, and the second connecting member 2 drives the first joint 5, the damper core 4, and the damper shell 3 to rotate together. At this time, there is no damping force between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, and the second connecting member 2 can rotate rapidly. When the first rib 301 of the damper shell 3 abuts against the other side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper shell 3 cannot continue to rotate. The second connecting member 2 drives the first joint 5 and the damper core 4 to continue to rotate, and the damper core 4 rotates inside the damper shell 3. A damping force is generated between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, slowing down the rotation speed of the second connecting member 2. In addition, when the first rib 301 abuts against the limiting groove 102, there is a larger contact area, higher strength, and better stability.
[0058] Specifically, in one embodiment, a plurality of damping cavities are formed between the damper inner core 4 and the damper outer shell 3, and a damping medium is provided in the damping cavities. When the first rib 301 of the damper outer shell 3 abuts against one side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper outer shell 3 cannot continue to rotate, and the second connecting member 2 drives the first joint 5 and the damper inner core 4 to continue to rotate. The damper inner core 4 rotates inside the damper outer shell 3, and the damping medium in the damping cavity generates a damping force, slowing down the rotation speed of the second connecting member 2. When the first rib 301 of the damper outer shell 3 abuts against the other side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper outer shell 3 cannot continue to rotate, and the second connecting member 2 drives the first joint 5 and the damper inner core 4 to continue to rotate. The damper inner core 4 rotates inside the damper outer shell 3, and the damping medium in the damping cavity generates a damping force, slowing down the rotation speed of the second connecting member 2.
[0059] When the connecting assembly is applied to an electric kettle, the first connecting member 1 is the handle of the kettle body, and the second connecting member 2 is the kettle lid. When the lid is opened, the first rib 301 does not initially abut against the limiting groove 102. The first rib 301 can rotate in the limiting groove 102, and the kettle lid drives the first joint 5, the damper core 4, and the damper shell 3 to rotate together. At this time, there is no damping force between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, and the kettle lid can rotate quickly. When the first rib 301 of the damper shell 3 abuts against one side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper shell 3 cannot continue to rotate. The kettle lid drives the first joint 5 and the damper core 4 to continue to rotate. The damper core 4 rotates inside the damper shell 3, and the damping force between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3 slows down the rotation speed of the kettle lid. When closing the lid, the first rib 301 can rotate in the limiting groove 102 at the beginning, and the pot lid drives the first joint 5, the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3 to rotate together. At this time, there is no damping force between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, and the pot lid can rotate quickly. When the first rib 301 of the damper shell 3 abuts against the other side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper shell 3 cannot continue to rotate, and the pot lid drives the first joint 5 and the damper core 4 to continue to rotate, and the damper core 4 rotates inside the damper shell 3. A damping force is generated between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, which slows down the rotation speed of the pot lid.

The second rib 302 is clearance-matched with the damper core 4, and the third rib 401 is in contact with the inner wall of the damper housing 3. The space between the second rib 302 and the third rib 401 forms a damping cavity.
[0062] In this embodiment, two second ribs 302 are provided at intervals on the inner wall of the damper housing 3, and two third ribs 401 are provided at intervals on the outer side of the damper core 4. The second ribs 302 are clearance-matched with the damper core 4, and the third ribs 401 are in contact with the inner wall of the damper housing 3. When the first rib 301 of the damper housing 3 does not abut against the side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper core 4 can drive the damper housing 3 to rotate together through the third rib 401 when it rotates. After the first rib 301 of the damper housing 3 abuts against the side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper core 4 rotates inside the damper housing 3, and the damping medium in one damping cavity can flow to the adjacent damping cavity through the gap between the second rib 302 and the damper core 4, thereby generating a damping force.
[0063] Specifically in one embodiment, Figure 9 As shown, a total of four damping chambers are formed, namely the first chamber 9, the second chamber 10, the third chamber 11 and the fourth chamber 14. When the lid is opened, the first rib 301 does not initially abut against the limiting groove 102, and the first rib 301 can rotate in the limiting groove 102. The lid drives the first joint 5, the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3 to rotate together. At this time, there is no damping force between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, and the lid can rotate quickly. When the first rib 301 of the damper shell 3 abuts against one side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper shell 3 cannot continue to rotate. The lid drives the first joint 5 and the damper core 4 to continue to rotate. The damper core 4 rotates clockwise inside the damper shell 3, and the damping medium flows from the first chamber 9 to the second chamber 10 and from the third chamber 11 to the fourth chamber 14. The damping medium in the damping chamber generates a damping force, which slows down the rotation speed of the lid. When closing the lid, the first rib 301 can rotate in the limiting groove 102 at the beginning, and the pot lid drives the first joint 5, the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3 to rotate together. At this time, there is no damping force between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, and the pot lid can rotate quickly.

[0098] In one embodiment, the device having the connecting assembly is an electric kettle, the first connecting member 1 is a handle of the kettle body, and the second connecting member 2 is a kettle lid.
[0099] In this embodiment, when the lid is opened, the first rib 301 does not abut against the limiting groove 102 at the beginning, and the first rib 301 can rotate in the limiting groove 102. The pot lid drives the first joint 5, the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3 to rotate together. At this time, there is no damping force between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, and the pot lid can rotate quickly. When the first rib 301 of the damper shell 3 abuts against one side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper shell 3 cannot continue to rotate. The pot lid drives the first joint 5 and the damper core 4 to continue to rotate, and the damper core 4 rotates inside the damper shell 3. A damping force is generated between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, which slows down the rotation speed of the pot lid. When closing the lid, the first rib 301 can rotate in the limiting groove 102 at the beginning, and the pot lid drives the first joint 5, the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3 to rotate together. At this time, there is no damping force between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, and the pot lid can rotate quickly. When the first rib 301 of the damper shell 3 abuts against the other side wall of the limiting groove 102, the damper shell 3 cannot continue to rotate, and the pot lid drives the first joint 5 and the damper core 4 to continue to rotate, and the damper core 4 rotates inside the damper shell 3. A damping force is generated between the damper core 4 and the damper shell 3, which slows down the rotation speed of the pot lid.
