Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettle technology, specifically an electric kettle with an exhaust device. Background Technology

[0002] An electric kettle is a kettle that uses electricity as its energy source to heat the liquid inside. Electric kettles use intelligent steam sensing temperature control and have functions such as automatic power-off after the water boils and anti-dry-boil power-off. With the needs of life, electric kettles are now developing towards multi-functionality, such as leak-proof, anti-scalding, and water-locking.

[0003] Most electric kettles release air through either the top or the spout during use. This air release helps prevent excessive internal pressure from causing a dangerous situation.

[0004] Top venting usually releases steam through the vent hole, but due to environmental factors, flying insects and dust can enter the kettle through the vent hole, affecting water quality or clogging the vent hole. Venting through the spout can cause scalding when pouring water, making it easy to get burned during use.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an electric kettle with a venting device. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an electric kettle with a venting device, which has the advantages of being able to release steam through the venting component, while avoiding blockages and improving the safety of the kettle, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an electric kettle with an exhaust device, comprising a base and a kettle:

[0008] A kettle is attached to the upper surface of the base, and a lid is provided on the top of the kettle;

[0009] The upper cover has a mounting groove in the middle, and an exhaust assembly is installed inside the mounting groove. An arc-shaped limiting plate is fixedly connected to the opposite side inside the mounting groove. Arc-shaped side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the exhaust assembly. The lower surface of the arc-shaped limiting plate is in contact with the upper surface of the arc-shaped side plate, and the lower surface of the arc-shaped side plate is in contact with the top edge inside the mounting groove. The exhaust assembly includes an exhaust plate and a pressure relief valve.

[0010] Preferably, a spout is installed on the side of the kettle, a hinge block is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the spout, a cover plate is hinged to the hinge block, and the lower surface of the cover plate is magnetically attached to the upper surface of the spout.

[0011] Preferably, bolts are connected to both sides of the exhaust plate, one end of the bolt passes through the arc-shaped side plate, and the arc-shaped limiting plate has a mounting hole, with the end of the bolt passing through the arc-shaped side plate connected to the inside of the mounting hole.

[0012] Preferably, the lower surface of the exhaust plate is in contact with the upper surface of the arc-shaped limiting plate, and the lower surface of the exhaust plate is connected to the top of the pressure relief valve.

[0013] Preferably, the arc-shaped side plate and the arc-shaped limiting plate are the same size, and one set of the arc-shaped limiting plates occupies one-quarter of the top position inside the mounting groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This type of electric kettle with a venting device, when in operation, has a cover plate on the spout that magnetically closes the spout opening. At this time, the steam filling the kettle is released through a pressure relief valve in the venting assembly, and then discharged through the vent plate, thus ensuring the kettle's normal operation. Simultaneously, within the kettle's permissible range, some steam is retained inside to keep the water warm, thus delaying cooling. The venting assembly is detachable; by removing it, venting can also be achieved. The cover plate prevents steam from escaping from the spout and also... To prevent water from escaping during normal pouring, this design effectively ensures that the steam is expelled through the venting assembly, preventing scalding from the spout. Simultaneously, the pressure relief valve allows steam to escape vertically upwards, preventing escaping and ensuring electrical safety. The venting assembly is also detachable, allowing for easy removal or installation as needed, enhancing the device's practicality. Furthermore, the venting assembly effectively prevents dust and insects from entering the kettle. The detachable design also allows for easy cleaning of the venting assembly, ensuring proper venting.

The lower surface of the arc-shaped limiting plate 350 is in contact with the upper surface of the arc-shaped side plate 340, and the lower surface of the arc-shaped side plate 340 is in contact with the top edge inside the mounting groove 310. The exhaust assembly 320 includes an exhaust plate 321 and a pressure relief valve 322.

[0029] When in use, the arc-shaped side plates 340 on both sides of the exhaust assembly 320 are inserted into the slots between the two sets of arc-shaped limiting plates 350. By rotating, the upper surface of the arc-shaped side plate 340 is made to fit with the lower surface of the arc-shaped limiting plate 350. At this time, the lower surface of the exhaust plate 321 is in contact with the upper surface of the arc-shaped limiting plate 350 and the lower surface of the exhaust plate 321. After the exhaust assembly 320 is installed, when the steam inside the kettle 2 reaches a certain amount, it is depressurized through the pressure relief valve 322 and then discharged through the exhaust hole on the exhaust plate 321, thereby achieving the function of depressurizing and venting the inside of the kettle 2.

[0031] When boiling water and venting are required, the lid 420 is magnetically attached to the upper surface of the spout 4, thus sealing the spout 4. The steam generated by the kettle 2 during operation is then discharged through the venting assembly 320. When not in use, the lid 420 can seal the spout 4 to prevent debris from entering the kettle 2. When water needs to be poured, the lid 420 can be flipped to leave the spout 4 open, allowing water to be poured.
