Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hot water equipment technology, and specifically provides a hot water container and its cover assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Existing hot water containers generally consist of a container body and a lid assembly; for example, an electric kettle includes a body and a lid. The lid assembly of existing hot water containers typically comprises multiple components to achieve purposes such as increasing structural strength, reducing costs, facilitating user operation, and providing heat preservation.

[0003] Screws or bolts are typically used to connect and secure the various components of the lid assembly. To ensure the overall aesthetics of the hot water container, the screws or bolts are usually located on the inside of the lid assembly, so that they are concealed within the container after the lid is placed on top. This also leaves the screws or bolts exposed within the internal environment of the hot water container.

[0004] However, because the inside of a hot water container is a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, especially for hot water containers with boiling functions such as electric kettles, exposed screws or bolts are prone to rusting when boiling water, affecting the taste of the water and even causing bacteria to grow. Moreover, exposed screws or bolts also affect the appearance of the lid assembly when the user opens it, impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this invention is to solve the problem that screws or bolts on the lid assembly of existing hot water containers are prone to rust.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a lid assembly for a hot water container, comprising:

[0007] Cover;

[0008] A handle is provided on the outside of the cover and is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the cover;

[0009] A threaded component is installed onto the cover from the inside of the cover;

[0010] A shielding member is mounted to the cover from the inside and is used to shield the threaded member.

[0011] Optionally, the cover is provided with a through hole, and the handle is provided with a threaded hole aligned with the through hole; the threaded member passes through the through hole and is tightened into the threaded hole to fix the handle to the cover; the shielding member is used to shield the through hole.

[0012] Optionally, the through hole includes a countersunk head located on the side of the through hole away from the cover; at least a portion of the shielding member is located within the countersunk head.

[0013] Optionally, the cover is provided with at least two wing holes communicating with the through hole, and the peripheral wall of the wing holes is provided with a clearance structure; the shielding member includes a shielding part and a wing part, and the wing part is provided with a buckle adapted to the clearance structure; the shielding part is embedded in the countersunk head, the wing part is embedded in the wing hole, and the buckle is embedded in the clearance structure and thus engages with the cover.

[0014] Optionally, the cover includes an inner cover and an outer cover, with the outer cover disposed between the inner cover and the handle.

[0015] Optionally, the through hole includes a countersunk hole on the inner cover and a connecting hole on the outer cover; the countersunk hole includes the countersunk head.

[0016] Optionally, a fixing post is provided on the side of the handle facing the outer cover, the threaded hole is formed on the fixing post, and an anti-rotation structure is provided on the outer side of the fixing post; an anti-rotation ring is provided on the side of the outer cover facing the handle, the anti-rotation ring is provided with an anti-rotation groove, and the anti-rotation structure is embedded in the anti-rotation groove; and / or, an abutment ring is provided on the side of the outer cover facing the handle so that the outer cover abuts against the handle through the abutment ring.

[0017] Optionally, the inner cover has a first positioning ring on the side facing the outer cover, and the first positioning ring has a positioning groove; the outer cover has a second positioning ring on the side facing the inner cover, and the second positioning ring has a positioning rib, which is inserted into the positioning groove.

[0018] Optionally, the inner cover includes a collar, and the inner side of the collar is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart first protrusions; the outer cover includes a recessed platform and a stop ring extending outward from the top of the recessed platform, and the outer side of the recessed platform is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart second protrusions; the collar abuts against the stop ring, the first protrusions abut against the second protrusions, and the first protrusions are located between the second protrusions and the stop ring.

[0019] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a hot water container, including the lid assembly described in any one of the first aspects, and / or, the hot water container is an electric water heater.

[0020] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that in the aforementioned technical solution of this utility model, by providing a shielding member on the cover assembly to shield the threaded member, the contact between the threaded member and the external environment is effectively isolated, or the contact area between the threaded member and the external environment is greatly reduced, as well as the airflow at the threaded member is reduced, thereby effectively overcoming the problem of rust on the threaded member.

[0021] Furthermore, by providing a through hole in the cover and a threaded hole aligned with the through hole in the handle, the threaded component can pass through the through hole and be tightened into the threaded hole, thereby fixing the handle to the cover. Then, by using a shielding component to block the through hole, the connection between the threaded component and the interior of the hot water container is prevented.

[0022] Furthermore, by placing at least a portion of the shielding member within the countersunk head of the through hole, the overall appearance of the cover assembly is made more aesthetically pleasing.

[0023] Furthermore, by embedding the shielding part of the shielding component into the countersunk head on the cover, embedding the wing part of the shielding component into the wing hole on the cover, and embedding the buckle into the avoidance structure and thus engaging with the cover, the connection between the shielding component and the cover is achieved without making the shielding component too obtrusive, thus ensuring the overall aesthetics of the cover assembly.

[0024] Furthermore, by embedding the anti-rotation structure of the handle into the anti-rotation groove on the outer cover, relative rotation between the handle and the outer cover is prevented.

[0025] Furthermore, by providing a first positioning ring with a positioning groove on the side of the inner cover facing the outer cover, and providing a second positioning ring with a positioning rib on the side of the outer cover facing the inner cover, and inserting the positioning rib into the positioning groove, the inner cover and the outer cover are fixed in the circumferential direction.

[0026] Furthermore, by setting multiple spaced first locking protrusions on the collar of the inner cover and multiple spaced second locking protrusions on the countersunk platform of the outer cover, the inner cover and the outer cover can be engaged together using the first and second locking protrusions. At the same time, the presence of the positioning groove and positioning rib ensures that the first and second locking protrusions can be aligned with each other and will not misalign.

[0046] The hot water container 001 of this utility model includes a lid assembly 100, and the hot water container 001 of this utility model can be an electric kettle, an electromagnetic kettle, an infrared kettle, a gas kettle, or a container for holding hot water, etc.

[0047] The following reference Figures 1 to 7 The lid assembly 100 of the hot water container 001 in this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the lid assembly 100 of the hot water container 001 includes a lid body 110, a handle 120, a threaded member 130, and a shielding member 140.

[0049] The cover 110 is used to be installed on the container body (not shown in the figure) to cover the container body.

[0050] The handle 120 is located on the outside of the cover 110 and is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the cover 110. The handle 120 is used for the user to hold the cover assembly 100.

[0051] The threaded component 130 is installed onto the cover 110 from the inside.

[0052] The shielding member 140 is installed on the cover 110 from the inside and is used to shield the threaded member 130.

[0053] Those skilled in the art will understand that, in some embodiments of the present invention, by providing a shielding member 140 on the cover assembly 100 to shield the threaded member 130, the contact between the threaded member 130 and the external environment is effectively isolated, or the contact area between the threaded member 130 and the external environment is greatly reduced, and the airflow at the threaded member 130 is reduced, thereby effectively overcoming the problem of rusting of the threaded member 130.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the threaded member 130 may be a bolt or a screw.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cover 110 is provided with a through hole 1101, and the handle 120 is provided with a threaded hole 1201 aligned with the through hole 1101. The threaded member 130 passes through the through hole 1101 and is tightened into the threaded hole 1201 to fix the handle 120 to the cover 110. The shielding member 140 is used to shield the through hole 1101.

[0056] Those skilled in the art will understand that by providing a through hole 1101 on the cover 110 and a threaded hole 1201 aligned with the through hole 1101 on the handle 120, the threaded member 130 can pass through the through hole 1101 and be tightened into the threaded hole 1201, thereby fixing the handle 120 to the cover 110. Furthermore, by using a shielding member 140 to shield the through hole 1101, the communication between the threaded member 130 and the interior of the hot water container 001 is blocked.

[0057] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the through hole 1101 includes a countersunk head 11011, which is located on the side of the through hole 1101 away from the cover body 110. At least a portion of the shielding member 140 is located within the countersunk head 11011.

[0058] Those skilled in the art will understand that by placing at least a portion of the shielding member 140 within the countersunk head 11011 of the through hole 1101, the overall appearance of the cover assembly 100 is made more aesthetically pleasing.

[0059] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cover 110 is provided with at least two wing holes 1102 communicating with the through hole 1101, and the peripheral wall of the wing hole 1102 is provided with a clearance structure 11021.

[0060] Furthermore, the shielding member 140 includes a shielding part 141 and a wing part 142, and the wing part 142 is provided with a buckle 1421 adapted to the avoidance structure 11021.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, the shielding part 141 is embedded in the recessed head 11011, the wing part 142 is embedded in the wing hole 1102, and the buckle 1421 is embedded in the avoidance structure 11021 and thus engages with the cover 110.

[0062] Those skilled in the art will understand that by embedding the shielding portion 141 of the shielding member 140 into the countersunk head 11011 on the cover 110, embedding the wing portion 142 of the shielding member 140 into the wing hole 1102 on the cover 110, and embedding the buckle 1421 into the clearance structure 11021 and thus engaging with the cover 110, the connection between the shielding member 140 and the cover 110 is achieved without making the shielding member 140 too obtrusive, thus ensuring the overall aesthetics of the cover assembly 100.

[0063] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cover 110 includes an inner cover 111 and an outer cover 112, with the outer cover 112 disposed between the inner cover 111 and the handle 120.

[0064] Those skilled in the art will understand that by setting the cover 110 as an inner cover 111 and an outer cover 112, the production and manufacturing of the cover 110 is more convenient than setting the cover 110 as a whole.

[0065] In other embodiments of this utility model, those skilled in the art may, as needed, set the cover 110 as a whole, or omit either the inner cover 111 or the outer cover 112.

[0066] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the through hole 1101 includes a countersunk hole 1111 provided on the inner cover 111 and a connecting hole 1121 provided on the outer cover 112.

[0067] Furthermore, the countersunk hole 1111 includes a countersunk head 11011, that is, the countersunk head 11011 is formed on the inner cover 111 and is part of the countersunk hole 1111.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a fixing post 121 is provided on the side of the handle 120 facing the outer cover 112, a threaded hole 1201 is formed on the fixing post 121, and an anti-rotation structure 122 is provided on the outer side of the fixing post 121.

[0069] Correspondingly, an anti-rotation ring 1122 is provided on the side of the outer cover 112 facing the handle 120, and an anti-rotation groove 11221 is provided on the anti-rotation ring 1122. The anti-rotation structure 122 is embedded in the anti-rotation groove 11221.

[0070] Those skilled in the art will understand that by embedding the anti-rotation structure 122 of the handle 120 into the anti-rotation groove 11221 on the outer cover 112, relative rotation between the handle 120 and the outer cover 112 is prevented.

[0071] Continue reading Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the outer cover 112 abuts against the handle 120 on the side facing the handle 120, so that the outer cover 112 abuts against the handle 120 through the abutting ring.

[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, when the threaded member 130 secures the inner cover 111, the outer cover 112 and the handle 120 together, it brings the handle 120 and the outer cover 112 closer together, and thus causes the abutment ring 1123 on the outer cover 112 to fit against the handle 120.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, a first positioning ring 1112 is provided on the side of the inner cover 111 facing the outer cover 112, and a positioning groove 11121 is provided on the first positioning ring 1112.

[0074] Correspondingly, a second positioning ring 1124 is provided on the side of the outer cover 112 facing the inner cover 111, and a positioning rib 11241 is provided on the second positioning ring 1124, which is inserted into the positioning groove 11121.

[0075] Those skilled in the art will understand that by providing a first positioning ring 1112 with a positioning groove 11121 on the side of the inner cover 111 facing the outer cover 112, and providing a second positioning ring 1124 with a positioning rib 11241 on the side of the outer cover 112 facing the inner cover 111, and inserting the positioning rib 11241 into the positioning groove 11121, the inner cover 111 and the outer cover 112 are fixed in the circumferential direction, preventing relative rotation between the inner cover 111 and the outer cover 112.

[0076] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the inner cover 111 includes a collar 1113, and the inner side of the collar 1113 is provided with a plurality of spaced first latching protrusions 1114.

[0077] Accordingly, the outer cover 112 includes a recessed platform 1125 and a stop ring 1126 extending outward from the top of the recessed platform 1125. A plurality of spaced second latching protrusions 11251 are provided on the outer side of the recessed platform 1125.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown, in the assembled state, the collar 1113 abuts against the stop ring 1126, the first locking protrusion 1114 abuts against the second locking protrusion 11251, and the first locking protrusion 1114 is located between the second locking protrusion 11251 and the stop ring 1126.

[0079] Those skilled in the art will understand that by providing multiple spaced first locking protrusions 1114 on the collar 1113 of the inner cover 111 and multiple spaced second locking protrusions 11251 on the recess 1125 of the outer cover 112, the inner cover 111 and the outer cover 112 can be engaged together by means of the first locking protrusions 1114 and the second locking protrusions 11251. Simultaneously, the presence of the positioning groove 11121 and the positioning rib 11241 ensures that the first locking protrusions 1114 and the second locking protrusions 11251 are aligned with each other and will not misalign.

[0080] like Figure 6 As shown, the presence of the first latching protrusion 1114 and the second latching protrusion 11251 also creates an annular gap (not marked in the figure) between the inner cover 111 and the outer cover 112, which can play a role in noise reduction.

[0081] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first latching protrusion 1114 has a bevel on the side facing the outer cover 112 (not marked in the figure), and the second latching protrusion 11251 also has a bevel on the side facing the inner cover 111 (not marked in the figure), so that the first latching protrusion 1114 and the second latching protrusion 11251 can be relatively missed in the axial direction during the assembly of the inner cover 111 and the outer cover 112, and the first latching protrusion 1114 and the second latching protrusion 11251 abut together by the side away from their respective bevels.

[0082] Those skilled in the art will understand that by setting the first locking protrusion 1114 and the second locking protrusion 11251 in an alternating manner, the collar 1113 and the countersunk 1125 are more easily deformed, ensuring that the first locking protrusion 1114 and the second locking protrusion 11251 miss each other and snap together.

[0083] In summary, the cover assembly 100 of this utility model not only effectively overcomes the problem of rusting of the threaded component 130, but also has a relatively ingenious structure.

[0084] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with several embodiments above. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, those skilled in the art can disassemble and combine the technical solutions in the above embodiments, and can also make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features. Any changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the technical concept and / or technical principles of this utility model will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
