Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettle technology, specifically an electric kettle with an anti-overflow function. Background Technology
[0002] Electric kettles use intelligent steam sensing control, overheat protection, automatic power-off when the water boils, and anti-dry-boil power-off, making them a fast-boiling appliance. The working principle of an electric kettle is that the steam generated when the water boils deforms the bimetallic strip of the steam sensing element. This deformation, through a lever principle, pushes the power switch to cut off the power, completing the boiling process.
[0003] Currently, when using existing electric kettles, some water overflows after boiling. The overflowing water may flow into the base, potentially causing a short circuit, damaging the kettle, or scalding the user, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electric kettle with an anti-overflow function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an electric kettle with anti-overflow function, comprising a kettle body, a handle fixedly connected to the outer side of the kettle body, a kettle lid provided on the top of the kettle body, a spout fixedly connected to the outer side of the kettle body, a water outlet hole provided on the outer side of the kettle body, a kettle lid rotatably connected to the outer side of a rotating cylinder, a rotating plate fixedly connected to one end of the rotating cylinder, a torsion spring sleeved on the outer side of the rotating cylinder, a heat dissipation hole provided on the kettle lid, a limiting groove provided on the side of the rotating plate, a limiting post fixedly connected to one end of the kettle lid, a baffle fixedly connected to one end of the rotating plate, a counterweight fixedly connected to the outer side of the kettle body, a flow guide ring fixedly connected to the outer side of the kettle body, a collection box fixedly connected to the outer side of the kettle body, and a drain hole provided at the bottom of the collection box.
[0006] Preferably, the spout is connected to the interior of the kettle body through a water outlet, and the water outlet corresponds to the position of the baffle.
[0007] Preferably, the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the lid of the pot via a rotating cylinder, and the baffle and counterweight are located on both sides of the rotating plate.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom end of the heat dissipation hole passes through the rotating cylinder and communicates with the interior of the kettle body, and the top end of the heat dissipation hole passes through the kettle lid.
[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the limiting post is slidably connected to the outer side of the limiting groove, and the limiting groove is an arc-shaped groove.
[0010] Preferably, the guide ring has an inclined surface, and the collection box is located below the guide ring.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This invention utilizes the elastic force of a torsion spring to rotate the cylinder and plate, thereby blocking the water outlet with a baffle to prevent water from splashing out when boiling and causing scalding. When the kettle body is tilted, the weight of the counterweight causes the shaft and plate to rotate, disengaging the baffle from the water outlet and allowing water to drain from the spout. This prevents the baffle from obstructing the water outlet and affecting the kettle's use. Furthermore, a guide ring directs water from the outside of the kettle into the collection box, preventing overflow from flowing into the base and causing damage. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: an electric kettle with anti-overflow function, including a kettle body 1, a handle 2 welded and fixed to the outside of the kettle body 1, a heating base at the bottom of the kettle body 1, a lid 3 hinged to the top of the kettle body 1, a spout 4 welded and fixed to the outside of the kettle body 1, a water outlet 5 on the outside of the kettle body 1, the spout 4 communicating with the inside of the kettle body 1 through the water outlet 5, the water outlet 5 corresponding to the position of a baffle 12, a lid 3 rotatably connected to the outside of a rotating cylinder 6, one end of the rotating cylinder 6 welded and fixed to a rotating plate 7, a torsion spring 8 sleeved on the outside of the rotating cylinder 6, a heat dissipation hole 9 on the lid 3, a limiting groove 10 on the side of the rotating plate 7, a limiting post 11 welded and fixed to one end of the lid 3, a baffle 12 welded and fixed to one end of the rotating plate 7, a counterweight 13 welded and fixed to the outside of the kettle body 1, a guide ring 14 welded and fixed to the outside of the kettle body 1, a collection box 15 welded and fixed to the outside of the kettle body 1, and a drain hole 16 at the bottom of the collection box 15.
[0019] The rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected to the kettle lid 3 via the rotating cylinder 6. The rotating plate 7 drives the baffle 12 to rotate, allowing boiling water and steam to be discharged through the heat dissipation hole 9.
[0020] The baffle 12 and counterweight 13 are located on opposite sides of the rotating plate 7. The bottom end of the heat dissipation hole 9 passes through the rotating cylinder 6 and connects to the interior of the kettle body 1. When the kettle body 1 tilts, the kettle body 1 and the lid 3 tilt synchronously. Since the counterweight 13 is located on one side of the rotating plate 7 and its weight is relatively large, the center of gravity shifts, causing the baffle 12 to disengage from the water outlet 5, allowing the hot water inside the kettle body 1 to be discharged from the water outlet 5. When the lid 3 tilts, the counterweight 13 immediately drives the rotating plate 7 and the baffle 12 to rotate. When the lid 3 is placed horizontally, the spring force of the torsion spring 8 causes the baffle 12 to block the water outlet 5, preventing the water inside the kettle body 1 from being difficult to pour out due to the baffle 12 blocking the water outlet 5.
[0021] The heat dissipation hole 9 is set through the top of the lid 3. The outer side of the limiting post 11 is slidably connected to the outer side of the limiting groove 10. The limiting groove 10 is an arc-shaped groove. The guide ring 14 is provided with a slope. The collection box 15 is located below the guide ring 14. The limiting groove 10 and the limiting post 11 effectively limit the rotation angle of the rotating plate 7 and the baffle 12, preventing the baffle 12 from rotating excessively. At the same time, the elasticity of the torsion spring 8 ensures that the baffle 12 blocks the water outlet 5 when the lid 3 is placed horizontally.
[0022] Working principle: When using the kettle body 1, open the lid 3 and add water into the kettle body 1. Then heat the kettle body 1. When the kettle body 1 is placed horizontally, the torsion spring 8 causes the rotating cylinder 6 and the rotating plate 7 to rotate, thereby ensuring that the baffle 12 rotates to the spout 4 and blocks the water outlet 5, preventing the water inside the kettle body 1 from splashing out of the spout 4 after boiling. The hot air inside the kettle body 1 is discharged through the heat dissipation hole 9. When it is necessary to pour out the water inside the kettle body 1, tilt the kettle body 1. As the kettle body 1 tilts the lid 3, the weight of the counterweight 13 drives the rotating cylinder 6 and the rotating plate 7 to rotate, thereby causing the baffle 12 to disengage from the water outlet 5. When the lid 3 is horizontal, the rotating plate 7 and the baffle 12 rotate synchronously to reset. In addition, the guide ring 14 can guide the water on the outside of the kettle body 1 to the collection box 15 for collection, preventing water from flowing into the bottom base and causing a short circuit.
