Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electric kettle, specifically an electric kettle with adjustable water output. Background Technology

[0002] In existing kettles, the water outlet is usually open and the water flows out directly after the user pours it out. Users need to adjust the water flow and generally need to control the pouring angle to avoid excessive water flow. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an electric kettle with adjustable water output. This kettle can effectively preset and adjust the maximum water output, so that users do not need to worry about excessive water flow caused by tilting at too large an angle.

[0004] An electric kettle with adjustable water output includes a kettle body, a water outlet on the front side of the kettle body extending from the outlet and a spout section therefrom; a control knob on the outer periphery of the kettle body; and a flow control structure inside the kettle body for controlling the obstruction of the water outlet. A linkage mechanism extends from the control knob and connects to the kettle body, so that the linkage mechanism is connected to the flow control structure, allowing the control knob to control the flow control structure to obstruct the water outlet through its rotational action.

[0005] Furthermore, the flow control structure includes a mounting cylinder positioned and attached to the outlet side. The mounting cylinder is cylindrical, with a water outlet at one end corresponding to the outlet and a water inlet at its outer periphery. A flow control cylinder is movably and coaxially sleeved around the mounting cylinder. A flow control inlet is provided on the outer periphery of the flow control cylinder corresponding to the water inlet. The end of the flow control cylinder away from the outlet is connected to the linkage mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, the spout section is curved and long-necked, with a water inlet at one end and a water outlet at the other end. One end of the water inlet is inserted into the water outlet, and the mounting sleeve is positioned and fitted onto the spout section.

[0007] Furthermore, two water inlets are provided, and the two water inlets are symmetrically arranged on the mounting cylinder in the radial direction; the outer periphery of the flow control cylinder is provided with two flow control inlets that match the shape and position of the two water inlets.

[0008] Furthermore, the linkage mechanism includes a linkage rod, the control knob is located on the rear side of the kettle body, the axis of the control knob is connected to one end of the linkage rod, and the other end of the linkage rod is connected to the flow control structure.

[0009] Furthermore, an indicator panel for displaying the amount of water to be adjusted is provided on the outer wall of the kettle corresponding to the outer periphery of the control knob.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] With its adjustable water flow setting, the electric kettle allows users to preset the degree of spout obstruction based on the intended water pouring scenario, effectively controlling the target water volume and preventing excessive water spillage caused by accidental tilting. Furthermore, the target water volume can be adjusted again using the control knob to accommodate different water needs arising from varying application scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To make the technical solution, purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following explanation is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model discloses an electric kettle with adjustable water output, comprising a kettle body 1, a water outlet 11 provided on the front side of the kettle body 1, and a spout section 12 extending therefrom; a control knob 2 provided on the outer periphery of the kettle body 1; and a flow control structure 3 provided inside the kettle body 1 for controlling the blocking of the water outlet 11. A linkage mechanism 4 extends from the control knob 2 and is connected to the kettle body 1, so that the linkage mechanism 4 is connected to the flow control structure 3, and the control knob 2 controls the flow control structure 3 to block the water outlet 11 through its rotation.

[0018] Its application principle is as follows:

[0019] Based on the combined configuration of the control knob 2, linkage mechanism 4, and flow control mechanism, the user can control the flow control structure 3 to block the water outlet 11 by rotating the control knob 2. The partially blocked water outlet 11, compared to an open water outlet 11, results in a reduced water flow. If the water outlet 11 is completely open, excessive water flow due to an excessive tilting angle may be unsuitable for the current application scenario. By adjusting different knob angles, the flow control structure 3 can be controlled to block the water outlet 11, reducing the target water flow and meeting the current water usage requirements. This prevents accidental excessive tilting angles that could cause water to overflow during subsequent use.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, the electric kettle with adjustable water output has the following specific structural configuration:

[0021] The flow control structure 3 includes a mounting cylinder 31 positioned and mounted on the side of the outlet 11. The mounting cylinder 31 is cylindrical, with a water outlet 32 ​​at one end corresponding to the outlet 11 and a water inlet 33 on its outer periphery. A flow control cylinder 34 is movably and coaxially sleeved on the outside of the mounting cylinder 31. A flow control inlet 35 is provided on the outer periphery of the flow control cylinder 34 corresponding to the water inlet 33. Specifically, two water inlets 33 are provided, and the two water inlets 33 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting cylinder 31 in the radial direction. Two flow control inlets 35 are provided on the outer periphery of the flow control cylinder 34, which are matched with the shape and position of the two water inlets 33.

[0022] The end of the flow control cylinder 34 furthest from the outlet 11 is connected to the linkage mechanism 4. The linkage mechanism 4 includes a linkage rod 41, and the control knob 2 is located on the rear side of the kettle body 1. The control knob 2 is axially connected to one end of the linkage rod 41, and the other end of the linkage rod 41 is connected to the end of the flow control cylinder 34 furthest from the outlet 11. An indicator dial 13 for displaying the water flow adjustment is provided on the outer wall of the kettle body 1 corresponding to the outer periphery of the control knob 2.

[0023] During application, when the maximum water output is required, the position of the control knob 2 is adjusted so that the flow control inlet 35 and the water guide inlet 33 are aligned. Water in the kettle body 1 can flow completely from the flow control inlet 35 and the water guide inlet 33 to the outlet 11, and then outwards via the spout section 12. In this case, the outlet 11 is considered to be fully open for water flow. When a reduced water output is required, the control knob 2 is rotated, which in turn drives the linkage rod 41 to rotate the flow control cylinder 34 around its axis. The rotating flow control cylinder 34 causes the flow control inlet 35 and the water guide inlet 33 to be misaligned. The opening between the misaligned flow control inlet 35 and the water guide inlet 33 narrows, effectively blocking the outlet 11. Water in the kettle body 1 flows restricted from the flow control inlet 35 and the water guide inlet 33 to the outlet 11, and then outwards via the spout section 12.

[0024] The obstruction ratio of the water outlet 11 (the size of the connection opening between the flow control inlet 35 and the water guide inlet 33) can be indicated on the indicator panel 13, clearly showing the water output status when the control knob is turned, providing clear guidance for users.

[0025] In order to make the electric kettle's manufacturing structure simpler and more stable, in this embodiment, the spout section 12 is curved and long-necked, with a water inlet 121 at one end and a water outlet 122 at the other end. One end of the water inlet 121 is connected to the water outlet 11, and the mounting sleeve 31 is positioned and sleeved on the spout section 12.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, modifications can still be made to the embodiments without departing from the implementation principle of the present utility model, and the corresponding modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
