Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettles, and in particular to an electric kettle. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of society and the advancement of science and technology, more and more families are using electric kettles to boil water for their needs. Modern electric kettles generally have the following structure: a kettle body and a power supply base. The power supply base has a plug, and couplers are located at the center of the upper surface of the power supply base and the center of the bottom of the kettle body. The kettle body has an open-topped cavity, and a separate cavity at the bottom, isolated from the main cavity. A heating element is located in the separate cavity, flush against the bottom wall of the main cavity. A spout, connected to the main cavity, is located on the upper outer wall of the kettle body. A rotatable top cover, capable of opening or closing the open top of the main cavity, is mounted on the top of the kettle body.

[0003] When you need to add water to the electric kettle, you can apply force to the top cover and flip it up to open the opening at the top of the container. Then, you can pour an appropriate amount of water into the container and close the top cover. Place the electric kettle on the power supply base, which will supply power to the electric kettle. The heating element will then heat the water inside the container, turning it into hot water or boiling.

[0004] While the aforementioned electric kettle can meet users' needs for hot water, the fact that the spout remains connected to the interior of the kettle body, and the lid simply covers the top of the kettle, means that if the kettle is accidentally dropped or tipped over, water inside the interior can easily leak out from the spout or the gap between the lid and the top of the kettle body. This wastes water, and the leaked water can easily soil the floor or table. In severe cases, the leaked water may even flow to the power base, causing an electric shock and posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention provides an electric kettle that effectively prevents water from flowing out when the kettle accidentally falls or tipes over, thus saving water resources and preventing water from flowing into other components used for power supply, thereby improving the safety performance of the electric kettle.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an electric kettle, comprising a kettle body and a sealing lid, wherein the kettle body has an internal cavity, and an opening communicating with the cavity is provided at the upper part of the kettle body, and a spout is provided at the upper front end of the kettle body; the sealing lid is detachably installed on the upper part of the kettle body and can block the opening, the sealing lid is provided with a water outlet channel communicating with the spout, the other end of the water outlet channel communicating with the cavity, and the sealing lid is provided with a sliding control mechanism capable of opening or closing the water outlet channel, the sliding control mechanism comprising a sliding member and a sealing member, the sliding member being slidably installed on the sealing lid, and the sealing member being located at the end of the sliding member near the water outlet channel; wherein, the sliding member can drive the sealing member to move relative to the sealing lid closer to and block the water outlet channel, or the sliding member can drive the sealing member to move relative to the sealing lid further away to and open the water outlet channel.

[0036] Figures 1 to 13 This is a schematic diagram of some embodiments of an electric kettle according to the present invention.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 13 and mainly refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 According to certain embodiments of the present invention, an electric kettle, which will sometimes be referred to simply as an "electric kettle" for ease of explanation, includes a kettle body 100 and a sealed top cover 200. The kettle body 100 has an internal cavity 110 for holding water. The upper part of the kettle body 100 has an opening 120 communicating with the cavity 110, allowing external water to enter the cavity 110 through the opening 120. The upper front end of the kettle body 100 has a spout 130, and the rear outer wall of the kettle body 100 has a handle 101 for holding, allowing the user to lift the kettle body 100 by holding the handle 101.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The sealing cap 200 is detachably installed on the upper part of the kettle body 100 and can block the opening 120. The sealing cap 200 is provided with a water outlet channel 210 communicating with the spout 130, and the other end of the water outlet channel 210 communicating with the receiving cavity 110. In this embodiment, when the sealing cap 200 is installed on the upper part of the kettle body 100, the end of the water outlet channel 210 away from the receiving cavity 110 corresponds exactly to the spout 130, so the spout 130 is connected to the receiving cavity 110 through the water outlet channel 210. The sealing cap 200 is provided with a sliding control mechanism that can open or close the water outlet channel 210. The sliding control mechanism includes a sliding member 310 and a sealing member 320. The sliding member 310 is slidably installed on the sealing cap 200, and the sealing member 320 is located at the end of the sliding member 310 near the water outlet channel 210. In this embodiment, the sealing element 320 is a silicone or rubber component fixedly installed on one end of the sliding element 310 near the water outlet channel 210. The sliding element 310 can move the sealing element 320 relative to the sealing cover 200 to approach and block the water outlet channel 210, or the sliding element 310 can move the sealing element 320 relative to the sealing cover 200 away from and open the water outlet channel 210.

[0039] In this embodiment, an electric kettle has a detachable sealing cover 200 mounted on the upper part of the kettle body 100. The sealing cover 200 can block the opening 120 of the receiving cavity 110 inside the kettle body 100. The sealing cover 200 is provided with a water outlet channel 210 that connects the water outlet 130 and the receiving cavity 110. At the same time, the sealing cover 200 is provided with a sliding control mechanism that can open or close the water outlet channel 210. When the user does not need to pour out the water inside the receiving cavity 110, the user can push the sliding member 310 to move the sealing member 320 relative to the sealing cover 200 and close to and block the water outlet channel 210. The water outlet channel 210 is in the open state, and at this time, the water inside the receiving cavity 110 cannot flow out from the water outlet channel 210. The spout 130 prevents water from flowing out of the electric kettle even if it accidentally falls or tipes over, saving water and preventing water from flowing into other components such as the power base or socket, thus improving the safety of the kettle. When the user needs to empty the water, they only need to apply force to the sliding member 310, causing it to move the sealing member 320 away from the sealing cover 200 and open the water outlet channel 210. The water outlet channel 210 is now connected to the spout 130 and the inside of the receiving cavity 110, allowing the water inside the receiving cavity 110 to flow out through the water outlet channel 210. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0040] To facilitate communication between the water outlet channel 210 and the water outlet 130, in some embodiments of this invention, the sealing cover 200 is provided with a communicating cavity 220 that communicates with the water outlet 130, and the water outlet channel 210 communicates with the communicating cavity 220. When the sealing cover 200 is installed on the upper part of the kettle body 100, the communicating cavity 220 corresponds exactly to the water outlet 130, so the water outlet channel 210 is connected to the water outlet 130 through the aforementioned communicating cavity 220, resulting in a simple structure.

[0041] To facilitate the production of the sealing cover 200, in some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing cover 200 has an upper mounting cavity 201 that is isolated from the receiving cavity 110. The water outlet channel 210 is opened in the bottom wall or side wall of the upper mounting cavity 201. The upper surface or side wall of the sealing cover 200 has a sliding groove 202 that communicates with the upper mounting cavity 201. The sliding member 310 and the sealing member 320 are located inside the upper mounting cavity 201. The sliding member 310 is provided with a toggle block 311. The toggle block 311 is movably installed in the sliding groove 202 and extends to the outside of the sealing cover 200. The toggle block 311 can drive the sliding member 310 to move the sealing member 320 along the sliding groove 202 closer to or away from the water outlet channel 210. By adopting the above structure, it is convenient to manufacture and install the sealing cover 200. At the same time, when the user applies force to the actuating block 311, the actuating block 311 can drive the sliding member 310 to move the sealing member 320 along the sliding groove 202 to approach and block the water outlet channel 210, or the actuating block 311 can drive the sliding member 310 to move the sealing member 320 along the sliding groove 202 away from and open the water outlet channel 210, making the operation simpler and more convenient.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water outlet channel 210 is formed in the bottom wall of the upper mounting cavity 201, the sliding groove 202 is formed in the upper surface of the sealing cover 200, the sliding member 310 is movably installed in the upper mounting cavity 201 in the horizontal direction, and the actuating block 311 can drive the sliding member 310 to move the sealing member 320 in the horizontal direction closer to or away from the water outlet channel 210. By forming the sliding groove 202 in the upper surface of the sealing cover 200, and the actuating block 311 passing through the sliding groove 202 and protruding from the upper surface of the sealing cover 200, it is easier for the user to apply force to the actuating block 311, making the operation more convenient and the structural layout of the sealing cover 200 more reasonable.

[0043] To prevent the sliding control mechanism from accidentally opening or blocking the water passage 210, refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11In some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing cover 200 is provided with a positioning mechanism for positioning the sliding member 310. Specifically, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning member 410 and a first elastic member 420. The positioning member 410 is movably installed inside the upper mounting cavity 201, and the first elastic member 420 is disposed inside the upper mounting cavity 201 and is convexly connected to the positioning member 410. The first elastic member 420 can drive the positioning member 410 to move closer to and squeeze the sliding member 310. By setting a first elastic element 420 and a positioning element 410 inside the upper mounting cavity 201, the first elastic element 420 drives the positioning element 410 to keep pressing the sliding element 310. At this time, a pressing friction force is generated between the positioning element 410 and the sliding element 310. When there is no external force to overcome the pressing friction force between the positioning element 410 and the sliding element 310, the sliding element 310 and the positioning element 410 remain relatively stationary. This prevents the sliding element 310 from driving the sealing element 320 to move relative to the sealing cover 200 to open or block the water outlet channel 210, effectively avoiding the sliding control mechanism from accidentally opening or blocking the water channel 210.

[0044] In order to enable the positioning member 410 to better position the sliding member 310, in some embodiments of this utility model, the positioning member 410 is located above or below the sliding member 310, and the first elastic member 420 can drive the positioning member 410 to fit tightly against the upper or lower surface of the sliding member 310. At least two positioning grooves 312 are provided on the upper or lower surface of the sliding member 310 that contacts the positioning member 410. All the positioning grooves 312 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the moving direction of the sliding member 310. When the sliding member 310 moves relative to the sealing cover 200 closer to or away from the water outlet channel 210, the positioning member 410 can move along the surface of the sliding member 310 and be embedded in the positioning groove 312.

[0045] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 Specifically, the upper surface of the sliding member 310 has two positioning grooves 312 spaced apart. A guide seat 430 is located above the sliding member 310 inside the receiving cavity 110. The guide seat 430 has guide holes 431 arranged in the vertical direction. The positioning member 410 is movably installed in the guide holes 431. The first elastic member 420 is a compression spring sleeved on the outer periphery of the positioning member 410. One end of the compression spring abuts against the guide seat 430, and the other end abuts against the positioning member 410. The compression spring can drive the positioning member 410 to move along the guide holes 431 towards and press against the upper surface of the sliding member 310. When the sliding member 310 moves relative to the sealing cover 200 towards or away from the water outlet channel 210, the positioning member 410 can switch between different positioning grooves 312. Figure 7As shown, when the seal 320 is in the position of blocking the water outlet channel 210, the first elastic member 420 drives the positioning member 410 to embed into the positioning groove 312 away from the water outlet channel 210. At this time, the positioning member 410 can position the sliding member 310, preventing the sliding member 310 from driving the seal 320 to move away from and open the water outlet channel 210; Figure 8 As shown, when the user applies force to the actuating element 311 and moves the sliding element 310 towards the rear end of the sealing cover 200, the sliding element 310 moves the sealing element 320 away and opens the water outlet channel 210. At this time, the first elastic element 420 drives the positioning element 410 to embed into the positioning groove 312 near the water outlet channel 210. The positioning element 410 can position the sliding element 310, keeping the water outlet channel 210 open, making it convenient for the user to pour out the water inside the receiving cavity 110. When the user applies force to the actuating element 311 and moves the sliding element 310 towards the front end of the sealing cover 200, the sliding element 310 moves the sealing element 320 closer and blocks the water outlet channel 210 again. At this time, the first elastic element 420 drives the positioning element 410 to embed into another positioning groove 312 away from the water outlet channel 210, realizing the switching of the positioning element 410 from the front positioning groove 312 to the rear positioning groove 312. By adopting the above structure, the structure of the sealing cover 200 is simplified, the production and processing of the sealing cover 200 are facilitated, the production cost of the sealing cover 200 is reduced, and the structure of the sliding control mechanism to open or block the water outlet channel 210 is made more effective and reliable.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11To prevent the sealing cover 200 from accidentally detaching from the upper part of the receiving cavity 110, in some embodiments of this utility model, the sealing cover 200 is detachably installed on the upper part of the receiving cavity 110. At least one locking structure is provided between the sealing cover 200 and the receiving cavity 110. The locking structure includes a movable locking block 510 and a locking groove 520 that can engage with each other. The locking groove 520 is formed in the upper part of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 110. The movable locking block 510 is movably installed on the sealing cover 200. The movable block 510 can move relative to the sealing cover 200 and extend outside the sealing cover 200, or it can move relative to the sealing cover 200 and retract back into the sealing cover 200. The sealing cover 200 is provided with a second elastic element 530 that is throttledly connected to the movable block 510. A relief groove 230 is provided on the upper part of the sealing cover 200 at a position corresponding to the movable block 510. The movable block 510 has a pressing part 511 that passes through the relief groove 230 and extends to the outside of the sealing cover 200. When the sealing cover 200 is detachably installed on the upper part of the receiving cavity 110, the second elastic element 530 can drive the movable block 510 to move relative to the sealing cover 200, extend outside the sealing cover 200, and fit into the slot 520. By adopting the above structure, when the sealing cover 200 is detachably installed on the upper part of the receiving cavity 110, the second elastic member 530 can drive the movable locking block 510 to engage with the locking groove 520, thereby locking the sealing cover 200 on the upper part of the receiving cavity 110. This allows the sealing cover 200 to effectively seal the opening at the upper part of the receiving cavity 110. When the user needs to remove the sealing cover 200, the user only needs to apply force to the pressing part 511 and cause the pressing part 511 to move the movable locking block 510 relative to the sealing cover 200 and retract it into the interior of the sealing cover 200. At this time, the movable locking block 510 and the locking groove 520 separate from each other, so the user can easily remove the sealing cover 200 from the upper part of the receiving cavity 110. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13In some embodiments of this invention, to prevent backflow of steam from the receiving cavity 110 into the steam pipe of the electric kettle when the kettle body 100 accidentally falls or tilts, a cavity 140 is provided at the lower part of the kettle body 100. The cavity 140 and the receiving cavity 110 are isolated from each other. The kettle body 100 is provided with a first steam pipe 610, which is isolated from the receiving cavity 110. The lower end of the first steam pipe 610 extends into the cavity 140. A temperature sensor or steam sensor is provided inside the cavity 140 at a position corresponding to the lower end of the first steam pipe 610. The upper end of the first steam pipe 610 extends into the upper part of the kettle body 100. A second steam pipe 620 is provided on one side of the rear end of the sealing cover 200. In this embodiment, the second steam pipe 620 is located on the left side of the rear end of the sealing cover 200. It is understood that the second steam pipe 620 can also be located on the right side of the rear end of the sealing cover 200, depending on the actual needs.

[0048] When the sealing cap 200 is detachably installed on the upper part of the kettle body 100 and blocks the opening 120, one end of the second steam pipe 620 is connected to the receiving cavity 110, and the other end of the second steam pipe 620 is connected to the upper end of the first steam pipe 610; the middle part of the second steam pipe 620 has an inclined cavity 621, and a stop block 622 is movably installed in the inclined cavity 621. When the kettle body 100 is placed vertically or when the kettle body 100 falls towards the side of the sealing cap 200 away from the second steam pipe 620, the stop block 622 is located at the bottom of the inclined cavity 621 and the second steam pipe 620 is in a connected state; when the kettle body 100 falls towards the side of the sealing cap 200 where the second steam pipe 620 is located, the stop block 622 moves along the inclined cavity 621 and blocks the second steam pipe 620.

[0049] By adopting the above structure, the second steam pipe 620 is located on the left side of the rear end of the sealing cover 200. When the kettle body 100 falls to the left side of the sealing cover 200, the stop block 622 moves along the inclined cavity 621 and blocks the second steam pipe 620. The second steam pipe 620 is in a disconnected state, so that the water inside the receiving cavity 110 cannot pass through the second steam pipe 620 and flow into the first steam pipe 610. When the kettle body 100 falls to the right side of the sealing cover 200, the stop block 622 is located at the bottom of the inclined cavity 621 and the second steam pipe 620 is in a connected state. However, since the second steam pipe 620 is located on the left side of the sealing cover 200, the air inlet of the second steam pipe 620 is at a high position. The water level inside the receiving cavity 110 is lower than the air inlet of the second steam pipe 620. Therefore, the water inside the receiving cavity 110 cannot pass through the second steam pipe 620 and flow into the first steam pipe 610. When the kettle body 100 is placed vertically, the stop block 622 is located at the bottom of the inclined cavity 621 and the second steam pipe 620 is in a connected state. At this time, the second steam pipe 620 and the first steam pipe 610 are connected to form a steam channel for steam flow. The steam generated inside the receiving cavity 110 can pass through the second steam pipe 620 and the first steam pipe 610 and enter the cavity 140 and be detected by the temperature sensor or steam sensor. The electric kettle can work normally.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
