Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kettle products, and in particular to the assembly structure of the upper and lower bodies of a kettle. Background Technology

[0002] Kettles are common tools in people's daily lives. Their structure typically includes a body, a handle, and a spout. The body consists of an upper body and a lower body. As a common type of kettle, the assembly of the gourd-shaped kettle with its thin-walled metal lower body and plastic upper body has always been a challenge in the industry. Currently, the industry standard is to first fix the plastic upper body and the metal lower body together with nuts and bolts, and then insert the inner liner through the bottom opening of the lower body. This requires enlarging the bottom opening of the lower body to ensure that the inner liner can be inserted. However, this assembly method limits the size of the inner liner, affecting its capacity, and increasing the diameter of the bottom opening of the lower body affects its structural strength and support performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a simpler, more rationally designed assembly structure for the upper and lower bodies of a kettle that eliminates the need to install the inner liner from the bottom of the lower body, resulting in better structural strength and support performance.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a kettle body assembly structure, including an upper kettle body and a lower kettle body, the upper kettle body being made of plastic material, and the inner liner being inserted from the upper opening of the lower kettle body; it also includes a connecting ring, which is made of plastic material; the connecting ring is provided with several buckles with slots, the slots opening outwards; the top of the lower kettle body is provided with an inwardly extending flat edge, which is fastened into the slots to assemble and fix the connecting ring to the lower kettle body; a butt joint is provided at the bottom of the upper kettle body, the diameter of the butt joint being smaller than the diameter formed by the flat edge; several buckle bones are provided on the outer wall of the butt joint, the buckles protruding inwards to form buckle positions, and after the butt joint is inserted into the lower kettle body, the buckle positions and buckle bones are engaged by rotation to assemble and fix the upper kettle body and the connecting ring.

[0005] Furthermore, an elastic ring is provided on the outer wall of the connecting ring. The elastic ring extends outward at an angle. After the connecting ring is assembled and fixed with the lower body, the elastic ring presses against the inner wall of the lower body to form an interference fit structure for the lower body.

[0006] Furthermore, a protruding plug is provided at one end of the buckle to make the entire buckle form a flat L-shaped structure. After the upper body of the pot is rotated to the bottom, the plug blocks the buckle of the connecting ring.

[0007] Furthermore, a decorative ring is provided on the lower outer side of the upper body, with the bottom surface of the decorative ring abutting against the flat edge of the lower body, thus covering the assembly and docking part of the upper and lower bodies.

[0008] Furthermore, a ring is provided on the lower outer side of the upper body of the pot, and the decorative ring is fastened to the ring.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic ring and buckle are integral with the main body of the connecting ring and are manufactured using a one-piece molding process.

[0010] Preferably, the lower body of the kettle is made of a metal material, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

[0011] Preferably, there are 3-8 buckles, which are evenly distributed and have the same interval between adjacent buckles; the number of buckle bones is the same as the number of buckles.

[0012] This invention utilizes a connecting ring that mates with the upper body to achieve assembly and fixation with the lower body. This allows the inner liner to be directly inserted into the lower body from above before assembling it with the upper body to form a complete pot. This eliminates the size limitation of the inner liner caused by the bottom opening of the lower body, enabling a larger inner liner to increase capacity. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to enlarge the bottom opening of the lower body to accommodate the inner liner, thus improving the structural strength and support capacity of the lower body. Simultaneously, the entire assembly structure is relatively simple, with fewer parts, making assembly quick and easy. Attached Figure Description
