Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric kettle technology, and in particular relates to an electric kettle that allows for the periodic replacement of the inner pot and the lower lid. Background Technology

[0002] Electric kettles, as a common small household appliance, are widely used in homes, offices, hotels, and other places due to their convenience and efficiency. With the improvement of people's living standards, higher demands are being placed on the safety, reliability, and ease of maintenance of electric kettles.

[0003] Traditional electric kettles typically feature a design where the inner pot is fixedly connected to the kettle body, and the lower lid is integrated with the main lid. Over time, the inner pot can develop scale and corrosion due to water quality and heating factors, affecting heating efficiency and water safety. The seal on the lower lid can also deteriorate due to aging and wear, leading to leaks. However, because the inner pot and lower lid are tightly fixed to the kettle's main structure, replacement is complex, often requiring professional assistance and sometimes even damaging the kettle's overall structure, causing significant inconvenience and increasing operating costs.

[0004] Currently, while some electric kettles on the market offer replaceable parts, most only address simple accessories such as the lid sealing ring. For critical components like the inner pot and the bottom lid, which require frequent replacement, there's a lack of effective periodic replacement solutions. Existing electric kettles are not designed with the replaceability of the inner pot and bottom lid in mind, forcing users to replace the entire kettle when parts age or break, resulting in wasted resources.

[0005] Furthermore, with increasing environmental awareness, society has placed higher demands on the maintainability and sustainability of products. Electric kettles that allow for periodic replacement of the inner pot and the bottom lid can extend the overall lifespan of the kettle, reduce electronic waste, and align with the trend of green and environmentally friendly development.

[0006] To address this issue, we offer an electric kettle that allows for periodic replacement of the inner pot and the bottom lid, thus resolving the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0032] Please see Figure 1-8This utility model relates to an electric kettle that allows for periodic replacement of the inner pot and the lower lid. It includes an outer shell 1, a first connecting assembly 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, an inner pot 3 located at the top of the first connecting assembly 2, a lid 4 movably connected to one side of the top of the outer shell 1 via a hinge, a second connecting assembly 5 threadedly connected to the bottom of the lid 4, and a lower lid 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the second connecting assembly 5. The first connecting assembly 2 includes a sliding post 21 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, an installation opening 22 on the top of the outer shell 1, and a limiting block 23 fixedly connected to the top surface of the inner pot 3. A sleeve 24 is fitted on the surface of the lid 4. A cap 25 is threaded to the top of the sleeve 24. A spring 26 is fitted on the surface of the sleeve 24. The two ends of the spring 26 are fixedly connected to the cap 25 and the outer shell 1, respectively. The top of the limiting block 23 contacts the top of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The second connecting component 5 includes a threaded hole opened at the bottom of the lid 4. A screw 51 is threaded to the inner cavity of the threaded hole. The bottom of the screw 51 is fixedly connected to the lower cover 6. A first sealing ring 52 is fitted on the surface of the lower cover 6. A sealing groove is opened at the top of the lower cover 6 and the bottom of the lid 4. A second sealing ring 53 is fitted in the inner cavity of the sealing groove.

[0033] Specifically: The first connecting component 2 serves as the support and quick-release structure for the inner liner 3. It supports the sleeve 24 upwards through the elastic force of the spring 26. The bottom of the inner liner 3 contacts the cap 25 at the top of the sleeve 24. An annular limiting block 23 is provided on the outer side of the top of the inner liner 3. The upper surface of the limiting block 23 contacts the top of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, and the side fits against the blocking block 27 on the inner wall of the outer shell 1, thus limiting the vertical direction of the inner liner 3. The inner liner 3 can slide vertically in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 through the elastic support of the first connecting component 2 and the cooperation of the limiting block 23. By rotating the inner liner 3, the quick disassembly and assembly of the inner liner 3 can be achieved. The lower cover 6 is connected to the lid 4 by the screw 51 and can be unscrewed and replaced separately to meet the needs of periodic maintenance.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Please see Figure 1-8Based on Embodiment 1, a handle is fixedly connected to one side of the outer shell 1, and a power switch is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the handle. A support ring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, and a heater 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. A power cord is fixedly connected to one end of the heater 8, and the other end of the power cord passes through to the outside of the outer shell 1 and is fixedly connected to a plug. A spout is integrally formed on the top side of one side of the outer shell 1, and a water outlet is opened on the top side of one side of the inner liner 3, with the water outlet corresponding to the spout. A blocking block 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and one side of the blocking block 27 contacts the limiting block 23. Grooves are opened on both sides of the top of the lid 4, and the inner cavity of the groove is provided with anti-slip texture. A limiting groove 28 is opened on the surface of the sliding column 21, and a slider 29 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the limiting groove 28. The other side of the slider 29 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 24. An anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1, and the bottom of the anti-slip pad is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0036] Specifically: the handle on the side of the outer shell 1 and the power switch at the bottom are ergonomically designed for easy gripping and power control, improving operational convenience and safety. The fixed design of the support ring 7 and the heater 8 ensures stable installation of the heating components. The connection structure of the power cord and plug meets electrical safety standards, ensuring reliable operation of the heating function. The corresponding design of the spout and the water outlet of the inner tank 3 ensures smooth water flow when pouring, avoiding splashing and improving the user experience. The cooperation of the blocking block 27 and the limiting block 23 restricts the horizontal displacement of the inner tank 3, enhancing its stability during heating and preventing seal failure due to shaking. The groove and anti-slip texture design on the top of the lid 4 facilitates opening and closing the lid 4, preventing slippage and improving operational safety. The sliding cooperation of the limiting groove 28 and the slider 29 guides the sleeve 24 to move vertically along the sliding column 21, preventing rotation and ensuring smooth and stable disassembly and assembly of the inner tank 3. The anti-slip pad and anti-slip texture design at the bottom of the outer shell 1 increases friction when the electric kettle is placed, preventing accidental slippage and improving safety.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The inner liner 3 is installed in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 through the first connecting component 2. The spring 26 pushes the cap 25 and the sleeve 24 upward, so that the limiting block 23 fits tightly against the top of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. The blocking block 27 restricts the rotation and movement of the inner liner 3, forming a stable support. After the lid 4 is closed by the hinge, the screw 51 of the second connecting component 5 is screwed into the threaded hole of the lid 4. The first sealing ring 52 of the lower cover 6 contacts the opening edge of the inner liner 3, and the second sealing ring 53 fills the sealing groove between the lid 4 and the lower cover 6, forming a double seal to prevent steam leakage when boiling water. The user holds the electric kettle by the handle and presses the power switch. The heater 8 is connected to the power supply through the power cord and starts heating. After the water boils, it is poured out through the water outlet and spout of the inner liner 3. The anti-slip texture on the top of the lid 4 facilitates opening and closing. When replacing the inner pot, rotate the inner pot 3 to align the limiting block 23 with the mounting port 22. Then, under the push of the spring 26, the inner pot 3 can move downwards, making it easy and quick to remove from the inner cavity of the outer shell 1. When installing the new inner pot 3, insert the limiting block 23 on the surface of the inner pot 3 into the inner cavity of the outer shell 1 along the mounting port 22 and rotate the inner pot 3. When the limiting block 23 contacts the blocking block 27, the inner pot 3 will not rotate and the installation is complete. At this time, the inner pot 3 compresses the spring 26, and the limiting block 23 contacts the top of the outer shell 1 and is limited by the blocking block 27. When replacing the lower cover 6, simply unscrew the lower cover 6, remove the old lower cover 6 and the first sealing ring 52 and the second sealing ring 53, and install the new lower cover 6 and the new first sealing ring 52 and the new second sealing ring 53. The sealing performance is restored through double sealing.
