The terminology used herein in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.
[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2This application discloses a steam health appliance designed to prevent accidental lifting. The steam health appliance includes a kettle 1, a base 2, and a locking mechanism 3. In some embodiments, the base 2 supports the bottom of the kettle 1. The locking mechanism 3 includes a locking drive 31 and a locking buckle 32. The locking buckle 32 is movably connected to the base 2, and the locking drive 31 is mounted on the base 2. When the locking drive 31 acts on the locking buckle 32, the locking buckle 32 engages with the kettle 1, locking the kettle 1 to the base 2. Preferably, the locking drive 31 drives the locking buckle 32 to engage with the kettle 1, locking the kettle 1 to the base 2, preventing the kettle 1 from being accidentally lifted when heated, effectively avoiding liquid splashing or high-temperature steam eruption from the kettle 1, thus preventing burns and other accidents, and significantly improving the safety of the steam health appliance.
[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 3 further includes a pin 33, which is mounted on the base 2. The locking buckle 32 is rotatably connected to the pin 33, and when the locking drive member 31 acts on the locking buckle 32, the locking buckle 32 rotates around the pin 33 to engage with the health pot 1. Preferably, the locking drive member 31 drives the locking buckle 32 to rotate around the pin 33, thereby engaging the locking buckle 32 with the health pot 1 and locking the health pot 1 to the base 2. Optionally, the locking buckle 32 includes a rod and a buckle, with the buckle located at the upper end of the rod and the pin 33 pivotally connected to the lower end of the rod. Thus, when the locking drive member 31 acts on the locking buckle 32, the rod drives the buckle to rotate around the pin 33, thereby causing the buckle to engage with the health pot 1, locking the health pot 1 to the base 2 and preventing the health pot 1 from being accidentally lifted when powered on for heating.
[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the health-preserving kettle 1 includes a kettle body 11 and a handle 12. The handle 12 is fixed to the kettle body 11 and has a slot 17 that engages with the locking buckle 32. Preferably, by engaging the handle 12, which is a force-bearing component, with the slot 17, the handle 12 is directly locked to the base 2. This achieves precise locking, preventing the health-preserving kettle 1 from tilting under force, thus achieving precise locking and anti-tilting functions. This reduces the risk of the health-preserving kettle 1 accidentally tipping over or being lifted, significantly improving the safety, stability, and user experience of the health-preserving kettle 1.
[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the locking drive component 31 includes an electromagnet 311, which is mounted on the base 2. The locking buckle 32 is disposed opposite to the electromagnet 311, and when the electromagnet 311 is energized, it can drive the locking buckle 32 to engage with the health pot 1. Preferably, by energizing the electromagnet 311, the electromagnet 311 generates an electromagnetic field, which applies a magnetic force to the locking buckle 32, causing the locking buckle 32 to rotate around the pin 33, thereby achieving the engagement of the locking buckle 32 with the health pot 1. Optionally, the locking buckle 32 can be made of a magnet; alternatively, the locking buckle 32 can be made of a magnetic metal. Further, the electromagnet 311 shares the same steam generator as the steam health appliance. The electromagnet 311 is powered by an independent power source, enabling it to generate an electromagnetic field when energized. Optionally, the electromagnet 311 can be replaced by an electric drive device such as a motor, cylinder, or electric cylinder to drive the locking buckle 32 to rotate around the pin 33. Alternatively, the electromagnet 311 can be replaced by a manual push rod, which is pivotally connected to the locking buckle 32, allowing the user to manually drive the locking buckle 32 to rotate around the pin 33.
[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the locking drive component 31 further includes a drive magnet 312, which is mounted on the locking latch 32. When the electromagnet 311 is energized, the drive magnet 312 drives the locking latch 32 to engage with the health pot 1. Preferably, the electromagnetic field generated when the electromagnet 311 is energized applies a magnetic force to the drive magnet 312, causing the drive magnet 312 to rotate the locking latch 32 around the pin 33, thereby achieving engagement between the locking latch 32 and the health pot 1. Further, the drive magnet 312 can be replaced with a magnetic metal block, which, under the action of the electromagnetic field of the electromagnet 311, drives the locking latch 32 to rotate around the pin 33, thereby achieving engagement between the locking latch 32 and the health pot 1.
[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the locking buckle 32 has an assembly groove 34 on the side opposite to the electromagnet 311, and the magnet is fixed to the assembly groove 34. Preferably, the magnetic field generated by the electromagnet 311 exerts an attractive force on the magnet, causing the driving magnet 312 to drive the locking buckle 32 to rotate around the pin 33, thereby enabling the locking buckle 32 to engage with the health pot 1. In this way, by fixing the magnet to the assembly groove 34 on the side of the locking buckle 32 opposite to the electromagnet 311, the magnet is prevented from detaching from the locking buckle 32 under the attraction of the magnetic field, thereby improving the service life of the components and ensuring that the electromagnet 311 can drive the locking buckle 32.
[0032] In some embodiments, a reset member is also included. The reset member is disposed on the side of the locking buckle 32 away from the electromagnet 311. After the electromagnet 311 is energized, the reset member can drive the locking buckle 32 to separate from the health pot 1. Optionally, the reset component can be a spring, coil spring, or other elastic part. The reset component is fixed to the side of the locking buckle 32 opposite to the electromagnet 311. Thus, when the electromagnet 311 is energized, it generates an electromagnetic field. Under the attraction of the electromagnetic field, the driving magnet 312 drives the locking buckle 32 to rotate around the pin 33, thereby engaging the locking buckle 32 with the health pot 1 to lock the health pot 1 to the base 2. At the same time, it causes the reset component to undergo elastic deformation. When the electromagnet 311 is de-energized, the reset component returns to its original shape and simultaneously drives the locking buckle 32 to rotate in the opposite direction around the pin 33, thereby separating the locking buckle 32 from the health pot 1 so that the health pot 1 can be lifted from the base 2. Optionally, the reset element can be made of a permanent magnet. The reset element is fixed to the side of the base 2 facing the locking buckle 32 and away from the electromagnet 311. When the electromagnet 311 is energized, the force of the electromagnetic field acting on the driving magnet 312 is greater than the force of the magnetic field of the reset element acting on the driving magnet 312. Thus, under the attraction of the electromagnetic field, the driving magnet 312 drives the locking buckle 32 to rotate around the pin 33, thereby locking the locking buckle 32 with the health pot 1 to lock the health pot 1 to the base 2. At the same time, it drives the reset element to undergo elastic deformation. When the electromagnet 311 is de-energized, the driving magnet 312, under the attraction of the magnetic field of the reset element, drives the locking buckle 32 to rotate in the opposite direction around the pin 33, thereby separating the locking buckle 32 from the health pot 1 so that the health pot 1 can be lifted from the base 2. Furthermore, the reset component can also be replaced by a manual push rod, etc. The manual push rod is pivotally connected to the locking buckle 32, and the user can manually drive the locking buckle 32 to rotate in the opposite direction around the pin 33 by manually pushing the manual push rod.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the top wall of the base 2 is recessed downwards to form a recessed portion 21, which engages with the bottom of the health pot 1. Preferably, by providing the recessed portion 21 on the top wall of the base 2, when the health pot 1 is placed in the recessed portion 21, the base 2 is engaged with the health pot 1. This provides a stable placement space for the health pot 1, making it less likely to slide or tip over, thereby increasing stability during use. It also helps to prevent the user from coming into contact with the overheated surface of the base 2 during use, thus reducing the risk of burns.
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the base 2 is provided with a steam generating chamber 22, and the output end of the steam generating chamber 22 is provided with a connector 23; the health pot 1 is connected to a steam pipe 13, the steam pipe 13 is connected to a first one-way valve 14, and the input end of the first one-way valve 14 is provided with a connector 15, which mates with the connector 23. Preferably, the base 2 is provided with a steam generator, the steam generator having the steam generating chamber 22 built inside, the output end of the steam generating chamber 22 communicating with the connector 23, the inner cavity of the health pot 1 communicating with the output end of the steam pipe 13, the input end of the steam pipe 13 communicating with the output end of the first one-way valve 14, and the input end of the first one-way valve 14 extending outward to form the connector 15, which communicates with the input end of the first one-way valve 14. Thus, when the health pot 1 is placed on the base 2 and the connector 15 is activated... After being connected to the plug interface 23, the steam pipe 13, the first one-way valve 14 and the steam generating chamber 22 can form a steam passage, allowing the steam in the steam generating chamber 22 to enter the inner cavity of the health pot 1. After heating is finished, the health pot 1 is lifted off the base 2, and the plug interface 15 is separated from the plug interface 23. At the same time, the one-way conduction characteristic of the first one-way valve 14 is used to prevent the backflow of high-temperature steam in the inner cavity of the health pot 1 and the steam pipe 13, thereby further reducing the risk of users being scalded by high-temperature steam when moving the health pot 1.
[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, a second one-way valve 16 is also included. The output end of the second one-way valve 16 is connected to the health pot 1, and the input end of the second one-way valve 16 is connected to the steam pipe 13. Preferably, the second one-way valve 16 is disposed at one end of the steam pipe 13 near the health pot 1, and the output end of the steam pipe 13 is connected to the health pot 1 through the second one-way valve 16. In this way, the one-way conduction characteristic of the second one-way valve 16 can be used to prevent external objects from entering the steam pipe 13, further preventing the steam pipe 13 from being blocked. Optionally, the first one-way valve 14 and the second one-way valve 16 can be one of the following: a swing one-way valve, a lift one-way valve, a butterfly one-way valve, a ball one-way valve, a pipe one-way valve, and a spring-assisted one-way valve.
[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, before heating begins, the body 11 of the health pot 1 is placed on the base 2, with the base 2 supporting the body 11. Simultaneously, the groove 17 on the handle 12 engages with the locking buckle 32. Optionally, the bottom of the groove 17 facing the locking buckle 32 has a first guide slope, and the locking buckle 32 facing the groove 17 has a second guide slope. Thus, during the process of placing the health pot 1 onto the base 2, the first and second guide slopes guide each other, causing the locking buckle 32 to rotate in the opposite direction around the pin 33, thereby allowing the health pot 1 to... The kettle 1 can be placed smoothly and stably on the base 2. When the steam generator in the base 2 is powered on, the electromagnet 311 is simultaneously powered on, so that the electromagnet 311 generates an electromagnetic field. Under the attraction of the electromagnetic field, the driving magnet 312 drives the locking buckle 32 to rotate around the pin 33, thereby realizing that the locking buckle 32 engages with the slot 17 on the handle 12 to lock the kettle 1 on the base 2. This prevents the kettle 1 from being accidentally lifted when it is powered on for heating, effectively avoiding liquid splashing or high-temperature steam eruption in the kettle 1, which could cause burns or other accidents, and greatly improving the safety of the equipment. Furthermore, after heating is completed, the power to the steam generator and electromagnet 311 is simultaneously cut off, the electromagnetic field disappears, and when the health pot 1 is moved upward, the locking buckle 32 has too little clamping force under the action of external force, and no longer clamps the health pot 1, thus moving the health pot 1 forward. Optionally, under the action of the reset member, the locking buckle 32 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction around the pin 33, realizing the separation of the locking buckle 32 from the health pot 1, so as to lift the health pot 1 from the base 2. After the health pot 1 is lifted from the base 2, the plug 15 separates from the plug interface 23. At the same time, the one-way conduction characteristics of the first one-way valve 14 and the second one-way valve 16 are used to prevent the backflow of high-temperature steam in the inner cavity of the health pot 1 and the steam pipe 13, thereby further reducing the risk of users being scalded by high-temperature steam when moving the health pot 1, and fully optimizing the safety of steam health appliances.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of this application.
