[0023] Figure 4 This is an enlarged view of embodiment A of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] First embodiment:

[0026] See Figures 1-4This electric kettle includes a kettle body 1 and a kettle lid 2. The kettle body 1 has an inner cavity 11 and a spout 13 that are interconnected. The kettle lid 2 is fitted onto the spout 13. A sealing ring 3 is provided between the kettle lid 2 and the spout 13. The sealing ring 3 has a vent 31, which forms a venting channel for connecting the inner cavity 11 and the outside of the kettle body 1. In addition to preventing excessive pressure inside the inner cavity 11 and improving product safety, the venting channel can also better balance the pressure between the inner cavity 11 and the outside of the kettle body 1, making it easier for water to flow out from the spout when pouring water from the electric kettle.

[0027] By setting a vent 31 on the sealing ring 3, the gas in the inner cavity 11 can be discharged outward through the venting channel, eliminating the need to open additional venting holes on the lid 2 or the body 1. This simplifies the structure of the lid 2 and the body 1. At the same time, setting the vent 31 on the sealing ring 3 is relatively concealed compared to opening venting holes directly on the lid 2. This ensures that the ventilation effect of the electric kettle is not compromised, and also makes the overall product more aesthetically pleasing.

[0028] Furthermore, the venting part 31 is an outer groove provided on the outer wall of the sealing ring 3. The outer groove and the body 1 form a ventilation channel. One end of the ventilation channel is connected to the inner cavity 11, and the other end of the ventilation channel is connected to the outside of the body 1. After the lid 2 and the mouth 13 are closed, the venting part 31 can be hidden.

[0029] Furthermore, the body 1 is provided with a recessed step 12. The sealing ring 3 abuts against the recessed step 12 to form a ventilation channel between the vent 31 and the recessed step 12. This can extend the path of the high-temperature gas to be discharged outward, so that the temperature can be relatively reduced when the high-temperature gas is discharged outward, thereby improving the safety of the product. At the same time, it can also better hide the vent 31, making the product more aesthetically pleasing.

[0030] Furthermore, a bend 121 is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the recessed step 12. The bend 121 is arc-shaped along the radial side towards the sealing ring 3. The bend 121 can improve the structural strength of the recessed step 12. At the same time, the bend 121 is not easy to scratch the sealing ring 3.

[0031] Furthermore, the sealing ring 3 forms a gap with the side wall of the recessed step 12, and the cross-section of the ventilation channel is L-shaped. The gas flows through the ventilation channel in both the horizontal and vertical directions, further extending the path of the high-temperature gas to be discharged outward, so that the temperature can be relatively reduced when the high-temperature gas is discharged outward. At the same time, the gas is discharged upward, further reducing the chance of burns to the surrounding area.

[0032] Furthermore, a number of raised ribs 32 are provided on the sealing ring 3 corresponding to the bottom inner side of the sunken step 12. The raised ribs 32 are evenly distributed on the sealing ring 3 in the circumferential direction. The raised ribs 32 abut against the bottom inner side of the sunken step 12. The raised ribs 32 can create a gap between the sealing ring 3 and the bottom inner side of the sunken step 12, making it easier for gas to enter the ventilation channel.

[0033] Furthermore, the lid 2 includes an upper lid 21 and a lower lid 22. The lower lid 21 has a connecting rib 211 on its lower side. The lower lid 22 is fitted onto the outer bottom of the upper lid 21 to form a lid connection structure. The lower lid 22 has a connecting groove 221 corresponding to the connecting rib 211. The connecting rib 211 and the connecting groove 221 are engaged to connect and fix the upper lid 21 and the lower lid 22. The upper lid 21 and the lower lid 22 can be processed separately and then quickly assembled, which simplifies the overall processing technology of the lid 2.

[0034] Furthermore, a handle 4 is connected to the upper side of the lid 2. The handle 4 is connected and fixed to the upper cover 21 through a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a screw 5 and a nut 6. The screw 5 passes through the upper cover 21 from top to bottom, and the nut 6 is connected and engaged with the lower part of the screw 5. During assembly, the handle 4 can be installed on the upper cover 21 first through the locking mechanism, and then the lower cover 22 can be installed and fixed to the upper cover 21, which simplifies the installation process of the handle 4 and the lid 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the cover connection structure is convex outward, and the sealing ring 3 is provided with a limiting groove 33 corresponding to the cover connection structure. The limiting groove 33 is sleeved on the outside of the cover connection structure. The sealing ring 3 can further improve the connection strength between the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22, and at the same time make the sealing at the connection position better.

[0036] Second embodiment:

[0037] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the ventilation part 31 is an inner groove provided on the inner side wall of the sealing ring 3, and the inner groove and the lid 2 form a ventilation channel.

[0038] The remaining undescribed parts are the same as in the first embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0039] Third embodiment:

[0040] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the ventilation part 31 is a ventilation hole provided on the sealing ring 3. The ventilation hole passes through the upper and lower sides of the sealing ring 3 and forms a ventilation channel. Specifically, the ventilation channel is formed on the inner side of the ventilation hole. In this embodiment, the ventilation hole only needs to ensure that the sealing ring 3 can still connect the inner cavity 11 and the outside of the pot body 1 after being squeezed by the pot body 1 and the pot lid 2.

[0041] The remaining undescribed parts are the same as in the first embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0042] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, and other implementations are also possible. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model, and all such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope set forth in the claims of this application.
