[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention discloses a magnetic lid-opening structure for an electric kettle, comprising a kettle body 1 and a lid 2 that fits onto the kettle spout 11. The kettle spout 11 has a spout 12 on one side and a handle base 13 on the other side. A mounting base 3 is provided on the kettle body 1, positioned between the handle base 13 and the kettle spout 11. One end of the lid 2 is hinged to the spout 12, and the mounting base 3 has a locking structure that engages with the lid 2. It is understood that the handle base 13 is used to house the handle of the kettle body 1 and to connect to the electrical socket. Steam leakage from the kettle spout 11 near the handle base 13 could easily pose an electrical safety hazard. One end of the lid 2 is hinged to the spout 12, and the other end of the lid 2 can be locked to the mounting base 3 via the locking structure, preventing the lid 2 from being lifted by steam and causing steam leakage from the kettle spout 11 and the handle base 13.

[0025] The spout 12 is provided with an end seat 14, and the mouth 11 is provided with a groove. The end seat 14 is fixedly installed in the groove of the mouth 11, and the end seat 14 has an opening to connect to the inner cavity of the pot body 1. An extension frame 15 is vertically provided on the end seat 14, and a rotating shaft 16 is provided at the upper end of the extension frame 15. The pot lid 2 is connected to the rotating shaft 16 and is thus openably and closably installed on the mouth 11. The mouth 11 has a groove for installing the end seat 14, and the end seat 14 has an opening to form the spout 12, so that water in the pot body 1 can be poured out from the spout 12. Furthermore, the end seat 14 is provided with an extension frame 15 and a rotating shaft 16 is installed, so that the pot lid 2 is rotatably connected to the extension frame 15. The extension frame 15 can make the pot lid 2 flush with the mouth 11, so that the pot lid 2 can be flipped up and down to close or open the mouth 11.

[0026] The locking structure includes a slide block 31 and a limiting socket 21. The mounting base 3 has a slide rail, one end of which penetrates the side wall of the kettle body 1. The limiting socket 21 is located at the other end of the kettle lid 2. The slide block 31 is located within the slide rail and can slide laterally along it. The slide block 31 has a locking tongue 32 that matches the limiting socket 21. Specifically, the sliding of the slide block 31 laterally along the slide rail can cause the locking tongue 32 to insert into or disengage from the limiting socket 21. When the locking tongue 32 is inserted into the limiting socket 21, the kettle lid 2 and the mounting base 3 form a position limit, preventing the kettle lid 2 from being lifted by steam and causing leakage.

[0027] Furthermore, the locking structure also includes a switch 22 and a lifting tube 33. The switch 22 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 3. The mounting base 3 is provided with an actuating groove 34, and the lifting tube 33 passes vertically through the actuating groove 34. The lower end of the lifting tube 33 passes through the slide block 31, and a linkage is provided between the lower end of the lifting tube 33 and the slide block 31. A transmission mechanism is provided between the switch 22 and the lifting tube 33. Preferably, the switch 22 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 3. The switch 22 drives the lifting tube 33 to move up and down through the transmission mechanism, and the lifting tube 33 drives the slide block 31 to move horizontally through the linkage, thereby realizing the engagement of the locking tongue 32 and the limiting socket 21.

[0028] Specifically, the linkage includes a trigger 35, which is rotatably mounted in the mounting base 3; the lower end of the lifting tube 33 is provided with a first keyway 36, and the first end of the trigger 35 is movably inserted into the first keyway 36; the slide 31 is provided with a second keyway 37, and the second end of the trigger 35 is movably inserted into the second keyway 37. The trigger 35 is rotatably mounted in the mounting base 3 via a hinge, and the two ends of the trigger 35 are respectively connected to the first keyway 36 and the second keyway 37. The trigger 35 is used to change the direction of the action, that is, to convert the vertical movement of the lifting tube 33 into the lateral movement of the slide 31.

[0029] The transmission mechanism includes a conduit 23, a connecting rod 24, and a spring 25. A guide groove 26 is provided on the switch 22, and the conduit 23 passes through the guide groove 26 and can slide up and down along it. The lower end of the conduit 23 is connected to the lifting pipe 33. The connecting rod 24 is located inside the conduit 23, and the upper end of the connecting rod 24 passes through the upper end plate of the conduit 23 and connects to the switch 22. A baffle 27 is provided at the lower end of the connecting rod 24. The spring 25 is sleeved between the connecting rod 24 and the conduit 23. The upper end of the spring 25 touches the upper end plate of the conduit 23, and the lower end of the spring 25 touches the baffle 27.

[0030] Specifically, the lower end of the switch 22 is provided with a wedge-shaped slider 28, and the upper end of the lifting tube 33 is provided with a wedge-shaped stop 38. The wedge-shaped slider 28 and the wedge-shaped stop 38 are connected in cooperation. When the switch 22 is rotated at a certain angle (90°-180°), the wedge-shaped slider 28 presses against the wedge-shaped stop 38, driving the wedge-shaped stop 38 and the lifting tube to move downwards. This causes the slide 31 to drive the locking tongue 32 and insert it into the limiting socket 21 to lock the lid 2. Conversely, when the switch 22 is rotated, the wedge-shaped stop 38 is released. At this time, the spring 25 drives the guide tube 23 upwards and retracts into the guide groove 26. The guide tube 23 drives the lifting tube 33 to move upwards, and the trigger 35 drives the slide 31 away from the lid 2, thereby causing the locking tongue 32 to disengage from the limiting socket 21 and allowing the lid 2 to be opened.

[0031] The lid 2 is provided with several vent holes 29. When the kettle body 1 is boiling water, the several vent holes 29 can release water vapor and control the direction of steam release to prevent it from affecting electrical components and users.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
