Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, specifically to a steam vent leak-proof hinge device. Background Technology

[0002] The steam vent is a key structure on the kettle lid, mainly used to regulate the pressure inside the kettle and release the high-temperature steam generated during heating. This ensures that the steam can be released smoothly when the water boils, preventing the lid from being forced open by the air pressure, thus preventing excessive steam pressure inside the kettle from causing safety hazards.

[0003] Most kettles on the market are equipped with steam valves or steam venting devices to regulate the pressure inside the kettle and release steam. However, these traditional steam venting devices are designed with the steam holes usually in an open state. Especially when pouring the kettle, liquid and high-temperature steam can easily overflow from the steam holes, posing a risk of scalding. In addition, the steam holes are prone to accumulating dirt and clogging due to long-term direct exposure, which affects the steam release efficiency and increases the difficulty of cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steam hole leak-proof hinge device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the easy overflow of liquid and high-temperature steam from the steam hole when pouring water, and the easy accumulation and blockage of scale in the steam hole due to long-term direct exposure.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a steam hole leak-proof hinge device, including a kettle body and a kettle lid disposed on the top of the kettle body. A spout is disposed on one side of the kettle body, and handles are rotatably connected to both sides of the kettle body. A handle is disposed on the kettle lid, and a steam hole is disposed on one side of the kettle lid. The steam hole is located on the side of the kettle lid near the spout and extends through both the upper and lower ends of the kettle lid. A hinge is rotatably connected to the inner side of the kettle lid on the side of the steam hole via a hinge, and the hinge is perpendicular to the bottom of the kettle lid in its natural state.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the hinge is composed of a rotating seat, a rotating shaft and a movable leaf. The rotating seat is welded and fixed to the bottom of the kettle body, and one end of the movable leaf is inserted into the rotating seat through the rotating shaft and is rotatably connected to the rotating seat.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the movable blade, after being rotated by the rotating shaft, abuts against the lower end face of the steam hole at the bottom of the kettle lid.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the area of ​​the movable blade is larger than the area of ​​the steam vent.

[0009] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0010] 1. This leak-proof hinge device automatically seals the steam hole when the kettle is poured using gravity, preventing high-temperature steam or liquid leakage, reducing the risk of scalding, and improving safety and convenience of use. At the same time, the steam hole remains open when the kettle is not being poured, ensuring normal steam discharge.

[0011] 2. This leak-proof hinge device uses a separate open steam vent, allowing dirt and other contaminants to accumulate there. Cleaning can be done directly at the steam vent. It has a simple structure and is easy to install and maintain. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] Example 1:

[0021] As per the instruction manual Figure 1-4 As shown, a steam vent anti-leak hinge device includes a kettle body 1 and a kettle lid 2 disposed on the top of the kettle body 1. A spout 3 is disposed on one side of the kettle body 1. Handles 4 are rotatably connected to both sides of the kettle body 1. A handle 5 is disposed on the kettle lid 2. A steam vent 6 is disposed on one side of the kettle lid 2, located on the side of the kettle lid 2 near the spout 3, and the steam vent 6 passes through the upper and lower ends of the kettle lid 2. A hinge 7 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the kettle lid 2 on the side of the steam vent 6 via a hinge, and the hinge 7 is perpendicular to the bottom of the kettle lid 2 in its natural state.

[0022] In this utility model, the hinge 7 is composed of a rotating base 8, a rotating shaft 9, and a movable leaf 10. The rotating base 8 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the kettle body 1. One end of the movable leaf 10 is inserted into the rotating base 8 through the rotating shaft 9 and is rotatably connected to the rotating base 8. After the movable leaf 10 rotates through the rotating shaft 9, it abuts against the lower end face of the steam hole 6 at the bottom of the kettle lid 2. The area of ​​the movable leaf 10 is larger than the area of ​​the steam hole 6.

[0023] Example 2:

[0024] In practical applications, this steam hole anti-leak hinge device can be installed at the spout 3, the flange of the pot mouth, or other positions that need to be closed due to changes in gravity, and is not limited to the steam hole 6 of the lid 2.

[0025] In a specific implementation of this utility model, when the kettle body 1 is in a normal state (not tilted), the hinge 7 remains in a vertical hanging state, the steam hole 6 is open, and steam is allowed to be discharged normally.

[0026] When the kettle is tilted, due to the combined effect of gravity and the force of the water flow, the movable blade 10 will rotate around the rotating base 8 with the rotating shaft 9 as the center, and eventually cover the area below the steam hole 6, thereby preventing liquid or high-temperature steam from leaking out.

[0027] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the specific embodiments shown are only one of the embodiments of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited to this. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this description and designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such design should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
