[0025] like Figures 1 to 10In a preferred embodiment, this utility model discloses a rotary switch kettle, comprising: a kettle body 1 and a kettle lid assembly. The kettle body 1 has a spout 11 at its top and a locking part 121 inside the kettle body 1. The kettle lid assembly covers the spout 11. The kettle lid assembly includes a first lid assembly 2, a slider 4, a rotary drive 5, and an elastic drive 6. The first lid assembly 2 has a slide 21. The rotary drive 5 is rotatably connected to the first lid assembly 2 and located on one side of the slide 21. The slider 4 is disposed within the slide 21. The side of the slider 4 away from the rotary drive 5 has a protrusion 43. The side of the slider 4 closest to the rotary drive 5 is pivotally connected to one side of the rotary drive 5. The rotary drive 5 can rotate relative to the first lid assembly 2 and drive the slider 4 to move along the slide 21, so that the protrusion 43 can protrude from the first lid assembly 2 and abut against the locking part 121. That is, when the rotary drive 5 rotates relative to the first lid assembly 2, the slider 4 moves along the slide 21. When the first cover assembly 2 rotates and drives the slider 4 to move along the slide 21 toward the direction of the buckle 43, the buckle 43 protrudes from the first cover assembly 2 and abuts against the locking part 121. When the rotation drive member 5 rotates relative to the first cover assembly 2 and drives the slider 4 to move along the slide 21 toward the direction away from the buckle 43, the buckle 43 disengages from the locking part 121 and is received inside the first cover assembly 2. The elastic drive member 6 is disposed on the first cover assembly 2 and abuts against the slider 4 along the sliding direction of the slider 4. The rotation drive member 5 rotates and drives the slider 4 to slide along the slide 21. The elastic drive member 6 provides driving force to keep the buckle 43 protruding from the first cover assembly 2, so as to stably fix and restrict the lid assembly to the mouth 11, and prevent the buckle 43 from disengaging from the locking part 121 and causing the lid assembly to open when the kettle body is tilted to pour water or accidentally falls.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the lid assembly further includes a second lid assembly 3, which covers the first lid assembly 2. The second lid assembly 3 has a downwardly protruding rotating shaft 31, which is fixedly connected to the rotating drive member 5. A limiting block 32 is provided on the lower side of the second lid assembly 3, and a limiting groove 22 is provided on the first lid assembly 2 corresponding to the limiting block 32. The second lid assembly 3 can rotate relative to the first lid assembly 2, and the second lid assembly 3 drives the rotating drive member 5 to rotate. The limiting block 32 slides along the limiting groove 22. The second lid assembly 3 rotates relative to the first lid assembly 2. By setting the second lid assembly 3 and the rotating shaft 31 to be fixedly connected to the rotating drive member 5, the rotating second lid assembly 3 can drive the rotating drive member 5, which is convenient for user operation.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the second cover assembly 3 has a first position and a second position during rotation relative to the first cover assembly 2. The limiting groove 22 has a first stop 221 and a second stop 222 at opposite ends. When the second cover assembly 3 rotates to the first position, the limiting block 32 abuts against the first stop 221 in the direction of rotation of the second cover assembly 3, and the buckle 43 is received inside the first cover assembly 2. When the second cover assembly 3 rotates to the second position, the limiting block 32 abuts against the second stop 222 in the direction of rotation of the second cover assembly 3, and the buckle 43 protrudes out of the first cover assembly 2. The first stop 221 and the second stop 222 are used to restrict the second cover assembly 3 from rotating between the first position and the second position, so as to prevent the second cover assembly 3 from rotating too far.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the first cover assembly 2 is provided with a limiting pin 7, and the second cover assembly 3 extends downwardly with a limiting boss 33. A third stop 331 is formed on one side of the limiting boss 33, and a fourth stop 332 is formed on the other side of the boss. The limiting pin 7 elastically abuts against the limiting boss 33 upward. During the rotation of the second cover assembly 3 relative to the first cover assembly 2, the limiting pin 7 slides along the limiting boss 33. When the second cover assembly 3 rotates to the first position, the limiting pin 7 slides out of the limiting boss 33 and abuts against the third stop 331 in the opposite direction to the rotation of the second cover assembly 3. When the second cover assembly 3 rotates to the second position... When in position, the limiting pin 7 slides out of the limiting protrusion 33 and abuts against the fourth stop 332 in the direction opposite to the rotation of the second cover assembly 3. The first stop 221 and the third stop 331 work together to restrict the second cover assembly 3 to the first position, so that the buckle 43 is kept in the state of being received in the first cover assembly 2, so as to facilitate the user to open the lid assembly. The second stop 222 and the fourth stop 332 work together to restrict the second cover assembly 3 to the second position. The buckle 43 remains in the state of protruding from the first cover assembly 2 and abutting against the locking part 121, so as to stably fix and restrict the lid assembly to the mouth 11.
