Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of daily necessities, and particularly relates to a kettle lid and a kettle having said kettle lid. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most self-opening oil bottles on the market use a counterweight to achieve automatic opening and closing of the lid. However, after a period of use, these oil bottles often experience problems such as difficulty in opening the lid, a small opening angle, or the lid failing to return to its original position due to accumulated residues (such as dust and grease). Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to address the aforementioned problems in the prior art by providing a lid and pot that open and close smoothly and are easy to use.

[0004] This application provides a kettle lid in some embodiments, including a base, a lid body, a connecting plate, a lid, a handle, and a linkage component. The base has a first opening. The lid body is connected to the base to form a receiving space together with the base. The lid body has a first through-hole, a second through-hole, and a third through-hole. The first through-hole communicates with the first opening, and the second and third through-holes communicate with the receiving space. The connecting plate is rotatably connected to the lid body or the base to selectively cover the second through-hole. The lid is connected to the connecting plate to selectively cover the first through-hole as the connecting plate rotates. The handle passes through the third through-hole and is rotatably connected to the base or the lid body, and can move within the third through-hole, with part of the handle exposed outside the receiving space. The linkage component is located within the receiving space and is connected between the connecting plate and the handle. When the handle rotates relative to the base, the linkage component drives the connecting plate to rotate, thereby opening and closing the lid.

[0005] In some embodiments, the lid further includes an elastic element located within the receiving space and abutting between the lid body and the handle.

[0006] In some embodiments, a mounting portion located within the receiving space is provided on the side of the handle facing the cover or on the side of the cover facing the handle, one end of the elastic member is disposed on the mounting portion, and the other end of the elastic member abuts against the cover or the handle.

[0007] In some embodiments, the cover includes a body and a sealing portion, the sealing portion being disposed around the outer periphery of the body so as to movably abut against the cover as the connecting plate rotates.

[0008] In some embodiments, the linkage includes a first linkage portion, which protrudes from the side of the handle facing the connecting plate and abuts against the connecting plate.

[0009] In some embodiments, the linkage further includes a second linkage portion protruding from the side of the connecting plate facing the handle, and the first linkage portion rotates with the handle to selectively connect to the second linkage portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, a connecting rod is further provided between the cover and the connecting plate, the connecting rod being located outside the receiving space.

[0011] In some embodiments, the base also has a second opening communicating with the receiving space, and the lid also includes a seal disposed on the handle and rotatable with the handle to selectively cover the second opening.

[0012] In some embodiments, the handle includes a first handle portion, a second handle portion, and a baffle. The first handle portion is connected to the second handle portion and is disposed on both sides of the third through opening together with the second handle portion. The first handle portion is located within the receiving space. The linkage is connected between the first handle portion and the connecting plate. The second handle portion is exposed outside the receiving space. The baffle is disposed at the connection between the first handle portion and the second handle portion and rotates with the handle to movably cover the third through opening.

[0013] Some embodiments of this application also provide a kettle, including a kettle body and the kettle lid described above, wherein the kettle body is detachably connected to the base.

[0014] In summary, the rotatable handle design in some embodiments of this application allows the handle to rotate in the opposite direction of gravity when the user grasps the handle to lift the lid. Simultaneously, the handle's rotation, driven by the linkage, causes the connecting plate to rotate, thus opening the lid. When the user removes the handle and puts down the lid, the handle's weight causes it to rotate in the direction of gravity. Again, the linkage causes the connecting plate to rotate back to its initial position, closing the lid. This effectively avoids the problems of difficulty opening traditional self-opening oil bottles after prolonged use. Furthermore, the design of the lid connecting to the linkage via the connecting plate serves two purposes: firstly, it adds weight to ensure automatic lid reset when not in use, and secondly, the lid's independence from the connecting plate ensures effective sealing of the first through-hole.

[0023] The following are specific embodiments of this application, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the technical solution of this application. However, this application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5A kettle lid 10 includes a base 11, a lid body 12, a connecting plate 13, a lid 14, a handle 15, and a linkage 16. The base 11 has a first opening 111. The lid body 12 is connected to the base 11 to form a receiving space 112. The lid body 12 has a first through-hole 121, a second through-hole 122, and a third through-hole 123. The first through-hole 121 communicates with the first opening 111. The second through-hole 122 and the third through-hole 123 both communicate with the receiving space 112. The connecting plate 13 is rotatably connected to the lid body 12 to selectively cover the second through-hole 122. The lid 14 is connected to the connecting plate 13 to selectively cover the first through-hole 121 as the connecting plate 13 rotates. The handle 15 passes through the third through-hole 123 and is rotatably connected to the base 11, and can move within the third through-hole 123. Part of the handle 15 is exposed outside the receiving space 112. The linkage 16 is located within the receiving space 112 and is connected between the connecting plate 13 and the handle 15. When the handle 15 rotates relative to the base 11, it drives the connecting plate 13 to rotate through the linkage 16, thereby causing the cover 14 to open and close.

[0025] Of course, in some other embodiments, the elements rotatably connected to the connecting plate 13 and the handle 15 are not limited to those described above. Specifically, the connecting plate 13 is rotatably connected to the base 11, and the handle 15 is rotatably connected to the cover 12.

[0026] It is understood that in some embodiments of this application, the handle 15 of the lid 10 is designed to be rotatable, so that when the user grasps the handle 15 to lift the lid 10 for use, the handle 15 rotates in the opposite direction to gravity under the action of the lid 10's own weight. At the same time, under the action of the linkage 16, the handle 15 will drive the connecting plate 13 to rotate during the rotation, thereby driving the lid 14 to open. When the user's hand leaves the handle 15 and puts down the lid 10, due to the weight of the handle 15 itself, the handle 15 rotates in the direction of gravity. At the same time, under the action of the linkage 16, the handle 15 will drive the connecting plate 13 to rotate to return to the initial position, thereby driving the lid 14 to close. This effectively avoids a series of problems such as the difficulty in opening the lid after long-term use of traditional self-opening oil bottles. In addition, the design of the lid 14 being connected to the linkage 16 via the connecting plate 13 serves two purposes. First, it adds weight to ensure the automatic reset of the lid 14 when the lid 10 is not in use, thanks to the weight of the lid 14 and the connecting plate 13. Second, the design of the lid 14 being independent of the connecting plate 13 also ensures the effective sealing of the first through-hole 121 by the lid 14.

[0027] In some embodiments, the lid 10 also includes an elastic element 17. The elastic element 17 is located within the receiving space 112 and abuts against the lid body 12 and the handle 15. It is understood that when a user grasps the handle 15 to lift the lid 10 for use, the handle 15 rotates in the opposite direction of gravity under the weight of the lid 10, compressing the elastic element 17. At this time, the elastic element 17 gains elastic potential energy under pressure. When the user removes their hand from the handle 15 and puts down the lid 10, due to the weight of the handle 15 itself, the handle 15 moves in the direction of gravity, and the elastic element 17 releases its elastic potential energy by escaping the pressure of the handle 15, pushing the handle 15 back to its original position. Therefore, the elastic element 17 is provided to further ensure that the handle 15 returns to its original position after use, while simultaneously ensuring the lid 14 is closed.

[0028] It is understood that the elastic element 17 can be a spring, air bladder, rubber elastic element or other structure with elastic force, and no limitation is made here.

[0029] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a mounting portion 171 located within the receiving space 112 is provided on the side of the handle 15 facing the lid 12. One end of the elastic member 17 is provided in the mounting portion 171, and the other end of the elastic member 17 abuts against the lid 12. The mounting portion 171 is provided to fix the elastic member 17 to prevent it from shifting or slipping during use, thus affecting the normal use of the lid 10.

[0030] Of course, in some other embodiments, the mounting part 171 may be provided on the side of the cover 12 facing the handle 15, so that one end of the elastic member 17 is provided on the mounting part 171 and the other end of the elastic member 17 abuts against the handle 15.

[0031] In some embodiments, the cover 14 includes a body 141 and a sealing portion 142. The sealing portion 142 is disposed around the outer periphery of the body 141 so as to movably abut against the cover 12 as the connecting plate 13 rotates, so as to effectively seal the first through opening 121.

[0032] In some embodiments, the linkage 16 includes a first linkage portion 161. The first linkage portion 161 protrudes from the side of the handle 15 facing the connecting plate 13. The first linkage portion 161 abuts against the connecting plate 13. Thus, when the user grasps the handle 15 to lift the lid 10 for use, under the weight of the lid 10, the handle 15 rotates relative to the base 11, and the first linkage 16 rotates together with the handle 15 to push the connecting plate 13, which abuts against it, to rotate, thereby causing the lid 14 to open.

[0033] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the linkage 16 further includes a second linkage portion 162. The second linkage portion 162 protrudes from the side of the connecting plate 13 facing the handle 15. The first linkage portion 161 rotates with the handle 15 to selectively connect with the second linkage portion 162. It is understood that when the user grasps the handle 15 to lift the lid 10, under the weight of the lid 10 itself, the handle 15 rotates relative to the base 11, and the first linkage portion 16 rotates with the handle 15 to push the connecting plate 13, which it abuts against, to rotate, thereby causing the lid 14 to open; when the user's hand leaves the handle 15 and puts down the lid 10, due to the weight of the handle 15 itself, the handle 15 moves in the direction of gravity, and the first linkage portion 161 provided on the handle 15 connects with the second linkage portion 162 during the rotation of the handle 15, so as to drive the connecting plate 13 to rotate to the initial position, thereby causing the lid 14 to close.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first linkage 161 and the second linkage 162 are mutually cooperating hook structures (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown). Of course, in some other embodiments, the first linkage 161 and the second linkage 162 can also be mutually cooperating gear structures, sliding groove and slider structures, etc., which are not limited here.

[0035] In some embodiments, a connecting rod 143 is also provided between the lid 14 and the connecting plate 13. The connecting rod 143 is located outside the receiving space 112. The connecting rod 143 serves two purposes: firstly, it connects the lid 14 and the connecting plate 13, so that the lid 14 can be opened and closed when the connecting plate 13 rotates; secondly, the connecting rod 143 also increases the overall weight of the lid 14 and the connecting plate 13 to a certain extent, so as to further ensure that the lid 14 automatically resets when the lid 10 is not in use.

[0036] In some embodiments, the base 11 also has a second opening 113 communicating with the receiving space 112. The lid 10 also includes a sealing element 18. The sealing element 18 is disposed on the handle 15 and can rotate with the handle 15 to selectively cover the second opening 113. The second opening 113 serves as a vent to balance air pressure and facilitate the normal use of the lid 10. It is understood that when the user grasps the handle 15 to lift the lid 10 for use, the sealing element 18 rotates with the handle 15 away from the second opening 113, thus releasing the seal and ensuring the normal use of the lid 10. When the user removes their hand from the handle 15 and puts down the lid 10, the sealing element 18 returns to its initial position with the handle 15 to seal the second opening 113, ensuring the hygiene of the lid 10 when not in use. Furthermore, the sealing element 18, located between the handle 15 and the base 11, also provides a certain buffering effect, preventing the handle 15 from bumping against the base 11 when returning to its original position, thus ensuring the service life of the lid 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, the handle 15 includes a first handle portion 151, a second handle portion 152, and a baffle 153. The first handle portion 151 is connected to the second handle portion 152, and the first handle portion 151 and the second handle portion 152 are respectively disposed on both sides of the third through hole 123. The first handle portion 151 is located within the receiving space 112, and the linkage member 16 is connected between the first handle portion 151 and the connecting plate 13. The second handle portion 152 is exposed outside the receiving space 112 for convenient operation by the user. The baffle 153 is disposed at the connection between the first handle portion 151 and the second handle portion 152, and rotates with the handle 15 to movably cover the third through hole 123, serving functions such as dust prevention and aesthetics.

[0038] In some embodiments, the kettle lid 10 further includes a guiding member 19. The guiding member 19 is connected to the first opening 111 and the first through hole 121, and one end of the guiding member 19 away from the base 11 is exposed at the first through hole 121. Thus, the liquid can be exported from the first through hole 121 via the guiding member 19 through the first opening 111.

[0039] In some embodiments, the lid body 12 includes a top wall 124 and a side wall 125. The top wall 124 is disposed opposite to the base 11. The side wall 125 is connected to the base 11 to form a receiving space 112 together with the top wall 124. The connecting plate 13 and the handle 15 are rotatably connected to the top wall 124 or the side wall 125 or the base 11. The first through hole 121 and the second through hole 122 are disposed on the top wall 124. The third through hole 123 is disposed on the side wall 125. In the height direction of the kettle lid 10, the size of the third through hole 123 is greater than the thickness of the handle 15, so as to provide a rotation space for the rotation of the handle 15.

[0040] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the connecting plate 13 is rotatably connected to the top wall 124, and the handle 15 is rotatably connected to the base 11.

[0041] Refer Figures 6 to 7 to FIG., some embodiments of the present application further provide a kettle 1, including a kettle body 20 and the above-mentioned kettle lid 10. The kettle body 20 is detachably connected to the base 11. It can be understood that the detachable connection manner between the kettle body 20 and the kettle lid 10 not only facilitates the user to clean, but also facilitates the user to replenish materials into the kettle body 20.

[0042] Among them, the connection between the kettle body 20 and the base 11 is not limited to being connected by a thread, and can also be a detachable connection manner such as snap connection, key connection, pin connection, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0043] In some embodiments, the kettle 1 further includes a sealing ring 30. The sealing ring 30 is disposed between the base 11 and the kettle body 20 to play a sealing role.

[0044] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples of the spirit of this application. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this application or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
