Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettle technology, and in particular to a kettle lid mechanism for electric kettles that can be directly filled with water. Background Technology

[0002] In today's fast-paced life, electric kettles, as convenient hot water supply devices, are widely used in homes, offices, and other settings. As people's demands for quality of life continue to rise, higher expectations are placed on the ease of use and operational safety of electric kettles. The kettle lid, as a key component, directly impacts the user experience through its water-filling mechanism. Traditional electric kettles suffer from cumbersome operation and are prone to splashing, failing to meet users' needs for efficient and safe water filling. Therefore, developing a kettle lid mechanism that allows for direct water filling, is simple to operate, and is safe and reliable has become an important direction for enhancing the competitiveness of electric kettle products.

[0003] Currently, most electric kettles on the market use either a detachable lid or a push-button lid. Detachable lids usually require users to completely remove the lid before aligning the kettle with the water source to fill it with water. Push-button lids, on the other hand, open the water inlet by pressing a button.

[0004] However, existing electric kettle lid structures suffer from inconvenient water filling and poor safety. Separate lids are cumbersome to operate, with the process of removing and replacing the lid being quite troublesome, especially for the elderly or those with insufficient hand strength. Press-type lids, with their small inlet design, result in slow water filling and unstable water flow, easily causing splashing. In daily use, this inconvenience or uncontrolled water filling can easily lead to hot water splashing and overflowing, causing burns, electric shocks, and other safety issues. Therefore, a direct, convenient, and safe water filling mechanism for electric kettles is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a kettle lid mechanism that allows for direct water filling, aiming to improve the problem that the existing water filling method involves cumbersome operation steps, and the process of removing and putting on the lid is troublesome, making it impossible to achieve direct, convenient and safe water filling operation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A kettle lid mechanism for direct water filling includes a kettle lid, a fixing plate fixedly connected inside the kettle lid, a fixing seat fixedly connected inside the fixing plate, a water filling pipe fixedly connected inside the fixing seat, an extension pipe fixedly connected to the top of the water filling pipe, a flipping component provided on the outer wall of the water filling pipe, and a sensing component provided on the top of the kettle lid.

[0008] The flipping assembly includes a fixing block, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water injection pipe. A support column is fixedly connected inside the fixing block. A collar is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support column. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collar. A sealing cap is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block. The sealing cap is in contact with the water injection pipe.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The sensing component includes a liquid level sensor, which is disposed on the top of the kettle lid and the sensing end extends into the interior of the kettle body.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The fixed base has an internal slot, and a sliding column is slidably connected inside the fixed base.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] A limiting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sealing cover, and the limiting rod is in contact with the sliding column.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] A connecting ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column, and both the sliding column and the connecting ring are slidably connected inside the empty groove.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] A spring is fitted on the outer wall of the sliding column. The top end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed base, and the bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting ring.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The kettle lid is provided with a hinge on its outer wall.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, by aligning the extension tube at the top of the kettle lid with the faucet, the gravity of the water drives the sealing cap, connecting block, collar and other structures to work together, so that the sealing cap flips open from the bottom of the water inlet tube to directly fill the kettle with water. This achieves the effect of filling the electric kettle with water directly without removing the lid, solving the problem of cumbersome operation steps for filling water, and the troublesome process of removing and putting on the lid, which makes it impossible to achieve direct, convenient and safe water filling operation, thereby improving the convenience of using the electric kettle.

[0023] 2. In this utility model, when the sealing cap flips, it drives the limiting rod to move, thereby squeezing the sliding column, which in turn links the fixed seat, connecting ring, and spring, etc. With the sensing signal of the liquid level sensor, when the water volume reaches a certain level, the spring unloads and rebounds, causing each structure to reset, so that the sealing cap automatically closes. This achieves the effect of automatic closure of the sealing cap after water filling, solving the problem that traditional kettle caps need to be manually operated to close, which is inflexible, and thus improving the flexibility of the kettle cap.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-4The present invention provides an embodiment of a kettle lid mechanism for direct water filling, comprising a kettle lid 1, a fixing plate 2 fixedly connected inside the kettle lid 1, a fixing seat 3 fixedly connected inside the fixing plate 2, and a water filling pipe 4 fixedly connected inside the fixing seat 3. The water filling pipe 4 directly contacts the water inside the kettle during use and is responsible for guiding the water flow into the kettle. An extension pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the water filling pipe 4. The shape and length of the extension pipe 5 can be adjusted according to the volume and design requirements of the kettle to ensure smooth water flow. A flipping component is provided on the outer wall of the water filling pipe 4, and a sensing component is provided on the top of the kettle lid 1.

[0033] The flipping assembly includes a fixing block 6, one side of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water injection pipe 4. A support column 7 is fixedly connected inside the fixing block 6. A collar 8 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the support column 7. The support column 7 provides support through its connection with the fixing block 6. The function of the support column 7 is to support and guide the rotation of the collar 8. The rotatable connection between the support column 7 and the collar 8 ensures the flexibility of the flipping assembly. A connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the collar 8. Its function is to drive the opening and closing of the sealing cover 10. A sealing cover 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 9. The sealing cover 10 fits against the water injection pipe 4. Through the flipping assembly, the sealing cover 10 can be automatically opened when needed, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the water injection process.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 The sensing component includes a liquid level sensor 11, which is located on the top of the kettle lid 1 and extends into the kettle body. The liquid level sensor 11 used in this application is an FS-IR1902D contact photoelectric liquid level sensor, which consists of optical components and a circuit module. The near-infrared light-emitting diode, photosensitive receiver, lens, etc. in the optical components are used for the emission and reception of light signals, and the circuit module is used for signal processing and indicator light control. It is used for liquid level detection and is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here. The fixed base 3 has a slot 17 inside, and a sliding column 13 is slidably connected inside the fixed base 3. A limit rod 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sealing cover 10. 4. The sliding column 13 is in contact with the limiting rod 14. The sliding column 13 and the limiting rod 14 work together to precisely control the water level. A connecting ring 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 13. The sliding column 13 and the connecting ring 15 are slidably connected inside the empty groove 17. A spring 16 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding column 13. The top end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing seat 3, and the bottom end of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting ring 15. The function of the spring 16 is to provide the sliding column 13 with the rebound force to ensure that the sealing cover 10 can automatically reset after the water filling process is completed, and to ensure the sealing after the water filling is completed. A hinge 12 is provided on the outer wall of the kettle lid 1. Through the cooperation of the hinge 12, the kettle lid can be stably connected to the kettle.

[0035] Working principle: When using the direct-filling electric kettle lid mechanism, first align the extension tube 5 at the top of the kettle lid 1 with the faucet to fill with water. During this process, the gravity of the water will force the sealing cap 10 at the bottom of the water inlet tube 4 to move. The sealing cap 10 is forced to move the connecting block 9 connected to one side. The connecting block 9 is forced to rotate the collar 8 on one side against the outer wall of the support column 7, causing the sealing cap 10 to flip open from the bottom of the water inlet tube 4, thereby injecting water into the kettle body, thus achieving the effect of directly filling the electric kettle with water.

[0036] During the flipping process of the sealing cap 10, it also drives the limiting rod 14 on the outer wall to move synchronously, so that the limiting rod 14 contacts the sliding column 13 during the movement, thereby squeezing the sliding column 13 and causing it to slide inside the fixed seat 3 under force. The fixed seat 3 under force drives the connecting ring 15 on the outer wall to move, and the connecting ring 15 under force compresses the spring 16. When the water volume reaches a certain level, it will contact the liquid level sensor 11. The liquid level sensor 11 senses and sends a signal to stop water injection. At this time, since the sealing cap 10 loses the weight of the water, the spring 16 is relieved and rebounds, thereby driving the connecting ring 15 and the sliding column 13 to reset. The sliding column 13 pushes the limiting rod 14 to reset, thereby causing the limiting rod 14 to drive the sealing cap 10 to flip back to the bottom of the water injection pipe 4 to close and seal it, thus achieving the effect that the sealing cap 10 can automatically close after water injection is completed.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
