[0034] See Figures 1 to 9 and combined Figures 10 to 13 This utility model relates to a push-button switch kettle lid 100 (hereinafter referred to as "lid 100") and an electric kettle using the lid 100, which improves the safety of using the electric kettle. It should be noted that the electric kettle is a flip-top kettle, including a kettle body 200 and the aforementioned lid 100. The top of the kettle body is open, and the lid 100 is inserted into the top of the kettle body 200 from top to bottom.

[0035] The lid 100 includes a fixed lid 10, a decorative lid 30, a movable lid assembly 20, and a button assembly 40.

[0036] The fixing cover 10 is preferably made of stainless steel and is generally circular in shape as a groove 11, with an installation hole 12 in the middle of its bottom wall.

[0037] The decorative cover 30 is made of stainless steel and is placed on the top of the circular groove 11, forming a storage cavity together with the circular groove 11. A perforation 31 is provided in the middle of the decorative cover 30.

[0038] The movable cover assembly 20 includes a movable cover plate 21, a sealing ring 25, and a decorative piece.

[0039] The movable cover plate 21 is made of plastic, and a mounting post 22 is erected in the middle of the movable cover plate 21. The mounting post 22 passes through the mounting hole 12 and can move up and down relative to the fixed cover 10.

[0040] The sealing ring 25 is made of rubber or silicone and is fitted around the outer periphery of the movable cover plate 21. When the movable cover plate 21 covers the opening of the pot body, it forms a seal at the contact area between the movable cover plate 21 and the top structure of the pot body 200.

[0041] The decorative piece is made of stainless steel and is located on the side of the movable cover plate 21 facing away from the fixed cover 10. Its material and color are basically the same as the fixed cover 10, enhancing the aesthetics of the lid 100. Furthermore, covering the movable cover plate 21 with the stainless steel decorative piece strengthens the movable cover assembly 20 to some extent and protects the movable cover plate 21 from wear and deformation.

[0042] The button assembly 40 is located in the receiving cavity and protrudes from the through hole 31, partially protruding from the decorative cover 30. It is vertically connected to the fixed cover 10 and the mounting post 22 in an open and closed manner. When it receives external pressure, it switches from the open state to the closed state, pressing down on the mounting post 22 to cause the movable cover plate 21 to descend relative to the fixed cover 10 to seal the top opening of the electric kettle. Alternatively, when it switches from the closed state to the open state, it presses down on the mounting post 22 to cause the movable cover plate 21 to rise relative to the fixed cover 10, allowing the top opening of the electric kettle to drain.

[0043] In this utility model's push-button switch kettle lid 100, pressing the button assembly 40 switches the kettle from an open to a closed state, causing the movable cover assembly 20 to descend and seal the kettle opening. Pressing the button again switches the kettle from a closed to an open state, causing the movable cover assembly 20 to rise and allow water to flow out. Thus, the kettle 200's spout can be opened or closed by pressing the button, offering convenience and high safety. Specifically, when the button is pressed relative to the fixed cover 10, the movable cover assembly 20 blocks the kettle opening, sealing the electric kettle. Compared to existing kettle lid 100 designs that rely on button presses for water dispensing, this design avoids accidental button presses leading to water dispensing, further improving safety.

[0044] In one embodiment, a fixing shell 17 is provided inside the fixing cover 10 surrounding the mounting hole 12. The fixing shell 17 has an inner cavity 170. On the inner wall of the fixing shell 17, strip grooves 171 and toothed grooves 172 are alternately formed and communicate with the inner cavity 170. The strip grooves 171 and toothed grooves 172 are both opened from one end of the fixing shell 17 near the bottom wall of the fixing cover 10 to the end away from the bottom wall of the fixing cover 10 and communicate with each other. In the height direction of the fixing shell 17, the length of the strip groove 171 is greater than the length of the toothed groove 172.

[0045] The button assembly 40 includes a button head 41, a movable tooth block 42, and a return spring 43.

[0046] The button head 41 is cylindrical and has an inner cavity 410. The button head 41 is inserted into the fixed shell 17, and its top end protrudes from the decorative cover 30 to receive external pressing action. The lower end of the button head 41 abuts against the movable tooth block 42.

[0047] The movable tooth block 42 is stepped and housed within the fixed housing 17. The top of the movable tooth block is a fixed end 422 and fixed to the mounting post 22. The lower outer periphery of the movable tooth block 42 extends outward to form a flange 421. Multiple locking teeth 423 are evenly distributed on the flange. When the movable tooth block 42 is pressed by the button head 41, the locking teeth 423 switch between entering the strip groove 171 or the toothed groove 172. The return spring 43 is sleeved on the mounting post 22. The two ends of the return spring 43 abut against the bottom wall of the fixed cover 10 and the movable tooth block 42, respectively, and tend to press the locking teeth 423 against the toothed groove 172.

[0048] Thus, when the button on the lid 100 is pressed and changes from the open state to the closed state, the movable cover plate 21 moves down, blocking the opening at the top of the kettle body and sealing the kettle. When the button is released, the locking tooth 423 slides into the toothed groove 172 to lock the movable cover plate 21, keeping it sealed. When the button is pressed again, the lid 100 changes from the closed state to the open state. The movable tooth block 42 rotates at a certain angle under the action of the button head 41 and enters the area where the strip groove 171 is located. When the button head 41 is released, the locking tooth 423 slides upward along the strip groove 171 under the action of the return spring 43. The movable tooth block 42 drives the movable cover plate 21 to move upward relative to the fixed cover 10, thereby allowing the opening at the top of the kettle body 200 to let water out.

[0049] In one embodiment, the end of the button head 41 is provided with a driving inclined surface, and the locking tooth 423 is provided with a pressure-receiving inclined surface 4231 that obliquely slides with the driving inclined surface. Both the strip groove 171 and the toothed groove 172 are provided with mating inclined surfaces that cooperate with the pressure-receiving inclined surfaces. When the button head 41 is pressed, the driving inclined surface acts on the driving inclined surface, rotating the movable tooth block 42 by a preset angle, causing the locking tooth 423 to switch between the strip groove 171 and the toothed groove 172. By providing mating inclined surfaces, the smoothness of the relative movement between the button head 41, the movable tooth block 42, and the fixed shell 17 is improved.

[0050] In one embodiment, the end of the button head 41 is provided with a drive tip 411, and the drive slope is formed on the side of the drive tip 411; the number of locking teeth 423 is equal to the number of strip grooves 171 and toothed grooves 172; the number of drive tips 411 is twice the number of locking teeth 423.

[0051] In one embodiment, a guide block 412 is provided on the outer periphery of the button head 41. The guide block 412 is embedded in the strip groove 171 and can slide up and down along the strip groove 171.

[0052] In one embodiment, the fixed shell 17 extends outward to form a positioning arm, and a positioning hole 173 is provided on the positioning arm. The decorative cover 30 is provided with a positioning post 32 at a position corresponding to the positioning hole 173. The positioning post 32 is inserted into the positioning hole 173 when the decorative cover 30 is closed on the fixed cover 10.

[0053] In one embodiment, a plurality of guide posts 24 are evenly arranged around the mounting post 22 on the movable cover plate 21, and the fixed cover 10 has guide holes 16 corresponding to the guide posts 24, and the guide posts 24 are inserted into the guide holes 16.

[0054] In one embodiment, the movable cover plate 21 has a steam outlet, and a steam switch assembly 23 is provided at the steam outlet. The fixed cover 10, corresponding to the main body and steam outlet of the steam switch assembly 23, has a first clearance hole 15 on its bottom wall and a second clearance hole 14 on its side wall. The steam outlet of the steam switch assembly 23 is provided through the second clearance hole 14.

[0055] In one embodiment, the fixed cover 10 is provided with a surrounding wall 13 near the first clearance hole 15, the surrounding wall 13 penetrating the bottom wall of the fixed cover 10; the steam switch assembly 23 is disposed inside the surrounding wall 13, and the steam outlet nozzle passes through the surrounding wall 13 and the second clearance hole 14 and is partially exposed outside the fixed cover 10.

[0056] Secondly, this utility model also relates to an electric kettle, including a kettle body 200 and the aforementioned kettle lid 100. The kettle body has an opening at its top, and the kettle lid 100 is placed on top of the kettle body 200. This electric kettle offers high safety.
