Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water jug ​​technology, and in particular to a water jug ​​with a quick-installation handle. Background Technology

[0002] A kettle is a container for holding water. It can be a metal kettle for boiling water or a portable drinking water container. There are many types of kettles, including but not limited to electric kettles for boiling water, water containers for holding water, and insulated water bottles for keeping water warm. To improve ease of use, existing kettles usually have a handle attached to the outside of the kettle body. For example, utility model patent CN215502484U discloses a similar kettle with a handle.

[0003] To enhance aesthetics and texture, the aforementioned kettles typically use different materials for the handle and body. For example, the outer shell of the kettle body might be made of PP material, while the handle might be made of ABS material with chrome plating on the outer surface to improve brightness and appearance. However, using different materials means the handle and the outer shell of the kettle body cannot be integrated seamlessly, requiring separate assembly. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a kettle with a handle that can be quickly attached to improve production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a kettle with a quick-installation handle, enabling rapid handle installation while ensuring the handle's stability after installation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0006] A kettle with a quick-install handle includes a kettle body and a handle. The kettle body includes an upper and lower adapter ring and a kettle body that are joined together. The handle slides and engages with the outside of the adapter ring. A pre-positioning mechanism is provided between the handle and the adapter ring to prevent the handle from disengaging from the adapter ring along the sliding engagement direction. A locking mechanism is provided between the adapter ring and the kettle body. The kettle body has an opening that engages with the adapter ring. When the kettle body and the adapter ring are engaged, the locking mechanism locks the pre-positioning mechanism to prevent the pre-positioning mechanism from unlocking the handle.

[0007] Using the above solution, the handle and adapter ring can be quickly connected via a sliding snap-fit ​​mechanism, and quickly positioned using a pre-positioning mechanism to ensure efficiency and accuracy during handle installation. When the kettle body is connected to the adapter ring through the opening, the locking mechanism prevents the pre-positioning mechanism from entering the unlocked state, thereby locking the handle to ensure its stability after installation.

[0008] Preferably, the outer side of the adapter ring is provided with a snap-fit ​​block, and the handle is provided with a slot that slides and snaps into the snap-fit ​​block. The end of the slot is provided with a limiting block for abutting the head end of the snap-fit ​​block to prevent the handle from disengaging from the snap-fit ​​block along the direction in which the slot enters the snap-fit ​​block.

[0009] The above-described design features a simple sliding engagement structure between the slot and the locking block, which effectively improves the installation accuracy and efficiency of the handle, thus ensuring ease of installation. The limiting block restricts the handle's extreme positions during installation, further enhancing its installation accuracy.

[0010] Preferably, the pre-positioning mechanism includes a positioning block 1 disposed at the bottom of the slot, a clearance groove formed on the side of the locking block away from the adapter ring for receiving the positioning block 1, a positioning block 2 disposed at the bottom of the clearance groove for locking the positioning block 1, and an elastic member disposed in the clearance groove to keep the positioning block 2 and the positioning block 1 locked together.

[0011] By adopting the above scheme, the cooperation between positioning block one and positioning block two can realize the quick pre-positioning of the handle and the adapter ring, further improving the installation efficiency of the handle.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic element is a spring piece disposed in the clearance groove, and the second positioning block is disposed on the side of the spring piece close to the groove.

[0013] The above solution provides a simple spring structure that can provide stable and durable elastic support for the second positioning block, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the elastic element.

[0014] Preferably, a guide slope is provided on the side of the positioning block away from the limiting block.

[0015] Preferably, the second positioning block has a guide slope on the side near the limiting block.

[0016] By adopting the above scheme, the cooperation between guide slope one and guide slope two can realize the rapid docking of positioning block one and positioning block two, and automatically engage after the two reach the engagement position, further improving the operation efficiency and convenience.

[0017] Preferably, the end face of the adapter ring near the body of the kettle has a groove for insertion into the opening.

[0018] By adopting the above solution, the fit between the opening and the ring groove enables quick connection between the kettle body and the adapter ring, further improving the installation efficiency and convenience of the kettle.

[0019] Preferably, the annular groove is connected to the side of the elastic element away from the second positioning block, and the locking mechanism includes a locking protrusion ring arranged around the outside of the opening. When the opening is inserted into the annular groove, the locking protrusion ring presses against the side of the elastic element away from the second positioning block to drive the second positioning block to fasten the first positioning block.

[0020] Using the above solution, when the opening of the kettle body is aligned with the groove on the end face of the adapter ring, the locking protrusion ring can abut against the back of the elastic element to fill the retraction space of the elastic element and the second positioning block, thereby enabling the second positioning block to fasten the first positioning block, thus achieving complete locking of the handle and the adapter ring and ensuring the stability after locking.

[0021] Preferably, the side wall ring near the handle of the ring groove is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion for locking the kettle body to prevent it from detaching from the adapter ring.

[0022] By adopting the above solution, the snap-fit ​​between the anti-detachment protrusion ring and the locking protrusion ring can achieve complete locking of the kettle body and the adapter ring, thereby improving the stability of the kettle after assembly, and further enhancing the stability of the handle after connection.

[0023] Preferably, the locking ring has a guide slope three on the side away from the body of the pot, and the anti-detachment ring has a guide slope four on the side closer to the body of the pot.

[0024] By adopting the above scheme, the cooperation between guide slope three and guide slope four can play a guiding role, enabling the locking protrusion ring and the anti-detachment protrusion ring to quickly complete the docking, and automatically engage after the two reach the engagement position, further improving the installation efficiency and convenience of the kettle.

[0025] This invention, by adopting the above technical solutions, has significant technical advantages: the handle and the adapter ring can be quickly connected via a sliding snap-fit ​​mechanism, and rapid positioning is achieved through a pre-positioning mechanism, ensuring efficiency and accuracy during handle installation. When the kettle body is connected to the adapter ring through the opening, the locking mechanism prevents the pre-positioning mechanism from entering the unlocked state, thereby locking the handle and ensuring its stability after installation.

[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this embodiment discloses a kettle with a quick-install handle, including a kettle body 1 and a handle 2. The kettle body 1 includes an upper and lower connecting ring 3 and a kettle body 4. Specifically, the kettle body 4 has an opening 5 that mates with the connecting ring 3. The end face of the connecting ring 3 near the kettle body 4 has an annular groove 15 for inserting the side wall of the opening 5. The handle 2 is slidably engaged with the outside of the connecting ring 3. In this embodiment, a locking block 6 is integrally provided on the outside of the connecting ring 3. The locking block 6 is arranged longitudinally and its cross-section is "T"-shaped. The side of the handle 2 has a "T"-shaped locking groove 7 near the upper end, which is slidably engaged with the locking block 6. The upper end of the locking groove 7 is provided with a limiting block 8 for abutting the upper end of the locking block 6 to prevent the handle 2 from disengaging from the locking block 6 along the direction of the locking groove 7 entering the locking block 6. A pre-positioning mechanism is provided between the handle 2 and the adapter ring 3 to prevent the handle 2 from disengaging from the adapter ring 3 along the sliding engagement direction. Specifically, the pre-positioning mechanism includes a positioning block 9 integrally formed at the bottom of the slot 7, a clearance groove 10 longitudinally formed on the side of the engagement block 6 away from the adapter ring 3 for accommodating the positioning block 9, a positioning block 11 integrally formed at the bottom of the clearance groove 10 for longitudinally engaging the positioning block 9, and an elastic element provided in the clearance groove 10 to keep the positioning block 11 engaged with the positioning block 9. A clearance channel 20 is formed at the bottom of the clearance groove 10 corresponding to the position of the positioning block 11, communicating with the annular groove 15 to allow the positioning block 11 to retract. The elastic element is a spring piece 12 integrally formed at the upper end of the clearance channel 20. Both the spring piece 12 and the adapter ring 3 are made of plastic, thus possessing strong elasticity and corrosion resistance. The positioning block 11 is fixedly set on the side of the spring piece 12 near the slot 7.

[0037] In order to improve the docking efficiency and convenience of positioning block 19 and positioning block 21, a guide slope 13 is provided on the lower side of positioning block 19, and a guide slope 24 is provided on the upper side of positioning block 21 to cooperate with guide slope 13.

[0038] To achieve complete locking between the handle 2 and the pot body 1, a locking mechanism is provided between the adapter ring 3 and the pot body 4. When the pot body 4 and the adapter ring 3 are connected, the locking mechanism locks the pre-positioning mechanism to prevent the pre-positioning mechanism from unlocking the handle 2. Specifically, the annular groove 15 is connected to the side of the elastic element away from the second positioning block 11. The locking mechanism includes a locking protrusion 16 with a fixing ring located outside the opening 5. When the opening 5 is inserted into the annular groove 15, the locking protrusion 16 can press the side of the elastic element away from the second positioning block 11 to drive the second positioning block 11 to fasten the first positioning block 9, thereby eliminating the gap between the first positioning block 9 and the second positioning block 11 and blocking the retraction space of the second positioning block 11, so that the handle 2 is completely locked to the outside of the adapter ring 3 and the connection is stable.

[0039] To achieve complete locking between the kettle body 4 and the adapter ring 3, the side wall fixing ring of the ring groove 15 near the handle 2 is provided with a locking protrusion 16 to engage with and prevent the kettle body 4 from detaching from the adapter ring 3, thus preventing the kettle body 4 from detaching from the adapter ring 3. The locking protrusion 16 has a guide slope three 18 on the side away from the kettle body 4, and the anti-detachment protrusion 17 has a guide slope four 19 on the side near the kettle body 4, thereby effectively improving the docking efficiency and convenience of the locking protrusion 16 and the anti-detachment protrusion 17, and ensuring the stability of the connection between the two.

[0040] To improve the sealing between the adapter ring 3 and the body 4, a sealing ring 21 is provided at the bottom of the ring groove 15 for the side wall of the opening 5 of the body 4 to press against. The sealing ring 21 is made of silicone, so it has better sealing performance.

[0041] To improve the ease of use of the kettle, a lid 22 is fitted on the upper surface of the adapter ring 3. A spout 23 is provided on one side of the adapter ring 3. A water outlet channel 24 is provided on the lid 22 to connect the spout 23 and the kettle body 4 to achieve water outlet. Its specific structure and operating principle are common knowledge in the field and do not involve the improvement of this solution, so they will not be described in detail.

[0042] The specific operating principle is as follows:

[0043] When installing the kettle, with the adapter ring 3 separated from the kettle body 4, the slot 7 on the handle 2 slides longitudinally and engages with the engaging block 6, and is positioned by the limiting block 8. During this process, positioning block 1 9 and positioning block 2 11 can be engaged with the auxiliary cooperation between guide ramp 1 13 and guide ramp 2 14. During the engagement process, guide ramp 1 13 longitudinally presses guide ramp 2 14 to drive positioning block 2 11 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element and move backward. When the slot 7 and the engaging block 6 are fully engaged, the elastic element can drive positioning block 2 11 to engage with positioning block 1 9, thereby completing the pre-positioning of the handle 2.

[0044] At this point, the sealing ring 21 is inserted into the annular groove 15 of the adapter ring 3, and then the side wall of the opening 5 of the kettle body 4 is inserted into the annular groove 15. During this process, the locking protrusion 16 and the anti-detachment protrusion 17 can be engaged by means of the cooperation between the guide slope three 18 and the guide slope four 19 and overcoming their own elasticity. After the locking protrusion 16 and the anti-detachment protrusion 17 are engaged, they can reset under their own elasticity and complete the engagement, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the kettle body 4 and the adapter ring 3. In this state, the locking protrusion 16 can abut against the side of the elastic element away from the positioning block two 11 to seal the retraction space of the positioning block two 11, so that the positioning block two 11 can completely abut against the positioning block one 9, thereby locking the handle 2 and thus achieving the installation of the handle 2. In this way, the handle 2 and the kettle body 1 can be made of different materials to improve the aesthetics, and the handle 2 can be installed quickly and securely.
