[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides an embodiment of a pour-over kettle with controllable flow rate, comprising a kettle body 1. A handle 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the kettle body 1. The handle 2 has four recesses on the side near the kettle body 1, following ergonomic principles to make the grip more natural and comfortable, reducing fatigue from prolonged holding. A rubber sleeve is fixedly fitted onto the handle 2, utilizing the frictional properties of rubber to enhance anti-slip performance, preventing the kettle from slipping during use and improving grip comfort. A spout 3 is fixedly inserted through the other side of the kettle body 1. The channel of the spout 3 communicates with the internal space of the kettle body 1, ensuring that the liquid inside the kettle body 1 can flow smoothly out through the spout 3 to complete the brewing action. A movable, openable lid 4 is provided at the top of the kettle body 1, which serves to seal the internal space of the kettle body 1. A rectangular groove 42 is provided at the top of the lid 4, and a slider 43 is slidably installed within the groove 42. A vent hole 421 is provided within the groove 42. By pushing the slider 43, the vent hole 421 in the groove 42 can be opened and closed to balance the air pressure inside the kettle body 1 and the outside.

[0032] Reference Figures 2 to 4 Crucially, the kettle body 1 is equipped with a flow control component 5 to control the water flow rate. The flow control component 5 includes a flow control ring 51 located at the bottom of the kettle body 1. The flow control ring 51 has an inverted trapezoidal notch 511 at the water outlet. Its shape is designed so that when the flow control ring 51 rotates relative to the water outlet of the kettle body 1, it changes the water flow area of ​​the outlet, thereby achieving precise control of the water flow rate. For example, when the overlapping area between the inverted trapezoidal notch 511 and the water outlet is large, the flow rate is fast; when the overlapping area is small, the flow rate is slow. Connecting rods 52 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the flow control ring 51. The connecting rods 52 extend to the opening of the kettle body 1, and a rotating ring 53 is fixed at their top. Rotating the rotating ring 53 drives the flow control ring 51 to rotate synchronously via the connecting rods 52. This changes the relative position of the inverted trapezoidal notch 511 and the water outlet of the kettle body 1, thus achieving flow rate adjustment.

[0033] Furthermore, a fixing block 531 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the rotating ring 53 by welding or riveting. The fixing block 531 protrudes downward, and limiting blocks 11 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the pot body 1 on both sides of the fixing block 531. The installation height of the limiting blocks 11 is adapted to the fixing block 531. When the rotating ring 53 drives the fixing block 531 to rotate, the limiting blocks 11 can block the rotation trajectory of the fixing block 531 from both sides, thereby limiting the rotation range of the rotating ring 53, avoiding excessive rotation of the rotating ring 53 which could damage the structure of the flow control component 5 or cause the flow rate control to fail, and ensuring stable and controllable flow control operation.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The outer wall of the rotating ring 53 is provided with several grooves 532 arranged in a circular array. A protrusion 41, which matches the grooves 532, is fixedly installed on the arc-shaped inner wall of the bottom of the lid 4. When the lid 4 is closed on the pot body 1, the protrusion 41 can engage with the grooves 532. At this time, the lid 4 and the rotating ring 53 form a linkage structure. When the user rotates the lid 4, the lid 4, through the cooperation of the protrusion 41 and the grooves 532, drives the rotating ring 53 to rotate. The flow rate can be adjusted without opening the lid 4, simplifying the usage process and improving ease of operation. In addition, a retaining ring 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the pot body 1 to assist the lid 4 in closing better, enhance the stability of the lid 4 after closing, and reduce the possibility of the lid 4 loosening or shifting during use.

[0035] Working principle: The kettle body 1 serves as the main body, with an ergonomic handle 2 on one side. Its concave design and rubber sleeve can improve grip comfort and enhance anti-slip properties; the spout 3 on the other side connects to the inside of the kettle body for brewing water; the top lid 4 can be opened and closed, and the vent 421 in the rectangular groove 42 is controlled by the slider 43 to achieve air pressure balance inside and outside the kettle and ensure smooth water flow.

[0036] The core flow control component 5 is located inside the kettle body 1, achieving precise flow rate adjustment through ingenious structural design. The overlapping area of ​​the inverted trapezoidal notch 511 on the flow control ring 51 and the water outlet can change with the rotation of the rotating ring 53, thereby controlling the water flow speed. The fixing block 531 on the inner side of the rotating ring 53 is restricted by the limiting block 11 to prevent excessive rotation and ensure stable flow control. At the same time, the protrusion 41 at the bottom of the kettle lid 4 and the groove 532 on the outer wall of the rotating ring 53 form a linkage structure. When the lid is closed, rotating the kettle lid will drive the rotating ring to adjust the flow rate, eliminating the need to open the lid and greatly improving convenience. The retaining ring 12 at the top of the kettle body 1 helps to securely close the kettle lid, enhancing stability during operation.

[0037] This pour-over kettle combines ergonomic design, precise flow control, and convenient operation. It not only meets the personalized needs of different beverage brewing for water flow speed, but also improves the user experience through structural optimization, bringing users an efficient and comfortable brewing experience.

[0038] 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.
