Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating electrical appliances, and in particular to a water heater with a sliding lid opening structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most common water heaters on the market, such as electric kettles, electric cups, thermos cups, car cups, and water dispensers, have either flip-top or screw-on lids. Flip-top kettles are prone to damage when opened due to excessive tilting angles, potentially bumping into surrounding objects, and they also take up more space. Screw-on lid kettles require manual rotation to open, which is relatively cumbersome, especially when operating with one hand.

[0003] In addition, most existing water heaters dispense water by tilting or by a protruding spout. Tilting can easily cause hot water to spill out and cause scalding, while protruding spouts take up space and affect the overall appearance. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] refer to Figures 1 to 7 A water heater with a sliding lid opening structure, comprising:

[0038] Water tank 1 is used to hold liquids such as water; a heating element 2 is provided at the bottom or below the water tank 1, which can heat the liquids such as water.

[0039] A top cover assembly 5 is disposed on the top of the water tank 1; a sealing ring or sealing gasket may be provided between the top cover assembly 5 and the water tank 1; and

[0040] The sliding cover assembly 6 is slidably connected to the top cover assembly 5; the sliding cover assembly 6 is provided with a water inlet 62, which is connected to the water tank 1 via a water pump 3.

[0041] refer to Figure 7 The top cover assembly 5 is provided with a convex rail 53, and the sliding cover assembly 6 is provided with a sliding groove 61 that cooperates with the convex rail 53, thereby realizing the sliding of the sliding cover assembly 6;

[0042] When water is needed, push the sliding cover assembly 6 to expose the water outlet 62. Place the water container under the water outlet 62, and then start the water pump 3. The water pump 3 drives the water to flow out of the water outlet 62. Even with one hand, the sliding cover assembly 6 can be pushed to move. In this way, there is no need to tilt the kettle when getting water. Water is dispensed by the water pump 3, which is more convenient and reduces the risk of steam burns, making it safer.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sliding cover assembly 6 is located above the top cover assembly 5;

[0044] In the first state, the sliding cover assembly 6 is aligned with the top cover assembly 5; in the second state, the sliding cover assembly 6 is offset from the top cover assembly 5.

[0045] The sliding cover assembly 6 can slide horizontally, thus switching between the first and second states. This makes it easier to open the water inlet 62 by sliding, and eliminates the need for a protruding spout structure, reducing space occupation and making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0046] refer to Figure 5 The top cover assembly 5 is provided with a first cavity 5a and a second cavity 5b;

[0047] The first cavity 5a is connected to the water tank 1. For example, the bottom wall of the first cavity 5a is provided with a first through hole 51, so that water can be added to the water tank 1. The first cavity 5a is provided with a first cover 52. When adding water, the first cover 52 needs to be lifted. After adding water, the first cover 52 is closed. The bottom edge of the first cover 52 is provided with a sealing ring. The second cavity 5b is provided with a second cover 54.

[0048] refer to Figure 5 The second cavity 5b is provided with a convex rail 53, which can protrude from the upper surface of the top cover assembly 5; the bottom of the sliding cover assembly 6 is provided with a sliding groove 61.

[0049] Thus, the top cover assembly 5 is divided into two cavities or regions. The first cavity 5a is used for adding water, and the second cavity 5b is used for setting up structures such as the convex rail 53. As a result, the two cavities form independent spaces or regions, which are independent and do not affect each other.

[0050] The first cap 52 is provided with a finger groove 521 to facilitate the removal of the first cap 52.

[0051] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Water pump 3 is located below water tank 1;

[0052] The water inlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 1 through the first water pipe 41;

[0053] The outlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the third water pipe 63 of the sliding cover assembly 6 via the second water pipe 42, and the third water pipe 63 is connected to the water inlet 62. The second water pipe 42 passes through the second cavity 5b and then connects to the third water pipe 63.

[0054] Water pump 3 can be tilted to save space;

[0055] The second water pipe 42 and the third water pipe 63 can be connected by a pipe fitting 7, such as a 90-degree two-way pipe fitting 7. All of the aforementioned water pipes are flexible hoses.

[0056] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The sliding cover assembly 6 is provided with an upper cavity 6a and a lower cavity 6b;

[0057] The upper cavity 6a is provided with a circuit board 64; a display panel 65 is provided above or on the top of the upper cavity 6a. The display panel 65 can display information such as temperature and working status. The display panel 65 may be provided with buttons such as heating switch and water dispensing switch.

[0058] The lower cavity 6b is provided with a water inlet 62 and a third water pipe 63;

[0059] Thus, the upper cavity 6a and the lower cavity 6b form two independent spaces or regions, which are independent and do not affect each other.

[0060] To facilitate the movement of the sliding cover assembly 6, the sliding cover assembly 6 can be equipped with a handle or other force-applying structure.

[0061] A sealing strip can be provided on the edge of the sliding cover assembly 6. When the sliding cover assembly 6 is in the first state, it can form a certain sealing connection with the top cover assembly 5, reducing the entry of dust and the leakage of steam.

[0062] The inner wall of water tank 1 is equipped with water level markings to facilitate users' observation of the water level.

[0063] The bottom of the water tank 1 is inclined, and the lowest point of the water tank 1 is connected to the first water pipe 41 to ensure that the water in the water tank 1 can flow out completely.

[0064] Water tank 1 is cylindrical, waist-shaped, drum-shaped, or square in shape.

[0065] A water outlet control valve can be installed at the connection between the water tank 1 and the first water pipe 41 to control the flow of water, further improving safety and reducing accidental activation. Alternatively, the water outlet control valve can be located at the water inlet 62.

[0066] It also includes a housing 8, a water tank 1, a water pump 3 and other components located inside the housing 8. The housing 8 may be equipped with a power interface, which is connected to a power board. The power board may be located below the water tank 1. Heating switches, water dispensing switches and other buttons may also be located on the side wall of the housing 8.

[0067] The outer casing (8) is made of plastic, and the water tank (1) is made of food-grade stainless steel. The kettle is cylindrical in shape, approximately 30cm high and 9cm in diameter. The water tank (1) has a capacity of approximately 0.45L, which is sufficient for daily water needs.

[0068] The convex rail 53 is a T-shaped guide rail, and the sliding cover assembly 6 can slide to one side.

[0069] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0070] 1. Convenient opening: It adopts a sliding (push-pull) opening structure. Compared with the traditional flip-top and screw-top opening, the sliding operation is simpler and takes up less space. It can be easily operated even in a small space, avoiding collisions with surrounding objects when opening the lid.

[0071] 2. Safe and accurate water dispensing: Water is drawn by a water pump, so users do not need to tilt the water heater to dispense water, effectively preventing hot water from spilling and causing scalding.

[0072] 3. Reasonable structure: The water level scale on the inner wall of the water tank makes it easy for users to observe the water level; the sloping design at the bottom of the water tank ensures that the water can flow out completely and reduce residue.

[0073] The above description only discloses some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
