[0022] The following describes a specific embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment.

[0023] The structure of the lid 10 of a kettle according to this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lid is rotatably connected to the lid body at the upper port of the kettle body 20, and the rear end is fixed to the inner wall of the kettle body 20. A torsion spring 171 is provided between the lid body and the mounting base 17 to help the lid body open in the unlocked state. In this way, the lid body can automatically flip up and open under the action of the torsion spring 171 when it is in the unlocked state.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lid body includes a lid portion 11 that covers the upper port of the pot body 20, and a neck 12 connected to the lid portion 11 and extending into the upper port of the pot body 20. The top of the lid portion 11 is a button assembly 13 that can be pressed downwards. A slider 14 is horizontally slidable below the button assembly 13 within the neck 12. The neck 12 has a resting surface 122 for the slider 14, and a locking opening 121 is provided on the peripheral wall of the neck 12 for the front end of the slider 14 to extend out. The lid body is locked onto the rim 21 of the upper port of the pot body 20 by the slider 14 extending out through the locking opening 121. A rotatable rocker arm 15 is provided between the button assembly 13 and the slide bar 14. The rocker arm 15 includes a first arm 151 that is linked to the button assembly 13 and a second arm 152 that is bent and linked to the first arm 151 and linked to the slide bar 14. The rocker arm 15 is configured such that when the button assembly 13 is pressed down, the first arm 151 can be pressed down to make the rocker arm 15 rotate backward. During the backward rotation of the rocker arm 15, the second arm 152 is linked to the slide bar 14 and slides back into the locking slot 121 to disengage from the mouth edge 21 of the upper port of the pot body 20 to unlock. At this time, the lid body automatically flips up and opens under the action of the torsion spring 171.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of the cover 11 is recessed downward to form a cavity 111, and a through hole 112 is provided in the middle of the bottom wall of the cavity 111; the button assembly 13 includes a housing 131 embedded in the cavity 111 and a pressure cover 132 movably installed in the housing 131. The pressure cover 132 is provided with a linkage member 133 extending through the through hole 112. The end of the linkage member 133 located below the through hole 112 has a pin 1331. The first arm 151 of the rocker arm 15 is provided with a linkage hole 1511 through which the pin 1331 of the linkage member 133 passes, and so on. When the pressure cap 132 is pressed down and moves within the housing 131, it can drive the linkage 133 to move downward synchronously. At the same time, the linkage 133, through the pin 1331 and the linkage hole 1511, can drive the first arm 151 to press down and cause the rocker arm 15 and its second arm 152 to flip backward. Preferably, a second spring 134 is provided between the bottom wall of the cavity 111 and the pressure cap 132. The second spring 134 makes the pressure cap 132 always have the tendency to move upward and reset. In this way, the pressure cap 132 can automatically reset without the action of external force so as to facilitate the next pressing operation.

[0026] In this embodiment, the slide bar 14 is provided with a slot for the second arm 152 of the rocker arm 15 to be inserted. When the second arm 152 of the rocker arm 15 flips backward, it can act on the rear wall of the slot to push the slide bar 14 to slide backward. This allows the front end of the slide bar 14 to retract into the locking slot 121 of the neck 12, so that the slide bar 14 is disengaged from the rim 21 of the pot body 20. At the same time, under the action of the torsion spring 171 between the mounting base 17 and the lid body, the lid body can automatically flip upward and open.

[0027] In the above scheme, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, to ensure the reliability of the horizontal directional sliding movement of the slider 14 on the resting surface 122, in some specific embodiments, the resting surface 122 preferably has constraint frames 123 on both sides corresponding to the slider 14, and the two constraint frames 123 cooperate to form a sliding opening for constraining the sliding of the slider 14; in other specific embodiments, the slider 14 has a stroke opening 141, and the resting surface 122 is correspondingly provided with a push plate frame 124 placed in the stroke opening 141, so that the push plate frame 124 and the stroke opening are connected. The 141 engagement not only ensures the movement trajectory of the slider 14, but also limits the movement stroke of the slider 14. In this embodiment, the groove on the slider 14 and the stroke opening 141 are connected to the same opening. At the same time, a first spring 16 abuts between the push plate frame 124 and the stroke opening 141. The first spring 16 makes the slider 14 always have the tendency to move forward to extend the locking opening 121. In this way, the slider 14 can engage with the rim 21 of the pot body 20 under no external force to ensure that the lid body is securely covered on the pot body 20.

[0028] In the above scheme, a number of arc-shaped protrusions 125 are provided at intervals on the resting surface 122 to abut against the bottom surface of the slider 14, which effectively improves the smoothness of the movement of the slider 14 on the resting surface 122.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has a simple and reasonable structure and is easy to open. Simply press down on the button assembly to drive the rocker arm to rotate and push the slide bar to unlock. Then the cover body will automatically flip up and open under the action of the torsion spring.

[0030] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely examples of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
