Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettles, and more specifically, to an electric kettle. Background Technology

[0002] Electric kettles are a widely used household appliance, and their convenience is loved by consumers. However, most traditional electric kettles on the market today have a significant safety hazard: they lack an effective mechanism to prevent spillage when tipped over.

[0003] When an electric kettle containing hot water tipes over due to an accident (such as being knocked over, being placed unsteadily, or being accidentally dropped), the hot liquid inside will rapidly gush out through the spout under the influence of gravity and pressure. This instantaneous jet of hot water can easily cause serious burns to nearby users, especially the elderly and children, posing a significant safety risk. Although some kettles are designed with a lid-locking device, this design primarily prevents steam burns or accidental opening when the lid is opened, and does not effectively solve the core problem of liquid overflowing from the spout when the kettle tipes over. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the problem that traditional electric kettles lack an effective anti-overflow mechanism, this utility model provides an electric kettle, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0005] An electric kettle, including

[0006] The kettle body, on which a spout is provided;

[0007] A kettle lid, wherein a first space is formed between the kettle lid and the kettle body, and a first channel is provided inside the kettle lid. One end of the first channel is connected to the spout, and the other end of the first channel is connected to the first space. A partition is provided inside the first channel, and a first through hole is provided on the partition. Multiple inclined slides are provided inside the first channel.

[0008] A sealing block is disposed in the first channel and slidably connected to the slide rail. Multiple slide rails cooperate to support the sealing block. When the electric kettle is tilted, the sealing block slides along the slide rail and blocks the first through hole.

[0009] The aforementioned electric kettle features a first compartment for easy filling with tea. Through its tilting slide and sealing block design, when the kettle tip over, gravity immediately and quickly drives the sealing block to slide along the slide, precisely sealing the first through-hole in the partition, preventing boiling water from overflowing from the spout. This electric kettle solves the problem of traditional electric kettles lacking an effective tipping-out spill prevention mechanism.

[0010] Furthermore, the lid includes a sleeve and a lid body, the first channel is disposed in the lid body, one end of the sleeve is inserted into the end of the first channel that communicates with the first space, the other end of the sleeve is provided with a second through hole in the first space, and the sleeve is connected to the lid body; the slide is disposed in the sleeve, and the sealing block is inserted in the sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer contour of the sealing block is shaped like a frustum.

[0012] Furthermore, the cover is provided with an opening communicating with the first channel and the first space; the cover is provided with a switch valve, which is used to control the communication state of the opening.

[0013] Furthermore, the kettle body is provided with a fixing block, and the kettle lid is provided with a hanging ear. When the kettle lid is rotated, the fixing block engages with the hanging ear.

[0014] Furthermore, the lid also includes a body and an outer shell fitted onto the body. The body is fitted with a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring.

[0026] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, an electric kettle according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a kettle body 1, a kettle lid 2, and a sealing block 3; the kettle body 1 is provided with a spout 4; a first space 5 is formed between the kettle lid 2 and the kettle body 1, and a first channel 6 is provided in the kettle lid 2. One end of the first channel 6 is connected to the spout 4, and the other end of the first channel 6 is connected to the first space 5. A partition 7 is provided in the first channel 6, and a first through hole 8 is provided on the partition 7. A plurality of inclined slides 9 are provided in the first channel 6; the sealing block 3 is disposed in the first channel 6 and slidably connected to the slides 9. The plurality of slides 9 cooperate to support the sealing block 3. When the electric kettle is tilted, the sealing block 3 slides along the slides 9 and blocks the first through hole 8.

[0028] The aforementioned electric kettle features a first space 5 for easy filling with tea. Through the design of the inclined slide 9 and the sealing block 3, when the kettle body 1 tilts, gravity immediately drives the sealing block 3 to automatically and quickly slide along the slide 9, precisely sealing the first through hole 8 on the partition 7, preventing boiling water from overflowing from the spout 4 through the first through hole 8 and the first channel 6. This electric kettle solves the problem of traditional electric kettles lacking an effective anti-overflow mechanism when tilting.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, in one embodiment, the lid 2 includes a sleeve 21 and a lid body 22. The first channel 6 is disposed within the lid body 22.

The sleeve 21 is connected to the lid body 22. The slide 9 is disposed within the sleeve 21, and the sealing block 3 is inserted within the sleeve 21. The outer contour of the sealing block 3 is shaped like a frustum. Thus, the separable structure of the sleeve 21 and the lid body 22 simplifies the processing and assembly process and reduces production costs. The frustum-shaped shape of the sealing block 3 forms a progressive sealing contact with the inner wall of the sleeve 21. During the downward movement driven by gravity when tilting, the position can be automatically corrected to avoid jamming and ensure high precision and smoothness of the sealing action.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the cover 22 is provided with an opening 11 communicating with the first channel 6 and the first space 5; the cover 22 is provided with a switch valve 12, which is used to control the communication state of the opening 11. Thus, by opening the switch valve 12, when slightly tilted, boiling water can flow through the opening 11 through the first channel 6 and out of the spout 4; by closing the switch valve 12, when the kettle body 1 is tilted, the sealing block 3 is immediately driven by gravity to automatically and quickly slide along the slide 9, accurately sealing the first through hole 8 on the partition 7, preventing boiling water from flowing through the first through hole 8 and the first channel 6 and overflowing from the spout 4.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the kettle body 1 is provided with a fixing block 13 and the kettle lid 2 is provided with a hanging ear 14. When the kettle lid 2 rotates, the fixing block 13 engages with the hanging ear 14.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment, the lid 22 further includes a body and a shell sleeved on the body. The body is sleeved with a first sealing ring 15 and a second sealing ring 16. The first sealing ring 15 is sealed to the body and the shell respectively; the second sealing ring 16 is sealed to the body. When the lid 2 is placed on the pot body 1, the second sealing ring 16 is sealed to the inner surface of the pot body 1.

[0033] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0034] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
