The kettle body has a storage cavity for containing liquid and a first interface communicating with the storage cavity. The first valve core is axially mounted on the kettle body along the first interface. When the first valve core opens the first interface, the first interface is in a conductive state; when the first valve core closes the first interface, the first interface is in a closed state. The first elastic element is disposed between the kettle body and the first valve core, and along the axial direction of the first interface, the first elastic element is configured to apply an elastic force away from the storage cavity to the first valve core.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water purification equipment technology, and in particular to a water storage component for a kettle and a water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] As people's pursuit of a healthy and high-quality life continues to increase, the demand for water purifiers, which integrate water purification and drinking functions, is growing in the market. Water purifiers use multi-stage filter cartridges and physical filtration methods such as filtration, adsorption, and reverse osmosis to purify water, effectively removing impurities, odors, heavy metals, bacteria, and other pollutants, providing users with clean and hygienic drinking water.

[0003] In related technologies, some water purifiers are equipped with a water tank structure for storing purified water. This allows purified water to be pre-filled, eliminating waiting time, especially when using large amounts of water, making it convenient and quick. However, the water tank structures currently used in water purifiers do not have good sealing properties, making them prone to tipping over and spilling, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a kettle to address the aforementioned problems.

[0005] A kettle includes:

[0006] The vessel body has a storage cavity for containing liquid, and the vessel body also has a first interface communicating with the storage cavity.

[0007] The first valve core is axially mounted on the kettle body along the first interface, so that the first valve core opens and closes the first interface. When the first valve core opens the first interface, the first interface is in a conductive state, and when the first valve core closes the first interface, the first interface is in a closed state.

[0008] A first elastic element is disposed between the vessel body and the first valve core, and along the axial direction of the first interface. The first elastic element is configured to apply an elastic force away from the storage cavity to the first valve core to close the first interface.

[0009] The kettle described above is equipped with a first valve core and a first elastic element. The first elastic element applies a pre-tightening force to the first valve core. When there is no external driving force (such as when the kettle is detached from the water purifier), the first valve core closes to seal the first interface, ensuring no leakage of liquid inside the kettle. When it is necessary to connect to a device (such as a water purifier) ​​for filling, the first mating connector on the device opens the first valve core, connecting the first mating connector to the first interface. This design enables automatic opening and closing of the kettle when it is installed or removed from a device (such as a water purifier), greatly improving the kettle's ease of use and sealing safety.

[0056] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0057] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0058] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0059] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0060] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0061] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0062] See Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the kettle 100 according to this application includes a kettle body 1, a first valve core 2, and a first elastic member 3. The kettle body 1 has a storage cavity 110a for containing liquid, and also has a first interface 110b communicating with the storage cavity 110a. The first valve core 2 is axially mounted on the kettle body 1 along the first interface 110b, allowing the first valve core 2 to open and close the first interface 110b. When the first valve core 2 opens the first interface 110b, the first interface 110b is in a conductive state, allowing liquid (e.g., purified water) to flow into the storage cavity 110a through the first interface 110b, and allowing liquid stored in the storage cavity 110a to flow out of the storage cavity 110a (i.e., out of the kettle 100) through the first interface 110b. When the first valve core 2 closes the first interface 110b, the first interface 110b is in a closed state, thus ensuring the airtightness of the storage cavity 110a.

[0063] Furthermore, the first elastic element 3 is disposed between the kettle body 1 and the first valve core 2 along the axial direction of the first interface 110b. The first elastic element 3 is configured to apply an elastic force to the first valve core 2 away from the storage cavity 110a, so that the first valve core 2 is normally kept in a closed state. Thus, when the first interface 110b needs to be in a conductive state, an external force toward the storage cavity 110a needs to be applied to the first valve core 2, and the applied external force should be greater than the elastic force applied to the first valve core 2 by the first elastic element 3, so that the first valve core 2 moves toward the storage cavity 110a to open the first interface 110b, thereby achieving the effect of the first interface 110b being in a conductive state, that is, achieving the effect of selectively connecting the storage cavity 110a with the external environment of the kettle 100. In addition, since the first elastic member 3 is configured to apply an elastic force away from the storage cavity 110a to the first valve core 2, when there is no external force to drive the first valve core 2 to open, the first elastic member 3 keeps the first valve core 2 in a closed state, so as to maintain the first interface 110b in a closed state.

[0064] See Figures 11 to 13 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the kettle 100 according to this application is used in a water purifier 2000 as an example. See also... Figures 14 to 15As shown, the water purifier 2000 may include a water storage component 1000, which includes a kettle 100 according to this application, and a mounting base 200. The mounting base 200 includes a base body 201 and a first mating connector 202. The base body 201 has a receiving space 2010 for accommodating the kettle 100. The first mating connector 202 is disposed on the base body 201 and is mated with a first interface 110b. The first mating connector 202 is used to drive a first valve core 2, causing the first valve core 2 to open and connect the first interface 110b. It should be noted that this application uses the kettle 100 in the water purifier 2000 as an example for illustration, but this application is not limited to this; the kettle 100 can also be used in other devices that require a kettle 100.

[0065] For example, in combination Figures 1 to 15 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, when the kettle 100 is installed into the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200 (i.e., when the kettle 100 is assembled into the water purifier 2000), the first mating connector 202 mates with the first interface 110b, achieving the effect of connecting the first mating connector 202 with the first interface 110b. Furthermore, during the mating process of the first mating connector 202 and the first interface 110b, the first mating connector 202 also applies a force to the first valve core 2 towards the storage cavity 110a, causing the first valve core 2 to switch from a closed state to an open state under the driving action of the first mating connector 202, making the first mating connector 202 and the first interface 110b connected. That is, after the kettle 100 is assembled into the receiving space 2010, the first interface 110b is in a conductive state. It should be understood that when both ends of the first mating connector 202 are connected to the first interface 110b and the water outlet pipe of the water purifier 2000 respectively, the first mating connector 202 is configured for water supply. When the first interface 110b is in the conducting state, the purified water produced by the water purifier 2000 can be transported through the water outlet pipe. At least a portion of the purified water flows to the first interface 110b through the first mating connector 202, and then the purified water flows into the storage cavity 110a of the kettle body 1 through the first interface 110b for storage, thereby realizing the effect of the kettle 100 for storing the purified water produced by the water purifier 2000.

[0066] When the kettle 100 is detached from the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200 (i.e., when the kettle 100 is detached from the water purifier 2000), the first mating connector 202 separates from the first interface 110b. During the separation process, the first mating connector 202 is unable to continue applying force to the first valve core 2 towards the storage cavity 110a, causing the first valve core 2 to switch from the open state to the closed state under the action of the first elastic element 3. This achieves the effect of the first interface 110b automatically switching from the conducting state to the closed state after being separated from the first mating connector 202, thus preventing purified water stored in the storage cavity 110a from passing through the kettle 100 via the first interface 110b, ensuring the airtightness of the kettle 100. In this way, the user can detach the kettle 100 from the water purifier 2000 for use.

[0067] In summary, the kettle 100 according to this application is equipped with a first valve core 2 and a first elastic element 3. The first elastic element 3 applies a pre-tightening force to the first valve core 2. When there is no external driving force (such as when the kettle 100 is detached from the water purifier 2000), the first valve core 2 closes to seal the first interface 110b, ensuring that the liquid inside the kettle 100 does not leak. When it is necessary to connect to a device (such as the water purifier 2000) for water filling, the first mating connector 202 located on the device opens the first valve core 2, enabling the first mating connector 202 to connect with the first interface 110b. This design enables the kettle 100 to automatically open and close when detached from or installed in a device (such as the water purifier 2000), greatly improving the convenience of use and sealing safety of the kettle 100.

[0068] It should also be noted that, since the kettle 100 is detachably mounted on the water purifier 2000, the water purifier 2000 can store the purified water it produces in the kettle 100 when not in use. This allows users to directly use the purified water stored in the kettle 100 without waiting, thus enabling the water purifier 2000 equipped with the kettle 100 according to this application to store water for future use. Furthermore, since the first port 110b of the kettle 100 has an automatic closing capability, the kettle 100 maintains good sealing when detached from the water purifier 2000, allowing users to carry the kettle 100 with them. In other words, the kettle 100 can be used as an independent kettle after being detached from the water purifier 2000.

[0069] See Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first valve core 2 may include a first shaft core 21 and a first protrusion 22, with the first protrusion 22 disposed on the first shaft core 21. The first shaft core 21 passes through the first interface 110b, the first protrusion 22 is located outside the storage cavity 110a, and the first elastic member 3 is disposed between the first protrusion 22 and the vessel body 1. Furthermore, the first valve core 2 may also include a first sealing member 23, which is disposed on the first shaft core 21. The first shaft core 21 drives the first sealing member 23 to move to open and close the first interface 110b.

[0070] For example, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first elastic element 3 is located between the first protrusion 22 and the pot body 1 along the axial direction of the first valve core 2. For example, the first elastic element 3 is constructed as an elastic element with a through hole in the middle, such as a helical spring, so that the first elastic element 3 can be sleeved on the first shaft core 21. When the first valve core 2 is assembled with the first interface 110b, the first elastic element 3 is elastically supported between the first protrusion 22 and the pot body 1, that is, the first elastic element 3 is elastically supported between the pot body 1 and the first shaft core 21. It should be further noted that the first elastic element 3 is sleeved on the first shaft core 21, so that the first elastic element 3 and the first valve core 2 are more compact in the assembled state.

[0071] Since the first elastic element 3 is located between the first protrusion 22 and the kettle body 1, when the kettle 100 is inserted into the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200 (i.e., when the kettle 100 is assembled into the water purifier 2000), the first mating joint 202 pushes the first shaft core 21 toward the storage cavity 110a, and the first shaft core 21 drives the first sealing element 23 to move toward the storage cavity 110a, thereby achieving the effect of the first valve core 2 opening the first interface 110b. During this process, the first protrusion 22 presses against the first elastic element 3 axially in the first interface 110b, causing the first elastic element 3 to be under pressure. When the kettle 100 is removed from the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200 (that is, when the kettle 100 is removed from the water purifier 2000), since the first mating joint 202 does not exert a force on the first shaft core 21 to move toward the storage cavity 110a, the first elastic member 3, which was previously under pressure, pushes the first protrusion 22 to move toward the direction away from the storage cavity 110a, so that the first shaft core 21 drives the first seal 23 to move toward the first interface 110b, thereby achieving the effect of the first seal 23 closing the first interface 110b.

[0072] It should be further explained that, in the above embodiment, the first elastic member 3 is disposed between the first protrusion 22 and the kettle body 1 as an example. Thus, when the kettle 100 is assembled with the water purifier 2000, the first elastic member 3 is in a compressed state. However, this application is not limited to this. For example, the first elastic member 3 is disposed axially in the first interface 110b on the side of the first valve core 2 opposite to the storage cavity 110a. When the kettle 100 is assembled with the water purifier 2000, the first elastic member 3 is in a stretched state, allowing the first seal 23 to move into the storage cavity 110a to open the first interface 110b; when the kettle 100 is removed from the water purifier 2000, the first elastic member recovers its deformation to shorten, allowing the first seal 23 to reset and close the first interface 110b.

[0073] For example, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first shaft core 21 has an overall cylindrical structure, wherein a first protrusion 22 disposed on the first shaft core 21 protrudes outward along the radial direction of the first shaft core 21. Furthermore, the first protrusion 22 and the first seal 23 are axially spaced apart from each other on the first shaft core 21. When the first shaft core 21 is assembled to the first interface 110b, the first protrusion 22 is located outside the storage cavity 110a, and the first seal 23 may be located inside the storage cavity 110a and / or inside the first interface 110b, so that the first seal 23 is used to close the first interface 110b.

[0074] For example, see Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the first interface 110b is constructed as a through hole of equal diameter. When the first shaft core 21 is assembled into the first interface 110b, the first sealing member 23 is located inside the storage cavity 110a. Furthermore, in the axial direction of the first interface 110b, the orthographic projection of the first interface 110b lies within the orthographic projection of the first sealing member 23, meaning the size of the first sealing member 23 is larger than the size of the first interface 110b, so that the first sealing member 23 is suitable for abutting against the inner wall of the storage cavity 110a. The abutment of the first sealing member 23 against the inner wall of the storage cavity 110a not only covers the first interface 110b to achieve the effect of closing it, but also limits the movement of the first valve core 2 and the vessel body 1 in the axial direction of the first interface 110b, thereby preventing the first valve core 2 from completely moving out of the first interface 110b and improving the reliability of the first valve core 2 in closing the first interface 110b.

[0075] Of course, in some embodiments of this application, the construction of the first interface 110b is not limited to a through hole of equal diameter. For example, in another embodiment, the first interface 110b is constructed as a stepped hole, and the stepped surface of the first interface 110b faces the storage cavity 110a. In this way, the size of the first shaft core 21 is adapted to the size of the small hole segment in the first interface 110b, so that the first shaft core 21 can be movably inserted into the first interface 110b, and the size of the first sealing member 23 is adapted to the size of the large hole segment in the first interface 110b, so that the first sealing member 23 moves into the large hole segment of the first interface 110b to close the first interface 110b, and when the first sealing member 23 abuts against the stepped surface of the first interface 110b, it can also achieve the effect of abutment and limiting.

[0076] In another embodiment, when the first interface 110b is constructed as a stepped hole, the stepped surface of the first interface 110b can also be positioned away from the storage cavity 110a. When the stepped surface of the first interface 110b is positioned away from the storage cavity 110a, the first sealing member 23 located within the storage cavity 110a is adapted to abut against the inner wall of the storage cavity 110a. This not only covers the first interface 110b to achieve the effect of closing the first interface 110b, but also limits the first valve core 2 and the vessel body 1 in the axial direction of the first interface 110b, thereby preventing the first valve core 2 from completely moving out of the first interface 110b and improving the reliability of the first valve core 2 closing the first interface 110b. The stepped surface of the first interface 110b can then be used to support the first elastic member 3. For example, in the axial direction of the first interface 110b, one end of the first elastic member 3 is connected to the stepped surface of the first interface 110b, and the other end of the first elastic member 3 is connected to the first protrusion 22, so that the first elastic member 3 is supported between the stepped surface (i.e., the pot body 1) of the first interface 110b and the first protrusion 22 (i.e., the first valve core 2).

[0077] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first valve core 2 is provided with at least one flow channel 210. Along the axial direction of the first shaft core 21, one end of the flow channel 210 is located on the side of the first protrusion 22 away from the first seal 23, and the other end of the flow channel 210 is located facing the first seal 23. When the first seal 23 opens the first interface 110b, liquid can flow from the port of the flow channel 210 near the first protrusion 22 to the other end of the flow channel 210, so that the liquid eventually flows into the storage cavity 110a. By providing the flow channel 210 in the first shaft core 21, liquid can flow into the storage cavity 110a through the flow channel 210, thus increasing the flow rate of liquid through the first interface 110b with a limited diameter.

[0078] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first shaft core 21 includes a first shaft core body 211 and at least two first guide fluids 212. The first guide fluids 212 are disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the first shaft core body 211, extending axially along the first shaft core body 211, and a plurality of first guide fluids 212 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the first shaft core body 211 to form a guide channel 210. Additionally, the first protrusion 22 is constructed as an annular body, and the first protrusion 22 is sleeved on the outside of the first guide fluids 212. For example, in conjunction with... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first shaft core 21 includes a first shaft core body 211 and four first guide fluids 212. The four first guide fluids 212 are all disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the first shaft core body 211, and the four first guide fluids 212 are arranged in sequence at intervals in the circumference of the first shaft core body 211, so that four guide channels 210 in the groove shape are formed on the outer periphery of the first shaft core 21.

[0079] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in the axial direction of the first shaft core 21, the first guide fluid 212 abuts against the first seal 23. Specifically, the end face of the first guide fluid 212 near the storage cavity 110a is fixedly connected to or tightly fitted with the first seal 23, so that the first guide fluid 212 synchronously drives the first seal 23 to move during the axial movement of the first shaft core 21.

[0080] For example, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, when the first shaft core 21 is driven by an external force to move towards the storage cavity 110a (for example, when the kettle 100 is assembled into the water purifier 2000), the first guide fluid 212 pushes the first sealing element 23 to move away from the first interface 110b simultaneously, thereby achieving the effect of opening the first interface 110b. Conversely, when the first elastic element 3 drives the first shaft core 21 to move away from the storage cavity 110a (for example, when the kettle 100 is removed from the water purifier 2000), the first guide fluid 212 can drive the first sealing element 23 to reset to abut against the inner wall of the storage cavity 110a or the stepped surface of the first interface 110b, achieving a reliable seal.

[0081] Combination Figure 4As shown, in the axial direction of the first shaft core 21, a first engaging groove 2110 extending circumferentially is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the end of the first shaft core body 211 near the storage cavity 110a. The first sealing member 23 is constructed as an annular sealing ring (e.g., an O-ring), and its inner ring is engaged and fixed in the first engaging groove 2110 to form an interference fit. Thus, when the first shaft core 21 moves axially, the engaging relationship between the first engaging groove 2110 and the first sealing member 23 enables the first shaft core 21 to synchronously drive the first sealing member 23.

[0082] For example, in combination Figure 4 As shown, in the assembled state, a portion of the structure of the first seal 23 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the first shaft core body 211, enabling it to form a sealing contact with the inner wall of the storage cavity 110a (when the first interface 110b is a through hole of equal diameter) or the stepped surface of the first interface 110b (when the first interface 110b is a stepped hole). When the first valve core 2 is opened or closed by an external force, the side wall of the first snap-fit ​​groove 2110 provides axial restraint for the first seal 23, ensuring that the seal moves precisely with the shaft core.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the first seal 23 is made of rubber (e.g., silicone, nitrile rubber, or EPDM rubber). Rubber materials possess excellent elastic deformation capacity and wear resistance. When the first seal 23 abuts against the inner wall of the storage cavity 110a (when the first interface 110b is a through hole of equal diameter) or the stepped surface of the first interface 110b (when the first interface 110b is a stepped hole), it can elastically fill the microscopic gaps to form a reliable liquid seal. Furthermore, during the assembly of the first valve core 2 into the first interface 110b, the operator can compress the first seal 23 to a smaller size so that the first seal 23 can pass through the first interface 110b and be moved into the storage cavity 110a, facilitating the assembly of the first valve core 2.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, the first seal 23 is detachably mounted to the first shaft core 21. This design facilitates replacement and maintenance when the seal ages or is damaged.

[0085] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the kettle body 1 includes a kettle body 11 and a first connector 12, with the first connector 12 disposed on the kettle body 11. The kettle body 11 contains a storage cavity 110a and a first interface 110b. The first connector 12 contains a first through hole 120 communicating with the first interface 110b, and a portion of the first valve core 2 is located within the first through hole 120. The first valve core 2 has at least one flow channel 210. The kettle 100 also includes an operating member 4, which is assembled to the first connector 12 and connected to the first valve core 2 (e.g., through contact, fixed connection, movable connection, etc.). The operating member 4 is adapted to move axially along the first through hole 120 to drive the first valve core 2 to move axially along the first through hole 120.

[0086] For example, the operating member 4 is movably mounted on the first connector 12, and at least a portion of the structure of the operating member 4 is located within the first through hole 120, with the portion of the operating member 4 located within the first through hole 120 directly abutting against the first valve core 2 (particularly the first shaft core 21 or the first protrusion 22). When the user drives the operating member 4 axially along the first through hole 120, the operating member 4 pushes the first valve core 2 to move towards the storage cavity 110a against the elastic force of the first elastic member 3, thereby opening the first interface 110b and allowing water to flow out sequentially through the first interface 110b and the guide channel 210; after the operating member 4 is reset, under the action of the first elastic member 3, the first valve core 2 resets and closes the first interface 110b.

[0087] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the operating element 4 is screwed to the first interface 110b, so that the operating element 4 can be rotatably assembled to the first connector 12, while realizing precise control of axial displacement.

[0088] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the operating member 4 includes a first sleeve 41, a second sleeve 42, and a connecting portion 43. The first sleeve 41 is sleeved outside the second sleeve 42 and spaced apart. The connecting portion 43 connects the first sleeve 41 and the second sleeve 42. The first sleeve 41 is sleeved outside the first interface 110b, and the second sleeve 42 is located inside the first through hole 120. The second sleeve 42 is configured to drive the first valve core 2 (for example, by driving the operating member 4 to move so that the second sleeve 42 abuts against the first valve core 2, and the first valve core 2 moves under the driving action of the operating member 4). Furthermore, the outer peripheral wall of the first interface 110b is provided with external threads, and the inner peripheral wall of the first sleeve 41 is provided with internal threads; or, the inner peripheral wall of the first interface 110b is provided with internal threads, and the outer peripheral wall of the second sleeve 42 is provided with external threads.

[0089] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the operating element 4 is connected to the first connector 12 via a threaded connection. Specifically, two implementation methods are included:

[0090] First implementation method (see reference) Figure 4 and Figure 6 (As shown in the figure): The outer peripheral wall of the first connector 12 is provided with external threads, and the inner peripheral wall of the first sleeve 41 is provided with internal threads. The first sleeve 41 is screwed onto the outer peripheral side of the first connector 12 by thread engagement. Second embodiment (not shown in the figure): The inner wall of the first through hole 120 of the first connector 12 is provided with internal threads, and the outer peripheral wall of the second sleeve 42 is provided with external threads. The second sleeve 42 is screwed into the first through hole 120 of the first connector 12 by thread engagement. When the user rotates the operating member 4, the operating member 4 screws in or out relative to the first connector 12 through the thread engagement. For example, when the operating member 4 is rotated clockwise, the operating member 4 moves towards the storage cavity 110a, causing the second sleeve 42 to push the first valve core 2 against the elastic force of the first elastic member 3 and move it into the storage cavity 110a, thereby achieving the effect of the first valve core 2 opening the first interface 110b. When the operating member 4 is rotated counterclockwise, moving it away from the storage cavity 110a, the first elastic member 3 pushes the first valve core 2 to reset, thus closing the first interface 110b. In this way, precise control of the axial displacement of the operating member 4 is achieved through threaded transmission. Furthermore, the threaded engagement structure itself has a self-locking characteristic, ensuring that the first valve core 2 remains stably in the open or closed position, preventing accidental opening due to vibration during transport.

[0091] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the kettle body 1 is further provided with a second interface 110c communicating with the storage cavity 110a. The kettle 100 also includes a second valve core 5 and a second elastic member 6. The second valve core 5 is axially mounted to the kettle body 1 along the second interface 110c, and the second valve core 5 is provided with at least one air passage, allowing the second valve core 5 to open and close the second interface 110c. When the second valve core 5 opens the second interface 110c, the second interface 110c is in a conductive state; when the second valve core 5 closes the second interface 110c, the second interface 110c is in a closed state. Furthermore, in the height direction, the second interface 110c is higher than the first interface 110b.

[0092] Furthermore, the second elastic element 6 is disposed between the kettle body 1 and the second valve core 5 along the axial direction of the second interface 110c. The second elastic element 6 is configured to apply an elastic force to the second valve core 5 away from the storage cavity 110a, so that the second valve core 5 is normally kept in a closed state. Thus, when the second interface 110c needs to be in a conductive state, an external force toward the storage cavity 110a needs to be applied to the second valve core 5, and the applied external force should be greater than the elastic force applied to the second valve core 5 by the second elastic element 6, so that the second valve core 5 moves toward the storage cavity 110a to open the second interface 110c, thereby achieving the effect of the second interface 110c being in a conductive state, that is, achieving the effect of selectively connecting the storage cavity 110a with the external environment of the kettle 100 through the second interface 110c. In addition, since the second elastic member 6 is configured to apply an elastic force away from the storage cavity 110a to the second valve core 5, when there is no external force to drive the second valve core 5 to open, the second elastic member 6 keeps the second valve core 5 in a closed state, so as to maintain the second interface 110c in a closed state.

[0093] It should be noted that the second port 110c acts as a vent. During the process of liquid being injected into or discharged from the storage cavity 110a through the first port 110b, the second port 110c helps to balance the air pressure inside and outside the storage cavity 110a. Specifically, when liquid is injected into the storage cavity 110a through the first port 110b, if the storage cavity 110a is in a closed state (i.e., the second port 110c is closed), the compressed air inside the storage cavity 110a may create positive pressure, hindering the smooth injection of liquid. Opening the second port 110c allows the gas inside the storage cavity 110a to escape, balancing the air pressure and ensuring smooth liquid injection. When liquid is discharged from the storage cavity 110a through the first port 110b, if the storage cavity 110a is in a closed state (i.e., the second port 110c is closed), negative pressure may form inside the storage cavity 110a, hindering the smooth discharge of liquid. Opening the second port 110c allows external air to enter the storage cavity 110a, balancing the air pressure and ensuring smooth liquid discharge.

[0094] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 ,as well as Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the mounting base 200 may further include a second mating connector 203. The second mating connector 203 is disposed on the base body 201. The second mating connector 203 is mated and connected to the second interface 110c, and the second mating connector 203 is used to drive the second valve core 5, causing the second valve core 5 to open the second interface 110c.

[0095] For example, in combination Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, when the kettle 100 is installed into the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200 (i.e., when the kettle 100 is assembled into the water purifier 2000), the second mating connector 203 engages with the second interface 110c to apply a force to the second valve core 5 toward the storage cavity 110a, so that the second valve core 5 switches from a closed state to an open state under the driving action of the second mating connector 203, making the second interface 110c conductive. That is, after the kettle 100 is assembled into the receiving space 2010, the second interface 110c is conductive, allowing the storage cavity 110a to communicate with the external environment, acting as a vent to ensure that liquid flows smoothly into or out of the storage cavity 110a through the first interface 110b.

[0096] When the kettle 100 is removed from the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200 (i.e., when the kettle 100 is removed from the water purifier 2000), the second mating connector 203 and the second valve core 5 separate. During the separation of the second mating connector 203 and the second valve core 5, the second mating connector 203 is unable to continue to apply a force toward the storage cavity 110a to the second valve core 5. Under the action of the second elastic member 6, the second valve core 5 switches from the open state to the closed state, and the second interface 110c switches from the conductive state to the closed state. This prevents external impurities from entering the storage cavity 110a through the second interface 110c or liquid in the storage cavity 110a from leaking through the second interface 110c, further ensuring the airtightness of the kettle 100.

[0097] In summary, the kettle 100 according to this application is equipped with a second interface 110c, a second valve core 5, and a second elastic element 6. The second interface 110c serves as a vent, and during water filling or draining operations through the first interface 110b, the conduction of the second interface 110c effectively balances the air pressure inside and outside the storage chamber 110a, ensuring smooth liquid flow. The second valve core 5 and the second elastic element 6 work together to allow the second interface 110c to automatically open when connected to a device (such as a water purifier 2000) and automatically and reliably close when the device is disconnected, maintaining the sealing of the kettle 100. This dual-valve core (first valve core 2 and second valve core 5) structure works in concert, further improving the ease of use, liquid flow efficiency, and overall sealing safety of the kettle 100 when it is installed or removed from a device.

[0098] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this application, the structure of the second valve core 5 is the same as that of the first valve core 2, so the second valve core 5 will not be described in detail here.

[0099] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the kettle body 11 includes a main body and a lid. The main body has a storage slot, and the lid is detachably attached to the main body, covering the opening of the storage slot to define the storage cavity 110a. It should be noted that designing the kettle body 11 as a detachable main body and lid structure greatly facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the kettle 100. Specifically, when cleaning the inside of the storage cavity 110a is required, the user can remove the lid from the main body, thus completely opening the storage slot. This allows the user to directly and thoroughly rinse or wipe the inside of the storage slot, effectively removing any residual liquid, scale, or impurities from the storage cavity 110a, ensuring its hygiene. After cleaning, the user reassembles the lid onto the body of the kettle 11, and the lid is placed back over the opening of the storage slot, thereby forming a closed storage cavity 110a again, ensuring the normal use and sealing of the kettle 100.

[0100] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the lid is fixedly assembled to the body 11 of the kettle by screws. The body 11 has multiple threaded holes at the edge of the storage compartment opening, and the lid has multiple through holes corresponding to these threaded holes. Screws pass through the through holes on the lid and are screwed into the threaded holes on the body 11, thereby firmly fixing the lid to the body 11. When the lid needs to be removed for cleaning, the user simply loosens and removes the screws to separate the lid from the body 11, exposing the entire opening of the storage compartment. After cleaning, the lid is aligned with the opening, the screws are reinserted and tightened to complete the assembly.

[0101] In summary, the kettle body 11 of this application adopts a split design of the main body 11 and a detachable lid, with the storage cavity 110a jointly defined by the storage slot of the main body 11 and the lid. This design allows the opening of the storage cavity 110a (i.e., the inside of the storage slot) to be fully exposed, greatly facilitating cleaning for the user and solving the problem of difficult cleaning in traditional one-piece kettles 100. Simultaneously, a reliable connection method (such as screw fixing) ensures the stability of the lid after assembly and the sealing of the storage cavity 110a, providing convenient cleaning without sacrificing the structural strength and normal performance of the kettle 100. This design significantly improves the usability and hygiene of the kettle 100.

[0102] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 12 and Figure 15As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first mating connector 202 includes a first connector sleeve 2021 and a first top tube 2022. The first top tube 2022 is disposed within the first connector sleeve 2021. Specifically, the first connector sleeve 2021 is constructed as a cylindrical structure, and its inner diameter is adapted to the outer diameter of the first connector 12 of the kettle 100 (if the kettle 100 is provided with an operating member 4, the inner diameter of the first connector sleeve 2021 is adapted to the size of the operating member 4). When the kettle 100 is installed into the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200 (i.e., when the kettle 100 is assembled into the water purifier 2000), the first connector sleeve 2021 is fitted onto the outside of the first connector 12 of the kettle 100. This sleeve-type connection structure enables the initial positioning and alignment of the first mating connector 202 and the first interface 110b, ensuring the accuracy and stability of their connection. The first jacking tube 2022 has a columnar structure and is fixedly or movably disposed inside the first connector sleeve 2021. When the first connector sleeve 2021 is fitted onto the outside of the first connector 12, the first jacking tube 2022 extends into the first connector 12, so that the end of the first jacking tube 2022 (i.e., the end near the storage cavity 110a of the kettle 100) abuts or aligns with the first valve core 2 (especially the first shaft core 21 or the first protrusion 22). During the assembly of the kettle 100, as the first connector sleeve 2021 is fitted onto the first connector 12, the first jacking tube 2022 simultaneously applies a force to the first valve core 2 toward the storage cavity 110a, driving the first valve core 2 to move against the elastic force of the first elastic member 3, thereby opening the first interface 110b.

[0103] For example, in combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, when the kettle 100 is installed into the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200, the first connector sleeve 2021 is first sleeved on the outside of the first connector 12 of the kettle 100 to achieve the initial connection and positioning of the first mating connector 202 and the first interface 110b.

[0104] During the process of the first connector sleeve 2021 being fitted into place, the first jacking tube 2022 disposed inside it moves synchronously, with its end pressing against the first valve core 2 (for example, pressing against the end of the first protrusion 22 or the first shaft core 21), pushing the first valve core 2 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 3 and move into the storage cavity 110a. The movement of the first valve core 2 causes the first sealing member 23 to move away from its sealing position (for example, moving away from the inner wall of the storage cavity 110a or the stepped surface of the first interface 110b), thereby opening the first interface 110b and putting the first interface 110b into a conductive state. At this time, the purified water produced by the water purifier 2000 can flow into the storage cavity 110a of the kettle body 1 through the water outlet pipe connected to the first mating connector 202 (specifically through the inside of the first top pipe 2022 (i.e., the purified water flows through the fluid channel formed inside the first top pipe 2022) or the flow channel between the first connector sleeve 2021 and the first top pipe 2022) and the first interface 110b.

[0105] In summary, the first mating connector 202 according to this application adopts a combined design of a first connector sleeve 2021 and a first jacking pipe 2022. The first connector sleeve 2021 is used to reliably connect and position with the first connector 12 of the kettle 100, ensuring a smooth and accurate docking process. The first jacking pipe 2022 is disposed inside the first connector sleeve 2021 and is specifically used to directly drive the first valve core 2 to actuate during the docking process, so as to reliably open the first interface 110b. This split design separates the positioning function from the driving function, which not only ensures the accuracy and stability of the docking, but also ensures the effectiveness and reliability of the valve core driving, further improving the efficiency and ease of operation of docking the kettle 100 and the mounting base 200 in the water storage assembly 1000, and ensuring the smooth opening of the liquid transmission channel. When the kettle 100 is removed from the mounting base 200, the first connector sleeve 2021 separates from the first connector 12, and the first top tube 2022 is released from its function on the first valve core 2. The first valve core 2 automatically resets and closes the first interface 110b under the action of the first elastic element 3.

[0106] In some embodiments of this application, the first mating connector 202 is used to extend into the first connector 12 of the kettle 100 to directly drive the first valve core 2 to actuate. Specifically, the first mating connector 202 is sized to be able to be inserted into the first connector 12 (if the kettle 100 is provided with an operating member 4, the first mating connector 202 is sized to be able to pass through the operating member 4 to extend into the first through hole 120 of the first connector 12).

[0107] When the kettle 100 is inserted into the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200 (i.e., when the kettle 100 is assembled into the water purifier 2000), the first mating connector 202 moves toward the first connector 12 and extends into the first through hole 120. During the insertion of the first mating connector 202 into the first through hole 120, its end (i.e., the end near the storage cavity 110a of the kettle 100) contacts and abuts against the first valve core 2 (particularly the end of the first shaft core 21 or the first protrusion 22) located within the first through hole 120. As the insertion continues, the first mating connector 202 applies a force to the first valve core 2 toward the storage cavity 110a. This force drives the first valve core 2 to overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member 3 and move axially toward the storage cavity 110a along the first interface 110b, thereby causing the first sealing member 23 to move away from its sealing position, ultimately achieving the effect of opening the first interface 110b and putting the first interface 110b in a conductive state. At this time, the purified water produced by the water purifier 2000 can flow into the storage cavity 110a of the kettle body 1 through the water outlet pipe connected to the first mating connector 202, the first mating connector 202, and the first interface 110b.

[0108] In summary, the first mating connector 202 of this application is designed to extend into the first connector 12 of the kettle 100. This direct insertion into the first connector 12 ensures that the first mating connector 202 can accurately and reliably contact and drive the first valve core 2 located within the first connector 12. Through direct contact and thrust transmission during the insertion process, the resistance of the first elastic element 3 can be effectively overcome, ensuring that the first valve core 2 is stably driven to the open position, thereby achieving reliable conduction of the first interface 110b. When the kettle 100 is removed from the mounting base 200, the first mating connector 202 exits from the first connector 12, its force on the first valve core 2 disappears, and the first valve core 2 automatically resets and closes the first interface 110b under the action of the first elastic element 3.

[0109] Combination Figure 12 and Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the mounting base 200 may further include a locking mechanism 204 and an elastic mechanism 205. The locking mechanism 204 is mounted on the base 201 and switches between a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking mechanism 204 locks the kettle 100 in the receiving space 2010. In the unlocked state, the locking mechanism 204 allows the kettle 100 to move out of the receiving space 2010 along the kettle 100's placement / removal direction. Furthermore, the elastic mechanism 205 is mounted on the base 201, which is configured to apply an elastic force to the kettle 100 in the kettle 100's placement / removal direction to drive the kettle 100 out of the receiving space 2010.

[0110] For example, in combination Figure 12 and Figure 15As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the user inserts the kettle 100 into the receiving space 2010 of the mounting base 200. During this process, the kettle 100 contacts and compresses the elastic mechanism 205, causing the elastic mechanism 205 to store elastic potential energy. When the kettle 100 is in place, the locking mechanism 204 switches to the locking state, firmly locking the kettle 100 within the receiving space 2010, at which time the elastic mechanism 205 remains compressed.

[0111] During the process of removing the kettle 100, the user first operates the locking mechanism 204 to switch it from the locked state to the unlocked state. Once the locking mechanism 204 releases the lock on the kettle 100, the previously compressed elastic mechanism 205 immediately releases its stored elastic force to push the kettle 100, allowing the kettle 100 to be partially or completely moved out of the receiving space 2010, making it convenient for the user to grasp and remove.

[0112] In summary, the water storage component 1000 according to this application adds a locking mechanism 204 and a resilient mechanism 205 to the mounting base 200. The locking mechanism 204 reliably locks and releases the kettle 100 within the receiving space 2010, effectively preventing the kettle 100 from accidentally falling off and improving safety and stability during use. The resilient mechanism 205 provides driving force when the locking mechanism 204 is released, assisting the user in easily removing the kettle 100, greatly improving operational convenience and user experience. The coordinated work of the locking mechanism 204 and the resilient mechanism 205 makes the assembly and disassembly of the kettle 100 on the mounting base 200 more effortless and efficient.
