Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of everyday consumer goods technology, and in particular to a kettle that is easy to cool. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life and numerous business settings, kettles, as common containers, play a vital role. Whether it's for making tea or coffee at home, providing drinking water in the office, or offering hot water to customers in restaurants and cafes, kettles are indispensable. With social development and the accelerating pace of life, the frequency of kettle use is increasing, and their importance in meeting people's daily hot water needs is becoming increasingly prominent.
[0003] Related technology can be found in Chinese Patent No. CN219661427U, which discloses an electric kettle, including a kettle body and an electric heating base, and a scale removal component installed in the inner cavity of the kettle body. One end of the scale removal component extends upward through the kettle lid. The scale removal component can rotate within the inner cavity of the kettle body, and its edge can slide against the inner wall of the kettle body. After scale accumulates in the inner cavity of the kettle body, the user adds water to the kettle body and continuously rotates the scale removal component. As the component rotates, its edge slides against the inner wall of the kettle body. While sliding, the scale is effectively removed, and the removed scale is mixed with the water flow in a vortex, thus achieving the purpose of scale removal.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, when hot water in a kettle boils, it is poured into an open container. In the open container, the surface of the hot water is in direct contact with the air, and the water continues to evaporate, carrying away heat to achieve cooling and reach a suitable drinking temperature. However, it takes a long time to achieve the desired cooling effect, resulting in poor convenience of use. Utility Model Content
[0005] To improve the convenience of using a kettle, this application provides a kettle that is easy to cool.
[0006] This application provides a kettle that is easy to cool, using the following technical solution: A kettle that is easy to cool includes a kettle body with an inner liner fixed inside. A cooling pipe is provided between the kettle body and the inner liner. The cooling pipe is designed to spiral around the outer wall of the inner liner. One end of the cooling pipe has a water inlet with a double-control valve for connecting to a water supply line. The end of the cooling pipe away from the double-control valve has a water outlet with a double-ended connector connected to the cooling pipe. A faucet is provided on the outside of the kettle body and is connected to the double-ended connector.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the spiral cooling pipe design surrounding the outer wall of the inner tank maximizes the contact area with hot water. When cold water enters the cooling pipe through the water supply pipe, it can form an efficient heat exchange with the hot water in the inner tank. The spiral structure extends the flow path of cold water in the pipe, allowing the cold water to fully absorb heat. The double-ended connector can connect the cooling pipe outlet and the faucet inlet simultaneously. After cooling, the water can be directly used through the faucet, reducing the probability of direct discharge and waste. Through heat exchange, the hot water in the inner tank can be rapidly cooled to a suitable drinking temperature, improving the convenience of using the kettle.
[0008] Optionally, a connecting pipe is provided at the lower end of the kettle body. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to a dual-control valve. The dual-control valve controls the water flow to switch between the cooling pipe and the connecting pipe. The end of the connecting pipe away from the dual-control valve is connected to a double-ended connector.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dual-control valve is switched to the cooling pipe passage, cold water flows around the inner tank along the spiral cooling pipe and absorbs the heat of boiling water through heat exchange. When hot water is needed, the dual-control valve is switched to the connecting pipe passage, and the cold water directly bypasses the cooling pipe through the connecting pipe and goes directly to the faucet through the double-head connector without going through heat exchange. The water flow path can be flexibly adjusted, and different cooling methods can be selected according to actual needs, improving the flexibility of kettle use.
[0010] Optionally, the dual-control valve is threaded to the cooling pipe and the connecting pipe respectively, and the end of the dual-control valve connected to the water supply pipe is provided with a sealing gasket, which is made of elastic material.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection generates axial preload through the engagement of internal and external threads, making the dual-control valve and the cooling pipe and connecting pipe rigidly connected. At the same time, when it is necessary to repair or replace the kettle, the user only needs to rotate the dual-control valve to complete the installation or disassembly without additional tools, which improves the convenience of the device. The sealing gasket made of elastic material seals the gap between the dual-control valve and the water supply pipeline, enhances the sealing performance of the connection between the dual-control valve and the water supply pipeline, and reduces the probability of water leakage.
[0012] Optionally, a motor is fixed at the bottom of the kettle body, a rotating shaft is provided inside the kettle body, the output shaft of the motor is fixed coaxially with the rotating shaft, a number of fan blades are fixed at the end of the rotating shaft away from the motor, the number of fan blades are evenly distributed around the rotating shaft, a switch for controlling the start of the motor is provided on the outside of the shell, the kettle body includes a kettle lid, and a number of air inlets are opened on the surface of the kettle lid.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the switch controls the motor to start, the motor starts and drives the shaft to rotate, which drives the fan blades to rotate at high speed, forming a directional airflow in the kettle body. The airflow is drawn in from the air inlet of the kettle lid, flows through the inner liner, accelerates the dissipation of heat in the inner liner, cools the hot water in the inner liner, and improves the convenience of using the kettle.
[0014] Optionally, a baffle is provided at the air inlet. The baffle is slidably connected to the lid in the horizontal direction. The lid has a groove in the horizontal direction. The baffle is inserted into the groove and engaged with the inner wall of the groove. At this time, the baffle blocks all air inlets. A connecting rod is fixed at the end of the baffle away from the groove. The connecting rod is set vertically and perpendicular to the baffle.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fan blades need to be activated for active heat dissipation, pulling the connecting rod in the opposite direction can cause the baffle to disengage from the groove and slide laterally to open the air inlet. When the kettle does not need active heat dissipation, the connecting rod can be pushed to cause the baffle to slide along the groove, so that the baffle blocks all air inlets, reducing the exchange of heat between the kettle and the outside air through the air inlets, and reducing the probability of air falling into the kettle through the air inlets, thus improving the flexibility of kettle use.
[0016] Optionally, a handle is fixed on one side of the pot body, and several convex circles are fixed on the side of the handle near the pot body.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a handle is provided on one side of the kettle body to facilitate holding the kettle. The convex shape of the handle near the kettle body can increase the friction between the hand and the handle, making the grip more stable and improving the convenience of using the kettle.
[0018] Optionally, a temperature sensor is fixedly installed on the outer side of the inner liner, and a display screen is installed on the outer side of the shell. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the display screen, and the display screen displays the temperature of the inner liner surface.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the temperature sensor can monitor the surface temperature of the inner liner in real time, and transmit the temperature data to the display screen for display through electrical connection, so as to obtain the temperature of the inner liner surface in real time, making it convenient for users to understand the water temperature inside the kettle and improving the convenience of using the kettle.
[0020] Optionally, the inner liner is equipped with a tea compartment, and two sliding rods are fixed at the upper end of the tea compartment. The inner liner has vertical grooves corresponding to the sliding rods, and the sliding rods are inserted into the corresponding grooves and engaged with the inner wall of the grooves.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a tea compartment is set inside the inner liner, which makes it convenient for users to put tea leaves according to their preferences. The tea compartment is connected to the inner liner through a sliding rod, which facilitates the installation and removal of the tea compartment, makes it easy to clean the tea compartment, and improves the convenience of using the kettle.
[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The spiral cooling pipe design, encircling the outer wall of the inner tank, maximizes the contact area with hot water. When cold water enters the cooling pipe through the water supply line, it can form an efficient heat exchange with the hot water in the inner tank. The spiral structure extends the flow path of the cold water inside the pipe, allowing the cold water to fully absorb heat. After heat exchange, the hot water in the inner tank can be quickly cooled to a temperature suitable for drinking, improving the convenience of using the kettle. 2. A sealing gasket made of elastic material seals the gap between the double-control valve and the water supply pipeline, enhancing the sealing performance of the connection between the double-control valve and the water supply pipeline, reducing the probability of leakage, and improving the lifespan of the kettle; 3. When the kettle does not require active cooling, the connecting rod can be pushed to move the baffle along the groove, so that the baffle blocks all air inlets, reducing the exchange of heat between the kettle and the outside air through the air inlets, and reducing the probability of air falling into the kettle through the air inlets, thus improving the flexibility of the kettle's use.

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.
[0029] This application discloses a kettle that is easy to cool. Example
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A kettle designed for easy cooling includes a kettle body 1, with an inner liner 11 fixed inside the kettle body 1. A cooling pipe 111 is provided between the kettle body 1 and the inner liner 11. One end of the cooling pipe 111 has a water inlet, and a double-control valve 12 is provided at the water inlet. One end of the double-control valve 12 is connected to the cooling pipe 111, and a water supply line is connected to the double-control valve 12. When it is necessary to cool the hot water in the kettle, cold water enters the cooling pipe 111 through the water supply line. The cooling pipe 111 contacts the outer wall of the inner liner 11, forming an efficient heat exchange with the hot water in the inner liner 11. This allows the cold water to fully absorb heat, achieving rapid cooling of the hot water in the inner liner 11 to a temperature suitable for drinking, thus improving the convenience of using the kettle. Simultaneously, the cooling pipe 111 is designed in a spiral shape, encircling the outer wall of the inner liner 11, which extends the flow path of the cold water within the pipe, allowing the cold water to fully absorb heat.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 The cooling pipe 111 has an outlet at the end away from the dual-control valve 12. A double-ended connector 13 is provided at the outlet, which is connected to the cooling pipe 111. A faucet 131 is provided on the outside of the kettle body 1. After the cold water and the water in the inner tank 11 have exchanged heat, the water is taken from the faucet 131 through the double-ended connector 13, reducing the probability of direct discharge and waste.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lower end of the kettle body 1 is provided with a connecting pipe 112. One end of the connecting pipe 112 is connected to a double-control valve 12, and the other end of the connecting pipe 112 away from the double-control valve 12 is connected to a double-head connector 13. The double-control valve 12 controls the water flow to switch between the cooling pipe 111 and the connecting pipe 112. When the double-control valve 12 is switched to the cooling pipe 111 passage, cold water flows around the inner liner 11 along the spiral cooling pipe 111 and absorbs the heat of boiling water through heat exchange. When hot water is needed, the double-control valve 12 is switched to the connecting pipe 112 passage, and cold water directly bypasses the cooling pipe 111 through the connecting pipe 112 and goes directly to the faucet 131 through the double-head connector 13 without heat exchange. The water flow path can be flexibly adjusted, and different cooling methods can be selected according to actual needs, improving the flexibility of the kettle.
[0033] Reference Figure 2The dual-control valve 12 is threadedly connected to the cooling pipe 111 and the connecting pipe 112 respectively. The threaded connection generates axial preload through the engagement of the internal and external threads, making the dual-control valve 12 rigidly connected to the cooling pipe 111 and the connecting pipe 112. At the same time, when it is necessary to repair or replace the kettle, the user only needs to rotate the dual-control valve 12 to complete the installation or disassembly without additional tools, which improves the convenience of the device. The end of the dual-control valve 12 connected to the water supply pipe is provided with a sealing gasket 121. The sealing gasket 121 is made of elastic material. The sealing gasket 121 made of elastic material seals the gap between the dual-control valve 12 and the water supply pipe, enhances the sealing performance of the connection between the dual-control valve 12 and the water supply pipe, and reduces the probability of water leakage.
[0034] Reference Figure 4 A handle 16 is fixedly provided on one side of the kettle body 1. When it is necessary to move the kettle, the handle 16 can be easily moved by gripping it. Several raised circles 161 are provided on the side of the handle 16 near the kettle body 1. The raised circles 161 can increase the friction between the hand and the handle 16, making the grip more stable, reducing the probability of the kettle slipping during movement, and improving the convenience of using the kettle. A water outlet is provided at the lower end of the kettle body 1. The water outlet is connected to the inner liner 11, and the water in the kettle flows out from the water outlet for easy use.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 A temperature sensor 116 is fixedly installed on the outside of the inner liner 11, and a display screen 117 is installed on the outside of the shell. The temperature sensor 116 can monitor the surface temperature of the inner liner 11 in real time, and transmit the temperature data to the display screen 117 for display through electrical connection with the display screen 117. The temperature of the surface of the inner liner 11 can be obtained in real time, so that users can understand the water temperature inside the kettle and improve the convenience of using the kettle.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 A motor 141 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the kettle body 1. A switch 14 is provided on the outside of the shell to control the start of the motor 141. A rotating shaft 142 is provided inside the kettle body 1. The output shaft of the motor 141 is coaxially fixed with the rotating shaft 142. When it is necessary to cool the hot water in the kettle, press the switch 14 to start the motor 141. The start of the motor 141 drives the rotating shaft 142 to rotate. Several fan blades 143 are fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 142 away from the motor 141. The fan blades 143 are evenly distributed around the rotating shaft 142, driving the fan blades 143 to rotate at high speed, forming a directional airflow in the kettle body 1. Several air inlets 15 are opened in the horizontal direction at the upper end of the kettle body 1. The airflow is drawn in from the air inlet 15 of the kettle lid, flows through the inner liner 11, accelerates the heat dissipation in the inner liner 11, cools the hot water in the inner liner 11, and improves the convenience of using the kettle.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4A baffle 151 is provided at the air inlet 15. The baffle 151 is slidably connected to the lid in the horizontal direction. The lid has a groove in the horizontal direction. The baffle 151 is inserted into the groove and locked with the inner wall of the groove. At this time, the baffle 151 blocks all air inlets 15. A connecting rod 152 is fixed at the end of the baffle 151 away from the groove. The connecting rod 152 is set vertically and perpendicular to the baffle 151. When it is necessary to dissipate heat from the water in the inner liner 11, the connecting rod 152 is pulled in the opposite direction to drive the baffle 151 to disengage from the groove and slide horizontally to open the air inlet 15. When the kettle does not need to actively dissipate heat, the connecting rod 152 can be pushed to drive the baffle 151 to slide along the groove, so that the baffle 151 blocks all air inlets 15, reducing the heat exchange between the kettle and the outside air through the air inlets 15, and reducing the probability of heat falling into the kettle through the air inlets 15, thus improving the flexibility of the kettle.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 The inner liner 11 contains a tea compartment 113 with several drainage holes at the bottom. Users can place their preferred tea leaves inside. Two sliding rods 114 are fixed to the upper part of the tea compartment 113. The inner liner 11 has vertically oriented grooves corresponding to the sliding rods 114. The sliding rods 114 are inserted into their respective grooves and engage with the inner wall of the grooves, facilitating the installation and removal of the tea compartment 113 and making it easier to clean, thus improving the convenience of using the kettle. Two vertical rods 115 are also fixed to the upper part of the tea compartment 113, facilitating its removal.
[0039] The implementation principle of the kettle that facilitates cooling in this application embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to cool the hot water in the inner liner 11, the water supply pipe provides cold water to the cooling pipe 111. The cooling pipe 111 exchanges heat with the hot water in the inner liner 11 to achieve rapid cooling of the hot water. At the same time, the switch 14 is pressed to start the motor 141, which drives the fan blade 143 to rotate at high speed, forming a directional airflow in the kettle body 1. The airflow is drawn in from the air inlet 15 on the kettle lid, flows through the inner liner 11, accelerates the dissipation of heat in the inner liner 11, and achieves rapid cooling of the hot water in the kettle, thereby improving the convenience of using the kettle.
[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
