There is no need to open the kettle lid, making it more convenient to add water. Moreover, there is no diverter at the water inlet 14 position, which makes its structure simple and its cost low.

[0032] The kettle body 1 is provided with a spout 11 and a handle 8.

[0033] Furthermore, the water inlet pipe includes a connecting pipe 5 and a water passage pipe 6. The first end of the connecting pipe 5 is connected to the outlet 23, the second end of the connecting pipe 5 is connected to the first end of the water passage pipe 6, and the second end of the water passage pipe 6 is connected to the inlet 14. The water passage pipe 6 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the kettle body 1 by a limiting bracket 7. This arrangement forms a simple water inlet pipe through the connected connecting pipe 5 and the water passage pipe 6.

[0034] Among them, the water pipe 6 is closely attached to the outer wall of the kettle body 1 through the limiting bracket 7, with a short water inlet stroke and high water inlet efficiency.
