[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] It should be understood that the phrases "embodiments of this application" or "foreign embodiments" throughout the specification mean that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to an embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of this application. Therefore, "embodiments of this application" or "in the foreign embodiments" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the various embodiments of this application, the sequence numbers of the above-described processes do not imply a sequential order of execution; the execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application. The sequence numbers of the above-described embodiments are merely descriptive and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments.

[0031] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0032] In related technologies, a kettle includes a lid and a body. The body has an opening, and the lid is positioned over the opening. The lid includes an inner metal lid and an outer shell assembly. The inner metal lid is smaller than the opening, causing the gap between the outer shell assembly and the inner metal lid to be located radially inside the opening. When the kettle boils water, on the one hand, steam may enter the lid through the gap between the outer shell assembly and the inner metal lid and condense into liquid. Both the steam and liquid water entering the lid can come into contact with the outer shell assembly, causing the condensate inside the lid to carry, to some extent, the flavor of the outer shell assembly material. The condensate then flows back into the kettle body through the gap, causing the water inside the kettle to carry, correspondingly, the flavor of the outer shell assembly material. On the other hand, since the outer shell assembly is partially located inside the opening, the high-temperature steam directly contacts it, easily causing the outer shell assembly to pulverize and dissolve in the water, resulting in the water boiled in the kettle carrying the flavor of the outer shell assembly material.

[0033] For example, the outer casing is made of plastic, and the water boiled from it has a plastic taste.

[0034] For example, contact between high-temperature steam and a plastic housing assembly may cause the plastic housing assembly to pulverize and dissolve in water.

[0035] This application provides an embodiment of a kettle; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3The kettle includes a kettle body 1 and a kettle lid 2. The kettle body 1 has an opening 11 for restricting the flow of steam within the kettle body 1. The kettle lid 2 includes an inner metal lid 21 and an outer shell assembly 22 connected to each other. The inner metal lid 21 has a state with the opening 11 open and a state with the opening 11 closed. The outer shell assembly 22 is at least partially located on the side of the inner metal lid 21 away from the opening 11 along the vertical direction R1. When the inner metal lid 21 is closed, the projection area of ​​the opening 11 along the vertical direction R1 is located within the projection area of ​​the inner metal lid 21.

[0036] It should be noted that the kettle body 1 has a water-holding space, and the steam inside the kettle body 1 refers to the steam inside the water-holding space. In addition to the water-holding space, there are gaps on the side walls of the kettle body 1.

[0037] It should be noted that when the inner metal cover 21 closes the opening 11, the inner metal cover 21 covers the opening 11 in the vertical direction R1.

[0038] For example, the inner metal cover 21 is made of stainless steel.

[0039] For example, the housing assembly 22 is made of plastic.

[0040] For example, the kettle is an electric kettle.

[0041] In this embodiment, with the metal inner cover 21 closing the opening 11, the projection area of ​​the opening 11 along the vertical direction R1 is located within the projection area of ​​the metal inner cover 21. The gap between the metal inner cover 21 and the outer shell assembly 22 is located radially outside the opening 11, reducing the amount of steam entering between the metal inner cover 21 and the outer shell assembly 22 through this gap, and reducing water contact with the outer shell assembly 22. This reduces the likelihood of the water boiled in the kettle having a taste corresponding to the material of the outer shell assembly 22. With the metal inner cover 21 closing the opening 11, the projection area of ​​the opening 11 along the vertical direction R1 is located within the projection area of ​​the metal inner cover 21. The opening 11 is blocked by the metal inner cover 21, reducing direct contact between steam and the outer shell assembly 22, reducing the possibility of the outer shell assembly 22 dissolving in water, and further reducing the likelihood of the water boiled in the kettle having a taste corresponding to the material of the outer shell assembly 22.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-6 The metal inner cover 21 includes a protrusion 212 and a contact portion 211 connected to each other. The contact portion 211 surrounds the outside of the protrusion 212. When the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the protrusion 212 protrudes out of the contact portion 211 in the vertical direction R1. The protrusion 212 is located inside the opening 11. The contact portion 211 at least partially abuts against the side wall of the opening 11 in the vertical direction R1.

[0043] It should be noted that "inside opening 11" refers to the side of the sidewall of opening 11 that faces the center of opening 11 radially.

[0044] It should be noted that the outer side of the protrusion 212 refers to the side that is radially away from the center of the inner metal cover 21.

[0045] In this embodiment, the protrusion 212 protrudes from the contact portion 211 along the vertical direction R1. The protrusion 212 is located inside the opening 11. The contact portion 211 at least partially abuts against the side wall of the opening 11 along the vertical direction R1. By sealing the opening 11 with the protrusion 212, steam is reduced from escaping from the opening 11, thereby reducing the amount of steam entering the kettle lid 2 from the gap between the metal inner lid 21 and the outer shell assembly 22, reducing the contact between steam and the outer shell assembly 22, and further reducing the taste of the water boiled by the kettle corresponding to the material of the outer shell assembly 22.

[0046] For example, when the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the wall surface of the metal inner cover 21 facing the pot body 1 in the vertical direction R1 is a plane.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-6 When the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the protrusion 212 has a drainage surface 2121 on the side away from the outer shell assembly 22 along the vertical direction R1. The drainage surface 2121 is arranged around the protrusion 212. The end of the drainage surface 2121 facing the contact portion 211 along the radial direction of the metal inner cover 21 is a preset end 2122. The preset end 2122 is inclined towards the pot body 1 along the vertical direction R1.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the kettle is boiling water, there may be condensation on the metal inner lid 21. The end of the drainage surface 2121 facing the contact portion 211 along the radial direction of the metal inner lid 21 is a preset end 2122. The preset end 2122 is inclined towards the kettle body 1 in the vertical direction R1. When the kettle lid 2 is opened 11, the condensation on the metal inner lid 21 is guided back to the boiling space of the kettle body 1 by the inclined drainage surface 2121, reducing the possibility of condensation flowing from the metal inner lid 21 to the outer shell assembly 22 and the kettle body 1.

[0049] For example, when the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the drainage surface 2121 is parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-6 When the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the metal inner cover 21 has a flange 213 that protrudes in the vertical direction R1 away from the side of the pot body 1, and the flange 213 is at least partially located inside the outer shell assembly 22.

[0051] For example, the flange 213 portion is located within the housing assembly 22.

[0052] For example, the flange 213 is entirely located within the housing assembly 22.

[0053] In this embodiment, the flange 213 is at least partially located within the outer casing assembly 22. The flange 213 of the inner metal lid 21 is shielded by the outer casing assembly 22, reducing the possibility of the exposed edge of the inner metal lid 21 cutting the user and improving the safety of the kettle. The inner metal lid 21 has a flange 213 that protrudes along the vertical direction R1 away from the side of the kettle body 1. The flange 213 is at least partially located within the outer casing assembly 22, such that the gap between the inner metal lid 21 and the outer casing assembly 22 is located on the side of the kettle lid 2 along the radial direction of the inner metal lid 21, reducing the amount of steam entering the gap between the inner metal lid 21 and the outer casing assembly 22.

[0054] For example, the flange 213 is located radially outside the housing assembly 22 along the inner metal cover 21.

[0055] In some embodiments, the outer casing assembly 22 is mounted on the kettle body 1, and the rotation center line of the outer casing assembly 22 relative to the kettle body 1 is located outside the opening 11.

[0056] It should be noted that the outer casing assembly 22 rotates relative to the kettle body 1 to open or close the opening 11.

[0057] It should be noted that the outer side of the outer opening 11 refers to the side of the opening 11 that is radially away from the center of the opening.

[0058] In this embodiment, the rotation center line of the outer shell assembly 22 relative to the kettle body 1 is located outside the opening 11. The outer shell assembly 22 and the kettle body 1 are installed outside the opening. The installation location of the outer shell assembly 22 and the kettle body 1 is far from the steam, reducing the amount of steam entering the kettle lid 2 from the installation location of the outer shell assembly 22 and the kettle body 1.

[0059] For example, the rotation center line of the outer casing assembly 22 relative to the body 1 is located inside the opening 11.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2-6 The outer casing assembly 22 includes a bracket 222 and a housing 221. The housing 221 is connected to the bracket 222, and the bracket 222 is connected to the metal inner cover 21. The bracket 222 is installed on the kettle body 1 and can rotate relative to the kettle body 1. When the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the bracket 222 is located between the housing 221 and the metal inner cover 21 in the vertical direction R1, and the housing 221 is located on the outside of the flange 213.

[0061] It should be noted that the outer side of the flange 213 refers to the side of the flange 213 that is radially away from the center of the inner metal cover 21.

[0062] For example, the bracket 222 is located inside the flange 213.

[0063] For example, the bracket 222 is made of plastic.

[0064] For example, the housing 221 is made of plastic.

[0065] In this embodiment of the application, when the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the bracket 222 is located between the housing 221 and the metal inner cover 21 in the vertical direction R1. The bracket 222 supports the metal inner cover 21 and the housing 221. The housing 221 is located outside the flange 213. The housing 221 covers the flange 213, reducing the exposure of the flange 213.

[0066] For example, the lid 2 is completely separated from the body 1.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4-6 The housing 221 has a clearance opening 2211 extending radially along the inner metal cover 21. The bracket 222 has a transition portion 2221, which passes through the clearance opening 2211 and is mounted on the pot body 1. The flange 213 has a notch 2131 communicating with the clearance opening 2211, which is used to allow clearance to the transition portion 2221.

[0068] It should be noted that the notch 2131 extends radially along the inner metal cover 21.

[0069] In this embodiment of the application, when the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the flange 213 protrudes upward from the metal inner cover 21. The flange 213 has a notch 2131 that communicates with the clearance opening 2211. The notch 2131 is used to avoid the transition part 2221. By setting the notch 2131, the flange 213 can accommodate the transition part 2221 in the vertical direction R1, thereby reducing the space occupied by the lid 2 in the vertical direction R1.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4-6 The inner metal cover 21 has a plurality of foot buckles 214 spaced apart along the circumference of the inner metal cover 21. When the opening 11 of the inner metal cover 21 is closed, the foot buckles 214 are located on the side of the bracket 222 away from the body 1 in the vertical direction R1.

[0071] It should be noted that "multiple" refers to at least two.

[0072] It should be noted that, Figure 5The diagram illustrates the state where the foot buckle 214 is not assembled with the bracket 222. When the foot buckle 214 is assembled with the bracket 222, the foot buckle 214 needs to be bent to the side of the bracket 222 away from the pot body 1 along the vertical direction R1.

[0073] For example, the number of foot buckles 214 is two, three, four, or five.

[0074] For example, the foot buckle 214 is provided on the flange 213.

[0075] For example, the bracket 222 abuts against the contact portion 211 on the side of the pot body 1 along the vertical direction R1.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, when the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the bracket 222 is located between the housing 221 and the metal inner cover 21 in the vertical direction R1, and the foot buckle 214 is located on the side of the bracket 222 away from the pot body 1 in the vertical direction R1. The foot buckle 214 restricts the bracket 222 from detaching from the metal inner cover 21 in the vertical direction R1 away from the pot body 1, and the metal inner cover 21 is securely installed on the bracket 222 by the foot buckle 214.

[0077] For example, the metal inner cover 21 is threaded, glued, or snapped onto the bracket 222.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3-6 The bracket 222 has a mounting buckle 2222 that protrudes radially along the inner metal cover 21, and the housing 221 has a mounting groove 2212. The mounting buckle 2222 is at least partially located in the mounting groove 2212. When the opening 11 of the inner metal cover 21 is closed, the lower side of the mounting buckle 2222 abuts against the groove wall of the mounting groove 2212 to restrict the movement of the housing 221 relative to the bracket 222 in the vertical direction R1.

[0079] For example, the mounting buckle 2222 abuts against the groove wall of the mounting groove 2212 on both sides of the circumferential direction of the inner metal cover 21.

[0080] For example, the number of installation clips 2222 can be one, two, three, four, or five.

[0081] For example, the housing 221 protrudes toward the mounting portion of the pot body 1 in the vertical direction R1, the mounting groove 2212 is formed in the mounting portion, and the mounting buckle 2222 is located between the mounting portion and the metal inner cover 21 in the radial direction of the metal inner cover 21.

[0082] For example, the mounting buckle 2222 protrudes radially inward along the inner metal cover 21.

[0083] In this embodiment of the application, when the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the lower side of the mounting buckle 2222 abuts against the groove wall of the mounting groove 2212 to restrict the housing 221 from moving relative to the bracket 222 in the vertical direction R1. The housing 221 and the bracket 222 are installed by the mounting buckle 2222 cooperating with the mounting groove 2212.

[0084] For example, the metal inner cover 21 is threaded or bonded to the bracket 222.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The pot body 1 includes a pot liner 12 and a protective shell 13 connected to each other. The protective shell 13 covers the outside of the pot liner 12. An opening 11 is formed in the pot liner 12. The pot liner 12 has a bent portion 121 that protrudes outward along the radial direction of the opening 11. The bent portion 121 protrudes outward along the radial direction of the opening 11 from the protective shell 13.

[0086] It should be noted that "protruding outward along the radial direction of opening 11" means protruding from the side of opening 11 away from the center of opening 11 along the radial direction of opening 11.

[0087] It should be noted that the bending portion 121 protruding outward along the radial direction of the opening 11 from the protective shell 13 means that the bending portion 121 protrudes outward along the radial direction of the opening 11 from the end of the protective shell 13 facing the opening 11 in the vertical direction R1.

[0088] For example, the metal inner liner abuts against the bent portion 121 in the vertical direction R1.

[0089] For example, the protective shell 13 is made of plastic.

[0090] In this embodiment, the inner pot 12 has a bent portion 121 that protrudes radially outward along the opening 11. The bent portion 121 protrudes radially outward from the protective shell 13, extending the steam overflow channel and reducing steam overflow between the bent portion 121 and the metal inner pot. The bent portion 121, protruding radially outward from the opening 11 and the protective shell 13, blocks the gap between the inner pot 12 and the protective shell 13 from above, reducing the possibility of water from the lid 2 entering the inner pot 12 through the gap and then flowing out again, reducing the taste of the water from the kettle from the protective shell 13, and reducing harmful metal contact between the water and the inner pot 12 and the protective shell 13.

[0091] For example, the protective shell 13 protrudes radially outward from the bend 121 along the opening 11.

[0092] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7Therefore, the kettle body 1 has a spout 14 for dispensing water. The two ends of the spout 14 along the circumference of the opening 11 are connected end to end of the side wall of the opening 11. When the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the spout 14 is projected in the vertical direction R1. The projection area of ​​the spout 14 is at least partially located outside the projection area of ​​the metal inner cover 21. The spout 14 and the metal inner cover 21 form a water outlet 15.

[0093] It should be noted that the water outlet 15 and the opening 11 are arranged radially along the opening 11, and the water outlet 15 is connected to the water-holding space of the kettle body 1.

[0094] For example, when the metal inner cover 21 is opened to the opening 11, the water outlet 15 is in communication with the opening 11.

[0095] For example, when projected along the vertical direction R1, the projection area of ​​the spout 14 is partially located outside the projection area of ​​the inner metal cover 21.

[0096] For example, when projected along the vertical direction R1, the entire projection area of ​​the spout 14 is located outside the projection area of ​​the inner metal cover 21.

[0097] In this embodiment, when the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11, the projection area of ​​the spout 14 is at least partially located outside the projection area of ​​the metal inner cover 21 when projected along the vertical direction R1. The spout 14 and the metal inner cover 21 form a water outlet 15, which facilitates pouring water through the water outlet 15 when the metal inner cover 21 closes the opening 11.

[0098] For example, when projected along the vertical direction R1, the entire projection area of ​​the spout 14 is located within the projection area of ​​the inner metal cover 21.

[0099] In some embodiments, the opening 11 is circular.

[0100] In some embodiments, when the metal inner cover 21 is placed over the opening 11, the projection area of ​​the metal inner cover 21 along the vertical direction R1 is circular.
