Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the electric kettle of this utility model with anti-tipping and leak-proof design includes a kettle body 1, an inner cavity 10 formed therein, a spout 11 and a handle 12 on the kettle body 1, a water outlet channel 15 between the spout 11 and the inner cavity 10, and a pressure cap 29 movably mounted on the handle 12; a kettle lid 2, hinged to the kettle body 1, with a sealing ring 27 between the lid 2 and the kettle body 1, and a steam outlet 213 and a steam outlet 21 on the lid 2, the steam outlet 213 communicating with the inner cavity 10, and the steam outlet 213 and the steam outlet 21 communicating with each other through a steam channel 20; and a water sealing valve assembly 5, which includes a lever 23 and a water sealing plug 24. The rocker arm 23 is concealed within the lid 2 and hinged to it. The water-sealing plug 24 includes an integrally formed limiting part 241, a mounting post 242, and a water-sealing part 243. The limiting part 241 and the water-sealing part 243 are located at the upper and lower ends of the mounting post 242. The mounting post 242 is fixedly connected to the first end of the rocker arm 23. The water-sealing part 243 is correspondingly provided with the water outlet channel 15 for opening or closing the water outlet channel 15. The pressure cap 29 is correspondingly provided with the second end of the rocker arm 23 for driving the rocker arm 23 to move. The steam sealing valve assembly 4 is movably located within the steam outlet 213 for opening or closing the steam channel 20. A steam gap is formed between the steam sealing valve assembly 4 and the inner wall of the steam outlet 213. This configuration ensures that the lid 2, when sealed onto the body 1 by the sealing ring 27, forms a seal on the inner cavity 10. The water sealing valve assembly 5 is used to open or close the water outlet channel 15. In the working state, the water sealing valve assembly 5 always closes the water outlet channel 15. When it is necessary to open the water outlet channel 15, pressing the pressure cap 29 on the handle 12 actuates the rocker arm 23, lifting the water sealing part 243. The water sealing valve assembly 5 includes the rocker arm 23 and the water sealing plug 24. The water sealing plug 24 includes an integrally formed limiting part 241, a mounting post 242, and the water sealing part 243. Its structure is simple, low-cost, and easy to assemble. The steam sealing valve assembly 4 is used to open or close the steam channel 20. When the body 1 is tilted, with both the water outlet channel 15 and the steam channel 20 closed, a leak-proof effect is achieved, making it safer to use.

[0021] The sealing part 243 is preferably a sealing structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, such as a trapezoidal seal, a frustum-shaped seal, or a pyramidal seal; the sealing plug 24 is preferably a silicone part; and the rocker arm 23 is concealed inside the lid 2.

[0022] Furthermore, the rocker arm 23 is hinged to the inner wall of the lid 2 via a pivot. A return spring 212 is fixed to the top of the end of the rocker arm 23 near the sealing plug 24. The return spring 212 abuts against the top wall of the lid 2. In the working and tilting states, the elastic force of the return spring 212 pushes the rocker arm 23, causing the sealing plug 24 to close the water outlet channel 15. With this configuration, in the initial state, as... Figure 2As shown, the spring force of the return spring 212 pushes the rocker arm 23 to drive the water seal plug 24 to close the water outlet channel 15. When the pressure cap 29 is pressed, the rocker arm 23 lifts the water seal plug 24 to open the water outlet channel 15, and water can be poured out. When the rocker arm 23 is released, the spring force of the return spring 212 resets and closes the water outlet channel 15, and water will not pour out. Also, when the kettle body 1 is tilted, no water will leak out. Specifically, water is released when the pressure cap 29 is pressed, and no water is released when it is not pressed.

[0023] Furthermore, the steam sealing valve assembly 4 includes a steel ball 41 and an integrally formed steam sealing silicone component. The steam sealing silicone component includes a hemispherical upper silicone component 43 and a hemispherical lower silicone component 44 arranged back-to-back. The hemispherical upper silicone component 43 has a mounting groove 42 formed on it, and the steel ball 41 is fixed in the mounting groove 42. In the working state, the hemispherical upper silicone component 43 closes the steam outlet 213. When steam is generated, the steam pushes the steam sealing valve assembly 4 upward to open the steam outlet gap. In the tilting state, the hemispherical lower silicone component 44 closes the steam outlet 213. With this configuration, in the initial state, the steam sealing valve assembly 4 closes the steam outlet 213. When steam is generated during the boiling process, it can push the steam sealing valve assembly 4 to move and open the steam outlet 213, allowing steam to be discharged from the steam outlet 21, preventing excessive pressure inside the kettle and ensuring the safety of the electric kettle. The steam sealing valve assembly 4 has a simple structure and low cost.

[0024] A grille is installed inside steam outlet 21.

[0025] Furthermore, the steam outlet 213 has an arc-shaped groove 211 formed at one end near the spherical silicone part 43. In the tilted state, the steel ball 41 drives the spherical silicone part 43 to move in a circular motion relative to the arc-shaped groove 211 to achieve water sealing at the source.

[0026] Furthermore, the first end of the rocker arm 23 is formed with a mounting hole 231 that cooperates with the mounting post 242 for fixation, and the second end of the rocker arm 23 is formed with a pressing part 232 that abuts against the inner wall of the pressure cap 29. This configuration facilitates assembly.

[0027] Furthermore, a base 3 is fixed to the bottom of the kettle body 1, and a temperature control switch 31 is installed inside the base 3. A power switch 13 corresponding to the temperature control switch 31 is installed on the kettle body 1. A second steam channel 14 is provided on the inner wall of the kettle body 1, which connects the first steam channel 20 and the temperature control switch 31. With this configuration, when the water boils, a large amount of steam is generated. While the steam is discharged from the second steam outlet 21, it also flows through the second steam channel 14 to the temperature control switch 31. The temperature control switch 31 can detect the temperature of the steam. When the steam reaches a preset value, the temperature control switch 31 trips, the power switch 13 pops up, and the electric kettle stops heating to prevent it from boiling dry.

[0028] Furthermore, a steam guide channel 26 is provided between the steam channel 1 20 and the steam channel 2 14. With this arrangement, the steam is guided through the steam guide channel 26 into the steam channel 2 14, and its travel distance is short, allowing it to quickly enter the temperature control switch 31, causing the temperature control switch 31 to trip promptly.

[0029] Furthermore, a sealing ring 28 is provided between the steam guide channel 26 and the steam channel 24. This arrangement prevents steam from leaking out from the connection between the steam guide channel 26 and the steam channel 24.

[0030] Furthermore, a locking assembly is provided between the lid 2 and the body 1. The locking assembly includes a locking button 22 on the lid 2 and a locking groove on the body 1. The locking button 22 is movably mounted on the lid 2, and a return spring 2 is provided between the locking button 22 and the lid 2. A locking buckle 25 is formed on the locking button 22. In the working and tilting states, the elastic force of the return spring 2 pushes the locking buckle 25 to engage with the locking groove. With this configuration, when opening the lid 2, pressing the locking button 22 compresses the return spring 2 (not shown in the figure), causing the locking buckle 25 to retract and disengage from the locking groove (not shown in the figure), thus opening the lid 2. During assembly, pressing the locking button 22 compresses the return spring 2 (not shown in the figure), causing the locking buckle 25 to retract to create assembly space. When the locking buckle 25 aligns with the locking groove, releasing the locking button 22 allows the locking buckle 25 to engage with the locking groove under the action of the return spring 2.

[0031] The electric kettle may include, but is not limited to, plastic kettles, glass kettles, stainless steel kettles, double-walled kettles, and electronic kettles.
