Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water dispenser technology, specifically to a kettle for a tabletop water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most water dispenser kettles on the market (including those for instant water dispensers) are made of plastic using a one-piece injection molding process. While this design is low-cost and simple to manufacture, it reveals significant hygiene and safety hazards during long-term use, specifically in the following aspects: Over time, the inner walls of plastic kettles, especially the bottom, are prone to developing tiny scratches due to water immersion and repeated friction during washing. These micro-scratches create tiny spaces for dirt and grime to accumulate, further exacerbating bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation. Even frequent cleaning cannot completely remove these deeply embedded contaminants, making the bottom of the kettle a breeding ground for bacteria. When users draw water, the higher bacterial count at the bottom is pumped out or heated, directly affecting drinking water quality and potentially posing a health threat to users, especially those with weakened immune systems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a kettle for a tabletop water dispenser.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A kettle for a countertop water dispenser includes an outer shell, a kettle body disposed within the outer shell, and a water inlet base disposed at the bottom of the outer shell, wherein the kettle body forms a water storage space. The water inlet base forms a water inlet channel that connects to the water storage space. The bottom of the kettle body is open. The water inlet base is provided with a stainless steel sealing structure. The sealing structure includes a first sealing plate that abuts against the upper end face of the opening and a second sealing plate that abuts against the lower end face of the opening. The first sealing plate is attached to the water inlet base and forms a water outlet that connects to the water inlet channel.
