Therefore, a technical solution is urgently needed to address the problem of water rapidly flowing out of the steam channels, vents, and spouts when a kettle tip over. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a tilting anti-overflow mechanism and a kettle to solve the problem of water flowing out quickly through the steam channel, vent, and outlet when the kettle is tilted.

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, this application provides a tipping and overflow prevention mechanism, including a main body and a counterweight.

[0005] The main body of the mechanism is equipped with a counterweight chamber and a channel;

[0006] The counterweight chamber and the channel are connected through a first through-port;

[0007] The first through-port is provided at one end of the counterweight cavity;

[0008] The other end of the counterweight cavity is surrounded by multiple supporting bones;

[0009] The counterweight is installed in the counterweight cavity and can slide in the counterweight cavity when the main body of the mechanism is tilted so that one end of itself blocks the first guide port;

[0010] The other end of the counterweight is cone-shaped;

[0011] Each of the supporting bones forms a conical cavity that adapts to and supports the cone.

[0012] A groove is formed between adjacent supporting bones to allow passage to the first access opening;

[0013] The main body of the mechanism is also provided with a second guide port that connects to the trench.

[0014] Furthermore, the counterweight is a cylindrical structure with a cone shape at one end.

[0015] Furthermore, the main body of the mechanism includes a main body base, a support base, and a sleeve;

[0016] The main body is provided with a conductive cavity;

[0017] The first passage is located on one side of the main body seat;

[0018] The sleeve is installed on one side of the main body and is located on one side of the first through port;

[0019] The lumen of the sleeve is connected to the conductive cavity to form the channel;

[0020] The support base has a support cavity and is mounted on one side of the main body base;

[0021] The counterweight cavity is formed between the support cavity and one side of the main body.

[0022] The supporting bone is disposed in the supporting cavity;

[0023] The second passage is located on the support.

[0024] Furthermore, the sleeve is integrally connected to the main body seat.

[0025] Furthermore, a connecting flange is provided around the first guide port on one side of the main body seat;

[0026] One end of the support is connected to the connecting flange.

[0027] Furthermore, the connecting flange is provided with a first connecting portion;

[0051] This application discloses a tilting mechanism to prevent overflow.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 One embodiment of the spill prevention mechanism provided in this application includes:

[0053] The main body of the mechanism 1 and the counterweight 3.

[0054] The main body 1 of the mechanism is provided with a counterweight cavity 41 and a channel 42; the counterweight cavity 41 and the channel 42 are connected by a first guide port 21; one end of the counterweight cavity 41 is provided with a first guide port 21.

[0055] The other end of the counterweight cavity 41 is provided with multiple supporting bones 131; the counterweight 3 is installed in the counterweight cavity 41 and can slide in the counterweight cavity 41 when the main body 1 of the mechanism is tilted so that one end of itself blocks the first guide port 21.

[0056] The other end of the counterweight 3 is conical; the various supporting bones 131 form a conical cavity that fits and supports the cone; a groove is formed between adjacent supporting bones 131 that can conduct through the first guide port 21; the main body of the mechanism 1 is also provided with a second guide port 22 that connects to the groove. In the normal upright state, the conical cavity is an inverted cone-shaped cavity, and the supporting bones 131 can be designed with a certain tilt angle to meet the requirement that the enclosed wall forms a conical cavity, and there is no specific limitation.

[0057] In this application, the cone at one end of the counterweight 3 can be cut into a cone structure, that is, the cone tip is cut off to form a frustum structure.

[0058] The spill prevention mechanism designed in this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0059] 1. When the kettle is tilted, the counterweight 3 can slide in the counterweight cavity 41, so that one end of it blocks the first guide port 21, thereby preventing water or gas from entering the channel 42 from the first guide port 21 and flowing out. This solves the problems of scalding, wetting the environment and damaging electrical appliances caused by the rapid flow of water when the kettle is tilted.

[0060] 2. Grooves are formed between the supporting bones 131 in the counterweight cavity 41. In the normal upright state, the conical end of the counterweight 3 is supported by the matching conical cavity formed by the supporting bones 131. The first guide port 21 is connected to the second guide port 22 through the groove. Water or gas can pass through the groove, the first guide port 21 and the channel 42 unimpeded, without affecting the steam discharge.

[0061] 3. The sliding sealing is achieved by utilizing the gravity of the counterweight 3, which requires no additional power and has a simple structure and high reliability.

[0062] 4. The fitting design of the conical cavity formed between the cone of the counterweight 3 and the supporting bone 131 enables the counterweight 3 to provide stable support under normal conditions, and to respond quickly to block when tilted, with sensitive action.

[0063] The above is Embodiment 1 of a tipping spill prevention mechanism provided in this application. The following is Embodiment 2 of a tipping spill prevention mechanism provided in this application. Please refer to the following for details. Figures 1 to 3 .

[0064] Based on the solution of Embodiment 1 above:

[0065] Furthermore, the counterweight 3 is a cylindrical structure with a cone shape at one end. It can be understood that the counterweight 3 is cylindrical in shape as a whole, but the other end is processed into a cone shape.

[0066] This design ensures both the smooth sliding of the counterweight 3 within the counterweight cavity 41 and its ability to quickly and accurately seal the first passage 21 when tilted. The cylindrical portion provides sufficient weight, allowing the counterweight 3 to slide naturally under gravity, while the conical portion easily adapts to the conical cavity formed by the supporting bone 131, achieving the dual functions of stable support and rapid sealing.

[0067] Furthermore, regarding the structural design of the main body 1, it can be designed to include a main body base 11, a support base 13, and a sleeve 12.

[0068] The main body 11 has a guiding cavity, and the first guiding port 21 is located on one side of the main body 11; the sleeve 12 is installed on one side of the main body 11 and is located on one side of the first guiding port 21; the tube cavity of the sleeve 12 is connected to the guiding cavity to form a channel 42.

[0069] The support seat 13 has a support cavity and is installed on one side of the main body seat 11; the support cavity and one side of the main body seat 11 form a counterweight cavity 41; the support bone 131 is provided in the support cavity; the second guide port 22 is provided on the support seat 13.

[0070] This structural design ensures that the functions of each part of the main body 1 are clearly defined and that they cooperate with each other. The main body base 11, as the core support component, provides a basic path for the flow of media such as water through its internal guiding cavity and first guiding port 21. The sleeve 12 is installed on the main body base 11 and communicates with the guiding cavity to form a channel 42, which can guide the media to flow in a specific direction. The support base 13, through its support cavity, cooperates with the main body base 11 to form a counterweight cavity 41, providing a stable space for the counterweight 3. The support bone 131, located within the support cavity, further enhances the structural stability.

[0071] Furthermore, the sleeve 12 and the main body 11 are integrally connected (one-piece molded). This design reduces the connection gaps between components, improves the overall sealing and reliability of the structure, and avoids media leakage problems that may occur due to loose connections. At the same time, the integral connection design also simplifies the assembly process, improves production efficiency, and reduces manufacturing costs. In practical applications, the integrally connected sleeve 12 and main body 11 can better withstand various stresses and vibrations that may occur during use, ensuring the long-term stable working performance of the tipping and overflow prevention mechanism.

[0072] Furthermore, a connecting flange 111 is provided around the first guide port 21 on one side of the main body 11; one end of the support 13 is connected to the connecting flange 111.

[0073] The design of the connecting flange 111 provides a solid foundation for the connection between the support base 13 and the main body base 11. By setting the connecting flange 111 around the first guide port 21, not only is the strength of the main body base 11 enhanced in this area, but it also provides a clear positioning and connection point for the installation of the support base 13. The connection method between one end of the support base 13 and the connecting flange 111 ensures a tight fit between the two, preventing loosening or displacement during use. This connection method can be achieved through threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, or other reliable connection forms, selected according to actual needs and manufacturing processes. The presence of the connecting flange 111 makes the entire tilting and overflow prevention mechanism more compact and stable, improving its safety and reliability during use.

[0074] Furthermore, the connecting flange 111 is provided with a first connecting portion 112; one end of the support seat 13 is provided with a second connecting portion 132 that is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 112.

[0075] In practical applications, when the mechanism needs maintenance, cleaning, or component replacement, the support seat 13 can be easily removed from the main body seat 11 by simply separating the first connecting part 112 and the second connecting part 132. This facilitates the inspection and handling of key components such as the counterweight cavity 41 and the counterweight body 3. This detachable connection method can take various forms, such as bolted connections or pin connections, and the specific choice should be determined based on the actual situation and usage requirements of the mechanism. Simultaneously, the detachable connection design also facilitates flexible configuration and upgrades of the tipping and overflow prevention mechanism according to different usage scenarios and needs, improving its applicability and expandability. Furthermore, this design helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the mechanism because standardized connecting components can be used in the production process, improving production efficiency and reducing inventory costs. Moreover, during transportation, detachable components allow for easier packaging and handling, reducing the risk of damage during transport and further ensuring product quality and reliability.

[0076] Furthermore, the inner wall surface of the connecting flange 111 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 113. The arrangement of the reinforcing ribs 113 significantly enhances the structural strength of the connecting flange 111, enabling it to better withstand the pressure and stress brought by the support seat 13 and other possible additional components.

[0077] Furthermore, the other side of the main body 11 is provided with an opening, on which a face cover 14 can be detachably installed.

[0078] The detachable design of the cover 14 greatly facilitates the internal maintenance and inspection of the spill prevention mechanism. In actual use, if foreign objects are found inside the mechanism, simply remove the cover 14 from the opening of the main body 11 to directly observe and operate the interior. This design avoids maintenance difficulties caused by the enclosed structure of the mechanism, reducing maintenance time and costs. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the cover 14 and the main body 11 can be achieved through various methods, such as snap-fit ​​connections or screw connections, ensuring the stability and sealing of the connection and preventing media leakage caused by the cover 14 loosening during normal use.

[0079] Furthermore, there are multiple first guide ports 21, each corresponding to a groove for one-to-one communication. Each first guide port 21 is connected to a corresponding groove, ensuring that water or gas can smoothly pass through the groove and the first guide port 21 into the channel 42 for discharge when the kettle is in a normal upright position. Simultaneously, the presence of multiple first guide ports 21 increases the flow path of the medium, helping to improve the efficiency of steam discharge, reduce the accumulation of pressure inside the kettle, and further ensure the safety and stability of the kettle's use.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, this application also discloses a kettle, including a kettle body 5 and a tipping anti-overflow mechanism; the kettle body 5 includes a kettle body 51 and a kettle lid 52 mounted on the kettle body 51; the tipping anti-overflow mechanism is installed on the steam pipe 53 of the kettle body 51; the tipping anti-overflow mechanism is connected to the steam pipe through a second guide port 22 or a channel 42. Taking the channel 42 connection as an example, then the sleeve 12 can be fitted onto the steam pipe 53; and the second guide port 22 connection can be used to install the support 13 on the steam pipe. Installing the tipping anti-overflow mechanism on the steam pipe 53 in the kettle body 51, compared to installing it on the kettle lid 52, can reduce the weight of the kettle lid 52, make the kettle lid 52 more aesthetically pleasing, and prevent water from flowing back into the steam pipe 53 after the kettle is tipped over, thus affecting the safety of related electrical components inside the kettle.

[0081] The above provides a detailed description of the anti-overflow mechanism and kettle provided in this application. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
