Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE The present disclosure relates to the field of household appliances, and more particularly to liquid heating vessels. [Background technology]

[0002] A liquid heating container typically includes a container lid, a container body, and a heating element. During the heating process, the liquid in the container body generates steam, which must be vented to balance the air pressure inside and outside the container body. The container lid has an inlet, a passage, and an outlet. Steam enters the passage through the inlet, passes through the passage, and is then vented through the outlet. However, if the container body is tilted to one side, the liquid level inside the container body may tilt, causing the inlet to be positioned below the liquid level. As a result, the steam inside the container body cannot be vented through the passage, affecting the safety of the liquid heating container. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The present disclosure provides a liquid heating container that helps solve a problem in the prior art whereby a passage in the container lid cannot be properly used when pouring liquid from a tilted liquid heating container. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides a liquid heating container, the liquid heating container comprising a container body and a container lid, the container lid being covered by the container body. The container lid has a first passage and a second passage, the first passage having a first inlet and a first outlet, the second passage having a second inlet and a second outlet, the first inlet and second inlet communicating with an internal cavity of the container body, and the first outlet and second outlet communicating with the outside. The container lid further comprises a first spacer disposed within the first passage, the projection of the first spacer onto the second inlet along a first direction overlapping at least a portion of the second inlet, and the first spacer configured to separate the first inlet and the second inlet.

[0005] In this embodiment, the container lid is provided with a first and second passageway. During the heating process, the liquid in the container body is heated and boils. The steam generated by this process enters the first and second passageways through the first and second inlets, which are connected to the container body's internal cavity, respectively, and then flows through the first and second passageways before being discharged through the first and second outlets, which are connected to the outside. This prevents excessive pressure buildup due to steam accumulation in the container body's internal cavity and improves the safety of the liquid heating container. The provision of the first and second passageways in the container lid further improves the steam discharge rate. At the same time, in this embodiment, a first spacer is provided in the first passageway to separate the first and second inlets, thereby separating the first and second passageways. Even when the kettle body is tilted and one of the passageways is below the liquid level in the container chamber, the other passageway remains operational, allowing steam to be discharged normally and improving the safety of the liquid heating container. Furthermore, the projection of the first spacer onto the second inlet along the first direction overlaps with at least a portion of the second inlet, thereby causing at least a portion of the second inlet to overlap with the projection of the first passage along the first direction, facilitating the arrangement of the first inlet and the second inlet.

[0006] In a specific embodiment, the first spacer comprises a first top wall and a first side wall connected to each other, the first side wall surrounding a portion of the second inlet, and the first top wall positioned above the second inlet along a first direction.

[0007] In this embodiment, the first top wall is positioned above the second inlet, i.e., there is a gap between the first top wall and the second inlet along the first direction, and the first side wall surrounds a portion of the second inlet, i.e., the first side wall has a first opening, and the second passage can be connected to the internal cavity of the container body through the first opening. The first spacer separates the first inlet and the second inlet, and the second passage can be connected to the internal cavity of the container body through the first opening, allowing vapor to be discharged from the second passage. At the same time, when liquid flows into the second passage through the second inlet, the liquid collides with the first top wall and first side wall of the first spacer, and some of the liquid flows back into the internal cavity of the container body, thereby restricting the amount of liquid flowing into the second passage and reducing liquid leakage.

[0008] In a specific embodiment, the container lid has a first bottom wall, the container body has a second bottom wall, the second inlet is installed at a first position on the first bottom wall, and the first position is a position where the distance between the first bottom wall and the second bottom wall of the container body is smallest.

[0009] In this embodiment, the second inlet is located at the lowest position of the first bottom wall in the first direction. Therefore, a small amount of liquid flowing into the passage through the second inlet can be guided by the first bottom wall back to the position of the second inlet, preventing liquid from accumulating in the second passage and further improving the leak-proofing effect of the liquid heating container. Furthermore, since steam flows through the second passage and is cooled to produce condensed water, the second inlet is located at the first position of the first bottom wall in the first direction. This facilitates the condensed water to circulate back to the second inlet. The condensed water then flows back into the internal cavity of the container body through the second inlet, preventing condensed water from accumulating in the passage. Furthermore, since the second inlet is located at the lowest position of the first bottom wall, the dimension of the first passage in the first spacer in the first direction can be increased. As a result, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first passage at that position is increased, improving steam flow.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, the container lid further comprises a second spacer, the second spacer separating the first and second outlets.

[0011] In this embodiment, the first outlet and the second outlet are installed on the first convex rib, so that steam in the passage can be quickly discharged to the outside, the first outlet and the second outlet are installed on both sides of the second spacer, so that the first outlet and the second outlet are independent of each other, and the first inlet and the second inlet are installed on both sides of the second convex rib, so that the first inlet and the second outlet are independent of each other, and the first passage and the second passage are independent of each other. Thus, in this embodiment, by separating the first inlet and the second inlet and separating the first outlet and the second outlet, the first passage and the second passage can be easily separated, and as a result, exhaust can be reliably performed even when the liquid heating container is tilted.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, the second spacer extends along a second direction, and the first inlet and the second inlet are arranged symmetrically with respect to a line on which the second spacer is located.

[0013] In this embodiment, the first inlet and the second inlet are arranged symmetrically with respect to the line on which the second spacer is positioned, so that even if the liquid heating container is tilted along the third direction and one of the inlets is positioned below the liquid surface, the other inlet can be used normally, improving the safety of the liquid heating container. Also, in this embodiment, the first outlet and the second outlet are arranged symmetrically with respect to the line on which the second spacer is positioned, so that the lengths of the first passage and the second passage are similar, improving the uniformity of the first passage and the second passage.

[0014] In a specific embodiment, the container lid has a first convex rib, a second convex rib, and a second spacer, the first convex rib and the second convex rib both protrude along the first direction, the second convex rib is positioned in a space surrounded by the first convex rib, the first convex rib, the second convex rib, the second spacer, and the container lid form the first passage and the second passage by surrounding them, and the first outlet and the second outlet are installed on the first convex rib.

[0015] In this embodiment, the container lid has a first convex rib and a second convex rib protruding in a first direction, the second convex rib being positioned in a space surrounded by the first convex rib, and the second convex rib and the first convex rib can surround a passage, and the container lid is provided with a second spacer separating the first passage and the second passage so as to isolate the first passage and the second passage from each other. In this embodiment, the first convex rib and the second convex rib are provided on the container lid, thereby forming the first passage and the second passage, which has the advantages of being simple in structure and easy to implement, and also improving the sealing of the first passage and the second passage and reducing steam leakage. The first outlet and the second outlet are provided on the first convex rib to quickly discharge steam from the passage to the outside, and the first outlet and the second outlet are located on both sides of the spacer, so that the first outlet and the second outlet are independent of each other, and the first inlet and the second inlet are located on both sides of the second convex rib, so that the first inlet and the second outlet are independent of each other, thereby isolating the first passage and the second passage from each other.

[0016] In a specific embodiment, the second convex rib comprises a first section and a second section connected to each other, the first section and the second section have a curved structure, one end of the first section is connected to the first convex rib, the other end of the first section is connected to one end of the second section, and a gap is provided between the other end of the second section and the first convex rib, thereby the first passage and the second passage have a curved structure.

[0017] In this embodiment, a first end of the first section is connected to the first convex rib, and the other end of the first section is connected to the second section. A gap is formed between the second section and the first convex rib, forming a first passage and a second passage that are separated from each other. Steam entering the passages from the first inlet and the second inlet is separated by the first section and the second section and discharged from the first outlet and the second outlet, respectively. Furthermore, the first passage and the second passage have a bent structure. When the liquid heating container is tilted to the left in the third direction, the first inlet is positioned below the liquid level, and liquid in the internal cavity of the container body flows into the first passage from the first inlet. At this time, the first inlet is positioned at the lowest point in the first direction, and the inflection point of the first passage (i.e., the connection point between the first section and the second section) is positioned at the highest point. This prevents the liquid from passing through the inflection point, thereby reducing liquid leakage. When the liquid heating container is tilted to the right along the third direction, the second inlet is positioned below the liquid surface, and the liquid in the internal cavity of the container body flows into the second passage through the second inlet. At this time, the second inlet is positioned at the lowest point along the first direction, and the inflection point of the second passage (i.e., the gap between the second section and the first convex rib) is positioned at the highest point, preventing the liquid from passing through the inflection point and reducing liquid leakage. Furthermore, during exhaust, the curved first and second passages provide a buffering effect for the steam, reducing exhaust noise. Furthermore, the longer path the steam takes as it flows through the curved first and second passages promotes condensation of the steam.

[0018] In a specific embodiment, the first spacer is positioned at a bent position of the first passageway.

[0019] In this embodiment, the first inlet and the second inlet are located on either side in the second direction, and further, the first inlet and the second inlet are arranged symmetrically with respect to the second direction, so that the first spacer is located at a bending position of the first passage, and the first inlet and the second inlet are spaced apart and arranged symmetrically with respect to the second direction. Also, because the second inlet is located at a position corresponding to the bending position of the first passage, the distance between the first inlet and the second inlet is large, and when the liquid heating container is tilted and the first inlet (or the second inlet) is located below the liquid surface, the second inlet (or the first inlet) with the larger distance is located above the liquid surface, thereby ensuring exhaust.

[0020] In a specific embodiment, the container lid comprises an upper lid, an intermediate lid and a lower lid that are detachably connected along a first direction, and the first convex rib, the second convex rib, the second spacer, the intermediate lid and the lower lid form surrounding the first passage and the second passage.

[0021] In this embodiment, the container lid includes an upper lid, an intermediate lid, and a lower lid that are connected along a first direction, and the upper lid, the intermediate lid, and the lower lid are detachably connected, which facilitates assembly work and also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement work. The first convex rib, the second convex rib, the second spacer, the intermediate lid, and the lower lid form a passage, and by improving the sealing of the passage, steam in the internal cavity of the container body can flow along a predetermined flow direction.

[0022] In a specific embodiment, the first convex rib and the second convex rib are installed on the lower cover, the middle cover has a third convex rib, the third convex rib and the middle cover surround and form a first recess and a second recess, the first convex rib is fitted into the first recess, and the second convex rib is fitted into the second recess.

[0023] In this embodiment, the first convex rib is fitted into the first recess, and the second convex rib is fitted into the second recess, thereby improving the sealing of the passage and improving the connection reliability between the first convex rib and the first recess, and between the second convex rib and the second recess, preventing the middle cover and the lower cover from loosening during use and increasing safety in use.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, the first passage is provided with a first passage blocking portion, and / or the second passage is provided with a second passage blocking portion.

[0025] In this embodiment, a first passage blocking portion is provided in the first passage, and when liquid that has flowed into the first passage from the first inlet flows through the first passage, the liquid collides with the first passage blocking portion, preventing it from flowing further within the first passage, and is guided by the first bottom wall to redirect the liquid from the first inlet to the internal cavity of the container body, thereby reducing liquid leakage.A second passage blocking portion is provided in the second passage, and when liquid that has flowed into the second passage from the second inlet flows through the second passage, the liquid collides with the second passage blocking portion, preventing it from flowing further within the second passage, and is guided by the first bottom wall to redirect the liquid from the second inlet to the internal cavity of the container body, thereby reducing liquid leakage.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the container lid has a blocking portion, and a projection of the blocking portion along a first direction covers at least a partial cross section of the first inlet.

[0027] In this embodiment, the blocking unit includes a second upper wall and a connecting portion, and a gap is provided between the second upper wall and the first inlet along the first direction. That is, the second upper wall of the blocking unit is positioned above the first inlet, and the connecting portion is connected to the second upper wall and the container lid, and the connecting portion has a second opening, thereby connecting the first passage to the internal cavity of the container body through the second opening. A gap is provided between the second upper wall of the blocking unit and the first inlet along the first direction, and the connecting portion has a second opening. This allows the first passage to communicate with the internal cavity of the container body through the second opening, ensuring normal vapor flow. At the same time, when liquid flows from the first inlet into the first passage, the liquid collides with the second upper wall and the connecting portion of the blocking unit, and some of the liquid circulates back into the internal cavity of the container body, reducing the amount of liquid entering the first passage and reducing liquid leakage. In this embodiment, the blocking unit is installed to reduce liquid leakage, which has the advantages of a simple structure and easy implementation.

[0028] It is to be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary only and are not restrictive of the present disclosure. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0030] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the following detailed description of embodiments of the present disclosure is provided with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] It is clear that the described embodiments are only a part, not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0034] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a liquid heating container 1, as shown in Figure 1. The liquid heating container 1 includes a container lid 11 and a container body 12, with the container lid 11 being covered by the container body 12. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the container lid 11 has a passage 114, with the passage 114 having an inlet 115 and an outlet 116, with the inlet 115 communicating with the internal cavity of the container body and the outlet 116 communicating with the outside. The passage 114 includes a first passage 114a and a second passage 114b, the inlet 115 includes a first inlet 115a and a second inlet 115b, and the outlet 116 includes a first outlet 116a and a second outlet 116b. The first passage 114a includes the first inlet 115a and the first outlet 116a, and the second passage 114b includes the second inlet 115b and the second outlet 116b. The first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are connected to the internal cavity of the container body, and the first outlet 116a and the second outlet 116b are connected to the outside. The container lid 11 further includes a first spacer 19 installed within the first passage 114a. A projection of the first spacer 19 onto the second inlet 115b along the first direction X overlaps at least a portion of the second inlet 115b. A first spacer 19 is configured to separate the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b.

[0035] In this embodiment, the container lid 11 is provided with the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b. During the heating process of the liquid heating container 1, the liquid in the container body 12 is heated and boils. The vapor generated enters the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b via the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b, which are connected to the internal cavity of the container body 12, respectively, and flows through the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b. After flowing through the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b, the vapor is discharged through the first outlet 116a and the second outlet 116b, which are connected to the outside. This prevents excessive pressure buildup due to vapor accumulation in the internal cavity of the container body 12, improving the safety of the liquid heating container 1. The provision of the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b in the container lid 11 further improves the vapor discharge rate.

[0036] At the same time, in this embodiment, a first spacer 19 is installed in the first passage 114a to separate the first inlet 115a from the second inlet 115b, thereby making the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b independent of each other (the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2 is the approximate direction of steam flow). Even if the kettle body is tilted and the inlet 115 of one of the passages 114 is positioned below the liquid level in the container chamber, the other passages 114 can still be used normally, thereby allowing steam to be discharged normally and improving the safety of the liquid heating container. Furthermore, the projection of the first spacer 19 onto the second inlet 115b along the first direction X overlaps at least a portion of the second inlet 115b, thereby overlapping at least a portion of the second inlet 115b with the projection of the first passage 114a along the first direction X, facilitating the arrangement of the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first direction X may be the height direction of the liquid heating container.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first spacer 19 includes a first top wall 191 and a first side wall 192 connected to each other, the first side wall 192 surrounding a portion of the second inlet 115b, and the first top wall 191 positioned above the second inlet 115b along the first direction X.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first top wall 191 is positioned above the second inlet 115b, i.e., there is a gap between the first top wall 191 and the second inlet 115b along the first direction, and the first side wall 192 surrounds a portion of the second inlet 115b, i.e., the first side wall 192 has a first opening 193 through which the second passage 114b can connect to the internal cavity of the container body. Assuming that the first spacer 19 separates the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b, the second passage 114b can connect to the internal cavity of the container body through the first opening 193, thereby allowing steam to be discharged from the second passage 114b. At the same time, when the liquid flows into the second passage 114b through the second inlet 115b, the liquid collides with the first top wall 191 and the first side wall 192 of the first spacer 19, and some of the liquid is diverted into the internal cavity of the container body, thereby restricting the amount of liquid flowing into the second passage and reducing liquid leakage.

[0040] 4 and 5, in this embodiment, the container lid 11 has a first bottom wall 113e, the container body has a second bottom wall, the first bottom wall 113e is the inner bottom wall of the container lid 11 (i.e., the inner bottom wall of the passage 114), the second bottom wall is the inner bottom wall of the internal cavity of the container body, and the second inlet 115b is located at a first position on the first bottom wall 113e. The first position is the position where the distance between the first bottom wall 113e and the second bottom wall is shortest, i.e., the second inlet 115b is located at the lowest position of the first bottom wall 113e along the first direction X. Therefore, a small amount of liquid flowing into the passage 114 through the second inlet 115b can be guided by the first bottom wall 113e to return to the position at the second inlet 115b, thereby preventing liquid from accumulating in the second passage 114b and further improving the leak-proof effect of the liquid heating container. Furthermore, since the steam is cooled and condensed water is generated when the steam flows through the second passage 114b, the second inlet 115b is provided at a first position on the first bottom wall 113e along the first direction X, which makes it easier for the condensed water to return to the second inlet 115b and prevent the condensed water from accumulating in the passage by returning the condensed water to the internal cavity of the container body through the second inlet 115b. Also, since the second inlet 115b is provided at the lowest position on the first bottom wall 113e, the dimension of the first passage in the first direction of the first spacer can be increased, which results in an increased flow path cross-sectional area of ​​the first passage at that position and improved steam flow.

[0041] 2 and 6, the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are located on either side of the second direction Y, and the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are arranged symmetrically with respect to the second direction Y. As shown in FIG. 2, the container lid has an axis of symmetry L (shown by a dashed line in FIG. 2), which is an axis passing through the center of the spout of the container lid and the handle, and which is perpendicular to the first direction X and extends in the second direction Y.

[0042] When viewed from the perspective shown in Figure 1, the first direction X is the height direction of the liquid heating container 1, i.e., the first direction X is the up-down direction shown in Figure 1, the second direction Y is the direction in which the handle 15 and liquid outlet 14 of the liquid heating container 1 are arranged, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to both the first direction X and the second direction Y, i.e., the third direction Z is the front-to-back direction shown in Figure 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are symmetrically disposed with respect to the second direction Y and spaced apart from each other. When the liquid heating container is tilted, the liquid level in the container body also tilts accordingly. When the liquid heating container is tilted to the left along the third direction Z, i.e., when the liquid heating container is tilted toward the first inlet 115a, the first inlet 115a becomes the lowest point of the first bottom wall 113e along the first direction X, and the second inlet 115b becomes the highest point of the first bottom wall. When the first inlet 115a is positioned below the liquid level, the second inlet 115b can be positioned above the liquid level, and the liquid heating container can discharge steam through the second inlet 115b, the second passage 114b, and the second outlet 116b. When the liquid heating container is tilted to the right along the third direction Z, i.e., when the liquid heating container is tilted toward the second inlet 115b, the first inlet 115a is the highest point of the first bottom wall and the second inlet 115b is the lowest point of the first bottom wall along the first direction X. When the second inlet 115b is positioned below the liquid level, the first inlet 115a can be positioned above the liquid level, and the liquid heating container can discharge steam through the first inlet 115a, the first passage 114a, and the first outlet 116a.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the container lid 11 has a blocking portion 13, and the projection of the blocking portion 13 along the first direction X covers at least a partial cross section of the first inlet.

[0045] In this embodiment, the blocking unit 13 includes a second upper wall 131 and a connecting portion 132, and a gap is provided between the second upper wall 131 and the first inlet 115a in the first direction X. That is, the second upper wall 131 of the blocking unit 13 is positioned above the first inlet 115a, and the connecting portion 132 is connected to the second upper wall 131 and the container lid 11. The connecting portion 132 has a second opening 132a, so that the first passage 114a communicates with the internal cavity of the container body through the second opening 132a. A gap is provided between the second upper wall 131 and the first inlet 115a of the blocking unit 13 in the first direction X, and the connecting portion 132 has a second opening. As a result, the first passage 114a communicates with the internal cavity of the container body through the second opening 132a, ensuring normal steam flow. At the same time, when the liquid flows into the first passage 114a from the first inlet 115a, the liquid collides with the second upper wall 131 and the connecting part 132 of the blocking part 13, and some of the liquid is diverted into the internal cavity of the container body, thereby reducing the amount of liquid entering the first passage 114a and reducing liquid leakage. In this embodiment, the blocking part 13 is installed to reduce liquid leakage, which has the advantage of being simple in structure and easy to implement.

[0046] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, as long as there is a gap between the second upper wall 131 and the first inlet 115a along the first direction X and the connecting portion 132 has an opening 132a, the cross section of the blocking portion 13 may be L-shaped or may have other shapes.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the blocking portion 13 is connected to a portion of the side wall of the first inlet 115a, the blocking portion 13 is positioned within the first inlet 115a, and the blocking portion 13 has a gap with another portion of the side wall of the first inlet 115a.

[0048] In this embodiment, the blocking part 13 is located within the first inlet 115a, and a gap is provided between the blocking part 13 and the side wall of the first inlet 115a, so that steam flows into the first passage 114a through the gap between the blocking part 13 and the side wall of the first inlet 115a, ensuring exhaust. At the same time, the liquid flowing in from the first inlet 115a is blocked by the blocking part 13, reducing leakage of the liquid.

[0049] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the blocking portion 13 may have a strip-like structure, and both ends of the blocking portion 13 are connected to the inner wall of the first inlet 115a.

[0050] 11 and 12, the container lid may have a plurality of blocking sections 13, each of which has a strip-like structure, both ends of which are connected to the inner wall of the first inlet 115a, and the projections of the blocking sections 13 along the first direction X are all located within the projection range of the first inlet 115a, thereby further improving the liquid blocking effect of the blocking sections 13. Gaps are provided between the blocking sections 13, and vapor can enter the first passage 114a through these gaps.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the above-mentioned blocking section (not shown) can be provided at both the first inlet and the second inlet, i.e., the first blocking section is provided at the first inlet and the second blocking section is provided at the second inlet, and the structures of the first blocking section and the second blocking section may be the same or different.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the container lid 11 has a first convex rib 113a and a second convex rib 113b, the first convex rib 113a and the second convex rib 113b both protrude along the first direction X, the second convex rib 113b is located in the space surrounded by the first convex rib 113a, the container lid 11 further has a second spacer 112a, the first convex rib 113a, the second convex rib 113b, the second spacer 112a and the container lid 11 surround and form a first passage 114a and a second passage 114b, and the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b are separated by the second spacer 112a.

[0053] In this embodiment, the container lid 11 has a first convex rib 113a and a second convex rib 113b protruding along the first direction X, the second convex rib 113b being positioned in a space surrounded by the first convex rib 113a, the second convex rib 113b and the first convex rib 113a being able to surround the passage 114, and the container lid 11 being provided with a second spacer 112a separating the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b so as to separate the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b from each other. In this embodiment, providing the first convex rib 113a and the second convex rib 113b on the container lid 11 forms the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b, which has the advantages of being simple in structure and easy to implement, and also improving the sealing of the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b, thereby reducing steam leakage.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 8, the container lid 11 includes an upper lid 111, an intermediate lid 112, and a lower lid 113 connected along a first direction X, and the first convex rib, the second convex rib, the second spacer, the intermediate lid 112, and the lower lid 113 surround and form a first passage 114a and a second passage 114b.

[0055] In this embodiment, the container lid 11 includes an upper lid 111, an intermediate lid 112, and a lower lid 113 that are connected along a first direction X. The upper lid 111, the intermediate lid 112, and the lower lid 113 are detachably connected, which facilitates assembly work and also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement work. The first convex rib, the second convex rib, the second spacer, the intermediate lid 112, and the lower lid 113 form a passage 114 surrounding the passage 114, improving the sealing of the passage 114 and allowing steam in the internal cavity of the container body to flow in a predetermined flow direction (the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 2 is the approximate flow direction of the steam).

[0056] 11, the lower cover 113 includes a first protruding rib 113a and a second protruding rib 113b, both of which protrude in the first direction X, with the second protruding rib 113b located in a space surrounded by the first protruding rib 113a. The container cover 11 further includes a second spacer 112a, with the first protruding rib 113a, the second protruding rib 113b, the second spacer 112a, and the middle cover 112 surroundingly forming a first passage 114a and a second passage 114b, which are separated by the second spacer 112a.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first convex rib 113a and the second convex rib 113b are installed on the lower cover 113, and the second spacer 112a is installed on the middle cover 112. When the middle cover 112 is connected to the lower cover 113, the first convex rib 113a, the second convex rib 113b, the second spacer 112a, and the middle cover 112 can surround the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b, thereby improving the sealing of the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the first outlet 116a and the second outlet 116b are installed on the first convex rib 113a, and along the second direction Y, the first outlet 116a and the second outlet 116b are located on both sides of the second spacer 112a, and the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are located on both sides of the second convex rib 113b.

[0059] In this embodiment, first outlet 116a and second outlet 116b are installed on first convex rib 113a, so steam in passage 114 can be quickly discharged to the outside, first outlet 116a and second outlet 116b are installed on both sides of second spacer 112a, so first outlet 116a and second outlet 116b are independent of each other, and first inlet 115a and second inlet 115b are arranged on both sides of second convex rib 113b, so first inlet 115a and second inlet 115b are independent of each other, and first passage 114a and second passage 114b are independent of each other. As a result, in this embodiment, first inlet 115a and second inlet 115b are separated, and first outlet 116a and second outlet 116b are separated, so first passage 114a and second passage 114b can be easily separated, and as a result, exhaust can be reliably performed even when the liquid heating container is tilted.

[0060] 2, the second spacer 112a extends along the second direction Y, with one end of the second spacer 112a connected to the first protruding rib 113a and the other end connected to the second protruding rib 113b. In this embodiment, the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are disposed symmetrically with respect to the line on which the second spacer 112a is positioned (the line on which the second spacer 112a is positioned is the aforementioned axis of symmetry L).

[0061] In this embodiment, the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are arranged symmetrically with respect to the line on which the second spacer 112a is positioned (the line on which the second spacer 112a is positioned is the aforementioned axis of symmetry L), so even if the liquid heating container is tilted along the third direction Z and one of the inlets 115 is positioned below the liquid surface, the other inlet 115 can be used normally, improving the safety of the liquid heating container. Also, in this embodiment, the first outlet 116a and the second outlet 116b are arranged symmetrically with respect to the line on which the second spacer 112a is positioned, so the lengths of the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b are similar, improving the uniformity of the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, an exhaust hole 112e communicating with the outside is further provided on the side wall of the intermediate cover, and the exhaust hole 112e corresponds to the positions of the first outlet and the second outlet along the second direction Y. The projection of the exhaust hole 112e covers the first outlet and the second outlet, so that steam discharged from the first outlet and the second outlet can be quickly discharged through the exhaust hole, thereby improving the exhaust speed.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, as shown in Figures 11 and 13, the second convex rib 113b has a first section 113c and a second section 113d connected to each other, the first section 113c and the second section 113d have a curved structure, one end of the first section 113c is connected to the first convex rib 113a, the other end of the first section 113c is connected to one end of the second section 113d, and a gap is provided between the other end of the second section 113d and the first convex rib 113a, thereby the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b have a curved structure.

[0064] In this embodiment, a first end of the first section 113c is connected to the first convex rib 113a, and the other end of the first section 113c is connected to the second section 113d. A gap is formed between the second section 113d and the first convex rib 113a, forming a first passage 114a and a second passage 114b that are separated from each other. Steam entering the passages from the first inlet and the second inlet is separated by the first section 113c and the second section 113d and discharged from the first outlet 116a and the second outlet 116b, respectively. Furthermore, the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b have a bent structure. When the liquid heating container is tilted left along the third direction Z, the first inlet is positioned below the liquid surface, and the liquid in the internal cavity of the container body flows into the first passage 114a from the first inlet. At this time, the first inlet is located at the lowest point along the first direction X, and the inflection point of the first passage 114a (i.e., the connection point between the first section 113c and the second section 113d) is located at the highest point, preventing the liquid from passing through the inflection point and reducing liquid leakage. When the liquid heating container is tilted to the right along the third direction Z, the second inlet is located below the liquid level, and the liquid in the internal cavity of the container body flows into the second passage 114b through the second inlet. At this time, the second inlet is located at the lowest point along the first direction X, and the inflection point of the second passage 114b (i.e., the gap between the second section 113d and the first protruding rib 113a) is located at the highest point, preventing the liquid from passing through the inflection point and reducing liquid leakage. Furthermore, during exhaust, the curved shapes of the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b provide a buffering effect against steam, reducing exhaust noise. Furthermore, the path of the steam becomes longer when it flows through the first passage 114a and the second passage 114b, which are bent, and therefore condensation of the steam is promoted.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the first spacer 19 is positioned at a bent position in the first passage 114a.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are located on either side of the second direction Y, and further, the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are arranged symmetrically with respect to the second direction Y. Therefore, the first spacer 19 is located at a bending position of the first passage 114a, and the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b are spaced apart and arranged symmetrically with respect to the second direction Y. Furthermore, the second inlet 115b is located at a position corresponding to the bending position of the first passage 114a, so that the distance between the first inlet 115a and the second inlet 115b is large. When the liquid heating container is tilted and the first inlet 115a (or the second inlet 115b) is positioned below the liquid surface, the second inlet 115b (or the first inlet 115a), which is located at a larger distance, is positioned above the liquid surface, thereby ensuring exhaust.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the intermediate cover 112 has a third convex rib 112b, and the third convex rib 112b and the intermediate cover 112 surround and form a first recess 112c and a second recess 112d, with the first convex rib being fitted into the first recess 112c and the second convex rib being fitted into the second recess 112d, so that the first passage and the second passage are surrounded by the intermediate cover and the lower cover, thereby forming the container cover shown in FIG. 3.

[0068] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the first convex rib 113a is fitted into the first recess 112c, and the second convex rib 113b is fitted into the second recess 112d, thereby improving the sealing of the passage and improving the connection reliability between the first convex rib 113a and the first recess 112c, and between the second convex rib 113b and the second recess 112d, preventing the middle cover 112 and the lower cover 113 from loosening during use and increasing safety in use.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 13, a seal ring 16 is provided in the first recess 112c and the second recess 112d, and when the lower cover 113 is connected to the intermediate cover 112, the seal ring 16 is positioned between the first convex rib and the first recess 112c, and between the second convex rib and the second recess 112d along the first direction X, thereby further improving the sealing of the passage 114.

[0070] 11 , the first passage 114a is provided with a first passage blocking portion 117, and / or the second passage 114b is provided with a second passage blocking portion 118. That is, in the first specific embodiment, the first passage 114a is provided with the first passage blocking portion 117, in the second specific embodiment, the second passage 114b is provided with the second passage blocking portion 118, and in the third specific embodiment, the first passage 114a is provided with the first passage blocking portion 117 and the second passage 114b is provided with the second passage blocking portion 118. In the above three embodiments, the first passage blocking portion 117 and / or the second passage blocking portion 118 serve to block the flow of liquid. First passage 114a is provided with first passage blocking portion 117, and when liquid flows through first passage 114a from the first inlet, the liquid collides with first passage blocking portion 117, preventing it from flowing further within first passage 114a, and is guided by the first bottom wall to redirect the liquid from the first inlet to the internal cavity of the container body, thereby reducing liquid leakage. Second passage 114b is provided with second passage blocking portion 118, and when liquid flows through second passage 114b from the second inlet, the liquid collides with second passage blocking portion 118, preventing it from flowing further within second passage 114b, and is guided by the first bottom wall to redirect the liquid from the second inlet to the internal cavity of the container body, thereby reducing liquid leakage. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the container lid 11 is provided with a mounting post for attaching a screw (this mounting post may function as the first passage blocking portion 117 shown in FIG. 11), and the side wall of the mounting hole penetrates the first passage 114a.

[0071] In this embodiment, a mounting hole is provided in the container lid 11, and the upper lid, middle lid 112, and lower lid 113 are connected in sequence by screws, with the mounting hole providing space for the screws. The side wall of the mounting hole penetrates the first passage 114a, and when liquid flows into the first passage 114a from the inlet, the liquid collides with the side wall of the mounting hole, preventing the liquid from flowing, and the liquid flows back through the inlet into the internal cavity of the container body.

[0072] 11 and 14, the second convex rib 113b is provided with a first reinforcing rib 17, and the third convex rib 112b is provided with a second reinforcing rib 18. The first reinforcing rib 17 and the second reinforcing rib 18 reinforce the structures of the second convex rib 113b and the third convex rib 112b, and can extend the service life of the second convex rib 113b and the third convex rib 112b.
