[0026] 1 to 10 are schematic diagrams of several embodiments of pour-over kettles of the present invention.

[0027] 1 to 10, mainly referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, the pour-over kettle according to some embodiments of the present invention may be referred to as "pour-over kettle" for ease of description. The pour-over kettle according to some embodiments of the present invention includes a kettle body 100, a liquid outlet pipe 200, a handle part 300 and a seal cover 400. In this embodiment, the kettle body 100 is a rotating body with a small upper part and a large lower part, and a receiving cavity 110 is provided inside the kettle body 100, and the receiving cavity 110 can be used to load materials such as water, coffee or tea, and an opening 120 communicating with the receiving cavity 110 is provided at the upper part of the kettle body 100. The seal cover 400 is removably attached to the opening 120 at the upper part of the kettle body 100. When the sealing cover 400 is attached to the opening 120 at the top of the kettle body 100, the sealing cover 400 can seal the opening 120. When the user removes the sealing cover 400 from the opening 120 at the top of the kettle body 100, the sealing cover 400 opens the opening 120, and at this time, external materials such as water or coffee powder or tea leaves can enter the receiving cavity 110 through the opening 120. After the addition of materials is completed, the user can attach the sealing cover 400 to the opening 120 at the top of the kettle body 100 again to close the opening 120. The liquid discharge pipe 200 is installed on the outer surface of one side of the kettle body 100, and the lower end of the liquid discharge pipe 200 communicates with the receiving cavity 110, and the upper end of the liquid discharge pipe 200 has a liquid discharge port 210. The liquid stored inside the accommodating cavity 110 flows into the liquid discharge pipe 200 from the position where the lower end of the liquid discharge pipe 200 communicates with the accommodating cavity 110, and the liquid can flow out from the liquid discharge port 210 at the upper part of the liquid discharge pipe 200. In this embodiment, the liquid discharge pipe 200 is approximately S-shaped. The upper end of the liquid discharge pipe 200 extends upward so that the horizontal height of the upper end of the liquid discharge pipe 200 basically coincides with the horizontal height of the upper part of the kettle body 100, or is slightly lower than the horizontal height of the upper part of the kettle body 100.Handle portion 300 is installed on the side of kettle body 100 away from liquid discharge pipe 200. In this embodiment, when kettle body 100 falls onto a supporting surface such as a table or a floor, the center of gravity of kettle body 100 is located at handle portion 300, and kettle body 100 is brought into a state in which handle portion 300 swings downward and liquid discharge pipe 200 swings upward due to the action of gravity.

[0028] In the pour-over kettle of this embodiment, the liquid outlet pipe 200 and the handle portion 300 are respectively installed on opposite sides of the kettle body 100, and the kettle body 100 is installed such that the center of gravity of the kettle body 100 is located at the handle portion 300 when the kettle body 100 is tilted onto a supporting surface. Therefore, when the pour-over kettle of this embodiment is accidentally tilted onto a supporting surface such as a table or floor, as shown in Figures 7 and 8, the kettle body 100 is brought into a state in which the handle portion 300 swings downward and the liquid outlet pipe 200 swings upward due to the action of gravity. At this time, the liquid outlet 210 of the liquid outlet pipe 200 is in a high position, i.e., the horizontal height of the liquid outlet 210 is basically the same as that of the kettle body. Because the sealing cover 400 is higher than the horizontal height of the body 100, most of the liquid inside the accommodating cavity 110 cannot flow out from the liquid outlet 210, and because the upper opening 120 of the kettle body 100 is also blocked by the sealing cover 400, the liquid inside the accommodating cavity 110 cannot flow out from the upper opening 120 of the kettle body 100 either. This significantly reduces the amount of liquid that flows out when the pour-over kettle is accidentally knocked over onto a supporting surface, not only preventing a large amount of liquid from flowing out and being wasted inside the pour-over kettle, but also reduces the probability of the liquid penetrating into other power supply equipment and causing a short circuit or leakage, thereby improving the safety of using the pour-over kettle.

[0029] In the above embodiment, the kettle body 100 is a rotating body having a small upper portion and a large lower portion, but in other embodiments of the present invention, the kettle body 100 may be set to other shapes. For example, the kettle body 100 may be cylindrical, or the kettle body 100 may be rectangular, etc., and may be specifically determined according to actual needs, and the shape of the kettle body 100 is not limited to a rotating body having a small upper portion and a large lower portion.

[0030] 4, 5, 9 and 10, in order for the sealing cover 400 to better seal the opening 120 at the top of the kettle body 100, in some embodiments of the present invention, the upper part of the receiving cavity 110 has a sealing boss 111. The sealing boss 111 is arranged in the circumferential direction along the inner wall of the receiving cavity 110, and when the sealing cover 400 is removably attached to the opening 120, the sealing boss 111 sealingly abuts against the lower end surface and / or the outer wall of the sealing cover 400. Specifically, the upper part of the kettle body 100 is sealed by an annular hollow member 130 extending into the receiving cavity 110, the opening 120 is located at the upper part of the annular hollow member 130, and the sealing boss 111 is located at the middle and lower parts of the inner wall of the annular hollow member 130. When the sealing cover 400 is removably attached to the opening 120, the sealing cover 400 is fitted inside the annular hollow member 130, and the sealing boss portion 111 sealingly abuts against the lower end surface and / or the outer wall of the sealing cover 400. By adopting the above structure, not only can the production and processing of the kettle body 100 be facilitated, but the sealing cover 400 can also better seal the above opening 120 and meet the needs of users.

[0031] In order to prevent the seal cover 400 from being accidentally detached from the opening 120, in some embodiments of the present invention, one or more locking structures are installed between the seal cover 400 and the annular hollow member 130, and the locking structures include a locking groove 510 and a locking block 520 that can be fitted and locked to each other. When the locking groove 510 is installed on the outer wall of the seal cover 400, the locking block 520 is installed on the inner wall of the annular hollow member 130, or when the locking groove 510 is installed on the inner wall of the annular hollow member 130, the locking block 520 is installed on the outer wall of the seal cover 400. By adopting the above structure, when the sealing cover 400 is attached to the opening 120, the fitting and locking action of the locking block 520 and the locking groove 510 locks the sealing cover 400 and the annular hollow member 130, effectively preventing the sealing cover 400 from accidentally coming off the opening 120, and ensuring the sealing performance of the sealing cover 400 to the opening 120.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the locking structure is a locking structure in which the locking groove 510 and the locking block 520 are fitted together, but in other embodiments of the present invention, the locking structure may adopt other structures. For example, the locking structure includes a female thread and a male thread that can be fitted together and screw-connected, and when the female thread is drilled on the inner wall of the annular hollow member 130, the male thread is drilled on the outer wall of the sealing cover 400, and when the sealing cover 400 is attached to the opening 120 at the top of the kettle body 100, the sealing cover 400 is screwed into the inside of the annular hollow member 130 and is screw-connected to each other through the male thread and the female thread, and further locks the sealing cover 400 and the annular hollow member 130, which effectively prevents the sealing cover 400 from being accidentally removed from the opening 120 and ensures the sealing performance of the sealing cover 400.

[0033] 5, 6, 9 and 10, in some embodiments of the present invention, the locking groove 510 is opened on the inner wall of the annular hollow member 130, and the locking block 520 is installed on the outer wall of the sealing cover 400, the locking groove 510 includes a vertical inlet / outlet groove 511 and a horizontal locking groove 512, and the lower end of the vertical inlet / outlet groove 511 is connected to one end of the horizontal locking groove 512, specifically, the vertical inlet / outlet groove 511 and the horizontal locking groove 512 are connected to each other so that the locking groove 510 is approximately "L" shaped. When the sealing cover 400 is removably attached to the opening 120, the locking block 520 can slide from top to bottom to the lower end of the vertical entrance / exit groove 511, and when the user twists the sealing cover 400 and rotates it horizontally relative to the kettle body 100, the locking block 520 can move relative to the vertical entrance / exit groove 511 and be embedded in the horizontal locking groove 512. At this time, the locking block 520 is locked in the horizontal locking groove 512, thereby restricting the sealing cover 400 from moving upward relative to the kettle body 100 and escaping from the opening 120.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lower end of the sealing cover 400 is provided with a pressure-deformable sealing cushion 410, and the upper surface of the locking block 520 is an inclined surface, and the horizontal height of one end of the inclined surface close to the horizontal locking groove 512 is lower than the horizontal height of the other end of the inclined surface away from the horizontal locking groove 512. By adopting the above structure, the locking block 520 has a wedge block shape. When the sealing cover 400 is detachably attached to the opening 120, the locking block 520 first slides along the top-to-bottom direction to the lower end of the vertical inlet-outlet groove 511, and then when the user twists the sealing cover 400 to rotate it horizontally relative to the kettle body 100, the lower end of the upper inclined surface of the locking block 520 first abuts against the upper surface of the horizontal locking groove 512, and then when the user continues to twist and rotate the sealing cover 40 ... At this time, the upper surface of the horizontal locking groove 512 slides along the upper inclined surface of the locking block 520 from the end with a lower horizontal height to the end with a higher horizontal height, and in this process, the horizontal locking groove 512 and the locking block 520 cooperate to propel the sealing cover 400 to move downward, so that the sealing boss portion 111 can better press the sealing cushion 410 that is in close contact with the lower end of the sealing cover 400, and further improve the sealing effect of the sealing cover 400 to the sealing opening 120.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to balance the force received when the seal cover 400 is attached to the opening 120, in some embodiments of the present invention, the number of locking structures is two, and the two sets of locking structures are arranged in one-to-one correspondence on the inner walls of both opposing sides of the annular hollow member 130. That is, a locking groove 510 is provided on each of the inner walls of both opposing sides of the annular hollow member 130, and a locking block 520 is provided on each of the outer walls of both opposing sides of the seal cover 400, or a locking block 520 is provided on each of the inner walls of both opposing sides of the annular hollow member 130, and a locking groove 510 is provided on each of the outer walls of both opposing sides of the seal cover 400. When the seal cover 400 is attached to the opening 120, the two locking blocks 520 and the two locking grooves 510 are fitted and locked in one-to-one correspondence. By adopting the above structure, when the sealing cover 400 is attached to the opening 120, the two sets of locking structures can lock the sealing cover 400 to the opening 120 from both sides of the sealing cover 400, respectively, and can further balance the forces received by the sealing cover 400.

[0036] 1, 2 and 3, in order to provide the pour-over kettle with a heating function, in some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting cavity 140 is installed at the bottom of the kettle body 100, and the mounting cavity 140 and the receiving cavity 110 are isolated from each other, and a heating assembly 141 is installed inside the mounting cavity 140 and abuts against the outer bottom wall of the receiving cavity 110. In this embodiment, the inner bottom wall and the outer peripheral wall of the receiving cavity 110 are both made of metal, so that when the heating assembly 141 abuts against the outer bottom wall of the receiving cavity 110 is energized to generate heat, the heating assembly 141 can heat the bottom of the receiving cavity 110 and further heat the material loaded in the receiving cavity 110, so that the pour-over kettle of this embodiment can provide a heating function. In this embodiment, the heating assembly 141 is a resistance heating wire or a resistance heating plate that can generate heat when energized.

[0037] In order to easily monitor whether the liquid in the receiving cavity 110 has been heated to the set temperature, in some embodiments of the present invention, a steam pipe 150 is installed inside the receiving cavity 110, and the steam pipe 150 is a hollow pipe member. The steam pipe 150 includes an upper steam pipe 151 and a lower steam pipe 152 that communicate with each other, the upper steam pipe 151 has a steam inlet 1510, and the lower steam pipe 152 has a steam outlet that communicates with the mounting cavity 140. The lower steam pipe 152 extends to the mounting cavity 140, and a temperature sensor is installed inside the mounting cavity 140 to cooperate with the lower steam pipe 152 for detection, and a control board is installed in the mounting cavity 140, and the control board is electrically connected to the temperature sensor and heating assembly 141. Here, the steam inlet 1510 and the steam outlet are installed on both sides of the handle portion 300 in a one-to-one correspondence. In some embodiments of the present invention, the steam pipe 150 includes a horizontal connection portion 153, and the lower end of the upper steam pipe 151 is connected to one end of the horizontal connection portion 153 and the upper end of the lower steam pipe 152 is connected to the other end of the horizontal connection portion 153.

[0038] By adopting the above structure, the control board controls the heating assembly 141 to heat the liquid inside the receiving cavity 110. When the liquid is heated to a certain temperature and steam is generated, the steam can enter the inside of the upper steam pipe 151 through the steam inlet 1510 at the top of the upper steam pipe 151. Then the steam flows along the upper steam pipe 151 to the lower steam pipe 152, and finally flows from the steam outlet to the temperature sensor. When the temperature sensor detects the steam, it can detect that the liquid has been heated to the set temperature, and when the temperature sensor sends an electric signal to the control board, the control board controls the heating assembly 141 to cut off the power supply and stop heating, which is simple in structure and helps to reduce the production cost of the pour-over kettle. The steam inlet 1510 and the steam outlet are installed in one-to-one correspondence on both sides of the handle portion 300, so that when the pour-over kettle is accidentally tipped over onto a supporting surface such as a table or floor, no matter which way the kettle body 100 tilts, one of the steam inlet 1510 and the steam outlet is in a high position and the other is in a low position, so that the liquid inside the accommodating cavity 110 cannot flow from the steam pipe 150 into the mounting cavity 140, which helps to prevent the liquid inside the accommodating cavity 110 from leaking into the mounting cavity 140 through the steam pipe 150 and being discharged to the outside of the kettle body 100.

[0039] 1 to 3, in order to facilitate the user's installation and removal of the sealing cover 400, in some embodiments of the present invention, a grip 420 is provided on the upper part of the sealing cover 400. Therefore, the user can easily install and remove the sealing cover 400 by gripping the grip 420 and driving the sealing cover 400 to move up and down or rotate horizontally relative to the kettle body 100.
