Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric kettles, and particularly to an anti-tip electric kettle.

Background Art

[0002] Electric kettles are widely popular as convenient small household appliances for easily boiling water at home, in offices, etc. However, conventional electric kettles have important drawbacks. That is, their installation is unstable, and they are likely to tip over easily when an external force is applied. If hot water spills due to tipping, dangers such as burns and damage to furniture and the floor surface may occur. Although there are some anti-tip devices in the market that adopt methods to expand the support area at the bottom or complex mechanical locking mechanisms, many of them have the following problems. (1) Using a mechanical locking mechanism increases the number of moving parts, raising the manufacturing cost and also increasing the failure rate. (2) Many designs are effective only when the inclination is small, and when tilted greatly, they cannot completely prevent hot water leakage. (3) Due to their complex structure and many operation procedures, they lack portability and usability. For example, a design that widens the bottom area to enhance stability takes up a lot of installation space, and the effect of preventing tipping due to impact is limited. There are also products that adopt a spring-type balance structure, but the spring may deteriorate over long-term use and lose its original function. In addition, conventional anti-tip technologies do not fully consider the optimization of the center of gravity of the main body, and often lack stability.

Summary of the Invention

[0003] An object of this utility model is to provide an anti-tip mechanism with a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and high reliability. Based on physical principles, this mechanism prevents hot water leakage by automatically adjusting the center of gravity when the main body tips over.

[0004] The present utility model adopts the following technical means. The anti-tip electric kettle according to the present utility model includes a kettle body, a lid is provided at the upper end of the kettle body, and handles are rotatably attached to both sides. A spout is communicatively provided on one side of the kettle body, and a kettle bottom lid is provided at the bottom, and a weight for anti-tipping is mounted inside the kettle bottom lid. Preferably, an annular conductive plug electrically connected to a power base is provided on the lower surface of the kettle bottom lid, and an electric heating element connected to the annular conductive plug is provided inside the kettle bottom lid. Preferably, two mounting struts are provided inside the kettle bottom lid, the weight is mounted on the mounting struts, and is arranged at one end far from the spout.

[0005] The present utility model has the following beneficial effects. By arranging a weight at one end away from the spout, the present utility model optimizes the center of gravity distribution. When the electric kettle is tilted or tipped over by an external force, the center of gravity is moved backward by a physical action, and the spout is always kept upward. This structure can effectively block the outflow of hot water, and significantly reduce the risk of burns caused by tipping and damage to the surrounding environment.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0007] In this specification, terms indicating positional relationships such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "front side", "rear side", "upper part", "bottom part", etc. are defined based on the structure of the device and are relative concepts. Therefore, they can change according to the position and usage state of the device, and these terms should not be interpreted restrictively. Also, in this specification, the singular forms "one", "the", and "said" should be interpreted as including the plural form unless the context clearly indicates a different meaning. Furthermore, the term "and / or" means including any one or all combinations of the described items. To more clearly clarify the technical problems, technical means, and beneficial effects of this utility model, the following will be described in detail based on the drawings and embodiments. Note that the embodiments described in this specification are for explaining this utility model and are not limited thereto.

[0008] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the anti-tip electric kettle according to this utility model includes a kettle body 2. A lid 3 is provided at the upper end of the kettle body 2, and handles 4 are rotatably attached to both sides. A spout 5 is communicatively provided on one side of the kettle body 2, and a kettle bottom lid 6 is provided at the bottom. A weight 1 for anti-tipping is mounted inside the kettle bottom lid 6. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an annular conductive plug 601 electrically connected to a power base is provided on the lower surface of the kettle bottom lid 6, and an electric heating element 602 connected to the annular conductive plug 601 is provided inside the kettle bottom lid 6. With this configuration, the connection to the power base is more stable, and the stability of power supply can be maintained even when there are inclinations or slight shakes, preventing heating interruption due to poor contact. As shown in Fig. 2, two mounting struts are provided inside the kettle bottom cover 6, and the weight 1 is mounted on the mounting struts and is arranged at one end far from the spout 5. When the electric kettle is tilted or overturned by an external force, the gravity of the weight 1 causes the center of gravity of the entire kettle bottom cover 6 and the kettle body 2 to move backward. At this time, since the weight 1 is at one end far from the spout 5, the spout 5 is always kept upward during the overturning, and the outflow path of the hot water is effectively blocked, so that burns and damage to surrounding articles can be prevented.

[0009] Operating principle: In the normal use state of the electric kettle according to this utility model, the main body is kept vertical, and the weight 1 is stably mounted on the mounting struts inside the kettle bottom cover 6 without affecting the use of the main body. However, when tilting or overturning occurs due to an external force, the gravity of the weight 1 immediately acts, and since it is at a position far from the spout 5, the center of gravity of the main body quickly moves backward. Due to this physical change, the spout 5 is kept upward during the overturning, and the outflow of water is blocked, so that even if the main body tilts to a certain angle, the hot water will not leak out. Thereby, the risk of burns caused by overturning and damage caused by liquid leakage can be significantly reduced.

[0010] As described above, this utility model provides an anti-overturning electric kettle with a simple structure, low cost and high reliability, effectively solving the problem that the conventional electric kettle is prone to overturn during use, and improving the safety and stability of the product.

[0011] The above embodiments of this utility model are for explaining technical means and do not limit the scope of this utility model. Based on the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various changes and equivalent substitutions of some technical features to the described technical content. These changes and substitutions do not deviate from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
