Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of small household appliances, and in particular to an anti-tip electric kettle. [Background technology]
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the increase of economic income, people can purchase many small home appliances to meet their needs, and electric kettles are one of the common ones.
[0003] An electric kettle is a small household appliance that uses electricity to boil water. Existing electric kettles generally include mechanical and electronically controlled electric kettles. Among them, mechanical electric kettles require steam to enter and be turned off normally, otherwise the power switch will not be turned off normally. Due to the normal air intake method, when the electric kettle is overturned, water will enter and exit along the steam pipe, which does not meet the test standard requirements for anti-overturn kettles. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an anti-tip electric kettle that can solve the above problems. The present invention provides the following technical solutions.
[0005] The tip-over-resistant electric kettle includes a kettle cover, a base, and a kettle body, with a kettle nozzle and a handle attached to each side of the kettle body, and the kettle nozzle and the kettle body communicating with each other, a kettle port provided on the top of the kettle body, a kettle cover attached to the kettle port, a base attached to the bottom of the kettle body, a steam pipe and a steam cap attached inside the kettle body, beads attached inside the steam cap, the sides of the steam cap sealed with side seals, a bead seal attached to the top of the steam cap, the steam pipe attached to the bottom of the steam cap, and a bottom seal attached between the steam pipe and the steam cap. The beads inside the steam cap fit into the bead seal, and in their normal state, the beads face vertically downward. When the kettle body is tilted, the beads roll inside the steam cap until they roll to the opening of the bead seal, thereby blocking water from entering the steam pipe and satisfying the requirements of the test standard for preventing water bottles from tipping.
[0006] In another technical solution of the present invention, both the beads and steam pipes are made of stainless steel, which is easy to obtain, has mature manufacturing technology, and has a long service life.
[0007] In a further technical solution of the present invention, the bead seal, bottom seal and side seal are all made of silica gel material.
[0008] In a further technical solution of the present invention, the base is provided with a protrusion and the bottom of the kettle body is provided with a groove, and the base is connected to the kettle body by inserting the protrusion into the groove, which makes alignment easy and provides excellent connection robustness.
[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a chute is provided inside the steam cap, and the beads can be rolled in the chute to easily reach the bead seal and prevent water from entering the steam pipe. [Effects of the Invention]
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This product uses steam caps, beads and other components to seal, and the natural rolling of the beads during the tipping process achieves the seal, thereby meeting the test standard requirements for tip-over-proof electric kettles. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is an exploded view of the tip-over-proof electric kettle of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a cross-sectional view of the tip-over-proof electric kettle of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] The present invention will be described below clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain without creative work fall within the scope of the invention protection.
[0013] A conventional tip-over-proof electric kettle (patent number CN204670913U) includes an electric kettle body, which in turn includes a kettle body, an electric heating element, a liner, and a lid unit. The lid unit is installed at the top of the kettle body, and a drain outlet is installed on the kettle body. The lid unit has a valve body, a clamp switch, and a water outlet passage connecting the liner and the drain outlet. The valve body is installed in the water outlet passage, and a valve rod is installed at the top of the valve body. Under normal conditions, the valve body closes the water outlet passage, allowing the kettle to be fully sealed and achieve heat retention, and water will not overflow after the kettle is tipped over. When water needs to be drained, a downward pressure shank switch can drive the valve core downward through the valve rod to open the water outlet passage. This is a very complicated structure and is not applicable to current kettle series.
[0014] This product is sealed using a specially designed steam cap, and during the tipping process, natural rolling sealing is achieved through the wave beads and wave bead seal, thereby meeting the requirements of the tipping prevention test standards.
[0015] Hereinafter, specific implementation examples of the present invention will be described in detail based on specific embodiments.
[0016] Example 1 1-2, a tip-over-proof electric kettle includes a kettle cover 1, a base 2, and a kettle body 3. A kettle nozzle 4 and a handle 5 are attached to both sides of the kettle body 3, and the kettle nozzle 4 and the kettle body 3 are connected. A kettle port is provided on the top of the kettle body 3. A kettle cover 1 is attached to the kettle port. A base 2 is attached to the bottom of the kettle body 3. A steam pipe 11 and a steam cap 8 are attached inside the kettle body 3. Beads 7 are attached inside the steam cap 8. The sides of the steam cap 8 are sealed with side seals 10. Bead seals 7 are attached to the top of the steam cap 8. A steam pipe 11 is attached to the bottom of the steam cap 8. A bottom seal 9 is attached between the steam pipe 11 and the steam cap 8. The beads 6 inside the steam cap 8 fit into the bead seal 7, and under normal conditions the beads 6 face vertically downward. When the kettle body 3 is tilted, the beads 6 roll inside the steam cap 8, and when the beads 6 roll to the mouth of the bead seal 7, they can block water from entering the steam pipe 11, thereby meeting the requirements of the test standard for not tilting the water bottle.
[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, both the beads 6 and the steam pipe 11 are made of stainless steel, which is easy to obtain, has mature manufacturing technology, and has a long service life.
[0018] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bead seal 7, the bottom seal 9 and the side seal 10 are all made of silica gel material.
[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, the base 2 is provided with a protrusion, and the bottom of the kettle body 3 is provided with a groove, and the base 2 is connected to the kettle body 3 by inserting the protrusion into the groove, which makes alignment easy and provides excellent connection robustness.
[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, a chute is provided inside the steam cap 8. The beads can be rolled inside the chute to conveniently reach the bead seal 7 and prevent water from entering the steam pipe.
[0021] In this invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "fixing," "installation," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may be welded connections, bolted connections, or integral connections. They may be mechanical connections, electrical connections, direct connections, or indirect connections via an intermediate medium. Unless otherwise limited, they may also refer to connections within two elements or the mutual interaction between two elements. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this invention depending on the context.
[0022] Furthermore, although the present specification will be described according to embodiments, each embodiment does not include only one independent technical solution, and such description form of the specification is merely for clarity, and those skilled in the art should understand that the specification must be considered as a whole, and that the technical solutions of each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
