The wall of container 201 comprises the transparent material with the reflectance coating that places the wall surface.About Fig. 3, it illustrates the path of cross section and the wall reflection and the transmitted ray of container wall.
The transparent wall 301 of container 201 comprises the transparent material with anti-thermal shock damage performance.Found the borosilicate glass composition, as
Figure A20068003053500111
Or
Figure A20068003053500112
Especially suitable.Borosilicate glass has 81%SiO usually 2, 13%B 2O 3, 4%Na 2O+K 2O and 2%Al 2O 3Composition.
Need transparency so that wall 301 transmission container 202 interior light from light source 209.Needing anti-thermal shock damage performance is because container 201 need hold the water of boiling.If container 201 charges into cold water again after just adorning boiling water, cooling velocity will form high thermal stress in the material with high thermal coefficient of expansion.
If when having in enough transmissive containers 201, equally also can use other material from the transparency of the light of light source 209 and enough anti-thermal shock damage performance, as different glass compositions, some glass ceramics and some plastics.
Transparent wall 301 has outer surface 302 and inner surface 303.The outer surface 302 of this transparent wall 301 comprises reflectance coating 304.This coating 304 be set to can by with mirror on the identical method reflection incident ray of coating.Different with the coating on the mirror, on the reflectance coating on the wall 301 304, use rare layer, known with half-silvered surface.This half-silvered surface be set to reflection approximately half penetrate in its surface incident ray and second half incident ray of transmission.
Significantly, if reflectance coating is applied on the inner surface 303 of wall 301 rather than on the outer surface 302 of wall 301 time, reflectance coating 304 runnings are same good.
Any suitable material all can be used for the reflectance coating 304 of wall 301.Suitable material should have the reflectivity of high visible rays, and can place on wall 301 surfaces, and has enough anti scuffing performances.
Comprise metals like gold, silver, aluminium, copper and titanium for coating 304 suitable materials.Preferable alloy is because it trends towards having the reflectivity of high visible rays.Use titanium in this application.By using the anti scuffing test to find that titanium reflectance coating 304 has enough anti scuffing performances bearing the common use of kettle, and from the outer surface 302 of wall 301, do not wipe off easily.Any scratch all can demonstrate low reflectivity and high light transmission on wall.
If other material has the reflectivity of suitable visible rays,, also can use this material even it does not have the anti scuffing performance identical with titanium.In this case, can use transparent protective coating to protect this material.
The combination of wall 301 and face coat 304 forms two-way mirror, and it is set to fully reflecting part incident ray and the fully incident ray of transmission remainder.Depend on the relative brightness on two-way mirror two sides, this makes two-way mirror both can be used as the mirror running and also can be used as the window running.
When ambient light 305 that the light source 306 of container 201 outsides sends arrived reflectance coating 304 on the outer surface 302 of transparent wall 301, the ambient light 305 of a part of incident was used as reflected ambient line 307 and reflects back.The ambient light 305 of remainder as transmitted ray 308 by transparent wall 301 transmissive.
When the light 309 that sends when the light source 209 of container 201 inside reaches the inner surface 303 of wall, its by wall 301 by fully transmissions.Wall 301 is crossed in these refracted ray 310 transmissions, and sub-fraction is from the light 309 of light source 209 container 201 that is reflected 311 times.When refracted ray 310 left wall 301, it was reflected once more and is left as transmitted ray 312.
When container 201 inside did not have light source 209 in light source or the container 201 not luminous, the intensity of reflected ambient line 307 was much larger than the intensity of the transmitted ray 312 that comes out from container 201 inside.Therefore container 201 is mirror and has and the chromium similar in appearance.Because the intensity of reflection ray 308 makes the user can't see through transparent wall 301 and observes, so container wall 301 and not obviously comprise abundant transparent material for the user.This has hidden the container 201 inner lime fouling or the spots that generate of any kettle 200.
When transmitted ray 312 was formed by the light source in the container 201 209, the intensity of transmitted ray 312 was much larger than the intensity of reflected ambient line 307.Because the difference between transmitted ray 312 and the reflected ambient line 307, wall 301 presents transparence to the user, and the user can see that the inside of container 201 is to determine whether kettle turns round.In addition, light source 209 provides the illumination of environment equally.
The kettle 200 that shows among Fig. 2 has luminous light source 209, because the intensity of transmitted ray 312 much larger than the intensity of reflected ambient line 307, therefore makes container 201 be transparence.Whether this makes the user see content, the especially water 210 in the container 201 and seethes with excitement.
About Fig. 4, it illustrates the side view according to the kettle with non-luminous light source of first specific embodiments.Because light source 209 is not luminous, so the intensity of reflected ambient line 307 is much larger than the intensity of transmitted ray.Therefore the surface of container 201 is mirror, and therefore has and the chromium similar in appearance.The wall 301 of container 301 is observed and the content of container 201 inside is what hide to the user because the user can't see through, so container 201 is opaque shape and reflective shape.
The switch 207 of kettle 200 is set to and makes electric current through heating element heater 205 and light source 209.By this method, when user's activator switch, heating element heater and light source obtain electric current.When switch is activated, the outward appearance of container 201 from as shown in Figure 4 mirror, opaque outward appearance becomes transparent outward appearance as shown in Figure 2.Therefore for the user, clearly, kettle is opened.
Kettle is equipped with the automatic shutdown circuit that can cut out the electric current of heating element heater 205 and light source 209 when the water in the container 201 210 reaches assigned temperature (being generally 100 ℃).When cutting off the automatic close current of circuit, switch 207 recovers its "off" state, and the outward appearance of container 201 is from becoming opaque, the mirrored appearance as showing among Fig. 4 as the transparent appearance that shows Fig. 2.
In the specific embodiments of selecting, can in the kitchen utensils of other type, use this technology.For example, the electronic bread baker of two-way mirror wall and light source is housed, this light source is set to can be luminous when the heating element heater in the bread baker is activated.When kitchen utensils were bread baker, the container of bread baker was the chamber of baked food therein.
When kitchen utensils were dark fat fryer, the container of dark fat fryer was the container that can hold deep fat.
When kitchen utensils were baking box or micro-wave oven, the container of baking box was to place the chamber that food is cooked or heated therein.Especially, the chamber of baking box comprises door, and this door comprises two-way mirror.Light source places the chamber fully.When not using baking box, door has the mirrored appearance similar to the mirrored appearance of chromium.When using baking box, light source luminescent, and the door of baking box presents transparence to the user, makes the user can see baking box inside.
When kitchen utensils were food processor or mixer, the container of kitchen utensils was at the container that can wherein place food and handle.
For above-mentioned all embodiment, when kitchen utensils not in user mode following time, container presents reflective opaque outward appearance.When container in user mode following time, therefore the light that the wall transmission of light source luminescent and container produces from light source make the user see internal tank.
In first specific embodiments, light source is cold cathode tube.This light source is compressed in the polycarbonate compound covering.Reflectance coating comprises titanium compound.
About Fig. 5, it illustrates the specific embodiments of the electric kettle with the light source of closing when observing from the position of external container, and wherein the container of kettle be fully fully reflective, and internal tank is what can not have an X-rayed when the position of external container is observed.
About Fig. 6, it illustrates the view of the electric kettle of the light source with unlatching, and wherein the light source luminescent of kettle inside makes and observes from the external position of kettle, can see the inside of kettle by wall.
The electricity kettle comprises the light source of the internal tank that is used to throw light on and is used to adorn the transparent and/or translucent container of water 210.This container comprises the reflective wall of part makes that the light source in the container is closed under "off" state, because the container wall is abundant reflective when the container external position is observed, so when observing from the position of described external container, internal tank is fully covered by the wall of container, yet inside when unlatching of the light source in the container under "open" state and light illumination container, light from light source can make when from the container visual observation that internal tank is bright and can see internal tank by the reflective container wall with the transmission of part light of part from the container internal transmission.
When in "off" state following time, light source is closed, because internal tank not have enough strong light seeing internal tank, so be abundant complete reflective from container visual observation container.Or rather, the environment daylight of external container is reflected and has sheltered the inside of container by the container wall.Yet, when in "open" state following time, even since the ability of light source of illumination internal tank enough force to be reflexed to daytime of observer by the container wall at daylight, also can see the inside of container, so be and fully can have an X-rayed by observe container in the position of external container.
