The restriction system that overflows for container
For electric liquid heaters tool, if utensil surprisingly tilts or goes over, have the danger that hot liquid overflows.Because liquid in or approach boiling, so this, overflow and can make user or onlooker's rats after severe scald burn.
Proposed in the prior art much in order to reduce or to limit this suggestion of overflowing.These schemes have a kind of in following three types substantially, and each type depends on user and activates and/or movable part:
I) manual type, wherein, for example, only at valve during by manual release, just can pouring liquids: for example, and Figure 13 a to 13f of WO-A-2011/101642, wherein said valve is combined with the operated actuator of user.
Ii) automatic type, in the scheme of automatic type, only at utensil during in particular orientation, the one or more parts that adopt the orientation along with utensil to move, for example, gravity, could pouring liquids.For example, Figure 15 a to 21b of WO-A-2011/101642 illustrates the gravity deflection pressure type valve of pendulum form, and it is pivotably mounted on vertical axis and by pendulum supports support.Pendulum is subject to the effect of corresponding spring from contrary side, with centering pendulum when utensil uprightly or is forward toppled over towards Hu Zui.The active force of spring is enough to overcome any friction between pendulum and pendulum support member, makes pendulum in balance.When utensil is toppled over when pouring out towards Hu Zui, the central recess in pendulum allows liquid to enter cover chamber and pass subsequently hole through hole and enters Hu Zui.
Iii) inertial type, wherein said valve is sensitive to and impacts and/or slow down fast.For example, Figure 14 a to 14d of WO-A-2011/101642 illustrates valve seat, and it has towards the inside protuberance of the spout side location of lid lower wall, and this dumps forward and prevent conical valve upward sliding and the described hole of sealing when pouring out at utensil.Yet if utensil dumps forward suddenly, described valve will be skipped protuberance and be sealed on lid on sealing surface.If utensil side direction or topple over backward, valve member not the portion of being highlighted engage, but will be sealed on lid on sealing surface, thereby seal described hole.
Frequently, this setting that makes utensil safety also may limit the simple and easy use of utensil.
Prior art great majority have related to domestic water boiling apparatus, hereinafter referred to as Safety kettle.
A particular problem in kettle is that (for example, utensil overturning) all need to provide pressure relief device and/or discharger on utensil under normal use (filling and pouring out and the process in heating and cooling cycle in) and abnormality.Substantially the Hu Zui of kettle use acts on main earth pressure release and the discharger of steam, and expands and shrink in order to hold.At kettle mouth, sealed or part sealing, for example for prevent from overflowing in the situation that, arranges independent main discharger conventionally.
Another discharge requirement for Safety kettle is the isostasy needing between reservoir and atmosphere, and for example water can freely be poured out from reservoir.
For example, kettle for the temperature controller (steam switching device shifter) in conjunction with installing away from described reservoir, steam pipe can be communicated with between reservoir and steam switching device shifter, and this steam pipe can provide auxiliary discharger and/or pressure equalization means for described utensil.
In Safety kettle, main discharge or secondary discharger can limit by overflowing limiting part, and alternatively or additionally, excessive water pressure can cause main or secondary discharger to spray the water of heating.
The in the situation that of wireless kettle, after kettle goes over, the temperature difference between heating element heater and water can cause boiling continuously in the short time, even if make after power-off, pressure also can continue to increase to some degree.
For example, JP-A-2008212315 discloses a kind of hand Safety kettle having for the independent discharge outlet of steam.On to Japanese market, in commercially available Safety kettle and the disclosed test based on this patent application, after kettle tilts, boiling water is ejected into kettle sidepiece strong from discharging outlet.
In addition, steam pressure can make hot water enter into handle and/or subbase portion by steam pipe, thereby exists user surprisingly to contact the surface of heating and/or the risk of liquid when user attempts propping up utensil after utensil tilts.Further, also exist too much water contact to be contained in the risk of the electric elements in handle and/or subbase portion.
Yet as shown in the example of GB-A-2272629, if heating container is completely airtight by interlock, having steam pressure can increase until the danger of container explosion at described internal tank.
By another problem of the equipment such as Safety kettle that are described, be to need to allow to be easy to fill and/or pour out.
The applicant's the open WO-A-2011/101642 of patent discloses a plurality of devices in order to overcome above problem, the plurality of device comprises the commercially available system based on mobile swing device, its allow user in the situation that not needing user to activate from Safety kettle pouring allow to provide and overflow the main and/or auxiliary discharge device of restriction.
Yet, still there is the demand of the movable part of further minimized Safety kettle, this Safety kettle can be filled and/or be distributed from Hu Zui by Hu Zui, and is provided with main and/or auxiliary discharge device.
Also exist by reducing or eliminating the demand of saving energy of overflowing of hot water, to do not waste hot water.

Figure 13 yvc is the exploded isometric view of Figure 13 yvac, the assembling of diagram house steward 635vi.
Described chamber 621 can be formed on second portion 679, for holding ball 617.Described chamber 621 for the holding device 623(of ball 617 for example can be provided with, magnet 623a), make during normal use, ball 617 is arranged in the rear section of described chamber 621.Chamber cap 624 can be set to seal described chamber 621, thereby prevent that ball 617 from falling in reservoir 5.Described chamber cap 624 can welding, weld or be bonded to described chamber 621.Alternatively, described chamber cap 624 can be removably fixed to described chamber 621, and for example, snap fit or be threaded, to allow to approach the inside of ball 617 and/or described chamber 621, for cleaning.
Preferably, but be not restrictive, described valve arrangement 671 does not limit fills and/or pours out, and holding device 623 prevents that described member 617 from rocking or rolling normal use, makes user can not recognize the abnormal motion in utensil 1.
Described locular wall 621a and/or chamber cap 624 can comprise that it below will be described in more detail for receiving the recess 109 of holding device 623.Recess 109 can be sealed by lid 624a.Lid 624a can welding, weld or bond in recess 109, to prevent that liquid from immersing or corroding holding device 623.Alternatively, holding device 623 can be packed or be molded in described chamber cap 624 and/or in the wall 621a of described chamber 621.
Described chamber 621 can also comprise the wider portion towards the place ahead, and its size that 678 combinations of Huo Yu first can increase passage 682a independently, to form housing 672, moves at housing 672 when utensil 1 is positioned on side for ball 617.
Typically, ball 617 can be metal, for example, and ball bearing, or can be plastics, glass or pottery.Ball 617 can coating, for example, and as found in operated computer mouse of ball etc.Advantageously, ball 617 can be made by the resistant material such as stainless steel, and/or scribble inviscid and/or corrosion-resistant finishes (PTFE for example, ), pottery or enamel.Inviscid coating and/or corrosion-resistant finishes can be by preventing or reducing incrustation scale in the lip-deep benefit that provides additional of gathering of ball 617, and incrustation scale may cause that lip-deep the gathering of ball 617 ball 617 is stuck in described chamber 621.In other embodiments, ball 617 can be electroplated (for example nickel plating) so that similar inviscid characteristic to be provided.
At holding device 623, be in the situation of magnet 623a, at least a portion of ball 617 and/or coating need to be iron-bearing materials.
As shown in Figure 13 yvd, during assigning process, ball 617 by holding device 623(for example, magnet 623a) towards the rear portion of described chamber 621, be held in place, allow liquid to flow out reservoirs 5 via kettle mouth 7 and hole 698.Can expect, during assigning process, ball 617 departs from holding device 623 by the enough active forces and/or the power that do not have under gravity.
Needed confining force will depend on the weight of ball 617 and the assigned operation parameter of utensil 1, and need to during pouring out process, be enough to ball 617 to remain on arbitrarily angled place.
Yet, as previously mentioned, when there is deceleration fast and/or the impact while, utensil 1 dumped forward, for example, if utensil 1 is fallen and colliding surface, additional forces can discharge ball 617 from holding device 623, allows ball 617 to move forward to be sealed on hole 698, and therefore prevent that liquid from flowing out reservoir 5, as shown in Figure 13 yve.Therefore, assembly 671 is as inertial type valve, and it is sensitive to and impacts and/or slow down fast.When utensil 1 is upright, ball 617 auto-returneds (by means of gravity) are to its initial position, and by holding device 623, are kept or locked subsequently, for other configuration.
Can expect, hole 698 can comprise the feature (as seat or sealing surface) for keeping and/or improve seal interface, and this can comprise additional sealing surfaces, for example, and silicones.
Angle [alpha] between described chamber 621 and the horizontal plane of utensil 1 is important.When too shallow, ball 617 may not turn back to its initial position under gravity; When too dark, ball 617 may can not easily move forward when impacting and/or slow down.The inventor scope between definite 10 ° and 45 ° can be acceptable, yet preferred scope is in the scope of 20 ° to 30 °.
Also have been found that in some cases, ball 617 may rebound and get back on described chamber 621 after impacting, and therefore, need to arrange to prevent that ball 617 is being locked between debounce periods on holding device 623.Exist a large amount of modes to eliminate this problem, it comprises:
1) increase partly the cross section of a part for described chamber 621, make ball 617 in this part of described chamber 621, suitably to be aimed at therefrom to pass through.In this case, ball 617 can roll under gravity by described chamber 621, but may not be easily by the cross section reducing between debounce periods.
2) can add flank (not shown) so that zigzag path to be provided, ball 617 can be rolled under gravity, but can prevent that ball 617 from returning between debounce periods.
3) select to there is the material of low restorer number, to can absorb the impulsive force between ball 617 and hole 698.Yet for example, when the sealing of low coefficient material infringement ball 617 and/or smooth operation, this may be reactive.
4) increase the length of described chamber 621, ball 617 can not be rebounded to and be high enough to be locked on holding device 623.
5) optimize holding device 623, for example, with the attraction of balanceable magnet 632a, make is enough to keep ball 617 after engaging, but minimizes attraction before engaging.
6) at kettle mouth 7 places, increase additional holding device, for example, additional magnet may provide the hand-reset of certain form in this case before refilling.
7) ball 617 can be replaced with the described member that slows down when rebounding by slender member.
During test job, determined its diameter that can at least rebound of the steel ball 617 with 22mm diameter in corresponding 23.5mm internal diameter chamber 621 after impact.In this case, recommendation be that the inner length size BA of described chamber 621 is at least twices of the diameter of ball 617, and at least 2.5 times of the diameter that preferably described chamber 621 is balls 617.
The schematic elevational view that Figure 13 yvf diagram is impacted the cross section X-X of the utensil 1 that passes afterwards Figure 13 yvac, wherein ball 617 discharges and conjugate foramens 698 from holding device 623, to prevent that liquid from flowing out reservoir 5.
