Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention relates to a discharge passage of an air pot.

[Conventional technology]

In an air pot, by pressurizing the inside of the container, liquid (hot water) is discharged through a pumping pipe to a discharge port. For this purpose, a discharge hole connected to the upper end of the water pumping pipe is provided in the shoulder of the pot, and a discharge passage is provided between the discharge hole and the discharge outlet.

The discharge passage is equipped with a safety valve device to prevent hot water from flowing out when the pot falls over, and an air hole is provided in the strainer section between the safety valve device and the discharge port, so that suction can be carried out by attaching the mouth directly to the discharge port. Even if
A safety device will also be installed to prevent people from inhaling hot water.

The air holes also function to smooth the flow of hot water discharged from the discharge port and prevent it from splattering.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Air pots are tested for airtightness before being shipped from the factory. In this case, since the inspection is carried out by suctioning the internal air from the discharge port, the air hole of the safety device is closed with a suitable jig and the inspection is carried out. In this case, in the conventional air pot, the air hole was exposed when the cover of the shoulder body was removed, so there was no problem with the airtightness test.

However, when the structure of the air pot becomes complicated,
There is a problem in that it is difficult to provide the air hole at a position where it is exposed to the front surface. For example, if an air pump is attached to the front of the shoulder body in order to lower the overall height of the pot, the discharge passage will be provided from behind the air pump to below it due to its structure, so there is no room for the above air hole. There is no air hole, and even if it were provided, it would be located in a deep place, making it difficult to close the air hole with a jig during an airtight inspection.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by adding some innovation to the discharge passage.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention has a structure in which an air bleed chamber is interposed in the middle of the discharge passage, and the upper surface of the air bleed chamber is connected to an air bleed hole provided in a part of the shoulder body. It is.

An outlet 73 is formed on the bottom surface of the third chamber 63 facing the lower end of the connecting tube 72 . In addition, the lid 64 has an air hole 74.
is formed. Further, the upper end of the connecting tube 72 and the outlet 69 of the second chamber 62 are connected to the connecting tube 7.
Connected by 5.

The configuration of the safety valve device 38 is as described above.
Place the case 60 on the aforementioned ribs 32, 33, and 34, and slide it to the air port 6 of the first chamber 61.
7 is connected to the air hole 23 of the shoulder body 7, and the inlet 68 of the second chamber 62 is connected to the discharge hole 24 of the shoulder body 7 (the fourth

Further, the outlet 73 of the third chamber 63 and the outlet 2 of the bottom plate 44 are connected by the outlet tube 42 . Further, the air hole 74 of the third chamber 63 and the air vent hole 25 of the shoulder body 7 are connected by an air tube 76.

As can be seen from these connections, the first chamber 6
1 is interposed in the middle of an air passage including an air tube 40 from the air pump 1 to the inside of the container 4. Further, the second chamber 62 is interposed in the middle of a hot water supply passage provided between the water pumping pipe 26 and the third chamber 63, and a discharge passage including the discharge tube 42 is provided between the third chamber 63 and the discharge port 2. provided.

The safety valve device 38 has the above-mentioned configuration, and is assembled into the shoulder body 7 together with the bellows lower plate 28 and the bottom plate 44, and then the shoulder cover 43 is attached to the front surface of these to cover the recess 17 of the shoulder body 7.

As shown in FIG. 3, the shoulder cover 43 is surrounded by an arcuate side 45 along the aforementioned peripheral wall 27 and a curved side 46 along both side walls 18, and covers the upper surface of the shoulder body 7 as a whole. It has a curved cover surface 47 that covers a range from 13 to along the outer peripheral wall 11, and a cylindrical guide tube 48 that projects forward is formed on the curved cover surface 47. Guide tube 48
A guide rib 50 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of.

The above-mentioned shoulder cover 43 is engaged with the peripheral wall 27 at its arcuate side 45, and is engaged with the bottom plate 44 at the lower end of the guide tube 48.

The bellows air pump 1 is inserted into the guide tube 48 described above. The lower end of the air pump 1 is welded and fixed on the bellows lower plate 28, and the air pump 1
The push button 3 is in sliding contact with the guide rib 50.

The air pot in the embodiment has the above configuration, and as can be clearly seen in FIG. 2, the center line l of the air pump 1 is located somewhat forward of the body 8, and the amount of forward protrusion of the air pump 1 is as follows. When a downward pressing force is applied on this center line, the pot is set within a range in which the pot will not fall due to the center of gravity being shifted to one side. That is, the air pump 1 is not mounted so that its entirety protrudes forward from the body 8, but is partially inserted into the recess 17 provided in the shoulder body 7, and the amount of protrusion is reduced accordingly. ing.
In addition, in order to increase safety, the bottom body 9 may be provided with supporting legs 51 that protrude forward.

The discharge port 2 does not necessarily need to be located on the above-mentioned centerline 1, but is disposed near the centerline 1 in the front of the body 8, that is, directly below the air pump 1.

Now, when the push button 3 of the air pump 1 is pressed down, pressurized air is sent in the order of the air pump 1 → the air tube 40 → the first chamber 61 of the safety valve device 38 → the air hole 23 of the shoulder body 7 → the container 4,
The inside of the container 4 is pressurized (see route a in FIG. 4).
Furthermore, when the internal pressure of the container 4 increases, the hot water in the container 4 flows from the pumping pipe 26 to the discharge hole 24 to the safety valve device 3.
8 second chamber 62 → connection tube 75 → third chamber 63
The liquid is discharged in the order of →discharge tube 42 →discharge port 2 (see path b in FIG. 4).

Further, the airtightness test in the factory is performed by sucking the internal air from the discharge port 2 while the air vent hole 25 is closed with a suitable jig.

When too much water is put into the container 4 of the pot, water flowing back into the first chamber 61 from the air hole 23 is blocked by the water-shielding cylinder 65 formed at a sufficiently high height, and does not flow into the air pump 1.

Furthermore, if the pot falls over, the weight stopper 70 of the second chamber 62 closes the outlet 69, thereby preventing hot water from flowing out.

Furthermore, if an attempt is made to suck hot water by directly attaching the mouth to the discharge port 2, the hot water will not be sucked in because the air is sucked in through the air hole 74 of the third chamber 63.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, this invention provides an air bleed chamber (third chamber 63 in the embodiment) in the middle of the discharge passage,
The upper surface of the chamber is connected to the air vent hole provided in a part of the shoulder body, so it prevents hot water from being sucked out from the discharge port, and during airtightness inspections, the air vent hole in the shoulder body can be simply closed. This allows inspection to be carried out efficiently. In addition, even if the discharge pipe becomes clogged with limescale and the air vent chamber becomes full of hot water, the hot water will flow into the shoulder body through the air vent hole, so the hot water will leak out to the outside of the pot. This will be prevented.
