The present invention relates to a teapot structure, in particular to a teapot that can prevent the teapot lid from falling off.
During the pouring process, the teapot needs to be tilted in the pouring direction so that the tea in the teapot can flow out, so the teapot body and the teapot lid have a certain tilt angle. Therefore, during the process of pouring tea, the teapot lid needs to be pressed down by external force to prevent the teapot lid from being separated from the teapot body during the process of pouring tea. However, users often forget to press down the teapot lid, causing the lid to fall off and break, and the tea to overflow from the mouth of the teapot and splash everywhere. Also, if the tea brewed in the teapot is at a high temperature, pressing down the lid of the teapot while pouring the tea can easily cause burns.
There are some existing products for preventing the lid of a teapot from falling off. Generally, buckles and slots are provided on the lid of the teapot and the mouth of the teapot. When operating, the user needs to fix the lid of the teapot by rotating the buckle with the hand force to achieve the problem of closing the lid of the teapot and the mouth of the teapot.
Some known teapots have handles that can be movably placed on both sides for storage. When pouring tea, the user holds the handle to pour tea, and the connection between the handle and the teapot is loose, causing the handle to shake left and right, resulting in the user holding the handle to pour tea and shaking left and right unsteadily.
The invention is to overcome or at least solve the problems existing in the prior art. The invention provides a teapot with a lid that can prevent the lid from falling off, the tea from spilling, and the person from getting burned during the process of pouring tea.
The invention also provides a teapot with a teapot lid that can prevent the lid from falling off. The lid can be automatically rotated and slid into the mouth of the teapot by gravity to close the lid.
The teapot capable of preventing the lid from falling off of the present invention comprises a teapot body and a teapot lid. The teapot body comprises a teapot mouth, a teapot spout, a teapot inner wall and a first sliding protrusion. The first sliding protrusion protrudes from one side of the teapot inner wall. The teapot lid comprises a teapot lid top and a teapot lid wall. The teapot lid wall comprises a bottom edge and a first chute. The teapot lid wall extends downward from one side of the teapot lid top to a height such that a free end of the teapot lid wall forms the bottom edge. The bottom edge is obliquely opened toward the teapot lid wall to form the first chute. The first chute forms a first opening at a free end on one side of the bottom edge. The first chute forms a first bottom edge on an opposite side relative to the first opening. The first chute is movably rotated and slid onto the first sliding protrusion by utilizing the first opening, and the first sliding protrusion is movably clamped on the first bottom edge, so that the teapot lid is detachably covered on the teapot mouth of the teapot body.
Compared with the prior art, the teapot of the present invention can prevent the teapot lid from falling off, prevent the tea from spilling, and prevent burns during the process of pouring tea.
According to some embodiments of the teapot capable of preventing the teapot lid from falling off, the number of the sliding protrusions can be 2 or more, and the number of the chutes is correspondingly two or more. The combination of a plurality of sliding protrusions and a plurality of correspondingly adapted chutes can provide the teapot lid and the teapot mouth with a better fixing effect in multiple directions.
The teapot body further comprises a second sliding protrusion protruding from the other side of the teapot inner wall. The teapot lid further comprises a second chute, and the other side of the bottom edge is obliquely opened toward the teapot lid wall to form the second chute. The second chute forms a second opening at the free end on the bottom edge side. A second bottom edge is formed on the other side of the second chute opposite to the second opening. The second chute is performed synchronously with the first chute. The second opening of the second chute can be movably rotated and slid onto the second sliding protrusion, and the second sliding protrusion can be movably clamped on the second bottom edge. At the same time, the first chute can be movably clamped on the first sliding protrusion synchronously. The teapot lid can be fixed in the teapot mouth in multiple directions, and the teapot lid can be more stably fixed in the teapot mouth during the process of pouring tea.
In some embodiments of the teapot capable of preventing the teapot lid from falling off of the present invention, the teapot lid can be automatically rotated and slid into the teapot mouth by gravity to be closed. In some embodiments of the teapot capable of preventing the teapot lid from falling off of the present invention, the teapot is made of various materials such as ceramic, metal, acrylic or glass. The teapot lid itself has a certain weight. When the user places the first opening above the first sliding protrusion, or/and the second opening above the second sliding protrusion, the lower side of the teapot lid is not supported. When the user slightly loosens his fingers, the teapot lid uses its own gravity to cause the second chute to move synchronously with the first chute. The first chute and the second chute use the weight of the teapot lid to flexibly rotate and slide onto the first sliding protrusion from the first opening, respectively, so that the first sliding protrusion can be movably clamped on the first bottom edge, and at the same time the second opening can be movably rotated and slid onto the second sliding protrusion by itself, and the second sliding protrusion can be movably clamped on the second bottom edge.
The teapot lid can be rotated and slid into the teapot mouth by gravity and can be detachably covered on the teapot mouth of the teapot body. Compared with the conventional teapot, the teapot can prevent the teapot lid from falling off and the teapot lid can be smoothly combined with the teapot mouth.
The invention also provides a teapot, wherein the handle can stably fix the teapot body when pouring tea, and the teapot body will not shake left and right, thereby overcoming the problem of the user holding the teapot handle shaking left and right when pouring tea.
In some embodiments of the teapot of the present invention, the teapot body comprises two connection portions and a handle. Each connection portion comprises an arc-shaped hole formed therein at a lower side and a polygonal hole formed therein at an upper side in communication with the arc-shaped hole. The handle comprises two polygonal structures respectively formed at two opposite free ends thereof. The volume of each polygonal structure is smaller than the internal space of the arc-shaped hole, and the volume of the polygonal structure is smaller than the internal space of the polygonal hole. Each polygonal structure is movably assembled in the arc-shaped hole of one respective connection portion, so that the polygonal structure is detachably locked in the respective polygonal hole.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages: the handle of the teapot can be flexibly placed on either one of both sides for storage, and the two free ends of the handle of the teapot each have a polygonal structure. When pouring tea, the user holds the handle to lift the teapot, and the polygonal structures on both sides of the handle can be detachably clamped in the polygonal holes on both sides of the teapot body. The handle will not loosen and shake left and right. The user can hold the handle to steadily lift the teapot and pour tea, thus overcoming the problem of the teapot handle shaking left and right when pouring tea.

According to some embodiments of the teapot of the present invention, the direction in which the first sliding protrusion 14 protrudes from the teapot inner wall 13 and the direction in which the teapot spout 12 protrudes from the teapot body 1 are parallel or the same, or/and the central axis of the first sliding protrusion 14 is parallel or identical to the direction of the water outlet line of the teapot spout 12. The tilt direction of the first chute 333 is a tilt angle relative to the axis of the first sliding protrusion 14. When the teapot lid 3 is tilted to pour water, the first chute 333 can be locked by the first sliding protrusion 14 to be fixed.
Thereby, when the user is pouring tea from the teapot, the first chute 333 can be detachably locked on the first sliding protrusion 14 to prevent the teapot lid 3 from being displaced relative to the teapot mouth 10. When the teapot is used, the teapot lid 3 will not fall off and the tea will not spill due to pouring tea or slight collision, thereby scalding the user. On the contrary, when the tea pouring process is finished, the user can gently turn the teapot lid 3 by hand, and at the same time drive the first chute 333 to leave the first sliding protrusion 14, and the teapot lid 3 can leave the teapot mouth 10.
The teapot lid of the invention is prevented from falling off by uncovering the teapot lid 3 and driving the first opening 335 of the first chute 333 to rotate and slide onto the first sliding protrusion 14 and engage in the teapot mouth 10. The handheld teapot lid 3 only needs to be rotated slightly according to the usual operation mode, without adding other operations, which is convenient and quick. The teapot lid 3 is fixed in the teapot mouth 10, and the effect is stable and reliable. Compared with the prior art, the teapot of the invention can prevent the teapot lid 3 from falling off, the tea from spilling, and prevent burns during the process of pouring tea.

The teapot capable of preventing the teapot lid from falling off is made of various materials such as ceramic, metal, acrylic or glass. In the embodiment diagram, the teapot is made of metal. The teapot lid 3 itself has a certain weight. When the user places the first opening 335 above the first sliding protrusion 14, or/and the second opening 334 above the second sliding protrusion 17, the lower side of the teapot lid 3 is not supported. When the user slightly loosens his fingers, the teapot lid 3 uses its own weight to cause the second chute 332 to move synchronously with the first chute 333. The first chute 333 and the second chute 332 use the weight of the teapot lid 3 to flexibly rotate and slide onto the first sliding protrusion 14 from the first opening 335. The first sliding protrusion 14 is flexibly locked at the first bottom edge 337 and at the same time, the second opening 334 can be movably rotated and slid onto the second sliding protrusion 17, and the second sliding protrusion 17 can be movably clamped on the second bottom edge 336, so that the teapot lid 3 can be automatically rotated and slid into the teapot mouth 10 by gravity to be closed, thereby increasing the smoothness of the teapot lid 3 combined with the teapot mouth 10 when using the teapot.
In some embodiments of the teapot capable of preventing the teapot lid from falling off, the direction in which the first sliding protrusion 14 protrudes from the teapot inner wall 13 and the direction in which the teapot spout 12 protrudes from the teapot body are parallel or the same, or the central axis of the first sliding protrusion 14 is parallel to or the same as the water outlet axis of the teapot spout 12, and the inclination direction of the first chute 333 is formed by an inclination angle relative to the tangent line of the intersection of the central axis of the first sliding protrusion 14. The direction in which the second sliding protrusion 17 protrudes from the teapot inner wall 13 and the direction in which the teapot spout 12 protrudes from the teapot body are parallel or the same, or/and the central axis of the second sliding protrusion 17 is parallel or identical to the direction in which the teapot spout 12 exits the water. The inclination direction of the second chute 332 is formed by an inclination angle with respect to the tangent line of the intersection of the central axis of the second sliding protrusion 17.
When the teapot lid 3 is tilted to pour water, the first chute 333 can be fixed by the first sliding protrusion 14, and the second chute 332 can be fixed by the second sliding protrusion 17. Thereby, when the user pours water or tea from the teapot, the teapot lid 3 is prevented from being displaced relative to the teapot mouth 10, and the teapot lid 3 will not fall off and spill due to pouring tea or slight collision when the teapot is used, thereby scalding the user. On the contrary, when the tea pouring process is finished, the user can lightly turn the teapot lid 3 by hand, thereby driving the first chute 331 to leave the first sliding protrusion 14 and the second chute 332 to leave the second sliding protrusion 17, and the teapot lid 3 can leave the teapot mouth 10.

The teapot of the invention is made of a material such as ceramic or glass, and has a certain weight. In the embodiment in which the teapot lid 3 is combined with the teapot mouth 10, the weight of the teapot lid 3 is transmitted from the first chute 333 and the second chute 332 to the first sliding protrusion 14 and the second sliding protrusion 17, and the contacting places of the inner surfaces generate a larger friction coefficient due to the pressure. The teapot lid 3 and its bottom edge 331 can be further supported by the inner convex wall 19, and the frictional force of the weight of the teapot lid 3 on the first sliding protrusion 14 and the second sliding protrusion 17 from the first chute 333 and the second chute 332 can be reduced. The user can easily reverse the first chute 333 and the second chute 332 of the teapot lid 3 to separate from the first sliding protrusion 14 and the second sliding protrusion 17, and take the teapot lid 3 from the teapot mouth 10.
