[0044] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0045] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, unless expressly stated, the singular forms "a", "an", "above" and "the" used herein may also include plural forms. It should be further understood that the term "comprising" used in the specification of the present invention refers to the presence of the above-mentioned features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or groups thereof. It should be understood that when we refer to an element as being "connected" or "coupled" to another element, it may be directly connected or coupled to the other element, or there may be intermediate elements. In addition, the "connection" or "coupling" used herein may include wireless connection or wireless coupling. The term "and / or" used herein includes all or any unit and all combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0046] See also Figure 1 The structure diagram of the smart electric kettle according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The smart electric kettle 10 includes a human body detection sensor 11, a user interaction module 12, and an intelligent control module 13 respectively connected to the human body detection sensor 11 and the user interaction module 12. The user interaction module 12 includes a display 121 and a button 122 suitable for display. The human body detection sensor 11 is used to collect human body sensing signals. The intelligent control module 13 can generate a display trigger signal according to the human body sensing signal, and transmit the display trigger signal to the display 121. The display 121 can work according to the display trigger signal to display light; at the same time, the button 122 is also activated to display.

[0047] Therefore, under normal circumstances, the user interaction module is in an inactive state. When the user approaches the electric kettle, the display and buttons in the user interaction module perform display functions, which greatly improves the user experience of the electric kettle. In addition, in view of the shortcomings of poor waterproofness and short service life of mechanical buttons in the prior art, the buttons used in this embodiment are preferably touch buttons, which are more beautiful and have better waterproof performance, and can increase the service life of the electric kettle.

[0048] In some implementations of this embodiment, the human body detection sensor 11 in this embodiment can be a human body pressure sensor, a human body proximity sensor, or a human body temperature sensor. The type and model of the human body detection sensor are not limited here.

[0049] In some implementations of this embodiment, the display 121 may be an LED digital tube.

[0050] In some implementations of this embodiment, the display 121 in this embodiment may be an LED digital tube or other display devices, and the type of the display is not limited herein.

[0051] In some implementations of this embodiment, the intelligent control module 13 in this embodiment may be a PCB circuit board. However, it is understandable that the intelligent control module 13 in this embodiment should not be limited to a PCB circuit board, and the intelligent control module 13 may also be a main control circuit board. Therefore, by associating the display and the human body sensing sensor through the intelligent control module, the display state of the display can be controlled more accurately and effectively compared to directly integrating the functional module that generates the display trigger signal into the human body sensing sensor.

[0052] As an implementation of this embodiment of the invention, the display 121 works to emit light and display preset display information; the preset display information can be information set by the electric kettle manufacturer or the user. Thus, when the human body is not close to the electric kettle, the electric kettle does not display information, and only when the human body enters the detection range of the human body detection sensor, it will light up and display the corresponding information, thereby greatly improving the user experience of the electric kettle.

[0053] Regarding the display activation of the above-mentioned user interaction module 304, in one embodiment, the button is suitable for light transmission, and the display information can be preset that the button 122 can display specific button information when it is light-transmitting, and the button 122 is arranged and installed on the outside of the display 121. When the display is working, light can pass through the button 122 to display the button information. In another embodiment, the button 122 is connected to the intelligent control module 13. When the intelligent control module 13 sends the display trigger signal to the display 121, the intelligent control module 13 can also transmit the touch display activation signal to the button 122 to activate the button to execute the display.

[0054] In some implementations of the present embodiment, the user interaction module is used to display the electric kettle temperature control mode information of the electric kettle. As an example: the user interaction module 12 has multiple buttons, and each button corresponds to a unique electric kettle temperature control mode, for example: it can be a keep-warm mode, a boiling mode, etc. When the user's interactive action on a certain button is detected, a corresponding interactive instruction is generated to control the electric kettle to the corresponding electric kettle temperature control mode. More specifically, the intelligent control module can directly adjust the heater to a corresponding working mode, or the intelligent control module can control the thermostat 15 by calling instructions, and adjust the thermostat 15 accordingly to control the electric kettle to execute the corresponding working mode state. The above two control methods of the electric kettle temperature control mode should all fall within the scope of protection covered by the present invention.

[0055] In one implementation of this embodiment, the intelligent control module 13 is used to obtain the kettle working information of the smart electric kettle; and display the kettle working information on the display 121. The above-mentioned kettle working information includes at least one of the following parameter information: water temperature information, electric kettle temperature control mode information, hardware status information, merchant promotion information, and user-defined information. The intelligent control module 13 can also obtain the kettle temperature information uploaded by the thermostat and display the kettle working information on the display.

[0056] In one implementation of this embodiment, when the human body detection sensor 11 does not detect and collect human body sensing signals within a certain period of time, the display stops working and displaying; thus, when the human body leaves the detection range of the human body detection sensor, the smart electric kettle stops working and displays light, achieving the effect that the kettle lights up when a person comes and turns off when the person leaves, greatly improving the user experience and having a strong competitiveness of the electric kettle. In another implementation, when the human body detection sensor 11 does not detect and collect human body sensing signals within a certain period of time and the button does not detect human body interaction for a period of time, the display stops displaying and the button also stops displaying. Thus, the display of the display provides one more implementation scheme, and when the sensing is not very sensitive, it does not affect the execution display of the electric kettle, greatly improving the practicality of the smart electric kettle.

[0057] See also Figure 2 The structure diagram of the smart electric kettle according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1The smart electric kettle 20 is a further optimization of the smart electric kettle shown in the figure. The smart electric kettle 20 includes a human body detection sensor 21, a liquid crystal touch screen 22 suitable for display and having a user interaction function, and an intelligent control module 23 respectively connected to the human body detection sensor 21 and the liquid crystal touch screen 22. The human body detection sensor 21 is used to collect human body sensing signals, and the intelligent control module 23 can generate a display trigger signal according to the human body sensing signal, and transmit the display trigger signal to the liquid crystal touch screen 22, and the liquid crystal touch screen 22 can work according to the display trigger signal to display light.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the human body sensor does not sense a human body, the LCD touch screen is in an off state, and only when a human body sensing signal is generated, the LCD touch screen works and displays; and, the LCD display screen has both display and interactive functions, which is more beautiful and elegant than Example 1, provides better user experience, has better sealing and waterproof properties, and further ensures the service life of the electric kettle, which can greatly improve the user experience of the electric kettle.

[0059] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A and Figure 5B FIG. 4 shows a smart electric kettle according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the front view of the smart electric kettle includes an electric kettle body 31, an electric kettle cover 32, a kettle handle 33, and an electric kettle base 34. The kettle handle 33 is installed on one side of the electric kettle body 31. The electric kettle base 34 is connected to a power cord 35. Figure 4As shown, the handle 33 of the kettle is equipped with a display unit 332, which is an LED digital tube in this embodiment; a touch button 334; a main control circuit board 333; a hand-holding recognition sensor 331; and a power module 335 for supplying power to the entire circuit system. The display unit 332 is connected to the main control circuit board 333 and is responsible for displaying the temperature of the water in the current electric kettle and the working status; the touch button 334 is connected to the main control circuit board 333 and is responsible for receiving the user's key information and then entering the corresponding function; the hand-holding recognition sensor 331 is connected to the main control circuit board 333 and is responsible for identifying whether the user is holding the handle 33 of the kettle. Thus, each electronic component is encapsulated inside the handle of the kettle, so that the electric kettle has good waterproof performance; and, compared with the prior art that generally uses one electronic base to realize different functions, resulting in a complex base design of the electric kettle, this embodiment installs some electronic components to the kettle handle to simplify the base design of the electric kettle; further, compared with the prior art that uses mechanical buttons, which requires users to operate through mechanical buttons, not only has an ugly appearance and poor user experience, but also multiple mechanical buttons have gaps that make it easy for water to enter, causing the electronic components to fail and damage the electric kettle; this embodiment uses touch buttons with good sealing performance, which is more beautiful and generous in appearance and has a better user experience, and can also make the electric kettle have a higher waterproof level to ensure a longer service life of the electric kettle.

[0060] like Figure 5A As shown, when the electric kettle is placed on the desktop, it is in a dormant state, and there is no display information on the kettle handle 33. Figure 5B The electric kettle is in awake state, and the kettle handle 33 displays the current temperature inside the electric kettle, as well as two function buttons.

[0061] When the user holds the kettle handle 33, the hand-grip sensor 331 recognizes that the user is holding the kettle. The hand-grip sensor 331 is preferably a capacitive touch sensor, but this should not be limited here. Regarding the installation position of the hand-grip sensor 331, such as Figure 4As shown, it is fixedly installed and affixed to the inner surface of the handle cover inside the kettle handle; regarding the installation strategy of the hand grip sensor 331, it can be affixed to the inner surface of the handle cover through a fixed mounting piece (not shown), and a part of the hand grip sensor is exposed to sense the user's hand gripping action. Through the installation scheme of the hand grip sensor, on the one hand, the main circuit part of the sensor is sealed in the kettle handle, which can achieve the waterproof characteristics of the circuit part of the hand grip sensor while sensing the human body's gripping action; on the other hand, the hand grip sensor 331 is hidden and installed on the inside of the kettle handle, which is beneficial to the user's visual experience of the smart electric kettle; it can be understood that the fixed mounting piece can be a snap-on piece to snap-on fix the hand grip sensor, but other fixing methods should also fall within the scope of protection covered by the present invention; regarding the installation position of the hand grip sensor, it should not be limited to installation on Figure 4 The inner surface of the inner side of the handle cover of the middle kettle handle can also be the inner surface of the outer side of the handle cover installed on the kettle handle, and of course it can also be at other positions of the kettle handle, which should not be limited here, but should all fall within the protection scope covered by the present invention.

[0062] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the hand grip sensor and the touch button both belong to trigger components based on the same sensing principle, for example, when the hand grip sensor and the touch button both belong to capacitive sensing trigger components, they should be respectively set in different areas of the kettle handle to avoid accidental operation of the touch button due to the user's hand gripping action.

[0063] The hand grip sensor 331 is installed on the handle of the electric kettle. The hand grip sensor generates a hand grip instruction according to the hand grip action of the human body. Furthermore, the hand grip sensor transmits the hand grip command to the main control circuit board 333 to wake up the electric kettle. The main control circuit board 333 transmits the display information to the display module 332. The display module 332 displays the current temperature of the water in the electric kettle and displays the working mode information of the electric kettle on the touch button 334. When the electric kettle is in Figure 5B In the awakening state shown, the user can operate the touch button 334 to input different function commands to the electric kettle. The main control circuit board 333 receives the function command and the electric kettle can perform corresponding work. When the user lets go of the kettle handle 33, the hand grip sensor 331 recognizes that the user's hand has left the electric kettle and transmits the release command to the main control circuit board 333. After the main control circuit board 333 of the electric kettle receives the release command, the electric kettle enters the corresponding working state, and enters the sleep state after completing the working state.

[0064] See also Figure 6 It shows Figure 3-5BThe working principle diagram of the smart electric kettle shown in the figure shows that the electric kettle is in a dormant state at the beginning, and determines whether there is a user holding the handle. If not, the electric kettle continues to sleep; if there is a user holding the handle, the electric kettle's intelligent control module calls the wake-up program, so that the electric kettle displays the current temperature and working status in the kettle. At this time, the intelligent control module detects whether there is a user interaction action. If the user does not press a key to perform a function operation, the electric kettle thinks that the user has only poured a cup of water, and then continues to determine whether to let go. If the user lets go, the electric kettle executes the dormant program; if the user presses a key, the intelligent control module executes the function program corresponding to the key operation, which can generally be a corresponding temperature control operation, such as: boiling water or keeping warm. After the temperature control operation is completed, the electric kettle starts to determine whether the user lets go. If it is detected that the user does not hold the handle of the kettle, the electric kettle executes the dormant program to enter the dormant state. If it is detected that the user is still holding the handle of the kettle, the electric kettle still executes the wake-up program and the electric kettle continues to remain in the awake state.

[0065] In this embodiment, a hand-grip recognition sensor is installed in the handle of the kettle. The hand-grip recognition sensor recognizes the user's handshake and release actions, thereby realizing the hand-grip wake-up function of the electric kettle. More specifically, in the sleep state, there is no information on the handle of the kettle. The user wakes up the electric kettle by gripping it, and display information and corresponding function button information appear on the handle of the kettle. It is realized that the selection of the temperature control operation of the electric kettle can be executed only after the hand-grip wake-up, which can improve the reliability of the user's temperature control operation of the electric kettle to a certain extent.

[0066] See also Figure 7 The flowchart of the intelligent electric kettle control method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The intelligent electric kettle includes a human body detection sensor and a user interaction module suitable for display. The method includes:

[0067] Step 401: When the human body detection sensor detects the presence of a human body, a human body sensing signal is generated;

[0068] Step 402: Based on the human body sensing signal, control the user interaction module to perform display.

[0069] As Figure 7 A preferred embodiment of the smart electric kettle control method shown is that a human body detection sensor is installed in the kettle handle of the smart electric kettle, and the generation of the human body sensing signal can be completed by the following steps: when the kettle handle detects the human body holding action, a human body sensing signal is generated.

[0076] Step 502: Based on the human body sensing signal, control the user interaction module to perform display.

[0077] Step 503: When the human body detection sensor does not generate a human body sensing signal within a certain period of time, the user interaction module is controlled to stop executing the display.
