[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The water passing pipeline is arranged in the handle, the water inlet mode of the electric kettle can be water inlet through the coupler arranged at the bottom of the kettle body or direct water inlet from the handle. The water passing pipeline is arranged in the handle, the installation hole is arranged on the kettle body, and the water inlet assembly is connected with the water passing pipeline in the handle through the installation hole. If the water inlet mode of the bottom of the kettle body is adopted, when the user lifts the kettle, the water droplets are sprayed from the water inlet coupler at the bottom and then fall on the coupler, and when the electric kettle is used next time, the short circuit phenomenon occurs due to the water on the coupler. The handle water inlet mode in the application is adopted, so that no water droplets fall out during lifting of the kettle body.

[0016] 2、In the kettle body water level detection member is arranged, and the water level detection member is installed in the mounting hole between the kettle body and the handle, so as to reduce the hole in the kettle body side wall, and ensure the integrity of the kettle body. In order to prevent the water level detection member from being misdetected, waterproof member is arranged between the water level detection member and the kettle body side wall. There is a waterproof gap between the water level detection member and the kettle body side wall due to the partition of the waterproof member, which effectively prevents the water droplets adhered to the kettle body side wall from causing false triggering of the water level detection.

[0017] 3、The setting of the water outlet nozzle waterproof table limits the installation of the fixed joint. The fixed joint serves as the installation structure of the water level detection assembly, which plays a role in fixing the water level detection assembly in the kettle body on the one hand, and provides installation space for the water outlet nozzle on the other hand. The water outlet nozzle passes through the installation channel into the handle and is further connected with the water passing pipeline in the handle. Moreover, the waterproof table of the water outlet nozzle is located outside the fixed joint and the water level detection assembly, and is closer to the water storage cavity, which can also block the installation end of the water level detection assembly to prevent the water in the water storage cavity from splashing onto the water level detection assembly to cause false triggering of the water level.

[0018] 4、The concave cavity-shaped waterproof table and the first limiting edge of the waterproof member form the installation position of the fixed joint mounting member, and the concave cavity-shaped waterproof table wraps the installation edge. The installation position also plays a waterproof role on the installation edge. Since the positioning part of the water level detection member is tightly attached to the inner side of the installation edge, the waterproof cavity formed by the waterproof table and the first limiting edge also plays a waterproof role on the water level detection member.

[0019] 5、The platform-shaped waterproof table is pressed on the outer side of the fixed joint installation edge, which prevents the water in the water storage cavity from splashing onto the installation edge of the fixed joint and then falling onto the water level detection member. At the same time, the bent water outlet part can make the water enter the water storage cavity at a certain angle, further preventing the water flowing out of the water outlet nozzle from directly splashing onto the water level detection member.

[0041] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, the fixed connector 4 is made of metal, and the ring-shaped metal connector of the signal line is sleeved on the fixed connector, so that the signal generated by the water level detecting member after detecting the water level is transmitted to the signal line through the metal connector, and then the signal transmission between the water level member and the control unit can be realized. The signal line is arranged in the handle, which avoids the safety hazard caused by the contact between the water in the kettle body and the signal line.

[0042] The water passing pipeline is arranged in the handle. It can be understood that the water inlet mode of the electric kettle can be to use the coupler arranged at the bottom of the kettle body to inlet water, or to directly inlet water from the handle. For example, as shown in Figure 7 The coupler 11 is arranged at the bottom of the kettle body, and the coupler is further provided with a water inlet pipe 12 which extends from the side of the coupler 11 and is connected with the water passing pipeline 9 in the handle 2.

[0043] In the present application, the water passing pipeline is arranged in the handle, the installation hole is arranged on the kettle body, and the water inlet assembly passes through the installation hole and is connected with the water passing pipeline in the handle. If the water inlet mode of the kettle body is used, when the user lifts the kettle, the water inlet coupler at the bottom will spray water drops and then drop on the coupler when the kettle is lifted, and a short circuit phenomenon will occur when the electric kettle is used next time because the coupler is wet.
