Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric kettles, in particular to a kettle seat assembly of an electric kettle and an electric kettle. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, there is an electric kettle that can automatically add water, which can achieve automatic water addition according to the amount of water in the kettle body. The kettle seat assembly of the electric kettle is provided with a weighing assembly, which automatically replenishes water when the water level in the kettle body reaches the set low level, and automatically stops adding water when the water level reaches the set high level. Placing the weighing assembly below the coupler can make the weighing more accurate, thereby more accurately controlling the water addition. However, since the coupler needs to be set to float up and down, when the weight in the kettle increases, it will drive the coupler to move down, thereby deforming the weighing assembly to achieve weighing. Therefore, the kettle seat assembly will be provided with a gap for the coupler to float, which will cause water to enter the inside of the kettle seat assembly through the gap, and the kettle seat is provided with electrical components, which is easy to cause danger. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a kettle seat assembly of an electric kettle and the electric kettle, so as to solve the problem that water easily enters the interior of the kettle seat assembly through the gap.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a kettle seat assembly for an electric kettle, comprising:

[0005] The panel structure comprises a water retaining rib protruding upwards, wherein the inner side of the water retaining rib forms a mounting through hole.

[0006] Beneficial effect: Since the panel structure includes an upwardly protruding water retaining rib, the water retaining rib has a water retaining function, which can prevent water from entering the installation through hole, thereby preventing water from entering the interior of the kettle seat assembly through the installation through hole and causing danger.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, the pot seat assembly further includes:

[0008] A coupler, which can be floatingly arranged on the mounting through hole;

[0009] An upper pressure ring and a lower pressure ring, wherein the upper pressure ring includes a surrounding edge located above the panel structure and shielding the water retaining rib, and the lower pressure ring is located on the lower side of the panel structure. The upper pressure ring is fixedly connected to the lower pressure ring and clamps the coupler in the middle, and the lower pressure ring is connected to a weighing sensor.

[0010] A support plate, fixed to the lower side of the panel structure, the support plate being provided with a clearance hole;

[0011] The weighing sensor comprises a fixed end and a deformation part, wherein the fixed end is fixed to the support plate, the deformation part can move along the clearance hole, and the deformation part is fixed to the lower pressure ring.

[0012] Beneficial effect: When the kettle body is placed on the kettle seat assembly, the bottom of the kettle body is coupled with the coupler. Since the kettle body and the water in the kettle body have a certain weight, downward pressure will be exerted on the coupler. Since the upper pressure ring is fixedly connected to the lower pressure ring and clamps the coupler in the middle, the upper pressure ring and the lower pressure ring will move downward with the coupler. Since the lower pressure ring is connected to a weighing sensor, the weighing sensor will be deformed, so the amount of water in the kettle body can be accurately measured. Since the weight of the kettle body is directly transmitted to the weighing sensor, the external interference is relatively small, so the accuracy of the measurement can be improved. In addition, the upper pressure ring includes a surrounding edge located above the panel structure and shielding the water retaining ribs. The surrounding edge also has a water retaining function, which can prevent water from entering the kettle seat assembly through the installation hole and causing danger.

[0013] Since the upper pressing ring is fixedly connected to the lower pressing ring and the coupler is clamped in the middle, the upper pressing ring, the lower pressing ring and the coupler are assembled in a simple manner and are easy to assemble.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the lower pressure ring is provided with a water guide groove, and the water guide groove is communicated with the installation through hole.

[0015] Beneficial effect: By setting a water guide groove on the lower pressure ring, the water guide groove is connected with the installation through hole, so if water enters the installation through hole, it will fall into the water guide groove, preventing water from dripping onto the electrical components in the kettle seat assembly.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the lower pressure ring is further provided with a water guide pipe, and the water guide pipe is connected to the water guide groove.

[0017] Beneficial effect: By setting up a water pipe, the water pipe is connected with the water groove, so that water falling into the water groove will flow into the water pipe, and the water will be diverted to a position away from the electrical components through the water pipe. The water pipe and the water groove cooperate to effectively prevent water from entering the kettle seat assembly and causing danger.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the bottom surface of the water guide groove is an inclined surface, and the water guide pipe is connected to the lowest point of the water guide groove.

[0019] Beneficial effect: Since the bottom surface of the water guide groove is an inclined surface, when water falls into the water guide groove, it will flow downward along the inclined surface, and the water guide pipe is connected to the lowest point of the water guide groove, thereby ensuring that the water in the water guide groove can flow into the water guide pipe, which can effectively prevent water from entering the kettle seat assembly and causing danger.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the lower pressure ring is provided with a convex rib, the convex rib abuts against the coupler, and the water guide groove is provided on the outer peripheral side of the convex rib.

[0021] Beneficial effect: The convex ribs of the lower pressure ring abut against the coupler, which can prevent water from flowing toward the center of the lower pressure ring.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the gap between the surrounding edge and the panel structure is D1, the gap between the upper pressure ring and the top of the water retaining rib is D2, and both D1 and D2 are greater than the deformation distance of the weighing sensor when the water volume of the electric kettle is maximum.

[0023] Beneficial effect: Since D1 and D2 are both larger than the deformation distance of the weighing sensor when the water volume of the electric kettle is the largest, it can be ensured that the coupler can float up and down within a normal range.

[0024] In an optional implementation, at least one of D1 and D2 is less than or equal to the deformation distance at the maximum load that the weighing sensor can withstand.

[0025] Beneficial effect: Since at least one of D1 and D2 is less than or equal to the deformation distance of the maximum load that the weighing sensor can withstand, when overloaded, the deformation distance of the deformation part will not exceed D1 or D2, so overload protection can be performed to prevent the weighing sensor from failing due to deformation exceeding the deformation distance of the maximum load it can withstand.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the upper pressing ring includes an upper pressing ring body and a fixing column protruding from the upper pressing ring body and extending downward, and the lower pressing ring is provided with a first fixing portion, and the fixing column is fixedly connected to the first fixing portion.

[0027] Beneficial effect: The upper pressing ring includes a fixing column, which can pass through the mounting through hole of the panel structure to facilitate fixed connection with the first fixing part of the lower pressing ring.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, a step portion is provided on the outside of the coupler, and the upper pressure ring body abuts against the step portion.

[0029] Beneficial effect: the main body of the upper pressing ring abuts against the step portion of the coupler, the convex rib of the lower pressing ring abuts against the bottom of the coupler, the upper pressing ring and the lower pressing ring cooperate to clamp the coupler in the middle, and the assembly method is simple.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the pot seat assembly further comprises a support plate, the support plate is fixed to the lower side of the panel structure, and the support plate is provided with a clearance hole;

[0031] The weighing sensor comprises a fixed end and a deformation part, wherein the fixed end is fixed to the support plate, the deformation part can move along the clearance hole, and the deformation part is fixed to the lower pressure ring.

[0032] Beneficial effect: the deformation part of the weighing sensor is fixed to the lower pressure ring, and the deformation part of the weighing sensor will deform as the coupler moves downward, and the support plate is fixed to the lower side of the panel structure, and the fixed end of the weighing sensor is fixed to the support plate, so the fixed end of the weighing sensor remains stationary, and the deformation part of the weighing sensor deforms relative to the fixed end. The weight of the water in the kettle body is different, and the deformation amount of the deformation part is different, so the amount of water in the kettle body can be accurately measured. Since the weight of the kettle body is directly transmitted to the weighing sensor, it is subject to relatively little external interference, so the accuracy of the measurement can be improved.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the lower pressure ring is provided with a matching portion fixedly connected to the deformation portion, and a clearance portion located above the fixed end and having a gap with the fixed end.

[0034] Beneficial effect: the matching part is fixedly connected to the deformation part. When the kettle body is placed on the kettle seat assembly, the bottom of the kettle body is coupled to the coupler. Since the kettle body and the water in the kettle body have a certain weight, downward pressure will be generated on the coupler. Since the upper pressure ring is fixedly connected to the lower pressure ring and clamps the coupler in the middle, the upper pressure ring and the lower pressure ring will move downward with the coupler and drive the deformation part of the weighing sensor to move downward. The fixed end of the weighing sensor remains stationary. Since there is a gap between the air avoidance part and the fixed end, it can be ensured that the lower pressure ring can move downward relative to the fixed end of the weighing sensor. The deformation part of the weighing sensor is deformed relative to the fixed end, thereby achieving accurate weighing.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the support plate is provided with a mounting position, and the fixed end of the weighing sensor is fixed to the mounting position.

[0036] Beneficial effect: By setting the installation position on the support plate, it is convenient to position and install the weighing sensor.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, a rib is provided on a side of the support plate facing the coupler, the rib protrudes from the surface of the support plate, and the inner side of the rib constitutes the mounting position.

[0038] Beneficial effect: by setting a reinforcement on the side of the support plate facing the coupler, the reinforcement protrudes from the surface of the support plate, and the fixed end of the weighing sensor is limited and fixed on the inner side of the reinforcement, the reinforcement can limit the fixed end of the weighing sensor to prevent the position of the weighing sensor from moving.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of second fixing portions are provided on the edge of the support plate, and a plurality of connecting columns are protruding from the lower side of the panel structure, and the connecting columns are fixedly connected to the second fixing portions.

[0040] Beneficial effect: By arranging multiple second fixing parts on the edge of the support plate, and arranging multiple connecting columns on the lower side of the panel structure, the connecting columns are fixedly connected to the second fixing parts, and a space sufficient to accommodate the weighing sensor and the lower pressure ring is formed between the support plate and the fixed structure.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the panel structure includes a panel and a panel bracket, the panel bracket is supported below the panel, the panel is provided with a first through hole, and the water retaining rib is provided on the panel bracket and passes through the first through hole.

[0042] Beneficial effects: The panel structure includes a panel and a panel bracket. The panel bracket is supported under the panel to ensure that the upper surface of the kettle seat assembly is flat and beautiful. The water retaining rib is arranged on the panel bracket and passes through the first through hole to prevent water from entering the installation through hole.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the center of gravity of the coupler coincides with the force axis of the weighing sensor.

[0044] Beneficial effect: By making the center of gravity of the coupler coincide with the force axis of the weighing sensor, the amount of water in the kettle can be measured more accurately.

[0045] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides an electric kettle, comprising:

[0046] Pot body;

[0047] The kettle seat assembly of the electric kettle.

[0048] Beneficial effect: The electric kettle has a panel structure including an upwardly protruding water retaining rib, which has a water retaining function and can prevent water from entering the installation through hole, thereby preventing water from entering the interior of the kettle seat assembly through the installation through hole and causing danger.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] In the related art, there is an electric kettle that can automatically add water, which can achieve automatic water addition according to the amount of water in the kettle body. The kettle seat assembly of the electric kettle is provided with a weighing assembly, which automatically replenishes water when the water level in the kettle body reaches the set low level, and automatically stops adding water when the water level reaches the set high level. Placing the weighing assembly below the coupler can make the weighing more accurate, thereby more accurately controlling the water addition. However, since the coupler needs to be set to float up and down, when the weight in the kettle increases, it will drive the coupler to move down, thereby deforming the weighing assembly to achieve weighing. Therefore, the kettle seat assembly will be provided with a gap for the coupler to float, which will cause water to enter the inside of the kettle seat assembly through the gap, and the kettle seat is provided with electrical components, which is easy to cause danger.

[0063] Combine the following Figures 1 to 9 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a kettle seat assembly of an electric kettle is provided, including a panel structure, the panel structure including a main body and a water retaining rib 201 protruding upward from the main body, and the inner side of the water retaining rib 201 constitutes an installation through hole 202.

[0065] In this embodiment, since the panel structure includes an upwardly protruding water retaining rib 201, the water retaining rib 201 has a water retaining function and can prevent water from entering the installation hole 202, thereby preventing water from entering the interior of the kettle seat assembly through the installation hole 202 and causing danger.

[0066] In one embodiment, the kettle seat assembly further includes: a coupler 3 , an upper pressing ring 4 , a lower pressing ring 5 , a support plate 6 and a weighing sensor 7 .

[0067] Among them, the coupler 3 can be floated in the installation through hole 202; the upper pressure ring 4 includes a surrounding edge 403 located above the panel structure and shielding the water retaining rib 201, and the lower pressure ring 5 is located on the lower side of the panel structure. The upper pressure ring 4 is fixedly connected to the lower pressure ring 5 and clamps the coupler 3 in the middle. The lower pressure ring 5 is connected to a weighing sensor 7.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the kettle body 9 is placed on the kettle seat assembly, the bottom of the kettle body 9 is coupled to the coupler 3. Since the kettle body 9 and the water in the kettle body 9 have a certain weight, a downward pressure will be generated on the coupler 3. Since the upper pressure ring 4 is fixedly connected to the lower pressure ring 5 and clamps the coupler 3 in the middle, the upper pressure ring 4 and the lower pressure ring 5 will move downward with the coupler 3. Since the lower pressure ring 5 is connected to the weighing sensor 7, the weighing sensor 7 will be deformed. Therefore, the amount of water in the kettle body 9 can be accurately measured. Since the weight of the kettle body 9 is directly transmitted to the weighing sensor 7, the external interference is relatively small, so the accuracy of the measurement can be improved.

[0069] In addition, the upper pressure ring 4 includes a surrounding edge 403 located above the panel structure and shielding the water retaining rib 201. The surrounding edge 403 also has a water retaining function and can prevent water from entering the interior of the kettle seat assembly through the installation hole 202 and causing danger.

[0070] Since the upper pressing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the lower pressing ring 5 and the coupler 3 is clamped in the middle, the upper pressing ring 4, the lower pressing ring 5 and the coupler 3 are assembled in a simple manner and are easy to assemble.

[0071] In one embodiment, the lower pressing ring 5 is provided with a water guide groove 501 , and the water guide groove 501 is communicated with the installation through hole 202 .

[0072] In this embodiment, a water guide groove 501 is provided on the lower pressure ring 5, and the water guide groove 501 is connected to the mounting hole 202. Therefore, if water enters the mounting hole 202, it will fall into the water guide groove 501, preventing water from dripping onto the electrical components in the kettle seat assembly.

[0073] In one embodiment, the lower pressing ring 5 is further provided with a water pipe 502 , and the water pipe 502 is connected to the water groove 501 .

[0074] In this embodiment, a water pipe 502 is provided, and the water pipe 502 is connected to the water groove 501, so that water falling into the water groove 501 will flow into the water pipe 502, and the water will be directed to a position away from the electrical components through the water pipe 502. The water pipe 502 and the water groove 501 cooperate to effectively prevent water from entering the interior of the kettle seat assembly and causing danger.

[0075] Specifically in one embodiment, Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the water guide groove 501 is an annular groove that can receive water entering from the installation through hole 202 in all directions.

[0076] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the water channel 501 is an inclined surface, and the water pipe 502 is connected to the lowest point of the water channel 501 .

[0077] In this embodiment, since the bottom surface of the water guide groove 501 is an inclined surface, when water falls into the water guide groove 501, it will flow downward along the inclined surface, and the water guide pipe 502 is connected to the lowest point of the water guide groove 501, thereby ensuring that the water in the water guide groove 501 can flow into the water guide pipe 502, which can effectively prevent water from entering the interior of the kettle seat assembly and causing danger.

[0078] In one embodiment, the lower pressing ring 5 is provided with a convex rib 503 , the convex rib 503 abuts against the coupler 3 , and the water guide groove 501 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the convex rib 503 .

[0079] In this embodiment, the rib 503 of the lower pressing ring 5 abuts against the coupler 3 , thereby preventing water from flowing toward the center of the lower pressing ring 5 .

[0080] In one embodiment, the gap between the surrounding edge 403 and the panel 1 is D1, and the gap between the upper pressure ring 4 and the top of the water retaining rib 201 is D2. Both D1 and D2 are greater than the deformation distance of the weighing sensor 7 when the water volume of the electric kettle is maximum.

[0081] In this embodiment, since D1 and D2 are both larger than the deformation distance of the weighing sensor 7 when the water volume of the electric kettle is the largest, it can be ensured that the coupler 3 can float up and down within a normal range.

[0082] In one embodiment, at least one of D1 and D2 is less than or equal to the deformation distance of the maximum load that the weighing sensor 7 can withstand.

[0083] In this embodiment, since at least one of D1 and D2 is less than or equal to the deformation distance of the weighing sensor 7 at the maximum load it can withstand, when overloaded, the deformation distance of the deformation portion 702 will not exceed D1 or D2. Therefore, overload protection can be performed to prevent the weighing sensor 7 from failing due to deformation exceeding the deformation distance of the maximum load it can withstand.

[0084] In one embodiment, the upper pressing ring 4 includes an upper pressing ring body 401 and a fixing column 402 protruding from the upper pressing ring body 401 and extending downward, and the lower pressing ring 5 is provided with a first fixing portion 504 , and the fixing column 402 is fixedly connected to the first fixing portion 504 .

[0085] In this embodiment, the upper pressing ring 4 includes a fixing column 402 , and the fixing column 402 can pass through the mounting through hole 202 of the panel structure to be fixedly connected to the first fixing portion 504 of the lower pressing ring 5 .

[0086] Specifically in one embodiment, a threaded hole is provided in the fixing column 402 , and the first fixing portion 504 is a through hole. The screw passes through the first fixing portion 504 and is tightened in the fixing column 402 , thereby achieving a fixed connection between the upper pressing ring 4 and the lower pressing ring 5 .

[0087] In one embodiment, a step portion 301 is disposed outside the coupler 3 , and the upper pressing ring body 401 abuts against the step portion 301 .

[0088] In this embodiment, the upper pressing ring body 401 abuts against the step portion 301 of the coupler 3, and the rib 503 of the lower pressing ring 5 abuts against the bottom of the coupler 3. The upper pressing ring 4 and the lower pressing ring 5 cooperate to clamp the coupler 3 in the middle, and the assembly method is simple.

[0089] In one embodiment, the kettle seat assembly also includes a support plate 6, which is fixed to the lower side of the panel structure, and the support plate 6 is provided with a clearance hole 601; the weighing sensor 7 includes a fixed end 701 and a deformation part 702, the fixed end 701 is fixed to the support plate 6, the deformation part 702 can move along the clearance hole 601, and the deformation part 702 is fixed to the lower pressure ring 5.

[0090] In this embodiment, when the kettle body 9 is placed on the kettle seat assembly, the bottom of the kettle body 9 is coupled to the coupler 3. Since the kettle body 9 and the water in the kettle body 9 have a certain weight, a downward pressure is generated on the coupler 3. Since the upper pressing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the lower pressing ring 5 and the coupler 3 is clamped in the middle, the upper pressing ring 4 and the lower pressing ring 5 will move downward with the coupler 3. Since the deformation part 702 of the weighing sensor 7 is fixed to the lower pressing ring 5, the deformation part 702 of the weighing sensor 7 will deform as the coupler 3 moves downward. , and the support plate 6 is fixed to the lower side of the panel structure, and the fixed end 701 of the weighing sensor 7 is fixed to the support plate 6, so the fixed end 701 of the weighing sensor 7 remains stationary, and the deformation part 702 of the weighing sensor 7 is deformed relative to the fixed end 701. The weight of the water in the kettle body 9 is different, and the deformation amount of the deformation part 702 is different. Therefore, the amount of water in the kettle body 9 can be accurately measured. Since the weight of the kettle body 9 is directly transmitted to the weighing sensor 7, it is less subject to external interference, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement.

[0091] In one embodiment, the lower pressure ring 5 is provided with a matching portion 505 fixedly connected to the deformation portion 702 , and a clearance portion 506 located above the fixed end 701 and having a gap with the fixed end 701 .

[0092] In this embodiment, the matching portion 505 is fixedly connected to the deformation portion 702. When the kettle body 9 is placed on the kettle seat assembly, the bottom of the kettle body 9 is coupled to the coupler 3. Since the kettle body 9 and the water in the kettle body 9 have a certain weight, a downward pressure will be generated on the coupler 3. Since the upper pressure ring 4 is fixedly connected to the lower pressure ring 5 and clamps the coupler 3 in the middle, the upper pressure ring 4 and the lower pressure ring 5 will move downward with the coupler 3 and drive the deformation portion 702 of the weighing sensor 7 to move downward, and the fixed end 701 of the weighing sensor 7 remains stationary. Since there is a gap between the air avoidance portion 506 and the fixed end 701, it can be ensured that the lower pressure ring 5 can move downward relative to the fixed end 701 of the weighing sensor 7, and the deformation portion 702 of the weighing sensor 7 is deformed relative to the fixed end 701, thereby achieving accurate weighing.

[0093] Specifically in one embodiment, the deformation portion 702 is provided with a first screw hole 703 , the first screw hole 703 is a blind hole, and the lower pressing ring 5 is correspondingly provided with a first through hole 507 , and the screw passes through the first through hole 507 and is tightened in the first screw hole 703 .

[0094] In one embodiment, the support plate 6 is provided with a mounting position 602 , and the fixed end 701 of the weighing sensor 7 is fixed at the mounting position 602 .

[0095] In this embodiment, by setting the installation position 602 on the support plate 6, it is convenient to position and install the weighing sensor 7.

[0096] In one embodiment, a rib 603 is provided on one side of the support plate 6 facing the coupler 3 . The rib 603 protrudes from the surface of the support plate 6 , and the inner side of the rib 603 constitutes a mounting position 602 .

The rib 603 can limit the fixed end 701 of the weighing sensor 7 to prevent the position of the weighing sensor 7 from moving.

[0098] Specific as Figure 5 As shown, the rib 603 includes three ribs, namely the first rib, the second rib and the third rib. The first rib and the third rib are parallel to each other. The second rib is connected between the first rib and the third rib. The end of the first rib away from the second rib and the end of the third rib away from the second rib are both adjacent to the clearance hole 601.

[0099] Specifically in one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the mounting position 602 is provided with a second through hole 604, and the fixing portion of the weighing sensor 7 is provided with a second screw hole 704, the second screw hole 704 is a blind hole, and the second screw hole 704 extends upward from the lower surface of the weighing sensor 7, and the screw passes through the second through hole 604 from bottom to top and is tightened in the second screw hole 704.

[0102] Specifically in one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the second fixing portion 605 is a stepped hole, and the lower end of the connecting column 203 is adapted to the shape of the stepped hole.

[0103] Specifically, the connecting column 203 may be interference fit with the stepped hole, or may be fixed by gluing.

[0104] Specific as Figure 5 As shown, the support plate 6 is a rectangular plate, and the stepped holes are arranged at the four corners of the support plate 6 .

[0105] Specifically in one embodiment, the support plate 6 is provided with a second through hole 606 for the water pipe 502 to pass through.

The panel bracket 2 is supported below the panel 1 to ensure that the upper surface of the kettle seat assembly is flat and beautiful. The water retaining rib 201 is arranged on the panel bracket 2 and passes through the first through hole 101 to prevent water from entering the installation through hole 202.

[0108] Specifically in one embodiment, the support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the panel bracket 2 .

[0109] In one embodiment, the center of gravity of the coupler 3 coincides with the force axis of the weighing sensor 7 .

[0110] In this embodiment, by making the center of gravity of the coupler 3 coincide with the force axis of the weighing sensor 7, the amount of water in the kettle body 9 can be measured more accurately.

[0111] Specifically in one embodiment, the kettle seat assembly further comprises a base 8, the base 8 and the panel bracket 2 enclose an installation space, and the support plate 6 is located in the installation space. The installation space is also provided with electric wires, water supply pipes, etc.

[0112] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, an electric kettle is provided, comprising: a kettle body 9 and the kettle seat assembly of the electric kettle provided in the above embodiment.

[0113] The electric kettle has a panel structure including an upwardly protruding water retaining rib 201, which has a water retaining function and can prevent water from entering the installation through hole 202, thereby preventing water from entering the kettle base assembly through the installation through hole 202 and causing danger.

[0114] In one embodiment, when the kettle body 9 is placed on the kettle seat assembly, the bottom of the kettle body 9 is coupled to the coupler 3. Since the kettle body 9 and the water in the kettle body 9 have a certain weight, a downward pressure is generated on the coupler 3. Since the upper pressing ring 4 is fixedly connected to the lower pressing ring 5 and the coupler 3 is clamped in the middle, the upper pressing ring 4 and the lower pressing ring 5 will move downward with the coupler 3. Since the deformation part 702 of the weighing sensor 7 is fixed to the lower pressing ring 5, the deformation part 702 of the weighing sensor 7 will deform as the coupler 3 moves downward. , and the support plate 6 is fixed to the lower side of the panel structure, and the fixed end 701 of the weighing sensor 7 is fixed to the support plate 6, so the fixed end 701 of the weighing sensor 7 remains stationary, and the deformation part 702 of the weighing sensor 7 is deformed relative to the fixed end 701. The weight of the water in the kettle body 9 is different, and the deformation amount of the deformation part 702 is different. Therefore, the amount of water in the kettle body 9 can be accurately measured. Since the weight of the kettle body 9 is directly transmitted to the weighing sensor 7, it is less subject to external interference, thereby improving the accuracy of the measurement.

[0115] In addition, the upper pressure ring 4 includes a surrounding edge 403 located above the panel structure and shielding the water retaining rib 201. The surrounding edge 403 also has a water retaining function and can prevent water from entering the interior of the kettle seat assembly through the installation hole 202 and causing danger.

[0116] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the present application.
