[0018] To better explain and facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, an electric kettle assembly device of the present invention includes a machine base assembly, a lifting mechanism, a pressing mechanism, and a supporting mechanism. The pressing mechanism is provided on the upper part of the machine base assembly, the lifting mechanism is provided on the lower part of the machine base assembly, and the supporting mechanism is connected to the machine base assembly. The machine assembly includes an upper machine platform 3, a connecting column 18, and a lower machine platform 6. The lower part of the upper machine platform 3 is connected to the lower machine platform 6 through the connecting column 18. A material discharge gap is provided between the upper machine platform 3 and the lower machine platform 6. The lifting mechanism is connected to the lower part of the upper machine platform 3, and the pressing mechanism is connected to the upper part of the upper machine platform 3. An avoidance hole is provided at the lower part of the upper machine platform 3, and the supporting mechanism is connected to the avoidance hole. The lifting mechanism includes a first linear drive 4, a lifting plate 5, and a receiving platform 7. The first linear drive 4 is installed on the lower part of the upper platform 3. The lifting plate 5 is disposed in the material feeding gap. The first linear drive 4 is connected to the lifting plate 5. The receiving platform 7 is installed on the upper surface of the lifting plate 5 and is disposed below the clearance hole.

[0020] The working principle of this invention is as follows: In the actual processing of electric kettles, when it is necessary to assemble the kettle body and the bottom cover, the bottom cover can be placed on the receiving platform 7 through the material feeding gap, and the kettle body can be placed on the support mechanism of the upper platform 3. The support mechanism supports the kettle body, and then the pressing mechanism is run to press the top of the kettle body. Then the first linear drive 4 is run, which drives the receiving platform 7 and the bottom cover to rise through the lifting plate 5 and presses the bottom cover into the bottom of the kettle body to complete the assembly. Then the first linear drive 4, the pressing mechanism and the support mechanism are reset.

[0021] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a mounting assembly, a second linear drive 11, a mounting head 14, and a pressing head 15. The second linear drive 11 is connected to the upper platform 3 through the mounting assembly. The second linear drive 11 is connected to the upper part of the mounting head 14. The pressing head 15 is mounted on the lower part of the mounting head 14. The pressing head 15 is located above the receiving platform 7.

[0022] As can be seen from the above description, it is advantageous for the second linear drive 11 to be installed on the upper platform 3 through the mounting assembly. When it is necessary to press the kettle body, the second linear drive 11 can be operated, so that the second linear drive 11 drives the lower pressure head 15 to press down through the mounting head 14, and the lower pressure head 15 presses the kettle body, thus preventing the kettle body from moving when the base is installed.

[0023] Furthermore, the pressure head 15 is made of a flexible material.

[0024] As can be seen from the above description, this helps to avoid damage to the kettle body caused by the pressure head 15.

[0025] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes a column 1 and a mounting plate 2. Each side of the mounting plate 2 is detachably connected to a column 1. Each column 1 is connected to the upper platform 3. The second linear drive component 11 is connected to the mounting plate 2.

[0026] As can be seen from the above description, this facilitates the better installation of the second linear drive component 11.

[0027] Furthermore, it also includes a stabilizing slide bar 12. A lifting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the mounting head 14. A stabilizing slide bar 12 is fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting plate 13. The stabilizing slide bars 12 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 2.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial for the mounting head 14 to lift the lifting plate 13 together when it is raised and lowered. At the same time, the lifting plate 13 drives the stabilizing slide rod 12 to slide on the mounting plate 2, making the pressing head 15 more stable when it moves, and preventing the pressing head 15 from tilting and causing damage to the pot body.

[0029] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes a storage tray 8 and a three-fold support component 9. The storage tray 8 is installed on the lower part of the upper platform 3. A placement hole 16 is provided in the middle of the storage tray 8. A boss 17 is provided on the inner wall of the placement hole 16. The placement hole 16 is connected to the clearance hole. Several three-fold support components 9 are arranged around the outer side of the placement hole 16.

[0030] As described above, this design allows the teapot to be placed within the placement hole 16 and supported by the boss 17. The three-fold support assembly 9 then further supports the teapot, preventing it from tilting before being pressed down. Furthermore, the three-fold support assembly 9 includes a rotating base 901, a first rotating arm 902, a second rotating arm 903, a third rotating arm 904, a first rotating drive component 905, a second rotating drive component 906, and a third rotating drive component 907. The lower part of the rotating base 901 is fixedly connected to the storage tray 8. One end of the first rotating arm 902 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the rotating base 901. The first rotating drive component 905 is mounted on the rotating base 901, and the first rotating drive component 905 is connected to one end of the first rotating arm 902. The other end of the first rotating arm 902 is rotatably connected to one end of the second rotating arm 903. The second rotating drive 906 is installed on the outer side of the other end of the first rotating arm 902. The second rotating drive 906 is connected to one end of the second rotating arm 903. The other end of the second rotating arm 903 is rotatably connected to one end of the third rotating arm 904. The third rotating drive 907 is installed on the outer side of one end of the third rotating arm 904. The third rotating drive 907 is connected to the other end of the second rotating arm 903.

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, when it is necessary to support the kettle body, all the three-fold support components 9 can be operated simultaneously, so that the first rotation drive 905 drives the first rotation arm 902 to rotate, so that the first rotation arm 902 provides initial support to the kettle body. At the same time, the second rotation drive 906 drives the second rotation arm 903 to rotate, so that the second rotation arm 903 provides secondary support to the kettle body. Simultaneously, the third rotation drive 907 is operated, so that the third rotation drive 907 drives the third rotation arm 904 to rotate, so that the third rotation arm 904 completes the final support.

[0032] Furthermore, anti-slip blocks 908 are provided on the side of the first rotating arm 902, the second rotating arm 903 and the third rotating arm 904 near the placement hole 16.

[0033] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial to increase the friction between the first rotating arm 902, the second rotating arm 903 and the third rotating arm 904 and the kettle body.

[0034] Furthermore, each of the anti-slip blocks 908 is connected to the first rotating arm 902, the second rotating arm 903, and the third rotating arm 904 via a pressure sensor.

[0035] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial to control the three rotating drive components to stop operating after the anti-slip block 908 is pressed to the outside of the pot body, so as to avoid excessive supporting force of the first rotating arm 902, the second rotating arm 903 and the third rotating arm 904.

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes a controller 10, which is electrically connected to the lifting mechanism, the pressing mechanism and the supporting mechanism respectively.

[0037] As can be seen from the above description, it makes it more convenient for users to control the overall device. Example 1
