Implementation Method

[0015] The drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent. To better illustrate the embodiments, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced in size, and do not represent actual product dimensions. Those skilled in the art will understand that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted from the drawings. The positional relationships depicted in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent.

[0016] See also Figures 1 to 2As shown, an electric kettle with water level detection includes: a kettle body, a handle, a heating base, a control circuit base, a filter cup and a kettle lid. A kettle lid is provided on the top of the kettle body, a handle is provided on one side of the kettle body, and a water outlet is provided on the other side of the kettle body. A water inlet is provided on the top of the kettle lid for water to flow in. The filter cup is arranged on a longitudinal slide rod inside the kettle body, a heating base is provided at the bottom of the kettle body, the heating base is placed on the control circuit base, a control circuit is provided inside the control circuit base, a heating module is arranged in the heating base, a float sensor is arranged on the longitudinal slide rod, and the control circuit is electrically connected to the heating module, the temperature sensor, the float sensor, the display screen and the control button.

[0017] The control circuit uses a float sensor to detect the water level inside the kettle, and the temperature sensor is responsible for detecting the temperature of the liquid inside the kettle. The temperature value is displayed on the display screen at the base of the control circuit. The heating module consists of a heating tube and a protection circuit. When the heating tube is powered on, it heats the liquid inside the kettle.

[0018] In the above solution, the filter cup is mounted on a longitudinal slide bar via a connecting frame, which moves up and down along the longitudinal slide bar. Drain holes are provided on the bottom and periphery of the filter cup. A lid is provided on top of the filter cup, with a protrusion on top for easy access. One end of the longitudinal slide bar is connected to the bottom of the kettle body, and the other end is connected to the top of the handle.

[0019] The filter cup can be used to place tea leaves or fruit teas inside, and during the boiling process, tea leaves or other teas can be brewed, meeting multiple needs at once. The height of the filter cup will slide up and down according to the water level, and the filter cup can also effectively prevent the liquid on the water surface from boiling too much, causing hot water to splash out.

[0020] In the above solution, the display screen and control buttons are mounted on the front panel of the control circuit base. A buzzer is located within the control circuit base and is electrically connected to the control circuit. The kettle body is made of transparent or translucent glass, and a blue LED light group and a red LED light group are located at the bottom of the kettle body. Both the blue LED light group and the red LED light group are electrically connected to the control circuit.

[0021] The control circuit detects the water level inside the kettle through a float sensor. When the height is lower than the set value, the buzzer will be activated to remind people to add water, or the automatic water adding device will be activated to add water. The blue LED light group and the red LED light group can be illuminated on the glass kettle body, and the light group color can be displayed according to the temperature. When the temperature is higher than a certain value, the control circuit activates the red LED light, and when the temperature is lower than a certain value, the blue LED light is activated. The water temperature can be observed more intuitively, and it is not easy for children to touch it, ensuring personal safety.

[0022] In the above solution, the control circuit is electrically connected to the signal transmission module, which transmits the signal to the smart terminal. The smart terminal can be a mobile phone or a tablet. As long as a designated app is installed, remote monitoring and starting and stopping the kettle heating can be achieved.

[0023] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. A person skilled in the art will be able to make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
