If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0028] In the existing electric kettle, the size of the power base 200 is generally larger than the water holding cavity 110 of the kettle body 100, and the power base 200 cannot be placed in the kettle body 100. Therefore, when packaging the electric kettle, the kettle body 100 is generally placed on the power base 200 and then the two are packaged together. After the packaged product is completed, the power base 200 also occupies a certain packaging volume. The packaging volume is large, and more packaging consumables are required, which reduces the number of products transported by a truck at a time, which is not conducive to controlling packaging costs and transportation costs.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 According to an embodiment of the utility model, an electric kettle that is convenient for carrying and packaging has a first state and a second state. The electric kettle includes a kettle body 100 and a power base 200. The kettle body 100 is provided with a water storage chamber 110. The upper end of the water storage chamber 110 has an opening 111. The bottom surface of the kettle body 100 is provided with a power terminal 140. A heating device 130 electrically connected to the power terminal 140 is provided in the kettle body 100. A steam pipe 120 connected to the water storage chamber is provided in the kettle body 100; the power base 200 is provided with a temperature control switch 220 and a power supply terminal 230. 200 can be put into the water holding chamber 110 from the opening 111; wherein, when the electric kettle is in the first state, the power base 200 is received in the water holding chamber 110, and when the electric kettle is in the second state, the kettle body 100 is placed on the power base 200, the steam inlet (222) of the temperature control switch 220 is connected to the steam pipe 120, the power terminal 140 is electrically connected to the power supply terminal 230, and the temperature control switch 220 is used to control whether the power line between the power supply terminal 230 and the power base 200 is energized or not, so that, through the temperature control switch 220, the power supply can be automatically disconnected after the water in the kettle body 100 boils.

[0030] Compared with the electric kettle in the prior art in which the temperature control switch 220 is arranged at the bottom of the kettle body 100, the electric kettle provided by the utility model arranges the temperature control switch 220 at the power base 200. Although the height of the power base 200 is increased, the temperature control switch 220 is avoided from occupying the height of the kettle body 100, so that the overall height of the kettle body 100 of the same capacity is smaller. When the electric kettle is packaged, the electric kettle can enter the first state. In this state, the power base 200 can be stored in the kettle body 100, so that the power base 200 does not occupy the height of the kettle body 100. The packaging volume and the overall height of the kettle body 100 are smaller, thereby reducing the packaging volume of the product and reducing packaging consumables, and the same truck can transport more products and the same warehouse can store more products, which is conducive to reducing packaging costs, transportation costs and warehousing costs, etc. When consumers need to use the electric kettle to boil water, they can let the electric kettle enter the second state for normal use. If it is not used for a long time, consumers can choose to store the power base 200 in the kettle body 100 to reduce storage space and avoid the power base 200 from being lost.

[0031] In addition, when consumers need to carry the electric kettle (for example, when moving), they can also put the power base 200 into the kettle body 100, and then carry the kettle body 100, which can reduce the carrying volume, and the power base 200 is not separated from the kettle body 100, which avoids the situation where the power base 200 cannot be found later, which is convenient for carrying.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a receiving groove 210 is provided at the bottom of the power base 200. Therefore, when the electric kettle is in the first state, the power cord of the power base 200 can be stored in the receiving groove 210 to prevent the power cord from affecting the product packaging and to prevent the power cord from shaking in the water chamber 110 and hitting the kettle body 100.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the utility model, a positioning protrusion 240 is provided on the power base 200, and a positioning groove 150 is provided on the bottom surface of the kettle body 100. When the kettle body 100 is placed on the power base 200, the positioning protrusion 240 is inserted into the positioning groove 150, and the steam outlet 121 at the lower end of the steam pipe 120 is connected with the steam inlet 222 of the temperature control switch 220. The positioning is performed by the cooperation between the positioning protrusion 240 and the positioning groove 150, which can ensure that the steam pipe 120 is accurately connected with the steam inlet 222 of the temperature control switch 220, thereby reducing air leakage and water leakage.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A docking nozzle 170 is provided on the upper side wall of the installation cavity 250 , and the steam outlet 121 at the lower end of the steam pipe 120 is connected to the steam inlet 222 of the temperature control switch 220 through the docking nozzle 170 .

[0035] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a kettle cover 300 is provided on the kettle, and the kettle cover 300 can open or cover the opening 111.

[0036] In the specific implementation process, the kettle cover 300 can be installed on the kettle body 100 in various ways. For example, the kettle cover 300 can be detachably inserted and clamped in the opening 111, or one end of the kettle cover 300 is rotatably installed on the kettle body 100.

[0037] Reference Figure 2According to some embodiments of the present invention, the inlet of the steam pipe 120 is opened on the inner wall of the water holding chamber 110 and is close to the opening 111. Therefore, when the electric kettle is in the second state, the water holding chamber 110, the steam pipe 120 and the temperature control switch 220 are connected, so that the hot steam generated by the boiling water in the kettle body 100 can reach the temperature control switch 220 to trigger the temperature control switch 220 to cut off the power.

[0038] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the kettle cover 300 is provided with a connecting pipe connected to the opening 111 and the steam pipe 120, whereby, when the electric kettle is in the second state, the water holding chamber 110, the connecting pipe, the steam pipe 120 and the temperature control switch 220 are connected, so that the hot steam generated by the boiling water in the kettle body 100 can reach the temperature control switch 220 to trigger the temperature control switch 220 to cut off the power.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of the utility model, a mounting cavity 250 is provided in the power base 200, a avoidance hole 260 communicating with the mounting cavity 250 is provided on the outer circumference of the power base 200, a temperature control switch 220 is provided in the mounting cavity 250, and a power button 221 is provided on the temperature control switch 220, and the power button 221 is passed through the avoidance hole 260. The power button 221 is provided on the power base 200, and when boiling water is not needed, the power supply terminal 230 on the power base 200 can be turned off by operating the power button 221, thereby reducing the risk of electric shock.

[0040] It should be noted that the temperature control switch 220 is a commonly used device in the art, and therefore, the specific structure of the temperature control switch 220 is not described in detail.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the utility model, a ring-shaped protrusion 270 is provided on the edge of the upper surface of the power base 200, and a docking portion 160 is provided at the lower end of the kettle body 100, and the docking portion 160 is inserted into the protrusion 270, wherein the protrusion 270 abuts against the kettle body 100 to support the kettle body 100. The protrusion 270 can form a water-blocking effect, and if there is water leakage between the steam pipe 120 and the temperature control switch 220, the water can be temporarily confined inside the protrusion 270, and then the water on the power base 200 can be dumped, and the water in the temperature control switch 220 can also be poured out.

[0042] Reference Figures 2 to 4According to some embodiments of the present invention, the power supply terminal 230 protrudes relative to the upper surface of the power base 200. When the kettle body 100 is placed on the power base 200, the power supply terminal 230 is inserted into the power terminal 140. The above arrangement can reduce the situation where the power supply terminal 230 contacts water and causes a short circuit.

When the wire take-up device 280 rotates, the wire take-up device 280 can reel in or release the power cord. Therefore, through the wire take-up device 280, the power cord can be more conveniently reeled in or released, and it is more convenient to use.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the wire-receiving device 280 includes a wire-receiving post 281 and an operating panel 282. The wire-receiving post 281 is rotatably mounted on the power base 200. The operating panel 282 is disposed at one end of the wire-receiving post 281 and is disposed along the radial direction of the wire-receiving post 281. The power cord of the power base 200 is wound around the wire-receiving post 281. Therefore, the user can drive the wire-receiving post 281 to rotate by grasping the operating panel 282, thereby reeling or releasing the power cord.

[0045] In a specific implementation process, the rotation axis of the take-up column 281 extends in a vertical direction, the operating plate 282 is horizontally arranged, and the operating plate 282 is located in the accommodating groove 210 .

[0046] It is conceivable that the above-mentioned wire-taking device 280 may also be arranged in other ways. For example, the wire-taking device 280 includes the above-mentioned wire-taking column 281 and a motor, and the power base 200 is provided with a motor button. Therefore, the user only needs to press the motor button to control the operation of the motor, so that the motor drives the wire-taking column 281 to rotate to reel in or release the power cord.

[0047] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined.
