[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Reference Figures 1 to 6The utility model provides an electric kettle base structure, including a base body 6, on which a coupler 7 is arranged, and the base body 6 is connected with a protective mechanism, which is used to shield the coupler 7 to prevent dust, water stains and other debris from falling into the coupler 7, and also to prevent children from accidentally touching it.

[0021] Furthermore, the protective mechanism described in the utility model includes an annular enclosure 1 fixedly connected to the outside of the base body 6, a disc 2 slidably arranged on the inside of the annular enclosure 1, a limit groove 21 provided on the inside of the disc 2, and a cover 5 slidably arranged on the inside of the limit groove 21, the disc 2 is provided with a through hole 4 corresponding to the coupler 7, the cover 5 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the coupler 7, the disc 2 is provided with a driving component for driving the cover 5 to slide, and a rebound component is provided between the disc 2 and the annular enclosure 1. Specifically, the two covers 5 can be driven to slide in the limit groove 21 by the driving component to achieve the effect of opening or closing. After the cover 5 is opened, the kettle is placed on the disc 2. Under the deadweight of the kettle, the disc 2 moves down, the coupler 7 exposes the through hole 4, and is plugged into the connection port at the bottom of the kettle, and the kettle starts to work. When the kettle is picked up, the disc 2 automatically rises under the action of the rebound component.

[0022] Furthermore, the driving assembly in the utility model comprises an operating ring 3 rotatably arranged on the disc 2, a threaded hole 10 provided on the inner side of the blocking cover 5, a threaded rod 8 provided on the inner side of the threaded hole 10, and a gear 15 fixed to the end of the threaded rod 8, the outer side of the operating ring 3 is provided with a burr 9, and the surface of the disc 2 is provided with a mounting groove 14 matched with the operating ring 3, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the thickness of the burr 9 is smaller than that of the operating ring 3, the mounting groove 14 is an annular groove opened on the top of the disc 2, and a groove matching the burr 9 is opened on the inner side of the annular groove. The operating ring 3 is installed on the inner side of the mounting groove 14 and can be rotated arbitrarily in the mounting groove 14, and is limited by the burr 9 so that the operating ring 3 cannot be separated from the mounting groove 14. Furthermore, the surface of the operating ring 3 is provided with an anti-slip groove 18, and the setting of the anti-slip groove 18 makes it convenient to move the operating ring 3.

[0023] Furthermore, an annular groove 11 is provided on the inner side of the operating ring 3 in the utility model, a gear ring 12 matching the gear 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the annular groove 11, a T-shaped ring groove 13 is provided on the side wall of the annular groove 11, a ball head rod 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the gear 15 away from the threaded rod 8, and the end of the ball head rod 16 is slidably placed on the inner side of the T-shaped ring groove 13. Specifically, the ball head rod 16 cannot be pulled out of the T-shaped ring groove 13, so that the ball head rod 16 can limit the threaded rod 8, and the threaded rod 8 cannot move in its own axial direction. When the operating ring 3 rotates, the gear ring 12 drives the gear 15 to rotate, the gear 15 drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate, and the threaded rod 8 drives the cover 5 to move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 8, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the covers 5 on both sides.

[0024] Furthermore, in the present invention, one side wall of the two blocking covers 5 is provided with a slot, and the other side wall is provided with a protrusion, and the slot and the protrusion are both arranged on a side close to the through hole 4 and can be engaged with each other.

[0025] Furthermore, the rebound assembly in the utility model includes a slider 17 fixed to the outside of the disc 2, a slide groove 18 provided on the inside of the annular enclosure 1, a guide rod 19 fixed to the inside of the slide groove 18, and a spring 20 sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 19. The slider 17 slides into the slide groove 18, the guide rod 19 penetrates the slider 17, and the spring 20 is fixed between the slider 17 and the inner wall of the slide groove 18. Specifically, when the disc 2 moves downward, it will drive the slider 17 to move downward in the slide groove 18, squeezing the spring 20. When the kettle is removed and the external force is released, the disc 2 will move upward and reset under the restoring force of the spring 20.

[0026] Working principle: manually move the operating ring 3 to rotate in the installation groove 14, the operating ring 3 drives the gear ring 12 to rotate, the gear ring 12 drives the gear 15 to rotate, the gear 15 drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate, the threaded rod 8 drives the blocking cover 5 to move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 8, so that the two blocking covers 5 are opened to both sides to expose the through hole 4, then the kettle is placed on the disc 2, under the deadweight of the kettle, the disc 2 moves down, the coupler 7 exposes the through hole 4, and is plugged into the connecting port at the bottom of the kettle, the kettle starts to work, when the kettle is picked up, the disc 2 automatically rises under the action of the rebound assembly.

[0027] The above description of the utility model and its implementation methods is not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the utility model, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the invention of the utility model, they should all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
