Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to electric kettles, in particular to an electric kettle. Background Art

[0002] As a common electrical appliance in modern households, the performance and user experience of electric kettles have always attracted widespread attention. In order to ensure safe and stable operation, most electric kettles on the market are equipped with temperature control components at the bottom of the kettle. This temperature control component can be electrically coupled with the corresponding structure on the base to ensure that the temperature can be accurately controlled during the heating process to avoid overheating or insufficient temperature.

[0003] At the same time, in order to ensure that the electric kettle can be stably placed on the base, the base is usually provided with a concave positioning groove, which cooperates with the positioning piece at the bottom of the electric kettle to prevent the electric kettle from being misplaced. This design improves the safety and convenience of using the electric kettle to a certain extent.

[0004] However, this design also brings some problems. Since the base has no waterproof structure, it cannot be directly washed with water. This means that users can only clean the base by wiping it during daily cleaning. However, this cleaning method is difficult to completely remove stains such as tea stains and dust in the concave positioning groove. Long-term accumulation not only affects the aesthetics of the electric kettle, but may also have an adverse effect on the performance of the electric kettle. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, the utility model provides an electric kettle. The base is all convex or flat, so water droplets, tea stains, and dust can be wiped away by gently wiping with a cleaning cloth, and there are no grooves that are difficult to clean, which effectively solves the problem of difficult cleaning mentioned in the background technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the problem is:

[0007] An electric kettle comprises: an electric kettle body; an electric kettle bottom cover, wherein the electric kettle bottom cover is assembled at the bottom of the electric kettle body, and an upper coupler is arranged below the electric kettle bottom cover; and a base, wherein a first boss is arranged on the base, and a lower coupler corresponding to the upper coupler is arranged on the first boss.

[0008] By adopting the above solution, the design eliminates the concave part, so that tea stains and dust are not easily accumulated in places that are difficult to clean, thereby achieving an easy-to-clean effect.

[0009] Further, the base includes a base upper cover and a base lower cover that are snap-connected, a first cavity is formed between the base upper cover and the base lower cover, a first lip plate extending into the first cavity is provided in the center of the base upper cover, and a second lip plate abutting against the first lip plate is provided on the base lower cover, the first lip plate, the second lip plate and the base lower cover enclose a second cavity for accommodating the lower coupler, and the first cavity and the second cavity are isolated from each other.

[0010] By adopting the above scheme, the first cavity and the second cavity can be isolated from each other to improve the effect of protecting the circuit in the first cavity of the base, so that the base has a certain waterproof performance, which improves the safety of the electric kettle body during use. At the same time, the design of the first lip plate and the second lip plate enhances the structural strength of the base.

[0011] Furthermore, an assembly part is provided on the inner side of the first lip plate, and the assembly part is fixedly connected to the lower coupler.

[0012] By adopting the above solution, the practicality and stability of the electric kettle base are further enhanced.

[0013] Furthermore, a first through hole communicating with the second cavity is provided at the bottom of the base lower cover.

[0014] The above solution is adopted to facilitate heat dissipation of the lower coupler.

[0015] Furthermore, the perimeter of the edge of the first lip plate is smaller than the perimeter of the edge of the second lip plate, so that the second lip plate is wrapped around the outside of the first lip plate.

[0016] By adopting the above solution, the design of the second lip plate wrapping the first lip plate can form a tighter joint, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the base upper cover and the base lower cover. This tight joint helps prevent moisture or other liquids from penetrating into the base through the joint, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the base and further ensuring the safety of the electric kettle.

[0017] Furthermore, a support block abutting against the second lip plate is disposed on the outer side of the first lip plate, and the support block is integrally formed with the first boss.

[0018] By adopting the above solution, a more solid structure is formed, so that the base can better resist deformation or damage when subjected to external impact, thereby extending the service life of the base.

[0019] Furthermore, a second boss is provided on the base, the first boss is located on the second boss, a contact edge is provided on the side of the bottom cover of the electric kettle facing the second boss, the contact edge is provided with a plurality of spaced supporting feet, the supporting feet are abutted against the second boss to form a heat dissipation gap between the supporting feet.

[0020] By adopting the above solution, the design of the abutting edge and the supporting feet not only makes the electric kettle body more stable when placed, and is not easy to shake or tilt, but also ensures that the heat dissipation gap between the supporting feet is unobstructed. The existence of the heat dissipation gap allows air to circulate, effectively taking away the heat, and further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, a second through hole communicating with the electric kettle body is provided above the bottom cover of the electric kettle.

[0022] By adopting the above solution, the main function of the second through hole is to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the electric kettle body and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. When the electric kettle is working, especially during the heating process, a large amount of heat will be generated inside the electric kettle body. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, it may cause the temperature inside the electric kettle body to be too high, thereby affecting its performance and service life. The design of the second through hole is to solve this problem by providing more heat dissipation channels to help heat dissipate into the air more quickly.

[0023] Furthermore, at least one second through hole is provided. When more than two second through holes are provided, the second through holes are evenly spaced along the circumference of the bottom cover of the electric kettle.

[0024] By adopting the above solution, the design of evenly spaced distribution along the circumference of the bottom cover of the electric kettle makes the heat dissipation more uniform. By evenly arranging the through holes around the bottom cover of the electric kettle, excessive accumulation of heat in a certain local area can be avoided, thereby reducing the risk of performance degradation or damage caused by local overheating.

[0025] Furthermore, an extension plate extending outward is arranged on the outer side of the lower coupler, and the extension plate abuts against the first boss.

[0026] By adopting the above scheme, the abutment between the extension plate and the first boss provides a stable support for the lower coupler. Since the extension plate is in close contact with the first boss, a good heat conduction path is formed, so that the heat generated by the lower coupler during operation can be dissipated more effectively. At the same time, the abutment method between the extension plate and the first boss makes the assembly process simpler and improves production efficiency.

[0027] In summary, the electric kettle provided by the utility model has the following technical effects:

[0028] 1. Since the base is a convex structure or a flat structure, it is not easy for the base to accumulate stains such as tea stains and dust. Users only need to wipe it gently with a cleaning cloth to achieve a good cleaning effect. This greatly simplifies the cleaning process, improves cleaning efficiency, and also extends the service life of the electric kettle;

[0029] 2. The cavity design inside the base effectively protects the circuit part, improves the waterproof performance, and reduces the risk of circuit short circuit or damage caused by water or other liquids entering the base. In addition, the stable support structure and heat dissipation design also enhance the stability of the electric kettle body during use, further improving safety;

[0030] 3. The through-hole design on the base and the bottom cover of the electric kettle, as well as the heat conduction path between the lower coupler and the first boss, effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electric kettle body. This helps to maintain a stable temperature inside the electric kettle body and avoid performance degradation or damage caused by excessive temperature. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described and discussed below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention. Obviously, what is described here is only a part of the examples of the present invention, not all the examples. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] In order to facilitate the understanding of the embodiments of the present utility model, the following will be further explained by taking specific embodiments as examples in conjunction with the drawings, and each embodiment does not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0043] Embodiment 1 of the present utility model is referred to Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, an electric kettle is disclosed, comprising: an electric kettle body 1, an electric kettle bottom cover 2 and a base 3, wherein the electric kettle bottom cover 2 is assembled at the bottom of the electric kettle body 1, an upper coupler 4 is arranged below the electric kettle bottom cover 2, a first boss 311 is arranged on the base 3, and the first boss 311 is provided with a lower coupler 5 corresponding to the upper coupler 4. This design eliminates the concave part, so that tea stains and dust are not easily accumulated in places that are difficult to clean, thereby achieving an easy-to-clean effect.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the maintenance of the base 3, the base 3 is split into two parts: a base upper cover 31 and a base lower cover 32. The base upper cover 31 and the base lower cover 32 are snap-fitted together to form a first cavity 33 between the base upper cover 31 and the base lower cover 32. An electrical structure such as a circuit board 331 is arranged in the first cavity 33. In this embodiment 1, an abutment structure is arranged at the edges of the base upper cover 31 and the base lower cover 32. Abutment columns 332 are arranged in the first cavity 33 of the base upper cover 31 and the base lower cover 32. The assembly effect of the two can be achieved by abutting or screw connection.

[0045] For details, see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a first lip plate 313 extending toward the inside of the first cavity 33 is provided at the center of the base upper cover 31, and a second lip plate 321 abutting against the first lip plate 313 is provided on the base lower cover 32. The first lip plate 313, the second lip plate 321 and the base lower cover 32 enclose a second cavity 34 for accommodating the lower coupler 5. An extension plate 51 extending outward is provided on the outer side of the lower coupler 5, and the extension plate 51 abuts against the first boss 311, so that the abutment of the extension plate 51 and the first boss 311 provides a stable support for the lower coupler 5. Since the extension plate 51 is in close contact with the first boss 311, a good heat conduction path is formed, so that the heat generated by the lower coupler 5 during operation can be more effectively dissipated. At the same time, the abutment mode of the extension plate 51 and the first boss 311 makes the assembly process simpler and improves the production efficiency. The bottom of the lower coupler 5 is provided with an assembly hole, and the inner side of the first lip plate 313 is provided with an assembly part 3131, and the assembly part 3131 is fixedly connected to the assembly hole below the lower coupler 5 by screws. The first cavity 33 and the second cavity 34 are isolated from each other, which can improve the effect of protecting the circuit in the first cavity 33 of the base 3, so that the base 3 has a certain waterproof performance, and improves the safety of the electric kettle body 1 during use. At the same time, the design of the first lip plate 313 and the second lip plate 321 enhances the structural strength of the base 3.

[0046] It should be noted that, see Figure 6 As shown, the first lip plate 313 and / or the second lip plate 321 are provided with wire holes 3132 for allowing wires electrically connecting the lower coupler 5 with the circuit board 331 in the first cavity 33 to pass through.

[0047] Since the extension plate 51 on the outer side of the lower coupler 5 is in contact with the first boss 311, although there is no depression for easy cleaning, there is still a risk of water entering when cleaning with a cloth, and water will enter the second cavity 34 along the boss. In order to prevent water from penetrating into the first cavity 33 from between the first lip plate 313 and the second lip plate 321, preferably, in some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the edge perimeter of the first lip plate 313 is designed to be smaller than the edge perimeter of the second lip plate 321, so that the second lip plate 321 is wrapped around the outside of the first lip plate 313, and water flows to the bottom of the first lip plate 313, so that it will not flow between the second lip plate 321 and the first lip plate 313 due to gravity, and can only flow downward along the second lip plate 321. This tight joint helps prevent moisture or other liquids from penetrating into the base 3 through the joint, improves the waterproof performance of the base 3, and further ensures the safety of the electric kettle. At the same time, the design of the second lip plate 321 wrapping the first lip plate 313 can form a tighter joint, which enhances the connection strength between the base cover 31 and the base cover 32.

[0048] In order to facilitate the discharge of water or hot air in the second cavity 34, in some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 As shown, a first through hole 322 communicating with the second cavity 34 is provided at the bottom of the base lower cover 32. More advantageously, an annular convex rib 323 is also provided at the bottom of the base lower cover 32. The annular convex rib 323 can be used to increase the longitudinal space of the first through hole 322 to avoid the problem of water blocking the first through hole 322 under the base 3. In order to improve the stability of the base 3, a plurality of feet 324 are provided on the bottom surface of the base 3. The height of the feet 324 is not less than the height of the annular convex rib 323, thereby ensuring the stability of the base 3.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 As shown, in order to further improve the abutment stability between the first lip plate 313 and the second lip plate 321, a support block 3133 abutting against the second lip plate 321 is provided on the outer side of the first lip plate 313, and the support block 3133 is integrally formed with the first boss 311. Of course, in other embodiments, the first boss 311 and the support block 3133 can also be connected and fixed in other forms. Thus, the support block 3133 and the second lip plate 321 form a more solid structure, so that the base 3 can better resist deformation or damage when impacted by external force, thereby extending the service life of the base 3.

[0050] In this embodiment 1, refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, the bottom cover 2 of the electric kettle is provided with an abutting edge 21 on one side facing the base 3, and the abutting edge 21 is provided with a plurality of spaced supporting feet 22, and the supporting feet 22 abut against the base 3, so that a plurality of heat dissipation gaps 23 are formed between the base 3, the bottom cover 2 of the electric kettle and the supporting feet 22. The design of the abutting edge 21 and the supporting feet 22 not only makes the electric kettle body 1 more stable when placed, and is not easy to shake or tilt, but also ensures that the heat dissipation gaps 23 between the supporting feet 22 are unobstructed. The existence of the heat dissipation gaps 23 allows air to circulate, effectively taking away the heat, and further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0051] Optional, see Figure 5 As shown, a second boss 312 can also be provided on the base cover 31, the first boss 311 is located on the second boss 312, the support foot 22 abuts against the second boss 312, and the second boss 312 is conducive to reminding the user of the position range of the electric kettle body 1, and at the same time can increase the distance between the heat dissipation gap 23 and the base 3, which is conducive to heat dissipation and reduces the effect of the increase in the surface temperature of the base 3 when the hot air passes through the heat dissipation gap 23.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect inside the electric kettle body 1, a second through hole 24 connected to the electric kettle body 1 is provided above the electric kettle bottom cover 2. The existence of the second through hole 24 allows wind to directly enter the electric kettle body 1 through the heat dissipation gap 23, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area of ​​the electric kettle body 1 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency. When the electric kettle is working, especially during the heating process, a large amount of heat will be generated inside the electric kettle body 1. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, it may cause the temperature inside the electric kettle body 1 to be too high, thereby affecting its performance and service life. The design of the second through hole 24 is to solve this problem, by providing more heat dissipation channels to help heat dissipate into the air more quickly.

[0053] It should be noted that at least one of the second through holes 24 is provided. When there are more than two, the second through holes 24 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the electric kettle bottom cover 2. The design of evenly spaced along the circumference of the electric kettle bottom cover 2 makes the heat dissipation more uniform. By evenly arranging the through holes around the electric kettle bottom cover 2, excessive accumulation of heat in a local area can be avoided, thereby reducing the risk of performance degradation or damage caused by local overheating. Preferably, two of the second through holes 24 are provided.

[0054] In summary, the electric kettle provided by the utility model has the following technical effects:

[0055] 1. Since the base 3 is a convex structure or a flat structure, it is not easy for the base 3 to accumulate stains such as tea stains and dust. The user only needs to wipe it gently with a cleaning cloth to achieve a good cleaning effect. This greatly simplifies the cleaning process, improves the cleaning efficiency, and also prolongs the service life of the electric kettle;

[0056] 2. The cavity design inside the base 3 effectively protects the circuit part, improves the waterproof performance, and reduces the risk of circuit short circuit or damage caused by water or other liquids entering the base 3. In addition, the stable support structure and heat dissipation design also enhance the stability of the electric kettle body 1 during use, further improving safety;

[0057] 3. The through-hole design on the base 3 and the bottom cover 2 of the electric kettle, as well as the heat conduction path between the lower coupler 5 and the first boss 311, effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electric kettle body 1. This helps to maintain a stable temperature inside the electric kettle body 1 and avoid performance degradation or damage caused by excessive temperature.

[0058] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above-mentioned implementation mode, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
