Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical equipment protection, in particular to a liquid heater with good protection performance. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, they pay more attention to hygiene in their lives, especially infants and young children, who have poor resistance and pay more attention to hygiene when feeding with bottles. Therefore, generally, bottles are sterilized and disinfected by disinfection devices. Existing bottles are generally sterilized by liquid heaters at high temperatures. By boiling the water in the liquid heater, the water is sterilized and disinfected by steam. At the same time, it can also have a steamer function. For example, the Chinese authorized patent "A New Liquid Heater" with announcement number CN214631597U previously proposed by the applicant can place the stewing facility in the first heating chamber, and then heat the liquid in the first heating chamber through the first heating component, and stew and heat the ingredients in the stewing facility through the heated liquid.

[0003] Liquid heaters, as the name implies, are electrical devices used to heat liquids. Existing liquid heaters are equipped with some overflow holes due to safety regulations, and the water vapor generated during the liquid heating process will also enter the interior of the machine through the overflow holes and other gaps, causing a certain impact on the PCB board; and after long-term use, the sealing ring of the liquid heater will inevitably age, break or deform, so that the sealing ring cannot fit tightly to the corresponding area, resulting in water seepage into the interior of the machine. If the area happens to be located above the PCB board, the seeped water will drip on the surface of the PCB board, causing a short circuit in the PCB board.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an improved technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] As a further solution of the utility model: the protective shell includes a top plate and side plates connected to the periphery of the top plate, and the top plate and the side plates are arranged to form the assembly cavity.

[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: a connection structure acting on the protective shell is arranged in the shell to space the protective shell from the bottom of the shell, wherein a drainage hole is arranged at the bottom of the shell.

[0009] As a further solution of the utility model: the shell includes a base plate and an upper shell connected thereto, the connecting structure is a first threaded column extending on the inner bottom surface of the upper shell, a connecting column corresponding to the first threaded column is extended on the circumferential side of the protective shell, and the connecting column is provided with a first mounting hole corresponding to the threaded hole of the first threaded column.

[0010] As a further solution of the utility model: a second threaded column is extendedly provided on the inner bottom surface of the protective shell, and a second mounting hole corresponding to the threaded hole of the second threaded column is opened on the PCB board.

[0011] As a further solution of the utility model: the outer surface of the protective shell is coated with a hydrophobic material.

[0012] As a further solution of the utility model: a cable buckle is also extended to the peripheral side of the protective shell, and the cable buckle is staggered with the connecting column.

[0013] As a further solution of the utility model: a first heating station and a second heating station are provided on the surface of the upper shell.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1) By setting the protective shell, especially the protective shell having an assembly cavity formed by an enclosure, the protective shell can be used to install the PCB board through the assembly cavity, and by setting the protective shell upside down, that is, the opening of the protective shell corresponding to the assembly cavity is facing the bottom of the shell, so that the protective shell can be covered on the PCB board to provide protection for the PCB board, thereby effectively reducing the impact of water vapor generated during the liquid heating process entering the interior of the liquid heater through gaps such as overflow holes on the PCB board, that is, effectively preventing the PCB board from malfunctioning due to moisture, and when water accidentally seeps into the interior of the liquid heater, the protective shell can block the infiltrated water from dripping onto the PCB board, that is, effectively preventing the PCB board from short-circuiting, thereby effectively improving the service life of the liquid heater.

[0016] 2) A connection structure corresponding to the protective shell is provided in the shell, so that the protective shell can be suspended in the shell. Therefore, when water accidentally seeps into the liquid heater, the water dripping onto the protective shell can flow along the outer surface of the protective shell to the bottom of the shell. The protective shell and the bottom of the shell are spaced apart at a distance so that the PCB board can have a safe distance from the bottom of the shell to prevent immersion in accumulated water, thereby further improving the protection effect of the PCB board through the protective shell; and combined with the setting of the drainage hole at the bottom of the shell, the infiltrated water can be discharged in time along the drainage hole. At the same time, the drainage hole can also serve as a heat dissipation hole, so that the interior of the liquid heater remains dry and is conducive to the heat dissipation of the PCB board.
