[0023] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a precise temperature-controlled liquid heater comprises a kettle body 1, wherein the kettle body 1 comprises a kettle body 3, a kettle cover 4, a bottom cover 5 and a heating device, wherein the heating device is mounted at the bottom opening of the kettle body 3, the kettle cover 4 can be opened or closed and is disposed on the kettle mouth, the bottom cover 5 is connected to the bottom of the kettle body 3, and forms a closed cavity A with the bottom surface of the kettle body 3, wherein a liquid-expanding temperature control seat 7 is assembled and connected in the closed cavity A, and the liquid-expanding temperature control seat 7 is connected to a temperature-sensing rod 9 with a built-in heat medium via a capillary 8, and the temperature-sensing rod 9 at least partially extends into the inner cavity of the kettle body 1.

[0025] This electric kettle utilizes the temperature sensing rod 9 and the capillary 8 of the liquid expansion thermostat to transfer heat, thereby controlling the deformation of the power part, thereby realizing the on-off of the circuit, and can control the heating temperature, set different temperatures, and realize precise temperature control.

[0026] The liquid expansion temperature control seat 7 includes an electrical seat 71 and a temperature control body 72 that cooperates with the electrical seat 71. The temperature control body 72 is connected to an adjustment shaft 73. The adjustment shaft 73 extends out of the bottom cover 5 and is connected to a temperature adjustment knob 74. Different temperatures can be set at any time for heating or insulation through the temperature adjustment knob 74, and the temperature control is accurate.

[0027] A through hole 301 is provided on the bottom surface of the kettle body 3, and the temperature sensing rod 9 vertically extends into the inner cavity of the kettle body 1 through the through hole 301, and a sealing ring 10 is sleeved on the outside of the temperature sensing rod 9 at a height corresponding to the through hole 301. The sealing ring 10 is an I-shaped sealing ring, and the sealing ring 10 is sealed with the through hole 301; it can seal the gap between the temperature sensing rod 9 and the through hole 301 to avoid water leakage.

[0028] The heating device includes a heating plate 6, and an annular sealing ring 61 is provided on the lower side of the edge of the heating plate 6. The heating plate 6 is sealed and crimped on the bottom opening of the kettle body 3 through the annular sealing ring 61; the through hole 301 is opened at the center of the heating plate 6, and the temperature sensing rod 9 is placed at the central axis position of the inner cavity of the kettle body 1; the temperature sensing rod 9 is set at the central position, so that the temperature sensing rod 9 can sense temperature more accurately and improve the response speed of the temperature sensing rod 9.

[0029] In addition, a sudden jump thermostat 16 is also connected to the bottom of the heating disk 6. When the heating disk 6 works abnormally, the sudden jump thermostat 16 disconnects the working circuit of the heating disk 6 to improve the safety of the electric kettle. The sealing ring 10 is arranged between the heating disk 6 and the temperature sensing rod 9. In addition to the sealing effect, it can also have a heat insulation effect to prevent the heating temperature of the heating disk 6 from affecting the temperature sensing accuracy of the temperature sensing rod 9.

[0030] A metal straight tube 11 is vertically arranged in the inner cavity of the kettle body 1 , the metal straight tube 11 is coaxially arranged corresponding to the through hole 301 , and the metal straight tube 11 is sleeved on the outside of the temperature sensing rod 9 ; the metal straight tube 11 plays a role in supporting and protecting the temperature sensing rod 9 .

[0031] It also includes an energy-gathering cover 12, which is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the kettle body 1, and the metal straight tube 11 is integrally connected to the upper side of the energy-gathering cover 12. The bottom port of the metal straight tube 11 is connected to the inner cavity of the bottom of the energy-gathering cover 12, and the top port of the metal straight tube 11 is connected to the inner cavity of the kettle body; the metal straight tube 11 is fixed by the energy-gathering cover 12, so that the metal straight tube 11 supports the temperature sensing rod 9.

[0032] The energy gathering cover 12 is provided with a connecting structure connecting the inner cavity of the cover bottom and the inner cavity of the kettle body 1 . The connecting structure can be a connecting hole 301 opened on the side wall of the energy gathering cover 12 , or a gap between the energy gathering cover 12 and the heating plate 6 .

[0033] Based on the above structure, the metal straight pipe 11 further forms an upper water pipe. During use, the energy-gathering hood 12 reduces the flow of water in the inner cavity at the bottom of the hood, so that the water temperature rises faster. After pressure is formed in the inner cavity at the bottom of the hood, hot water is pushed into the metal straight pipe 11. On the one hand, the hot water flows through the temperature sensing rod 9, causing the temperature sensing rod 9 to sense temperature.

[0034] The heating plate 6 is provided with a central positioning groove 601, the shape of the energy collecting cover 12 matches the shape of the central positioning groove 601, and the diameter of the energy collecting cover 12 is smaller than the pot mouth, and the energy collecting cover 12 is detachably positioned on the inner bottom surface of the pot body 1 through the central positioning groove 601;

[0035] The central positioning groove 601 can position the energy gathering cover 12, and the central positioning groove 601 has a certain depth compared with the energy gathering cover 12 (the depth is approximately equal to half of the height of the energy gathering cover 12), so that the energy gathering cover 12 is not easy to shake and shift from the central positioning groove 601 after the pressure is lifted, and remains in the center position; and because the energy gathering cover 12 is detachable, it is convenient for cleaning in the future, so the diameter of the energy gathering cover 12 must be smaller than the diameter of the pot mouth, so that the energy gathering cover 12 can be taken out and placed in the inner cavity of the pot body 1.

[0036] As for the energy-gathering cover 12 in this embodiment, a flat structure is adopted, which can reduce the space occupied by the energy-gathering cover 12 in the inner cavity of the kettle body 1, so that more food can be placed in the inner cavity of the kettle body 1.

[0037] The energy-gathering cover 12 includes a flat top wall 121, and a side wall 122 extends downward from the edge of the top wall 121. The side wall 122 is positioned and embedded in the central positioning groove 601, and its upper portion 122a is higher than the central positioning groove 601, and the upper portion 122a of the side wall 122 is smaller than the lower portion 122b of the side wall 122. The energy-gathering cover 12 with this structure reduces the space occupied by the inner cavity of the pot body, so that the inner cavity of the pot body can accommodate more food.

[0038] It also includes a base 2, and the kettle body 1 is detachably mounted on the base 2; a lower coupler 21 is arranged on the base 2, and an upper coupler 15 electrically coupled to the lower coupler 21 is correspondingly arranged at the bottom of the kettle body 1, and the upper coupler 15 is electrically connected to the heating device and the liquid expansion temperature control seat 7; the lower coupler 21 is connected to the power grid, and the lower coupler 21 and the upper coupler 15 are separated and coupled by taking and placing the kettle body 1, thereby realizing power on or off.
