Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric kettles, and particularly relates to an assembly device for a lightweight and stable conductive temperature control connector. Background Technique
[0002] An electric kettle is a widely used household appliance, specifically designed for quickly heating water. Its convenience and efficiency make it an essential tool in many households and offices. The thermostat of an electric kettle is one of its key components, responsible for monitoring and controlling the water temperature. The thermostat utilizes the principle of thermal expansion and contraction of a bimetallic strip. When the water temperature reaches the set value, the bimetallic strip is heated and bent, pushing the switch to disconnect the circuit, thereby cutting off the power supply. After the water temperature drops, the bimetallic strip returns to its original state, and the switch closes again, allowing for reheating, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the electric kettle. In the prior art, the installation and maintenance of the thermostat of an electric kettle are relatively cumbersome, requiring more operation steps and time, increasing the labor cost of users. Moreover, the single fixing method of the thermostat results in insufficient stability of the connection structure, which is easily affected by external vibration and impact, thus affecting the stability and durability of the product.

When maintenance or component replacement of the electric kettle is required, the connection method through the fixing hole makes disassembly and reinstallation more convenient. The user only needs to loosen the bolt to easily remove the fixing plate 1 for necessary maintenance or replacement operations, reducing the maintenance difficulty and time. The design of the through fixing hole enables the bolt to provide better support and fixing effect, enhancing the bonding strength between the fixing plate 1 and the base 8, avoiding deformation or damage caused by external forces, extending the service life of the product.

This not only improves the overall connection strength and stability, but also reduces the risk of loosening or displacement that may occur due to single-point fixing. The position of the second fixing hole 10 is precisely designed to ensure the alignment of the components between the fixing plate 1 and the base 8. This design can effectively avoid misalignment or deviation during installation, ensuring the precise cooperation between the components of the electric kettle, thus improving the performance and reliability of the product.Through the through second fixing holes 10 and bolt connection, the bonding force between the fixing plate 1 and the base 8 is greatly enhanced, and the structural strength is improved. This design can withstand greater external pressure and vibration, extending the service life of the electric kettle. When maintenance or component replacement of the electric kettle is required, the second fixing holes 10 and bolt connection method makes disassembly and reinstallation more convenient. The user only needs to loosen the bolts to easily remove the fixing plate 1 and the base 8 for necessary repair or replacement operations, reducing the repair difficulty and time.

A retaining ring 3 is provided on the base 8. Inside the retaining ring 3, a neutral wire 5, a live wire 2, and a ground wire 4 are arranged in sequence. A wiring electrode 11 is connected to the live wire 2 and the neutral wire 5. A water-retaining pad 6 is provided above the wiring electrode 11 on the retaining ring 3. The end of the wiring electrode 11 is located outside the retaining ring 3. Setting the end of the wiring electrode 11 outside the retaining ring 3 effectively isolates the electrode from the water vapor and liquid inside the kettle, preventing possible short-circuit situations. At the same time, this design also reduces the risk of users accidentally touching the wiring electrode 11, improving the overall safety. Placing the electrode end outside the retaining ring 3 and further protecting it through the water-retaining pad 6 can significantly reduce the erosion of the electrode by water vapor or splashing water, ensuring the dryness of the electrical connection part, improving the waterproof performance, and extending the service life of the electric kettle. The outer electrode design reduces the possibility of electrical faults, such as poor contact or short circuit caused by a humid environment, thereby improving the overall reliability of the product and user satisfaction. During the production and assembly process, setting the end of the wiring electrode 11 outside the retaining ring 3 makes the installation of the electrical part simpler and more intuitive, reducing complex internal operation steps and improving production efficiency. There are buckles 12 in the positioning groove 9 of the fixing plate 1. The base 8 is limit-connected to the positioning groove 9 through the buckles 12. The buckle 12 design enables the base 8 to be quickly snapped into the positioning groove 9 without the need for additional tools or complex operation steps. This simplifies the installation and positioning process, saving time and labor costs.The cooperation between the buckle 12 and the positioning groove 9 ensures that the base 8 is firmly fixed in the positioning groove 9, preventing loosening or displacement caused by vibration or external force. This enhances the overall stability and reliability of the base 8 during assembly. Through the limited clamping mode of the buckle 12 and the positioning groove 9, the use of fixing parts such as screws is reduced, making the structure more concise. This not only reduces the manufacturing cost, but also improves the production efficiency.
