Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric kettles, and particularly to an electric kettle base with a hidden and convenient cable winding structure. Background Art

[0002] An electric kettle is a common small appliance in daily life, which is convenient for people to boil water for drinking. An electric kettle generally consists of a kettle body and a kettle base. The kettle base supplies power to the kettle body, so it generally has a long power cord. The exposed and disordered power cord affects the aesthetics and also affects the use. The traditional method usually requires the user to manually wind the power cord for storage and retrieval, which not only takes time but also is inconvenient to operate. Moreover, the wound power cord on the conventional base is particularly likely to fall off. Furthermore, after the power cord is wound on the conventional base, it is exposed outside, and there is a certain probability that it will be damaged, resulting in the failure of power supply or leakage when using the electric kettle to boil water, thus posing a danger. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an electric kettle base with a hidden and convenient cable winding structure. Summary of the Utility Model
