Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric kettles, in particular to a base assembly of an electric kettle and an electric kettle. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, there is an electric kettle that can automatically add water, which can automatically add water according to the amount of water in the kettle body. A weighing assembly is provided on the bottom shell of the kettle base. When the amount of water in the kettle body reaches the set low level, water is automatically replenished, and when the amount of water reaches the set high level, the water addition stops automatically. This kind of electric kettle that realizes automatic water addition by weighing has relatively high precision requirements for the weighing assembly. Since the bottom shell of the kettle base is connected with a water inlet pipe and a power cord, when the water inlet pipe and the power cord are pulled externally, for example, when the water inlet pipe and the power cord are pulled upward, the force on the bottom shell will decrease, and when the water inlet pipe and the power cord are pulled downward, the force on the bottom shell will increase. Therefore, it will affect the measurement accuracy of the weighing assembly, and further affect the judgment of the amount of water in the kettle body. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a base assembly of an electric kettle and an electric kettle to solve the problem that the measurement accuracy of the weighing assembly is affected when the water pipe and the power cord are pulled.

[0004] In a first aspect, the utility model provides a base assembly of an electric kettle, including:

[0005] A bottom shell, on which a water inlet pipe and a power cord are fixed;

[0006] An upper shell, which is arranged on the bottom shell in a floating manner;

[0007] A weighing assembly, which is installed on the upper shell.

[0008] Beneficial effects: Specifically in use, the kettle body is placed on the upper shell. Since the upper shell is arranged on the bottom shell in a floating manner, when the amount of water in the kettle body changes, the deformation amount of the weighing assembly changes, and it can be determined whether to add water or stop adding water according to the deformation amount of the weighing assembly. Since the weighing assembly is installed on the upper shell and the water inlet pipe and the power cord are fixed on the bottom shell, even if the power cord and the water inlet pipe are pulled externally, it will not affect the weighing of the weighing assembly. Therefore, the measurement accuracy of the weighing assembly is higher.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the upper shell is provided with an installation part, and the weighing assembly includes:

[0010] A sensor bracket, the bottom of the sensor bracket abuts against the bottom shell, and the top of the sensor bracket is provided with an installation platform;

[0011] The weighing sensor includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part is fixed to the mounting platform, the second connecting part is arranged suspended relative to the sensor bracket, and the upper shell abuts against the upper surface of the second connecting part.

[0012] Beneficial effects: Since the upper shell is floatingly arranged on the bottom shell, when the water volume in the kettle body changes, the upper shell moves relative to the bottom shell in the vertical direction. Since the bottom of the sensor bracket abuts against the bottom shell, the position of the sensor bracket remains stationary. The first connecting part of the weighing sensor is fixed to the mounting platform at the top of the sensor bracket. Therefore, the first connecting part of the weighing sensor remains stationary. Since the upper shell abuts against the upper surface of the second connecting part, when the upper shell moves relative to the bottom shell in the vertical direction, it will drive the second connecting part to move in the vertical direction. Therefore, the first connecting part deforms relative to the second connecting part, and the water volume in the kettle body can be detected according to the amount of deformation that occurs.

[0013] In an alternative embodiment, the sensor bracket is provided with a fixing column, the lower end of the fixing column abuts against the bottom shell, and the weighing assembly further includes:

[0014] A support structure fixedly connected to the mounting part. The support structure is sleeved outside the fixing column. The support structure has a support part, and the support part abuts against the lower surface of the second connecting part.

[0015] Beneficial effects: Since the support structure is fixedly connected to the mounting part, when the water volume in the kettle body changes, the upper shell moves relative to the bottom shell in the vertical direction. The support structure moves together with the upper shell, and the support part of the support structure abuts against the lower surface of the second connecting part. The support part and the upper shell cooperate to clamp the second connecting part between them. Whether the upper shell moves upward or downward, it will drive the second connecting part to move. Since the bottom of the sensor bracket abuts against the bottom shell, the position of the sensor bracket remains stationary. The first connecting part of the weighing sensor is fixed to the mounting platform at the top of the sensor bracket. Therefore, the first connecting part of the weighing sensor remains stationary. Therefore, the first connecting part deforms relative to the second connecting part, and the water volume in the kettle body can be detected according to the amount of deformation that occurs. In addition, since the support structure is sleeved outside the fixing column, the up and down movement of the support structure can be limited and guided to ensure the moving direction of the second connecting part, thereby accurately measuring the water volume in the kettle body.

[0016] In an alternative embodiment, the support structure has a first clamping part, and the mounting part is provided with a second clamping part. The first clamping part is clamped with the second clamping part.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The first clamping part and the second clamping part are clamped to achieve the fixed connection between the support structure and the mounting part. The connection method is simple and convenient, which can improve the assembly efficiency.

[0018] In an alternative embodiment, a first connection end is provided at the end of the upper shell facing the bottom shell, and a second connection end is provided at the top of the bottom shell. In the vertical direction, the first connection end and the second connection end are opposite to each other, and there is a first gap between the first connection end and the second connection end.

[0019] Advantageous effects: Since there is a first gap between the first connection end and the second connection end in the vertical direction, it can ensure that the upper shell can float relative to the bottom shell to a certain extent, and further ensure that the weighing sensor can deform for weighing.

[0020] In an alternative embodiment, a flanging is further provided at the top of the bottom shell. The flanging is provided on the outer periphery of the second connection end and extends upward, and the first connection end is located inside the flanging.

[0021] Advantageous effects: The setting of the flanging can hide the first gap, making the appearance more beautiful, and at the same time can prevent water from entering the inside of the kettle base assembly through the first gap.

[0022] In an alternative embodiment, the bottom shell is provided with a third clamping portion, and the upper shell is provided with a fourth clamping portion, and the third clamping portion is clamped with the fourth clamping portion.

[0023] Advantageous effects: The bottom shell and the upper shell are clamped, and the connection method between the two is simple and convenient, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency.

[0024] In an alternative embodiment, the upper shell is further provided with a first screw post, and the bottom shell is provided with a second screw post. The first screw post and the second screw post are connected by screws. In the vertical direction, there is a second gap between the first screw post and the second screw post.

[0025] Advantageous effects: The upper shell and the bottom shell are also connected by screws, which can ensure the stability of the overall structure. There is a second gap between the first screw post and the second screw post, which can ensure that the upper shell can float relative to the bottom shell within a certain range.

[0026] In an alternative embodiment, a plurality of fixing buckles are provided inside the bottom shell, and the water inlet pipe and the power cord are fixed in the fixing buckles.

[0027] Advantageous effects: The water inlet pipe and the power cord are fixed in the fixing buckles, and the fixing method for the water inlet pipe and the power cord is simple, which can improve the assembly efficiency.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, the upper shell includes a middle shell and a top shell. The middle shell is a circular ring frame, the weighing assembly is installed on the middle shell, and the top shell is fixed on the top of the middle shell.

[0029] Beneficial effects: The upper shell includes a middle shell and a top shell. During assembly, the weighing component can be first installed on the middle shell, and then the top shell can be fixed to the top of the middle shell, which is convenient for assembly.

[0030] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides an electric kettle, comprising:

[0031] A kettle body and the above-mentioned kettle base assembly.

[0032] Beneficial effects: The kettle body is placed on the upper shell. Since the upper shell is floatingly arranged on the bottom shell, when the water volume in the kettle body changes, the deformation amount of the weighing component changes, and it can be determined whether to add water or stop adding water according to the deformation amount of the weighing component. Since the weighing component is installed on the upper shell and the water inlet pipe and the power cord are fixed on the bottom shell, even if the power cord and the water inlet pipe are pulled externally, it will not affect the weighing of the weighing component, so the measurement accuracy of the weighing component is higher.

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] In related technologies, there is an electric kettle that can automatically add water, which can automatically add water according to the amount of water in the kettle body 6. The bottom shell 1 of the kettle base of the electric kettle is provided with a weighing component. When the amount of water in the kettle body 6 reaches the set low level, water is automatically replenished, and when the amount of water reaches the set high level, the water addition stops automatically. This kind of electric kettle that realizes automatic water addition by weighing has relatively high precision requirements for the weighing component. Since the bottom shell 1 of the kettle base is connected with a water inlet pipe 3 and a power cord 4, when the water inlet pipe 3 and the power cord 4 are pulled externally, for example, when the water inlet pipe 3 and the power cord 4 are pulled upward, the force on the bottom shell 1 will decrease, and when the water inlet pipe 3 and the power cord 4 are pulled downward, the force on the bottom shell 1 will increase. Therefore, it will affect the measurement accuracy of the weighing component, and further affect the judgment of the amount of water in the kettle body 6.

[0047] The following will be combined with Figures 1 to 9, embodiments of the present utility model are described.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the one hand, a base assembly of an electric kettle is provided, which includes a bottom shell 1, an upper shell 2, and a weighing assembly.

[0049] Among them, a water inlet pipe 3 and a power cord 4 are fixed to the bottom shell 1; the upper shell 2 is floatingly arranged on the bottom shell 1; the weighing assembly is installed on the upper shell 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, specifically during use, the kettle body 6 is placed on the upper shell 2. Since the upper shell 2 is floatingly arranged on the bottom shell 1, when the water volume in the kettle body 6 changes, the deformation amount of the weighing assembly changes, and it is possible to determine whether to add water or stop adding water according to the deformation amount of the weighing assembly. Since the weighing assembly is installed on the upper shell 2 and the water inlet pipe 3 and the power cord 4 are fixed to the bottom shell 1, even if the power cord 4 and the water inlet pipe 3 are pulled externally, it will not affect the weighing of the weighing assembly, so the measurement accuracy of the weighing assembly is higher.

[0051] Specifically, in one embodiment, there are at least two groups of weighing assemblies, which are evenly distributed on the upper shell 2.

[0052] Specifically, a coupler 5 is provided in the middle of the top of the upper shell 2, and the kettle body 6 is provided with a mating portion adapted to the coupler 5. After the kettle body 6 is placed on the upper shell 2, the mating portion cooperates with the coupler 5 to energize and heat the kettle body 6.

[0053] In one embodiment, the upper shell 2 is provided with a mounting portion 2011, and the weighing assembly includes a sensor bracket 7 and a weighing sensor 8. Among them, the bottom of the sensor bracket 7 abuts against the bottom shell 1, and the top of the sensor bracket 7 is provided with a mounting platform 701; the weighing sensor 8 includes a first connecting portion 801 and a second connecting portion 802. The first connecting portion 801 is fixed to the mounting platform 701, and the second connecting portion 802 is suspended relative to the sensor bracket 7, and the upper shell 2 abuts against the upper surface of the second connecting portion 802.

[0054] In this embodiment, since the upper shell 2 is floatingly arranged on the bottom shell 1, when the water volume in the kettle body 6 changes, the upper shell 2 moves relative to the bottom shell 1 in the vertical direction. Since the bottom of the sensor bracket 7 abuts against the bottom shell 1, the position of the sensor bracket 7 remains unchanged. The first connecting portion 801 of the weighing sensor 8 is fixed to the mounting platform 701 at the top of the sensor bracket 7, so the first connecting portion 801 of the weighing sensor 8 remains unchanged. Since the upper shell 2 abuts against the upper surface of the second connecting portion 802, when the upper shell 2 moves relative to the bottom shell 1 in the vertical direction, it will drive the second connecting portion 802 to move in the vertical direction. Therefore, the first connecting portion 801 deforms relative to the second connecting portion 802, and the water volume in the kettle body 6 can be detected according to the deformation amount that occurs.

[0055] Specifically, when the water volume in the kettle body 6 increases, under the action of gravity, the upper shell 2 moves downward in the vertical direction relative to the bottom shell 1. Since the bottom of the sensor bracket 7 abuts against the bottom shell 1, the position of the sensor bracket 7 remains stationary. The first connecting portion 801 of the load cell 8 is fixed to the mounting platform 701 at the top of the sensor bracket 7. Therefore, the first connecting portion 801 of the load cell 8 remains stationary. Since the upper shell 2 abuts against the upper surface of the second connecting portion 802, when the upper shell 2 moves downward in the vertical direction relative to the bottom shell 1, it will drive the second connecting portion 802 to move downward in the vertical direction. Therefore, the first connecting portion 801 deforms upward relative to the second connecting portion 802. When the water volume in the kettle body 6 becomes smaller, the amount of deformation of the first connecting portion 801 relative to the second connecting portion 802 decreases. The water volume in the kettle body 6 can be detected according to the amount of deformation that occurs.

[0056] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the second connecting portion 802 is a peripheral frame, the first connecting portion 801 is disposed inside the second connecting portion 802. The first connecting portion 801 includes a cantilever portion 8011 and a stress portion. One end of the cantilever portion 8011 is connected to the peripheral frame, and the other end is connected to the stress portion. The stress portion is fixed to the mounting platform 701.

[0057] Specifically, in one embodiment, the peripheral frame is a rectangular frame, and one end of the cantilever portion 8011 is connected to the middle of the long side of the rectangular frame.

[0058] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the shape of the peripheral frame can be other shapes, such as a pentagon, a hexagon, etc.

[0059] Specifically, in one embodiment, the stress portion includes a first connecting beam 8012 and second connecting beams 8013 connected to both ends of the first connecting beam 8012. The two second connecting beams 8013 are parallel to each other and symmetrically arranged with respect to the cantilever portion 8011. The second connecting beam 8013 is fixed to the mounting platform 701.

[0060] Specifically, in one embodiment, a groove 702 is provided at the center of the sensor bracket 7. The cantilever portion 8011 is located in the groove 702 and has a gap with the bottom of the groove 702.

[0061] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the installation platform 701 is an installation groove, which is located on both sides of the groove 702, and the bottom of the installation groove is higher than the bottom of the groove 702. The second connecting beam 8013 is provided with a first connecting hole 80131, and the installation groove is provided with a second connecting hole 7011. The screw is fixed in the first connecting hole 80131 and the second connecting hole 7011 to fix the second connecting beam 8013 in the installation groove. The setting of the installation groove facilitates the positioning and installation of the second connecting beam 8013. In addition, it can prevent the top of the weighing sensor 8 from protruding above the sensor bracket 7, avoiding the influence of the force on the upper end of the second connecting beam 8013 on the measurement accuracy.

[0062] In one embodiment, the sensor bracket 7 is provided with a fixing column 703, the lower end of the fixing column 703 abuts against the bottom case 1, the weighing assembly further includes a support structure 9, the support structure 9 is fixedly connected to the installation part 2011, the support structure 9 is sleeved outside the fixing column 703, and the support structure 9 has a support part 901, and the support part 901 abuts against the lower surface of the second connecting part 802.

[0063] In this embodiment, since the support structure 9 is fixedly connected to the installation part 2011, when the water volume in the kettle body 6 changes, the upper case 2 moves relative to the bottom case 1 in the vertical direction. The support structure 9 moves together with the upper case 2, and the support part 901 of the support structure 9 abuts against the lower surface of the second connecting part 802. The support part 901 and the upper case 2 cooperate to clamp the second connecting part 802 between the two. Whether the upper case 2 moves upward or downward, it will drive the second connecting part 802 to move. Since the bottom of the sensor bracket 7 abuts against the bottom case 1, the position of the sensor bracket 7 remains unchanged. The first connecting part 801 of the weighing sensor 8 is fixed to the installation platform 701 at the top of the sensor bracket 7. Therefore, the first connecting part 801 of the weighing sensor 8 remains unchanged. Therefore, the first connecting part 801 deforms relative to the second connecting part 802, and the water volume in the kettle body 6 can be detected according to the amount of deformation. In addition, since the support structure 9 is sleeved outside the fixing column 703, the up and down movement of the support structure 9 can be limited and guided to ensure the moving direction of the second connecting part 802, and thus the water volume in the kettle body 6 can be accurately measured.

[0064] Specifically as shown in the figure, the support part 901 is a columnar structure, and the support structure 9 is provided with four support parts 901 in total, and the four support parts 901 are evenly distributed.

[0065] In one embodiment, the support structure 9 has a first clamping part 902, and the installation part 2011 is provided with a second clamping part 20111, and the first clamping part 902 is clamped with the second clamping part 20111.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first clamping portion 902 is clamped with the second clamping portion 20111 to achieve the fixed connection between the support structure 9 and the mounting portion 2011. The connection method is simple and convenient, which can improve the assembly efficiency.

[0067] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first clamping portion 902 is a buckle, and the second clamping portion 20111 is a clamping hole, and the buckle is clamped with the clamping hole.

[0068] In one embodiment, the end of the upper shell 2 facing the bottom shell 1 is provided with a first connection end 2012, and the top of the bottom shell 1 is provided with a second connection end 101. In the vertical direction, the first connection end 2012 and the second connection end 101 are opposite to each other, and there is a first gap between the first connection end 2012 and the second connection end 101.

[0069] In this embodiment, since there is a first gap between the first connection end 2012 and the second connection end 101 in the vertical direction, it can ensure that the upper shell 2 can float relative to the bottom shell 1 to a certain extent, and further ensure that the weighing sensor 8 can deform for weighing.

[0070] Specifically, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, in the vertical direction, the size of the first gap is D1.

[0071] In one embodiment, the top of the bottom shell 1 is further provided with a flanging 102. The flanging 102 is arranged on the outer periphery of the second connection end 101 and extends upward, and the first connection end 2012 is located inside the flanging 102.

[0072] In this embodiment, the setting of the flanging 102 can hide the first gap, making the appearance more beautiful, and at the same time can prevent water from entering the inside of the kettle base assembly from the first gap.

[0073] In one embodiment, the bottom shell 1 is provided with a third clamping portion 103, and the upper shell 2 is provided with a fourth clamping portion 2013. The third clamping portion 103 is clamped with the fourth clamping portion 2013.

[0074] In this embodiment, the bottom shell 1 and the upper shell 2 are clamped, and the connection method between the two is simple and convenient, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency.

[0075] Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, the lower end of the third clamping portion 103 is the first connection end 2012, and the fourth clamping portion 2013 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of the second connection end 101 and extends upward.

[0076] Specifically, in one embodiment, the third clamping portion 103 can extend along the circumferential direction of the upper shell 2. Correspondingly, the fourth clamping portion 2013 extends along the circumferential direction of the bottom shell 1. At this time, both the first connection end 2012 and the second connection end 101 are annular.

[0077] In one embodiment, the upper shell 2 is further provided with a first screw post 2021, and the bottom shell 1 is provided with a second screw post 104. The first screw post 2021 and the second screw post 104 are connected by screws. In the vertical direction, there is a second gap between the first screw post 2021 and the second screw post 104.

[0078] In this embodiment, the upper shell 2 and the bottom shell 1 are also connected by screws, which can ensure the stability of the overall structure. There is a second gap between the first screw post 2021 and the second screw post 104, which can ensure that the upper shell 2 can float relative to the bottom shell 1 within a certain range.

[0079] Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, in the vertical direction, the size of the second gap is D2.

[0080] In one embodiment, as Figure 9 shown, a plurality of fixing buckles 105 are provided inside the bottom shell 1, and the water inlet pipe 3 and the power cord 4 are fixed in the fixing buckles 105.

[0081] In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 3 and the power cord 4 are fixed in the fixing buckles 105, and the fixing method for the water inlet pipe 3 and the power cord 4 is simple, which can improve the assembly efficiency.

[0082] Specifically, in one embodiment, the fixing buckle 105 includes two opposite fixing pieces, and the water inlet pipe 3 and the power cord 4 are clamped between the fixing pieces.

[0083] Specifically, an opening is provided on the side of the bottom shell 1, and the power cord 4 and the water inlet pipe 3 extend out of the bottom shell 1 through the opening.

[0084] Specifically, in one embodiment, a water filling structure 10 is provided in the middle of the coupler 5, a water pump 11 is fixed inside the bottom shell 1, the water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 11, and the water outlet of the water pump 11 is connected to the water filling structure 10. When the kettle body 6 is placed in place and the weighing assembly detects that the water volume in the kettle body 6 reaches the low level, the controller controls the water pump 11 to work, and adds water to the kettle body 6 through the water filling structure 10. When the weighing assembly detects that the water volume in the kettle body 6 reaches the high level, the controller controls the water pump 11 to stop working.

[0085] Specifically, in one embodiment, as Figure 9 shown, two third screw posts 106 extend upward from the bottom shell 1, the two third screw posts 106 are arranged at intervals, convex ears 1101 are provided on both sides of the water pump 11, screw holes are provided on the convex ears 1101, and screws pass through the screw holes and are tightened in the screw posts to fix the water pump 11 on the bottom shell 1.

[0086] In one embodiment, the upper shell 2 includes a middle shell 201 and a top shell 202. The middle shell 201 is a ring-shaped frame, the weighing assembly is installed on the middle shell 201, and the top shell 202 is fixed on the top of the middle shell 201.

[0087] In this embodiment, the upper shell 2 includes a middle shell 201 and a top shell 202. During assembly, the weighing component can be first installed on the middle shell 201, and then the top shell 202 can be fixed on the top of the middle shell 201, which is convenient for assembly.

[0088] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first screw post 2021 is provided on the top shell 202.

[0089] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, an electric kettle is also provided, which includes: a kettle body 6 and the kettle base assembly provided in the above embodiment.

[0090] In this embodiment, the kettle body 6 is placed on the upper shell 2. Since the upper shell 2 is floatingly provided on the bottom shell 1, when the water volume in the kettle body 6 changes, the deformation amount of the weighing component changes, and it can be determined whether to add water or stop adding water according to the deformation amount of the weighing component. Since the weighing component is installed on the upper shell 2 and the water inlet pipe 3 and the power cord 4 are fixed on the bottom shell 1, even if the power cord 4 and the water inlet pipe 3 are pulled externally, it will not affect the weighing of the weighing component, so that the measurement accuracy of the weighing component is higher.

[0091] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
