Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric kettles, and more specifically, to an electric kettle with an operation interface. Background Art

[0002] Existing kettle liners are typically made of glass or metal. Metal liners, because they are molded, have relatively precise shapes and structures, resulting in fewer errors after production. This allows for easier integration with the scald-resistant shell, allowing for installation with a standard shell size. However, because glass liners are typically blown, the liner dimensions can vary significantly. While this is difficult to detect with the naked eye, it can become loose when mated to the shell, making installation difficult. Consequently, glass liners are often secured to the shell by applying glue or other methods.

[0003] Due to the difficulty in installing the glass liner shell and the complexity of matching each other, the operating interface of the glass liner is also difficult to set up. Usually, the operating interface is set on the bottom shell or on the shell, and the setting position of the operating interface is relatively limited. In addition, if decorative lights such as light strips are set on the kettle, the position is also limited. Usually, they are set at the bottom or top, and powered through a position close to the bottom shell or the internal circuit of the kettle handle to avoid difficulties in wiring or fixing. Therefore, due to the influence of the position setting, spatial layout, fixation of the light strip, operating interface, and circuit, the influence of excessive temperature on the circuit, and the need for additional gluing process due to errors in the glass liner, there are many limitations on the setting of the glass liner operating interface and light strip.

[0004] The complex fixed structure also leads to time-consuming installation, increased parts and costs, and requires high proficiency of production line workers. Furthermore, it can be difficult to dismantle for maintenance and inspection, which can easily damage the product and require the replacement of a large number of parts.

[0005] In addition, how to realize the operation interface setting through simple structural setting, so that it is easy to install, not affected by the error of the inner tank, easy to disassemble, stable, with less materials and low cost, compact layout, and no interference between structures, is a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention aims to overcome the technical problems involved in the above-mentioned background technology and provides a kettle having at least one of the technical effects, such as easy installation, strong adaptability, easy disassembly, stability, low material cost and compact layout.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0008] An electric kettle comprises a kettle body for holding water, the kettle body comprising an inner liner and a shell, the inner liner being arranged inside the shell, a gap being formed between an inner wall of the shell and an outer wall of the inner liner, and a water window being provided on the shell;

[0009] The electric kettle also includes a water window assembly disposed at the water window, the water window assembly comprising a housing support and an operation interface assembly; the operation interface assembly includes a human-machine interface; at least a portion of the housing support is positioned in the gap and abuts between the inner liner and the housing, and the housing support secures part or all of the operation interface assembly to the water window; the housing support is configured to limit displacement of the inner liner relative to the housing. The housing support is designed to better accommodate inner liner sizes or variations, is relatively simple to install, and is easy to install and remove, facilitating maintenance. The housing support is configured to limit displacement of the inner liner relative to the housing. This allows the operation interface assembly to be positioned directly in the longitudinal direction of the housing, rather than at the top or bottom as in conventional electric kettles. This provides more placement options, reduces space usage, and effectively utilizes the gap between the inner liner and the housing. Furthermore, positioning the operation interface assembly in the longitudinal direction of the housing makes it more easily visible, avoiding the need for placement requirements for the kettle in other areas, while also protecting the operation interface.

[0010] Preferably, the shell support includes an inner support surface and an outer support surface, the inner support surface is supported on the outer wall of the inner tank; part or all of the outer support surface directly or indirectly abuts against the inner wall of the shell, or is stuck at the water window; the shell support has a mounting port, and the operation interface assembly is connected to the shell support and fixed at the mounting port.

[0011] Preferably, the outer support surface is convex, with its bottom surface abutting the inner wall of the shell and its top surface protruding from the water window. The distance between the outer support surface and the inner support surface is greater than the width of the single-sided gap. When the inner and outer shells are mated, a gap is created around the inner shell. The width of the single-sided gap refers to the lateral distance between the inner shell and the outer shell on any side of the inner shell's outer circumference.

[0012] Furthermore, the shell support member includes an outer shell and an inner shell that are directly or indirectly connected, with the outer support surface being provided on the outer shell; a portion or all of the inner support surface being provided on the outer shell; or a portion or all of the inner support surface being provided on the inner shell; or the inner support surface being provided on either the outer shell or the inner shell. This structure allows the shell support member to firmly support the shell and inner liner without the use of other adhesives or other materials, resulting in a simple structure and easy operation.

[0013] Preferably, an intermediate kit is provided between the outer shell and the inner shell. The inner shell has a flange extending toward the outer shell, and the intermediate kit is sleeved around the outer periphery of the flange. The human-machine interface is fixed to the intermediate kit. A storage space is provided between the human-machine interface and the inner shell, and the outer shell is connected to the inner shell or the intermediate kit. The storage space can be used to accommodate the display screen, control panel, digital light panel, reflective film, and other structures included in the operation interface assembly, which are arranged in sequence. The display screen is connected to the inner shell, and the reflective film, digital light panel, and control panel are provided between the display screen and the inner shell. The provision of the intermediate kit facilitates assembly, and the connection between the multiple components makes the connection between the inner shell and the outer shell more stable.

[0014] Preferably, the operation interface assembly includes a power supply assembly, and the water window assembly is further provided with a reinforcement member that partially or completely shields and / or protects the power supply assembly; the reinforcement member is provided on the housing support member and / or the operation interface assembly. The reinforcement member shields the power supply assembly, preventing consumers from seeing the exposed power supply assembly and thinking the product is cheap. The reinforcement member also stabilizes the connection between the housing and the inner container, and allows the operation interface assembly to withstand pressure when operated, preventing shaking and providing greater stability and durability.

[0015] Preferably, the kettle body also includes a bottom shell for encapsulating the inner liner; when the bottom shell is not installed on the kettle body, one end of the reinforcement is set on the shell support and / or the operation interface component, and the other end of the reinforcement is free and extends toward the bottom shell. When the bottom shell is installed on the kettle body, the other end of the reinforcement is connected to the bottom shell.

[0016] Preferably, when the reinforcement is provided on the operation interface component, a baffle is provided below the operation interface component, and the baffle is the reinforcement or a part of the reinforcement. Through the coordination of the structures, the same structure has multiple functions and is reasonably utilized.

[0017] Preferably, when the reinforcement is arranged on the housing support, a wire trough is arranged below the housing support, and the wire trough is the reinforcement or a part of the reinforcement. The reinforcement is usually difficult to arrange and will also affect the installation.

[0018] Preferably, when the electric kettle is provided with a baffle and a wire trough at the same time, the baffle and the wire trough form an interface, and a socket matching the interface is provided on the bottom shell; the power supply component passes through the interface and is connected to the power board provided in the bottom shell. With this structural arrangement, the reinforcement is relatively simple and will not affect the installation of other structures and cause interference. The interface can protect and accommodate the circuit structure, and can also allow the circuit structure to pass through so that the circuit structure of the operating interface is connected to the power supply at the bottom of the kettle. At the same time, the interface and the socket are plugged in, which solves the problem of the operating interface being difficult to fix and unstable, and can also make the connection between the shell and the inner tank more stable. The operating interface is fixed on the shell support, but it is easily affected by external forces due to repeated pressing. The plug-in structure at the bottom provides better stability.

[0019] Preferably, the shell support, or / and the operation interface assembly, or / and the shell are provided with a water viewing area, which is a transparent material or a hollow area, through which the water level in the inner liner can be seen; the electric kettle is provided with a decorative light, which is adjacent to the water viewing area, and when the decorative light is on, the light of the decorative light can be projected onto the water viewing area. Kettles with glass inner liner are generally difficult to provide with a water viewing area. If a hollow area is opened in the shell, it usually affects the connection or installation and the adaptability is also poor. The present technical solution provides a shell support and other structures at the water window, and uses a part of the shell support or a part of the water window as a water viewing area, which can be used for fixing and is also conducive to observing the water level, killing two birds with one stone.

[0020] Preferably, the decorative light has at least a first color and a second color, or a first color, a second color, and a third color, depending on the water temperature or the state of the electric kettle. When the water temperature in the electric kettle is in the first temperature range, the decorative light is the first color; when the water temperature in the kettle is in the second temperature range, the decorative light is the second color. When the decorative light has the third color, the electric kettle displays the third color when boiling water. The third color can be distinguishable from the first or second color, or can be a variable color that alternates between the first and second colors. The decorative light can be a lamp post, a light strip, or a light ring of different colors. The color differentiation allows identification of whether the water is boiling or keeping warm, which is more convenient.

[0021] Preferably, the decorative light is arranged below the housing support and / or the housing.

[0022] The bottom shell preferably also includes a mounting plate and a bottom cover. The mounting plate is disposed between the inner shell and the bottom cover, the bottom cover being fixed to the mounting plate and connected to the inner shell and / or the shell. The socket is disposed on the mounting plate, which also includes a clearance opening for the power supply component to pass through. A power supply component electrically connected to the user interface component is also disposed between the mounting plate and the bottom cover, the power supply component being disposed on a side away from the clearance opening. By separating the power supply component, a portion of the power supply component is located on the bottom shell, while a portion of the user interface component is located on the shell, effectively utilizing space, avoiding interference between the two components, and saving space.

[0023] Preferably, the inner liner is a glass liner, and the inner liner and the shell are connected by a non-adhesive method. "Using a non-adhesive connection method" means that the connection between the inner liner and the shell relies on the physical structure coordination between the two. Even if there may be a small amount of glue on the kettle, at least the main function of the adhesive is not to fix the two. That is, assuming that the adhesive is removed, there is still a stable connection between the inner liner and the shell. The use of adhesives is costly, requires many steps, and has high environmental protection requirements. In addition, the viscosity of the adhesive in the electric kettle is easily reduced due to long-term high temperature, which reduces the life of the electric kettle. The above structural setting can eliminate the use of adhesives, which is more environmentally friendly and can have good technical effects in both production and application.

[0024] Preferably, the inner liner is a glass liner, and the top diameter of the glass liner is larger than the top diameter of the shell. By setting the top diameter, the top of the glass inner liner can be used as a force point to limit the relative movement between the glass liner and the shell, thereby increasing stability and reducing processes, materials, and costs.

[0025] Preferably, the outer diameter of the intermediate sleeve gradually decreases from the inner shell to the outer shell, so that the intermediate sleeve is stuck at the installation opening.

[0026] Preferably, the operation interface component is entirely located inside the water window or the installation port;

[0027] Preferably, the outer surface area of the housing is greater than the area of the water window;

[0028] Preferably, the water viewing area is a shell support, or an operation interface component, or a transparent or translucent structure provided on the shell.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0030] 1) The user interface components have more placement options, reducing space usage and making rational use of the gap between the liner and the shell. Furthermore, placement in the longitudinal area of the shell makes it easier to see and avoids placing the kettle in other areas that would require placement.

[0031] 2) Good use of space can protect the operating interface;

[0032] 3) It can better adapt to inner containers of different sizes or with different tolerances, is relatively simple to install, and is also easy to install and remove, making it easy to inspect and repair. The shell support is used to limit the displacement of the inner container relative to the shell, so that the operation interface component can be directly installed in the longitudinal direction of the shell;

[0033] 4) It is easy to install, has strong adaptability, is easy to disassemble, is stable, requires less material and has low cost, and has a compact layout. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
