Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric kettles, in particular to a heating plate installation structure of an electric kettle. Background Art

[0002] Electric kettles are a common small household appliance used to quickly heat liquids in people's lives. Electric kettles on the market currently generally adopt a design that separates the heating element from the kettle body. During the production process, operators accurately align and fix the heating plate (i.e., the heating element) to the kettle body. Existing electric kettles usually add locking accessories between the heating plate and the kettle body. The assembly of such locking accessories is cumbersome, so when assembling on the production line, operators need to spend more time to ensure the correct docking of the heating plate and the kettle body, which increases the difficulty and time cost of assembly.

[0003] Therefore, how to simplify the operating steps in the assembly process has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] The utility model realizes efficient connection and firm positioning between the kettle body and the heating plate by adding an upwardly extending convex edge on the heating plate and designing an outer ring side surface matching it at the lower end of the kettle body. There is no need to add cumbersome locking accessories for assembly, which simplifies the installation structure and facilitates assembly by workers, greatly reducing assembly time and complexity, enabling operators to quickly and accurately complete the connection between the kettle body and the heating plate, and significantly reducing production costs and assembly difficulty.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] Unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Figure 1-2 The present invention shows a heating plate 3 mounting structure for an electric kettle, comprising a kettle body 1, a kettle shell 2, and a kettle bottom plate. The kettle body 1 is an all-glass, integrated design. The kettle shell 2 is sleeved on the bottom of the kettle body 1. A first electrical connector is provided on the kettle bottom plate, and a second electrical connector is provided at the bottom of the kettle shell 2. The first electrical connector can be electrically connected to the second electrical connector. The kettle shell 2 is provided within the heating plate 3, and the heat transfer surface of the heating plate 3 is tightly positioned against the lower end of the kettle body 1. The heat from the heating plate 3 can be fully and quickly transferred to the bottom surface of the kettle body 1, thereby heating the liquid in the kettle. The outer edge of the heating plate 3 extends upward to form a convex edge 31. The segmented convex edges 31 enclose an installation position for the kettle body 1 to be snapped into. The kettle body 1 is adapted to the convex edge 31, and an outer ring side surface 11 is provided at its lower end. The diameter of the outer ring side surface 11 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the upper half of the kettle body 1, and the thickness of the convex edge 31 is equal to the difference between the two diameters. The outer ring side surface 11 cooperates with the convex edge 31, so that the kettle body 1 can be installed above the heating plate 3, and after installation, the lower end of the kettle body 1 is tightly attached to the heating plate 3. The complete electric kettle composed of the kettle body 1, the heating plate 3, and the kettle shell 2 is cylindrical with a smooth surface.

[0030] In actual production, the heating plate 3 and the flange 31 are manufactured as a single part, which simplifies the actual production process, and the integrally formed part has a stronger structural stability.

[0031] In this embodiment, the outer ring side surface 11 and the inner end surface of the convex edge 31 are vertical, and the two surfaces are in close contact. The heat of the heating plate 3 will diffuse to the convex edge 31, and the convex edge 31 will transfer heat to the kettle body 1, which is equivalent to expanding the contact area between the heating plate 3 and the kettle body 1, thereby accelerating the heating speed.

[0032] During the actual installation, the staff prepares the kettle body 1, the heating plate 3 and the kettle shell 2, and then places the kettle shell 2 and the heating plate 3 upward on the installation table, aligns the outer ring side 11 of the lower end of the kettle body 1 with the convex edge 31 on the heating plate 3, and gently presses the kettle body 1 downward to make the outer ring side 11 in close contact with the convex edge 31 until the kettle body 1 is completely stuck in the installation position, and confirms that the lower end of the kettle body 1 and the heat transfer surface of the heating plate 3 are completely in contact with each other without any gap. In actual use, the stability of the assembly structure cannot be ensured by the cooperation between the convex edge 31 and the kettle body 1 alone, so in actual production, other processes are also needed to strengthen the structural stability, such as applying glue on the convex edge 31 and the outer ring side 11 in advance, or tying a heat-resistant fixing belt on the outside of the convex edge 31.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] Figure 3 The present invention shows an installation structure of a heating plate 3 of an electric kettle. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, there are eight convex edges 31, each of which is of the same size and is equidistantly arranged along the circumferential direction on the outer edge of the heating plate 3.

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] Figure 4 The present invention shows an installation structure of the heating plate 3 of an electric kettle. The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the convex edge 31 is annular and together with the heating plate 3 forms an installation position with an opening upward, and the installation position can be used for the lower end of the kettle body 1 to be inserted and fixed.

[0037] Example 4:

[0038] Figure 5-6 The present invention illustrates a mounting structure for the heating plate 3 of an electric kettle. This embodiment differs from Example 1 in that, in this embodiment, the outer ring side surface 11 cooperates with the convex edge 31 via a concave-convex structure, forming a more stable mounting structure. The concave-convex structure includes a groove 32 provided on the inner end surface of the convex edge 31 and a bump 12 provided on the outer ring side surface 11. The convex edge 31 has a certain degree of toughness, so when assembling the electric kettle, workers need to press the kettle body 1 slightly to secure it to the heating plate 3.

[0039] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by utilizing the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
