Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of liquid heaters, in particular to an electric kettle with an optimized structure. Background Art

[0002] Electric kettles and health kettles are common liquid heaters in daily life, meeting people's daily needs for hot water, health tea, and other beverages. Liquid heaters with integrated glass bodies avoid the risk of heavy metal precipitation and meet users' visual needs, making them popular.

[0003] In the related art, patents such as CN202322971783.5 and CN202322666798.0 both use an all-glass integrated kettle body, which can effectively avoid heavy metal pollution and improve safety of use. However, the above patents use a heating plate as the heating structure of the kettle body. On the one hand, the heating plate is set close to the bottom of the kettle body, and the flatness of the fitting surface of the kettle body and the heating plate is relatively high. Otherwise, it is easy for the heating plate to have poor contact with the bottom of the kettle body, resulting in uneven heating. On the other hand, the heating plate is directly exposed in the bottom shell of the kettle below the kettle body. The heat of the heating plate is easily transferred to the coupler in the bottom shell of the kettle, affecting the performance and life of the coupler. Moreover, the heat of the heating plate is easily transferred to the bottom shell of the kettle. The bottom shell of the kettle is generally made of plastic, which may be deformed or melted by high temperature. There is also a risk of scalding the user. It can be seen that the kettle body heating structure adopted by the above patents has certain defects in installation and use, which needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0012] The first heat shield is provided with a first annular groove, and the second heat shield is provided with a second annular groove. The second groove accommodates the light wave tube, and the second groove is sunken and installed in the first groove. The top end of the inner ring side wall of the second groove is provided with a flange portion, and the flange portion is mounted on the inner ring side wall of the first groove.

[0013] The outer ring side wall of the first groove and the outer ring side wall of the second groove are provided with communicating notches at corresponding positions for the wiring of the light wave tube to pass through.

[0014] A mounting boss is provided on the bottom wall of the second groove, and the light wave tube is fixed on the mounting boss.

[0015] An open groove is provided on one side of the shell, and the shell is stretched and deformed through the open groove to wrap the full glass pot body.

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The electric kettle of the present invention adopts an all-glass kettle body to avoid heavy metal pollution, and uses a light wave heating component as the heating structure of the kettle body. The heat insulation of the light wave heating component and the all-glass kettle body are enclosed to form an insulating cavity. The light wave tube is arranged in the insulating cavity. The heat of the light wave tube can be radiated into the kettle body to heat the liquid in the kettle body. Compared with the existing method of attaching a heating plate to the bottom of the kettle body, the light wave tube of the present application does not need to be attached to the kettle body, which can reduce the requirements for the flatness of the bottom of the kettle body and help reduce costs; by arranging the heat insulation component and forming the insulating cavity, it is beneficial to concentrate the heat of the light wave tube to radiate to the kettle body, which can reduce heat loss and improve heating efficiency; and the heat insulation component forms physical isolation, which can effectively prevent the heat of the light wave tube from being transferred to the shell component, and can prevent the shell component from being thermally deformed or scalding the user when the temperature is high, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the product.

[0018] 2. In order to realize the installation of the heat insulation component, the heat insulation component can be clamped by the kettle body and the bottom cover, that is, the heat insulation component is supported by the bottom cover to press against the kettle body, and the kettle body is pressed against the outer shell, so that the entire kettle body assembly is firmly assembled and has a compact structure, which is conducive to reducing the axial size of the kettle body assembly and making the kettle body assembly small and light.

[0019] 3. In order to achieve the installation of the thermal insulation, the thermal insulation can be fixed to the outer shell without the bottom cover supporting the thermal insulation. The distance between the thermal insulation and the bottom cover can be increased, and the heat transfer between the two can be reduced, which is beneficial to lowering the temperature of the bottom cover and reducing the probability of thermal deformation, and preventing the bottom cover from being too hot and scalding the desktop.

[0020] 4. In the method of supporting the thermal insulation member by the bottom cover, the thermal insulation member is provided with an annular concave groove and a concave air-avoiding cavity located on the radial inner side of the groove. The groove is used to install the light wave tube, and the air-avoiding cavity is used to accommodate the upper coupler, which effectively utilizes the space between the inner and outer rings of the thermal insulation member, promotes the compactness of the structural arrangement, and realizes the miniaturization of the kettle body assembly.

[0021] 5. In the manner in which the thermal insulation member is suspended relative to the bottom cover, the thermal insulation member is provided with an outer flange, which can be fixed to the outer shell through the outer flange, thereby increasing the flexibility of the structure and installation method of the thermal insulation member.

[0022] 6. In order to improve the heat insulation effect, the heat insulation member can adopt a double-layer heat insulation cover, so that the heat of the light wave tube can fully heat the kettle body while preventing heat from being transferred to the shell assembly, which is beneficial to reducing the temperature of the shell assembly.

[0023] 7. Both the first heat shield and the second heat shield are provided with an annular groove, which is conducive to forming a cavity radially inside the groove to accommodate the upper coupler, thereby improving space utilization and achieving a compact structure.

[0024] 8. The light wave tube is arranged in the second groove of the second heat insulation cover. By arranging a mounting boss on the bottom wall of the second groove, the light wave tube can be raised to reduce the gap between the light wave tube and the bottom of the kettle body, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency. Moreover, the light wave tube is supported by the mounting boss, which can reduce the area of ​​direct contact between the light wave tube and the bottom wall of the second heat insulation cover, thereby preventing the heat of the light wave tube from being transferred outward through the second heat insulation cover and enhancing the heat insulation effect.

[0025] 9. An open groove is provided on one side of the shell. When the kettle body is installed, the upper end of the shell can be stretched through the open groove to have enough space to allow the upper end of the kettle body to extend out, and then the open groove can be tightened and locked with screws. This facilitates the installation of the kettle body and helps the shell to tighten the kettle body, ensuring the firmness of the kettle body assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides an electric kettle with an optimized structure, including a kettle body assembly 10 and a power base 11 which are separately arranged. The kettle body assembly 10 and the power base 11 are electrically connected via a coupling assembly. The kettle body assembly 10 is provided with an upper coupler 12, and the power base 11 is provided with a lower coupler. When the kettle body assembly 10 is correctly placed on the power base 11, the upper coupler 12 and the lower coupler are plugged into each other, and then the liquid in the all-glass kettle body 13 can be heated by starting the switch.

[0040] The kettle assembly 10 includes an all-glass kettle body 13, a light wave heating assembly disposed below the all-glass kettle body 13, and a housing assembly surrounding the all-glass kettle body 13 and the light wave heating assembly. The light wave heating assembly includes a heat insulator 14 and a light wave tube 15. The heat insulator 14 cooperates with the housing assembly so that the heat insulator 14 abuts the all-glass kettle body 13. The heat insulator 14 and the all-glass kettle body 13 together form an insulating cavity 16 that encloses the light wave tube 15. The all-glass kettle body 13 is made of glass to form an integrated structure. It has an open upper end and a closed lower end. A lid is provided at the upper opening to cover the opening when boiling water or making tea to prevent liquid from splashing.

[0041] The electric water kettle of the present invention adopts an all-glass kettle body 13 to avoid heavy metal pollution, and uses a light wave heating component as the heating structure of the all-glass kettle body 13. The heat insulating member 14 of the light wave heating component and the all-glass kettle body 13 are enclosed to form a heat insulating cavity 16. The light wave tube 15 is arranged in the heat insulating cavity 16. The heat of the light wave tube 15 can be radiated into the all-glass kettle body 13 to heat the liquid in the all-glass kettle body 13. Compared with the existing method of attaching a heating plate to the bottom of the all-glass kettle body 13, the light wave tube 15 of the present invention does not need to be attached to the bottom of the all-glass kettle body 13. The close-fitting arrangement of the all-glass kettle body 13 can reduce the requirements for the flatness of the bottom of the all-glass kettle body 13, which is beneficial to reducing costs; by arranging the heat insulating member 14 and forming the heat insulating cavity 16, it is beneficial to concentrate the heat of the light wave tube 15 to radiate to the all-glass kettle body 13, which can reduce heat loss and improve heating efficiency; and the heat insulating member 14 forms a physical isolation, which can effectively prevent the heat of the light wave tube 15 from being transferred to the shell assembly, and can prevent the shell assembly from being thermally deformed or scalding the user when the temperature is high, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the product.

[0042] It should be understood that the relationship between the light wave tube 15 and the all-glass kettle body 13 of the present application does not restrict whether the two are in contact. The purpose is to confine the light wave tube 15 within the insulation cavity 16, and the position of the light wave tube 15 is restricted by the fixation of the thermal insulation member 14. That is, the light wave tube 15 can be in contact with the bottom of the all-glass kettle body 13 or not. The heat of the light wave tube 15 heats the all-glass kettle body 13 through radiation, eliminating the need for the flatness of the bottom of the all-glass kettle body 13. This can reduce the precision requirements for the processing of the all-glass kettle body 13 and save costs. The provision of the thermal insulation member 14 can effectively isolate the light wave tube 15 from the outer shell components, thereby reducing the impact of the heat of the light wave tube 15 on the shell components, which helps to extend the service life of the shell components.

[0043] There are two ways of matching the thermal insulation member 14 with the shell assembly. In the first embodiment, the shell assembly includes an outer shell 17 and a bottom cover 18. The thermal insulation member 14 is supported by the bottom cover 18. The bottom cover 18 presses the thermal insulation member 14 upward on the all-glass pot body 13, and the all-glass pot body 13 is pressed on the outer shell 17.

[0044] In this embodiment, the heat insulating member 14 is sandwiched between the all-glass kettle body 13 and the bottom cover 18, that is, the heat insulating member 14 is supported by the bottom cover 18 to press against the all-glass kettle body 13, and the all-glass kettle body 13 presses against the outer shell 17, so that the entire kettle body assembly 10 is firmly assembled and has a compact structure, which is conducive to reducing the axial size of the kettle body assembly 10 and making the kettle body assembly 10 small and light.

[0045] like Figure 2As shown, the lower end of the outer shell 17 is connected to the bottom cover 18, for example, by screws. The upper end of the outer shell 17 is supported against the outer wall of the all-glass kettle body 13, so that the outer shell 17 and the bottom cover 18 clamp the all-glass kettle body 13 and the thermal insulation member 14 from top to bottom. By clamping the thermal insulation member 14, it is possible to eliminate the need for a mounting structure on the thermal insulation member 14, which helps to simplify the structure of the thermal insulation member 14.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the thermal insulation member 14 is provided with an annular concave groove and a concave air-avoiding cavity 19 located on the radial inner side of the groove. The groove and the all-glass pot body 13 enclose a thermal insulation cavity 16. The bottom cover 18 supports the bottom surface of the groove. An upper coupler 12 is provided between the bottom cover 18 and the thermal insulation member 14. The upper coupler 12 is arranged in the air-avoiding cavity 19.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface of the groove has a certain width, which ensures sufficient contact area between the bottom cover 18 and the thermal insulation 14, ensuring the support effect of the bottom cover 18 and achieving stable support for the thermal insulation 14. The space in the middle of the thermal insulation 14 is used to avoid and accommodate the upper coupler 12. Compared with arranging the upper coupler 12 below the thermal insulation 14, the axial dimension of the kettle body assembly 10 can be further reduced, promoting the miniaturization of the kettle body assembly 10. The bottom cover 18 is provided with a avoidance hole 181, through which the bottom of the upper coupler 12 is exposed to connect with the lower coupler on the power base 11.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the thermal insulation member 14 includes a first thermal insulation cover 20 of similar appearance and a second thermal insulation cover 21 disposed within the first thermal insulation cover 20. The light wave tube 15 is disposed within the second thermal insulation cover 21, and the bottom cover 18 supports the first thermal insulation cover 20. The use of a double-layer thermal insulation cover allows the heat from the light wave tube 15 to fully heat the all-glass kettle body 13 while preventing heat transfer to the shell assembly, thereby reducing the temperature of the shell assembly.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, the first heat shield 20 has an annular first groove 201, and the second heat shield 21 has an annular second groove 211. The second groove 211 accommodates the light wave tube 15 and is recessed within the first groove 201. The top of the inner sidewall of the second groove 211 is provided with a flange 212, which is attached to the inner sidewall of the first groove 201. The outer sidewall of the second groove 211 and the flange 212 abut the bottom of the all-glass pot body 13, allowing the second groove 211 and the all-glass pot body 13 to form a closed insulation cavity 16, improving the thermal insulation effect. Furthermore, the flange 212 has a certain width to increase the contact area with the all-glass pot body 13, forming a surface contact, which reduces scratches on the all-glass pot body 13 compared to line contact. Furthermore, a cavity 19 is formed radially inwardly of the first groove 201 to accommodate the upper coupler 12, improving space utilization and promoting a compact structure.

[0050] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer ring side walls of the first groove 201 and the outer ring side walls of the second groove 211 are provided with communicating notches 22 at corresponding positions for the wiring of the light wave tube 15 to pass through so as to connect the wiring to the upper coupler 12 outside the thermal insulation member 14.

[0051] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, a mounting boss 23 is provided on the bottom wall of the second groove 211 , and the light wave tube 15 is fixed on the mounting boss 23 .

[0052] The mounting bosses 23 can be used to elevate the light wave tube 15 to reduce the gap between the light wave tube 15 and the bottom of the all-glass kettle body 13, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the light wave tube 15 is supported by the mounting bosses 23, which can reduce the area of ​​direct contact between the light wave tube 15 and the bottom wall of the second heat insulation cover 21, thereby preventing the heat of the light wave tube 15 from being transferred outward through the second heat insulation cover 21 and enhancing the heat insulation effect. Multiple mounting bosses 23 are provided at intervals along the circumference, and each mounting boss 23 is provided with a socket. A retaining ring 24 can be clamped onto the light wave tube 15, and then both ends of the retaining ring 24 can be inserted into the socket to secure it. Multiple retaining rings 24 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple mounting bosses 23, ensuring that the entire light wave tube 15 is at the same height, thereby improving the uniformity of heating the all-glass kettle body 13.

[0053] In this embodiment, the light wave tube 15 is annular or C-shaped, which can be better installed in cooperation with the groove of the thermal insulation member 14 while satisfying the heating effect.

[0054] In the second embodiment, the housing assembly includes an outer shell 17 and a bottom cover 18 , the thermal insulation member 14 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 17 and is suspended relative to the bottom cover 18 .

[0055] In this embodiment, the bottom cover 18 is not required to support the thermal insulation member 14, and the distance between the thermal insulation member 14 and the bottom cover 18 can be increased to reduce heat transfer between the two, which is beneficial to lowering the temperature of the bottom cover 18, reducing the probability of thermal deformation thereof, and preventing the bottom cover 18 from being too hot and scalding the table top.

[0056] Specifically, the thermal insulation component 14 includes a bottom plate, an annular side wall extending upward from the bottom plate, and an outer flange folded outward from the top of the annular side wall. The annular side wall abuts against the all-glass pot body 13. The bottom plate, the annular side wall and the all-glass pot body 13 enclose an insulating cavity 16. The outer flange is fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 17. In one example, the outer flange is fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 17 by snapping, such as if the inner wall of the outer shell 17 is provided with a slot, and the snap-fitting can be achieved by inserting the end of the outer flange into the slot; in another example, the outer flange is fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 17 by screwing, such as if the inner wall of the outer shell 17 is provided with a mating portion extending radially inward, the outer flange is placed on the mating portion and then screwed by inserting screws.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heat insulating member 14 can adopt a bowl-shaped structure (without forming the avoidance cavity 19) so as to enclose the full glass pot body 13 to form a larger heat insulating cavity, and a light wave tube 15 with a larger heating area can be configured, such as the light wave tube 15 having a spiral structure or a plurality of connected reciprocating structures to improve the heating efficiency; and when there is a sufficient distance between the heat insulating member 14 and the bottom cover 18, the coupler 12 can be arranged using the distance; or the heat insulating member 14 can also adopt a bowl-shaped structure such as Figure 2 In the configuration shown, a groove and a cavity 19 are formed, and the cavity 19 is used to accommodate the upper coupler 12.

[0058] Based on the above embodiment, an open groove 171 is provided on one side of the shell 17, and the shell 17 is stretched and deformed through the open groove 171 to wrap the full glass pot body 13. The open groove 171 has relatively arranged protrusions 172 on both sides of the notch, and screw holes 173 are provided on the protrusions 172.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the open groove 171 runs through the top to the bottom of the outer shell 17. During installation, the all-glass pot body 13 can be inserted into the outer shell 17 from bottom to top. During the upward process of the all-glass pot body 13, the top of the outer shell 17 is pulled open by enlarging the open groove 171 so that the upper end of the all-glass pot body 13 extends out of the outer shell 17, and then the open groove 171 is tightened, and the screw hole 173 is locked with a screw to make the outer shell 17 clamp the all-glass pot body 13.

[0060] Preferably, the upper end of the all-glass pot body 13 is provided with an inwardly contracted annular groove 131, and the top edge of the shell 17 is clamped tightly in the annular groove 131 to enhance the fixing effect.

[0061] The housing 17 can be made of plastic or metal. To meet the user's visual needs, a hollow window 174 is provided on the housing 17. When the electric kettle is in operation, the user can see the interior of the all-glass kettle body 13 through the window 174, which helps to enhance the user experience. The kettle body assembly 10 also includes a handle 25, which can be fixed to the protruding buckle 172 to facilitate the user to pick up the kettle body assembly 10.

[0062] The electric kettle of the present application can be used to boil water, make tea, make drinks such as white fungus, and can meet the daily drinking needs of users.
