[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this electric kettle for use in a vehicle includes a kettle body 1 and a kettle base 2. The kettle body 1 is mounted on the kettle base 2. By injecting liquid to be heated into the kettle body 1, the weight of the kettle body 1 increases, causing the first elastic element 3 and the second elastic element 4 to deform under force, thus establishing an electrical connection between the kettle body 1 and the kettle base 2. The liquid inside the kettle body 1 can only be heated by turning on the switch, improving the safe operation of the electric kettle.

[0023] The pot body 1 is provided with a pot lid 5, and the bottom of the pot body 1 is provided with a positioning groove 6. The positioning groove 6 is used for positioning the pot body 1 and the pot base 2, and also for maintaining the electrical connection between the pot body 1 and the pot base 2.

[0024] The kettle body 1 is mounted on the kettle base 2. The kettle base 2 contains a movable component 7 and a base plate 8. The movable component 7 is located at the upper end of the base 9. Symmetrically arranged contact components 10 are provided between the movable component 7 and the base plate 8. The movable component 7 consists of a movable plate 11 and a positioning protrusion 12, which mates with a positioning groove 6. The kettle base 2 has a through hole 121 for the positioning protrusion 12 in the middle. The positioning protrusion 12 contains a first ring, a second ring, and a column. The positioning groove 6 has a first groove mates with the first ring, a second groove mates with the second ring, and a column hole mates with the column. Its electrical connection method is consistent with existing technology.

[0025] The depth of the positioning groove 6 is less than the height of the positioning protrusion 12, so that when the pot body 1 is placed on the pot seat 2, the positioning groove 6 can push the positioning protrusion 12, thereby enabling the pot body 1 to apply pressure to the positioning protrusion 12, keeping the positioning protrusion 12 moving a certain distance into the pot seat 2, so that the first elastic element 3 and the second elastic element 4 deform, keeping the first conductive element 13 and the second conductive element 14 in contact.

[0026] The base plate 8 is provided with a positioning post 15, and a second elastic element 4 is fitted on the positioning post 15. The upper end of the second elastic element 4 is in contact with the movable element 7.

[0027] The contact assembly 10 includes a first elastic element 3, a first conductive element 13, a second conductive element 14, a fixing plate 15, and a fixing seat 16. The fixing plate 15 is mounted on the base plate 8, and the second conductive element 14 is mounted on the fixing seat 16. The fixing plate 15 is mounted on the second conductive element 14, and the fixing plate 15 and the second conductive element 14 are connected to the fixing seat 16 by a second bolt 17. The first conductive element 13 is located at the lower end of the first elastic element 3, and the first conductive element 13 and the first elastic element 3 are connected to the movable plate 11 by a first bolt 18. The first elastic element 3 is in contact with the second conductive element 14, and a contact area 19 is formed between the first conductive element 13 and the second conductive element 14.

[0028] The first elastic element 3 consists of a first mounting section 20, a second mounting section 21, and an elastic section 22 for connecting the first mounting section 20 and the second mounting section 21. An elastic space 23 is formed in the middle of the elastic section 22, and the elastic section 22 is in contact with the second conductive element 14.

[0029] The first conductive element 13 consists of a first mounting body 24 and a first contact body 25, with the first contact body 25 having a first contact arc surface 26. The second conductive element 14 consists of a second mounting body 27 and a second contact body 28. The first mounting body 24 is mounted on the fixed base 16, and the second contact body 28 contacts the first elastic element 3, forming a deformation region 29 between the second mounting body 27 and the second contact body 28. The fixed plate 15 is disposed within the deformation region 29, and the second contact body 28 has a second contact arc surface 30 that mates with the first contact arc surface 26. The second contact body 28 can deform under force, thereby making contact between the second contact body 28 and the first contact body 25.

[0030] After a certain weight of liquid is placed inside the kettle body 1, its weight can be used to apply pressure to the first elastic element 3 and the second elastic element 4, causing them to deform. The first conductive element 13 and the second conductive element 14 come into contact, maintaining an electrical connection between the kettle body 1 and the kettle base 2, thus improving the safety of the electric kettle.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
