[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a voice-controlled smart electric kettle includes a kettle body 1, a handle 2 installed on the side of the kettle body 1, a side cover 3 installed on the outside of the handle 2, a mounting cavity 4 formed between the lower end of the side cover 3 and the handle 2, a microphone 5 and a speaker 6 respectively installed in the mounting cavity 4, a through hole 7 and a through hole 8 respectively opened in the side cover 3, a base 9 installed at the bottom of the kettle body 1, a mounting cavity 10 formed between the base 9 and the kettle body 1, a voice control circuit board 11 and a power circuit board 12 respectively installed in the mounting cavity 10.

[0026] In existing technology, sound first needs to pass through the handle and the cavity inside the handle before being received by the microphone. During this process, because sound travels through different media, the sound received by the microphone will be weakened or interfered with, resulting in insensitive voice control. However, this utility model places the microphone 5 and the speaker 6 between the handle and the side cover, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly. Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the side cover 3, and the microphone and speaker are placed directly on the end face of the side cover 3 facing the through hole, so that external sound can directly enter the microphone through the through hole. Its sound reception is more sensitive and clear, and the usage effect is better.

[0027] A touch screen and a main control MCU module are also installed on the side wall of the kettle. The main control MCU module is connected to a Bluetooth communication module, which can be connected to a mobile APP to realize intelligent control. The main control MCU module is connected to the voice control circuit board 11 and the power circuit board 12 respectively to facilitate intelligent control.

[0028] The upper surface of the side cover 3 is respectively formed with a recess 13 and a recess 14. A through hole 7 is provided in the recess 13, and the microphone 5 is provided on the end face of the recess 13. A through hole 8 is provided in the recess 14, and the speaker 6 is provided on the end face of the recess 14, so that the microphone 5 and the speaker 6 can be completely fitted together with the side cover 3, reducing assembly gaps and initially limiting their displacement.

[0029] The mounting cavity 14 has a mounting plate 17 formed inside. The mounting plate 17 has a second slot 18 for mounting the speaker 6. The mounting plate 17 has a first slot 19 for mounting the microphone 5 on one side. The microphone 5 and the speaker 6 are mounted on the mounting plate 17 through the slots. This mounting structure is simple, easy to assemble and disassemble, and does not require additional fasteners for fixing.

[0030] The mounting cavity 20 is provided with a fixing seat 20, and the fixing seat 20 is respectively formed with fixing part 21 and fixing part 22 for mounting the circuit board.

[0031] The upper end of the fixed base 20 is provided with a connecting base 23, and the end of the connecting base 23 is provided with a buckle 24. The side wall of the mounting cavity 4 is provided with a buckle hole 25 for the buckle 24 to be engaged.

[0032] The lower end of the connector 23 has a wire hole 26, and the side wall of the mounting cavity 4 has a wire hole 27, so that the wires of the microphone 5 and the speaker 6 can be connected to the circuit board inside the mounting cavity 10 through the wire holes.

[0033] The connecting seat 23 has a mounting post 28 formed inside, and a fastening hole 29 is provided inside the mounting post 28. A fastening hole 30 is provided on the side wall of the mounting cavity 4. In the actual installation process, the fixing seat 20 is first inserted into the buckle hole 25 through the buckle 24 to achieve a preliminary connection with the kettle body 1, and then the fastener is screwed into the fastening hole to achieve its final fixed installation.
