Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettle technology, specifically to a kettle base assembly and an electric kettle. Background Technology

[0002] Among related technologies are electric kettles that can automatically add water based on the amount of water remaining in the kettle. The kettle's base has a weighing component that automatically adds water when the water level reaches a set low level and automatically stops adding water when the water level reaches a set high level. This type of kettle, which uses weighing for automatic water addition, requires high precision in its weighing component. Because the base connects to the water inlet pipe and power cord, external pulling on these components—for example, pulling them upwards—reduces the stress on the base, while pulling them downwards increases the stress. This affects the accuracy of the weighing component and consequently, the determination of the water level in the kettle.

[0003] In addition, the kettle base assembly in the related technology has a heating element inside. When the temperature of the heating element is too high, it can easily cause electrical hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a kettle base assembly and an electric kettle to solve the problems that pulling the water pipe and power cord will affect the measurement accuracy of the weighing component and that the heating component temperature is prone to overheating.

[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a kettle stand assembly, comprising:

[0006] The bottom shell is equipped with a water inlet pipe and a power cord.

[0007] The supporting structure is equipped with heating elements.

[0008] The base is fixedly connected to the supporting structure, and the base is floatingly mounted on the bottom shell;

[0009] A weighing assembly includes a fixed part and a deformable part, wherein the fixed part is fixed to one of the base and the bottom shell, and the deformable part is fixed to the other of the base and the bottom shell;

[0010] A fan is disposed on one of the base and the bottom shell.

[0011] Beneficial effects: In practical use, the kettle is placed in the support structure. Since the base is fixedly connected to the support structure, it can float on the bottom shell. The fixed part is fixed to one of the base and the bottom shell, and the deformable part is fixed to the other. When the water level in the kettle changes, the relative deformation between the deformable part and the fixed part changes. The addition or cessation of water addition can be determined based on the deformation of the weighing component. Because the weighing component is installed in the base, and the water inlet pipe and power cord are fixed to the bottom shell, even external pulling on the power cord and water inlet pipe will not affect the weighing of the component, thus improving the measurement accuracy. Furthermore, placing the fan in one of the base and the bottom shell allows for heat dissipation and cooling of the heating component, preventing overheating and making the entire kettle base assembly safer.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the base is provided with a fan mounting position and a weighing component mounting position, wherein the fan is mounted in the fan mounting position and the weighing component is mounted in the weighing component mounting position.

[0013] Beneficial effects: By mounting both the weighing components and the fan on the base, the space on the base can be fully utilized.

[0014] In one alternative embodiment, the base includes an annular body, and the weighing component mounting position protrudes from the annular body.

[0015] Beneficial effect: Since the weighing component mounting position protrudes upward from the base to a certain height, the fan mounting position can be set up using the space in this height direction, without the need to increase the height of the base.

[0016] In one optional embodiment, the weighing component mounting position includes a top fixing plate and a side fixing plate connected between the edge of the top fixing plate and the annular body. The annular body is hollowed out at a position opposite to the top fixing plate. The deformable part is fixed to the top fixing plate, and the fixing part surrounds the outside of the top fixing plate.

[0017] Beneficial effects: By hollowing out the annular body at the position opposite to the top fixed plate, the deformable part is fixed to the top fixed plate, and the fixed part surrounds the outside of the top fixed plate. When the weight of the pot changes, the deformable part and the fixed part can deform relative to each other.

[0018] In one optional embodiment, the top fixing plate is provided with a first connecting hole, and the deformable part is provided with a second connecting hole, wherein the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are connected by screws.

[0019] Beneficial effect: By providing a first connecting hole on the top fixing plate and a second connecting hole on the deformable part, the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are connected by screws, which facilitates the fixing of the deformable part.

[0020] In one alternative implementation, the fan is snapped into a fan mounting position.

[0021] Beneficial effect: If the fan is fixed to the base with screws, the screw posts will also have a certain height, which will increase the height of the base. Therefore, by snapping the fan into the fan mounting position, there is no need to increase the height of the base, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the kettle base assembly.

[0022] In one optional embodiment, the fan mounting position includes a bottom support plate, a first fixing plate, a second fixing plate, and a third fixing plate protruding from the bottom support plate and connected in sequence. The first fixing plate, the second fixing plate, and the third fixing plate are connected in a U-shape. The top of the first fixing plate, the second fixing plate, and the third fixing plate are provided with fixing buckles. The bottom support plate has an arc-shaped notch. The fan housing is fixed to the bottom support plate and snapped onto the lower side of the fixing buckle. The fan blades are located in the arc-shaped notch.

[0023] Beneficial effects: The tops of the first, second, and third fixing plates are equipped with fixing buckles, and the bottom support plate has an arc-shaped notch. The fan housing is fixed to the bottom support plate and snapped into the underside of the fixing buckle. The fan blades are located in the arc-shaped notch. After the fan is fixed, it will not increase the height of the base, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the kettle base assembly. Furthermore, the fan is simple and convenient to install, which can improve assembly efficiency.

[0024] In one optional embodiment, the support structure includes a fixed frame and a support ring, the support ring being disposed within the fixed frame, the heating element being fixed between the fixed frame and the support ring, the bottom of the fixed frame having an air inlet, and the side of the fixed frame having an air outlet.

[0025] Beneficial effects: When the fan is working, air can enter from the air inlet at the bottom of the mounting bracket, cool the heating element, and then blow it out from the air outlet, preventing the heating element from overheating and thus making the entire kettle base assembly safer.

[0026] In one optional embodiment, the fixing frame includes a first top outer edge, the support ring includes a second top outer edge, the second top outer edge is located above the first top outer edge, a first screw post is provided on the lower side of the second top outer edge, and a first fixing hole is provided on the first top outer edge, the first fixing hole and the first screw post are connected by a screw.

[0027] Beneficial effect: The second top outer edge is located above the first top outer edge, and the second top outer edge is fixedly connected to the first top outer edge, which can make the peripheral wall of the fixing frame and the peripheral wall of the support ring as close as possible, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire kettle seat assembly.

[0028] In one alternative embodiment, a second screw post is provided on the lower side of the second top outer edge, and a third screw post is provided on the base, wherein the second screw post and the third screw post are connected by screws.

[0029] Beneficial effects: A second screw post is provided on the lower side of the second top outer edge, and a third screw post is provided on the base. The second screw post and the third screw post are connected by screws. There are no screw holes on the upper surface of the second top outer edge, resulting in a neat and beautiful appearance.

[0030] Secondly, this utility model also provides an electric kettle, comprising:

[0031] The aforementioned kettle base assembly.

[0032] Beneficial effects: In practical use, the kettle is placed in the support structure. Since the base is fixedly connected to the support structure, it can float on the bottom shell. The fixed part is fixed to one of the base and the bottom shell, and the deformable part is fixed to the other. When the water level in the kettle changes, the relative deformation between the deformable part and the fixed part changes. The addition or cessation of water addition can be determined based on the deformation of the weighing component. Because the weighing component is installed in the base, and the water inlet pipe and power cord are fixed to the bottom shell, even external pulling on the power cord and water inlet pipe will not affect the weighing of the component, thus improving the measurement accuracy. Furthermore, placing the fan in one of the base and the bottom shell allows for heat dissipation and cooling of the heating component, preventing overheating and making the entire kettle base assembly safer.

[0050] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] Among related technologies are electric kettles that can automatically add water based on the amount of water remaining in the kettle. The kettle's base has a weighing component that automatically adds water when the water level reaches a set low level and automatically stops adding water when the water level reaches a set high level. This type of kettle, which uses weighing for automatic water addition, requires high precision in its weighing component. Because the base connects to the water inlet pipe and power cord, external pulling on these components—for example, pulling them upwards—reduces the stress on the base, while pulling them downwards increases the stress. This affects the accuracy of the weighing component and consequently, the determination of the water level in the kettle.

[0052] In addition, the kettle base assembly in the related technology has a heating element inside. When the temperature of the heating element is too high, it can easily cause electrical hazards.

[0053] The following combination Figures 1 to 14 , describing the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, a kettle stand assembly is provided, including a bottom shell, a support structure, a base 8, and a weighing component 13.

[0055] The bottom shell is fixed with a water inlet pipe and a power cord; the support structure is equipped with a heating element; the base 8 is fixedly connected to the support structure and is buoyantly mounted on the bottom shell; the weighing component 13 includes a fixing part 1302 and a deformation part 1301, the fixing part 1302 is fixed to one of the base 8 and the bottom shell, and the deformation part 1301 is fixed to the other of the base 8 and the bottom shell; the fan 11 is disposed on one of the base 8 and the bottom shell.

[0056] In this embodiment, during use, the kettle 2 is placed in the support structure. Since the base 8 is fixedly connected to the support structure, it can float on the bottom shell. The fixing part 1302 is fixed to one of the base 8 and the bottom shell, and the deformation part 1301 is fixed to the other. When the water level in the kettle body 201 changes, the relative deformation between the deformation part 1301 and the fixing part 1302 changes. The addition or cessation of water addition can be determined based on the deformation of the weighing component 13. Because the weighing component 13 is installed on the base 8, and the water inlet pipe and power cord are fixed to the bottom shell, even external pulling on the power cord and water inlet pipe will not affect the weighing of the weighing component 13, thus improving the measurement accuracy of the weighing component 13. Furthermore, the fan 11 is placed on one of the base 8 and the bottom shell. The fan 11 can dissipate heat and cool the heating component 3, preventing it from overheating and making the entire kettle base assembly safer.

[0057] In one embodiment, Figure 12 As shown, the base 8 is provided with a fan mounting position 804 and a weighing component mounting position 803. The fan 11 is mounted in the fan mounting position 804, and the weighing component 13 is mounted in the weighing component mounting position 803.

[0058] In this embodiment, by mounting both the weighing component 13 and the fan 11 on the base 8, the space on the base 8 can be fully utilized.

[0059] In one embodiment, the base 8 includes an annular body 802, and a weighing component mounting position 803 protrudes from the annular body 802.

[0060] In this embodiment, since the weighing component mounting position 803 protrudes upward from the base 8 to a certain height, the fan mounting position 804 is set up using the space in this height direction, without the need to further increase the height of the base 8.

[0061] In one embodiment, the weighing component mounting position 803 includes a top fixing plate 8031 ​​and a side fixing plate 8032 connected between the edge of the top fixing plate 8031 ​​and the annular body 802. The annular body 802 is hollowed out at a position opposite to the top fixing plate 8031. The deformable part 1301 is fixed to the top fixing plate 8031, and the fixing part 1302 surrounds the outside of the top fixing plate 8031.

[0062] In this embodiment, by hollowing out the annular body 802 at a position opposite to the top fixing plate 8031, the deformable part 1301 is fixed to the top fixing plate 8031, and the fixing part 1302 surrounds the outside of the top fixing plate 8031. When the weight of the pot body 201 changes, the deformable part 1301 and the fixing part 1302 can deform relative to each other.

[0063] In one specific embodiment, the deformable part 1301 is fixedly connected to the bottom shell via a bracket, and the fixed part 1302 abuts against the outer shell 9 or the fixed frame 5. When water is added to the kettle body 201, the weight increases, causing the support structure, the outer shell 9 and the fixed part 1302 to move downward together, while the deformable part 1301 remains stationary, thereby causing the deformable part 1301 and the fixed part 1302 to deform relative to each other for weighing.

[0064] In one embodiment, the top fixing plate 8031 ​​is provided with a first connecting hole 80311, and the deformable part 1301 is provided with a second connecting hole 13011. The first connecting hole 80311 and the second connecting hole 13011 are connected by screws.

[0065] In this embodiment, a first connecting hole 80311 is provided on the top fixing plate 8031, and a second connecting hole 13011 is provided on the deformable part 1301. The first connecting hole 80311 and the second connecting hole 13011 are connected by screws, which facilitates the fixing of the deformable part 1301.

[0066] Specifically in one embodiment, such as Figure 12 As shown, four weighing component mounting positions 803 are evenly distributed on the base 8, and one weighing component 13 is installed in each weighing component mounting position 803, so that the weighing component 13 can be evenly stressed.

[0067] In one embodiment, fan 11 is snapped into fan mounting position 804.

[0068] In this embodiment, if the fan 11 is fixed to the base 8 with screws, the screw post will also have a certain height, which will increase the height of the base 8. Therefore, the fan 11 can be snapped into the fan mounting position 804 without increasing the height of the base 8, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the kettle seat assembly.

[0069] In one embodiment, the fan mounting position 804 includes a bottom support plate 8041, a first fixing plate 8042, a second fixing plate 8043, and a third fixing plate 8044 protruding from the bottom support plate 8041 and connected in sequence. The first fixing plate 8042, the second fixing plate 8043, and the third fixing plate 8044 are connected in a U-shape. The top of the first fixing plate 8042, the second fixing plate 8043, and the third fixing plate 8044 is provided with a fixing buckle 8045. The bottom support plate 8041 has an arc-shaped notch. The housing of the fan 11 is fixed to the bottom support plate 8041 and snapped into the lower side of the fixing buckle 8045. The fan blades of the fan 11 are located in the arc-shaped notch.

[0070] In this embodiment, the top of the first fixing plate 8042, the second fixing plate 8043, and the third fixing plate 8044 are provided with fixing buckles 8045, and the bottom support plate 8041 has an arc-shaped notch. The housing of the fan 11 is fixed to the bottom support plate 8041 and snapped into the lower side of the fixing buckle 8045. The fan blades of the fan 11 are located in the arc-shaped notch. After the fan 11 is fixed, it will not increase the height of the base 8, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the kettle seat assembly. Furthermore, the installation of the fan 11 is simple and convenient, which can improve assembly efficiency.

[0071] In one embodiment, the support structure has a placement cavity 1 suitable for placing the kettle body 201 inside, and the support structure has a notch suitable for the spout 202 to extend out; the kettle seat assembly also includes a shell structure, which is located on the outside of the support frame, and the shell structure has an opening corresponding to the notch.

[0072] In this embodiment, a placement cavity 1 is provided inside the support structure. The support structure has a notch, and the shell structure has an opening corresponding to the notch. The kettle body 201 can be placed in the placement cavity 1, and the spout 202 is confined within the notch and the opening. This kettle seat assembly can limit the position of the kettle 2. The size of the placement cavity 1 is only enough to accommodate the kettle body 201 shell. Therefore, the entire kettle seat assembly is small in volume and occupies little space.

[0073] In addition, the housing structure makes the kettle stand assembly aesthetically pleasing.

[0074] In one embodiment, a heating component 3 is installed inside the support structure, and a microcrystalline plate 4 is fixed to the top of the heating component 3.

[0075] In this embodiment, a heating component 3 is installed inside the support structure. A microcrystalline plate 4 is set on the top of the heating component 3. The surface of the microcrystalline plate 4 is flat and can contact the surface of the kettle body 201 to heat the kettle body 201 evenly.

[0076] In one embodiment, the support structure includes a fixing frame 5 and a support ring 6, with the support ring 6 disposed inside the fixing frame 5, and the fixing frame 5 and the support ring 6 clamping the heating component 3 and the microcrystalline plate 4 in the middle.

[0077] In this embodiment, the fixing frame 5 and the support ring 6 clamp the heating component 3 and the microcrystalline plate 4 in the middle, making the installation of the microcrystalline plate 4 simple and convenient, without the need to drill holes in the microcrystalline plate 4, which can improve assembly efficiency.

[0078] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the heating component 3 can be fixed to the support structure by adhesive bonding.

[0079] Specifically in one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the support ring 6 has a first notch 601, and the fixing frame 5 has a second notch 501. The position of the second notch 501 corresponds to the first notch 601, and the second notch 501 and the first notch 601 together form a notch.

[0080] Specifically in one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first notch 601 is U-shaped and extends downward from the second top edge.

[0081] In one embodiment, the bottom of the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a support member, and the heating component 3 is supported on the support member.

[0082] In this embodiment, by providing a support member at the bottom of the mounting bracket 5, the heating component 3 is supported on the support member. The heating component 3 does not need to be fixed to the mounting bracket 5 with screws, which improves assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the gap between the heating component 3 and the bottom of the mounting bracket 5 facilitates heat dissipation from the heating component 3.

[0083] In one embodiment, the support includes a plurality of support ribs 502 spaced apart along the bottom wall edge of the fixing frame 5.

[0084] In this embodiment, the heating component 3 is supported by multiple support ribs 502, resulting in a simple structure, low cost, and ease of manufacturing. The heating component 3 does not need to be fixed to the mounting bracket 5 with screws, improving assembly efficiency. The multiple support ribs 502 are spaced apart along the bottom edge of the mounting bracket 5, which facilitates heat dissipation around the heating component 3.

[0085] Specifically in one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the support rib 502 is L-shaped and has a horizontal support part 5021 and an inclined limiting part 5022. The horizontal support part 5021 supports the heating component 3, and the inclined limiting part 5022 limits the heating component 3 in the circumferential direction.

[0086] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the support member may be a ring-shaped support platform.

[0087] In one embodiment, the fixing frame 5 is further provided with a first buckle 503, which is snapped onto the upper side of the microcrystalline plate 4.

[0088] In this embodiment, by providing a first buckle 503 on the inner side of the fixing frame 5, the first buckle 503 is snapped onto the upper side of the microcrystalline plate 4, and the support member is supported on the lower side of the heating component 3. The first buckle 503 and the support member cooperate to pre-fix the heating component 3 and the microcrystalline plate 4, which can improve the assembly efficiency.

[0089] Specifically, during installation, the heating component 3 and the microcrystalline plate 4 are installed as a single unit into the fixing frame 5 from top to bottom. After passing the first buckle 503 on the inner side of the fixing frame 5, the heating component 3 is supported by the support member. The first buckle 503 can prevent the heating component 3 from moving upward. The first buckle 503 and the support member cooperate to pre-fix the heating component 3 and the microcrystalline plate 4.

[0090] In one specific embodiment, the first buckle 503 has a certain degree of elasticity.

[0091] Specifically in one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a mounting hole 504. One end of the first buckle 503 is connected to the top wall of the mounting hole 504, and the other end is suspended. When installing the heating component 3 and the microcrystalline plate 4, the heating component 3 retracts the first buckle 503 as it passes it. After the heating component 3 passes the first buckle 503, the first buckle 503 returns to its original state, which can prevent the heating component 3 from moving upward.

[0092] It should be noted that there can be one or more first clips 503.

[0093] In one embodiment, the support ring 6 and the microcrystalline plate 4 are sealed together by a sealing ring 7.

[0094] In this embodiment, since the support ring 6 and the microcrystalline plate 4 are sealed together by the sealing ring 7, water can be prevented from entering the heating assembly 3 and the electrical components below the fixing frame 5 through the gap between the support ring 6 and the microcrystalline plate 4.

[0095] In one embodiment, the bottom of the support ring 6 is provided with a groove 602, and a portion of the sealing ring 7 is embedded in the groove 602.

[0096] In this embodiment, by providing a groove 602 at the bottom of the support ring 6, a portion of the sealing ring 7 is embedded in the groove 602, which facilitates the fixed installation of the sealing ring 7. Furthermore, the portion of the sealing ring 7 extends out of the groove 602, which ensures a sealed connection between the support ring 6 and the microcrystalline plate 4.

[0097] In one embodiment, the sealing ring 7 has an inverted T-shaped cross section. The sealing ring 7 includes an annular body portion 701 and a first annular rib 702 protruding from the annular body portion 701. The first annular rib 702 is embedded in the groove 602. The annular body portion 701 is located between the support ring 6 and the microcrystalline plate 4.

[0098] In this embodiment, the first annular rib 702 is embedded in the groove 602, and the annular main body 701 is located between the support ring 6 and the microcrystalline plate 4. The width of the annular main body 701 is greater than the width of the first annular rib 702, which can further ensure the sealed connection between the support ring 6 and the microcrystalline plate 4.

[0099] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the width of the portion of the sealing ring 7 that is embedded in the groove 602 and the width of the portion that extends out of the groove 602 are equal.

[0100] In one embodiment, the annular body portion 701 is provided with at least two second annular ribs 703 on the side facing the microcrystalline plate 4.

[0101] In this embodiment, the annular main body 701 is provided with at least two second annular ribs 703 on the side facing the microcrystalline plate 4. After the support ring 6 is installed in place, the sealing ring 7 is squeezed to deform the second annular ribs 703, which can effectively achieve a sealed connection between the support ring 6 and the microcrystalline plate 4.

[0102] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the annular main body 701 may not be provided with the second annular rib 703.

[0103] In one specific embodiment, the annular main body 701 is provided with two second annular ribs 703 on the side facing the microcrystalline plate 4.

[0104] In one embodiment, the support structure includes a fixed frame 5 and a support ring 6. The support ring 6 is disposed inside the fixed frame 5.

[0142] In this embodiment, by fixing the power cord and water inlet pipe to the base plate 12 and the weighing component 13 to the bottom shell, the weighing of the weighing component 13 will not be affected even if the power cord and water inlet pipe are pulled by the outside, thus making the measurement accuracy of the weighing component 13 higher.

[0143] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides an electric kettle 2, including: the kettle base assembly provided in the above embodiment.

[0144] The electric kettle 2 has a placement cavity 1 inside its support structure. The support structure has a notch, and the shell structure has an opening corresponding to the notch. The kettle body 201 can be placed in the placement cavity 1, and the spout 202 is confined within the notch and the opening. The kettle base assembly of the electric kettle 2 can limit the position of the kettle 2. The size of the placement cavity 1 is only enough to accommodate the kettle body 201 shell, so the overall volume of the electric kettle 2 is small and occupies little space.

[0145] In practical use, the kettle 2 is placed in the support structure. Since the base 8 is fixedly connected to the support structure, it can float on the bottom shell. The fixing part 1302 is fixed to one of the base 8 and the bottom shell, and the deformation part 1301 is fixed to the other. When the water level in the kettle body 201 changes, the relative deformation between the deformation part 1301 and the fixing part 1302 changes. The deformation of the weighing component 13 can be used to determine whether to add or stop adding water. Because the weighing component 13 is installed on the base 8, and the water inlet pipe and power cord are fixed to the bottom shell, even if the power cord and water inlet pipe are pulled externally, it will not affect the weighing of the weighing component 13, thus improving the measurement accuracy of the weighing component 13. Furthermore, the fan 11 is placed on one of the base 8 and the bottom shell. The fan 11 can dissipate heat and cool the heating component 3, preventing it from overheating and making the entire kettle base assembly safer.
