[0002] Electric kettles have been very popular in daily life, and with the continuous expansion of people's demand, folding electric kettles have attracted more attention because of their convenient storage and convenient carrying out.

[0003] One kind of folding electric kettle base can be separated from the kettle body, and the user can remove the base and put it into the kettle body through the opening at the top of the kettle body for storage when not in use, which not only reduces the storage space but also facilitates the user to carry it out. For example, the existing patents CN201921182392.2 and CN202021127765.9 both disclose such a storable electric kettle, which can save storage space and provide convenient storage.

[0004] The above-mentioned folding electric kettle power cord includes two types. One is that the power cord is separable from the base, and the power cord is plugged in for use and removed for storage when not in use, which is relatively cumbersome to operate. The other type of power cord is connected to the base and cannot be detached, with one end of the power cord extending from the side of the base. When the base is stored in the kettle body, the power cord can also be wound in the cavity of the kettle body. However, when the base needs to be taken out, the user needs to lift the power cord and then pull it out by pulling the power cord. Under the premise that the inner diameter of the kettle body and the outer diameter of the base are close (usually the sizes of the two structures are designed to be close to avoid the problem of head-heavy foot-light caused by the kettle body being too large and the base being too small), since the power cord extends from the side of the base, the power cord will inevitably come into contact with the inner wall of the kettle body when the user pulls the power cord, which will easily scratch the power cord against the inner wall of the kettle body, affecting the quality of the kettle body and possibly causing the power cord to be stuck between the base and the inner wall of the kettle body, making it difficult to pull out, reducing the convenience and efficiency of taking out the base.

[0014] The base includes an upper cover and a lower cover, the upper cover and the lower cover cooperatively form an installation cavity for installing a lower connector, and the power cord is electrically connected with the lower connector.

[0015] The lower cover is provided with the wire groove, and the wire groove is formed by recessing the bottom wall and the side wall of the lower cover.

[0016] The height of the part of the wire groove on the side wall of the base is not greater than 1 / 3 of the height of the base.

[0017] Due to the above technical scheme, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. Prior art folding electric kettle, the base is placed in the containing cavity of the kettle body from the top opening of the kettle body when the base is stored, and the base needs to be taken out when in use. Since the power cord is stretched out from the side of the base, there is always a section of the power cord between the side wall of the base and the inner wall of the kettle body when the user pulls the power cord. Under the premise that the outer diameter of the base and the inner diameter of the kettle body are close to each other, the gap between the side wall of the base and the inner wall of the kettle body is small, and the section of the power cord in the gap is very easy to touch the inner wall of the kettle body. That is, during the process of the user pulling the power cord to pull out the base, the power cord is easy to rub against the inner wall of the kettle body. Frequent rubbing can cause scratches on the inner wall of the kettle body, affecting the quality of the kettle body. If the power cord is stuck between the side wall of the base and the inner wall of the kettle body, it will be difficult to take out the base, which is not user-friendly. In order to solve the above problems, the power cord can be rotated to move away from the side wall of the base in the state of taking out the base. In this way, the gap between the power cord and the inner wall of the containing cavity is larger than the gap between the side wall of the base and the inner wall of the containing cavity. The power cord is away from the inner wall of the kettle body and thus will not come into contact with the inner wall of the kettle body. By providing such conditions, the power cord does not come into contact with the inner wall of the kettle body during the process of the user pulling the power cord, which is beneficial to the base being pulled out quickly and ensures that the base is smoothly taken out. Moreover, in the case that the base does not come into contact with the inner wall of the kettle body 10, the user can pull out the base with less force, reducing the user's burden and improving the user's experience.

[0019] Further, the wire slot of the present application is arranged through the side wall and bottom wall of the base, so that the power cord can be stretched out from the side wall of the base along the wire slot in the working state. In this way, when the base is placed on the workbench, the power cord will not lift the base, so that the overall stability of the electric kettle can be ensured, and the use reliability is improved. After use, the base and the power cord can be stored in the containing cavity of the kettle body, so that the overall volume of the machine is reduced, the storage space is reduced, and it is convenient for the user to carry out. Further, the wire slot of the present application is arranged through the side wall and bottom wall of the base, so that the power cord can be stretched out from the side wall of the base along the wire slot in the working state. In this way, when the base is placed on the workbench, the power cord will not lift the base, so that the overall stability of the electric kettle can be ensured, and the use reliability is improved. After use, the base and the power cord can be stored in the containing cavity of the kettle body, so that the overall volume of the machine is reduced, the storage space is reduced, and it is convenient for the user to carry out.

[0020] 2. After the power cord is vertically lifted, the power cord can be rotated to above the wire outlet hole. At this time, pulling the power cord can pull out the base. It can be understood that when the pulling force and the center of gravity of the base are on the same vertical line, the process of pulling out the base can make the base more stable, reduce the probability of shaking the base, and avoid the possibility of the base shaking and hitting surrounding objects or people. In order to solve the problem of shaking during the process of taking out the base, the wire outlet hole can be arranged at the center of the bottom wall. In this way, when the power cord is rotated above the wire outlet hole, the pulling force can be evenly distributed on the base when the pulling force is applied to the power cord, so that the base can be pulled out stably and the possibility of shaking the base can be reduced.

[0021] 3. Since the power cord needs to be bent at a certain angle from the outlet hole to extend horizontally, in order to ensure that the power cord does not lift the base in the working state, and to ensure that the base is stably placed on the workbench, the power cord needs to be accommodated in the wire slot to avoid the power cord from bulging out of the opening of the wire slot and lifting the base. When the outlet hole is arranged at the center of the bottom wall, the power cord extends radially outward from the center of the bottom wall. When the depth of the wire slot decreases along the radial direction, the position of the wire slot close to the outlet hole has sufficient depth to accommodate the bent power cord, thereby preventing the power cord from bulging out of the wire slot and lifting the base.

[0022] 4. In order to improve the stability of the base in the working state, the depth of the wire slot close to the outlet hole is not less than 1.2 times the diameter of the power cord. Since the power cord needs to be bent into the wire slot after extending from the outlet hole to extend horizontally, in order to ensure that the bent power cord is in the wire slot, the depth of the wire slot close to the outlet hole needs to be appropriately large, so that the bent power cord can be completely embedded in the wire slot, preventing the power cord from bulging out of the wire slot and lifting the base, affecting the working stability of the base.

[0023] 5. When the power cord is arranged along the wire slot, in order to avoid the power cord from falling out of the wire slot and causing the base to be lifted, a protruding rib is arranged on the opposite groove walls of the wire slot, and the power cord is clamped between the protruding ribs, that is, the power cord is limited by the protruding ribs to improve the arrangement stability. At the same time, the power cord contacts the protruding ribs with a small contact area, avoiding direct friction between the power cord and the inner wall of the wire slot, which can reduce the wear of the power cord.

[0024] 6. The wire slot needs to provide space to accommodate the power cord. Preferably, the wire slot is formed by recessing the bottom wall of the base. By clamping the power cord into the recessed space, the power cord can be prevented from bulging out of the wire slot and lifting the base, affecting the working stability of the base.

[0025] 7. In order to prevent the power cord from being stacked too high and easily lifting the lid or causing the lid to be unable to be closed, a plug is arranged on the power cord, and a plug slot corresponding to the plug is arranged on the bottom wall of the base. The plug is inserted into the plug slot for storage. By inserting and fixing the plug for storage, the plug can be prevented from being scattered at a high position above the base, which can easily lift the lid or cause the lid to be unable to be closed, ensuring the storage efficiency and effect.

[0026] 8. When the base adopts a split upper cover and lower cover for cooperation, it is convenient for the installation and maintenance of the internal lower connector. When the lower connector fails, only the lower connector needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire base, which is beneficial to save costs.

[0027] 9. The wire slot is located on the part of the side wall of the base height is not more than 1 / 3 of the base height, can ensure that the power cord can be pulled out laterally, ensure the base stable, also can avoid the opening of the side wall is too large and affect the appearance, easy to enter the mosquito and affect the internal cleaning.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1 to 10 The utility model provides an electric kettle, including the body assembly and with the base assembly of body assembly detachable connection, the body assembly includes the kettle body 10 and is located at the kettle cover of kettle body 10 top opening, the base assembly includes the base 11 and with the power cord 12 of base 11 connection, the base 11 is set up and passes through the wire groove 13 of the side wall 112 and bottom wall 111 of base 11, the bottom wall 111 is equipped with the wire hole 14 in wire groove 13, the power cord 12 is stretched from wire hole 14 and is accommodated in wire groove 13, the power cord 12 is stretched along wire groove 13 from the side wall 112 of base 11 under the working condition of the connection of base 11 on kettle body 10, to make the base 11 stable and place on the workbench, the base 11 is inverted and is placed in the storage state of the containing cavity 101 of kettle body 10, the power cord 12 is stored between containing cavity 101 and base 11 and kettle cover, the power cord 12 is vertically lifted under the state of the base 11 from containing cavity 101, the power cord 12 is rotated along wire groove 13 to make the power cord 12 stretch from the bottom wall 111 of base 11, the gap between the power cord 12 and the inner wall of containing cavity 101 is greater than the gap between the side wall 112 of base 11 and the inner wall of containing cavity 101.

[0049] The prior art folding electric kettle, when the base is stored, the base is placed into the containing cavity of the kettle body from the opening at the top of the kettle body, and the base needs to be taken out when used. Since the power cord extends from the side of the base, when the user pulls the power cord, there is always a section of the power cord between the side wall of the base and the inner wall of the kettle body. Under the premise that the outer diameter of the base and the inner diameter of the kettle body are close, the gap between the side wall of the base and the inner wall of the kettle body is small, and the section of the power cord in the gap is very easy to touch the inner wall of the kettle body. That is, during the process of the user pulling the power cord to pull out the base, the power cord is easy to rub against the inner wall of the kettle body. Frequent rubbing can cause scratches on the inner wall of the kettle body, affecting the quality of the kettle body. If the power cord is stuck between the side wall of the base and the inner wall of the kettle body, it will be difficult to take out the base, which is not user-friendly. In order to solve the above problems, the power cord 12 can be rotated to move away from the side wall 112 of the base 11 in the state of taking out the base 11. In this way, the gap between the power cord 12 and the inner wall of the containing cavity 101 is greater than the gap between the side wall 112 of the base 11 and the inner wall of the containing cavity 101. The power cord 12 is away from the inner wall of the kettle body 10 and thus will not contact the inner wall of the kettle body 10. By configuring such conditions, the power cord 12 does not contact and rub against the inner wall of the kettle body 10 during the process of the user pulling the power cord 12, which is beneficial to quickly pulling out the base 11 and ensures smooth taking out of the base 11. Moreover, under the condition that the base does not contact the inner wall of the kettle body 10, the user can pull out the base with less force, reducing the user's burden and improving the user's experience.

[0050] Further, the wire passing groove 13 of the present application is arranged through the side wall 112 and bottom wall 111 of the base 11, so that the power cord 12 can extend from the side wall 112 of the base 11 along the wire passing groove 13 in the working state. In this way, when the base 11 is placed on the workbench, the power cord 12 will not lift the base 11, so that the overall electric kettle can work stably and reliably, improving the use reliability. After use, the base 11 and the power cord 12 can be stored in the containing cavity 101 of the kettle body 10, so that the overall size of the machine is reduced, the storage space is reduced, and the user can carry it conveniently when going out, which can meet the daily use needs of the user.

[0051] Specifically, in the working state, Figure 1 or Figure 7 or Figure 8As shown, the base 11 is connected to the lower part of the kettle body 10, and the base 11 and the kettle body 10 can be fixed by, for example, threaded connection, buckle connection, etc., and the kettle body 10 is provided with an upper connector, and the base 11 is provided with a lower connector, the power cord 12 is electrically connected with the lower connector, and the kettle body 10 can work by coupling the upper connector and the lower connector after the power cord 12 is powered on, so as to meet the user's demand for heating water. It can be understood that the electric kettle is not limited to heating water, but can also be used to cook tea, cook edible materials such as tremella, and can have the function of a health pot to meet the user's demand for use. When the electric kettle is idle, in order to reduce the storage space, the base 11 can be removed and then installed in the containing cavity 101 of the kettle body 10 to form a storage state, as shown in Figure 4 or Figure 10 As shown, dust protection can be performed after the kettle cover is closed. When needed, the base 11 is taken out of the containing cavity 101, and the following steps can be operated: as shown in Figure 5 The power cord 12 is lifted to make the power cord 12 rotate along the wire slot 13 to extend from the bottom wall 111, and the power cord 12 is pulled to pull out the base 11, as shown in Figure 6 Then the base 11 is installed below the kettle body 10. The power cord 12 is lifted vertically, which means that during the process of lifting the power cord 12 in the storage state, the power cord 12 has a change trend from horizontal to vertical, and the power cord 12 gradually extends away from the bottom wall 111 (further away from the side wall 112 of the base 11), which creates favorable conditions for pulling out the base 11. When the user pulls the power cord 12, the power cord 12 can be approximately at a right angle with the bottom wall 111, which is beneficial to the base 11 to be pulled out of the containing cavity 101, and avoids the base 11 from contacting and rubbing or colliding with the inner wall of the kettle body 10 to affect the efficiency of taking out.

[0052] As shown in Figure 2 or Figure 9 The wire slot 13 is distributed on the side wall 112 and the bottom wall 111 of the base 11, forming an L-shaped configuration, for arranging the power cord 12 to make the power cord 12 follow a certain path, ensuring that the power cord 12 can be contained in the wire slot 13 in the working state, avoiding the power cord 12 from protruding from the base 11 to cause the bottom of the base 11 to be uneven and difficult to be placed stably. The wire slot 13 is only connected with the outside, which can prevent mosquitoes and the like from entering the inside of the base 11 through the wire slot 13 to cause a short circuit of the line and affect the internal hygiene.

[0053] After the power cord 12 is lifted vertically, it can rotate to a position above the outlet hole 14. Pulling the power cord 12 at this point will remove the base 11. It's understood that when the pulling force and the center of gravity of the base 11 are aligned vertically, pulling out the base 11 will make it more stable, reducing the probability of wobbling and preventing it from potentially hitting nearby objects or people. To address the wobbling issue during removal, the outlet hole 14 can be located at the center of the bottom wall 111. This way, when the power cord 12 rotates above the outlet hole 14, the pulling force applied to the power cord 12 can be evenly distributed throughout the base 11, allowing for a smooth pull and reducing the possibility of wobbling.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the cable outlet 14 is located at the center of the bottom wall 111 of the base 11, and the cable groove 13 extends to the cable outlet 14.

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the cable outlet 14 is located at the center of the bottom wall 111 of the base 11, and the center of the bottom wall 111 is located on the central axis of the base 11. The center of gravity of the base 11 is also located on the central axis of the base 11. Figure 5 As shown, when the user pulls the power cord 12 to a position above the outlet hole 14, pulling the base 11 removes the base 11, which reduces the shaking of the base 11. Furthermore, the cable guide 13 extends to the outlet hole 14, so that the outlet hole 14 is located within the cable guide 13, which facilitates the rotation of the power cord 12 into the cable guide 13 for arrangement.

[0056] In one embodiment, the depth of the cable tray 13 decreases outward in the radial direction, and the power cable 12 bends from the outlet hole 14 and extends along the cable tray 13 from the side wall 112 of the base 11.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, since the power cord 12 needs to be bent at a certain angle from the outlet hole 14 to extend horizontally, in order to ensure that the power cord 12 does not lift the base 11 during operation and to ensure that the base 11 is stably placed on the worktable, the power cord 12 needs to be housed in the cable guide groove 13 to prevent the power cord 12 from bulging out of the opening of the cable guide groove 13 and lifting the base 11. When the outlet hole 14 is located at the center of the bottom wall 111, the power cord 12 extends radially outward from the center of the bottom wall 111. When the depth of the cable guide groove 13 decreases radially outward, it can be ensured that the position of the cable guide groove 13 near the outlet hole 14 has sufficient depth to accommodate the bent power cord 12, thereby preventing the power cord 12 from bulging out of the cable guide groove 13 at this position and lifting the base 11.

[0058] Preferably, the depth of the through groove 13 gradually decreases outward along the radial direction, such as... Figure 7As shown, the bottom surface of the wire passing groove 13 is a slope 131 extending downward and outward from the wire outlet hole 14, which satisfies the depth requirement of the wire passing groove 13 and facilitates processing. The bottom surface of the wire passing groove 13 can be a plane or an arc surface. In addition to the slope 131, the bottom surface of the wire passing groove 13 can also be in the form of a step, so that the depth of the wire passing groove 13 is suddenly reduced along the radial direction, and the processing mode is flexible.

[0059] The internal shape of the wire passing groove 13 of the present application can be rectangular, trapezoidal, etc., and is set according to the depth variation of the wire passing groove 13.

[0060] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the wire outlet hole 14 is arranged at a position other than the center of the bottom wall 111, for example, it can be arranged at the midpoint of the radius of the bottom wall 111. Alternatively, as shown in Figure 9 , the wire outlet hole 14 is arranged at a position close to the edge of the bottom wall 111, that is, the distance from the wire outlet hole 14 to the edge of the bottom wall 111 is less than the distance from the wire outlet hole 14 to the center of the bottom wall 111. In Figure 9 , the opening length of the wire passing groove 13 can be reduced, which is beneficial to simplify the processing of the base 11. As shown in Figure 8 , the base 11 is in a working state, and the power cord 12 extends laterally, which can ensure that the base 11 is placed stably; as shown in Figure 10 , the base 11 is in a storage state, and the base 11 and the power cord 12 are stored in the accommodating cavity 101, so that the whole machine is small and light; when it is needed to take out the base 11 from the accommodating cavity 101, the power cord 12 is lifted to make the power cord 12 rotate along the wire passing groove 13 and extend out of the bottom wall 111 of the base 11, and then the power cord 12 is pulled out of the base 11.

[0061] In order to improve the stability of the base 11 in the working state, as a preferred embodiment, the depth of the wire passing groove 13 close to the wire outlet hole 14 is not less than 1.2 times the diameter of the power cord 12. This is because the power cord 12 extends out of the wire outlet hole 14 and is bent into the wire passing groove 13 to realize horizontal extension. In order to ensure that the bent power cord 12 is in the wire passing groove 13, the depth of the wire passing groove 13 close to the wire outlet hole 14 should be appropriately larger, so that the bent power cord 12 can be completely embedded in the wire passing groove 13, preventing the power cord 12 from bulging out of the wire passing groove 13 and lifting the base 11, which affects the working stability of the base 11. The depths of the wire passing groove 13 distributed along the radial direction can be equal, or can be varied as shown in Figure 1 .

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, the opposite groove walls of the wire passing groove 13 are provided with protruding ribs 132, and the power cord 12 is clamped between the protruding ribs 132.

[0063] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the power cord 12 is in interference fit with the ribs 132, and the gap between a set of opposite ribs 132 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the power cord 12, so that the power cord 12 is securely clamped between the ribs 132. The power cord 12 is limited by the ribs 132, so that the arrangement stability of the power cord 12 is improved. At the same time, the power cord 12 is in contact with the ribs 132, and the contact area is small, so that the power cord 12 is prevented from directly rubbing against the inner wall of the wire slot 13, and the abrasion of the power cord 12 is reduced. Preferably, the ribs 132 are flexible, so that the power cord 12 is conveniently clamped and pulled out, and the abrasion of the power cord 12 is reduced.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom wall 111 and the side wall 112 of the base 11 are integrally formed, and the wire slot 13 is recessed from the bottom wall 111 of the base 11. The base 11 can adopt an integrated structure, and the wire slot 13 forms a recessed space. By clamping the power cord 12 into the recessed space, the power cord 12 is prevented from bulging out of the wire slot 13 and lifting the base 11, so that the working stability of the base 11 is affected.

[0065] In order to prevent the power cord 12 from being stacked too high and easily lifting the kettle cover or causing the kettle cover to be unable to be closed, as a preferred embodiment, the power cord 12 is provided with a plug 121, and the bottom wall 111 of the base 11 is provided with a plug slot corresponding to the plug 121, and the plug 121 is inserted into the plug slot for storage. By inserting and fixing the plug 121 for storage, the plug 121 is prevented from being scattered at a high position above the base 11 and easily lifting the kettle cover or causing the kettle cover to be unable to be closed, so that the storage efficiency and effect are ensured. Specifically, the plug 121 is provided with two or three metal sheets 122, and the plug slot can be set according to the number and size of the metal sheets 122 to form matching insertion.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment, the base 11 includes an upper cover 15 and a lower cover 16, the upper cover 15 and the lower cover 16 cooperatively form a mounting cavity 17 for mounting a lower connector, and the power cord 12 is electrically connected with the lower connector.

[0067] As shown, Figure 7 When the base 11 adopts the split upper cover 15 and lower cover 16 for cooperation, the installation and maintenance of the internal lower connector are facilitated, and when the lower connector fails, only the lower connector needs to be replaced, instead of the entire base 11, so that the cost is saved.

[0068] In one embodiment, the wire slot 13 is arranged on the lower cover 16, and the wire slot 13 is recessed from the bottom wall 111 and the side wall 112 of the lower cover 16. As shown, Figure 7As shown, the wire slot 13 extends from the sidewall 112 of the lower cover 16 to the wire outlet hole 14 in the radial direction, and the power cord 12 is clamped in the recessed space, so that the power cord 12 is prevented from being lifted up from the base 11 by bulging out of the wire slot 13, thereby affecting the working stability of the base 11.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment, the height of the wire slot 13 on the sidewall 112 of the base 11 is not greater than 1 / 3 of the height of the base 11. By limiting the size of the wire slot 13 on the sidewall 112, it can be ensured that the power cord 12 can be pulled out laterally in the working state, and the base 11 can be placed stably. In addition, the opening on the sidewall 112 is not too large, which can avoid affecting the appearance and easily entering mosquitoes, thereby affecting the internal cleaning.

[0070] The technical scheme of the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and it should be pointed out that the combination of the technical scheme of any one embodiment and the technical scheme of one or more other embodiments is within the protection scope of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail in the above by general description and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made on the basis of the utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, these modifications or improvements made on the basis of not deviating from the spirit of the utility model are within the protection scope of the utility model.
