Furthermore, monitoring the water level inside the kettle is inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a detachable heating kettle that can be used separately, can accurately detect water temperature and water level, and is easy to clean.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A user-friendly, modular electric kettle includes a kettle body and a heating base. The heating base has a heating groove at its top, and the bottom edge of the kettle body has a stepped section that engages with the heating groove. The heating base has a radiant heating plate, and the middle of the heating groove is a heating plate that connects with the radiant heating plate.

One side of the detection module has an elastic detection wall that fits tightly against the side wall of the kettle body under elasticity.

[0006] In this application, the kettle body and heating base are separate units. During use, the stepped part of the kettle body engages with the heating slot, ensuring that the bottom of the kettle body is in close contact with the heating plate of the heating slot for heating. Due to the elasticity of the detection wall, when the kettle body is placed in the heating slot, the side wall of the kettle body can be in close contact with the detection wall for detection under the limitation of the heating slot. Since the detection module is located on one side of the heating base, it is not affected by the high temperature of the heating plate, resulting in a simple structure and accurate detection of the water temperature and level inside the kettle. The separate heating kettle of this application does not require other detection components inside the kettle body, facilitating maintenance and cleaning. Furthermore, it can accurately detect water through the detection module provided on the heating base. The structure is reasonable, the kettle body is easy to place, and the user experience is improved.

[0007] In one embodiment, the sidewall of the heating tank is provided with a number of snap-fit ​​ribs at intervals, and the snap-fit ​​ribs limit the step position.

[0008] In one embodiment, the heating base includes a housing, a mounting bracket, and a fixing ring, wherein the mounting bracket is fixed to the inner cavity of the housing, and the radiant heating plate is fixed to the mounting bracket.

[0009] In one embodiment, the outer casing has an opening in the middle, and the radiant heating plate is located below the opening; the retaining ring is detachably installed on the edge of the opening, and the heating plate is fixed between the retaining ring and the radiant heating plate to form the heating groove.

[0010] In one embodiment, the retaining ring is made of a high-temperature resistant material, and a sealing ring is embedded between the heating plate and the retaining ring.

[0011] In one embodiment, the detection seat is integrally formed extending upward from one side of the outer shell, and the detection seat has an installation port on the side facing the heating groove. The detection module is fixed to the inner cavity of the detection seat, and the detection wall passes through the installation port and fits against the side wall of the kettle body.

[0012] In one embodiment, the detection module includes a mounting base and a movable component, the movable component being elastically connected to the mounting base; the detection wall is located on the movable component.

[0013] In one embodiment, the water level sensor is mounted on the mounting base, and a first elastic element abuts between the inner side of the water level sensor and the detection wall. The water level sensor transmits a water level sensing signal through the first elastic element to monitor the water level of the heating container. The temperature sensor is mounted on the detection wall, and a second elastic element abuts between the mounting base and the detection wall on the rear side of the temperature sensor.

[0014] In one embodiment, the temperature sensor includes a sensing metal sheet that is snapped onto the surface of the detection wall.

[0022] This application provides a user-friendly split-type heating kettle to address the technical problems of existing heating kettles that either place the sensor inside the kettle for direct measurement, which is convenient for cleaning and use but is prone to accuracy issues due to limescale buildup, or place the sensor at the bottom of the heating plate, but the heating plate's heat during heating can affect the sensor's detection data, leading to inaccurate data and inconvenience for users.

[0023] To make the inventive objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a user-friendly split-type heating kettle, including a kettle body 100 and a heating base 200. The heating base 200 has a heating groove 210 at its top and a step 110 at its bottom edge, which engages with the heating groove 210. The heating base 200 has a radiant heating plate 300, and the middle of the heating groove 210 has a heating plate 400 that connects to the radiant heating plate 300. The bottom of the kettle body 100 is in contact with the heating plate 400. A detection seat 220 extends upward from one side of the heating base 200. The detection seat 220 is equipped with a detection module 500, which includes a water level sensor 600 and a temperature sensor 700. One side of the detection module 500 has an elastic detection wall 510, which fits tightly against the side wall of the kettle body 100 under elastic action.

[0025] Specifically, the kettle body 100 and the heating kettle body 100 are separate units. The top of the heating base 200 is recessed to form a heating groove 210. The bottom dimensions of the kettle body 100 correspond to the heating groove 210. The edge of the kettle body 100 forms a step 110, which matches the side wall of the heating groove 210. When the kettle body 100 is placed on the heating base 200, the bottom step 110 of the kettle body 100 and the heating groove 210 form a locking and limiting connection, making the kettle body 100 stable during heating. In addition, the middle of the heating groove 210 is a horizontal heating plate 400, which is opposite to the radiant heating plate 300 installed inside the heating base 200 to provide heat. Under the limiting of the heating groove 210, the bottom plane of the kettle body 100 is fully in contact with the heating plate 400 to ensure heating efficiency. Extending upwards from one side of the heating base 200... A detection seat 220 is positioned above the top of the heating tank 210. The detection seat 220 is equipped with a detection module 500, which contains a water level sensor 600 and a temperature sensor 700. One side of the detection module 500 has an elastic, movable detection wall 510. When the kettle body 100 is placed in the heating tank 210, the detection wall 510 is compressed inwards, allowing it to fit tightly against the surface of the kettle body 100, detecting the water level and temperature within the kettle body 100. The detection wall 510 detects the water temperature through the temperature conducted by the side wall of the kettle body 100. Under the constraint of the heating tank 210, the detection wall 510 remains in contact with the kettle body 100, ensuring the accuracy of the detection data. Since the detection module 500 does not need to be located inside the kettle body 100, the kettle body 100 is easier to clean, and the detection module 500 is easier to maintain.

[0026] Furthermore, the sidewall of the heating groove 210 is provided with a number of locking ribs 211 at intervals, and the locking ribs 211 limit the step position 110. The dimensions formed by the locking ribs 211 spaced around the sidewall of the heating groove 210 match the dimensions of the step position 110, so that when the kettle body 100 is placed in the heating groove 210, the base of the kettle body 100 is limited and not easily shifted; the top corner of the locking rib 211 is arc-shaped to ensure that the kettle body 100 is placed more smoothly.

[0027] See further Figures 3 to 4The heating base 200 includes a housing 230, a mounting bracket 240, and a fixing ring 250. The mounting bracket 240 is fixed to the inner cavity of the housing 230, and the radiant heating plate 300 is fixed to the mounting bracket 240. The mounting bracket 240 is fixed to the housing 230 by a threaded connection. The radiant heating plate 300 is installed in a downward-facing groove in the middle of the mounting bracket 240, with the heated end facing upwards. The outer casing 230 is provided with heat dissipation holes, and the mounting bracket 240 has a notch on the side facing the heat dissipation holes for better heat dissipation. The bottom of the mounting bracket 240 is used to fix circuit components such as circuit boards for easy installation. The middle part of the outer casing 230 is an opening 231, and the radiant heating plate 300 is located below the opening 231. The fixing ring 250 is detachably installed on the edge of the opening 231. The heating plate 400 is fixed between the fixing ring 250 and the radiant heating plate 300 to form the heating groove 210. It is connected to the outer casing 230 through the detachable fixing ring 250 and fixes the heating plate 400 between the fixing ring 250 and the radiant heating plate 300. The heating components are detachable for easy installation and maintenance.

[0028] Furthermore, an annular groove 2311 is provided on the edge of the opening 231, the fixing ring 250 is attached to the annular groove 2311, a limiting wall 251 extends from the inner side of the fixing ring 250, and a sealing ring 800 abuts between the limiting wall 251 and the heating plate 400; the fixing ring 250 is made of high temperature resistant material. The side wall of the opening 231 is provided with an annular groove 2311, and the fixing ring 250 is attached to the annular groove 2311. The snap-fit ​​rib 211 is provided on the inner side wall of the fixing ring 250. The fixing ring 250 and the mounting bracket 240 are connected by a thread for easy installation. The inner side of the fixing ring 250 near the bottom forms a limiting wall 251 that matches the diameter of the heating plate 400, so as to abut against the edge of the heating plate 400. A high-temperature resistant sealing ring 800 is embedded between the abutment positions to prevent the liquid in the pot 100 from leaking into the interior of the outer shell 230 and affecting the normal operation of other components. The bottom of the heating plate 400 abuts against the top of the radiant heating plate 300. The high-temperature resistant fixing ring 250 separates the heating plate 400 from the outer shell 230 to prevent the outer shell 230 from melting due to the high temperature of the heating plate 400, which would affect its service life. Moreover, it is not necessary to fix 400 with glue during installation, which would affect the processing progress.

[0029] Furthermore, the detection seat 220 is integrally formed by extending upward from one side of the outer shell 230. The detection seat 220 has an installation port 221 on the side facing the heating groove 210. The detection module 500 is fixed to the inner cavity of the detection seat 220. The detection wall 510 passes through the installation port 221 and fits against the side wall of the kettle body 100. The detection seat 220 and the outer shell 230 are integrally formed, reducing the processing process. The interior of the detection seat 220 is a cavity communicating with the outer shell 230. The detection module 500 is fixed in the cavity by a threaded connection. The installation port 221 on the side of the detection seat 220 facing the heating groove 210 is adapted to the size of the detection wall 510. After the detection wall 510 passes through the installation port 221, it fits against the side wall of the kettle body 100. When the detection wall 510 is compressed, it elastically contracts at the installation port 221. Under the limitation of the installation port 221, it is not easy to shift, which would affect the accuracy of the detection.

[0030] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 4 to 5The detection module 500 includes a mounting base 520 and a movable component 530, the movable component 530 being elastically connected to the mounting base 520; the detection wall 510 is located on the movable component 530. The water level sensor 600 is mounted on the mounting base 520, and a first elastic element 540 abuts between the inner side of the water level sensor 600 and the detection wall 510. The water level sensor 600 transmits a water level sensing signal through the first elastic element 540 to monitor the water level of the heating container; the temperature sensor 700 is mounted on the detection wall 510, and a second elastic element 550 abuts between the mounting base 520 and the detection wall 510 on the rear side of the temperature sensor 700. Both ends of the movable component 530 are movably engaged in the mounting base 520, while its bottom is limited by the side wall blocks of the mounting base 520. A second elastic component 550 and a first elastic component 540 are installed side-by-side between the movable component 530 and the mounting base 520, both abutting against the detection wall 510. In this embodiment, both the first elastic component 540 and the second elastic component 550 are spring components, simple in structure and elastic, capable of automatic reset. The detection wall 510 is formed by protruding forward, and the sensing end of the temperature sensor 700 is located on the front side of the detection wall 510, thus monitoring the liquid temperature transmitted by the kettle body 100. The water level sensor 600 is a capacitive sensor, and its main body is fixed to the mounting base 520. The first elastic element 540 is mounted on the side wall of the mounting base 520 and is located at the same vertical height as the temperature sensor 700. The two ends of the first elastic element 540 are respectively in contact with the detection wall 510 and the water level sensor 600. The electrical signal output by the sensing end of the water level sensor 600 is output to the heating container side through the second elastic element 550. When the water level changes in the electrical signal area, the capacitance value of the water level sensor 600 changes accordingly, thereby monitoring the water level in the container. This allows the detection module 500 to accurately monitor the water level and temperature without directly contacting the liquid inside the container. The second elastic element 550 has both signal conduction and elasticity functions, simplifying the structure of the detection module 500 and facilitating manufacturing.

[0031] Furthermore, the temperature sensor 700 includes a sensing metal sheet 710, which is snapped onto the surface of the detection wall 510. The sensing metal sheet 710 has four peripheral edges with snap-fit ​​edges 711, which are fixed to the detection wall 510 through fixing holes 511. This allows the sensing metal sheet 710 to contact the surface of the pot 100 during detection, transmitting the liquid temperature of the pot 100 to the sensing metal sheet 710 for accurate detection. One of the snap-fit ​​edges 711 is connected to a ground terminal on the inner side of the detection wall 510 to ensure safer use.

[0032] In this embodiment, a faucet 120 is installed at the bottom of the kettle body 100, and a handle 130 is provided at the top of the kettle body 100. By providing a faucet 120 at the bottom of the kettle body 100 to directly extract the liquid inside the kettle body 100, the kettle body 100 can be configured as a large-capacity kettle body 100, which is convenient for users. In addition, the handle 130 provided at the top of the kettle body 100 makes it easy for users to pick up and put down the kettle body 100, making operation simple.

[0033] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
