[0002] An automatic water-filling electric kettle is a smart appliance that integrates functions such as automatic water filling, boiling, heat preservation, and tea brewing. It is suitable for various occasions such as homes and offices.

[0003] The power cord and water inlet pipe of existing electric kettles are located inside the kettle base and extend out from the base. To meet the pull-out force test requirements for the power cord and water inlet pipe, a ring structure is set at the bottom of the kettle base. The power cord is wrapped around the ring structure and then fixed, which increases the length of the power cord. The water inlet pipe requires a separate fixing structure, making the entire fixing scheme for the power cord and water inlet pipe relatively complex, involving more parts, increasing manufacturing costs, and resulting in low installation efficiency.

[0074] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0075] The following is combined with Figures 1-8 This describes embodiments of the installation structure and electrical device of this utility model.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an installation structure is provided for use in an electrical device. The electrical device includes an installation plate 1, a power cord 2, and a water pipe 3. The power cord 2 and the water pipe 3 are mounted on the installation plate 1 through the installation structure.

[0077] This installation structure allows the power cord 2 and water pipe 3 to be installed on the mounting plate 1 through the same structure, realizing the simultaneous installation and fixation of the power cord 2 and water pipe 3. There is no need to set up separate installation structures for the power cord 2 and water pipe 3, thereby simplifying the assembly structure of the power cord 2 and water pipe 3, improving installation efficiency, and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0078] The mounting structure in this embodiment is applied to an electrical device, which has a power cord 2 and a water pipe 3. The electrical device can be an electric kettle, a water purifier, etc. In this embodiment, the mounting structure is applied to an electric kettle, which has functions such as automatic water filling, boiling water, heat preservation, and tea brewing. The electric kettle includes an outer shell and a mounting plate 1. The outer shell is the load-bearing structure of the kettle, has a certain structural strength, and can support other structural components. The interior of the outer shell has a water storage space. Specifically, an inner liner with a certain volume is usually provided inside the outer shell to hold water. The mounting plate 1, or base plate, is set at the bottom of the outer shell, and the bottom of the mounting plate 1 is suitable for placement on a platform such as a table.

[0079] The electric kettle also includes a power cord 2 and a water pipe 3. The power cord 2 is used to connect to a power supply and thus power the electric kettle; the water pipe 3 is a water inlet pipe used to add water to the inner liner of the electric kettle. The power cord 2 and the water pipe 3 are mounted on the mounting plate 1 by the mounting structure of this embodiment, eliminating the need for separate mounting structures for the power cord 2 and the water pipe 3.

[0080] Furthermore, the installation structure includes: a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure. The first limiting structure is disposed on the mounting plate 1 and the power cord 2. The first limiting structure engages and limits the power cord 2 in the extension direction and in a first direction. The extension direction of the power cord 2 is set at an angle to the first direction. The second limiting structure is disposed on the mounting plate 1 and the water pipe 3. The second limiting structure engages and limits the water pipe 3 in the extension direction and in the first direction. The extension direction of the water pipe 3 is set at an angle to the first direction.

[0081] In this installation structure, the first limiting mechanism can lock and limit the power cord 2 in the extension direction and the first direction, while the second limiting structure can lock and limit the water pipe 3 in the extension direction and the first direction. This simplifies the installation structure of the power cord 2 and the water pipe 3 while meeting the pull-out force test requirements. Moreover, the power cord 2 and the water pipe 3 are installed by locking, so they will not loosen or shift. The operation is simple, which can improve installation efficiency and reduce production costs.

[0082] The installation structure includes a first limiting structure and a second limiting structure, wherein the first limiting structure is used to install the power cord 2, and the second limiting structure is used to install the water pipe 3.

[0083] The first limiting structure engages and limits the power cord 2 in both its extension direction and the first direction, with the extension direction of the power cord 2 at an angle to the first direction. The power cord 2 has a certain length, and its extension direction is its length direction, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the first direction is the direction indicated by arrow a-a'. In this embodiment, in order to achieve a stable installation of the power cord 2, at the position where the first limiting structure is set on the mounting plate 1, the extension direction of the power cord 2 is set perpendicular to the first direction. However, at other positions, since the power cord 2 is a flexible wire structure, the extension direction of the power cord 2 is not necessarily perpendicular to the first direction. That is, the angle between the extension direction of the power cord 2 and the first direction can be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle.

[0084] The second limiting structure engages and limits the water pipe 3 in both its extension direction and the first direction, with the extension direction of the water pipe 3 at an angle to the first direction. The water pipe 3 has a certain length, and its extension direction is its length direction, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the first direction is the direction indicated by arrow a-a'. In this embodiment, in order to achieve a stable installation of the water pipe 3, at the position where the second limiting structure is set on the mounting plate 1, the extension direction of the water pipe 3 is set perpendicular to the first direction. However, at other positions, since the water pipe 3 is a flexible linear structure, the extension direction of the water pipe 3 is not necessarily set perpendicular to the first direction. That is, the angle between the extension direction of the water pipe 3 and the first direction can be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle.

[0085] Furthermore, the first limiting structure includes a first mounting groove 4, in which the power cord 2 is snapped into the first mounting groove 4; the second limiting structure includes a second mounting groove 5, in which the water pipe 3 is snapped into the second mounting groove 5.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first limiting structure includes a first mounting groove 4, which is formed on the mounting plate 1, and the power cord 2 is snapped into the first mounting groove 4. The second limiting structure includes a second mounting groove 5, which is formed on the mounting plate 1, and the water pipe 3 is snapped into the second mounting groove 5. This snap-fit ​​installation structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and easy to install, thus improving the installation efficiency of the power cord 2 and the water pipe 3.

[0087] Furthermore, the first limiting structure also includes at least one limiting member 6, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the power cord 2. The bottom of the first mounting groove 4 is provided with a first slot 401 that matches the limiting member 6, and the limiting member 6 is engaged with the first slot 401. When there is one limiting member 6, the first slot 401 is located in the middle of the bottom of the first mounting groove 4 in the extension direction of the power cord 2. When there are two or more limiting members 6, the first slots 401 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the first mounting groove 4 in the extension direction of the power cord 2.

[0088] Depending on the different installation requirements, one, two or more limiting members 6 can be set. Correspondingly, the bottom of the first mounting groove 4 is provided with a matching first slot 401. Through the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the limiting member 6 and the first slot 401, the snap-fit ​​limiting of the power cord 2 is achieved.

[0089] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first limiting structure includes a limiting member 6, which is specifically a limiting block. The limiting block is sleeved on the outer wall of the power cord 2 and protrudes from the outer wall of the power cord 2, and the limiting block and the power cord 2 are relatively fixed. The bottom of the first mounting groove 4 is provided with a first slot 401. The shape, size, and position of the first slot 401 are matched with the limiting block, and the limiting block can be engaged in the first slot 401. Since there is only one limiting member 6, in order to limit the power cord 2 in two directions along the extension direction of the power cord 2, the first slot 401 is located in the middle of the bottom of the first mounting groove 4 in the extension direction of the power cord 2.

[0090] In other embodiments, when there is only one limiting member 6 in the first limiting structure, if there is sufficient space, multiple first slots 4 can be provided at the bottom of the first mounting slot 4. One of them can be selected to engage the limiting member 6 as needed, as long as it can limit the power line 2 in the extension direction of the power line 2.

[0091] In other embodiments, when there are two, three, or four limiting members 6 in the first limiting structure, the number of first slots 401 can be greater than or equal to the number of limiting members 6. The positions of the first slots 401 match those of the limiting members 6, as long as the power line 2 is limited in the extension direction of the power line 2. For example, when there are two limiting members 6, the first slots 401 can be provided at both ends of the bottom of the first mounting groove 4 in the extension direction of the power line 2, thereby simplifying the structure of the first mounting groove 4 and achieving the limitation of the power line 2 in the extension direction of the power line 2.

[0092] Furthermore, in the first direction, the limiting member 6 abuts against the inner wall of the first slot 401.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, in the first limiting structure, in the first direction, the limiting member 6 can directly abut against the inner wall of the first slot 401, thereby limiting the limiting member 6 in the first direction, and thus limiting the power line 2 in the first direction, without the need to set other limiting components, simplifying the installation structure.

[0094] like Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the limiting member 6 is a limiting block, which has a front limiting surface 601, a rear limiting surface 602, a left limiting surface 603, and a right limiting surface 604. When the limiting member 6 is engaged with the first slot 401, the front limiting surface 601 abuts against the front inner wall of the first slot 401, and the rear limiting surface 602 abuts against the rear inner wall of the first slot 401, thereby limiting the power cord 2 in two directions in its extension direction. Moreover, the left limiting surface 603 abuts against the left inner wall of the first slot 401, and the right limiting surface 604 abuts against the right inner wall of the first slot 401, thereby limiting the power cord 2 in two directions in the first direction.

[0095] Furthermore, the second limiting structure also includes at least one limiting member 6, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the water pipe 3. The bottom of the second mounting groove 5 is provided with a second slot 501 that matches the limiting member 6, and the limiting member 6 is engaged with the second slot 501. When there is one limiting member 6, the second slot 501 is located in the middle of the bottom of the second mounting groove 5 in the extension direction of the water pipe 3. When there are two or more limiting members 6, the two ends of the bottom of the second mounting groove 5 are provided with second slots 501 in the extension direction of the water pipe 3.

[0096] Depending on the different installation requirements, one, two or more limiting components 6 can be set. Correspondingly, the bottom of the second mounting groove 5 is provided with a matching second slot 501. Through the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the limiting component 6 and the second slot 501, the snap-fit ​​limiting of the water pipe 3 is achieved.

[0097] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the second limiting structure includes two limiting members 6, specifically limiting ribs. These two limiting ribs are also called I-shaped limiting ribs. The limiting ribs are sleeved on the outer wall of the water pipe 3 and protrude from the outer wall of the water pipe 3, with the limiting ribs being relatively fixed to the water pipe 3. The bottom of the second mounting groove 5 is provided with two second slots 501, also called I-shaped slots. The shape, size, and position of these second slots 501 match the limiting ribs, allowing the limiting ribs to engage within them. Since there are two limiting members 6, to limit the water pipe 3 in two directions along its extension direction, second slots 501 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the second mounting groove 5 along the extension direction of the water pipe 3.

[0098] In other embodiments, when one, three, or four limiting members 6 of the first limiting structure are provided, the number of second slots 501 can be greater than or equal to the number of limiting members 6. The positions of the second slots 501 match those of the limiting members 6, as long as they can ensure that the water pipe 3 is limited in the extension direction of the water pipe 3. For example, when there is one limiting member 6, the second slot 501 can be located in the middle of the bottom of the second mounting groove 5 in the extension direction of the water pipe 3, thereby simplifying the structure of the second mounting groove 5 and realizing the limitation of the water pipe 3 in the extension direction of the water pipe 3.

[0099] Furthermore, in the first direction, the limiting member 6 abuts against the inner wall of the second slot 501.

[0100] like Figure 3 As shown, in the second limiting structure, in the first direction, the limiting member 6 can directly abut against the inner wall of the second slot 501, thereby limiting the limiting member 6 in the first direction, and thus limiting the water pipe 3 in the first direction, without the need to set other limiting components, simplifying the installation structure.

[0101] like Figure 6As shown, specifically, the limiting member 6 is a limiting rib, which has a front limiting surface 601, a rear limiting surface 602, a left limiting surface 603, and a right limiting surface 604. When the limiting member 6 is engaged with the second slot 501, the front limiting surface 601 abuts against the front inner wall of the second slot 501, and the rear limiting surface 602 abuts against the rear inner wall of the second slot 501, thereby limiting the water pipe 3 in two directions along its extension direction. Moreover, the left limiting surface 603 abuts against the left inner wall of the second slot 501, and the right limiting surface 604 abuts against the right inner wall of the second slot 501, thereby limiting the water pipe 3 in two directions in the first direction.

[0102] Furthermore, the installation structure also includes a third limiting structure, which is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 1. The third limiting structure simultaneously limits the power cord 2 and the water pipe 3 in the second direction. The extension direction of the power cord 2, the extension direction of the water pipe 3, and the first direction are all set at an angle to the second direction.

[0103] The installation structure of this embodiment also includes a third limiting structure, which is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 1. This allows the third limiting structure to be set as needed, providing high flexibility. Furthermore, the detachability of the third limiting structure from the mounting plate 1 facilitates the installation of the first and second limiting structures.

[0104] The third limiting structure simultaneously limits the power cord 2 and water pipe 3 in the second direction, which can significantly reduce the number of parts required for the installation of the power cord 2 and water pipe 3, simplify the installation structure, and improve the utilization rate of structural components. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the second direction is the direction indicated by arrow b. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second direction is downward. The extension directions of the power cord 2, the water pipe 3, and the first direction are all set at an angle to the second direction. The angle can be an acute angle, a right angle, an obtuse angle, etc.

[0105] In this embodiment, to ensure a stable installation of the power cord 2, at the location where the first limiting structure is provided on the mounting plate 1, the extension direction of the power cord 2 is perpendicular to the first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Similarly, to ensure a stable installation of the water pipe 3, at the location where the second limiting structure is provided on the mounting plate 1, the extension direction of the water pipe 3 is perpendicular to the first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0106] Furthermore, the third limiting structure includes a pressure plate 7, with the first mounting groove 4 and the second mounting groove 5 opening towards the side of the pressure plate 7. The pressure plate 7 is provided with a first pressing rib 701 and a second pressing rib 702 on the side of the pressure plate 7 facing the first mounting groove 4 and the second mounting groove 5. The first pressing rib 701 is adapted to be inserted into the first mounting groove 4 and press the power cord 2 along the second direction, and the second pressing rib 702 is adapted to be inserted into the second mounting groove 5 and press the water pipe 3 along the second direction.

[0107] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting groove 4 and the second mounting groove 5 are provided with openings facing the pressure plate 7, so as to... Figure 2 Taking the perspective as an example, the first mounting groove 4 and the second mounting groove 5 have openings above them, the upper surface of the mounting plate 1 has a pressure plate mounting surface 101, the side of the pressure plate 7 facing the mounting plate 1 has a mating surface 706, the pressure plate 7 can be set on the mounting plate 1 from top to bottom, at which time the mating surface 706 abuts against the pressure plate mounting surface 101.

[0108] The pressure plate 7 has a first pressure rib 701 and a second pressure rib 702 on the side facing the first mounting groove 4 and the second mounting groove 5. Depending on the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure, the structure and shape of the first pressure rib 701 and the second pressure rib 702 can be the same or different. The first pressure rib 701 is adapted to be inserted into the first mounting groove 4 and press the power cord 2 along the second direction to limit the power cord 2 in the second direction. The second pressure rib 702 is adapted to be inserted into the second mounting groove 5 and press the water pipe 3 along the second direction to limit the water pipe 3 in the second direction.

[0109] Furthermore, the first pressure rib 701 is interference-fitted with the power cord 2.

[0110] Because the power cord 2 has a certain degree of flexibility, the first pressure rib 701 is interference-fitted with the power cord 2, which can ensure that the power cord 2 is pressed tightly by the first pressure rib 701, thereby improving the reliability of the installation structure.

[0111] like Figure 7 As shown, the interference L between the first clamping rib 701 and the power line 2 refers to a certain overlap, or structural interference, between the first clamping rib 701 and the power line 2 in the second direction. To ensure that the first clamping rib 701 can press the power line 2 tightly without damaging it, the ratio of the interference L between the first clamping rib 701 and the power line 2 to the diameter of the power line 2 is in the range of 1 / 10 to 3 / 10. The specific ratio can be set as needed, for example, the ratio of the interference L to the diameter of the power line 2 can be 1 / 10, 2 / 10, 3 / 10, etc.

[0112] Furthermore, when a limiting member 6 is provided on the outer wall of the power cord 2, the limiting member 6 is provided on the side of the power cord 2 away from the pressure plate 7, and one first pressing rib 701 is provided, which presses the part of the power cord 2 without the limiting member 6; when two or more limiting members 6 are provided on the outer wall of the power cord 2, two first pressing ribs 701 are provided, the two first pressing ribs 701 are spaced apart, and the first pressing ribs 701 are provided after the first mounting groove 4, and the first pressing ribs 701 are located inside the limiting member 6 at the end of the first mounting groove 4.

[0113] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting member 6 is provided on the outer wall of the power cord 2. This limiting member 6 is a limiting block, which is located on the side of the power cord 2 away from the pressure plate 7, that is, at the lower part of the power cord 2. The first pressing rib 701 has a certain length in the extending direction of the power cord 2 to increase the area of ​​the pressing contact. The lower end of the first pressing rib 701 presses down on the part of the power cord 2 where the limiting member 6 is not provided, that is, the lower end of the first pressing rib 701 presses down on the upper part of the power cord 2. Figure 4 As shown.

[0114] In other embodiments, if the outer wall of the power cord 2 is provided with two or more limiting members 6, and the limiting members 6 are limiting ribs, then two first pressing ribs 701 are provided, spaced apart. The positions of the two first pressing ribs 701 can avoid the positions of the limiting members 6, so as to prevent the power cord 2 from being pressed into a ring. After the first pressing ribs 701 are set in the first mounting groove 4, the first pressing ribs 701 are located inside the limiting members 6 at the end of the first mounting groove 4, so that the mounting structure is not exposed and the appearance is neater and more uniform. Of course, the two or more limiting members 6 can still be limiting blocks, as long as the first pressing ribs 701 can press the power cord 2 in the second direction.

[0115] Furthermore, when a limiting member 6 is provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 3, the limiting member 6 is provided on the side of the water pipe 3 away from the pressure plate 7, and one second pressure rib 702 is provided, which presses the part of the water pipe 3 without the limiting member 6; when two or more limiting members 6 are provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 3, two second pressure ribs 702 are provided, the two second pressure ribs 702 are spaced apart, and the second pressure ribs 702 are provided after the second mounting groove 5, and the second pressure ribs 702 are located inside the limiting member 6 at the end of the second mounting groove 5.

[0116] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, two limiting members 6 are provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 3. The limiting members 6 are limiting ribs, which are circumferentially sleeved on the water pipe 3. Two second pressing ribs 702 are provided, which are spaced apart. Optionally, the positions of the two second pressing ribs 702 avoid the positions of the limiting members 6 to prevent the water pipe 3 from being pressed and affecting the water flow. After the second pressing ribs 702 are set in the second mounting groove 5, the second pressing ribs 702 are located inside the limiting members 6 at the end of the second mounting groove 5, so that the installation structure is not exposed and the appearance is neater and more uniform.

[0117] In other embodiments, if a limiting member 6 is provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 3, the limiting member 6 can be a limiting block. The limiting member 6 is located on the side of the water pipe 3 away from the pressure plate 7, and a second pressure rib 702 is provided, which presses the part of the water pipe 3 without the limiting member 6. Of course, the limiting member 6 can also still be a limiting rib, as long as the second pressure rib 702 can press the water pipe 3 in the second direction.

[0118] Furthermore, the installation structure also includes a positioning mechanism, which is disposed on the mounting plate 1 and the pressure plate 7, and is used to position the pressure plate 7 on the mounting plate 1.

[0119] To enable quick positioning and installation of the pressure plate 7 with the mounting plate 1, a positioning mechanism is provided on both the mounting plate 1 and the pressure plate 7. This positioning mechanism includes a positioning protrusion 801 and a positioning groove 802 that interlock, with one of the protrusion 801 and the groove 802 located on the mounting plate 1 and the other on the pressure plate 7, thus improving the flexibility of the structural design. Simultaneously, the interlocking positioning protrusion 801 and the positioning groove 802 also serve a foolproof function, preventing the pressure plate 7 from being installed backwards.

[0120] In this embodiment, the positioning protrusion 801 is disposed on the side of the pressure plate 7 facing the mounting plate 1, and the positioning groove 802 is disposed on the side of the mounting plate 1 facing the pressure plate 7. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning groove 802 is provided on the top surface of the mounting plate 1. The cross section of the positioning groove 802 perpendicular to the height direction is non-circular (such as rectangular). Correspondingly, the positioning protrusion 801 is provided on the lower surface of the pressure plate 7. The cross section of the positioning protrusion 801 perpendicular to the height direction is non-circular (such as rectangular). The positioning protrusion 801 can be inserted and engaged with the positioning groove 802 to realize the quick positioning and installation of the pressure plate 7 and the mounting plate 1.

[0121] To make the connection between the pressure plate 7 and the mounting plate 1 more secure, the pressure plate 7 is also provided with two pressure plate mounting holes 705. Correspondingly, the mounting plate 1 is also provided with two mounting plate mounting holes 102. When the positioning protrusion 801 and the positioning groove 802 are inserted and engaged, the pressure plate mounting holes 705 and the mounting plate mounting holes 102 are aligned, and then the pressure plate mounting holes 705 and the corresponding mounting plate mounting holes 102 can be fastened by fasteners.

[0122] Furthermore, the mounting structure also includes a pressure plate limiting mechanism, which is disposed on the mounting plate 1 and the pressure plate 7, and is used to limit the pressure plate 7 in the first direction.

[0123] To further ensure that the pressure plate 7 is firmly and reliably positioned on the mounting plate 1, the mounting structure also includes a pressure plate limiting mechanism. The pressure plate limiting mechanism is used to limit the pressure plate 7 in the first direction to prevent the pressure plate 7 from shifting or moving in the first direction.

[0124] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressure plate limiting mechanism includes a first limiting plate 9 and a second limiting plate 10 disposed on the mounting plate 1. The first limiting plate 9 and the second limiting plate 10 are spaced apart in a first direction. The pressure plate 7 has a first mating surface 703 and a second mating surface 704. The first mating surface 703 abuts against the first limiting plate 9, and the second mating surface 704 abuts against the second limiting plate 10.

[0125] The pressure plate limiting mechanism includes a first limiting plate 9 and a second limiting plate 10 disposed on the mounting plate 1. The first limiting plate 9 and the second limiting plate 10 can be integrally formed with the mounting plate 1, and the positions of the first limiting plate 9 and the second limiting plate 10 should not affect the first mounting groove 4 and the second mounting groove 5. In this embodiment, the first limiting plate 9 and the second limiting plate 10 are spaced apart in a first direction, and the first mounting groove 4 and the second mounting groove 5 are disposed in the area between the first limiting plate 9 and the second limiting plate 10.

[0126] The pressure plate 7 has a first mating surface 703 and a second mating surface 704. The first mating surface 703 and the second mating surface 704 are the two outer surfaces of the pressure plate 7 in the first direction. When the pressure plate 7 is installed on the mounting plate 1, the first mating surface 703 abuts against the first limiting plate 9, and the second mating surface 704 abuts against the second limiting plate 10, so as to limit the pressure plate 7 in the first direction.

[0127] This embodiment also provides an electrical device, including a mounting plate 1, a power cord 2, and a water pipe 3, wherein the power cord 2 and the water pipe 3 are mounted on the mounting plate 1 by the mounting structure described above.

[0128] In this electrical device, the power cord 2 and water pipe 3 are mounted on the mounting plate 1 using the mounting structure of this embodiment. The overall structure is simple, the installation is easy, and it enables quick and reliable installation of the power cord with high assembly efficiency. This electrical device can be an electric kettle, a water purifier, etc. In this embodiment, the electrical device is an electric kettle.

[0129] The electric kettle includes an outer shell and a mounting plate 1. The outer shell serves as the load-bearing structure of the kettle, possessing sufficient structural strength to support other structural components. The interior of the outer shell has a water storage space; specifically, an inner liner with a certain volume is typically installed inside the outer shell. The mounting plate 1, also known as the base plate, is located at the bottom of the outer shell. Support legs 13 are provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 1, allowing it to be placed on a platform such as a table. The electric kettle also includes a power cord 2 and a water pipe 3. The power cord 2 connects to a power source to supply power to the kettle; the water pipe 3 is the water inlet pipe used to add water to the inner liner of the kettle. The power cord 2 and the water pipe 3 are mounted on the mounting plate 1 using the mounting structure of this embodiment.

[0130] In addition, the electric kettle of this embodiment also has a middle shell 11 and a weighing component 12. The middle shell 11 is disposed between the outer shell and the mounting plate 1, and is connected to the outer shell, supporting the outer shell. The weighing component 12 is disposed between the middle shell 11 and the mounting plate 1. The weighing component 12 is used to weigh the water inside the outer shell. When the water level in the kettle reaches a set low value, water is automatically added; when the water level reaches a set high value, water addition is automatically stopped. In this embodiment, the weighing component 12 is fixed to the middle shell 11 and supported on the base plate. The power cord 2 and water pipe 3 are separately fixed to the base plate, separating the weighing component 12 from the externally movable power cord 2 and water pipe 3. External pulling will not affect the weighing component 12, ensuring the accuracy of automatic water addition. Of course, the electric kettle of this embodiment also has other structures and components that are common to existing electric kettles, which will not be described in detail here.

[0131] The installation process of the power cord 2 and water pipe 3 in the electrical device of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0132] First, the limiting block is assembled onto the outer wall of the power cord 2. The power cord 2 with the limiting block is placed into the first mounting groove 4, and the limiting block is engaged with the first slot 401. At this time, the power cord 2 is limited in its extension direction and in the first direction. The limiting rib is assembled onto the water pipe 3. The water pipe 3 with the limiting rib is placed into the second mounting groove 5, and the limiting rib is engaged with the second slot 501. At this time, the water pipe 3 is limited in its extension direction and in the first direction.

[0133] Next, insert the positioning protrusion 801 of the pressure plate 7 into the positioning groove 802 of the mounting plate 1, align the pressure plate mounting hole 705 with the mounting plate mounting hole 102, and tighten the pressure plate mounting hole 705 and the mounting plate mounting hole 102 with bolts. At this time, the first pressure rib 701 presses the power cord 2 along the second direction, thereby limiting the power cord 2 in the second direction, and the second pressure rib 702 presses the water pipe 3 along the second direction, thereby limiting the water pipe 3 in the second direction.

[0134] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
