Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettles, and in particular to an easy-to-use electric kettle. Background Technology
[0002] Electric kettles are common household appliances, known for their quick boiling and compact size. However, existing electric kettles have several drawbacks. Water that leaks during filling can easily flow down the outer wall of the kettle to the base. Additionally, when boiling water, the steam emitted can condense and remain on the outer wall, flowing down to the base and potentially causing a short circuit and damaging the kettle. Therefore, a more user-friendly electric kettle has been proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention addresses the technical problems of existing electric kettles, where water leaks easily down the outer wall of the kettle and flows down to the base during the filling process, and where steam sprayed out of the kettle condenses and remains on the outer wall of the kettle and flows down to the base, causing water to enter the base and short-circuit, thus posing a risk of damage to the electric kettle. The present invention provides an easy-to-use electric kettle.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] An easy-to-use electric kettle includes a kettle body and a base. A water collection tray is fixedly connected to the outside of the kettle body. Multiple through holes are opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the water collection tray. A water collection trough is opened at the top of the base. A drain hole is opened on the side of the water collection trough.
[0006] Preferably, a sealing plug is installed inside the through hole in the inner wall of the water collection tray. A folding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing plug. The outer end of the folding rod extends through to the outer wall of the water collection tray and is movably connected to it. A limiting groove is opened on the side of the folding rod. A sliding groove is opened on the outer wall of the water collection tray and is movably connected to the limiting groove. A collar is fixedly connected to the outer end of multiple folding rods. The collar is set on the outer side of the water collection tray. A bottom rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing plug. The cross-sectional area of the bottom rod is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the sealing plug.
[0007] Using the above technical solution, the sealing plug seals the through hole in the inner wall of the water collection tray to prevent water from flowing out. The collar drives the folding rod to move upward, thereby opening the sealing plug.
[0008] Preferably, a push ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the collar, multiple springs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the push ring, a support ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple springs, the support ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water collection tray, multiple top blocks are fixedly connected to the top of the base, and the bottom of the push ring overlaps with the top blocks when the pot body is installed.
[0009] Using the above technical solution, the push ring moves the collar upward under the push of the top block. After the pot body is separated from the base by the spring, the push ring rebounds, thereby driving the collar and sealing plug to reset.
[0010] Preferably, a water-retaining ring is provided on the top of the water collection tray. The top surface of the water-retaining ring is an inwardly converging slope. The width of the water-retaining ring is smaller than the width inside the water collection tray, and the outer ring of the water-retaining ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water collection tray.
[0011] Using the above technical solution, the water-blocking ring will gather the water dripping from the kettle into the water collection tray, thereby preventing water from flowing out.
[0012] Preferably, the drain hole is connected to the water collection tank, the bottom of the inner wall of the drain hole is beveled, and the outer side of the bottom of the inner wall of the drain hole is higher than the inner side.
[0013] Using the above technical solution, the water in the water collection tank can be discharged through the drain hole by tilting the base. The inclined side inside the drain hole prevents water from flowing out when the base is laid flat.
[0014] Preferably, a baffle plate is provided on the top of the water collection tank. The baffle plate has the same structure as the baffle ring and its outer ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water collection tank. A pot body mounting groove is fixedly connected to the top of the base and is connected to the bottom of the pot body.
[0015] Using the above technical solution, the kettle body is installed in a fixed position through the kettle body mounting groove, and the water is guided into the water collection tank through the water baffle to prevent water from flowing to the outside of the base.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. This utility model collects water flowing down the outer wall of the kettle into the water collection tray through a water-blocking ring. As the kettle is installed on the base, the push ring moves downward and contacts the top block. The top block pushes the push ring upward through a reaction force. The push ring drives the collar to move upward, which in turn drives multiple folding rods to move upward. These folding rods then drive multiple sealing plugs to move upward. The sealing plugs drive the bottom rod to move upward, causing the sealing plugs to disengage from the through holes in the inner wall of the water collection tray. The through holes then guide the water into the water collection trough, thus preventing water flowing down the outer wall of the kettle from flowing onto the base and causing a short circuit, thereby avoiding damage to the electric kettle.
[0018] 2. This utility model prevents water in the water collection tank from flowing outward when the base is laid flat by using the inclined edge of the inner wall of the drain hole. Therefore, it avoids water in the water collection tank flowing out onto the table during the boiling process, which would be difficult to clean. It also eliminates the need for additional structures such as plugs to seal the drain hole, thus making it easy to use and reducing manufacturing costs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The following will describe the concept and technical effects of this utility model clearly and completely with reference to the embodiments, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of this utility model.
[0025] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, an easy-to-use electric kettle is characterized by: a kettle body 1 and a base 3; a water collection tray 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the kettle body 1; multiple through holes are formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the water collection tray 2; a water collection groove 33 is formed at the top of the base 3; a drain hole 31 is formed on the side of the water collection groove 33; a sealing plug 23 is installed inside the through holes in the inner wall of the water collection tray 2; a folding rod 232 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing plug 23; the outer end of the folding rod 232 extends through to the outer wall of the water collection tray 2 and is movably connected thereto; a limiting groove 233 is formed on the side of the folding rod 232; a sliding groove is formed on the outer wall of the water collection tray 2 and is movably connected to the limiting groove 233; and a collar 21 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the multiple folding rods 232, with the collar 21 located on the outside of the water collection tray 2. A bottom rod 231 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing plug 23. The cross-sectional area of the bottom rod 231 is smaller than that of the sealing plug 23. A push ring 211 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the collar 21. Multiple springs 212 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the push ring 211. A support ring 213 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple springs 212. The support ring 213 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water collection tray 2. Multiple top blocks 32 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 3. The bottom of the push ring 211 overlaps with the top block 32 when the pot body 1 is installed. A water-blocking ring 22 is provided on the top of the water collection tray 2. The top surface of the water-blocking ring 22 is an inwardly converging slope. The width of the water-blocking ring 22 is smaller than the width inside the water collection tray 2. The outer ring of the water-blocking ring 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water collection tray 2.
[0026] As attached Figure 4As shown, the drain hole 31 is connected to the water collection tank 33. The bottom of the inner wall of the drain hole 31 is beveled, and the outer side of the bottom of the inner wall of the drain hole 31 is higher than the inner side. A baffle plate 34 is provided on the top of the water collection tank 33. The baffle plate 34 has the same structure as the baffle ring 22 and its outer ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water collection tank 33. A pot body mounting groove 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 3. The pot body mounting groove 35 is connected to the bottom of the pot body 1.
[0027] In the above embodiment, the user inserts the kettle body 1 into the kettle body mounting groove 35, at which time the sealing plug 23 is inserted into the through hole inside the water collection tray 2 to seal the water collection tray 2.
[0028] During the user's installation of the kettle body 1, the push ring 211 moves downward and contacts the top block 32. The top block 32 pushes the push ring 211 upward through the reaction force. The push ring 211 drives the collar 21 to move upward. The collar 21 drives multiple folding rods 232 to move upward. The multiple folding rods 232 drive multiple sealing plugs 23 to move upward. The sealing plugs 23 drive the bottom rod 231 to move upward until the sealing plugs 23 gradually disengage from the through holes in the inner wall of the water collection tray 2.
[0029] After the sealing plug 23 is separated from the through hole on the inner wall of the water collection tray 2, the bottom rod 231 is located inside the through hole, and a gap for water supply is formed between the bottom rod 231 and the inner wall of the through hole. At this time, the through hole is located above the water collection tank 33. Then the user boils water. During the boiling process, the water vapor sprayed from the kettle body 1 condenses and flows downward. The inclined side of the water baffle ring 22 guides the condensed water into the water collection tray 2 and flows into the water collection tank 33 through the through hole. At this time, the base 3 is in a flat position.
[0030] When the base 3 is in a flat position, the inclined edge of the inner wall of the drain hole 31 prevents the water in the water collection tank 33 from flowing out.
[0031] After boiling the water, the user removes the kettle body 1 upwards, then tilts the base 3. The water collection tank 33 guides the water to the drain hole 31 in the tilted state and drains the water through the drain hole 31.
[0032] As the kettle body 1 is removed upwards, the push ring 211 gradually separates from the top block 32. The spring 212 rebounds and drives the push ring 211 to move downwards. The push ring 211 drives the collar 21 to move downwards. The collar 21 drives multiple folding rods 232 to move downwards. The multiple folding rods 232 drive multiple sealing plugs 23 to move downwards and insert into the through holes in the inner wall of the water collection tray 2 until the sealing plugs 23 seal the through holes.
[0033] Working principle: When the user inserts the kettle body 1 into the kettle body mounting slot 35, the sealing plug 23 is inserted into the through hole inside the water collection tray 2 to seal the water collection tray 2.
[0034] During the user's installation of the kettle body 1, the push ring 211 moves downward and contacts the top block 32. The top block 32 pushes the push ring 211 upward through the reaction force. The push ring 211 drives the collar 21 to move upward. The collar 21 drives multiple folding rods 232 to move upward. The multiple folding rods 232 drive multiple sealing plugs 23 to move upward. The sealing plugs 23 drive the bottom rod 231 to move upward until the sealing plugs 23 gradually disengage from the through holes in the inner wall of the water collection tray 2.
[0035] After the sealing plug 23 disengages from the through hole in the inner wall of the water collection tray 2, the bottom rod 231 is located inside the through hole, forming a gap for water flow between the bottom rod 231 and the inner wall of the through hole. The through hole is located above the water collection trough 33. When the user boils water, the steam emitted from the kettle 1 condenses and flows downwards. The inclined side of the water-blocking ring 22 guides the condensed water into the water collection tray 2 and then into the water collection trough 33 through the through hole. At this time, the base 3 is in a flat position. When the base 3 is in a flat position, the inclined side of the inner wall of the drain hole 31 prevents water in the water collection trough 33 from flowing outwards. After boiling, the user removes the kettle 1 upwards and then tilts the base 3. The water collection trough 33, in its tilted state, guides the water to the drain hole 31 and drains the water through the drain hole 31. As the kettle body 1 is removed upwards, the push ring 211 gradually separates from the top block 32. The spring 212 rebounds and drives the push ring 211 to move downwards. The push ring 211 drives the collar 21 to move downwards. The collar 21 drives multiple folding rods 232 to move downwards. The multiple folding rods 232 drive multiple sealing plugs 23 to move downwards and insert into the through holes in the inner wall of the water collection tray 2 until the sealing plugs 23 seal the through holes.
[0036] The above embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
