Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an electric kettle, specifically a steam pipe anti-tipping electric kettle. Background Technology
[0002] As described in patent document CN 206151215 U, there is an electric kettle structure that controls the heating of an electric kettle by having a steam pipe conduct hot water steam.
[0003] In existing steam pipe electric kettles, if the kettle is accidentally tipped over, water can easily rush in through the steam pipe and flow back into the vicinity of the electrical control structure, posing a risk of water ingress and short circuit to the electrical control structure. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a steam pipe anti-tipping electric kettle that can effectively prevent water from flowing directly into the steam pipe and backflowing when the kettle is tipped over.
[0005] An anti-tipping electric kettle with a steam pipe includes a kettle body and a base disposed on the lower side of the kettle body. The base is provided with a steam temperature sensing element. A steam pipe is disposed inside the kettle body. One end of the steam pipe is located at the top front side of the kettle body, and the other end faces downward and connects to the base and is positioned towards the steam temperature sensing element. A spout section extends from the front side of the kettle body, and a water outlet is provided at the end of the spout section.
[0006] Furthermore, a heating surface is formed on the upper side of the base corresponding to the bottom of the kettle body, and a heating element is provided inside the base on the lower side of the heating surface. The steam temperature sensing element is electrically connected to the heating element.
[0007] Furthermore, the other end of the steam pipe is located at the rear of the kettle body and is connected to the base.
[0008] Furthermore, the steam pipe includes a vertical section extending vertically from the rear side of the kettle body and an extension section extending forward from the upper side of the kettle body. One end of the steam pipe is located in front of the extension section and is fixedly positioned. The other end of the steam pipe extends into the base from the lower end of the vertical section.
[0009] Furthermore, an opening is provided at the top center of the kettle body, and a spout section extends forward from the lower front side of the kettle body, with the water outlet located at the end of the spout section; the extension section is curved in an arc around the outer periphery of the kettle opening.
[0010] Furthermore, the center of gravity of the steam pipe anti-tipping electric kettle is shifted to the rear; the spout section extends forward and upward from the lower front part of the kettle body.
[0011] Furthermore, a counterweight is provided on the rear side of the base; the center of gravity of the steam pipe anti-tipping electric kettle is shifted to the rear and lower side.
[0012] Furthermore, a support frame is positioned on the upper front side of the kettle body, and a horizontal pipe port is provided on the support frame. One end of the steam pipe is connected to the support frame through the pipe port and positioned therein. The support frame is provided with a steam collection port, and one end of the steam pipe is positioned corresponding to the steam collection port.
[0013] Furthermore, the steam collection port is located in the center of the support frame and is provided vertically.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] In an electric kettle with a steam pipe anti-tipping design, the steam pipe is positioned above the front of the kettle body, corresponding to the spout section. This prevents the kettle from tipping over when it is tilted, as the external spout section prevents the kettle from tipping directly forward. This effectively avoids water from the top front of the kettle flowing directly into the steam pipe.
[0016] The anti-tipping electric kettle with a steam pipe has its center of gravity shifted backward. When the kettle is tilted, the water will tend to the rear, preventing water from rushing into the steam pipe from the front and top. At the same time, the structure of the spout extending forward and upward also effectively prevents water from flowing directly out of the spout. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the technical solution, purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following explanation is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 2As shown, this utility model discloses a steam pipe anti-tipping electric kettle, including a kettle body 1 and a base 2 disposed on the lower side of the kettle body 1. The base 2 is provided with a steam temperature sensing element. A steam pipe 3 is disposed inside the kettle body 1. One end of the steam pipe 3 is located at the top front side of the kettle body 1, and the other end faces downward and connects to the base 2 and is positioned towards the steam temperature sensing element. A spout section 4 extends from the front side of the kettle body 1, and a water outlet 41 is provided at the end of the spout section 4.
[0023] Its application principle is as follows:
[0024] Under normal circumstances, based on the structure of the spout section 4 extending to the front, when the electric kettle is tilted, the protruding spout section 4 will effectively prevent the kettle body 1 from completely overturning. Under the premise that one end of the steam pipe 3 corresponds to the spout section 4 and is located in the front and top position inside the kettle body 1, the possibility of water flowing directly into the kettle from one end of the steam pipe 3 after tilting can be effectively reduced.
[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the specific structural configuration of the steam pipe anti-tipping electric kettle is as follows:
[0026] In this embodiment, for the basic functional application of an electric kettle, a heating surface 21 is formed on the upper side of the base 2 corresponding to the bottom of the kettle body 1. A heating element is disposed inside the base 2 on the lower side of the heating surface 21, and the steam temperature sensing element is electrically connected to the heating element. In use, by controlling the heating element to generate heat, the heating surface 21 transfers heat to the water source inside the kettle body 1, thereby heating the water source. When the water source boils, the steam generated by boiling is collected at one end of the steam pipe 3 and guided by the steam pipe 3 to the steam temperature sensing element, thereby controlling the linkage heating element to stop heating.
[0027] The steam pipe 3 is specifically structured such that the other end of the steam pipe 3 is located at the rear side of the kettle body 1 and connected to the base 2. The steam pipe 3 includes a vertical section 31 extending vertically at the rear side of the kettle body 1 and an extension section 32 extending forward at the upper side of the kettle body 1. One end of the steam pipe 3 is located at the front side of the extension section 32 and is fixedly positioned. The other end of the steam pipe 3 extends into the base 2 at the lower end of the vertical section 31.
[0028] In this design, an opening 11 is provided at the top center of the kettle body 1, and the extension section 32 of the steam pipe 3 is curved in an arc shape around the outer periphery of the opening 11. The segmented curved steam pipe 3 can further reduce the risk of water flowing directly into the vicinity of the electrical control structure.
[0029] To further enhance the anti-tipping design of the kettle, in this invention, the overall center of gravity of the steam pipe anti-tipping electric kettle is shifted to the rear; the spout section 4 extends forward and upward from the lower front part of the kettle body 1. Through this design, in the event of a tipping over, the kettle with its rearward shifted center of gravity effectively directs the water inside to the rear, preventing water from flowing forward from the outlet 41 on the spout section 4 or one end of the steam pipe 3.
[0030] The aforementioned center of gravity shift is specifically configured as follows: a counterweight 5 is installed on the rear side of the base 2; the center of gravity of the steam pipe anti-tipping electric kettle is shifted to the rear and lower side.
[0031] For the positioning and receiving part of the steam pipe 3 and the kettle body 1, the structure of this utility model is set as follows: a support frame 6 is positioned on the upper front side of the kettle body 1, and a pipe port 61 is set in the horizontal direction on the support frame 6. One end of the steam pipe 3 is connected to the support frame 6 through the pipe port 61 and positioned therein; a steam collection port 62 is set on the support frame 6, and the steam collection port 62 is located in the center of the support frame 6 and is opened vertically; one end of the steam pipe 3 is set corresponding to the steam collection port 62.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, modifications can still be made to the embodiments without departing from the implementation principle of the present utility model, and the corresponding modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
