Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of kitchen home appliances, especially to a convenient electric hot water bottle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most of the traditional electric hot water bottles do not have a visual function, so users cannot intuitively check the use of water in the electric hot water bottle, which is inconvenient to use and has a poor user experience. To meet the needs of users, a type of electric hot water bottle with a visual function has appeared on the market. This type of electric hot water bottle has a transparent window on the bottle body, and users can understand the use of water in the electric hot water bottle through the transparent window. However, the actual observation is not clear because the internal light is low and the water is transparent. In addition, placing a transparent window on the bottle body will affect the overall appearance of the electric hot water bottle, resulting in a poor user experience. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a convenient electric hot water bottle to solve the technical problem of poor visual effect and overall appearance of existing electric hot water bottles, and poor user experience.

[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the utility model provides a convenient electric hot water bottle, which comprises an outer shell and an inner container with a containing cavity in the outer shell. A water level detection tube is vertically arranged outside the inner container and communicates with the inner container. The top of the water level detection tube communicates with the containing cavity or the atmosphere. A plurality of liquid level sensors are vertically and spaced apart on the water level detection tube and electrically connected to the control system. The control system comprises a control panel arranged on the surface of the outer shell, and the control panel is provided with a liquid level display area. By arranging the water level detection tube communicating with the inner container outside the inner container, and vertically and spaced apart on the water level detection tube a plurality of liquid level sensors electrically connected to the control system, the use of water in the inner container can be detected and displayed more intuitively through the control panel for the user to check, and the problem of poor overall appearance caused by the transparent window can be avoided, effectively improving the user experience.

[0005] In an optional embodiment, the top of the water level detection tube is provided with an opening adapted to communicate with the atmosphere. By arranging the opening at the top of the water level detection tube to communicate with the atmosphere, the air pressure in the water level detection tube can be balanced to ensure the accuracy of the water level display and improve the user experience.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, a mounting plate constituting at least part of the wall of the water level detection tube is detachably arranged on the water level detection tube, a plurality of mounting holes matched with the liquid level sensor are arranged on the mounting plate, and the liquid level sensor is adapted to be mounted on the mounting plate through the mounting holes. By detachably mounting the mounting plate on the water level detection tube, the liquid level sensor can be mounted on the mounting plate first, and then the mounting plate is mounted on the water level detection tube, thereby reducing the difficulty of mounting the liquid level sensor.

[0007] In an optional embodiment, an annular flange extending outward from the liquid level sensor is arranged on one side of the liquid level sensor, and a fixing member sleeved on the liquid level sensor is arranged on the other side, and the annular flange and the fixing member are adapted to abut against the side walls of the water level detection tube on both sides of the mounting hole. The annular flange and the fixing member are adapted to limit and fix the liquid level sensor. By limiting and fixing the liquid level sensor through the annular flange and the fixing member, the liquid level sensor can be prevented from being detached from the water level detection tube, and the connection stability of the liquid level sensor and the water level detection tube can be ensured, thereby effectively improving the performance stability of the electric kettle.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the annular flange is adapted to be arranged in the water level detection tube, a sealing member sleeved on the liquid level sensor is arranged between the annular flange and the inner wall of the water level detection tube, and the annular flange is adapted to abut against the periphery of the mounting hole of the inner wall of the water level detection tube through the sealing member. By arranging the sealing member between the annular flange and the inner wall of the water level detection tube, the liquid level sensor and the water level detection tube can be sealingly connected, thereby effectively preventing the water in the water level detection tube from leaking from the connection between the water level detection tube and the liquid level sensor, and effectively ensuring the performance stability and use safety of the electric kettle.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, a limiting groove recessed outward and matched with the annular flange is arranged around the mounting hole on the inner wall of the water level detection tube, and the annular flange is adapted to be arranged in the limiting groove. The limiting groove is adapted to limit and / or position the mounting of the liquid level sensor. By limiting and / or positioning the mounting of the liquid level sensor through the limiting groove, the difficulty of mounting the liquid level sensor can be reduced, and the liquid level sensor can be prevented from shaking left and right during installation, thereby effectively ensuring the connection stability of the liquid level sensor and the water level detection tube.

[0010] In one optional embodiment, the control panel is adapted to be located on the top front side of the outer casing, and the top of the control panel is adapted to be flush with the top plane of the outer casing. This arrangement not only facilitates user viewing and operation, effectively improving user convenience, but also enhances the overall aesthetics of the electric water bottle, effectively improving the user experience.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the bottom of the receiving cavity of the inner liner is provided with a connecting port to the water level detection tube. A filter screen with through holes is provided at the connecting port, and the filter screen is adapted to cover the connecting port. By providing the filter screen with through holes at the connecting port, impurities in the water can be filtered and blocked while ensuring water flow, thus preventing impurities from entering the water level detection tube and affecting the liquid level sensor inside the water level detection tube. This effectively ensures the performance stability and detection accuracy of the liquid level sensor.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the water level detection tube is adapted to be located adjacent to and parallel to the inner tank. This arrangement not only reduces the space occupied by the water level detection tube, but also reduces the overall volume of the electric water bottle, facilitating storage and transportation.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the liquid level sensor is suitable as a capacitive liquid level sensor, a smart liquid level sensor, or a conductive liquid level sensor. Capacitive liquid level sensors, smart liquid level sensors, and conductive liquid level sensors all have good liquid level detection capabilities. By using capacitive liquid level sensors, smart liquid level sensors, or conductive liquid level sensors as the liquid level sensors of the electric water bottle, the electric water bottle can better detect the liquid level inside the inner liner, ensuring the accuracy of liquid level detection and effectively improving the user experience.

[0020] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0022] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.

[0024] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," and "above" are used here to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation besides the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0025] Furthermore, it should be noted that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more," meaning that in one embodiment, the quantity of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the quantity of the element can be one or more. The term "a" should not be construed as a limitation on the quantity. The use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, these terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The diagram shown is a schematic of a convenient electric water bottle provided by this utility model. The electric water bottle includes an outer shell 10, an inner liner 20 with a receiving cavity 21 disposed in the outer shell 10, and a heating component communicating with the inner liner 20. The inner liner 20 is suitable for storing water, and the heating component is suitable for heating the water in the inner liner 20 to form hot water for the user.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in an optional embodiment, a water level detection tube 30 is provided outside the inner liner 20 and is vertically arranged in communication with the inner liner 20. The top of the water level detection tube 30 is preferably connected to the receiving cavity 21. A plurality of liquid level sensors 40 are vertically spaced on the water level detection tube 30. In the electric thermos, the liquid level sensors 40 are adapted to detect the water level in the water level detection tube 30. By vertically arranging the water level detection tube 30 and connecting it to the receiving cavity 21, the water level in the water level detection tube 30 can be kept consistent with the water level in the receiving cavity 21. At this time, the liquid level obtained by the liquid level sensor 40 in the water level detection tube 30 is the liquid level in the receiving cavity 21. This arrangement not only simplifies the structure of the inner liner 20, but also ensures the accuracy of liquid level detection.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer casing 10 contains a control system 50 electrically connected to the liquid level sensor 40. The control system 50 includes a control circuit electrically connected to the liquid level sensor 40 and a control panel 51 electrically connected to the control circuit and disposed on the surface of the outer casing 10. The control panel 51 has a liquid level display area 511, which can display the liquid level in the water level detection tube 30. By setting the water level detection tube 30 communicating with the inner liner 20 outside the inner liner 20, and vertically arranging multiple liquid level sensors 40 electrically connected to the control system 50 at intervals on the water level detection tube 30, the usage of water in the inner liner 20 can be detected and displayed more intuitively through the control panel 51 for easy viewing by the user. This also avoids the problem of poor overall aesthetics caused by setting a transparent window, effectively improving the user experience.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the water level detection tube 30 has an opening 31 at its top, which is adapted to connect with the atmosphere. By providing the opening 31 at the top of the water level detection tube 30 to connect with the atmosphere, the air pressure inside the water level detection tube 30 can be balanced, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the water level display and effectively improving the user experience.

[0030] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, the water level detection tube 30 is detachably provided with a mounting plate 32 that forms at least a portion of the tube wall. The mounting plate 32 has a plurality of mounting holes 321 that match the liquid level sensor 40. The liquid level sensor 40 is adapted to be mounted on the mounting plate 32 through the mounting holes 321. By detachably mounting the mounting plate 32 to the water level detection tube 30, the liquid level sensor 40 can be mounted on the mounting plate 32 first, and then the mounting plate 32 can be mounted on the water level detection tube 30, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the liquid level sensor 40.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the liquid level sensor 40 on one side of the mounting hole 321 is provided with an annular flange 41 extending outward from the liquid level sensor 40, and a fixing member 42 sleeved on the other side is provided. The annular flange 41 and the fixing member 42 are adapted to abut against the sidewalls of the water level detection tube 30 on both sides of the mounting hole 321, respectively. The annular flange 41 and the fixing member 42 are adapted to limit and fix the liquid level sensor 40. By limiting and fixing the liquid level sensor 40 with the annular flange 41 and the fixing member 42, it is possible not only to prevent the liquid level sensor 40 from falling off the water level detection tube 30, but also to ensure the connection stability between the liquid level sensor 40 and the water level detection tube 30, effectively improving the performance stability of the electric water bottle.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the annular flange 41 is adapted to be located inside the water level detection tube 30. A sealing element 43, which is sleeved on the liquid level sensor 40, is provided between the annular flange 41 and the inner wall of the water level detection tube 30. The annular flange 41 is adapted to abut against the periphery of the mounting hole 321 on the inner wall of the water level detection tube 30 through the sealing element 43. By clamping the sealing element 43 between the annular flange 41 and the inner wall of the water level detection tube 30, a sealed connection between the liquid level sensor 40 and the water level detection tube 30 can be achieved, effectively preventing water in the water level detection tube 30 from leaking out from the connection between the water level detection tube 30 and the liquid level sensor 40, thereby preventing damage to the electrical components inside the outer casing 10 or pollution of the external environment, and effectively ensuring the performance stability and safety of the electric water bottle.

[0033] like Figure 4As shown, in an optional embodiment, the inner wall of the water level detection tube 30 is provided with a limiting groove 322 that is recessed outward and matches the annular flange 41 around the mounting hole 321. The annular flange 41 is adapted to be disposed within the limiting groove 322. The limiting groove 322 is adapted to limit the installation of the liquid level sensor 40. By limiting the installation of the liquid level sensor 40 through the limiting groove 322, the lateral wobbling of the liquid level sensor 40 during installation can be avoided, effectively ensuring the connection stability between the liquid level sensor 40 and the water level detection tube 30. At the same time, the limiting groove 322 is adapted to position the installation of the liquid level sensor 40. By positioning the installation of the liquid level sensor 40 through the limiting groove 322, the installation difficulty of the liquid level sensor 40 can be effectively reduced.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown. In an optional embodiment, the control panel 51 is adapted to be located on the top front side of the housing 10, and the top of the control panel 51 is adapted to be flush with the top plane of the housing 10. This arrangement not only facilitates user viewing and operation, effectively improving user convenience, but also enhances the overall aesthetics of the electric water bottle, effectively improving the user experience.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the bottom of the receiving cavity 21 of the inner liner is provided with a connecting port 22 that connects to the water level detection tube 30. A filter screen 23 with through holes is provided at the connecting port 22, and the filter screen 23 is adapted to cover the connecting port 22. By providing the filter screen 23 with through holes at the connecting port 22, impurities in the water can be filtered and blocked while ensuring water flow, thus preventing impurities from entering the water level detection tube 30 and affecting the liquid level sensor 40 inside the water level detection tube 30. This effectively ensures the performance stability and detection accuracy of the liquid level sensor 40.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the water level detection tube 30 is adapted to be arranged adjacent to and parallel to the inner liner 20. This arrangement reduces the space occupied by the water level detection tube 30, thereby reducing the overall volume of the electric water bottle for easier storage and transportation.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the liquid level sensor 40 is adapted to be a capacitive liquid level sensor, a smart liquid level sensor, or a conductive liquid level sensor. Capacitive liquid level sensors, smart liquid level sensors, and conductive liquid level sensors all have good liquid level detection capabilities. By using capacitive liquid level sensors, smart liquid level sensors, or conductive liquid level sensors as the liquid level sensor 40 of the electric water bottle, the electric water bottle can better detect the liquid level inside the inner liner 20, ensuring the accuracy of liquid level detection and effectively improving the user experience.

[0038] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this utility model. The purpose of this utility model has been fully and effectively achieved. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of this utility model described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the scope of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of patent protection defined by the claims submitted herein.
