Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettle technology, and in particular to a novel electric kettle. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electric kettles, such as the Chinese utility model patent CN202410546148.9, disclose a health-preserving kettle, including a heating kettle body comprising a glass body, a microcrystalline glass plate, a sealing ring, and a fixing ring. The bottom edge of the glass body is bent inward to form a first bent edge, and the first bent edge is bent downward to form a second bent edge. The microcrystalline glass plate is disposed at the bottom of the glass body. The sealing ring is placed on the first bent edge, and the fixing ring is placed on the sealing ring and located on the outer side of the second bent edge. The fixing ring, sealing ring, and second bent edge together form a first adhesive groove, and the fixing ring and microcrystalline glass plate together form a second adhesive groove. The problem is that the bottom of the kettle body requires multiple bends to install the fixing ring and sealing ring, thereby fixing the microcrystalline glass plate. This requires significant time and labor costs in manufacturing and installation. Furthermore, if the fixing ring does not fit well with the kettle body, the kettle is prone to exploding during use, which is detrimental to user safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a new type of electric kettle.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel electric kettle includes a base and a kettle adapted to be installed therewith, wherein the kettle and the base are electrically connected by a coupler; the kettle includes a kettle body and a heating plate, the heating plate and the coupler are electrically connected, the kettle body has a bottom surface, the heating plate has an adhesive surface, an adhesive is provided between the bottom surface and the adhesive surface, and the bottom surface and the adhesive surface are bonded and fixed by the adhesive.

[0006] Furthermore, the adhesive surface is a plane, and when the adhesive comes into contact with the adhesive surface, it is evenly spread over the adhesive surface.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper surface of the adhesive surface is provided with several grooves, and the adhesive fills the grooves and is evenly spread on the adhesive surface.

[0008] Furthermore, the bonding surface is made of aluminum with a thickness of 2mm-5mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface is polished into a flat surface through precision machining, and when the adhesive comes into contact with the bottom surface, it is evenly spread on the bottom surface.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom surface is made through rough processing, and there are several concave surfaces on the bottom surface. When the adhesive comes into contact with the bottom surface, the adhesive fills the concave surfaces until it is flush with the bottom surface, and then evenly spreads over the bottom surface to make full contact with it.

[0011] Furthermore, the adhesive is a one-component, methanol-free, room-temperature curing, thermally conductive silicone sealant.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the adhesive layer should be 0.1mm-2mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the coupler is a temperature-sensitive coupler.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The kettle body and heating plate are installed using a faster and more efficient method than traditional techniques. They are bonded to the bottom of the kettle body with adhesive. Traditional methods typically require a groove in the bottom of the kettle body, secured with clamps to fix the heating plate. This method is complex, requires significant labor costs, and is prone to cracking due to overly tight clamps. Alternatively, the heating plate can be inserted into the kettle body and sealed at the bottom opening. This method is prone to leaks due to poor sealing and damage to the opening edges during production and installation, resulting in a high scrap rate. Compared to these methods, this invention offers significant differences and advantages, enabling rapid production and installation while reducing losses during production and installation.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1-4 , Figures 6-8As shown, a new type of electric kettle, specifically a countertop-type health-preserving kettle, includes a base 5 and a kettle 10 that is fitted and installed therewith. Specifically, the kettle 10 and base 5 are installed separately, with the kettle 10 mounted on top of the base 5 for easy access by the user. The base 5 provides positioning and support for the kettle 10. The kettle 10 and base 5 are electrically connected via a coupler 6. Specifically, the coupler 6 includes a coaxially mounted male end and a female end. The male end is fixed to the bottom of the kettle 10 with screws, and the female end is fixed to the base 5 at the corresponding position of the male end with screws. The fitting of these two ends electrically connects the kettle 10 to the base 5, enabling heating and heat preservation of the kettle 10. The coupler 6 is a temperature-sensing coupler, integrating a temperature sensor probe within the coupler; its commercially available model is KSD588-2. Furthermore, the base 5 has a control panel 7 that is electrically connected to various electrical components.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the kettle 10 includes a kettle body 1 and a heating plate 2. A coupler 6 is fixed to the heating plate 2 with screws. A bottom shell 13 is installed at the bottom of the kettle body 1, surrounding the heating plate 2 and the coupler 6, providing support and protection. The bottom shell 13 is fixed to the coupler 6 with screws. It should be noted that in this invention, the kettle body 1 is a glass kettle, specifically made of high borosilicate glass, which has high-temperature resistance and can withstand temperature differences from -20℃ to 220℃. Furthermore, due to its superior manufacturing process and impact resistance compared to ordinary glass, it can be made into a thinner and more durable glass kettle.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the kettle body 1 has a bottom surface 11, and the heating plate 2 has an adhesive surface 21. The bottom surface 11 and the adhesive surface 21 are positioned opposite each other, and an adhesive 3 is provided between the bottom surface 11 and the adhesive surface 21, which are then bonded and fixed together. Specifically, there are three ways to achieve this: first, the adhesive 3 is placed on the adhesive surface 21 and then bonded and fixed to the bottom surface 11; second, the adhesive 3 is placed on the bottom surface 11 and then bonded and fixed to the adhesive surface 21; third, the adhesive 3 is placed on both the bottom surface 11 and the adhesive surface 21, and then the two are bonded and fixed together. Specifically, the adhesive 3 is a single-component, methanol-free, room-temperature curing, thermally conductive silicone sealant.

[0037] Furthermore, to ensure a stronger bond between the adhesive surface 21 and the bottom surface 11, the amount of adhesive 3 used is set to a thickness of 0.1mm-2mm. Specifically, in this invention, a thickness of 1mm is preferred, which ensures better adhesion between the adhesive surface 21 and the bottom surface 11 while saving on the amount of adhesive 3 used. It also avoids excessive use of adhesive 3, which would slow down the drying process and thus affect production efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, since the heating plate 2 can easily cause injury to people during operation and the high temperature can easily damage surrounding objects, the outer diameter of the adhesive surface 21 is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom surface 11. The adhesive surface 11 covers the bottom surface 11. In other words, the heating plate 2 covers the bottom of the kettle body 1 to heat or keep the kettle body 1 warm. The bottom shell 13 surrounds the heating plate 2 to prevent accidental injury during use, and at the same time protects the heating plate 2 and the coupler 6 from external damage.

[0039] Furthermore, the larger the contact area between the adhesive surface 21 and the bottom surface 11, the higher its heating efficiency. The outer diameter of the adhesive surface 21 is equal to the outer diameter of the bottom surface 11, so that the adhesive surface 21 can completely cover the bottom surface 11. In other words, the heating plate 2 covers the bottom of the pot body 1 to heat or keep the liquid in the pot body 1 warm.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the adhesive surface 21 is a flat surface, which is formed by processing and polishing. When the adhesive 3 comes into contact with the adhesive surface 21, it is easier to spread evenly on the adhesive surface 21, which facilitates its bonding and installation with the bottom surface 11.

[0041] Furthermore, since aluminum is lightweight, has good heat retention and thermal conductivity, the bonding surface 21 is made of aluminum with a thickness of 2mm-5mm. A thicker surface provides better heat retention and conductivity, meaning the water in the kettle body 1 boils faster, but it also increases weight. Therefore, this invention uses a 4mm thick bonding surface 21, which ensures both heat retention and thermal conductivity while maintaining a lighter overall weight for convenient daily use. It also avoids the situation where an excessively thick bonding surface 21 would result in an overly heavy heating plate 2, requiring more adhesive 3 to ensure stable installation and reducing production costs.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the bottom surface 11 is polished into a flat surface through fine processing, and when the adhesive 3 comes into contact with the bottom surface 11, it is easier to spread evenly on the bottom surface 11.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the kettle body 1 has an opening at the top, and a spout 16 protruding outwards is provided on the outer edge of the opening for easy pouring. A lid 14 is detachably installed at the opening of the kettle body 1. The lid 14 fits the kettle body 1, and several anti-slip protrusions 15 are provided around the circumference of the lid 14 to increase the friction between the lid 14 and the kettle body 1, so that the lid 14 is less likely to fall off when the user pours water.

[0044] Furthermore, the kettle 10 is equipped with a handle 17, which is installed on one side of the kettle 10 and fixed to the kettle 10, making it convenient for users to pick up and put down, and avoiding direct contact with the kettle body 1 to prevent burns.

[0045] Furthermore, the base 5 is equipped with an air inlet 52 and an air outlet 53 for ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0046] Furthermore, the base 5 is provided with an overflow port 54, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the cavity 51 and the other end is connected to the outside, so that the liquid entering the cavity 51 can be discharged through the overflow port 54.

[0047] Implementation Method Two:

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the adhesive surface 21 is provided with a plurality of grooves 22. When the adhesive 3 comes into contact with the adhesive surface 21, it first fills the grooves 22 and then is evenly distributed on the adhesive surface 21. Because of the grooves 22, the contact area between the adhesive 3 and the adhesive surface 21 is larger, which is beneficial to enhance the bonding strength between the adhesive 3 and the adhesive surface 21.

[0049] Furthermore, the groove 22 is arranged coaxially in a ring shape and its radius increases in a stepped manner, covering the adhesive surface 21.

[0050] Furthermore, the adhesive 3 fills the groove 22 and covers the adhesive surface 21 with a thickness of 1 mm to enhance the bonding strength between the adhesive 3 and the adhesive surface 21.

[0051] Implementation Method 3:

[0052] like Figure 9 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the kettle body 1 is roughly machined, and its bottom surface 11 does not require a fine-finishing process after production. Therefore, its bottom surface 11 has several uneven concave surfaces 12. When the adhesive 3 comes into contact with the bottom surface 11, the concave surfaces 12 are first filled with the adhesive 3 to make the bottom surface 11 flat. Then, the adhesive 3 is spread all over the bottom surface 11, ensuring that the adhesive 3 is in complete contact with the bottom surface 11 while maintaining the bonding strength to the kettle body 1. This helps to save processes and labor, while not affecting the heat conduction effect.

[0053] Furthermore, the adhesive 3 fills the concave surface 12 and covers the bottom surface 11 with a thickness of 1 mm to enhance the bonding strength between the adhesive 3 and the bottom surface 11.

[0054] Implementation Method Four:

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, unlike embodiment one, the base 5 has an upper-opening cavity 51. The outer diameter of the cavity 51 is adapted to the inner diameter of the kettle 10, so that the kettle 10 can be fitted and installed in the cavity 51. The periphery of the cavity 51 has a limiting effect on the kettle 10, which facilitates the quick positioning and installation of the kettle 10 into the base 5.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. All technical solutions that those skilled in the art can obtain based on the concept of the present utility model and on the basis of the prior art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
