[0042] Example embodiments now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments, however, can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the figures, and thus description of the same will be simplified or omitted.

[0043] In the related art, the heating state of an electric kettle is generally indicated by indicator lights on the electric kettle. Two indicator lights are generally provided, one at the heating button and the other at a position opposite the heating button. When the electric kettle is in a heating state, both indicator lights are lit at the same time. When the electric kettle stops heating, both indicator lights are extinguished at the same time, thereby prompting the user of the heating state of the electric kettle.

[0044] However, even if the number of indicator lights is set to two, the visual range of the indicator lights is still small, making it difficult for the user to intuitively understand the heating progress and state of the electric kettle. For example, the user needs to frequently bend over, or get close to observe, or turn the placement angle of the electric kettle multiple times to know the state of the indicator lights, reducing the convenience of use for the user.

[0045] The present application provides an electric kettle, which increases the visual range of the indicator lights, so that the user can more intuitively understand the heating state of the electric kettle.

[0046] Embodiments of the electric kettle of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a three-dimensional structural schematic of the electric kettle provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 What is shown is Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the exploded structure of a Zhongdian kettle; Figure 3 What is shown is Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the bottom shell of the electric kettle; Figure 4 What is shown is Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the light guide bracket of the Zhongdian kettle; Figure 5 What is shown is Figure 1 The front view of the electric kettle.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides an electric kettle, including: kettle body 100 and kettle bottom 200.

[0049] The kettle body 100 has a water storage cavity 101 for holding cold water to be heated. The kettle body 100 is also equipped with a handle 110 for easy handling by the user.

[0050] The kettle bottom 200 includes a bottom shell 210 and a light-emitting part 220. The light-emitting part 220 is disposed inside the bottom shell 210 and is used to indicate the heating status of the electric kettle. The bottom shell 210 is provided with a light-transmitting part 213, which extends along the circumferential direction of the bottom shell 210. The central angle α corresponding to the extension length of the light-transmitting part 213 satisfies: 90°≤α≤360°.

[0051] Using the technical solution of this embodiment, the light-emitting part 220 can light up when the electric kettle is heating and turn off when the electric kettle stops heating. The light generated by the light-emitting part 220 can pass through the light-transmitting part 213 and diffuse out of the bottom shell 210. The user can know the heating status of the electric kettle by observing the brightness of the light-transmitting part 213.

[0052] Since the central angle α corresponding to the extension length of the light-transmitting part 213 satisfies 90°≤α≤360°, that is to say, the range of the light-transmitting part 213 covers at least 1 / 4 of the outer perimeter of the bottom shell 210, increasing the visibility range of the light-transmitting part 213. Users can observe the heating status of the electric kettle at normal usage distance and angle, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

[0053] In addition, adding a light-transmitting part 213 to the bottom 200 of the kettle and increasing the visibility range of the light-transmitting part 213 can also improve the aesthetics and recognizability of the electric kettle.

[0054] For example, the central angle α can be 90°, 100°, 135°, 150°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 300°, 360° or any value between any two of the above.

[0055] Further, in order to increase the display range of the light-transmitting portion 213, the central angle a can satisfy 180°≤a≤350°. When the central angle a is greater than or equal to 180°, that is, the range of the light-transmitting portion 213 covers at least half of the outer circumference of the bottom shell 210, the visual range of the light-transmitting portion 213 can be effectively increased. When the central angle a is less than or equal to 350°, it is helpful to reserve space for other electronic components.

[0056] Further preferably, the central angle a can satisfy 270°≤a≤350°, so that the display range of the light-transmitting portion 213 covers at least 3 / 4 of the outer circumference of the bottom shell 210.

[0057] Exemplarily, the central angle a can be 270°, 280°, 290°, 300°, 310°, 320°, 330°, 340°, 350°, 360°, or any value between any two adjacent values.

[0058] Specifically, as shown, the kettle bottom 200 further comprises a temperature control assembly 230, which comprises a heating button 231 exposed to the bottom shell 210. A user can press the heating button 231 to start the heating function of the electric kettle.

[0059] The light-transmitting portion 213 has opposite first and second ends in the circumferential direction of the bottom shell 210. At least one of the first end of the light-transmitting portion 213 and the second end of the light-transmitting portion 213 is arranged close to the heating button 231, which is helpful to further increase the visual range of the light-transmitting portion 213.

[0060] Preferably, both the first end of the light-transmitting portion 213 and the second end of the light-transmitting portion 213 are arranged close to the heating button 231, so as to further improve the visual range of the light-transmitting portion 213.

[0061] It should be noted that “the first end of the light-transmitting portion 213 is arranged close to the heating button 231” can mean that the first end of the light-transmitting portion 213 is arranged immediately adjacent to the heating button 231, or that the first end of the light-transmitting portion 213 has a predetermined distance from the heating button 231. It can be understood that the predetermined distance should be less than 1 / 8 of the circumference of the base.

[0062] Correspondingly, “the second end of the light-transmitting portion 213 is arranged close to the heating button 231” has the same meaning as “the first end of the light-transmitting portion 213 is arranged close to the heating button 231”, which will not be described here.

[0063] The specific structure of the light guide bracket 240 will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] As Figure 4As shown, the electric kettle further comprises a light guide support 240, and the light emitting part 220 is connected to the light guide support 240, and the light guide support 240 is used to conduct the light generated by the light emitting part 220 to the light transmission part 213.

[0065] The light guide support 240 is used to mount the light emitting part 220, and can uniformly transmit the light generated by the light emitting part 220 to the light transmission part 213, so that the light seen by the user is more uniform and soft, which helps to improve the user's experience. At the same time, it can also improve the aesthetics of the electric kettle when heating.

[0066] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the light guide support 240 extends along the circumferential direction of the bottom shell 210, and the light guide support 240 has a first end and a second end in the circumferential direction of the bottom shell 210, and a disconnection gap 245 is formed between the first end of the light guide support 240 and the second end of the light guide support 240. Because of the disconnection gap 245, the light guide support 240 has a "C" shaped structure as a whole, and during the assembly of the light guide support 240 and the bottom shell 210, the light guide support 240 can be squeezed to shrink the light guide support 240, so as to reduce the outer contour of the light guide support 240, so that it can be smoothly assembled into the bottom shell 210.

[0067] The specific structure of the bottom shell 210 and the light guide support 240 will be described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0068] Figure 5 As shown in Figure 1 the front view of the electric kettle of the present application; Figure 6 As shown in Figure 5 the A-A cross-sectional view of the electric kettle of the present application;

[0069] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6 , the bottom shell 210 comprises a bottom plate 211 and a first vertical plate 212 arranged along the circumferential direction of the bottom plate 211, and the light transmission part 213 comprises a light transmission opening arranged on the first vertical plate 212, which can ensure the light transmission effect of the light emitting part 220.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the light guide support 240 comprises a support plate 241 and a second vertical plate 242 arranged along the circumferential direction of the support plate 241, and the support plate 241 is used to carry the light emitting part. The mounting protrusion 243 is arranged on the second vertical plate 242, and the mounting protrusion 243 extends into the light transmission opening and is stopped from rotating with the wall of the light transmission opening, so as to realize the stable assembly of the light guide support 240 and the bottom shell 210. For example, when the light guide support 240 rotates relative to the bottom shell 210, the wall of the light transmission opening can stop the mounting protrusion 243, thereby achieving the effect of stopping rotation.

[0071] In addition, the light guide support 240 and the light transmission port are in plug-in cooperation, which can improve the aesthetics of the electric kettle.

[0072] Further, with continued reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the mounting protrusion 243 includes a plurality of outer protruding ribs 2431 arranged in the circumferential direction of the second vertical plate 242, and the light transmission port includes a plurality of sub light transmission ports 2131 arranged in cooperation with the plurality of outer protruding ribs 2431, and each outer protruding rib 2431 extends into a sub light transmission port 2131.

[0073] The plurality of mounting protruding ribs and the plurality of sub light transmission ports 2131 are in plug-in cooperation, which can improve the assembly stability of the light guide support 240 and the base. At the same time, this plug-in cooperation can also improve the aesthetics and recognition of the electric kettle.

[0074] As shown in Figure 4 , the outer protruding rib 2431 can be provided as a strip-shaped rib extending in the height direction of the electric kettle, and adjacent two strip-shaped ribs have a spacing therebetween.

[0075] Figure 9 shown, the second vertical plate 242 includes a plurality of outer protruding ribs 2431 arranged in the circumferential direction of the second vertical plate 242, and the light transmission port includes a plurality of sub light transmission ports 2131 arranged in cooperation with the plurality of outer protruding ribs 2431, and each outer protruding rib 2431 extends into a sub light transmission port 2131. Figure 9

[0076] Of course, in other embodiments, the outer protruding rib 2431 can also be provided as a rectangle, a diamond, a circle, or other geometric shapes to increase the aesthetics and recognition of the electric kettle, which are not listed one by one here.

[0077] It should be noted that the light guide support 240 can be formed by injection molding. In order to further improve the light guide property of the light guide support 240, a light diffuser can be added to the injection molding material of the light guide support 240 to improve the light guide capability of the light guide support 240 and achieve the effect of soft light.

[0078] The light guide support 240 can be transparent or translucent, and the light guide support 240 can also be opaque in light color such as white to ensure the transmission effect of light.

[0079] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the light emitting portion 220 includes a plurality of lamp beads 221 arranged in series, and the plurality of lamp beads 221 are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction of the bottom shell 210, which can improve the uniformity of light, so that the light brightness observed by the user from different angles is uniform and stable, thereby improving the user experience.​

[0080] Further, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the lamp bead 221 includes a light-emitting column, and the axis of the light-emitting column extends along the tangent direction of the light-transmitting part 213. If the light-emitting column is arranged along the radial direction of the light-transmitting part 213, the illumination effect is mainly provided by the range of light diffusion to the surrounding, but the brightness of the diffused light decays greatly, and it is easy to form a bright-dark uneven effect at the light-transmitting part 213. If it is necessary to ensure the uniformity of light emission, the number of lamp beads 221 needs to be increased. In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 , the axis of the light-emitting column extends along the tangent direction of the light-transmitting part 213, and the irradiation direction of the light-emitting column is shown as D1. The linear irradiation range of the light-emitting column is utilized, and the linear irradiation distance is greater than the diffusion distance of light, so that the uniform light emission effect can be achieved by using fewer lamp beads 221.

[0081] Exemplarily, the number of lamp beads 221 can be 3-8.

[0082] In order to further improve the light emission uniformity of the light-emitting part 220, a plurality of lamp beads can also be arranged staggered in the height direction of the electric kettle. For example, the mounting heights of two adjacent lamp beads can be different, so as to improve the light emission uniformity of the light-emitting part 220 in the height direction of the electric kettle.

[0083] Figure 7 The cross-sectional view of the electric kettle of Figure 1 is shown; Figure 8 The cross-sectional view of the electric kettle of Figure 1 is shown. As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the electric kettle 10 further includes a heating assembly 250, and the heating assembly 250 is arranged in the bottom shell 210. The light guide support 240 further includes a third vertical plate 244 arranged at the inner edge of the support plate 241, and the third vertical plate 244 is arranged between the heating assembly 250 and the light-emitting part 220. The third vertical plate 244 can separate the heating assembly and the light-emitting part 220, so as to reduce the temperature rise of the light-emitting part, and help to prolong the service life of the light-emitting part.

[0084] In order to improve the brightness of the light-transmitting part 213, a light-reflecting layer can also be arranged on the third vertical plate 244, and the light-reflecting layer can reflect the light generated by the light-emitting part 220 to the light-transmitting part 213.

[0085] It should be further pointed out that the kettle bottom 200 and the kettle body 100 can be fixedly connected, and the heating assembly 250 is arranged in the bottom shell 210, that is, the heating assembly 250 is built-in in the electric kettle.

[0086] Of course, in other embodiments, the electric kettle can also be provided in a split form including the kettle body 100 and the heating base, and the light-transmitting portion 213 can also be provided on one of the kettle body 100 and the heating base, so that the central angle a corresponding to the extension length of the light-transmitting portion 213 satisfies 90°≤a≤360°.
