Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses an electric kettle, which includes a heating base 1, a kettle body 2 disposed on the upper side of the heating base 1, and a heating end face 11 disposed on the upper side of the heating base 1 as the bottom of the kettle body 2; a knob control structure 3 is disposed on the outer periphery of the heating base 1. The knob control structure 3 includes: an electronic board 31, an encoder controller 32 electrically connected to the electronic board 31, and a knob component 34 that is rotated and electrically connected to the encoder controller 32. A digital display 35 is disposed between the encoder controller 32 and the knob component 34, and the digital display 35 is electrically connected to the electronic board 31.

[0024] A temperature sensing element (not shown in the figure) is provided on the upper side of the heating end face 11, and the temperature sensing element is electrically connected to the electronic board 31; a heating assembly 12 is provided on the lower side of the heating end face 11, and the heating assembly 12 is electrically connected to the electronic board 31.

[0025] Its application principle is as follows:

[0026] Based on the knob control structure 3, the knob 34 can be linked to the encoder controller 32 for program-based control using existing technology. The associated electronic board 31 controls the heating assembly 12 to heat the heating surface 11 at the target preset temperature set by rotating the knob 34. A temperature sensing element extends from the heating surface 11 to sense the water temperature inside the kettle 2 in real time. When the water temperature reaches the target preset temperature, it sends a feedback signal to the electronic board 31 to control the heating assembly 12 to stop heating, thus completing the heating operation to reach the target temperature.

[0027] To more intuitively display the preset temperature target, a digital display 35 is installed at the knob control structure 3 in this electric kettle application. The digital display 35 receives control information provided by the electronic board 31 and displays the control information of the electronic board 31 on the digital display 35. This allows the digital display 35 to show information such as the currently preset target temperature and the water temperature information inside the kettle as known by the current temperature sensing element, so that the user can obtain clear display information at the knob control structure 3.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the electric kettle body 2 and heating base 1 are structurally configured as follows:

[0030] A power interface 13 is provided on the outer periphery of the rear end of the heating base 1. The power receiving end of the power interface 13 faces outward, and the power supply end of the power interface 13 is located inside the heating base 1 and electrically connected to the heating assembly 12 and the electronic board 31. An installation opening 10 is provided on the outer periphery of the front end of the heating base 1 for mounting the knob control structure 3.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, the knob control structure 3 is specifically configured as follows:

[0032] The knob control structure 3 includes an electronic board 31, an encoder controller 32, a knob bracket 33, and a knob component 34, which are sequentially assembled from back to front (from the inside of the heating base 1 to the outside). A mounting bracket 14 is provided inside the heating base 1. The electronic board 31 is positioned and mounted on the mounting bracket 14. The knob component 34 is adapted to be mounted on the mounting opening 10 and is located outside the heating base 1. A digital display 35 is positioned and mounted on the knob bracket 33. The encoder controller 32 is electrically connected to the electronic board 31, the knob component 34 is electrically connected to the encoder controller 32, and the digital display 35 is electrically connected to the electronic board 31. When the knob component 34 is rotated, the encoder controller 32 records the rotation action of the knob component 34 and sends an electrical signal to the electronic board 31. The electronic board 31 feeds back the electrical signal to the digital display 35 for numerical display. The display position on the digital display 35 faces forward and outward from the heating base 1.

[0033] Specifically, the electronic board 31 has a connection end on its rear side for electrically connecting the heating component 12, the temperature sensing element, and the power supply end of the plug-in interface 13; the encoding controller 32 is cylindrical in shape and includes a mounting section 321 that is positioned and electrically connected to the front end face of the electronic board 31, and a movable section 322 that is sleeved and electrically connected to the outside of the mounting section 321; the knob bracket 33 includes a mounting section 331 on the rear side and a support section 332 on the front side. The mounting section 331 is connected to and positioned inside the cylinder of the encoding controller 32 (inside the mounting section 321), and the support section 332 is provided with a support space 333 for the installation and positioning of the digital display 35; the knob 34 is electrically contacted and assembled to the outside of the cylinder of the encoding controller 32 (positioned and fastened to the outside of the movable section 322); the electronic board 31, the encoding controller 32, the knob bracket 33, and the knob 34 are coaxially arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0034] The knob 34 includes a connecting section 341 located at the rear and a control section 342 located at the front. The connecting section 341 is positioned and fastened to the outside of the movable section 322 to form a control assembly of the knob 34 for the encoder controller 32. The control section 342 is arranged around and positioned to support the outer periphery of the support section 332 and is adapted to be installed on the mounting opening 10, located outside the heating base 1.

[0035] The user can rotate the control section 342 to control the movable section 322 of the encoder controller 32 to rotate around the mounting section 321 relative to the axis. The rotation of the movable section 322 triggers the encoder controller 32 to write control information and send a feedback signal to the electronic board 31. After receiving the signal, the electronic board 31 sends the feedback information to the digital display 35 through a preset encoding program, displaying the corresponding control information changes, so as to realize the linkage between the user controlling the heating action of the electric kettle with the knob 34 and the information display on the digital display 35.

[0036] A power switch 311 is provided on the front side of the electronic board 31 for controlling the power on / off of the electric kettle. The encoder controller 32 has a movable guide groove 323 along its front-to-back direction. The knob bracket 33 is mounted in the movable guide groove 323, allowing it to move back and forth relative to the encoder controller 32. When the knob bracket 33 moves to the bottom of the movable guide groove 323, its rear end presses against the power switch 311 to perform a pressing operation. The power switch 311 is a flexible button structure.

[0037] Normally, when the power switch is in the untriggered state, it elastically rests against the knob bracket 33, positioning the knob bracket 33 at the front end of the movable guide groove 323. When the user pushes the knob bracket 33 to activate the power switch 311, causing the switch to start or stop, the knob bracket 33 returns to its original position when the elastic power switch 311 is pushed back. The transparent window 36 is made of flat, transparent plastic, and its design also provides a basis for user-controlled operation.
