[0024] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the present invention provides a switchable power electric kettle, comprising a kettle body 1, a heating element, a power switching mechanism, and a power supply mechanism. The heating element is disposed at the lower part of the kettle body 1, and the heating element is connected to the power supply mechanism through the power switching mechanism.
[0026] The power switching mechanism includes a mounting bracket 3, a sliding switch 2, a branch conductive plate 7, a first circuit 6, a second circuit 4, and a regulator 5. The mounting bracket 3 is mounted on the kettle body 1. The sliding switch 2 is slidably connected to the upper part of the mounting bracket 3. The branch conductive plate 7 is mounted on the lower part of the mounting bracket 3. One side of the branch conductive plate 7 is connected to the power supply mechanism, and the other side of the branch conductive plate 7 is provided with two elastic pressure plates 8. One elastic pressure plate 8 is arranged opposite to the first circuit 6, and the other elastic pressure plate 8 is arranged opposite to the second circuit 4. The first circuit 6 is connected to the heating element, and the second circuit 4 is connected to the heating element through the regulator 5. Both the first circuit 6 and the second circuit 4 are connected to the mounting bracket 3.
[0027] The lower part of the sliding switch 2 is provided with two staggered pressing protrusions 9, one of the pressing protrusions 9 and one of the elastic pressure plates 8 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In the actual water boiling process, drinking water can be poured into the kettle body 1, and then power is supplied through the power supply mechanism. The current flows through the branch conductive plate 7 to an elastic pressure plate 8 and reaches the first line 6. The heating element is powered through the first line 6, and then the drinking water is heated by the heating element. When it is necessary to switch the water boiling power, the sliding switch 2 can be slid. The sliding switch 2 releases the pressure on one elastic pressure plate 8 through the staggered pressing protrusions 9 and presses the other elastic pressure plate 8, and connects the other elastic pressure plate 8 to the second line 4. Then the current flows through the other elastic pressure plate 8 to the second line 4, and the output voltage is adjusted by the regulator 5. Then the adjusted current supplies power to the heating element.
[0029] Furthermore, each of the elastic pressure plates 8 is provided with a force-bearing protrusion.
[0030] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial for the pressing protrusion 9 to better squeeze the elastic pressure plate 8 through the force-bearing protrusion, so that the elastic pressure plate 8 is connected to the first line 6 or the second line 4.
[0031] Furthermore, it also includes an elastic limiting component, which is provided at the lower part of the sliding switch 2, and the elastic limiting component is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 3;
[0032] The elastic limiting component includes a return spring 11 and a ball bearing 10. The lower part of the sliding switch 2 is provided with a limiting groove. The ball bearing 10 is movably connected to the inside of the limiting groove. The ball bearing 10 is connected to the lower part of the sliding switch 2 through the return spring 11. Both sides of the mounting bracket 3 are provided with a scale groove, and the ball bearing 10 is slidably connected to the scale groove.
[0033] As can be seen from the above description, it is beneficial for the sliding switch 2 to drive the ball 10 to move when it moves. When the ball 10 reaches the top of the scale groove, the ball 10 is pushed into the scale groove by the return spring 11, so that the sliding switch 2 will not move arbitrarily. The impact vibration of the ball 10 when it is in the scale groove provides feedback to the user. At the same time, the limiting groove prevents the ball 10 from falling off the sliding switch 2.
