Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to an electric kettle for high-altitude areas. Background Technology
[0002] The high-altitude electric kettle is an electric kettle specially designed for the low-pressure environment of high altitudes. By optimizing the heating power, temperature control system and structural design, it ensures that it can boil water efficiently and safely in high-altitude areas and adapt to the lower boiling point of water.
[0003] The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure, and the lower the boiling point of water. High-altitude electric kettles artificially pressurize the air pressure inside the kettle to approach or reach the standard atmospheric pressure (100 kPa), thereby raising the boiling point to about 100°C. They usually use spiral or embedded heating elements, with a power higher than ordinary electric kettles (above 2000W), to quickly raise the water temperature.
[0004] In existing technologies, if water is forgotten to be added or the water level is too low, the electric kettle will continue to heat up, causing the kettle body to dry out and the temperature of the heating element to rise sharply. This may cause the plastic parts to melt, the circuit to short-circuit, or even catch fire. Therefore, a high-altitude electric kettle is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an electric kettle for high-altitude areas, aiming to improve the problem of danger caused by failure to respond promptly to power outages in the existing technology.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The storage assembly includes a protective shell, the bottom of which is movably connected to the bottom of the kettle body. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell, and a limiting spring is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing block. An electric wire is fixedly connected to the other end of the limiting spring.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The kettle body is fixedly connected to an outlet, and the wire is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outlet.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The outer side of the wire is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell, and the outer side of the limiting spring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the bearing plate, and a positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate. The inner wall of the positioning plate is slidably connected to the outside of the connecting plate.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The outer side of the support plate is provided with a sliding groove, and the outer side of the baffle is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove;
[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0019] A water outlet is fixedly connected to the outside of the kettle body, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outside of the kettle body;
[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0021] The top of the kettle body is movably connected to a top cover, and a switch is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover.
[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. In this utility model, when the water temperature reaches the set value, the controller will immediately cut off the power to stop heating and activate the automatic protection mechanism. At this time, the controller drives the connecting column to move downward. Through the linkage between the connecting plate and the clamp, the baffle rises smoothly along the slide groove, completely sealing the water outlet and effectively preventing hot water from accidentally flowing out and causing scalding. This mechanical linkage design ensures the reliability and timeliness of the water blocking action.
[0024] 2. In this utility model, after use, the user only needs to pull the wire lightly, and the limiting spring inside the protective shell will start to store energy. After the wire is released, under the action of the elastic restoring force of the limiting spring, the wire will be smoothly and orderly retracted into the protective shell through the guide of the fixing block. This automatic wire retraction mechanism not only keeps the environment clean, but more importantly, it avoids the tripping hazard that may be caused by the wire falling. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Working principle: When the water temperature reaches the set value, the controller 4 will immediately cut off the power to stop heating and activate the automatic protection mechanism. At this time, the controller 4 drives the connecting column 3 to move downward. Through the linkage between the connecting plate 5 and the clamp 8, the baffle 9 rises smoothly along the slide 10, completely sealing the water outlet 17 and effectively preventing hot water from accidentally flowing out and causing scalding. This mechanical linkage design ensures the reliability and timeliness of the water blocking action.
[0041] After use, the wire 14 automatically retracts into the protective shell 11 under the elastic restoring force of the limiting spring 13. This process is smoothly retracted by the guiding action of the fixing block 12, avoiding the wire 14 from falling and causing tripping hazards. It is especially suitable for families with children. The entire system, through the cooperation of precise mechanical structure and intelligent control, ensures safe and reliable operation in high-altitude environments.
