Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettle technology, specifically to a kettle with a touch-screen digital display. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of smart home technology, the functions of traditional electric kettles are gradually upgrading from simple heating to intelligent and interactive features. Currently, some electric kettles on the market have adopted touch controls to replace traditional mechanical buttons, in order to improve user experience and the product's technological feel.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent ZL201922305490.7 (publication number CN211380835U), entitled "Control Panel Component and Kitchen Appliance," discloses a kitchen appliance with a control panel component on its outer casing. The control panel component includes a mounting shell, a circuit board, and a touch panel. The mounting shell has multiple latches, and the touch panel has multiple claws corresponding to the latches. The touch panel is snapped onto the mounting shell, forming a space between them that accommodates the circuit board. The control panel is fixed to the outer casing via a mounting opening. The mounting opening has folded grooves for limiting the latches, and the touch panel also has limiting heads corresponding to these grooves. When the touch panel is closed over the mounting opening, the limiting heads are inserted into the limiting grooves. However, the following problems exist during use: First, the snap-fit ​​design of the control panel components results in relatively poor structural strength. Once the electric kettle is subjected to external impact, it will loosen, thus affecting its use. Second, the control panel components need to be fixed to the kettle body through the mounting shell. The double-layer structure makes the control panel components complex and inconvenient to install.

[0004] Therefore, further improvements are needed to the kettle with a touch-screen digital display. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a kettle with a touch-screen digital display structure that has high structural strength, simple structure and convenient installation, in light of the above-mentioned existing technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: the kettle with a touch digital display screen structure includes a kettle body and a touch component. The kettle body has a partially concave interior forming an accommodating space for installing the touch component. The touch component includes at least a circuit board, a fixing bracket disposed on the inner side of the circuit board, and a cover plate disposed on the outer side of the circuit board. The fixing bracket fixes the touch component to the kettle body as a whole by means of adhesive or fasteners.

[0007] For ease of fixation, preferably, a key is welded to the outer surface of the accommodating space. The key has a first insertion portion, and the fixing frame has a mating portion. The mating portion has a second insertion portion. The first and second insertion portions allow a second fixing member to pass through and lock inwards. The key is fixed within the accommodating space of the kettle body, the mating portion engages with the key, and the second fixing member fixes the touch control component to the kettle body by passing through the first and second insertion portions.

[0008] For ease of insertion and mating, preferably, the code portion is partially folded outward to form a latching tongue. The first insertion portion is disposed on the latching tongue, the mating portion is a slot, and the second insertion portion is disposed at the bottom of the slot. The latching tongue can be inserted into the slot. Specifically, the latching tongue is partially protruding outward, allowing it to be inserted into the slot for a tight fit.

[0009] To improve stability, preferably, at least two of each of the code, mating part, and second fixing member are provided, with each component corresponding to the other. Each code, mating part, and second fixing member is arranged vertically at intervals, concentrating the entire weight of the touch component on the mating code, mating part, and second fixing member. Using multiple sets of these components ensures the stability of the touch component.

[0010] To facilitate fixation, the following method can be adopted: a mounting groove is formed by a partial indentation on the outer side of the accommodating space, a first fixing member is provided on the mounting groove, and a slot hole is provided on the fixing frame for the first fixing member to pass through and be clamped. The accommodating space is partially indented relative to the body of the kettle, and the mounting groove is also partially indented relative to the outer side of the accommodating space. One side of the first fixing member is welded into the mounting groove to maintain fixation with the body of the kettle, while the other side of the first fixing member passes through the slot hole to the outside of the fixing frame, thereby achieving clamping and fixing of the entire touch component.

[0011] Furthermore, the first fixing member is U-shaped overall, comprising a first segment and a second segment spaced apart, with a bent segment connecting the two segments. The first segment is fixed within the mounting groove, and the second segment and the bent segment pass through the groove and are bent into shape under the action of an external tool to achieve clamping. Before installation, the second segment and the bent segment are on the same straight line and perpendicular to the first segment. The first segment is welded into the mounting groove, and the second segment and the bent segment pass through the groove and are bent into shape under the action of an external tool, resulting in the first fixing member having a U-shape overall. This first fixing member exhibits high rigidity and effectively achieves clamping.

[0012] To improve stability, preferably, two first fixing members are provided and arranged vertically at intervals, and correspondingly, the slots are also arranged vertically at intervals. There are two sets of first fixing members and slots, which are respectively fixed to the upper and lower ends of the fixing frame, thereby making the connection between the fixing frame and the kettle body more secure.

[0013] To facilitate fixation, the following method can also be adopted: a groove is provided on the outer surface of the accommodating space, the groove including a first groove that can be filled with adhesive to fix the kettle body to the fixing frame. The first groove can be filled with adhesive to fix the fixing frame and the kettle body. Compared with traditional mechanical fixing, adhesive fixing can avoid local stress concentration, reduce the number of parts, and simplify the structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the first groove is elongated and spaced apart from each other on the left and right. The groove also includes at least two second grooves that are circular holes disposed between the first grooves. The inner side of the fixing frame is provided with protrusions that mate with each of the second grooves. The first groove is filled with adhesive, which allows the fixing frame to be fixed to the pot body. Simultaneously, the mating of the second grooves with the protrusions makes the connection between the pot body and the fixing frame more stable.

[0015] To improve safety, aesthetics, and durability, preferably, a light shield, a light-transmitting panel, a sealing ring, and a decorative panel are arranged sequentially from the inside out between the circuit board and the cover plate. The electric kettle's button or touch control relies on an optical sensor; the light shield blocks some stray light, preventing accidental triggering. The light-transmitting panel serves to visualize signals and facilitate user interaction, marking the touch area and indicating the validity of the operation through backlighting. The sealing ring, through embedded installation, prevents steam from entering the circuit board area, achieving waterproofing and moisture protection, and avoiding short circuits or corrosion. The decorative panel conceals the internal wiring and components of the touch assembly, making the electric kettle more aesthetically pleasing overall.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by setting a fixing frame between the kettle body and the circuit board, and fixing the fixing frame to the kettle body by fasteners or adhesives, the entire touch component is directly fixed to the kettle body. The touch component is firmly connected to the kettle body, the structure is simple and the installation is convenient. Attached Figure Description
