Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettle technology, and in particular to an electric kettle with display prompts. Background Technology

[0002] An electric kettle typically consists of a kettle and a base, with a coupler between them for power connection. Water is naturally placed inside the kettle, and when the power is turned on, the coupler energizes the heating element at the bottom of the kettle, heating the water inside. Nowadays, electric kettles have become an indispensable household appliance. As people's living standards continue to improve, their demands for the quality of electric kettles are also increasing.

[0003] Common kettles are typically made of glass or metal. Glass kettles are transparent, allowing you to clearly see the water remaining inside, but they are fragile and relatively weak. Metal kettles are less prone to damage, but you can't clearly see the water level. High-end electric kettles often use metal kettles. However, with existing metal kettles, you can't directly see the remaining water level; you need to open the lid to check, resulting in a less than ideal user experience. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-5As shown, an electric kettle with display prompts includes a base 1, a kettle assembly 2 placed on the base 1, and a lid assembly 3 covering the kettle assembly 2. A coupler 4 is provided on the base 1, and a connector 5 adapted to the coupler 4 is provided at the bottom of the kettle assembly 2. The kettle assembly 2 is placed above the coupler 4, and electrical connection between the base 1 and the kettle assembly 2 is achieved through contact between the coupler 4 and the connector 5. The base 1 is equipped with a display module 7 for displaying the water temperature and water level inside the kettle assembly 2, and a button module 6 for control. A control panel 8 is located inside the base 1. The kettle assembly 2 contains a heating module 9 and a temperature sensing chip 10 for detecting water temperature. The temperature sensing chip 10, heating module 9, control panel 8, button module 6, and display module 7 are electrically connected. Users can quickly and conveniently know the water temperature and water level inside the kettle assembly 2 through the display module 7, and can know the remaining water level without removing the lid assembly 3, providing a good user experience in daily use.

[0025] The display module 7 includes a temperature display panel 31 and a water level display panel 32 located on the surface of the base 1, and a water level monitoring chip 33 disposed in the kettle assembly 2. The temperature sensor chip 10 detects the water temperature in the kettle assembly 2 and transmits an electrical signal to the control panel 8. After processing by the control panel 8, the data is transmitted to the temperature display panel 31, allowing the user to clearly understand the internal water temperature and whether the water needs to be reheated before drinking. The water level detection chip 33 detects the water level in the kettle assembly 2 and transmits an electrical signal to the control panel 8. After processing by the control panel 8, the data is transmitted to the water level display panel 32, where it is displayed as a water level pattern. The user can clearly understand the internal water level, and the water level detection chip 33 can provide real-time feedback on the water level to the water level display panel 32 when adding water, making it convenient for the user to add water to the appropriate level.

[0026] The base 1 is also equipped with a water pumping module 22. The bottom of the kettle assembly 2 is equipped with a water inlet 23 that connects to the water pumping module 22. After the water pumping module 22 is started, external water flows into the kettle assembly 2 through the water pumping module 22 and the water inlet 23. There is no need to manually lift the kettle assembly 1 to fill it with water. The water can be automatically replenished by pressing the button module 6, which meets the convenience of daily use for users.

[0027] The water pumping module 22 includes at least two water pumps 24 connected in series, an inlet pipe 25 exposed on one side of the base 1 and connected to the water pumps 24, and a guide pipe 26 located at the center of the coupler 4. The guide pipe 26 corresponds to the position of the water inlet 23. External water enters the kettle assembly 1 sequentially through the inlet pipe 25, the water pumps 24, and the guide pipe 26 for water replenishment. Traditional water pumps occupy a large volume, which requires the base 1 to be thick to accommodate the water pumps. If the water pump is small, the water pumping efficiency may be low, resulting in a slow water replenishment speed in the kettle. This design replaces the traditional water pump with multiple water pumps connected in series, reducing the height of the water pumps without affecting the water pumping efficiency. Therefore, the base 1 can be manufactured thinner, with a higher aesthetic appeal. The thinner base 1 also makes it easier for users to place the kettle assembly 2 on the base 1, saving more effort.

[0028] The water inlet 23 includes a water inlet channel 27 located at the bottom of the kettle assembly 2 and a one-way valve 28 provided on the water inlet channel 27. When the water pump is turned on, the one-way valve 28 is opened by water pressure to allow water to enter. After the water supply is completed, the one-way valve 28 is closed, and the water inside the kettle assembly 2 cannot flow back through the one-way valve 28.

[0029] The kettle assembly 2 includes an outer shell 11, an inner shell 12, a spout 13 on one side, and a handle 14 on the other side. The user grips the handle 14 and tilts the entire kettle assembly 2 to pour water, which gradually flows out along the path of the spout 13. The double shell design of the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12 helps to increase heat preservation performance and prevent the temperature of the water inside from dropping too quickly over time.

[0030] The inner shell 12 has several water outlet holes 15 on the side near the spout 13. When pouring water, the water inside enters the spout 13 through the water outlet holes 15, which avoids pouring out too much water at once and helps to control the amount of water poured.

[0031] The lid assembly 3 includes an upper cover 16, a lower cover 17, and a handle 18 installed at the center of the upper cover 16. The lid assembly 3 can be picked up by gripping the handle 18. The outer edge of the upper cover 16 is provided with a raised limiting step 19 to abut against the opening of the kettle assembly 2. When the lid assembly 3 is closed, the lower cover 17 is inside the kettle assembly 2. The raised limiting step 19 on the outer edge abuts against the lower cover to prevent the lid assembly 3 from falling into the kettle assembly 2.

[0032] The gap between the recessed side of the lower cover 17 and the inner shell 12 forms a venting zone 20. The upper cover 16 is provided with a venting hole 21, which is located above the venting zone 20. When boiling water, the water vapor generated inside first enters the venting zone 20 and then exits through the venting hole 21, preventing the internal air pressure from being too high and opening the cover assembly 3.

[0033] The button module 6 includes a boiling water button and a water adding button. Pressing the boiling water button starts or stops the heating module 9, and pressing the water adding button starts the water pumping module 22 to continue water supply.

[0034] The heating module 9 includes a heating wire, which heats the water in the kettle assembly 2 by means of electric heating.

[0035] The base 1 has four recessed mounting grooves 30 on its lower edge areas. Anti-slip elements 29 are installed in the mounting grooves 30 to increase friction and prevent slippage. By designing the mounting grooves 30 to be recessed, the anti-slip elements 29 are partially located inside the mounting grooves 30 and partially exposed after installation, further reducing the overall thickness of the base 1.

[0036] The kettle assembly 1 includes a metal kettle assembly. The metal material has a textured feel and is relatively hard, making it less prone to breakage.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
