[0002] A kettle is a common water container, which generally includes a kettle body, a base, and a light-emitting ring assembly set between the kettle body and the base. Existing light-emitting ring assemblies generally include a light-transmitting ring and several LEDs spaced apart within the light-transmitting ring. However, since LEDs are point light sources, their illumination range is limited. When used in electric kettles, they have drawbacks such as uneven illumination, poor light effect, and complex installation, leaving room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to overcome the defects in the prior art by providing a light-emitting ring assembly with a simple and reasonable structure. It uses a light strip as the light source and the cross-sectional shape of the light strip is semi-circular. The outer wall of the light-transmitting ring opposite to the light strip is arc-shaped. This makes the light emitted by the light-emitting ring assembly uniform and the light effect consistent throughout the ring, resulting in good light emission and easy installation. At the same time, an electric kettle with the above-mentioned light-emitting ring assembly also has the above-mentioned effects.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a light-emitting ring assembly, which is disposed between the pot body and the base, including a light-transmitting ring and a light strip. The bottom surface of the light-transmitting ring is provided with an annular groove, and the light strip is embedded in the annular groove of the light-transmitting ring. The cross-sectional shape of the light strip is a semi-circular structure and its arc surface is arranged outward. The outer wall of the light-transmitting ring and the arc surface of the light strip are opposite to each other and have an arc surface structure.

[0005] The light-transmitting ring is further configured such that: the top wall of the light-transmitting ring has a top plate extending into the ring hole, and the top plate is provided with an insertion groove communicating with the annular groove, the width of the annular groove being adapted to the width of the light strip, and the width of the insertion groove being at least twice the width of the light strip.

[0006] A further provision is made: at least one side wall of the insertion groove and / or annular groove is provided with an anti-disengagement buckle.

[0007] Further configuration: The light-transmitting ring is made of PC material.

[0008] The light-transmitting ring is further configured to have a stepped structure with a smaller top and a larger bottom.

[0009] This utility model also provides an electric kettle, including a kettle body, a base, and a light-emitting ring assembly clamped and fixed between the kettle body and the base. The bottom of the kettle body is provided with a heating plate and the kettle body is provided with a temperature sensing component. The base is provided with a control board that is signal-connected to the temperature sensing component and the light-emitting ring assembly. The control board controls the light-emitting ring assembly to emit different lights according to the working status of the kettle or the temperature value fed back by the temperature sensing component.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has a simple and reasonable structure. The light-emitting ring assembly uses a light strip as the light source and the cross-sectional shape of the light strip is a semi-circular structure. The outer wall of the light-transmitting ring opposite to the light strip is an arc surface structure. This makes the light emitted by the light-emitting ring assembly uniform and the light effect of the whole ring consistent, resulting in good light emission effect. Similarly, the electric kettle with the light-emitting ring assembly also has the above effect. Users can better observe the color of the light emitted by the light-emitting ring assembly to know the status of the electric kettle or the water temperature. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The following describes a specific embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment.

[0017] This utility model provides a light-emitting ring assembly 10, such as... Figure 1As shown, the light-transmitting ring 11 and the light strip 12 are included. The bottom surface of the light-transmitting ring 11 is provided with an annular groove 111. The light strip 12 is embedded in the annular groove 111 of the light-transmitting ring 11. The cross-sectional shape of the light strip 12 is semi-circular and its arc surface is arranged outward. The outer wall of the light-transmitting ring 11 and the arc surface of the light strip 12 are respectively arc surface. This utility model uses the light strip 12 as the light source and its cross-sectional shape is semi-circular. At the same time, the outer wall of the light-transmitting ring 11 and the light strip 12 are also arc surface. This makes the light transmitted by the light-emitting ring assembly 10 uniform and the lighting effect of the whole ring consistent.

[0018] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top wall of the light-transmitting ring 11 has a top plate 112 extending into the annular hole. The top plate 112 is provided with an insertion groove 113 communicating with the annular groove 111. The width of the annular groove 111 is adapted to the width of the light strip 12. The width of the insertion groove 113 is at least twice the width of the light strip 12. The light strip 12 is encircled in the annular groove 111 of the light-transmitting ring 11, and both ends of the light strip 12 are placed in the insertion groove 113. In this way, the light strip 12 can be securely embedded in the light-transmitting ring 11 and can be easily connected to the control board 31. Preferably, at least one side wall of the insertion groove 113 and / or the annular groove 111 is provided with an anti-disengagement buckle 114, so that the light strip 12 can be more securely embedded in the annular groove 111 of the light-transmitting ring 11.

[0019] In this embodiment, the light-transmitting ring 11 is made of PC material and its cross-sectional shape is a stepped structure with a smaller top and a larger bottom.

[0020] This utility model also provides an electric kettle having the above-mentioned light-emitting ring assembly 10, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the kettle includes a body 20, a base 30, and a light-emitting ring assembly 10 clamped and fixed between the body 20 and the base 30. The bottom of the body 20 has a heating plate 21 for heating the water inside the body 20. The body 20 also has a temperature sensing component for detecting the water temperature. The base 30 has a control board 31 that is connected to the temperature sensing component and the light-emitting ring assembly 10. The control board 31 controls the light-emitting ring assembly 10 to emit different lights according to the working status of the kettle or the temperature value fed back by the temperature sensing component. In this way, the user can know the status of the electric kettle or the water temperature inside by the color of the light emitted by the light-emitting ring assembly 10. For example, the light-emitting ring assembly 10 emits blue light when the water temperature is 30℃ or below; green light when the water temperature is 30℃-70℃; yellow light when the water temperature is 70℃-95℃; and red light when the water temperature is 100℃.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has a simple and reasonable structure. The light-emitting ring assembly uses a light strip as the light source and the cross-sectional shape of the light strip is a semi-circular structure. The outer wall of the light-transmitting ring opposite to the light strip is an arc surface structure. This makes the light emitted by the light-emitting ring assembly uniform and the light effect of the whole ring consistent, resulting in good light emission effect. Similarly, the electric kettle with the light-emitting ring assembly also has the above effect. Users can better observe the color of the light emitted by the light-emitting ring assembly to know the status of the electric kettle or the water temperature.

[0022] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely examples of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
