Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electric kettle, and more particularly to an electric kettle that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] Patent CN218738380U discloses a heating plate assembly structure for an all-glass electric kettle, comprising: a kettle body, which is integrally made of all-glass; a kettle shell, fitted onto the bottom of the kettle body; and a heating plate disposed inside the kettle shell. The outer circumferential surface of the kettle body and the inner circumferential surface of the kettle shell form an inner / outer and upper / lower fastening structure. The top surface of the heating plate is positioned opposite the bottom surface of the kettle body to heat the bottom of the kettle body. The inner / outer and upper / lower fastening structure includes a recessed portion surrounding the side wall of the kettle body and a protruding portion surrounding the inner wall of the kettle shell, with the recessed portion and the protruding portion fastened together. An annular mounting groove is also provided on the outer wall of the kettle shell, and a fastening band is provided in the mounting groove.

[0003] The above-mentioned technology uses the concave and convex fit between the body of the pot and the outer shell of the pot, and then fastens them with fastening straps. To a certain extent, it does firmly combine the body of the pot and the outer shell of the pot. However, from the perspective of actual assembly, the setting of fastening straps undoubtedly increases the installation process, and there is room for improvement in the ease of installation.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the spring sheet also includes a welding part, which is adjacent to the lower end of the inclined part and is welded to the inner wall of the groove.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a flexible gasket is provided on the outer surface of the spring sheet, and the flexible gasket is pressed between the spring sheet and the kettle body.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the spring pieces are spaced around the sidewall of the groove, the flexible gasket is annular and sleeved on the groove, and the flexible gasket covers the spring pieces.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the flexible pad includes a main body and a flanged part, with a gap between the main body and the flanged part, and the upper end of the groove is engaged in the gap.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the flexible gasket is made of silicone or rubber.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a boss is provided at the bottom of the pot body. The boss is adapted to the groove and inserted into the groove. The diameter of the boss is smaller than the diameter of the pot body, and the recess is provided on the side wall of the boss.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the spring is made of stainless steel.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting several spring pieces on the side wall of the groove, the kettle body can be directly inserted into the heating base during assembly. The spring pieces on the side wall of the groove engage with the recess of the kettle body, thereby fixing the kettle body and the heating base together. No additional fastening straps are required, reducing the installation process and making installation convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An easy-to-install electric kettle includes a kettle body 1 and a heating base 2. A heating plate 24 is installed inside the heating base 2. After assembly, the heating plate 24 abuts against the bottom of the kettle body 1 via a spring and transfers heat to the kettle body 1. The heating base 2 has a groove 21 into which the kettle body 1 is inserted. A recess 111 is provided at the lower end of the kettle body 1. Several spring tabs 22 are provided on the side wall of the groove 21, and the spring tabs 22 engage with the recess 111. During assembly, the kettle body 1 is simply inserted directly into the base. After insertion, the spring tabs 22 elastically engage with the recess 111, thus fixing the kettle body 1 and the heating base 2 together. No fastening straps are needed, reducing installation steps and simplifying installation.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the spring piece 22 is made of high-strength stainless steel, which can effectively hold the heating base 2 onto the kettle body 1 and prevent it from easily falling off.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the spring piece 22 includes a guide portion 221 located at the upper end of the spring piece 22. The lower end of the guide portion 221 is inclined towards the central axis of the groove 21. The pot body 1 is inserted into the groove 21 along the guide portion 221, further facilitating installation. The guide portion 221 may be an inclined surface or a curved surface.

[0030] In some embodiments, the spring piece 22 further includes an inclined portion 222 adjacent to the lower end of the guide portion 221. The lower end of the inclined portion 222 is inclined away from the central axis of the groove 21 (i.e., the inclined direction of the inclined portion 222 is opposite to that of the guide portion 221). The inclined portion 222 and the guide portion 221 together form a pointed protrusion, which engages within the recess 111. The inclined portion 222 may be a slope or a curved surface.

[0031] In some embodiments, the spring piece 22 further includes a welding portion 223, which is adjacent to the lower end of the inclined portion 222 and welded to the inner wall of the groove 21. The upper end of the spring piece 22 is a free end (not fixed to the inner wall of the groove 21) and can move with the compression of the protrusion. The welding portion 223 may be plate-shaped or three-dimensional.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a flexible pad 23 is provided on the outer surface of the spring piece 22. The flexible pad 23 is pressed between the spring piece 22 and the kettle body 1. The flexible pad 23 plays a buffering role, avoiding direct contact between the spring piece 22 and the kettle body 1, reducing wear on the kettle body 1, and reducing the risk of the kettle body 1 breaking.

[0033] In some embodiments, the spring pieces 22 are evenly spaced around the inner sidewall of the groove 21, and the flexible gasket 23 is annular (also called a flexible washer) and sleeved on the upper end of the groove 21, and the flexible gasket 23 covers the spring pieces 22.

[0034] In some embodiments, the flexible pad 23 includes a main body portion 231 and a flange portion 232, with a gap between the main body portion 231 and the flange portion 232, and the upper edge of the groove 21 is engaged within the gap.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the flexible pad 23 is made of silicone or rubber, preferably silicone.

[0036] In some embodiments, a boss 11 is provided at the bottom of the pot body 1. The boss 11 is adapted to and inserted into the groove 21. The diameter of the boss 11 is smaller than the diameter of the pot body 1. The recess 111 is provided on the side wall of the boss 11.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
