Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electric kettle structure, and more particularly to an electric kettle locking structure. Background Technology

[0002] Electric kettles, as a common household appliance, are widely used for supplying hot water in daily life. Their basic structure typically consists of two parts: the kettle body and the base. The kettle body connects to a power source via the base to heat water. In existing technology, the connection between the kettle and the base is mostly a simple plug-in type, where the bottom of the kettle mates with the socket on the top of the base, secured by gravity or a slight latch. However, this connection method poses certain safety hazards, especially during use. Due to improper operation or external force, the kettle may accidentally detach from the base, causing hot water to splash out and posing a risk of scalding. To address these issues, some improved connection structures have emerged on the market, such as using threaded engagement or magnetic attraction to enhance the connection's stability. However, these methods are either cumbersome to operate, expensive, or still cannot completely prevent accidental detachment in certain situations. Therefore, designing a locking structure that ensures a secure connection while being easy to operate has become an important issue in the field of electric kettle technology. Utility Model Content
