Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to a multifunctional water tray and an electric kettle. Background Technology

[0002] Existing kitchen electric heaters (such as electric kettles, water dispensers, coffee machines, etc.) all have a drip tray (or drip box) under the faucet for placing cups or brewing pots to hold water, and also to prevent water from spilling and wetting the table or floor. However, current drip trays only have the above functions and lack electronic control functions, such as temperature setting, light color changing, and function selection. These electronic control functions are located on the heater body, resulting in a large overall size of the heater body while the drip tray has only one function. This is mainly because in the current technology, the electrical connection between the drip tray and the heater body is difficult to handle. If the heater body is connected to the drip tray by connecting wires, the drip tray and the heater body must be fixedly connected, making the drip tray and the heater body an integrated structure. The disadvantages of this are: 1. When there is water in the drip tray, it is difficult to empty and clean; the entire heater body must be tilted to drain the water, which is inconvenient; 2. It occupies a lot of space during transportation and storage. While designing the drip tray to be detachably connected to the heater body via a snap-fit ​​or plug-in method solves the short-term problem of inconvenient water emptying, this detachable connection not only makes the connecting wires difficult to remove but also negatively impacts the circuitry when the tray is removed. This can lead to broken wires or loose solder joints, resulting in high maintenance costs. Furthermore, this mechanical snap-fit ​​or plug-in connection method is laborious to insert and remove, and can easily cause water to spill from the tray. Therefore, current drip trays only function as water receivers and reservoirs, making it difficult to incorporate electronic control functions.

[0003] In addition, existing electric heaters generally have two types of temperature control structures: one is a mechanical knob temperature control, which uses a gear set to adjust the temperature. This structure is highly sensitive to position; even a slight difference in position or height can cause the gears to slip and prevent temperature adjustment, resulting in high production costs. The second type uses an electronic button structure for temperature control. Users manually press the heating or cooling switch once to raise or lower the temperature by one degree. This intermittent pressing method is slow and lacks innovation in operation.

[0004] Therefore, the existing electric heaters and drip trays need further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems and shortcomings by providing a multifunctional water tray that combines the water receiving and storage functions of existing water trays with circuit control capabilities, making it extremely convenient to use. In particular, it provides a water tray with a novel human-machine interface, allowing users to adjust the temperature and lighting by sliding their fingers across the tray. The temperature can be quickly and accurately adjusted to a specific value to meet the user's water temperature requirements in different situations, and the operation is simple and innovative.

[0006] Based on this, a further objective of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional water receiving tray that can be detachably connected to an electric heater and detachably connected to its circuitry via magnetic attraction.

[0007] A further objective of this invention is to provide an electric kettle with a multifunctional water tray. A further objective is to provide an electric kettle that allows for a detachable connection of the water tray to the heater and a detachable circuit via magnetic attraction.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: The multifunctional water receiving tray of this utility model includes a tray body and a support base disposed on the tray body. The support base is used for placing water containers and receiving water. The support base is also provided with a water collection tank for storing accumulated water. Its feature is that the tray body is also provided with an electronic control adjustment device and a power switch connected to a power main controller. The power main controller is disposed in the tray body or in an external electric heater. Through the cooperation of the electronic control adjustment device and the power main controller, the electronic control function settings of the electric heater connected to the water receiving tray or the electronic control function settings of the water receiving tray can be realized.

[0009] The electronically controlled regulating device can be an electronically controlled function selection device for setting functions, or an electronically controlled temperature control device for setting temperatures. Preferably, the electronically controlled temperature control device is a sliding temperature control device. This sliding temperature control device includes a touch module connected to the main power controller circuit, a display and / or a temperature control indicator light, and a touch-sensitive sliding temperature control area that cooperates with the touch module. When a finger slides on the touch-sensitive sliding temperature control area, the water temperature inside the heater connected to the plate or the water temperature inside the water container is set through the cooperation of the touch module and the main power controller. The display shows the set temperature, and the temperature control indicator light shows different light colors to indicate different temperatures set by the touch sliding.

[0010] The touch module is a capacitive touch module (also called a touch sensing chip). Its sliding touch principle is a device that uses touch operations to achieve information input and control. Specifically, it utilizes the capacitance characteristics of the human body, detecting the user's touch operation through capacitive sensing, and adjusting the brightness or temperature of the lights based on the touch signal. For example, when a finger touches the screen of the touch sliding temperature adjustment area, it changes the capacitance value of the touch area, and this capacitance change is detected by the touch sensing chip. The touch sensing chip converts the detected capacitance change into an electrical signal, amplifies it, and processes it. The processed electrical signal can be used to control the brightness and temperature changes of the lights (temperature adjustment indicator). When used for temperature adjustment, the power main controller receives the electrical signal sent by the touch sensing chip, sets the input temperature information, and transmits it to the display and / or light display.

[0011] The specific shape of the touch-sensitive sliding temperature-adjusting area can be determined according to the user's needs. For example, the touch-sensitive sliding temperature-adjusting area can be formed into a circular touch area, an arc-shaped touch area, or a straight strip-shaped touch area. Preferably, the touch-sensitive sliding temperature-adjusting area is elongated and is located on the upper surface of the disc body and on the outer side of the support. More preferably, it is an arc-shaped elongated area.

[0012] The support can be a sunken concave seat located in the middle of the plate, the inner cavity of which forms a water collection tank. Alternatively, the support can include a sunken water storage chamber located in the middle of the plate and a support plate with several water passage holes detachably installed on the upper part of the water storage chamber. The support plate is used to support the water receiving container and to lower the water into the water collection tank.

[0013] The temperature control indicator light is a light strip installed at the touch-sensitive sliding temperature control area; the upper surface of the light strip forms the touch screen of the touch-sensitive sliding temperature control area, or a light-transmitting dustproof plate is provided above the light strip, which forms the touch screen of the touch-sensitive sliding temperature control area. Preferably, the light strip is a straight or curved light strip with an inverted T-shaped cross-section. The upper surface of the disk shell is provided with a mounting groove for installing the light strip and exposing its upper end. The disk body is also provided with a pressure cover that reliably fixes the touch module and the light strip together to the inner surface of the shell.

[0014] The tray can be fixedly connected to the heater or detachably connected via an electrical connector. Preferably, the electrical connector is a magnetic connector that allows for a detachable structural and electrical connection between the tray and the heater. This magnetic connector includes a first magnetic connector located on the side of the tray, and a corresponding second magnetic connector on the heater. The first magnetic connector includes a first interface seat, a first magnetic block mounted on the first interface seat, and a conductive hole. The conductive hole is electrically connected to an electronic control adjustment device. The second magnetic connector includes a second interface seat, a second magnetic plate mounted on the second interface seat, and a conductive pin. The conductive pin is electrically connected to the main power controller circuit of the heater. When the water tray is connected to the heater, the conductive pin is electrically connected to the conductive hole, and the first magnetic plate is magnetically connected to the second magnetic block.

[0015] To enhance structural reliability, the first magnetic connector is typically soldered onto a circuit board within the disk body, and the conductive holes on the circuit board connect to the sliding temperature control device circuit. The shape of the circuit board can be customized as needed, such as a strip-shaped circuit board. For ease of installation and improved structural reliability, an L-shaped circuit board is preferred. This L-shaped circuit board can be formed by assembling and soldering two circuit boards together.

[0016] This utility model also relates to an electric kettle with the above-mentioned multifunctional water tray, characterized in that: it includes an electric heater and a water tray. The electric heater includes a base, a kettle body mounted on the base, a heating device and a main power controller, and a faucet mounted on the kettle body. The water tray is connected to the base and located below the faucet. The water tray is provided with an electronic control adjustment device that is connected to the main power controller circuit. Through the cooperation of the electronic control adjustment device and the main power controller, the electronic control function settings of the electric heater can be realized.

[0017] Furthermore, the electronic control adjustment device is a sliding temperature adjustment device, which includes a touch module connected to the main power controller circuit, a display and / or a temperature adjustment indicator light, and a touch sliding temperature adjustment area that cooperates with the touch module. When a finger slides on the touch sliding temperature adjustment area, the water temperature in the heater connected to the plate or the water temperature in the docking water container is set through the cooperation of the touch module and the main controller. The display is used to display the set temperature at least, and the temperature adjustment indicator light is used to display different light colors to indicate different temperatures set by touch sliding.

[0018] To enable the water tray to achieve a detachable structural connection and detachable circuit connection with the electric heater, further facilitating its use, an electrical connector is provided at the connection point between the water tray and the electric heater base. Preferably, the electrical connector is a magnetic connector, which enables the detachable structural connection and circuit connection between the water tray and the electric heater base. This magnetic connector includes a first magnetic connector and a second magnetic connector. The first magnetic connector includes a first interface seat mounted on the side of the tray body, a first magnetic block mounted on the first interface seat, and a conductive hole. The conductive hole is connected to the circuit of the sliding temperature control device. The second magnetic connector includes a second interface seat mounted on the electric heater base, a second magnetic plate mounted on the second interface seat, and a conductive pin. The conductive pin is connected to the circuit of the power main controller. When the water tray is connected to the electric heater base, the conductive pin and the conductive hole are electrically connected, and the first magnetic plate and the second magnetic block are magnetically connected.

[0019] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are: In addition to its function as a water container for receiving and storing water, the water receiving tray also has a circuit control function, allowing users to directly select circuit controls on the tray according to their requirements, thus offering diverse functions.

[0020] Second, the circuit control device on the water tray adopts a brand-new human-machine interface, which allows users to adjust the temperature by sliding their fingers on it, and quickly and accurately raise or lower the temperature to a certain value to meet the user's water temperature requirements in different situations. This continuous sliding temperature adjustment method is not only novel and smooth to operate, but also provides more precise temperature control. In addition, it has an attractive and high-end appearance, a simple and reliable structure, and low production costs.

[0021] Third, the drip tray is connected to the heater via a magnetic connector, enabling both a detachable structural connection and a detachable electrical connection. This assembly structure allows for easy detachment of the drip tray and heater through magnetic attraction, facilitating easy emptying. Because the magnetic connection is not very strong, the tray can be easily removed from the heater with minimal force, making installation and removal convenient and effortless. Water in the tray is less likely to spill. Furthermore, the electrical connection uses detachable conductive pins and holes. When connecting the tray to the heater, the conductive pins and holes not only establish a circuit connection, providing power to the circuit control device on the tray, but also strengthen the connection between the tray and the heater. The electrical connection does not interfere with the removal of the tray from the heater, making it extremely convenient to use.

[0022] Fourth, by placing the circuit control device on the water receiving tray, the space of the water receiving tray is fully utilized, which can effectively reduce the size of the base for installing the function control panel on the electric heater and reduce the overall cost.

[0031] like Figures 1-3As shown, the multifunctional water receiving tray of this utility model includes a tray body 11 and a support base 12 disposed on the tray body 11. The support base 12 is used for placing water containers and receiving water. A water collection trough for storing accumulated water is provided at the support base 12. The specific shape of the water collection trough can be set as needed, such as being strip-shaped, circular, or polygonal, etc. To make the functions of the water receiving tray more diversified, this utility model employs an electronic control adjustment device 13 connected to a main power controller on the tray body 11. The main power controller can be disposed within the tray body 11, with a power supply located within the tray body, or it can be controlled via existing wireless technology. Alternatively, the main power controller can be disposed within an external electric heater 2, such as on the base of an electric kettle or the base of a drip coffee maker. The electronic control adjustment device 3, in conjunction with the main power controller, can realize the electronic control function settings of the electric heater 2 connected to the water receiving tray or the electronic control function settings of the water receiving tray 1. The electronically controlled regulating device 13 can be an electronically controlled function selection device for setting functions, or an electronically controlled temperature regulating device for setting temperatures. Preferably, the electronically controlled temperature regulating device is a sliding temperature regulating device, which includes a power switch 10, a touch module 131 connected to the main power controller circuit, a display and / or a temperature regulating indicator light 133, and a touch sliding temperature regulating area 134 that cooperates with the touch module 131. When a finger slides on the touch sliding temperature regulating area 134, the water temperature in the heater 2 connected to the plate 11 or the water temperature in the docking water container is set through the cooperation of the touch module 131 and the main power controller. The display is used to display the set temperature, and the temperature regulating indicator light 133 is used to display different light colors to indicate different temperatures set by touch sliding. The touch module 131 is a capacitive touch module. The touch sliding temperature adjustment area 134 is disposed on the upper surface of the shell of the plate body 11 and located on the outside of the support seat 12. The support seat 12 is a recessed cavity seat located in the middle of the plate body 11. The cavity of the recessed cavity seat directly forms a water collection tank. Alternatively, the support seat 12 includes a recessed water collection tank located in the middle of the plate body 11 and a tray with several water passage holes detachably installed on the upper part of the water collection tank. The tray is used to support the water receiving container and to lower the collected water into the water storage chamber.

[0032] The temperature control indicator light 133 is a light strip installed at the touch sliding temperature control area 134; the upper surface of the light strip forms the touch screen of the touch sliding temperature control area (134), or a light-transmitting dustproof plate is provided above the light strip, which forms the touch screen of the touch sliding temperature control area 134. The light strip is preferably a straight or curved light strip with an inverted T-shaped cross-section. The upper surface of the housing 11 is provided with a mounting groove for installing the light strip and exposing its upper end. The housing 11 is also provided with a cover that reliably fixes the touch module and the light strip together to the inner surface of the housing. The touch module is provided with a light-reflecting groove corresponding to the lower position of the light strip. This allows the cover below to reflect light. The light strip is made of transparent material, which can achieve good light transmission.

[0033] An electrical connector is provided at the connection point between the plate 11 and the heater. The electrical connector is a connector that can be detachably connected to the heater 2 for both structural and electrical connection. For example, it can be a connector that mates with a plug and a socket. Preferably, a magnetic connector is used, which includes a first magnetic connector 3 installed on the side of the tray 11, and a corresponding second magnetic connector 4 on the heater 2. The first magnetic connector 3 includes a first interface seat 31, a first magnetic block 32 installed on the first interface seat 31, and a conductive hole 33 (it is possible to set only one first magnetic block on the first interface seat, preferably to set first magnetic blocks 32 on both sides of the first interface seat, and to set several conductive holes 33 between two first magnetic blocks). The conductive holes 33 are connected to the circuit of the electronic control adjustment device 13. The second magnetic connector 4 includes a second interface seat 41, a second magnetic block 42 installed on the second interface seat 41, and a conductive pin 43 (it is possible to set only one second magnetic block, preferably to set the conductive pin between two second magnetic blocks). The conductive pin 43 is connected to the circuit of the power main controller of the heater 2. When the water receiving tray 1 is connected to the heater 2 through the magnetic connector, the conductive pin 43 is electrically connected to the conductive hole 33, and the first magnetic block 32 and the second magnetic block 42 are magnetically connected. Of course, the design positions of the conductive holes and conductive pins can be interchanged and are equivalent. To make its structure more reliable, the first magnetic connector 3 is soldered to the circuit board 5 disposed inside the disc body 11, and the conductive hole 33 is connected to the sliding temperature control device circuit through the circuit board 5. The circuit board 5 is a strip circuit board or an L-shaped circuit board.

[0034] This utility model also relates to an electric kettle with the aforementioned multifunctional water tray, comprising an electric heater 2 and a water tray 1. The electric heater 2 includes a base 21, a kettle body 22 mounted on the base 21, a heating device and a main power controller 24, and a faucet 25 mounted on the kettle body 22. The water tray 1 is connected to the base 21 and located below the faucet 25. A teapot 8 (which can be placed on the water tray for filling tea or coffee, also called a water container) is also provided above the kettle body. The water tray 1 is equipped with an electronic control adjustment device 13 that is electrically connected to the main power controller 24. Through the cooperation of the electronic control adjustment device 13 and the main power controller 24, the electronic control functions of the electric heater 2 can be set. The electronic control adjustment device 13 can be an electronic control function selection device for setting functions, or an electronic control temperature control device for setting temperature. Preferably, the electronic control adjustment device 13 is a sliding temperature control device. The sliding temperature control device includes a power switch 10, a touch module 131 connected to the main power controller 24, a display 132 and a temperature control indicator light 133, and a touch-sensitive sliding temperature control area 134 that cooperates with the touch module 131. When a finger slides on the touch-sensitive sliding temperature control area 134, the water temperature inside the kettle body 22 is set through the cooperation of the touch module 131 and the main power controller. The display 132 is used to display at least the set temperature, and the temperature control indicator light 133 is used to display different light colors to indicate different temperatures set by the touch sliding. This invention allows the indicator light in the touch-sensitive sliding temperature control area to change color according to the different sliding positions when the temperature is set, providing both a good visual effect and indication function, and enabling the operator to adjust the temperature more accurately based on the color changes of the temperature control indicator light, thus facilitating precise temperature control.

[0035] Furthermore, this invention also includes a water level detection module mounted on the kettle body for detecting the water level inside the kettle. The water level detection module is connected to the main power controller and the display. The display can show the water level inside the kettle when the sliding temperature control device is not in operation. Of course, this invention can also have a separate water level display, but it is preferred to share a first display. This invention also includes a temperature sensing device mounted on the kettle body for detecting the real-time water temperature inside the kettle.

[0036] To facilitate the emptying of accumulated water from the drip tray and ensure that the electrical connection does not affect the disassembly process when the drip tray is removed from the heater, a magnetic connector is provided at the connection point between the drip tray 1 and the base of the heater 2. The magnetic connector enables the detachable structural connection and electrical connection between the drip tray 1 and the base of the heater 2. The magnetic connector includes a first magnetic connector 3 and a second magnetic connector 4. The first magnetic connector 3 includes a first interface seat 31 mounted on the side of the tray 11, a first magnetic block 32 mounted on the first interface seat 31, and a conductive hole 33. The conductive hole 33 is connected to the circuit of the sliding temperature control device. The second magnetic connector 4 includes a second interface seat 41 mounted on the base 21 of the heater, a second magnetic block 42 mounted on the second interface seat 41, and a conductive pin 43. The conductive pin 43 is connected to the circuit of the main power controller 24. When the water tray 1 is connected to the base 21 of the heater 2 through the magnetic connector, the conductive pin 43 and the conductive hole 33 are electrically connected, and the first magnetic block 32 and the second magnetic block 42 are magnetically connected. To make its structure more reliable, the first magnetic connector 3 is soldered to a circuit board 5 disposed inside the tray 11, and the conductive hole 33 is connected to the circuit of the sliding temperature control device through the circuit board 5. The circuit board 5 is a strip circuit board or an L-shaped circuit board. The circuit board 5 is also provided with circuit plug-in terminals for connection to the circuit of the sliding temperature control device. Similarly, the second magnetic connector 4 is also soldered to the second circuit board 7 located inside the heater base, and the conductive pins are connected to the power main controller circuit through the second circuit board 7. The second circuit board is also provided with circuit plug terminals.

[0037] The main power controller is also connected to a snap-action thermostat and a buzzer. The heating device includes heating elements and a heat-conducting plate. The heating elements include a water-boiling heating element and a heat-insulating heating element. The water-boiling heating element and the heat-insulating heating element are each connected to a corresponding snap-action thermostat.

[0038] One embodiment works as follows: First, connect the water tray 1 to the heater 2 via a magnetic connector. Connect the power plug of the heater 2 to an external power socket. All indicator lights and the display screen will light up for 3 seconds, followed by a buzzer beep, after which the device will turn off. Press the power switch once; the buzzer will beep, the display screen will show the current water level, and the red indicator light on the power switch will illuminate. In standby mode, adjust the temperature by sliding your finger from right to left on the curved light strip on the water tray. This embodiment allows for 5 temperature range settings. For example, when the display screen shows 75 degrees Celsius, the green light on the temperature adjustment indicator light will remain on. Continue sliding until the display screen shows 85 degrees Celsius; the green and light blue lights on the temperature adjustment indicator light will remain on. Then slide until the display screen shows 90 degrees Celsius; the green, light blue, and dark blue lights on the temperature adjustment indicator light will remain on. Continue sliding until the display screen shows 95 degrees Celsius; the green, light blue, dark blue, and orange lights on the temperature adjustment indicator light will remain on. When the display shows 100 degrees, the green, light blue, dark blue, orange, and red lights on the temperature control indicator will remain on. The specific temperature setting is as needed.

[0039] Once the set temperature is set, the display shows the set temperature and flashes 5 times. At this point, the electric kettle enters the boiling / heating state. When the water temperature inside the kettle reaches the set temperature, the buzzer beeps three times, and the power switch indicator light changes from red to blue, indicating the kettle has entered the keep-warm mode. When the temperature drops 5 degrees Celsius below the set temperature, the heating element activates, heating until the set temperature is reached, then stopping and repeating the keep-warm cycle. For example, if the temperature is between 95-100 degrees Celsius, it will keep warm until it reaches 90 degrees Celsius. If the temperature drops below 85 degrees Celsius, the heating element will activate, heating until 90 degrees Celsius is reached, then stopping and repeating the keep-warm cycle. To brew tea, remove the teapot from the top of the kettle and place it on the drip tray, then turn on the tap. If water accidentally spills onto the drip tray, it will temporarily collect in the collection compartment. After filling the teapot, remove it from the drip tray and gently pull the tray outwards to separate it from the heating element, making it easy to empty the water. Therefore, it is extremely convenient to use.
