Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric kettle technology, and in particular to outdoor electric kettles. Background Technology

[0002] For easier water dispensing, electric kettles are designed with a separate body and base. This separate design makes the kettle lighter and eliminates the need for a power cord, allowing users to easily move the kettle to dispense water.

[0003] However, the surfaces where the kettle body and base contact each other require an electrical coupling connector for connection. When water is poured into the kettle, it easily flows down the kettle body and onto the coupling at the bottom. When the kettle is placed on the base, water splashed from the kettle body easily flows down the kettle body and onto the coupling at the bottom, affecting the lifespan of the electric kettle and even creating a safety hazard.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an outdoor electric kettle to improve the waterproof performance of the electric kettle.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An outdoor electric kettle, the outdoor electric kettle comprising: The kettle body has a support base at the bottom. A heating element is installed inside the kettle body. A groove is formed on the support base. A second snap-fit ​​hole is formed at the bottom of the groove.

[0007] The base has a first protrusion on the side facing the support. A first snap-fit ​​hole is formed on the top of the first protrusion.

[0008] The first boss extends into the groove. A lower coupler is provided on the base, and an upper coupler is provided inside the kettle body. The upper coupler is connected to the heating plate. The upper coupler is connected to the lower coupler along the first snap-fit ​​hole and the second snap-fit ​​hole.

[0009] A further technical solution involves a recess on one side of the support base to form the groove, and a corresponding protrusion on the other side of the support base to form a second boss. The upper coupler is disposed on the second boss. The heating plate is arranged around the second boss.

[0010] A further technical solution is that, along the axial direction of the first snap-fit ​​hole, towards the side closer to the support base, the outer diameter of the first boss gradually decreases. Along the axial direction of the second snap-fit ​​hole, towards the side farther from the base, the inner diameter of the groove gradually decreases. The outer diameter of the top of the first boss is less than the inner diameter of the groove opening, and the outer diameter of the top of the first boss is greater than the inner diameter of the bottom of the groove.

[0011] A further technical solution involves providing a raised ring on the surface of the lower coupler along the radial direction of the first snap-fit ​​hole. The raised ring is disposed between the support and the base.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the lower couplers at both ends of the convex ring extend into the first snap-fit ​​hole and the second snap-fit ​​hole, respectively.

[0013] A further technical solution involves providing a connecting portion extending radially from the first snap-fit ​​hole. A connecting hole is formed on the connecting portion. A screw hole is formed on the lower coupler near the end of the connecting portion, aligned with the connecting hole.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the upper coupler has a narrower outer diameter and a snap-fit ​​portion at one end near the lower coupler. The snap-fit ​​portion extends into the second snap-fit ​​hole.

[0015] A further technical solution involves providing an extension on the base along the radial direction of the first snap-fit ​​hole. An electronic control slot and a battery slot are disposed within the extension. A bottom cover is disposed on the side of the base away from the support. The bottom cover is sealingly connected to the base, sealing the electronic control slot and the battery slot.

[0016] A further technical solution involves a water pump mounted on the kettle body. The inlet and outlet of the water pump are connected to glass tubes. The inlet of the water pump is connected along the glass tube to the inner liner inside the kettle body. The water pump is also connected to a water-dispensing battery, which is located on the kettle body.

[0017] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows: (1) The outdoor electric kettle of this utility model has a separate kettle body and a base. When the kettle body is filled with water, the base is away from the water source to prevent water from immersing in the electronic components inside the base. The base is provided with a first protrusion, which raises the height of the upper and lower couplers of the base to prevent water from flowing down the surface of the base to the lower coupler. The support base is provided with a groove, which raises the height of the upper coupler relative to the bottom of the base to prevent water from flowing down the bottom of the support base to the upper coupler. The first protrusion extends into the groove, and the cooperation between the first protrusion and the groove further hinders the flow of water to the upper and lower couplers, improving the waterproof performance of the mating position of the base and the support base.

[0018] (2) Further, along the radial direction of the first snap-fit ​​hole, an extension is provided on the base, and the electronic control slot and battery slot are disposed in the extension offset from the first snap-fit ​​hole to prevent water from accidentally entering the first snap-fit ​​hole and falling directly onto the electronic components in the electronic control slot and battery slot.

[0019] (3) Furthermore, a water pump and a water-dispensing battery are installed on the kettle body. The water pump is driven by the water-dispensing battery, so that water can be dispensed electrically without placing the kettle body on the base, which improves the convenience of using the kettle body alone.

[0028] Figure 1 An exploded structural diagram of an electric kettle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 A vertical cross-sectional view of an electric kettle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 3 An exploded structural diagram of an outdoor electric kettle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 4 A vertical cross-sectional view of an outdoor electric kettle according to an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An outdoor electric kettle includes a separate kettle body 1 and a base 4. A support base 2 is provided at the bottom of the kettle body 1. A heating element (not shown) is provided inside the kettle body 1. A groove 21 is formed on the support base 2. A second snap-fit ​​hole 211 is formed at the bottom of the groove 21. A first protrusion 41 is provided on the side of the base 4 facing the support base 2. A first snap-fit ​​hole 411 is formed at the top of the first protrusion 41. The first protrusion 41 extends into the groove 21. A lower coupler 7 is provided on the base 4, and an upper coupler 3 is provided inside the kettle body 1. The upper coupler 3 is connected to the heating element. The upper coupler 3 is connected to the lower coupler 7 along the first snap-fit ​​hole 411 and the second snap-fit ​​hole 211. The kettle body 1 and the base 4 are connected by the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7, thus forming a separate kettle body 1 and base 4. When the kettle body 1 is filled with water, the base 4 is kept away from the water source to prevent water from immersing in the electronic components inside the base 4, thus facilitating the use of the electric kettle in complex environments such as outdoors. The first protrusion 41 raises the height of the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7 on the base 4, preventing water from flowing along the surface of the base 4 onto the lower coupler 7. The groove 21 increases the height of the upper coupler 3 relative to the bottom of the base 4, preventing water from flowing along the bottom of the support 2 onto the upper coupler 3. Furthermore, the first protrusion 41 extends into the groove 21, and the cooperation between the first protrusion 41 and the groove 21 further hinders water from flowing along the gap between the base 4 and the support 2 onto the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7, improving the waterproof performance of the mating position of the base 4 and the support 2.

[0029] Preferably, along the axial direction of the first snap-fit ​​hole 411, the outer diameter of the first boss 41 gradually decreases towards the side closer to the support base 2. Along the axial direction of the second snap-fit ​​hole 211, towards the side farther from the base 4, the inner diameter of the groove 21 gradually decreases. The outer diameter of the top of the first boss 41 is less than the inner diameter of the groove opening of the groove 21. The groove opening of the groove 21 guides the first boss 41, guiding it into the groove 21, facilitating the connection between the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7. Furthermore, the outer diameter of the top of the first boss 41 is greater than the inner diameter of the bottom of the groove 21, limiting the relative position of the first boss 41 and the groove 21, preventing excessive pressure between the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7 from damaging the couplers. The gradually thickening structure of the first boss 41 from the support base 2 towards the base 4 also enhances the ability of the first boss 41 to withstand pressure from the support base 2.

[0030] In some embodiments, both the first boss 41 and the groove 21 are rotating bodies with the axis of the first snap-fit ​​hole 411 as their generatrix. In this case, the first boss 41 and the groove 21 form an annular line contact. Compared to surface contact, the pressure of line contact is more concentrated, facilitating the elastic deformation of the seal (not shown) between the first boss 41, the groove 21, or the seal between the first boss 41 and the groove 21 to fill the gap, forming a continuous annular sealing path between the first boss 41 and the groove 21. This hinders the flow of liquid to the upward coupler 3 and the downward coupler 7, enhancing the sealing performance between the support 2 and the base 4. Furthermore, even when the temperature difference between the positions of the first boss 41 and the groove 21 is large, the annular sealing path between the first boss 41 and the groove 21 of the rotating body structure remains intact, enhancing the versatility of the outdoor electric kettle.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 One side of the support base 2 is recessed to form a groove 21, and the other side of the support base 2 is correspondingly protruded to form a second boss 212. The second boss 212 is positioned facing the kettle body 1. The upper coupler 3 is mounted on the second boss 212. The heating plate is positioned around the second boss 212, and the heating plate can be a commercially available stainless steel annular disc heating plate.

[0032] In some embodiments, a water pump 47 is also provided on the kettle body 1. The inlet and outlet of the water pump 47 are respectively connected to a glass tube 45. The inlet of the water pump 47 is connected to the inner liner (not shown in the figure) inside the kettle body 1 along the glass tube 45. The water pump 47 is also connected to a water-dispensing battery 11. The water-dispensing battery 11 is disposed on the kettle body 1. By driving the water pump 47 with the water-dispensing battery 11, water can be dispensed electrically without placing the kettle body 1 on the base 4, improving the convenience of using the kettle body 1 alone. Specifically, a slot (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the kettle body 1, and the water-dispensing battery 11 is disposed in the slot and electrically connected to the water pump 47. The slot opening can be provided with a flexible cap (not shown in the figure) to block the slot and fix the water-dispensing battery 11 on the kettle body 1. The flexible fit between the cap and the slot also makes it easy for the user to replace the water-dispensing battery 11.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper coupler 3, near the lower coupler 7, has a narrower outer diameter and a locking part 31. The locking part 31 extends into the second locking hole 211. The locking part 31 and the second locking hole 211 cooperate to restrict the radial movement of the upper coupler 3 along the first locking hole 411, thereby improving the stability of the upper coupler 3.

[0034] In some embodiments, a threaded boss 22 may be provided on the side of the support base 2 away from the base 4. A threaded hole is provided on the threaded boss 22 to facilitate the threaded connection between the upper coupler 3 and the support base 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the upper coupler 3.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Along the radial direction of the first snap-fit ​​hole 411, a raised ring 71 is provided on the surface of the lower coupler 7. The raised ring 71 is disposed between the support 2 and the base 4. When the first boss 41 extends into the groove 21, the top of the first boss 41 and the bottom of the groove 21 can clamp the raised ring 71, fixing the position of the lower coupler 7 and enhancing the stability of the fixation between the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7.

[0036] Preferably, the lower couplers 7 at both ends of the convex ring 71 extend into the first locking hole 411 and the second locking hole 211, respectively. Specifically, the inner wall of the first locking hole 411 contacts the outer surface of the lower coupler 7, restricting the radial movement of the lower coupler 7 and improving the stability of the lower coupler 7. After the upper end of the lower coupler 7 is inserted into the upper coupler 3, the inner wall of the second locking hole 211 restricts the position of the lower coupler 7 along the upper coupler 3, improving the stability of the connection between the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7.

[0037] Preferably, a connecting portion 42 extends radially within the first snap-fit ​​hole 411. A connecting hole 421 is formed on the connecting portion 42. A threaded hole is formed near the end of the connecting portion 42, aligned with the connecting hole 421. After the lower coupler extends into the first snap-fit ​​hole 411, a threaded connector (not shown) can be screwed into the threaded hole along the connecting hole 421 to secure the lower coupler 7 to the base 4, ensuring the connection strength between the lower coupler 7 and the base 4. In some embodiments, the threaded connector can be various threaded connecting parts known in the prior art, such as bolts or screws.

[0038] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates a perspective view of an electric kettle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, with the bottom cover removed, viewed from below. Please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 5 An extension 43 is provided on the base 4 along the radial direction of the first snap-fit ​​hole 411. An electrical control slot 431 and a battery slot 433 are provided within the extension 43. A circuit board 432 electrically connected to the lower coupler 7 can be housed within the electrical control slot 431, and a heating battery (not shown) electrically connected to the circuit board 432 and the lower coupler 7 can be housed within the battery slot 433, so as to supply power to the heating plate for boiling water when the base 4 is not connected to a power source (not shown). This facilitates the use of the electric kettle in outdoor settings. A bottom cover 44 is provided on the side of the base 4 away from the support 2. The bottom cover 44 seals the base 4 and seals the electrical control slot 431 and the battery slot 433. The electrical control slot 431 and the battery slot 433 are positioned offset from the first snap-fit ​​hole 411 within the extension 43 to prevent water from accidentally entering the first snap-fit ​​hole 411 and dripping directly onto the electronic components within the electrical control slot 431 and the battery slot 433, further improving the waterproof performance of the base 4. In some embodiments, a waterproof rib 46 may be provided on the base 4 around the electronic control tank 431 and the battery tank 433 to prevent liquid flowing into the base 4 from flowing into the electronic control tank 431 and the battery tank 433.

[0039] The specific workflow of this embodiment is as follows: When water is being collected, the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7 separate, allowing the kettle body 1 to collect water alone, while the base 4 remains away from the water source. As water flows along the kettle body 1 into the gap between the base 4 and the support 2, the first protrusion 41 raises the height of the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7, making it difficult for liquid to flow upwards onto them. Furthermore, the annular sealing contact between the first protrusion 41 and the groove 21 further hinders the flow of liquid upwards onto the upper coupler 3 and the lower coupler 7, enhancing the waterproof performance between the base 4 and the support 2.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
