An electric kettle may include a body made of a metal material and configured to form a space in which fluid, such as water is contained, a heating module provided in the body to heat the space, a handle mounted to protrude from an outer surface of the body, a handle cover made of a metal material and configured to form a protruding upper surface of the handle, and a handle printed circuit board (PCB) provided inside of the handle and including a touch sensor in close contact with a rear surface of the handle cover to sense a touch operation of the handle cover. An operation of the heating module may be controlled by the handle PCB.

A coupler for use in a liquid heater includes a male connector and a female socket connector. The male connector includes a connecting wall and an annular cylindrical wall formed around the connecting wall. The female socket connector comprises an end wall joined with the connecting wall of the male connector and a peripheral wall formed around the end wall and arranged perpendicularly to the end wall. The surface of the end wall joined with the connecting wall is gradually lowered from the center towards the periphery and is convex-hull shaped. The peripheral wall includes arced sections and gapped sections connected between two arced sections. When the male connector is coupled with the female socket connector, this allows the arced sections to be coupled with the annular cylindrical wall and forms no coupling between the gapped sections and the annular cylindrical wall.

Collapsible heatable liquid containers having three non-inverting tiers and two inverting tiers interposed between the non-inverting tiers. The non-inverting tiers are typically formed of a stiff (i.e., stiff or rigid) material that is different from the material of the inverting tiers, which is typically a resilient polymer such as a thermoplastic elastomer or silicone. The bottom non-inverting tier is typically formed of a material suitable for inductive, contact, and flame heating, such as stainless steel. The container may be a liquid vessel suitable for drinking, beverage heating and serving, or cooking, such as a drinking bottle or kettle. A bottle may include an attached cap that engages the top tier to close the bottle, and a kettle may include a pour spout connected to the middle or top tier.

A cooking appliance for mixing and cooking ingredients for preparing food items, such as fufu, includes a housing and a shell. The housing comprises a back, a base, and a top. The base is coupled to and extends from a lower end of the back. A plate is coupled to an upper surface of the base and a heating element is coupled to the plate. The top is hingedly coupled to and extends from an upper end of the back. A motor is positioned in the top. The top is configured to pivot to an open configuration to position the shell upon the plate. A whisk that is couplable to the motor is inserted into the shell, and ingredients that are positioned in the shell, as the top is pivoted to a closed configuration. The motor rotates the whisk to mix the ingredients and the heating element heats the ingredients to prepare food, such as fufu.

A microwave kettle includes a main vessel having a pivotally attached lid, with an insert attached to an interior of the lid and extending into the main vessel. The insert is configured with a number of nucleation sites to facilitate boiling of a liquid within the vessel.

A kettle includes a kettle body, a top cap, a heating base, a filter cup and a filter cup lifting arrangement. The kettle body includes a water reservoir having a receiving cavity. The filter cup is adapted for storing food or beverage items and communicating with the receiving cavity. The filter cup lifting arrangement includes a supporting member supported in the water reservoir, a stopper and a lifting member movably extended between the supporting member and the stopper through the top cap. The lifting member is arranged to drive the filter cup to move between an immersion position and a lifted-up position, wherein in the immersion position, the filter cup is moved to immerse under the hot water stored in the receiving cavity, wherein in the lifted-up position, the filter cup is moved to lift up from the hot water.

Proposed is an electric kettle in which a main body is provided with a water level window. The electric kettle of the present disclosure includes the main body configured to receive water or food therein and provided with the water level window through which the level of water contained inside the main body is seen, a lid provided on an open upper side of the main body so as to cover the open upper side of the main body, and a base provided at a lower side of the main body so as to support the main body, wherein a flow path in which a fluid flows is formed in the water level window and has a bottom surface formed to be inclined. According to such a configuration, a fluid remaining inside the water level window decreases.

The invention provides an electric kettle with a lid that can be automatically opened at a constant speed, which relates to the technical field of electric kettles, and includes an electric kettle body. The lower end of the lower cover is fixedly connected with a guide rail cover, the inner surface of the electric kettle body is fixed with a guide rail, and the upper surface of the electric kettle body is provided with a button, and the spring force will pull the guide rail cover fixed on the guide rail, and then automatically complete In the action of opening the lid, the constant force spring can provide uniform power, and it is used in conjunction with the damper to achieve a state of uniform elastic force, uniform and stable movement process; the double guide rail structure is used to ensure that the lid will not shake during movement. Swing; and the use of silicone rings and thin ribs can scrape off the high-temperature water droplets on the lower cover during the process of opening the lid, so that the water droplets will not fall off and burn your hands, so that the speed of opening the lid can be constant, no abnormal sound and preventing burns, although the structure is simple.

An electric dispensing kettle system with a dispensing kettle that seats on to docks to a control station is disclosed. The dispensing kettle includes a weighted handle for controlled or balanced pouring. The control station provides controlled power to a heating element within the dispensing kettle with the dispensing kettle seated on to docked to the control station. The control station includes a PID controller or control loop feedback circuit that continuously modulates power to the heating element based on actual temperature reading received from a thermocouple structure. The control station also includes an electronic display that simultaneously displays an actual temperature of the steeping liquid and the target temperature of the steeping liquid within the dispensing kettle.
