Disclosed herein is an electric pot having an improved relay installation position. The electric pot includes a pot main body that is provided with a magnetic field generator generating a magnetic field at a lower portion of the pot main body, and a supporter that includes a magnetism detection sensor detecting magnitude of a magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator and, based on the detected magnitude of a magnetic field, generating a voltage and that includes a comparator comparing the voltage generated by the magnetism detection sensor with a predetermined reference voltage and, based on the comparison, controlling a switchover operation of a relay part, thereby controlling the relay part through a simple circuit configuration and through magnetic field generation and detection means without an additional communication means.

A portable cooking device operable by electricity or by a rechargeable lithium Ion battery for use when electricity is or is not readily available.

A kettle is provided having a fluid chamber having a transparent or translucent wall and a display panel located in or on the transparent or translucent wall, wherein the display panel is surrounded on at least three sides by the translucent or transparent wall.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus (100) for heating a liquid. The apparatus (100) includes a temperature sensor (110) configured to sense a temperature of the liquid; an inclination sensor (120) configured to sense an inclination of the apparatus (100); and an adjustment unit (130) configured to adjust a size of a liquid outlet (132) of the apparatus (100) based on the sensed temperature and inclination.

A water supply system includes a main water tank that is configured to store water and includes a heater to heat the stored water to close to but below a boiling temperature thereof, to provide main heated water. A dispenser water tank receives a portion of the main heated water, and is free of any heating elements to add heat to the water stored therein, and providing dispensable heated water. A water mixer includes a first pipe for receiving the dispensable heated water from the dispenser tank and a second pipe for receiving utility water from a faucet that supplies utility-provided water, with a mixing chamber from which the waters from the first pipe and the second pipe are dispensed and/or in which these waters are admixed.

An energy management system (401) for a kitchen appliance (201), the energy management system (401) comprising: a mains power system, a backup energy storage system (405), and a con-troller (411), wherein the controller (411) is arranged to: determine a state of health of the energy storage system; determine a state of charge of the energy storage system; determine how energy from the energy storage system is to be used based on the determined state of health, the determined state of charge and at least one measured variable obtained from a kitchen appliance (201), and apply the energy to operate at least one function of the kitchen appliance (201).

A cover for a pump for a liquid for a household appliance, in particular for a dishwasher or a washing machine;

the cover comprising an electric heating element partially in contact with the wall, which crosses said wall, whereby said at least one electric heating element is apt to come into contact with the liquid;

the cover further comprising at least two NTC thermistors which are fixed to the outer face by a support provided with a notch;

wherein the two NTC thermistors are at a stretch of heating element separated by the wall, and are fixed to zones of the support between which said notch is provided.

Proposed is an electric kettle having a water outlet. The electric kettle includes: a body in which water or food is accommodated; a lid for covering the opened upper side of the body; a base which is provided on the underside of the body and supports the body; a water outlet assembly which is provided at one side of the body and guides the contents in the body to be discharged; a handle provided at one side of the body and configured to be gripped by hand; and a heating module which is provided at one side of the body and heats the space inside the body to increase and control the temperature of the contents, wherein the water outlet assembly has a structure which is composed of one or more elements and blocks a gap between the water outlet assembly and the body to prevent leakage of water.

A lid body of an electric kettle has a first inlet port, a second inlet port, and a discharge port, and a first channel and a second channel provided in the lid body for guiding the steam introduced through the first inlet port and the second inlet port to the discharge port, respectively. The first inlet port and the second inlet port are disposed on opposite, left and right, sides of a front-rear centerline of the lid body. The first channel extends from the first inlet port to the side of the second inlet port beyond the front-rear centerline and is folded back on the side of the second inlet port. The second channel extends from the second inlet port to the side of the first inlet port beyond the front-rear centerline and is folded back on the side of the first inlet port.

The present disclosure relates to a temperature prompting method and device. The method includes: acquiring a current temperature in a target container; acquiring a distance of the target container to a target terminal, which is linked to the target container; determining, according to the current temperature, a first time duration to be elapsed when a temperature in the target container changes to a predetermined target temperature; determining, according to the distance of the target container to the target terminal, a second time duration to be elapsed when the target terminal moves to a location where the target container stands; and triggering a prompt signal if the first time duration is less than or equal to the second time duration. According to the present disclosure, temperature control flexibility may be improved.
