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.

An electric pot of the present invention includes: an electric pot body provided with a heating unit and a control unit controlling the heating unit, and having a guide tube on a top surface thereof; a container member inserted into the guide tube to be disposed at an upper portion of the electric pot body, and receiving heat from the heating unit; a temperature sensing unit installed at the electric pot body to sense a temperature of water filling the container member; and a display unit receiving a signal from the control unit to display the temperature of the water.

An electric kettle may include a body made of a metal material, formed by an outer body and an inner body having a cylindrical shape with an open upper surface and an open lower surface, a heat insulation space being formed between the outer body and the inner body, a heating module configured to form a bottom of a space in which fluid, such as water may be contained inside of the body and heat the fluid, a mounting port that passes through the outer body and the inner body, a window made of a transparent material and mounted on the mounting port to allow an inside of the body to be viewed therethrough, and a gasket disposed along a circumference of the window to seal a gap between the inner body and the window. The window may be doubly sealed in contact with the outer body and the gasket.

Disclosed are a multifunctional heating and heat preservation container and a charging base thereof. The multifunctional heating and heat preservation container comprises a container main body (30), with the container main body (30) comprising a container inner lining (8), and a container housing (10), which forms a vacuum cavity (9) with the container inner lining (8) and enables the bottom of the container inner lining (8) to be exposed, is arranged on the peripheral side of the container inner lining (8). The charging base comprises a base housing (1), an ejector pin (2), which is in contact with a charging ring (214), is arranged in the base housing (1), an insulating layer (3) is sleeved on the ejector pin (2), an elastic member (4) which elastically ejects the ejector pin (2) towards the outside of the base housing (1) to enable the ejector pin (2) to move out of or retract into the base housing (1) is sleeved on the insulating layer (3), and a conductive terminal (5) is connected to the ejector pin (2). The problems whereby a cup body of an existing temperature control cup uses a single-layer steel plate structure, the cup body dissipates heat quickly, and heat preservation completely depends on electric energy heating, such that a battery which is in the temperature control bottom of the container and is used for power supply consumes electricity quickly, are solved; and the problems whereby a spring in an existing charging base is arranged in an ejector pin, and the spring is prone to failure due to an overlarge current in the power-on process of the charging base with the outside, such that the ejector pin cannot rebound and reset, are solved.

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.

An electric kettle may include a body made of a metal material, having a vertically open cylindrical shape, and including an outer body forming an outer appearance and an inner body disposed inside of the outer body, an upper body mounted on an upper end of the body and extending upward along the upper end of the body, a lid coupled to the upper body to open and close an open upper surface of the body, a spout that protrudes from a first side of the upper body to pour fluid, such as water, a handle connected to a second side of the upper body facing the spout, a heating module provided inside of the body to heat fluid contained in the inner body, and a base on which a lower surface of the body may be seated and that supplies power to the heating module in a state in which the body is seated. The upper body may include a body top made of a same material as a material of the body and extending upward along the upper end of the body, and a seating member configured to connect an inner surface of the body top and an inner surface of the inner body such that the upper body and the body are connected inside.

An apparatus for providing hot water, wherein the apparatus includes: a water storage container; a heating element for heating water positioned within the water storage container; and a tap, wherein the tap is positioned above the water storage container, wherein the tap is fluidically connected to the water storage container via a pipeline, wherein the pipeline comprises a pump, wherein the pipeline is at least partly formed as a riser within or through the water storage container.

The present invention relates to a kettle for heating liquid comprising a base with a base connector being movable between an engaged and a disengaged position, and a vessel for holding the liquid. The vessel comprises a vessel connector with an electrical contact connected to a heating element. The vessel is pivotably connected to the base such that by pivoting the vessel liquid in the vessel flows through an opening located at a top portion of the vessel. The kettle is configured such that when the base connector of the base is in the engaged position, the base connector engages with the vessel connector to activate the heating element, and when the base connector is in the disengaged position, the vessel is pivotable relative to the base for pouring the liquid through the opening of the vessel.

An article of manufacture includes a wall portion having a wall inner surface and a wall outer surface, a base portion having a base inner surface and a base outer surface, at least a portion of the wall portion and the base portion forming a vessel to retain fluid therein, at least part of the base portion configured to receive heat, and a plurality of shaped portions with at least three sides extending above, each shaped portion of the base inner surface including at least three sides and polygonal shaped tops, each of the plurality of shaped portions capable of supplying heat from the sides to fluid adjacent to the sides, the plurality of shaped portions including the polygonal shaped tops to induce creation of a plurality of hexagonal convection cells in contact with a surface of the fluid which increases heat transfer from a heating source to the fluid.

An electric kettle may include a body configured to form a space in which fluid, such as water is contained, a heating module provided inside of the body to heat fluid, and a base on which a lower surface of the body is seated and which supplies power to the heating module in a state in which the body is seated. The base may include a connector which is exposed through a side surface of the base and to which a power cable for receiving external power may be connected, and a connector mounting portion formed along a circumference of the connector and protruding further outward than a side surface of the base and a front surface of the connector so as to block fluid or foreign matter from flowing into the connector.
