Safety-Enhanced Integration of Electric Kettle and Steam Machine on a Single Power Baseplate

Conventional electric kettles and steam machines require separate appliances, occupying excess space and increasing wiring complexity. Existing solutions are often bulky, unsafe due to exposed wiring, and energy-inefficient when operated together. This invention provides a compact and cost-effective system that integrates both a kettle and a steam machine into a single dual-zone baseplate. The baseplate supplies power from its underside through coils, eliminating the need for side wiring and thereby improving safety. The steam machine is uniquely modified with a movable nozzle, allowing users to direct steam in any desired direction for versatile applications such as cooking, cleaning, fabric care, or personal use. A selector switch or automatic interlock ensures that only one device operates at a time, all on a single common baseplate, thereby preventing overload and enhancing energy efficiency. Safety features, including thermal cut-offs, insulation barriers, overcurrent protection, and a nozzle safety lock, are incorporated to prevent hazards such as overheating, spillage, or accidental steam release. The research reduces clutter, improves usability, and is portable and affordable, making it suitable for domestic kitchens, commercial outlets, hostels, salons, and portable applications.
