[0031] At present, drinking water equipment such as water dispensers on the market only have the function of providing drinking water for users. As more and more families keep pets, users usually need to purchase pet drinking water devices separately for their pets. Pet drinking water devices on the market usually require users to regularly replace drinking water for their pets, which is not very convenient. In addition, pet drinking water devices occupy a certain amount of home environment space alone, which is not convenient for the use of small-sized home space. There is an urgent need for a drinking water device that can meet the drinking water needs of both users and pets.

[0032] The present invention provides a multifunctional drinking water device, which can simultaneously meet the drinking water needs of users and pets. The multifunctional drinking water device is a water purifier, a direct drinking machine or a water dispenser.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of the present invention, the multifunctional drinking water device 10 includes a housing 100, a cooling module 200, a heating module 300 and a pet drinking water bowl 400; the housing 100 extends in a vertical direction, and the housing 100 has a user drinking water area 110 and a pet drinking water area 120, the user drinking water area 110 is located above the pet drinking water area 120, the user drinking water area 110 is provided with a drinking water outlet 111, and the pet drinking water area 120 is provided with a pet water outlet 120a; the cooling module 200 is arranged in the housing 100, and the cooling module 200 has a normal temperature water storage cavity 210 and the cold water storage chamber 220, the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 is connected with the pet water outlet 120a through the pet water outlet pipe 13, and the cold water storage chamber 220 is connected with the drinking water outlet 111 through the first water outlet pipe 11; the heating module 300 is arranged in the shell 100, the input port of the heating module 300 is connected with the normal temperature water storage chamber 210, and the output port of the heating module 300 is connected with the drinking water outlet 111 through the second water outlet pipe 12; the pet drinking bowl 400 is arranged corresponding to the pet drinking area 120, and is located below the pet water outlet 120a.

[0034] Specifically, see Figure 1 The shell 100 extends in the vertical direction, and an installation space for installing the cooling module 200 and the heating module 300 is formed in the shell 100. The shell 100 itself is formed with a user drinking area 110 and a pet drinking area 120, and the user drinking area 110 is located above the pet drinking area 120, so that the user and the pet can use it separately. The user drinking area 110 is provided with a drinking water outlet 111, and the pet drinking area 120 is provided with a pet water outlet 120a, wherein the drinking water outlet 111 is used to discharge warm water, hot water and cold water. The drinking water outlet can be one to meet the needs of users to take water of different temperatures, or multiple drinking water outlets can be provided, and there is no specific restriction on this; the pet drinking area 120 is provided with a pet water outlet 120a to discharge warm water for pets to drink.

[0035] It should be understood that the pet drinking water bowl 400 is arranged corresponding to the pet drinking water area 120 and is located below the pet water outlet 120a. The pet drinking water bowl 400 is formed with a drinking trough to receive water flowing out of the pet water outlet 120a for the pet to drink. To facilitate the transportation and installation of the multifunctional drinking water device 10, the pet drinking water bowl 400 is detachably connected to the housing 100, or directly abuts against the housing 100, and no specific restrictions are made on this.

[0036] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The refrigeration module 200 is provided with a normal temperature water storage chamber 210 and a cold water storage chamber 220. The normal temperature water storage chamber 210 is connected to a water source and is used to store normal temperature water, i.e., water that has not been refrigerated or heated. The water source can be municipal tap water or replaceable pure water stored in a sealed container. If the water flowing into the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 is municipal tap water, a filter module 800 can be provided upstream of the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 to filter the water before it flows into the normal temperature water storage chamber 210, thereby improving the taste and health of the drinking water. The setting of the filter module 800 will be described in detail later, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0037] The normal temperature water storage chamber 210 is connected to the pet water outlet 120a through the pet water outlet pipe 13, that is, the normal temperature water flowing into the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 can be directly discharged through the pet water outlet pipe 13 for use by the pet, without being affected by the cold water and hot water that the user drinks, effectively avoiding the problem of temperature crossover affecting the temperature of the pet water. The cold water storage chamber 220 is also connected to the water source, and the water in the cold water storage chamber 220 is cooled by the heat exchange component 700. The cold water storage chamber 220 is connected to the drinking water outlet 111 through the first water outlet pipe 11. When the user needs to drink cold water, the water in the cold water storage chamber 220 can be discharged through the first water outlet pipe 11 for use by the user. Among them, the heat exchange component 700 can be integrated into the refrigeration module 200, or the heat exchange component 700 can be separately set to cool the water in the cold water storage chamber 220, and there is no specific limitation on this.

[0038] As for the communication mode between the cold water storage chamber 220 and the water source, it can be directly connected to the water source through the water channel interface, or it can be indirectly connected to the water source through the normal temperature water storage chamber 210. When the cold water storage chamber 220 is indirectly connected to the water source through the normal temperature water storage chamber 210, the mode can be to set a diverter in the refrigeration module 200, through the action of the diverter, separate the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 and the cold water storage chamber 220 which are isolated from each other inside the refrigeration module 200, the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 is directly connected to the water source, the diverter is provided with a connecting flow path, and the cold water storage chamber 220 is connected to the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 through the connecting flow path, so as to achieve communication with the water source. In this embodiment, in order to reduce the number of pipelines upstream of the refrigeration module 200 and reduce the number of water channel interfaces of the refrigeration module 200 itself, the cold water storage chamber 220 is connected to the water source by an indirect communication mode.

[0039] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3The heating module 300 is arranged in the housing 100, the input port of the heating module 300 is communicated with the normal temperature water storage chamber 210, and the output port of the heating module 300 is communicated with the drinking water outlet 111 through the second water outlet pipe 12. The heating module 300 usually has a heating state and a non-heating state. When the heating module 300 is in the heating state, the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 can flow into the heating module 300 through the input port of the heating module 300 for heating, and flow to the drinking water outlet 111 through the second water outlet pipe 12 for the user to drink; when the heating module 300 is in the non-heating state, the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 flows through the heating module 300 and flows to the drinking water outlet 111 through the second water outlet pipe 12 for the user to drink, and the water flowing out at this time is normal temperature water; in this way, the two needs of the user for drinking hot water and normal temperature water can be met.

[0040] It should be noted that the input port and input side referred to in the previous and following texts refer to the side where water flows in. Similarly, the output port and output side refer to the side where water flows out.

[0041] For the water flowing into the normal temperature water storage chamber 210, a water inlet pipe 15 can also be provided in the multifunctional drinking water device 10. The normal temperature water storage chamber 210 is connected to the water source through the water inlet pipe 15. Since the cold water storage chamber 220 is indirectly connected to the water source through the normal temperature water storage chamber 210, only one water inlet pipe 15 is provided in this embodiment, which simplifies the pipe arrangement. The pet water outlet pipe 13 is connected to the normal temperature water storage chamber 210. On the one hand, it can simplify the pipe arrangement in the housing 100, and on the other hand, it can also shorten the length of the pet water outlet pipe 13. The pet water outlet pipe 13 is directly connected to the normal temperature water storage chamber 210. When the pet is out of water, it will not be affected by cold water and hot water, so that the pet can drink water of suitable temperature.

[0042] The technical solution of the present invention is to provide a user drinking area 110 for users to drink water, and a pet drinking area 120 for pets to drink water on the housing 100. The refrigeration module 200 has a normal temperature water storage chamber 210 and a cold water storage chamber 220. The pet drinking area 120 is provided with a pet water outlet 120a. The pet water outlet 120a is connected to the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 of the refrigeration module 200 through the pet water outlet pipeline 13, and can directly flow out normal temperature water for pets to drink without being affected by cold water and hot water. In this way, the function of the multifunctional drinking water device 10 to simultaneously output drinking water and pet water for users and pets to drink is realized, and the two functions of pet drinking water and user drinking water are integrated into one, which can meet the diverse needs of users, facilitate users to use, and also facilitate the use of family space.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The cooling module 200 is located above the heating module 300. The cooling module 200 is provided with a normal temperature output port 230 connected to the normal temperature water storage chamber 210. The water system also includes a connecting pipe 14. The input port of the heating module 300 and the normal temperature output port 230 are connected via the connecting pipe 14.

[0044] Specifically, a connecting pipe 14 can be provided between the refrigeration module 200 and the heating module 300, so that the water in the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 flows into the heating module 300 through the connecting pipe 14, and flows to the drinking water outlet 111 through the second water outlet pipe 12 for use by the user. The refrigeration module 200 is provided with a normal temperature output port 230 connected to the normal temperature water storage chamber 210, one end of the connecting pipe 14 is connected to the normal temperature output port 230, and the other end is connected to the output port of the heating module 300. When the refrigeration module 200 is provided above the heating module 300, the water in the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 can flow to the heating module 300 under the action of gravity for heating, and there is no need to provide a separate booster pump in the multifunctional drinking water device 10 to pressurize the water system, and a component is discarded, which can reduce the cost of the multifunctional drinking water device 10 and reduce the trouble of assembly.

[0045] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 One end of the pet water outlet pipe 13 is connected to the connecting pipe 14, and the other end is connected to the pet water outlet 120a. Specifically, in order to reduce the number of water channel interfaces of the refrigeration module 200, one end of the pet water outlet pipe 13 is directly connected to the connecting pipe 14, thereby achieving communication with the normal temperature water storage chamber 210, so that the water in the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 can flow out through the pet water outlet pipe 13 for the pet to drink.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The multifunctional drinking water device 10 further includes a water outlet switch valve 510, which is arranged in the pet water outlet pipeline 13 and near the pet water outlet 120a, and is used to control the on-off of the pet water outlet pipeline 13. Specifically, the user can control the on-off of the water channel in the pet water outlet pipeline 13 by controlling the water outlet switch valve 510, so as to replenish water when the water volume in the pet drinking water bowl 400 is insufficient. The water outlet switch valve 510 can be a manual valve, which directly replenishes water into the pet water bowl through manual control, or the type of the water outlet switch valve 510 can also be a solenoid valve, which is controlled by the water outlet switch electrically connected thereto, so as to replenish water into the pet water bowl. In this embodiment, the water outlet switch valve 510 is configured as a solenoid valve and is arranged near the pet water outlet 120a, which can avoid the distance between the water outlet switch valve 510 and the pet water outlet 120a being too long, so that it is difficult to accurately judge the water volume, resulting in overflow of the pet drinking water bowl 400.

[0047] For further information, see Figure 1 The multifunctional drinking water device 10 is provided with a pet water outlet switch 520, which is electrically connected to the solenoid valve. In this way, the pet water outlet 120a is controlled to discharge water by operating the pet water outlet switch 520, which is convenient for users to use. The pet water outlet switch 520 can be a touch switch or a mechanical switch.

[0048] Furthermore, the pet water outlet switch 520 is provided on the housing 100 and is located above the user drinking area 110. This arrangement can prevent the pet from accidentally touching the water outlet and causing the pet drinking bowl 400 to overflow. In this embodiment, the pet water outlet switch 520 is configured as a mechanical press switch, and the water outlet mode of the pet water outlet 120a adopts the logic of the pet water outlet switch 520+water outlet switch valve 510 control, that is, pressing the pet water outlet switch 520, giving the pet water outlet switch 520 an instruction, and then controlling the opening and closing of the water outlet switch valve 510, so as to realize the water replenishment in the pet drinking bowl 400 and the human control operation can effectively prevent overflow.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The multifunctional drinking water device 10 further includes a one-way valve 600, which is disposed in the connecting pipe 14 and is disposed near the input port of the heating module 300 to prevent the hot water in the heating module 300 from flowing back. Specifically, during the process of heating water by the heating module 300, due to the effect of thermal expansion and contraction, some hot water will flow back into the connecting pipe 14 to affect the water temperature, thereby causing the outlet water temperature of the pet water outlet pipe 13 connected to the connecting pipe 14 to be higher. Therefore, a one-way valve 600 is selected to be disposed between the water inlet end of the pet water outlet pipe 13 and the input port of the heating module 300 to prevent the hot water generated by the heating module 300 from flowing back during the heating process, thereby achieving the requirement of stable water temperature for pet drinking water.

[0050] In one embodiment, the pet drinking bowl 400 is snap-connected, magnetically connected, or mutually abutted with the housing 100. Specifically, in order to facilitate the transportation and installation of the multifunctional drinking water device 10, the pet drinking bowl 400 is adapted to the main part of the multifunctional drinking water device 10 in a detachable connection manner. When in use, the pet drinking bowl 400 can be directly used as a separate component, abutted with the housing 100, and located below the pet water outlet 120a. Of course, in order to prevent the pet from running around at home or the user from accidentally kicking the pet drinking bowl 400, the pet drinking bowl 400 and the housing 100 can be optionally connected by snapping or magnetic connection to further ensure that the position of the pet drinking bowl 400 set in the pet drinking area 120 and located below the pet water outlet 120a will not be offset.

[0051] In one embodiment, the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 and / or the cold water storage chamber 220 has a full water level line, and the full water level line is located above the drinking water outlet 111. Specifically, the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 or the cold water storage chamber 220 has a full water level line, and the full water level line refers to the water in the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 or the cold water storage chamber 220, and its horizontal liquid level height is higher than the liquid level line of the drinking water outlet 111. Such a setting can ensure that the water in the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 or the cold water storage chamber 220 can be transported in the waterway of the multifunctional drinking water device 10 through the liquid level difference, without the need to set up a booster pump separately.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 The drinking water outlet 111 includes a first water outlet 111a and a second water outlet 111b. The cold water storage chamber 220 is connected to the first water outlet 111a through the first water outlet pipeline 11, and the output port of the heating module 300 is connected to the second water outlet 111b through the second water outlet pipeline 12. Specifically, there are two drinking water outlets 111, which correspond to the first water outlet pipeline 11 and the second water outlet pipeline 12. In this embodiment, the first water outlet 111a and the second water outlet 111b are mechanically switched to discharge water.

[0053] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The multifunctional drinking water device 10 further includes a heat exchange component 700, which includes an evaporator 710 and a condenser 720 connected to each other. The evaporator 710 is arranged corresponding to the cold water storage chamber 220 of the refrigeration module 200 to cool the water in the cold water storage chamber 220, and the condenser 720 is used to dissipate heat. Specifically, the refrigeration module 200 in this embodiment cools the water in its cold water storage chamber 220 through the heat exchange component 700, and the heat exchange component 700 includes an evaporator 710, a condenser 720, a compressor 730 and a capillary 740 (or an electronic expansion valve 740), wherein the evaporator 710 can be set on the outer wall surface of the refrigeration module 200, and is arranged corresponding to the position of the cold water storage chamber 220 to cool the water in the cold water storage chamber 220.

[0054] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The water system further includes an exhaust branch 16, which is connected to the heating module 300 and the normal temperature water storage chamber 210. Specifically, the exhaust branch 16 is used to discharge the hot steam generated by heating water in the heating module 300 into the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 to ensure that the gas does not flow out from the second water outlet pipeline 12, thereby ensuring the stability of the hot water outlet.

[0055] In one embodiment, see Figure 4The water system further includes a drainage branch 17, which is connected to the heating module 300. When the user does not use the multifunctional drinking water device 10 using the water system for a long time, the water in the entire water system can be drained through the drainage branch 17, that is, the water in the cooling module 200 and the heating module 300 can be drained.

[0056] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The water system further includes a filter module 800, which is disposed in the water inlet pipe 15. Specifically, when the water inlet pipe 15 is directly connected to municipal water, the filter module 800 needs to be disposed upstream of the refrigeration module 200 to filter the municipal water, and then the municipal water flows into the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 and the refrigeration water storage chamber of the refrigeration module 200, and flows out from the first water outlet pipe 11, the second water outlet pipe 12 and the pet water outlet pipe 13 for drinking by users and pets.

[0057] Further, the filter module 800 includes a first filter element 810 and a second filter element 820, the material of the first filter element 810 is PP, and the material of the second filter element 820 is activated carbon. Specifically, the main material of the first filter element 810 is polypropylene (PP), which has high filtering accuracy, small volume and large filtering area. The PP cotton filter element can effectively filter impurities in the water, such as sediment, rust, suspended matter, etc., making the water clearer and more transparent; it can also remove odors in the water, such as chlorine, odor, etc., to improve the taste and quality of the water; and it has a certain antibacterial ability, which can effectively prevent bacteria from growing in the filter element and ensure the sanitation and safety of the water quality; at the same time, as a pre-filter element of drinking water (water purification) equipment, it can effectively protect subsequent filter elements and equipment, prevent impurities and pollutants from entering the subsequent filter elements and equipment, thereby extending the service life of the equipment; and the PP cotton filter element has a long service life and low maintenance cost, which helps to reduce the operating cost and maintenance cost of the equipment. The second filter element 820 is made of activated carbon. Due to its porous structure, activated carbon has a large specific surface area. The surface area of ​​each gram of activated carbon can reach 500 to 1500 m2. It can efficiently absorb organic matter, residual chlorine, odor, color and other radioactive substances in water. In addition, the activated carbon filter element can effectively remove harmful substances and odors such as formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, etc. in water, and has a significant effect on improving water quality. The setting of two filter elements can further improve the filtering effect of water, thereby improving the health and safety of water used by users and pets.

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figure 4The water system is also provided with a water inlet solenoid valve 910, which is provided in the water inlet pipeline 15. That is to say, the water inlet solenoid valve 910 is provided upstream of the refrigeration module 200, and the setting of the water inlet solenoid valve 910 can be used to control the on-off of the water in the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 flowing to the refrigeration module 200. When the water in the normal temperature water storage chamber 210 is insufficient, the water inlet solenoid valve 910 can automatically control the water replenishment into the normal temperature water storage chamber 210.

[0059] Furthermore, the water inlet solenoid valve 910 is located on the flow path between the first filter element 810 and the second filter element 820. Since the material of the first filter element 810 is PP cotton and the material of the second filter element 820 is activated carbon, being arranged downstream of the first filter element 810 can protect the water inlet solenoid valve 910 from being affected by dirt in the water as much as possible to ensure its service life. At the same time, being arranged upstream of the second filter element 820 can prevent the activated carbon leakage of the second filter element 820 during the filtration process from damaging the water inlet solenoid valve 910.

[0060] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The water system further includes a pressure reducing valve 920, which is disposed in the water inlet pipeline 15 and is located upstream of the filter module 800. Since the inlet water source is municipal water, the setting of the pressure reducing valve 920 can adjust the inlet water pressure of the water system.

[0061] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The water system further includes a water leakage protector 950, which is disposed in the water inlet pipe 15 and is located upstream of the filter module 800. The water leakage protector 950 is used to prevent the water system from leaking, thereby affecting the use of the drinking water equipment.

[0062] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
