Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent home furnishing, in particular to an intelligent water dispenser. Background Art

[0002] As early as the end of the 19th century, the concept of automatic drinking water dispensers had already appeared. At that time, drinking water dispensers mainly used mechanical principles, such as copper containers filled with heavy stones that generated pressure by rotating to deliver water to a designated location. These early drinking water dispensers were relatively simple in function and had low efficiency. Entering the 20th century, with the advancement of science and technology, the design of drinking water dispensers gradually improved. In the 1950s, hot and cold drinking water dispensers became popular. This type of drinking water dispenser can cool and heat water sources through the working principle of a compressor, providing two options of cold and hot water, meeting people's needs for drinking water temperature in different seasons. In the 1970s, bottled water dispensers began to appear. This type of drinking water dispenser requires the use of regularly replaced barreled water, meeting people's needs for water quality safety. Subsequently, as people's attention to water quality itself increased, various drinking water dispensers with water filtration functions emerged, such as activated carbon drinking water dispensers and reverse osmosis drinking water dispensers. In the late 1990s, direct drinking water machines became popular. This type of water machine can directly filter tap water or drinking water and heat or cool it for people to drink directly, marking that the water quality filtration technology of water machines has reached a new height. Entering the 21st century, with the development of technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence, smart water machines have begun to emerge. This type of water machine not only has traditional heating and cooling functions, but also can monitor water quality in real time, automatically adjust water temperature according to user habits, and can even be remotely controlled through a mobile phone APP. At the same time, smart water machines also integrate energy-saving designs, which can automatically adjust energy consumption according to usage and reduce energy waste.

[0003] The traditional water dispensers widely used at present are cheap and easy to manufacture. Generally, water dispensers are floor-standing, large in size, occupy a large area, and have relatively simple functions. Generally, only heating and cooling functions are available. Like boiling water in a kettle, the water temperature cannot be controlled. When preparing beverages such as baby formula that cannot be directly brewed with boiling water and have certain water temperature requirements, the water temperature can only be adjusted manually based on feeling and experience, which is very troublesome. At the same time, users cannot choose the drinking water temperature and water output that suits them according to their preferences. Utility Model Content
