Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water purification equipment, and in particular to a faucet and an all-in-one water purifier and heater. Background Art

[0002] The faucets and instant faucets used in the integrated heat and water machine all have the function of discharging hot water. For the faucets used in the integrated heat and water machine, the hot water output by the instant heating body in the integrated heat and water machine is discharged from the water outlet in the faucet, while for the instant faucet, the instant heating body is integrated inside, and the hot water output by the instant heating body is discharged from the water outlet. After the instant heating body is turned on, hot water can be discharged within 3-5 seconds, which is popular among consumers. However, in areas with high altitude and low air pressure, the boiling point of water will be lower. When using the integrated heat and water machine and instant faucet in these areas, the maximum temperature of the instant heating body for heating water is generally 95℃, and the water is not really boiled. In addition, because there is a water outlet pipeline between the instant heating body and the water outlet, the hot water will lose some heat when flowing in the water outlet pipeline, resulting in a decrease in the temperature of the hot water, so that the temperature of the boiled water received by the user is often lower than 90℃, which cannot meet the user's demand for high-temperature boiled water. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application provides a faucet and a water purifier and heat all-in-one machine to solve the technical problem that in the above-mentioned areas with high altitude and low air pressure, the instant heating body cannot really boil the water and the temperature of the hot water discharged from the faucet is relatively low.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this application is:

[0005] A faucet comprises a faucet shell, a water spout and a water circuit adapter are arranged in the faucet shell, the water spout has a water outlet and a hot water inlet, the water circuit adapter is provided with a hot water inlet channel connected to the hot water inlet, at least a part of the hot water inlet channel forms a boosting chamber, a protruding water retaining portion is arranged in the boosting chamber, and the water retaining portion can form resistance to liquid entering the boosting chamber.

[0006] The faucet in this application also has the following additional technical features:

[0007] The water retaining portion divides at least a portion of the boosting chamber into a tortuous flow channel, so that the liquid entering the boosting chamber flows in a tortuous state in the flow channel.

[0008] The water retaining portion includes a plurality of water retaining ribs, and the plurality of water retaining ribs are arranged at intervals along the flow direction of the liquid in the pressurizing chamber.

[0009] The water retaining ribs include an upper water retaining rib located at the top of the boosting chamber and extending downward, and a lower water retaining rib located at the bottom of the boosting chamber and extending upward, and the upper water retaining ribs and the lower water retaining ribs are arranged alternately.

[0010] The upper water retaining rib and the lower water retaining rib both extend in the vertical direction; and / or the upper water retaining rib and the lower water retaining rib are respectively constructed as concave structures that are recessed toward the flow direction of the liquid in the boosting chamber.

[0011] The water channel adapter includes a main body and a cover plate, the hot water inlet channel is formed in the main body, the booster chamber has an opening, the cover plate is connected to the main body to close the opening, and the water retaining part is arranged on the main body and / or the cover plate.

[0012] The cover plate is provided with a plurality of protruding positioning bosses, and the main body is provided with positioning grooves adapted to the positioning bosses around the opening, and the positioning bosses are plug-fitted into the positioning grooves.

[0013] The cover plate and / or the main body are provided with welding ribs, and the cover plate and the main body are welded and connected via the welding ribs.

[0014] The hot water inlet channel includes a vertical channel and a horizontal channel, one end of the horizontal channel is connected to the vertical channel, and the other end is connected to the hot water inlet, and the boost chamber is arranged at the end of the horizontal channel connected to the vertical channel.

[0015] The present application provides an all-in-one air conditioner and heat machine, comprising an instant heating body and a faucet as described above, wherein the water outlet of the instant heating body is connected to the hot water inlet channel so that the water retaining portion can form resistance to the liquid outputted from the instant heating body into the boosting chamber.

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical effects achieved by this application are:

[0017] 1. In the faucet provided in the present application, a water channel adapter is connected to the hot water inlet of the water outlet, and the water channel adapter is used to transfer the hot water to the water outlet, wherein the water channel adapter is provided with a hot water inlet channel, and at least part of the hot water inlet channel forms a boosting chamber, and a protruding water retaining portion is provided in the boosting chamber, and the water retaining portion can form resistance to the liquid entering the boosting chamber. Therefore, when the faucet is applied to a water purifier and heat all-in-one machine or an instant hot water faucet, during the water extraction process, the instant hot water needs to be transported to the water outlet through the hot water inlet channel of the water channel adapter after the water is heated by the instant hot water body. Therefore, the hot water passes through the hot water inlet channel of the water channel adapter. When water enters the water inlet channel, it enters the boosting chamber. The water retaining part forms resistance to the hot water entering the boosting chamber, and increases the water flow pressure of the instant heating body connected to the upstream of the water channel adapter, so that the pressure inside the instant heating body is higher than the normal pressure. The boiling point of the water flow in the instant heating body is also higher than the boiling point under normal pressure. The boiling point of water also increases with the increase of pressure. Therefore, the instant heating body can heat the water temperature to not less than 100°C during heating, so that the hot water can be truly boiled. Moreover, even if some heat is lost in the process of boiling water flowing to the water outlet, the water temperature can be ensured to be above 95°C when reaching the water outlet, thereby meeting the user's needs for high-temperature boiling water.

[0018] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the water retaining portion separates at least part of the boosting chamber into a tortuous flow channel, so that the liquid entering the boosting chamber flows in a tortuous state in the flow channel, thereby forming multiple barriers to the liquid along the way, making the pressure increase in the instant heating body located upstream of the hot water inlet channel more obvious, effectively ensuring that the instant heating body can boil the water.

[0019] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the water retaining ribs include an upper water retaining rib located at the top of the boosting chamber and extending downward, and a lower water retaining rib located at the bottom of the boosting chamber and extending upward. The upper water retaining ribs and the lower water retaining ribs are alternately arranged so that the water retaining ribs divide the boosting chamber into an S-shaped flow channel. The hot water entering the boosting chamber also flows in an S-shape, which can maintain continuous water output to the water outlet, making the blocking effect on the water flow more obvious and the boosting effect on the upstream components more obvious.

[0020] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the water circuit adapter includes a main body and a cover plate, the hot water inlet channel is formed in the main body, and the cover plate is connected to the main body to close the opening of the boost chamber. Therefore, the split design of the main body and the cover plate facilitates the processing and forming of the boost chamber and the water retaining part of the water circuit adapter, and can be mass-produced using molds.

[0021] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the hot water inlet channel includes a vertical channel and a horizontal channel, and the boosting chamber is arranged at one end of the horizontal channel connected to the vertical channel. In other words, the boosting chamber is arranged at the position where the water flow just turns from the vertical channel to the horizontal channel. The water flow resistance is large and the flow rate is slow at the position where the water flow turns, which helps to improve the boosting effect on the upstream water channel components.

[0036] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present application, a detailed description is given below in an illustrative manner in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0039] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a communication; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0040] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature "above" or "below" a second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, a faucet and a water purifier and heat all-in-one machine are provided. For the convenience of explanation and understanding, the following contents provided in the present application are all explained on the basis of the illustrated product structure. Of course, those skilled in the art can understand that the above structure is only used as a specific example and schematic description, and cannot constitute a specific limitation of the technical solution provided in the present application.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a faucet provided in the present application includes a faucet shell 1, in which a water spout 2 and a water channel adapter 3 are arranged, the water spout 2 has a water outlet 21 and a hot water inlet 22, the water channel adapter 3 is provided with a hot water inlet channel 31 connected to the hot water inlet 22, at least a part of the hot water inlet channel 31 forms a boosting chamber 32, and a protruding water retaining portion 33 is provided in the boosting chamber 32, and the water retaining portion 33 can form resistance to the liquid entering the boosting chamber 32.

[0043] In the faucet provided in the present application, a water channel adapter 3 is connected to the hot water inlet 22 of the water outlet 2, and the water channel adapter 3 is used to transfer the hot water to the water outlet 2, wherein the water channel adapter 3 is provided with a hot water inlet channel 31, and at least a part of the hot water inlet channel 31 forms a boosting chamber 32, and a protruding water retaining portion 33 is provided in the boosting chamber 32, and the water retaining portion 33 can form resistance to the liquid entering the boosting chamber 32. Therefore, when the faucet is applied to a purifier and heat all-in-one machine or an instant hot water faucet, during the water extraction process, the instant hot water body needs to heat the water and then transport the water to the water outlet 2 through the hot water inlet channel 31 of the water channel adapter 3. Therefore, When the hot water passes through the hot water inlet channel 31, it enters the boosting chamber 32. The water retaining part 33 forms resistance to the hot water entering the boosting chamber 32, and increases the water flow pressure of the instant heating body connected to the upstream of the water path adapter 3, so that the pressure in the instant heating body is higher than the normal pressure, and the boiling point of the water flow in the instant heating body is also higher than the boiling point under normal pressure. The boiling point of water also increases with the increase of pressure. Therefore, when the instant heating body is heated, the water temperature can be heated to not less than 100°C to make the hot water truly boil. Moreover, even if some heat is dissipated in the process of boiling water flowing to the water outlet 2, the water temperature can be ensured to be above 95°C when reaching the water outlet 2, thereby meeting the user's demand for high-temperature boiled water.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the present application schematically illustrates that a hot water pipe 4 for connecting to a water circuit adapter 3 is provided in the faucet. When the faucet is applied to a heat-purifying integrated machine, the hot water pipe 4 can be connected to the water outlet 21 of the instant heating element in the machine body. It should be noted that the present application does not specifically limit the structure of the water retaining portion 33, and it only needs to be able to form resistance to the liquid entering the boosting chamber 32.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, Figure 3As shown, the water retaining portion 33 separates at least part of the pressurizing chamber 32 into a tortuous flow channel, so that the liquid entering the pressurizing chamber 32 flows in a tortuous state in the flow channel. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the liquid entering the pressurizing chamber 32 flows in a tortuous state in the flow channel. Compared with the state of linear flow, the water retaining portion 33 forms multiple obstructions along the liquid to make it flow in a tortuous manner, and the water flow is more obstructed, so that the pressure in the instant heating body located upstream of the hot water inlet channel 31 is increased more significantly, effectively ensuring that the instant heating body can boil water.

[0046] Furthermore, if Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the water retaining portion 33 includes a plurality of water retaining ribs, which are arranged at intervals along the flow direction of the liquid in the boosting chamber 32, so that each water retaining rib can sequentially form a blocking effect during the water flow, thereby forming multiple resistances to the water flow. The present application does not limit the arrangement of the water retaining ribs. For example, all the water retaining ribs can be arranged on the same side of the boosting chamber, or, for example, a portion of the water retaining ribs are arranged on one side of the boosting chamber, and another portion of the water retaining ribs are arranged on the other side opposite to the boosting chamber.

[0047] Preferably, if Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the water retaining ribs include an upper water retaining rib 331 located at the top of the boosting chamber 32 and extending downward, and a lower water retaining rib 332 located at the bottom of the boosting chamber 32 and extending upward, and the upper water retaining ribs 331 and the lower water retaining ribs 332 are arranged alternately. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that, through this design, the water retaining ribs divide the boosting chamber 32 into an S-shaped flow channel, and the hot water entering the boosting chamber 32 also flows in an S-shaped manner ( Figure 5 and Figure 8 The dotted line and arrows schematically illustrate the flow path of water in the boosting chamber 32), which can maintain the continuous output of water to the water outlet 2, while making the blocking effect on the water flow more obvious and the boosting effect on the upstream components more obvious.

[0048] In this embodiment, the structures of the upper water retaining rib 331 and the lower water retaining rib 332 are not limited, and include but are not limited to the following embodiments:

[0049] Embodiment 1: Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the upper water retaining rib 331 and the lower water retaining rib 332 both extend in the vertical direction, so that the upper water retaining rib 331 and the lower water retaining rib 332 have simple structures and are easy to process and demould.

[0050] Embodiment 2: Figure 8 As shown, the upper water retaining rib 331 and the lower water retaining rib 332 are respectively constructed as concave structures that are recessed toward the flow direction of the liquid in the boosting chamber 32. In this embodiment, Figure 8 The dotted line and arrows in the middle schematically illustrate the flow path of water in the boost chamber 32. It can be seen that the concave structure of the upper water retaining rib 331 and the lower water retaining rib 332 causes the water to flow in the opposite direction to a certain extent after colliding with the upper water retaining rib 331 and the lower water retaining rib 332, thereby impacting the water flowing forward toward the water outlet 2. The reversely flowing water increases the resistance to the forward flowing water, thereby helping to improve the boost effect.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the water circuit adapter 3 includes a main body 34 and a cover plate 35, the hot water inlet channel 31 is formed in the main body 34, the boost chamber 32 has an opening, and the cover plate 35 is connected to the main body 34 to close the opening. Therefore, the split design of the main body 34 and the cover plate 35 facilitates the processing and molding of the boost chamber 32 and the water retaining part 33 of the water circuit adapter 3, and can be mass-produced using molds. Specifically, the water retaining part 33 can be set on the main body 34 or on the cover plate 35. In the aforementioned embodiment, the upper water retaining rib 331 can be set on the cover plate 35, and the lower water retaining rib 332 can be set on the main body 34.

[0052] In order to ensure the sealing effect of the boost chamber 32, the main body 34 and the cover plate 35 need to be reliably sealed and connected. Regarding the connection method between the two, in a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cover plate 35 is provided with a plurality of protruding positioning bosses 36, and the main body 34 is provided with positioning grooves 37 adapted to the positioning bosses 36 around the opening, and the positioning bosses 36 are inserted and matched with the positioning grooves 37. By inserting and matching the positioning bosses 36 and the positioning grooves 37, the assembly accuracy of the cover body and the main body 34 is made higher to ensure the stability of the pressure in the boost chamber 32. Moreover, the insertion and matching of the positioning bosses 36 and the positioning grooves 37 can also have a pre-positioning effect on the cover plate 35 and the main body 34, so that other modes of connection can be smoothly performed after the pre-positioning. In another preferred embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the main body 34 is provided with a welding rib 38, and the cover plate 35 and the main body 34 are welded and connected through the welding rib 38. The main body 34 and the cover plate 35 are welded and connected, and the connection strength is high, stable and reliable, and also has good sealing performance. In other embodiments, welding ribs can also be provided on the cover plate 35.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the hot water inlet channel 31 includes a vertical channel 311 and a horizontal channel 312. One end of the horizontal channel 312 is connected to the vertical channel 311, and the other end is connected to the hot water inlet 22. The boosting chamber 32 is arranged at the end of the horizontal channel 312 connected to the vertical channel 311. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the boosting chamber 32 is arranged at the end of the horizontal channel 312 connected to the vertical channel 311. In other words, the boosting chamber 32 is arranged at the position where the water flow just turns from the vertical channel 311 to the horizontal channel 312. The water flow resistance at the turning position of the water flow is large and the flow velocity is slow, which helps to improve the boosting effect on the upstream waterway components.

[0054] The present application also provides an all-in-one air conditioner and heat machine, including an instant heating element, and also including a faucet as described above, wherein the water outlet of the instant heating element is connected to the hot water inlet channel, so that the water retaining part can form resistance to the liquid outputted from the instant heating element to the boost chamber. In the all-in-one air conditioner and heat machine provided by the present application, when the instant heating element delivers hot water to the water outlet, under the action of the boost chamber and the water retaining part, the pressure of the internal water cavity of the instant heating element is effectively increased, so that the instant heating element can truly boil water in areas with high altitude, low air pressure and low water boiling point, ensuring that the temperature of the boiled water received by the user is higher than 95°C, meeting the user's demand for high-temperature boiled water. The all-in-one air conditioner and heat machine of the present application includes the faucet in any of the above-mentioned embodiments and examples, and therefore, the all-in-one air conditioner and heat machine includes other technical effects of the faucet, which will not be elaborated here.

[0055] Anything not described in this application can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0056] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0057] The above is only an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
