Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water dispensers, and in particular to an automatic water filling mechanism for a water dispenser. Background Art

[0002] According to the installation method, bottled water dispensers can be divided into top-mounted water dispensers and bottom-mounted water dispensers. Among them, the top-mounted bottled water is installed upside down, while the bottom-mounted bottled water is installed forward. Compared with the two, the top-mounted bottled water needs to be lifted to the top of the water dispenser, while the bottom-mounted bottled water only needs to be placed vertically in the placement box at the bottom of the water dispenser. Therefore, the loading and unloading method of the bottom-mounted water dispenser is more labor-saving and convenient, and at the same time greatly reduces the possibility of bottled water leakage, so it is deeply favored by users.

[0003] However, in actual applications, the placement box of a traditional bottom-mounted water dispenser has a certain height above the work floor. Users need to lift the entire barrel of water upwards, then place the bottled water on the extension plate on the placement box, and then adjust the position of the bottled water until the bottled water is completely placed in the placement box to facilitate the connection of the water pipe of the water dispenser. During this process, on the one hand, users still need to spend a lot of effort to complete the installation of the bottled water; on the other hand, the bottled water first contacts the extended end of the extension plate. Since the extension plate is suspended, the extension plate is unevenly stressed. Over time, the extension plate will be bent or even broken. Therefore, it cannot meet the needs of users. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to improve the convenience of users installing bottled water when using a bottom-mounted water dispenser and at the same time achieve the purpose of extending the service life of the bottom-mounted water dispenser, the present application provides an automatic water filling mechanism for the water dispenser.

[0005] The present application provides an automatic water filling mechanism for a water dispenser, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A water dispenser automatic water filling mechanism includes a body, the body includes a placement box arranged at the bottom thereof, an extension plate is arranged in the placement box, the extension plate includes a connecting portion and a supporting portion, the connecting portion and the supporting portion are assembled to form an L-shaped structure, a connector is installed on one side of the connecting portion, a driving member is provided at the bottom of the connector, the driving member is used to drive the extension plate to slide along the bottom wall of the placement box, a connecting rod is movably connected between the connecting member and the bottom wall of the placement box, the bottom surface of the water bucket abuts against the side of the connecting portion facing away from the connecting member, and the side surface of the water bucket abuts against the supporting portion.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the L-shaped structure design enables the extension plate to support the bottom and sides of the bucket at the same time, ensuring the stability of the bucket during the loading process, and effectively reducing the shaking or tilting of the bucket during the pushing process, thereby improving the safety of the entire water filling process. In this application, the user only needs to place the bucket horizontally on the extension plate, and the driving member serves as the power source to drive the extension plate to slide along the bottom wall of the placement box while realizing the flipping function, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically installing the bucket. The user is more labor-saving, which helps to improve the convenience of the user to install bottled water. At the same time, it also reduces the problems caused by improper operation of the user and improves the accuracy of the bucket installation. At the same time, compared with the vertically placed bucket, the horizontally placed bucket has a larger contact area with the extension plate, so the load can be transferred to the extension plate more evenly, reducing the deformation or breakage of the extension plate, which helps to extend the service life of the water dispenser.

[0008] Preferably, the driving member includes a cylinder and a slider, the slider is assembled at the output end of the cylinder, a fixing plate is provided on the top surface of the slider, a first hinge seat is fixed on the top surface of the fixing plate, and one end of the connecting member is fixed to the first hinge seat by an axial connection.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider is assembled at the output end of the cylinder and can move linearly with the movement of the cylinder to ensure the precise application and transmission of the driving force. The fixed plate arranged on the top surface of the slider provides a stable support foundation for the first articulated seat. The first articulated seat is fixed to the connecting member by an axial connection, which can ensure that the connecting member can rotate flexibly under the action of the driving force, thereby realizing the flipping of the bucket placed on the extension plate and achieving the purpose of automatically installing the bucket.

[0010] Preferably, a storage groove is provided on a side of the connecting portion facing away from the connecting piece, and the storage groove is adapted to the bottom surface of the bucket.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a storage groove is opened on the side of the connecting part away from the connecting piece, so that the bottom of the bucket can fit tightly in the storage groove, effectively reducing the sliding and deviation of the bucket during the pushing process, and improving the installation stability of the bucket.

[0012] Preferably, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the side of the support portion, and the side of the bucket is adapted to be snap-fitted into the arc-shaped groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc groove opened on the side of the support part is adapted to the side of the bucket, so that the bucket can be tightly clamped in the arc groove during the pushing process, further enhancing the stability of the bucket during the pushing process.

[0014] Preferably, a clamping seat is fixed to the top wall of the placement box, and an inverted "U" - shaped opening adapted to the shape and size of the head of the water bucket is formed on the bottom surface of the clamping seat.

[0015] By adopting the above - mentioned technical solution, the inverted "U" - shaped opening formed on the bottom surface of the clamping seat is adapted to the shape and size of the head of the water bucket, which can ensure the stability of the water bucket after filling with water and improve the installation accuracy of the water bucket.

[0016] Preferably, there are multiple driving members, and the fixing plate is simultaneously installed on the top surfaces of multiple sliders.

[0017] By adopting the above - mentioned technical solution, multiple driving members act simultaneously, enhancing the force and stability of pushing the water bucket. Moreover, the fixing plate is simultaneously installed on the top surfaces of multiple sliders, making the driving force more evenly distributed, avoiding the deviation or jamming phenomenon caused by single - point force. By increasing the number of driving members, the redundancy of the system is improved, making the pushing process smoother and more reliable.

[0018] Preferably, anti - slip members are respectively arranged in the inner cavity of the placement groove and on the arc - shaped groove.

[0019] By adopting the above - mentioned technical solution, the anti - slip members have good anti - slip performance and can provide additional friction. The anti - slip members arranged in the inner cavity of the placement groove and on the arc - shaped groove can effectively reduce the sliding phenomenon of the water bucket during the water - filling process, ensure that the water bucket remains stable when receiving the pushing force, and thus improve the success rate of water filling.

[0020] Preferably, it includes a machine cover, the machine cover is hinged to the machine body, the machine cover covers the opening of the placement box, and an anti - collision strip is fixed to the side of the machine cover facing the opening of the placement box.

[0021] By adopting the above - mentioned technical solution, the design of the machine cover makes the water dispenser more neat and beautiful in appearance and at the same time plays a role in protecting the internal mechanism. The setting of the anti - collision strip effectively reduces the collision force between the machine cover and the edge of the opening of the placement box during the closing process, which helps to extend the service life of the water dispenser.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] ]>1. The user only needs to horizontally place the water bucket on the extension plate. The driving member serves as the power source, driving the extension plate to slide along the bottom wall of the placement box while realizing the flipping function, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically installing the water bucket. The user is more labor - saving, which helps to improve the convenience of the user to install barreled water;

[0024] 2. Placing the bucket horizontally and then automatically flipping it over to install it, compared to placing the bucket vertically, allows for a larger contact surface with the extension plate. This allows for a more even transfer of load to the extension plate, reducing deformation or breakage of the extension plate and helping to extend the life of the water dispenser.

[0025] 3. Automatic installation of buckets can reduce problems caused by improper operation of users and improve the accuracy of bucket installation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application discloses an automatic water filling mechanism for a water dispenser.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-3A water dispenser automatic water filling mechanism includes a body 1, which includes a placement box 2 arranged at the bottom thereof, an extension plate 3 arranged in the placement box 2, and the extension plate 3 includes a connecting portion 31 and a supporting portion 32. The connecting portion 31 and the supporting portion 32 are arranged perpendicularly, so that the entire extension plate 3 presents an L-shaped structure. In this application, a storage groove 311 is opened on the side of the connecting portion 31 away from the connecting member 4, and the storage groove 311 is adapted to the bottom surface of the water bucket 7; an arc-shaped groove 321 is opened on the side of the supporting portion 32, and the side of the water bucket 7 is adapted to be snapped into the arc-shaped groove 321. Anti-slip parts (not shown in the figure) are respectively provided on the inner cavity of the storage groove 311 and the arc-shaped groove 321.

[0036] In the present application, a storage groove 311 is opened on the side of the connecting portion 31 away from the connecting piece 4, so that the bottom of the bucket 7 can fit tightly in the storage groove 311, effectively reducing the sliding and deviation of the bucket 7 during the pushing process, and improving the installation stability of the bucket 7. At the same time, the arc groove 321 opened on the side of the supporting portion 32 is adapted to the side of the bucket 7, so that the bucket 7 can be tightly clamped in the arc groove 321 during the pushing process, thereby enhancing the stability of the bucket 7 during the pushing process.

[0037] This application does not specifically limit the specific shape and structure of the anti-slip part. It can be a rubber pad with anti-slip function, or it can be a frosted surface opened in the storage groove 311 and the arc groove 321. The anti-slip part has good anti-slip performance and can provide additional friction to further ensure that the bucket 7 can remain stable when subjected to pushing force.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 A connector 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting part 31, and a driving part 6 is provided at the bottom of the connecting part 4. The driving part 6 is used to drive the extension plate 3 to slide along the bottom wall of the placement box 2. A connecting rod 5 is movably connected between the connecting part 4 and the bottom wall of the placement box 2, so that the bottom surface of the bucket 7 is in contact with the side of the connecting part 31 away from the connecting part 4, and the side of the bucket 7 is in contact with the supporting part 32. The L-shaped structure design enables the extension plate 3 to support the bottom and side of the bucket 7 at the same time, ensuring the stability of the bucket 7 during the loading process, effectively reducing the shaking or tilting of the bucket 7 during the pushing process, thereby improving the safety of the entire water filling process.

[0039] Specifically, in the present application, the driving member 6 includes a cylinder 61 and a slider 62. The slider 62 is assembled at the output end of the cylinder 61. A fixing plate 63 is provided on the top surface of the slider 62. A first hinge seat 631 is fixed on the top surface of the fixing plate 63. One end of the connecting member 4 is fixed to the first hinge seat 631 by an axial connection.

[0040] More specifically, a second hinge seat 21 is provided on the bottom wall of the placement box 2 near the connecting rod 5. The connecting rod 5 and the second hinge seat 21, and the connecting rod 5 and the connecting rod are respectively connected by means of shaft connection, so that the connecting rod 5 can flexibly adjust the angle during the water filling process, thereby better transmitting the driving force and adapting to the movement requirements of the mechanism, which helps to improve the transmission efficiency of the water filling mechanism.

[0041] In this application, there are multiple driving members 6, and the fixing plate 63 is simultaneously installed on the top surfaces of multiple sliders 62, so that the driving force is more evenly distributed, avoiding the deviation or jamming phenomenon caused by single-point force, and thus making the process of pushing the water bucket 7 smoother and more reliable.

[0042] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown in, a clamping seat 8 is fixed on the top wall of the placement box 2, and an inverted "U"-shaped opening 81 adapted to the shape and size of the head of the water bucket 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the clamping seat 8. The water filling mechanism of this application further includes a machine cover 9, the machine cover 9 is hinged on the machine body 1, and the machine cover 9 covers the opening 81 of the placement box 2 to play a role in protecting the internal mechanism. An anti-collision strip 91 is fixed on one side of the machine cover 9 facing the opening 81 of the placement box 2, which can effectively reduce the collision force between the machine cover 9 and the edge of the opening 81 of the placement box 2 during the closing process, and helps to extend the service life of the water dispenser.

[0043] During application, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in, the user horizontally places the water bucket 7 on the extension plate 3, makes the bottom surface of the water bucket 7 abut against the side of the connecting part 31 away from the connecting piece 4, and at the same time makes the side surface of the water bucket 7 abut against the supporting part 32. Then, the cylinder barrel 61 is started, and the slider (此处原文有误,应为slider 62) can带动水桶7沿着缸筒61进行滑行(此处原文表述不清,推测翻译为“带动水桶7沿着缸筒61滑动”), and under the cooperation of the connecting piece 4 and the connecting rod 5, the extension plate 3 slides along the bottom wall of the placement box 2 while realizing the flipping function, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically installing the water bucket 7. When the water bucket 7 is completely changed from the horizontal state to the vertical state, the head of the water bucket 7 is engaged with the clamping seat 8 in a matching manner, improving the installation accuracy of the water bucket 7.

[0044] The above are all the preferred embodiments of this application. This embodiment is only an explanation of this application and does not limit the protection scope of this application accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
