Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water equipment technology, and in particular to a pipeline machine. Background Technology

[0002] A water dispenser, also known as a piped water purifier, is a drinking water device that can quickly heat drinking water and is usually used in conjunction with a water purifier. Current pipe dispensers mainly include components such as an inlet valve, water tank, water pump, heating element, and water outlet. Due to the large number of components and complex installation, existing pipe dispensers have a relatively thick overall body.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, Chinese utility model patent ZL202322617091.0 (authorization announcement number CN221505287U) discloses a compact water dispenser, which includes a base shell. The base shell is equipped with a water inlet, a water outlet, a water tank, a water pump, a heating element, and a gas-liquid separator. The gas-liquid separator has a water inlet, a water outlet, and a return outlet. The water inlets of the water inlet, water tank, water pump, heating element, and gas-liquid separator are connected to form a water inlet channel. The water outlet and the water outlet are connected to form a hot water channel. The return outlet and the water tank are connected to form a return channel. The water inlet, water outlet, water tank, water pump, heating element, and gas-liquid separator are all positioned and installed on the base shell.

[0004] While the aforementioned pipeline machine achieves a compact installation by mounting its functional components on the base shell, effectively controlling its thickness, it suffers from the following limitations: the disorganized layout of the components results in low space utilization. Therefore, further improvements to the existing technology are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0011] Furthermore, the bracket also includes a second mounting bracket for installing a water pump, the second mounting bracket being disposed on the side wall of the first mounting bracket away from the recess.

[0012] Preferably, the vertical cross-section of the second mounting bracket is basically L-shaped. The second mounting bracket includes a horizontal part for installing the water pump and a vertical part perpendicular to the horizontal part. The vertical part is located between the water pump and the heating component to separate the water pump and the heating component, and also facilitates the installation of the water pump.

[0013] In this utility model, a drain pipe is also provided on the side of the water pump. One end of the drain pipe is connected to the outlet of the water tank, and the other end of the drain pipe is connected to the inlet of the water pump.

[0014] In order to install the aforementioned drain pipe, the side wall of the first mounting bracket is also provided with an outward-facing constraint portion, and at least a portion of the drain pipe wall is in contact with the inner wall of the constraint portion.

[0015] Preferably, the water tank is located at the top of the housing.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: On the one hand, by installing the water pump, heating component and water outlet pipe on the bracket, the installation of the water pump, heating component and water outlet pipe is more convenient and the layout is neat, and the components are installed compactly; on the other hand, by setting the water inlet pipe and the bracket on the left and right sides below the water tank respectively, the water inlet component and the water outlet component are distributed alternately, which makes the overall spatial layout more neat and reasonable, which is conducive to reducing the overall size of the pipeline machine, especially the wall thickness of the pipeline machine can be made thinner.
