[0048] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0049] The water and electricity integrated connector 100 and the water outlet device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The water and electricity integrated connector 100 and the water outlet device have simple structures, are safe and reliable, and are easy to operate.

[0050] Existing under-cabinet water outlets typically require multiple water pipes and electrical control lines between the outlet terminal and the under-cabinet water outlet, complicating the under-cabinet space. Furthermore, installing the under-cabinet water outlet and the outlet terminal requires finding and inserting the water pipe and electrical connectors separately, which is quite cumbersome. In light of this, to streamline and optimize the complex under-cabinet space and to simplify and expedite the installation of the water pipe and electrical connectors, the inventors conducted extensive research and design, ultimately resulting in a water-electricity integrated connector 100. This connector, with its rational and ingenious structure, addresses both of these issues.

[0051] See also Figures 1 to 10The water and electricity integrated connector 100 of the specific embodiment includes a pipe integration portion 1 and a water and electricity plug portion 2. The pipe integration portion 1 is provided with a pipe accommodating cavity 11, which can integrate and store water pipes and electrical wires. This not only makes the wiring space more concise and orderly, but also provides a certain degree of protection for the water pipes and electrical wires, preventing damage by rodents and insects. The water and electricity plug portion 2 includes a plug portion body 21 and a water pipe connector 22 and an electrical connector 23 provided on the plug portion body 21. The water pipe connector 22 is connected to the water pipe, and the electrical connector 23 is connected to the electrical wires. Integrating the water pipe connector 22 and the electrical connector 23 on the plug portion body 21 can not only simplify the complicated installation operation, but also make the installation structure more reasonable and compact. The water pipe connector 22 has a different plug-in direction than the electrical connector 23. That is, when the plug-in body 21 is plugged in, the water pipe connector 22 and the electrical connector 23 on the plug-in body 21 are not plugged in simultaneously. Instead, the water pipe connector 22 and the electrical connector 23 need to be plugged in step by step. This effectively avoids the risk of leakage or short circuit caused by water and electricity interference during plugging, making the plug-in structure more reasonable, reliable, and safe. Furthermore, by configuring the water pipe connector 22 and the electrical connector 23 to be plugged in step by step, the overall structure can be further simplified and reasonable, without the need for an overly complex sealing structure between the water pipe connector 22 and the electrical connector 23. In addition, since the water pipe connector plugging direction of the water pipe connector 22 is different from the electrical connector plugging direction of the electrical connector 23, that is, at least one of the water pipe connector plugging direction and the electrical connector plugging direction is different from the plugging direction of the plug-in part body, the water and electricity integrated connector 100 can form a self-locking structure with the plugged-in device after completing the water and electricity plugging operation, preventing the water and electricity integrated connector 100 from loosening from the plugged-in device, so that the water and electricity integrated connector 100 is more firmly and safely fixed inside the body of the plugged-in device.

[0052] Among them, the arrangement relationship between the water pipe connector plugging direction of the water pipe connector 22 and the electric connector plugging direction of the electric connector 23 can be various. For example, the water pipe connector plugging direction of the water pipe connector 22 is different from the electric connector plugging direction of the electric connector 23 and the water pipe connector plugging direction of the water pipe connector 22 is the same as the plugging direction of the plug-in body of the plug-in part body 21. At this time, the plugging direction of the electric connector is different from the plug-in direction of the plug-in part body, and the electric connector 23 can be set to be able to extend out of the plug-in part body 21 or retract and be stored in the plug-in part body 21; or the water pipe connector plugging direction of the water pipe connector 22 and the electric connector plugging direction of the electric connector 23 are opposite and both are different from the plug-in direction of the plug-in part body of the plug-in part body 21, etc. At this time, both the water pipe connector 22 and the electric connector 23 can be set to be able to extend out of the plug-in part body 21 or retract and be stored in the plug-in part body 21. In addition, the direction of the water pipe connector 22 and the direction of the electric connector 23 can be arranged in various ways. For example, one of the water pipe connector and the electric connector is horizontal, and the other is vertical; or one of the water pipe connector and the electric connector is horizontal, and the other is inclined upward, etc. The present invention is not limited to this.

[0053] Optionally, the electrical connector 23 can be provided on the front end face 211 of the plug-in portion body 21, and the plug-in direction of the plug-in portion body 21 is the same as the plug-in direction of the electrical connector 23. In this way, the electrical connector 23 can be plugged in synchronously with the plug-in portion body 21, making the structure of the plug-in portion body 21 simpler and more reasonable, effectively reducing production and manufacturing costs. In addition, the electrical connector 23 is plugged in before the water pipe connector 22, which is further conducive to ensuring the safety of the plug-in connection operation. Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the plug body 21 is cylindrical, and the axial direction of the plug body 21 is the plugging direction of the plug body. There is one electrical connector 23 and it is provided on the plugging front end surface 211 of the plug body 21. The electrical connector 23 is coaxial with the axial direction of the plug body 21. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. There can also be multiple electrical connectors 23. The electrical connector plugging directions of the multiple electrical connectors 23 can be the same as the plugging direction of the plug body 21. In this case, the multiple electrical connectors 23 can be coaxial with the axis of the plug body 21.

[0054] Alternatively, as Figures 3 to 6As shown, the plug-in body 21 may be provided with a water pipe connector extension port 212, from which the water pipe connector 22 can be extended from the plug-in body 21 or retracted into the plug-in body 21. In this way, when the plug-in body 21 needs to be inserted into a plugged device, the water pipe connector 22 can be retracted into the plug-in body 21 to avoid interfering with the plug-in port of the plug-in device and hindering the plug-in operation. Moreover, when the plug-in body 21 has been inserted into the plug-in device and the electrical connector 23 has been inserted, the water pipe connector 22 can be extended from the plug-in body 21 through the water pipe connector extension port 212 to complete the plug-in operation of the water pipe connector 22 itself. At the same time, the water pipe connector 22 can form a self-locking structure of the water and electricity plug-in part 2, preventing the water and electricity integrated connector 100 from loosening from the plug-in device, so that the water and electricity integrated connector 100 is more firmly and securely fixed inside the plug-in device. Among them, the driving structure for driving the water pipe connector 22 to perform telescopic movement can be various, such as a knob driving a gear to rotate, and then the gear drives a rack provided with the water pipe connector 22 to move, or other driving structures, etc., which will be explained with examples below.

[0055] In some embodiments, the water and electricity integrated connector 100 may further include a wrench portion 3 disposed between the pipeline integration portion 1 and the water and electricity plug portion 2. The wrench portion 3 is rotatably disposed on the water and electricity plug portion 2 and forms a transmission connection with the water pipe connector 22. In this way, the user can turn the wrench portion 3 to form different rotation angles with the water and electricity plug portion 2 to drive the water pipe connector 22 to perform telescopic movement, which is simple and convenient to operate. Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the water and electricity plug-in portion 2 is fixed in position, and the wrench portion 3 can rotate around the water and electricity plug-in portion 2 from a first rotational position to a second rotational position. In the first rotational position of the wrench portion 3, the water pipe connector 22 is retracted into the plug-in portion body 21. In the second rotational position of the wrench portion 3, the water pipe connector 22 extends out of the plug-in portion body 21. Here, the angle between the first rotational position and the second rotational position of the wrench portion 3 is 90°, but the present invention is not limited to this. The angle between the first rotational position and the second rotational position can be other angles, such as an acute angle or an obtuse angle, and can be designed according to actual production and application needs.

[0056] Optionally, the wrench portion 3 can drive the water pipe connector 22 to move along the water pipe connector plugging direction through a connecting rod transmission mechanism. The connecting rod driving mechanism can be in various forms. For example, in some specific embodiments, the plug-in body 21 can be in the shape of a hollow cylinder, and the connecting rod transmission mechanism is arranged in the hollow cavity of the plug-in body 21. Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the cross-section of the water and electricity plug part 2 can be a tangent circle, so that the user can be quickly reminded of the correct insertion and placement position of the plug part body 21, and the shape is also more beautiful.

[0057] Furthermore, if Figures 3 to 8As shown, the plug-in direction of the plug-in body is arranged along the axis of the plug-in body 21, and the wrench portion 3 is an L-shaped connecting arm and includes a first connecting arm 31 and a second connecting arm 32. The first connecting arm 31 is fixedly connected to the pipeline integration unit 1, and the second connecting arm 32 is disposed on the plug-in rear end surface 213 of the plug-in body 21 and is rotatable about the axis of the plug-in body 21. Of course, in addition to being an L-shaped connecting arm, the wrench portion 3 can also be a straight arm, in which case the wrench portion 3 includes a pivoting connection end at one end and a pivoting free end at the other end. Alternatively, the wrench portion 3 can also have other shapes, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0058] Furthermore, the connecting rod transmission mechanism includes an active rocker 24 and an intermediate connecting rod 25. One end of the active rocker 24 is connected to the second connecting arm 32 and is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the wrench part 3. Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a rotating shaft is axially provided in the hollow cavity of the plug-in body 21, and the rotating shaft can rotate around the axis of the plug-in body 21 and includes a front end portion of the shaft and a rear end portion of the shaft. The rear end portion of the shaft extends out of the plug-in rear end face 213 of the plug-in body 21 and is formed with a shaft positioning connection block, which is fixedly connected to the second connecting arm 32 and drives the rotating shaft to rotate around the rotation axis of the wrench part 3 following the wrench part 3. A shaft hollow cavity is provided between the front end portion and the rear end portion of the rotating shaft, and the shaft hollow cavity can accommodate the water pipe of the water pipe connector 22. The front end portion and the rear end portion of the rotating shaft can be connected by at least one intermediate connecting rod. When there is one intermediate connecting rod, the intermediate connecting rod is the active rocker 24 and is arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the wrench part 3 at intervals. In this way, when the wrench part 3 rotates, the active rocker 24 can rotate around the rotation axis of the wrench part 3 following the wrench part 3. As shown Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, there are two intermediate connecting rods, one of which is an active rocker 24 arranged parallel to the rotation axis of the wrench part 3, and the other is a main connecting rod, which is used to connect the front end of the shaft and the rear end of the shaft and make the structure of the rotating shaft more stable and reliable.

[0059] Optionally, the water pipe joint 22 may include a protruding plug end and a transmission end, one end of the intermediate connecting rod 25 is pivotally connected to the active rocker 24 and can pivot around the axis of the active rocker 24, and the other end of the intermediate connecting rod 25 is pivotally connected to the transmission end of the water pipe joint 22. In this way, when the wrench part 3 rotates, the intermediate connecting rod 25 can be driven to move by the active rocker 24, and the intermediate connecting rod 25 drives the transmission end of the water pipe joint 22 to perform telescopic movement. Figure 4As shown, when the wrench part 3 is in the first rotation position, the active rocker 24 rotates to below the rotation axis of the wrench part 3, the active rocker 24 drives the intermediate connecting rod 25 to move downward, and the intermediate connecting rod 25 then drives the water pipe connector 22 to retract into the plug-in body 21; Figure 7 As shown, when the wrench part 3 is in the second rotation position, the active rocker 24 rotates upward and drives the intermediate connecting rod 25 to move upward, and the intermediate connecting rod 25 then drives the water pipe connector 22 to extend out of the plug-in body 21.

[0060] Optionally, the opening peripheral wall of the water pipe joint extension port 212 can extend in the opposite direction of the water pipe joint insertion direction to form a water pipe joint telescopic guide portion (not shown in the figure). In this way, the water pipe joint telescopic guide portion can limit the movement freedom of the water pipe joint 22 so that the water pipe joint 22 can perform linear telescopic movement along the guide direction of the water pipe joint telescopic guide portion, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the telescopic movement of the water pipe joint 22.

[0061] Furthermore, in order to prevent the wrench part 3 from being easily pulled and changing the plug-in state and to ensure the safety and reliability of the plug-in structure of the water and electricity plug-in part 2, the water and electricity plug-in part 2 may be provided with a locking structure for fixing the rotation position of the wrench part 3. The locking structure may be various. In some embodiments, for example, Figures 7 to 10 As shown, a slot 2131 is provided on the rear plug-in end face 213 of the plug-in portion body 21, and a spring clip 322 may be provided on the second connecting arm 32. For example, the spring clip 322 is in the shape of an elongated column and includes a rear end serving as a stop end and a front end serving as a clip end. The rear end of the spring clip 322 is abutted against the rear wall of the second connecting arm 32 via an elastic compression member, while the front end of the spring clip 322 abuts against the rear plug-in end face 213 of the plug-in portion body 21. When the wrench portion 3 is rotated to the second rotational position, since the slot 2131 is provided at a position corresponding to the second rotational position of the spring clip 322, the front end of the spring clip 322 is inserted into the slot 2131 under the action of the elastic compression member, forming a locking structure.

[0062] Furthermore, in order to enable the locked wrench portion 3 to be reset, an unlocking structure may be provided on the water and electricity plug portion 2. In some embodiments, the spring buckle 322 may be provided with an unlocking button 321. Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the unlocking button 321 and the rear end of the spring clip 322 form a lever motion structure. When the unlocking button 321 is pressed forward, the rear end of the spring clip 322 is pulled backward. At this time, the front end of the spring clip 322 can be disengaged from the slot 2131 to unlock the wrench part 3 from the second rotation position.

[0063] Optionally, in order to prevent the user from misinterpreting the lock operation due to accidentally touching the unlock button, Figure 5As shown, an unlock button groove 323 for accommodating the unlock button 321 is provided on the axial end face of the second connecting arm 32, and the pressing surface of the unlock button 321 is located in the unlock button groove 323. In this way, the unlock button 321 can be protected in the unlock button groove 323 to prevent the user from making an incorrect operation.

[0064] Optionally, in order to ensure the sealing of the interface connection and ensure safe water flow, the outer peripheral wall of the water pipe joint 22 can be provided with a sealing ring 221. Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, two sealing rings 221 can be provided, and waterproof performance is better. In addition, in order to further ensure water and electricity safety, corresponding waterproof sealing rings can also be provided on the electrical connector 23.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, there can be two water and electricity plug-in parts 2, which are respectively provided at both ends of the pipeline integrated part 1. In this way, the plug-in operation at both ends of the water and electricity integrated connector 100 is equally convenient and reliable.

[0066] In some embodiments, because the connected equipment produces a variety of different types of water, such as room temperature water, cold water, and soda water, multiple water pipes are installed between the connected equipment and the water terminal. This increases the complexity of the under-cabinet space and complicates the pipe connection operation. This further highlights the advantages of the water-power integrated connector 100 of the present invention. The water-power plug-in portion 2 of the water-power integrated connector 100 can include multiple water pipe connectors 22, which can be connected simultaneously, further facilitating the connection operation and making the under-cabinet space more concise and organized, providing a better user experience.

[0067] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a plurality of water pipe connectors 22 can be arranged at intervals along the plugging direction of the plugging part body 21 , so that the structure of the water and electricity plugging part 2 is more reasonable and simple.

[0068] Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a water outlet device, which includes a water outlet device body (not shown in the figure) and the above-mentioned water-electricity integrated connector 100, and the water outlet device body is provided with a water-electricity interface slot, and the water-electricity plug-in part 2 is matched and inserted into the water-electricity interface slot. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the water-electricity interface slot perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the plug-in part body can match the cross-sectional shape of the water-electricity plug-in part 2 perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the plug-in part body. In addition, in the water-electricity interface slot, the inner groove wall of the water-electricity interface slot is provided with a water pipe connector slot structure and an electric connector slot structure with different directions, the water pipe connector 22 of the water-electricity plug-in part 2 is matched and plugged with the water pipe connector slot structure of the water-electricity interface slot, and the electric connector 23 of the water-electricity plug-in part 2 is matched and plugged with the electric connector slot structure of the water-electricity interface slot. Optionally, the water outlet device can be an under-cabinet water purification device or a beverage preparation device, etc.

[0069] In summary, the present invention provides a water-power integrated connector and a water outlet device, which have a simple structure, are safe and reliable, are easy to operate, and provide a good user experience.
