[0051] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0052] Refer to the attached Figures 1 - 13 To describe in detail a waterway assembly 100 for a drinking water device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Among them, the drinking water device can be an under-counter water dispenser or a tabletop direct drinking machine.

[0053] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the waterway assembly 100 includes: a housing 10 and a waterway board assembly 20. The housing 10 defines a pipe cavity, and the waterway board assembly 20 is detachably disposed in the pipe cavity. That is, the waterway board assembly 20 can be assembled as a whole in the pipe cavity and can be pulled out from the pipe cavity as a whole. Thereby, it is convenient for the user to clean or replace the waterway board assembly 20.

[0054] Specifically, the waterway board assembly 20 includes a waterway board 21, an inlet pipe 22, and an outlet pipe 23. Among them, the waterway board 21 has a water inlet interface 211 and a water outlet interface 231. The inlet pipe 22 is communicated with the water inlet interface 211, and the outlet pipe 23 is communicated with the water outlet interface 213. That is, the waterway board 21 constructs a mutually communicated channel. Water is introduced into the channel through the inlet pipe 22, and the water in the channel is led out through the outlet pipe 23. In other words, the waterway board 21 of the present application integrates the inlet pipe 22 and the outlet pipe 23, and switches the flow direction of the water flow through the channel of the waterway board 21, so as to meet the water outlet requirements in different directions. It should be noted that the connection between the above-mentioned inlet pipe 22 and the water inlet interface 211 and the connection between the outlet pipe 23 and the water outlet interface 213 can be directly communicated or indirectly communicated.

[0055] After the waterway board assembly 20 is uniformly withdrawn from the lumen of the pipe, the water inlet pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 23 can be detached from the waterway board 21, and the water inlet pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 23 can be disinfected separately with high-temperature water or cleaning liquid.

[0056] The waterway assembly 100 further includes a driving assembly 30, which is also built into the lumen of the pipe. The driving assembly 30 includes a water pump 31, and the water pump 31 is used to drive the water flow from the water inlet pipe 22 to the water outlet pipe 23. Among them, the water pump 31 can be connected to the water inlet pipe 22. In this case, the inlet of the water inlet pipe 22 is communicated with the outlet of the water pump 31, the outlet of the water inlet pipe 22 is communicated with the water inlet interface 211 of the waterway board 21, and the inlet of the water pump 31 is communicated with the water source; or the water pump 31 can also be connected to the water outlet pipe 23. In this case, the inlet of the water outlet pipe 23 is communicated with the outlet of the water pump 31, and the inlet of the water pump 31 is communicated with the water outlet interface 213 of the waterway board 21. In order to reduce the number of pipelines, the water inlet pipe 22 or the water outlet pipe 23 can be provided with three interfaces, that is, the water inlet pipe 22 or the water outlet pipe 23 is connected between the water pump 31 and the waterway board 21 at the same time. For example, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the water outlet pipe 23 has three interfaces. The first interface 231 is communicated with the water outlet interface 213 of the waterway board 21, the second interface 233 is communicated with the inlet 311 of the water pump 31 and the first interface 231 and the second interface 233 are communicated with each other, and the third interface 235 is communicated with the outlet 312 of the water pump 31.

[0057] It can be understood that in any of the above cases, when the waterway board assembly 20 is withdrawn from the lumen of the pipe, it will not affect the electrical connection of the water pump 31. That is to say, although there is a connection relationship between the waterway board assembly 20 and the water pump 31, they can be separated from each other. That is, during the process of withdrawing the waterway board assembly 20 from the lumen of the pipe, the water pump 31 remains in the lumen of the pipe. On the one hand, it can ensure the integrity of the circuit, and on the other hand, it can avoid the risk of electric shock for users during use.

[0058] In short, for the waterway assembly 100 of the drinking water device according to the embodiment of the invention, by detachably arranging the waterway board assembly 20 in the lumen defined by the housing 10, it is convenient for users to clean or replace the waterway board assembly 20, avoid the growth of bacteria in the pipeline, and improve the water use safety.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 Combined with Figure 3As shown in the figure, the housing 10 includes a first cylinder 11 and a second cylinder 12 that are connected to each other. Among them, the first cylinder 11 extends in the vertical direction, the second cylinder 12 is L-shaped, and the second cylinder 12 includes a first section 126 and a second section 127 that are connected to each other. The first section 126 extends in the horizontal direction, and the second section 127 extends in the vertical direction. The water circuit board 21 is located at the corner of the first section 126 and the second section 127. That is to say, the housing 10 includes upper and lower parts. Since the extending directions of the first cylinder 11 and the second cylinder 12 are different, the water inlet pipe 22 and the water outlet pipe 23 are connected through the water circuit board 21 to realize the conversion of the water flow direction.

[0060] In some alternative embodiments, the drinking water device is an under-counter water dispenser, and the water flow can first flow from bottom to top and then flow out horizontally. In some other alternative embodiments, the drinking water device is a tabletop water dispenser, and the water flow can first flow horizontally and then flow from top to bottom. In other words, the water inlet pipe 22 can be built into the first cylinder 11 or the second cylinder 12, and the water outlet pipe 23 can be built into the second cylinder 23 or the first cylinder 11.

[0061] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 3 Combined with Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the drive assembly 30 is located on the lower side of the water circuit board 21. The drive assembly 30 further includes a mounting bracket 32. The mounting bracket 32 has a pipe body 322 and a positioning frame 321 that forms the outer surface of the pipe body 322. The water inlet interface 211 of the water circuit board 21 extends into the pipe body 322, and the water pump 31 is installed on the positioning frame 321. That is to say, a part of the weight of the water circuit board assembly 20 is borne by the pipe body 322 through the water inlet interface 211, and another part of the weight of the water circuit board assembly 20 is borne by the water pump on the positioning frame 321. The water inlet pipe 22 passes through the channel formed by the pipe body 322 and is connected to the water inlet interface 211. The water flow is led into the channel defined by the water circuit board 21 through the water inlet interface 211, then led out from the water outlet interface 213 and into the inlet 311 of the water pump 31, and flows out through the outlet 312 of the water pump 31 and into the water outlet pipe 23.

[0062] Further optionally, the inlet of the water outlet pipe 23 is provided with a first flow channel 237 and a second flow channel 239. Among them, the first flow channel 237 is respectively connected to the water outlet interface 213 and the inlet 311 of the water pump 31, and the second flow channel 239 is communicated with the outlet 312 of the water pump 31. That is to say, the water flow is introduced into the water pump 31 through the first flow channel 237 of the water outlet pipe 23 and led out to the water outlet pipe 23 through the second flow channel 239 of the water outlet pipe 23.

[0063] In addition, a shock pad can be provided on the positioning frame 321 to reduce the working noise of the water pump through the shock pad. Among them, the positioning frame 321 and the shock pad can be a mutually butting annular structure, that is, the annular limiting groove of the water pump 31 is jointly defined by the positioning frame 321 and the shock pad.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the second cylinder 12 is rotatably connected to the first cylinder 11. That is, the position of the second cylinder 12 relative to the first cylinder 11 can change. Among them, the rotation angle can be between 0° and 360°, for example, 30°, 60°, 90° or 120°. It can be understood that the above is only illustrative and not a limitation on the rotation angle of the second cylinder 12 of the present invention.

[0065] Optionally, the waterway assembly 100 further includes a connecting column 60. One end of the connecting column 60 is clamped inside the first cylinder 11 and abuts against the top surface of the pipe body 322. The other end of the connecting column 60 extends into the second section 127 of the second cylinder 12. One of the outer wall of the connecting column 60 and the inner wall of the second section 127 of the second cylinder 12 is provided with a guiding boss 61, and the other is provided with a guiding hook 123 that cooperates with the guiding boss 61. That is, the connecting column 60 is used to connect the waterway plate 21 and the mounting bracket 32 on the one hand, and on the other hand, through the cooperation of the guiding hook 123 and the guiding boss 61, the second cylinder 12 can be rotated along the circumference of the connecting column 60.

[0066] Further, one of the connecting column 60 and the pipe body 322 is provided with a guiding groove 43, and the other side is provided with a guiding rib 3225. Through the cooperation of the guiding rib 3225 and the guiding groove 43, the assembly efficiency between the connecting column 60 and the pipe body 322 is improved.

[0067] In a further optional embodiment, as Figure 6 Combined with FIG. 7, the waterway plate 21 is inserted into the connecting column 60. A limiting groove 62 is provided inside the connecting column 60, and a limiting hook 25 extending downward is provided at the bottom of the waterway plate 21. The limiting groove 62 cooperates with the limiting hook 25. That is, the displacement of the waterway plate 21 in the up and down direction is limited through the cooperation of the limiting groove 62 and the limiting hook 25, improving the stability of the waterway plate assembly 20 and preventing it from shaking in the pipe cavity. In other words, in the case of the cooperation between the limiting groove 62 and the limiting hook 25, the waterway plate assembly 20 cannot be separated from the pipe cavity. Only after the limiting groove 62 and the limiting hook 25 are separated can the waterway plate assembly 20 be withdrawn from the pipe body 322.

[0068] In a further optional example, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, the waterway assembly 100 further includes a handle 24. The handle 24 is pivotally connected to the waterway plate 21. The handle 24 can be used to assist the user in withdrawing the waterway plate assembly 20 from the pipe cavity. When it is necessary to separate the waterway plate assembly 20 from the pipe cavity, the handle 24 can be lifted upward in the vertical direction to separate the limiting groove 62 from the limiting hook 25.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, as Figures 5 - 7As shown, cams 241 are provided at both ends of the handle 24. When the handle 24 is in the first position, the cams 241 lie flat on the top surface of the connecting post 60. When the handle 24 is in the second position, the lower dead points of the cams 241 abut against the top surface of the connecting post 60. That is, by using the different positions of the cams 241 relative to the top surface of the connecting post 60, the acting force of the cams 241 on the connecting post 60 is changed, and further the matching relationship between the locking protrusions of the connecting post 61 and the hooks on the water circuit board 21 is changed. When the lower dead points act on the top surface of the connecting post 60, the cams 241 exert a downward acting force on the top surface of the connecting post 60, causing the limiting groove 62 to separate from the limiting hook 25, so as to facilitate the extraction of the water circuit board assembly 20 from the lumen by the handle.

[0070] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second cylinder 12 includes a base 124 and a door body 125. Among them, the base 124 defines an accommodation cavity 121. The door body 125 is connected to the base 124 for opening or closing the accommodation cavity 121. That is, the opening and closing state of the accommodation cavity 121 can be controlled through the door body 125. It can be understood that in the normal use state of the drinking water device, the door body 125 closes the accommodation cavity 121. When it is necessary to take out the water circuit board assembly 20, only the door body 125 needs to be opened, thereby improving the user's convenience of use.

[0071] The drinking water device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the water circuit assembly 100 and the top cover 200 of the above embodiment. The lower end of the water circuit assembly 100 is installed on the top cover 200, that is, the water circuit assembly 100 is supported by the top cover 200. The drive assembly 30 further includes: a mounting bracket 32. The mounting bracket 32 has a pipe body 322 and a positioning frame 321 formed on the outer surface of the pipe body 322. The water inlet pipe 22 extends into the pipe body 322. The water pump 31 is installed on the positioning frame 321. The pipe body 322 penetrates through the top cover 200. In this way, it is convenient for the water circuit assembly 100 to communicate with the water source located below the top cover 200.

[0072] Since the water circuit assembly 100 for the drinking water device according to the embodiment of the invention is convenient for the user to clean or replace the water circuit board assembly 20, avoids the growth of bacteria in the pipeline, and improves the water use safety. Therefore, the drinking water device according to the embodiment of the invention is convenient to use and healthy and safe in water use.

[0073] In order to facilitate the circuit connection of the water pump 31 inside the water circuit assembly 100, in some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 Combined with Figure 11As shown, the drinking water device further includes a connector 40. The connector 40 is sleeved on the pipe body 322 and clamped on the top cover 200. An upper power connector 3222 is provided on the pipe body 322, and a lower power connector 41 that mates with the upper power connector 3222 is provided on the connector 40. That is, by coupling the upper power connector 3222 and the lower power connector 41, power can be supplied to the water pump 31.

[0074] Further optionally, one of the connector 40 and the pipe body 322 is provided with a locking hole 42, and the other is provided with a locking hook 3221 that mates with the locking hole 42. When the connector 40 is sleeved on the pipe body 322, the locking hook 3221 mates with the locking hole 42, thereby limiting the displacement of the connector 40 in the axial direction and ensuring the normal coupling of the upper power connector 3222 and the lower power connector 41. In an alternative example, as Figure 10 shown, when the connector 40 is provided with the locking hole 42, the pipe body 322 can be provided with the locking hook 3221 that mates with the locking hole 42. Or in another alternative example, when the connector 40 is provided with the locking hook 3221, the pipe body 322 can be provided with the locking hole 42 that mates with the locking hook 3221. During the installation process, when the locking hook 3221 and the locking hole 42 are effectively mated, there is a feedback sound indicating proper positioning.

[0075] To improve the assembly efficiency of the connector 40 and the pipe body 322, as Figure 10 and Figure 13 shown, one side of the connector where the lower power connector 41 is provided has a cross-section. During assembly, the side of the cross-section of the connector 40 can be oriented towards the upper power connector 3222, thereby quickly connecting the upper power connector 3222 and the lower power connector 41.

[0076] In a further embodiment, as Figure 12 shown, an elastic button 50 is provided on the outer shell 10. A pressing head 51 is provided inside the elastic button 50, and the pipe body 322 has a positioning post 3223. The pressing head 51 extends into the positioning post 3223. The elastic button 50 can also include a spring mechanism inside. After pressing the elastic button 50, the elastic button 50 can return to its original position. By pressing the elastic button 50, the pressing head 51 is driven to move towards one side of the pipe body 322, synchronously driving the positioning post 3223 to shift, triggering the separation of the locking hole 42 and the locking hook 3221.

[0077] Further optionally, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, the drinking water device includes a top cover 200. A through hole 201 is provided above the top cover 200 for installing the first cylinder 11. At the same time, a container positioning groove 202 is provided for placing and fixing different containers. A heater, such as an electromagnetic coil, can be provided below the container to supply power for the operation of the water pump 31.

[0078] Optionally, a control panel 203 is further provided above the top cover 200, which includes one or more control buttons 204 to control the working state of the water circuit assembly 100.
