DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0044] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.
[0045] As described above, in combination with Figure 1 , 2 , 3, the present application provides a water dispenser assembly arranged on a door 1 for supplying water in a water storage container 2 on one side of the door 1 to the other side of the door 1.
[0046] The water dispenser assembly comprises a mounting seat 10, a water pump 20, a trigger mechanism 30, and a water distributor 40.
[0047] The mounting seat 10 is arranged on the door 1 and has a support groove 11 for supporting the water storage container 2. The water pump 20 is arranged on the mounting seat 10, and the water inlet of the water pump 20 is connected to the support groove 11 through a water pipe A 21, and the water outlet of the water pump 20 extends to the other side of the door 1 through a water pipe B 22. The trigger mechanism 30 is arranged on the side of the door 1 away from the mounting seat 10, and triggers the water pump 20 to open the water outlet. The water distributor 40 is arranged at the opening of the water storage container 2, and the water distributor 40 has a passage for the water in the water storage container 2 to flow out, and a valve core assembly 50 is arranged in the passage for controlling the opening and closing of the passage. The end of the water distributor 40 away from the water storage container 2 is provided with an air permeable section 41. The water storage container 2 with the water distributor 40 is inserted into the support groove 11 of the mounting seat 10 in an inverted manner, and the bottom of the support groove 11 is provided with a protruding column 111 for pushing the valve core assembly 50 to open the passage until the water in the support groove 11 flows over the air permeable section 41.
[0048] The water storage container 2 is inverted and inserted into the support groove 11 of the mounting seat 10, and the convex column 111 at the bottom of the support groove 11 pushes the valve core assembly 50 to make the water in the water storage container 2 leak into the support groove 11, and when the water overflows the air passage 41, the water in the water storage container 2 will not continue to leak out because there is no air continuously entering the water storage container 2;
[0049] When water is needed, the water pump 20 is triggered by the trigger mechanism 30, and the water in the support groove 11 is pumped out by the water pump 20, and once the water in the support groove 11 is pumped out to expose the air passage 41, air can enter the water storage container 2, and under the action of atmospheric pressure, the water in the water storage container 2 continuously flows out to continuously pump out by the water pump 20; when stopping taking water, the trigger mechanism 30 stops triggering the water pump 20, and the water in the water storage container 2 stops leaking out after leaking out to overflow the air passage 41.
[0050] The water storage container 2 is inverted and inserted into the support groove 11 of the mounting seat 10, and the convex column 111 at the bottom of the support groove 11 pushes the valve core assembly 50 to make the water in the water storage container 2 leak into the support groove 11, and when the water overflows the air passage 41, the water in the water storage container 2 will not continue to leak out because there is no air continuously entering the water storage container 2;
[0051] Based on the structure design of the air passage 41 at the front end of the water distributor 40, after the water is taken, the water overflowing the air passage 41 prevents air from continuously entering the water storage container 2 to stop leaking water in time, realizes the self-sealing effect, and avoids the leakage problem of the existing mechanical water dispenser due to long-term use.
[0052] It should be noted that in the present application, the pumping speed of the water pump 20 is less than the leakage speed of the water in the water storage container 2, otherwise the water in the support groove 11 will be completely pumped out, and then there will be air in the continuous water taking.
[0053] In the present application, the valve core assembly 50 is arranged in the passage of the water distributor 40 and is used for controlling the opening and closing of the passage. In some embodiments, in combination with the Figure 4As shown, the valve core assembly 50 includes a valve seat 51, a connecting rod 52, a valve plate 53 and a resilient member; the valve seat 51 is arranged in the passage of the water distributor 40, and the valve seat 51 is provided with a through hole for water to flow through; the connecting rod 52 is movably arranged on the valve seat 51, the valve plate 53 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 52 close to the water storage container 2, and the valve plate 53 has an inclined sealing surface 531 in sealing cooperation with the passage of the water distributor 40; the resilient member is arranged on the connecting rod 52, and the elastic force of the resilient member drives the sealing surface 531 of the valve plate 53 to tightly abut against the passage of the water distributor 40 to realize sealing cooperation.
[0054] Please refer to Figure 4 Without the application of external force, the valve core assembly 50 blocks the passage of the water distributor 40. Further refer to Figure 5 When the water storage container 2 provided with the water distributor 40 is inserted into the support groove 11 of the mounting seat 10 in an inverted manner, the protruding column 111 in the support groove 11 pushes the connecting rod 52 to move to the side where the water storage container 2 is located, at this time the resilient member is compressed, the valve plate 53 moves upward so that the sealing surface 531 thereof is separated from the inner wall of the passage of the water distributor 40, then the passage of the water distributor 40 is opened, and the water in the water storage container 2 can normally flow into the support groove 11.
[0055] In the present application, the resilient member provides elastic force to make the sealing surface 531 of the valve plate 53 tightly abut against the inner wall of the passage of the water distributor 40. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the resilient member is a spring 54 sleeved on the connecting rod 52, one end of the spring 54 abuts against the valve seat 51, and the other end abuts against the blocking portion 521 of the end portion of the connecting rod 52.
[0056] According to the water dispenser assembly provided by the present application, the trigger mechanism 30 serves to trigger the water pump 20 to pump water out of the support groove 11. As shown, Figure 3 In some embodiments, the trigger mechanism 30 includes a panel mounting seat 31, a travel switch 32 and a switch panel 33.
[0057] The panel mounting seat 31 is arranged on the side of the door 1 away from the mounting seat 10, the travel switch 32 is arranged in the panel mounting seat 31 and is electrically connected with the water pump 20, and the water pump 20 can be turned on by touching the travel switch 32 to pump water out of the support groove 11.
[0058] The switch panel 33 is hinged to the panel mounting seat 31, and when the switch panel 33 rotates relative to the panel mounting seat 31 and contacts the travel switch 32, the water pump 20 is turned on to start water discharge.
[0059] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, in order to ensure that the switch panel 33 can disengage from the limit switch 32 in a timely manner after release, a return spring is also sleeved on the hinge shaft between the switch panel 33 and the panel mounting base 31, so that the switch panel 33 can be driven to return to its original position in a timely manner by the return spring.
[0060] In some embodiments, the suspended end of the water pipe B 22 is provided with a downward-facing water outlet 23, and a water outlet cover 24 is provided over the water outlet 23. The water outlet cover 24 is fixed to the side of the door 1 away from the mounting base 10. By providing the water outlet 23, it is convenient to use a water container, such as a teacup, to collect water; the water outlet cover 24 protects the water outlet 23 from dust accumulation.
[0061] In some embodiments, the door 1 is further provided with a pre-embedded box 60, and the water outlet cover 24 and the panel mounting base 31 are sequentially snapped onto the pre-embedded box 60 from top to bottom. With the above structure, when the user is filling the water container, the hand holding the water container can directly touch the switch panel 33 located below the water outlet 23 while filling the water, thus realizing one-handed operation.
[0062] According to the water dispenser components provided by the present invention, such as Figure 6 , 9 As shown, the water distributor 40 also includes a connecting section 42 connected to the venting section 41. The adjacent ends of the connecting section 42 and the venting section 41 are constructed in a stepped shape to abut against the stepped portion 112 provided in the support groove 11. The stepped portion 112 is provided with a recessed portion 113 extending along the depth direction of the support groove 11 to allow the venting section 41 of the water distributor 40 to communicate with the external environment.
[0063] The connecting section 42 is used to connect and fix it to the opening of the water storage container 2. The connection method can be one commonly used by those skilled in the art, such as snap-fit or threaded connection. In this invention, the connection method is preferably threaded connection. In particular, in order to facilitate the screwing and fixing of the water distributor 40 to the opening of the water storage container 2, the water distributor 40 is provided with circumferentially spaced protrusions 401 on the outer wall of the connecting section 42. The protrusions 401 may be partially or completely present along the length of the connecting section 42, so that the user can easily screw and fix the entire water distributor 40 to the opening of the water storage container 2.
[0064] Since the adjacent ends of the connecting section 42 and the venting section 41 are constructed in a stepped shape, there is a step in the channel of the water distributor 40. By arranging a sealing gasket 43 at the step, when the connecting section 42 of the water distributor 40 is fixed to the opening of the water storage container 2 by screwing, the sealing performance is ensured by the compression of the sealing gasket 43 by the opening of the water storage container 2.
[0065] When the water storage container 2 equipped with the water distributor 40 is inserted into the support groove 11 in an inverted manner, the air passage section 41 can be in communication with the outside through the recessed portion 113 arranged along the depth direction of the support groove 11. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the air passage section 41 is enclosed by a plurality of fins 402 arranged along the circumference of the water distributor body, and the gaps 403 between adjacent fins 402 form air flow channels for air to enter the water storage container 2. When the gaps 403 between adjacent fins 402 are submerged by water, air cannot enter the water storage container 2, i.e. the air passage section 41 is closed.
[0066] In the present application, the mounting seat 10 serves to support the water storage container 2 equipped with the water distributor 40. As a specific embodiment of the mounting seat 10, as shown in Figure 6 , 7 , 8, the mounting seat 10 comprises a base plate 12, and the support groove 11 is recessed from one side of the plate surface of the base plate 12. The water pump 20 is fixed to the base plate 12 by a bracket 25, and the bracket 25 comprises a first plate 251 and a second plate 252 perpendicular to each other. The overhanging end of the first plate 251 is provided with a lifting portion 253 for lifting the water pump 20. The second plate 252 is provided with mounting holes 254 for bolts to be connected and fixed to the outer side bottom of the support groove 11. When the bolts are connected and fixed in place, the lifting portion 253 and the base plate 12 clamp the water pump 20. By the above technical solution, the water pump 20 can be as close as possible to the support groove 11, and the distance of the water pipe A 21 is shortened. At the same time, the outer side groove wall of the support groove 11, the base plate 12 and the L-shaped bracket 25 are fully utilized to clamp and fix the water pump 20, which facilitates installation and ensures the fixing effect of the water pump 20.
[0067] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the fixing of the mounting seat 10, the water dispenser assembly further comprises a bottle frame 70, and the bottle frame 70 has an upwardly open accommodating space. The two side end portions of the bottle frame 70 are provided with clamping grooves 71 for clamping from top to bottom to the hanging ears 3 on the two sides of the door 1. The two sides of the mounting seat 10 are provided with buckles 13 for buckling and fixing into the bottle frame 70. The connection of the bottle frame 70 with the hanging ears 3 on the door 1 by the clamping grooves 71 is a common and mature technology. Therefore, when the mounting seat 10 is installed to the door 1 of different widths, only the bottle frame 70 of different lengths needs to be adapted, which is simple and convenient and improves the adaptability of the mounting seat 10.
[0068] The present application also provides a refrigerator, which has at least one set of the above-mentioned water dispenser assembly. It should be noted that the water storage container 2 in the present application can store not only water but also other liquids similar to water, such as beverages.
[0069] By integrating the above water dispenser assembly on the door body of the refrigerator, the installation component size caused by the mechanical water dispenser head in the prior art is not too large, and the defect of occupying too much internal volume of the refrigerator is avoided.
[0070] The water storage container 2 can be a common mineral water bottle. When replacement is needed, the empty mineral water bottle is taken out from the support groove 11 of the mounting seat 10 together with the water distributor 40, the empty mineral water bottle is screwed off, the water distributor 40 is screwed into the full mineral water bottle, and then the inverted water distributor 40 is inserted into the support groove 11 of the mounting seat 10.
[0071] The scheme provided by the present application does not set a water storage container 2 that is placed for a long time and is not replaced in the refrigerator, so the problem of breeding bacteria in the water storage box in the prior art due to long-time water storage does not exist. After the water storage container 2 is inserted into the support groove 11 of the mounting seat 10 together with the inverted water distributor 40, the area that is in communication with the outside is small, and the problem of pollution does not exist.
[0072] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept of the present application, various simple modifications can be made to the technical scheme of the present application. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, various possible combination modes are not described again. However, the simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as the disclosed content of the present application, and all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
