Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drinking water purification equipment, and in particular to an integrated waterway plate and a pipeline machine. Background Art
[0002] Pipeline machine, also known as pipeline water dispenser, is generally used in homes, offices, schools, etc., and is used in conjunction with water purification equipment. It has a built-in water tank. Clean water is placed in the water tank in advance and pumped out to the heating component and heat exchanger through a water pump. After heating by the heating component and heat exchange by the heat exchanger, water of different temperatures can be provided to users for drinking.
[0003] Most existing pipeline machines use PE or other silicone tubing to connect various components for water connectivity, flow diversion, and heat exchange. This not only increases the number of internal wiring pipes within the machine, but also complicates assembly and poses the risk of missing or incorrect installation. Furthermore, because pipeline machines frequently produce high-temperature water, the PE or other silicone tubing tends to age over time, producing a glue odor and the risk of cracking and leaking, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an integrated waterway plate and pipeline machine to solve the problems in the prior art of pipeline machines having a large number of internal wiring pipelines, complex assembly, low efficiency, and easy aging, cracking and leakage, posing safety hazards.
[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an integrated waterway plate, comprising:
[0006] The main body of the water channel plate is formed with a normal temperature water diversion channel and a hot water confluence channel;

[0008] The heat exchanger installation structure includes a normal temperature water inlet interface and a heated water outlet interface provided on the waterway plate body;
[0009] The heating component mounting structure includes a water inlet interface for water to be heated provided on the waterway plate body, and a hot water confluence channel connected between the hot water outlet interface and the water inlet interface for water to be heated, so as to converge the water after heat exchange in the heat exchanger into the heating component for heating;
[0010] The normal temperature water diversion channel has an inlet and two outlets. The inlet of the normal temperature water diversion channel is connected to the water outlet interface of the suction component. One outlet of the normal temperature water diversion channel is connected to the normal temperature water inlet interface, and the other outlet is connected to the water inlet interface of the water to be heated.
[0011] Beneficial effects: Through the suction component mounting structure, heat exchanger mounting structure, and heating component mounting structure integrated on the main body of the waterway plate, each component can be directly assembled on the waterway plate, replacing the existing waterway between components connected by silicone tubes, realizing the circulation, diversion, heat exchange, etc. of the waterway in the water treatment system, and achieving the purpose of obtaining hot water at different temperatures. Compared with the traditional connection method through silicone tubes, it can not only simplify the pipeline inside the pipeline machine, but also be more convenient and quick to install, not easy to miss or install incorrectly, and improve assembly efficiency. Moreover, long-term high-temperature water flow will not produce glue smell, will not age, and there is no risk of cracking and leakage, and the overall structure is more compact and reliable. In addition, through the normal temperature water diversion channel and the hot water exchange confluence channel set on the main body of the waterway plate, the water flow can be diverted and then merged after the heat exchange is completed, effectively avoiding the problem that most existing pipeline machines directly discharge the water after heat exchange, resulting in water resources and heat waste.

The clean water sucked in by the suction component is diverted along the main water inlet channel by the diversion component and distributed to two branch channels. One path of normal temperature water enters the heat exchanger, and the other path of normal temperature water flows into the heating component. After being heated by the heating component, it exchanges heat with the normal temperature water in the heat exchanger, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly reducing the hot water to the target temperature for users to drink. The normal temperature water that exchanges heat with the hot water in the heat exchanger absorbs the heat in the hot water, and the temperature will increase, and can be converged along the hot water exchange converging channel to the water inlet interface of the water to be heated. In this way, the heating power or heating time of the heating component during heating can be appropriately reduced, so that the heating power or heating time of the heating component during heating can be appropriately reduced, effectively avoiding the problem of heat waste in the hot water exchange and improving energy utilization.

[0062] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0063] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate and simplify the description of the present invention. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0064] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0065] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0066] Traditional pipeline machines commonly use silicone tubing as a bridge between various components, enabling the flow of water at different temperatures throughout the system. Using silicone tubing to connect various components results in a complex internal pipeline system, leading to complex routing and cumbersome assembly, resulting in low assembly efficiency. The use of silicone tubing also increases installation difficulty and labor, making installation time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in high labor costs. Furthermore, due to the large number of pipes involved, silicone tubing is prone to missing or incorrect installation.
[0067] In addition, as the pipeline machine often produces boiling water, as the use time increases, the silicone tube is prone to aging and will produce a lot of glue smell, affecting the user experience, and there is a risk of cracking and leakage, posing certain safety hazards.
[0068] In addition, since the room temperature water that exchanges heat with hot water in the heat exchanger of the pipeline machine absorbs the heat of the hot water, its temperature will rise. However, most of the existing technologies directly discharge the water after heat exchange, which not only wastes water resources but also causes heat waste.
[0069] To solve the above problems, this embodiment provides a heat-resistant, highly integrated waterway board in which the diverted normal temperature water is converged to the heating components after heat exchange to achieve the purpose of saving energy. The various components are directly assembled on the waterway board without the need for connection through PE pipes or other silicone tubes, which simplifies the pipelines inside the pipeline machine, makes installation more convenient and quick, and makes the structure more compact and reliable.
[0070] The following combination Figures 1 to 4 Embodiments of the present invention are described.

Compared with the more traditional silicone tube connection, the assembly is simpler, and no odor will be generated even if boiled water is passed for a long time. There is no risk of missing installation, wrong installation, or leakage.
[0088] In some more specific embodiments, the diverter component water inlet interface 141 and the diverter component water outlet interface 142 are cylindrical interface structures integrally formed on the waterway plate body 10. The diverter component 500 has a diverter water inlet connector and a diverter water outlet connector. The diverter water inlet connector is adapted to be plugged into the diverter component water inlet interface 141, and the diverter water outlet connector is adapted to be plugged into the diverter component water outlet interface 142.
[0089] Preferably, the inner circumferences of the diversion component water inlet interface 141 and the diversion component water outlet interface 142 are respectively provided with sealing ring installation grooves, and sealing rings are provided in the sealing ring installation grooves.

[0098] In the above embodiment, by arranging two bolt columns on both sides of the line connecting the center of the water inlet interface 141 of the diverter component and the center of the water outlet interface 142 of the diverter component, the diverter component 500 can be fixed from both sides of the diverter component 500, thereby making the fixation of the diverter component 500 more secure, more balanced and stable.

[0104] In the above embodiment, the second bolt column 113 is provided to fix the suction component 200 by bolt connection, which facilitates assembly and disassembly while making the connection more secure and stable.
[0105] Specifically, in some embodiments, the second bolt column 113 is disposed on one side of a line connecting the center of the suction component water inlet port 111 and the center of the suction component water outlet port 112. The suction component mounting structure 11 also includes a U-shaped mounting plate, and the second bolt column 113 is integrally formed on the top wall of the U-shaped mounting plate.

[0109] In the above embodiment, the heat exchanger 300 is fixed by bolt connection, which facilitates assembly and disassembly while making the connection more secure and stable.
[0110] In some embodiments, the third bolt column 123 is arranged at a position close to the hot water outlet interface 122, and the heat exchanger mounting structure 12 also includes a support boss fixedly arranged on the waterway plate body 10, and the third bolt column 123 is fixedly arranged above the support boss, and a reinforcing rib is arranged between the third bolt column 123 and the support boss.
[0111] In the above embodiment, the third bolt column 123 is supported and fixed at a set height position by the provided supporting boss, so as to facilitate the installation and fixation of the heat exchanger 300 .
[0112] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the heating component mounting structure 13 also includes an anti-fool structure 132, which is fixedly arranged on the waterway plate main body 10 and is located on the outer peripheral side of the water inlet interface 131 of the heated water, and is suitable for positioning and cooperating with the heating component 400 to limit the installation direction of the heating component 400.
[0113] In the above embodiment, the anti-foolproof structure 132 is provided to play an anti-foolproof role. The heating component 400 cannot be assembled when rotated 90° or 180°, so that the heating component 400 can only be assembled in the preset direction, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the heating component 400 and avoiding the problem that the heating component 400 is installed in the wrong direction, cannot cooperate well with the docking component, or interferes with other components.

[0115] In the above embodiment, by setting the positioning angle plate to a contoured structure with the same shape as the positioning area of the peripheral wall of the heating component 400, the installation direction of the heating component 400 is restricted so that it cannot rotate arbitrarily, and the positioning method is simple and efficient.
[0116] Optionally, the positioning area is a corner area of the peripheral wall of the heating component 400, and there is a set gap between the positioning angle plate and the heating component 400. Preferably, the set gap is 1 mm.

[0120] Optionally, the first screw connection portion 15 includes a longitudinal connection plate provided at one end of the waterway plate body 10 and a screw hole provided on the longitudinal connection plate. The first screw connection portion 15 includes a screw hole provided at the other end of the waterway plate body 10.
[0121] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a water inlet solenoid valve 600 is fixedly mounted on the waterway plate body 10. The water inlet solenoid valve 600 is disposed on the water inlet pipeline between the external water source and the water inlet of the water tank 700 and is adapted to control the water inlet of the water tank 700. A water inlet channel is provided within the waterway plate body 10, adapted to communicate between the water outlet of the water tank 700 and the water inlet interface 111 of the suction component.
[0122] The following combination Figures 1 to 4 , the spatial distribution of each installation structure in this embodiment is introduced.
[0123] The diverter mounting structure 14 is located in the middle of the waterway plate body 10. The heating component mounting structure 13 and the heat exchanger mounting structure 12 are located on either side of the diverter mounting structure 14. The suction component mounting structure 11 is located between the diverter mounting structure 14 and the heating component mounting structure 13. The first screw connection 15 is located at the end of the waterway plate body 10 away from the heating component mounting structure 13, and the second screw connection 16 is located at the end closer to the heating component mounting structure 13. The hot water outlet port 122 of the heat exchanger mounting structure 12 is located in the middle of the waterway plate body 10, close to the heating component mounting structure 13. The normal temperature water inlet port 121 is located at the end away from the heating component mounting structure 13. The third bolt column 123 is located near the hot water outlet port 122. The first branch channel 1012 extends from the middle diversion component installation structure 14 toward the direction close to the normal temperature water inlet interface 121, and the second branch channel 1013 extends from the middle diversion component installation structure 14 toward the direction close to the heated water inlet interface 131.
[0124] By adopting the above-mentioned spatial layout characteristics of various components and assembling them directly on the waterway board, not only is the installation convenient, but the assembly of various components is also compact and reliable, thereby providing a waterway board with reasonable spatial layout, high integration, compact structure, and diversion followed by convergence.
[0125] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a pipeline machine is provided, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pipeline machine includes: a shell, a water tank 700, an integrated waterway plate 100 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and a suction component 200, a heat exchanger 300, and a heating component 400, which are respectively installed on the suction component mounting structure 11, the heat exchanger mounting structure 12, and the heating component mounting structure 13 of the integrated waterway plate 100, wherein the water tank 700 is arranged in the shell for storing clean water; the integrated waterway plate 100 is fixedly set on the water tank 700.
[0126] In some embodiments, a diverter component 500 is further included, which is installed on the diverter component installation structure 14. The suction component 200 draws water in the water tank 700 to the diverter component 500, and the water flows into the heat exchanger 300 and the heating component 400 after being diverted by the diverter component 500.
[0127] In some embodiments, the suction component 200 is a self-priming pump, and the diverter component 500 is a diverter valve. The heating component 400 includes a heating pipe.
[0128] This invention provides a highly integrated waterway board, designed to replace silicone tubing to connect the internal waterways of a pipeline machine. The integrated waterway board 100 includes mounting structures for assembling with various components, allowing water to flow directly between them. Furthermore, assembly is simple, saving time and effort. Figure 2 The figure is a single integrated waterway board 100, and the structural features of each connecting component can be intuitively seen. During assembly, it is only necessary to install the components on the waterway board. Figure 1 This is the model of the entire waterway system, where water flows between components using the waterway plate as a bridge. Figure 4 This is the schematic diagram of the entire system, from which you can see the direction of water flow in the entire system and its working principle.
[0129] Compared with conventional pipeline machines, the pipeline machine provided in this embodiment is more convenient, practical, and operable. Traditional pipeline machines have internal pipes that are crisscrossed and uneven, and the various components are assembled in a scattered manner, resulting in a low service life and reliability of the entire machine. The present invention adopts the design of a highly integrated waterway plate 100, so that the various components are assembled compactly and sturdily, and the reliability is higher. In addition, there is no silicone tube design, which does not produce odor, and the water flow is diverted before entering the heat exchanger 300 through the waterway plate. After heat exchange through the heat exchanger 300, it will flow back to the waterway plate for convergence, achieving the purpose of reducing energy consumption and saving resources. The entire pipeline machine system has high functional reliability.
[0130] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
