[0053] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein 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 accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0054] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0055] The following is for reference. Figures 1-12 A drinking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0056] The drinking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a mounting base 1, a water tank 2, a heating electronic control module 3, and a cooling ice-making component 4.

[0057] In the attached diagram below, as shown Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the X direction is the left-right direction of the drinking device 100, the Y direction is the front-back direction of the drinking device 100, and the Z direction is the up-down direction of the drinking device 100.

[0058] Water tank 2, heating electronic control module 3 and cooling ice-making component 4 are all installed on mounting base 1, and one of water tank 2, heating electronic control module 3 and cooling ice-making component 4 is located between the other two. Cooling ice-making component 4 includes cooling module 41 and ice-making module 42, and cooling module 41 and ice-making module 42 are respectively connected to water tank 2.

[0059] Water tank 2 is used to provide a water source, and the water in water tank 2 is suitable to flow through the cooling module 41 and then be discharged to meet people's demand for cold water (or room temperature water). In some cases, the heating control module 3 is suitable to heat the water and then discharge it to meet people's demand for hot water, or the water in water tank 2 can flow through the ice-making module 42 and then be discharged to meet people's demand for ice making.

[0060] It should be noted that the heating control module 3 includes a heating module 31 and a control module 32. The heating module 31 can heat water, and the control module 32 can control the cooling and ice-making components 4 and whether to heat water.

[0061] Therefore, the refrigeration module 41, the ice-making module 42, and the heating electronic control module 3 can all be integrated and installed on the mounting base 1. This allows the drinking equipment 100 to provide hot and cold water at multiple temperatures and also to make ice, thereby meeting people's drinking and beverage needs. At the same time, the three modules are different functional modules, which facilitates modular design, pre-installation inspection during production, and subsequent combination and expansion of different modules.

[0062] For example, the drinking device 100 includes: a housing, a mounting base 1, a water tank 2, a heating electronic control module 3, and a cooling ice-making component 4.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer shell is located on the outermost side, and as... Figures 3-5 As shown, the water tank 2, the heating electronic control module 3, and the cooling ice-making component 4 are all installed on the mounting base 1, and all three are located inside the outer casing. In this way, the water tank 2, the heating electronic control module 3, and the cooling ice-making component 44 can be protected.

[0064] Furthermore, one of the water tank 2, the heating electronic control module 3, and the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 is located between the other two. The refrigeration and ice-making component 4 includes a refrigeration module 41 and an ice-making module 42, which are respectively connected to the water tank 2.

[0065] The water tank 2, the heating and electrical control module 3, and the cooling and ice-making component 4 are all installed on the mounting base 1. This means that the water tank 2, the heating and electrical control module 3, and the cooling and ice-making component 4 are all integrated on the mounting base 1. This allows for an integrated design of the water tank 2, the heating and electrical control module 3, and the cooling and ice-making component 4, thereby improving space utilization and reducing the volume of the drinking water equipment 100.

[0066] "One of the water tank 2, the heating electronic control module 3, and the cooling ice-making component 4 is located between the other two" means that the water tank 2 is located between the heating electronic control module 3 and the cooling ice-making component 4, so that the heating electronic control module 3 and the cooling ice-making component 4 are separated by the water tank 2, thereby reducing the heat transfer between the two, and facilitating the shortening of the distance between the water tank 2 and the cooling ice-making component 4, which is conducive to the connection between the water tank 2 and the cooling module 41 and the ice-making module 42.

[0067] Alternatively, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 can be located between the water tank 2 and the heating and electrical control module 3 to shorten the distance between the water tank 2 and the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, which facilitates the connection between the water tank 2 and the refrigeration module 41 and the ice-making module 42.

[0068] Alternatively, the heating control module 3 can be located between the water tank 2 and the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 to reduce the difficulty of setting up the refrigeration and ice-making component 44.

[0069] The arrangement direction of the water tank 2, the heating electronic control module 3 and the cooling ice-making component 4 is not limited here. For example, the three can be distributed in the left-right direction, the front-back direction or the up-down direction of the drinking device 100.

[0070] In this way, the refrigeration module 41, the ice-making module 42, and the heating control module 3 can all be integrated and installed on the mounting base 1. This allows the drinking equipment 100 to provide hot and cold water at multiple temperatures and also to make ice, thereby meeting people's drinking and beverage needs. At the same time, the three modules are different functional modules, which facilitates modular design, pre-installation inspection during production, and subsequent combination and expansion of different modules.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 is located between the water tank 2 and the heating and electrical control module 3. This facilitates shortening the distance between the water tank 2 and the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4, and promotes communication between the water tank 2 and the refrigeration module 41 and the ice-making module 42.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the refrigeration module 41 is located between the ice-making module 42 and the heating control module 3. This arrangement allows the refrigeration module 41 to make full use of the space between the ice-making module 42 and the heating control module 3, thereby improving space utilization and making the arrangement of the refrigeration module 41, ice-making module 42 and heating control module 3 more compact.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the refrigeration module 41 is located below at least a portion of the ice-making module 42 and is connected to the mounting base 1.

[0074] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the ice-making efficiency of the ice-making module 42, the volume of the ice-making module 42 is usually larger than that of the refrigeration module 41. In order to improve the structural stability of the refrigeration module 41 and improve the space utilization efficiency, the refrigeration module 41 is located on the lower side of at least part of the ice-making module 42 and connected to the mounting base 1.

[0075] This facilitates the enhancement of the structural stability of the cooling module 41 and improves space utilization.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the water tank 2, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, and the heating and electrical control module 3 are distributed sequentially in the left-right or front-back direction of the drinking equipment 100.

[0077] For example, the water tank 2, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, and the heating and electrical control module 3 are arranged sequentially in the left and right directions of the drinking device 100. This allows for a compact arrangement of the water tank 2, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, and the heating and electrical control module 3 in the left and right directions of the drinking device 100, thereby reducing the size of the drinking device 100 in the front-back and vertical directions and facilitating the miniaturization design of the drinking device 100.

[0078] Alternatively, the water tank 2, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, and the heating and electrical control module 3 can be arranged sequentially in the front-back direction of the drinking device 100. This allows for a compact arrangement of the water tank 2, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, and the heating and electrical control module 3 in the front-back direction of the drinking device 100, thereby reducing the size of the drinking device 100 in the left-right and up-down directions and facilitating the miniaturization design of the drinking device 100.

[0079] Alternatively, the water tank 2, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, and the heating and electrical control module 3 can be arranged sequentially in the vertical direction of the drinking device 100. This allows for a compact arrangement of the water tank 2, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, and the heating and electrical control module 3 in the vertical direction of the drinking device 100, thereby reducing the size of the drinking device 100 in the front-back and left-right directions and facilitating the miniaturization design of the drinking device 100.

[0080] In some embodiments, the heating control module 3 includes a heating module 31 and a control module 32, which are electrically connected to the heating module 31 and the refrigeration ice-making component 4, respectively.

[0081] Therefore, by setting up an electronic control module 32, it is possible to control the heating module 31, the cooling module 41 and the ice-making module 42. In particular, the electronic control module 32 can be integrated with the heating module 31, which can reduce the space occupied by the electronic control module 32, thereby making its structure more compact and thus facilitating a reduction in its volume.

[0082] In some embodiments, the heating module 31 and the electronic control module 32 are distributed sequentially in the vertical, horizontal, or front-back direction of the drinking device 100.

[0083] For example, the heating module 31 and the electronic control module 32 are arranged sequentially in the vertical direction of the drinking device 100. In this way, the heating module 31 and the electronic control module 32 can be compactly arranged in the vertical direction of the drinking device 100, thereby reducing the impact of the heating and electronic control module 3 on the size of the drinking device 100 in the horizontal and vertical directions, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the drinking device 100.

[0084] Alternatively, the heating module 31 and the electronic control module 32 can be arranged sequentially in the left-right direction of the drinking device 100. This allows for a compact arrangement of the heating module 31 and the electronic control module 32 in the left-right direction of the drinking device 100, thereby reducing the impact of the heating and electronic control module 3 on the size of the drinking device 100 in the front-back and vertical directions, which is beneficial for achieving a miniaturized design of the drinking device 100.

[0085] Alternatively, the heating module 31 and the electronic control module 32 can be arranged sequentially in the front-to-back direction of the drinking device 100. This allows for a compact arrangement of the heating module 31 and the electronic control module 32 in the front-to-back direction of the drinking device 100, thereby reducing the impact of the heating and electronic control module 3 on the size of the drinking device 100 in the left-to-right and up-to-down directions, which is beneficial for achieving a miniaturized design of the drinking device 100.

[0086] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the drinking device 100 also includes a mounting bracket 6, which is mounted on the mounting base 1, and both the heating module 31 and the electrical control module 32 are mounted on the mounting bracket 6.

[0087] Therefore, by setting up the mounting bracket 6, the heating module 31 and the electrical control module 32 can be integrated on the mounting bracket 6, thereby realizing the compact design of the heating electrical control module 3. At the same time, it is convenient to simplify the assembly steps and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the mounting bracket 6 is located between the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 and the heating and electrical control module 3, and the heating module 31 and the electrical control module 32 are located on the side of the mounting bracket 6 away from the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4.

[0089] Therefore, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 and the heating and electrical control module 3 can be separated by the mounting bracket 6, thereby avoiding the influence of heat between the two. The heating module 31 and the electrical control module 32 are located on the side of the mounting bracket 6 away from the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, so as to reduce the impact of the condensate generated by the refrigeration and ice-making component 44 during operation, which helps to ensure the safety of its working environment.

[0090] At the same time, it helps to improve the installation and removal efficiency of the heating module 31 and the electronic control module 32, and facilitates later maintenance or replacement.

[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 6 is provided with a mounting box 61. The electrical control module 32 includes a first electrical control 321 and a second electrical control 322. Both the first electrical control 321 and the second electrical control 322 are installed in the mounting box 61. The first electrical control 321 is used to electrically connect with the ice-making module 42, and the second electrical control 322 is used to electrically connect with the heating module 31.

[0092] Therefore, by setting up the mounting box 61, the first electrical control 321 and the second electrical control 322 can be installed inside the mounting box 61. This helps to protect the first electrical control 321 and the second electrical control 322, so as to avoid damage to the first electrical control 321 and the second electrical control 322, and allows the first electrical control 321 and the second electrical control 322 to work in a stable working environment.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting box 61 and the heating module 31 are spaced apart in the vertical direction of the drinking device 100.

[0094] Therefore, the distribution of the mounting box 61 and the heating module 31 will not occupy the installation space of the drinking device 100 in the front-back and left-right directions, and the mounting box 61 is located in a higher position, which facilitates the later installation, removal or maintenance of the electronic control module 32.

[0095] The water circuit control device 5 of this utility model is constructed with a main body 51 and three water inlets and three water return outlets are provided on the main body 51, namely the first water inlet 5124, the second water inlet, the third water inlet, the first water return outlet, the second water return outlet and the third water return outlet. During assembly, the first water inlet 5124 is connected to the outlet of the heating module 31, allowing hot water heated by the heating module 31 to flow onto the main body 51 through the first water inlet 5124; the second water inlet is connected to the outlet of the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, allowing cold water cooled by the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 to flow onto the main body 51 through the second water inlet; the third water inlet is connected to the water tank 2, allowing water stored in the water tank 2 to flow onto the main body 51 through the third water inlet; the first and second return water inlets are connected to the return water inlet of the water tank 2 so that at least a portion of the water on the main body 51 can flow back to the water tank 2 through the first and second return water inlets, preventing excessive water retention on the main body 51 and resulting waste; the third return water inlet is connected to the return water inlet of the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, which means that at least a portion of the water on the main body 51 can flow onto the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 through the third return water inlet and undergo the cooling process.

[0096] Specifically, the water flow path of the drinking device 100 in the water circuit control device 5 is roughly as follows: the water in the water tank 2 flows in the pipeline, and a portion of the water enters the main body 51 through the third inlet. After entering the main body 51, the water flows on the main body 51. At this time, the water flowing on the main body 51 can either flow directly out through the water outlet to form room temperature water, or it can enter the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 through the second inlet for refrigeration. The cold water processed by the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 can flow back to the main body 51 through the second inlet and flow out through the water outlet to form cold water. It is worth noting that the water flowing into the main body 51 from the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 can also choose to flow back to the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 through the third return inlet to carry out the ice-making process. Another portion of the water can also flow directly to the heating module 31 through the pipeline. The water heated by the heating module 31 can enter the main body 51 through the first inlet 5124 and flow out through the water outlet to form hot water. The water circuit control device 5 enables the drinking equipment 100 to have multiple functions. Moreover, the water circuit control device 5 integrates the water circuit connection structure by connecting the three inlets and three outlets machined on the main body 51 to the heating module 31, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, the water tank 2, and the water outlet device, making the overall structure of the drinking equipment 100 more compact and reducing the volume of the drinking equipment 100.

[0097] In some embodiments, the water circuit control device 5 further includes a valve assembly 52, which is disposed on the main body 51 and selectively connects the first inlet 5124, the second inlet, and the third inlet to the first return inlet, the second return inlet, and the third return inlet, respectively. Since the water flows through the three inlets and three outlets on the main body 51, the structure of the water circuit control device 5 affects the water flow. The water circuit control device 5 also includes a valve assembly 52 on the main body 51. The valve assembly 52 controls the water flow direction. For example, the valve assembly 52 can selectively connect the first inlet 5124 to the first return outlet and the outlet device respectively. After assembling the valve assembly 52, the hot water flowing from the heating module 31 into the main body 51 can selectively flow back to the water tank 2 through the first return outlet or flow out through the outlet device under the control of the valve assembly 52 for easy access to hot water. The valve assembly 52 can also connect the second inlet to the third return outlet. In this case, the water flowing out of the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 enters the main body 51 through the second inlet and can selectively flow through the third return outlet to the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 as ice-making material under the control of the valve assembly 52, or flow to the outlet device and be discharged for easy access to cold water. The valve assembly 52 makes the water flow direction controllable, improving the water circuit control device 5's ability to control the water.

[0098] In some embodiments, the valve assembly 52 includes a first valve body 521, a second valve body 522, a third valve body 523, and a fourth valve body 524. The first valve body 521 has a first valve port, a second valve port, and a third valve port that are selectively connected to each other. The first valve port is connected to a first water inlet 5124, the second valve port is connected to a water outlet device, and the third valve port is connected to a first water return port. The second valve body 522 has a fourth valve port, a fifth valve port, and a sixth valve port that are selectively connected to each other. The fifth valve port is connected to a second water return port. The sixth valve port is connected to the water outlet device; the third valve body 523 has a seventh valve port, an eighth valve port, and a ninth valve port that can be selectively connected to each other, the seventh valve port is connected to the second water inlet, the eighth valve port is connected to the third water return port, and the ninth valve port is connected to the fourth valve port; the fourth valve body 524 has a tenth valve port, an eleventh valve port, and a twelfth valve port that can be selectively connected to each other, the tenth valve port is connected to the water outlet of the water tank 2, the eleventh valve port is connected to the water inlet of the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, and the twelfth valve port is connected to the water outlet device.

[0099] Since valve assembly 52 is the structure that controls the flow direction of water on main body 51, its construction affects the water flow. Valve assembly 52 consists of four valve bodies: first valve body 521, second valve body 522, third valve body 523, and fourth valve body 524. All four valve bodies can be assembled on main body 51. The first valve body 521 is provided with a first valve port, a second valve port, and a third valve port that can be selectively connected. When the first valve body 521 is assembled, the first valve port can be connected to the first water inlet 5124, the second valve port can be connected to the water outlet device, and the third valve port can be connected to the first water return port. When the first valve body 521 is working, the water heated by heating module 31 can enter main body 51 through the first water inlet 5124 and selectively flow to the water outlet device or return to water tank 2 through the third water return port under the action of the first valve body 521.

[0100] The second valve body 522 is provided with a fourth valve port, a fifth valve port, and a sixth valve port that can be selectively connected. When the second valve body 522 is assembled, the fifth valve port can be connected to the second return water port, and the sixth valve port can be connected to the water outlet device. When the second valve body 522 is working, at least a portion of the water on the main body 51 can flow out through the sixth valve port under the control of the second valve body 522 to form room temperature water, and can also flow out from the fifth valve port and return to the water tank 2 through the second return water port.

[0101] The third valve body 523 is equipped with a selectable seventh valve port, an eighth valve port, and a ninth valve port. When the third valve body 523 is assembled, the seventh valve port can connect to the second water inlet, the eighth valve port can connect to the third water return port, and the ninth valve port can connect to the fourth valve port. When the third valve body 523 is working, cold water generated by the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 can flow from the second water inlet into the main body 51 and enter the third valve body 523 through the seventh valve port. The third valve body 523 can control the flow of cold water from the ninth valve port to the fourth valve port and selectively guide the cold water to the water outlet device or water tank 2 through the second valve body 522. Furthermore, the third valve body 523 can also control the flow of cold water from the eighth valve port back to the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 through the third water return port for ice making.

[0102] The fourth valve body 524 is equipped with selectable tenth, eleventh, and twelfth valve ports. When assembled, the tenth valve port can connect to the outlet of the water tank 2, the eleventh valve port can connect to the inlet of the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4, and the twelfth valve port can connect to the water outlet device. When the fourth valve body 524 is operating, water from the water tank 2 can enter the fourth valve body 524 through the tenth valve port. The fourth valve body 524 can control the flow of water from the twelfth valve port to the water outlet device to form room temperature water. Furthermore, the fourth valve body 524 can also control the flow of water from the eleventh valve port into the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 to add water to the assembly, facilitating the processing of cold water.

[0103] The valve assembly 52 controls the flow of water between the water tank 2, heating module 31, refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 and water outlet device by setting four valve bodies on the main body 51. This improves the water circuit control device 5's control capability over the water circuit of the drinking equipment 100. The setting of the four valve bodies also makes the overall water circuit connection of the drinking equipment 100 clearer and realizes the control of multiple functions of the drinking equipment 100.

[0104] In some embodiments, the main body 51 includes a first plate 511, on which a first interface 5111, a second interface 5112, and a third interface 5113 are formed; wherein, the first interface 5111 is configured as a first return water port, the second interface 5112 is configured as a second return water port, and the third interface 5113 is connected to the water outlet of the water tank 2; the first plate 511 has a first valve interface 5211 to a twelfth valve interface 5243 respectively connected to the first valve port to the twelfth valve port.

[0105] Since the four valve bodies mentioned above are assembled on the main body 51, the structure of the main body 51 will affect the assembly of the valve bodies. The water circuit control device 5 has a first plate 511 on the main body 51, which has three interfaces: a first interface 5111, a second interface 5112, and a third interface 5113. The first interface 5111 is configured as a first return water inlet, which is connected to the third valve port. Hot water generated by the heating module 31 enters the first valve body 521 and, under the control of the first valve body 521, flows through the third valve port to the first return water inlet and finally back to the water tank 2. The second interface 5112 is configured as a second return water inlet, which is connected to the fifth valve port. Water flowing from the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 can be controlled by the third valve body 523. The water flows into the second valve body 522. At this time, the second valve body 522 can control the water from the third valve body 523 to flow through the fifth valve port to the second return port and finally back to the water tank 2. The third interface 5113 is connected to the outlet of the water tank 2. The water in the water tank 2 can enter the main body 51 through the third interface 5113 and flow to the fourth valve body 524. Under the control of the fourth valve body 524, the water guided from the third interface 5113 can enter the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 to process cold water. In addition, the fourth valve body 524 can also control the water guided from the third interface 5113 to flow directly to the water outlet device to collect room temperature water. The setting of the first interface 5111, the second interface 5112 and the third interface 5113 realizes the water circuit connection between the main body 51 and the water tank 2, which facilitates the flow of water between the water tank 2 and the main body 51. In addition, the first plate 511 is also provided with a first valve interface 5211 to a twelfth valve interface 5243 respectively connected to the first valve port to the twelfth valve port. Each valve port corresponds to its own valve interface, so that the four valve bodies can maintain communication with the main body 51 during assembly and can improve the stability of the valve bodies after assembly.

[0106] In some embodiments, a fourth interface 5114, a fifth interface 5115, and a sixth interface 5116 are formed on the first plate 511, which are respectively connected to the water outlet device; wherein, the fourth interface 5114 is connected to the sixth valve interface 5223, the fifth interface 5115 is connected to the twelfth valve interface 5243, and the sixth interface 5116 is connected to the second valve interface 5212.

[0107] Since the water flowing out of the water outlet device originates from the main body 51, the structure of the main body 51 affects the water output of the water outlet device. Specifically, the first plate 511 is also provided with a fourth interface 5114, a fifth interface 5115, and a sixth interface 5116. The fourth interface 5114 can be connected to the sixth valve interface 5223, the fifth interface 5115 can be connected to the twelfth valve interface 5243, and the sixth interface 5116 can be connected to the second valve interface 5212. Furthermore, the fourth interface 5114, fifth interface 5115, and sixth interface 5116 can also be connected to the water outlet device. Cold water on the main body 51 can flow into the fourth interface 5114 through the fourth valve interface 5221 and out through the water outlet device; room temperature water on the main body 51 can flow into the fifth interface 5115 through the twelfth valve interface 5243 and out through the water outlet device; hot water on the main body 51 can flow into the sixth interface 5116 through the second valve interface 5212 and out through the water outlet device. The fourth interface 5114, the fifth interface 5115, and the sixth interface 5116 enable water of different temperatures to flow from the water outlet on the main body 51, achieving a multi-functional water outlet effect for the drinking equipment. At the same time, after the fourth interface 5114, the fifth interface 5115, and the sixth interface 5116 are connected to the water outlet, the water outlet is integrated into one position, improving the overall compactness of the water circuit control device 5.

[0108] In some embodiments, the main body 51 further includes a second plate 512, on which a seventh interface 5121, an eighth interface 5122 and a ninth interface 5123 are formed. The seventh interface 5121 is connected to the eighth valve interface 5232, the eighth interface 5122 is connected to the seventh valve interface 5231, and the ninth interface 5123 is connected to the eleventh valve interface 5242.

[0109] Because there is a water channel connection between the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 and the main body 51, the structure of the main body 51 will affect the flow of water between the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 and the main body 51. The main body 51 is also provided with a second plate 512, which has three interfaces: a seventh interface 5121, an eighth interface 5122, and a ninth interface 5123. During assembly, the seventh interface 5121 can be connected to the eighth valve interface 5232, the eighth interface 5122 can be connected to the seventh valve interface 5231, and the ninth interface 5123 can be connected to the eleventh valve interface 5242. Water in water tank 2 flows into the fourth valve body 524 and, under the control of the fourth valve body 524, flows out from the eleventh valve port and into the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 through the ninth interface 5123 to be converted into cold water. The converted cold water can then flow back into the third valve body 523 on the main body 51 through the eighth interface 5122. At this time, the third valve body 523 can control a portion of the cold water to flow out from the eighth valve interface 5232 and back into the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 through the seventh interface 5121 for ice making. The arrangement of the seventh interface 5121, the eighth interface 5122, and the ninth interface 5123 enables the flow of water between the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 and the main body 51.

[0110] In some embodiments, a flow channel is formed between the second plate 512 and the first plate 511, the flow channel connecting the first interface 5111 to the third valve interface 5213, the second interface 5112 to the fifth valve interface 5222, the third interface to the tenth valve interface 5241, the fourth interface 5114 to the sixth valve interface 5223, the fifth interface 5115 to the twelfth valve interface 5243, the sixth interface 5116 to the second valve interface 5212, the fourth valve interface 5221 to the ninth valve interface 5233, the seventh interface 5121 to the eighth valve interface 5232, and the ninth interface 5123 to the eleventh valve interface 5242.

[0111] Since water needs to flow on the main body 51, the structure of the main body 51 affects the flow of water on the main body 51. The water circuit control device 5 alternates between the first plate 511 and the second plate 512, and sets multiple flow channels between the first plate 511 and the second plate 512. The flow channels connect the first interface 5111 and the third valve interface 5213, allowing water entering the first valve body 521 to flow back to the first interface 5111 from the third valve port through the corresponding flow channel and finally return to the water tank 2. The second interface 5112 of the flow channel connects to the fifth valve interface 5222, allowing water entering the second valve body 522 to flow out from the fifth valve port under the control of the second valve body 522, flow through the corresponding flow channel to the second interface 5112, and finally return to the water tank 2. The flow channels connect the third interface 5113 to the tenth valve interface 5241, enabling… Water in water tank 2 can flow from the third port 5113 through the corresponding flow channel and then through the tenth valve port 5241 into the fourth valve body 524, where it selectively continues to flow under the action of the fourth valve body 524. The flow channel connects the fourth port 5114 with the sixth valve port 5223, allowing the cold water produced by the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 to selectively flow through the fourth port 5114 to the water outlet after passing through the second valve body 522. The flow channel connects the fifth port 5115 with the twelfth valve port 5243, enabling water flow between the fourth port 5114 and the fourth valve body 524. When water in water tank 2 flows into the fourth valve body 524 through the third port 5113, the fourth valve body 524 can selectively... The controlled ambient temperature water flows through the channel between the fifth port 5115 and the twelfth valve port 5243, eventually flowing to the water outlet after passing through the fifth port 5115; the channel connects the sixth port 5116 and the second valve port 5212, thus connecting the first valve body 521 and the sixth port 5116, allowing the hot water generated by the heating module 31 to selectively flow to the water outlet through the sixth port 5116 under the control of the first valve body 521; the channel connects the fourth valve port 5221 and the ninth valve port 5233, creating a conductive channel between the third valve body 523 and the second valve body 522, allowing the cold water generated by the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 to selectively flow to the second valve body 523 under the control of the third valve body 523. Valve body 522: At this time, cold water passing through the second valve body 522 can selectively flow to the water outlet device or return to the water tank 2 under the control of the second valve body 522; the flow channel connects the seventh port 5121 and the eighth valve port 5232, so that the third valve body 523 is connected to the return water port of the refrigeration and ice-making component 4. The cold water flowing into the third valve body 523 can selectively return to the ice-making device through the seventh port 5121 to be used as raw material for ice making; the flow channel connects the ninth port and the eleventh valve port 5242, so that the fourth valve body 524 is connected to the refrigeration and ice-making component 4. The water in the fourth valve body 524 of the flow channel of the water tank 2 can flow into the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 through the ninth port 5123 to be processed into cold water.The water circuit control device 5 is equipped with a flow channel to selectively connect the various interfaces and valve interfaces on the main body 51, so that the water circuit control device 5 can control the flow relationship of water between the water tank 2, the refrigeration and ice-making component 4, the heating module 31 and the water outlet device, thereby improving the water circuit control device 5's control capability over the water circuit.

[0112] In some embodiments, the first interface 5111, the second interface 5112, and the third interface 5113 are arranged sequentially in a first direction; and / or the first valve interface 5211, the second valve interface 5212, and the third valve interface 5213 are arranged sequentially in a first direction; and / or the fourth valve interface 5221, the fifth valve interface 5222, and the sixth valve interface 5223 are arranged sequentially in a first direction; and / or the seventh valve interface 5231, the eighth valve interface 5232, and the ninth valve interface 5233 are arranged sequentially in a first direction; and / or the tenth valve interface 5241, the eleventh valve interface 5242, and the twelfth valve interface 5243 are arranged sequentially in a first direction.

[0113] Since the main body 51 has multiple interfaces and multiple valve interfaces, the location of each interface and each valve interface will affect the overall layout of the main body 51. The water circuit control device 5 arranges the first interface 5111, the second interface 5112, and the third interface 5113 in sequence in the first direction; the first valve interface 5211, the second valve interface 5212, and the third valve interface 5213 are also arranged in sequence in the first direction; the fourth valve interface 5221, the fifth valve interface 5222, and the sixth valve interface 5223 are also arranged in sequence in the first direction; the seventh valve interface 5231, the eighth valve interface 5232, and the ninth valve interface 5233 are also arranged in sequence in the first direction; and the tenth valve interface 5241, the eleventh valve interface 5242, and the twelfth valve interface 5243 are also arranged in sequence in the first direction. However, it is worth noting that the arrangement positions of the first interface 5111, the second interface 5112, and the third interface 5113 are spaced apart from the arrangement positions of the first valve interface 5211, the second valve interface 5212, and the third valve interface 5213 in the second direction; similarly, the arrangement positions of the first valve interface 5211, the second valve interface 5212, and the third valve interface 5213 are spaced apart from the arrangement positions of the fourth valve interface 5221, the fifth valve interface 5222, and the sixth valve interface 5223 in the second direction; the arrangement positions of the fourth valve interface 5221, the fifth valve interface 5222, and the sixth valve interface 5223 are spaced apart from the arrangement positions of the seventh valve interface 5231, the eighth valve interface 5232, and the ninth valve interface 5233 in the second direction; and the arrangement positions of the seventh valve interface 5231, the eighth valve interface 5232, and the ninth valve interface 5233 are spaced apart from the arrangement positions of the tenth valve interface 5241, the eleventh valve interface 5242, and the twelfth valve interface 5243 in the second direction. The arrangement of the various interfaces and valve interfaces on the main body 51 makes the overall structure of the main body 51 more reasonable and aesthetically pleasing.

[0114] In some embodiments, the seventh interface 5121, the eighth interface 5122, and the ninth interface 5123 are arranged sequentially in a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction. Specifically, the seventh interface 5121, the eighth interface 5122, and the ninth interface 5123 are arranged sequentially in the second direction, and the eighth interface 5122 is connected to the seventh valve interface 5231. Therefore, the position of the eighth interface 5122 is directly opposite to the seventh valve interface 5231. The seventh interface 5121 and the ninth interface 5123 are respectively located on both sides of the eighth interface 5122 in the second direction. It is worth noting that the second direction is orthogonal to the first direction. The arrangement design of the seventh interface 5121, the eighth interface 5122, and the ninth interface 5123 makes the structural layout on the second plate 512 more compact. During assembly, it is convenient for the seventh interface 5121, the eighth interface 5122, and the ninth interface 5123 to be connected to the corresponding positions on the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4. The arrangement of the seventh interface 5121, the eighth interface 5122, and the ninth interface 5123 makes the connection pipes between the refrigeration and ice-making component 4 and the main body 51 more neat and aesthetically pleasing.

[0115] In some embodiments, a protrusion 5117 protruding from the surface of the first plate 511 is formed on the first plate 511, and the protrusion 5117 is adapted to be fixedly connected to the water outlet device. Since the water outlet device is connected to the main body 51, the structure of the main body 51 affects the assembly of the water outlet device. The main body 51 is provided with a protrusion 5117 protruding from the surface of the first plate 511. The protrusion 5117 can provide an installation position for the water outlet device. During assembly, the water outlet device can be fixed by cooperating with the protrusion 5117. The provision of the protrusion 5117 improves the stability of the water outlet device during assembly.

[0116] In some embodiments, connecting lugs are formed on the outer periphery of the first plate 511 and / or the second plate 512, and the connecting lugs are adapted to be fixedly connected to the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4. Since the main body 51 is assembled on the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4, the structure of the main body 51 will affect the assembly of the main body 51 itself. The main body 51 is provided with a plurality of connecting lugs on the outer periphery of the first plate 511 and the second plate 512, and bolt holes can be machined on each connecting lug. During assembly, the connecting lugs can fit against the outer shell of the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4, and fasteners can be fixed with the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 by passing through the bolt holes. It is worth noting that the extension direction of the lugs does not have to be in the plane of the first plate 511 or the second plate 512. It can be understood that the extension direction of the lugs can be set according to the shape of the outer surface of the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4, as long as the lugs can fit against the outer surface of the refrigeration and ice-making assembly 4 during assembly. The setting of the lugs improves the assembly stability of the main body 51.

[0117] In some embodiments, the water circuit control device assembly 5 is connected to the ice-making module 42 and / or the heating electronic control module 3. This allows for a more compact layout, improving space utilization.

[0118] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the drinking device 100, the water circuit control device assembly 5, the ice-making module 42, and / or the heating electronic control module 3 are sequentially distributed in the left-right or front-back direction. This makes their arrangement more compact, reducing the installation space they occupy in other directions.

[0119] In some embodiments, the drinking device 100 is configured as a water dispenser or a water purifier.

[0120] The aforementioned water dispensers can be countertop water dispensers, standing water dispensers, built-in water dispensers, and pipeline water dispensers, etc., which have multiple functions such as ice making, chilled water making, hot water making, and room temperature water making.

[0121] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned water purifier may be a countertop water purifier, a standing water purifier, a built-in water purifier, or a pipeline water dispenser, etc., which have functions of purifying water and making ice, purifying water and heating water, purifying water and cooling water, and purifying water and making room temperature water.

[0122] In some embodiments, the water purifier further includes a filtration module for filtering the water from the ice-making module.

[0123] Because water purifiers, compared to water dispensers, need to purify water, their design affects their purification efficiency. Water purifiers also include a filtration system that connects to the water circuit within the cooling module. During operation, the filtration system filters the water in the cooling module to improve the purification effect. Furthermore, the filtration system can be placed in other locations within the water purifier to purify the water in other functional components.

[0124] In some embodiments, the water purifier can also be used in coffee makers, soda makers, tea makers to enable the coffee makers, soda makers, tea makers, and other equipment to heat water and improve the compactness of their internal structure.
