In this state, the second inductor 520 is close to the first inductor 510 and sends a signal, the controller 530 receives the signal, and the power mechanism 300 is controlled to operate to drive the water receiving device 200 to rotate, so that the water receiving device 200 adjusts the state according to the signal, thereby enabling the instant drinking machine to be used in the wall-mounted state, such as

[0053] In the optional technical scheme of the embodiment, the main body device 100 is provided with a supporting ring 110, the water receiving device 200 comprises a plug-in assembly 210 and a water outlet assembly 220, the power mechanism 300 is installed in the plug-in assembly 210, the plug-in assembly 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water outlet assembly 220 and is rotatably plugged into the supporting ring 110.

[0054] Specific combination Figures 1 to 6 And Figure 9 As shown in the figure, when the controller 530 controls the power mechanism 300 to operate, the plug-in assembly 210 rotates relative to the power mechanism 300, thereby driving the water outlet assembly 220 to rotate relative to the supporting ring 110, so as to realize the switching between the two use states. The supporting ring 110 provides a supporting and limiting effect for the water receiving device 200, so as to ensure that the water receiving device 200 can rotate relative to the main body device 100, and at the same time, avoid the main body device 100 and the water receiving device 200 from being separated, thereby improving the use effect and use safety of the instant drinking machine.

[0055] In the optional technical scheme of the embodiment, the power mechanism 300 comprises a driving piece and a transmission assembly, the transmission assembly comprises a first transmission piece 310 and a second transmission piece 320.

[0056] The plug-in assembly 210 comprises a plug-in shell 211 and a rotating disc 212, the plug-in shell 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water outlet assembly 220, the rotating disc 212 is fixedly connected to the open end of the plug-in shell 211, the driving piece is arranged on the rotating disc 212 and is in transmission connection with the first transmission piece 310, the second transmission piece 320 is arranged on the inner wall of the plug-in shell 211, the first transmission piece 310 is in transmission connection with the second transmission piece 320, and the driving piece is in signal connection with the controller 530.

[0057] Specific combination Figures 1 to 6 And Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the plug-in shell 211 and the rotating disc 212 are both provided with first limiting ribs, the inner wall of the supporting ring 110 is provided with second limiting ribs, the plug-in shell 211 is inserted into the supporting ring 110 from above the supporting ring 110, the rotating disc 212 is fixedly connected with the plug-in shell 211 from below the supporting ring 110, the second limiting ribs are located between the two groups of first limiting ribs, so as to ensure that the water receiving device 200 can rotate relative to the main body device 100, and at the same time, avoid the plug-in shell 211 from being separated from the supporting ring 110. The driving piece is arranged on the rotating disc 212 and is in transmission connection with the plug-in shell 211 through the first transmission piece 310 and the second transmission piece 320. When the driving piece receives a signal, it starts to operate and drives the first transmission piece 310 and the second transmission piece 320 to rotate, thereby driving the plug-in shell 211 and the rotating disc 212 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation of the water receiving device 200 relative to the main body device 100.

[0058] In the optional technical scheme of the embodiment, the driving member is a driving motor, the first transmission member 310 is a gear, and the second transmission member 320 is a rack. The gear is fixedly sleeved on a motor shaft of the driving motor and is engaged with the rack.

[0059] Specific combination Figures 4 to 7 As shown in the figure, the rack is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the plug-in shell 211, and the gear is engaged with the rack. When the driving motor is started, the motor shaft rotates to drive the gear to rotate. In the process of engagement between the gear and the rack, the plug-in shell 211 is rotated, so that the water receiving device 200 is rotated relative to the main body device 100. Since the transmission mode is set as the gear and rack transmission, the rotation effect and rotation accuracy are ensured when the water receiving device 200 is rotated relative to the main body device 100, so as to further improve the use effect of the instant machine.

[0060] In the optional technical scheme of the embodiment, the water outlet assembly 220 includes a water outlet nozzle 221, a water receiving table 222, and a water outlet shell 223. The water outlet nozzle 221 is arranged on the side wall of the water outlet shell 223 and is arranged close to the top wall of the water outlet shell 223. The water receiving table 222 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water outlet shell 223 corresponding to the water outlet nozzle 221. The water outlet nozzle 221 is in communication with the main body device 100.

[0061] Specific combination Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown in the figure, in this way, since the water receiving table 222 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the water outlet shell 223, when the water outlet assembly 220 is rotated with the plug-in assembly 210, the water outlet nozzle 221 and the water receiving table 222 are synchronously rotated, and the water receiving table 222 is always located below the water outlet nozzle 221, so as to avoid the situation that residual water drops on the table top, and further improve the user experience. In addition, in the embodiment, in order to facilitate the rotation of the water receiving device 200 relative to the main body device 100, the cross-sectional shape of the water outlet shell 223 and the plug-in shell 211 along the height direction of the instant machine is set as a circle.

[0062] In the optional technical scheme of the embodiment, the instant machine further includes a reset assembly 600. The reset assembly 600 is arranged on the water receiving device 200 and is in signal connection with the controller 530.

[0063] Specific combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 10As shown, with this configuration, when the water receiving device 200 is in a state between state one and state two, the reset component 600 sends a signal, the control component receives the signal and controls the power mechanism 300 to operate, causing the water receiving device 200 to return to state one or state two. Afterwards, the reset component 600 sends another signal, the controller 530 receives the signal and controls the power mechanism 300 to stop operating. This configuration allows the water receiving device 200 to automatically reset without requiring manual adjustment by the operator, further improving the user experience.

[0064] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the reset component 600 includes a first sensor 610, a second sensor 620 and an indicator 630, the plug-in component 210 also includes a base 213, the rotating disk 212 is fixedly connected to the support ring 110, the first sensor 610 and the second sensor 620 are fixedly arranged on the rotating disk 212 at intervals along the circumference of the rotating disk 212 and are both signal connected to the controller 530, and the indicator 630 is fixedly arranged on the rotating disk 212.

[0065] Specific combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the first sensor 610 is configured as a second Hall proximity switch, and the second sensor 620 is configured as a first Hall proximity switch. When the instant water dispenser is wall-mounted, the second sensor 520 approaches the first sensor 510 located on the mounting plate assembly 400, generating an electrical signal that is transmitted to the controller 530. The controller 530 controls the drive motor. When the indicator 630 on the rotating disk 212 is at the first Hall proximity switch, it indicates the orientation of the water receiving device 200 when wall-mounted, and the drive motor stops rotating. If the indicator 630 is not at the first Hall proximity switch, this embodiment specifies that the drive motor drives the gear to rotate clockwise. Figure 7 (Viewed from above) The water receiving device 200 stops at the orientation of the wall-mounted unit when the indicator 630 senses the first Hall proximity switch. When the instant water dispenser is placed on the table and plugged in, since the second sensor 520 cannot sense the signal of the first sensor 510, the controller 530 controls the drive motor to rotate. When the indicator 630 on the rotating disk 212 is at the second Hall proximity switch, the water receiving device 200 is in the orientation of the table, and the drive motor stops rotating. If the indicator 630 on the rotating disk 212 is not at the second Hall proximity switch, in this embodiment, the drive motor drives the gear to rotate clockwise. The indicator 630 first senses the first Hall proximity switch, and then the drive motor rotates counterclockwise until the indicator 630 senses the second Hall proximity switch, and the water receiving assembly stops at the orientation of the table.

[0066] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the main device 100 includes a water tank 120 and a main mechanism 130. The water tank 120 is detachably disposed on the main mechanism 130, and the support ring 110 is fixedly disposed on the main mechanism 130. The water tank 120 and the water outlet 221 are both connected to the main mechanism 130.

[0067] Specific combination Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, with this setup, when a large amount of water is needed, the water tank 120 can be directly removed to draw water without waiting for water to come out of the spout 221; at the same time, it is convenient to remove the water tank 120 for cleaning, avoiding the growth of bacteria and secondary pollution of the water source due to long-term use.

[0068] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the main body 130 includes a main body shell 131, an ice chamber 132, a heating element 133, a water distribution valve 134, and a water pump 135;

[0069] Ice tank 132 and water distribution valve 134 are located inside the main body housing 131, and heating element 133 is located inside the water outlet housing 223. Ice tank 132 and heating element 133 are both connected to water outlet 221, and ice tank 132 and heating element 133 are both connected to water tank 120 through water distribution valve 134. Water pump 135 is located between water distribution valve 134 and water tank 120.

[0070] Specific combination Figures 1 to 4 and Figures 8 to 10 As shown, with this configuration, when the user needs cold water, the water distribution valve 134 rotates, connecting the ice tank 132 to the water tank 120, thus allowing cold water to flow from the spout 221; when the user needs hot water, the water distribution valve 134 rotates, connecting the heating element 133 to the water tank 120, thus allowing hot water to flow from the spout 221, thereby expanding the applicability of the instant water dispenser. Since the water pump 135 is located between the water distribution valve 134 and the water tank 120, it is easier to pump water from the water tank 120 to the water distribution valve 134, further enhancing the adaptability of the instant water dispenser.

[0071] In addition, in this embodiment, the ice chamber 132 is disposed inside the main body shell 131 and the heating element 133 is disposed inside the water outlet shell 223. Alternatively, the ice chamber 132 can be disposed inside the water outlet shell 223 and the heating element 133 can be disposed inside the main body shell 131, or both the ice chamber 132 and the heating element 133 can be disposed inside the water outlet shell 223, or both the ice chamber 132 and the heating element 133 can be disposed inside the main body shell 131.

[0072] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the main device 100 further includes a sensing component 140, and the water inlet valve 1312 is configured as a solenoid valve. Both the sensing component 140 and the solenoid valve are signal connected to the controller 530.

[0073] Specifically combined Figure 3 And Figure 10 As shown, the sensing assembly 140 is used to sense the position of the water tank 120 and the water level in the water tank 120. Since the sensing assembly 140 and the electromagnetic valve are both signal-connected with the controller 530, when the controller 530 receives a signal, it is determined whether the water tank 120 is placed above the water outlet shell 223 and whether water is injected into the water tank 120, so as to realize the automatic water injection of the instant drinking machine and further improve the convenience.

[0074] In the optional technical solution of the embodiment, the sensing assembly 140 includes a first water level sensing piece 141, a second water level sensing piece 142, an identification piece 143, and a position sensing piece 144. The first water level sensing piece 141 and the second water level sensing piece 142 are both arranged in the main body shell 131 corresponding to the water tank 120 and are arranged at intervals along the main body shell 131. The identification piece 143 is arranged in the water tank 120. The position sensing piece 144 is arranged in the main body shell 131 corresponding to the water tank 120.

[0075] Specifically combined Figure 3 And Figure 10 As shown, the first water level sensing piece 141 is a low water level sensing piece, and the second water level sensing piece 142 is a high water level sensing piece. The identification piece 143 is arranged in the water tank 120. The identification piece 143 and the first water level sensing piece 141 or the second water level sensing piece 142 emit signals, which facilitate the controller 530 to determine the water amount in the water tank 120, so as to determine whether to inject water into the water tank 120. When the water tank 120 is installed on the main body shell 131 or is detached from the main body shell 131, the position sensing piece 144 emits a signal, and the controller 530 controls the on-off of the electromagnetic valve, so as to avoid the situation that the water tank 120 is detached from the main body shell 131, but the electromagnetic valve still injects water, thereby further improving the use experience and convenience.

[0076] In the optional technical solution of the embodiment, the water tank 120 is arranged above the ice tank 132. The water tank 120 is arranged with a water inlet valve 121 and a water outlet valve 122 on the side wall close to the ice tank 132. The main body shell 131 is arranged with a water inlet 1311 and a water inlet valve 1312. The water inlet valve 1312 is in communication with the water inlet valve 121. The water outlet valve 122 is in communication with the water pump 135.

[0077] Specifically combined Figures 1 to 4 And Figures 8 to 10As shown, in the embodiment, the identification member 143 is a floating ball. One end of the electromagnetic valve is connected with the water inlet 1311 of the water purifier, and the other end is connected with the water inlet valve 121. The water tank 120 is inserted into the water inlet valve 121 and the water outlet valve 122. The water position sensing member 144 senses the position of the water tank 120, prompting the water tank 120 to be installed in place. The floating ball at the low water level is sensed by the first water level sensing member 141, prompting the water tank 120 to be short of water. At this time, the electromagnetic valve can be opened to allow water to enter under the control of the controller 530. The floating ball gradually rises to the high water level and is sensed by the second water level sensing member 142, closing the electromagnetic valve, and the water filling is completed. The water flows through the water pump 135 after passing through the water outlet valve 122 and enters the water distribution valve 134, flows to the ice tank 132 in one way, and flows to the heating body 133 in the other way. When the instant drinking machine is not directly connected with the water purifier, the water inlet end of the electromagnetic valve is blocked, the water tank 120 is removed to fill water, the floating ball is higher than the low water level, and then the water tank 120 is installed in the instant drinking machine. The subsequent water path can work. The ice tank 132 is located below the water tank 120. When the instant drinking machine is used for the first time, the water distribution valve 134 conducts the ice tank 132 water path, and the water pump 135 pumps normal temperature water into the ice tank 132. When cold water needs to be taken, the water pump 135 works, the water distribution valve 134 is cut to the ice tank 132 water path, the normal temperature water is pumped into the ice tank 132 and is located at the upper part of the ice tank 132, the cold water at the lower part is pressed out and flows out through the water outlet nozzle 221; when the taking of cold water is stopped, the water distribution valve 134 cuts off the ice tank 132 water path, and the water pump 135 stops working, and the ice tank 132 no longer fills water.
