Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drinking water equipment technology, and more particularly to a pipeline machine. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, water dispensers typically use a heating element to heat the water supplied from the tank.

[0058] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0059] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0060] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0061] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0062] This embodiment provides a water dispenser, which includes a body, a water tank, and a heating element. The body is provided with a water outlet, the water tank is located inside the body and is used to store water, and the heating element is used to heat the water flowing out of the water tank. The water flowing out of the water tank can enter the water outlet after passing through the heating element, so that the user can get water at the required temperature through the water outlet.

[0063] In existing technology, when room temperature water (usually 0°C) from the water tank is heated to the preset temperature by the heating element, it generally takes a while (about 3 seconds). Furthermore, the water just flowing from the outlet may be room temperature, which not only increases the user's waiting time but also reduces the accuracy of the water temperature. In addition, water dispensers are typically wall-mounted in the kitchen or living room; if users need hot water in other locations, they have to go to the dispenser to get it, which is inconvenient.

[0064] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water dispenser provided in this embodiment also includes a thermos cup 1, which is detachably installed inside the machine body. Water flowing from the water tank, after passing through the heating element, can also flow into the thermos cup 1, and the water inside the thermos cup 1 can flow into the water outlet. By installing the thermos cup 1 inside the machine body, the water dispenser provided in this embodiment can pre-store water at a certain temperature in the thermos cup 1. When the user takes water, they can prioritize using the water in the thermos cup 1, eliminating waiting time and allowing for quick access to hot water. This also avoids the issue of the water being at room temperature, ensuring the accuracy of the hot water temperature. Furthermore, the thermos cup 1 can be detached from the machine body, allowing the user to use hot water in other locations, making it more convenient and flexible. Removing the thermos cup 1 does not affect the overall operation of the water dispenser, further enhancing its flexibility.

[0065] To illustrate, if the water stored in thermos flask 1 is at a relatively low temperature (e.g., 45°C) and the user wants to obtain water at a higher temperature (e.g., 85°C or 95°C), while the heating element is heating the water flowing from the tank to the user's desired temperature, the water in thermos flask 1 can be drained first. This reduces the user's waiting time, and the final water the user receives is a mixture of the desired temperature water and the water in thermos flask 1. This better meets the user's temperature requirements compared to the traditional mixture of the desired temperature water and room temperature water (usually 0°C). Furthermore, if the water stored in thermos flask 1 is at a relatively high temperature (e.g., 85°C or 95°C), and the user wants to obtain water at a lower temperature, the water in thermos flask 1 can also be drained first. It should be noted that the specific temperature of the water in thermos flask 1 can be set according to actual needs.

[0066] like Figure 2As shown, the water dispenser provided in this embodiment also includes an installation detection component 5. The installation detection component 5 includes a first detection element 51 and a second detection element 52. The first detection element 51 is installed on the machine body, and the second detection element 52 is installed on the thermos cup 1. When the thermos cup 1 is installed in the machine body, the first detection element 51 and the second detection element 52 sense each other, thereby ensuring that the thermos cup 1 is installed in the machine body. Optionally, the first detection element 51 can be a reed switch, and the second detection element 52 can be a magnet. When the thermos cup 1 is installed in the machine body, the reed switch can sense the magnet, thereby detecting whether the thermos cup 1 is installed in the machine body. In other embodiments, the first detection element 51 and the second detection element 52 can also be designed as other mutually sensing devices, such as sensors.

[0067] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the machine body includes a mounting assembly 2. The thermos cup 1 is detachably mounted on the mounting assembly 2. The mounting assembly 2 includes a mounting bracket 21 and an annular turntable 22. The mounting bracket 21 is mounted on the main body of the machine body, and the annular turntable 22 can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 21. The annular turntable 22 has a first position and a second position. When the annular turntable 22 is in the first position, it engages and fixes the thermos cup 1. When the annular turntable 22 is in the second position, it releases the thermos cup 1. The above-described structural design of the mounting assembly 2 allows for the installation and removal of the thermos cup 1 on the mounting assembly 2 by rotating the position of the annular turntable 22, making the structure simple, the operation convenient, and enabling quick installation and removal of the thermos cup 1. Optionally, in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 21 can be fixed to the main body of the machine body by bolts. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the thermos cup 1 can also be directly engaged and fixed to the machine body by snap-fit ​​fasteners.

[0068] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, a first mounting groove 214 is provided on the side of the mounting bracket 21 away from the annular turntable 22, and the first detection element 51 is installed in the first mounting groove 214.

[0069] like Figures 2-6As shown, the mounting assembly 2 provided in this embodiment also includes an annular guide plate 23, which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 21. An annular turntable 22 is rotatably disposed between the mounting bracket 21 and the annular guide plate 23. Multiple first protrusions 231 are spaced circumferentially on the inner sidewall of the annular guide plate 23, and multiple second protrusions 221 are spaced circumferentially on the inner sidewall of the annular turntable 22. Multiple third protrusions 111 are spaced circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the thermos cup 1. The multiple second protrusions 221... The first tooth 231 and the second tooth 221 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the third tooth 111. When the annular turntable 22 is in the first position, the first tooth 231 and the second tooth 221 are staggered along the circumference of the annular turntable 22, and the second tooth 221 engages with the corresponding third tooth 111 to fix the thermos cup 1. When the annular turntable 22 is in the second position, the first tooth 231 and the second tooth 221 overlap, and the second tooth 221 disengages from the third tooth 111 to facilitate the removal of the thermos cup 1 from the mounting assembly 2. Specifically, when it is necessary to install the thermos cup 1 onto the mounting assembly 2, align the third tooth 111 on the thermos cup 1 with the gap between two adjacent first teeth 231, and then proceed as follows. Figure 4 As indicated by the middle arrow, the annular turntable 22 is rotated from the first position to the second position, causing the first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 221 to overlap. This allows the third protrusion 111 to be inserted upwards between two adjacent first protrusions 231 until it is inserted above the second protrusion 221. At this point, after the annular turntable 22 rotates back to the first position from the second position, the third protrusion 111 is precisely engaged with the corresponding second protrusion 221, thus achieving the installation of the thermos cup 1. When it is necessary to remove the thermos cup 1 from the mounting assembly 2, hold the thermos cup 1 by hand and then rotate the annular turntable 22 from the first position to the second position. This will disengage the second protrusion 221 from the third protrusion 111, allowing the thermos cup 1 to be removed. This configuration ensures that the thermos cup 1 can be secured by the mounting assembly 2 on all four sides, effectively improving the stability and reliability of the thermos cup 1 installation. In addition, the structural design of the aforementioned annular guide plate 23 provides alignment guidance for the insertion and installation of the thermos cup 1 on the mounting component 2, making it easier to achieve precise installation of the thermos cup 1 on the mounting component 2.

[0070] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the second protruding tooth 221 is provided with a second guide slope 2211, and the third protruding tooth 111 is provided with a third guide slope 1111. During the installation of the thermos cup 1 into the mounting assembly 2, the third guide slope 1111 can abut against the second guide slope 2211. This arrangement ensures that during the installation of the thermos cup 1, the third guide slope 1111 on the thermos cup 1 can abut against the second guide slope 2211, and the annular turntable 22 can rotate from the first position to the second position under the insertion force of the thermos cup 1, without the need for additional rotation of the annular turntable 22, making the installation of the thermos cup 1 more convenient. Furthermore, it should be noted that after the thermos cup 1 is installed in place, since the third protruding tooth 111 is inserted above the second protruding tooth 221, it no longer generates a driving force on the annular turntable 22. At this time, the annular turntable 22 can return to the first position to ensure the locking and fixing of the third protruding tooth 111 and the second protruding tooth 221.

[0071] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a first guide slope 2311 is provided on the first protruding tooth 231. When the third protruding tooth 111 is inserted upward between two adjacent first protruding teeth 231, the third guide slope 1111 can fit with the first guide slope 2311, thereby providing a further guiding function for the insertion and installation of the thermos cup 1.

[0072] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting bracket 21 has multiple mounting posts 217 spaced apart along its circumference, and the annular guide plate 23 has multiple connecting holes 232 spaced apart along its circumference. Each mounting post 217 corresponds to one of the connecting holes 232. Bolts can pass through the connecting holes 232 and be threaded onto the mounting posts 217, thus fixing the mounting bracket 21 to the annular guide plate 23. This arrangement not only ensures the stability and reliability of the mounting bracket 21 and the annular guide plate 23, but also provides clearance for the rotational installation of the annular turntable 22 between the mounting bracket 21 and the annular guide plate 23, making the entire mounting assembly 2 more compact and rational in structure.

[0073] like Figures 6-8As shown, the mounting bracket 21 has a first annular limiting rib 211 protruding on the side facing the annular turntable 22, and the annular turntable 22 has a second annular limiting rib 222 protruding on the side facing the mounting bracket 21. The first annular limiting rib 211 is nested around the outer periphery of the second annular limiting rib 222. This arrangement provides circumferential limiting for the rotation of the annular turntable 22, making the rotation of the annular turntable 22 between the first and second positions more stable and reliable, and facilitating the guiding installation of the thermos cup 1. In addition, the arrangement of the first annular limiting rib 211 and the second annular limiting rib 222 also ensures the structural strength of the mounting bracket 21 and the annular turntable 22.

[0074] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, a lever 223 is provided on the outer wall of the annular turntable 22. By providing the lever 223 on the annular turntable 22, it is easy to switch the entire annular turntable 22 to the first position and the second position by pushing the lever 223, making the operation more convenient.

[0075] Optionally, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the mounting assembly 2 provided in this embodiment also includes a reset member 24. The reset member 24 is connected between the mounting bracket 21 and the annular turntable 22. The reset member 24 is used to drive the annular turntable 22 to reset to the first position. Specifically, the reset member 24 can be a spring. The mounting bracket 21 has a second mounting groove 215 on the side facing the annular turntable 22. The spring is accommodated in the second mounting groove 215. The annular turntable 22 has a protruding abutment rib 224 on the side facing the mounting bracket 21. The first end of the spring abuts against the groove wall of the second mounting groove 215, and the second end of the spring abuts against the abutment rib 224. When the annular turntable 22 is rotated from the first position to the second position, the spring is compressed. After the thermos cup 1 is installed in place, the rotation driving force on the annular turntable 22 is removed. The annular turntable 22 can automatically reset to the first position under the action of the elastic force of the spring to ensure reliable fixation of the annular turntable 22 to the thermos cup 1. It should be noted that during the installation of the thermos cup 1, the third guide slope 1111 on the thermos cup 1 can push the annular turntable 22 to rotate to the second position, or the annular turntable 22 can be rotated to the second position by manually moving the lever 223. In other embodiments, the reset member 24 can also be in the form of a spring.

[0076] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the mounting bracket 21 is equipped with a water inlet pipe 212 that communicates with the water tank, and a water outlet pipe 213 that communicates with the water outlet. The thermos cup 1 includes a cup body 11 and a vacuum stopper 12. Multiple third protrusions 111 are spaced circumferentially along the outer peripheral wall of the opening of the cup body 11. The vacuum stopper 12 can be inserted into the opening of the cup body 11. When the thermos cup 1 is mounted on the mounting assembly 2, both the water inlet pipe 212 and the water outlet pipe 213 are connected to the interior of the cup body 11 through the vacuum stopper 12. This arrangement allows water from the water tank to pass through the heating element, the water inlet pipe 212, and the vacuum stopper 12 before entering the interior of the cup body 11. Water inside the cup body 11 then flows to the water outlet after passing through the vacuum stopper 12 and the water outlet pipe 213. By inserting the vacuum stopper 12 into the opening of the cup body 11, the heat preservation effect of the thermos cup 1 on the internal water is effectively improved.

[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 12 As shown, the thermos cup 1 provided in this embodiment also includes a sealing element 13. The sealing element 13 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the vacuum cup stopper 12 and sandwiched between the outer peripheral wall of the vacuum cup stopper 12 and the inner peripheral wall of the cup body 11. By setting the sealing element 13, the sealing effect of the vacuum cup stopper 12 on the opening of the cup body 11 is effectively improved, further ensuring the heat preservation effect of the thermos cup 1. Optionally, the sealing element 13 includes a first sealing ring 131 and a second sealing ring 132 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the cup body 11. The first sealing ring 131 and the second sealing ring 132 are both sandwiched between the outer peripheral wall of the vacuum cup stopper 12 and the inner peripheral wall of the cup body 11. By setting the first sealing ring 131 and the second sealing ring 132, the upper and lower parts of the vacuum cup stopper 12 are both sleeved with sealing rings, realizing a double sealing effect between the vacuum cup stopper 12 and the cup body 11, greatly reducing heat dissipation at the vacuum cup stopper 12 and improving the heat preservation performance of the thermos cup 1.

[0078] In this embodiment, the vacuum stopper 12 has a first spiral water channel 121 and a second spiral water channel 122 spaced apart inside. When the thermos 1 is installed on the mounting assembly 2, the water inlet pipe 212 is connected to the inside of the cup body 11 through the first spiral water channel 121, and the water outlet pipe 213 is connected to the inside of the cup body 11 through the second spiral water channel 122. By setting two spiral water channels inside the vacuum stopper 12, the extension length of the water channels is effectively increased, ensuring the heat preservation performance of the entire thermos 1 even if the inside of the cup body 11 is connected to the outside through the water channels.

[0079] It should be noted that after the thermos cup 1 is removed from the mounting assembly 2, the first spiral water channel 121 and the second spiral water channel 122 can be sealed by the sealing component, thereby cutting off the connection between the thermos cup 1 and the outside world, making it convenient to take the thermos cup 1 to the required location for use.

[0080] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, the thermos cup 1 also includes a lid 15, which is snapped onto the vacuum stopper 12. Specifically, the lid 15 has a snap-fit ​​152, and the vacuum stopper 12 has a slot 123. The snap-fit ​​152 can be snapped into the slot 123 to achieve the installation of the lid 15 and the vacuum stopper 12. Optionally, the lid 15 also has a screw-on part 151, which allows for screwing along the... Figure 3 When the cup lid 15 is screwed on as indicated by the middle arrow, the vacuum cup stopper 12 can be removed from the opening of the cup body 11, making the operation convenient. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second detection element 52 is installed on the cup lid 15. After the thermos cup 1 is installed on the mounting assembly 2, the first detection element 51 on the mounting bracket 21 can promptly sense the second detection element 52.

[0081] In this embodiment, as Figure 11 As shown, the interior of the cup body 11 is provided with a water inlet channel 112 and a water outlet channel 113. The inlet of the water inlet channel 112 is connected to the first spiral channel 121, and the outlet of the water inlet channel 112 extends towards the bottom of the cup body 11. The outlet of the water outlet channel 113 is connected to the second spiral channel 122, and the outlet of the water outlet channel 113 is adjacent to the opening of the cup body 11. This arrangement ensures that the outlet of the water inlet channel 112 is close to the bottom of the cup body 11, and the outlet of the water outlet channel 113 is close to the opening of the cup body 11. This allows the water entering the cup body 11 to be fully mixed before being discharged through the water outlet channel 113, thus guaranteeing accurate temperature control.

[0082] Optionally, such as Figure 11 As shown, the pipeline machine also includes a detection component, which includes a temperature detection element 31 and a liquid level detection element 32. The temperature detection element 31 is located inside the cup body 11 and adjacent to the opening of the cup body 11. The temperature detection element 31 is used to detect the temperature of the water inside the cup body 11, and the liquid level detection element 32 is used to detect the liquid level inside the cup body 11.

[0083] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the pipeline machine also includes an electronic control board 4, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 21. When the thermos cup 1 is mounted on the mounting assembly 2, the pins 41 of the electronic control board 4 are connected to the sockets 3211 of the detection assembly, thereby realizing signal transmission between the electronic control board 4 and the detection assembly. Signal transmission between the electronic control board 4 and the detection assembly is achieved through the pins 41 and the sockets 3211, facilitating separation of the pins 41 and the sockets 3211 when the thermos cup 1 is removed from the mounting assembly 2. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 21 has a mounting hole 216, in which the electronic control board 4 is mounted, and the wall of the mounting hole 216 is provided with claws to secure the electronic control board 4 within the mounting hole 216.

[0084] In this embodiment, the liquid level detection component 32 includes a liquid level switch 321, a low liquid level detection float 322, and a high liquid level detection float 323. The end of the liquid level switch 321 extending out of the vacuum cup stopper 12 is provided with an insertion hole 3211. A temperature detection component 31 is integrated onto the liquid level switch 321 to facilitate signal transmission between the temperature detection component 31 and the electronic control board 4 via the liquid level switch 321. The liquid level switch 321 extends inside the cup body 11. Both the low liquid level detection float 322 and the high liquid level detection float 323 are disposed on the liquid level switch 321, and the high liquid level... The detection float 323 is located above the low-level detection float 322. When the liquid level in the cup 11 is lower than the low-level detection float 322, the low-level detection float 322 can detect it. At this time, the thermos cup 1 is in a water shortage state, so that the electronic control board 4 can promptly replenish water into the thermos cup 1 according to the corresponding signal. When the liquid level in the cup 11 reaches the high-level detection float 323, the high-level detection float 323 can detect it, so that the electronic control board 4 can stop replenishing water into the thermos cup 1 according to the corresponding signal, thus preventing the water level in the thermos cup 1 from becoming too high and overflowing. Since the specific detection principle and structure of the liquid level detection float are existing technologies, they will not be described in detail here.

[0085] In this embodiment, the main body of the detection component (i.e., the main body of the level switch 321) can extend into the vacuum cup stopper 12. The insulated cup 1 also includes a sealing sleeve 14, which is fitted onto the main body of the detection component and sandwiched between the detection component and the vacuum cup stopper 12. By providing the sealing sleeve 14, the level switch 321 is sealed, isolating it from the outside of the cup body 11 and ensuring its normal operation.
