Description

In order to keep the pressure in the water tank constant, it is necessary to install an exhaust pipe or open an exhaust hole on the water tank, and then after the tap water enters the water tank, the air in the water tank is discharged under the pressure of the tap water.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0015] 1. Place the hose in the space formed by the top cover and the bottom cover, and then insert the positioning rod into the positioning sleeve to connect the support plate with the upper connecting ear. At this time, a certain distance is maintained between the support plate and the upper connecting ear. One end of the screw passes through the support plate, the upper connecting ear and the lower connecting ear in turn, and then the nut is screwed on to complete the assembly of the top cover and the bottom cover, so that the hose can be installed in the space formed by the top cover and the bottom cover.

[0016] 2. Place the end of the hose in the cylindrical structure formed by the upper arc plate and the lower arc plate, so that the upper arc plate and the lower arc plate can be used to press the end of the hose, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the hose and the left branch pipe and the right branch pipe.

[0017] 3. After opening the valve, the water from the tap water pipe flows into the water tank through the channel formed by the right branch pipe, the hose and the left branch pipe, so as to replenish the water in the main pipe of the chiller. When the water in the space formed by the water tank and the box cover continues to increase due to the failure to close the valve in time, part of the water in the space formed by the water tank and the box cover flows into the space formed by the top cover and the bottom cover through the overflow pipe, and then the water flows into the space formed by the box cover and the temporary storage box through the vertical pipe. At this time, the expansion airbag moves upward under the action of buoyancy, and the expansion airbag moves upward through the push rod and the limit The plate drives the lower pressure plate to move upward, and the upper pressure plate cooperates with the lower pressure plate to squeeze the hose so that the hose is flattened and in a closed state, so that tap water no longer enters the water tank when the valve is not closed, and the buoyancy generated by the overflowing water on the inflated airbag is used to cut off the replenishment channel of the tap water, thereby avoiding water overflow from the water tank, reducing the waste of water resources, and avoiding water splashing on other components in the chiller and causing damage to them. After the water in the temporary storage box is discharged, it is convenient to keep the hose in a non-squeezed state.

[0018] 4. Connect the inflation nozzle to the air outlet end of the inflation device, and then use the inflation device to inject space into the expansion airbag to increase the volume of the expansion airbag, thereby increasing the buoyancy of the expansion airbag when the water level flowing into the temporary storage box is low, so that the squeezing force of the lower pressure plate on the hose can be greater than the water pressure of the tap water flowing through the hose as needed, so that the lower pressure plate and the upper pressure plate can smoothly make the hose flat and in a closed state.

[0019] 5. Use a U-shaped plate to connect the temporary storage box and the water storage tank to improve the stability of the structure. Install right and left protrusions between the U-shaped plate and the temporary storage box and the water storage tank respectively, so as to partially increase the thickness of the temporary storage box and the water storage tank where the screws are installed, without increasing the wall thickness of the temporary storage box and the water storage tank as a whole.
