Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a water tank of an air water making machine, and more specifically to a floating water tank of an air water making machine. Background Art
[0002] As the name implies, an air water maker is a device that uses air as a water source to produce liquid water. In existing air water makers, there are source water tanks and clean water tanks. The so-called source water tank refers to a container for water produced by the water chip of the air water maker, and the so-called clean water tank refers to a container for purified water. The water in the source water tank becomes purified water after passing through a purifier. The existing source water tank consists of a box body and a box cover. The box body is flat-bottomed, and a float, a water level sensor, a water pump and other devices are arranged in the box body. Some tubes and wires are connected to the box cover, and the source water tank is fixed and installed with bolts; the working principle of the source water tank: when the water level gradually rises, the float gradually floats up. When the float floats to a certain position, the water level sensor starts the water pump to work, and the water in the source water tank is pumped into the clean water tank for storage through the water pump, the water pump and the water purifier. The main problems of the existing source water tank are: first, the source water tank is easy to get dirty and smelly, and the water is easy to deteriorate, so it needs to be cleaned frequently, usually once every 10-15 days; second, the source water tank is difficult to install and disassemble. Every time the source water tank is cleaned, the source water tank and components need to be installed and disassembled. Installing and cleaning the source water tank is not only troublesome, but also easy to damage the components. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing source water tank, a floating water tank for an air water generator needs to be developed. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a floating water tank for an air water making machine.
[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: a floating water tank of an air water making machine, characterized in that a longitudinal guide plate is fixedly provided on the base, a transverse fixing plate is fixedly provided on the longitudinal guide plate, a floating seat is provided above the transverse fixing plate, a funnel box body is carried above the floating seat, a box cover is provided on the funnel box body, a compression spring guide shaft is longitudinally fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the floating seat, a compression spring is outerly provided on the compression spring guide shaft, the lower end of the compression spring guide shaft is movably connected with the guide hole on the transverse fixing plate, a water pump proximity switch is also provided on the transverse fixing plate, a metal contact for controlling the water pump is provided on the bottom surface of the floating seat above the water pump proximity switch, a silicone tube fixing plate is provided at the lower part of the floating seat, a silicone tube is fixed to the silicone tube fixing plate by a splint and a screw, one end of the silicone tube is connected to the funnel box water outlet pipe of the funnel box body, the other end of the silicone tube is connected to one end of the plug elbow, the other end of the plug elbow is connected to the water inlet pipe of the water pump, the water inlet pipe is connected to the water pump, and the longitudinal guide plate guides the floating seat and the funnel box body to move longitudinally.
[0005] Optimization: the floating water tank of the air water making machine described above is provided with a float water cylinder under the base, a float is installed in the float water cylinder, a leaking metal contact is provided on the top of the float, a leaking proximity switch is fixed above the leaking metal contact, water overflowing from the funnel box mouth flows into the float water cylinder, and a sterilization lamp is provided in the funnel box.
[0006] Optimization, the floating water tank of the air water making machine described above, the structure of the box cover is a water receiving tray, the water out of the water receiving tray flows into the funnel box body, a sterilization lamp is provided on the water receiving tray, and a retaining spring is provided at the lower end of the compression spring guide shaft. There are four compression spring guide shafts, which are evenly distributed at the four corners of the floating seat.
[0007] In the technical solution of the present invention, the original source water tank had a flat bottom, but now it is changed to a funnel box; the original source water tank had a box fixedly mounted on the chassis of the frame with a connecting piece, but now it is changed to a funnel box mounted on a floating seat, and a silicone tube is inserted into the water outlet pipe of the funnel box for active connection; the original source water tank used a float-type water level sensor in the box to control the operation of the water pump, but now it is changed to a water pump proximity switch under the floating seat to control the operation of the water pump; the original source water tank had a water inlet pipe of the water pump inserted into the box, and water was pumped out from the upper opening of the box, but now it is changed to water being discharged from the funnel box outlet pipe at the bottom of the funnel box; the original air water maker was provided with a water receiving tray and a source water tank cover, but now it is changed to a water receiving tray and a source water tank cover that are integrated into one.
[0008] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the source water tank is installed on the floating seat with a funnel box body. After the funnel box body receives water, the weight gradually increases. The floating seat is acted upon by gravity, overcoming the tension of the compression spring. The funnel box body and the floating seat gradually move downward. When the water in the funnel box body is about to be full, the distance between the water pump proximity switch and the metal contact controlling the water pump reaches between 0.1 and 0.5 mm. The water pump proximity switch starts the water pump to pump water. When the water in the clean water tank is full, the water pump stops pumping water. When the funnel box body is cleaned, the funnel box body outlet pipe only needs to be pulled out from the silicone tube by hand to clean the funnel box body. After cleaning, the installation is completed by inserting the funnel box body outlet pipe of the funnel box body into the silicone tube by hand. When an accident occurs, water overflows from the funnel box mouth, and the overflowed water flows into the float water tank, and the float floats up. When the distance between the water leakage proximity switch and the water leakage metal contact reaches between 0.1-0.5 mm, the water leakage proximity switch stops the water making chip from making water. The source water tank adopts a funnel box and a funnel box outlet pipe for drainage, which greatly reduces the accumulation of pollutants at the bottom of the source water tank, effectively overcoming the shortcomings of the source water tank being easy to get dirty and smelly, the water being easy to deteriorate, and the need for frequent cleaning; the source water tank adopts a movable connection in which the funnel box outlet pipe is inserted into a silicone tube, and the source water tank is very convenient to install and disassemble, and is very easy to clean. In particular, when cleaning the source water tank, there is no need to disassemble and install related devices, thus avoiding damage to related devices. Installing a sterilization lamp in the funnel box can effectively kill microorganisms and bacteria in the water, which is conducive to the cleanliness of the funnel box.
[0009] Application test of the floating water tank of the air water making machine of the present invention: two air water making machines with the same power, one adopts the original source water tank, and the other adopts the floating water tank of the air water making machine of the present invention, the two air water making machines are at the same location, and a comparative test is carried out at the same time. The test time is 192 days. The air water making machine adopting the original source water tank cleans the source water tank 16 times in total, and cleans the tank once every 12 days on average; the other air water making machine adopting the floating water tank of the air water making machine of the present invention observes the cleanliness of the tank once every 12 days, and cleans it once on the 192th day, and needs to clean the tank once every 192 days on average; for the air water making machine adopting the original source water tank, it takes 30 minutes for a skilled worker to disassemble, clean and install the source water tank once, while for the air water making machine adopting the floating water tank of the air water making machine of the present invention, it only takes 5 minutes for the user to disassemble, clean and install the source water tank once. The water output of the air water generator using the original source water tank is approximately lower than the water output of the air water generator using the floating water tank of the air water generator of the present invention. The main reason is that it takes more time to clean the water tank of the air water generator using the original source water tank.
[0010] Beneficial effects of the present invention: compared with the source water tank used in the original air water making machine, the floating water tank of the air water making machine of the present invention is not easy to get dirty or smelly, and the water quality is not easy to deteriorate. The cleaning cycle of the floating water tank of the air water making machine of the present invention is as high as 192 days, while the cleaning cycle of the source water tank of the original air water making machine is 12 days. The floating water tank of the air water making machine of the present invention is easy to disassemble, clean, install and use, and has promotion value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
