[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 9 , describing an embodiment of the pump installation structure and water outlet device of the present invention.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pump mounting structure is provided, which is applied to a water outlet device. The water outlet device includes a water outlet column 1 and a pump body 2. The pump body 2 is installed in the water outlet column 1 through the pump mounting structure. The pump mounting structure includes: a shock absorber 3 and a first positioning mechanism. The shock absorber 3 is covered on the outside of at least part of the structure of the pump body 2. The shock absorber 3 is connected to the water outlet column 1 through the first positioning mechanism, and the first positioning mechanism positions the shock absorber 3 in a first direction.

[0057] This pump installation structure covers at least part of the pump body 2 with the shock absorber 3 so that the pump body 2 does not directly contact the water outlet column 1. When the water outlet device is adding water, the pump body 2 starts to work, and the vibration of the pump body 2 is absorbed or weakened by the shock absorber 3, which can effectively reduce the vibration and noise brought to other parts by the pump body 2 when working. In addition, the shock absorber 3 is installed and connected with the water outlet column 1 through the first positioning mechanism, and the first positioning mechanism can position the shock absorber 3 in the first direction to realize the installation positioning of the shock absorber 3, so that the position of the shock absorber 3 is firm and reliable.

[0058] The pump installation structure of this embodiment is applied to a water outlet device, such as an electric kettle, which has the functions of automatic water supply, water boiling, heat preservation, tea brewing, etc. The water outlet device includes a kettle body 11, a base 10, a water outlet column 1 and a pump body 2, etc. The kettle body 11 and the water outlet column 1 are arranged on the base 10, and the bottom of the base 10 is suitable for being placed on a platform such as a desktop. The kettle body 11 has a water storage space inside, the pump body 2 is arranged in the water outlet column 1, and a faucet 12 is also arranged on the top of the water outlet column 1, through which water can be added to the kettle body 11. In addition, the faucet 12 can be rotated to adjust the water outlet position of the faucet 12, which is convenient for users to use.

[0059] The pump installation structure is used to install the pump body 2 in the water outlet column 1. In this embodiment, the pump body 2 is specifically a water pump, which can transport water to the faucet 12, and then add water to the kettle body 11. The water outlet column 1 is a columnar structure, and its bottom is connected to the base 10. In this embodiment, the water outlet column 1 is a cylindrical structure, and its axial direction is perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 10. The water outlet column 1 has a certain structural strength, and has a containing space inside, and structural components such as the pump body 2, the water pipe 4, and the wire 5 are arranged in the containing space.

[0060] The pump installation structure includes: a shock absorber 3 and a first positioning mechanism. The shock absorber 3 is used to absorb or reduce the vibration and noise generated by the pump body 2 during operation. The shock absorber 3 is covered on the outside of at least part of the structure of the pump body 2. For example, the shock absorber 3 can cover the outside of the entire structure of the pump body 2, or only cover part of the structure of the pump body 2. When the shock absorber 3 covers the entire structure of the pump body 2, the shock absorption effect is best, but the cost is higher. When the shock absorber 3 only covers part of the structure of the pump body 2, the shock absorption effect and the manufacturing cost can be balanced, so that the shock absorption effect meets the product requirements and a part of the manufacturing cost can be saved.

[0061] The shock absorber 3 can be made of a material with a certain elasticity such as rubber, and there is an installation space inside the shock absorber 3. The shape and size of the installation space match the external shape and size of the pump body 2, so that the pump body 2 can be assembled into the installation space. Optionally, the inner wall of the installation space is attached to the outer wall of the pump body 2, so that the arrangement of the pump body 2 is more stable and the structural reliability is improved.

[0062] The first positioning mechanism is used to realize the installation connection between the shock absorber 3 and the water outlet column 1, and the first positioning mechanism can also position the shock absorber 3 in the first direction (including translation and rotation in the first direction), thereby realizing the installation positioning of the shock absorber 3 and making the position of the shock absorber 3 firm and reliable.

[0063] like Figure 2As shown, the arrow a-a' direction is the first direction, that is, the horizontal direction. The first positioning mechanism can not only connect the shock absorber 3 with the water outlet column 1, but also position the shock absorber 3 in the first direction, so that the shock absorber 3 will not shift or move in the first direction, thereby improving the reliability of the structure.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first positioning mechanism includes a positioning hole 601 and a positioning column 602 that are plugged together, one of the positioning hole 601 and the positioning column 602 is arranged on the shock absorbing member 3, and the other is arranged on the water outlet column 1. This positioning mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to set up. In addition, one of the positioning hole 601 and the positioning column 602 is arranged on the shock absorbing member 3, and the other is arranged on the water outlet column 1, and the structural setting is highly flexible.

[0065] Specifically, the positioning hole 601 is provided in the shock absorbing member 3, and the positioning column 602 is provided in the water outlet column 1. Optionally, the shock absorbing member 3 is integrally formed with the positioning hole 601, and the water outlet column 1 is integrally formed with the positioning column 602 to simplify the processing steps. Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, four positioning columns 602 are arranged at the lower position inside the water outlet column 1, and the positioning columns 602 are located inside the water outlet column 1 as a whole to avoid position interference with structures such as the base 10. The four positioning columns 602 are close to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1 and are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, so that the arrangement of the positioning columns 602 does not occupy too much internal space of the water outlet column 1. The positioning columns 602 are cylindrical structures, which are convenient for processing and manufacturing. A positioning hole 601 is arranged near the outer edge of the shock absorber 3, and the setting position of the positioning hole 601 matches the positioning column 602. The positioning column 602 can be inserted into the positioning hole 601 to achieve the connection between the shock absorber 3 and the water outlet column 1. At the same time, when the positioning column 602 is plugged into the positioning hole 601, in the first direction, the shock absorber 3 and the water outlet column 1 cannot move relative to each other, thereby achieving the limitation of the shock absorber 3 in the first direction.

[0066] Furthermore, the pump installation structure also includes a reinforcing mechanism, which is used to strengthen the structural strength of the positioning column 602. The reinforcing mechanism can strengthen the structural strength of the positioning column 602, making it less prone to damage, making the installation of the shock absorbing member 3 more stable and firm, and improving the reliability of the structure.

[0067] In this embodiment, the positioning column 602 is protruding from the inner wall of the water outlet column 1, and the axial direction of the positioning column 602 is parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet column 1. In order to enhance the structural strength of the positioning column 602, a reinforcing mechanism is provided for the positioning column 602, thereby ensuring the stability of the shock absorber 3.

[0068] Furthermore, the reinforcing mechanism includes a rib plate 7 , one end of which is connected to the outer wall of the positioning column 602 , and the other end of which is connected to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1 .

[0069] like Figure 5-Figure 6As shown, specifically, the reinforcing mechanism includes a rib plate 7, which is a plate-like structure as a whole. In a first direction, that is, in a horizontal direction, one end of the rib plate 7 is connected to the outer wall of the positioning column 602, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1, so as to strengthen the structural strength of the positioning column 602 with the help of the inner wall of the water outlet column 1.

[0070] In addition, a support plate 101 is provided on the inner wall of the water outlet column 1. The support plate 101 is provided along the circumference of the inner wall of the water outlet column 1. The width of the support plate 101 is relatively narrow to avoid affecting other structural components in the water outlet column 1. The end of the positioning column 602 away from the shock absorber 3 is connected to the support plate 101 to improve the structural strength of the positioning column 602. Optionally, the end of the rib plate 7 away from the shock absorber 3 is also connected to the support plate 101 to further strengthen the structural strength of the positioning column 602.

[0071] Furthermore, the positioning column 602 is connected to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1 through at least two rib plates 7 .

[0072] The number of ribs 7 in the reinforcing mechanism can be two, three, four, etc. As long as there is sufficient space, increasing the number of ribs 7 can achieve a better reinforcement effect on the positioning column 602 and increase the structural strength of the positioning column 602.

[0073] In this embodiment, a rib plate 7 is provided on each side of the positioning column 602 , that is, the positioning column 602 is connected to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1 through two rib plates 7 to reinforce both sides of the positioning column 602 and improve the reinforcement effect of the positioning column 602 .

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, the two rib plates 7 are arranged at an angle, which can be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. The two rib plates 7 cooperate with the inner wall of the water outlet column 1 to form a relatively stable reinforcement structure.

[0075] Furthermore, the two ribs 7 are symmetrically arranged relative to the cross section of the positioning column 602 along the length direction.

[0076] In this embodiment, the two ribs 7 are symmetrically arranged relative to the cross section of the positioning column 602 along the length direction (axial direction), which can support the positioning column 602 more evenly, making the structural strength of the positioning column 602 more balanced and stable.

[0077] According to different setting spaces, the rib plate 7 may have a certain thickness, and the rib plate 7 may be integrally formed with the positioning column 602 , as long as the rib plate 7 can support the positioning column 602 and ensure the structural strength of the positioning column 602 .

[0078] Furthermore, the pump installation structure also includes a second positioning mechanism, which positions the shock absorbing member 3 in a second direction, and the second direction is arranged at an angle to the first direction.

[0079] In order to further position the shock absorbing member 3 and prevent the shock absorbing member 3 from shifting or moving, the pump mounting structure further includes a second positioning mechanism, which can position the shock absorbing member 3 in a second direction. The second direction is set at an angle to the first direction, which means that the first direction and the second direction are not parallel, and the angle between the second direction and the first direction is any angle not equal to 0° and 180°, such as 60°, 90°, 150°, etc.

[0080] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, arrow bb' is the second direction, that is, the vertical direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. By setting the first positioning mechanism and the second positioning mechanism, the shock absorber 3 can be limited in both the first direction and the second direction, making the position of the shock absorber 3 more stable and improving the reliability of the structure.

[0081] Furthermore, the second positioning mechanism includes a positioning end 701 and a positioning frame 8, the positioning end 701 is one end of the rib plate 7 in the second direction, the positioning frame 8 is fixed relative to the water outlet column 1, and at least part of the structure of the shock absorber 3 is clamped between the positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8.

[0082] The second positioning mechanism includes a positioning end 701 and a positioning frame 8, and the positioning end 701 is a part of the rib plate 7, thereby fully utilizing the structure. The positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8 jointly clamp at least part of the structure of the shock absorber 3 to limit the shock absorber 3 in the second direction. This second positioning mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to set up and install, which is beneficial to reducing product costs.

[0083] In this embodiment, the positioning end 701 is one end of the rib plate 7 in the second direction, that is, the end of the rib plate 7 close to the shock absorber 3, and the positioning frame 8 is fixed relative to the water outlet column 1 to achieve that the positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8 jointly clamp at least part of the structure of the shock absorber 3.

[0084] Furthermore, a flange 301 is provided at the lower portion of the shock absorbing member 3 , and the flange 301 is sandwiched between the positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8 .

[0085] like Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the shock absorbing member 3 is a cylindrical structure, and the shock absorbing member 3 includes a body 302 and a flange 301. Figure 7 Taking the perspective as an example, the body 302 is arranged at the upper part of the shock absorber 3, the flange 301 is arranged at the lower part of the shock absorber 3, and the outer dimension of the flange 301 is larger than the outer dimension of the body 302, so as to facilitate the connection between the shock absorber 3 and the water outlet column 1. The body 302 has an installation space inside, the lower part of the pump body 2 is arranged in the installation space, and the upper part of the pump body 2 is placed above the shock absorber 3.

[0086] by Figure 4Taking the perspective as an example, the rib plate 7 is arranged above the flange 301, the positioning frame 8 is arranged below the flange 301, and the positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8 clamp the flange 301 together to reliably position the shock absorber 3 in the second direction.

[0087] Optionally, an assembly hole is formed inside the positioning column 602, and an internal thread can be formed inside the assembly hole. After the positioning hole 601 is plugged into the positioning column 602, a fastener (such as a bolt, a gasket, etc.) can be used to tighten the assembly hole to improve the connection firmness. At the same time, the fastener and the assembly hole can also be used to position the shock absorber 3 in the second direction.

[0088] In addition, a water pipe 4 and several wires 5 are arranged in the water outlet column 1, one end of the water pipe 4 is connected to the pump body 2, and the other end is connected to the faucet 12 to realize water delivery. A motor is also arranged in the water outlet column 1, and the wires 5 are power supply wires and signal transmission wires for electric control devices such as the motor and the pump body.

[0089] The pump installation structure of this embodiment also includes a limiting structure, which is arranged on the shock absorbing member 3. The limiting structure is used to limit the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 in the water outlet column 1, thereby reducing the wear of the insulation layer of the water pipe 4 and the electric wire during the rotation of the faucet 12, thereby ensuring the safe use of the water outlet device.

[0090] The limiting structure is integrated on the shock absorbing member 3, so that the shock absorbing member 3 not only has a shock absorbing effect on the pump body 2, but also has a limiting effect on the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5, so that the internal structure of the water outlet column 1 is more optimized. According to different setting requirements, the limiting structure can only limit the water pipe 4, or only limit the electric wire 5, or limit the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5 at the same time. In this embodiment, the limiting structure limits the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5 at the same time.

[0091] Furthermore, the shock absorbing member 3 is arranged close to the lead-out position of the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 .

[0092] Since the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 tend to move more greatly at the lead-out position, setting the shock absorber 3 close to the lead-out position of the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 can make the limiting structure close to the position where the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5 move more greatly, thereby limiting the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5 more effectively and improving the limiting effect.

[0093] like Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, in the present embodiment, the pump body 2 is arranged at the lower part of the water outlet column 1, the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5 are both led out from the bottom of the water outlet column 1, and the shock absorber 3 is coated on the lower part of the pump body 2, which can absorb or reduce the vibration of the pump body 2 and the noise generated, and save part of the manufacturing cost at the same time. Moreover, the shock absorber 3 is placed close to the lead-out position of the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5, so as to facilitate the setting of a limiting structure to limit the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5, thereby improving the limiting effect and facilitating the structural connection and layout.

[0094] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a first through hole 901 and / or a second through hole 902 . The first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902 are arranged on the flange 301 . The water pipe 4 is suitable for passing through the first through hole 901 , and the wire 5 is suitable for passing through the second through hole 902 .

[0095] The limiting structure includes a first through hole 901 and / or a second through hole 902. The first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902 are arranged on the flange 301. The water pipe 4 is suitable for passing through the first through hole 901, and the wire 5 is suitable for passing through the second through hole 902, so as to limit the water pipe 4 and the wire 5. This limiting structure is relatively simple and has a good limiting effect.

[0096] According to different setting requirements, the limiting structure may include only the first through hole 901, or only the second through hole 902, or both the first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902.

[0097] In this embodiment, the flange 301 is formed with a first through hole 901 and a second through hole 902. The water pipe 4 is suitable for passing through the first through hole 901 to realize the lead-out of the water pipe 4, and the wire 5 is suitable for passing through the second through hole 902 to realize the lead-out of the wire 5. The specific sizes of the first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902 are not limited. Optionally, the area size of the first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902 should provide a certain moving space for the water pipe 4 and the wire 5 to avoid the water pipe 4 and the wire 5 being stuck and causing wear when the faucet 12 is turned.

[0098] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment also provides a water outlet device, including a water outlet column 1, a pump body 2 and a base 10. The water outlet column 1 is arranged on the base 10, and the pump body 2 is installed in the water outlet column 1 through the above-mentioned pump installation structure.

[0099] In this water outlet device, when water needs to be added, the pump body 2 starts to work, and the vibration of the pump body 2 will be absorbed or weakened by the shock absorber 3, and the pump body 2 will not contact the inner wall of the water outlet column 1, effectively reducing the vibration and noise brought to other parts by the pump body 2 when working. In addition, by setting a limiting structure, the water pipe 4 and / or the wire 5 in the water outlet column 1 can be limited to avoid excessive movement of the water pipe 4 and / or the wire 5, thereby reducing the friction between the water pipe 4 and / or the wire 5 and the outer wall of the pump body 2, making the water pipe 4 and / or the wire 5 not easy to wear, ensuring safety in use, and ensuring the service life of the water outlet device.

[0100] In the present embodiment, the water outlet device is specifically an electric kettle. The water outlet device also includes a kettle body 11, which is arranged on the base 10. The top of the kettle body 11 has an opening, and the opening is detachably covered with a cover body. The water outlet column 1 is arranged near the edge of the base 10, and the pump body 2 is arranged in the water outlet column 1. A faucet 12 is arranged on the top of the water outlet column 1. The faucet 12 can be rotated so that the water outlet position is aligned with the top opening of the kettle body 11 to realize the water adding process. A control circuit board is also arranged inside the base 10. The control circuit board is used to control the operation of the pump body 2 and the motor, and the wire 5 is electrically connected to the control circuit board. Of course, the water outlet device also includes other structures and components that the existing water outlet devices have, which will not be repeated here.

[0101] Furthermore, the positioning frame 8 of the second positioning mechanism in the pump installation structure is fixed to the base 10 .

[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning frame 8 is also called a panel bracket. A portion of the positioning frame 8 is placed in the base 10, and the other portion extends into the water outlet column 1. The water outlet column 1 is set on the base 10. The positioning frame 8 is fixed to the base 10, so that the positioning frame 8 is fixed relative to the water outlet column 1. The positioning frame 8 can cooperate with the positioning end 701 to reliably position the shock absorber 3 in the second direction.

[0103] The installation process of the pump body 2 of the water outlet device of this embodiment is described below:

[0104] First, wrap the shock absorber 3 around the outside of the lower structure of the pump body 2, align the positioning hole 601 on the shock absorber 3 and insert it into the positioning column 602 in the water outlet column 1 until the shock absorber 3 abuts against the positioning end 701, and assemble the water outlet column 1 on the base 10, so that the side of the shock absorber 3 away from the positioning end 701 abuts against the positioning frame 8, and the flange 301 of the shock absorber 3 is clamped between the positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8, thereby completing the installation of the pump body 2.

[0105] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
