The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0070] The present embodiment provides a water-vapor separation box, which is matched with a water dispenser and used for guiding the water heated by a heating pipe 400 out of the water dispenser for a user to take. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 The water-vapor separation box includes a box body 100, a water inlet pipe 300 and a water outlet pipe 200. The box body 100 has an inner chamber 101. The top surface of the box body 100 is provided with an exhaust port 102 communicating with the inner chamber 101. The bottom surface of the box body 100 is provided with a water inlet port 103 and a water outlet port communicating with the inner chamber 101 at opposite ends thereof, respectively. The water inlet pipe 300 communicates with the water inlet port 103, and the water outlet pipe 200 communicates with the water outlet port.

[0071] The box body 100 is provided with a gathering structure for gathering water entering the inner chamber 101 from the water inlet pipe 300 on the side away from the water outlet; the water outlet includes a first water outlet 104 and a second water outlet 105, the water outlet pipe 200 includes a first flow channel communicating with the first water outlet 104 and a second flow channel communicating with the second water outlet 105, the first flow channel and the second flow channel communicate before the outlet of the water outlet pipe 200; the water gathered by the gathering structure can flow out through the first flow channel or flow into the first flow channel and the second flow channel respectively and then flow out after converging before the outlet of the water outlet pipe 200. Specifically, a first baffle 106 is arranged between the first water outlet 104 and the second water outlet 105, and the first baffle 106 is higher than the first water outlet 104; when the water level in the inner chamber 101 is not higher than the first baffle 106, the water flows out from the first water outlet 104; when the water level in the inner chamber 101 is higher than the first baffle 106, the water flows out from the first water outlet 104 and the second water outlet 105 at the same time.

[0072] When the user takes hot water, the water in the heating pipe 400 enters the water-vapor separation box upward, the water flow enters the inner chamber 101 and is gathered on the side of the inner chamber 101 away from the water outlet under the action of the gathering structure, and then flows out to the water outlet, and at the same time, the water vapor moves upward and is discharged from the exhaust port 102 at the top of the box body 100. When the water flow is small, for example, when the user takes high-temperature water, the water level in the inner chamber 101 does not exceed the first baffle 106, and the water flow flows out from the first water outlet 104 through the first flow channel; when the water flow is large, for example, when the user takes warm water or normal-temperature water, the water level in the inner chamber 101 exceeds the first baffle 106, and the water flow flows out from the second water outlet 105 through the second flow channel in addition to flowing out from the first water outlet 104 through the first flow channel, and since the outlet of the first flow channel is arranged inside the second flow channel, the water flow from the first flow channel will converge with the water flow from the second flow channel before flowing out, and from the perspective of the user, it is a water flow that flows out, and there is no bifurcated water flow, and the water shape is good. The arrangement of the gathering structure increases the length of the water flow from the water inlet to the water outlet, facilitates gas-liquid separation, and forms a stable water flow after converging at the water outlet. The gathering structure can gather small-flow water flow and then discharge it, avoiding the situation that the water flow is intermittent when the water flow is small, ensuring continuous and stable water flow, and being beneficial to improving user experience.

[0073] See Figure 5The water outlet pipe 200 can include an outer pipe 201 and an inner pipe 202. The outer pipe 201 has a sewage passage 203 and a buffer cavity 204. The inner pipe 202 is arranged in the sewage passage 203. An inlet of the inner pipe 202 is communicated with the first water outlet 104. An outlet of the inner pipe 202 extends to a position near an outlet of the sewage passage 203. There is a flow gap 205 between an outer wall of the inner pipe 202 and an inner wall of the sewage passage 203. The buffer cavity 204 is communicated with the second water outlet 105 and the flow gap 205. The inner pipe 202 defines a first flow channel. The buffer cavity 204 and the flow gap 205 constitute a second flow channel. The outlet of the inner pipe 202 is located in the sewage passage 203. The distance between the outlet of the inner pipe 202 and the outlet of the sewage passage 203 is not greater than 0.5 mm. By arranging the outlet of the inner pipe 202 in the sewage passage 203, the water flows from the first flow channel and the second flow channel can be merged before being discharged from the outlet of the sewage passage 203, thereby ensuring the water shape is beautiful. By reducing the distance between the outlet of the inner pipe 202 and the outlet of the sewage passage 203, the water flow from the inner pipe 202 can avoid splashing and bifurcated flow caused by hitting the inner wall of the outer pipe 201.

[0074] Specifically, the first baffle 106 has a rear blocking part 107 near the second water outlet 105. The rear blocking part 107 is located above the buffer cavity 204 or enters the buffer cavity 204. A second baffle 206 is arranged between the sewage passage 203 and the buffer cavity 204. A flow port 207 is formed between the rear blocking part 107 and the second baffle 206. The water in the buffer cavity 204 can pass the second baffle 206 through the flow port 207 and enter the flow gap 205.

[0075] A limiting structure is arranged on the inner wall of the outer pipe 201. The limiting structure positions the lower part of the inner pipe 202 at the center position of the cross section of the sewage passage 203. In one possible implementation, the limiting structure can include a step arranged on the inner wall of the outer pipe 201. The step supports the lower end of the inner pipe 202. There is a flow gap between the step and the inner pipe 202. The water passing the second baffle 206 can be merged with the water flowing from the inner pipe 202 through the flow gap. Figures 5-6 In another possible implementation, as shown in FIG. 6, the limiting structure can include a plurality of limiting ribs 208 arranged on the inner wall of the outer pipe 201 at intervals. Each limiting rib 208 is distributed along the long axis of the outer pipe 201. Adjacent limiting ribs 208 form a flow channel. The limiting ribs 208 abut the outer wall of the inner pipe 202. The water passing the second baffle 206 can be merged with the water flowing from the inner pipe 202 through the flow channel.

[0076] Please continue to see Figure 5, the lowest water level at the highest position of the inner tube 202 is the first critical water level 209, and the highest water level at the highest position of the inner tube 202 is the second critical water level 210. The first critical water level 209 is higher than the first water outlet 104, and the highest position of the first baffle 106 is higher than the second critical water level 210. Since the higher the temperature of the water taken by the water dispenser, the smaller the instantaneous water quantity heated by the heating pipe 400, and the water path cannot be continuously smooth when the water is discharged, the water dispenser will appear to be intermittent when taking high-temperature water, and the water shape will be unstable. In order to solve this phenomenon, the embodiment constructs the necessary structure condition of siphon away, and uses the siphon principle to help continuous water discharge. Figure 5 When the water level at the first water outlet 104 is higher than the first critical water level 209, a pressure difference is formed between the first water outlet 104 and the first critical water level 209, which can make the water flow at the first outlet continuously flow downward to form continuous water discharge.

[0077] Please continue to see Figure 5 The first flow channel is provided with a first water storage area 211, and the second flow channel is provided with a second water storage area 212. When the inner chamber 101 stops water supply to the first flow channel, the first water storage area 211 is filled with water to block external air from entering the inner chamber 101 from the first flow channel. When the inner chamber 101 stops water supply to the second flow channel, the second water storage area 212 is filled with water to block external air from entering the inner chamber 101 from the second flow channel. Among them, the pipe section between the inlet of the inner tube 202 and the first critical water level 209 constitutes the first water storage area 211. The buffer cavity 204 constitutes the second water storage area 212, and the highest liquid level of the buffer cavity 204 is equal to or higher than the lower end surface of the rear blocking part 107. In this way, when the buffer cavity 204 is full of water, there is no gap between the rear blocking part 107 and the water in the buffer cavity 204, which can prevent external air from entering the inner chamber 101, inhibit the breeding of bacteria in the inner chamber 101, and make the water vapor separation box discharge cleaner and more sanitary.

[0078] In a possible implementation, the inner tube 202 includes a water inlet section 213 and a water outlet section 214, the inlet of the water inlet section 213 is communicated with the first water outlet 104, the outlet of the water inlet section 213 is communicated with the inlet of the water outlet section 214, the outlet of the water outlet section 214 is located near the outlet of the drain passage 203, and the first critical water level 209 is located on the water inlet section 213. Among them, the water inlet section 213 of the inner tube 202 is provided with a flow guide passage 215 and an exhaust passage 216, the flow guide passage 215 is communicated with the first water outlet 104 and the water outlet section 214, and the exhaust passage 216 is communicated with the flow guide passage 215 and the drain passage 203. The water inlet section 213 can be an elbow pipe, and the water outlet section 214 can be a straight pipe or an elbow pipe. As Figure 5As shown, the water inlet section 213 is an S-shaped bend pipe, and the water outlet section 214 is a straight pipe. The water inlet section 213 is horizontally arranged at the upper end of the outer pipe 201, and the water outlet section 214 is vertically arranged in the outer pipe 201 and positioned at the center of the cross section of the water outlet passage 203 by the limiting rib 208. The outlet of the water inlet section 213 is internally threaded, the inlet of the water outlet section 214 is externally threaded, and the water inlet section 213 is threadedly connected with the water outlet section 214. Of course, the water inlet section 213 and the water outlet section 214 can be separately formed and then connected, or directly integrally formed.

[0079] Please continue to see Figure 3 、 Figure 5 The first water outlet 104 is provided with a water guide pipe 108 protruding outwardly from the box body 100. The air exhaust passage 216 is consistent with the flow guide passage 215 in terms of direction. The water guide pipe 108 is in interference fit with the inner wall of the inlet end of the flow guide passage 215. The outlet end of the flow guide passage 215 is connected with the water outlet section 214 of the inner pipe 202. The inlet and outlet of the air exhaust passage 216 are communicated with the water outlet passage 203. The inlet of the air exhaust passage 216 is higher than the lower end surface of the water guide pipe 108, and the outlet of the air exhaust passage 216 is lower than the inlet of the water outlet section 214.

[0080] The water inlet section 213 of the inner pipe 202 can be integrally formed or composed of two separate parts. When the water inlet section 213 is a separate part, it is convenient for production and installation. When the water inlet section 213 is composed of two parts, a gap 223 can be arranged on the flow channel, so that gas can be exhausted from the gap 223 when liquid flows through the flow channel, and the gas can be easily exhausted from the outlet of the water outlet passage 203.

[0081] In the structure shown in Figures 8-10 The water inlet section 213 is composed of a first half pipe 217 and a second half pipe 218. The first half pipe 217 is provided with a first flow guide groove 219 and a gas guide groove 220. The second half pipe 218 is provided with a second flow guide groove 221 and a flow guide rib 222. The flow guide rib 222 enters the gas guide groove 220 and is in sealing connection with the gas guide groove 220. The first flow guide groove 219 and the second flow guide groove 221 form the flow guide passage 215. The water inlet section 213 further includes a gap 223, which is communicated with the flow guide passage 215. When water passes through the flow guide passage 215, gas is expelled into the gap 223 and is exhausted through the gap opening at the bottom of the water inlet section 213. The gap 223 constitutes the air exhaust passage 216. The gap 223 is formed by the butt joint of the first half pipe 217 and the second half pipe 218.

[0082] The gap 223 is arranged along the flow channel 215 and extends from the inlet side to the outlet side of the flow channel 215, and the gap 223 is open at both the inlet side and the outlet side of the flow channel 215. When the water inlet section 213 is connected to the water guide pipe 108 and the water outlet section 214, at least one of the gap openings at the inlet side and the outlet side of the flow channel 215 is not blocked, so that the gas can be discharged from the gap opening via the gap 223. In one possible implementation, as shown in Figure 5 the gap opening at the outlet side of the flow channel 215 is not blocked, and the gas can be discharged from the gap opening at the outlet side of the flow channel 215.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 3 The inner chamber 101 is provided with a water collecting area 109 on the side away from the water outlet, and the water inlet 103 is located between the water collecting area 109 and the water outlet. The gathering structure is in abutment with the water inlet 103 and is used to gather the water delivered by the water inlet pipe 300 in the water collecting area 109. The gathering structure includes a water blocking portion and a water guiding portion. The water blocking portion is located between the water inlet 103 and the water outlet and is used to prevent the water delivered by the water inlet pipe 300 from directly flowing to the water outlet. The water guiding portion is arranged between the water collecting area 109 and the water blocking portion and is used to guide the water delivered by the water inlet pipe 300 to the water collecting area 109. The water blocking portion can prevent water splashing, so as to avoid that the water flow discontinuously flows to the water outlet before being gathered, thereby causing discontinuous water outlet. The water guiding portion causes the water to gather in a place first and then flow downward, so that the water flow is gathered and the water amount is large, and the siphon effect is easy to form, thereby forming a continuous water flow.

[0084] Please refer to Figures 1-2 The box body 100 includes a lower box body 110 and an upper box cover 111. The upper box cover 111 is arranged on the top opening of the lower box body 110. The water inlet 103 and the water outlet are arranged on the bottom surface of the lower box body 110, and the exhaust port 102 is arranged on the upper box cover 111. A large amount of steam is generated when water is heated. In the existing water-steam separation box, due to some defects in water-steam separation, the water and the steam flow out of the water outlet together, causing the steam spraying phenomenon. In order to improve this defect, the water-steam separation box is provided with the exhaust port 102 and the gathering structure on the upper part. The high-temperature water collides with the gathering structure during the process of flowing to the inner chamber 101 and is scattered, so as to facilitate gas-liquid separation. The separated steam moves to the upper part of the inner chamber 101 due to the low density and is discharged from the exhaust port 102 on the upper part. Meanwhile, by increasing the space of the chamber, the air pressure in the inner chamber 101 is reduced, so as to avoid that the steam flows downward together with the water flow.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the converging structure includes an overflow sleeve disposed on the lower housing 110 or the upper housing cover 111. The overflow sleeve protrudes into the inner cavity 101 and connects with the inlet 103. The overflow sleeve has a front wall near the water collection area 109 and a rear wall near the water outlet. The front wall has a water guiding part, and the rear wall forms a water blocking part, which is higher than the water guiding part. The water guiding part can be a hole or notch on the front wall. Taking the overflow sleeve disposed on the lower housing 110 as an example, the lower end of the overflow pipe is connected to the water inlet 103, and the upper end face of the overflow pipe slopes downward from the side near the water outlet to the side near the water collection area 109, so that there is a gap between the front wall of the overflow pipe and the upper housing cover 111, and the rear wall of the overflow pipe is higher than the front wall. Water entering from the water inlet 103 is blocked by the rear wall of the overflow pipe and will not flow directly to the water outlet, but will flow over the lower front wall to the water collection area 109.

[0086] In another possible implementation, the converging structure includes a sleeve 112 on the lower housing 110 and a stop 113 on the upper housing cover 111. The sleeve 112 is located at the water inlet 103, with its lower end connected to the water inlet pipe 300 and its upper end entering the stop 113. The side of the sleeve 112 near the water outlet is in close contact with the side of the stop 113 near the water outlet to form a water-blocking part. The side of the stop 113 near the water collection area 109 is offset from the side of the sleeve 112 near the water collection area 109 to form a notch 114. The sleeve 112 connects to the water collection area 109 through the notch 114, which forms a water-guiding part. The stop 113 can be a hollow tube or a partition that cooperates with the side wall of the lower housing 110.

[0087] like Figure 4 As shown, the outlet is located at the lowest point of the inner chamber 101. The bottom surface of the inner chamber 101, i.e., the inner bottom surface of the lower box 110, slopes from the water collection area 109 towards the outlet. The inlet 103 is higher than the outlet, creating a slope and drop between the inlet 103 and the outlet, increasing the water flow potential energy and causing the water to flow automatically towards the outlet, while also preventing water accumulation in the inner chamber 101. The second outlet 105 is located at the end of the bottom surface of the box 100 away from the inlet 103, and the first outlet 104 is located between the second outlet 105 and the inlet 103. Figure 4 In the structure shown, the first outlet 104 and the second outlet 105 are on the same water level. However, in other embodiments, since the water flow will automatically flow downward after passing over the first baffle 106, the second outlet 105 only needs to be lower than the highest position of the first baffle 106.

[0088] In order to further increase the effect of water flow convergence, control the speed and direction of water flow, the bottom surface of the inner chamber 101 is also provided with a water guide groove 115 and two retaining walls 116. The water guide groove 115 is inclined from the water collecting area 109 to the water outlet, and the first water outlet 104 is located on the water guide groove 115, so that the water flowing out of the water collecting area 109 can directly enter the first water outlet 104 along the water guide groove 115. Specifically, the cross section of the water guide groove 115 can be V-shaped or U-shaped. The two retaining walls 116 are symmetrical along the water guide groove 115, and the distance between the two retaining walls 116 gradually decreases from the water inlet 103 to the water outlet; the retaining wall 116 narrows the water flow channel, which is beneficial to accelerate the water flow speed and form a fixed and smooth water path. Please see Figure 6 , one end of the two retaining walls 116 near the water inlet 103 is connected to the two side walls of the lower box body 110, respectively, for converging the water flowing out of the water collecting area 109 in the area between the two retaining walls 116. Near the first water outlet 104, a triangular area is formed between the two retaining walls 116, the first baffle 106 and the inclined bottom surface of the inner chamber 101, which plays a role in converging water flow. The water level at the first water outlet 104 rises rapidly, which can quickly form the required liquid level difference for siphon, so that the water outlet of the inner tube 202 is continuous and smooth. Please see Figure 6 , the first water outlet 104 is also provided with a cross rib 117 extending along the water guide groove 115, which cuts off the water flow and prevents the water flow from forming a vortex in the triangular area.

[0089] The embodiment provides a water dispenser, please see Figure 12 , the water dispenser comprises a heating pipe 400 and a water vapor separation box, and the heating pipe 400 is connected to the water inlet 103 of the water vapor separation box through a sealing ring. The specific structure of the water vapor separation box is described in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here. Different from the structure of using a silica gel hose to connect the heating pipe 400 and the water vapor separation box in the past, in the embodiment, the water boiled by the heating pipe 400 directly flows into the inner chamber 101 of the water vapor separation box, so that the water outlet temperature is not lower than 98℃, which can meet the demand of users for high-temperature water.

[0090] When the user takes high-temperature water, the water is boiled in the heating pipe 400, and the boiling water will directly splash from the heating pipe 400 into the water-vapor separation box. At the same time, due to the small amount of water heated by the heating pipe 400 at the moment, the water will appear discontinuous and unstable. To solve these problems, the structure of the water-vapor separation box at the water inlet side, the water outlet side, and between the water inlet side and the water outlet side is improved to ensure continuous and stable water outlet. Specifically, (1) a converging structure is designed at the water inlet 103 of the water-vapor separation box, which provides a flow channel for the boiling water to flow up and further converges the boiling water in the water collection area 109 to form a converging water flow, avoiding the boiling water directly splashing into the water-vapor separation box and dispersing to the water outlet, which leads to discontinuous water outlet. (2) The first critical water level 209 of the inner pipe 202 is higher than the first water outlet 104, which constructs the required condition of siphon, and uses the siphon principle to continuously discharge the water in the inner chamber 101, even when taking 98℃ high-temperature water, continuous water outlet can be formed. (3) A slope is arranged between the water inlet 103 and the water outlet of the inner chamber 101, two retaining walls 116 are designed in the cavity to control the direction of water flow, narrow the water flow channel, and accelerate the water flow speed, which is beneficial to form a fixed and smooth waterway.

[0091] When the water taking is finished, the heating pipe 400 stops working, and the water cannot fill the entire water outlet pipe 200, and the siphon effect no longer occurs. At this time, the first water storage area 211 and the second water storage area 212 in the water outlet pipe 200 will have a small amount of water that cannot flow out. The water in the first water storage area 211 blocks the air from entering the inner chamber 101 from the first flow channel, and the water in the second water storage area 212 blocks the air from entering the inner chamber 101 from the second flow channel. The channel between the water outlet pipe 200 and the inner chamber 101 is blocked by water, thereby inhibiting the growth of bacteria and making the water outlet of the water-vapor separation box cleaner and healthier.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions without departing from the scope of the present application.
