[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1 A water supply device provided by the present application shown includes a water pipe 100, the water pipe 100 includes a water inlet end 11 and a water outlet end 12, the water pipe 100 includes a main water channel and a water branch, the water branch is connected to a temperature control component and / or a water storage container, and the water pipe 100 forms a sterilization water channel for sterilization water to flow; the water pipe 100 is provided with a sterilization water channel interface, the sterilization water channel interface is arranged on the main water channel or the water channel branch, the sterilization water flows into the main water channel or the water channel branch through the sterilization water channel interface to sterilize the main water channel or the water channel branch; the sterilization water channel at least includes the main water channel and / or the water channel branch.

[0026] It should be noted that the sterilization water body is used to sterilize the sterilization waterway. In actual use, it can be formed by heating drinking water. The sterilization water body has a sterilization temperature, and the pipes along the sterilization waterway are sterilized by high-temperature sterilization.

[0027] According to the above structural description, the temperature control component or water storage container can heat drinking water to form a sterilizing water body. The sterilizing water body flows into the main water channel through the sterilizing water channel interface and then into the water channel branch, or flows into the water channel branch through the sterilizing water channel interface and then into the main water channel, or flows into the water channel branch and the main water channel at the same time. In the process of flowing along the main water channel and the water channel branch, the sterilizing water body can sterilize the pipes it flows through. The sterilization range is comprehensive, thereby ensuring healthy drinking water.

[0028] The following will introduce the technical details of each component one by one.

[0029] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the water supply device provided by the present application also includes a sterilization component, the water channel branch includes a first branch 13, the sterilization component is connected to the main water channel through the first branch 13, and the interface between the sterilization component and the first branch 13 is a sterilization water channel interface. Drinking water flows through the sterilization component to be heated to become a sterilization water body, and the sterilization water body then flows into the main water channel along the first branch 13; through the above process, the pipelines along the first branch 13 and the main water channel can be sterilized.

[0030] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the first branch 13 includes an inflow pipe 131 and an outflow pipe 132, and the inflow pipe 131 and the outflow pipe 132 are connected to the main waterway between the water inlet end 11 and the water outlet end 12. Drinking water can flow in from the water inlet end 11, and then flow into the sterilization component through the inflow pipe 131. After the sterilization component heats the drinking water into sterilization water, the sterilization water flows into the main waterway through the outflow pipe 132 to sterilize the main waterway.

[0031] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the sterilization component includes a heater for raising the water flow temperature to a preset temperature range, and the preset temperature can effectively kill bacteria. When drinking water flows through the sterilization component, the heater inside the sterilization component can heat the drinking water flowing through it, so that the drinking water can be heated to the sterilization temperature (i.e., the preset temperature range) after passing through the sterilization component. When the sterilization water body with the sterilization temperature flows through each pipeline, each pipeline can be sterilized at high temperature.

[0032] In some embodiments, the water supply device provided in the present application includes a temperature control component 200, the temperature control component 200 includes a heating component 21 and / or a cooling component 22, the heating component 21 is provided with a heating pipeline 01, the cooling component 22 is provided with a cooling pipeline 02, the sterilization water circuit also includes at least a heating pipeline 01 and / or a cooling pipeline 02, and the water circuit branch includes a heating pipeline 01 and / or a cooling pipeline 02.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the temperature control component 200 includes a heating component 21 and a cooling component 22. When the sterilizing water flows along the sterilizing water path, the pipes for producing hot water and cold water inside the water dispenser can be sterilized.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, a heating device 211 is arranged along the heating pipeline 01, and the heating device 211 is connected to the water pipe 100 through a heating water inlet pipe 212 and a heating water outlet pipe 213. The heating water inlet pipe 212 is connected to the water inlet end 11, and the heating water inlet pipe 212, the heating water outlet pipe 213, and the pipes from the heating water inlet pipe 212 to the heating water outlet pipe 213 are connected to form the heating pipeline 01. In actual use, drinking water flows into the heating water inlet pipe 212 through the water inlet end 11, and flows into the heating device 211 through the heating water inlet pipe 212 for heating, and the drinking water heated by the heating device 211 flows into the water pipe 100 through the heating water outlet pipe 213.

[0035] Since drinking water can be heated by the heating component 21, in some embodiments, the heating component 21 can heat drinking water to form a sterilizing water body, and then the interface between the heating component 21 and the heating pipeline 01 is the sterilizing water interface. The sterilizing water body heated by the heating component 21 flows into the water pipe 100 through the heating pipeline 01 to sterilize the water pipe 100.

[0036] According to the above process, it can be understood that the drinking water is at room temperature in the water path where the drinking water flows from the water inlet end 11 into the heating device 211, which makes it easy for bacteria to grow in the pipes in the water path where the drinking water flows from the water inlet end 11 into the heating device 211. Since the heating water inlet pipe 212 is connected to the water inlet end 11, the water path where the drinking water flows from the water inlet end 11 into the heating device 211 is the pipe of the heating water inlet pipe 212. According to the above description, the sterilization water path inside the water dispenser provided by the present application includes the pipe of the heating water inlet pipe 212, which can sterilize the pipe of the water path where the drinking water flows from the water inlet end 11 into the heating device 211, so that the sterilization range of the internal pipes of the drinking water dispenser is more extensive and comprehensive. The working principle of sterilizing the water path (i.e., the heating water inlet pipe 212) where the drinking water flows from the water inlet end 11 into the heating device 211 is as follows:

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the heating water outlet pipe 213 is connected to the heating water inlet pipe 212 through the water pipe 100 to form a circulation pipeline, and the sterilization water circuit also includes at least a circulation pipeline; a circulation pump 400 is arranged along the circulation pipeline, and the circulation pump 400 is arranged in the heating water inlet pipe 212 or the heating water outlet pipe 213 or the water pipe 100. It is understandable that the heating device 211 can heat drinking water to form a high-temperature sterilizing water body. When the heating device 211 heats drinking water to form a sterilizing water body, it flows into the water pipe 100 through the heating outlet pipe 213. Since the heating outlet pipe 213 is connected to the heating inlet pipe 212 through the water pipe 100, drinking water flows into the heating inlet pipe 212 from the water inlet end 11, and flows into the water pipe 100 after being heated by the heating device 211 to form a sterilizing water body. It can re-enter the heating inlet pipe 212 from the water inlet end 11 of the water pipe 100, forming a water path that can circulate under the action of the circulation pump 400, that is, the above-mentioned circulation pipeline. When the sterilizing water flows in the circulation pipeline, it will pass through the water inlet end 11 and the water path (that is, the heating inlet pipe 212) that flows from the water inlet end 11 into the heating device 211 for sterilization.

[0038] It can be understood that when the sterilizing water flows along the circulation pipeline under the action of the circulation pump 400, it will repeatedly flow through the heating device 211, so the heating device 211 can circulate and heat the drinking water so that the temperature of the drinking water can fully reach the predetermined sterilization temperature (the temperature that can kill bacteria), which is conducive to more complete sterilization of the pipeline.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, a refrigeration device 221 is arranged along the refrigeration pipeline 02, and the refrigeration device 221 is connected to the water pipe 100 through the refrigeration water inlet pipe 222 and the refrigeration water outlet pipe 223. The refrigeration water inlet pipe 222 is connected to the heating water outlet pipe 213 through the water pipe 100. The refrigeration water inlet pipe 222, the refrigeration water outlet pipe 223 and the pipelines flowing from the refrigeration water inlet pipe 222 to the refrigeration water outlet pipe 223 are connected to form the refrigeration pipeline 02. The sterilization water circuit of the water dispenser provided in the present application includes the above-mentioned refrigeration pipeline 02. Specifically, after the sterilization water flows into the water pipe 100 through the heating water outlet pipe 213, it can flow through the refrigeration water inlet pipe 222 and the refrigeration water outlet pipe 223 in sequence to sterilize the refrigeration pipeline 02.

[0040] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the above-mentioned heating device 211 includes a heat exchanger 2111 and a heat storage tank 2112, and the heat exchanger 2111 is connected to the heat storage tank 2112 through a heat exchange pipeline 04; the heat storage tank 2112 is used to store heat exchange medium, and the heat storage tank 2112 is provided with an electric heating body for heating the heat exchange medium; the heat exchange medium can circulate between the heat exchanger 2111 and the heat storage tank 2112 through the heat exchange pipeline 04 to transport heat into the heat exchanger 2111 to heat the drinking water.

[0041] The heat exchanger 2111 is provided with a medium channel 02 and a water flow channel 06 which are spaced apart from each other. The heat storage tank 2112 is connected with the medium channel 02 through the heat exchange pipeline 04. The medium channel 02 and the water flow channel 06 can exchange heat. When the heat exchange medium flows through the medium channel 02, it can exchange heat with the drinking water flowing in the water flow channel 06 to achieve heating of the drinking water. The water flow channel 06 is connected with the heating water inlet pipe 212 and the heating water outlet pipe 213 to form a heating pipeline 01.

[0042] It can be understood that the above-mentioned heat storage tank 2112 can heat the heat exchange medium through the electric heating element to achieve advance storage of heat. When heating drinking water, the heat in the heat exchange medium can be transferred to the drinking water through the heat exchanger 2111. This method of storing heat in advance does not require a high-power electric heater, and it is low-power and safer to use. Moreover, since the heat is stored in advance, even in the event of a power outage, the heat exchanger 2111 can still heat the drinking water through heat exchange to form a sterilizing water body to sterilize the pipes inside the water dispenser, which is beneficial to improving the sterilization effect of the water dispenser on the internal pipes.

[0043] In some embodiments, the heating device 211 also includes an instantaneous heater 2113, which is connected to the heat exchanger 2111 to heat drinking water, and the sterilization water circuit at least includes a pipeline flowing from the heat exchanger 2111 to the instantaneous heater 2113.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the instant heater 2113 is connected in series with the heat exchanger 2111. After the drinking water flows through the heat exchanger 2111, it can flow through the instant heater 2113. The instant heater 2113 can heat the drinking water together with the heat exchanger 2111. In actual use, since the heat stored by the heat exchange medium inside the heat storage tank 2112 is limited, when the temperature of the heat exchange medium inside the heat storage tank 2112 is not enough, the instant heater 2113 can further heat the drinking water flowing through the heating pipeline 01, thereby ensuring that the drinking water can be heated to a predetermined sterilization temperature to form a sterilization water body during sterilization, ensuring that the pipeline is completely sterilized. In addition to the above effects, when used to heat drinking water to form hot water, the instant heater 2113 can also supplement the temperature of the drinking water to ensure that the water dispenser can obtain hot water at any time.

[0045] Of course, the instant heater 2113 can also be connected in parallel with the heat exchanger 2111. The instant heater 2113 can replace the heat exchanger 2111 to heat the drinking water when the heat stored in the heat storage tank 2112 is insufficient. The instant heater 2113 and the heat exchanger 2111 can also heat the drinking water at the same time, so that the drinking water can reach the predetermined sterilization temperature more quickly to form a sterilized water body.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, a water supply pipeline 03 is connected between the water pipe 100 and the heat storage tank 2112, the heating water outlet pipe 213 is connected to the water supply pipeline 03, and the sterilization water circuit at least includes the water supply pipeline 03. Usually, the heat exchange medium is drinking water, and part of the heat exchange medium will be evaporated during the circulation between the heat exchanger 2111 and the heat storage tank 2112, resulting in less heat exchange medium. Therefore, by setting the water supply pipeline 03, the heat storage tank 2112 can replenish the heat exchange medium through the water pipe 100; since the water supply pipeline 03 and the water pipe 100 can be connected, if bacteria grow inside the water supply pipeline 03, it will also have an adverse effect on the hygiene of the water pipe 100. Through the above design, the sterilization water can flow through the water supply pipeline 03 to sterilize the water supply pipeline 03, thereby avoiding the bacteria inside the water supply pipeline 03 from having an adverse effect on the water pipe 100.

[0047] In addition to the above effects, it can be understood that when the sterilization water flows through the water replenishment pipeline 03 to sterilize the water replenishment pipeline 03, the sterilization water is in a high-temperature state. At this time, the sterilization water can flow into the heat storage tank 2112 through the water replenishment pipeline 03 to become a heat exchange medium. On the one hand, the heat of the sterilization water can be utilized, and on the other hand, the heat exchange medium inside the heat storage tank 2112 can be replenished.

[0048] In some embodiments, the water supply device provided in the present application is also provided with a back-suction assembly 300, and the back-suction assembly 300 is connected to at least one of the water pipe 100 and the heat storage tank 2112 through the back-suction pipe 31, and the sterilization water circuit also includes at least the pipeline of the back-suction pipe 31 and the pipeline flowing from the heat storage tank 2112 to the back-suction pipe 31.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the back-suction assembly 300 is connected with the water pipe 100, the heat storage tank 2112 and the refrigeration pipeline 02 through the back-suction pipe 31 to discharge the residual water or sterilizing water in the water pipe 100, the heat exchange medium inside the heat storage tank 2112, and the residual water or sterilizing water in the refrigeration pipeline 02. In actual use, after the water dispenser is discharged, residual water will be retained in its internal pipeline, and this part of residual water will be discharged first when the water dispenser is discharged next time, thereby causing adverse effects on the quality of drinking water discharged by the water dispenser next time; the back-suction assembly 300 can suck out the residual water in the internal pipeline of the water dispenser through the back-suction pipe 31, thereby ensuring the water quality of the water dispenser. Since the return suction pipe 31 is connected with the water pipe 100 and the refrigeration pipeline 02, the sterilizing water can flow from the water pipe 100 and the refrigeration pipeline 02 through the return suction pipe 31 into the return suction assembly 300 and be discharged. When discharged, the return suction pipe 31 and the pipeline of the return suction assembly 300 can be sterilized, so that the sterilization of the pipeline inside the water dispenser is more comprehensive. It can be understood that the temperature of the heat exchange medium inside the heat storage tank 2112 can reach the predetermined sterilization temperature, so that the heat exchange medium inside the heat storage tank 2112 can also form a sterilizing water body. When the heat exchange medium is discharged from the return suction assembly 300 through the return suction pipe 31, the pipeline of the return suction pipe 31 between the heat storage tank 2112 and the return suction assembly 300 can be sterilized. The sterilization range of the internal pipeline of the water dispenser is improved.

[0050] In some embodiments, the water dispenser provided by the present application further includes a control component, which is connected to the heating component 21 and is used to control the heating component to heat the drinking water to the sterilization temperature to form a sterilization water body. The control component is provided with a temperature sensor, which is arranged along the sterilization water path. The control component senses the temperature of the drinking water in the sterilization water path through the temperature sensor. When the temperature of the drinking water is lower than the sterilization temperature, the control component controls the heating component to heat the drinking water, thereby making the temperature of the drinking water in the sterilization water path very effective in high-temperature sterilization of the pipes inside the water dispenser along the sterilization water path, thereby ensuring the sterilization effect of the water dispenser.

[0051] Furthermore, the above-mentioned control component also includes a timing module, which is connected to the control component. When the temperature sensor senses that the temperature of the drinking water has reached the sterilization temperature, the timing module is set with a predetermined time so that the control module controls the heating component to maintain the sterilization temperature of the drinking water within the predetermined time, ensuring that the pipeline along the sterilization water path can be maintained at the sterilization temperature for a sufficiently long time, thereby making the sterilization process more complete.

[0052] It can be understood that in order to ensure that the temperature of drinking water when it flows inside the sterilization water channel always has a sterilization effect, multiple temperature sensors are arranged at intervals along the sterilization water channel, and multiple temperature sensors are connected to the control component. In this way, the control component can detect the temperature of drinking water in various parts of the entire sterilization water channel, and then the control component can control the heating component to heat the drinking water to ensure that the drinking water always has an effective sterilization temperature when it flows, thereby ensuring the stability of the sterilization effect of the pipeline.

[0053] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0054] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
