Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, and in particular to a water dispenser and refrigeration equipment having the same. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, refrigerators have more and more functions. For example, refrigerators can be provided with a cold water preparation system to use the coldness of the storage compartment to make cold water and provide it to users to meet the different needs of users.

[0003] Existing refrigerators for making cold drinking water often have an external water dispenser on the door. When a user needs cold drinking water, he presses a tongue-pressing member on the external water dispenser to rotate around a rotating axis, and uses the tongue-pressing member to drive a water valve on a water outlet channel to open and take water.

[0004] The rotating axis of the tongue depressing component on the existing mechanically driven external water intake distributor is set at a position higher than the water valve, which has the following disadvantages: ① Due to the space of the distributor, the distance from the rotating axis to the lower surface of the water valve is smaller than the distance from the lower surface of the valve body to the end of the tongue depressing component. In order to ensure the best water outlet effect of the mechanical water valve, it is necessary to press the water valve stroke to the bottom as much as possible. As a result, the rotation angle of the tongue depressing component will be further increased, and the movable space of the tongue depressing component will also increase. Therefore, the tongue depressing component occupies a large space as a whole.

[0005] ② Since the rotating shaft is arranged at a position higher than the pressing surface of the water valve, in order to drive the mechanical water valve to operate, sufficient movement space needs to be reserved between the tongue depressing component and the dispenser seat, resulting in the tongue depressing component being suspended in the air. The tongue depressing component in the suspended state is sometimes at risk of being pulled outward and damaged. Summary of the invention

[0034] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by a person skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be understood that the terms used herein, such as "upper", "lower", "inner", "front", etc., indicating spatial relative positions are used for the purpose of convenience to describe the relationship of one component or feature relative to another component or feature as shown in the drawings. The terms of spatial relative positions may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0036] The present invention provides a refrigeration device, the refrigeration device includes a door body 100, referring to Figure 1 As shown, a water dispenser 200 is disposed on the door body 100, and the user can directly obtain the cold drinking water prepared inside the refrigeration device by driving the water dispenser 200.

[0037] It is understandable that the refrigeration device can be a refrigerator, a freezer or other refrigeration device, and the refrigeration device also has a box body that forms a refrigeration chamber with the door body 100, and a kettle is provided inside the refrigeration device. The kettle can be filled with water by the user or connected to an external water source, and the cold in the refrigeration chamber is used to cool the water in the kettle, thereby producing cold drinking water. In addition, a water outlet channel connected to the kettle is provided on the door body 100 of the refrigeration device, and the water outlet channel is opened and closed by the water distributor 200.

[0038] Specifically, see Figures 2 to 12 As shown, the water dispenser 200 includes a dispenser seat 1, a water outlet protruding outward from the dispenser seat 1, and a water outlet valve 3 arranged at the water outlet; the water dispenser 200 also includes a tongue depressor 4 rotatably connected to the dispenser seat 1 at the lower side of the water outlet valve 3, and the upper part of the tongue depressor 4 acts on the water outlet valve 3 to control the opening and closing of the water outlet valve 3. The position where the tongue depressor 4 in the water dispenser 200 of the present invention is rotatably connected to the dispenser seat 1 is located at the lower side of the water outlet valve 3. After the user presses the tongue depressor 4, the movement of the tongue depressor 4 can be effectively converted into movement in the opening and closing direction of the water valve, thereby greatly reducing the space occupied by the tongue depressor 4 in the movement of controlling the water outlet valve, making the overall structure of the water dispenser 200 more compact; in addition, the tongue depressor 4 is assembled on the dispenser seat 1, thereby eliminating the problem of the tongue depressor 4 being suspended in the air, and avoiding the risk of the tongue depressor 4 being pulled outward and damaged.

[0039] It is understandable that a mounting groove matching the shape of the dispenser base 1 is recessed on the door body 100. After the dispenser base 1 is connected to the mounting groove, the dispenser base 1 is flush with the surface of the door body 100, making the door body 100 more beautiful as a whole.

[0040] It is known that the water outlet of the distributor is connected to the water outlet channel inside the refrigeration equipment, and the water outlet channel is opened and closed by the water outlet valve 3 on the water outlet. Specifically, the water outlet valve 3 in the present invention includes a middle shell 31 with a water flow channel formed inside, the middle shell 31 is fixedly connected to the distributor seat 1 and / or the door body 100, a valve core 32 is provided inside the middle shell 31, and a sealing ring 33 is sleeved on the front side of the valve core 32. When the sealing ring 33 abuts against the inner wall of the middle shell 31, the water flow channel of the middle shell 31 is closed. When the valve core 32 drives the sealing ring 33 to move upward until the sealing ring 33 separates from the inner wall of the middle shell 31, the water flow channel of the middle shell 31 is opened. In the present invention, the water outlet valve 3 also includes an outer shell 34 movably connected to the outer periphery of the middle shell 31, and the outer shell 34 can drive the valve core 32 and the sealing ring 33 to move when it moves.

[0041] In the present invention, the specific movement process of the water dispenser 200 when the user takes water is as follows: when the tongue depressor 4 is in the initial state, the water outlet valve 3 is in the closed state. When the user presses the tongue depressor 4 and the tongue depressor 4 rotates toward the dispenser seat 1 under pressure, the upper part of the tongue depressor 4 drives the outer shell 34 of the water outlet valve 3 to drive the valve core 32 and the sealing ring 33 to move upward along the axial direction of the valve core 32, so that the sealing ring 33 changes from the state of abutting against the inner wall of the middle shell 31 to a gap between the sealing ring 33 and the inner wall of the middle shell 31, the water flow channel inside the middle shell 31 is opened, the water outlet valve 3 is in the open state, and the user obtains cold drinking water. After the user finishes taking water and releases the tongue depressor 4, an elastic reset member is provided inside the water outlet valve 3 to drive the outer shell 34 and the valve core 32 to reset. The water outlet valve 3 is reset to the closed state through the elastic reset member, and at the same time, the outer shell 34 pushes the upper end of the tongue depressor 4 to restore the tongue depressor 4 to the initial state.

[0042] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the distributor seat 1 has a tongue-pressing connection area located at the lower side of the water outlet valve 3, and one of the tongue-pressing connection area and the tongue-pressing connection area is provided with a rotating shaft 14, and the other is provided with a rotating shaft groove 15 matched with the rotating shaft 14; the tongue-pressing connection area is covered by the tongue-pressing connection area, and the tongue-pressing connection area is connected to the distributor seat 1 by the matching of the rotating shaft 14 and the rotating shaft groove 15. After the tongue-pressing connection area and the distributor seat 1 are connected, the movement of the tongue-pressing connection area can be restricted. In addition, the rotating shaft 14 is located at the lower side of the water outlet valve 3, and the rotation of the tongue-pressing connection area toward the distributor seat 1 is converted into the movement in the direction of opening the water outlet valve 3, which greatly reduces the activity space of the tongue-pressing connection area. At the same time, the bottom of the tongue-pressing connection area is assembled on the distributor seat 1 by the matching of the shaft groove, which can eliminate the problem of the tongue-pressing connection area being suspended.

[0043] Specifically, see Figure 4 As shown, the lower part of the tongue depressor 4 on one side facing the dispenser seat body 1 is protruded with a first overhang portion 41 and a second overhang portion 42 arranged in a horizontal direction at intervals, and the first overhang portion 41 and the second overhang portion 42 are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft 141 and a second rotating shaft 142 extending opposite to each other and horizontally; the tongue depressor connecting area has a mounting surface 111 for mounting the tongue depressor 4, and the mounting surface 111 is protruded with a first mounting portion 12 and a second mounting portion 13, the first mounting portion 12 is provided with a first rotating shaft groove cooperating with the first rotating shaft 141, and the second mounting portion 13 is provided with a second rotating shaft groove cooperating with the second rotating shaft 142.

[0044] It can be understood that the tongue depressor 4 has a center line extending in the vertical direction, and the first overhang portion 41 and the second overhang portion 42 are symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the center line; the first rotating axis 141 is protruded on the side of the first overhang portion 41 away from the center line, and the second rotating axis 142 is protruded on the side of the second overhang portion 42 away from the center line, and the first rotating axis 141 and the second rotating axis 142 correspond in position, have the same size and have axes with overlapping projections.

[0045] Furthermore, the pressing tongue 4 includes a base plate 45 forming a pressing area, and a flange 46 extending from the peripheral side of the base plate 45 in a direction perpendicular to the base plate 45, the first overhang portion 41, the second overhang portion 42 and the flange 46 are located on the same side of the base plate 45, and after the two rotating shafts 14 are inserted into the corresponding rotating shaft grooves, a preset gap is provided between the base plate 45 and the mounting surface 111.

[0046] Furthermore, the end of the first cantilever portion 41 is in the shape of an arc with the center of the first rotating shaft 141 as the center, and the end of the second cantilever portion 42 is in the shape of an arc with the center of the second rotating shaft 142 as the center. This can prevent the first cantilever portion 41 and the second cantilever portion 42 from being restrained and limited by the dispenser base 1 when the tongue depressor 4 rotates, thereby ensuring that the tongue depressor 4 can rotate normally in the direction close to the dispenser base 1 with the first rotating shaft 141 and the second rotating shaft 142 as the rotation center, thereby ensuring that the tongue depressor 4 drives the water outlet valve 3 to open and discharge water.

[0047] Furthermore, the free end of the first rotating shaft 141 is provided with a first guide surface 43 to guide the first rotating shaft 141 to quickly enter the first rotating shaft groove. The free end of the second rotating shaft 142 is provided with a second guide surface 44 to guide the second rotating shaft 142 to quickly enter the second rotating shaft groove.

[0048] Further, see Figure 7 As shown, the mounting surface 111 is also provided with a first overhanging platform 16 and a second overhanging platform 17 which are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. When the tongue-pressing device 4 is assembled with the tongue-pressing device connection area, the first overhanging platform 16 is used to guide and support the first overhanging portion 41, and the second overhanging platform 17 is used to guide and support the second overhanging portion 42. The rotating shaft 14 provided on the tongue-pressing device 4 can quickly enter the rotating shaft groove, which is convenient for assembling the water outlet distributor 200.

[0049] Specifically, the first cantilevered platform 16 is disposed on the lower side of the first mounting portion 12 , and the first cantilevered platform 16 is disposed on the lower side of the second mounting portion 13 .

[0050] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the distributor base 1 has a mounting surface 111 for mounting the depressing tongue 4, and a first rib 18 and a second rib 19 are protruded from the mounting surface 111 and are relatively arranged in the horizontal direction, and the first rib 18 and the second rib 19 are respectively provided with a first stop portion 20 and a second stop portion 21 arranged opposite to each other; after the depressing tongue 4 is connected to the distributor base 1, the first stop portion 20 and the second stop portion 21 are both abutted against the side of the depressing tongue 4 away from the distributor base 1, so that the upper end of the depressing tongue 4 is limitedly connected to the distributor base 1, and after the lower end of the depressing tongue 4 is rotatably connected to the distributor base 1, the depressing tongue 4 is prevented from rotating in the direction away from the distributor base 1, thereby ensuring that the position of the depressing tongue 4 remains unchanged after installation.

[0051] In the present invention, the water distributor 200 further includes a cover plate 10 for shielding the water outlet, the water outlet valve 3, and the upper part of the tongue 4, so that the water distributor 200 is more beautiful as a whole. Specifically, the two ends of the cover plate 10 can be connected to the first rib 18 and the second rib 19 respectively. Of course, the setting position of the cover plate 10 is not limited to this.

[0052] Further, see Figure 7 As shown, the mounting surface 111 is provided with a first boss 22 and a second boss 23 in the horizontal direction; the tongue pressing device 4 includes a base plate 45 forming a pressing area, and a flange 46 extending from the circumference of the base plate 45 to a direction perpendicular to the base plate 45. The two flanges 46 arranged opposite to each other in the horizontal direction are respectively provided with a first limiting portion 47 cooperating with the first boss 22 and a second limiting portion 48 cooperating with the second boss 23, so as to limit the left and right position of the tongue pressing device 4, and avoid the problem that the tongue pressing device 4 shakes left and right when the user presses the tongue pressing device 4, causing the tongue pressing device 4 to be twisted and the water outlet is skewed. At the same time, it can also ensure that even if the left and right positions of the tongue pressing device 4 are pressed, the water outlet of the dispenser can still discharge water normally. Specifically, the first limiting portion 47 and the second limiting portion 48 can be a limiting edge protruding from the inner wall of the flange 46 toward the inside of the tongue pressing device 4, or a limiting groove concavely provided. Of course, the structure of the limiting portion is not limited to this.

[0053] The specific method of assembling the tongue depressor 4 into the dispenser base 1 is: insert the tongue depressor 4 obliquely into the first stop portion 20 and the second stop portion 21 close to the dispenser base 1, and drop the tongue depressor 4 to the first overhang portion 41 and the second overhang portion 42 respectively abut against the first overhang platform 16 and the second overhang platform 17, and then push it toward the dispenser base 1, and the two rotating shafts 14 on the tongue depressor 4 elastically deform and enter the corresponding rotating shaft grooves on the dispenser base 1.

[0054] In the second embodiment of the present invention, the difference from the first embodiment lies in the structure of the rotating shaft 6 and the rotating shaft groove 7 between the tongue pressing 4 and the dispenser seat 1. For details, please refer to Figures 8 to 12As shown, the lower end face of the tongue depressor 4 is provided with a folded edge 5 extending downward; the dispenser seat body 1 has a tongue depressor connecting area 11 located at the lower side of the water outlet valve 3, and one of the folded edge 5 and the tongue depressor connecting area 11 is provided with a rotating shaft 6, and the other is provided with a rotating shaft groove 7 matching the rotating shaft 6; the tongue depressor 4 covers the tongue depressor connecting area 11, and after the tongue depressor 4 is connected to the shaft groove of the dispenser seat body 1, the rotating shaft 6 is located at the lower end face of the tongue depressor 4, and no matter where the user presses the tongue depressor 4, water can be taken, thereby improving the user experience.

[0055] Specifically, see Figure 8 As shown, the lower end of the pressing tongue 4 is provided with a first folded edge 51 and a second folded edge 52 which are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction, and the rotating shaft 6 includes a first rotating shaft 61 connected to the lower end surface of the first folded edge 51, and a second rotating shaft 62 connected to the lower end surface of the second folded edge 52; the pressing tongue connecting area 11 is recessed with a rotating shaft groove 7 which cooperates with the first rotating shaft 61 and the second rotating shaft 62 at the same time. Since the rotating shaft 6 is arranged on the lower side of the lower end surface of the pressing tongue 4, the pressing tongue 4 is obliquely inserted into the side of the first stop portion 20 and the second stop portion 21 close to the dispenser seat body 1 during assembly, and the lower rotating shaft 6 is rotated toward the dispenser seat body 1 while falling downward into the rotating shaft groove 7 of the dispenser seat body 1, so that assembly can be easily achieved.

[0056] For further information, see Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the rotating shaft groove 7 has two side walls arranged opposite to each other along the rotation direction of the tongue depressor 4, and at least two convex ribs 8 are arranged on each side wall in the horizontal direction. The rotating shaft 6 cooperates with the convex ribs 8, and compared with the contact between the rotating shaft 6 and the rotating shaft groove 7, the friction force on the rotating shaft 6 is reduced, which makes it easier for the tongue depressor 4 to rotate. Specifically, the rotation direction of the tongue depressor 4 can be the front-to-back direction of the door body 100, and each convex rib 8 is arranged to extend in the vertical direction.

[0057] In the second embodiment, the lower end surface of the tongue pressing device 4 is further provided with a limiting rib 9 which is located between the first folded edge 51 and the second folded edge 52 and overhangs upwards, and the distributor seat 1 is provided with a stop bar 112 which is located on the upper side of the shaft groove 7 and matches with the upper end surface of the limiting rib 9, thereby limiting the position of the tongue pressing device 4 in the up and down directions and ensuring the position accuracy of the tongue pressing device 4. It is understandable that when the limiting rib 9 is provided on the tongue pressing device 4 and the tongue pressing device 4 is installed on the distributor seat 1, the limiting rib 9 is elastically deformed and enters the lower side of the stop bar 112. After the installation is completed, the deformation of the limiting rib 9 disappears. If the tongue pressing device 4 is forced to move upwards, the upper end surface of the limiting rib 9 will abut against the stop bar 112, thereby limiting the tongue pressing device 4 in the up and down directions.

[0058] The position where the tongue depressor 4 in the water dispenser 200 of the present invention is rotatably connected to the dispenser seat 1 is located at the lower side of the water outlet valve 3. After the user presses the tongue depressor 4, the movement of the tongue depressor 4 can be effectively converted into movement in the opening and closing direction of the water valve, thereby greatly reducing the space occupied by the tongue depressor 4 in the movement of controlling the water outlet of the valve, making the overall structure of the water dispenser 200 more compact; in addition, the tongue depressor 4 is assembled on the dispenser seat 1, thereby eliminating the problem of the tongue depressor 4 being suspended in the air and avoiding the risk of the tongue depressor 4 being pulled outward and damaged.

[0059] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation mode may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0060] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of feasible implementation methods of the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation methods or changes that do not deviate from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
