Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of self-cleaning drinking machines, and particularly to a drinking machine with an ice-making function. Background Art

[0002] Currently, with the popularization of water purification products, more and more families connect drinking machines to the water supply network as water-using terminals to improve the water quality. A cold storage tank is installed in the water purifier to store frozen purified water. However, since the water purifier does not adopt a completely sealed structure, it is difficult to completely isolate the purified water in the water storage tank from the air. Bacteria will breed during the long-term use of the water storage tank, resulting in secondary pollution and threatening the health of water use.

[0003] Generally, in order to reduce the breeding of bacteria in the cold storage tank, an ultraviolet lamp is installed in the cold storage tank. However, the ultraviolet lamp is generally installed at the top of the cover of the cold storage tank, with weak penetration and no continuous sterilization ability. Once the power is cut off, bacteria will breed rapidly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a drinking machine with an ice-making function, which solves the defects that the existing ultraviolet lamp is generally installed at the top of the cover of the cold storage tank, with weak penetration and no continuous sterilization ability, and once the power is cut off, bacteria will continue to breed.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A drinking machine with an ice-making function includes: a body, a water purification component is arranged in the body, and the water purification component includes a water inlet pipe, a filter element module and a cold storage tank; the rear end of the water inlet pipe is sequentially connected to the filter element module and the cold storage tank, a water pump is arranged between the filter element module and the cold storage tank, a tank body is arranged in the cold storage tank, a transparent inner cylinder is arranged at the bottom of the tank body, a first opening is arranged at the upper part of the inner cylinder, an ozone generator is arranged at the bottom of the tank body, an ultraviolet lamp body is embedded on the side wall of the inner cylinder, a ring body is arranged at the top end of the barrel wall of the inner cylinder, a lens for facilitating the passage of ultraviolet rays is arranged at the center of the ring body, and the conducting wire of the ultraviolet lamp body passes through the barrel wall and the inside of the ring body. In the present invention, the ultraviolet lamp body is embedded on the side wall of the inner cylinder and is stationary in the water body. Cooperating with the ozone generator, it improves the defects of weak penetration and no continuous sterilization ability caused by single ultraviolet sterilization; the inner cylinder plays a role in facilitating the stillness of the water body, improving the transparency of the water body. On the one hand, it avoids the rapid agitation of the water body by the incoming water flow to generate a large number of bubbles, and on the other hand, it also makes impurities precipitate, avoiding the adsorption of ultraviolet rays by impurities or bubbles and affecting the ultraviolet penetration sterilization of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0007] Optionally, an ice-making component is further arranged in the body, and the ice-making component includes an electronic refrigeration module.

[0008] Optionally, a cover body is provided at the top of the bile body.

[0009] Optionally, a water inlet joint is provided at the center of the bottom of the bile body.

[0010] Optionally, the first opening is located at the top of the inner cylinder.

[0011] Optionally, a second opening is provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder. The provision of the second opening at the bottom of the inner cylinder in the present invention is conducive to the direct entry of ozone into the cold bile, avoiding excessive accumulation of ozone between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, so that the ozone concentration on the outer side of the outer cylinder can also be maintained at a relatively high level, improving the sterilization effect.

[0012] Optionally, transparent membranes are installed on the first opening and the second opening, and a plurality of openings are provided on the transparent membranes.

[0013] The provision of the transparent membrane in the present invention is conducive to the outward divergence and penetration of ultraviolet rays, reducing the diffusion rate of ozone, causing ozone to partially accumulate at the openings, and increasing the duration of ozone disinfection.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom of the lens bulges downward to form a convex lower surface. Since ozone has a low density, it generally accumulates at the convex lower surface. The ozone moves from the center to the four peripheral edges along the convex lower surface and flows outwards through the first opening more efficiently. In the present invention, with the convex lower surface design of the lens, a part of the ultraviolet rays are reflected, and the other part of the ultraviolet rays are converged by the lens and then penetrate upwards, enabling the water body at the top to also be penetrated and irradiated by the converged light, improving the sterilization efficiency of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0015] Optionally, an outer cylinder made of a waterproof and breathable material is provided on the outer side of the inner cylinder. The outer cylinder is connected to the bile body through a connecting piece, and the top of the outer cylinder is made of a transparent material.

[0016] Optionally, the cold bile is installed at the top of the machine body.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. In the present invention, an ultraviolet lamp body is inlaid on the side wall of the inner cylinder, and the ultraviolet lamp body is stationary in the water body. In cooperation with an ozone generator, it improves the defects of weak penetration and no continuous sterilization ability caused by single ultraviolet sterilization. The inner cylinder plays a role in facilitating the stationary state of the water body, improving the transparency of the water body. On the one hand, it avoids the rapid agitation of the water body by the incoming water flow to generate a large number of bubbles, and on the other hand, it also makes impurities precipitate, avoiding the adsorption of ultraviolet rays by impurities or bubbles and affecting the ultraviolet penetration sterilization of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0019] 2. The second opening provided at the bottom of the inner cylinder of the present invention is conducive to the direct entry of ozone into the cold tank, avoiding excessive accumulation of ozone between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, so that the ozone concentration on the outer side of the outer cylinder can also be maintained at a relatively high level, improving the sterilization effect.

[0020] 3. The transparent film provided in the present invention is conducive to the outward divergence and penetration of ultraviolet rays, reducing the diffusion rate of ozone, causing ozone to partially accumulate at the opening, and increasing the duration of ozone disinfection.

[0021] 4. Due to the convex design of the lower surface of the lens in the present invention, when ultraviolet rays pass through the convex lower surface, a part of them is reflected, and the other part is converged by the lens and then passes upward, enabling the water body at the top to also be penetrated and irradiated by the converged ultraviolet rays, improving the sterilization efficiency of the ultraviolet lamp.

[0022] 5. The outer cylinder is provided in the present invention to slow down the agitation of the ozone generated by the ozone generator in the water body, avoiding affecting the sedimentation of impurities in the water body at the outer edge of the inner tank, facilitating the diffusion of ozone in the water body at a slower speed, rather than directly entering the air at the top of the water body, so that a large amount of ozone cannot play a sterilization role. The outer cylinder is made of a breathable material, which can further improve the problem of unbalanced ozone concentration inside and outside the outer cylinder after a long time.
