DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0044] Reference Figure 1-Figure 17 A water dispenser includes a liquid processing component 44 and an air blowing component 45. The liquid processing component 44 includes a fluid channel 46. The water dispenser has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The fluid channel 46, the fluid inlet, and the fluid outlet can be connected. The air blowing component 45 has an air outlet end that can be connected to the inlet end of the fluid channel 46.

[0045] When the device is working, the fluid enters the fluid channel 46 of the liquid processing component 44 from the fluid inlet, and is discharged from the fluid outlet after being heated or cooled by the liquid processing component 44. After use, air is blown into the fluid channel 46 through the blowing component 45, and the liquid retained in the fluid channel 46 is blown out by the air flow, so that the residual water in the fluid channel 46 is discharged, and only a small amount of water remains inside, or there is almost no residual water or the fluid channel 46 is blown dry.

[0046] It is understandable that when the air blowing component 45 blows air into the fluid channel 46 so that only a small amount of liquid remains in the fluid channel 46, even if the small amount of liquid freezes, it is less likely to expand and damage the liquid processing component 44, thereby greatly reducing the probability of irreversible damage to the liquid processing component 44 caused by low-temperature freezing. Alternatively, the freezing of a small amount of liquid has little effect on the flow of the pipes of the water dispenser, and the water dispenser can still work in a timely manner.

[0047] In particular, when the air blowing component 45 blows air into the fluid channel 46 so that only water drops remain in the fluid channel 46, and the fluid channel 46 is set to have almost no residual water or is blown dry, the liquid processing component 44 will not be damaged by the freezing of the fluid at low temperature, or will not freeze and block the water dispenser pipeline. At this time, the sanitary environment in the fluid channel 46 can also be improved, reducing sanitary problems such as bacterial growth caused by residual water.

[0094] As another embodiment, refer to Figure 6 The bottom plate 15 is located between two adjacent first fins 16, and two second fins 17 are arranged. A second groove 19 is provided between the adjacent second fins 17, and the second groove 19 is at least partially filled with a phase change energy storage material 31. The end of the second fin 17 has an arc surface 20 adapted to the outer periphery of the heat exchange pipeline 11, and the heat exchange pipeline 11 at least partially abuts against the arc surface 20.

[0095] The heat exchange pipeline 11 is supported in the first groove 18 by multiple second fins 17, so that the heat exchange pipeline 11 is suspended, so that the heat exchange pipeline 11 can better contact with the phase change energy storage material 31, and the arc surface 20 can better support the heat exchange pipeline 11, thereby improving the stability of the heat exchange pipeline 11 on the cold end heat exchanger 10.

[0096] As an implementation mode, a plurality of first fins 16 and second fins 17 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the heat exchange pipeline 11 is bent in an S shape, so that the heat exchange pipeline 11 can be in contact with more phase change energy storage materials 31 within a certain space, thereby improving the compactness of the equipment and facilitating the miniaturization of the equipment.

[0100] The refrigeration component 29 is installed at the installation position 27, with the cold end of the refrigeration component 29 located on one side of the support plate 6 and the hot end located on the other side of the support plate 6, so that the cold end of the refrigeration component 29 is close to one side of the accommodating cavity 9, so that the cold end can better reduce the phase change energy storage material and the hot end can better dissipate heat.

[0101] As an implementation method, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 The shell 24 includes a support plate 6 and a lower shell 7. There is a chamber between the lower shell 7 and the support plate 6. The hot end heat exchanger 12 is located in the chamber. The lower shell 7 has a heat dissipation hole 8 connected to the chamber. The fan 3 is located at one end of the lower shell 7 away from the heat dissipation hole 8.

[0102] The fan 3 generates airflow, which cools the hot end heat exchanger 12 in the chamber when the airflow flows through the chamber. This structure can form the refrigeration component into an integral structure, which is convenient for assembly with other components and can realize directional discharge of hot airflow.
