Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of direct drinking machines, in particular to a pressure sensor and a direct drinking machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The pressure sensor is a device for detecting fluid or gas pressure and converting it into an electrical signal, which is composed of a sensitive element (such as a diaphragm, a bellows) and a conversion circuit, and realizes accurate measurement (accuracy up to 0.1% FS) through deformation or resistance change caused by pressure, and is widely used in industrial control, medical equipment and other fields.

[0003] The direct drinking machine is an equipment that purifies water sources through a multi-stage filtration system (PP cotton, activated carbon, RO membrane, etc.), removes impurities, bacteria and heavy metals, and makes the water meet the direct drinking standard. It is often equipped with heating / cooling function and intelligent control system to meet the safe drinking water needs of home, office and other scenes. Some existing direct drinking machines integrate pressure sensors in the equipment. The pressure sensor is embedded in the water system and linked with the main control chip. When the water inlet pressure is detected to be abnormal, the machine will automatically shut down to protect the filter core from damage or water leakage risk. At the same time, it can monitor the water pressure before and after the filter core in real time, and prompt to replace the filter core when the pressure difference exceeds the threshold, so as to ensure the filtration efficiency and water quality safety of the direct drinking machine.

[0004] (1) In the application of pressure sensor integrated in the filter core of direct drinking machine, the long-term filtration of impurity-containing water quality, such as hard water with calcium and magnesium ion concentration greater than or equal to 100 mg / L, will cause the formation of a 0.1-0.5 mm thick calcium scale layer on the surface of the pressure membrane. These attached impurities cover the sensing diaphragm through the dual action of physical deposition and chemical crystallization, reducing the pressure conduction efficiency by 30%-50%, directly causing the sensitivity of the sensor to attenuate. The original 0.01 MPa water pressure change can trigger signal output, but after scaling, 0.03-0.05 MPa pressure fluctuation is needed to respond, causing delay in filter core blockage warning and seriously affecting the accurate monitoring of the state of the direct drinking machine filter core. (2) At the same time, in the use scene of some direct drinking machines equipped with pressure sensors, when the installation height of the water outlet and the distance between the water outlet and the cup exceed 5 cm, the impact splashing phenomenon of water flow caused by gravity acceleration is significant. When the distance reaches 10 cm, the splashing droplets generated by the water flow impacting the bottom of the cup can cover an area with a radius of 15 cm in the water receiving area, causing an average of 0.5-1 mL of water stains to accumulate on the control panel and water receiving table of the direct drinking machine every minute. These splashing water stains not only need to be wiped off by the user after receiving the water for 10-20 seconds, but also may seep into the control panel gap to cause circuit short circuit risk, increasing the maintenance burden of the equipment. Therefore, we propose a pressure sensor and a direct drinking machine. SUMMARY

[0017] 2.

The design uses the "inflation-driven-flexible sealing-pressure self-limiting" mechanism to close the gap between the water outlet and the cup mouth to more than 98%, so that the water splash range is strictly limited within the water cup; the arc contact surface of the sealing capsule is adapted to various water cups with a diameter of 50-120 mm, solving the splash adaptation problem when different specifications of containers receive water; the telescopic stroke (30-80 mm) of the folding air bag can be compatible with water cups of different heights without manual adjustment by the user; by setting the auxiliary device, the direct drinking machine can cover the cup mouth when it is receiving water, so that the water cup is in a semi-closed space during water receiving, reducing the problem that the user needs to spend a certain amount of time to clean the area around the direct drinking machine when the water outlet is far away from the water cup, and improving the user experience of the direct drinking machine through the automatic sealing mechanism while keeping the water receiving area clean.

[0031] Working principle of the invention: When using the water dispenser, place the water cup in the water receiving area of ​​the machine body 7. After placement, control the operation of the machine body 7 through the touch panel on the surface of the machine body 7. When the machine body 7 is working, the water source enters the water inlet of the machine body 7 through the municipal water pipe. When the water source enters the filter chamber 11 through the water inlet, the filter chamber 11 filters the water source. The filtered water source passes through the pressure sensor and enters the filter chamber 2 12. The filter chamber 2 12 performs secondary filtration on the water source. After the water source completes secondary filtration, the water source enters the filter chamber 3 13 for tertiary filtration. After the water source completes tertiary filtration, the water source enters the heating chamber of the machine body 7 or is directly sent to the water outlet 9 according to the user's selection. The water source sent out after being heated in the heating chamber is hot water, and the water source sent directly to the water outlet 9 is cold water. When water passes through the pressure sensor, the water pressure pushes the support block 6 inside the assembly 5. The support block 6 is compressed by the pressure membrane 2. The pressure membrane 2, in turn, works with the main board 1 to detect the water pressure in the filter chamber 11. While the water pushes the support block 6, the water, guided by the rhomboid protrusion 61, simultaneously washes the surface of the support block 6. When the user needs to maintain the pressure sensor, the maintenance personnel remove the assembly 5 from the positioning ring 4. After the positioning ring 4 is removed, the support block 6 is no longer restricted and can be removed and replaced with a new support block 6. After replacement, the assembly 5 can be reinstalled. By setting the positioning ring 4, assembly 5, support block 6, and rhomboid protrusion 61, the contact surface of the pressure sensor is replaced by the support block 6. This solves the accuracy drift problem caused by the calcium layer and is especially suitable for direct drinking water machines with high water hardness. While ensuring the accuracy of pressure monitoring, it significantly reduces the maintenance cost and downtime loss of the equipment throughout its entire life cycle. Additionally, when the water exits the body 7, the pressure monitored by the pressure sensor drops instantaneously. At this time, the pressure sensor, in conjunction with the body 7, controls the diaphragm pump 81 and the solenoid valve 83 to operate. The solenoid valve 83 connects the diaphragm pump 81 and the conduit 84. The diaphragm pump 81 is energized and, in conjunction with the air intake 82, pumps external air into the conduit 84. The conduit 84, in conjunction with the three-way connector 85, sends the air into the air pipe 86. The air pipe 86, in conjunction with the air intake connector 87, sends the air into the assembly tank 881. When the air enters the assembly tank 881, the air is transported... Guided by the air vent 882, the air vent 810 is inflated. During inflation, the air vent 810 pushes the sealing mechanism 811. Guided by the support column 88, the sealing mechanism 811, in conjunction with the linkage frame 812, pushes the mounting frame 813. The mounting frame 813 pushes the disc 814 and the sealing capsule 815. At the same time, the telescopic tube 8164 is pulled by the mounting frame 813, causing the telescopic mechanism 816 to gradually unfold. The sealing capsule 815 moves closer to the water cup during the movement. When the sealing capsule 815 is in contact with the cup mouth of the water cup, the sealing capsule 815 covers the cup mouth of the water cup, at the same time, the sealing capsule 815 is extruded and deformed by the cup mouth of the water cup, and the air pressure in the sealing capsule 815 changes, when the pressure sensing element 817 detects the pressure change, the pressure sensing element 817 controls the electromagnetic valve 83 and the diaphragm pump 81 to be closed, the electromagnetic valve 83 cuts off the communication between the conduit 84 and the diaphragm pump 81, so that the air pressure in the conduit 84 and the folded air bag 810 is kept in a stable state, when the diaphragm pump 81 is closed, the water outlet 9 starts to discharge water, the water source flows into the water cup under the guidance of the telescopic mechanism 816, and the water source entering the water cup is limited in the water cup under the shielding of the sealing capsule 815; After the water is discharged, the machine body 7 stops discharging water, at this time, the pressure in the filter bin 11 rises instantaneously, and the pressure sensor cooperates with the machine body 7 to control the diaphragm pump 81 and the electromagnetic valve 83 to work, the electromagnetic valve 83 reconnects the diaphragm pump 81 and the conduit 84, at this time, the diaphragm pump 81 works in cooperation with the conduit 84, the tee joint 85, the air pipe 86, the air inlet joint 87, the assembly groove 881 and the air inlet hole 882 to extract the gas in the folded air bag 810, the folded air bag 810 is gradually folded and reset when the gas is extracted, and the sealing mechanism 811 and the linkage frame 812 pull the mounting frame 813, the disc 814 and the sealing capsule 815 to reset, in the process of resetting the mounting frame 813, the disc 814 and the sealing capsule 815, the user can take out the water cup and wipe the surface of the sealing capsule 815; by setting the auxiliary device 8, the direct drinking machine can cover the cup mouth of the water cup when discharging water, so that the water cup is in a semi-closed space during water receiving, and the problem that the user needs to spend a certain amount of time to clean the direct drinking machine around due to the water spattering around the direct drinking machine because the distance between the water outlet 9 and the water cup is far is reduced, the area of water receiving is kept clean, and the user experience of the direct drinking machine is improved through the automatic sealing mechanism.
