TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a kind of anti-toppling drinking water equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the indispensable infrastructure in modern life and work, drinking water equipment has evolved from traditional models connected to barreled water to today's intelligent models directly connected to tap water. Drinking water equipment is no longer a simple "water boiling tool", but a silent health manager in modern life.
[0003] As the core carrier of modern healthy life, drinking water equipment is undergoing a transformation from single drinking water function to integration, intelligence and scene adaptation. Traditional drinking water equipment is often criticized for its bulky body. A large body placed in the living room often looks out of place and occupies valuable space, conflicting with the modern minimalist home style. Placing it on the kitchen countertop can also cause the small kitchen countertop to be cramped due to space occupation. In order to solve the volume problem, the light and thin model is launched, but it brings new problems due to unstable center of gravity. Especially for some existing models, the water outlet box has a telescopic and rotating function. If the user operates carelessly while using the drinking water equipment, it will bring a very poor user experience. The dilemma of "bulky and space-occupying" and "light and thin and easy to tip over" makes it difficult to achieve both convenience and stability in drinking water experience. SUMMARY
[0004] 1. Technical problem to be solved by the application In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides an anti-toppling drinking water equipment. To address the tipping risk caused by the light and thin body, the present application improves the structure of the bottom plate of the drinking water equipment to form an anti-toppling fixing mechanism adapted to different use scenarios.
[0005] 2. Technical solution To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution provided by the present application is as follows: The anti-toppling drinking water equipment of the present application comprises a middle frame and a bottom plate arranged at the bottom of the middle frame. The middle frame is a support frame of the drinking water equipment, and a water outlet box, a cold tank and an instant heating body are arranged on the middle frame. The side edge of the middle frame is provided with a valve group arrangement area for centrally arranging a water route control valve group. The bottom plate is provided with anti-toppling mounting holes distributed along the length direction thereof. The bottom plate can selectively connect at least one of the following anti-toppling components: A bolt assembly penetrates the anti-toppling mounting holes to lock the drinking water equipment to the countertop. A support plate is fixed to both sides of the bottom plate through the anti-toppling mounting holes and extends outward to increase the support area of the drinking water equipment. The anti-toppling support assembly is fixed through the anti-toppling mounting hole and includes a positioning stud that can penetrate the countertop to lock the water dispensing device to the countertop.
[0006] Further, the anti-toppling mounting hole includes mounting hole B, mounting hole C and mounting hole D. The mounting hole B is arranged on the two side edges of the front end of the bottom plate in the width direction. The mounting hole C is arranged on the two side edges of the rear end of the bottom plate in the width direction. The mounting hole D is located in the middle of the bottom plate. The mounting hole B, the mounting hole C and the mounting hole D are all pre-threaded holes, which are selectively used according to the type of the anti-toppling assembly.
[0007] Further, the bolt in the bolt assembly penetrates the mounting hole B and the mounting hole C to be locked to the countertop, forming a four-point anchoring anti-toppling structure.
[0008] Further, the support plate is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom plate in the width direction of the water dispensing device, and a positioning hole and a support fixing hole are arranged on the surface of the support plate. The bottom plate is correspondingly provided with a positioning pin, which is inserted into the positioning hole to limit the support plate. The bolt penetrates the support fixing hole and is locked to a pair of mounting holes B arranged in the width direction of the bottom plate, so that the support plate extends outwardly to the water dispensing device, thereby increasing the support area of the water dispensing device.
[0009] Further, the end of the support plate is provided with a clearance hole, which cooperates with the outer diameter of the mounting groove of the bottom plate to automatically correct the angle when the support plate is assembled and ensure that the support fixing hole is aligned with the mounting hole B.
[0010] Further, at least two support fixing holes are arranged on the support plate at intervals, one of which can be removed and moved to the rear end of the bottom plate, and the bolt penetrates the support fixing hole and the mounting hole C at the rear end of the bottom plate to fix the support plate to the bottom plate. The support plate forms a connecting base to fix the external device, and the assembly of the external device is realized through the support fixing hole.
[0011] Further, the anti-toppling support assembly includes a positioning stud, a first pressing plate and a second pressing plate. The positioning stud is vertically fixed to the bottom plate. The first pressing plate is locked to the mounting hole C through the first screw hole, and the second pressing plate is locked to the mounting hole D through the second screw hole, which jointly restricts the position of the positioning stud. The positioning stud can penetrate the hole of the countertop and be locked and fixed from below the countertop by a positioning nut.
[0012] Further, the positioning stud body is internally provided with a through-type wire passing channel; the wire passing channel allows the cable of the water drinking equipment to pass downward, and simultaneously realizes the anti-toppling fixation and hidden wiring.
[0013] Further, the bottom plate is provided with a guide groove for guiding the cable of the water drinking equipment to extend backward along a preset path; the second pressing plate of the anti-toppling support assembly extends longitudinally to form a bottom supporting surface of the guide groove, and the second pressing plate is used for receiving the cable drawn from the guide groove and restricting the cable from sagging and bending; the cable supported on the second pressing plate passes downward through the wire passing channel to form a natural bending turning.
[0014] Further, the support plate and the anti-toppling support assembly can be used in combination; the support plate is fixed to the mounting hole B, and the anti-toppling support assembly is fixed to the mounting hole C and the mounting hole D to form a composite anti-toppling system.
[0015] Further, the anti-toppling assembly is selected according to the installation scene and dynamically adjusted; The bolt anchoring scheme is suitable for the scene of four holes in the table top; The support plate increases the support surface scheme is suitable for the scene of refusing to punch holes in the table top; The anti-toppling support assembly scheme is suitable for the scene of hidden wiring and single hole fixation in the table top.
[0016] 3. Beneficial effects Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme provided by the present application has the following remarkable effects: (1) The anti-toppling water drinking equipment provided by the present application improves the structure of the bottom plate, sets specific anti-toppling mounting holes on the bottom plate, including mounting hole B and mounting hole C symmetrically arranged along the width direction, and these holes are used as standardized anchor points. When the water drinking equipment adopts a light and thin body design, in order to cope with the risk of overturning of the water drinking equipment, the bolt assembly can penetrate these mounting holes to directly lock the water drinking equipment to the table top. Through the four-point anchoring anti-toppling structure formed, the stability of the equipment is significantly enhanced, and the toppling force is effectively resisted; this mechanism is suitable for the scene of four holes in the table top, and through simple bolt locking, the installation efficiency is improved and the modern home environment is adapted.
[0017] (2) The anti-toppling drinking water equipment of the present application increases the supporting area of the drinking water equipment to resist the risk of toppling by symmetrically installing extendable supporting plates on both sides of the bottom plate. In the scenario of rejecting the punching of the table top, the supporting plates are only connected to the equipment body by bolts, without damaging the table top, which significantly improves the stability of the equipment and effectively solves the problem of overturning of the light and thin body. In addition, the supporting plates have the advantage of "one plate with two uses": when external equipment is needed, the two supporting plates can be fixed in the mounting holes C at the rear end of the bottom plate, and the two supporting plates are fixed at the front and rear ends to form an expanded base, which not only solves the problem of equipment fixation but also realizes the expansion of external equipment.
[0018] (3) The anti-toppling drinking water equipment of the present application combines anti-toppling fixation and hidden wiring functions through the anti-toppling support assembly. When a single hole is opened in the table top, the positioning stud can penetrate the hole and be locked by the positioning nut, forming a stable anchoring structure, and all cables can be hidden and passed out downward through the cable passage, eliminating the problem of traditional wiring disorder. In addition, the guide groove provided on the bottom plate guides the cables to extend backward along the preset path, and the second pressing plate expands longitudinally to form the bottom supporting surface of the guide groove, effectively preventing the cables from sagging and bending; after being supported, the cables naturally enter the cable passage of the positioning stud to form a natural bending turn, which not only protects the service life of the cables but also improves the aesthetic appearance.

[0024] Embodiment 1 The anti-toppling water drinking device of the present embodiment comprises a middle frame 1, a water outlet box 2, a water receiving box 3, a valve group setting area 4, a cold tank 5 and an instant heating body 6. The shell structure of the water drinking device mainly plays a physical protection and aesthetic decoration role, and is omitted in the drawings.
[0025] In combination with Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 13 , the middle frame 1 serves as the core support frame of the water drinking device. First, the middle frame 1 serves as the structural main body of the whole water drinking device, and provides a stable installation basis for the core components such as the water outlet box 2, the valve group setting area 4, the cold tank 5 and the instant heating body 6. Second, the middle frame 1 is provided with a special valve group setting area 4 on the side, which is used to centrally install the waterway control valve group to realize accurate control of the waterway. At the same time, the middle frame 1 is movably connected to the top of the water outlet box 2. The overall design of the middle frame 1 not only ensures the reasonable layout of each functional module, but also shares the vibration and load during the operation of the device.
[0026] In combination with Figure 15The water outlet box 2 as the core water outlet component of the water drinking equipment is arranged at the top of the middle frame 1 and located at one side of the length direction of the middle frame 1, and in the non-use state, the water outlet box 2 can be retracted in the water drinking equipment, and in the use state, the water outlet box 2 can be extended to meet the water taking demand of the user.
[0027] In combination Figure 15 The water receiving box 3 as the receiving component of the water drinking equipment is connected in a magnetic attraction mode, and the water receiving box 3 is quickly disassembled through the built-in magnet and the corresponding magnet at the bottom of the middle frame 1, and the position is always located directly below the water outlet box 2.
[0028] The valve group setting area 4 is used for centrally arranging the electromagnetic valve, the flow sensor and other waterway control components, and the various valve bodies are compactly arranged through the optimized space layout, so that the internal space of the equipment is saved and the maintenance and repair are facilitated. The valve group setting area 4 is connected with the water inlet and outlet of the cold tank 5 and the instant heating body 6 through the interface to form the waterway connection, so as to realize the switching and flow control of the cold and hot waterways. The centralized layout of the valve group setting area 4 not only simplifies the assembly process of the waterway system, but also ensures the coordinated operation of the control valves, so as to provide reliable water flow control function for the water drinking equipment.
[0029] In combination Figure 14 The cold tank 5 is arranged at the rear side in the middle frame 1, and the cold tank 5 is controlled by the valve group setting area 4 and forms the complementary water supply with the instant heating body 6. When the user selects the cold water, the water is output after being cooled by the cold tank 5, and when the user selects the hot water, the water is output after being heated by the instant heating body 6. The instant heating body 6 adopts a high-efficiency heating pipe structure and is arranged at the side of the middle frame 1. In the embodiment, the instant heating body 6 and the valve group setting area 4 are arranged at the two sides of the middle frame 1, which not only avoids the heat conduction through the physical separation, but also maintains the efficient connection of the waterway system through the frame structure of the middle frame 1.
[0030] It is worth mentioning that the water drinking equipment adopts a light and thin body design and is provided with the retractable water outlet box 2 to cope with the risk of falling caused by the light and thin body and the dynamic operation of the water nozzle. The present application forms an anti-falling fixing mechanism suitable for different use scenarios through the structural improvement of the bottom plate 8. In the embodiment, first, a first anti-falling fixing mechanism is introduced.
[0031] In combination Figure 1 The water drinking equipment is provided with the bottom plate 8 directly below the middle frame 1, and the edge profile of the bottom plate 8 is completely matched with the bottom of the middle frame 1. The bottom plate 8 is used as the basic bearing component of the water drinking equipment to form the support base of the whole machine. Among them, referring to Figure 2, 6 mounting holes A81 are arranged along the length direction of the bottom plate 8, the bolt fastening connection between the bottom plate 8 and the middle frame 1 is realized through the mounting holes A81, the 4 mounting holes A81 located at the four corners of the bottom plate 8 are directly arranged inside the mounting groove 88, the recess structure of the mounting groove 88 provides mounting space for the shock pad 13. While the mounting holes B82 and the mounting holes C84 located at the two side edges of the bottom plate 8 constitute the anti-toppling anchoring points. From Figure 2 It can be known that the mounting holes B82 and the mounting holes C84 are both symmetrically arranged in two groups along the width direction of the bottom plate 8, the anti-toppling fixation of the drinking water equipment is realized by screwing the bolts through the tabletop into the two groups of four mounting holes, which is the first anti-toppling fixation mechanism.
[0032] Embodiment 2 In combination Figures 3-5 , the basic structure of the drinking water equipment of the embodiment is the same as that of embodiment 1, and the drinking water equipment can be fixed by using the second anti-toppling fixation mechanism. Specifically, The second anti-toppling fixation mechanism is realized by the support plate 9. Referring to Figure 4 , the support plate 9 is a long strip-shaped member, which is symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the bottom plate 8 along the width direction of the drinking water equipment, and the surface of the support plate 9 is provided with a positioning hole 91 and a support fixing hole 92, the radial limiting is realized by inserting the positioning pin 83 arranged on the bottom plate 8 into the positioning hole 91 to prevent the support plate 9 from rotating. At the same time, the support plate 9 is locked to the mounting hole B82 of the bottom plate 8 by the bolt penetrating through the support fixing hole 92. When the equipment is placed on the tabletop, the support plate 9 extends outwardly of the equipment to form a support, thereby increasing the contact area between the equipment and the tabletop and avoiding the risk of toppling of the thin body.
[0033] It is worth noting that the support plate 9 of the embodiment also has a dual function, that is, when the drinking water equipment needs to be connected with other equipment, such as a water purification equipment or a water tank, one of the support plates 9 can be removed and fixed at the mounting hole C84 in the middle of the bottom plate 8 (see Figure 5 ), at this time, one end of the two support plates 9 is fixed to the drinking water equipment through the mounting hole B82 and the mounting hole C84, and the other end extends out of the edge of the equipment as a connection base to fix the water purification equipment or the water tank, and the connection between the adjacent two equipment is realized through the support fixing hole 92. This "one plate dual use" design not only solves the risk of toppling of the thin body, but also saves additional connection accessories, and significantly improves the flexibility of equipment combination.
[0034] A circular accommodation hole 93 is arranged at the end of the support plate 9 close to the inner side of the drinking water equipment (see Figure 4 ), the accommodation hole 93 cooperates with the outer diameter of the mounting groove 88, when the support plate 9 is inserted into the outer edge of the mounting groove 88 of the bottom plate 8, the insertion angle of the support plate 9 is automatically corrected in the assembly process through the constraint effect of the hole wall of the accommodation hole 93 and the mounting groove 88. At the same time, the support fixing hole 92 of the support plate 9 is quickly aligned with the mounting hole B82 of the bottom plate 8.
[0035] Embodiment 3 In combination Figures 6-8 The drinking water equipment of the present embodiment has the same basic structure as that of Embodiment 1, and can be fixed by a third anti-toppling fixing mechanism. Specifically, The third anti-toppling fixing mechanism is implemented by an anti-toppling support assembly 10. Referring to Figure 6 , the anti-toppling support assembly 10 includes a positioning stud 101, a first pressing plate 102, and a second pressing plate 103. The positioning stud 101 is vertically fixed to the rear side of the bottom plate 8 below the drinking water equipment, and a through-line passage 1011 is formed in the stud. The first pressing plate 102 is fixed to the mounting hole C84 of the bottom plate 8 through the first screw hole 1021, and the second pressing plate 103 is fixed to the mounting hole D86 of the bottom plate 8 through the second screw hole 1031. When the equipment is placed on the countertop, a hole can be opened in the countertop, the positioning stud 101 is inserted from the hole in the countertop, and the positioning nut 11 is screwed into the positioning stud 101 from below the countertop. The locking force is generated by the thread engagement, forming an anti-toppling fixing of the drinking water equipment. This fixing method first uses the countertop as a force point to resist the risk of toppling, and secondly, through hidden installation (the positioning stud 101 and the positioning nut 11 are completely submerged below the countertop), the components are prevented from being exposed, and the appearance of the equipment is kept simple. More importantly, the power cord, data cable, and water pipeline of the drinking water equipment can be directly passed through the line passage 1011 of the positioning stud 101 and then out, avoiding the exposure of the cables and affecting the appearance, and forming a hidden downward wiring channel III, which improves the neatness of the wiring on the rear side of the equipment and significantly optimizes the space utilization of the drinking water equipment.
[0036] It is worth noting that the present application improves the structure of the bottom plate 8 to form the triple anti-toppling fixing mechanism described in Embodiments 1-3. Users can flexibly choose according to the installation conditions: if the customer refuses to drill holes in the countertop, the second support plate 9 is used to expand the anti-toppling scheme, the support plate 9 is fixed to both sides of the bottom plate 8 through the support fixing holes 92, the contact area is increased by using the extended structure of the support plate 9, and the anti-toppling is completely dependent on the physical lever principle; if the customer accepts four small holes in the countertop, the first bolt penetration anchoring scheme can be selected to lock the equipment to the countertop by the mounting hole B82 and the mounting hole C84; if the customer accepts a single through-hole in the countertop and needs to hide the power cord, data cable, and water pipeline, the third anti-toppling support assembly 10 is used to achieve the downward hidden threading of the power cord, data cable, and water pipeline through the line passage 1011, and at the same time, the positioning nut 11 and the positioning stud 101 are locked and fixed to simultaneously solve the wiring and anti-toppling requirements. The three mechanisms can be quickly switched through the standardized hole positions of the bottom plate 8, and the support plate 9 and the positioning stud 101 can be used in combination to form a composite anti-toppling system (see Figure 15 and Figure 16 ), which is suitable for more scene requirements.
[0037] Embodiment 4 In combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the anti-toppling drinking water equipment of the present embodiment is provided with an interface setting area 7 at the bottom, which integrates waterway, power and data interfaces. Specifically: The interface setting area 7 includes a waterway interface 71, a signal interface 72, a power input interface 73, a power output socket 74, a partition 75, a sink 76, a cable guide plate 77, a first buckle 78 and a maintenance cover 79. Among them: The waterway interface 71 is provided at least one, which is used as a water inlet interface of the drinking water equipment. In the present embodiment, two waterway interfaces 71 are provided, one of which is used as a water inlet interface of the drinking water equipment, and the other is used as a wastewater discharge interface. The two waterway interfaces 71 are designed with standardized threads, which support connection with Y-type three-way valves and facilitate switching of water flow direction.
[0038] In combination Figure 18 , the wastewater discharge interface provided in the present embodiment mainly plays a role when the drinking water equipment is connected with a water purification equipment. For example, when the drinking water equipment is connected with a water purification equipment, the pure water outlet interface of the water purification equipment is connected with the water inlet interface of the drinking water equipment, and the pure water purified by the filter element of the water purification equipment flows into the drinking water equipment through the water inlet interface. The wastewater discharge interface of the drinking water equipment is connected with the wastewater pipeline of the water purification equipment. Firstly, when the equipment is used for the first time, a large amount of wastewater generated by flushing the filter element of the water purification equipment can flow into the wastewater pipeline of the water purification equipment through the wastewater discharge interface of the drinking water equipment and be discharged through the wastewater outlet of the water purification equipment. Secondly, when the water purification equipment is placed under the kitchen and the drinking water equipment is located on the countertop, the connection pipeline between the water purification equipment and the drinking water equipment is long, and when the equipment is not used for a long time, stale water may be retained in the connection pipeline. The program can open the drainage mode regularly or manually, so that the stale water in the connection pipeline flows into the wastewater pipeline of the water purification equipment through the wastewater discharge interface and is discharged through the wastewater outlet of the water purification equipment.
[0039] As can be seen, the wastewater discharge interface provided in the interface setting area 7 of the present embodiment serves as a link hub for the cooperation of the drinking water equipment and the water purification equipment, and unifies the high-pollution wastewater generated by the first flushing of the filter element and the stale water retained in the long-distance pipeline into the dedicated wastewater pipeline of the water purification equipment, so that the two types of wastewater are discharged through a single channel, reducing the number of equipment openings and improving the cleanliness of the countertop.
[0040] The signal interface 72 is used for data line connection. When the drinking water equipment is connected with an external equipment such as a water purification equipment, the drinking water equipment serves as the host and sends control instructions such as triggering filter element flushing and adjusting water flow to the water purification equipment through the signal interface 72, and the water purification equipment responds to the instructions to perform actions.
[0041] The power input interface 73 is a main power interface for powering the drinking water equipment.
[0042] The power output socket 74 is an interface for the drinking water equipment to supply power externally. When the drinking water equipment is assembled side by side with the water purification equipment, the power output socket 74 directly supplies power to the water purification equipment, replacing the traditional double-equipment independent power connection mode, reducing the complexity of additional wiring, and making the drinking water equipment a "power supply" for the water purification equipment. When the drinking water equipment and the water purification equipment are installed separately (water purification equipment under the kitchen + drinking water equipment on the countertop), the power output socket 74 can be idle but completely sealed by the maintenance cover 79, without damaging the overall appearance.
[0043] Referring to Figure 17 The core of the embodiment enabling the drinking water equipment to become a "power supply" for the water purification equipment is that after the power input interface 73 is connected to 220V alternating current, the embodiment is designed to have two output paths in parallel through the internal circuit board of the drinking water equipment. The first path is reduced to low-voltage direct current by a voltage conversion module to power core components such as the cold tank 5 and the instant heater 6. The second path directly connects 220V alternating current to the power output socket 74 through a conversion interface. The conversion interface only changes the direction of current transmission and does not make any changes to the voltage, maintaining the output of 220V standard alternating current from the power output socket 74.
[0044] The partition 75 and the sink 76 form an anti-electric shock protection structure in the interface setting area 7. Specifically, the waterway interface 71 bears a large water pressure when connected to external pipelines, and if the seal fails, water will spew out in a jet-like manner. The waterway, power, and data interfaces in the interface setting area 7 are designed in a centralized manner, making the water and power interfaces close to each other. In particular, the power output socket 74 outputs 220V alternating current, which can easily cause an electric shock accident if it comes into contact with water. Therefore, the partition 75 is vertically fixed between the waterway interface 71 and the power interface, dividing the area into two parts. The waterway interface 71 is arranged in one part, and the power input interface 73 and the power output socket 74 are arranged in the other part, with the partition 75 blocking the spread of water.
[0045] Referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 Since the signal interface 72 is a weak current interface specifically used to transmit low-voltage signals, its voltage level is far below the safety threshold, and there is no risk of electric shock. Therefore, even if a small amount of water comes into contact by accident, it will not cause an electrical failure or safety hazard. Therefore, the signal interface 72 can be arranged in the same area as the power input interface 73 and the power output socket 74, or in the same area as the waterway interface 71. In the embodiment, the signal interface 72 is separated from the power input interface 73 and the power output socket 74 by the partition 75, considering the layout of the interface setting area 7.
[0046] At the same time, the two sides of the partition plate 75 are sunk as a whole to form a sink 76. The combination of the partition plate 75 and the sink 76 forms a double waterproof barrier, so that the straight-line distance from the power output socket 74 to the waterway interface 71 is extended. Figure 11 The structure of the interface setting area 7 removing the maintenance cover 79 is shown, and the layout of the sink 76 and the partition plate 75 is clearly visible. This design ensures that even if the waterproof function of the protective cover 741 fails, absolute safety can be ensured through physical isolation.
[0047] The cable guide plate 77 has a limiting plate 771. The design of the cable guide plate 77 allows the power cable and the data cable to naturally bend when they are laid laterally, avoiding twisting. The limiting plate 771 limits the cable in the preset channel, avoiding displacement of the cable harness caused by vibration during equipment operation, ensuring that the cable drawn from the interface setting area 7 can be arranged neatly, significantly improving the aesthetic appearance and wiring reliability.
[0048] Figure 12 The structure of the maintenance cover 79 is shown. The maintenance cover 79 includes a second buckle 791 and an anti-loose protrusion 792. Correspondingly, the sidewall of the interface setting area 7 is provided with a first buckle 78. The maintenance cover 79 is detachably connected through the first buckle 78 and the second buckle 791. The anti-loose protrusion 792 ensures that the maintenance cover 79 does not loosen during equipment vibration. The maintenance cover 79 covers the entire interface setting area 7 from the side of the drinking water equipment, facilitating quick opening for maintenance or replacement of the interface (such as cleaning the waterway interface or checking the cable).
[0049] The design of the interface setting area in this embodiment solves the key problems of the drinking water equipment during installation, use and maintenance, as follows: Two waterway interfaces 71 are connected to a Y-shaped three-way valve, simplifying the waterway configuration (such as for wastewater discharge or pipeline flushing). The signal interface 72 ensures data communication with the water purification equipment. The power output socket 74 supports power supply for external water purification equipment, reducing additional power lines and making multi-device integration more concise. The design of the partition plate 75 and the sink 76 significantly reduces the risk of electric leakage caused by water leakage. The cable guide plate 77 and the limiting plate 771 guide the cable to extend laterally in an orderly manner, avoiding exposure and disorder of the cable. The detachable design of the maintenance cover 79 allows quick access to the interface setting area 7, facilitating daily maintenance.
[0050] Embodiment 5 In combination Figure 13 And Figure 14 To cope with different installation scenarios and avoid exposure and disorder of waterway pipelines, power lines and data lines, affecting the aesthetic appearance. The drinking water equipment of this embodiment also improves the structure of the bottom plate 8 to realize a three-way wiring channel design, i.e., a lateral wiring channel I, a rearward wiring channel II and a downward wiring channel III. The structure design of the three wiring channels is described in detail as follows: The lateral wiring channel I is a lateral cable outlet directly exposed after the removal of the maintenance cover 79 of the interface setting area 7, which allows the power line, data line and water pipeline to directly pass out laterally. Among them, the cable guide plate 77 arranged in the interface setting area 7 restrains the power line and data line to change the direction of the arc and then pass out laterally from the interface setting area, ensuring that the cables drawn out from the interface setting area 7 are arranged neatly, improving the aesthetic appearance and wiring reliability.
[0051] The rear wiring channel II is realized through the cooperation of the bottom plate 8 and the anti-tilt support assembly 10. Referring to Figure 2 , the bottom plate 8 is opened on one side wall of the interface setting area 7, and a longitudinal through slot is formed along the length direction of the bottom plate 8 from the opening as a starting point, which extends to the rear end of the bottom plate 8 (i.e. the rear end of the water dispensing equipment). A partition plate 89 is arranged in the longitudinal through slot to divide the longitudinal through slot into multiple independent guide slots 85. The number of the guide slots 85 can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the longitudinal through slot is divided into four independent guide slots 85 corresponding to the power line, data line, water inlet pipe and wastewater discharge pipe, respectively. The guide slots 85 are directly connected to the rear end of the water dispensing equipment to form four exposed outlets (see Figure 14 ).
[0052] Combined with Figure 8 , when the countertop fixing scheme of the anti-tilt support assembly 10 is adopted, the first pressing plate 102 is fixed through the first screw hole 1021 and the mounting hole C84 of the bottom plate 8, and the second pressing plate 103 is fixed through the second screw hole 1031 and the mounting hole D86 of the bottom plate 8. The second pressing plate 103 is longitudinally expanded and locked to the bottom of the water dispensing equipment to form a bottom support, which restricts the cables to extend rearwardly only in the corresponding guide slots 85, eliminating the risk of cable sagging and bending. Among them, the longitudinal expansion of the second pressing plate 103 means that the second pressing plate 103 is expanded along the length direction of the water dispensing equipment body or the bottom plate 8.
[0053] Combined with Figure 5 and FIG. 9, when the countertop fixing scheme of the anti-tilt support assembly 10 is not adopted, the positioning card 12 can be used instead for cable positioning. The positioning card 12 includes a card fixing hole 121 and side pressing members 122 arranged on both sides of the card fixing hole 121. The card fixing hole 121 is bolted and locked with the mounting hole D86 of the bottom plate 8, and the side pressing members 122 form a bottom support to restrict the cables to extend rearwardly only in the corresponding guide slots 85, eliminating the risk of cable sagging and bending.
[0054] The side pressing piece 122 can be provided with a clamping protrusion 123 and a clamping groove 124 as shown in (b) of FIG. 9 according to requirements. The clamping protrusion 123 mainly functions to be clamped between the cable and the side wall of the guide groove 85 when the width of the guide groove 85 is greater than the diameter of the cable, so as to fix the cable and prevent the cable from moving greatly. The clamping groove 124 forms a semi-closed cavity on the side wall of the side pressing piece 122, and cooperates with the guide groove 85 to form a larger cavity passage when the diameter of the cable is larger, so as to facilitate the cable to pass along the preset path.
[0055] The structural core of the downward wiring passage III is the innovative design of the anti-tilting support assembly 10. The positioning stud 101 is vertically fixed to the rear side of the bottom plate 8 below the drinking water equipment, and a through-type wire passage 1011 is formed in the stud. The wire passage 1011 allows the power line, the data line and the water line to directly pass downward.
[0056] When the drinking water equipment is placed on the countertop, the positioning stud 101 is passed downward through the hole of the countertop, and the first pressing plate 102 and the second pressing plate 103 are unfolded to support the bottom of the drinking water equipment. At the same time, the positioning nut 11 is screwed from below to lock, the power line, the data line and the water line led out from the interface setting area 7 are first extended after the guide groove 85, and then the cable is naturally guided into the wire passage 1011. This hidden design not only significantly improves the neatness and aesthetics of the drinking water equipment wiring, optimizes the space utilization rate by avoiding cable exposure, but also simultaneously realizes the anti-tilting fixing function, reduces the maintenance requirement and enhances the overall safety. The downward wiring passage III is particularly suitable for the scene of under-kitchen installation of water purification equipment and placement of drinking water equipment on the countertop.
[0057] It is worth noting that in the structure of the bottom plate 8 of the drinking water equipment, a special drainage hole 87 is arranged corresponding to the bottom drainage port position of the cold tank 5. The design of the drainage hole 87 is to solve the problem of accumulated stale water in the cold tank 5 for a long time. In the normal state, a drainage plug 14 can be arranged at the drainage hole 87 to plug the drainage port at the bottom of the cold tank 5, so that a sealed state is formed in the cold tank 5, effectively preventing water leakage in the cold tank 5 and ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the equipment in daily operation. In another embodiment, a drainage hose can be connected to the bottom of the cold tank 5 corresponding to the drainage hole 87. The hose can also be selected to extend outside the drinking water equipment through any one of the three-way wiring passages, so as to realize the drainage of the stale water in the cold tank 5.
[0058] The drinking water equipment of the embodiment significantly improves installation flexibility and space adaptability through three wiring channel designs. The lateral wiring channel I allows the power line, data line and water pipeline to pass through the lateral side of the interface setting area 7, and is suitable for the side-by-side assembly scene of the drinking water equipment and the water purification equipment. The power line, data line and water pipeline of the drinking water equipment can be connected to the corresponding interface of the water purification equipment in the shortest path. The rear wiring channel II forms an independent guide groove 85 through the partition plate 89 of the bottom plate 8, and naturally guides the cable along the rear side of the equipment to hide, which is especially suitable for the use scene of the equipment being against the wall. The downward wiring channel III realizes vertical wiring through the wire passage 1011 of the anti-tilt support assembly 10. When the under-kitchen water purification equipment is combined with the countertop drinking water equipment, all connection pipelines are completely hidden through the countertop hole, and the anti-tilt and wiring disorder problems are solved at the same time. The three wiring channels can be freely selected by the user, greatly improving the user experience.
[0059] It is worth noting that in the above embodiment, when the drinking water equipment is connected to other equipment, the water purification equipment is mainly introduced as a typical example. In fact, the connection compatibility of the drinking water equipment of the present application is far from limited to water purification equipment. The drinking water equipment can flexibly adapt to the collaborative needs of various small household appliances through the standardized waterway interface 71, signal interface 72 and 220V power output socket 74 of the interface setting area 7, such as coffee machines, beverage machines, tea machines, milk frothing machines, humidifiers, etc. The connection mode of the drinking water equipment and the external equipment can be freely combined, such as fixing the external equipment and the drinking water equipment side by side, or connecting the drinking water equipment and the external equipment through a pipeline to form a split design.
[0060] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation, direct / indirect application in other related technical fields based on the inventive concept of the present application and the content of the specification and drawings are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
