[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The descriptions in this section are merely illustrative and explanatory, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. Specifically, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0026] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.
[0027] As mentioned in the background technology, in order to provide drivers with a better driving experience, there are more and more types of in-vehicle equipment. Some vehicles now have in-vehicle beverage equipment installed in the armrests. By adding various drinking water, beverages or coffee to the in-vehicle beverage equipment, drivers can have a better experience.
[0028] Currently, the water tanks of most car beverage devices on the market can be removed for refilling. However, after removing the tank, there is no structure to cover the bottom water inlet where the device connects to the tank. This leaves residual water exposed to the air, making it susceptible to contamination from dust or impurities. Furthermore, if the tank is no longer needed after removal, the space where it was placed becomes empty, and this space is not utilized effectively, limiting its functionality to simply accommodating the water tank.
[0029] In view of the problems in the prior art, the first aspect of this application provides a water supply device 200, and the second aspect of this application provides a vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000.
[0030] The following is a reference to the instruction manual. Figures 1-9 Please describe the water supply device 200 in detail.
[0031] like Figures 1-3 and Figure 8 As shown, the water supply device 200 is detachably connected to the vehicle-mounted beverage equipment 1000 to supply water to the vehicle-mounted beverage equipment 1000 or to serve as a drinking water container. Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the water supply device 200 includes a water tank assembly 201, an adapter assembly 120, and a valve assembly 240. The adapter assembly 120 has an inlet end 121 and an outlet end 122, forming a water flow channel between the inlet end 121 and the outlet end 122. The outlet end 122 is used to connect to the extraction water pipe of the extraction mechanism. The water tank assembly 201 has a vent 225 at the top and a water outlet 250 at the bottom.
[0032] Among them, such as Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the water tank assembly 201 is mounted on the adapter assembly 120, and the valve assembly 240 is movably and sealably connected to the water outlet 250 and is detachably connected to the water inlet 121. When the valve assembly 240 is in the open state, the water outlet 250 is connected to the water flow channel. When the valve assembly 240 is in the open state, the vent 225 is connected to the water flow channel through the interior of the water tank assembly 201 to form an airflow channel.
[0033] According to the first aspect of this application, a water supply device 200 unifies the two modes of "water supply" and "drinking water". This water supply device 200 can serve as a water source for a vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000, and can also be used as an independent water cup, thus enriching its functionality. When the water supply device 200 is removed, the water outlet 250 can be sealed by the valve assembly 240 to prevent water leakage. When the water supply device 200 is connected to the vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000, the valve assembly 240 can be opened, and water can be supplied to the vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000 through the water supply device 200.
[0034] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the water tank assembly 201 has an overall cup-shaped structure that is easy to hold. When it is installed on the device as a water supply device 200, its lower water outlet 250 connects with the water inlet 121 of the adapter assembly 120. The valve assembly 240 acts as a seal here, ensuring that the water supply device 200 will not leak when it is removed from the vehicle beverage device 1000 or when it is not in operation. When the valve assembly 240 is opened, the water flow channel is opened. At the same time, the vent 225 located on the upper part of the water tank 210 forms an airflow channel with the water flow channel through the interior of the water tank 210, allowing air to continuously enter the interior of the water tank 210, balancing the air pressure, thereby ensuring a stable water output and overcoming the problem of poor water flow caused by negative pressure. When the user needs to drink water directly, simply remove the entire water supply device 200 from the vehicle beverage device 1000, and it immediately becomes a well-sealed, portable drinking cup, greatly expanding the product's usage scenarios and convenience.
[0035] The following is in conjunction with the instruction manual appendix. Figures 1-16 The second aspect of this application describes the vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000.
[0036] According to the second aspect of this application, the vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a housing 100, an adapter component 120, and a water supply device 200. A portion of the housing 100 is recessed inward to form a receiving groove 110, and the bottom of the receiving groove 110 has a mounting through hole 111. The water supply device 200 is the water supply device 200 described in the first aspect above. At least a portion of the water tank assembly 201 of the water supply device 200 is adapted to be received within the receiving groove 110. The water outlet 250 of the water tank assembly 201 is used to supply extracted water to the extraction mechanism of the vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000. The adapter component 120 of the water supply device 200 is installed at a position corresponding to the mounting through hole 111.
[0037] According to the second aspect of this application, the vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000 provides a dedicated storage and working space for the water supply device 200 through a receiving slot 110, exhibiting a high degree of structural integration. The shape of the receiving slot 110 is adapted to the lower contour of the water tank assembly 201, stably supporting the water supply device 200. When the water supply device 200 is placed in the receiving slot 110, they together constitute a complete beverage preparation system. When the water supply device 200 is removed and used as a water cup, the space can be repurposed, achieving efficient space utilization.
[0038] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9 As shown, a portion of the housing 100 is recessed, and a detachable cup holder 101 is provided in the recess. The interior of the cup holder 101 has a receiving space, namely the receiving groove 110. A magnet 102 may be provided at the bottom of the cup holder 101, and the position of the cup holder 101 is ensured by magnetic attraction between the magnet 102 and other structures.
[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the valve assembly 240 is located inside the water outlet 250. The valve assembly 240 can be moved in a direction away from the mounting through hole 111 by magnetic attraction to open the water outlet 250. Specifically, the opening of the valve assembly 240 is controlled by electromagnetic force, enabling rapid and precise electronic control of the valve. The control system of the vehicle-mounted beverage equipment 1000 can precisely open the valve when water supply is needed, without the need for complex mechanical linkage mechanisms, and has a fast response speed, which helps to realize the automation and intelligent control of the equipment.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 8 As shown, the water outlet 122 is connected to the suction pump 600 of the vehicle-mounted beverage equipment 1000, and is used to pump extracted water to the extraction mechanism. The suction force of the suction pump 600 is used to open the valve assembly 240.
[0041] Specifically, the valve assembly 240 is opened by utilizing the negative pressure generated by the suction pump 600 itself. This eliminates the need for additional drive components and control circuits, resulting in a simple structure, low cost, and high reliability.
[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the side of the sealing piston 241 facing the water flow channel can have a flow-facing area. When the suction pump 600 starts and generates negative pressure in the water flow channel, this pressure difference acts on the flow-facing surface of the sealing piston 241, forming an opening force sufficient to overcome the preload of the elastic element 243.
[0043] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the valve assembly 240 includes a sealing piston 241 and an elastic element 243. The sealing piston 241 seals the water outlet 250 under the action of the elastic element 243.
[0044] Specifically, under the preload of the elastic element 243, the sealing piston 241 tightly seals the water outlet hole 250, ensuring absolute sealing and preventing leakage during vehicle vibrations or when the device is removed. This structure is adaptive, has excellent sealing performance, long service life, and high reliability.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the water tank assembly 201 includes a water tank 210 and a cover assembly 220. The cover assembly 220 is detachably and sealingly connected to the water inlet of the water tank 210. The vent 225 is provided in either the water tank 210 or the cover assembly 220.
[0046] Specifically, the cover assembly 220 is connected to the water tank 210 and is sealed by the first sealing ring 224. A vent 225 can be located on the water tank 210 or on the cover assembly 220. This design allows users to easily open the cover assembly 220 for thorough cleaning or direct water addition, solving the hygiene concerns associated with the inconvenience of cleaning traditional integrated water tanks.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 As shown, the adapter component 120 is provided with a push rod 123. When the water tank component 201 is placed in the receiving groove 110, the push rod 123 pushes the sealing piston 241 to move so that the valve component 240 opens the water outlet 250, and the receiving cavity of the water tank component 201 is connected to the water flow channel.
[0048] Specifically, when the user places the water supply device 200 into the receiving tank 110, the push rod 123 will rise accordingly, actively pushing open the sealing piston 241, thereby opening the valve assembly 240. This process is completed automatically without any additional operation by the user, achieving the convenient experience of "water supply upon placement," while also having a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.
[0049] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 10-16 As shown, the vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000 also includes a dust cover 300, which can cover the mounting through hole 111 after the water supply device 200 is removed from the receiving tank 110.
[0050] Specifically, after the water supply device 200 is removed, the dust cover 300 can promptly cover the installation through hole 111, effectively preventing dust and impurities from falling into the water inlet 121 of the adapter component 120. This avoids the risk of residual water being contaminated and pipe blockage, ensuring the hygiene of the beverages and the long-term stable operation of the equipment. In addition, after the water tank 210 is removed, if it is no longer needed, the space where the water tank 210 was originally placed will be empty. This space is covered by the dust cover 300 and forms a support position, which can be used as a place to place items.
[0051] Furthermore, the dust cover 300 can cover the mounting through-hole 111 and its surrounding area, forming a physical barrier. In some embodiments, the edges of the dust cover 300 may have slight chamfers or soft edging to facilitate placement and smooth engagement with the receiving groove 110, while avoiding scratches to the user or the surface of the equipment.
[0052] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 10 As shown, the bottom of the receiving groove 110 is provided with a first magnetic member 1, and the dust cover 300 is a metal part that can be magnetically attracted to the first magnetic member 1.
[0053] Specifically, the dust cover 300 can be magnetically attracted to the first magnetic component 1, making it very convenient to put on and take off the dust cover 300 through magnetic fixation. The user only needs to bring the dust cover close to the mounting hole, and the magnet will automatically attract it into place. This design improves the convenience of use and user experience.
[0054] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 11 As shown, the side wall of the dust cover 300 is provided with an opening 310, which allows the user to easily remove the dust cover 300 from the receiving groove 110.
[0055] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 12-16 As shown, the dust cover 300 is pivotally disposed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 110. The dust cover 300 can rotate between a first position and a second position to open or cover the mounting through hole 111.
[0056] Specifically, by connecting the dust cover 300 to the inner wall of the receiving groove 110, the problem of the independent dust cover 300 potentially being lost is solved. Combined with... Figures 13 to 16 The pivoting design allows the dust cover to open and close like a door; simply unscrew it when in use and close it when not in use, making it easy to operate.
[0057] The first position is where the dust cover 300 is upright and the mounting through hole 111 is open, and the second position is where the dust cover 300 can close the mounting through hole 111.
[0058] like Figures 13-15 As shown, the dust cover 300 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 110 via a pivot structure. Integrating the dust cover with the main body of the vehicle-mounted beverage device 1000 avoids the problem of managing small parts, making it very suitable for scenarios that require frequent access to the water supply device, and enhancing the overall look and quality of the product.
[0059] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the inner wall of the receiving groove 110 has a communicating groove 112. When the dust cover 300 is in the first position, the dust cover 300 is received in the communicating groove 112 to open the mounting through hole 111. When the dust cover 300 is in the second position, the dust cover 300 covers the mounting through hole 111.
[0060] Specifically, the design of the connecting slot 112 allows the dust cover 300 to be fully embedded in the slot when opened, with the surface of the dust cover 300 flush with the inner wall of the receiving slot 110. This ensures that the water supply device 200 is not obstructed while maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetics of the internal space of the equipment. When the dust cover 300 is in the second position, it forms a supporting platform structure, which can both cover the mounting hole 111 to prevent dust or impurities from entering the interior of the vehicle-mounted beverage equipment 1000 through the mounting hole 111, and also serve as a supporting platform structure for placing items.
[0061] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 14 As shown, the receiving groove is provided with a second magnetic suction member 2, and the dust cover 300 is provided with a third magnetic suction member 320. When the dust cover 300 is in the first position, the second magnetic suction member 2 and the third magnetic suction member 320 are attracted and engaged, and the bottom wall of the dust cover 300 and the inner wall surface of the placement groove 110 are on the same plane.
[0062] Specifically, the magnetic attraction between the third magnetic member 320 and the second magnetic member 2 securely holds the dust cover 300, which is in the open state, within the communicating groove 112. This ensures that the dust cover 300 will not close on its own or produce abnormal noise when vibration occurs during vehicle operation, while also ensuring that it is flush with the groove wall, providing a flat support surface for the placement of the water supply device 200.
[0063] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 14-16 As shown, the lower surface of the dust cover 300 is provided with a sealing plug 330, and the upper surface of the dust cover 300 is provided with a water cup groove 340.
[0064] Specifically, the sealing plug 330 on the lower surface of the dust cover 300 can be tightly inserted into the mounting through hole 111 when closed, forming an active seal and providing better dust and leakage prevention. The cup slot 340 on its upper surface is converted into a cup holder, which can be used to place coffee powder capsules, sugar packets or water cups, greatly enhancing the practicality of the space and the functionality of the product.
[0065] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the lid assembly 220 has a handle 222. The handle 222 makes it more convenient and effortless to carry the water supply device 200 as a water cup, further enhancing its portability as an independent drinking container and improving the user experience.
[0066] Specifically, the handle 222 can be designed as an arched bridge structure, with both ends firmly connected to the cover assembly 220 body, forming a space in the middle that allows fingers to pass through. The handle 222 and the cover assembly 220 can be integrally injection molded, ensuring structural strength. Its surface can be further smoothed or treated with an anti-slip finish to ensure comfortable grip.
[0067] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the water tank assembly 201 also includes an opening and closing assembly 230, which is disposed between the water tank 210 and the cover assembly 220. The opening and closing assembly 230 includes a sliding plate 232 and a connecting rod 234 that are pivotally connected. The cover assembly 220 opens and closes the water inlet of the water tank 210 by pivoting the sliding plate 232 and the connecting rod 234.
[0068] Specifically, the opening and closing component 230 is a linkage mechanism that facilitates opening or closing the cover component 220, eliminating the need for rotating the cover component 220 and making it safer and more convenient to add water with one hand while driving.
[0069] Furthermore, the sliding plate 232 of the opening and closing assembly 230 is provided with a groove 235, which cooperates with the hinge support 233 fixed on the cover assembly 220 or the water tank 210.
