Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drinking water equipment, in particular to the technical field of drinking water equipment with visual and intuitive observation of heating conditions. [Background technology]

[0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards, people's requirements for drinking water quality and conditions are constantly increasing. There are also various styles and functions of drinking water equipment on the market to meet the needs of different users.

[0003] Most of the existing drinking water equipment used in daily indoor environments are water dispensers, fast-heating electric kettles, etc. The temperature of water dispensers generally cannot reach the boiling temperature, and the heating process of traditional fast-heating electric kettles requires waiting. At the same time, both of the above products have a process of repeated heating or repeated boiling. This repeated process will easily produce nitrite.

[0004] At present, the most common and widely used method is electric kettle heating, which requires 5 to 10 minutes to heat up. In addition, water dispensers are more common in office settings. Water dispensers need to meet the needs of random drinking of hot water and need to be kept warm for a long time, so they are in a state of repeated heating. This is also considered by the industry to be an unhealthy way of drinking water.

[0005] In more high-end occasions, people may consider installing integral pipeline machines or wall-mounted water dispensers. There are also products that use instant heating technology to achieve instant hot water with controllable temperature using high-power heating technology. This type of equipment generally has a sealed structure and remains sealed. Users can only simply see the temperature of 95°C or 100°C displayed on the surface of the machine. However, in fact, some detection errors or machine system design problems may result in the actual temperature not being reached, and users do not actually get the expected temperature water effect. [Summary of the invention]

[0006] The utility model aims at the problems existing in the existing drinking water equipment and proposes a drinking water equipment which overcomes the above problems and adopts visualization technology. By setting a visualization window in the heating stage or the heating to water outlet stage, the user can directly observe the state of internal heating to boiling, independently judge the time to stop heating, and obtain real boiling water.

[0007] The utility model relates to a drinking water device with a visual device, comprising the following structures: a water pump, a thermometer, a heating body, a water outlet, an electric control board and an equipment casing, wherein the water pump transports water to the heating body through a pipeline, and then to the water outlet after passing through the heating body, the electric control board controls the heating body and the thermometer, and the above-mentioned water pump, thermometer, heating body and electric control board are integrated in the equipment casing, characterized in that the thermometer comprises an inlet thermometer and an outlet thermometer, which are respectively arranged at the water inlet end and the water outlet end of the heating body, and are connected to the water outlet through the water outlet end of the heating body; a visual device is provided close to the water outlet end of the heating body, the visual device is a section of movably mounted transparent structure, which is installed between the heating body and the water outlet through a movable connection interface, and a perspective window is provided on the equipment casing, and the spatial position of the visual device corresponds to the position of the perspective window.

[0008] The visualization device includes a perspective mirror, a perspective tube, a sealing ring and a transparent end cap, wherein the perspective mirror is embedded and installed on the perspective window, and the openings at both ends of the perspective tube are respectively connected to the water outlet end and the water outlet end of the heating body, and a transparent end cap and a sealing ring that seals the transparent end cap are provided at the opening.

[0009] The visualization device further comprises a backlight cover, which is arranged opposite to the perspective mirror symmetrically with respect to the perspective tube.

[0010] The visualization device further includes a fill light component, which includes a fill light slot and a fill light lamp arranged in the fill light slot.

[0011] Furthermore, the fill light is preferably arranged at the water inlet opening of the visualization device.

[0012] The fill light is an LED lamp or a fluorescent lamp.

[0013] The perspective mirror is a plane mirror, a single-sided convex lens or a double-sided convex lens.

[0014] If the perspective tube is a tube with a large diameter, a plane mirror can be used; if the perspective tube is a tube with a small diameter, a single-sided lens can be used.

[0015] Moreover, the convex surface of the convex lens can be determined to be inside or outside according to the appearance requirements; if the diameter of the quartz tube of the heating device is very small, for the minimum diameter tube, the magnification effect of the single-sided convex lens is insufficient, and a double-sided convex lens can be used to ensure the display effect of the perspective window.

[0016] The backlight cover is made of reflective materials with different reflectivity and different colors.

[0017] The working process of drinking water equipment is as follows:

[0018] Step 1: Receive water discharge instruction.

[0019] Step 2: Turn on the fill light and the heating system at the same time. The fill light is set at the water inlet or outlet, preferably at the water inlet.

[0020] Step 3: If the diameter of the perspective tube is relatively large, then a plane mirror can be used; if the diameter of the perspective tube is relatively small, a single-sided lens can be used, and the convex surface of the convex lens can be determined to be inside or outside according to the appearance requirements; if the diameter is very small and the magnification effect of the single-sided convex lens is insufficient, a double-sided convex lens can be used to ensure the display effect of the perspective window.

[0021] Step 4: Turn off the heating system and fill light after water extraction.

[0022] The utility model relates to a visualized drinking water device, which is a drinking water device whose heating element itself is made of invisible materials. A transparent visualization device is added in the heating and water outlet link, so that the user can directly observe the heating state of the water inside the drinking water device through the visualization device. The lens can be a plane mirror, a single-sided convex lens, or a double-sided convex lens. Since the light inside the whole machine is very weak, a fill light is added at the water inlet opening of the perspective tube, so that the interface between water and bubbles will have optical phenomena such as reflection and refraction, further optimizing the user's visual experience.
