[0041] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 9 The water inlet waterway assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0042] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, according to the embodiment of the utility model, the water inlet waterway assembly 100 includes a water inlet waterway plate 1 and a water diversion pool 2. The water inlet waterway plate 1 and the water diversion pool 2 are integrated components. The water inlet waterway plate 1 has a first water inlet flow channel 11 and a second water inlet flow channel 12. That is, water can be stored in the water diversion pool 2. The water stored in the water diversion pool 2 can flow out from the first water inlet flow channel 11 or from the second water inlet flow channel 12. By making the water inlet waterway plate 1 and the water diversion pool 2 integrally formed, the connection points between the water inlet waterway plate 1 and the water diversion pool 2 can be reduced, and the water inlet can be simplified. The installation process of the water channel assembly 100 reduces the assembly steps and time, and also makes maintenance and inspection more convenient and quick. In addition, the one-piece design can reduce potential leakage points and improve the sealing performance between the water inlet water channel plate 1 and the water distribution tank 2. The one-piece design also makes the water inlet water channel assembly 100 have better structural stability and pressure resistance, which can reduce failures caused by loose joints or component wear, and can effectively extend the service life of the water inlet water channel assembly 100. In addition, the integrated design contributes to a compact layout and can better save installation space.

[0043] Optionally, the integrated component can be manufactured using injection molding, casting or 3D printing and other manufacturing technologies, which can achieve highly precise dimensional control and the design of complex internal structures, which is conducive to improving the performance of the integrated component.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the water inlet waterway assembly 100 of the present invention is applied to a water dispenser 1000 as an example. The water dispenser 1000 includes a refrigeration tank 200 and a heating tank 300. One end of the first water inlet flow channel 11 is connected to the water diversion pool 2, and the other end is connected to the refrigeration tank 200. One end of the second water inlet flow channel 12 is connected to the water diversion pool 2, and the other end is connected to the heating tank 300. That is to say, the present invention can make the water diversion pool 2 storing normal temperature water, the refrigeration tank 200 storing cold water, and the heating tank 300 storing hot water separately designed by constructing the water inlet waterway plate 1 and the water diversion pool 2 as an integrated component, so as to avoid the cold water stored in the refrigeration tank 200 or the hot water stored in the heating tank 300 from affecting the temperature of the normal temperature water in the water diversion pool 2.

[0045] Moreover, in the related technology, the industry generally adopts that the normal temperature water of the water dispenser is discharged from the upper part of the cold tank, the water inlet of the hot tank is connected to the bottom of the cold tank, and the hot tank water replenishment needs to pass through the cold tank, which is equivalent to the cold tank being a distribution container for various water of the entire machine. Specifically, a plastic diverter plate is used to separate the upper and lower areas inside the cold tank, and the upper and lower areas are connected. After the bottled water from the water dispenser enters the cold tank, the water from the upper area of ​​the cold tank is room temperature water, and the cold water is discharged from the bottom of the lower area of ​​the cold tank. Such a traditional design will cause the first few cups of room temperature water to be colder when room temperature water is not taken for a long time (for example, more than 1 hour). Because room temperature water is not taken for a long time, the cold tank will cool all the water inside to the same set low temperature. In addition, the volume of the room temperature water storage area in the industry is small, and taking room temperature water for a long time will cause obvious flow attenuation and interruption problems. The water inlet to the hot tank also passes through the room temperature water area on the upper part of the cold tank, passes through the central pipe of the diverter plate inside the cold tank, and enters the hot tank. The water inlet to the hot tank will also be colder, reducing heating efficiency and increasing energy consumption.

[0046] The utility model adopts an independent normal temperature water tank design, that is, the water inlet waterway plate 1 and the water diversion pool 2 are constructed as an integrated component. Normal temperature water and cold water are not in the same storage container, and normal temperature water and hot water are not in the same storage container. The water replenishment of the refrigeration tank 200 and the water replenishment of the heating tank 300 of the water dispenser 1000 are both replenished with the normal temperature water diversion pool 2 in the water diversion pool 2, ensuring that the water entering the refrigeration tank 200 and the heating tank 300 is all normal temperature water, thereby reducing the temperature series of the water channel inside the water dispenser 1000, and can reduce the energy consumption of cooling the refrigeration tank 200 or heating the heating tank 300.

[0047] Since the water inlet waterway plate 1 and the water diversion pool 2 of the utility model are constructed as an integrated component, the volume of the water diversion pool 2 can be constructed according to actual needs. For example, the volume of the water diversion pool 2 can be increased according to actual needs, which can help ensure the stability of the flow rate of the water dispenser 1000 when normal temperature water is discharged for a long time.

[0048] According to the water inlet waterway assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by constructing the water inlet waterway plate 1 and the water diversion tank 2 as an integrated component, the installation process of the water inlet waterway assembly 100 can be simplified, the assembly steps and time can be reduced, and maintenance and inspection can be made more convenient and quicker. In addition, the one-piece design can reduce potential leakage points and improve the sealing performance between the water inlet waterway plate 1 and the water diversion tank 2. The one-piece design also makes the water inlet waterway assembly 100 have better structural stability and pressure resistance, can reduce failures caused by loose joints or component wear, and can effectively extend the service life of the water inlet waterway assembly 100. In addition, the integrated design contributes to a compact layout and can better save installation space.

[0049] It should be noted that the above examples are merely examples of the normal temperature water in the water-dividing pool 2, the cold water in the refrigerating tank 200, and the hot water in the heating tank 300, and are not intended to limit the present application. That is, through the water inlet channel assembly 100, the liquid in one state in the water-dividing pool 2 can be transported to two containers with different liquid processing functions through the first water inlet channel 11 and the second water inlet channel 12, respectively, so that the liquid in the water-dividing pool 2 can produce other states. Therefore, it can be understood that when the water inlet channel assembly 100 is not applied to the water dispenser 1000 having the refrigerating tank 200 and the heating tank 300, the water in the water-dividing pool 2 can also flow out directly through the first water inlet channel 11, and the water in the water-dividing pool 2 only passes through the second water inlet channel 12 to enter other water treatment containers to change the state of the water, such as the change in the temperature of the water, or the change in the form, which can be changed from a liquid state to a gaseous state, and the present application does not limit this, and will not be repeated in the following examples.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the water inlet waterway plate 1 also has a first water outlet flow channel 13, one end of the first water outlet flow channel 13 is connected to the water diversion tank 2, and the other end is connected to the first water outlet pipe of the water dispenser 1000. In other words, the water in the water diversion tank 2 can not only provide normal temperature water to the refrigeration tank 200 and the heating tank 300, but also be directly used by users, that is, the water in the water diversion tank 2 can enter the first water outlet pipe of the water dispenser 1000 through the first water outlet flow channel 13, so that the water dispenser 1000 can not only use the cold water in the refrigeration tank 200 and the hot water in the heating tank 300, but also use the normal temperature water in the water diversion tank 2. Therefore, the water inlet waterway assembly 100 of the utility model can not only store normal temperature water well, but also divert and use normal temperature water well, with strong flexibility and good practicality, so that users can use it according to actual needs, which can improve the user's experience.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first water inlet channel 11 and / or the second water inlet channel 12 are connected to the first water outlet channel 13. Exemplarily, the first water inlet channel 11 is connected to the first water outlet channel 13; Exemplarily, the second water inlet channel 12 is connected to the first water outlet channel 13; Exemplarily, the first water inlet channel 11 and the second water inlet channel 12 are both connected to the first water outlet channel 13. For the above example, take the connection between the second water inlet channel 12 and the first water outlet channel 13 as an example, that is to say, the water in the water distribution pool 2 can enter the second water inlet channel 12 through the first water outlet channel 13, and then enter the heating tank 300 through the second water inlet channel 12, or the water in the water distribution pool 2 can enter the first water outlet channel 13 through the second water inlet channel 12, and then enter the first water outlet pipe through the first water outlet channel 13 to flow out. By connecting the second water inlet channel 12 with the first water outlet channel 13, the fluid can be merged or distributed, and the pressure between different parts of the pipeline system can be maintained, thereby avoiding damage to the water inlet waterway plate 1 due to excessive pressure difference.

[0052] Alternatively, if Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the water diversion pool 2 has a first water inlet 21 and a second water inlet 22, the first water inlet channel 11 is connected to the first water inlet 21, the first water outlet channel 13 is connected to the second water inlet 22, and the second water inlet channel 12 is connected to the first water outlet channel 13. That is to say, the second water inlet channel 12 and the first water outlet channel 13 can share a second water inlet 22, so that the water in the water diversion pool 2 can enter the refrigeration tank 200 through the first water inlet 21 and the first water inlet channel 11; the water in the water diversion pool 2 can flow out through the second water inlet 22 and the first water outlet channel 13; the water in the water diversion pool 2 can enter the heating tank 300 through the second water inlet 22, the first water outlet channel 13 and the second water inlet channel 12. The second water inlet channel 12 and the first water outlet channel 13 can share a second water inlet port 22, which can reduce the number of water inlets constructed in the water diversion pool 2, optimize the channel arrangement in the water inlet waterway plate 1, and shorten the length of the second water inlet channel 12. In addition, the water in the water diversion pool 2 passes through the first water outlet channel 13 and the second water inlet channel 12 before entering the heating tank 300, which can form a certain buffer for the water and prevent the water from directly entering the heating tank 300 due to the large water pressure when the water diversion pool 2 enters the second water inlet channel 12, thereby preventing the water pressure from impacting the heating tank 300, thereby protecting the heating tank 300 and extending the service life of the heating tank 300.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 9As shown, the water inlet waterway plate 1 also has a second water outlet flow channel 14, one end of which is connected to the refrigeration tank 200, and the other end is connected to the second water outlet pipe. In other words, the cold water in the refrigeration tank 200 can flow out from the second water outlet flow channel 14 and the second water inlet pipe. By integrating the second water outlet flow channel 14 on the water inlet waterway plate 1, the water inlet and outlet of the refrigeration tank 200 both pass through the water inlet waterway plate 1, which can improve the integrated design of the water inlet waterway plate 1, facilitate the compact layout of the pipeline and the flow channel, and save installation space.

[0054] Alternatively, if Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the water inlet waterway plate 1 also has a first exhaust channel 16, and the first exhaust channel 16 is connected to the refrigeration tank 200, that is, the gas in the refrigeration tank 200 can flow out from the first exhaust channel 16. For example, when the water in the water diversion pool 2 enters the refrigeration tank 200 through the first water inlet channel 11, the gas in the refrigeration tank 200 can flow out from the first exhaust channel 16. Thereby, the gas in the refrigeration tank 200 can reduce the obstruction of the water flowing from the first water inlet channel 11 toward the refrigeration tank 200, so that the water in the water diversion pool 2 can enter the refrigeration tank 200 more smoothly. It can be understood that if the first exhaust channel 16 is not provided, when the water in the water diversion pool 2 enters the refrigeration tank 200 through the first water inlet channel 11, the gas in the refrigeration tank 200 will flow back from the first exhaust channel 16 to the water diversion pool 2 under the pressure of the water, thereby generating a large number of bubbles in the water diversion pool 2, and these gases flowing back in the first exhaust channel 16 are also likely to obstruct the water, affecting the transportation of water toward the refrigeration tank 200.

[0055] In one example, if Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the first water inlet channel 11 has a first connecting pipe 111, the second water outlet channel 14 has a second connecting pipe 141, and the first exhaust channel 16 has a third connecting pipe 161. The first connecting pipe 111, the second connecting pipe 141 and the third connecting pipe 161 are spaced apart along the first direction, and the axis of the first connecting pipe 111, the axis of the second connecting pipe 141 and the axis of the third connecting pipe 161 are coplanar. In other words, the refrigeration tank 200 can be connected to the first connecting pipe 111, the second connecting pipe 141 and the third connecting pipe 161, and the connection method can be plug-in matching. By making the first connecting pipe 111, the second connecting pipe 141 and the third connecting pipe 161 spaced apart along the first direction, and the axis of the first connecting pipe 111, the axis of the second connecting pipe 141 and the axis of the third connecting pipe 161 are coplanar, the difficulty of assembling the refrigeration tank 200 can be reduced and the assembly efficiency of the refrigeration tank 200 can be improved. The first direction here can refer to the attached Figure 1 The front-to-back direction.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 9As shown, the water inlet waterway plate 1 also has a first water outlet channel 13 and a third water outlet channel 15, the first water outlet channel 13 is connected between the water distribution pool 2 and the first water outlet pipe of the water dispenser 1000, and the third water outlet channel 15 is connected between the water distribution pool 2 and the third water outlet pipe of the water dispenser 1000. The first water outlet channel 13, the second water outlet channel 14 and the third water outlet channel 15 all extend along the first direction and are spaced apart along the second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and the second direction can refer to the attached Figure 1 left and right direction.

[0057] like Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the first water outlet channel 13 has a first water outlet pipe 131, the second water outlet channel 14 has a second water outlet pipe 142, and the third water outlet channel 15 has a third water outlet pipe 151. The first water outlet pipe 131, the second water outlet pipe 142 and the third water outlet pipe 151 all extend in the front-to-back direction and are spaced apart in the left-to-right direction, and the first pipe 111, the second pipe 141 and the third pipe 161 connected to the refrigeration tank 200 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. As a result, the pipelines are better arranged in space, less likely to interfere, and the temperatures of water flowing in the pipelines are less likely to affect each other.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the water diversion pool 2 has a first partition 23, and the first partition 23 is used to separate a first exhaust area in the water diversion pool 2. The water inlet waterway plate 1 also has a first exhaust channel 16, one end of the first exhaust channel 16 is connected to the refrigeration tank 200, and the other end is connected to the first exhaust area. In other words, when the gas in the refrigeration tank 200 flows out from the first exhaust channel 16, it can flow into the first exhaust area, and the first exhaust area is separated by the first partition 23, so that the gas discharged from the refrigeration tank 200 can reduce the influence of the water temperature of the normal temperature water in the water diversion pool 2. In addition, by integrating the first exhaust channel on the water inlet waterway plate 1, the integration of the water inlet waterway plate 1 can be further improved, the pipeline layout of the water dispenser 1000 can be optimized, and the integrated design of the water inlet waterway plate 1 can be improved, which is conducive to the compact layout of the pipeline and the channel, and can save installation space.

[0059] Optionally, the first partition 23 is used to cooperate with the side wall of the water diversion tank 2 to construct a first exhaust area. Figure 4As shown, the first partition 23 is a plate body integrally formed in the water diversion pool 2, and the height of the first partition 23 is lower than the height of the side wall of the water diversion pool 2. The first partition 23 and the side wall of the water diversion pool 2 and the bottom wall of the water diversion pool 2 construct a first exhaust area opening upward, and a first exhaust port 25 of the first exhaust channel is constructed on the bottom wall of the water diversion pool 2. By making the first exhaust area located at the outer periphery of the water diversion pool 2, the influence of the gas discharged from the refrigeration tank 200 on the water temperature of the normal temperature water in the water diversion pool 2 can be better reduced.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the water inlet waterway plate 1 also has a third water outlet flow channel 15, one end of the third water outlet flow channel 15 is connected to the heating tank 300, and the other end is connected to the third water outlet pipe of the water dispenser 1000. In other words, the hot water in the heating tank 300 can flow out from the third water outlet flow channel 15 and the third water inlet pipe. By integrating the third water outlet flow channel 15 on the water inlet waterway plate 1, the water inlet and water outlet of the heating tank 300 both pass through the water inlet waterway plate 1, which can improve the integrated design of the water inlet waterway plate 1, facilitate the compact layout of the pipeline and the flow channel, and save the installation space.

[0061] Alternatively, if Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown, the water tank 2 has a second partition 24, and the second partition 24 is used to separate a second exhaust area in the water tank 2. The water inlet waterway plate 1 also has a second exhaust channel 17, one end of the second exhaust channel 17 is connected to the heating tank 300, and the other end is connected to the second exhaust area. In other words, when the gas in the heating tank 300 flows out from the second exhaust channel 17, it can flow into the second exhaust area, and the second exhaust area is separated by the second partition 24, so that the gas discharged from the heating tank 300 can reduce the influence of the water temperature of the normal temperature water in the water tank 2. In addition, by integrating the second exhaust channel on the water inlet waterway plate 1, the integration of the water inlet waterway plate 1 can be further improved, the pipeline layout of the water dispenser 1000 can be optimized, and the integrated design of the water inlet waterway plate 1 can be improved, which is conducive to the compact layout of the pipeline and the channel, and can save installation space.

[0062] In one example, the second partition 24 is used to cooperate with the side wall of the water diversion tank 2 to construct a second exhaust area. Figure 4 As shown, the second partition 24 is a plate body integrally formed in the water diversion pool 2, and the height of the second partition 24 is lower than the height of the side wall of the water diversion pool 2. The second partition 24 and the side wall of the water diversion pool 2 and the bottom wall of the water diversion pool 2 construct a second exhaust area opening upward, and a second exhaust port 26 of the second exhaust channel is constructed on the bottom wall of the water diversion pool 2. By locating the second exhaust area at the outer periphery of the water diversion pool 2, the influence of the gas discharged from the heating tank 300 on the water temperature of the normal temperature water in the water diversion pool 2 can be better reduced.
