Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water drinking machines, in particular to a water drinking machine which stops drinking when the cup is full. Background Art

[0002] Pipeline water dispenser, also known as pipeline water dispenser, wall-mounted pipeline water dispenser, is divided into wall-mounted pipeline type and vertical pipeline type. It is generally used in homes, offices, etc. The product has an LED display light and can be heated, kept warm, and cooled. Pipeline water dispenser is divided into mechanical water outlet, solenoid valve controlled water outlet and induction controlled water outlet according to the water outlet method. Mechanical water outlet refers to mechanical pressing. Water will be discharged when the button is pressed, and water will stop when the button is stopped. The mechanical water outlet can discharge water when the power is on or off, while the solenoid valve control needs to be powered on to discharge water. Press the solenoid valve once to open it and water will flow out. Press it again to close it and the water will stop flowing. Induction-controlled water flow means that water is induced by the IC card induction coil. The water source suitable for the pipeline machine must be pure water or purified water. The model can distinguish between warm and hot pipeline machines with only a single heating function and cold and hot pipeline machines with cooling function. Pipeline machines are divided into indicator light display pipeline machines and LED display pipeline machines according to the display method. The indicator light shows heating, insulation and cooling, while the LED display shows the dynamic status of the pipeline machine at a glance, which is more user-friendly.

[0003] When using the existing water dispenser, the water receiver often forgets to turn off the water when pouring, and the water spills all over the floor, wasting water resources. In particular, when receiving hot water, the spilled hot water can easily scald the user. Therefore, a new water dispenser is needed to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a cup-full-stop drinking machine of the utility model comprises a main body 1, a control box 2 is fixedly mounted on the front outer surface of the main body 1, a display panel 3 is mounted on the front outer surface of the control box 2, heat dissipation holes are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the main body 1, an insert 6 is fixedly mounted on the rear outer surface of the main body 1, a water receiving groove is also provided on the front outer surface of the main body 1, a bearing pad 5 is mounted on the lower side wall of the water receiving groove, and a water outlet 4 is mounted on the top wall of the water receiving groove. A water inlet pipe connected to the source water is installed in the main body 1, and a zero-pressure valve 7, a flow meter 8, a water pump 9 and a heating body 10 are sequentially connected to the water inlet pipe along the water inlet direction to the water outlet 4.

[0021] The main body 1 is also equipped with a data analysis and processing unit, a cup body detection module, a cup edge detection module 11 and a water surface detection module 12. The cup body detection module is located on the side of the water receiving groove, and the cup body detection module is used to detect the cup body placed in the water receiving groove area; the cup edge detection module 11 and the water surface detection module 12 are located on the top wall of the water receiving groove, the cup edge detection module 11 is used to detect the height of the cup edge, and the water surface detection module 12 is used to detect the height of the water surface in the cup body. The data analysis and processing unit is used to analyze and process the data collected by the cup body detection module, the cup edge detection module 11 and the water surface detection module 12. The cup body detection module, the cup edge detection module 11 and the water surface detection module 12 are all equipped with sensors, and the sensors are used to detect the height of the cup body and the height of the water surface. The sensor in this embodiment is a laser ranging sensor.

[0022] The control box 2 is electrically connected to the water pump 9 , the heating body 10 , the flow meter 8 , the cup body detection module, the cup edge detection module 11 and the water surface detection module 12 .

[0023] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cup body detection module is also equipped with a camera, which is used to record the cup body placed in the water collecting groove. The taken cup body picture is compared and analyzed with the existing cup body, so as to quickly obtain the cup body information, judge whether the object placed in the water collecting groove is a cup body, and quickly determine the lowest point of the cup edge of the special-shaped cup body.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an ultraviolet lamp and an induction switch are installed under the bearing pad 5. The induction switch senses whether an object enters the water receiving groove area. If not, the ultraviolet lamp is turned on for disinfection. If so, the ultraviolet lamp is turned off.

[0025] When receiving water, place the cup body on the water receiving groove so that the cup mouth of the cup body faces the water outlet 4, and then set the water temperature and other water volume requirements and other parameters through the display panel 3. After the parameters are set, click the water inlet icon on the display panel 3. Under the suction action of the water pump 9, the source water enters the water outlet 4 through the zero-pressure valve 7, the flow meter 8, the water pump 9, and the heating body 10, and finally flows to the cup body. During the water collection process, the cup body detection module will first detect whether there is a cup body in the water receiving groove area. If there is no cup body, the control box 2 will not send a pumping signal to the water pump 9; the cup edge detection module 11 will monitor the height of the cup edge in real time and record the lowest point of the cup edge; the water surface detection module 12 will monitor the height of the water surface in the cup body in real time. When the height difference between the lowest point of the cup edge and the water surface in the body is 20mm, the water intake will stop automatically.
