[0002] Semiconductor refrigeration units have the advantages of small size and low price, and are often used in various industries. Semiconductor refrigeration units have a cold end for absorbing heat and a hot end for releasing heat.

[0075] In order to solve the problem of low heat dissipation rate at the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration unit, a water supply device is proposed in this application. Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of a water supply device in an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the water supply device in the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the semiconductor refrigeration unit, the first heat exchange element, and the second heat exchange element in the embodiment of the utility model. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water supply device may include: a semiconductor refrigeration unit 1, the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 has a cold end 11 for absorbing heat and a hot end 12 for releasing heat; a first water storage unit 2 with a first inner cavity 21, the first inner cavity 21 is used to store water, and the hot end 12 can dissipate heat through the water in the first inner cavity 21; a second water storage unit 3 with a second inner cavity 31, the second inner cavity 31 is used to store water, and the cold end 11 can absorb the heat of the water in the second inner cavity 31 to turn the water in the second inner cavity 31 into cold water.
[0076] The hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 in the present application can dissipate heat through the water in the first inner cavity 21 of the first water storage unit 2, which can effectively improve the heat dissipation rate of the hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1, thereby improving the refrigeration effect of the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1, so that the water in the second water storage unit 3 can be cooled faster and reach a lower temperature after cooling, thereby enabling the second water storage unit 3 to supply the user with cold water that meets the requirements more quickly, thereby improving the user experience.
[0077] In order to better understand the water supply device in this application, it will be further explained and illustrated below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first inner cavity 21 of the first water storage unit 2 is used to store water, and the hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 can dissipate heat through the water in the first inner cavity 21. The hot end 12 can directly exchange heat with the water in the first inner cavity 21 to dissipate heat, or can indirectly exchange heat with the water in the first inner cavity 21 to dissipate heat.
[0078] Considering that the area of the hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 is limited, in order to further improve the heat exchange rate between the hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 and water, it is feasible to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hot end 12 dissipates heat through the water in the first inner cavity 21 through a first heat exchange element 4 that is at least partially disposed in the first inner cavity 21 and can contact the water in the first inner cavity 21 .
[0079] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the first heat exchange element 4 can contact the water in the first inner cavity 21 when the first inner cavity 21 is loaded with water to achieve heat dissipation through the water in the first inner cavity 21, the first water storage unit 2 has a first shell 22 forming the first inner cavity 21, and the first shell 22 has a minimum liquid level line, and at least part of the first heat exchange element 4 is located below the minimum liquid level line.
[0080] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first heat exchanger 4 may include a first body 41 having a corresponding first surface and a second surface and at least one first heat exchange portion 42 located on the first surface of the first body 41. At least part of the first heat exchange portion 42 is disposed in the first inner cavity 21, and at least part of the first heat exchange portion 42 can contact the water in the first inner cavity 21. As feasible, at least part of the first heat exchange portion 42 can be located below the lowest liquid level line. As feasible, at least part of the first body 41 can be located below the lowest liquid level line. In one embodiment, the hot end 12 can be closely attached to the second surface of the first body 41 for heat exchange to achieve a higher heat exchange rate. In another embodiment, in order to avoid a gap between the hot end 12 and the second surface of the first body 41 to reduce the heat exchange rate, the hot end 12 is disposed at the second surface of the first body 41, and a heat conductive material is disposed between the hot end 12 and the second surface of the first body 41 to achieve a higher heat exchange rate. For example, the heat conductive material can be a material with a high consistency and high thermal conductivity, such as thermal conductive silicone grease.
[0081] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first shell 22 has a first opening 221. In one embodiment, the first surface of the first body 41 is sealed with the outer wall of the first shell 22, and part of the first heat exchange member 4 is inserted into the first inner cavity 21 through the first opening 221. For example, the first heat exchange part 42 can be inserted into the first inner cavity 21 through the first opening 221 to achieve heat dissipation through the water in the first inner cavity 21. The hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 exchanges heat with the second surface of the first body 41. In the above manner, not only the first opening 221 is sealed by the first body 41 to prevent the water in the first inner cavity 21 from leaking out, but also part of the first heat exchange member 4 is inserted into the first inner cavity 21 through the first opening 221 to exchange heat with the water in the first inner cavity 21, thereby releasing the heat of the hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 into the water in the first inner cavity 21. In this embodiment, a first sealing member 6 , such as a sealing ring, may be provided between the first surface of the first body 41 and the outer wall of the first shell 22 to ensure sealing between the first surface of the first body 41 and the outer wall of the first shell 22 .
[0082] In another embodiment, the second surface of the first body 41 is sealed with the inner wall of the first shell 22. The hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 dissipates heat through the first body 41 at the first opening 221. Specifically, the hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 dissipates heat with the second surface of the first body 41 at the first opening 221. In the above manner, not only the first opening 221 is sealed by the first body 41 to prevent the water in the first inner cavity 21 from leaking out, but also the hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 dissipates heat through the first body 41 at the first opening 221, thereby releasing the heat of the hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 into the water in the first inner cavity 21. In this embodiment, a first sealing member 6, such as a sealing ring, may be provided between the first surface of the first body 41 and the inner wall of the first shell 22 to ensure the sealing between the first surface of the first body 41 and the inner wall of the first shell 22.
[0083] In the above two embodiments, the first body 41 and the first shell 22 may be provided with a first fixing member so that the first body 41 and the first shell 22 press the first sealing member 6 to achieve sealing. For example, the first fixing member may be a screw, a matching bolt, a nut, or the like, which is not limited in the present application.
[0084] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second inner cavity 31 of the second water storage unit 3 is used to store water, and the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 can absorb the heat of the water in the second inner cavity 31 to turn the water in the second cavity 31 into cold water. The cold end 11 can directly exchange heat with the water in the second inner cavity 31 to absorb heat, or can indirectly exchange heat with the water in the second inner cavity 31 to absorb heat. As feasible, the second water storage unit 3 can deliver cold water to the outside.
[0085] Considering that the area of the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 is limited, in order to further improve the heat exchange rate between the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 and water, it is feasible to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cold end 11 absorbs the heat of the water in the second inner cavity 31 through the second heat exchange element 5 which is at least partially disposed in the second inner cavity 31 and can contact the water in the second inner cavity 31, so that the water in the second cavity 31 becomes cold water.
[0086] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the second heat exchange element 5 can contact the water in the second inner cavity 31 to absorb the heat of the water in the second inner cavity 31 when the second inner cavity 31 is loaded with water, the second water storage unit 3 has a second shell 32 forming the second inner cavity 31, and the second shell 32 has a minimum liquid level line, and at least part of the second heat exchange element 5 is located below the minimum liquid level line.
[0087] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the second heat exchanger 5 includes a second body 51 having corresponding third and fourth faces and at least one second heat exchange portion 52 located on the third face of the second body 51. At least part of the second heat exchange portion 52 is arranged in the second inner cavity 31; at least part of the second heat exchange portion 52 can contact the water in the second inner cavity 31. As feasible, at least part of the second body 51 can contact the water in the second inner cavity 31. As feasible, at least part of the second heat exchange portion 52 can be located below the lowest liquid level line. In one embodiment, the cold end 11 is in close contact with the fourth face of the second body 51 for heat exchange to achieve a higher heat exchange rate. In another embodiment, in order to avoid a gap between the cold end 11 and the fourth face of the second body 51 to reduce the heat exchange rate, the cold end 11 is arranged at the fourth face of the second body 51, and a heat conductive material is arranged between the cold end 11 and the fourth face of the second body 51 to achieve a higher heat exchange rate.
[0088] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second shell 32 has a second opening. In one embodiment, the third surface of the second body 51 is sealed with the outer wall of the second shell 32, and part of the second heat exchanger 5 is inserted into the second inner cavity 31 through the second opening. For example, the second heat exchange part 52 can be inserted into the second inner cavity 31 through the second opening to absorb the heat of the water in the second inner cavity 31. The cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 exchanges heat with the fourth surface of the second body 51. In the above manner, not only the second opening is sealed by the second body 51 to prevent the water in the second inner cavity 31 from leaking out, but also part of the second heat exchanger 5 is inserted into the second inner cavity 31 through the second opening to exchange heat with the water in the second inner cavity 31, thereby releasing the coldness of the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 into the water in the second inner cavity 31. In this embodiment, a second sealing member 7, such as a sealing ring, can be provided between the third surface of the second body 51 and the outer wall of the second shell 32 to ensure the sealing between the third surface of the second body 51 and the outer wall of the second shell 32.
[0089] In another embodiment, the fourth surface of the second body 51 is sealed with the inner wall of the second shell 32; the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 absorbs the heat of the second body 51 at the second opening. Specifically, the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 exchanges heat with the fourth surface of the second body 51 at the second opening. In the above manner, not only the second opening is sealed by the second body 51 to prevent the water in the second inner cavity 31 from leaking out, but also the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 absorbs the heat of the second body 51 at the second opening, thereby releasing the coldness of the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 into the water in the second inner cavity 31. In this embodiment, a second sealing member 7, such as a sealing ring, may be provided between the third surface of the second body 51 and the inner wall of the second shell 32 to ensure the sealing between the third surface of the second body 51 and the inner wall of the second shell 32.
[0090] Similarly, in the above two embodiments, the second body 51 and the second shell 32 are provided with a second fixing member so that the second body 51 and the second shell 32 press the second sealing member 7 to achieve sealing. For example, the second fixing member can be a screw, a matching bolt and a nut, etc., which is not limited in this application.
[0091] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one side of the first shell 22 of the first water storage unit 2 is disposed against one side of the second shell 32 of the second water storage unit 3, and the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 is disposed between one side of the first shell 22 of the first water storage unit 2 and one side of the second shell 32 of the second water storage unit 3. The water supply device can be made more compact in the above manner. Furthermore, the side wall of the first shell 22 is disposed against the side wall of the second shell 32. In this way, even if the water in the first water storage unit 2 and the second water storage unit 3 is less, the hot end 12 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 can dissipate heat through the water in the first inner cavity 21 as much as possible, and the cold end 11 of the semiconductor refrigeration unit 1 can absorb the heat of the water in the second inner cavity 31, so that the water in the second inner cavity 31 becomes cold water.
[0092] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the first heat exchange part 42 may include fins, a plurality of fins are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and the fins extend in the vertical direction. Similarly, the second heat exchange part 52 may also include fins, a plurality of fins are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction, and the fins extend in the vertical direction. In this way, even if there is less water in the first water storage unit 2 and the second water storage unit 3, the heat or cold transferred by the body to each fin can be heated or absorbed by the water through its lower end, thereby improving the heat exchange rate between the entire heat exchange component and the water.
[0093] In some embodiments, the first body 41 and the second body 51 are located between the first shell 22 of the first water storage unit 2 and the second shell 32 of the second water storage unit 3, and the first shell 22 of the first water storage unit 2 and the second shell 32 of the second water storage unit 3 are penetrated by a third fixing member to lock the first shell 22 and the second shell 32, so that the first body 41 and the first shell 22 are kept sealed, and the second body 51 and the second shell 32 are kept sealed.
