DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] Generally, the water in the water dispenser can be discharged through the water outlet assembly after being processed by the second water channel assembly, thereby realizing the water outlet of the water dispenser. In the related art, the water inlet water channel assembly and the faucet are usually connected by a silicone tube, and such a connection method can only be assembled manually, and cannot be automated or modularly produced, resulting in low production efficiency. In addition, the silicone tube is prone to aging during use, and the silicone is prone to odor after aging, and the quality problem of broken tubes and water leakage brings inconvenience to users.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0040] Combination Figures 1 to 8 According to an embodiment of the utility model, the drinking fountain comprises: a first water circuit assembly 12, a second water circuit assembly 20 and a water outlet assembly 30. The first water circuit assembly 12 comprises a first plate portion 121 and at least one first tube portion 11. The first tube portion 11 is arranged on the first plate portion 121. The first tube portion 11 has a first interface 101 and a second interface 102 that are interconnected at both ends. The second water circuit assembly 20 is connected to the first interface 101, and the water outlet assembly 30 is connected to the second interface 102.

[0041] Specifically, by providing the first plate portion 121 and the plurality of first tube bodies 11 on the first water circuit assembly 10, the plurality of first tube bodies 11 can be connected to the second water circuit assembly 20 and the water outlet assembly 30, respectively, so that during assembly, the connection of the plurality of first tube bodies 11 can be realized simultaneously, which can improve the assembly efficiency. Therefore, compared with the solution in the prior art in which the water inlet water circuit assembly and the faucet can only be connected separately through a plurality of silicone tubes, the first water circuit assembly 10 of the embodiment of the utility model in the present application can be conveniently taken during assembly, and the plurality of first tube bodies 11 are integrated on the first plate body 121, which improves the assembly efficiency and reduces the assembly difficulty.

[0042] More specifically, the extension length of the first pipe body 11 can be set according to the distance between the second water circuit assembly 20 and the water outlet assembly 30, and the first water circuit assembly 12 also has an interface that can directly connect the second water circuit assembly 20 and the water outlet assembly 30. After the water treated by the second water circuit assembly 20 enters the flow channel, it can flow out from the water outlet assembly 30, thereby realizing the water transportation between the second water circuit assembly 20 and the water outlet assembly 30. Specifically, the first pipe body 11 has a first interface 101 and a second interface 102 that are interconnected. During assembly, the first interface 101 of the first pipe body 11 can be directly connected to the second water circuit assembly 20, and the water outlet assembly 30 can be connected to the second interface 102 of the first pipe body 11.

[0043] According to the first water channel assembly 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, by arranging the first water channel assembly 10 between the second water channel assembly 20 and the water outlet assembly 30, water can be transported from the second water channel assembly 20 to the water outlet assembly 30, and the structure is simple and easy to construct.

[0044] Furthermore, combined with Figure 3 The second water channel assembly 20 includes a second plate portion 22, and the second plate portion 22 is provided with a third interface 203, the third interface 203 is connected to the first interface 101, and the first tube body portion 11 is plugged into the peripheral wall of the third interface 203, so that the second water channel assembly 20 and the first water channel assembly 10 can be connected simply and quickly.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second water channel assembly 20 further includes a second pipe body portion 21 , the second pipe body portion 21 is disposed on the second plate portion 22 , and the second pipe body portion 21 constructs a third interface 203 .

[0046] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the second plate portion 22 is provided with a first flow channel, one end of the first flow channel is connected to the water source, and the other end is connected to the third interface 203, so that the water source can be drained to the third interface 203. Alternatively, the second plate portion 22 is provided with a second flow channel, the water dispenser 100 further includes a water treatment component, one end of the second flow channel is connected to the water treatment component, and the other end is connected to the third interface 203, so that the water of the water source can be treated and discharged from the third interface 203. Alternatively, the second plate portion 22 is provided with a third flow channel, the water dispenser 100 further includes a water treatment component, one end of the third flow channel is connected to the water treatment component, and the other end is connected to the third interface 203. In other words, the second plate portion 22 can be provided with multiple third interfaces 203, and the third interfaces 203 can be respectively connected to multiple flow channels to discharge water in multiple flow channels. For example, the second plate portion 22 may be provided with a first flow channel, a second flow channel and a third flow channel at the same time, wherein the first flow channel may flow untreated room temperature water, and the room temperature water is discharged from the third interface 203 after passing through the first flow channel from the water source, so that the user can get room temperature water. The water dispenser 100 may also have a water treatment component, for example, to cool or heat the water, thereby, the water in the second flow channel may be heated and then discharged from the third interface 203, so that the user can get hot water, and the water in the third flow channel may be cooled and then discharged from the third interface 203, so that the user can get cold water, thereby improving the functionality of the water dispenser 100.

[0047] Similarly, combined Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the water outlet assembly 30 includes a valve body 31, the valve body 31 is provided with a fourth interface 304, and the fourth interface 304 is connected to the second interface 102. The first pipe body 11 is plugged into the peripheral wall of the fourth interface 304. The water outlet assembly 30 also includes a third pipe body, the third pipe body 32 is provided on the valve body 31, and the third pipe body 32 constructs the fourth interface 304, so that the water outlet assembly 30 can be connected to the first water channel assembly 10 simply and quickly.

[0048] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 8In some embodiments of the utility model, water can enter the first tube body 11 from one of the first interface 101 and the second interface 102, and flow out of the first tube body 11 from the other. The first tube body 11 can extend the water transportation distance, thereby overcoming the water transportation when there is a certain distance between the second water channel component 20 and the water outlet component 30. Therefore, by setting the first tube body 11, the first water channel component 10 has smaller requirements on the distance and position relationship between the second water channel component 20 and the water outlet component 30, thereby facilitating assembly and spatial arrangement.

[0049] It should be noted that at least one first tube body portion 11 may be two first tube bodies, and of course, it may also be three or more first tube bodies. Specifically, the water outlet assembly 30 of the water dispenser 100 may have two water outlets, namely a hot water outlet and a cold water outlet. When the first waterway assembly 10 includes two first tube bodies 11, one first tube body portion 11 may be connected to the hot water outlet of the water outlet assembly 30, and the other first tube body portion 11 may be connected to the cold water outlet of the water outlet assembly 30. When the water dispenser 100 has three water outlets, that is, the water dispenser 100 may also have a normal temperature water outlet, in which case three first tube bodies 11 may be provided to be connected to the three water outlets respectively. Thus, water of different temperatures circulates in different first tube bodies 11, which can ensure that the outlet water temperature is stable, thereby improving the water outlet effect and functionality of the water dispenser 100.

[0050] In other embodiments of the present invention, the first water circuit component 12 may include a chamber, and a first interface 101 and a second interface 102 are constructed on opposite sides of the chamber. Water can enter the cavity from the second water circuit component 20 and then flow out from the water outlet component 30, wherein the cavity can transport a large amount of water, which can increase the instantaneous water output of the water dispenser 100.

[0051] Optionally, the first water path component 12 may include the first tube body portion 11 and the chamber at the same time. For example, when used, the first tube body portion 11 and the chamber may be arranged according to actual conditions. For example, when the water outlet component 30 of the water dispenser 100 has both a cold water outlet and a hot water outlet, the first tube body portion 11 may be provided at the hot water outlet to control the instantaneous water output and avoid scalding; a chamber may be provided at the cold water outlet to increase the instantaneous water output and improve the water output efficiency, etc. The utility model is not limited to this.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first tube body 11 is a hard material tube, which can improve the structural stability of the first tube body 11, and the hard material structure is relatively stable and easy to install, and is easy to perform automated assembly. Combined with the above, the hard material tube can also avoid the odor and water leakage caused by aging of the tube part of the soft material tube. In addition, the user can also regularly clean the hard material tube for recycling, which is conducive to improving the durability and use experience of the first water channel assembly 10.

[0053] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, a filter element is provided in the first tube body portion 11, so that after the water of the second water path component 20 enters the first tube body portion 11, it can also be further filtered by the filter element and then flow out from the water outlet component 30, thereby further improving the water quality of the outlet water and helping to improve the use effect of the water dispenser 100.

[0054] For example, the filter element can be disposed in a hard material tube to facilitate assembly of the filter element, and the filter element can be detachably connected to the first tube body 11, for example, a clamping protrusion is disposed on the inner wall of the first tube body 11, and the filter element cooperates with the clamping protrusion to be fixed to the inner wall of the first tube body 11. Thus, the filter element is disposed in the flow channel, and water passing through the flow channel can be further filtered by the filter element.

[0055] In some embodiments of the utility model, the first water channel assembly 10 is configured to be plugged with the second water channel assembly 20. The first water channel assembly 10 is configured to be plugged with the water outlet assembly 30. That is to say, during assembly, the connection between the first water channel assembly 10 and the second water channel assembly 20 and the water outlet assembly 30 can be achieved through the plugging operation, thereby simplifying the assembly steps, reducing the assembly difficulty, and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0056] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first plate portion 121 is provided with a positioning hole 103 for connecting the second water channel assembly 20 through a connecting member. The connecting member may be a fastener, such as a screw. During assembly, the first plate portion 121 may be connected to the second water channel assembly 20 through the fastener passing through the positioning hole 103, thereby achieving connection between the first water channel assembly 12 and the second water channel assembly 20. Specifically, in combination with Figure 3 The second water channel assembly 20 is provided with a positioning seat 23, the positioning seat 23 is opposite to the positioning hole 103, and the screw passes through the positioning hole 103 and is installed in the positioning seat 23. More specifically, in combination Figure 8 The first plate portion 121 is provided with a countersunk structure 1213, and the positioning hole 103 is provided in the countersunk structure 1213. The countersunk structure 1213 protrudes in the direction facing the second water channel assembly 20. In this way, when the screw passes through the positioning hole 103, the screw head can be accommodated in the countersunk structure 1213, so as to improve the structural stability and facilitate spatial arrangement.

[0057] Of course, the positioning hole 103 of the first plate portion 121 can also be used to connect the water dispenser body. For example, when the structure of the second water channel assembly 20 is not suitable for setting the positioning seat 23, or according to actual application conditions, the first water channel assembly 12 can also be connected to the water dispenser body, thereby improving the stability of the first water channel assembly 10 after assembly.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first waterway assembly 12 further includes a circumference plate 122 and a reinforcing rib 13. The circumference plate 122 is connected to the periphery of the first plate portion 121 and is arranged around the first plate portion, which can improve the structural strength of the first waterway assembly 12. The reinforcing rib 13 is respectively connected to the first plate portion 121 and the circumference plate 122, and can provide support between the first plate portion 121 and the circumference plate 122 to further improve the structural strength.

[0059] Combination Figure 8 In some embodiments of the utility model, at least one first tube body portion includes a first tube body 111 and a second tube body 112, the first tube body 111 and the second tube body 112 are arranged side by side and adjacent, and a positioning hole 103 and / or a reinforcing rib 13 are provided between the first tube body 111 and the second tube body 112. That is, the position where the first water circuit assembly 12 is connected to the second water circuit assembly 20 or the reinforcing rib 13 can be provided between the first tube body 111 and the second tube body 112. Specifically, the first tube body 111 and the second tube body 112 can correspond to the two water outlets of the water outlet assembly 30 respectively, and there is generally a certain interval between the two water outlets of the water outlet assembly 30, which can provide space for users to receive water. Therefore, by providing a connecting structure or reinforcing rib 13 between the first tube body 111 and the second tube body 112, it is possible to fully utilize the space and improve the structural strength of the first water circuit assembly 10. In particular, when the positioning hole 103 and the reinforcing rib 13 are provided between the first tube body 111 and the second tube body 112 , the reinforcing rib 13 can improve the structural stability of the connection between the first plate portion 121 and the second water channel assembly 20 .

[0060] Furthermore, the first water channel assembly 10 may also include a third tube body 113, and the first tube body 111, the second tube body 112 and the third tube body 113 are arranged side by side on the first plate portion 121, and a connecting structure or a reinforcing rib 13 is provided between the first tube body 111 and the second tube body 112; a connecting structure or a reinforcing rib 13 is provided between the second tube body 112 and the third tube body 113, thereby, the three tube bodies can be connected to three water channels to transport water of different temperatures, and a connecting structure and / or a reinforcing rib 13 for connecting to the second water channel assembly 20 is provided between the two tube bodies, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first water channel assembly 10 and the second water channel assembly 20 and the overall stability of the structure.

[0061] In some embodiments of the utility model, the first water channel assembly 10 further includes a fixing cover 16, the first plate portion 121 is provided with a card slot 104, the fixing cover 16 is provided with a hook 163, and the first water channel assembly 12 is snap-connected with the fixing cover 16, so as to facilitate connecting the fixing cover 16 with the first water channel assembly 12. Specifically, the fixing cover 16 can cover the first water channel assembly 12, and the fixing cover 16 can fix the components between the first water channel assembly 12 and the fixing cover 16, so as to improve the structural stability of the first water channel assembly 10, and also improve the integrity and aesthetics of the structure of the first water channel assembly 10.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 8 The first water channel assembly 10 further includes a first sealing sleeve 14, which includes a first portion 141 and a second portion 142. The first portion 141 is disposed on the inner side of the peripheral wall of the first interface 101, and the second portion 142 is disposed on the outer side of the peripheral wall of the first interface 101, and the first portion 141 and the second portion 142 are connected. In other words, the first sealing sleeve 14 is disposed at the first interface 101 and sleeved on the peripheral wall of the first interface 101. In this way, when the second water channel assembly 20 or the water outlet assembly 30 is connected to the first interface 101, the first sealing sleeve 14 can play a sealing role to prevent water from leaking from the interface. More specifically, after the first sealing sleeve 14 is sleeved on the first interface 101, a portion of it is located on the outer side of the peripheral wall of the first interface 101, and a portion of it is located on the inner side of the peripheral wall of the first interface 101. In this way, when the second water channel component 20 or the water outlet component 30 is connected to the first interface 101, no matter it is extended into the first interface 101 or sleeved outside the first interface 101, it can contact the first sealing sleeve 14, so that the first sealing sleeve 14 can seal the gap at the fitting place between the first interface 101 and the second water channel component 20 or the water outlet component 30, and can also provide a certain tightening effect.

[0063] The first sealing sleeve 14 may be in a form with a deformation amount. When the second waterway component 20 or the water outlet component 30 is connected to the first interface 101, the first sealing sleeve 14 located at the first interface 101 may be deformed to improve the sealing effect and stability after connection, and to avoid falling off. Specifically, in some embodiments of the utility model, the radial compression amount of at least a portion of the first sealing sleeve 14 is greater than or equal to 15% and less than or equal to 20%. Therefore, when the first sealing sleeve 14 is subjected to external pressure, it can be deformed to a certain extent to improve the sealing effect. At the same time, by controlling the compression amount of the first sealing sleeve 14, the wear resistance and durability of the sealing sleeve can also be guaranteed, so as to ensure that the first sealing sleeve 14 has good sealing performance and long-term stability.

[0064] Similarly, a sealing sleeve may also be provided at the second interface 102 to improve the sealing and connection stability between the second water circuit assembly 20 or the water outlet assembly 30 and the second interface 102. Specifically, in some embodiments of the utility model, the first water circuit assembly 10 also includes a second sealing sleeve 15, and the second sealing sleeve 15 includes a third part 151 and a fourth part 152, the third part 151 is provided on the inner side of the peripheral wall of the second interface 102, and the fourth part 152 is provided on the outer side of the peripheral wall of the second interface 102, and the third part 151 and the fourth part 152 are connected. Among them, the second sealing sleeve 15 may also be provided so that the radial compression amount of at least a part is greater than or equal to 15% and less than or equal to 20%, which can facilitate assembly and has certain sealing and stability.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first sealing sleeve 14 is an integrally formed structure, so as to facilitate manufacturing and assembly.
