[0028] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-7 The water dispenser or coffee machine (hereinafter referred to as "drink machine") includes a water pump 100, which is usually an electromagnetic vibration pump. The water pump 100 is installed inside the housing of the drink machine. In one embodiment, Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the beverage machine includes a heating assembly, which includes a housing 200 and a heating element (not shown) mounted on the housing 200. In one embodiment, the housing 200 has a mounting position 201 for mounting the heating element. The bottom of the housing 200 is used to mount the water pump 100. In other embodiments, the water pump 100 can also be connected to the housing of other components.

[0030] The water pump 100 is connected to the bottom of the housing 200 through the shock absorbing assembly, that is, the water pump 100 is suspended below the housing 200 through the shock absorbing assembly. Figure 1-6 As shown, in one embodiment, the shock absorbing assembly includes a first shock absorbing member 310 and a second shock absorbing member 320, and the shock absorbing member is made of an elastic material with reversible deformation, such as rubber, and further such as silicone rubber. The water pump 100 includes a water inlet 110 and a water outlet 120, the first shock absorbing member 310 has a first connection position 313, and the second shock absorbing member 320 has a second connection position 323. The water inlet 110 is detachably connected to the first connection position 313, and the water outlet 120 is detachably connected to the second connection position 323. In one embodiment, as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the first connection position 313 has a first hole 301, the second connection position 323 has a second hole 302, the water inlet 110 and the water outlet 120 are both tubes with a certain length, the water inlet 110 passes through / penetrates the first hole 301, and the water outlet 120 passes through / penetrates the second hole 302 to achieve detachable connection. In other embodiments, the first connection position 313 and the second connection position 323 may also be other structures that can stably hold the water inlet 110 and the water outlet 120, for example, by a clamping structure.

[0031] In one embodiment, the bottom of the housing 200 has a bottom plate 202, and the first shock absorber 310 is mounted on the mounting platform 210 at one end of the bottom plate 202. In one embodiment, the first shock absorber 310 has a connecting plane 311, and one end of the connecting plane 311 has a first connecting portion 315, and the first connecting portion 315 is mounted on the mounting platform 210 in a detachable or fixed connection manner through a connecting member such as a screw 500 or a rivet. In one embodiment, the second shock absorber 320 has a second connecting portion 321, and the other end of the bottom plate 202 has a through hole 220, which allows the second connecting portion 321 to pass through and keep the second connecting portion 321 above the through hole 220, so that the second shock absorber 320 can pass through the through hole 220 with a smaller volume after deformation and restore to its original state above the through hole 220. It is difficult for the second connecting portion 321 to detach from the through hole 220 without applying appropriate external force. In order to achieve a more stable connection, the second connecting portion 321 also has a groove 325 that is engaged with the edge of the through hole 220. Under the guidance of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can easily think of other ways to install the shock absorbing assembly on the shell 200. For example, the installation method of the first shock absorbing component 310 is also applicable to the second shock absorbing component 320, and vice versa. For example, a fixed connection method such as bonding can be adopted, or a groove is opened at the bottom of the shell 200, and the corresponding shock absorbing assembly has a slide rail or a protrusion that matches the groove. The details are not repeated here.

[0032] In one embodiment, the first shock absorber 310 and the second shock absorber 320 are independent of each other; in one embodiment, the first shock absorber 310 and the second shock absorber 320 are integrally formed; in another embodiment, the first shock absorber 310 and the second shock absorber 320 are fixedly connected, and can be connected above, on the side, or below the water pump 100. That is, the first shock absorber 310 and the second shock absorber 320 can be separate, integral, or separate and then fixedly connected.

[0033] The bottom of the housing 200 has a bottom plate 202, the water pump 100 has a top surface 101, and the connecting plane 311 of the first shock absorbing member 310 is partially or completely located between the bottom plate 202 and the top surface 101. In one embodiment, the bottom plate 202 of the housing 200 has a bottom side wall 230 extending downward along its edge, and the bottom side wall 230 is on a horizontal plane and perpendicular to the axial direction of the water pump 100 (such as Figure 5 The connection between the water pump 100 and the housing 200 is further strengthened in the direction of the arrow A shown in the figure. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the connection plane 311 of the first shock absorbing member 310 has a shock absorbing side wall 312 extending downward along its edge, and the shock absorbing side wall 312 partially or completely covers the side of the water pump 100; in one embodiment, the shock absorbing side wall 312 is a pair of side walls extending downward along two opposite edges of the connection plane 311, such as Figure 3As shown, a pair of shock-absorbing side walls 312 cooperate with a pair of bottom side walls 230 to cover the side of the water pump 100. The shock-absorbing side walls 312 are used to buffer and offset the impact force on the bottom of the housing 200, especially the bottom side walls 230, during the vibration of the water pump 100. In a preferred embodiment, the shock-absorbing components are all integrally formed with reversibly deformable elastic materials, which can play a role in buffering and shock reduction on all contact surfaces between the water pump 100 and the bottom of the housing 200.

[0034] In one embodiment, the shock absorbing assembly includes a shock absorbing plane and a suspension member, and the shock absorbing plane includes at least a connecting plane 311. When the first shock absorbing member 310 and the second shock absorbing member 320 are integrally formed, the connecting plane 311 extends to connect with the second connecting portion 321 to form the shock absorbing plane. In one embodiment, the shock absorbing plane is separately arranged between the water pump 100 and the housing 200; in another embodiment, the shock absorbing plane is arranged between the water pump 100 and the housing 200 and connected to the suspension member.

[0035] The suspension member includes a deformation unit and a fixed unit that are interconnected. The deformation unit is connected to the shock-absorbing plane or directly connected to the shell 200. The fixed unit is connected to the water pump 100 to fix the water pump 100. When the water pump 100 vibrates, the deformation unit will deform or produce a certain degree of twisting and swinging, so that the water pump 100 can be suspended under the shell 200 and vibrate in the space below the shell 200 without contacting other adjacent components. In one embodiment, the deformation unit is an elastomer made of a material with reversible deformation, such as rubber; in one embodiment, the deformation unit can be a flexible rope; in another embodiment, the deformation unit is movably connected to the fixed unit, for example, the deformation unit can achieve free rotation in a plane or in a three-dimensional space relative to the fixed unit, such as by a rotating shaft, a bearing or other similar mechanism. In one embodiment, the deformation unit also has a corrugated structure 322 connected to the second connecting portion 321, such as Figure 4 As shown, the corrugated structure 322 can increase the deformation degree of the deformation unit, reduce the impact of the water pump 100 on the suspension itself when the water pump 100 vibrates, extend the service life of the shock absorbing component, and allow a larger vibration amplitude / space when the water pump 100 vibrates, with better adaptability.

[0036] In one embodiment, the fixing unit includes a first connection position 313 and a second connection position 323; in one embodiment, the first connection position 313 and the second connection position 323 are independent of each other and are respectively connected to the water inlet 110 and the water outlet 120 of the water pump 100. In another embodiment, the first connection position 313 and the second connection position 323 are connected to each other below or on the side of the water pump 100 and the water pump 100 is suspended below the housing 200. The first connection position 313 and the second connection position 323 can also be integrally formed, such as Figure 7When the water inlet 110 and the water outlet 120 are distributed at both ends of the water pump 100 along the axis of the water pump 100, it is more convenient to use a shock absorbing assembly having a first connection position 313 and a second connection position 323. However, the water inlet 110A and the water outlet 120 of some water pumps 100 are located on the same side of the water pump 100, such as Figure 7 As shown, at this time, under the premise of ensuring that the water pump 100 can work normally and will not separate from the shell 200, the suspension member can be set to a component that takes the center of gravity of the water pump 100 as the geometric center and can elastically keep the water pump 100 within a certain space range below the shell 200, such as a structure similar to a hanging basket.

[0037] In order to better hold the water pump 100, the suspension member may also have a blocking portion, which may be Figure 7 The longitudinal railing 303 or the horizontal railing 304 shown, or a blocking structure in a mesh or other shape, can prevent the water pump 100 from accidentally escaping from the space between the first connection position 313 and the second connection position 323. The blocking portion can also be regarded as a connecting mechanism between the first connection position 313 and the second connection position 323. To facilitate the installation of the water pump 100 into the interior of the suspension member, the blocking portion is also made of a reversibly deformable elastic material and can be integrally formed with other parts of the shock absorbing assembly.

[0038] In one embodiment, the shock absorbing assembly does not have a shock absorbing plane, but only includes a suspension member on which the water pump 100 is installed, and the suspension member is movably connected to the housing 200, so that the suspension member on which the water pump 100 is installed can vibrate freely in the space below the housing 200. The shock absorbing assembly of this embodiment does not have the shock absorbing function of the shock absorbing plane in the previous embodiment, and is a relatively simple embodiment with a relatively poor shock absorbing effect, but it can still make the vibration of the water pump 100 take place in the air, thereby minimizing the impact on other components and reducing noise.

[0039] Generally, the shock absorbing assembly of the present invention is applicable to a horizontally placed water pump 100. In some embodiments, without affecting the arrangement of other components, it can also be applicable to water pumps placed in other directions, such as vertically placed or at other special angles.
