[0048] 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.

[0049] Please refer to the following Figure 1-11 A cold tank assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 According to an embodiment of the utility model, the cold tank assembly 100 includes: a water inlet waterway plate 10 and a cold tank 20.

[0051] Specifically, the water inlet waterway plate 10 is provided with a first joint; a accommodating cavity 212 is provided in the cold tank 20, and the cold tank 20 is provided with a second joint connected to the accommodating cavity 212. The first joint and the second joint are plugged and connected to each other, so that the water inlet waterway plate 10 is connected and connected to the cold tank 20.

[0052] The cold tank assembly 100 of the present invention is provided with a first joint and a second joint. The connection between the water inlet waterway plate 10 and the cold tank 20 can be achieved through the plug-in connection of the first joint and the second joint. Compared with the solution of the prior art that requires the use of a connecting pipe, the cold tank assembly 100 of the present application can reduce the use of parts and components and reduce production costs. At the same time, it can also avoid the problems of aging, odor and breakage of the connecting pipe caused by the use of the connecting pipe, thereby improving the user experience of the water dispenser 1000 and improving the reliability of the water dispenser 1000. Furthermore, after the water inlet waterway plate 10 and the cold tank 20 are accurately positioned, the first joint and the second joint can be plugged and connected through the equipment, thereby improving assembly efficiency and saving assembly time.

[0053] According to the cold tank assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, a first joint and a second joint are provided, and the first water inlet joint 111 is plug-connected with the second water inlet joint 221 to realize the connection between the water inlet waterway plate 10 and the cold tank 20, thereby reducing the use of parts and reducing production costs. At the same time, it can improve the user experience of the water dispenser 1000, improve assembly efficiency, and save assembly time.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10The number of first connectors is at least two, that is, the number of first connectors can be two, three, or four or more, the number of second connectors is at least two, that is, the number of second connectors can be two, three, or four or more, and multiple first connectors correspond to multiple second connectors one by one and are plug-connected. Thus, multiple first connectors and multiple second connectors can ensure the stability of the connection between the water inlet waterway plate 10 and the cold tank 20, and at the same time, can also meet the various functional requirements between the water inlet waterway plate 10 and the cold tank 20.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The multiple first joints include: a first water inlet joint 111, a first water outlet joint 113 and a first exhaust joint 112; the multiple second joints include a second water inlet joint 221, a second water outlet joint 223 and a second exhaust joint 222; the first water inlet joint 111 is plugged in and connected with the second water inlet joint 221, the first exhaust joint 112 is plugged in and connected with the second exhaust joint 222, and the first water outlet joint 113 is plugged in and connected with the second water outlet joint 223.

[0056] In this way, the first water inlet connector 111 is connected with the second water inlet connector 221, and the water in the water dispenser 1000 can flow into the accommodating chamber 212 through the first water inlet connector 111 and the second water inlet connector 221 in sequence. The first exhaust connector 112 is connected with the second exhaust connector 222, which can balance the air pressure in the accommodating chamber 212 and ensure that the water in the water dispenser 1000 can flow smoothly into the accommodating chamber 212. The first water outlet connector 113 is connected with the second water outlet connector 223, so that the water in the accommodating chamber 212 can flow out of the accommodating chamber 212 through the second water outlet connector 223 and the first water outlet connector 113 in sequence.

[0057] For example, Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the water inlet waterway plate 10 is arranged on the upper side of the cold tank 20, the first water inlet joint 111 is arranged in the middle position of the upper side of the cold tank 20, the first water outlet joint 113 and the first exhaust joint 112 are arranged on opposite sides of the first water inlet joint 111, and the second water inlet joint 221, the second water outlet joint 223 and the second exhaust joint 222 correspond to the positions of the first water inlet joint 111, the first water outlet joint 113 and the first exhaust joint 112 respectively.

[0058] When the water inlet waterway plate 10 is connected to the cold tank 20, the water inlet waterway plate 10 is first placed on the upper side of the cold tank 20, and then the first water inlet joint 111 is plugged with the second water inlet joint 221, the first exhaust joint 112 is plugged with the second exhaust joint 222, and the first water outlet joint 113 is plugged with the second water outlet joint 223. At this time, the water inlet waterway plate 10 is connected to the cold tank 20. When the cold tank assembly 100 is running, water flows from the first water inlet joint 111 of the water inlet waterway plate 10 to the accommodating chamber 212 through the second water inlet joint 221. After the water is cooled in the cold tank 20, the water flows out of the accommodating chamber 212 from the second water outlet joint 223 through the first water outlet joint 113.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 The water inlet waterway plate 10 includes: a body 11 and a baffle 12. The body 11 is arranged on the upper side of the cold tank 20 (such as Figure 2 The baffle 12 is disposed on the side of the body 11 away from the cold tank 20 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 The baffle plate 12 is formed as an annular baffle plate 12 extending up and down, and the baffle plate 12 and the body 11 are arranged to form a water dividing pool 121, and the first water inlet joint 111 is connected to the water dividing pool 121.

[0060] In this way, the main body 11 is connected to the cold tank 20, so that the water inlet waterway plate 10 can provide a position for connecting with the cold tank 20. At the same time, the baffle 12 surrounds a water diversion pool 121, and water from the outside can first flow into the water diversion pool 121, and then flow to the cold tank 20 through the first water inlet joint 111, so that the water diversion pool 121 can be used as a water storage space to ensure the water storage amount in the water dispenser 1000.

[0061] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the main body 11 is a horizontally extending rectangular plate, the main body 11 is arranged on the upper side of the cold tank 20, the baffle 12 is arranged on the upper side of the main body 11, the lower end of the baffle 12 is connected to the main body 11, the upper end of the baffle 12 extends upward, and the baffle 12 encloses a water diversion pool 121 with an open upper side.

[0062] The water inlet waterway plate 10 and the water diversion tank 121 are integrally formed integrated parts. Therefore, by constructing the water inlet waterway plate 10 and the water diversion tank 121 as an integrally formed integrated part, the installation process of the cold tank assembly 100 is simplified, the assembly steps and time are reduced, and maintenance and repair are made more convenient and quick, thereby improving the structural stability and pressure resistance of the cold tank assembly 100, and can effectively extend the service life of the cold tank assembly 100. In addition, the integrated design contributes to a compact layout and saves installation space.

[0063] It should be noted here that the water may be water from a drinking water bucket connected to the water distribution tank 121 , or water from a tap connected to the water distribution tank 121 that can fill with water.

[0064] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 A partition plate 13 is provided in the water dividing pool 121, and both ends of the partition plate 13 are connected to the inner wall of the baffle plate 12. The partition plate 13 and the baffle plate 12 define an exhaust cavity 131. The second exhaust joint 222 is provided on the side of the body 11 away from the baffle plate 12 (such as Figure 7 The second exhaust connector 222 is connected to the exhaust chamber 131. Thus, the partition plate 13 isolates the exhaust chamber 131 from the water pool 121, thereby preventing the water in the water pool 121 from entering the exhaust chamber 131 and affecting the exhaust of the cold tank 20, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the exhaust chamber 131 and effectively preventing the air pressure in the cold tank 20 from being too high, resulting in the inability of water to flow into the cold tank 20 from the second water inlet connector 221.

[0065] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the partition plate 13 is arranged on a side close to the inner wall of the water diversion pool 121, and both ends of the partition plate 13 are connected to the inner wall of the baffle plate 12. The partition plate 13 and the baffle plate 12 define an exhaust cavity 131 extending up and down, and the second exhaust connector 222 is connected to the exhaust cavity 131. The gas can flow between the exhaust cavity 131, the first exhaust connector 112 and the second exhaust connector 222, so as to balance the air pressure in the accommodating cavity 212.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 , one end of the second water inlet connector 221 (such as Fig.10 The lower end of the second water inlet connector 221 as shown in the figure extends into the accommodating chamber 212, and one end of the second water inlet connector 221 extending into the accommodating chamber 212 is provided with at least two through holes 2211, that is, one end of the second water inlet connector 221 extending into the accommodating chamber 212 can be provided with two, three or four or more through holes 2211, and the multiple through holes 2211 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second water inlet connector 221. Therefore, when the water flows from the second water inlet connector 221 to the accommodating chamber 212 through the through holes 2211, the multiple through holes 2211 will divert the water flow, thereby reducing the impact of the water flow on the cold water in the accommodating chamber 212, and further delaying the water mixing time, and when the water dispenser 1000 is used to discharge cold water, the outlet water temperature of the cold water can be guaranteed.

[0067] For example, Figure 2 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, a plurality of through holes 2211 are provided on the lower side of the second water inlet connector 221. The through holes 2211 penetrate the second water inlet connector 221 in the radial direction of the second water inlet connector 221. The plurality of through holes 2211 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second water inlet connector 221. When water flows from the through holes 2211 to the accommodating cavity 212, the plurality of through holes 2211 can divert water.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The cold tank assembly 100 includes: a water outlet pipe 30, a lower end of the water outlet pipe 30 (such as Figure 2 The lower end of the water outlet pipe 30 (shown in FIG. 1 ) extends into the lower portion of the accommodating chamber 212, and the upper end of the water outlet pipe 30 (shown in FIG. Figure 2 The upper end of the water outlet pipe 30 shown in the figure is connected to the second water outlet joint 223. When water flows into the accommodating chamber 212 through the second water inlet joint 221, when the water dispenser 1000 needs to discharge cold water, the cold water flows out of the accommodating chamber 212 from the bottom of the accommodating chamber 212 through the water outlet pipe 30, thereby further reducing the influence of the water inlet of the second water inlet joint 221 on the cold water discharge, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the water outlet pipe 30 extends in the up-down direction, the lower end of the water outlet pipe 30 extends into the lower part of the accommodating cavity 212 , and the upper end of the water outlet pipe 30 is connected to the second water outlet joint 223 .

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , one end of the water outlet pipe 30 (such as Figure 2 The end of the water outlet pipe 30 (shown as the lower end) forms a water outlet port 31, and the water outlet port 31 is arranged obliquely relative to the horizontal direction. Therefore, the inclined water outlet port 31 can facilitate the water in the accommodating cavity 212 to flow out of the accommodating cavity 212 from the water outlet pipe 30, thereby ensuring the water outlet speed and further improving the user experience.

[0071] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the lower end of the water outlet pipe 30 forms a water outlet port 31, and the water outlet port 31 extends obliquely from the lower left to the upper right.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2The bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 212 is provided with a drain port 211, which is communicated with the accommodating cavity 212. The cold tank assembly 100 further includes a drain waterway plate 40, in which a drain flow channel 41 is provided, which is communicated with the drain port 211. Thus, when the water dispenser 1000 is not used for a long time, the water in the cold tank 20 can be discharged from the cold tank 20 through the drain port 211. At the same time, the drain port 211 is provided at the bottom of the cold tank 20, and the dirt in the cold tank 20 can be discharged from the cold tank 20 through the drain port 211, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the cold tank 20. Furthermore, the drain flow channel 41 provides a drainage channel for the water discharged from the drain port 211, thereby preventing the water flowing out of the drain port 211 from flowing to other components of the water dispenser 1000, thereby ensuring the safety of the use of the water dispenser 1000.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 The cold tank assembly 100 includes: a drain pipe 50, one end of the drain pipe 50 (such as Figure 2 The upper end of the drainage pipe 50 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the drainage port 211, and the other end of the drainage pipe 50 (as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The lower end of the drainage pipe 50 shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the drainage pipe 50. Thus, the drainage pipe 50 connects the drain port 211 with the drainage channel 41, thereby facilitating the cold tank 20 to communicate with the drainage waterway plate 40.

[0074] For example, Figure 2 As shown, a drain port 211 is provided on the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 212 , a drain waterway plate 40 is provided on the lower side of the cold tank 20 , an upper end of the drain pipe 50 is connected to the drain port 211 , and a lower end of the drain pipe 50 is connected to the drain channel 41 .

[0075] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 The cold tank assembly 100 includes: a plugging member 60, which is removably disposed at one end of the drainage channel 41 away from the drainage pipe 50 (such as Figure 2 The blocking member 60 blocks the drainage channel 41, thereby preventing the water in the cold tank 20 from flowing out of the drainage channel 41.

[0076] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the drainage pipe 50 extends in an arc shape from the lower left to the upper right, the drainage channel 41 extends in the left-right direction, the lower left end of the drainage pipe 50 is connected to the left end of the drainage channel 41, and the blocking member 60 blocks the right end of the drainage channel 41. Preferably, the compression amount of the blocking member 60 is 20%, so as to ensure the blocking effect of the blocking member 60

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4and Figure 6 The cold tank 20 includes: a tank body 21 and a top cover 22. A receiving cavity 212 is formed in the tank body 21, and the top of the tank body 21 is opened to form an open opening; the top cover 22 covers the open opening, and a second water inlet joint 221 and a second exhaust joint 222 are provided on the top cover 22. Thus, the tank body 21 and the top cover 22 cooperate to form a sealed receiving cavity 212, thereby preventing dirt from entering the receiving cavity 212 and affecting the water quality.

[0078] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the tank body 21 is a hollow cylinder, the bottom of the tank body 21 is closed and the top is open to form an open opening, the drain port 211 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body 21, and the top cover 22 is in the shape of a circular plate, and the top cover 22 covers the open opening.

[0079] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The cold tank assembly 100 includes: a fastening collar 71 and a sealing ring 72. The fastening collar 71 is sleeved on the radially outer side of the top cover 22 to fix the top cover 22 to the tank body 21, and the sealing ring 72 is arranged between the fastening collar 71 and the top cover 22. Thus, the fastening collar 71 can ensure the stability of the connection between the top cover 22 and the cover body, thereby effectively preventing the top cover 22 from being separated from the tank body 21. At the same time, the sealing ring 72 seals the top cover 22 and the tank body 21, thereby preventing the water in the cold tank 20 from leaking out from the gap between the cold tank 20 and the top cover 22, and also preventing the stolen goods from entering the accommodating cavity 212 from the gap between the cold tank 20 and the top cover 22.

[0080] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the fastening collar 71 is formed in an annular shape, the sealing ring 72 is annular, the sealing ring 72 is sleeved on the radial outer side of the top cover 22, and the fastening collar 71 is sleeved on the radial outer side of the sealing ring 72. Preferably, the sealing ring 72 is a silicone sealing ring 72, which can ensure the sealing effect of the sealing ring 72, and at the same time, the compression amount of the sealing ring 72 is 20%, thereby further ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing ring 72.

[0081] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6The cold tank assembly 100 includes: an evaporator 80 and a heat preservation member 90. The evaporator 80 is sleeved on the outer wall of the cold tank 20, and the heat preservation member 90 is sleeved on the outer sides of the cold tank 20 and the evaporator 80. Thus, the evaporator 80 can cool the water in the receiving chamber 212, so that the water dispenser 1000 can prepare cold water. At the same time, the heat preservation member 90 can maintain the temperature of the cold water in the receiving chamber 212, so that the operation time of the evaporator 80 can be reduced and the use cost can be reduced.

[0082] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the evaporator 80 is sleeved on the radial outer side of the tank body 21 , and the heat preservation member 90 is sleeved on the radial outer side of the tank body 21 and covers the evaporator 80 therein.
