The water tank assembly 200 can be arranged in the first part, and the first part is provided with a first positioning structure 15, and the connection between the water tank assembly 200 and the drainage assembly 100 is achieved through the first positioning structure 15; and other structural parts such as the compressor 400 can be arranged in the second part, and the second part is provided with a second positioning structure 16, and the connection between the compressor 400 and the drainage assembly 100 is achieved through the second positioning structure 16.

[0069] In addition, the drainage interface 13 can be constructed as a tube extending in the thickness direction of the main body 10, so that the drainage interface 13 can be conveniently connected to the connection pipe of the water tank assembly 200, and the water tank assembly 200 can be connected to the drainage assembly 100 through the sleeve fitting of the sealing member. The radial compression amount of the sealing member can be greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 15%, so as to ensure the sealing performance and extend the service life of the sealing member.

[0070] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the water tank assembly 200 includes a normal temperature water tank 210, a hot tank assembly 220 and / or a cold tank assembly 230; wherein, the normal temperature water tank 210 and the hot tank assembly 220 can be connected via a three-way pipe, and one of the interfaces of the three-way pipe can be connected to the drainage interface 13 of the drainage assembly 100 via a seal, so that the synchronous drainage of the normal temperature water tank 210 and the hot tank assembly 220 can be achieved, and the drainage efficiency is improved. In addition, the temperature difference between the normal temperature water tank 210 and the hot tank assembly 220 is small, which can reduce the temperature cross-talk between the normal temperature water tank 210 and the hot tank assembly 220.

[0071] In some specific examples of the present invention, the main body 10 has a clearance hole 19, which runs through the opposite sides of the main body 10 along the thickness direction. The clearance hole 19 can be used for the clearance hole 19 pipe to pass through so that the bucket located on one side of the drainage assembly 100 is connected to the water tank assembly 200 located on the other side of the drainage assembly 100.

[0072] In some specific examples of the present invention, the main body 10 has a plurality of positioning portions, and the plurality of positioning portions are used to position the wiring harness inside the water dispenser 1000 to improve the cleanliness inside the water dispenser 1000 and avoid mutual interference between the wiring harness and structural parts.

[0073] In some specific examples of the present invention, the main body 10 has a shielding portion, which is located at the vertical edge of the main body 10 along the thickness direction, and is used to shield structural parts, wiring harnesses, etc. arranged on the drainage assembly 100, so as to prevent the interior of the water dispenser 1000 from being exposed to the outside and affecting the normal operation of the water dispenser 1000.

[0074] In some specific examples of the present invention, the main body 10 has a third positioning structure, which can be located at the vertical edge of the main body 10 along the thickness direction and arranged close to the drainage interface 13. The third positioning structure can be used to position the door-controlled switch. When the door of the water dispenser 1000 is opened, the door-controlled switch can be triggered. The door-controlled switch can transmit signals with the electronic control component to control the functional parts in the water dispenser 1000 to stop running, thereby avoiding damage to the functional parts when technicians maintain the water dispenser 1000.

[0075] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some specific examples of the present invention, the water dispenser 1000 also includes a water inlet assembly 300, and the normal temperature water tank 210, the hot tank assembly 220 and the cold tank assembly 230 can be installed on the water inlet assembly. The water inlet assembly 300 guides the water flow of the normal temperature water tank 210 to flow to the hot tank assembly 220 and the cold tank assembly 230, or guides the water in the normal temperature water tank 210 to flow out; it can also guide the water in the hot tank assembly 220 and the cold tank assembly 230 to flow out.

[0076] Compared with the related art that drains water by connecting the water tank assembly 200 through a silicone pipe, the utility model drains water by draining the water tank assembly 200 through the drain assembly 100, which can reduce the odor generated by the soft silicone tube and avoid the leakage problem caused by the aging of the soft silicone tube. Among them, the drain assembly 100 can be made of food-grade PP injection molding, which is highly hygienic and safe.
