[0037] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8A water dispenser 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0038] The water dispenser 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a housing 11 and a water faucet 12. The water faucet 12 is arranged outside the housing 11, and the water faucet 12 has a water outlet 121. An adapter 60 can be arranged in the housing 11, and the water faucet 12 is mounted on the adapter 60. A through hole can be arranged on the housing 11, and one end of the water faucet 12 can extend into the housing 11 through the through hole to communicate with the water path in the housing 11. The water faucet 12 has a switch, which can be used to open or close the water outlet 121. When water needs to be collected, the water faucet 12 can be opened, and water can flow out from the water outlet 121; when water collection is finished, the water outlet 121 can be closed.

[0039] The water dispenser 100 further includes a water collecting box 13, which is disposed outside the housing 11 and is located below the water outlet faucet 12. When the water dispenser 100 is used to collect water, if the water cup is not aligned with the water outlet 121 of the water outlet faucet 12, and the water outlet faucet 12 is turned on, the water flowing out of the water outlet 121 may flow into the water collecting box 13; or, when collecting water, the water cup is full of water, but the user does not notice it, and the water flowing out of the water outlet 121 may flow into the water collecting box 13; the water collecting box 13 can temporarily hold water, which can prevent the water flowing out of the water outlet faucet 12 from spilling onto the ground, causing the ground to be slippery, causing pedestrians to slip, and other problems.

[0040] When a user uses a cup to collect water, the user is accustomed to placing the cup on the water collection box 13. However, the distance between the water collection box 13 and the water outlet 121 in the prior art is generally between 150mm and 190mm. If the user uses a tall cup, the height of the tall cup is above 200mm, and the user cannot place the tall cup on the water collection box 13. The user needs to hold the tall cup to collect water, and the user's use experience is low. Therefore, the present application proposes that in the up and down directions, the distance between the water outlet 121 and the water collection box 13 is a, which satisfies: 227mm≤a≤233mm. The distance between the water outlet 121 and the water collection box 13 is increased to between 227mm and 233mm. When the user uses the water dispenser 100, whether it is a low-height water cup or a high-height water cup, it can be well placed on the water collection box 13 without being interfered by the water outlet 12, which can better free the user's hands, improve the user's use experience, and the comfort when using the water dispenser 100. For example, the distance between the water collecting box 13 and the water outlet 121 may be 227 mm, 229 mm, 230 mm, 231 mm or 233 mm.

[0041] In the related art, the height of the tall water cup used by the user is about 220 mm; however, the present application adjusts the minimum distance between the water outlet 121 and the water collecting box 13 to 227 mm, which can meet the needs of most users for using tall water cups.

[0042] According to the water dispenser 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, in the up and down directions, the distance between the water outlet 121 of the water outlet faucet 12 and the water collecting box 13 is increased to between 227mm and 233mm. When the user uses the water dispenser 100, whether it is a low water cup or a high water cup, it can be better placed on the water collecting box 13 without being interfered by the water outlet faucet 12, which can better free the user's hands and improve the user's sense of use and comfort.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 The distance between the water outlet 121 and the water collecting box 13 is 230 mm. The distance between the water outlet 121 and the water collecting box 13 is accurately adjusted to 230 mm, which not only ensures that the user can place a tall water cup on the water collecting box 13 when using it; but also fixes the distance between the water outlet 121 and the water collecting box 13 to a specific value. In the subsequent production and processing of the water dispenser 100, it can be produced according to this data, which is conducive to the standardization of the water dispenser 100 and the precise control of production and processing.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2-Figure 8 The water dispenser 100 also includes a waterway plate assembly 20, which is located in the housing 11. The waterway plate assembly 20 includes a waterway plate 2 and a water distribution tank 4. The waterway plate 2 is provided with a water outlet channel 3, which is connected between the water distribution tank 4 and the water outlet faucet 12. A water bucket is placed on the water dispenser 100, and the water in the water bucket can flow to the water distribution tank 4, which can divert or store water. The water in the water distribution tank 4 can flow to the water outlet faucet 12 through the water outlet channel 3, and flow into the water cup through the water outlet faucet 12, which is convenient for users to take water. Integrating the water outlet channel 3 on the waterway plate 2 can make the arrangement of the water outlet channel 3 centralized, and can reduce the water flow resistance and increase the water flow rate compared to using a silicone tube to connect the water distribution tank 4 and the water outlet faucet 12.

[0045] When a silicone tube is used to connect the water distribution tank 4 and the water outlet faucet 12, the silicone tube may be twisted or bent, resulting in a large flow resistance of water in the silicone tube. At the same water outlet height, the water outlet flow rate of the water dispenser 100 with the water outlet channel 3 integrated on the waterway plate 2 is increased by 30% compared with the water dispenser 100 with the water distribution tank 4 and the water outlet faucet 12 connected by a silicone tube.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 8The water dispenser 100 also includes a smart seat 51, on which the water bucket is placed. The smart seat 51 is used to fix the water bucket. The bottom of the smart seat 51 has a water outlet, and the outlet of the water bucket is connected to the water outlet. Under the action of gravity, the water in the water bucket can flow to the water distribution tank 4 through the outlet and the water outlet of the water bucket.

[0047] Since the distance between the water outlet 121 and the water collecting box 13 is increased, and the distance between the water outlet hole and the water outlet 121 is adjusted in the up and down direction, the distance between the water outlet hole and the water outlet 121 is b, which satisfies: 114mm≤b≤120mm, so that the total height of the water dispenser 100 remains unchanged. For example, the distance between the water outlet hole and the water outlet 121 can be 114mm, 116mm, 117mm, 119mm or 120mm, etc.

[0048] In the related art, the distance between the water outlet hole and the water outlet 121 is about 150 mm. Under the action of gravity, the flow rate of water in the water distribution tank 4 to the water outlet 121 can be guaranteed; in order to ensure that the total height of the water dispenser 100 remains unchanged, the distance between the water outlet hole and the water outlet 121 is reduced in the present application. Since the distance between the water outlet hole and the water outlet 121 is reduced, the water pressure will be reduced, and the water pressure reduction will lead to a decrease in the water flow rate. The present application integrates the water outlet channel 3 on the waterway plate 2, which can reduce the resistance of water flowing in the water outlet channel 3 and increase the water flow rate to solve the problem of reduced water flow rate caused by reduced water pressure.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 8 In the up and down direction, the distance between the water outlet hole and the water outlet 121 is 117 mm, which not only ensures that the total height of the water dispenser 100 remains unchanged and does not increase the height of the water dispenser 100; and the distance between the water outlet hole and the water outlet 121 is fixed to a specific value. In the subsequent production and processing of the water dispenser 100, it can be produced according to this data, which is conducive to the standardization of the water dispenser 100 and the precise control of production and processing.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2-Figure 5 , Figure 8The water dispenser 100 further includes a cold water tank 52 and a hot water tank 53. The waterway plate 2 is provided with a first water inlet channel 34 and a second water inlet channel 35. The first water inlet channel 34 is used to connect the cold water tank 52 with the water distribution tank 4. The water in the water distribution tank 4 can flow into the cold water tank 52 through the first water inlet channel 34. The cold water tank 52 can cool the water in the cold water tank 52. The second water inlet channel 35 is used to connect the hot water tank 53 with the water distribution tank 4. The water in the water distribution tank 4 can flow into the hot water tank 53 through the second water inlet channel 35. The hot water tank 53 can heat the water in the hot water tank 53. The water distribution tank 4 is used to store normal temperature water, the cold water tank 52 is used to store cold water, and the hot water tank 53 is used to store hot water. Users can connect water of different temperatures according to their needs, which can provide users with a variety of choices.

[0051] At the same time, a first water inlet channel 34 and a second water inlet channel 35 are provided on the waterway plate 2, which can simplify the arrangement of the pipelines in the water dispenser 100 and improve the water flow rate; the first water inlet channel 34 and the second water inlet channel 35 are integrally formed on the waterway plate 2, and then the waterway plate 2 is installed in the shell 11 of the water dispenser 100, which can simplify the assembly of the water dispenser 100 and improve the assembly efficiency.

[0052] The water distribution tank 4 for storing normal temperature water, the cold water tank 52 for storing cold water and the hot water tank 53 for storing hot water are arranged separately, which can avoid the cold water stored in the cold water tank 52 and the hot water stored in the hot water tank 53 from affecting the temperature of the normal temperature water in the water distribution tank 4.

[0053] Moreover, in the related art, the industry generally adopts that the normal temperature water outlet of the water dispenser 100 is that the normal temperature water is discharged from the upper part of the cold box, the water inlet of the hot box is connected to the bottom of the cold box, and the hot box water replenishment needs to pass through the cold box, which is equivalent to the cold box being a distribution container for various water of the entire machine. Specifically, a plastic diverter plate is used to separate the upper and lower areas inside the cold box, and the upper and lower areas are connected. After the bottled water from the water dispenser enters the cold box, the water out of the upper area of ​​the cold box is normal temperature water, and cold water is discharged from the bottom of the lower area of ​​the cold box. Such a traditional design will cause the first few cups of normal temperature water to be colder when normal temperature water is not taken for a long time (for example, more than 1 hour). Because normal temperature water is not taken for a long time, the cold box will cool all the water inside to the same set low temperature. In addition, the volume of the normal temperature water storage area in the industry is small, and taking normal temperature water for a long time will result in obvious flow attenuation and interruption problems. The water inlet to the hot box also passes through the normal temperature water area on the upper part of the cold box, passes through the central pipe of the diverter plate inside the cold box, and enters the hot box. The water inlet to the hot box will also be colder, reducing heating efficiency and increasing energy consumption.

[0054] In the present application, room temperature water and cold water are not in the same storage container, and room temperature water and hot water are not in the same storage container. The cold water tank 52 and the hot water tank 53 of the water dispenser 100 are replenished with room temperature water in the water distribution tank 4, ensuring that the water entering the cold water tank 52 and the hot water tank 53 are all room temperature water, thereby reducing the temperature cross-talk in the water circuit inside the water dispenser 100, and reducing the energy consumption of cooling the cold water tank 52 or heating the hot water tank 53.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2-Figure 7 The first water inlet channel 34 and / or the second water inlet channel 35 extend in the up-down direction. The first water inlet channel 34 may extend in the up-down direction, the second water inlet channel 35 may extend in the up-down direction, or both of them may extend in the up-down direction. The cold water tank 52 and the hot water tank 53 are both located at the lower side of the waterway plate 2. The first water inlet channel 34 is used to connect the cold water tank 52 and the water distribution tank 4. The first water inlet channel 34 extends in the up-down direction. The water in the water distribution tank 4 can flow directly into the cold water tank 52 by gravity, which can reduce the flow resistance of water in the first water inlet channel 34. The second water inlet channel 35 is used to connect the hot water tank 53 and the water distribution tank 4. The second water inlet channel 35 extends in the up-down direction. The water in the water distribution tank 4 can flow directly into the hot water tank 53 by gravity, which can reduce the flow resistance of water in the second water inlet channel 35.

[0056] The cold water tank 52 and the hot water tank 53 are directly connected to the waterway plate 2. When assembling the water dispenser 100, no additional pipeline is required between the first water inlet channel 34 of the waterway plate 2 and the cold water tank 52, and no additional pipeline is required between the second water inlet channel 35 of the waterway plate 2 and the hot water tank 53. This can not only reduce the resistance of water in the first water inlet channel 34 and the second water inlet channel 35, but also increase the flow rate of water in the first water inlet channel 34 and the second water inlet channel 35; it can also improve the assembly efficiency of the waterway plate 2 and the cold water tank 52 and the hot water tank 53. The cold water tank 52 and the hot water tank 53 are directly connected to the waterway plate 2 in a detachable manner, which can facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the cold water tank 52 and the hot water tank 53.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2-Figure 8 The water outlet faucet 12 includes a first water outlet faucet 122, a second water outlet faucet 123 and a third water outlet faucet 124, the water outlet channel 3 includes a first water outlet channel 31, a second water outlet channel 32 and a third water outlet channel 33, the first water outlet channel 31 is used to connect the cold water tank 52 with the first water outlet faucet 122, the second water outlet channel 32 is used to connect the water distribution tank 4 with the second water outlet faucet 123, and the third water outlet channel 33 is used to connect the hot water tank 53 with the third water outlet faucet 124.

[0058] The first water outlet faucet 122 is used to open or close the first water outlet channel 31, the second water outlet faucet 123 is used to open or close the second water outlet channel 32, and the third water outlet faucet 124 is used to open or close the third water outlet channel 33. Each water outlet faucet corresponds to a water outlet channel and can control the corresponding water outlet channel to open or close.

[0059] Specifically, the normal temperature water in the water distribution tank 4 can flow into the cold water tank 52 through the first water inlet channel 34, and the cold water tank 52 can cool the normal temperature water. The cooled cold water can flow to the first water outlet faucet 122 through the first water outlet channel 31, and flow out through the water outlet 121 of the first water outlet faucet 122, so as to provide cold water for the user. The normal temperature water in the water distribution tank 4 can flow into the hot water tank 53 through the first water inlet channel 34, and the hot water tank 53 can heat the normal temperature water. The heated hot water can flow to the third water outlet faucet 124 through the third water outlet channel 33, and flow out through the water outlet 121 of the third water outlet faucet 124, so as to provide hot water for the user. The normal temperature water in the water distribution tank 4 can flow directly to the second water outlet faucet 123 through the second water outlet channel 32, and flow out through the water outlet 121 of the second water outlet faucet 123, so as to provide normal temperature water for the user.

[0060] The first water outlet channel 31, the second water outlet channel 32 and the third water outlet channel 33 are integrated on the waterway plate 2. The first water outlet channel 31 is directly connected to the cold water tank 52, the second water outlet channel 32 is directly connected to the water distribution tank 4, and the third water outlet channel 33 is directly connected to the hot water tank 53. When assembling the water dispenser 100, no additional pipeline is required between the first water outlet channel 31 of the waterway plate 2 and the cold water tank 52, no additional pipeline is required between the second water outlet channel 32 of the waterway plate 2 and the water distribution tank 4, and no additional pipeline is required between the third water outlet channel 33 of the waterway plate 2 and the hot water tank 53. This can not only reduce the resistance of water in the first water outlet channel 31, the second water outlet channel 32 and the third water outlet channel 33, but also improve the flow rate of water in the first water inlet channel 34, the second water outlet channel 32 and the third water outlet channel 33; it can also improve the assembly efficiency of the waterway plate 2 and the cold water tank 52 and the hot water tank 53.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2-Figure 8 In the water outlet direction, the first water outlet channel 31 includes a first sub-channel 311 and a second sub-channel 312. The first sub-channel 311 extends in the up-down direction, and the second sub-channel 312 extends in the front-back direction. A turning point is formed at the connection between the first sub-channel 311 and the second sub-channel 312, and the first sub-channel 311 is connected to the bottom of one end of the second sub-channel 312. The cold water tank 52 is also located below the waterway plate 2, which can facilitate the connection between the first sub-channel 311 and the cold water tank 52.

[0062] The second water outlet channel 32 includes a third sub-channel 321 and a fourth sub-channel 322. The third sub-channel 321 extends in the up-down direction, and the fourth sub-channel 322 extends in the front-back direction. A turn is formed at the connection between the third sub-channel 321 and the fourth sub-channel 322, and the third sub-channel 321 is connected to the top of one end of the fourth sub-channel 322. The water distribution tank 4 is also located above the waterway plate 2, which can facilitate the connection between the third sub-channel 321 and the water distribution tank 4.

[0063] The third water outlet channel 33 includes a fifth sub-channel 331 and a sixth sub-channel 332. The fifth sub-channel 331 extends in the up-down direction, and the sixth sub-channel 332 extends in the front-back direction.
