[0031] The water receiving box 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 According to the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model, the water collecting box 100 includes a box body 10 and a water leakage cover 20. The top of the box body 10 has an opening 10a. The water leakage cover 20 is rotatably connected to the opening 10a. The water leakage cover 20 includes a driving part 21, which is used to drive the water leakage cover 20 to rotate to open the opening 10a.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-Figure 4The water receiving box 100 in the embodiment of the utility model includes a box body 10, and the box body 10 can be used to contain accumulated water, etc. The shape of the box body 10 is not limited, and can be square, round, polygonal, etc. The top of the box body 10 has an opening 10a, and the accumulated water can enter the box body 10 through the opening 10a, and can also be poured out through the opening 10a. The leaking cover 20 is rotatably connected to the opening 10a, which is convenient for opening and closing the opening 10a, and is convenient for pouring out the accumulated water. The leaking cover 20 is connected to the opening 10a, and when pouring out the accumulated water, it is not easy to separate from the box body 10, and it is not easy to be poured out together with the accumulated water, which improves the user experience. The leaking cover 20 includes a driving part 21, and the driving part 21 is used to drive the leaking cover 20 to rotate. When it is necessary to pour out the accumulated water, the driving part 21 is operated to drive the leaking cover 20 to rotate, open the opening 10a, and pour out the accumulated water in the box body 10, which is easy to operate.

[0034] Therefore, refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 According to the water collecting box 100 of the utility model, the water leakage cover 20 is rotatably connected to the opening 10a at the top of the box body 10, so that when pouring out the accumulated water, the water leakage cover 20 is not easily separated from the box body 10, thereby improving the user experience. A driving part 21 is provided on the water leakage cover 20, and the water leakage cover 20 can be driven to rotate by operating the driving part 21, thereby opening the opening 10a, which is easy to operate.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1-Figure 4 The water leakage cover 20 also includes a supporting portion 22, and the supporting portion 22 has a supporting surface 22a. The rotation axis of the water leakage cover 20 is parallel to the plane where the supporting surface 22a is located. In the projection of the plane where the supporting surface 22a is located, the driving portion 21 and the supporting portion 22 are respectively located on both sides of the rotation axis. The driving portion 21 is used to drive the supporting portion 22 to rotate to open the opening 10a.

[0036] The support portion 22 can be used for supporting, for example, a water container such as a water cup. The support portion 22 has a support surface 22a, and a water container such as a water cup can be placed on the support surface 22a. For the convenience of support, the support surface 22a is generally set to be parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0037] The rotation axis of the water leakage cover 20 is parallel to the plane where the support surface 22a is located, so that the parts on both sides of the rotation axis rotate in opposite directions respectively.

[0038] In the projection of the plane where the support surface 22a is located, the driving part 21 and the supporting part 22 are respectively located on both sides of the rotation axis. In this way, by pressing the driving part 21 downward, the supporting part 22 can be rotated in the counterclockwise direction to open the opening 10a, which can be operated with one hand and is easy to use.

[0039] In some embodiments, in the projection of the plane where the support surface 22a is located, the driving part 21 and the supporting part 22 may also be located on the same side of the rotation axis. For example, the driving part 21 may be disposed at the edge of the supporting part 22. In this way, the opening 10a may be fully opened to facilitate dumping of the accumulated water.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water leakage cover 20 has a support surface 22a, the rotation axis of the water leakage cover 20 is perpendicular to the plane where the support surface 22a is located, and the projection of the driving part 21 on the plane where the support surface 22a is located is located inside or outside the projection of the opening 10a on the plane where the support surface 22a is located.

[0041] The support surface 22a is used to support a water container such as a water cup. The rotation axis of the water leaking cover 20 is perpendicular to the plane where the support surface 22a is located, so that the water leaking cover 20 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise on a plane parallel to the plane where the support surface 22a is located.

[0042] When the projection of the driving part 21 on the plane where the support surface 22a is located is located within the projection of the opening 10a on the plane where the support surface 22a is located, the driving part 21 may be a concave surface provided on the water leakage cover 20. Furthermore, if the projection of the rotation axis 23 line on the plane where the support surface 22a is located is located within the projection of the opening 10a on the plane where the support surface 22a is located, the volume of the water receiving box 100 can be reduced. At this time, if the opening 10a is a circular equiaxially symmetrical structure, the rotation axis 23 line does not coincide with the center of the circle; if the projection of the rotation axis 23 line on the plane where the support surface 22a is located is located outside the projection of the opening 10a on the plane where the support surface 22a is located, the opening 10a can be fully opened, thereby improving the efficiency of dumping the accumulated water.

[0043] When the projection of the driving part 21 on the plane where the support surface 22a is located is outside the projection of the opening 10a on the plane where the support surface 22a is located, the driving part 21 can be one or two. When the projection of the rotating shaft 23 line on the plane where the support surface 22a is located is located inside the projection of the opening 10a on the plane where the support surface 22a is located, the driving part 21 can be set to one. When the projection of the rotating shaft 23 line on the plane where the support surface 22a is located is outside the projection of the opening 10a on the plane where the support surface 22a is located, the driving part 21 can be set to two. In this case, the leaking cover 20 can be divided into two parts, and the two driving parts 21 drive one part respectively, and the two driving parts 21 are cross-rotatably connected to the same rotating shaft 23.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The projection of the water leaking cover 20 on the plane where the support surface 22 a is located is located within the projection of the opening 10 a on the plane where the support surface 22 a is located. At least one support body 11 is provided in the box body 10 , and the support body 11 is supported between the support portion 22 and the box body 10 .

[0045] Since the projection of the water leakage cover 20 on the plane where the support surface 22a is located is located within the projection of the opening 10a on the plane where the support surface 22a is located, the water leakage cover 20 is propped up by providing the support body 11 to prevent the water leakage cover 20 from contacting the bottom surface of the box body 10. The support body 11 is supported between the support part 22 and the box body 10, which is not easy to block the driving part 21, and it is convenient to press the driving part 21 downward.

[0046] In some embodiments, the support body 11 may be a boss arranged circumferentially along the side wall of the box body 10, and the boss may be one continuous boss or multiple bosses arranged at intervals; the support body 11 may also be a column arranged on the bottom wall of the box body 10, and the column may be one or more columns; the support body 11 may also be a limiting rib connected between the side wall and the bottom wall of the box body 10, and the limiting rib may be one or more.

[0047] The support body 11 and the box body 10 can be fixedly connected, or integrally formed.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the projection area of ​​the driving portion 21 on the plane where the supporting surface 22a is located is smaller than the projection area of ​​the supporting portion 22 on the plane where the supporting surface 22a is located.

[0049] Setting the projection area of ​​the driving part 21 on the plane where the support surface 22a is located to be smaller than the projection area of ​​the supporting part 22 on the plane where the support surface 22a is located can increase the size of the opening 10a, making it easier to pour out the accumulated water.

[0050] Specifically, the ratio of the area of ​​the projection of the driving portion 21 on the plane where the supporting surface 22a is located to the area of ​​the projection of the supporting portion 22 on the plane where the supporting surface 22a is located can be 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:7, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lower surface of the water leakage cover 20 is provided with a rotating shaft 23 along the direction of the rotating axis, and at least one column 12 is provided in the box body 10, and the column 12 is provided with an axis groove 12a that is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 23. Through the rotational cooperation between the rotating shaft 23 and the axis groove 12a, the water leakage cover 20 is rotatably connected to the column 12. At the same time, the setting of the column 12 can play a certain supporting role for the water leakage cover 20.

[0052] Specifically, the rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the water leakage cover 20. For example, the rotating shaft 23 can be directly fixedly connected to the lower surface of the water leakage cover 20. In this case, the shaft groove 12a can have a snap-fitting opening, and the rotating shaft 23 and the shaft groove 12a can be snap-fitted. It is convenient to disassemble the water leakage cover 20 and clean the inside of the box body 10. Among them, the arc of the cross section of the shaft groove 12a should be greater than 1 / 2 of the arc. For example, it can be 2 / 3, 3 / 4, etc.

[0053] The rotating shaft 23 can also be fixedly connected to the lower surface of the water leakage cover 20 through the connecting portion. At this time, the rotating shaft 23 can be inserted into the shaft groove 12a.

[0054] The rotating shaft 23 and the water leakage cover 20 can be fixedly connected by welding, or can be integrally formed.

[0055] The column 12 can be one or more than two. When there is one column 12, the column 12 can extend along the rotation axis. When there are more than two columns 12, the two or more columns 12 can be spaced apart along the axis of the rotating shaft 23.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The lower surface of the water leakage cover 20 is provided with an axis groove 12a along the rotation axis direction, and at least one column 12 is provided in the box body 10, and the column 12 is provided with a rotating shaft 23 that matches the axis groove 12a. Through the rotational cooperation between the rotating shaft 23 and the axis groove 12a, the water leakage cover 20 is rotatably connected to the column 12. At the same time, the setting of the column 12 can play a certain supporting role for the water leakage cover 20.

[0057] Specifically, there may be one or more shaft grooves 12a. When there is one shaft groove 12a, the shaft groove 12a extends along the rotation axis direction, and when there are more than two shaft grooves 12a, the more than two shaft grooves 12a are arranged at intervals along the rotation axis direction.

[0058] There can be one or more pillars 12. When there is one pillar 12, the pillar 12 extends along the direction of the rotation axis; when there are more than two pillars 12, the more than two pillars 12 are spaced apart along the direction of the rotation axis.

[0059] The shaft groove 12a may be provided with a snap-fit ​​opening to be snap-connected with the rotating shaft 23, so as to facilitate disassembly and assembly and to facilitate cleaning of the interior of the box body 10. The shaft groove 12a may also be provided as a closed portion, and the rotating shaft 23 is inserted into the shaft groove 12a.

[0060] In some embodiments, one of the water leakage cover 20 and the side wall of the box body 10 is provided with a rotating shaft 23 extending along the rotation axis direction, and the other is provided with an axis groove 12a matched with the rotating shaft 23. The rotating shaft 23 and the axis groove 12a can be one or two.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 5 The box body 10 has a water outlet 10b, and the side wall of the box body 10 has a guide surface 10c, which extends to the water outlet 10b. By providing the water outlet 10b and the guide surface 10c connected to the water outlet 10b, when pouring the accumulated water, the water can flow out of the water outlet 10b along the guide surface 10c, and the water can flow smoothly.

[0062] Specifically, the side walls of the box body 10 located on both sides of the water outlet 10b have guide surfaces 10c.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 5 The guide surface 10c is a concave arc surface. By setting the guide surface 10c as a concave arc surface, it is convenient to gather water flow and improve the smoothness of water discharge.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 6 The driving part 21 is integrally formed with the supporting part 22. By forming the driving part 21 and the supporting part as an integral part, the structural stability is high and the production is convenient.

[0065] It is understandable that the driving part 21 and the supporting part 22 may also be fixedly connected, for example, by welding.

[0066] The water dispenser according to the second embodiment of the present invention comprises the water receiving box 100 in the above embodiment.

[0067] The water dispenser according to the embodiment of the utility model adopts the water receiving box 100 in the above embodiment, which makes it easy to pour out the accumulated water and improves the user experience.

[0068] Specifically, the water dispenser includes a machine body, and a water receiving box 100 is connected to the machine body in a detachable manner such as a buckle. The water receiving box 100 is installed below the water outlet 10b of the machine body.
