[0003] The water dispenser includes a body and a water pump installed in the body. The water in the water storage container is sent out of the water dispenser through the water outlet by the water pump and then taken by the user. With the use of the water dispenser, the water pump may age with the increase of working hours, the flow rate may be significantly reduced, the pipes inside the water pump may be blocked, etc., or when the water pump is damaged due to transportation, collision, etc., the pumping pressure of the water pump may be weakened or the pumping work may be unable to be performed, so the water pump needs to be replaced. In the conventional technology, an openable and closable upper cover is provided on the top of the machine body. When the water pump needs to be replaced, the upper cover can be opened, and then the water pump is removed and taken out from the machine body, and then the new water pump is placed in the machine body for installation. However, the upper cover also has the functions of carrying a water container, having an operation panel, and even having a bottom-inlet kettle. On the one hand, it is difficult to remove the upper cover, and on the other hand, it may cause some functions of the upper cover to be damaged, thereby affecting the service life of the upper cover. In addition, a vertical back panel with functional parts such as a water faucet or an operation panel is provided on one side of the upper cover, which further increases the difficulty of removing the upper cover and affects the operating space when the upper cover is removed or opened, resulting in a cumbersome process of replacing the water pump and making it difficult for users to replace it.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this application are as follows:

[0019] 1. The water dispenser of the present application sets the opening of the installation cavity on the rear side of the body, and is provided with a rear cover for opening or closing the opening. When the user needs to inspect or replace the internal components of the body, the installation cavity can be opened through the rear cover to perform subsequent operations, which simplifies the process of opening and closing the installation cavity for the user and optimizes the user's usage experience; in addition, the water delivery unit is detachably installed in the installation cavity, and a transfer channel is set in the installation cavity. When it is necessary to inspect or replace the components in the water delivery unit, it is only necessary to pull out the water delivery unit along the transfer channel. The process of taking out the water delivery unit is easy and convenient. Compared with the method of taking out the water delivery unit from the top of the body in the prior art, the user does not need to apply force to lift the water delivery unit, so that the user can take out the water delivery unit more easily. Moreover, when the water delivery unit is large in size or heavy in weight, it is inconvenient for the user to lift the water delivery unit with one hand, and two hands need to be inserted into the body at the same time to pull up the water delivery unit. However, due to the spatial arrangement of the installation cavity, it is difficult for the user to insert both hands into the installation cavity at the same time, which further increases the difficulty for the user to take out the water delivery unit. However, the present application adopts the pulling method to take out the water delivery unit, which does not have this problem. The user can easily take out the water delivery unit from the installation cavity with one hand. In addition, since the water pump is a consumable part that is relatively frequently replaced in the water dispenser, the water delivery unit can be easily removed from the installation cavity by pulling the water delivery unit out. The water unit includes a positioning bracket and a water pump, which is convenient for users to inspect or replace the water pump; similarly, the water dispenser of the present application also reduces the difficulty for users to install the water delivery unit into the installation cavity after inspecting the components. Users only need to place the inspected or replaced water delivery unit on the transfer channel and push the water delivery unit into the installation cavity; that is, the water dispenser of the present application is more convenient when disassembling and installing the water delivery unit, and the process of disassembling and assembling the water delivery unit will not interfere with other components of the machine body. The assembly and disassembly process is simple and easy, which improves the user experience in many aspects.

[0020] 2. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the water outlet is configured to include a first water outlet and a second water outlet, thereby increasing the amount of water supplied by the water dispenser at the same time. A single water dispenser can meet multiple water intake requirements at the same time. For example, the first water outlet is used to discharge hot water, and the second water outlet is used to discharge cold water. For another example, the first water outlet is arranged on a vertical back plate on one side of the top of the body for discharging water outward, and the second water outlet is arranged on an upper cover plate on the top of the body for connecting to a lower water inlet kettle placed on the upper cover plate; and the independent arrangement of the first water pump and the second water pump realizes independent water supply of the first water outlet and the second water outlet. When a single water pump is damaged, it can be ensured that the water dispenser has a water outlet for water intake, and when the water delivery unit is repaired, only the damaged water pump needs to be replaced, and the undamaged water pump is retained, which is more economical; and the first water pump and the second water pump are detachably mounted on the positioning bracket, which reduces the difficulty of replacing the water pump, so that the user can easily remove the damaged water pump and replace it with a new one, thereby improving the user experience in many aspects. In addition, when two water outlets, namely the first water outlet and the second water outlet, are provided, by providing two water pumps, namely the first water pump and the second water pump, it can be ensured that when the first water outlet and the second water outlet discharge water at the same time, the water output of both water outlets per unit time will not be affected, thereby improving the user's water-taking experience.

[0021] 3. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the positioning bracket is configured to include a first mounting position and a second mounting position, and the first water pump and the second water pump are separated from each other, so as to avoid interference between the first water pump and the second water pump during assembly or disassembly, thereby improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the first water pump and the second water pump; in addition, the first mounting position and the second mounting position can be arranged side by side in the up-down direction or the left-right direction, so that the water delivery unit can be adaptively designed according to the size and shape of the installation cavity. When the vertical space of the installation cavity is large and the horizontal space is small, the first mounting position and the second mounting position can be arranged side by side in the up-down direction. On the contrary, when the vertical space of the installation cavity is small and the horizontal space is large, the first mounting position and the second mounting position can be arranged side by side in the left-right direction, thereby improving the adaptability of the positioning bracket to the installation cavity space. The first mounting position and the second mounting position are arranged side by side in the up-down direction or the left-right direction, which also provides an installation basis for the separate disassembly of the first water pump and the second water pump, and the non-interference during the disassembly process.

[0022] 4. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, by setting up an over-flow sterilization module, the water provided by the water pump can be purified to improve the quality of drinking water for users; and the over-flow sterilization module is respectively connected to the water outlet and the water outlet of the water pump, so that the drinking water purified by the over-flow sterilization module can be directly taken by the user through the water outlet, avoiding the possibility of the purified drinking water being contaminated during transportation; in addition, the over-flow sterilization module is installed on the positioning bracket, so that the positioning bracket further integrates the function of installing the over-flow sterilization module on the basis of the function of installing the water pump, eliminating the need to set up a separate installation position for installing the over-flow sterilization module at other positions of the installation cavity, and the positioning bracket function is further integrated, which improves the modular effect of the water delivery unit and optimizes the structural design of the water dispenser. At the same time, in this embodiment, the over-flow sterilization module as a part of the water delivery unit can also be disassembled synchronously with the positioning bracket, thereby providing convenience for the maintenance and replacement of the over-flow sterilization module.

[0023] 5. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, by providing a first water outlet, a second water outlet and a first water pump and a second water pump corresponding thereto respectively, the water dispenser can meet multiple water intake demands at the same time, thereby improving the water supply efficiency of the water dispenser; and a three-way valve is provided in the water delivery unit, so that the over-flow sterilization module can selectively purify the water provided by the first water pump and the second water pump or purify the water simultaneously through the three-way valve. When only one of the two water outlets is working, for example, water is only taken through the first water outlet, the three-way valve closes the water channel between the second water pump and the over-flow sterilization module, and opens the water channel between the first water pump and the over-flow sterilization module, thereby realizing over-flow sterilization. The module's separate purification of the water supplied by the first water pump helps to reduce the working energy consumption of the over-current sterilization module; in addition, the first water pump, the over-current sterilization module and the second water pump are arranged side by side in the up-down direction or the left-right direction, so that the water delivery unit can be adaptively designed according to the specific structure of the installation cavity. When the vertical space of the installation cavity is large and the horizontal space is small, the first water pump, the over-current sterilization module and the second water pump can be arranged side by side in the up-down direction. On the contrary, when the vertical space of the installation cavity is small and the horizontal space is large, the first water pump, the over-current sterilization module and the second water pump can be arranged side by side in the left-right direction, which improves the adaptability of the water delivery unit to the installation cavity space. In addition, the redundant space between the first installation position for installing the first water pump and the second installation position for installing the second water pump on the positioning bracket can be used to realize the installation and positioning of the over-current sterilization module, making the structure of the entire water delivery unit more compact, reducing the demand for installation space of the water delivery unit, and reducing the probability of interference with other components in the installation cavity during the movement of the water delivery unit in and out.

[0024] 6. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the positioning bracket includes a first bracket and a second bracket, the first bracket and the second bracket cooperate to enclose a first positioning cavity adapted to the over-current sterilization module; the first bracket and / or the second bracket are provided with a detachable connecting piece, and the first bracket and / or the second bracket are provided with a plurality of positioning structures for positioning the connecting piece at intervals along the axial direction of the first positioning cavity; the over-current sterilization module is detachably installed in the first positioning cavity through the connecting piece. Such an arrangement enables the over-current sterilization module to be relatively easily installed in and removed from the first positioning cavity. Since the water output of the water dispenser is related to the size and type of the water pump, different requirements are put forward for the sterilization water purification volume of the over-current sterilization module. When the water dispenser is equipped with a water pump with a smaller water volume, the requirement for the sterilization and purification water volume per unit time of the over-current sterilization module is not high. Therefore, a small-sized over-current sterilization module with a relatively small volume and short length can be selected. When the water dispenser is equipped with a water pump with a larger water volume, the requirement for the sterilization and purification water volume per unit time of the over-current sterilization module is higher, and a large-sized over-current sterilization module with a relatively large volume and long length is required. The present application facilitates the disassembly, assembly and replacement of the over-current sterilization module by providing a detachable connector and a positioning structure. At the same time, for over-current sterilization modules of different sizes and lengths, the number of connectors can be increased or reduced to meet the needs of fixing over-current sterilization modules with different lengths. That is, the fixing method of the connector and the positioning structure improves the adaptability to over-current sterilization modules of different lengths.

[0025] 7. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, by providing a first bracket and a second bracket and allowing the first bracket and the second bracket to enclose a second positioning cavity for installing a water pump, when installing the water pump, the water pump can be first fixed to one of the first bracket or the second bracket, and then the other of the two can be snapped together to complete the assembly of the positioning bracket, which simplifies the assembly process of the water delivery unit and improves the assembly efficiency of the water delivery unit; and a vibration damping member is provided in the second positioning cavity, which can absorb and reduce the vibration generated when the water pump is working, reduce the amplitude of the vibration transmitted by the water pump to other components of the water dispenser through the positioning bracket, thereby reducing the body vibration of the water dispenser, and helping to optimize the user experience. At the same time, the first bracket and the second bracket cooperate to enclose a second positioning cavity for installing the water pump, and the water pump is placed in the second positioning cavity, so that the first bracket and the second bracket can act as a soundproof cover to reduce the transmission of noise during the operation of the water pump, thereby improving the user experience.

[0026] 8. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, a plurality of clips are arranged in the second positioning cavity to abut against the vibration damper, which can support the vibration damper. When the vibration damper absorbs the vibration generated by the operation of the water pump, it is inevitable that some deformation or displacement will occur, and the clips can support the vibration damper to prevent the vibration damper from shifting, thereby providing a guarantee for the installation stability and stable vibration damping effect of the vibration damper. At the same time, the arrangement of the clips can reduce the contact area between the first bracket and the vibration damper, and between the second bracket and the vibration damper, thereby reducing the obstacles of the first bracket and the second bracket to the deformation of the vibration damper after vibration, improving the vibration absorption performance of the vibration damper, and thus improving the vibration damping effect.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a water dispenser comprises a body 1 and a water outlet arranged on the body 1, the body 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 4 and an opening 11 located at the rear side of the body 1 and connected to the mounting cavity 4, one side of the body 1 is provided with a rear cover plate 12 for opening or covering the opening 11, the water dispenser also comprises a water delivery unit 2 detachably mounted in the mounting cavity 4, the mounting cavity 4 is provided with a transfer channel extending in the front-to-back direction, the water delivery unit 2 translates along the transfer channel to move into or out of the mounting cavity 4 through the opening 11, the water delivery unit 2 comprises a positioning bracket 21 and a water pump 22 arranged on the positioning bracket 21 and used to pump water to the water outlet.

[0046] The water dispenser of the present application sets the opening 11 of the installation cavity 4 on the rear side of the body 1, and is provided with a rear cover 12 for opening or closing the opening 11. When the user needs to inspect or replace the internal components of the body 1, the installation cavity 4 can be opened through the rear cover 12 to perform subsequent operations, which simplifies the process of opening and closing the installation cavity 4 for the user and optimizes the user's usage experience; in addition, the water transfer unit 2 is detachably installed in the installation cavity 4, and a transfer channel is set in the installation cavity 4. When it is necessary to inspect or replace the components in the water transfer unit 2, it is only necessary to pull out the water transfer unit 2 along the transfer channel. The process of taking out the water transfer unit 2 is easy and convenient. Compared with the method of taking out the water transfer unit 2 from the top of the body 1 in the prior art, the user's need to apply force to pull the water transfer unit 2 is eliminated, so that the user can take out the water transfer unit 2 more easily. Moreover, when the water delivery unit 2 is large in size or heavy in weight, it is inconvenient for the user to lift the water delivery unit 2 with one hand, and two hands need to be inserted into the body 1 at the same time to pull up the water delivery unit 2. However, due to the spatial arrangement of the installation cavity 4, it is difficult for the user to insert both hands into the installation cavity 4 at the same time, which further increases the difficulty for the user to take out the water delivery unit 2. However, this problem does not exist in the present application, where the water delivery unit 2 is taken out in a pulling manner. The user can easily take out the water delivery unit 2 from the installation cavity 4 with one hand. In addition, since the water pump 22 is a consumable part that is relatively frequently replaced in the water dispenser, the water delivery unit 2 can be easily removed from the installation cavity 4 by pulling the water pump 22 out of the installation cavity 4. The unit 2 includes a positioning bracket 21 and a water pump 22, which is convenient for the user to repair or replace the water pump 22; similarly, the water dispenser of the present application also reduces the difficulty for the user to install the water delivery unit 2 into the installation cavity 4 after repairing the components. The user only needs to place the repaired or replaced water delivery unit 2 on the transfer channel and push the water delivery unit 2 into the installation cavity 4; that is, the water dispenser of the present application is more convenient when disassembling and installing the water delivery unit 2, and the process of disassembling and assembling the water delivery unit 2 will not interfere with other components of the body 1. The assembly and disassembly process is simple and easy, which improves the user experience in many aspects.

[0047] The present application does not limit the specific structural form of the transfer channel. In one embodiment, a panel for enclosing the transfer channel is provided in the installation cavity 4 to isolate the water transfer unit from other structural components in the installation cavity 4. In another embodiment, no physical structure such as a panel for enclosing the transfer channel is provided in the installation cavity 4, but by reasonably arranging the various structural components in the installation cavity 4 in space, a transfer space is freed up for the water transfer unit 2 to move in or out, so as to avoid being blocked by other structural components during the process of moving in and out, and the transfer space constitutes the transfer channel.

[0048] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the water outlet includes a first water outlet and a second water outlet, and the water pump 22 includes a first water pump 221 for pumping water to the first water outlet and a second water pump 222 for pumping water to the second water outlet. The first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 can be detachably installed on the positioning bracket 21.

[0049] The water outlet is set to include a first water outlet and a second water outlet, which increases the amount of water supplied by the water dispenser at the same time. A single water dispenser can meet multiple water intake needs at the same time. For example, the first water outlet is used to discharge hot water, and the second water outlet is used to discharge cold water. For another example, the first water outlet is set on the vertical back plate on the top side of the body 1 for discharging water outward, and the second water outlet is set on the upper cover plate on the top of the body 1 for connecting to a lower water-inlet kettle placed on the upper cover plate; and the independent setting of the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 realizes the first water outlet and The independent water supply of the second water outlet can ensure that the water dispenser has a water outlet for taking water when a single water pump 22 is damaged, and when the water delivery unit 2 is repaired, only the damaged water pump 22 needs to be replaced, and the undamaged water pump 22 is retained, which is more economical; and the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 are detachably installed on the positioning bracket 21, which reduces the difficulty of replacing the water pump 22, so that the user can easily remove the damaged water pump 22 and replace it with a new water pump 22, thereby improving the user's experience in many aspects. In addition, in the case of two water outlets, the first water outlet and the second water outlet, by setting two water pumps, the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222, it can be ensured that when the first water outlet and the second water outlet are discharging water at the same time, the water output per unit time of the two water pumps can be unaffected, thereby improving the user's water experience.

[0050] The present embodiment does not limit the detachable connection method between the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 and the positioning bracket 21 , and they may be connected by bolt connection, clamping connection, plug-in connection or other connection methods.

[0051] This embodiment does not limit the structural form of the positioning bracket 21, and it can adopt any one of the following embodiments:

The positioning bracket 21 is configured to include the first mounting position 211 and the second mounting position 212, and the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 are separated from each other, so that the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 are prevented from interfering with each other during the assembly or disassembly process, thereby improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222; in addition, the first mounting position 211 and the second mounting position 212 can be arranged side by side in the vertical direction, and when the vertical space of the installation cavity 4 is large and the horizontal space is small, the positioning bracket 21 is adapted to the spatial structure of the installation cavity 4, so that the user can easily pull out or push the positioning bracket 21 from the installation cavity 4, and reduce the probability of interference with other components in the installation cavity 4 during the process of the user pushing and pulling the positioning bracket 21. Furthermore, the first installation position 211 and the second installation position 212 are arranged side by side in the up-down direction, which also provides an installation basis for the separate disassembly of the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 and non-interference during the disassembly process.

The positioning bracket 21 is configured to include the first mounting position 211 and the second mounting position 212, and the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 are separated from each other, so that the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 are prevented from interfering with each other during the assembly or disassembly process, thereby improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222; in addition, the first mounting position 211 and the second mounting position 212 can be arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and when the vertical space of the installation cavity 4 is small and the horizontal space is large, the positioning bracket 21 is adapted to the spatial structure of the installation cavity 4, so that the user can easily pull out or push the positioning bracket 21 from the installation cavity 4, and reduce the probability of interference with other components in the installation cavity 4 during the process of the user pushing and pulling the positioning bracket 21. Furthermore, the first installation position 211 and the second installation position 212 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, which also provides an installation basis for the separate disassembly of the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 and non-interference during the disassembly process.

[0054] Embodiment 3: The positioning bracket 21 is provided with a first mounting position 211 and a second mounting position 212, the first water pump 221 is installed at the first mounting position 211, and the second water pump 222 is installed at the second mounting position 212; the first mounting position 211 and the second mounting position 212 are arranged side by side in the front-to-back direction.

[0055] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figure 4As shown, the water delivery unit 2 also includes an over-flow sterilization module 23 arranged on the positioning bracket 21, the water outlet end of the water pump 22 is connected to the water inlet end of the over-flow sterilization module 23, and the water outlet end of the over-flow sterilization module 23 is connected to the water outlet. By setting the over-current sterilization module 23, the water provided by the water pump 22 can be purified to improve the quality of drinking water for users; and the over-current sterilization module 23 is respectively connected to the water outlet and the water outlet of the water pump 22, so that the drinking water purified by the over-current sterilization module 23 can be directly taken by the user through the water outlet, avoiding the possibility of the purified drinking water being contaminated during transportation; in addition, the over-current sterilization module 23 is installed on the positioning bracket 21, so that the positioning bracket 21 further integrates the function of installing the over-current sterilization module 23 on the basis of the function of installing the water pump 22, eliminating the need to set a separate installation position for installing the over-current sterilization module 23 at other positions of the installation cavity 4, and the function of the positioning bracket 21 is further integrated, which improves the modular effect of the water delivery unit 2 and optimizes the structural design of the water dispenser. At the same time, in this embodiment, the over-current sterilization module 23 as a part of the water delivery unit 2 can also be disassembled synchronously with the positioning bracket 21, thereby providing convenience for the maintenance and replacement of the over-current sterilization module 23.

[0056] Specifically, the over-current sterilization module 23 may be an ultraviolet sterilizer or the like.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment of this implementation, Figure 4 As shown, the water outlet includes a first water outlet and a second water outlet, the water pump 22 includes a first water pump 221 for pumping water to the first water outlet and a second water pump 222 for pumping water to the second water outlet, the water transfer unit 2 also includes a three-way valve 24, and the overflow sterilization module 23 is connected to the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 respectively through the three-way valve 24; the first water pump 221, the overflow sterilization module 23 and the second water pump 222 are arranged side by side in the up and down direction or the left and right direction.

[0058] By setting the first water outlet, the second water outlet and the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 corresponding thereto, the water dispenser can meet multiple water intake requirements at the same time, thereby improving the water supply efficiency of the water dispenser; and a three-way valve 24 is set in the water delivery unit 2, so that the over-flow sterilization module 23 can purify the water provided by the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222 selectively or simultaneously through the three-way valve 24. When only one of the two water outlets is working, for example, water is only taken through the first water outlet, the three-way valve 24 closes the water channel between the second water pump 222 and the over-flow sterilization module 23, and opens the water channel between the first water pump 221 and the over-flow sterilization module 23, so that the over-flow sterilization module 23 purifies the water provided by the first water pump 221 and the second water pump 222. 1, which helps to reduce the working energy consumption of the over-flow sterilization module 23; in addition, the first water pump 221, the over-flow sterilization module 23 and the second water pump 222 are arranged side by side in the up-down direction or the left-right direction, so that the water delivery unit 2 can be adaptively designed according to the specific structure of the installation cavity 4. When the vertical space of the installation cavity 4 is large and the lateral space is small, the first water pump 221, the over-flow sterilization module 23 and the second water pump 222 can be arranged side by side in the up-down direction. Conversely, when the vertical space of the installation cavity 4 is small and the lateral space is large, the first water pump 221, the over-flow sterilization module 23 and the second water pump 222 can be arranged side by side in the left-right direction, thereby improving the adaptability of the water delivery unit 2 to the space of the installation cavity 4. In addition, the redundant space between the first mounting position for installing the first water pump 221 and the second mounting position for installing the second water pump 222 on the positioning bracket 21 can be used to realize the installation positioning of the over-flow sterilization module 23, making the structure of the entire water transfer unit 2 more compact, reducing the water transfer unit 2's demand for installation space, and also reducing the probability of interference between the water transfer unit 2 and other components in the installation cavity 4 during the process of moving in and out.

[0059] As a preferred example under this embodiment, Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, the positioning bracket 21 includes a first bracket 213 and a second bracket 214, and the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 cooperate to form a first positioning cavity adapted to the over-flow sterilization module 23; the first bracket 213 and / or the second bracket 214 are provided with a detachable connecting piece, and the first bracket 213 and / or the second bracket 214 are provided with a plurality of positioning structures 25 for positioning the connecting piece at axial intervals along the first positioning cavity; the over-flow sterilization module 23 is detachably installed in the first positioning cavity through the connecting piece.

[0060] Such an arrangement allows the over-flow sterilization module 23 to be easily installed in and removed from the first positioning cavity. Since the water output of the water dispenser is related to the size of the water pump 22, different requirements are placed on the sterilization water purification volume of the over-flow sterilization module 23. When the water dispenser is equipped with a water pump 22 with a smaller water pumping volume, the requirement for the sterilization and purification water volume per unit time of the over-current sterilization module 23 is not high. Therefore, a small-sized over-current sterilization module 23 with a relatively small volume and a shorter length can be selected. When the water dispenser is equipped with a water pump 22 with a larger water pumping volume, the requirement for the sterilization and purification water volume per unit time of the over-current sterilization module 23 is higher, and a large-sized over-current sterilization module 23 with a relatively large volume and a longer length needs to be adopted. The present application facilitates the disassembly, assembly and replacement of the over-current sterilization module 23 by providing a detachable connecting piece and a positioning structure 25. At the same time, for over-current sterilization modules 23 of different sizes and lengths, the number of connecting pieces can be increased or reduced to meet the fixation of over-current sterilization modules 23 with different lengths. That is, the fixing method of the connecting piece and the positioning structure 25 improves the adaptability to over-current sterilization modules 23 of different lengths.

[0061] This example does not limit the structural form of the connecting member and the positioning structure 25. In a preferred embodiment, the positioning structure 25 is configured as follows: Figure 5 The positioning through holes shown are distributed on both sides of the over-current sterilization module 23. The connecting piece is configured as a flexible binding belt. One end of the connecting piece is bound with the positioning through hole, and the other end surrounds the over-current sterilization module 23 and is bound in the positioning through hole located on the other side of the over-current sterilization module 23.

[0062] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figure 4As shown, the water transfer unit 2 also includes a shock-absorbing member 26 sleeved on the outside of the water pump 22, and the positioning bracket 21 includes a first bracket 213 and a second bracket 214. The first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 cooperate to form a second positioning cavity for installing the water pump 22. The water pump 22 is placed in the second positioning cavity, and the shock-absorbing member 26 is clamped between the inner wall of the second positioning cavity and the water pump 22. By setting the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 and making the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 enclose a second positioning cavity for installing the water pump 22, when installing the water pump 22, the water pump 22 can be first fixed to one of the first bracket 213 or the second bracket 214, and then the other of the two can be buckled to complete the assembly of the positioning bracket 21, which simplifies the assembly process of the water delivery unit 2 and improves the assembly efficiency of the water delivery unit 2; and the vibration damping member 26 is set in the second positioning cavity, which can absorb and reduce the vibration generated by the water pump 22 when working, reduce the amplitude of the vibration transmitted by the water pump 22 to other components of the water dispenser through the positioning bracket 21, thereby reducing the vibration of the body 1 of the water dispenser, which helps to optimize the user's experience. At the same time, the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 cooperate to enclose the second positioning cavity for installing the water pump 22, and the water pump 22 is placed in the second positioning cavity, so that the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 can be used as a soundproof cover to reduce the transmission of noise during the operation of the water pump 22, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0063] The present embodiment does not limit the structural form of the vibration damping member 26. In a preferred embodiment, a rubber ring can be used as the vibration damping member 26. The rubber ring is sleeved on the water pump 22. Through the elastic deformation ability of the rubber ring itself, the vibration kinetic energy transmitted by the water pump 22 is converted into the elastic potential energy required for the deformation of the rubber ring, thereby reducing and absorbing the vibration.

[0064] As a preferred embodiment of the implementation method, Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, the inner wall of the second positioning cavity is provided with a plurality of clips 3 at intervals along the axial direction of the second positioning cavity, and the clips 3 abut against the vibration damper 26 along the circumferential direction of the vibration damper 26. The plurality of clips 3 abutting against the vibration damper 26 are provided in the second positioning cavity, which can support the vibration damper 26. When the vibration damper 26 absorbs the vibration generated by the operation of the water pump 22, it is inevitable that part of the deformation or displacement will occur, and the clips 3 can support the vibration damper 26 to prevent the vibration damper 26 from being displaced, thereby providing guarantee for the installation stability and stable vibration damping effect of the vibration damper 26. At the same time, the arrangement of the clips 3 can reduce the contact area between the first bracket 213 and the vibration damper 26, and between the second bracket 214 and the vibration damper 26, thereby reducing the obstacle of the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 to the deformation of the vibration damper 26 after vibration, improving the vibration absorption performance of the vibration damper 26, and thus improving the vibration damping effect.

[0065] As a preferred implementation of the present application, Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the positioning bracket 21 includes a first bracket 213 and a second bracket 214, and the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 cooperate to form a second positioning cavity for installing the water pump 22, and the water pump 22 is placed in the second positioning cavity; one of the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 is provided with a tongue 27, and the other is provided with a slot 28 adapted to the tongue 27, and the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 are engaged with each other through the tongue 27 and the slot 28. The positioning bracket 21 is configured to include a first bracket 213 and a second bracket 214, and the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 are connected by the snap-fitting of the latch 27 and the slot 28, which reduces the difficulty of installing the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214. During assembly, the latch 27 only needs to be snapped into the slot 28 to lock the relative positions of the two, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214; and reduces the difficulty of disassembling the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214. When the user can easily remove the latch 27 from the slot 28, and then take the water pump 22 out of the second positioning cavity to inspect, replace, and clean the water pump 22, the user's experience is improved.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment of the implementation method, Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the first bracket 213 is provided with a first positioning hole, the second bracket 214 is provided with a second positioning hole 2141, and the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 are connected by fasteners penetrating the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole 2141. By providing the first positioning hole, the second positioning hole 2141 and the fasteners, the tightness of the connection between the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 is improved, and the possibility of the first bracket 213 and the second bracket 214 being misaligned due to the vibration of the water pump 22 or the transportation and collision of the water dispenser is reduced, thereby providing a guarantee for the installation stability of the water pump 22.
