[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of household electrical appliances, and in particular relates to an instant hot water dispenser capable of automatically storing a hose. Background Art

[0002] Instant hot water dispensers, also called "quick-heating" water dispensers, are designed to meet the drinking water needs of different groups of people. They use a unique fast electric heating system, which heats water instantly and produces a fixed amount of hot water. Existing instant hot water dispensers generally require a separate external hose to connect to bottled water or large bottles of mineral water. Such hoses are easy to lose, easily contaminated and dirty, and are not convenient to store as a whole. Utility Model Content

[0003] (I) Purpose of the utility model

[0004] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an instant hot water dispenser with an automatic storage hose, so as to solve the technical problems that the hose of the existing hot water dispenser is easily lost, contaminated and inconvenient to store as a whole due to long-term exposure.

[0005] (II) Technical solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions provided by this application are as follows:

[0007] An instant hot water dispenser for automatically storing a hose comprises: a shell of a hollow structure, a water outlet is provided at the upper end of the shell, a heating component is arranged in the shell, a water pump is arranged in the shell and communicated with the heating component, a pulley component is rotatably arranged in the shell, a locking structure is openably arranged on the side wall of the shell and extends into the shell, and a hose is movably arranged in the shell, wherein a first end of the hose is connected with the water pump around the pulley assembly, a second end passes through the locking structure and extends out of the shell to a predetermined length and is clamped by the locking structure, and a weight block hung on the hose can pull the second end of the hose to retract inwardly into the shell after the locking structure releases the second end of the hose;

[0008] The present application sets a counterweight block, a locking structure and a pulley assembly. When it is necessary to connect bottled water or a large bottle of mineral water, the locking structure is pressed to directly pull the second end of the hose out of the shell to a predetermined length. The locking structure is then released to clamp and fix the second end of the hose to ensure the extended length of the second end of the hose. After use, the locking structure is pressed again to separate the locking structure from the hose. Under the action of the gravity of the counterweight block, the second end of the hose will be pulled back into the shell, avoiding the problem of the hose being easily lost, contaminated, and inconvenient to store as a whole due to long-term exposure to the outside.

[0009] In some embodiments, a pulley and a clockwork spring are rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the housing, wherein one end of the clockwork spring is connected to the housing and the other end is connected to the pulley;

[0010] By arranging a clockwork spring on the pulley, when the second end of the hose is pulled out of the shell, the clockwork spring is tightened as the pulley rotates. When the lock structure is released, in addition to the counterweight block providing power to drive the second end of the hose to retract inward into the shell, the clockwork spring can also be used to drive the pulley to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby driving the second end of the hose to retract inward into the shell, thereby increasing the power source.

[0011] In some embodiments, the inner side of the pulley is provided with first friction stripes for rubbing against the hose;

[0012] By arranging the first friction stripes on the inner side of the pulley, the friction between the pulley and the hose can be increased, thereby preventing the pulley and the hose from slipping and causing the pulley to be unable to effectively provide a power source to the hose.

[0013] In some embodiments, the locking structure includes: an unlocking button movably arranged on the side wall of the shell and with one end extending into the shell, an elastic member having one end abutting against the unlocking button and the other end abutting against the outer wall of the shell, and a clamping block connected to the other ends of the two unlocking buttons, which can be driven by the elastic member to approach the inner wall of the shell and cooperate with the inner wall to move the second end of the clamping hose.

[0014] In some embodiments, a second friction stripe is provided on one side of the clamping block corresponding to the second end of the hose;

[0015] By arranging the second friction stripes on the inner side of the pulley, the friction between the pulley and the hose can be increased, thereby preventing the pulley and the hose from sliding and affecting the stability of the locking structure in clamping the hose.

It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the utility model.

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model provides an instant hot water dispenser for automatically storing a hose 2, comprising: a shell 1 with a hollow structure, a water outlet 101 being provided at the upper end of the shell 1, a heating component arranged in the shell 1, a water pump 8 arranged in the shell 1 and connected with the heating component, a pulley assembly 3 rotatably arranged in the shell 1, a locking structure 5 which is openably arranged on the side wall of the shell 1 and extends into the shell 1, and a hose 2 which is movably arranged in the shell 1, wherein a first end of the hose 2 is connected with the water pump 8 around the pulley assembly 3, a second end passes through the locking structure 5 and extends out of the shell 1 by a predetermined length and is clamped by the locking structure 5, and a counterweight 4 hung on the hose 2 can pull the second end of the hose 2 inwardly to retract into the shell 1 after the locking structure 5 releases the second end of the hose 2.

[0025] Specifically, the housing 1 includes an upper cover and a bottom cover 102 connected to the upper cover, and a first through hole for the hose 2 to pass through is formed on the bottom plate.

[0026] Specifically, the first end of the hose 2 is connected to an adapter port of the hose connector 6, the adapter tube 7 is connected to the other adapter port of the hose connector 6, the adapter tube 7 is also connected to the water pump 8, the water pump 8 is connected to the heating component, and the heating component is connected to the water outlet 101 of the outer shell 1. When the water dispenser is started, the water pump 8 is started, and the external water is drawn in through the hose 2 and then transported to the heating component for heating, and finally output from the water outlet 101 of the outer shell 1.

[0027] Specifically, there are two pulley assemblies 3 and they are arranged up and down. The counterweight block 4 is hung on the hose 2 through a hook, so that the hose 2 as a whole presents an "S" shape layout. The counterweight block 4 is hung at the first bending point, and one of the pulley assemblies 3 is set at the second bending point. The "S" shape layout plays a role in automatically straightening the hose 2 to prevent interference when the hose 2 is recovered due to the small internal space.

[0028] See also Figure 4 Preferably, the pulley assembly 3 includes: a pulley 302 and a clockwork spring 301. Specifically, a mounting seat 103 is provided on the inner side wall of the shell 1, and the pulley 302 is rotatably provided on the mounting seat 103 through a rotating shaft. Furthermore, one end of the clockwork spring 301 is connected to the mounting seat 103, and the other end is connected to the pulley 302. When the second end of the hose 2 is pulled out of the shell 1, the pulley 302 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the pulley 302 tightens the clockwork spring 301 to generate an elastic force. When the locking structure 5 releases the second end of the hose 2, the clockwork spring 301 applies a reverse rotational force to the pulley 302 under the action of the elastic force, which can drive the second end of the hose 2 to be retracted.

[0029] Preferably, in the present application, a first friction stripe 3031 for rubbing against the hose 2 is provided on the inner side surface of the pulley 302 , so as to increase the friction force between the pulley 302 and the hose 2 .

[0030] See also Figure 5 Specifically, the lock structure 5 includes: an unlocking button 501, an elastic member 503 and a clamping block 502, the elastic member 503 is a spring, a second through hole is opened on the side wall of the shell 1, one end of the unlocking button 501 is located on the outside of the side wall, and the other end passes through the through hole and extends into the inside of the shell 1, the clamping block 502 is connected to the other end of the unlocking button 501, and a limited space is formed between the clamping block 502 and the other end of the unlocking button 501, and the second end of the hose 2 passes through the limited space and out of the shell 1.

[0031] Specifically, under normal conditions, the elastic member 503 is in an extended and expanded state, the clamping block 502 is close to the inner wall of the shell 1, and cooperates with the inner wall of the shell 1 to clamp the second end of the hose 2, so that the second end of the hose 2 maintains a length extending out of the shell 1. When storage is required, the unlocking button 501 is pressed, the elastic member 503 is compressed, and the clamping block 502 moves away from the inner wall of the shell 1 to release the second end of the hose 2. The hose 2 has no resistance and is retracted into the shell 1 driven by the counterweight 4 and the pulley 302 spring 301.

[0032] Preferably, in the present application, a second friction stripe is provided on a side of the clamping block 502 corresponding to the hose 2 .

[0033] Preferably, a similar clamping block 502 may be fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the housing 1 corresponding to the side of the clamping block 502 and a second friction stripe may be arranged thereon, so that the hose 2 is clamped by the two clamping blocks 502 .

[0034] It should be noted that the hose 2 used in the present application needs to have a certain hardness and the elastic force of the elastic member 503 needs to be adjusted to ensure that the movement of the clamping block 502 toward the inner wall of the shell 1 does not exceed the radius of the closure of the hose 2. Increasing the friction force of the two clamping blocks 502 can frictionally fix the hose 2.

[0035] Specifically, when it is necessary to connect bottled water or a large bottle of mineral water, press and hold the unlock button 501 to unlock and disengage the unlock button 501 from the hose 2, and directly pull the second end of the hose 2 out of the shell 1 to a predetermined length. At this time, the height of the counterweight block 4 is increased, and the clockwork spring 301 of the pulley 302 is tightened, and then the lock structure 5 is released. Driven by the elastic member 503, the clamping block 502 clamps the second end of the hose 2 close to the inner wall of the shell 1 to ensure the extended length of the second end of the hose 2. When storing, press the unlock button 501 again, and the hose 2 has no resistance. The counterweight block 4 drives the second end of the hose 2 to be retracted under the action of its own gravity and the clockwork spring 301.

[0036] It should be understood that the above specific embodiments of the present invention are only used to illustrate or explain the principles of the present invention, and do not constitute a limitation on the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. In addition, the claims attached to the present invention are intended to cover all changes and modifications that fall within the scope and boundaries of the attached claims, or the equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
