After the bottled water of the water dispenser enters the cold tank, the water discharged from the upper area of ​​the cold tank is normal temperature water, and the cold water is discharged from the bottom of the lower area of ​​the cold tank.

[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] Reference below Figure 2-Figure 9 The water system 100 of the water dispenser 1000 according to the first embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the water system 100 of the water dispenser 1000 according to the first embodiment of the utility model includes: a normal temperature water distribution pool 3, a hot tank assembly 4, a cold tank assembly 5 and a water outlet device.

[0034] Specifically, the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 is connected to the water source 1, and the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 is connected to the first water inlet flow path 6, the second water inlet flow path 7 and the third water outlet flow path 10, the two ends of the first water inlet flow path 6 are respectively connected and connected to the hot tank component 4 and the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, the hot tank component 4 is connected to the first water outlet flow path 8, the two ends of the second water inlet flow path 7 are respectively connected and connected to the cold tank component 5 and the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, the cold tank component 5 is connected to the second water outlet flow path 9, the two ends of the first water outlet flow path 8 are respectively connected and connected to the hot tank component 4 and the water outlet device, the two ends of the second water outlet flow path 9 are respectively connected and connected to the cold tank component 5 and the water outlet device, and the two ends of the third water outlet flow path 10 are respectively connected and connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 and the water outlet device. Therefore, the structure of the waterway system 100 is simple, which improves the use experience.

[0035] In the prior art, the normal temperature water outlet of the water dispenser 1000 is generally adopted in the industry to discharge normal temperature water from the upper part of the cold tank. The upper and lower areas are separated by a plastic diverter plate inside the cold tank. The upper and lower areas are connected. After the bottled water of the water dispenser 1000 enters the cold tank, the water discharged from the upper area of ​​the cold tank is normal temperature water, and the cold water is discharged from the bottom of the lower area of ​​the cold tank. Such a traditional design will cause the first few cups of normal temperature water to be cold when normal temperature water is not taken for a long time (more than 1 hour). Because normal temperature water is not taken for a long time, the cold tank will cool all the water inside to the same set low temperature. In addition, the normal temperature water storage area in the industry is small in volume, and taking normal temperature water for a long time will cause obvious flow attenuation and interruption problems. The water in the hot tank also enters the hot tank through the normal temperature water area on the upper part of the cold tank after passing through the central pipe of the diverter plate inside the cold tank. The water in the hot tank will also be cold, which reduces the heating efficiency and increases energy consumption.

[0036] According to the water system 100 of the water dispenser 1000 of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 independently from the cold tank component 5 and the hot tank component 4, it is ensured that the normal temperature water temperature is neither too cold nor too hot, and is always kept consistent with the ambient temperature, and the long-term water flow rate of the normal temperature water is ensured to be stable, thereby avoiding the flow attenuation and interruption of the normal temperature water when taking the normal temperature water for a long time.

[0037] Furthermore, when the water dispenser 1000 is working, the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 is connected with the water source 1, and drinking water flows into the normal temperature water distribution pool 3. Part of the drinking water flows to the hot tank assembly 4 through the first water inlet flow path 6, and part of the drinking water flows to the cold tank assembly 5 through the second water inlet flow path 7. Part of the drinking water is stored in the normal temperature water distribution pool 3. When the user needs hot water, the hot water in the hot tank assembly 4 flows out of the water dispenser 1000 through the first water outlet flow path 8 and the water outlet device. When the user needs cold water, the cold water in the cold tank assembly 5 flows out of the water dispenser 1000 through the second water outlet flow path 9 and the water outlet device. When the user needs normal temperature water, the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 flows out of the water dispenser 1000 through the third water outlet flow path 10 and the water outlet device.

[0038] It should be noted that the above examples are merely examples of the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water separation pool 3, the hot water in the hot tank assembly 4, and the cold water in the cold tank assembly 5, and are not intended to limit the present application. That is, the liquid in the normal temperature water separation pool 3 in one state is transported through the first water inlet flow path 6 and the second water inlet flow path 7 to two containers with different liquid treatment and heating, so that the liquid in the normal temperature water separation pool 3 can produce other states. Therefore, it can be understood that when the water system 100 does not have the hot tank assembly 4 and the cold tank assembly 5, the water in the normal temperature water separation pool 3 can also flow out through the third water outlet flow path 10 and the water outlet device. The water in the normal temperature water separation pool 3 only changes the state of the water by entering other water treatment devices through the water inlet flow path. For example, the water temperature can be changed, or the water form can be changed. The change in form can be changed from a liquid state to a gas state. The present application does not limit this, and it will not be repeated in the following examples.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, a first water inlet 61 is formed at the first end of the first water inlet flow path 6 and a first water outlet 62 is formed at the second end, the first water inlet 61 is used to connect to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, and the first water outlet 62 is used to connect to the hot tank assembly 4; a second water inlet 71 is formed at the first end of the second water inlet flow path 7 and a second water outlet 72 is formed at the second end, the second water inlet 71 is used to connect to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, and the second water outlet 72 is used to connect to the cold tank assembly 5. It can be understood that the first end of the first water inlet flow path 6 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, the second end of the first water inlet flow path 6 is connected to the hot tank assembly 4, the first water inlet flow path 6 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 through the first water inlet 61, and the first water inlet flow path 6 is connected to the hot tank assembly 4 through the first water outlet 62; the first end of the second water inlet flow path 7 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, the second end of the second water inlet flow path 7 is connected to the cold tank assembly 5, the second water inlet flow path 7 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 through the second water inlet 71, and the second water inlet flow path 7 is connected to the cold tank assembly 5 through the second water outlet 72. Therefore, by setting up two independent water inlet flow paths, it is realized that starting from the same source (normal temperature water distribution pool 3), water is provided to two different processing links of heating (hot tank assembly 4) and cooling (cold tank assembly 5) according to needs, thereby ensuring the flexibility and efficiency of the water system 100 in temperature control.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the first end of the first water outlet flow path 8 is formed with a first inlet 81 and the second end is formed with a first outlet 82, the first inlet 81 is used to connect the hot tank assembly 4, and the first outlet 82 is used to connect the water outlet device; the first end of the second water outlet flow path 9 is formed with a second inlet 91 and the second end is formed with a second outlet 92, the second inlet 91 is used to connect the cold tank assembly 5, and the second outlet 92 is used to connect the water outlet device. It can be understood that the first end of the first water outlet flow path 8 is connected to the hot tank assembly 4, the second end of the first water outlet flow path 8 is connected to the water outlet device, the first water outlet flow path 8 is connected to the hot tank assembly 4 through the first inlet 81, and the first water outlet flow path 8 is connected to the water outlet device through the first outlet 82; the first end of the second water outlet flow path 9 is connected to the cold tank assembly 5, the second end of the second water outlet flow path 9 is connected to the water outlet device, the second water outlet flow path 9 is connected to the cold tank assembly 5 through the first inlet 81, and the second water outlet flow path 9 is connected to the water outlet device through the first outlet 82. Therefore, whether it is heated water or cooled water, they will be gathered into the same water outlet device through their respective water outlet flow paths, and may be mixed and adjusted to the required temperature, or used separately according to needs, reflecting the efficiency and flexibility of the water system 100 in water temperature management and distribution.

[0041] Specifically, in combination with the foregoing, the water system 100 of the water dispenser 1000 of this example includes at least three water channels, and the three water channels output normal temperature water, hot water and cold water respectively. The first end of the first water inlet flow path 6 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, the second end of the first water inlet flow path 6 is connected to the hot tank assembly 4, the first water inlet flow path 6 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 through the first water inlet port 61, the first water inlet flow path 6 is connected to the hot tank assembly 4 through the first water outlet port 62, the first end of the first water outlet flow path 8 is connected to the hot tank assembly 4, the second end of the first water outlet flow path 8 is connected to the water outlet device, the first water outlet flow path 8 is connected to the hot tank assembly 4 through the first inlet port 81, and the first water outlet flow path 8 is connected to the water outlet device through the first outlet port 82; the first end of the second water inlet flow path 7 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 Then, the second end of the second water inlet flow path 7 is connected to the cold tank assembly 5, the second water inlet flow path 7 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 through the second water inlet 71, the second water inlet flow path 7 is connected to the cold tank assembly 5 through the second water outlet 72, the first end of the second water outlet flow path 9 is connected to the cold tank assembly 5, the second end of the second water outlet flow path 9 is connected to the water outlet device, the second water outlet flow path 9 is connected to the cold tank assembly 5 through the first inlet 81, and the second water outlet flow path 9 is connected to the water outlet device through the first outlet 82; the first end of the third water outlet flow path 10 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, the second end of the third water outlet flow path 10 is connected to the water outlet device, the third water outlet flow path 10 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 through the third inlet 101, and the third water outlet flow path 10 is connected to the water outlet device through the third outlet 102.

[0042] In short, the normal temperature water enters the hot tank assembly 4 from the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 through the first water inlet flow path 6 and the cold tank assembly 5 through the second water inlet flow path 7. The normal temperature water is heated by the hot tank assembly 4 and flows out through the first water outlet flow path 8 through the water outlet device, and / or the normal temperature water is cooled by the cold tank assembly 5 and flows out through the second water outlet flow path 9 through the water outlet device, and / or the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 flows out through the third water inlet flow path through the water outlet device.

[0043] It should be noted here that Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the third inlet 101 of the third water outlet flow path 10 and the first water inlet 61 of the first water inlet flow path 6 are actually located at the same through hole.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the hot tank assembly 4 is connected to a first exhaust channel 11, a first air inlet 111 is formed at a first end of the first exhaust channel 11, and a first air outlet 112 is formed at a second end, the first air inlet 111 is used to connect to the hot tank assembly 4, and the first air outlet is used to communicate with the atmosphere to balance the air pressure in the hot tank assembly 4; the cold tank assembly 5 is connected to a second exhaust channel 12, a second air inlet 121 is formed at a first end of the second exhaust channel 12, and a second air outlet 122 is formed at a second end, the second air inlet 121 is used to connect to the cold tank assembly 5, and the second air outlet is used to communicate with the atmosphere to balance the air pressure in the cold tank assembly 5. That is, in order to ensure the stability of the pressure inside the hot tank assembly 4 and the cold tank assembly 5, the first exhaust channel 11 and the second exhaust channel 12 are provided, the first end of the first exhaust channel 11 is connected to the hot tank assembly 4, the second end of the first exhaust channel 11 is communicated with the atmosphere, the first exhaust channel 11 is communicated with the hot tank assembly 4 through the first air inlet 111, and the exhaust channel is reasonably provided to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the entire waterway system 100.

[0045] Specifically, the first air inlet 111 is used to collect water vapor and other gases generated by the increase of water temperature in the hot tank, and flow to the first air outlet 112 through the first exhaust channel 11, and the gas is discharged to the atmosphere from the first air outlet 112, thereby reducing the pressure in the hot tank assembly 4 and preventing excessive pressure from affecting safety and system performance; the second air inlet 121 is used to collect gases generated by temperature changes or liquid volume changes, and flow to the second air outlet 122 through the second exhaust channel 12, and the gas is discharged to the atmosphere from the second air outlet 122, thereby adjusting the pressure in the cold tank assembly 5, avoiding negative pressure or excessive air pressure in the cold tank assembly 5, and ensuring the normal operation of the cold tank assembly 5.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the normal temperature water separation pool 3 has a first partition 201, the first partition 201 is used to separate a first exhaust area in the normal temperature water separation pool 3, and the second end of the first exhaust channel 11 is connected to the first exhaust area; the normal temperature water separation pool 3 has a second partition 202, the second partition 202 is used to separate a second exhaust area in the normal temperature water separation pool 3, and the second end of the second exhaust channel 12 is connected to the second exhaust area. It can be understood that the gas in the hot tank assembly 4 can flow into the first exhaust area when it flows out from the first exhaust channel 11, and the first exhaust area is separated by the first partition 201, so that the gas discharged from the hot tank assembly 4 can reduce the influence of the water temperature of the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water separation pool 3; the gas in the cold tank assembly 5 can flow into the second exhaust area when it flows out from the second exhaust channel 12, and the second exhaust area is separated by the second partition 202, so that the gas discharged from the cold tank assembly 5 can reduce the influence of the water temperature of the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water separation pool 3. In addition, compared with discharging the gas directly to the outside, discharging the gas into the exhaust area of ​​the normal temperature water separation pool 3 can effectively prevent the external environment from polluting the hot tank component 4 and / or the cold tank component 5.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 is connected to the total water inlet flow path 2, the first end of the total water inlet flow path 2 is formed with a total water inlet and the second end is formed with a total water outlet, the total water inlet is used to connect to the water source 1, and the total water outlet is used to connect to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3. As shown in the figure, the first end of the total water inlet flow path 2 is connected to the water source 1, the second end of the total water inlet flow path 2 is connected to the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, and the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 is connected to the total water inlet flow path 2 through the total water outlet. As a result, the efficiency and controllability of the entire waterway system 100 are guaranteed, and the reliability of the waterway system 100 is improved.

[0048] Specifically, in combination with the foregoing, the liquid flows from the water source 1 through the total water inlet flow path 2 into the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 as normal temperature water. When necessary, the normal temperature water enters the hot tank assembly 4 and the cold tank assembly 5 from the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 through the first water inlet flow path 6 and the second water inlet flow path 7 respectively. The normal temperature water is heated by the hot tank assembly 4 and then flows out from the first water outlet flow path 8 through the water outlet device, and / or, the normal temperature water is cooled by the cold tank assembly 5 and then flows out from the second water outlet flow path 9 through the water outlet device, and / or, the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 flows out from the third water inlet flow path through the water outlet device. The first exhaust channel 11 adjusts the pressure in the hot tank assembly 4, and the second exhaust channel 12 adjusts the pressure in the cold tank assembly 5.

[0049] It should be noted here that the water source 1 can be water from a drinking water bucket connected to the main water inlet, or the water source 1 can be water from a faucet connected to the main water inlet.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the hot tank assembly 4 is connected to a first drainage flow path 13, and the first end of the first drainage flow path 13 is connected to the first water inlet flow path 6 to discharge the wastewater in the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 and / or the hot tank assembly 4; the cold tank assembly 5 is connected to a second drainage flow path 14, and the first end of the second drainage flow path 14 is connected to the cold tank assembly 5 to discharge the wastewater in the cold tank assembly 5. In other words, the hot tank assembly 4 and the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 share the first drainage flow path 13, which simplifies the structural composition of the water system 100, maintains the freshness and treatment efficiency of the water quality in the hot tank assembly 4 and the normal temperature water distribution pool 3, and the effective discharge of wastewater is crucial to prevent the accumulation of impurities, control the growth of microorganisms, and maintain the overall sanitation of the system. In addition, a reasonable drainage design can also help adjust the water balance in the water system 100 to ensure that each part can operate efficiently under the design parameters.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water system 100 of the water dispenser 1000 further includes: a water inlet waterway plate 200, such as Figure 8 As shown, the water inlet waterway plate 200 and the normal temperature water separation tank 3 are an integrated component.

[0071] The water source 1 flows through the total water inlet, the total water inlet flow path 2 and the total water outlet in sequence and flows into the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 to form normal temperature water.

[0072] The normal temperature water of the water dispenser 1000, the normal temperature water in the normal temperature water distribution pool 3 flows through the third inlet 101, the third water outlet flow path 10 and the third outlet 102 in sequence, and finally flows to the normal temperature water outlet part of the water outlet device, thereby realizing normal temperature water outlet.
