DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] 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.

[0037] The utility model provides a water dispenser 100, which can avoid the temperature difference between normal temperature water and the exhaust gas of a water treatment component, ensure the temperature of normal temperature water is stable, and improve the user experience.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 7 According to the water dispenser 100 in the embodiment of the utility model, the water dispenser 100 may include a normal temperature water tank 10 and a first water treatment component 20 .

[0039] Among them, the normal temperature water tank 10 has a water storage chamber 14 and a first buffer chamber 15. The water storage chamber 14 is used to store normal temperature water, and the first buffer chamber 15 can be used to buffer the fluid discharged from the first water treatment component 20; the first water treatment component 20 has a first water interface 21 and a first ventilation interface 22, the first water interface 21 is connected to the water storage chamber 14, and the first ventilation interface 22 is connected to the first buffer chamber 15; therefore, according to the water dispenser 100 in the embodiment of the utility model, the temperature of the normal temperature water and the exhaust gas of the water treatment component can be avoided, the temperature of the normal temperature water is guaranteed to be stable, and the user experience is improved.

[0040] Specifically, in order to balance the air pressure in the first water treatment component 20 and prevent the external environment from polluting the interior of the water dispenser 100, the gas in the first water treatment component 20 can be discharged into the normal temperature water tank 10; it can be understood that when the first water treatment component 20 is first filled with water, the water flow in the normal temperature water tank 10 can supply water to the first water treatment component 20 from the first water interface 21. During this process, the gas in the first water treatment component 20 can be discharged to the normal temperature water tank 10 to facilitate the first water treatment component 20 to fill with water.

[0041] Furthermore, the first water treatment component 20 may be a hot tank component, and the high-temperature gas generated in the hot tank component may be discharged to the first buffer chamber 15 of the normal temperature water tank 10, so as to avoid directly discharging the high-temperature gas into the water storage chamber 14 and affecting the temperature stability of the normal temperature water; of course, the first water treatment component 20 may also be a cold tank component, and the low-temperature gas generated in the cold tank component may be discharged to the first buffer chamber 15 of the normal temperature water tank 10, so as to avoid directly discharging the low-temperature gas into the water storage chamber 14 and affecting the temperature stability of the normal temperature water.

[0042] In addition, the first buffer chamber 15 can be connected to the water storage chamber 14, and the high-temperature gas generated by the hot tank assembly can be discharged to the water storage chamber 14 after cooling in the first buffer chamber 15, or the high-temperature gas can be condensed into liquid in the first buffer chamber 15 and then discharged to the water storage chamber 14, so as to avoid the fluid being directly discharged into the water storage chamber 14 and causing the temperature of the normal-temperature water in the water storage chamber 14 to change dramatically; of course, the first buffer chamber 15 can also be connected to the outside world, so that the high-temperature gas generated by the hot tank assembly can be discharged to the outside world after passing through the first buffer chamber 15, so as to avoid burning the user and reduce the risk of external pollutants directly entering the hot tank assembly. Similarly, the low-temperature gas generated by the cold tank assembly can be discharged to the water storage chamber 14 after passing through the first buffer chamber 15, and can also be discharged to the outside world after passing through the first buffer chamber 15, so as to avoid the temperature of the normal-temperature water to change dramatically.

[0043] For ease of understanding, unless otherwise specified, the first water treatment component 20 is described below as a hot tank component.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the utility model, the normal temperature water tank 10 may include a tank body 11 and a first partition 12, the first partition 12 is arranged in the tank body 11, and separates a water storage chamber 14 and a first buffer chamber 15 in the tank body 11; specifically, one side of the first partition 12 and the inner circumference of the tank body 11 are surrounded to form the first buffer chamber 15, and the other side of the first partition 12 and the inner circumference of the tank body 11 are surrounded to form the water storage chamber 14; in other words, the tank body 11 is separated into the first buffer chamber 15 and the water storage chamber 14 by the first partition 12, so that the integration of the normal temperature water tank 10 can be improved, and the water storage and buffering functions of the normal temperature water tank 10 can be realized.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments of the utility model, the first partition 12 extends in the up-down direction, and the lower end of the first partition 12 is connected to the bottom wall of the tank body 11, which is used to separate the bottom of the water storage chamber 14 from the bottom of the first buffer chamber 15, and the fluid in the first buffer chamber 15 can be discharged to the water storage chamber 14 through the top and / or side of the first partition 12 to avoid the fluid being directly discharged into the water storage chamber 14, causing a drastic change in the temperature of the normal temperature water.

[0046] More specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, there is a gap between the upper end of the first partition 12 and the inner top surface of the tank body 11; in other words, the bottom of the first buffer chamber 15 is separated from the bottom of the water storage chamber 14, and the top of the first buffer chamber 15 is connected to the top of the water storage chamber 14, so that the fluid in the first buffer chamber 15 can overflow into the water storage chamber 14; wherein, when there is high-temperature gas in the first buffer chamber 15, the high-temperature gas can be discharged to the water storage chamber 14 after cooling in the first buffer chamber 15, so as to avoid causing a drastic change in the temperature of the warm water in the water storage chamber 14; when there is liquid after the high-temperature gas is cooled in the first buffer chamber 15, the liquid can slowly overflow from the upper end of the first partition 12 to the water storage chamber 14, so as to avoid causing a drastic change in the temperature of the warm water in the water storage chamber 14; in short, the fluid in the first buffer chamber 15 can be slowly discharged to the water storage chamber 14, so as to improve the stability of the temperature of the warm water in the water storage chamber 14.

[0047] In addition, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the upper end of the first partition 12 is lower than the upper edge of the tank body 11; in this way, the top of the first buffer chamber 15 can be connected to the top of the water storage chamber 14, so that the fluid in the first buffer chamber 15 can slowly overflow into the water storage chamber 14, thereby improving the stability of the warm water temperature in the water storage chamber 14.

[0048] Of course, according to actual conditions, a one-way structure may be provided at the connecting portion between the first buffer chamber 15 and the water storage chamber 14, so that the fluid in the first buffer chamber 15 is discharged to the water storage chamber 14, and the normal temperature water in the water storage chamber 14 is prevented from flowing to the first buffer chamber 15; for example, a breathable membrane may be provided, so that the gas is discharged from the first buffer chamber 15 to the water storage chamber 14, and the water is prevented from flowing from the water storage chamber 14 to the first buffer chamber 15. Alternatively, the first buffer chamber 15 may be provided higher than the water storage chamber 14, so as to prevent the normal temperature water from flowing to the first buffer chamber 15 and causing temperature crossover.

[0049] According to the above, for example, refer to Figure 1In some embodiments of the utility model, the bottom wall of the tank body 11 may include a first part 111 and a second part 112, the first part 111 is lower than the second part 112, and a step structure is constructed between the first part 111 and the second part 112, and the first partition 12 is connected to the second part 112; it can be understood that there is a height difference between the first buffer chamber 15 and the water storage chamber 14, and the first buffer chamber 15 is higher than the water storage chamber 14, so that under the action of gravity, the room temperature water in the water storage chamber 14 cannot easily flow to the first buffer chamber 15, and the fluid in the first buffer chamber 15 can flow to the water storage chamber 14 after buffering cooling, so that the room temperature water in the water storage chamber 14 is maintained within a predetermined range, avoiding temperature cross-talk and affecting the user's experience.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first partition 12 is provided with a reflux port connecting the water storage chamber 14 and the first buffer chamber 15; in this way, water accumulation in the first buffer chamber 15 and generation of bacteria can be avoided, thereby ensuring drinking hygiene of the water dispenser 100.

[0051] In combination with the above, when the hot tank assembly discharges water vapor to the first buffer chamber 15, part of the water vapor can be condensed into liquid, and the liquid in the first buffer chamber 15 gradually increases and overflows from the upper end of the first partition 12 to the water storage chamber 14; however, when the hot tank assembly is not vented, the accumulated water in the first buffer chamber 15 does not flow, and as time goes by, bacteria will breed in the first buffer chamber 15, affecting the health of the user. Therefore, a reflux port connecting the water storage chamber 14 and the first buffer chamber 15 may be provided in the first partition 12, so that the accumulated water in the first buffer chamber 15 can slowly flow to the water storage chamber 14, thereby preventing the accumulated water in the first buffer chamber 15 from breeding bacteria.

[0052] In addition, in some other embodiments of the present invention, there is a gap between the first partition portion 12 and the peripheral wall of the tank body portion 11 to construct a reflux port connecting the water storage chamber 14 and the first buffer chamber 15; in this way, the accumulated water in the first buffer chamber 15 can slowly flow to the water storage chamber 14, thereby preventing bacteria from growing in the first buffer chamber 15 due to the accumulated water.

[0053] In some embodiments of the utility model, the width dimension D of the reflux port along the circumference of the tank body 11 is not less than 0.5 mm and not more than 1.5 mm; such a configuration allows the accumulated water in the first buffer chamber 15 to flow slowly to the water storage chamber 14, so as to ensure the buffering effect of the first buffer chamber 15 while preventing bacteria from growing in the first buffer chamber 15 due to the accumulated water. The width dimension D can be 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, etc.

[0054] Reference Figure 1In some embodiments of the utility model, the first buffer chamber 15 has a first inlet 151, and the first inlet 151 is higher than the inner bottom surface of the first buffer chamber 15; wherein, when the hot tank assembly is exhausted, the airflow can enter the first buffer chamber 15 after passing through the first ventilation interface 22 and the first inlet 151 from the hot tank assembly in sequence; in combination with the aforementioned embodiments, the hot tank assembly is exhausted to the first buffer chamber 15 through the first ventilation interface 22, and part of the high-temperature steam is condensed into liquid in the first buffer chamber 15. In order to avoid the backflow of liquid blocking the first ventilation interface 22 and affecting the exhaust of the hot tank assembly, the first inlet 151 can be made higher than the inner bottom surface of the first buffer chamber to improve the exhaust stability of the hot tank assembly.

[0055] In some embodiments of the utility model, a damping plug is provided in the passage between the first vent interface 22 and the first buffer chamber 15; specifically, when the hot tank assembly exhausts air to the first buffer chamber 15, the high-temperature steam has a greater impact and flows faster, which can easily affect the temperature of the normal-temperature water. Therefore, a damping plug may be provided between the first vent interface 22 and the first inlet 151. The damping plug has a tiny channel. When water vapor passes through the tiny channel, the damping plug consumes the energy of the water vapor, thereby reducing the flow rate and temperature of the gas; in addition, the discharge of the hot tank assembly through the damping plug will also consume energy, thereby reducing the flow rate and temperature of the liquid, thereby avoiding causing drastic changes in the normal-temperature water temperature; and the damping plug may have a check effect, that is, allowing the fluid to pass in one direction to prevent the fluid in the first buffer chamber 15 from flowing back into the hot tank assembly.

[0056] In combination with the above-mentioned embodiment, the first water treatment component 20 may be a hot tank component.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the top of the first buffer chamber 15 is higher than the water level in the water storage chamber 14, and has a first distance L1 from the water level in the water storage chamber 14, wherein L1 is not less than 10 mm; this arrangement can prevent the normal temperature water in the water storage chamber 14 from flowing into the first buffer chamber 15, causing a drastic temperature change of the normal temperature water, and avoid affecting the fluid discharge of the first water treatment component 20.

[0058] Optionally, a water level gauge, a float switch, etc. may be provided in the water storage chamber 14. When it is detected that the liquid level in the water storage chamber 14 reaches a predetermined value, the water source is stopped from entering the water storage chamber 14. In this way, after the water dispenser 100 is installed stably, the liquid level of the normal temperature water in the water storage chamber 14 is lower than the top of the first partition 12, thereby avoiding the circulation of the normal temperature water in the water storage chamber 14 and the first buffer chamber 15 to cause temperature cross-contamination; and avoiding clogging of the first ventilation interface 22 of the first water treatment component 20.

[0059] Optionally, the top of the tank body 11 is open and can be used to install a smart seat. The smart seat has a water inlet and an air inlet. A water bucket can be placed on the smart seat. The water inlet can connect the water storage chamber 14 with the water bucket, and the water flow of the water bucket can supply water to the water storage chamber 14 from the water inlet, while the air inlet can connect the water bucket with the outside atmosphere to balance the air pressure in the water bucket; after the water level in the water storage chamber 14 reaches a predetermined water level, the water flow in the water storage chamber 14 can close the air inlet to separate the water bucket from the outside atmosphere and prevent the water tank from continuing to supply water to the water storage chamber 14. In this way, the water level in the water storage chamber 14 can be maintained at a predetermined value and be lower than the top of the first buffer chamber 15, so as to avoid the water flow in the water storage chamber 14 and the first buffer chamber 15 from circulating and causing temperature cross-talk; and to avoid blocking the first ventilation interface 22 of the first water treatment component 20.

[0060] The first distance L1 between the top of the first buffer chamber 15 and the water level of the water storage chamber 14 may be 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, etc.

[0061] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the normal temperature water tank 10 also has a second buffer chamber 16; the water dispenser 100 also includes a second water treatment component 30, the second water treatment component 30 has a second water interface 31 and a second ventilation interface 32, the second water interface 31 is connected to the water storage chamber 14, and the second ventilation interface 32 is connected to the second buffer chamber 16; this arrangement can balance the air pressure in the second water treatment component 30 and prevent the external environment from polluting the inside of the water dispenser 100.

[0062] Specifically, in order to balance the air pressure in the second water treatment component 30 and prevent the external environment from polluting the interior of the water dispenser 100, the gas in the second water treatment component 30 can be discharged into the normal temperature water pipe; it can be understood that when the second water treatment component 30 is first filled with water, the water flow in the normal temperature water tank 10 can supply water to the second water treatment component 30 from the second water interface 31; during this process, the airflow in the second water treatment component 30 can be discharged to the normal temperature water tank 10 to facilitate the second water treatment component 30 to fill with water.

[0063] Furthermore, the second water treatment component 30 can be a cold tank component, and the low-temperature gas generated in the cold tank component can be discharged to the second buffer chamber 16 of the normal temperature water tank 10, so as to avoid the low-temperature gas being directly discharged into the water storage chamber 14 and affecting the temperature stability of the normal temperature water; of course, the second water treatment component 30 can also be a hot tank component, and the high-temperature gas generated in the hot tank component can be discharged to the second buffer chamber 16 of the normal temperature water tank 10, so as to avoid the high-temperature gas being directly discharged into the water storage chamber 14 and affecting the temperature stability of the normal temperature water.

[0064] In addition, the second buffer chamber 16 can be connected to the water storage chamber 14, and the low-temperature gas generated by the cold tank assembly is heated in the second buffer chamber 16 and then discharged to the water storage chamber 14, so as to avoid the fluid being directly discharged into the water storage chamber 14 and causing the temperature of the normal temperature water in the water storage chamber 14 to change dramatically; of course, the second buffer chamber 16 can also be connected to the outside world, so that the low-temperature gas generated by the cold tank assembly can be discharged to the outside world after passing through the second buffer chamber 16, so as to avoid freezing to the user and reduce the risk of external pollutants directly entering the cold tank assembly. Similarly, the high-temperature gas generated by the hot tank assembly can be discharged to the water storage chamber 14 after passing through the second buffer chamber 16, and can also be discharged to the outside world after passing through the second buffer chamber 16, so as to avoid the temperature of the normal temperature water to change dramatically.

[0065] For ease of understanding, unless otherwise specified, the second water treatment component 30 is described below as a cold tank component.

[0067] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the second partition 13 extends in the up-down direction, and the lower end of the second partition 13 is connected to the bottom wall of the tank body 11, which is used to separate the bottom of the water storage chamber 14 from the bottom of the second buffer chamber 16, and the fluid in the second buffer chamber 16 can be discharged to the water storage chamber 14 through the top and / or side of the second partition 13 to avoid the fluid being directly discharged to the water storage chamber 14, causing a drastic change in the temperature of the normal temperature water.

[0068] More specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments of the utility model, there is a gap between the upper end of the second partition 13 and the inner top surface of the tank body 11; in other words, the bottom of the second buffer chamber 16 is separated from the bottom of the water storage chamber 14, and the top of the second buffer chamber 16 is connected to the top of the water storage chamber 14, which makes it easy for the fluid in the second buffer chamber 16 to be discharged into the water storage chamber 14; wherein, the fluid discharged into the second buffer chamber 16 can first gather at the bottom of the second buffer chamber 16, and then can be slowly discharged from the top of the second buffer chamber 16 to the water storage chamber 14, so as to avoid affecting the temperature of the normal temperature water.

[0069] In addition, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the upper end of the second partition 13 is lower than the upper edge of the tank body 11; in this way, the top of the second buffer chamber 16 can be connected to the top of the water storage chamber 14, so that the fluid in the second buffer chamber 16 can slowly overflow into the water storage chamber 14, thereby improving the stability of the warm water temperature in the water storage chamber 14.

[0070] In combination with the above-mentioned embodiment, the second water treatment component 30 may be a cold tank component.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the top of the second partition 13 is higher than the water level in the water storage chamber 14, and has a second distance L2 from the water level in the water storage chamber 14, wherein L2 is not less than 10 mm; this arrangement can prevent the normal temperature water in the water storage chamber 14 from flowing into the second buffer chamber 16, causing the temperature of the normal temperature water to change dramatically, and avoid affecting the fluid discharge of the second water treatment component 30.
