[0002] A water dispenser is a drinking device that provides bottled water for people to drink and is widely used in homes, offices, classrooms and other places.

[0003] There is usually a sink under the water outlet of the water dispenser to collect waste water, such as water used to rinse cups or water dripping from the outlet. When the sink is full, you need to remove the sink to pour out the water. When removing and moving the sink, the water in it is very easy to spill outside and wet the bottom or clothes. Therefore, the operator has to be very careful every time, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the utility model provides a water receiving assembly for an anti-overflow drinking fountain.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A water receiving assembly for an anti-overflow drinking fountain comprises a water trough and a water leakage plate. The front of the drinking fountain is provided with a concave drinking area, the water trough is located at the lower part of the drinking area, the water leakage plate is located at the top of the water trough, and the water receiving assembly further comprises a water retaining cover, which is hinged at the upper rear part of the water trough and can be covered on the water leakage plate to seal the upper opening of the water trough.

[0008] When in use, place the sink in the drinking area, flip the water retaining cover to the receiving hole, so that the sink is in an unobstructed state for normal use. When the sink is full of water, flip the water retaining cover over the sink to seal the sink. At this time, you can safely remove the sink without worrying about the water inside escaping. Just open the water retaining cover when pouring water.

[0009] In the above solution, the water retaining cover and the top surface of the water tank are preferably of the same shape.

[0010] In order not to affect the placement of the water trough in the drinking water area, a hinge groove is recessed inward at the upper rear position of the left and right side walls of the water trough, and a hinge shaft protrudes to the left and right sides of the hinge groove. Hinge ears hinged to the hinge shaft are provided on the left and right sides of the water retaining cover, and the water retaining cover and the water trough are hinged together through the hinge ear and the hinge shaft.

[0011] In order to make the water trough stably stuck in the drinking area, slide grooves are provided on the left and right side walls of the drinking area. The slide grooves include a horizontal section extending front and back and an arc end extending from the rear end of the horizontal section. The two hinged ears are respectively provided with sliding columns protruding outward, and the sliding columns can slide in the slide grooves.

[0012] When the slide moves in the horizontal section of the chute, the water trough is in the process of being placed in the drinking area until it is completely in the drinking area. Then, the water retaining cover flips upward, and the slide moves in the arc section of the chute. When the water retaining cover is stuck in the receiving hole, the slide position is locked at the end position of the arc section, so that the water trough cannot be locked in the drinking area.

It can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole to fix the water baffle in the accommodating hole, while preventing the water baffle from over-flipping and entering the interior of the water dispenser.

[0016] In order to more conveniently flip the water baffle, a force-applying portion protrudes outward from the bent portion of the fastener, and the force-applying portion can more easily make the fastener withdraw from the fastening hole to facilitate flipping the water baffle.

[0017] As another embodiment of the present application, the fastener is S-shaped, with one end connected to one side of the water retaining cover away from the hinge, and the other end extending toward the direction of the sink. The bent portion protruding away from the sink is inserted into the fastening hole, and the non-connected end of the S-shaped fastener is provided for the user to hold to facilitate flipping the water retaining cover.

[0018] Preferably, the buckle and the water retaining cover are integrally formed.

[0019] The utility model provides an anti-overflow drinking fountain water receiving assembly, which can cover the water trough through a water retaining cover, so that the water trough can be removed without worrying about the water inside escaping. At the same time, a receiving hole adapted to the water retaining cover is provided on the rear side wall of the drinking area of ​​the present application. When the water trough is in normal use, the water retaining plate is placed in the receiving hole, and the water retaining cover is flipped before taking the water trough. The present application is equivalent to directly taking materials from the water dispenser, separating out the water retaining cover, and directly borrowing the materials of the water dispenser itself without increasing the material cost. Moreover, when in normal use, the water retaining cover is located in the receiving hole, which does not affect the beauty of the drinking area and the water dispenser as a whole. When taking the water trough, it can prevent the water in the trough from spilling out, making it convenient for the user to clean the waste water in the trough. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides an anti-overflow drinking machine water receiving assembly (hereinafter referred to as the water receiving assembly), which is applied to the drinking machine. The drawings of this application only capture a part of the drinking machine. The drinking machine includes a drinking machine body, a concave drinking area 1 is provided on the front of the drinking machine body, and a water outlet and a switch control valve (not shown in the figure) are provided above the drinking area 1.

[0030] The water receiving assembly includes a water tank 2 and a water leakage plate 3. The water tank 2 is located at the lower part of the drinking area 1. The water leakage plate 3 is located at the top of the water tank 2, preferably embedded in the water tank 2, and its top surface is flush with the top surface of the water tank 2, and is used to support the water cup and leak waste water (referring to water introduced into the water tank 2 or water dripping from the water outlet) into the water tank 2. In this embodiment, the water tank 2 is a rectangular tank.

[0031] The water receiving assembly also includes a water retaining cover 4, which is hinged to the upper rear portion of the water tank 2 and can cover the leaking plate 3 to seal the upper opening of the water tank 2. Preferably, the water retaining cover 4 has the same shape as the top surface of the water tank 2.

[0032] A snap fastener 41 is provided on one side of the water retaining cover 4 away from the hinge, and the snap fastener 41 is located in the middle of the side where the snap fastener 41 is located. A receiving hole 11 adapted to the water retaining cover 4 is provided on the rear side wall of the drinking area 1, and a snap fastener 12 is provided above the receiving hole 11, and the snap fastener 41 can be turned over and snapped in the snap fastener hole 12 or the front side of the water tank 2.

[0033] When in use, place the water tank 2 in the drinking area 1, flip the water retaining cover 4 so that it is located in the receiving hole 11, and the fastener 41 is stuck in the fastening hole 12 to fix the position of the water retaining cover 4. At this time, the water dispenser is no different from an ordinary water dispenser, and the water tank 2 is in an unblocked state and can be used normally. When the water tank 2 is full of water, flip the water retaining cover 4 forward to cover the water tank 2, and the fastener 41 is stuck on the front side of the water tank 2, so that the water retaining cover 4 can stably seal the water tank 2. At this time, the water tank 2 can be removed without worrying about the water inside escaping. When pouring water, just open the water retaining cover 4.

[0034] The present application uses a water retaining cover 4 to seal the water trough 2 during the removal and transfer process, thereby avoiding the problem of water splashing out. However, the present application does not use the method of adding an additional cover on the water trough 2, but directly borrows the material of the water dispenser itself, and directly cuts out a part from the rear side wall of the drinking area 1 to serve as the water retaining cover 4, without increasing the material cost. Moreover, during normal use, the water retaining cover 4 is located in the accommodating hole 11, so that the water dispenser of the present application is no different from a conventional water dispenser, and does not affect the beauty of the drinking area 1 and the overall appearance of the water dispenser. When taking the water trough 2, the water retaining cover 4 can be used to avoid water splashing out of the water trough 2, so that the user can quickly clean the waste water in the water trough 2.

[0035] In order not to affect the placement of the water trough 2 in the drinking area 1, a hinge groove 21 is recessed inward at the upper rear position of the left and right side walls of the water trough 2, and a hinge shaft 22 protrudes to the left and right sides of the hinge groove 21. The left and right sides of the water retaining cover 4 are provided with hinge ears 42 hinged to the hinge shaft 22. The water retaining cover 4 and the water trough 2 are hinged together by the hinge ear 42 and the hinge shaft 22. At the same time, the space of the drinking area 1 is not occupied, which causes the volume of the water trough 2 to become smaller.

[0036] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to make the water trough 2 stably stuck in the drinking area 1, a slide groove 13 is provided on the left and right side walls of the drinking area 1. The slide groove 13 includes a horizontal section extending front and rear and an arc end extending from the rear end of the horizontal section. The two hinged ears 42 respectively protrude outward with a slide column 43, and the slide column 43 can slide in the slide groove 13.

[0037] When the water trough 2 is placed into the drinking area 1, the slide post 43 slides from the front end opening of the slide slot 13 into the horizontal section of the slide slot 13. When the slide post 43 moves to the rear end of the horizontal section, the water trough 2 is completely in the drinking area 1; then, the water retaining cover 4 is flipped upward, and the slide post 43 moves in the arc section of the slide slot 13. When the water retaining cover 4 is rotated 90 degrees and stuck in the accommodating hole 11, the slide post 43 moves to the end of the arc section. At this time, the slide post 43 and the fastener 41 are respectively located on both sides of the rotating shaft of the water retaining cover 4. If the water trough 2 receives a forward force, the fastener 41 will be pressed on the rear side wall of the drinking area 1, thereby preventing the water trough 2 from moving out, and thus preventing the water trough 2 from being locked in the drinking area 1.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the fastener 41 is U-shaped, with one end connected to the side of the water retaining cover 4 away from the hinge, and the other end extending in the direction of the fastening hole 12, and can be inserted into the fastening hole 12 to fix the water retaining cover 4 in the accommodating hole 11, while preventing the water retaining cover 4 from over-turning and entering the interior of the water dispenser.

[0039] In order to more conveniently flip the water retaining cover 4 , a force-applying portion 44 protrudes outward from the bend of the fastener 41 , and the force-applying portion can more easily withdraw the fastener 41 from the fastening hole 12 , so as to facilitate flipping the water retaining cover 4 .

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, in another embodiment of the present application, the fastener 41 is S-shaped, with one end connected to one side of the water retaining cover 4 away from the hinge, and the other end extending toward the direction of the sink 2. The bent portion protruding away from the sink 2 is inserted into the fastening hole 12, and the non-connected end of the S-shaped fastener 41 is provided for the user to hold to facilitate the flipping of the water retaining cover 4.

[0041] Preferably, in the present application, the snap fastener 41 and the water retaining cover 4 are integrally formed.
