Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water dispensers, and more specifically to a water spout, a faucet and a water dispenser system. Background Art

[0002] With the popularity of water purifiers, users have a higher demand for the use of water purifiers. The integrated water purifier and heat machine that can produce hot water has brought users a new experience. More and more integrated water purifier and heat machine that can produce hot water have begun to appear on the market. The faucets of integrated water purifier and heat machine are required to produce both cold water and hot water. When hot water is produced, because the hot water contains a large number of steam bubbles, the steam and hot water are mixed and discharged from the water outlet, which can easily lead to unstable water flow, spraying and splashing, and sometimes even scald users.

[0003] For this reason, water spouts with water vapor separation function are commonly used in drinking water purification equipment. An independent steam discharge channel is provided in the water spout, so that after water vapor separation, high-temperature steam can be discharged from the steam discharge channel to prevent scalding. However, in practice, it is difficult for high-temperature bubbles to be completely separated from the water flow, which will cause some bubbles to flow out with the water flow and cause water splashing. In particular, large bubbles are more likely to squeeze the water flow or cause bubble bursting, causing a "thump thump" sound when releasing water, resulting in discontinuous water flow or unsightly bifurcated water shape. Large bubbles bursting at the water outlet may even cause water splashing, greatly affecting the user experience.

[0004] There are a lot of public disclosures about the water shape optimization technology of the water outlet nozzle in the industry. For example, the patent with publication number CN218796632U discloses a water outlet nozzle. The design focuses on guiding the water in the steam discharge channel toward the outlet end of the hot water outlet channel through the guide surface set at the outlet end of the water vapor discharge channel, so as to avoid the water shape from dispersing as much as possible. The patent with publication number CN219229630U discloses a water outlet assembly and a water purifier for a water purifier. By setting a guide piece in the water outlet flow channel, even when the water flows through the guide piece during the water purifier water making process, the guide piece adjusts and changes the direction of the water flow to avoid excessive dispersion of the water flow and can effectively converge. The above designs are all to guide the direction of the water flow so that the water flow can be concentrated as much as possible, but when the internal steam bubble problem is not significantly alleviated, even if the diversion helps the water flow converge, it is difficult to achieve a thorough improvement of the water shape due to the influence of bubbles.

[0005] The patent with publication number CN218552090U discloses a water outlet assembly, which divides the water outlet cavity into two cavities by a first baffle. Water flows into the first cavity and is discharged from the first water outlet, while water vapor flows from the connecting part to the second cavity and is discharged from the first outlet, thereby achieving water vapor separation. The patent with publication number CN217524670U discloses a water vapor separation box, in which a drainage cavity and a first partition are provided, and the first partition separates the drainage cavity into a water vapor separation cavity and an exhaust cavity. The patent with publication number CN106595057A discloses an electric water heater water outlet nozzle structure, in which a slow flow cavity is provided between the water inlet joint and the nozzle body, a water vapor separation cavity is provided in the nozzle body, and a slow flow sheet 1 is provided between the slow flow cavity and the water vapor separation cavity. The patent with publication number CN216628240U discloses a safe hot water discharge device, in which a water vapor separation box is installed with a water-blocking steam-breaking plate, which is arranged facing and close to the water inlet interface; hot water accompanied by water vapor flows into the water vapor separation box from the water inlet interface, and after contacting the water-blocking steam-breaking plate, water vapor is separated in the cavity of the water vapor separation box, and the water vapor moves upward and is discharged from the steam exhaust port. Although the above-mentioned design forms are different, they all achieve water vapor separation by setting a baffle structure in the water vapor separation chamber and utilizing the impact effect of water flow with the baffle when passing through. However, in the actual water discharge process, the rapid flow of water and the impact effect of the baffle are very short and limited, and the degree of water vapor separation is inevitably insufficient, and some bubbles may still flow down with the water. With the increasing demand for user experience, more efficient and sufficient water-gas separation and more stable and safer water flow effects will also become important factors affecting user choices. Utility Model Content

[0006] 1. Technical problems to be solved by the utility model

[0007] In view of the situation in the prior art that when a water dispenser discharges hot water, the presence of high-temperature steam can easily affect the continuity of the water flow or cause hot water splashing, the utility model intends to provide a water outlet, a faucet and a water dispenser system. By optimizing the structure of the water outlet, the adequacy of water vapor separation can be further improved, especially avoiding unstable water pressure or sputtering caused by the presence of large bubbles, thereby improving user experience.

[0008] 2. Technical solution

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution provided by the utility model is:

[0010] The utility model discloses a water outlet nozzle, comprising a water outlet body, wherein the inner cavity of the water outlet body is provided with a partition plate extending in the height direction, the partition plate divides the inner cavity of the water outlet body into a separation cavity and an exhaust cavity, wherein a hot water inlet pipe is connected to the outer wall of the water outlet body, the hot water inlet pipe is connected to the separation cavity, the bottom of the separation cavity is provided with a drainage channel connected to the outside; the exhaust cavity is provided with an exhaust channel connected to the outside; a dividing rib plate is provided in the inner cavity of the hot water inlet pipe, one end of the dividing rib plate is arranged on the inner wall of the hot water inlet pipe, and extends from the inner wall of the hot water inlet pipe to the inside of the cavity, dividing the cross-section of the cavity of the hot water inlet pipe into a plurality of areas, the plurality of areas are completely separated by the dividing rib plate or some areas remain connected; along the axial direction of the hot water inlet pipe, the dividing rib plate extends from the outlet end connected to the separation cavity by the hot water inlet pipe to the inlet end, and is used to puncture the bubbles before they enter the separation cavity so as to reduce the volume of the bubbles.

[0011] To ensure the bubble puncturing effect, preferably, the axial extension length L1 of the dividing rib along the hot water inlet pipe is not less than 3mm, such as 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, etc., to ensure that the bubbles can be broken and reduced in size after sufficient separation with sufficient axial length. At the same time, to prevent the punctured bubbles from reaggregating and increasing in the lumen, preferably, the axial extension length of the dividing rib in the hot water inlet pipe is L1, and the axial extension length of the hot water inlet pipe is L2, and L1 does not exceed half of L2. In practice, one end of the dividing rib is preferably extended to be flush with the inner wall surface of the separation cavity, so as to facilitate the overall injection molding process.

[0012] In order to achieve concentrated guidance of water flow, a guide rod distributed along the height direction is further provided in the separation chamber. The surface of the guide rod is smooth, and the bottom end extends into the drainage channel. The guide rod is located at the center of the inner cavity of the faucet body and at the center of the drainage channel, thereby achieving central water outlet. The guide rod can be made of metal material with good adsorption properties to ensure the concentration of water flow direction.

[0013] In order to further improve the water vapor separation effect, it can be further optimized that a plurality of groups of vertical ribs extending along the height direction are arranged at intervals in the separation chamber, and the extension height of the vertical ribs is not lower than the height of the outlet end connecting the hot water inlet pipe and the separation chamber, and the vertical ribs are located in the area between the drainage channel and the inner wall of the separation chamber. By arranging the vertical ribs, water flow agitation can be promoted between the hot water inlet pipe and the guide rod, which is helpful for sufficient separation of water vapor and prevents the incoming bubbles from being directly adsorbed on the guide rod and discharged with the water. At the same time, the vertical ribs themselves can also adsorb the broken bubbles, and finally move the adsorbed bubbles upward to the exhaust chamber for discharge.

[0014] As a preferred design for the exhaust channel, an exhaust channel is provided at the bottom of the exhaust chamber, and the exhaust channel is arc-shaped and surrounds the outer periphery of the drainage channel, and is separated from the drainage channel by a partition plate. More specifically, the bottom of the faucet body has a lower cover, and the area of ​​the lower cover located at the bottom of the separation chamber is provided with a first opening to form a drainage channel, and a cylindrical faucet outlet is provided below the first opening, and the inner cavity of the faucet outlet is connected with the first opening to serve as a drainage channel together; the bottom of the guide rod extends into the faucet outlet, and a plurality of groups of limiting ribs are provided at intervals along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the faucet outlet, and the plurality of groups of limiting ribs extend radially to limit and clamp the central guide rod, so as to facilitate the positioning and installation of the guide rod, and the limiting ribs also help to further guide and concentrate the direction of the water flow. In coordination with this, further, the top of the faucet body has a closed upper cover, and the middle part of the upper cover is provided with an installation cavity for installing the guide rod, and the top end of the guide rod is fitted into the installation cavity. By cooperating with the installation cavity at the top and the limiting rib plate at the bottom, the guide rod is positioned and installed with the head and tail corresponding to each other, and the shaking of the guide rod is effectively prevented, thereby ensuring the stability of the subsequent water shape.

[0015] Furthermore, a second opening is provided in the area of ​​the lower cover corresponding to the bottom of the exhaust chamber to form an exhaust passage. An intermediate ring wall is also provided around the bottom of the lower cover at the periphery of the water nozzle outlet. In the gap enclosed by the intermediate ring wall and the water nozzle outlet, a partial area is connected to the second opening and serves as an exhaust passage. The exhaust passage formed by the intermediate ring wall and the water nozzle outlet is also helpful to centrally guide the exhaust steam.

[0016] As a specific design of the partition plate, further, the partition plate includes straight plates extending in the radial direction of the inner cavity of the faucet body on both sides, and an arc-shaped plate connected between the straight plates on both sides and protruding toward the exhaust chamber. The arc-shaped plate, the inner cavity of the faucet body and the guide rod are concentrically distributed, which not only allows the separation chamber and the exhaust chamber to each have sufficient space, but also can meet the requirement of central discharge of water flow.

[0017] In order to realize the comprehensive water outlet function of the water outlet, further, the outer wall of the water outlet body is also connected to a non-hot water inlet pipe, which is connected to the separation chamber. The non-hot water may specifically include normal temperature water or ice water, which enters the water outlet through the non-hot water inlet pipe and is also discharged through the drainage channel at the bottom of the separation chamber. In practice, the hot water flow rate is often relatively small, and the normal temperature water flow rate is relatively larger. Large-flow water can overflow the partition plate and reach the exhaust chamber, and is also discharged through the exhaust channel at the bottom of the exhaust chamber to meet the large-flow water outlet requirements. The exhaust channel is annular and tightly surrounds the side of the drainage channel, which can also ensure the beautiful shape of the large-flow water outlet.

[0018] The utility model also provides a faucet having a water outlet as described above, wherein the faucet has a hot water connection pipe connected to the hot water inlet pipe of the water outlet. Similarly, when the water outlet has a non-hot water inlet pipe, the faucet also has a pipe corresponding to the non-hot water inlet pipe.

[0019] The utility model also provides a water dispenser system, which has a water outlet as described above. The hot water outlet pipe in the water dispenser system is connected to the hot water inlet pipe of the water outlet. Similarly, when the water outlet is also provided with a non-hot water inlet pipe, the water dispenser system has a corresponding pipe connected to the non-hot water inlet pipe.

[0020] 3. Beneficial effects

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) The water outlet of the utility model is provided with a dividing rib plate in the inner cavity of the hot water inlet pipe, and the dividing rib plate is used to divide the cross-section of the hot water inlet pipe into multiple parts, so that the water flow and the dividing rib plate are pre-collided and flushed before the hot water enters the separation chamber, which is convenient for the pre-separation of bubbles. In particular, the dividing rib plate can effectively puncture and crush large bubbles in the water flow, so that the large bubbles are turned into very fine small bubbles before entering the separation chamber. The separation and upward movement of small bubbles is more efficient and rapid, and the water vapor separation is more complete, which can reduce the presence of large bubbles.

[0023] (2) In the water outlet of the utility model, the dividing rib plate is located at the end of the hot water inlet pipe closer to the separation chamber, and the extension length of the dividing rib plate is limited to prevent the punctured small bubbles from re-aggregating into large bubbles and then entering the separation chamber during the circulation process of the rear section of the hot water inlet pipe. In this way, the bubbles remain in the fine state after being punctured and directly and quickly enter the separation chamber, thereby improving the adequacy of bubble separation.

[0024] (3) The water outlet of the utility model is also provided with a guide rod distributed along the height direction in the separation chamber. The guide rod can be made of a metal guide rod with a smooth surface, which has better adsorption and guiding properties for the water flow. The guide rod is located at the center of the drainage channel, so that the guide rod is centered and the water is evenly discharged around the guide rod. The water flow can be guided to make the water flow more concentrated, and the water flow is better and directly downward without deviation and splashing.

[0025] (4) In the water outlet of the utility model, a plurality of groups of vertical ribs extending in the height direction are arranged at intervals in the separation chamber. The extension height of the vertical ribs is not less than the extension height of the tube cavity of the hot water inlet pipe, which not only further promotes the crushing and separation of bubbles, but also can adsorb on the surface of some fine bubbles, so that after the bubbles enter the separation chamber, they are not easily adsorbed to the guide rod in the central area and discharged with the water. Instead, after being adsorbed on the vertical ribs, they overflow upward along the direction of the vertical ribs to the exhaust chamber for external discharge, thereby improving the adequacy of water vapor separation.

[0050] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0051] Example

[0052] Combination Figure 1-Figure 11As shown, the present embodiment provides a water outlet that can efficiently realize water vapor separation, including a water outlet body 120, the water outlet body 120 having an upper cover 110 on the top, a lower cover 145 on the bottom, and an inner cavity inside, a partition plate 150 extending along the height direction is provided in the inner cavity of the water outlet body 120, the partition plate 150 divides the inner cavity of the water outlet body 120 into a separation cavity 124 and an exhaust cavity 123, the height of the partition plate 150 is lower than the top wall height of the water outlet body 120, so that there is a certain gap between the partition plate 150 and the upper cover 110 as a bubble upward movement channel, and the bubbles separated in the separation cavity 124 move upward and move from the gap at the top of the partition plate 150 to the exhaust cavity 123 for exhaust. A hot water inlet pipe 130 is connected to the outer wall of the faucet body 120, and the hot water inlet pipe 130 is connected to the separation chamber 124. The bottom of the separation chamber 124 has a drainage channel 146 that communicates with the outside, that is, an opening is provided on the lower cover 145 as the drainage channel 146; the hot water inlet pipe 130 is used to supply hot water for the drinking water equipment.

[0053] In the prior art, the existence of the partition plate 150 is generally used to separate water vapor. After the hot water enters the separation chamber 124, the bubbles move upward. After the water flow impacts the partition plate 150, the water vapor separation is accelerated so that more bubbles can move upward to the exhaust chamber 123 for separate exhaust. However, in practice, the effect of water vapor separation is not ideal. It is difficult for bubbles to be separated from water efficiently and quickly. In particular, the remaining large bubbles are easy to squeeze the water flow, causing it to burst and splash when the water is discharged or the water flow is intermittent. Some small bubbles are also easy to be discharged with the water flow, resulting in an unsightly and continuous water shape.

[0054] In this embodiment, a dividing rib 131 is provided in the inner cavity of the hot water inlet pipe 130. One end of the dividing rib 131 is provided on the inner wall of the hot water inlet pipe 130 and extends from the inner wall of the hot water inlet pipe 130 to the inner cavity of the pipe, dividing the cross section of the cavity of the hot water inlet pipe 130 into multiple regions. The multiple regions are completely separated by the dividing rib 131 or some regions are kept connected. In addition, along the axial direction of the hot water inlet pipe 130, the dividing rib 131 extends from the outlet end of the hot water inlet pipe 130 connected to the separation cavity 124 to the inlet end, and is used to puncture the bubbles before they enter the separation cavity 124 to reduce the volume of the bubbles. In practice, the dividing rib 131 can adopt a variety of structural forms, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a cross-shaped rib plate structure can be used to divide the cross section of the hot water inlet pipe 130 into four completely separated areas, which is convenient for processing and has a better effect on crushing bubbles. Fig.12As shown, the dividing rib plate 131 can also adopt a straight-line plate as shown in design a, or multiple rib plates crisscrossing as shown in design b, or rib plates radially along the center of the tube cavity cross-section of the hot water inlet pipe 130 as shown in design c, etc. The multiple areas divided by the dividing rib plate 131 in design c still retain the connection between the central area. In practice, the dividing rib plate 131 can adopt various irregular rib plates that can divide the tube cavity cross-section of the hot water inlet pipe 130 into multiple parts. The focus is on dividing the tube cavity cross-section of the hot water inlet pipe 130 into multiple parts through the dividing rib plate 131, so that the water flow and the dividing rib plate 131 are pre-collided and flushed before the hot water enters the separation chamber 124, which is convenient for the pre-separation of bubbles. In particular, the dividing rib plate 131 can effectively puncture and crush large bubbles in the water flow, so that the large bubbles are turned into very fine small bubbles before entering the separation chamber 124. The separation and upward movement of small bubbles is more efficient and rapid, which can avoid various risks caused by the presence of large bubbles. In practice, the water flow first passes through the dividing rib plate 131 to puncture and crush bubbles before entering the separation chamber 124 for further water vapor separation, and the safety and aesthetics of the water flow are significantly improved. The dividing rib plate 131 can also be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hot water inlet pipe 130 at one end for easy processing and molding.

[0055] The axial length design of the dividing rib 131 along the hot water inlet pipe 130 also affects the puncturing effect on the bubbles. As a more preferred design, it is as short as: the axial extension length L1 of the dividing rib 131 along the hot water inlet pipe 130 is not less than 3mm; or as long as: the axial extension length L1 of the dividing rib 131 along the hot water inlet pipe 130 does not exceed half of the axial length L2 of the hot water inlet pipe 130. This requirement can coexist with the requirement that the dividing rib 131 is at least 3mm. In practice, for the convenience of demolding, the dividing rib 131 is located at the end of the hot water inlet pipe 130 that is closer to the separation chamber 124, with the center point of the length direction of the hot water inlet pipe 130 as the boundary, and preferably extends to be flush with the inner wall of the separation chamber 124, and then the other end extends into the hot water inlet pipe 130. That is, a dividing rib plate 131 is mainly set at the tail end of the hot water inlet pipe 130 close to the separation chamber 124. The front section does not affect the rapid entry of water flow, and can fully puncture the bubbles at the tail end and keep the bubbles in a fine state after being punctured to directly and quickly enter the separation chamber 124.

[0056] The setting of the dividing rib plate 131 can effectively improve the water vapor separation effect. On this basis, in order to further improve the optimization of the water flow and water shape, the separation chamber 124 is also provided with a guide rod 160 distributed along the height direction. Specifically, a metal guide rod with a smooth surface can be used, which has better adsorption and guidance properties for the water flow. The bottom end of the guide rod 160 is a tapered rod with a gradually reduced cross-section downward, and the bottom end of the guide rod 160 extends into the drainage channel 146. The guide rod 160 is located at the center of the inner cavity of the faucet body 120 and the center of the drainage channel 146, thereby achieving the effect of the guide rod 160 being centered and the water flowing uniformly around the guide rod 160. In practice, when hot water is discharged, the flow rate is generally relatively small, and it is more likely to cause water to float and splash. The guide rod 160 can be used to guide the water flow to make the water flow more concentrated, and the water flow is better and directly downward without deviation and splashing.

[0057] In order to further improve the safety and stability of hot water output, the following optimizations can be made: Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of groups of vertical ribs 161 extending in the height direction are arranged in the separation chamber 124 at intervals, and the extension height of the vertical ribs 161 is not less than the extension height of the tube cavity of the hot water inlet pipe 130, and the vertical ribs 161 are located in the area between the drainage channel 146 and the inner wall of the separation chamber 124, that is, the vertical ribs 161 are distributed between the guide rod 160 and the dividing rib plate 131. By providing a plurality of groups of vertical ribs 161, not only can the crushing and separation of bubbles be further promoted, but also some of the fine bubbles can be adsorbed on the surface, so that after entering the separation chamber 124, the bubbles are not easily adsorbed directly to the guide rod 160 in the central area and discharged with the water, but first adsorbed on the vertical ribs 161, and then more easily overflowed upward along the direction of the vertical ribs 161 to the exhaust chamber 123 for external discharge. In this way, through the multiple coordinated effects of the dividing rib plate 131, the vertical rib 161 and the guide rod 160, most of the bubbles can be separated from the water vapor and discharged efficiently. Even if there are bubbles remaining, only a small amount of very fine bubbles will flow downward with the water, which will basically not affect the water flow effect, and can fully meet the user's experience needs.

[0058] As one of the designs that can be selected in practice, in this embodiment, a steam exhaust channel 144 is provided at the bottom of the steam exhaust chamber 123. The steam exhaust channel 144 is arc-shaped and surrounds the outer periphery of the drainage channel 146, and is separated from the drainage channel 146 by a partition plate 150. In this embodiment, the upper cover 110 adopts a closed design, and the separated bubbles are also discharged from the bottom, which makes the structural design and processing more convenient. And further, in practice, in addition to the hot water function, the drinking water equipment preferably also has the function of discharging normal temperature water and cold water. Correspondingly, a non-hot water inlet pipe 132 is also connected to the outer wall of the faucet body 120, and the non-hot water inlet pipe 132 is also connected to the separation chamber 124. The non-hot water inlet pipe 132 can be used as an inlet pipe for normal temperature water and / or cold water to enter the separation chamber 124. Naturally, the non-hot water inlet pipe 132 does not need to be provided with a dividing rib plate 131. After the water flows into the separation chamber 124, it is discharged through the drainage channel 146. When the water outlet nozzle is used in an environment where a large flow of normal temperature water is required, such as kitchen water, in order to increase the flow of normal temperature water, the effective area of ​​the lumen of the non-hot water inlet pipe 132 can be set to be larger than the effective area of ​​the lumen of the hot water inlet pipe 130. At this time, if the water flow is large, the normal temperature water can be discharged through the drainage channel 146. Warm water can also flow over the partition plate 150 into the exhaust chamber 123 and be discharged together through the exhaust channel 144 at the bottom. The exhaust chamber 123 and the exhaust channel 144 not only serve as the bubble discharge area, but can also serve as the water flow discharge area when connected to a large flow water environment. The structure is more streamlined, and the exhaust channel 144 is annular and tightly surrounds the outer periphery of the drainage channel 146. When used as a large flow supplement water, the two groups of water flows can still maintain a centralized water discharge state without obvious separation of the water flow.

[0059] As one of the specific design implementations of the drainage channel 146 and the exhaust channel 144, an opening can be directly opened at the corresponding position of the lower cover 145 as the drainage channel 146 and the exhaust channel 144. Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the area of ​​the lower cover 145 located at the bottom of the separation chamber 124 is provided with a first opening to form a drainage channel 146, and a cylindrical water nozzle outlet 140 is provided below the first opening. The water nozzle outlet 140 continues to extend downward, and its inner cavity is connected with the first opening to form the drainage channel 146. Correspondingly, the area of ​​the lower cover 145 located at the bottom of the steam exhaust chamber 123 is correspondingly provided with a second opening to form the steam exhaust channel 144. The bottom of the lower cover 145 is also provided with an intermediate ring wall 141 around the outer periphery of the water nozzle outlet 140. In the gap enclosed by the intermediate ring wall 141 and the water nozzle outlet 140, a partial area is connected with the second opening to form the steam exhaust channel 144. Specifically, the second opening and the steam exhaust channel 144 are both in a semicircular ring shape surrounding the outside of the drainage channel 146. A concentrically distributed outer ring wall 142 is provided on the outside of the middle ring wall 141 at the bottom of the lower cover 145. The area enclosed by the middle ring wall 141 and the outer ring wall 142 forms an installation gap for installing a sealing ring 170, so as to achieve a sealed installation of the water outlet in the drinking water device to prevent water leakage.
