[0031] As people's requirements for drinking water health continue to increase, water purifiers have become common equipment in many homes and offices. Water purifiers remove impurities and harmful substances in water through various filtering technologies to provide clean and safe drinking water.

[0032] In the prior art, a water purifier usually comes with a water cup, and the water cup that comes with the water purifier is usually configured to be directly mounted in a corresponding water cup mounting cavity so that the water cup can be easily taken out when needed. However, the water cup that comes with this water purifier is directly mounted in the water cup mounting cavity without corresponding positioning. As a result, during the handling or transportation of the water purifier, the water cup is easily dropped out of the water cup mounting cavity, causing the water cup to be broken or contaminated.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The present application provides a water purifier cup positioning device, including a shell 100 and a positioning structure 200.

[0034] The shell 100 has a cavity 110 for matching the water cup 300, a through hole 120 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 110, and a water hole 130 corresponding to the water inlet of the water cup 300 is provided on the side of the cavity 110. The positioning structure 200 includes a positioning block 210, an elastic component 220 and a sleeve 230. The open end of the sleeve 230 is aligned with the through hole 120 and is installed on the outer side of the bottom of the shell 100. The positioning block 210 is movably assembled in the through hole 120. One end of the positioning block 210 is located inside the cavity 110, and the other end of the positioning block 210 is located inside the sleeve 230. One end of the elastic component 220 is connected to the positioning block 210, and the other end is connected to the sleeve 230.

[0035] When the water cup 300 needs to be installed in the cavity 110, the water cup 300 is placed in the cavity 110 and pushed. The bottom edge 310 of the water cup 300 will squeeze the positioning block 210, so that the positioning block 210 sinks into the through hole 120. After the water cup 300 is put into the cavity 110, the positioning block 210 will bounce up under the rebound force of the elastic component 220, thereby limiting the bottom edge 310 of the water cup 300, so that the water cup 300 is not easy to slip out of the cavity 110. When the water cup 300 is needed, the water cup 300 is directly drawn out of the cavity 110. At this time, the bottom edge 310 of the water cup 300 will squeeze the positioning block 210, so that the positioning block 210 sinks into the through hole 120 to avoid the bottom edge 310 of the water cup 300. After the bottom edge 310 of the water cup 300 passes over the positioning block 210, the positioning block 210 releases the limit on the bottom edge 310 of the water cup 300, and the water cup 300 can be directly drawn out of the cavity 110. This positioning device can realize the positioning of the water cup 300 by setting the positioning structure 200 at the bottom of the cavity 110. The overall structure is simple, and it effectively prevents the water cup 300 provided with the water purifier from falling out of the cavity 110.

[0036] The through hole 120 is provided at the rear side of the bottom of the cavity 110 , and is used to define the bottom edge 310 of the rear side of the water cup 300 .

[0037] In order to improve the positioning effect and make the positioning block 210 position the water cup 300 more stably, in some embodiments, a plurality of through holes 120 are provided, and each through hole 120 is arranged at intervals along the width direction of the cavity 110, and a plurality of positioning structures 200 are provided, and a positioning structure 200 is installed corresponding to the position of each through hole 120.

[0038] For example, in the embodiment shown in the present application, two through holes 120 and two positioning structures 200 are provided.

[0039] In some embodiments, the positioning block 210 includes a limiting column 211, a limiting plate 212 and a connecting end 213. The connecting end 213 and the limiting column 211 are respectively arranged on both sides of the limiting plate 212. The end of the limiting column 211 is a spherical structure. The limiting column 211 extends into the through hole 120. One end of the limiting column 211 with a spherical structure protrudes inside the cavity 110. The diameter of the limiting column 211 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 120. The diameter of the limiting plate 212 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 120. The connecting end 213 is connected to the elastic component 220.

[0040] Specifically, the limiting plate 212 is a disc-shaped structure, the limiting column 211 is a columnar structure, which is vertically fixed in the middle of one side of the limiting plate 212, the connecting end 213 is a columnar structure, which is vertically fixed in the middle of the other side of the limiting plate 212, and the side of the limiting column 211 away from the limiting plate 212 is set to a spherical structure, which facilitates the bottom edge 310 of the water cup 300 to squeeze the limiting column 211. The limiting plate 212 plays a role of limiting, preventing the limiting column 211 extending into the through hole 120 from protruding too much at the bottom of the cavity 110 to hinder the limiting of the water cup 300.

[0041] In some embodiments, the elastic component 220 is a cylindrical spring, the diameter of the elastic component 220 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting plate 212 , one end of the elastic component 220 is sleeved on the connecting end 213 and abuts against the limiting plate 212 , and the other end abuts against the inside of the sleeve 230 .

[0042] In some other embodiments, the elastic component 220 and the positioning block 210 are hidden inside the sleeve 230 .

[0043] Specifically, the inner diameter of the sleeve 230 is larger than the diameter of the limit plate 212. One side of the opening of the sleeve 230 corresponds to the through hole 120 and is pressed against the outer side of the bottom of the shell 100 for connection. One end of the elastic component 220 is pressed against the inside of the sleeve 230, and the other end is sleeved on the connecting end 213 and pressed against the limit plate 212. When the sleeve 230 is installed, the elastic component 220 and the positioning block 210 will be hidden inside the sleeve 230, making the overall structure of the entire positioning structure 200 more concise.

[0044] In some other embodiments, the positioning block 210 may also be directly configured as a cylindrical structure, one end of which is fixedly connected to the elastic component 220 , and the other end of which is connected to the inside of the sleeve 230 .

[0045] In some embodiments, the connection terminal 213 is a cross-column structure. In this way, the area of ​​the connection terminal 213 is reduced while ensuring the connection performance between the connection terminal 213 and the elastic component 220, so as to prevent the limiting column 211 from shrinking. If the connection terminal 213 is set as a cylindrical structure, it is found that the limiting column 211 will shrink during actual use.

[0046] In order to facilitate the disassembly of the positioning structure 200 , in some embodiments, the sleeve 230 is detachably connected to the housing 100 .

[0047] In the embodiment shown in the present application, a connecting column 140 is provided at the bottom of the shell 100 on both sides of the through hole 120, and a first connecting hole 141 is provided on the connecting column 140. Connecting ears 231 are provided on both sides of the sleeve 230, and a second connecting hole 2310 is provided on the connecting ears 231. The second connecting hole 2310 corresponds to the first connecting hole 141, and fasteners 240 are provided in the first connecting hole 141 and the second connecting hole 2310 to connect the connecting ears 231 and the connecting column 140.

[0048] Specifically, an internal thread is provided inside the first connecting hole 141, and an internal thread is provided inside the second connecting hole 2310. The fastener 240 is a fastening bolt, and the fastener 240 is directly threadedly connected in the first connecting hole 141 and the second connecting hole 2310 to fix the connecting ear 231 and the connecting column 140.

[0049] In some embodiments, a limiting step 150 is provided around the through hole 120 at the bottom of the housing 100 . The limiting step 150 is located between the two connecting columns 140 , and the end of the sleeve 230 can cooperate with the limiting step 150 .

[0050] Specifically, the limiting step 150 is an inward-recessed step structure arranged around the through hole 120. During the installation of the sleeve 230, the open end of the sleeve 230 is directly embedded in the limiting step 150. The sleeve 230 is limited by the limiting step 150 to prevent the sleeve 230 from sliding relative to the shell 100. The installation of the sleeve 230 in the limiting step 150 also ensures the alignment accuracy between the sleeve 230 and the through hole 120, making the installation more convenient.

[0051] The present application also provides a water purifier, comprising any one of the above water purifier water cup positioning devices.
