Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of baby drinking fountains, in particular to a baby anti-dry-burning drinking fountain. Background Art

[0002] In modern families, for the healthy growth of infants and young children, baby products are often differentiated from adult products, such as baby drinking water, etc. In order to be more convenient for daily use, a baby drinking fountain is often needed for the daily drinking water or milk powder brewing of infants and young children. In the existing baby drinking fountains, the liquid level sensor is usually arranged at the bottom of the water storage bucket to detect whether there is water at the bottom of the water storage bucket. When the water in the water storage bucket is insufficient, an alarm will be sounded to remind parents to add water when the machine is started. However, this kind of drinking fountain cannot detect the lowest water storage level in the water storage bucket. In other words, when there is a little water left in the water storage bucket, the liquid level sensor will not sound an alarm. At this time, when the machine is started to boil water, the small amount of water is likely to cause the phenomenon of dry burning of the drinking fountain. At the same time, when the water storage level is too low, it cannot meet the drinking needs of infants and young children, and water needs to be added and boiled again, resulting in a poor user experience.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0028] As Figures 1 - 6As shown in the figure, a baby anti-dry-burning water dispenser includes a body main body 1 and a water storage bucket 2. Specifically, an installation cavity 10 with an upper opening is provided inside the body main body 1. A wall body 101 extending downward is provided at the upper opening of the installation cavity 10, and an inward flange 102 is provided at the lower edge of the wall body 101. An outward flange 24 adapted to the inward flange 102 is provided at the upper edge of the water storage bucket 2, and the outer diameter of the outward flange 24 is greater than the inner diameter of the inward flange 102. The water storage bucket 2 is installed in the installation cavity 10, and the outward flange 24 abuts above the inward flange 102 to limit the water storage bucket 2, so that the water storage bucket 2 can be suspended and installed in the installation cavity 10. A sealing upper cover 25 is covered at the upper opening of the installation cavity 10. Specifically, the installation cavity 10 and the sealing upper cover 25 are installed by a snap-fastening method. When in use, the sealing upper cover 25 is opened to inject a certain amount of water into the water storage bucket 2.

[0029] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown in the figure, a water outlet part 11 and a control module 14 are provided on the body main body 1. The water storage bucket 2 is communicated with the water outlet part 11 through a water pump (not marked in the figure) and a water pipe (not marked in the figure). The control module 14 is electrically connected to the water outlet part 11 and the water pump. The control module 14 includes a control panel 141 and a PCB circuit board 142. When a user operates on the control panel 141, its command signal is transmitted to the PCB circuit board 142. The PCB circuit board 142 receives and transmits the signal to start the water pump. The water pump pumps water from the water storage bucket 2 through the water pipe and discharges the liquid from the water outlet part 11.

[0030] A heating device 15 is provided at the lower part of the body main body 1. The heating device 15 is closely attached to the bottom of the water storage bucket 2 and is electrically connected to the control module 14 to heat up the water in the water storage bucket 2. Specifically, the heating device 15 is a heating plate.

[0031] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, a liquid level detector 21 is installed on the inner wall of the water storage bucket 2, and the control module 14 is electrically connected to the liquid level detector 21. Specifically, the liquid level detector 21 is located on the inner wall of the side wall of the water storage bucket 2. When the liquid level in the water storage bucket 2 does not reach the height of the liquid level detector 21 or does not pass the liquid level detector 21, the water dispenser is started. The probe of the liquid level detector 21 is in contact with the water. At this time, the liquid level detector 21 will not transmit an alarm signal. On the contrary, when the liquid level in the water storage bucket 2 is below the liquid level detector 21, the water dispenser is started. The probe of the liquid level detector 21 is higher than the water level and cannot contact the water. The liquid level detector 21 cannot detect the water level, and then transmits an alarm signal to the control module 14 and issues an alarm, preventing the water dispenser from starting the heating device 15 for heating when there is no water in the water storage bucket 2, so as to achieve the effect of preventing dry burning. Further, the liquid level detector 21 is a capacitive liquid level detector.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, in order to better install the liquid level detector 21, a concave cavity 22 is provided on the inner wall of the water storage bucket 2, and the concave cavity 22 recesses into the water storage bucket 2. The concave cavity 22 is provided with an installation surface 23, and the installation surface 23 is adapted to the surface in contact with the liquid level detector 21. Specifically, in order to adapt to the shape of the liquid level detector 21, the outer edge of the concave cavity 22 bulges into the water storage bucket 2 in a circular shape and is integrally formed with the water storage bucket 2. The installation surface 23 is located at the center of the concave cavity 22. The installation surface 23 is a plane and is adapted to the surface in contact with the liquid level detector 21, so as to increase the contact area with the liquid level detector 21 and make it more firm during installation. The concave cavity 22 and the installation surface 23 are connected by an arc surface for transition, so as to enhance the rigidity of the concave cavity 22 and make it not easily deformed.

[0033] Further, as Figure 6 shown, the outer diameter of the installation surface 23 is greater than the outer diameter of the liquid level detector 21, further ensuring that when the liquid level detector 21 is installed with the installation surface 23, the contact surface is the maximum outer diameter of the liquid level detector 21, so that the liquid level detector 21 is installed more firmly and will not shake left and right due to a small contact surface.

[0034] Further, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, an installation hole 231 is provided in the installation surface 23. Specifically, the installation hole 231 is located at the central axis of the installation surface 23. The free end of the liquid level detector 21 passes through the installation hole 231 and is electrically connected to the control module 14. The fixed end of the liquid level detector 21 is fixed to the installation surface 23 by a nut. Specifically, the free end of the liquid level detector 21 passes outwards from the inside of the water storage bucket 2 through the installation hole 231 and is electrically connected to and controlled by the control module 14. Since the outer diameter of the liquid level detector 21 is greater than the outer diameter of the installation hole 231, the fixed end of the liquid level detector 21 can be limited inside the water storage bucket 2, and the nut is sleeved and fixed from the free end of the liquid level detector 21.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 shown, a sealing ring 232 is provided between the liquid level detector 21 and the installation hole 231. The sealing ring 232 is located between the liquid level detector 21 and the installation surface 23, and one end extends into the installation hole 231, and is used to seal the gap between the liquid level detector 21 and the installation surface 23 and the gap between the liquid level detector 21 and the installation hole 231, so as to prevent the water in the water storage bucket 2 from flowing outwards through the installation hole 231.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the liquid level detector 21 is located at the lower part of the side wall of the water storage bucket 2, close to the position of the inner wall bottom. Specifically, the liquid level detector 21 is at a height of 5 cm - 15 cm from the bottom of the water storage bucket 2.

[0037] As a further preference, the height of the liquid level detector 21 from the bottom of the water storage bucket 2 is 10 cm. At this height, the water storage capacity of the water storage bucket 2 is 200 ml. In other words, when the water storage capacity in the water storage bucket 2 is less than 200 ml, its liquid level cannot reach the liquid level detector 21, and when the water dispenser is started at this time, an alarm will be triggered. On the contrary, when the water storage capacity in the water storage bucket 2 is greater than 200 ml, the liquid level is higher than the position of the liquid level detector 21, and when the water dispenser is started at this time, no alarm will be triggered. It ensures that the water volume can at least brew a bottle of milk powder, avoids the situation that the water volume is found to be insufficient only when brewing milk powder after boiling water, and enables parents of infants to timely discover whether the water volume in the water storage bucket 2 meets the requirement of brewing a bottle of milk powder when boiling water.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2As shown, a heat dissipation module 16 is further provided in the fuselage main body 1. The heat dissipation module 16 includes a heat dissipation fan 161, a heat dissipation air inlet 162, and a heat dissipation air outlet 163. The heat dissipation fan 161 is located below the water storage bucket 2. The heat dissipation air inlet 162 is located below the heat dissipation fan 161 at the bottom of the fuselage main body 1. The heat dissipation air outlet 163 is located at the side of the fuselage main body 1, and the heat dissipation air outlet 163 is communicated with the heat dissipation air inlet 162.

[0039] Specifically, a mounting bracket 17 is provided in the fuselage main body 1. The mounting bracket 17 is located below the water storage bucket 2 and is fixed to the fuselage main body 1 by screws. The heating device 15 is fixed and closely attached below the water storage bucket 2 by screws.

[0040] Furthermore, the heat dissipation fan 161 is fixedly installed at a position near the heat dissipation air inlet 162 at the bottom of the fuselage main body 1 through the mounting bracket 17 and is controlled by a motor to start or stop. The motor (not marked in the figure) is electrically connected to the control module 14.

[0041] Specifically, the heat dissipation air inlet 162 is located at a position corresponding to the heat dissipation fan 161 on the bottom wall of the fuselage main body 1. The heat dissipation air outlet 163 is located on the side wall of the fuselage main body 1. During operation, the heat dissipation fan 161 starts, sucks air inward from the heat dissipation air inlet 162 and blows it towards the direction of the water storage bucket 2, and discharges it outward from the heat dissipation air outlet 163, forming air convection, so that the heating device 15 and the water in the water storage bucket 2 are quickly cooled.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention based on the concept of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
