[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0035] Below with reference toFigures 1 - 3 A chassis 10 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is described.

[0036] like Figures 1 - 3 As shown, the chassis 10 according to the first embodiment of the utility model comprises: a bottom plate 101 and a rib 102. The rib 102 is connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 and extends upward, and the rib 102 extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the bottom plate 101. The rib 102 cooperates with the bottom plate 101 to define a water receiving cavity with an open top.

[0037] For example, the chassis 10 is arranged at the lower part of the drinking water equipment 100, and the chassis 10 is fixedly connected to the drinking water equipment 100. The bottom plate 101, as the foundation of the bottom plate 10, can be made of a material with good waterproof performance and corrosion resistance to ensure that the bottom plate 101 can maintain structural integrity and prevent water leakage even if it is in contact with water for a long time. Specifically, the bottom plate 101 has an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 is the surface of the bottom plate 101 facing the drinking water equipment 100, and the lower surface of the bottom plate 101 is the surface of the bottom plate 101 facing away from the drinking water equipment 100. Further, the projection shape of the bottom plate 101 in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 can be a rectangle. The ribs 102 are arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 101, the lower end of the ribs 102 is connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101, and the upper end of the ribs 102 extends upward in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101.

[0038] The ribs 102 are arranged on the inner side of the edge of the bottom plate 101 and extend along the circumference of the bottom plate 101 to form an annular structure. Furthermore, the ribs 102 extend along the circumference of the bottom plate 101 to form a rectangular shape. Furthermore, the ribs 102 have an inner side wall and an outer side wall. The inner side wall of the ribs 102 faces away from the edge of the bottom plate 101, and the outer side wall of the ribs 102 faces the edge of the bottom plate 101. The inner side wall of the ribs 102 and the upper side surface of the bottom plate 101 together form a water receiving cavity with an open top. Furthermore, the projection shape of the water receiving cavity in a direction perpendicular to the bottom plate 101 can be a rectangle. In addition, the chassis 10 is a part of the box body of the drinking water equipment 100. The lower side surface of the bottom plate 101 of the chassis 10 can be provided with a base 1011 of the drinking water equipment 100. The base 1011 of the drinking water equipment 100 can be a rubber pad, and the base 1011 can be fixedly connected to the bottom plate 101 by bolts.

[0039] It should be noted that, for the drinking water device 100 , the location where water leakage occurs is usually at the waterway plate at the rear position of the drinking water device 100 . When the waterway plate leaks, the leaked water drips downward from the waterway plate or flows onto the chassis 10 of the drinking water device 100 .

[0040] In this embodiment, when the water dispenser 100 leaks, the leaked water drops or flows onto the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 of the chassis 10 and gradually accumulates in the water receiving cavity with an open top formed jointly by the bottom plate 101 and the surrounding rib 102. Thus, the leaked water can be effectively collected in the water receiving cavity, preventing the water dripping inside the water dispenser 100 from leaking outside the water dispenser 100, ensuring the cleanliness and tidiness of the area where the water dispenser 100 is located. At the same time, the surrounding rib 102 can effectively enhance the structural strength of the bottom plate 101, ensuring that the bottom plate 101 will not deform excessively when bearing water pressure, thereby effectively maintaining its leak prevention performance. In addition, the structure of the surrounding rib 102 is simple, which can effectively simplify the structure of the chassis 10 and effectively reduce costs.

[0041] According to the chassis 10 of the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the bottom plate 101, the surrounding rib 102 and the water receiving cavity with an open top formed jointly by the bottom plate 101 and the surrounding rib 102 in the chassis 10, the water leaked from the water dispenser 100 can be collected in the water receiving cavity, preventing the water from overflowing and dispersing, thereby effectively protecting the water dispenser 100. In addition, the surrounding rib 102 can improve the structural strength of the chassis 10 and extend the service life of the chassis 10. Moreover, the water receiving cavity is directly formed on the chassis 10 without the need to additionally provide a water receiving tray, reducing the number of components, occupying less space, and reducing the cost of the water dispenser 100.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the height H1 of the surrounding rib 102 is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 10 mm. For example, the dimension of the surrounding rib 102 in the direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 can be 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, and 10 mm.

[0043] When the water dispenser 100 leaks, the height of the surrounding rib 102 directly affects the leak prevention ability of the chassis 10. Insufficient height of the surrounding rib 102 will not only reduce the structural strength and stability of the bottom plate 101, but also easily cause the water in the water receiving cavity to overflow outside the surrounding rib 102. Excessive height of the surrounding rib 102 will occupy too much installation space. In addition, during the manufacturing process of the chassis 10, the height of the surrounding rib 102 has a direct impact on the mold design, material consumption, and processing difficulty. Excessive or insufficient height of the surrounding rib 102 will increase production costs and reduce production efficiency.

[0044] Therefore, by restricting the height of the surrounding rib 102 between 4 mm and 10 mm, not only does the bottom plate 101 have sufficient structural strength and stability, but also the chassis 10 has good ability to collect leaked water. In addition, it can effectively save production materials, reduce processing difficulty, and thus effectively reduce costs.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present utility model, asFigures 1 - 3 As shown in the figure, an overflow port 103 is formed on the chassis 10, and the overflow port 103 is higher than the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity. For example, the overflow port 103 is located within the area surrounded by the rib 102 and above the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity. Further, the projected shape of the overflow port 103 on the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 can be circular or rectangular. The overflow port 103 can act as a safety valve, and the height of the overflow port 103 from the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 can be used as the safety water level of the accumulated water in the water receiving cavity.

[0046] When the drinking water device 100 leaks, the water level in the water receiving cavity gradually rises. When the water level in the water receiving cavity is lower than the height position where the overflow port 103 is located, the water in the water receiving cavity will not easily flow out from the overflow port 103. When the water level in the water receiving cavity rises to the height position where the overflow port 103 is located, the water in the water receiving cavity overflows from the overflow port 103 and is discharged outside the drinking water device 100, thereby preventing the bottom of the hot water tank 50 at the lower position behind the drinking water device 100 from contacting the water in the water receiving cavity. In addition, when a serious leak occurs due to a malfunction inside the drinking water device 100, the overflow mechanism of the overflow port 103 can serve as an emergency measure to prevent excessive pressure caused by too high a water level in the water receiving cavity and protect the chassis 10 from damage.

[0047] In this embodiment, by providing the overflow port 103 on the chassis 10 and the overflow port 103 being higher than the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity, when the water level in the water receiving cavity is higher than the preset safety water level, it can overflow outside the drinking water device 100 through the overflow port 103, thereby effectively protecting the safe operation of the hot water tank 50 of the drinking water device 100, effectively ensuring that the water pressure on the chassis 10 is within a reliable range, and further effectively improving the safety and reliability of the drinking water device 100.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present utility model, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 the figure, the chassis 10 further includes an overflow rib 104. A through hole 105 penetrating the bottom plate 101 in the vertical direction is formed on the bottom plate 101. The overflow rib 104 is connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101 and extends circumferentially along the through hole 105 to form a ring shape, and the upper end of the overflow rib 104 defines the overflow port 103.

[0049] For example, the through hole 105 is provided on the bottom plate 101 and penetrates the bottom plate 101 vertically. The lower end of the overflow rib 104 is connected to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101, and the overflow port 103 is provided at the upper end of the overflow rib 104. Further, the upper end of the overflow rib 104 extends upward in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the bottom plate 101. The overflow rib 104 extends circumferentially along the through hole 105 to form a ring structure. Further, the cross-sectional shape of the overflow rib 104 in the direction perpendicular to the circumferential extension direction of the through hole 105 can be rectangular, and the overflow rib 104 can be integrally formed with the bottom plate 101.

[0050] Since the overflow rib 104 itself has a certain structural strength, the overflow rib 104 is not likely to undergo excessive deformation under the action of water pressure. When the water level in the water receiving cavity rises to the height position of the overflow port 103, the overflow rib 104 can guide the water in the water receiving cavity to smoothly flow into the overflow port 103, and then flow into the through hole 105 through the overflow rib 104, and finally be discharged outside the drinking device 100.

[0051] Thus, by providing the through hole 105 and the overflow rib 104 on the chassis 10 and defining the overflow port 103 at the upper end of the overflow rib 104, the stability of the overflow port 103 can be increased, the flow direction of the water overflowing in the water receiving cavity can be clarified, splashing of the water in the water receiving cavity during overflow can be avoided, so that the water in the water receiving cavity can effectively overflow smoothly when the overflow condition is met, thereby effectively enhancing the overflow function of the chassis 10 and optimizing the control of the overflow water flow. In addition, the overflow rib 104 has a simple structure, a small volume, and is easy to process, which can effectively reduce costs.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the overflow port 103 is lower than the upper edge of the surrounding rib 102, and the distance H2 between the overflow port 103 and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity is greater than or equal to 7 mm and less than 10 mm. For example, the distance H2 between the overflow port 103 and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity can be 7 mm, 8 mm, and 9 mm.

[0053] When the drinking device 100 has continuous water leakage, the water level in the water receiving cavity gradually rises to the height position where the overflow port 103 is located, and the water in the water receiving cavity continuously overflows from the overflow port 103. Since the overflow port 103 is lower than the upper edge of the surrounding rib 102, the water level in the water receiving cavity is always lower than the upper edge of the surrounding rib 102. Thus, the water in the water receiving cavity will not overflow outside the surrounding rib 102. In addition, the distance between the overflow port 103 and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity directly affects the overflow effect. If the distance between the overflow port 103 and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity is too small, false overflow may be caused by slight water level fluctuations, which will affect the normal operation of the drinking device 100. If the distance between the overflow port 103 and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity is too large, the overflow response will be delayed when the water level in the water receiving cavity continuously rises, which will increase the risk of damage to the drinking device 100.

[0054] Thus, by setting the height of the overflow port 103 to be lower than the upper edge of the surrounding rib 102, and the distance H2 between the overflow port 103 and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity is greater than or equal to 7 mm and less than 10 mm, the occurrence of false overflow can be effectively avoided, the water flow can quickly and smoothly pass through the overflow port 103 and be discharged outside the drinking device 100, the height of the safety water level can be accurately set, so that the efficiency and controllability of the overflow process can be effectively improved.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the chassis 10 further includes a retaining rib 106. The retaining rib 106 extends along a first direction and its two ends are respectively connected to the opposite side walls of the surrounding rib 102. The retaining rib 106 divides the water receiving cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity. The first cavity is configured to be vertically opposite to the water circuit board of the drinking water device 100, and the overflow port 103 is provided in the first cavity.

[0056] For example, the first direction may be the left - right direction. The retaining rib 106 extends along the first direction. The left end of the retaining rib 106 is connected to the inner side wall of the left surrounding rib 102, and the right end of the retaining rib 106 is connected to the inner side wall of the right surrounding rib 102. Further, the cross - sectional shape of the retaining rib 106 is rectangular. The retaining rib 106 divides the water receiving cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity. Further, the first cavity is on the rear side part of the bottom plate 101 and is vertically opposite to the water circuit board of the drinking water device 100. The second cavity is on the front side part of the bottom plate 101 and is located on the side of the first cavity facing the filter element disassembly and assembly port. The overflow port 103 is provided in the first cavity, and the retaining rib 106 is located between the first cavity and the second cavity.

[0057] When the water circuit board leaks, the leaked water drips or flows into the first cavity from the water circuit board and accumulates in the first cavity. When replacing the filter element of the drinking water device 100, some water of the drinking water device 100 will drip or flow into the second cavity of the chassis 10 and accumulate in the second cavity. It should be noted that the water leakage generated when replacing the filter element of the drinking water device 100 is a normal phenomenon, and the amount of leaked water is small and does not affect the normal operation of the drinking water device 100. Since the second cavity and the first cavity are separated by the retaining rib 106, when the water levels in the first cavity and the second cavity are both lower than the retaining rib 106, the water in the first cavity and the second cavity does not flow through each other.

[0058] In this embodiment, by providing the retaining rib 106 on the chassis 10, the water receiving cavity can be effectively divided into a first cavity and a second cavity, so as to effectively achieve precise management of the water leakage of the drinking water device 100 and complete the preliminary management of the water leakage. By providing the overflow port 103 in the first cavity, the water in the first cavity can overflow when the water level is higher than the overflow port 103, thereby completing the further management of the water leakage and improving the efficiency of water leakage treatment. In addition, the retaining rib 106 can further strengthen the structural strength of the chassis 10, further reduce the deformation of the chassis 10 when bearing water pressure, and thus further ensure the anti - water - leakage effect of the chassis 10.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a first avoidance groove 107 that is recessed downward is formed on the bottom plate 101. The first avoidance groove 107 is adapted to be vertically opposite to the hot water tank 50 of the drinking water device 100. For example, the first avoidance groove 107 is provided on the upper side surface of the bottom plate 101 and is recessed downward. Further, the shape of the cross-section of the first avoidance groove 107 in the direction parallel to the upper side surface of the bottom plate 101 can be rectangular, and the area of the cross-section of the first avoidance groove 107 in the direction parallel to the upper side surface of the bottom plate 101 gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0060] When installing the hot water tank 50 of the drinking water device 100, the installation position of the hot water tank 50 can be pre-positioned through the first avoidance groove 107, so as to ensure that the hot water tank 50 can be positioned and installed quickly and accurately. In addition, by providing the first avoidance groove 107, interference between the hot water tank 50 and the bottom plate 101 can also be avoided, and the hot water tank 50 can extend into the first avoidance groove 107, so that the height of the hot water tank 50 can be increased and the volume of the hot water tank 50 can be increased.

[0061] In this embodiment, by providing a first avoidance groove 107 that is recessed downward on the chassis 10 and the first avoidance groove 107 is vertically opposite to the hot water tank 50 of the drinking water device 100, the installation efficiency of the hot water tank 50 can be effectively improved, the assembly error of the hot water tank 50 can be effectively reduced, and thus the production efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0062] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the drinking water device 100 according to the second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: a box body and a water leakage detection mechanism. The box body includes a chassis 10 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention above. The water leakage detection mechanism is provided in the box body and is used to detect the water level height in the water receiving cavity. For example, the box body includes a top plate, a left side plate, a right side plate and a chassis 10. Further, the connection between the top plate, the left side plate, the right side plate and the chassis 10 of the box body can adopt a snap connection method. The water leakage detection mechanism is provided in the box body, and the water leakage detection mechanism can detect the water level height in the first cavity.

[0063] In this embodiment, when the water circuit board of the drinking water device 100 leaks water, the leaked water drips or flows into the first cavity from the water circuit board and accumulates in the first cavity. The water leakage detection mechanism is provided in the box body and can detect the water level height in the first cavity. When the water leakage speed of the drinking water device 100 is too fast and continuous water leakage occurs, the water level in the first cavity quickly rises to a preset safety water level. The water leakage mechanism can detect that the drinking water device 100 leaks water and give timely feedback, which is convenient to drain the leaked water from the drinking water device 100, prevent the water level in the water receiving cavity from being too high, and thus effectively protect the drinking water device 100.

[0064] According to the drinking water device 100 of the second aspect embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the chassis 10 of the above first aspect, the water leaked from the drinking water device 100 can be collected in the water receiving cavity, avoiding the overflow of water flow, thereby effectively protecting the drinking water device 100. In addition, the surrounding rib 102 can improve the structural strength of the chassis 10 and increase the service life of the chassis 10. Moreover, the water receiving cavity is directly formed on the chassis 10, eliminating the need for an additional water receiving tray, reducing the number of components, occupying less space, and lowering the cost of the drinking water device 100. By providing a water leakage detection mechanism, the water level height in the first cavity can be effectively detected, thereby detecting whether the drinking water device 100 leaks and providing timely feedback.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the water leakage detection mechanism includes a probe. The probe is disposed on the upper side of the water receiving cavity, and the distance between the probe and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm. Specifically, the probe is disposed on the upper side of the first cavity. Further, the number of probes can be two. For example, the distance between the probe and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity can be 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm.

[0066] In a specific example, the number of probes is two. When the water level height in the first cavity is less than the distance between the probe and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity, the connection between the two probes is disconnected, and the water leakage detection mechanism does not work. When the water level height in the first cavity is greater than or equal to the distance between the probe and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity, the two probes are connected by the conductivity of the accumulated water in the first cavity, and the generated electrical signal is transmitted to the water leakage detection mechanism. At this time, the water leakage detection mechanism can detect the water level height in the first cavity.

[0067] Thus, by providing a probe in the water leakage detection mechanism and restricting the distance between the probe and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity to between 3 mm and 6 mm, not only can the water level height in the first cavity be effectively detected, but also the detection sensitivity can be flexibly adjusted according to different requirements, thereby expanding the applicable scenarios of the water leakage detection mechanism.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the drinking water device 100 further includes a reminder module. The reminder module is electrically connected to the water leakage detection mechanism, and the reminder module is configured to send a water leakage reminder message.

[0069] When the water level height in the first cavity is less than the distance between the probe and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity, the reminder module does not work. When the water level height in the first cavity is greater than or equal to the distance between the probe and the bottom wall of the water receiving cavity, the water leakage detection mechanism transmits a signal to the reminder module, and the reminder module can send a water leakage reminder message.

[0070] Thus, by providing a reminder module in the drinking water device 100, a water leakage reminder can be issued when the drinking water device 100 leaks, so as to effectively remind the user and further avoid further water leakage of the drinking water device 100.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, the drinking water device 100 is a water purifier, a water dispenser, or a water-using device with a heating function or a refrigeration function.
