[0066] Fig. 9 It is a cross-sectional view of the water outlet nozzle 300 of the present invention.

[0067] See also Figures 1 to 9 The drinking fountain 10 further includes a water outlet 300 connected to the end of the water outlet pipe 200 facing away from the water storage tank 100. The water outlet 300 includes a water outlet end and a water inlet end opposite to each other. The water inlet end of the water outlet 300 is sealedly connected to the water outlet pipe 200; the water outlet 300 is provided with a water outlet hole 340 penetrating therethrough, so that drinking water can pass through the water outlet pipe 200 and the water outlet hole 340 and be discharged from the water outlet end of the water outlet 300.

[0068] In this embodiment, the water outlet nozzle 300 is sleeved inside the water outlet pipe 200. In some embodiments, the water outlet nozzle 300 is sleeved outside the water outlet pipe 200.

[0069] A protruding water stop column 240 is formed in the water outlet pipe 200; the water stop column 240 extends in a straight line and is arranged in the water outlet hole 340; a flexible sealing pad 350 is sleeved on one end of the water stop column 240 facing away from the water outlet pipe 200. The water outlet pipe 200 can move relative to the water outlet pipe 200 along the extension direction of the water stop column 240, and can drive the water outlet nozzle 300 to move relative to the water stop column 240, so that the water outlet nozzle 300 can be switched between an open position and a closed position.

[0070] In the open position, the sealing gasket 350 is separated from the water spout 300 , so that drinking water can pass through the water outlet hole 340 and the water outlet end of the water spout 300 , thereby allowing drinking water to be discharged from the water outlet end of the water spout 300 for use by users.

[0071] In the closed position, the sealing gasket 350 is sealed against the water spout 300 to seal and close the water outlet hole 340. When the water spout 300 is accidentally touched, the flexible sealing gasket 350 undergoes elastic deformation, so that the sealing gasket 350 can buffer the movement of the water spout 300, thereby effectively preventing the sealing gasket 350 and the water spout 300 from separating and effectively preventing water leakage.

[0072] When the user accidentally touches the water dispenser 10 and causes the water spout 300 to move, the cushioning effect of the sealing pad 350 can effectively ensure that the water spout 300 will not open when the water spout 300 moves to a preset position.

[0073] The sealing gasket 350 is located outside the water outlet pipe 200 , which effectively prevents the sealing gasket 350 from being immersed in water for a long time, thereby effectively extending the service life of the sealing gasket 350 .

[0074] The sealing gasket 350 is detachably mounted on one end of the water stop column 240 , and the sealing gasket 350 is located outside the water outlet pipe 200 , thereby facilitating the removal of the sealing gasket 350 .

The partition 310 is a plate-like structure, and the edges of the partition 310 are connected to the inner side wall of the water outlet 300. The water outlet hole 340 penetrates the two side walls of the partition 310 along the circumference of the water outlet 300.

[0076] In this embodiment, the water outlet 300 includes a circumferential water outlet portion 320 and a limiting portion 330 protruding from the outer circumference of the water outlet portion 320 .

[0077] The water outlet portion 320 is sealedly connected to the water outlet pipe 200, and the partition plate 310 is disposed on the water outlet portion 320. The water outlet portion 320 is sealedly connected to the water guide section 220 of the water outlet pipe 200, so that drinking water can pass through the drain pipe 120, the water guide section 220 and the water outlet portion 320 in sequence, and be discharged from the end of the water outlet portion 320 facing away from the water outlet pipe 200 for use.

[0078] The limiting portion 330 is located at the periphery of the water outlet portion 320, and the limiting portion 330 is arranged around the water outlet portion 320. A protruding limiting wall 250 is formed on the periphery of the water outlet pipe 200, and the extension direction of the limiting wall 250 is parallel to the extension direction of the water stop column 240. The limiting portion 330 abuts against the limiting wall 250 along the radial direction of the water outlet pipe 200, so that the limiting portion 330 can move relative to the water outlet pipe 200 along the length direction of the water stop column 240, driving the water outlet nozzle 300 to move between the open position and the closed position.

[0079] In this embodiment, the outer end of the limiting portion 330 abuts against the limiting wall 250. In some embodiments, the inner side surface of the limiting portion 330 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the limiting wall 250.

[0080] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 330 includes an extension section 331 radially protruding from the outer periphery of the water outlet portion 320, and a top section 332 bent from one end of the extension section 331 away from the water outlet portion 320 and extending toward the water outlet pipe 200, and the outer periphery of the top section 332 abuts against the limiting wall 250.

[0081] In some embodiments, the inner periphery of the abutting section 332 is in contact with the outer periphery of the limiting wall 250 .

[0082] One end of the water outlet portion 320 facing the water outlet pipe 200 exceeds the extension section 331 , so that a step structure is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the water outlet pipe 200 and the side of the extension section 331 facing the water outlet pipe 200 .

[0086] In this embodiment, the water dispenser 10 also includes a first fixing ring 510 and a second fixing ring 520; the first fixing ring 510 surrounds the outer periphery of the sealing portion 260 on the water outlet pipe 200, and clamps one end of the sealing sleeve 400 between the sealing portion 260 and the first fixing ring 510 to seal the water outlet pipe 200 and the sealing sleeve 400.

[0087] The second fixing ring 520 surrounds the outer circumference of the water outlet 320, and clamps the other end of the sealing sleeve 400 between the second fixing ring 520 and the water outlet 320. The first fixing ring 510 and the second fixing ring 520 fix the two ends of the sealing sleeve 400, thereby ensuring the seal between the water outlet pipe 200 and the water outlet nozzle 300.

[0088] The two ends of the sealing sleeve 400 are respectively extended along the radial direction thereof to form clamping parts 410; one clamping part 410 is clamped between the side of the first fixing ring 510 facing the water outlet 300 and the water outlet 300; the other clamping part 410 is clamped between the side of the second fixing ring 520 facing away from the water outlet pipe 200 and the limiting part 330 to maintain the sealing performance of the sealing structure. Specifically, the clamping part 410 of the sealing sleeve 400 facing the water outlet pipe 200 is clamped on the step structure between the sealing part 260 and the water guide section 220. The clamping part 410 of the sealing sleeve 400 facing the water outlet 300 is clamped on the outer peripheral surface of the water outlet pipe 200 and the step structure between the extension section 331.
