Detailed implementation manners

[0029] Embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring 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.

[0030] Reference will be made below Figures 1-9 to describe a drinking water device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the drinking water device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a housing 1, a hot water tank assembly 2, and a filtering assembly 3.

[0032] Specifically, the drinking water device 100 has a heating function. An accommodation cavity is formed inside the housing 1. The hot water tank assembly 2 is disposed in the accommodation cavity. The hot water tank assembly 2 includes: a water pump 21 and a water tank 22. The water pump 21 is connected to the water tank 22. The water pump 21 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the water tank 22 and at the bottom of the water tank 22. The filtering assembly 3 is disposed in the accommodation cavity and at the upper part of the accommodation cavity. That is to say, an accommodation cavity is defined inside the housing 1. The hot water tank assembly 2 and the filtering assembly 3 are disposed in the accommodation cavity. The hot water tank assembly 2 includes a water pump 21 and a water tank 22. The water pump 21 is connected to the water tank 22. The water pump 21 is located at the bottom of the outer periphery of the water tank 22. The filtering assembly 3 is located in the upper space of the accommodation cavity. Quantitative water supply is achieved by the opening duration of the water pump 21, and constant-speed water supply is achieved by the impeller speed of the water pump 21, so as to achieve adjustable outlet water temperature.

[0033] For the drinking water device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model, by disposing the water pump 21 at the bottom of the outer periphery of the water tank 22, the efficient operation of the drinking water device 100 is ensured, the service life of the drinking water device 100 is extended, and moreover, the distance of the connecting pipeline between the water pump 21 and the water tank 22 is shortened, which helps to improve the efficiency of the water pump 21, reduce energy consumption, avoid idling and air inhalation, ensure continuous water flow, improve the use safety of the drinking water device 100, achieve quantitative water supply by the opening duration of the water pump 21, and achieve constant-speed water supply by the impeller speed of the water pump 21, so as to achieve adjustable outlet water temperature.

[0034] It should be noted here that the drinking water device 100 may be a water purifier, a water dispenser, or a water-using device with a heating function or a refrigerating function (such as a combination water purifier and water heater), but is not limited thereto.

[0035] During the operation of the drinking water device 100, water from the external water circuit enters the filtration assembly 3 from the water inlet end of the water inlet module. The filtration assembly 3 purifies the water. The water purified by the filtration assembly 3 can flow directly from the first pipeline 9 to the faucet 8. The water purified by the filtration assembly 3 can also enter the tank body 22 of the hot water tank assembly 2 through the second pipeline 10. The hot water tank assembly 2 heats the water. The heated water can flow into the faucet 8 through the third pipeline 101. In this way, during use, the user can connect the first pipeline 9 to the faucet 8 to discharge the purified normal-temperature water from the faucet 8, or connect the third pipeline 101 to the faucet 8 to discharge the heated purified water from the faucet 8. It is also possible that both the first pipeline 9 and the third pipeline 101 are connected to the faucet 8, and the purified normal-temperature water is mixed with the heated purified water to discharge warm water with a temperature between the normal temperature and the hot water temperature from the faucet 8.

[0036] Furthermore, the top of the water pump 21 is not higher than the top of the tank body 22. It should be noted that if the top of the water pump 21 is higher than the top of the tank body 22, when the liquid level in the tank body 22 drops, the water pump 21 may inhale air, resulting in the "air lock" phenomenon, that is, the air blocks the suction port of the water pump 21, making the water pump 21 unable to pump water normally. Keeping the top of the water pump 21 lower than the top of the tank body 22 can avoid this situation and ensure that the water pump 21 can always inhale liquid. Moreover, during the heating process, hot water will rise naturally, while colder water will sink, that is, the water temperature in the upper part of the tank body 22 is higher than the water temperature in the lower part of the tank body 22. Placing the water pump 21 at the bottom of the tank body 22 helps to utilize this natural convection effect and promote the effective circulation of the liquid in the tank body 22, thereby improving the heating efficiency and uniformity.

[0037] Even further, a heating chamber is formed in the tank body 22, and the water level in the heating chamber has a lowest water level. When the water level in the heating chamber is at the lowest water level, the liquid level in the heating chamber is higher than the highest position of the impeller of the water pump 21. That is to say, when the water level in the heating chamber is lower than the highest position of the impeller of the water pump 21, the water pump 21 may start to pump in air instead of water. Without sufficient water for cooling, the electric heating element and the water pump 21 may overheat, which will not only damage the equipment but also may cause safety problems such as fire or explosion. The water level in the heating chamber being higher than the highest position of the impeller of the water pump 21 can effectively prevent dry burning, ensure the normal operation of the water pump 21, and extend the service life of the hot water tank assembly 2.

[0038] In some embodiments, the hot water tank assembly 2 is provided with a water level detector. When the water level detector detects that the water level in the heating chamber is lower than the preset lowest safety water level, the drinking water device 100 will automatically turn off the heating element 24 and / or the water pump 21, thereby avoiding the occurrence of dry burning or explosion.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the filtration assembly 3 includes: a first filter element 31 and a second filter element 32. The first filter element 31 and the second filter element 32 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the axes of both the first filter element 31 and the second filter element 32 are arranged in the horizontal direction. Specifically, the horizontally arranged first filter element 31 and second filter element 32 can save vertical space. Especially when the upper space of the accommodation cavity is limited, the axes of the first filter element 31 and the second filter element 32 being arranged in the horizontal direction can enable the filtration assembly 3 to occupy less height, thereby leaving more installation space for other components. Moreover, the adjacent arrangement of the first filter element 31 and the second filter element 32 allows the water flow to directly flow to the adjacent second filter element 32 for secondary filtration after the preliminary filtration by the first filter element 31. The continuous horizontal flow path reduces the fluid resistance and improves the filtration efficiency. For horizontally arranged filter elements, the uniformity of water flow distribution may also need to be considered to ensure that all filter element areas can be fully utilized and avoid local overload.

[0040] Preferably, one of the first filter element 31 and the second filter element 32 is a RO filter element (filtering organic impurities such as bacteria, viruses, and heavy metals in water), and the other of the first filter element 31 and the second filter element 32 is a PCB filter element (filtering solid impurities such as suspended particles, sediment, and rust in water and adsorbing some organic substances to a certain extent).

[0041] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, the drinking water device 100 further includes: a booster pump 4. The connection between the booster pump 4 and the filtration assembly 3 and its positional relationship are crucial for ensuring the effective operation of the entire drinking water device 100. The booster pump 4 is connected to the filtration assembly 3 and is located below the filtration assembly 3. The booster pump 4 is used to drive water to flow from the filtration assembly 3 into the tank body 22. Since the resistance of water passing through the RO filter element is relatively large and a higher pressure is required to effectively filter the impurities in the water, the setting of the booster pump 4 increases the water pressure to ensure that the water purified by the filtration assembly 3 can overcome the resistance of the RO membrane and stably flow into the tank body 22, and it can also effectively filter in the case of low water pressure.

[0042] Furthermore, setting the booster pump 4 below the filtration assembly 3 can utilize the gravity of the water itself to assist the water flow towards the direction of the pump, reducing the burden when the pump starts. At the same time, it also simplifies the water circuit layout, reduces the internal structure complexity of the drinking water device 100, and can save installation space and facilitate daily maintenance.

[0043] In some embodiments, a valve is provided between the booster pump 4 and the filtration assembly 3 to control the direction and speed of the water flow.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1As shown, the housing 1 includes a first side plate 13 and a bottom plate 11. A hot water outlet 131 is formed on the first side plate 13. The water pump 21 and the booster pump 4 are both provided on the bottom plate 11. The water tank 22 is communicated with the hot water outlet 131 through a hot water flow path. The hot water tank assembly 2 further includes: a flow detection member 25, which is provided in the hot water flow path and is used to monitor the hot water flow rate passing through the flow path in real time. Specifically, the first side plate 13 is provided at the front of the drinking water device 100, the hot water outlet 131 is provided on the first side plate 13, and a flow detection member 25 and a water outlet valve are provided on the hot water flow path to monitor the hot water flow rate and control the water flow in real time. Thus, the overall structure is simple and the design is ingenious.

[0045] Here, the flow detection member 25 can be an electromagnetic flowmeter, a turbine flowmeter, an ultrasonic flowmeter, etc. The monitoring data of the flow detection member 25 can be used to control the working state of the system, such as adjusting the heating rate or the speed of the water pump 21 to maintain a constant hot water output.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the rotation speed of the water pump 21 is adjustable, and the rotation speed of the booster pump 4 is adjustable. That is to say, the water pump 21 and the booster pump 4 can dynamically adjust their rotation speeds according to actual needs. For example, when the water consumption is large, increase the rotation speed of the water pump 21 and / or the booster pump 4 to meet higher water pressure or flow rate requirements. When the water consumption is small, reduce the rotation speed to reduce energy consumption. Moreover, running at a lower rotation speed can reduce mechanical wear, extend the service life of the pump, and reduce the noise level during equipment operation without affecting performance; or, adjust the proportion of the output hot water by adjusting the rotation speed of the water pump 21 to obtain hot water at different temperatures.

[0047] Furthermore, a variable frequency control board 41 is provided adjacent to the booster pump 4 to achieve speed regulation.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the hot water tank assembly 2 further includes a heating element 24 and a heating control element 23. The heating element 24 is connected to the tank body 22 and is located above the water pump 21. The heating element 24 is used to heat the pure water in the tank body 22. The heating control element 23 is electrically connected to the heating element 24. The heating control element 23 and the heating element 24 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction and are adjacent to the booster pump 4. Specifically, the connection of the heating element 24 to the tank body 22 and its location above the water pump 21 are conducive to heat transfer. Since hot air or hot water rises naturally, the heating element 24 above the water pump 21 can make better use of this natural convection phenomenon, enabling the water in the tank body 22 to be heated faster and more evenly. The heating control element 23 and the heating element 24 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. Such a design can prevent the heat generated by the heating element 24 from directly affecting the electronic components of the heating control element 23 and prevent damage caused by overheating. At the same time, the arrangement adjacent to the booster pump 4 may help save space, optimize the internal layout of the device, and facilitate maintenance and repair.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the drinking water device 100 further includes a power adapter 5. The power adapter 5 is arranged adjacent to the heating control element 23 and is located on the side of the heating control element 23 away from the hot water tank. It can be understood that placing the power adapter 5 in a position away from the heat source helps prevent electrical components from being damaged due to overheating or causing safety hazards. The hot water tank assembly 2 generates heat during operation, while the power adapter 5 generally needs to work at a relatively stable temperature to ensure its long-term reliability and efficiency. Moreover, the power adapter 5 generates an electromagnetic field during operation. If it is too close to the heating control element 23 or sensitive electronic components, it may cause electromagnetic interference (EMI). By separating them, the impact on the control circuit can be reduced, ensuring the stable operation of the system. Additionally, such a layout is reasonable and saves space, facilitating replacement or repair.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the drinking water device 100 further includes a display assembly 6. The housing 1 has a second side plate 14. The display assembly 6 is arranged on the second side plate 14 and is adjacent to and spaced from the booster pump 4. In this way, it is convenient for observation and operation. Moreover, the display assembly 6 usually includes electronic components and a screen, which may be sensitive to electromagnetic interference. Spacing the display assembly 6 from the booster pump 4 can reduce the electromagnetic interference generated by the pump motor, ensure the accuracy of the display information and the stability of the system. Furthermore, the booster pump 4 generates heat during operation, and the spaced arrangement can also prevent the display assembly 6 from being overly affected by heat, extending the service life of the display assembly 6.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-9As shown, the outer shell 1 further includes a top plate 12, a third side plate 15 and a fourth side plate 16. The first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, the third side plate 15 and the fourth side plate 16 are all connected between the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 11, and the first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15 are arranged adjacent to each other. The first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15 are detachably connected. The bottom plate 11, the top plate 12, the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, the third side plate 15 and the fourth side plate 16 define an accommodation cavity. Specifically, when disassembling the housing, first disassemble the first side plate 13, and then disassemble the third side plate 15, and the disassembly of the outer shell 1 is completed, so that the internal structure of the outer shell 1 can be overhauled.

[0052] By providing the detachable first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15, after disassembling the first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15, the internal structure of the outer shell 1 can be overhauled, so that the overhaul of the drinking water device 100 can be facilitated. At the same time, it can be ensured that all the internal structures of the outer shell 1 can be exposed from the open side of the disassembled outer shell 1, so that there is no need to adjust the position of the outer shell 1 to repair a certain internal structure of the outer shell 1, thereby saving the time for overhauling the drinking water device 100 and improving the overhaul efficiency. In addition, the overhaul operation space can be increased, effectively preventing the difficulty of overhaul caused by the narrow operation space, thereby further improving the overhaul efficiency.

[0053] Specifically, one of the outer shell 1 and the first side plate 13 is formed with a first card hole and the other is formed with a first card convex adapted to the first card hole. That is to say, the first card hole can be formed on the outer shell 1 and the first card convex adapted to the first card hole can be formed on the first side plate 13, or the first card hole can be formed on the first side plate 13 and the first card convex adapted to the first card hole can be formed on the outer shell 1. The first card convex is snapped into the first card hole. In this way, the structure of the cooperation between the first card hole and the first card convex is simple and convenient to operate, so that the installation and disassembly efficiency of the first side plate 13 and the outer shell 1 can be improved. At the same time, the structure of the first card hole and the first card convex is simple, which is convenient for the processing of the first side plate 13 and the outer shell 1, thereby reducing the processing difficulty and saving the processing time.

[0054] One of the first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15 is formed with a second card hole and the other is formed with a second card convex adapted to the second card hole. That is to say, the second card hole can be formed on the first side plate 13 and the second card convex can be formed on the third side plate 15, or the second card hole can be formed on the third side plate 15 and the second card convex can be formed on the first side plate 13. The second card convex is snapped into the second card hole. In this way, the structure of the cooperation between the second card hole and the second card convex is simple and convenient to operate, so that the installation and disassembly efficiency of the first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15 can be improved. At the same time, the structure of the second card hole and the second card convex is simple, which is convenient for the processing of the first side plate 13 and the second side plate 14, thereby reducing the processing difficulty and saving the processing time.

[0055] Next, reference will be made to Figures 1-9 to describe a drinking water device 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present utility model.

[0056] Referring to Figure 1 , the drinking water device 100 includes: a housing 1, a hot water tank assembly 2, a filtration assembly 3, a booster pump 4, a power adapter 5, a display assembly 6, and a water circuit board assembly 7.

[0057] Specifically, as Figures 1-9 shown, an accommodation cavity is defined inside the housing 1, and the hot water tank assembly 2 and the filtration assembly 3 are arranged inside the accommodation cavity. The hot water tank assembly 2 includes a water extraction pump 21 and a tank body 22. The water extraction pump 21 is connected to the tank body 22, and the water extraction pump 21 is located at the bottom of the outer periphery of the tank body 22. The filtration assembly 3 is located in the upper space of the accommodation cavity. Quantitative water supply is achieved by the opening duration of the water extraction pump 21, and constant-speed water supply is achieved by the impeller rotation speed of the water extraction pump 21, so as to achieve adjustable outlet water temperature. The top of the water extraction pump 21 is not higher than the top of the tank body 22. The water circuit board assembly 7 is arranged above the tank body 22 and is spaced from the filtration assembly 3 in the horizontal direction.

[0058] A heating cavity is formed inside the tank body 22, and the water level in the heating cavity has a lowest water level. When the water level in the heating cavity is at the lowest water level, the liquid level in the heating cavity is higher than the highest position of the impeller of the water extraction pump 21. That is to say, when the water level in the heating cavity is lower than the highest position of the impeller of the water extraction pump 21, the water extraction pump 21 may start to pump in air instead of water. Without sufficient water for cooling, the electric heating element and the water extraction pump 21 may overheat, which will not only damage the device, but also may cause safety problems such as fire or explosion. The water level in the heating cavity being higher than the highest position of the impeller of the water extraction pump 21 can effectively prevent dry burning, ensure the normal operation of the water extraction pump 21, and extend the service life of the hot water tank assembly 2. The hot water tank assembly 2 is provided with a water level detector. When the water level detector detects that the water level in the heating cavity is lower than the preset lowest safety water level, the drinking water device 100 will automatically turn off the heating element 24 and / or the water extraction pump 21, thereby avoiding the occurrence of dry burning or explosion.

[0059] The filtration assembly 3 includes: a first filter element 31 and a second filter element 32. The first filter element 31 and the second filter element 32 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the axes of the first filter element 31 and the second filter element 32 are both arranged along the horizontal direction. Among them, the first filter element 31 is a RO filter element, and the second filter element 32 is a PCB filter element.

[0060] The connection between the booster pump 4 and the filtration assembly 3 and its positional relationship are crucial for ensuring the effective operation of the entire drinking water device 100. The booster pump 4 is connected to the filtration assembly 3 and is located below the filtration assembly 3. The booster pump 4 is used to drive water to flow from the filtration assembly 3 into the tank body 22.

[0061] The housing 1 includes a first side plate 13 and a bottom plate 11. A hot water outlet 131 is formed on the first side plate 13. The water pump 21 and the booster pump 4 are both arranged on the bottom plate 11. The water tank 22 is communicated with the hot water outlet 131 through a hot water flow path. The flow detection member 25 is arranged in the hot water flow path for monitoring the hot water flow rate through the flow path in real time. The heating member 24 is connected to the water tank 22 and is located above the water pump 21. The heating member 24 is used for heating the pure water in the water tank 22. The heating control member 23 is electrically connected to the heating member 24. The heating control member 23 and the heating member 24 are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction and are adjacent to the booster pump 4.

[0062] The rotation speed of the water pump 21 is adjustable, and the rotation speed of the booster pump 4 is adjustable.

[0063] Placing the power adapter 5 in a position away from the heat source helps prevent damage to electrical components due to overheating or causing safety hazards. The housing 1 has a second side plate 14. The display component 6 is arranged on the second side plate 14 and is adjacent to and spaced from the booster pump 4. In this way, it is convenient for observation and operation. And the display component 6 usually includes electronic components and a screen, which may be sensitive to electromagnetic interference.

[0064] The housing 1 further includes a top plate 12, a third side plate 15 and a fourth side plate 16. The first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, the third side plate 15 and the fourth side plate 16 are all connected between the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 11. And the first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15 are adjacent to each other. The first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15 are detachably connected. The bottom plate 11, the top plate 12, the first side plate 13, the second side plate 14, the third side plate 15 and the fourth side plate 16 define a receiving cavity. Specifically, when disassembling the housing, first disassemble the first side plate 13, and then disassemble the third side plate 15. The disassembly of the housing 1 is completed, so that the internal structure of the housing 1 can be overhauled.

[0065] By providing the detachable first side plate 13 and third side plate 15, after disassembling the first side plate 13 and the third side plate 15, the internal structure of the housing 1 can be overhauled. Thus, the overhaul of the drinking water device 100 can be facilitated. At the same time, it can be ensured that all the internal structures of the housing 1 can be exposed from the open side of the disassembled housing 1, so that there is no need to adjust the position of the housing 1 to repair a certain internal structure of the housing 1. Furthermore, the time for overhauling the drinking water device 100 can be saved and the overhaul efficiency can be improved.

[0066] During the operation of the drinking water device 100, water from the external water circuit enters the filtering component 3 from the water inlet end of the water inlet module. The filtering component 3 purifies the water. The water purified by the filtering component 3 can directly flow from the first pipeline 9 to the faucet 8. The water purified by the filtering component 3 can also enter the tank body 22 of the hot water tank component 2 from the second pipeline 10. The hot water tank component 2 heats the water, and the heated water can flow into the faucet 8 from the third pipeline 101. In this way, during use, the user can connect the first pipeline 9 to the faucet 8 to discharge the purified normal-temperature water from the faucet 8, or connect the third pipeline 101 to the faucet 8 to discharge the heated purified water from the faucet 8. It is also possible that both the first pipeline 9 and the third pipeline 101 are connected to the faucet 8, and the purified normal-temperature water is mixed with the heated purified water to discharge warm water with a temperature between the normal temperature and the hot water temperature from the faucet 8.
