[0041] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0042] Next, referring to the drawings, a drinking water device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the drinking water device 100 can be installed in an embedded manner, for example, the drinking water device 100 is embedded in a counter.

[0043] As Figures 1 - 11 shown, the drinking water device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 1, a refrigeration module 2, a heat dissipation fan 3 and a seal 4. The housing 1 has a mounting wall 11, and an air outlet 111 is formed in the mounting wall 11; the refrigeration module 2 includes a condenser 21; the heat dissipation fan 3 is installed in the housing 1 and is located at the air outlet 111. The heat dissipation fan 3 is used to convey the air flow at the condenser 21 towards the air outlet 111, and the seal 4 is distributed around the heat dissipation fan 3 and is hermetically pressed against the circumferential edge of the air outlet 111.

[0044] Thus, the gap between the heat dissipation fan 3 and the circumferential edge of the air outlet 111 can be sealed to prevent the heat discharged outside the housing 1 from flowing back through this gap, which is beneficial to ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the drinking water device 100 and improving the refrigeration effect of the drinking water device 100.

[0045] First, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, the drinking water device 100 includes a housing 1 and a refrigeration module 2. An accommodation cavity is provided inside the housing 1, and the refrigeration module 2 is installed in the accommodation cavity. The housing 1 has a mounting wall 11, and the housing 1 is fixed through the mounting wall 11. The mounting wall 11 is formed with an air outlet 111, and the air outlet 111 communicates with the accommodation cavity.

[0046] The refrigeration module 2 is used to make ice water and ice cubes. The refrigeration module 2 is provided with a condenser 21, and the condenser 21 is disposed opposite to the air outlet 111. The condenser 21 is used to dissipate the heat generated during the operation of the refrigeration module 2, so that the heat can be discharged from the air outlet 111 to the outside of the housing 1, and thus the refrigeration module 2 can work properly.

[0047] At the same time, it can be set that the drinking water device 100 further includes a heat dissipation fan 3. The heat dissipation fan 3 is installed inside the housing 1 and is located at the air outlet 111. The air outlet side of the heat dissipation fan 3 faces the air outlet 111 and the air inlet side faces the condenser 21. The heat dissipation fan 3 is used to convey the air flow at the condenser 21 towards the air outlet 111 to quickly discharge the heat in the accommodation cavity to the outside of the housing 1.

[0048] Among them, it can be set that the drinking water device 100 further includes a seal 4. The seal 4 can be made of elastic materials such as rubber and closed foam. The seal 4 is distributed around the heat dissipation fan 3 and seals and presses against the circumferential edge of the air outlet 111. The seal 4 is used to seal the gap between the heat dissipation fan 3 and the air outlet 111. Thus, it can be avoided that the heat flows back into the accommodation cavity through the gap between the heat dissipation fan 3 and the circumferential edge of the air outlet 111, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation capacity of the condenser 21 and improving the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration module 2.

[0049] For the drinking water device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a seal 4 between the heat dissipation fan 3 and the circumferential edge of the air outlet 111, the gap between the heat dissipation fan 3 and the circumferential edge of the air outlet 111 can be sealed to prevent the heat discharged outside the housing 1 from flowing back through this gap, which is beneficial to ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the drinking water device 100 and improving the refrigeration effect of the drinking water device 100.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the seal 4 includes an annular mounting portion 41 and a sealing flange 42. The annular mounting portion 41 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the heat dissipation fan 3. The sealing flange 42 is connected to the annular mounting portion 41 and is disposed around the air outlet 111 and presses against the circumferential edge of the air outlet 111.

[0051] For example, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the seal 4 includes an annular mounting portion 41 and a sealing flange 42. The annular mounting portion 41 is arranged to match the heat dissipation fan 3 and is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the heat dissipation fan 3 to fixedly connect the seal 4 and the heat dissipation fan 3. The sealing flange 42 is connected to the edge of the annular mounting portion 41 and protrudes towards the mounting wall 11. The sealing flange 42 is disposed around the air outlet 111 and is used to press against the circumferential edge of the air outlet 111 to eliminate the fitting gap between the heat dissipation fan 3 and the air outlet 111. Thus, the sealing effect of the seal 4 can be improved.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, the seal 4 further forms a connecting portion 43. The connecting portion 43 is detachably connected to the heat dissipation fan 3 and / or the condenser 21 through a connecting member. It should be noted that the connecting member can be a screw, a bolt, etc. The connecting member is used to penetrate the connecting portion 43 to detachably connect the seal 4 and the heat dissipation fan 3 (and / or the condenser 21).

[0053] Exemplarily, the connecting portion 43 can be connected to the heat dissipation fan 3 through a connecting member; or, the connecting portion 43 can be connected to the condenser 21 through a connecting member; or, the connecting portion 43 can be connected to both the heat dissipation fan 3 and the condenser 21 through a connecting member. The present utility model does not limit this. Thus, the installation stability of the seal 4 can be improved, and the sealing effect of the seal 4 is ensured.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the connecting portion 43 forms a first connecting hole 431, the heat dissipation fan 3 is provided with a second connecting hole 312, and the condenser 21 is provided with a third connecting hole 215. The first connecting hole 431, the second connecting hole 312, and the third connecting hole 215 are used to sequentially penetrate the connecting member.

[0055] For example, referring to Figures 4 - 6As shown, the connecting portion 43 is located on the side of the cooling fan 3 away from the condenser 21. The connecting portion 43 is formed with a first connecting hole 431. The cooling fan 3 is provided with a through second connecting hole 312. The condenser 21 is provided with a third connecting hole 215. The first connecting hole 431, the second connecting hole 312, and the third connecting hole 215 are aligned. The connecting piece can be sequentially passed through the first connecting hole 431, the second connecting hole 312, and the third connecting hole 215 to connect the seal 4, the cooling fan 3, and the condenser 21 into one body. Thus, the structural complexity of the drinking water device 100 can be reduced, which is conducive to reducing the assembly difficulty and improving the practicability of the drinking water device 100.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, there are multiple connecting portions 43, and the multiple connecting portions 43 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the annular mounting portion 41, so that the multiple connecting portions 43 can limit the seal 4 from different positions. Thus, the installation stability and installation accuracy of the seal 4 can be improved, which is conducive to eliminating the fitting gap and improving the sealing effect of the seal 4.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 shown, the annular mounting portion 41 can be configured as a rectangular ring, and at least one inner corner of the annular mounting portion 41 can be formed with a connecting portion 43. Exemplarily, connecting portions 43 can be formed on the inner sides of two corners at diagonal positions in the annular mounting portion 41. Through the above settings, the seal 4 can be more easily positioned, which is conducive to reducing the installation difficulty of the seal 4.

[0058] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited thereto, and the annular mounting portion 41 can also be configured as a pentagon, a hexagon or other polygonal structures.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 3 - 4 shown, connecting portions 43 can be formed at all four corners of the annular mounting portion 41. The inner edge of each connecting portion 43 is configured as an arc edge, and the arc edges of the four connecting portions 43 are located on the same circle. The arc edge of the connecting portion 43 is used to be tangent to the contour of the following wind wheel 32, so that the seal 4 can effectively avoid the air outlet side of the cooling fan 3. Through the above settings, interference of the seal 4 to the cooling fan 3 can be avoided, and the working stability of the cooling fan 3 is improved.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the drinking water device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model further includes a mesh filter member 5. The mesh filter member 5 is installed on a side of the heat dissipation fan 3 close to the air outlet 111. The mesh filter member 5 is aligned with the air outlet 111, and the mesh filter member 5 is used to filter the air outlet 111. Wherein, a fixing portion 51 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the mesh filter member 5. The fixing portion 51 protrudes outward, and the fixing portion 51 is used to be clamped between the connecting portion 43 and the heat dissipation fan 3 to connect the mesh filter member 5 and the heat dissipation fan 3 into one body.

[0061] Through the above arrangement, it is possible to prevent sundries (such as cockroaches, mice, etc.) from contacting the heat dissipation fan 3 through the air outlet 111, which is beneficial to improving the working stability of the heat dissipation fan 3 and enhancing the reliability of the drinking water device 100.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present utility model, at least a part of the sealing flange 42 is configured as an arc-shaped avoidance section 421. The arc-shaped avoidance section 421 protrudes outward relative to the sealing flange 42, and the arc-shaped avoidance section 421 is used to avoid the outer peripheral part of the mesh filter member 5.

[0063] For example, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, an arc-shaped avoidance section 421 can be provided in the middle of one side edge of the sealing flange 42. The arc-shaped avoidance section 421 protrudes outward relative to the sealing flange 42. The mesh filter member 5 is configured as a circle, and the arc-shaped avoidance section 421 is used to avoid the outer peripheral part of the mesh filter member 5, so that the edge of the mesh filter member 5 can extend beyond the outer edge of the heat dissipation fan 3. Thus, the mesh filter member 5 can completely cover the air outlet side of the heat dissipation fan 3, ensuring the filtering effect of the mesh filter member 5.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the connecting portion 43 can be provided in multiple numbers, and the fixing portion 51 can be provided in multiple numbers. The multiple connecting portions 43 and the multiple fixing portions 51 are in one-to-one correspondence and cooperation. Through the above arrangement, the installation stability of the mesh filter member 5 can be improved, and it is beneficial to eliminate the fitting gap between the mesh filter member 5 and the heat dissipation fan 3, improving the filtering effect of the mesh filter member 5.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in Figure 6As shown in the figure, the cooling fan 3 includes a housing 31 and a wind wheel 32. A through wind cavity 311 is formed inside the housing 31. The wind cavity 311 is directly opposite to and communicated with the air outlet 111. The wind wheel 32 is rotatably installed in the wind cavity 311. When the wind wheel 32 rotates, the wind wheel 32 can drive the air flow at the condenser 21 to flow along the wind cavity 311 and flow out from the air outlet 111. A seal 4 is arranged around the housing 31, and the seal 4 is used for sealingly cooperating with the circumferential edge of the housing 31 and the circumferential edge of the air outlet 111 respectively to close the gap between the housing 31 and the air outlet 111. Thus, the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration module 2 can be guaranteed.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the rear side wall of the housing 1 can be configured as an installation wall 11. Through the above setting, the housing 1 can be more easily installed, the assembly difficulty of the drinking water device 100 is reduced, and it can be avoided that the air outlet 111 blows hot air to the front side of the drinking water device 100, causing discomfort to the user, and the practicability of the drinking water device 100 is improved.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the condenser 21 includes a refrigerant pipe 211 and two connecting side plates 212. The refrigerant pipe 211 passes through the two connecting side plates 212 in sequence, and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 213 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the refrigerant pipe 211; wherein, the connecting side plate 212 is provided with a connecting flange 214, and the seal 4, the cooling fan 3 and the connecting flange 214 are sequentially connected through connecting pieces.

[0068] For example, referring to Figures 4 - 5 shown, the condenser 21 includes a refrigerant pipe 211 and two connecting side plates 212. The two connecting side plates 212 are arranged in parallel at intervals in the left-right direction. The refrigerant pipe 211 has a plurality of sub-pipe segments 2111. The plurality of sub-pipe segments 2111 are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction. The sub-pipe segments 2111 extend in the left-right direction and the ends penetrate through the corresponding connecting side plates 212. One of the plurality of sub-pipe segments 2111 located in the middle is connected to the same end of the adjacent sub-pipe segment 2111 through a transition section 2112, and the other end is connected to the same end of the other adjacent sub-pipe segment 2111 through a transition section 2112, so as to configure the refrigerant pipe 211 into a shape similar to an S shape, and further enable the refrigerant pipe 211 to pass through the two connecting side plates 212 in sequence along the length direction.

[0069] At the same time, a plurality of heat dissipation fins 213 can be arranged on the outer side of the refrigerant pipe 211. The plurality of heat dissipation fins 213 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction and are respectively connected to the refrigerant pipe 211, so that the refrigerant pipe 211 can dissipate heat outward through the heat dissipation fins 213.

[0070] Wherein, connection flanges 214 can be provided at the upper and lower ends of the connection side plates 212. The connection flanges 214 extend to the side of the heat dissipation fan 3 away from the air outlet 111. The seal 4 is provided with a connection portion 43, and the connection portion 43 extends to the side of the heat dissipation fan 3 facing the air outlet 111. The connecting member can sequentially penetrate through the connection portion 43, the heat dissipation fan 3, and the connection flanges 214 to fix the seal 4, the heat dissipation fan 3, and the condenser 21 together.

[0071] It can be understood that by arranging the refrigerant pipes 211 to pass through the two connection side plates 212 in sequence, and heat dissipation fins 213 are arranged on the outer side of the refrigerant pipes 211, the heat dissipation area of the condenser 21 can be increased, the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved, and thus the refrigeration efficiency of the drinking water device 100 can be improved. In addition, by connecting the seal 4, the heat dissipation fan 3, and the condenser 21 together, the installation stability of the seal 4 can be improved, and the assembly difficulty of the drinking water device 100 can be reduced.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the refrigeration module 2 further includes a compressor and an evaporator. The compressor, the evaporator, and the condenser 21 are sequentially connected in series and are circulated with refrigerant. The refrigerant can be R134a, etc. In the specific working process, the compressor can send the compressed refrigerant into the condenser 21. The compressed refrigerant releases heat in the condenser 21. After releasing heat, the refrigerant flows into the evaporator through the throttling member. The refrigerant expands and absorbs heat in the evaporator to achieve refrigeration. After absorbing heat, the refrigerant flows back into the compressor to achieve circulation. Thus, the refrigeration module 2 can work stably.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the drinking water device 100 according to the embodiments of the present utility model further includes an ice making module 6. The ice making module 6 includes an ice making bin 61. An ice making water box 62 is provided in the ice making bin 61. The evaporator is connected with ice making fingers 63, and at least a part of the ice making fingers 63 extends into the ice making water box 62.

[0074] For example, with reference to Figures 8 - 11 As shown, the drinking water device 100 further includes an ice making module 6. The ice making module 6 includes an ice making bin 61, an ice making water box 62, and ice making fingers 63. An ice making space 611 is formed in the ice making bin 61. The ice making water box 62 is rotatably installed in the ice making space 611. The ice making water box 62 is formed with an ice making groove 621 that is open upward. The ice making bin 61 is provided with a water inlet 612. The water inlet 612 is disposed opposite to and communicated with the ice making groove 621. The water inlet 612 is adapted to supply water into the ice making groove 621.

[0075] The evaporator is connected to the ice-making finger 63, and at least a part of the ice-making finger 63 extends into the ice-making tank 621. The evaporator can cool the cold water in the ice-making tank 621 to make ice. An overflow port is provided on the side wall of the ice-making water box 62, and the overflow port is communicated with the ice-making tank 621. When the water level in the ice-making tank 621 exceeds the preset water level, the excess cold water can flow out of the ice-making tank 621 through the overflow port.

[0076] Meanwhile, the ice-making module 6 is also provided with a cold water storage tank 64. The cold water storage tank 64 is located below the ice-making chamber 61 and communicated with the ice-making space 611. The cold water storage tank 64 is used for storing cold water. When the cold water in the ice-making tank 621 overflows from the ice-making tank 621, the cold water can flow downward into the cold water storage tank 64. The cold water storage tank 64 can also be communicated with the water inlet 612 through a water supply pipeline 85, so that the cold water storage tank 64 can supply water into the ice-making tank 621 through the water inlet 612.

[0077] In the specific working process, when the ice-making module 6 starts to operate, the cold water in the cold water storage tank 64 can flow into the ice-making tank 621 through the water inlet 612. The ice-making finger 63 can cool the cold water in the ice-making tank 621, so that ice blocks are formed on the surface of the ice-making finger 63. As the cold water continuously flows into the ice-making tank 621, the water level in the ice-making tank 621 exceeds the preset water level, and the cold water can flow into the cold water storage tank 64 through the overflow port, and the water temperature in the cold water storage tank 64 decreases accordingly. When there is enough ice in the ice-making tank 621, the ice-making water box 62 can be rotated to pour the ice in the ice-making tank 621 into the ice storage structure. At this time, the cold water in the ice-making tank 621 can fall into the cold water storage tank 64.

[0078] Through the above settings, the ice-making module 6 can make ice and ice water simultaneously, so that the drinking water device 100 can stably supply ice and ice water, improving the practicability of the drinking water device 100.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the drinking water device 100 has an ice-making module 6, and the ice-making module 6 can generate cold water and ice. Among them, a water receiving cavity 12 can be formed on the front side of the housing 1. The water receiving cavity 12 is open forward, and a water receiving port and / or an ice receiving port are formed in the water receiving cavity 12. Exemplarily, a water receiving port can be provided in the water receiving cavity 12 for supplying water outward; or, an ice receiving port can be provided in the water receiving cavity 12 for supplying ice outward; or, a water receiving port and an ice receiving port can be respectively provided in the water receiving cavity 12, so that the water receiving cavity 12 can supply water and ice outward. The present invention does not limit this.
