[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, A base assembly 100 provided by an embodiment of the present utility model is used for a water treatment device 200. The base assembly 100 includes a base 12 and a drain plug 14. A water storage tank 16 and a drain hole 18 are provided on the base 12. The drain plug 14 is detachably plugged in the drain hole 18, and when the drain plug 14 is removed from the drain hole 18, the drain hole 18 communicates with the water storage tank 16.
[0037] In the above base assembly 100, a drain hole 18 and a water storage tank 16 are provided on the base 12, and the drain plug 14 is detachably plugged in the drain hole 18. When the water storage tank 16 stores water due to leakage of the water treatment device 200, without disassembling the machine, relevant personnel can remove the drain plug 14, thereby opening the drain hole 18 to drain the water in the water storage tank 16 out of the base 12. To a certain extent, it can make the drainage of the base assembly 100 faster and simpler for maintenance.
[0038] Specifically, there are various types of water treatment devices 200. In one embodiment, the water treatment device 200 can be a water dispenser, which can have functions such as ice-making, normal-temperature water supply, hot water supply, and cold water supply, or the water dispenser can have ice-making and cold water supply functions. The form of the water dispenser can be a tabletop water dispenser, a floor-standing water dispenser, an embedded water dispenser, a pipeline water dispenser, etc. In one embodiment, the water treatment device 200 can be a water purifier. The water purifier can have a water purification function, and on the basis of the water purification function, it can also have functions such as ice-making, normal-temperature water supply, hot water supply, and cold water supply, or it can also have ice-making and cold water supply functions. The form of the water purifier can be a tabletop water purifier, a floor-standing water purifier, an embedded water purifier, a pipeline water purifier, etc. In other embodiments, the water treatment device 200 can include, but is not limited to, devices such as coffee machines, tea machines, and sparkling water machines, thus enriching the functions.
[0039] Optionally, the water treatment device 200 further includes functional components such as a water purification tank, a cold water tank, a refrigeration component, an ice-making component, a main control board, and an instant heating component. Please refer to Figure 2 , These functional components can be installed in the middle, rear, left, and right parts above the base assembly 100. Optionally, the water treatment device 200 further includes a front shell assembly 20, and the front shell assembly 20 can be installed in the front part above the base assembly 100. The front shell assembly 20 is provided with a support platform 22, and a water outlet (not shown in the figure) and an ice outlet are provided above the support platform 22. The support platform 22 is used to place containers such as cups.
[0040] The shape of the drain hole 18 includes, but is not limited to, a circular hole, a square hole, or holes of other regular or irregular shapes. Optionally, the shape of the drain plug 14 is adapted to the shape of the drain hole 18 to improve the sealing performance. For example, for a circular hole, the shape of the part of the drain plug 14 plugged in the drain hole 18 can be cylindrical.
[0041] The present utility model does not specifically limit the material of the drain plug 14. Optionally, the material of the drain plug 14 is an elastic material, and the elastic materials include but are not limited to rubber, silica gel, etc.
[0042] The water treatment device 200 is a machine with a water circuit and is at risk of machine leakage. When the water treatment device 200 leaks, water will flow into the water storage tank 16 of the base assembly 100. At this time, the drain plug 14 blocks the drain hole 18, and the water in the water storage tank 16 is stored. When it is necessary to drain the water storage tank 16, relevant personnel can remove the drain plug 14 without disassembling the machine, thereby opening the drain hole 18 and discharging the water in the water storage tank 16 from the base 12. To a certain extent, the base assembly 100 can be drained more quickly and simply for maintenance.
[0043] Before or after disassembling and repairing the machine by relevant personnel, it is necessary to drain the residual water inside the machine. Open the drain plug 14 (plug), drain it completely, and then install the drain plug 14.
[0044] In some embodiments, a ring-shaped first rib 24 is provided on the surface of the base 12 facing the water storage tank 16, and the first rib 24 is arranged around the inlet edge of the drain hole 18;
[0045] The drain plug 14 includes a support portion 26 and a blocking portion 28. The blocking portion 28 is connected to the bottom of the support portion 26. The blocking portion 28 blocks the drain hole 18, and the support portion 26 abuts against the top of the first rib 24.
[0046] Thus, the first rib 24 can increase the depth of the drain hole 18, so that the bonding area between the drain plug 14 and the drain hole 18 is large.
[0047] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , in one embodiment, the surface of the base 12 facing the water storage tank 16 is the upper surface of the base 12, and a ring-shaped first rib 24 is provided on the upper surface of the base 12. The first rib 24 is arranged around the inlet edge of the drain hole 18, which is equivalent to increasing the depth of the drain hole 18. The blocking portion 28 of the drain plug 14 can also have a corresponding thickness according to the depth of the drain hole 18, so that the bonding part between the drain plug 14 and the drain hole 18 is long and the area is large, which is conducive to improving the sealing performance of the drain plug 14 to the drain hole 18.
[0048] The support portion 26 protrudes from the circumferential side surface of the blocking portion 28. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5, when installing the drain plug 14, it can be inserted into the drain hole 18 from top to bottom, and the blocking part 28 enters the drain hole 18. When the supporting part 26 abuts against the top of the first rib 24, since the first rib 24 limits the supporting part 26, the blocking part 28 cannot move downward any further, thus completing the installation of the drain plug 14. This design facilitates relevant personnel (such as maintenance personnel) to push open the drain plug 14 (plug) from the bottom upward without disassembling the machine, and then the accumulated water inside the machine can be drained.
[0049] The present utility model does not specifically limit the shape of the ring of the first rib 24. Optionally, the shape of the ring of the first rib 24 is adapted to the shape of the drain hole 18. For example, if the drain hole 18 is a circular hole, the ring of the first rib 24 is a circular ring. If the drain hole 18 is a square hole, the ring of the first rib 24 is a square ring.
[0050] In some embodiments, the first rib 24 is provided with a communication hole 30. When the drain plug 14 is removed from the drain hole 18, the communication hole 30 communicates the drain hole 18 and the water storage tank 16.
[0051] Thus, it is convenient to drain the water in the water storage tank 16 completely.
[0052] Specifically, in Figure 2 , the first rib 24 is provided on the upper surface of the base 12 and is arranged around the entrance edge of the drain hole 18. When there is water in the water storage tank 16, since the first rib 24 is provided with a communication hole 30 and there is no first rib 24 or the height of the first rib 24 is relatively small at the communication hole 30, please refer to Figure 2 , when the drain plug 14 is removed from the drain hole 18, the water in the water storage tank 16 can flow to the drain hole 18 through the communication hole 30, avoiding the blockage of the first rib 24 and making it impossible or inconvenient to drain the water in the water storage tank 16 when the water level is relatively low. In Figure 2 , there is no first rib 24 at the communication hole 30, that is, the communication hole 30 penetrates from the upper surface of the base 12 to the top of the first rib 24, thus making it more convenient to drain the water in the water storage tank 16 completely.
[0053] The present utility model does not specifically limit the number of the communication holes 30. Optionally, in Figure 2 , the number of the communication holes 30 is two, the ring of the first rib 24 is a circular ring, and the two communication holes 30 are arranged along the radial direction of the first rib 24.
[0054] In some embodiments, a ring-shaped second rib 32 is provided on the surface of the base 12 facing away from the water storage tank 16, and the second rib 32 is arranged around the outlet edge of the drain hole 18;
[0055] The drain plug 14 includes a support portion 26 and a plugging portion 28. The plugging portion 28 is connected to the top of the support portion 26. The plugging portion 28 plugs the drain hole 18, and the support portion 26 abuts against the bottom of the second rib 32.
[0056] Thus, on the one hand, the second rib 32 can increase the depth of the drain hole 18, so that the bonding area between the drain plug 14 and the drain hole 18 is large. On the other hand, the second rib 32 can also prevent the water from spreading out in a large area in all directions during drainage to a certain extent. Instead, the water will be directly discharged downward along the second rib 32 (the water will not flow upward due to gravity, but will flow downward along the bottom of the second rib 32).
[0057] Specifically, please refer to Figures 4 to 8 , in an embodiment, the surface of the base 12 facing away from the water storage tank 16 is the lower surface of the base 12. A ring-shaped second rib 32 is provided on the lower surface of the base 12. The second rib 32 is arranged around the outlet edge of the drain hole 18, which is equivalent to increasing the depth of the drain hole 18. The plugging portion 28 of the drain plug 14 can also have a corresponding thickness according to the depth of the drain hole 18, so that the bonding portion between the drain plug 14 and the drain hole 18 is long and has a large area, which is conducive to improving the sealing performance of the drain plug 14 for the drain hole 18.
[0058] The support portion 26 protrudes from the circumferential side surface of the plugging portion 28. Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 , when installing the drain plug 14, it can be inserted into the drain hole 18 from bottom to top, and the plugging portion 28 enters the drain hole 18. When the support portion 26 abuts against the bottom of the second rib 32, since the second rib 32 limits the support portion 26, the plugging portion 28 cannot move upward any further, thus completing the installation of the drain plug 14. This design is convenient for relevant personnel (such as maintenance personnel) to drain the accumulated water inside the machine by pulling out the drain plug 14 (plug) from the bottom without disassembling the machine.
[0059] The present utility model does not specifically limit the ring shape of the second rib 32. Optionally, the ring shape of the second rib 32 is adapted to the shape of the drain hole 18. For example, if the drain hole 18 is a circular hole, the ring shape of the second rib 32 is a circular ring. If the drain hole 18 is a square hole, the ring shape of the second rib 32 is a square ring.
[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 , a ring-shaped third rib 34 is provided on the surface of the base 12 facing away from the water storage tank 16. The third rib 34 is arranged around the outlet of the drain hole 18. When the drain plug 14 plugs the drain hole 18, the bottom of the drain plug 14 is higher than the bottom of the third rib 34.
[0061] Thus, to a certain extent, it is possible to prevent the drain plug 14 from being scraped, collided with other objects and disengaged during the handling and moving of the machine, or being sucked and disengaged due to the suction cup effect when the drain plug 14 directly contacts a smooth plane.
[0062] Specifically, in Figures 4 to 8 , the surface of the base 12 facing away from the water storage tank 16 is the lower surface of the base 12, and a third rib 34 is provided on the lower surface. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 . When the drain plug 14 blocks the drain hole 18, the third rib 34 is located outside the drain plug 14. During the use or maintenance of the water treatment device 200, relevant personnel may move the water treatment device 200. The bottom of the drain plug 14 is higher than the bottom of the third rib 34. That is to say, the third rib 34 can block the drain plug 14 outside, so as to prevent the drain plug 14 from being scraped, collided with other objects and disengaged during the handling and moving of the machine to a certain extent.
[0063] Optionally, when the drain plug 14 is made of an elastic material, when the drain plug 14 directly contacts a smooth plane (such as the surface of a ceramic tile), it will be sucked and disengaged due to the suction cup effect. The bottom of the drain plug 14 is higher than the bottom of the third rib 34, so that the bottom of the third rib 34 limits the smooth plane to a certain distance below the drain plug 14, so that the drain plug 14 will not or is not easily in direct contact with the smooth plane, preventing it from being sucked and disengaged due to the suction cup effect, and preventing the water in the water storage tank 16 from accidentally spilling onto the ground.
[0064] The present utility model does not specifically limit the value of the bottom of the drain plug 14 being higher than the bottom of the third rib 34.
[0065] Optionally, the bottom surface of the base 12 is further provided with feet 36, and the feet 36 can support the base 12 off the ground, further preventing the drain plug 14 from being scraped, collided with other objects and disengaged during the handling and moving of the machine, or being sucked and disengaged due to the suction cup effect when directly contacting a smooth plane, and also facilitating relevant personnel to operate the drain plug 14.
[0066] In Figures 4 to 8 , a second rib 32 and a third rib 34 are provided on the lower surface of the base 12, and the third rib 34 is located outside the second rib 32. Along the up and down direction, the length of the third rib 34 is greater than the length of the second rib 32. When water flows out from the drain hole 18, the water flow will directly flow downward along the second rib 32 (the water will not flow upward due to gravity, but will flow downward along the bottom of the rib), and flow onto the third rib 34, and continue to flow directly downward along the third rib 34, thereby further preventing the water from spreading out in a large area in all directions.
[0067] In some embodiments, the material of the drain plug 14 includes rubber or silica gel.
[0068] Thus, the drain plug 14 has a low cost and high reliability.
[0069] Specifically, in one embodiment, the material of the drain plug 14 includes rubber, that is to say, the drain plug 14 can be made of rubber. In one embodiment, the material of the drain plug 14 includes silica gel, that is to say, the drain plug 14 can be made of silica gel. The drain plug 14 can be integrally manufactured by an injection molding process, with high manufacturing efficiency and high yield.
[0070] Rubber and silica gel have a wide range of applications, mature technologies, low costs, and high reliability.
[0071] Optionally, the drain plug 14 is provided with a weight-reducing groove 38. On the one hand, the weight-reducing groove 38 can reduce the weight of the drain plug 14 and save materials. On the other hand, the weight-reducing groove 38 can also provide space for intrusion when the drain plug 14 deforms, making the drain plug 14 more elastic and improving the installation and disassembly of the drain plug 14 by relevant personnel to a certain extent.
[0072] In some embodiments, the base assembly 100 includes a detection component. A part of the detection component is located in the water storage tank 16. The detection component is configured to close the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200 and / or control the water treatment device 200 to cut off power or stop working when it detects that there is water in the water storage tank 16.
[0073] Thus, the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200 can be closed and / or the water treatment device 200 can be controlled to cut off power or stop working through the detection component.
[0074] Specifically, when the water treatment device 200 leaks, the water storage tank 16 stores water. The detection component can detect the water in the water storage tank 16, so that the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200 can be closed and / or the water treatment device 200 can be controlled to cut off power or stop working. Closing the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200 can cut off the water supply of the water treatment device 200, thereby reducing the possibility of continued leakage.
[0075] Controlling the water treatment device 200 to cut off power can make the relevant electrical components of the water treatment device 200 not charged, avoiding electrical safety accidents caused by leakage to a certain extent. Controlling the water treatment device 200 to stop working, for example, can control the water treatment device 200 to stop refrigerating, heating, discharging water, making ice, etc., and avoid the water treatment device 200 operating under the leakage condition, which is beneficial to improving the use safety of the water treatment device 200.
[0076] Closing the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200 and / or controlling the power-off or stop of the water treatment device 200, including closing the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200, or controlling the power-off of the water treatment device 200, or controlling the water treatment device 200 to stop working; closing the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200 and controlling the power-off of the water treatment device 200; closing the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200 and controlling the water treatment device 200 to stop working.
[0077] In some embodiments, the detection component includes a mechanical water leakage switch 40. The mechanical water leakage switch 40 includes a detection port 42. The detection port 42 is located in the water storage tank 16. The mechanical water leakage switch 40 is configured to close the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200 when there is water at the detection port 42.
[0078] Thus, the water inlet waterway of the water treatment device 200 can be closed by the mechanical water leakage switch 40.
[0079] Specifically, in one embodiment, the water treatment device 200 has a purification function. The water treatment device 200 includes a purified water tank. The purified water tank is connected to a water source (such as tap water) through a water inlet pipe. The inside of the water inlet pipe forms a part of the water inlet waterway. Please refer to Figure 2 , the mechanical water leakage switch 40 has a water inlet interface 44, a water outlet interface 46, a water absorption member (not shown in the figure), and a cutoff member (not shown in the figure). The water absorption member is connected to the cutoff member. The water inlet interface 44 can be connected to a water source (such as tap water) through a first water inlet pipe. The water outlet interface 46 can be connected to the purified water tank through a second water inlet pipe. The water absorption member is located in the detection port 42.
[0080] When the detection port 42 is not flooded, the water absorption member is in an unexpanded state, causing the cutoff member to be in the first position. Water can enter the mechanical water leakage switch 40 through the first water inlet pipe and flow out of the mechanical water leakage switch 40 through the second water inlet pipe.
[0081] During the operation or standby of the product, due to certain failures, the sealing performance of some components of the product fails and water leaks. After the detection port 42 is flooded, the water absorption member can absorb water and expand, driving the cutoff member to the second position, thereby cutting off the waterway between the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe. Optionally, after the water in the water storage tank 16 is drained, the relevant personnel can disassemble the mechanical water leakage switch 40, remove the water from the water absorption member, and restore the water absorption member to its original dry state, so that the cutoff member is reset to the first position and the waterway between the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe is reopened. Optionally, the water absorption member can be absorbent cotton.
[0082] Thus, the mechanical water leakage switch 40 can cut off the water inlet waterway in a purely mechanical manner.
[0083] In some embodiments, the detection component includes a water leakage probe 48 located in the water storage tank 16. The water leakage probe 48 is configured to control the water treatment device 200 to cut off power or stop working when water is detected in the water storage tank 16.
[0084] Thus, the power-off or stop of the water treatment device 200 can be controlled by the water leakage probe 48.
[0085] Specifically, in one embodiment, the water treatment device 200 includes a controller, and the controller can be electrically connected to the water leakage probe 48. Please refer to Figure 2 , the water leakage probe 48 includes two detection columns 50 located in the water storage tank 16. When there is no water or little water in the water storage tank 16, the two detection columns 50 are not soaked by water, and the insulation between the two detection columns 50 is maintained. The level signal obtained by the controller is a low-level signal, and the controller can control the normal operation of the water treatment device 200.
[0086] When the product is working or on standby and there are some failures, the sealing performance of some components of the product fails and water leaks. When there is water in the water storage tank 16 and the two detection columns 50 are soaked by water, the two detection columns 50 are electrically connected, and the level signal obtained by the controller is a high-level signal. The controller can control the water treatment device 200 to cut off power or stop working.
[0087] It can be understood that the mechanical water leakage switch 40 and the water leakage probe 48 can be equipped simultaneously or separately.
[0088] In some embodiments, the water storage tank 16 includes a detection area 52 and a water storage area 54. The depth of the detection area 52 is greater than that of the water storage area 54, and a part of the detection component is located in the detection area 52.
[0089] Thus, it is easier for the detection component to detect water leakage of the water treatment device 200.
[0090] Specifically, in the Figure 2 shown embodiment, the detection component includes a mechanical water leakage switch 40 and a water leakage probe 48. The detection port 42 of the mechanical water leakage switch 40 is located in the detection area 52, and a part of the water leakage probe 48 is located in the water storage area 54. When the water treatment device 200 leaks water, since the depth of the detection area 52 is greater than that of the water storage area 54, the water can first be stored in the detection area 52, which can trigger the closing of the water inlet circuit of the water treatment device 200.
[0091] When the detection area 52 is full of water, it can flow to the water storage area 54 for further water storage and can trigger the power-off or stop of the water treatment device 200. In Figure 2 , a water storage area 54 is provided in the drain hole 18. It can be understood that the present invention does not specifically limit the position of the drain hole 18 in the water storage tank 16.
[0092] A water treatment device 200 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes the base assembly 100 of any of the above embodiments.
[0093] In the above water treatment device 200, a drain hole 18 and a water storage tank 16 are provided on the base 12. The drain plug 14 is detachably plugged in the drain hole 18. When the water storage tank 16 stores water due to leakage of the water treatment device 200, without disassembling the machine, relevant personnel can remove the drain plug 14, thereby opening the drain hole 18 to drain the water in the water storage tank 16 from the base 12. To a certain extent, it can make the drainage of the base assembly 100 quicker and simpler for maintenance.
[0094] It should be noted that the explanations of the embodiments and beneficial effects of the above base assembly 100 also apply to the water treatment device 200 of this embodiment. To avoid redundancy, they will not be elaborated in detail here.
[0095] In summary, the base assembly 100 and the water treatment device 200 according to the embodiments of the present utility model at least have the following technical effects:
[0096] 1. It is convenient to drain the accumulated water in the machine after the machine leaks.
[0097] 2. For the two installation methods of the drain plug 14 (from top to bottom and from bottom to top), drainage can be carried out without disassembling the machine.
[0098] 3. The third rib 34 on the base 12 can prevent the drain plug 14 from being knocked out or sucked out.
[0099] 4. The second rib 32 position on the base 12 can restrict the water flow direction to prevent the water flow from diverging.
