Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water dispensers, and particularly to a water storage device and a drinking water device using the same. Background Art

[0002] A water purifier, also known as a water quality purifier or a water purification machine, is a device for deeply filtering and purifying water quality, mainly applied to small purifiers for household use. The water purifier filters impurities in water through a filter element, thereby producing clean purified water. Water purifiers of different specifications have different water production rates per unit time, and the waiting time required for users to receive water is also different. For example, for a commercially available water purifier with a purified water production speed of 0.20 L / min, it takes 1.5 min to fill a 300 ml cup with water using this water purifier, which wastes the user's time.

[0003] In view of the situation that water purifiers of different specifications have different water production rates per unit time and the waiting time required for users to receive water is also different, in order to shorten the waiting time for users to receive water, a pressure bucket is usually connected to the water outlet end of the water purifier. When the user receives water, the water in the pressure bucket is output first, thereby accelerating the water output and shortening the waiting time for the user.

[0004] However, in the above water receiving process, although the water flow rate is increased due to the setting of the pressure bucket, when the user's water demand is large, the user still needs to wait for a long time, and there is still a problem of long water receiving time. Summary of the Utility Model

[0030] The following will further elaborate on the embodiments of this application in conjunction with the attached Figures 1-3 drawings.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a water storage device, specifically a water storage device for connecting to a water purifier (not shown) to achieve the water storage function. The water purifier involved in the embodiments of the present application includes but is not limited to an under-counter water purifier. The water inlet end of the water purifier is connected to the raw water pipeline to achieve water inlet, and the water outlet end is connected to the water storage device through a pipeline to achieve water supply and storage, so as to meet the user's demand for quick water use on the table. Specifically, the water storage device includes a water storage mechanism 1 for storing purified water, a base 5 for detachably installing the water storage mechanism 1, a water conveyance mechanism 3 for connecting the water storage mechanism 1 to the water purifier, and a sensing mechanism 2 for detecting the water pressure inside the water storage mechanism 1. In the embodiments of the present application, a split structure is provided between the water storage mechanism 1 and the water conveyance mechanism 3. That is, when water storage is required, the water storage mechanism 1 is detachably installed on the base 5 for water inlet operation. When in use, the water storage mechanism 1 is directly detached from the base 5 and used alone, thereby improving the convenience of the user to draw water.

[0032] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, the sensing mechanism 2 includes a sensing element 21 installed on the water storage mechanism 1 and a conducting element 22 installed on the base 5. The sensing element 21 is used to detect the water pressure inside the water storage mechanism 1 in real time to generate a corresponding water pressure signal, and the conducting element 22 is in contact with the above-mentioned sensing element 21 by contact.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present application, the water conveyance mechanism 3 includes a water conveyance pipeline 31 for connecting the water storage mechanism 1 to the water purifier, and a control valve 32 installed on the water conveyance pipeline 31. The control valve 32 is electrically connected to the above-mentioned sensing element 21. Specifically, the control valve 32 includes an open state and a closed state. When the detected water pressure detected by the sensing element 21 is greater than or equal to the preset water pressure, the control valve 32 of the water conveyance mechanism 3 switches to the closed state, the water conveyance pipeline 31 is blocked, and water storage stops.

[0034] When the detected water pressure detected by the sensing element 21 is less than the preset water pressure, the control valve 32 switches and remains open, so that the water conveyance pipeline 31 is conducted, and thus the water in the water purifier is continuously conveyed to the water storage mechanism 1 until the detected water pressure detected by the sensing element 21 is equal to the preset water pressure, and then the water conveyance mechanism 3 is switched to the closed state again to cut off the water conveyance pipeline 31, thereby stopping the water inlet.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the control valve 32 is specifically an electromagnetic valve, and the electromagnetic valve can be electrically connected to the sensing element 21 by means of a conduction element 22. The water conveyance pipeline 31 is a water pipe connected between the water inlet end of the water storage mechanism 1 and the water outlet end of the water purifier.

[0036] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the sensing element 21 can be connected to the water storage mechanism 1 by means of embedding. The sensing element 21 includes an element body 211, a sealing member 212 and a housing 213. The bottom wall of the water storage mechanism 1 is provided with an installation hole 13 for installing the element body 211. The housing 213 covers the periphery of the element body 211 and is provided with a through hole 2131. The sealing member is arranged between the outer wall of the element body 211 and the inner wall of the installation hole 13 to prevent the water in the water storage cavity 11 from seeping outwards.

[0037] A receiving hole is provided in the base 5 corresponding to the sensing element 21, and the receiving hole penetrates the top wall of the base 5. The conduction element 22 is specifically a sensor signal PCB board installed in the receiving hole. After the water storage mechanism 1 is installed on the base 5, the sensing element 21 can achieve contact of contacts with the conduction element 22 along the installation direction, and the conduction element 22 is connected to the control valve 32 through a wire.

[0038] Further, in some embodiments, the water storage device further includes a power line 9 passing through the base 5. The control valve 32 is electrically connected to the power line 9 by means of a wire to receive external energy supply. The water storage device further includes a control mechanism 7 installed in the installation space 8. The control mechanism 7 is respectively connected to the above-mentioned sensing mechanism 2 and water conveyance mechanism 3 to achieve centralized control.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the control mechanism 7 can specifically be a PCB board with programming functions. The power line 9 is electrically connected to the input end of the PCB board through a wire. The conduction element 22 and the control valve 32 are also connected to the PCB board by means of wires. On the one hand, it can supply power to the sensing element 21 by means of the contact of contacts between the conduction element 22 and the sensing element 21. On the other hand, it can also achieve reliable signal transmission between the sensing element 21 and the control valve 32 through wires, improving the reliability of the automatic water storage function of the water storage device.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 1As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the water storage mechanism 1 is specifically a kettle for storing clean water for users to use at any time, which includes a water storage chamber 11 with an opening at the top. The sensing element 21 is specifically a water pressure sensor installed in the water storage chamber 11. The water pressure sensor only needs to be installed on any side wall of the water storage chamber 11. The installation structure is simple and the volume is small, which can effectively reduce the impact of the capacity of the water storage chamber 11 in the sensor element 21. In addition, by installing the sensing element 21 in the water storage chamber 11, the water pressure inside the water storage mechanism 1 can be directly detected, so that the overall structure of the water storage device is simple, which can effectively reduce the production and replacement costs of the water storage device.

[0041] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to more comprehensively detect the water pressure conditions inside the water storage mechanism 1, the sensor element 21 can be installed on the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 11, so that the sensor element 21 can detect the corresponding water pressure signal even when the water level in the water storage chamber 11 is low.

[0042] In some other embodiments, the sensor element 21 can also be installed on the side wall of the water storage chamber 11. In order to enable the sensor element 21 to detect the water pressure signal in the water storage mechanism 1 even when the water level in the water storage chamber 11 is low, the sensor element 21 in the embodiment of the present application should be installed on the side of the side wall of the water storage chamber 11 closer to the bottom wall.

[0043] Continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure the sealing of the water storage mechanism 1 and the water delivery mechanism 3 after they are separated, in an embodiment of the present application, the water storage device also includes a check mechanism 4 installed between the water delivery mechanism 3 and the water storage mechanism 1, and the water storage device can be detachably connected to the water delivery mechanism 3 with the aid of the check mechanism 4.

[0044] The check mechanism 4 specifically includes a second check component 42 connected to the water delivery mechanism 3 and a first check component 41 connected to the water storage mechanism 1. The first check component 41 and the second check component 42 can be plugged into each other along the installation direction of the water storage mechanism 1 and conduct the water delivery pipeline 31.

[0045] When the first check component 41 and the second check component 42 are plugged into each other along the installation direction of the water storage mechanism 1, the water outlet of the check mechanism 4 is connected, and the water in the water delivery mechanism 3 can be delivered to the water storage mechanism 1 under the water inlet pressure of the water purifier. When the first check component 41 and the second check component 42 are separated, the first check component 41 is used to prevent the water in the water storage mechanism 1 from flowing out, and the second check component 42 is used to prevent the water in the water delivery mechanism 3 from flowing out of the water delivery mechanism 3, so that the water outlet of the check mechanism 4 is closed, thereby isolating the waterway between the water storage mechanism 1 and the water delivery mechanism 3.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the first check assembly 41 includes a first valve core 411 slidably mounted along the installation direction of the water storage mechanism 1 at the water inlet of the water storage mechanism 1. A first elastic member 412 and a first sealing ring are provided between the outer periphery of the first valve core 411 and the inner wall of the water inlet. When the first check assembly 41 and the second check assembly 42 are separated, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 412, the first valve core 411 can move downward to block the water inlet.

[0047] Similarly, the second check assembly 42 includes a second valve core 421 slidably mounted along the installation direction of the water storage mechanism 1 at the water outlet of the water conveyance mechanism 3. A second elastic member 422 and a second sealing ring are provided between the outer periphery of the second valve core 421 and the inner wall of the water outlet. When the first check assembly 41 and the second check assembly 42 are separated, under the elastic force of the second elastic member 422, the second valve core 421 can move upward to block the water outlet. Among them, the first elastic member 412 and the second elastic member 422 may specifically be springs.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, for the convenience of description, Figure 3 is taken as an example, and Figure 3 the direction in which the first check assembly 41 is located relative to the second check assembly 42 is defined as "upward", and the direction in which the second check assembly 42 is located relative to the first check assembly 41 is defined as "downward". The terms "up", "down" and similar expressions used in the present application are only for the purpose of illustration and do not represent the only implementation manner.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 5 includes a top cover 51 and a bottom cover 52 arranged oppositely along the height direction. The top cover 51 and the bottom cover 52 are connected by fasteners 10 to enclose an installation space 8. The above-mentioned water conveyance mechanism 3 and the second check assembly 42 can both be accommodated in the installation space 8. In some embodiments, in order to ensure the connection stability between the water conveyance mechanism 3, the second check assembly 42 and the base 5, the water conveyance mechanism 3 and the second check assembly 42 can be locked to the base 5 by means of the fasteners 10, so as to realize the installation and fixation of the water conveyance mechanism 3 and the second check assembly 42.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the fastener 10 may specifically be a locking structure such as a bolt, a screw, a clamp, etc., as long as it can install the water conveyance mechanism 3 and the second check assembly 42 on the base 5.

[0051] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, on the side of the top cover 51 facing the water storage mechanism 1, there is a socket groove 511. On the side of the water storage mechanism 1 facing the base 5, a socket part 12 is correspondingly arranged corresponding to the socket groove 511. The socket part 12 can be adaptively inserted into the socket groove 511 along the installation direction of the water storage mechanism 1 to realize the snap connection and fixation between the water storage mechanism 1 and the base 5, so that the water storage mechanism 1 can only be detached from the base 5 longitudinally, avoiding the abnormal lateral movement of the water storage mechanism 1 under the influence of external forces during the water storage process.

[0052] Take Figure 1 As an example shown in the figure, in the embodiment of the present application, the socket groove 511 is specifically an annular groove provided at the top end of the top cover 51, so that the top end of the top cover 51 is configured into a "step-shaped" structure, and the socket part 12 is adaptively configured into a ring shape. During the installation of the water storage mechanism 1, the socket part 12 can be adaptively inserted into the annular groove along the installation direction, so that the inner circle of the socket part 12 is in mutual fit with the groove wall of the annular groove, having the dual functions of guiding and lateral limiting, which helps to improve the convenience and connection stability of the connection between the water storage mechanism 1 and the base 5, so as to improve the user experience.

[0053] In some other embodiments, the water storage device further includes a trigger mechanism 6 installed between the water storage mechanism 1 and the base 5. The trigger mechanism 6 is electrically connected to the above-mentioned sensing element 21 and is used to control the start and stop of the sensing element 21. Specifically, the trigger mechanism 6 includes a trigger member 61 installed on the water storage mechanism 1 and a sensing member 62 installed on the base 5. The sensing member 62 realizes the electrical connection with the sensing element 21 by means of a conduction element 22. The sensing member 62 is used to sense the position of the trigger member 61 and generate a corresponding trigger signal, so as to control the start and stop of the sensing mechanism 2.

[0054] Among them, the trigger member 61 can specifically be a magnetic member such as a magnet installed on the water storage mechanism 1, and the trigger member 61 can generate a specific magnetic field centered on itself. In the present application, a card slot is provided on the water storage mechanism 1 corresponding to the installation position of the trigger member 61, and the magnetic member realizes the detachable connection with the water storage mechanism 1 by means of the card slot, so as to facilitate installation and replacement. The sensing member 62 can specifically be a reed switch installed on the base 5, and the reed switch can also be fixed to the inner wall of the top cover 51 or the bottom cover 52 by means of a fastener 10.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the reed switch is specifically an electric switch that performs opening and closing operations through the applied magnetic field change, and can switch the switch state according to the change of the magnetic field applied by the trigger member 61 to realize the control of the start and stop states of the sensing element 21 electrically connected thereto.

[0056] Specifically, when the distance between the reed switch and the magnetic component is equal to or less than a preset distance, that is, when the water storage mechanism 1 is installed on the base 5, the reed switch is switched to the on state under the influence of the magnetic field of the magnetic component, and the control mechanism 7 is controlled to turn on to detect the water pressure in the water storage mechanism 1. When the distance between the reed switch and the magnetic component is greater than the preset distance, that is, when the water storage mechanism 1 is detached from the base 5, the reed switch is correspondingly switched to the off state under the influence of the magnetic field of the magnetic component it senses, and the control mechanism 7 is controlled to turn off to avoid unnecessary standby power consumption and play an energy-saving role.

[0057] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the present application further provides a drinking water device, which includes a water purifier and a water storage device as shown in any of the above embodiments. The water purifier can connect to an external water source and produce purified water, and the water storage device can communicate with the water purifier to achieve an automatic water storage function.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present application, the water purifier can be an under-counter water purifier, such as an RO machine. In actual application, the user places the water storage mechanism 1 on the base 5, and the trigger 61 in the water storage mechanism 1 triggers the sensing element 62 to generate a signal and controls the sensing element 21 to start. The sensing element 21 transmits the detected water pressure signal to the control mechanism 7 through the conducting element 22 and compares the detected water pressure signal with a preset water pressure. If the detected water pressure is less than the preset water pressure, the control valve 32 is driven to start. At this time, the RO machine connected to the control valve 32 through a water delivery pipe relieves pressure, starts water production, and conveys the produced purified water to the water storage mechanism 1 through the water delivery pipeline 31, the control valve 32, and the check mechanism 4 for storage. During this process, the detected water pressure detected by the sensing element 21 gradually increases. When the water inflow reaches the warning water level, that is, when the detected water pressure detected by the sensing element 21 is equal to or even greater than the preset water pressure, the control mechanism 7 immediately drives the control valve 32 to switch to the closed state. At this time, the RO machine forms a high-pressure disconnection, thereby stopping water intake.

[0059] In the present application, the water replenishment and storage process is controlled by detecting the change of the water pressure in the water storage cavity 11 during the water production process, thereby controlling the start and stop of the water purifier connected thereto, realizing the functions of automatic water replenishment and storage, enabling the user to quickly take out the required water from the water storage device when fetching water, effectively shortening the waiting time for the user to fetch water, and further improving the user experience.

[0060] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as within the scope described in this specification.

[0061] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patented application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
