Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water dispensers, and particularly relates to a smart seat and a water dispenser. Background Art
[0002] A water dispenser is a device that heats or cools barreled water for people to drink conveniently. The smart seat of the water dispenser is located between the barrel containing barreled water and the place where the barrel is placed. The smart seat is generally trumpet-shaped, and a seat core is arranged inside the smart seat. When the water bucket is inverted in the smart seat, the seat core of the smart seat can extend into the bucket mouth of the water bucket, so that external air can enter the water bucket, and the water in the water bucket can flow into the water dispenser.
[0003] Existing water dispensers generally include a water bucket, a smart seat, a middle water tank, a cold tank and a hot tank. The water bucket supplies water to the middle water tank in the water dispenser through the smart seat. The middle water tank supplies water to the cold tank and the hot tank respectively. The cold tank cools and stores the water, and the hot tank heats and stores the water. When the water dispenser is in use, the water level in the middle water tank drops, and the bottom of the smart seat is exposed, allowing air to enter the water bucket, so that the water in the water bucket continues to flow out. When the water dispenser is not in use, the water in the water bucket flows into the middle water tank through the seat core, and the water level in the middle water tank rises. When the water level in the middle water tank rises to the bottom of the smart seat, the bucket mouth of the water bucket can be sealed to prevent the water from continuing to flow out of the water bucket.
[0004] Its defects are as follows: The middle water tank in the water dispenser occupies a large space, increasing the volume and manufacturing cost of the whole water dispenser. Secondly, during the process of the water bucket supplying water to the middle water tank, an equal volume of air needs to enter through the air inlet hole. The water in the water bucket is directly in contact with the external air. Since the air carries bacteria and impurities, the water in the water bucket will be polluted. Summary of the Utility Model

Based on the embodiments in the implementation manners, it is intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0028] As used herein, the terms "one embodiment", "example", or "instance" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present patent disclosure. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.
[0029] As Figures 1-5 shown, as a first aspect of the present utility model, there is provided a smart base, including a base body 1 and a base core 2. The base body 1 is formed with an installation cavity for installing a water bucket, and a base core 2 extending into the bucket mouth of the water bucket is arranged in the installation cavity. A main channel 20 penetrating the base core 2 along the length direction of the base core 2 is formed in the base core 2. The smart base further includes a water outlet assembly 3. The water outlet assembly 3 includes a pumping pipeline 30 located in the main channel 20. The pumping pipeline 30 penetrates out of the base core. A first opening of the pumping pipeline 30 is located in the main channel, and a second opening of the pumping pipeline 30 is located outside the bottom of the installation cavity. An air intake interval 301 is formed between the outer wall of the pumping pipeline 30 and the inner wall of the main channel 20. An air outlet 311 is formed on the part of the water outlet assembly 3 located outside the base core 2, and the air outlet 311 communicates the air intake interval 301 with the outside atmosphere.
[0030] In the prior art, only a main channel is provided in the base core of the smart base, and a middle water tank is provided at the lower end of the base core. Both pumping and air intake are completed using the main channel. In this embodiment, the water outlet assembly 3 includes a pumping pipeline 30 located in the main channel 20, and an air intake interval 301 is formed between the outer wall of the pumping pipeline 30 and the inner wall of the main channel 20. Due to the arrangement of the pumping pipeline 30 and the air intake interval 301, water can be directly pumped out of the water bucket through the pumping channel by a water pump, and air enters the water bucket from the air intake channel. There is no need to set a middle water tank in the water dispenser, which reduces the volume of the water dispenser, not only reducing the occupied space of the water dispenser but also reducing the manufacturing cost of the water dispenser. Since the pumping pipeline 30 and the air intake interval 301 are independent of each other, no air blockage phenomenon will occur during use, and air can smoothly enter the water bucket.
[0031] As Figure 2As shown, the water outlet assembly 3 further includes a connecting seat 31 which forms a cavity 310 opening at one end; the bottom of the seat core 2 passes through the installation cavity and is connected to the connecting seat 31, and the cavity 310 is communicated with the main channel 20; the pumping pipeline 30 penetrates through the connecting seat 31, one end of the pumping pipeline 30 extends into the main channel 20, and the other end of the pumping pipeline 30 extends outside the connecting seat 31.
[0032] The air outlet 311 is arranged on the wall surface of the cavity 310. The cavity 310, the main channel 20 and the pumping channel 300 jointly define an air intake interval 301. A plurality of air outlet holes 323 communicating with the air intake interval 301 are formed on the surface of the seat core 2, and an air inlet 10 is formed on the surface of the seat body 1. The air inlet 10 is communicated with the air outlet holes 323 through the air inlet pipe 4, the air outlet 311 and the air intake interval 301. In this embodiment, the air inlet pipe 4 is an L-shaped silica gel pipe. Since the pumping pipeline 30 and the air intake interval 301 are independent of each other, air blockage will not occur during use, and air can smoothly enter the water bucket.
[0033] In this embodiment, an air filter element is detachably provided at the air inlet 10. The air filter element is an air filter net, an air filter or an air filter cotton. The air entering the water bucket is purified through the air filter element, so that the drinking water in the water bucket is protected from the pollution of air pollution sources. When the air filter element is used for too long, the filter screen surface is covered with dust, or the filter material is aged and deformed, the air filter element is cleaned or replaced.
[0034] As Figure 3 shown, the seat core 2 is columnar. A guiding part 21 is provided at one end of the seat core 2 located in the installation cavity, and a connecting part 22 is provided at one end of the seat core 2 located outside the bottom of the installation cavity; a guiding port 211 communicating with the main channel 20 is provided on the guiding part 21, and the connecting part 22 is connected to the connecting seat 31. The guiding part 21 is used for introducing the liquid in the water bucket, and the connecting part 22 is used for connecting the connecting seat 31.
[0035] The guiding part 21 includes a plurality of side walls 210 annularly and arrayedly distributed along the axis direction of the seat core 2. The top edges of the side walls 210 are arc-shaped edges, and a guiding port 211 communicating with the main channel 20 is formed between two adjacent side walls 210.
[0036] In other alternative embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, a piercing part 24 is also sleeved on the diversion part 21. The piercing part 24 includes a housing 241 and a piercing head 240. The housing 241 is sleeved outside the diversion part 21. An inlet opening 2410 communicating with the first opening of the diversion part 21 is formed in the side wall of the housing 241. A piercing head 240 is provided at one end of the housing 241 away from the diversion part 21. The piercing head 240 is hemispherical, and the piercing head 240 is used for piercing the sealing piece at the mouth of the water bucket 5.
[0037] A seat core mounting hole is provided on the seat body 1, and the connecting part 22 of the seat core 2 passes through outside the seat core mounting hole. As Figure 5 shown, the connecting part 22 of the seat core 2 is provided with an external thread, and an internal thread matching the external thread is provided in the mounting cavity 310 of the connecting seat 31. The connecting part 22 of the seat core 2 passes through the mounting hole and is in threaded cooperation with the mounting cavity 310 of the connecting seat 31. The mounting cavity 310 communicates with the main channel 20 in the seat core 2.
[0038] As Figure 7 shown, as a second aspect of the present invention, a water dispenser is provided, which includes a smart seat, a cold water tank and a hot water tank. An inverted water bucket 5 is installed on the smart seat. The smart seat is the smart seat provided in Embodiment 1. One end of the water pumping rod 30 outside the seat body of the smart seat is connected to one end of a three-way pipeline. The other two ends of the three-way pipeline are respectively connected to a first cold water pump 6 and a first hot water pump 7. The water outlet end of the first cold water pump 6 is connected to the water inlet end of the cold water tank 8. The water outlet end of the cold water tank 8 is connected to the water inlet end of the second cold water pump 11. The water outlet end of the second cold water pump is connected to the cold water outlet of the water dispenser; the water outlet end of the first hot water pump 7 is connected to the water inlet end of the hot water tank 9. The water outlet end of the hot water tank 9 is connected to the water inlet end of the second hot water pump 12. The water outlet end of the second hot water pump 12 is connected to the hot water outlet of the water dispenser.
[0039] The water in the water bucket 5 directly enters the cold water tank 8 through the smart seat, the water pumping rod and the first cold water pump. When the first cold water pump pumps water into the cold water tank 8, air enters the water bucket through the air inlet 10, the air inlet pipe 4 and the air inlet channel 301; the cold water in the cold water tank 8 is refrigerated and stored. When the second cold water pump 11 is started, the cold water stored in the cold water tank 8 flows out from the cold water outlet of the water dispenser; the water in the water bucket 5 directly enters the hot water tank 9 through the smart seat, the water pumping rod and the first hot water pump. When the first hot water pump 7 pumps water into the hot water tank 9, air enters the water bucket through the air inlet 10, the air inlet pipe 4 and the air inlet channel 301; the hot water in the hot water tank 9 is heated and stored; when the second hot water pump 12 is started, the hot water stored in the hot water tank 9 flows out from the hot water outlet of the water dispenser. The air filter provided at the air inlet 10 is used to purify the air entering the water bucket 5, and the air filter can be conveniently disassembled and replaced.
[0040] Compared with the existing water dispensers, the water dispenser provided in this embodiment cancels the setting of the middle water tank. Due to the setting of the water pumping pipeline 30 and the air intake interval 301, water can be directly pumped out of the water bucket by a water pump, reducing the volume of the water dispenser, that is, reducing the occupied space of the water dispenser and also reducing the manufacturing cost of the water dispenser. Since the water pumping pipeline 30 and the air intake interval 301 are independent of each other, air blockage will not occur during use, and air can smoothly enter the water bucket. At the same time, an air filter element is installed at the air inlet 10 to purify the air entering the water bucket 5.
[0041] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model includes but is not limited to the content described in the drawings and the above specific implementation manner. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present utility model will be included in the scope of the claims.
