Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water dispensers, in particular to an adaptive water bottle mouth structure of a water dispenser. Background Art

[0002] A Chinese patent with the publication number of CN212213459U discloses a water bottle adapter for a water dispenser and a water dispenser. The water bottle adapter for a water dispenser includes an adapter body. One end of the adapter body is provided with a connection flange for connecting to an external water bottle, and the other end is provided with a connection joint for connecting to a water dispenser. A first check valve is arranged in a drainage channel between the connection flange and the connection joint. An air inlet channel communicating with the connection flange is further arranged on the adapter body, and a second check valve is arranged in the air inlet channel.

[0003] However, the above water dispenser has the following disadvantages: The adapter of this water dispenser can only be used to connect water bottles with a specific bottle mouth diameter, and cannot adaptively connect water bottles with different bottle mouth diameters, so the universality is poor and it needs to be improved urgently. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an adaptive water bottle mouth structure of a water dispenser, which has the effects of being able to adaptively plug and connect water bottles with different diameters to realize water supply and effectively fixing the water bottle to prevent the bottle body from tilting during water supply.

[0005] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: An adaptive water bottle mouth structure of a water dispenser includes a water dispenser main body. The water dispenser main body is provided with a water supply system and a mounting seat. The water dispenser main body is provided with a smart seat communicating with the water supply system. The mounting seat is detachably installed in the smart seat. A water flow channel communicating with the inner cavity of the smart seat is penetrated through the middle of the mounting seat.

[0006] The mounting seat includes a plurality of circular steps with diameters decreasing successively from bottom to top. The bottle mouths of water bottles with different diameters are plugged and matched with the corresponding circular steps.

[0007] The water dispenser main body is provided with an elastic positioning structure. When the water bottle is installed on the mounting seat, the bottle body of the water bottle is positioned and matched with the elastic positioning structure.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, first open the bottle cap of the water bottle, and align the bottle mouth of the water bottle with the circular step adapted to the mounting seat and insert them together to realize the fixed connection between the water bottle and the mounting seat. The liquid in the water bottle flows into the intelligent seat through the water flow channel of the mounting seat, and then the water flows through the intelligent seat into the water supply system. The utility model is provided with circular steps of different diameters on the mounting seat to adapt to different sizes of bottle mouths for plugging and positioning, and can realize the plugging and water supply of water bottles with different bottle mouth diameters. In addition, when the water bottle is installed on the mounting seat, the elastic positioning structure can also fix the bottle body of the water bottle to prevent the water bottle from tilting during the water supply process due to shaking. It has the effects of being able to adapt to and plug different water bottles with different diameters to realize water supply, and being able to effectively fix the water bottle to prevent the bottle body from tilting during water supply.

[0009] A further setting of the utility model is that the material of the mounting seat is set as silica gel material.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting seat made of silica gel material enables each circular step to have a certain elastic deformation ability, which is beneficial to improving the firmness and leak-proofness when the circular steps of different diameters are plugged with the adapted bottle mouths.

[0011] A further setting of the utility model is that a groove is provided on the side wall of a circular step at the bottom position of the mounting seat, and a sealing ring is installed in the groove. The side wall of the mounting seat is in sealing cooperation with the inner wall of the intelligent seat through the sealing ring.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mounting seat is placed in the inner cavity of the intelligent seat, due to the sealing effect of the sealing ring, the side wall of the bottommost layer of circular steps of the mounting seat and the side wall of the inner cavity of the intelligent seat can maintain good water tightness, preventing the water source from overflowing from the connection gap between the sealing seat and the intelligent seat.

[0013] A further setting of the utility model is that the mounting seat is provided with an air flow channel, the air outlet end of the air flow channel is communicated with the upper end surface of the mounting seat, and the air inlet end of the air flow channel is communicated with the side wall of a circular step at the position close to the bottom of the mounting seat.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the addition of the air flow channel can balance the air pressure in the water bottle, prevent the water bottle from being deformed due to the extrusion of the external atmospheric pressure caused by the reduction of the air pressure in the bottle during the water supply process, and ensure that the water source in the water bottle can continuously and smoothly flow into the water flow channel of the mounting seat.

[0015] A further setting of the utility model is that a pneumatic balance tube made of polytetrafluoroethylene material is penetrated in the air flow channel.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the air pressure balance tube made of polytetrafluoroethylene material has good anti-deformation ability. When the circular step of the mounting seat is inserted and matched with the bottle mouth of the water bottle, it may cause elastic deformation in the radial direction of the circular step. The air pressure balance tube made of polytetrafluoroethylene can prevent the air flow channel from being blocked due to this deformation.

[0017] A further setting of the present utility model is that a one-way intake valve is connected to the intake end of the air pressure balance tube.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the one-way intake valve allows air in the external atmosphere to enter the air pressure balance tube unidirectionally, so that the air pressure in the water bottle is balanced with the external atmospheric pressure.

[0019] A further setting of the present utility model is that an arc-shaped intake channel is provided at the intake end of the one-way intake valve.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the mounting seat is installed in the inner cavity of the smart seat, the intake end of the one-way intake valve may be in close contact with the inner wall of the smart seat. The addition of the intake channel can ensure that the intake end of the one-way intake valve can always communicate with the external atmosphere, thus ensuring the smooth intake of the one-way intake valve.

[0021] A further setting of the present utility model is that the elastic positioning structure includes a fixed frame fixedly arranged on the top of the water dispenser main body, and a plurality of elastic clamping pieces that can undergo elastic deformation and are inclined in the inner cavity of the fixed frame. The plurality of elastic clamping pieces are clamped and matched with the bottle body of the water bottle.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of installing the water bottle onto the mounting seat, the bottle body of the water bottle will squeeze the elastic clamping pieces on the inner wall of the fixed frame, causing the elastic clamping pieces around to undergo elastic deformation and accumulate elastic potential energy. When the water bottle is fixed to the mounting seat, the elastic clamping pieces around use their own elastic potential energy to form a clamping force on the water bottle, thereby firmly clamping the water bottle in the fixed frame, thus improving the anti-shaking property of the water bottle after installation of the present utility model.

[0023] A further setting of the present utility model is that there are four elastic clamping pieces, and the four elastic clamping pieces are circumferentially and equally spaced on the inner cavity side wall of the fixed frame.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the four elastic clamping pieces can abut against the periphery of the water bottle in multiple directions and angles, and when the water bottle is installed on the mounting seat, the elastic clamping pieces equally spaced around the water bottle can ensure that the water bottle is always in the central position of the fixed frame.

[0025] A further setting of the present utility model is that: the elastic clamping piece includes an elastic deformation section and a clamping section. One end of the elastic deformation section is fixedly connected to the fixed frame, the other end of the elastic deformation section is connected to the clamping section, and the clamping section is clamped and cooperated with the bottle body of the water bottle.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the obliquely arranged elastic deformation section can generate different elastic deformations according to the bottle bodies with different diameters. The larger the diameter of the water bottle, the larger the elastic deformation generated, and the corresponding elastic deformation section generates a greater pressing force on the bottle body of the water bottle, so as to realize the adaptive adjustment of the clamping force for water bottles with different diameters.

[0027] To sum up, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] A smart seat communicating with the water supply system is arranged on the main body of the water dispenser. An installation seat is detachably installed in the inner cavity of the smart seat. The installation seat includes a plurality of circular steps with diameters decreasing successively from bottom to top. The bottle mouths of water bottles with different diameters are inserted and cooperated with the corresponding circular steps. And the main body of the water dispenser is provided with an elastic positioning structure. After the water bottle is installed on the installation seat, the elastic positioning structure can also fix the bottle body of the water bottle to prevent the water bottle from tilting during the water supply process due to shaking. It has the effects of being able to adaptively insert and connect water bottles with different calibers to realize water supply and effectively fixing the water bottle to prevent the bottle body from tilting during water supply.

Specific implementation mode

[0036] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] An adaptive water bottle mouth structure of a water dispenser, as Figures 1-4 and Figure 5 shown, includes a water dispenser main body 1. The water dispenser main body 1 is provided with a water supply system and a mounting seat 2. The water dispenser main body 1 is provided with a smart seat 3 communicating with the water supply system. The mounting seat 2 is detachably installed in the smart seat 3. A water flow channel 2a communicating with the inner cavity of the smart seat 3 is penetrated through the middle of the mounting seat 2; the mounting seat 2 includes a plurality of circular steps 21 with diameters decreasing successively from bottom to top. The mouths of water bottles 5 with different diameters are inserted and matched with the corresponding circular steps 21; the water dispenser main body 1 is provided with an elastic positioning structure. When the water bottle 5 is installed on the mounting seat 2, the bottle body of the water bottle 5 is positioned and matched with the elastic positioning structure; in this embodiment, the material of the mounting seat 2 is set as a silica gel material. The mounting seat 2 made of the silica gel material enables each circular step 21 to have a certain elastic deformation ability, which is beneficial to improving the firmness and leak-proofness when the circular steps 21 with different diameters are inserted with the mouths of suitable sizes. In other embodiments, the mounting seat 2 can also be made of other flexible food-grade materials; an embedding groove 21a is opened on the side wall of a circular step 21 at the bottom position of the mounting seat 2, and a sealing ring 211 is installed in the embedding groove 21a. The side wall of the mounting seat 2 is hermetically matched with the inner wall of the smart seat 3 through the sealing ring 211. When the mounting seat 2 is placed in the inner cavity of the smart seat 3, by the sealing effect of the sealing ring 211, it can be ensured that the side wall of the bottommost layer of circular steps 21 of the mounting seat 2 and the side wall of the inner cavity of the smart seat 3 can maintain good water tightness, preventing the situation that water source overflows from the connection gap between the sealing seat and the smart seat 3.

[0038] As Figures 3-5As shown, the mounting base 2 is provided with an air flow channel 2b. The air outlet end of the air flow channel 2b communicates with the upper end surface of the mounting base 2, and the air inlet end of the air flow channel 2b communicates with the side wall of a circular step 21 near the bottom of the mounting base 2. The addition of the air flow channel 2b can balance the air pressure in the water bottle 5, preventing the water bottle 5 from being deformed due to the extrusion of the external atmospheric pressure caused by the decrease of the air pressure in the bottle during the water supply process, and ensuring that the water source in the water bottle 5 can continuously and smoothly flow into the water flow channel 2a of the mounting base 2; An air pressure balance tube 22 made of polytetrafluoroethylene material is inserted into the air flow channel 2b. The air pressure balance tube 22 made of polytetrafluoroethylene material has good anti-deformation ability. When the circular step 21 of the mounting base 2 is inserted and matched with the bottle mouth of the water bottle 5, it may cause elastic deformation of the circular step 21 in the radial direction. The air pressure balance tube 22 made of polytetrafluoroethylene can prevent the air flow channel 2b from being blocked due to this deformation; The air inlet end of the air pressure balance tube 22 is connected with a one-way intake valve 23. The one-way intake valve 23 allows air in the external atmosphere to enter the air pressure balance tube 22 unidirectionally, so that the air pressure in the water bottle 5 is balanced with the external atmospheric pressure; The air inlet end of the one-way intake valve 23 is provided with an arc-shaped intake channel 23a. When the mounting base 2 is installed in the inner cavity of the smart base 3, the air inlet end of the one-way intake valve 23 may be in close contact with the inner wall of the smart base 3. The addition of the intake channel 23a can ensure that the air inlet end of the one-way intake valve 23 can always communicate with the external atmosphere, thus ensuring the smooth intake of the one-way intake valve 23.

[0039] As Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, the elastic positioning structure includes a fixed frame 4 fixedly arranged on the top of the water dispenser main body 1, and a plurality of elastic clamping pieces 41 which are inclined in the inner cavity of the fixed frame 4 and can undergo elastic deformation. The plurality of elastic clamping pieces 41 are clamped and matched with the body of the water bottle 5. During the process of installing the water bottle 5 onto the mounting seat 2, the body of the water bottle 5 will squeeze the elastic clamping pieces 41 on the inner wall of the fixed frame 4, causing the elastic clamping pieces 41 around to generate elastic deformation and accumulate elastic potential energy. When the water bottle 5 is fixed onto the mounting seat 2, the elastic clamping pieces 41 around utilize their own elastic potential energy to form a clamping force on the water bottle 5, thereby firmly clamping and fixing the water bottle 5 within the fixed frame 4, thus improving the anti-shaking property of the water bottle 5 after installation of the present utility model; there are four elastic clamping pieces 41, and the four elastic clamping pieces 41 are circumferentially and equally spaced on the inner cavity side wall of the fixed frame 4. The four elastic clamping pieces 41 can abut against the periphery of the water bottle 5 in multiple directions and angles. When the water bottle 5 is installed on the mounting seat 2, the elastic clamping pieces 41 equally spaced around the water bottle 5 can ensure that the water bottle 5 is always in the central position of the fixed frame 4; the elastic clamping piece 41 includes an elastic deformation section 411 and a clamping section 412. One end of the elastic deformation section 411 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 4, the other end of the elastic deformation section 411 is connected to the clamping section 412, and the clamping section 412 is clamped and matched with the body of the water bottle 5. The inclined elastic deformation section 411 can generate different sizes of elastic deformation according to the body of different diameters. For the water bottle 5 with a larger diameter, the elastic deformation amount generated is also larger, and the corresponding elastic deformation section 411 generates a greater pressing force on the body of the water bottle 5, thereby realizing the adaptive adjustment of the clamping force for water bottles 5 of different diameters.

[0040] The basic working principle of the present utility model is as follows: A smart seat 3 communicating with the water supply system is arranged on the water dispenser main body 1. An installation seat 2 is detachably installed in the inner cavity of the smart seat 3. The installation seat 2 includes a plurality of circular steps 21 with diameters decreasing successively from bottom to top. The bottle mouths of water bottles 5 of different diameters are inserted and matched with the corresponding circular steps 21. During use, first open the bottle cap of the water bottle 5, and align the bottle mouth of the water bottle 5 with the circular step 21 adapted to the installation seat 2 and insert them together to realize the fixed connection between the water bottle 5 and the installation seat 2. The liquid in the water bottle 5 flows into the smart seat 3 through the water flow channel 2a of the installation seat 2, and then the water flows through the smart seat 3 into the water supply system. The present utility model can realize the insertion and water supply of water bottles 5 with different bottle mouth diameters by arranging circular steps 21 with different diameters on the installation seat 2 for insertion and positioning. In addition, when the water bottle 5 is installed on the installation seat 2, the elastic positioning structure can also fix the body of the water bottle 5 to prevent the water bottle 5 from tilting during the water supply process due to shaking. It has the effects of being able to adaptively insert and supply water bottles of different calibers and effectively fixing the water bottle to prevent the body of the bottle from tilting during water supply.
