[0002] The existing liquid supply system has low integration level and complex structure. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The utility model aims to solve the above problems, and thus provides a liquid supply system. The liquid supply system includes a refrigeration device and a cartridge assembly. The refrigeration device includes a housing, a middle blocking member, an evaporator and a blower group. The middle blocking member is disposed in the housing and divides the housing cavity in the housing into a first cavity and a second cavity. The evaporator is disposed in the middle blocking member and can cool the air flowing through the evaporator. The blower group is disposed in the middle blocking member and can send the air cooled by the evaporator into the first cavity and the second cavity. The cartridge assembly includes a rack, a cartridge, a partition and a blocking member. The cartridge has an upper opening. The partition is disposed on the rack and can move relative to the rack. The blocking member is disposed on the partition so that when the cartridge is disposed between the rack and the partition, at least a part of the blocking member can extend into the upper opening to prevent the cartridge from disengaging from the rack.

[0004] Further, the middle blocking member includes a first partition and a second partition. The first partition and the second partition are vertically disposed in the housing at an interval to form a middle column cavity. The evaporator and the blower group are disposed in the middle column cavity between the first partition and the second partition.

[0005] Further, the blower group includes a first blower and a second blower. A first opening is provided on the first partition, and the first blower can send air into the first cavity through the first opening. A second opening is provided on the second partition, and the second blower can send air into the second cavity through the second opening. The first opening and the second opening are disposed above the evaporator. A third opening is provided on the first partition, and the air in the first cavity can return to the middle column cavity through the third opening. A fourth opening is provided on the second partition, and the air in the second cavity can return to the middle column cavity through the fourth opening. The third opening and the fourth opening are disposed below the evaporator.

[0006] Further, the rack includes a lower plate, a first retaining member, and a second retaining member. The partition plate is spaced apart from the lower plate by a distance via the first retaining member and the second retaining member for accommodating the cartridge.

[0009] Further, the liquid supply system further includes a disinfected water box and a cleaning water pipe. The disinfected water box is connected to the introduction pipeline in a switchable manner, so that the liquid in the disinfected water box can flow out from the lead-out pipeline after passing through the introduction pipeline, the first liquid supply pipeline, the flushing joint and the second liquid supply pipeline, thereby cleaning the first liquid supply pipeline and the second liquid supply pipeline. The cleaning water pipe is connected to the introduction pipeline in a switchable manner, so that the liquid in the cleaning water pipe can flow out from the lead-out pipeline after passing through the introduction pipeline, the first liquid supply pipeline, the flushing joint and the second liquid supply pipeline, thereby cleaning the first liquid supply pipeline and the second liquid supply pipeline.

The flushing joint is provided with at least one groove, and the groove is correspondingly arranged with the pair of pipes. When the pipeline assembly and the flushing joint are connected together, the groove can communicate the pair of pipes, so that the first liquid supply pipeline is communicated with the second liquid supply pipeline through the groove.

[0011] Further, the pipeline assembly further includes a base, and the at least a pair of pipes penetrate through the base. The flushing joint assembly further includes a connection structure arranged between the base and the flushing joint, so that the base and the flushing joint are detachably connected. The connection structure includes an internal thread arranged in a hole on the base and an external thread arranged on a column on the flushing joint.

[0012] Further, the liquid supply system further includes a pipeline joint, and the pipeline joint includes a pipe body, a protruding circular ring and a protruding elliptical ring. The pipe body defines a pipe channel extending along the pipe axis direction. The protruding circular ring is arranged on the pipe body. The protruding elliptical ring is arranged on the pipe body.

[0048] Some exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described for purposes of illustration. It is to be understood that the present invention can be implemented in other ways not specifically shown in the drawings.

[0049] As Figure 1-3 shown, the liquid supply system of the present invention includes a liquid storage part 1 and a liquid discharge part 2. The liquid storage part 1 includes a refrigeration device and a cartridge assembly. The cartridge assembly is used to store liquid. The refrigeration device is used to cool the liquid. The liquid discharge part 2 includes a pipe assembly 410 and a liquid discharge cavity 3. The pipe assembly 410 is in fluid communication with the cartridge 130 in the cartridge assembly, so that the liquid in the cartridge 130 can flow out through the pipe assembly 410. The user can place a container such as a cup in the liquid discharge cavity 3 and align the container with the pipe assembly 410 so that the liquid in the cartridge 130 flows into the container.

[0050] Next, refer to Figure 4-7 to introduce the refrigeration device:

[0051] As Figure 4 shown, the liquid storage part 1 includes a refrigeration device. The refrigeration device includes a housing 10. A housing cavity is defined in the housing 10. The housing 10 includes a left plate 101, a right plate 102, an upper plate 103, a lower plate 104, a rear plate 105, and a middle column 106. The left plate 101 and the right plate 102 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides. The upper plate 103 and the lower plate 104 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides. The middle column 106 and the rear plate 105 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides. The left plate 101, the upper plate 103, the right plate 102, and the lower plate 104 are sequentially connected in the circumferential direction to enclose. The left plate 101, the upper plate 103, the right plate 102, and the lower plate 104 are respectively connected to the rear plate 105 to form a housing cavity with a front opening. The middle column 106 is vertically arranged between the upper plate 103 and the lower plate 104 and is connected to both of them. The housing 10 further includes a first door 11 and a second door 12. The first door 11 and the second door 12 can move or rotate relative to the middle column 106.

[0052] As Figure 5-6As shown in the figure, the refrigeration device of the present utility model further includes a middle blocking member 13. The middle blocking member 13 is arranged in the housing 10 and connected to the middle column 106 and the rear plate 105, thereby dividing the housing cavity into a first cavity 21 and a second cavity 22. The first door 11 and the second door 12 are correspondingly arranged with the first cavity 21 and the second cavity 22, so as to be able to open or close the first cavity 21 and the second cavity 22. The middle blocking member 13 includes a first partition plate 41 and a second partition plate 42. The first partition plate 41, the second partition plate 42, the left plate 101 and the right plate 102 are arranged in parallel. The first partition plate 41 and the second partition plate 42 are vertically arranged in the housing cavity at an interval, so as to form a middle column cavity together with the middle column 106 and the rear plate 105.

[0053] As Figure 5-7 shown in the figure, the refrigeration device of the present utility model further includes an evaporator 30 and a fan group. The evaporator 30 and the fan group are arranged in the middle column cavity of the middle blocking member 13. The evaporator 30 can cool the air flowing through it. The fan group can send the air cooled by the evaporator 30 into the first cavity 21 and the second cavity 22. The fan group includes a first fan 31 and a second fan 32. The first partition plate 41 is provided with a first opening 51 and a third opening 61. The second partition plate 42 is provided with a second opening 52 and a fourth opening 62. The first opening 51 and the second opening 52 are arranged at the same height and respectively correspond to the first fan 31 and the second fan 32. The first fan 31 and the second fan 32 are arranged above the evaporator 30. The third opening 61 and the fourth opening 62 are arranged below the evaporator 30. The first fan 31 can send the air cooled by the evaporator 30 into the first cavity 21 through the first opening 51. The air in the first cavity 21 can return to the middle column cavity through the third opening 61 and be cooled by the evaporator 30 again. The second fan 32 can send the air cooled by the evaporator 30 into the second cavity 22 through the second opening 52. The air in the second cavity 22 can return to the middle column cavity through the fourth opening 62 and be cooled by the evaporator 30 again.

[0054] The refrigeration device of the present utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0055] First, the evaporator and the fan of the refrigeration device of the present utility model are arranged between the first cavity and the second cavity. When frosting occurs at the evaporator, the operator can open the door of the refrigeration device to process the frosted part without taking out all the items in the refrigeration device.

[0056] Second, the structure of the refrigeration device of the present utility model is simple. By arranging the evaporator between the first cavity and the second cavity, the thickness of the refrigeration device is reduced, so as to reduce the overall volume of the refrigeration device.

[0057] Next, refer to Figure 8-11 to introduce the box assembly:

[0058] As Figure 8-9 shown, the box assembly of the present utility model includes a frame 110, a partition 120, a box 130, and a blocking member 140. The frame 110 includes a lower plate 111, a left side plate 112, a rear plate 113, an upper plate 114, and a right side plate 115. The lower plate 111, the left side plate 112, the rear plate 113, the upper plate 114, and the right side plate 115 are connected and enclosed to form a frame, thereby forming an outer frame with a front outlet. The partition 120 is disposed on the frame 110, thereby dividing the space in the frame 110 into at least two parts. The partition 120 and the lower plate 111 form a space 121, and the box 130 can extend into the space 121. The distance between the partition 120 and the lower plate 111 is adapted to the height of the box 130. The distance between the partition 120 and the lower plate 111 is greater than or slightly greater than the height of the box 130. The box 130 has an upper opening 131. When the box 130 extends into the space 121, the partition 120 can serve as a cover for the box 130, thereby blocking at least a part of the upper opening 131. The blocking member 140 is disposed on the partition 120. When the box 130 extends into the space 121, at least a part of the blocking member 140 can extend into the upper opening 131, thereby preventing the box 130 from coming out of the frame 110.

[0059] As Figure 8-9 shown, the box assembly of the present utility model further includes a first retaining member 122 and a second retaining member 123. The partition 120 is spaced apart from the lower plate 111 by a distance via the first retaining member 122 and the second retaining member 123 to form the above-mentioned space 121. In the present utility model, the first retaining member 122 is the above-mentioned left side plate 112. The upper end of the second retaining member 123 is connected to the upper plate 114 and extends downward from the lower surface of the upper plate 114.

[0060] As Figure 8-9As shown, the partition 120 of the present utility model can move relative to the rack 110. A first opening 151 is provided on the first retaining member 122. A second opening 152 is provided on the second retaining member 123. Both the first opening 151 and the second opening 152 face upward for receiving the partition 120. The partition 120 is provided with a first protrusion 161 and a second protrusion 162 adapted to the first opening 151 and the second opening 152. The first protrusion 161 extends leftward from the left edge of the partition 120. The second protrusion 162 extends rightward from the right edge of the partition 120. The size of the first opening 151 is greater than or slightly greater than the size of the first protrusion 161, and the size of the second opening 152 is greater than or slightly greater than the size of the second protrusion 162, so that the first protrusion 161 and the second protrusion 162 can be held in the first opening 151 and the second opening 152 by gravity. When the partition 120 is subjected to an external force, especially an external force from bottom to top, the partition 120 can move upward relative to the rack 110, thereby increasing the distance between the partition 120 and the rack 110.

[0061] As Figure 9 shown, the blocking member 140 is disposed below the partition 120, so that when the blocking member 140 is disposed on the rack 110, the distance between the blocking member 140 and the lower plate 111 is less than the height of the box 130. The blocking member 140 of the present utility model is strip-shaped and is disposed obliquely to the partition 120. The blocking member 140 is connected to the lower surface of the partition 120 and extends obliquely away from the lower surface of the partition 120 (i.e., backward). The first end of the blocking member 140 is connected to the blocking member 140, and the first end of the blocking member 140 extends downward toward the lower plate 111 along the direction in which the box 130 enters the rack 110 (i.e., backward).

[0062] As Figure 10 shown, when the box 130 enters the space 121 formed by the rack 110 and the partition 120, the box 130 moves backward until the rear wall 132 of the box 130 contacts the blocking member 140. Since the blocking member 140 is disposed obliquely to the partition 120, the box 130 will apply an upward force to the blocking member 140, so that the partition 120 moves upward relative to the rack 110 and away from the lower plate 111. The blocking member 140 also moves upward as the partition 120 moves upward, the distance between the blocking member 140 and the lower plate 111 increases, the blocking member 140 no longer obstructs the box 130, and the box 130 enters the space 121.

[0063] As Figure 10 shown, when the rear wall 132 of the box 130 passes over the blocking member 140. The partition 120 and the blocking member 140 are re-held in place due to gravity. The blocking member 140 enters the upper opening 131 of the box 130.

[0064] As Figure 11As shown, when the user pulls the cartridge 130 to access the contents of the cartridge 130, the blocking member 140 blocks the rear wall 132 of the cartridge 130, thereby preventing the cartridge 130 from disengaging from the rack 110.

[0065] The cartridge assembly of the present utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0066] First, the cartridge assembly of the present utility model has a simple structure and is convenient to install.

[0067] Second, the cartridge assembly of the present utility model can prevent the cartridge from disengaging from the rack.

[0068] Third, the operator can operate with one hand to place the cartridge of the present utility model in place on the rack.

[0069] Although in the present utility model, a plurality of stacked racks 110 are placed in the housing cavity, in other embodiments, the lower plate 111, the left side plate 112, the rear plate 113, the upper plate 114 and / or the right side plate 115 of the rack 110 can be formed by at least a part of the housing 10 of the refrigeration device, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and expanding the space for storing the cartridges 130.

[0070] As Figure 1-3 shown, for the pipe assembly 410 to be in fluid communication with the cartridge 130 in the cartridge assembly, it is necessary to make the connecting pipe pass through the housing 10 of the refrigeration device. For example, it needs to pass through the upper plate 103 of the housing 10. The liquid supply system of the present utility model further includes a pipe joint, so that the connecting pipe located in the liquid storage part 1 can be connected to the connecting pipe located in the liquid outlet part 2.

[0071] Next, refer to Figure 12-17 to introduce the pipe joint:

[0072] As Figure 12-14 shown, the pipe joint of the present utility model includes a pipe body 310, a protruding circular ring 311 and a protruding elliptical ring 312. The pipe body 310 has a pipe axis. The pipe body 310 defines a pipe channel 320 extending along the pipe axis direction. Both ends of the pipe body 310 can be connected to a first pipe (for example, the connecting pipe located in the liquid storage part 1) and a second pipe (for example, the connecting pipe located in the liquid outlet part 2), so that a liquid (for example, beverage concentrate, flushing liquid) flows from the first pipe into the second pipe through the pipe joint. The protruding circular ring 311 and the protruding elliptical ring 312 are arranged on the pipe body 310 and are spaced apart by a distance in the pipe axis direction. This distance is greater than the thickness of the upper plate 103.

[0073] As Figure 12-14As shown, the pipe body 310 is a circular pipe. The outer contour of the protruding circular ring 311 is circular. The outer contour of the protruding elliptical ring 312 is elliptical. The pipe body 310, the protruding circular ring 311, and the protruding elliptical ring 312 are coaxially arranged. That is, the centers of the pipe body 310, the protruding circular ring 311, and the protruding elliptical ring 312 are on the same straight line. The diameter of the outer contour of the protruding circular ring 311 is called the outer diameter of the protruding circular ring 311. The outer contour of the protruding elliptical ring 312 has a major axis and a minor axis. The major axis is the distance between the two farthest points on the outer contour of the protruding elliptical ring 312. The minor axis is the distance between the two closest points on the outer contour of the protruding elliptical ring 312. The major axis and the minor axis are perpendicular. The major axis is greater than the minor axis. The outer diameter of the protruding circular ring 311 is greater than or equal to the major axis of the protruding elliptical ring 312. The outer diameter of the protruding circular ring 311 and the minor axis of the protruding elliptical ring 312 are both greater than the outer diameter of the pipe body 310, so that the protruding circular ring 311 and the protruding elliptical ring 312 protrude from the pipe body 310.

[0074] As Figure 15 shown, an elliptical hole 331 is provided on the upper plate 103. The elliptical hole 331 penetrates the upper plate 103 along the thickness direction of the upper plate 103, and the size of the elliptical hole 331 is slightly larger than or equal to the size of the protruding elliptical ring 312, so that the pipe joint can pass through the elliptical hole 331.

[0075] As Figure 16 shown, the process of connecting the pipe joint to the upper plate 103 is as follows:

[0076] The protruding elliptical ring 312 is aligned with the elliptical hole 331 on the upper plate 103, and the protruding elliptical ring 312 is passed through the elliptical hole 331. After the upper plate 103 is arranged between the protruding circular ring 311 and the protruding elliptical ring 312, the pipe joint is rotated. For example, the pipe joint is rotated 90°. In this way, the major axis and the minor axis of the protruding elliptical ring 312 are staggered from the major axis and the minor axis of the elliptical hole 331, and the protruding elliptical ring 312 cannot escape from the elliptical hole 331. On the other side, because the outer diameter of the protruding circular ring 311 is greater than or equal to the major axis of the protruding elliptical ring 312, the protruding circular ring 311 cannot escape from the elliptical hole 331.

[0077] As Figure 12-16 shown in the embodiment, both ends of the pipe body 310 can be connected to the first pipe and the second pipe, so that the liquid (for example, beverage concentrate, flushing liquid) flows from the first pipe into the second pipe through the pipe joint. For example, the first pipe and the second pipe are plastic pipes, which can be inserted at both ends of the pipe body 310.

[0078] As Figure 17 shown in the embodiment, an external thread is provided at one end of the pipe body 310, so that it can be connected to the first pipe or the second pipe. For example, the first pipe or the second pipe is a metal pipe, and an internal thread is provided in the metal pipe, which is matched with the external thread at one end of the pipe body 310 to achieve the connection.

[0079] The pipe joint of the present utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0080] First, the pipe joint of the present utility model can be directly connected to the board and is only one component, with a small number of components.

[0081] Second, no additional threaded components need to be provided on the pipe joint of the present utility model, so that the pipe joint can be connected to the board.

[0082] The liquid supply system of the present utility model needs to be cleaned, especially the cleaning box 130, the pipe assembly 410, and the connecting pipe (for example, the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and the second liquid supply pipeline 232 in the following text) between the cleaning box 130 and the pipe assembly 410. Therefore, the liquid supply system of the present utility model further includes a flushing system. The following refers to Figure 18-19 to introduce the flushing system:

[0083] As Figure 18 shown, the flushing system of the present utility model includes at least a pair of liquid outlet devices. Each pair of liquid outlet devices includes a first box 221, a first liquid supply pipeline 231, a second box 222, and a second liquid supply pipeline 232. The first box 221 is used to accommodate the first liquid. The second box 222 is used to accommodate the second liquid. The first liquid supply pipeline 231 is switchably connected to the first box 221. When the first liquid supply pipeline 231 is connected to the first box 221, the first liquid in the first box 221 flows out through the first liquid supply pipeline 231. The second liquid supply pipeline 232 is switchably connected to the second box 222. When the second liquid supply pipeline 232 is connected to the second box 222, the second liquid in the second box 222 flows out through the second liquid supply pipeline 232.

[0084] As Figure 18 shown, the flushing system of the present utility model further includes an introduction pipeline 241, an extraction pipeline 242, and a flushing joint 210. The introduction pipeline 241 is used to introduce cleaning liquid (for example, disinfectant, clean water). The introduction pipeline 241 is switchably connected to the first liquid supply pipeline 231. The extraction pipeline 242 is switchably connected to the second liquid supply pipeline 232. The flushing joint 210 is detachably connected to the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and the second liquid supply pipeline 232. When the flushing joint 210 connects the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and the second liquid supply pipeline 232, the introduction pipeline 241 is connected to the first liquid supply pipeline 231, and the extraction pipeline 242 is connected to the second liquid supply pipeline 232, the liquid flowing in from the introduction pipeline 241 (for example, disinfectant, clean water) can flow through the first liquid supply pipeline 231, the flushing joint 210, and the second liquid supply pipeline 232 in sequence, so as to disinfect / clean the two liquid supply pipelines at one time.

[0087] As Figure 18 shown, the flushing system of the present utility model further includes a first switching valve 261 and a second switching valve 262. The first switching valve 261 can switchably connect the first box 221 to the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and can switchably connect the introduction pipeline 241 to the first liquid supply pipeline 231, so that it is possible to select whether the first box 221 or the introduction pipeline 241 is connected to the first liquid supply pipeline 231. The second switching valve 262 can switchably connect the second box 222 to the second liquid supply pipeline 232 and can switchably connect the lead-out pipeline 242 to the second liquid supply pipeline 232, so that it is possible to select whether the second box 222 or the lead-out pipeline 242 is connected to the second liquid supply pipeline 232. In the present utility model, the first switching valve 261 and the second switching valve 262 are three-way valves, but any valve or combination of valves that can achieve the above functions of the first switching valve 261 and the second switching valve 262 is within the protection scope of the present utility model. The first switching valve 261 and the second switching valve 262 are solenoid valves.

[0088] As Figure 18 shown, each pair of liquid discharging devices of the flushing system of the present utility model further includes a first pump 271 and a second pump 272. The first pump 271 is arranged on the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and downstream of the first switching valve 261, so that the liquid in the first box 221, the disinfected water box 251, or the cleaning water pipe 252 can all flow through the first pump 271. The second pump 272 is arranged on the second liquid supply pipeline 232 and downstream of the second switching valve 262, so that the liquid in the first box 221, the disinfected water box 251, or the cleaning water pipe 252 can all flow through the second pump 272.

The first on-off valve 263 can connect the disinfected water box 251 to the introduction pipeline 241 in a switchable manner. The second on-off valve 264 can connect the cleaning water pipe 252 to the introduction pipeline 241 in a switchable manner. In the present utility model, the first on-off valve 263 and the second on-off valve 264 are switch valves, but any valve or combination of valves that can achieve the above functions of the first on-off valve 263 and the second on-off valve 264 are within the protection scope of the present utility model. The first on-off valve 263 and the second on-off valve 264 are solenoid valves.

[0090] As Figure 18 shown in the figure, the flushing system of the present utility model further includes a main water supply pipe 243. The main water supply pipe 243 connects the disinfected water box 251 and the cleaning water pipe 252. The first on-off valve 263 and the second on-off valve 264 are arranged on the main water supply pipe 243, and the introduction pipeline 241 is connected to the main water supply pipe 243 between the first on-off valve 263 and the second on-off valve 264.

[0091] As Figure 18As shown, the flushing system of the present utility model has a normal mode, a first cleaning mode, and a second cleaning mode. When the flushing system is in the normal mode, the flushing joint 210 does not connect the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and the second liquid supply pipeline 232. The first liquid supply pipeline 231 is communicated with the first cartridge 221, and the introduction pipeline 241 is disconnected from the first liquid supply pipeline 231, so that the liquid in the first cartridge 221 flows out through the first liquid supply pipeline 231. And the second liquid supply pipeline 232 is communicated with the second cartridge 222, and the lead-out pipeline 242 is disconnected from the second liquid supply pipeline 232, so that the liquid in the second cartridge 222 flows out through the second liquid supply pipeline 232. When the flushing system is in the first cleaning mode, the flushing joint 210 connects the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and the second liquid supply pipeline 232. The first liquid supply pipeline 231 is disconnected from the first cartridge 221, and the second liquid supply pipeline 232 is disconnected from the second cartridge 222. The cleaning water pipe 252 is disconnected from the introduction pipeline 241, and the disinfection water cartridge 251 is communicated with the introduction pipeline 241. The introduction pipeline 241 is communicated with the first liquid supply pipeline 231, and the lead-out pipeline 242 is communicated with the second liquid supply pipeline 232, so that the liquid in the disinfection water cartridge 251 can flow out from the lead-out pipeline 242 after passing through the introduction pipeline 241, the first liquid supply pipeline 231, the flushing joint 210, and the second liquid supply pipeline 232 in sequence. When the flushing system is in the second cleaning mode, the flushing joint 210 connects the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and the second liquid supply pipeline 232. The first liquid supply pipeline 231 is disconnected from the first cartridge 221, and the second liquid supply pipeline 232 is disconnected from the second cartridge 222. The disinfection water cartridge 251 is disconnected from the introduction pipeline 241, and the cleaning water pipe 252 is communicated with the introduction pipeline 241. The introduction pipeline 241 is communicated with the first liquid supply pipeline 231, and the lead-out pipeline 242 is communicated with the second liquid supply pipeline 232, so that the liquid in the cleaning water pipe 252 can flow out from the lead-out pipeline 242 after passing through the introduction pipeline 241, the first liquid supply pipeline 231, the flushing joint 210, and the second liquid supply pipeline 232 in sequence.

[0092] As Figure 19As shown in the figure, the flushing system of the present utility model further includes a main return pipe 244, a third on-off valve 265, and a fourth on-off valve 266. The main return pipe 244 is connected to the disinfection water box 251 and the cleaning water pipe 252. The third on-off valve 265 and the fourth on-off valve 266 are arranged on the main return pipe 244, and the lead-out pipe 242 is connected to the main return pipe 244 between the third on-off valve 265 and the fourth on-off valve 266.

The fourth on-off valve 266 can connect the cleaning water pipe 252 to the lead-out pipe 242 in a switchable manner. In the present utility model, the third on-off valve 265 and the fourth on-off valve 266 are switch valves, but any valve or combination of valves that can achieve the above functions of the third on-off valve 265 and the fourth on-off valve 266 are within the protection scope of the present utility model. The third on-off valve 265 and the fourth on-off valve 266 are solenoid valves.

[0093] The introduction pipe, the lead-out pipe, the first switching valve, and the second switching valve of the flushing system of the present utility model are arranged corresponding to each pair of liquid output devices.

[0094] The flushing system of the present utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0095] First, the structure of the flushing system of the present utility model is simple. During cleaning, the operator only needs to install the flushing joint, reducing the operation steps of the operator.

[0096] Second, the flushing system of the present utility model can clean the pipelines in units of "pairs", thereby reducing the consumption of cleaning liquids (such as disinfectant and clean water).

[0097] The flushing joint 210 in the above flushing system is specifically matched with the first liquid supply pipe 231 and the second liquid supply pipe 232, which will be introduced with reference to Figure 20-24 and introduced in combination with the flushing joint assembly in the following text:

[0098] As Figure 20 shown, the flushing joint assembly of the present utility model includes a pipeline assembly 410 and a flushing joint 210. The pipeline assembly 410 and the flushing joint 210 are detachably connected through a connection structure. When the pipeline assembly 410 needs to be flushed, the flushing joint 210 is connected to the pipeline assembly 410. When the pipeline assembly 410 normally outputs liquid, the flushing joint 210 is removed from the pipeline assembly 410.

[0099] As Figure 20-21As shown, the pipe assembly 410 includes a base 413 and at least a pair of pipes. The at least a pair of pipes are disposed on the base 413 and penetrate through the base 413, such that the liquid flowing in the at least a pair of pipes can flow from one side of the base 413 to the other side. In an embodiment of the present utility model, the base 413 is a plate. In other embodiments, the base 413 may also be of other shapes.

[0100] As Figure 20-21 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the pipe assembly 410 includes a plurality of pairs of pipes and is arranged in a form that is roughly divided into two groups. In other embodiments, the pipe assembly 410 including at least a pair of pipes can cooperate with the flushing joint 210 of the present utility model.

[0101] As Figure 20-21 and Figure 24 shown, each pair of pipes includes a first liquid supply line 231 and a second liquid supply line 232. When the pipe assembly 410 normally outputs liquid, the liquid in both the first liquid supply line 231 and the second liquid supply line 232 flows from one side of the base 413 to the other side. When the pipe assembly 410 needs to be flushed, the flushing joint 210 is connected to the pipe assembly 410, such that the first liquid supply line 231 and the second liquid supply line 232 are connected in series. The cleaning liquid (e.g., water) can flow through the first liquid supply line 231 and then into the flushing joint 210, and subsequently into the second liquid supply line 232, thereby cleaning a pair of pipes at one time. In other embodiments, the cleaning liquid (e.g., water) can flow through the second liquid supply line 232 and then into the flushing joint 210, and subsequently into the first liquid supply line 231, thereby cleaning a pair of pipes at one time.

[0102] As Figure 20-21 shown, the connection structure includes a first hole 14 and a second hole 15. The first hole 14 and the second hole 15 are disposed on the base 413 on both sides of the at least a pair of pipes and penetrate through the base 413. Threads are provided on the circumferential wall surfaces of the first hole 14 and the second hole 15 to form internal threads for cooperating with the flushing joint 210 to form a detachable connection.

[0103] As Figure 20 、 Figure 22 and Figure 24 shown, the flushing joint 210 is generally a cuboid. At least one groove 421 is provided on the flushing joint 210. Each groove 421 is correspondingly disposed with a pair of pipes, such that when the pipe assembly 410 and the flushing joint 210 are connected together, the groove 421 can communicate with its corresponding pair of pipes. As described above, the groove 421 can communicate with the first liquid supply line 231 and the second liquid supply line 232 in its corresponding pair of pipes. Each groove 421 is recessed from the outer surface of the flushing joint 210 and can accommodate at least a part of its corresponding first liquid supply line 231 and at least a part of the second liquid supply line 232.

[0104] As Figure 22 shown, when at least two slots 421 are provided on the flushing joint 210, the at least two slots 421 are each recessed inwardly from the same outer surface of the flushing joint 210. In the present utility model, each slot 421 is recessed downwardly from the upper surface of the flushing joint 210.

[0105] As Figure 20 and Figure 22 shown, the circumferential dimension of each slot 421 is greater than the outer dimension of the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and the outer dimension of the second liquid supply pipeline 232, so that at least a part of the first liquid supply pipeline 231 and at least a part of the second liquid supply pipeline 232 can be received in their corresponding slots 421.

[0106] As Figure 20 and Figure 22 shown, the connection structure includes a first post 422 and a second post 423. The first post 422 and the second post 423 are provided on the flushing joint 210. Threads are provided on the circumferential wall surfaces of the first post 422 and the second post 423, so as to form external threads for cooperating with the internal threads of the first hole 14 and the second hole 15, thereby forming a detachable connection.

[0107] As Figure 20 and Figure 22-23 shown, the first post 422 is connected to the first knob 24, and the second post 423 is connected to the second knob 25, so that when the first knob 24 rotates, the first post 422 also rotates, and when the second knob 25 rotates, the second post 423 also rotates. The external threads of the first knob 24 and the first post 422 are provided on opposite sides of the flushing joint 210, and the external threads of the second knob 25 are provided on opposite sides of the flushing joint 210. The user can rotate the first post 422 and the second post 423 by rotating the first knob 24 and the second knob 25, so as to connect or disconnect the base 413 from the flushing joint 210.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present utility model, the number of the posts and the knobs are correspondingly provided, and the number of the external threads and the internal threads are correspondingly provided. In other embodiments, at least one post and the knobs, external threads and internal threads corresponding to its number are sufficient.

[0109] As Figure 20 and Figure 22-23 shown, the flushing joint assembly further includes a hand-held rod 426. The hand-held rod 426 is connected to the flushing joint 210, so that the user can well hold the flushing joint 210 in place during the process of connecting the pipeline assembly 410 and the flushing joint 210. The hand-held rod 426 and the external threads are provided on opposite sides of the flushing joint 210.

[0110] The flushing joint assembly of the present utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0111] First, the flushing joint assembly of the present utility model has a simple structure and is convenient to install.

[0112] Second, the flushing joint assembly of the present utility model can clean at least a pair of tubes at one time, improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0113] Third, the flushing joint assembly of the present utility model can save the consumption of cleaning agents (such as disinfectants, scale removers, clear water, etc.), because the cleaning agent flushed at one time can clean more tubes.

[0114] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present utility model should still be covered by the claims of the present utility model.
