Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of drinking water equipment, and particularly to a condensation module and a drinking water equipment. Background Art

[0002] The current distillation drinking water machine first heats water to evaporate it into water vapor, and then condenses the water vapor into liquid water to facilitate users to drink water without impurities. Among them, in order to condense the water vapor into liquid water, heat sinks are usually arranged on the condensation pipe into which the water vapor flows, and a cooling fan is arranged on one side to blow air for cooling. However, this condensation method has a poor condensation effect and cannot ensure that all the water flowing out of the condensation pipe is liquid water. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a condensation module and a drinking water equipment to at least solve one of the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art or related art.

[0004] The first aspect embodiment of the present utility model provides a condensation module for a drinking water equipment. The condensation module includes: a cold water tank for storing water; a refrigeration component arranged on the cold water tank for cooling the water in the cold water tank; a condensation pipe arranged in the cold water tank and penetrating the cold water tank, and the condensation pipe is used for the water vapor to flow in and exchange heat with the water in the cold water tank to condense the water vapor into liquid water.

[0005] The condensation module provided by the embodiment of this aspect includes a cold water tank, and a refrigeration component is arranged on the cold water tank to cool the water in the cold water tank by using the refrigeration component, which is beneficial to making the temperature of the water in the cold water tank lower than the normal temperature to obtain cold water. Moreover, the condensation pipe is arranged on the cold water tank and penetrates the cold water tank. During the flow of the water vapor in the condensation pipe, the cold water in the cold water tank can exchange heat with the water vapor through the condensation pipe, quickly reducing the temperature of the water vapor and condensing the water vapor into liquid water. The condensation effect is good, which is beneficial to ensuring that all the water flowing out of the condensation pipe is liquid water rather than water vapor.

[0006] In some embodiments, the condensation pipe is erected on the cold water tank, and the inlet of the condensation pipe is close to the top of the cold water tank. This is convenient for the liquid water in the condensation pipe to flow out smoothly by gravity, avoiding a large amount of water accumulation in the condensation pipe.

[0007] In some embodiments, the condensation pipe includes an inlet section, an outlet section, and a condensation section that bends and extends between the inlet section and the outlet section. The condensation pipe is not a straight pipe, and its condensation section bends and extends in the cold water tank, which can extend the condensation path, facilitating the full heat exchange between the water vapor and the cold water to condense into liquid water, and improving the condensation effect.

[0008] In some embodiments, the condensation section is spirally distributed. The condensation path is long, so that water vapor can fully exchange heat with cold water, and it is convenient for the condensed liquid water to flow downward quickly and smoothly along the spirally distributed condensation section.

[0009] In some embodiments, the refrigeration assembly includes: a thermoelectric cooler disposed on the cold water tank; an inner heat sink disposed at the cold end of the thermoelectric cooler and located inside the cold water tank; an outer heat sink disposed at the hot end of the thermoelectric cooler and located outside the cold water tank; and a cooling fan disposed outside the cold water tank for guiding air flow to dissipate heat from the outer heat sink.

[0010] In these embodiments, the thermoelectric cooler is used in combination with the inner heat sink, the outer heat sink and the cooling fan for refrigeration, and the refrigeration effect is good. Moreover, the condensation rate can be adjusted by changing the number of heat sinks and the rotation speed of the cooling fan to ensure the condensation effect. In addition, compared with using a compressor in combination with a refrigerant for refrigeration, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and it is convenient for sealing.

[0011] In some embodiments, a heat insulation layer is provided on the outer side of the cold water tank. It can block the influence of the external environmental temperature on the temperature of the water in the cold water tank and ensure that the water in the cold water tank remains at a low temperature.

[0012] In some embodiments, an inlet and an outlet are further provided on the cold water tank. The inlet of the cold water tank is used for distilled water to enter, and the outlet of the cold water tank is used to connect to the cold water outlet of the drinking water device.

[0013] In these embodiments, the cold water tank is used to store distilled water. The distilled water is free of impurities and convenient for users to drink. Therefore, when the refrigeration assembly cools the water stored in the cold water tank, cold distilled water can be obtained, which is convenient to provide cold distilled water to the cold water outlet of the drinking water device, realizing the function of the drinking water device to provide cold water. Among them, the refrigeration assembly only cools the distilled water to realize the function of condensing water vapor by using the cold distilled water, and can also provide cold water for users, eliminating the need to additionally configure a cooling device to cool the liquid water after the water vapor is liquefied and then supply it to users, reducing parts and saving costs.

[0014] An embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention provides a drinking water device, which includes: a water supply module; a condensation module as described in any one of the above embodiments; and a distillation module, the distillation module is connected between the outlet of the water supply module and the inlet of the condensation tube, and the distillation module is used to evaporate the water provided by the water supply module into water vapor; a clean water tank, the inlet of the clean water tank is connected to the outlet of the condensation tube for storing the liquid water after the water vapor is condensed.

[0015] The drinking water device provided by the embodiment of this aspect has the beneficial effects of any one of the above embodiments due to having the condensation module described above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0016] In a specific application, the water supply module supplies water to the distillation module. After the distillation module heats the water to generate water vapor, the water vapor enters the condenser tube and is liquefied by the cold water in the cold water tank, then flows into the purified water tank to obtain distilled water.

[0017] In some embodiments, the distillation module includes: a quartz tube heating body, which includes a quartz tube and a heating body located outside the quartz tube. The inlet of the quartz tube is connected to the outlet of the water supply module, and the outlet of the quartz tube is connected to the inlet of the condenser tube.

[0018] Here, using a quartz tube heating body to heat the liquid can achieve a rapid heating effect, which is beneficial to quickly heating the liquid flowing into the quartz tube into water vapor and preventing the liquid from flowing out of the quartz tube. In addition, a protective layer can be provided around the heating body to prevent the heating body from being exposed and affecting other surrounding components.

[0019] In some embodiments, a first outlet is provided on the purified water tank, and the first outlet is connected to the inlet of the cold water tank for supplying distilled water to the cold water tank; the drinking water device further includes a cold water outlet, and the outlet of the cold water tank is connected to the cold water outlet.

[0020] In these embodiments, the water in the cold water tank is provided by the purified water tank. Since the water in the purified water tank is distilled water, which is clean and impurity-free, the cold distilled water in the cold water tank can be safely supplied for users to drink. The cold water required by the users is drawn from the cold water tank, ensuring safe drinking. Moreover, the cold distilled water in the cold water tank can also condense the water vapor in the condenser tube, achieving two functions and saving resources. Also, it eliminates the need for an additional cooling device to cool the liquid water after the water vapor is liquefied and then supply it to users, reducing components and saving costs.

[0021] In some embodiments, a second outlet is provided on the purified water tank, and the drinking water device further includes a hot water outlet and a heating module. The heating module is connected between the second outlet and the hot water outlet.

[0022] In these embodiments, the distilled water in the purified water tank can flow to the heating module to be heated and then flow to the hot water outlet, realizing the function of the drinking water device to provide hot water and ensuring safe drinking.

[0023] In some embodiments, a third outlet is provided on the purified water tank, and the drinking water device further includes a warm water outlet, and the third outlet is connected to the warm water outlet. Since the purified water stored in the purified water tank is distilled water and its temperature is not too high, the longer the distillation module is not started, the more the temperature of the distilled water in the purified water tank tends to be room temperature. Therefore, the temperature of the distilled water in the purified water tank is very easy to meet or approach the warm water temperature required by users. Therefore, here, the purified water tank is directly used for water supply, which is convenient for users to quickly obtain warm water.

[0024] In some embodiments, the purified water tank is located below the condensation module, and the water supply module is located below the distillation module. The purified water tank and the water supply module are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and the condensation module and the distillation module are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.

[0025] In these embodiments, the purified water tank is located below the condensation module, facilitating the smooth inflow of the liquid water flowing out of the condensation tube into the purified water tank under the action of gravity. The water supply module is located below the distillation module, so that the upward flow rate of the liquid will not be too fast, which is conducive to the distillation module to completely evaporate the liquid into water vapor. In addition, arranging the purified water tank and the water supply module side by side in the horizontal direction, and arranging the condensation module and the distillation module side by side in the horizontal direction, the structure is compact, which is conducive to realizing a drinking water device with a small volume.

[0051] Next, in combination with Figures 1 to 6 the condensation module 10 and the drinking water device provided by the embodiments of the present utility model will be introduced.

[0052] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model provides a condensation module 10 for a drinking water device. The condensation module 10 includes: a cold water tank 110 for storing water; a refrigeration assembly 120 disposed on the cold water tank 110 for cooling the water in the cold water tank 110; and a condensation pipe 130 disposed in and passing through the cold water tank 110, the condensation pipe 130 for allowing water vapor to flow in and exchange heat with the water in the cold water tank 110 to condense the water vapor into liquid water.

[0053] The condensation module 10 provided by the embodiments of this aspect includes a cold water tank 110, and a refrigeration component 120 is arranged on the cold water tank 110. The refrigeration component 120 is used to cool the water in the cold water tank 110, which is beneficial to making the temperature of the water in the cold water tank 110 lower than the normal temperature to obtain cold water. Moreover, a condensation pipe 130 is arranged on the cold water tank 110 and penetrates through the cold water tank 110. During the flow of water vapor in the condensation pipe 130, the cold water in the cold water tank 110 can exchange heat with the water vapor through the condensation pipe 130, quickly reducing the temperature of the water vapor and condensing the water vapor into liquid water. The condensation effect is good, which is beneficial to making all the water flowing out of the condensation pipe 130 be liquid water rather than water vapor.

[0054] For the convenience of the liquid water flowing out of the condensation pipe 130, further, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the condensation pipe 130 is erected on the cold water tank 110. The inlet of the condensation pipe 130 is close to the top of the cold water tank 110, and the outlet of the condensation pipe 130 is close to the bottom of the cold water tank 110. It is convenient for the liquid water in the condensation pipe 130 to flow out of the condensation pipe 130 smoothly by gravity, avoiding a large amount of water accumulation in the condensation pipe 130.

[0055] It should be noted that the erection here does not necessarily mean being perpendicular to the bottom wall of the cold water tank 110, and it can also be set slightly inclined, as long as the condensation pipe 130 is not horizontally placed on the cold water tank 110 and the liquid water can flow out of the condensation pipe 130 smoothly by gravity.

[0056] Moreover, making the liquid water flow out of the condensation pipe 130 by its own gravity naturally eliminates the need to equip a water pump to pump out the liquid water at this place, which can avoid the water vapor flowing too fast in the condensation pipe 130 and being unable to be fully condensed.

[0057] To improve the condensation effect, further, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the condensation pipe 130 includes an inlet section, an outlet section, and a condensation section 131 that bends and extends between the inlet section and the outlet section. The condensation pipe 130 is not a straight pipe, and its condensation section 131 bends and extends in the cold water tank 110, which can extend the condensation path, facilitating the full heat exchange between the water vapor and the cold water and condensing into liquid water, thus improving the condensation effect.

[0058] As an example, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the condensation section 131 is spirally distributed. The condensation path is long, the water vapor can fully exchange heat with the cold water, and it is convenient for the condensed liquid water to flow quickly and smoothly downward along the spirally distributed condensation section 131.

[0059] As an example, the condensation section 131 is distributed in an S shape, or at least two S shapes connected end to end. Taking the direction from the inlet section to the outlet section as the first direction, the condensation section 131 extends in the first direction while reciprocatingly flowing in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction, which can extend the condensation path and facilitate the liquefaction of water vapor before flowing out of the condensation tube 130.

[0060] Of course, the specific shape of the condensation section 131 can be various, not limited to the above example.

[0061] In addition, referring to Figure 3 , the inlet section and the outlet section can both be straight sections. The inlet section is vertically inserted into the top wall of the cold water tank 110, and the outlet section is vertically inserted into the bottom wall of the cold water tank 110. This facilitates the installation of the condensation tube 130 and is conducive to the smooth flow of liquid water along the outlet section out of the condensation tube 130.

[0062] Regarding the specific structure of the refrigeration component 120, further, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the refrigeration component 120 includes: a thermoelectric cooler 121 disposed on the cold water tank 110; an inner heat sink 122 disposed at the cold end of the thermoelectric cooler 121 and located inside the cold water tank 110; an outer heat sink 123 disposed at the hot end of the thermoelectric cooler 121 and located outside the cold water tank 110; and a cooling fan 124 disposed outside the cold water tank 110 for guiding air flow to dissipate heat from the outer heat sink 123.

[0063] In these embodiments, the thermoelectric cooler 121 is used in combination with the inner heat sink 122, the outer heat sink 123, and the cooling fan 124 for refrigeration, and the refrigeration effect is good. Moreover, the condensation rate can be adjusted by changing the number of heat sinks and the rotation speed of the cooling fan 124 to ensure the condensation effect. In addition, compared with using a compressor in combination with a refrigerant for refrigeration, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and it is convenient for sealing.

[0064] Further, both the inner heat sink 122 and the outer heat sink 123 are designed in a fin shape, which can absorb and dissipate heat faster.

[0065] Of course, the structure of the refrigeration component 120 is not limited to the above embodiments, as long as the refrigeration effect can be achieved, it meets the basic requirements of this design.

[0066] Further, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , a heat insulation layer 140 is provided on the outer side of the cold water tank 110. It can block the influence of the external environmental temperature on the temperature of the water in the cold water tank 110 and ensure that the water in the cold water tank 110 remains at a low temperature.

[0067] Further, in some embodiments, an inlet and an outlet are further provided on the cold water tank 110. The inlet of the cold water tank 110 is for distilled water to enter, and the outlet of the cold water tank 110 is for connecting to the cold water outlet 611 of the drinking water device.

[0068] In these embodiments, the cold water tank 110 is used to store distilled water. The distilled water is impurity-free and convenient for users to drink. Thus, when the refrigeration component 120 cools the water stored in the cold water tank 110, cold distilled water can be obtained, which is convenient to provide cold distilled water to the cold water outlet 611 of the drinking water device, realizing the function of the drinking water device to provide cold water. Among them, the refrigeration component 120 only cools the distilled water to realize the function of condensing water vapor with cold distilled water, and can also provide cold water for users, eliminating the need to additionally configure a cooling device to cool the liquid water after the water vapor is liquefied and then supply it to users, reducing components and saving costs.

[0069] Such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the second aspect embodiment of the present utility model provides a drinking water device, which includes: a water supply module 20; a condensation module 10 as in any one of the above embodiments; and a distillation module 30. The distillation module 30 is connected between the outlet of the water supply module 20 and the inlet of the condensation pipe 130. The distillation module 30 is used to evaporate the water provided by the water supply module 20 into water vapor; a water purification tank 40, the inlet of the water purification tank 40 is connected to the outlet of the condensation pipe 130, and is used to store the liquid water after the water vapor is condensed.

[0070] For the drinking water device provided by the embodiments of this aspect, due to having the condensation module 10 of any one of the above embodiments, it thus has the beneficial effects of any one of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0071] In specific applications, the water supply module 20 supplies water to the distillation module 30. After the distillation module 30 heats the water to generate water vapor, the water vapor enters the condensation pipe 130, is liquefied by the cold water in the cold water tank 110, and then flows into the water purification tank 40 to obtain distilled water.

[0072] Further, the water supply module 20 can be directly connected to a water source, such as a faucet. The water supply module 20 can also have its own water storage tank, so that the water storage tank is connected to the distillation module 30, as long as it can supply water to the distillation module 30.

[0073] Further, the distillation module 30 includes a quartz tube heating body. The quartz tube heating body includes a quartz tube and a heating body located outside the quartz tube. The inlet of the quartz tube is connected to the outlet of the water supply module 20, and the outlet of the quartz tube is connected to the inlet of the condensation pipe 130. Here, using the quartz tube heating body to heat water can achieve a rapid heating effect, which is beneficial to quickly heating the water flowing into the quartz tube into water vapor and avoiding the liquid flowing out of the quartz tube. In addition, a protective layer can be provided on the periphery of the heating body to prevent the heating body from being exposed and affecting other surrounding components.

[0074] To enable the drinking water device to provide cold water, further, in some embodiments, a first outlet is provided on the pure water tank 40, and the first outlet is connected to the inlet of the cold water tank 110 for supplying distilled water into the cold water tank 110; the drinking water device further includes a cold water outlet 611, and the outlet of the cold water tank 110 is connected to the cold water outlet 611.

[0075] In these embodiments, the water in the cold water tank 110 is provided by the pure water tank 40. Since the water in the pure water tank 40 is distilled water, which is clean and free of impurities, the cold distilled water in the cold water tank 110 can be safely supplied to users for drinking. The cold water required by users is drawn from the cold water tank 110, ensuring safe drinking. Moreover, the cold distilled water in the cold water tank 110 can also condense the water vapor in the condenser tube 130, achieving two functions and saving resources. Furthermore, it eliminates the need to additionally configure a cooling device to cool the liquid water after the water vapor is liquefied and then supply it to users, reducing components and saving costs.

[0076] To enable the drinking water device to provide hot water, further, in some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a second outlet is provided on the pure water tank 40. The drinking water device further includes a hot water outlet 621 and a heating module 50, and the heating module 50 is connected between the second outlet and the hot water outlet 621.

[0077] In these embodiments, the distilled water in the pure water tank 40 can flow to the heating module 50 to be heated and then flow to the hot water outlet 621, realizing the function of the drinking water device to provide hot water and ensuring safe drinking.

[0078] To enable the cold water device to provide warm water, further, in some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a third outlet is provided on the pure water tank 40. The drinking water device further includes a warm water outlet, and the third outlet is connected to the warm water outlet.

[0079] Since the pure water tank 40 stores distilled water, its temperature is higher than room temperature in most cases, but not too high. After the distillation module 30 is not started for a long time, the distilled water in the pure water tank 40 will tend to room temperature. Therefore, the temperature of the distilled water in the pure water tank 40 is very easy to meet or approach the water temperature required by users. By directly supplying water from the pure water tank 40, it is convenient for users to quickly obtain warm water without waiting for the hot water to cool down and without mixing cold water and hot water.

[0080] Further, in some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the clean water tank 40 is located below the condensation module 10, and the water supply module 20 is located below the distillation module 30. The clean water tank 40 and the water supply module 20 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and the condensation module 10 and the distillation module 30 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.

[0081] In these embodiments, the clean water tank 40 is located below the condensation module 10, facilitating the smooth inflow of the liquid water flowing out of the condensation tube 130 into the clean water tank 40 under the action of gravity. The water supply module 20 is located below the distillation module 30, so that the upward flow rate of the liquid will not be too fast, which is beneficial for the distillation module 30 to completely evaporate the liquid into water vapor. In addition, arranging the clean water tank 40 and the water supply module 20 side by side in the horizontal direction, and arranging the condensation module 10 and the distillation module 30 side by side in the horizontal direction, the structure is compact, which is beneficial to realizing a drinking water device with a small volume.

[0082] Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the drinking water device of the present application will be introduced in detail.

[0083] As Figures 4 to 6 shown, the drinking water device includes a housing 70, a water supply module 20, a distillation module 30, a condensation module 10, a clean water tank 40, and a heating module 50. The water supply module 20, the distillation module 30, the condensation module 10, the clean water tank 40, and the heating module 50 are all arranged inside the housing 70.

[0084] The top of the housing 70 is provided with a first opening and a second opening, and the bottom of the housing 70 is also provided with a third opening.

[0085] As Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, the water supply module 20 includes a water supply pipe 210 and a water supply pump 220 connected to the water supply pipe 210. The inlet 211 of the water supply pipe 210 extends out of the third opening, facilitating the connection to a water source through the water supply pipe 210, and the outlet of the water supply pipe 210 is connected to the distillation module 30.

[0086] The distillation module 30 includes a quartz tube heating body. The quartz tube heating body includes a quartz tube and a heating body located outside the quartz tube. The outlet of the water supply pipe 210 is connected to the inlet of the quartz tube, and the outlet of the quartz tube is connected to the condensation module 10 through a first pipeline 801.

[0087] As Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the condensation module 10 includes a cold water tank 110, a refrigeration component 120 disposed on the cold water tank 110, and a condensation pipe 130. The refrigeration component 120 is used to cool the water in the cold water tank 110. The condensation pipe 130 penetrates through the cold water tank 110 and spirally extends downward in the middle. The condensation pipe 130 is used for steam to flow in and exchange heat with the water in the cold water tank 110 to condense the steam into liquid water. The outlet of the quartz tube is connected to the inlet of the condensation pipe 130 through the first pipeline 801, and the outlet of the condensation pipe 130 extends into the water purification tank 40 located below the condensation module 10, and the distilled water is collected by using the water purification tank 40.

[0088] The bottom of the cold water tank 110 has an inlet, and the top of the water purification tank 40 has a first outlet. The first outlet is communicated with the inlet of the cold water tank 110 through a pipeline and a pump body disposed on the pipeline. In this way, it is convenient to suck the distilled water in the water purification tank 40 into the cold water tank 110, so that the liquid in the cold water tank 110 is distilled water, clean and free of impurities, and can be used by users for drinking. Thus, one end of the cold water delivery pipe 610 is communicated with the outlet of the cold water tank 110, and the other end of the cold water delivery pipe 610 is communicated with the cold water outlet 611 of the drinking device. Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , here, the other end of the cold water delivery pipe 610 can also directly extend out of the first opening of the housing 70 to form the cold water outlet 611, realizing the function of providing cold water by the drinking device. Moreover, in order to facilitate sucking cold water, a first pump body 804 can be provided on the cold water delivery pipe 610.

[0089] A second outlet is also provided on the water purification tank 40. The second outlet is connected to the heating module 50 through the second pipeline 802. The heating module 50 can be a thick film rapid heating element or other heating elements to heat the liquid flowing through the heating module 50. The heating module 50 is connected to one end of the hot water delivery pipe 620, and the other end of the hot water delivery pipe 620 is connected to the hot water outlet 621 of the drinking device. Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , here, the other end of the hot water delivery pipe 620 can also directly extend out of the second opening of the housing 70 to form the hot water outlet 621, realizing the function of providing hot water by the drinking device. Moreover, in order to facilitate sucking hot water, a second pump body 803 can be provided on the second pipeline 802.

[0090] Figures 3 to 5 The direction indicated by the arrow in Figure 4 and Figure 5 represents the flow route of the liquid. As shown in Figure 3As shown, it flows downward spirally along the condenser tube 130, and at the same time exchanges heat with the cold water in the cold water tank 110 to form liquid water, that is, distilled water, and then flows downward along the condenser tube 130 to Figure 5 the water purification tank 40 in Figure 5 . If the user needs hot water, the second pump body 803 is started to suck the distilled water in the water purification tank 40 into the second pipeline 802 and flow upward. After being heated by passing through the heating module 50, it continues to flow upward into the hot water delivery pipe 620 and finally flows out through the hot water outlet 621 to achieve hot water supply. If the user needs cold water, the first pump body 804 is started to suck the cold distilled water in the cold water tank 110 into the cold water delivery pipe 610, and the cold distilled water flows out from the cold water outlet 611 along the cold water delivery pipe 610 to achieve cold water supply.

[0091] Among them, since the water in the cold water tank 110 is supplied by the water purification tank 40, therefore, when the water level in the cold water tank 110 is relatively low and the water vapor cannot be fully condensed, the distilled water in the water purification tank 40 can be sucked to meet the condensation requirements. For example, if the user drinks more cold water, distilled water can be replenished into the cold water tank 110 in time. If the distilled water in the water purification tank 40 is less, the water supply module 20 can be started to collect more distilled water by using the water purification tank 40.

[0092] It should be noted that during the use process, the liquids in the water purification tank 40 and the cold water tank 110 can always be kept at a set amount. In addition, when the product is used for the first time, since there is initially no water in the water purification tank 40 and no water in the cold water tank 110, the water vapor initially entering the condenser tube 130 can be condensed by the cold air generated by the refrigeration component 120 to form liquid water and enter the water purification tank 40, and then the water purification tank 40 replenishes distilled water for the cold water tank 110. Of course, when using for the first time, distilled water or pure water can also be manually replenished into the cold water tank 110, so that the water vapor initially entering the condenser tube 130 is cooled and liquefied.

[0093] The drinking water device proposed in this embodiment cancels the traditional filter element and booster pump for filtration, but adopts the distillation method to achieve filtration, eliminating the problem of high noise during the operation of the booster pump, and also eliminating the trouble of regularly replacing the filter element, and will not increase the filter element replacement cost. Moreover, it uses a rapid heating quartz tube heating body with excellent dry-burning resistance to heat, which can quickly generate water vapor, has high heating efficiency and small occupied space. Moreover, the water vapor is condensed by using cold water, and the condensation efficiency is high. Moreover, the condenser tube 130 designed to extend spirally downward in a rotating manner has a small occupied space, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the product and facilitating the automatic downward flow of liquid water into the water purification tank 40 by gravity.

It should be understood that, in the view of those skilled in the art, these modifications and variations will still fall within the spirit and scope of the embodiments of the present utility model defined by the claims.
