Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water purification equipment, and particularly relates to a water purifier with optimized water collection function. Background Art

[0002] A water purifier is a water treatment device that deeply filters and purifies water quality to prepare or supply warm water, hot water or cold water. Among them, the built-in water purifier is more and more favored by consumers because it can be completely embedded in the cabinet or wall and form a coordinated whole with the overall kitchen.

[0003] For products such as water purifiers, a friendly user experience is the key to improving their market competitiveness. How to make the functional design of the device more reasonable is a very important issue.

[0004] During the use of a water dispenser, a water receiving container such as a water cup is generally placed on the water collection box to receive water. While the water collection box serves as a water receiving platform, it can also collect the water that escapes outside the water receiving container to prevent the water from escaping outside the water dispenser, such as spilling onto the cabinet, countertop or floor, and keep it clean and hygienic. The water collection box generally consists of a box body with a cavity capable of holding water and a box cover covering the box body. When it is necessary to pour out the water in the water collection box for cleaning, the entire water collection box needs to be removed from the water dispenser, and then the box cover needs to be removed by hand before the water in the box body can be poured out. For example, the patent authorization announcement number CN 210989739 U discloses a water collection box for a water dispenser. There is a groove in front of the water dispenser body on the inner side of the switch door on the front side of the water dispenser body. There are sliding grooves on both sides of the inner cavity of the groove, and a liquid collection groove is arranged between the sliding grooves. The top of the inner cavity of the liquid collection groove is installed on the top of the support grid through a support net, and a filter net is arranged at the bottom of the support grid. The water collection box in this water dispenser is composed of a liquid collection groove equivalent to the box body and a support grid equivalent to the box cover and other structures. This kind of structural design, on the one hand, requires one hand to hold the box body and the other hand to remove the box cover, and then pour out the water in the box body. The two-handed operation is relatively cumbersome. On the other hand, the hand needs to directly contact the box cover, and water stains and dirt will stick to the hand, which is unhygienic. Therefore, the user experience is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Embodiment 1

[0052] Combined with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, a water purifier with an optimized water collection function includes a housing surrounded by an upper cover plate 4 shown in the figure, side cover plates 3 (the other two side cover plates are not shown in the figure), and a bottom plate not shown in the figure; water treatment components such as a filter element, a frame, and a water tank are arranged inside the housing, and the housing and the water treatment components together form the body 9 of the main part of the water dispenser.

[0053] It should be understood that for an embedded water purifier, only the front end faces the customer. Therefore, setting the housing to cover the internal water treatment components mainly serves the purposes of aesthetics and protection. In fact, it is also feasible not to provide the upper cover plate 4 and the side cover plates 3.

[0054] A water nozzle 5 is arranged on the front side of the body 9 for discharging the purified water in the body 9 from the water outlet of the water nozzle 5. A water receiving platform 15 is used for placing a water receiving container so that the water receiving container can receive the water discharged from the water nozzle 5. A water collection box 8 is used for collecting the water scattered when the water receiving container placed on the water receiving platform 15 receives water; the water collection box 8 includes a box body with a water holding cavity, and an opening is arranged at the top of the water holding cavity.

[0055] It further includes a front door 1, and the front door 1 is movably installed on the front side of the body 9. Specifically, a front cover plate 7 is arranged on the front side of the body 9, and the front cover plate 7 can cover the internal components of the housing, and the front door 1 can cover the front cover plate 7 so that the front side of the front cover plate 7 is in an invisible state. The front cover plate 7 is provided with a receiving cavity 71 recessed towards the inside of the body 9. When the front door 1 is closed, the front door 1 can be covered on the receiving cavity 71 of the body 9.

[0056] It should be understood that here the front door 1 covers the front cover plate 7. It is not necessary to completely cover it by 100%. It can also cooperate with other components to jointly cover the front cover plate 7. Specifically, in this embodiment, a front panel 2 is further provided at the front end of the body 9 and the upper end of the front door 1. The front panel 2 is fixed to the upper end of the front cover plate 7 and covers the upper region of the front cover plate 7. Because of the shielding of the front panel 2, the front door 1 only needs to cover the remaining region of the front cover plate 7. The front panel 2 can be used to set components such as a display screen, a touch control panel, or an indicator light. The front panel 2 and the front door 1 can be integrally designed or separately designed, which is completely achievable in terms of technology. Only a separate design is adopted in this embodiment. When the front panel 2 and the front door 1 are integrally designed, it can be understood as a front door 1 of an integral structure.

[0057] The water nozzle 5 is installed on the body 9 above the upper side of the accommodation cavity 71, and a box body installation part 72 is provided below the lower side of the accommodation cavity 71. The box body installation part 72 is a trapezoidal structure with a wider outer width and a narrower inner width. The box body of the water collecting box 8 is detachably installed at the box body installation part 72. The position of the water collecting box 8 provided on the accommodation cavity 71 is configured such that when the front door is closed, the front door can completely cover the water collecting box 8, and the water receiving table 15 is located above the water collecting box 8. The water on the table surface of the water receiving table 15 can flow into the water collecting box 8 provided on the body 9 through the water collecting channel 132. When the front door is opened, the water collecting box 8 can be taken out from the box body installation part 72.

[0058] A water receiving chamber 14 for placing a water receiving container is formed by the middle part of the front door 1 recessing backward; the water receiving table 15 is provided on the lower side wall of the water receiving chamber 14, and a water nozzle inlet 134 is opened on the cavity wall of the water receiving chamber 14. The water nozzle inlet 134 is configured such that when the front door 1 is closed, the water outlet of the water nozzle 5 can enter the water receiving chamber 14 through the water nozzle inlet 134 and face the water receiving table 15; a water collecting channel 132 communicating the table surface and the bottom of the water receiving table 15 is provided on the lower side wall of the water receiving chamber 14. The water collecting channel 132 is configured such that when the front door 1 is closed, the water on the table surface of the water receiving table 15 can flow into the water collecting box 8 through the water collecting channel 132. The water collecting channel 132 is configured as a through hole or a notch; the number of the water collecting channels 132 is configured to be at least one.

[0059] In this embodiment, the lower side wall of the water receiving chamber 14 forms a plane, and the water collecting channel 132 is opened on this plane, and the lower side wall of the water receiving chamber 14 itself is directly used as the water receiving table 15. The water receiving container can be directly placed on the water receiving table 15 to receive the water discharged from the water nozzle 5.

[0060] The connection method between the front door 1 and the front side of the body 9 can be magnetic connection, snap connection or rotational connection; the rotational connection can specifically adopt shaft connection and hinge connection. In this embodiment, a hinge 12 is provided on one side of the front door 1, and the front door 1 is connected to the front cover plate 7 through this hinge 12. The main function of the hinge 12 is to enable the front door 1 to be opened from the side away from the hinge 12 and rotate relative to the front cover plate 7.

[0061] The hinge 12 can theoretically be arranged at the upper end, lower end, left end and right end of the front door 1. Starting from the most suitable user's usage habit, in this embodiment, the hinge 12 is arranged at the left end of the front door 1, that is, the user opens the front door 1 from the right side.

[0062] Embodiment 2

[0063] Combined with Figures 3 - 9 The front door 1 includes a front plate 11 and a back plate 13. The front plate 11 selects the most classic square structure, and a rectangular window is opened on the inner side of the front plate 11 to form a rectangular viewing window that can be observed from the outside to the inside. The back plate 13 is provided with two symmetrical concave portions 131, and an opening extending from top to bottom is formed between the two concave portions 131. The two ends of the opening are respectively a water nozzle inlet 134 and a water collecting channel 132; wherein, the water nozzle inlet 134 is for the water nozzle 5 to extend out and give way, so that when the front door 1 and the front cover plate 7 are in a closed state, the water nozzle 5 is located outside the front door 1; the water collecting channel 132 and the bottom plates of the two concave portions 131 together form a trapezoidal water receiving area that is wide outside and narrow inside. When the front door 1 and the front cover plate 7 are in a closed state, the trapezoidal water receiving area is directly above the box body installation part 72.

[0064] Combined with Figure 3 In this embodiment, a water collecting tray 6 is arranged in the trapezoidal water receiving area, and this water collecting tray 6 serves as a water receiving table 15. One side wall of the water collecting tray 6 abuts against the front plate 11, and the other three side walls are attached to the concave portions 131. The upper surface of the water collecting tray 6 is flush with the lower edge of the rectangular window of the front plate 11, so the water collecting tray 6 is basically hidden behind the front plate 11. The water collecting tray 6 is also symmetrically arranged on both sides with the opening as the axis. Because the two concave portions 131 in this embodiment are deeply concave structures towards the inside of the body 9, a wide and deep water receiving area will be formed at the bottom of the water purifier, which is convenient for containers of different volumes and sizes to be stably placed on the water collecting tray 6.

[0065] The water collecting tray 6 can be separately provided with a water passing channel, and this water passing channel is communicated with the water collecting channel. A grille sheet 61 can also be provided, and the liquid flowing out from the water nozzle 5 or the liquid splashed out from the water receiving container is guided by the grille sheet 61 and then flows through the water collecting channel 132.

[0066] Combined with Figure 6, a plurality of first grid pieces 611 inclined in one direction are arranged on the grid piece 61, and the inclined first grid pieces 611 are configured to guide the liquid flow. A plurality of buckling points 612 are arranged on the outer periphery of the grid piece 61. The grid piece 61 is usually fixed by a fixing frame 62. Refer to Figure 7 , a second grid piece 621 is arranged in the middle of the fixing frame 62, a plurality of notches 622 are arranged on the outer periphery of the fixing frame 62, and support ribs 623 are arranged on the upper surface of the fixing frame 62. Refer to Figure 8 , the grid piece 61 is buckled into the notch 622 of the fixing frame 62 through the buckling point 612 to realize the assembly with the fixing frame 62. The support rib 623 is located between the grid piece 61 and the fixing frame 62 and plays a supporting role for the grid piece 61. When the grid piece 61 and the fixing frame 62 are assembled into one body, the second grid piece 621 is inserted into the gap between the first grid pieces 611 and extends out of the surface of the grid piece 61, further playing a role in filtering and guiding the liquid flow.

[0067] Furthermore, a water collecting tank 63 can be arranged between the assembly of the grid piece 61 and the fixing frame 62 and the lower side wall of the water receiving chamber 14. Combining Figure 9 , a water passing hole 631 is arranged at the bottom of the water collecting tank 63, and the water passing hole 631 is communicated with the water collecting channel 132; an inclined portion 632 is arranged on the bottom plate of the water collecting tank 63, and the inclined portion 632 is configured to enable the liquid in the water collecting tank 63 to quickly flow into the water collecting box 8 through the water passing hole 631 and not accumulate in the water collecting tank 63. For the stability of the installation of the water collecting tank 63, an inserting strip 633 is arranged on the side of the water collecting tank 63, and the inserting strip 633 is inserted into an opening extending from top to bottom formed between two concave portions 131.

[0068] During the water receiving process, the water dripped from the water nozzle falls into the water collecting tank 63 through the grid piece 61. The first grid pieces 611 arranged on the grid piece 61 cooperate with the water collecting tank 63, which can effectively guide the liquid flow and prevent the water from being splashed out again and dripping onto the user's skin.

[0069] Embodiment 3

[0070] Combining Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the water collecting box 8 is configured to be removable along the front-back direction or the up-down direction relative to the box body mounting portion 72 arranged on the lower side of the accommodating cavity 71. Specifically in this embodiment, the box body mounting portion 72 extends an inserting portion 721 into the accommodating cavity 71, and the box body of the water collecting box 8 with a water receiving cavity extends into the inserting portion 721, which is convenient for collecting the water on the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 71, and the inserting portion 721 can also play a role in limiting the displacement of the water collecting box 8 relative to the accommodating cavity 71 in the up-down direction.

[0071] A draw-out opening 81 facilitating the user to take out the water collecting box 8 is provided on the side of the water collecting box 8, so that the water collecting box 8 can be taken out from the box body installation part 72 along the front-back direction relative to the accommodation cavity 71.

[0072] A liquid level sensing device is arranged in the water collecting box 8. The liquid level sensing device is configured to detect the liquid level in the water collecting box 8 and transmit the liquid level signal in the water collecting box 8 to the controller. When the controller determines that the liquid level in the water collecting box 8 reaches a high point, a prompt message is sent to remind the user to clean the liquid in the water collecting box 8 in time.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, a protective cover 82 is arranged in the water collecting box 8. A floating ball is arranged inside the protective cover 82. The protective cover 82 can prevent the floating ball from falling. The position of the floating ball changes synchronously with the liquid level in the water collecting box 8. The floating ball itself has magnetism or an internal magnetic part. The floating ball cooperates with a Hall sensor. The Hall sensor detects the liquid level in the water collecting box 8 by sensing the position of the floating ball. Here, the Hall sensor can be specifically arranged inside the machine shell directly below the floating ball. In this embodiment, the Hall sensor senses the position of the floating ball, and through program settings, the user can be reminded in time when the water inside the water collecting box 8 needs to be processed, avoiding sewage overflow.

[0074] It should be understood that the setting of the internal magnetic part of the floating ball cooperating with the Hall sensor in this embodiment is mainly for detecting the liquid level in the water collecting box 8. Using other sensors that can play the same or similar roles should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0075] In this embodiment, the water collecting tray 6 is arranged on the front door 1, and the water collecting box 8 is arranged on the front cover plate 7. This split design enables a bottom plate of the concave part 131 to be arranged between the water collecting tray 6 and the water collecting box 8. The user can hardly see the inside of the water collecting box 8 through the water passing holes 631 at the bottom of the water collecting tank 63, avoiding the discomfort caused to the user by the dirt generated inside the water collecting box 8 during long-term use. And in the normal use state of the water purifier, the water collecting box 8 is directly blocked inside by the front door 1, and there is no problem of the water collecting box 8 falling off due to insecure fixation. When the water collecting box 8 needs to be cleaned of sewage, the water collecting box 8 can be easily taken out by simply opening the front door 1. Compared with the traditional form in which the water collecting box 8 and the water collecting tray 6 are assembled into one body, the operation is more convenient.

[0076] It should be understood that the separate setting of the water collecting tray 6 and the water collecting box 8 in this embodiment is a preferred implementation manner. Assembling the water collecting tray 6 and the water collecting box 8 into one body and jointly arranging them on the front cover plate 7 or the front door 1 are all alternative implementation manners, but the implementation effects are slightly worse. Therefore, without departing from the concept of the present invention, it should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0077] Embodiment 4

[0078] In order to further improve the user experience, a hidden handle 136 is provided on the upper side of the back plate 13 in this embodiment. It is also possible to set the hidden handle 136 on the right side or the lower side of the back plate 13. In this embodiment, from the perspective of conforming to the user's usage habits, the hidden handle 136 is set on the upper side of the back plate 13.

[0079] A magnetic sheet 135 and a plug 137 are also provided on the side of the back plate 13 away from the hinge 12. Among them, the magnetic sheet 135 cooperates with the magnetic sheet arranged at the corresponding position on the front side of the machine body 9. Shock pads 138 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the magnetic sheet 135. In this embodiment, the plug 137 is arranged at the lower corner of the shock pad 138. The plug 137 is of a conical structure and has magnetism, and cooperates with the Hall sensor arranged in the socket 73 on the front cover plate 7 to be able to determine whether the front door 1 is completely closed.
