[0036] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] A multifunctional water dispenser for supplying water from a water tank and a water bottle, as Figures 1-3 shown, includes a water dispenser main body 1 provided with a water supply system. The water dispenser main body 1 is provided with a water tank 3 and a mounting seat assembly 2 for mounting a water bottle or a beverage bottle. The water outlet ends of the water tank 3 and the mounting seat assembly 2 are connected to the water supply system. In this embodiment, the mounting seat assembly 2 is arranged at the top of the water dispenser main body 1; in this embodiment, the water supply system includes a first two-position three-way valve 51, a second two-position three-way valve 52, a flowmeter 53, a water flow driving device 54, an instant heating element 6 and a water-vapor separator 7 that are connected in sequence. One water inlet end of the first two-position three-way valve 51 is connected to the water tank 3, and one water inlet end of the second two-position three-way valve 52 is connected to the mounting seat assembly 2. The first two-position three-way valve 51 and the second two-position three-way valve 52 cooperate to control the water inlet of the water tank 3. The second two-position three-way valve 52 controls the connection between the water bottle mounting seat and the water supply system. The flowmeter 53 can monitor the water flow in the water supply system in real time. The instant heating element 6 can realize the function of quickly preparing hot water. The water-vapor separator 7 can separate the steam in the hot water to prevent the discharged hot water from being accompanied by a large amount of steam, resulting in hot water splashing. In addition, a water receiving tray 8 is arranged directly below the water-vapor separator 7 of the water dispenser.
[0038] As Figures 3-4As shown, the mounting seat assembly 2 includes a smart seat 21 and a connecting valve seat 22 disposed in the smart seat 21. The connecting valve seat 22 is provided with a drain channel 22a communicating with the water outlet end of the smart seat 21. The connecting valve seat 22 is further provided with an internal thread 221 adapted to the external thread of the mouth of a water bottle or a beverage bottle. The smart seat 21 can support and limit the water bottle or the beverage bottle, and at the same time screw the external thread of the mouth of the water bottle or the beverage bottle with the internal thread 221 of the connecting valve seat to achieve the communication between the mouth of the water bottle or the beverage bottle and the drain channel 22a of the connecting valve seat 22. Finally, the liquid in the water bottle or the beverage bottle flows from the water outlet end of the smart seat 21 to the water supply system through the drain channel 22a. The connecting valve seat 22 is communicated with an air inlet hole 22b for balancing the air pressure in the water bottle or the beverage bottle. The setting of the air inlet hole 22b enables that when the water bottle or the beverage bottle is screwed tightly onto the connecting valve seat 22, the liquid in the water bottle and the beverage bottle flows to the water supply system through the drain channel 22a, resulting in a relative decrease in the pressure inside the bottle body compared to the external atmospheric pressure. At this time, the air inlet hole 22b can be used to supplement the air flow in the external atmosphere into the gas cylinder or the beverage bottle to balance the air pressure in the gas cylinder or the beverage bottle and prevent the bottle body inside the gas cylinder or the beverage bottle from being flattened due to the air pressure difference between the inside and the external atmospheric environment. The air inlet end of the air inlet hole 22b is connected with a one-way air inlet valve 222. The setting of the one-way air inlet valve 222 can effectively avoid the accidental outflow of the liquid in the gas cylinder or the beverage bottle on the connecting valve seat 22 through the air inlet hole 22b.
