[0038] The following refers to Figures 1-3 Describe a drinking water device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. By providing an air flow blocking structure 14 between the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 131, the hot air discharged from the air outlet 131 can be blocked. After being blocked, the hot air flows towards both sides. In this way, the discharged hot air can be isolated from the air inlet 121, reducing the influence of the internal heat of the drinking water device 100 on the inlet air temperature, so as to improve the overall heat dissipation effect of the machine.
[0039] As Figures 1-3 shown, a drinking water device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is suitable for being installed in an embedded manner, and the drinking water device 100 includes: a housing 1, an ice making module 2, and an electrical module 3.
[0040] An installation cavity 11 is formed inside the housing 1, and the ice making module 2 and / or the electrical module 3 are installed in the installation cavity 11. Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the housing 1 can be a cuboid structure. The housing 1 is the external framework of the drinking water device 100. An installation cavity 11 is formed inside the housing 1. The ice-making module 2 and the electrical module 3 can be detachably connected to the installation cavity 11. They can be connected by structures such as bolts, buckles or special installation brackets, etc., and ensure the reliability of the connection of each module, improving the stability of the equipment operation. In this way, the ice-making module 2 and the electrical module 3 can be integrated with the housing 1, and the detachable connection is convenient for disassembly, installation and maintenance.
[0041] The ice-making module 2 is the core component for making ice, responsible for cooling water and converting it into ice. It usually includes a refrigeration system, an evaporator, a water circulation system, etc. The electrical module 3 includes electronic components for controlling the operation of the drinking water device 100, such as a microcontroller, sensors, relays, etc. These components are responsible for monitoring the device status, executing user instructions, and ensuring the safe operation of the device. Through the cooperation of the ice-making module 2 and the electrical module 3, the safe operation of the drinking water device 100 can be realized. Among them, the drinking water device 100 can be a water dispenser, a water purification device, a drinking water and ice-making integrated machine, etc.
[0042] Among them, a cooling fan 4 is provided inside the housing 1. The housing 1 includes adjacent first embedded walls 12 and second embedded walls 13. An air inlet 121 is provided on the first embedded wall 12, and an air outlet 131 is provided on the second embedded wall 13. The cooling fan 4 is adapted to drive air flow to enter the installation cavity 11 from the air inlet 121, exchange heat with the ice-making module 2 and / or the electrical module 3, and then flow out toward the air outlet 131. Specifically, for example, the cooling fan 4 is detachably connected inside the housing 1, and its connection method is simple, facilitating disassembly, installation and replacement. Among them, the cooling fan 4 can be configured as a fan for driving air flow. An air inlet 121 is provided on the first embedded wall 12 of the housing 1. The air inlet 121 can be configured as multiple ones, and the multiple air inlets 121 can achieve uniform air intake of the drinking water device 100. And an air outlet 131 is provided on the second embedded wall 13 of the housing 1. Among them, the air outlet 131 can be communicated with the air outlet side of the cooling fan 4 for exhausting air from the system.
[0043] An air flow blocking structure 14 is provided on the first embedded wall 12 and / or the second embedded wall 13. The air flow blocking structure 14 is located between the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 131. In actual design, the air flow blocking structure 14 can be provided on the first embedded wall 12, or the air flow blocking structure 14 can be provided on the second embedded wall 13. These two setting methods can both keep the air flow blocking structure 14 located between the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 131. In this way, the gas on both sides of the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 131 can be blocked, and the air flow blocking structure 14 can be configured as parts such as a blocking plate, etc., as long as it can play a role in changing the air flow direction. The structure is simple, the processing and assembly are simple, and the cost is lower.
[0044] Furthermore, the drinking water device 100 is installed in a device in an embedded manner. For example, the drinking water device 100 can be embedded in furniture such as a locker or a cabinet. The drinking water device 100 can be hidden in the device to meet the drinking water and ice making needs under specific requirements, and the installation scenario of the drinking water device 100 can be changed at any time to meet different usage requirements. When the drinking water device 100 is working, the ice making module 2 and the electrical module 3 generate heat during operation. Driven by the cooling fan 4, external air flows into the installation cavity 11 from the air inlet 121 of the first embedded wall 12. After the gas exchanges heat with the ice making module 2 and the electrical module 3, it flows out from the air outlet 131 of the second embedded wall 13, discharging the heat in the system, thereby achieving heat dissipation.
[0045] Thus, after the drinking water device 100 is embedded in a device, it will have a certain impact on the heat dissipation of the drinking water device 100. By arranging an air flow blocking structure 14 between the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 131, the hot air discharged from the air outlet 131 can be blocked by the air flow blocking structure 14 after passing through it, so that the hot air flows to both sides and will not continue to flow to the air inlet 121, which can prevent some hot air from re-entering the housing 1 from the air inlet 121, that is, it will not affect the inlet air temperature and maintain the consistency of the inlet air temperature, so as to ensure continuous and effective heat dissipation inside the device and ensure the safe operation of the device.
[0046] For the drinking water device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging an air flow blocking structure 14 between the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 131, the hot air discharged from the air outlet 131 can be blocked. After being blocked, the hot air flows towards both sides. In this way, the discharged hot air can be isolated from the air inlet 121, reducing the influence of the heat inside the drinking water device 100 on the inlet air temperature, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the drinking water device 100 during embedded installation, so as to improve the overall heat dissipation effect of the machine.
[0047] In some embodiments, the top wall and / or the bottom wall of the housing 1 is / are configured as the first embedded wall 12, and / or, the left wall and / or the right wall of the housing 1 is / are configured as the first embedded wall 12, wherein the rear wall of the housing 1 is configured as the second embedded wall 13.
[0048] Specifically, both the top wall and the bottom wall of the housing 1 can be constructed as the first embedded wall 12, or one of the two can be constructed as the first embedded wall 12, and both the left wall and the right wall of the housing 1 can be constructed as the first embedded wall 12, or one of the two can be constructed as the first embedded wall 12. Moreover, one of the top wall and the bottom wall of the housing 1 and one of the left wall and the right wall can be simultaneously constructed as the first embedded wall 12. That is, the top wall, the bottom wall, the left wall, and the right wall of the housing 1 are all used to set the air inlet 121 for the air intake of the drinking water device 100, and the rear wall of the housing 1 is constructed as the second embedded wall 13, and the second embedded wall 13 is provided with an air outlet 131 for the air exhaust of the device. Its setting method is diverse and can be set according to the actual space requirements to meet different air intake requirements.
[0049] Thus, through the above setting method, the cooling fan 4 can be driven to make air enter the housing 1 from the top wall and / or the bottom wall, the left wall and / or the right wall of the housing 1. After the air exchanges heat with the structures that need to exchange heat inside the housing 1, it is discharged from the rear wall of the housing 1. Through such an air circulation, the air intake and air exhaust functions of the housing 1 can be distinguished, which is beneficial to meeting the air intake requirements and the heat emission requirements of the device.
[0050] In some embodiments, the first embedded wall 12 is adapted to be distributed opposite to the first mounting surface to define a first air flow gap 122, and the second embedded wall 13 is adapted to be distributed opposite to the second mounting surface 203 to define a second air flow gap 123. Among them, both the first air flow gap 122 and the second air flow gap 123 are used for air flow, and the first embedded wall 12 is provided with an air inlet 121, and the second embedded wall 13 is provided with an air outlet. In this way, the first air flow gap 122 is used for the fresh air flow of the device, and the second air flow gap 123 is used for the hot air flow discharged from the device.
[0051] The first embedded wall 12 is provided with an air flow blocking structure 14 and divides the first air flow gap 122 into a first air intake area 1221 and a first air outlet area 1222. The first air intake area 1221 is communicated with the air inlet 121, and the first air outlet area 1222 is communicated with the second air flow gap 123. And / or the second embedded wall 13 is provided with an air flow blocking structure 14 and divides the second air flow gap 123 into a second air intake area and a second air outlet area. The second air intake area is communicated with the first air flow gap 122, and the first air outlet area 1222 is communicated with the air outlet 131. That is to say, through the air flow blocking structure 14, the first air flow gap 122 can have the air intake function and the air outlet function, and / or through the air flow blocking structure 14, the second air flow gap 123 can have the air intake function and the air outlet function to reasonably distribute the air intake requirements and the air outlet requirements of the device.
[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom wall of the housing 1 can be set as the first embedded wall 12, and the rear wall of the housing 1 can be set as the second embedded wall 13. The first embedded wall 12 is spaced apart from and oppositely distributed to the first mounting surface to form a first air flow gap 122, and the second embedded wall 13 is spaced apart from and oppositely distributed to the second mounting surface 203 to form a second air flow gap 123. An air flow blocking structure 14 is provided on the first embedded wall 12. The air flow blocking structure 14 is disposed near the air inlet 121, so that the side of the air flow blocking structure 14 on one side of the air inlet 121 is the first air inlet area 1221, and the side of the air flow blocking structure 14 facing away from the air inlet 121 is the first air outlet area 1222. The first air outlet area 1222 communicates with the second air flow gap 123. Among them, the area of the first air inlet area 1221 is smaller than the area of the first air outlet area 1222, which is beneficial for external air to quickly enter the housing 1 and increases the flow space of the hot air, facilitating the rapid discharge of the hot air in the housing 1.
[0053] Thus, the heat generated by the device flows from the air outlet 131 of the second embedded wall 13 to the second air flow gap 123 in the form of hot air, passes through the second air flow gap 123 and flows to the first air outlet area 1222, and changes the flow direction at the air flow blocking structure 14, realizing the heat dissipation of the device, and separating the fresh air required by the device from the generated hot air. By controlling the paths of the fresh air and the hot air, the efficiency of the heat exchanger or the cooling system can be improved.
[0054] Moreover, when the air flow blocking structure 14 is provided on the second embedded wall 13, the principle is the same as above, and it can be set according to the actual space as long as the heat dissipation requirements of the system can be met.
[0055] In some embodiments, the air flow blocking structure 14 extends along a first direction on the first embedded wall 12, and separates the first air inlet area 1221 and the first air outlet area 1222 along a second direction. The first direction intersects with the second direction.
[0056] Specifically, the first direction can be a horizontal direction, a vertical direction or an extending direction at a certain angle with other parts of the housing 1. For example, Figure 3 as shown, the air flow blocking structure 14 extends along the first direction on the first embedded wall 12, and the air flow blocking structure 14 separates the first air inlet area 1221 and the first air outlet area 1222 along the second direction. Among them, the second direction intersects with the first direction to form a certain angle, that is, the two can be perpendicular or not perpendicular to each other. In this way, the second direction is perpendicular or not perpendicular to the first direction. That is, after the hot air in the second air flow gap 123 flows into the first air outlet area 1222, it can flow along the second direction and change the flow direction at the air flow blocking structure 14 and flow along the first direction. Thus, it can be ensured that the hot air can flow along a predetermined path, avoiding the intersection of the hot air and the fresh air, which is beneficial for effective heat dissipation of the device.
[0057] In some embodiments, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, the first direction and the second direction can be horizontal directions. The first direction is the left - right direction of the housing 1, and the second direction is the front - back direction of the housing 1. Then, the air - flow blocking structure 14 extends along the left - right direction, and the length of the extension of the air - flow blocking structure 14 is slightly less than the left - right width of the housing 1. The air inlet 121 can be arranged at the front part of the first inner wall 12, and the air - flow blocking structure 14 is arranged close to the air inlet 121. In this way, fresh air can enter the housing 1 from the front bottom of the housing 1, and after absorbing the heat of the structures inside the housing 1, it is discharged from the rear of the housing 1 and flows vertically to the first air - outlet area 1222. In the first air - outlet area 1222, it flows from the rear to the front to the air - flow blocking structure 14 and is discharged from the left and right sides respectively after passing through the air - flow blocking structure 14, and the hot - air flow on the left and right sides can be made more uniform, and in a limited space, the equipment can be cooled more effectively.
[0058] In some embodiments, the air - flow blocking structure 14 includes an air - flow blocking member 141. The air - flow blocking member 141 is detachably connected to the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13 through a connecting member, and the air - flow blocking member 141 protrudes relative to the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13.
[0059] Specifically, the air - flow blocking member 141 is used to guide and block the air flow. The air - flow blocking member 141 is connected to the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13. As Figure 4 shown, and it protrudes along the surface of the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13, and can divide the first air - flow gap 122 between the first inner wall 12 and the first mounting surface into two parts, or divide the second air - flow gap 123 between the second inner wall 13 and the second mounting surface 203 into two parts to achieve the blocking effect of the air - flow blocking member 141. Among them, the air - flow blocking member 141 can be made of materials such as steel or rubber. The air - flow blocking member 141 is provided with connection holes, and the connecting member can be a connecting bolt. The air - flow blocking member 141 is detachably connected to the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13 by passing a connecting bolt through the connection holes. The connection method is simple and easy to operate. And the air - flow blocking member 141 and the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13 can also be connected through connecting members such as buckles.
[0060] In some embodiments, the air - flow blocking member 141 includes a mounting plate 1411 and a baffle plate 1412. The mounting plate 1411 is attached to and connected with the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13, and the baffle plate 1412 is bent and connected with the mounting plate 1411, and the baffle plate 1412 protrudes and extends in a direction away from the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13.
[0061] Specifically, the mounting plate 1411 and the baffle 1412 are bent and connected, and the bending angle can be a right angle or an acute angle. Both the mounting plate 1411 and the baffle 1412 extend along the first direction, and the baffle 1412 protrudes away from the first inner wall 12 and the second inner wall 13, which helps to form a partition area and realizes the blocking of the airflow on both sides by the baffle 1412.
[0062] Among them, the mounting plate 1411 is arranged parallel to the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13, so that the mounting plate 1411 can be adhesively connected to the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13. The mounting plate 1411 is provided with a plurality of connection holes, and the plurality of connection holes are spaced apart along the length direction of the mounting plate 1411. Correspondingly, the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and the plurality of mounting holes are distributed in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of connection holes. The mounting holes can be configured as bolt holes. During installation, the mounting plate 1411 is attached to the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13, and then a plurality of connecting bolts are used to lock the mounting plate 1411 and the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13, so as to realize the connection and fixation of the airflow blocking member 141, and the connection method is simple and reliable.
[0063] Thus, the adhesive connection can avoid the occurrence of gaps between the mounting plate 1411 and the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13, prevent the hot air from flowing to the air inlet 121 and affecting the inlet air temperature, and realize the effective blocking of the hot air.
[0064] In some embodiments, the baffle 1412 is connected to one side edge of the mounting plate 1411, and the baffle 1412 is inclined towards the side close to the mounting plate 1411 in the direction away from the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13.
[0065] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the baffle 1412 is bent and connected to one side of the mounting plate 1411, and is bent at the side edge of the mounting plate 1411 facing away from the air inlet 121, and the bending angle is not a right angle, that is, the baffle 1412 can be configured as an inclined plate. As Figure 4 shown, the baffle 1412 is inclined towards the side close to the mounting plate 1411 in the direction away from the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13. When the airflow blocking structure 14 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, the baffle 1412 is inclined from top to bottom and forward, and the angle between the baffle 1412 and the mounting plate 1411 can be 60°, 70°, etc., which can be flexibly set according to the actual air guiding requirements.
[0066] Accordingly, the baffle 1412 is configured to be inclined relative to the mounting plate 1411, which can guide the hot air flow. Compared with the straight plate structure, the resistance of the baffle 1412 to the air flow can be reduced, enabling the air flow to flow along the inclined baffle 1412, achieving the blocking effect while ensuring the air flow velocity to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the device.
[0067] In some embodiments, the air flow blocking structure 14 further includes an air flow blocking portion 142, which is integrally formed with the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13, and the air flow blocking portion 142 blocks the gap between the air flow blocking member 141 and the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13.
[0068] Specifically, the air flow blocking portion 142 is used to block the air flow. During actual processing, the air flow blocking portion 142 can be integrally formed with the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13. In this way, the processing steps are reduced, the processing time is saved, and thus the assembly process is reduced. Moreover, the integral forming can improve the connection strength between the air flow blocking portion 142 and the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13.
[0069] Among them, the air flow blocking portion 142 extends in the first direction. As Figure 4 shown, the air flow blocking portion 142 protrudes in a direction away from the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13, and the protruding dimension is small. The mounting plate 1411 of the air flow blocking member 141 and the baffle 1412 are bent and connected, and there is a bending angle at the bending part. The air flow blocking portion 142 can block the gap between the air flow blocking member 141 and the first inner wall 12 or the second inner wall 13, preventing the hot air from flowing from the mounting plate 1411 of the air flow blocking portion 142 to the air inlet 121, thus playing a good blocking role, improving the orderly flow of the hot air flow, and reducing turbulence and eddy currents, thereby reducing the noise caused by the air flow.
[0070] In some embodiments, the air flow blocking structure 14 is provided on the first inner wall 12, and the air flow blocking portion 142 is located on the side of the air flow blocking member 141 close to the second inner wall 13.
[0071] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown, the air flow blocking structure 14 is located on the side of the first embedded wall 12 close to the air inlet 121, and the air flow blocking member 141 and the air flow blocking portion 142 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction, and the air flow blocking portion 142 is located on the side of the air flow blocking member 141 close to the second embedded wall 13. In this way, the hot air discharged from the second embedded wall 13 enters the first embedded wall 12 and flows from back to front after entering the first installation surface. Among them, the hot air flow close to the first installation surface is blocked and guided by the air flow blocking member 141 to flow towards the left and right sides, and the hot air flow close to the first embedded wall 12 is blocked by the air flow blocking portion 142 and guided by the air flow blocking member 141 to flow towards the left and right sides. Through the air flow blocking portion 142, the hot air flow can be blocked from the fresh air, and the eddy current phenomenon of the hot air flow between the air flow blocking member 141 and the first embedded wall 12 can be reduced, which is beneficial to the rapid flow of the hot air flow along the set path, improves the discharge speed of the hot air flow, and meets the heat dissipation requirements of the equipment.
[0072] In some embodiments, the air flow blocking structure 14 further includes an air flow blocking portion 142, the air flow blocking portion 142 is integrally formed with the first embedded wall 12 or the second embedded wall 13, and the air flow blocking member 141 protrudes relative to the first embedded wall 12 or the second embedded wall 13.
[0073] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the air flow blocking portion 142 extends in the first direction, the air flow blocking portion 142 protrudes in a direction away from the first embedded wall 12 or the second embedded wall 13. During processing, the air flow blocking portion 142 is formed by protruding on the surface of the first embedded wall 12 or the surface of the second embedded wall 13, so that the air flow blocking portion 142 can be integrally formed with the first embedded wall 12 or the second embedded wall 13. The air flow blocking member 141 protrudes from the surface of the first embedded wall 12 or the second embedded wall 13, and the protruding dimension of the air flow blocking member 141 is greater than the protruding dimension of the air flow blocking portion 142. In this way, through the cooperation of the air flow blocking portion 142 and the air flow blocking member 141, the effective guidance of the hot air by the air flow blocking structure 14 can be improved.
[0074] Therefore, by setting the air flow blocking portion 142 to be integrally formed with the first embedded wall 12 or the second embedded wall 13, the processing steps are reduced, the processing time is saved, and thus the assembly process is reduced. The integral forming can improve the stability and sealing performance of the structure, and its structure is simple and the function is easy to realize.
[0075] In some embodiments, the first embedded wall 12 is vertically connected to the second embedded wall 13. In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the first embedded wall 12 is the bottom wall of the housing 1, and the second embedded wall 13 is the rear wall of the housing 1. In this way, the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface 203 are also perpendicularly distributed. The first mounting surface is below the first embedded wall 12, and the second mounting surface 203 is behind the second embedded wall 13. Moreover, the first air flow gap 122 and the second air flow gap 123 are vertically connected. In this way, the flow path of the air flow is a vertical path, which enables the hot air flow to flow from the second air flow gap 123 to the first air flow gap 122 along the vertical flow path. The airtightness during the flowing process is good, and the vertical distribution form is simpler and easier to implement.
[0076] In some embodiments, the length of the air flow blocking structure 14 is greater than or equal to the opening length of the air inlet 121. Among them, the air flow blocking structure 14 extends along the first direction, the opening of the air inlet 121 extends along the first direction, and the length of the air flow blocking structure 14 can be greater than the opening length of the air inlet 121, or the length of the air flow blocking structure 14 can be equal to the opening length of the air inlet 121. Moreover, the extending lengths of the air flow blocking portion 142 and the air flow blocking member 141 are the same. With such a setting, it can be ensured that all the hot air flow in the first air flow gap 122 can flow toward both sides through the guiding and blocking of the air flow blocking structure 14, and its air flow direction is as Figure 3 shown. Thus, it can be avoided that part of the hot air flow flows from both ends of the length of the air flow blocking structure 14 to the air inlet 121, improving the blocking effect of the air flow blocking structure 14 on the air flow, so as to improve the heat dissipation performance of the whole machine.
[0077] The present utility model also proposes a drinking water equipment installation assembly.
[0078] The drinking water equipment installation assembly according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes an installation body 200 and the drinking water equipment 100 of any one of the above embodiments. The installation body 200 forms an embedding space 201, and the drinking water equipment 100 is embedded into the embedding space 201.
[0079] Specifically, the installation body 200 can be a wall, a floor, or can also be furniture such as a cabinet, a bar or a storage cabinet, as Figure 3As shown, the installation body 200 is formed with an embedding space 201. The size and shape of the space of the embedding space 201 are set to match the drinking water device 100, and are used to accommodate the drinking water device 100. During installation, the drinking water device 100 can be placed or fixed in the embedding space 201 of the installation body 200, and the drinking water device 100 can be closely combined with the installation body 200, so that the drinking water device 100 can be hidden in the installation body 200. In this way, less indoor space is occupied, the user's demand for space use is improved, and the drinking water device 100 is more coordinated with the surrounding environment, providing a neater appearance. Moreover, the risk of the drinking water device 100 being accidentally collided or moved can be reduced, the stability and safety of the device are improved, and the drinking water device 100 can be placed in different installation bodies 200 to meet different installation requirements and usage requirements.
[0080] In some embodiments, the embedding space 201 has a first installation surface and a second installation surface 203. The first installation surface is distributed opposite to the first inner wall 12, and the second installation surface 203 is distributed opposite to the second inner wall 13. The first inner wall 12 is provided with an air flow blocking structure 14 and the air flow blocking structure 14 presses against the first installation surface, and / or the second inner wall 13 is provided with an air flow blocking structure 14 and the air flow blocking structure 14 presses against the second installation surface 203.
[0081] Specifically, the first installation surface and the second installation surface 203 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the first installation surface is distributed opposite to the first inner wall 12. Among them, the first inner wall 12 can be the bottom wall of the housing 1 of the drinking water device 100, and the bottom of the first inner wall 12 is provided with support feet 15. The drinking water device 100 is supported and fixed on the first installation surface through the support feet 15. The second installation surface 203 is distributed opposite to the second inner wall 13, and the second inner wall 13 can be the rear wall of the housing 1 of the drinking water device 100. In this way, after the drinking water device 100 is installed in the embedding space 201, the first inner wall 12 is spaced apart from the first installation surface to form a first air flow gap 122, and the second inner wall 13 is spaced apart from the second installation surface 203 to form a second air flow gap 123. Among them, the air flow blocking structure 14 of the first inner wall 12 presses against the first installation surface, and the first air flow gap 122 can be divided into a first air inlet area 1221 and a first air outlet area 1222 in the front-rear direction. Or, the air flow blocking structure 14 of the second inner wall 13 presses against the second installation surface 203, and the second air flow gap can be divided into a second air inlet area and a second air outlet area in the up-down direction.
[0082] Among them, the embedding space 201 is provided with an open mouth through which the drinking water device 100 can be embedded into the embedding space 201. According to different usage scenarios, the drinking water device 100 includes a fully embedded or semi-embedded installation mode. The embedding space 201 further includes left and right side walls and upper and lower side walls, and the left and right side walls and the upper and lower side walls are all spaced apart from the drinking water device 100. In this way, after the drinking water device 100 operates, the cooling fan 4 drives external air to enter the drinking water device 100 from the air inlet 121 at the front bottom of the drinking water device 100, and after exchanging heat with the ice-making module 2 and the electrical module 3, it is discharged from the air outlet 131 at the rear wall, and flows sequentially to the second air gap 123 and the first air gap 122. Through the blocking and guiding of the air flow blocking structure 14, the hot air flow can flow out along the left and right sides of the drinking water device 100 to achieve the heat dissipation of the device.
[0083] Therefore, in the absence of the air flow blocking structure 14, the hot air flow will flow back to the air inlet 121, increasing the temperature of the fresh air by 5-7°C, which is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the whole machine. Generally, the temperature of the fresh air is close to room temperature. In this embodiment, the air flow blocking structure 14 is arranged between the air inlet 121 and the air outlet 131 to prevent the hot air flow from mixing with the fresh air at the air inlet 121, enabling the inlet air temperature to remain consistent with room temperature. Moreover, the lower the temperature of the fresh air, the more conducive it is to the heat exchange of the device. Therefore, through the air flow blocking structure 14, the heat dissipation effect of the embedded drinking water device 100 can be effectively improved to ensure the stable operation of the whole machine.
