Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water dispensers, in particular to a waste water receiving box for a water dispenser. Background Art

[0002] The wastewater collection trough of a water dispenser is a device for collecting and treating wastewater. It can be designed inside or outside the water dispenser, usually located directly below the water outlet of the water dispenser, so as to catch the water flowing out of the machine or the water overflowing when the water cup is full. In order to facilitate cleaning and maintenance, the water collection trough is usually designed to be detachable or easy to open.

[0003] At present, when the water inside the water box is full, the water box is generally removed by personnel to pour out. However, a hollow placement plate for receiving a water cup is generally provided on the top of the water box. This placement plate blocks the view to a certain extent, making it difficult to observe the amount of water inside the water box. It may be discovered only when the water in the water tank overflows. Or, when the water box is removed to pour out waste water, due to the large amount of water in the box, the water inside is shaken when the water box is removed, causing leakage.

[0004] Based on the above situation, it is necessary to design a water dispenser wastewater receiving box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a waste water receiving box for a water dispenser, so as to solve the problems in the prior art of being inconvenient to observe the water volume in the receiving box, which easily leads to waste water overflow and leakage.

[0006] The technical problem solved by the present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A wastewater receiving box for a water dispenser includes a water receiving trough mounted on a main body of the water dispenser, a receiving mesh plate being detachably connected to the upper end of the water receiving trough, and a prompt component being provided inside the water receiving trough for prompting when the water level in the receiving trough reaches a certain level;

[0008] The prompt component includes a connecting pipe and a prompt member connected to the inside of the water receiving trough. The prompt member extends to the outside of the connecting pipe and is slidably connected to the connecting pipe. A buoyancy plate is provided at one end of the prompt member located inside the connecting pipe. The buoyancy plate drives the prompt member to rise and fall synchronously with the water level in the water receiving trough.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting pipe is installed on the inner walls on both sides of the water receiving trough, and the output end of the connecting pipe is connected to the water receiving trough, and the prompt member extends to the outside of the water receiving trough.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting pipe is installed on the bottom inner wall of the water receiving trough, and the connecting pipe is located directly below the water outlet of the water dispenser body.

[0011] Preferably, the height of the connecting pipe is lower than the height of the water receiving trough.

[0012] Preferably, an overflow trough is fixedly connected to the outer side of the water receiving trough.

[0013] Preferably, the upper end of the prompting member is provided with a guide portion whose diameter gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the maximum diameter of the guide portion is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting pipe.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that: through the buoyancy of the buoyancy plate, when the water level in the water receiving trough reaches a certain height, the buoyancy plate drives the prompt part to move to the top of the water receiving trough, indicating that the water level in the water receiving trough has reached the warning water level and the water in the trough needs to be discharged to avoid overflow, which is convenient for reminding personnel and facilitating personnel to clean the trough in time. At the same time, when the water receiving trough is shaken during disassembly, part of the water overflowed during the shaking is collected by the overflow trough, further reducing the risk of leakage.

[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a waste water receiving box of a water dispenser includes a water receiving trough 2 installed on the water dispenser body 1. The water receiving trough 2 is installed below the water outlet of the water dispenser body 1 and is used to collect the residual water flow when the water outlet is closed. The upper end of the water receiving trough 2 is detachably connected with a receiving mesh plate 3. The receiving mesh plate 3 can prevent large solid impurities from entering the water receiving trough 2 on the one hand, and can receive water cups when receiving water on the other hand. If water overflows from the water cup when receiving water, it will flow into the water receiving trough 2 through the receiving mesh plate 3 for collection. Due to the obstruction of the receiving mesh plate 3, it is not convenient to observe the water level in the water receiving trough 2. If there is a lot of water in the water receiving trough 2, when the water receiving trough 2 is removed, it may cause the water receiving trough 2 to shake and cause the internal water to leak. Therefore, the utility model makes the following improvements:

[0023] The interior of the water receiving trough 2 is provided with a prompt component for prompting when the water level in the water receiving trough 2 reaches a certain amount. The prompt component includes a connecting pipe 4 and a prompt member 5 connected to the inside of the water receiving trough 2. The prompt member 5 extends to the outside of the connecting pipe 4 and is slidably connected to the connecting pipe 4. A buoyancy plate 6 is provided at one end of the prompt member 5 located inside the connecting pipe 4. The buoyancy plate 6 can drive the prompt member 5 to move upward according to the liquid level height in the water receiving trough 2. When the prompt member 5 moves to the top of the receiving mesh plate 3, it indicates that the water level in the water receiving trough 2 has reached a certain height and needs to be cleaned in time. If it continues to be used, the water in the water receiving trough 2 may overflow, etc., thereby prompting personnel and making it easier for personnel to know the water level in the water receiving trough 2.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 As shown, this is the first embodiment provided by the present invention, the connecting pipe 4 is installed on the inner walls on both sides of the water receiving trough 2, and the output end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the water receiving trough 2, and the prompt member 5 extends to the outside of the water receiving trough 2. The water flow in the water receiving trough 2 can enter the connecting pipe 4, and when the water surface contacts the buoyancy plate 6, the prompt member 5 is driven to move upward under the action of buoyancy. When the buoyancy plate 6 conflicts with the inner top wall of the connecting pipe 4 and cannot continue to move upward, the prompt member 5 will be completely located above the receiving mesh plate 3 to prompt the personnel.

[0025] Reference Figure 3As shown, this is a second embodiment provided by the present invention. The connecting pipe 4 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the water receiving trough 2, and the connecting pipe 4 is located directly below the water outlet of the water dispenser body 1. A through hole is opened inside the connecting pipe 4 that is connected to the water receiving trough 2. The water level inside the connecting pipe 4 rises synchronously with the water level inside the water receiving trough 2. The principle is the same as that of the first embodiment. When the prompt member 5 is completely located above the receiving mesh plate 3, it will prompt the personnel. However, unlike the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, the prompt member 5 is located directly below the water outlet. When the personnel takes a water cup and places it directly below the water outlet to receive water, it is easy to observe the prompt member 5 leaking, and the prompt effect is better. In the first embodiment, the prompt member 5 is located on both sides. The personnel may not observe the prompt member 5 rising due to haste or other reasons. However, the prompt member 5 is located on both sides to prevent the water overflowing from the water outlet or the water cup from directly pouring on the prompt member 5, thereby extending the service life of the prompt member 5. In the first embodiment, the prompt member 5 is located directly below the water outlet and may be affected by the residual water in the water outlet for a long time, reducing the service life of the prompt member 5.

[0026] The prompting member 5 may be made of a light material with a surface painted with a striking color, such as foam, so as to prevent the buoyancy plate 6 from being unable to drive the prompting member 5 to move upward.

[0027] Further, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the prompt member 5 is provided with a guide portion 8 whose diameter gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the maximum diameter of the guide portion 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting tube 4. The guide portion 8 can guide solid impurities such as tea leaves that fall on the prompt member 5 to avoid accumulation on the lifting member to increase its weight, and at the same time prevent impurities such as tea leaves from entering the interior of the connecting tube 4.

[0028] Furthermore, the height of the connecting pipe 4 is lower than that of the water receiving trough 2. When the water level inside the connecting pipe 4 reaches the highest, the prompt member 5 rises. At this time, there is still a certain amount of space left in the water receiving trough 2 to avoid wastewater overflow caused by failure to clean the water receiving trough 2 in time.

[0029] Further, refer to Figure 3 As shown, an overflow trough 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the water receiving trough 2. When the water receiving trough 2 is disassembled, the water receiving trough 2 shakes and the water inside it may partially overflow. The overflow trough 7 can collect the partially overflowed water, further reducing the risk of leakage.

[0030] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
