Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a water dispenser with an alarm prompt function, including a water dispenser body 1, a water receiving chamber 2 is provided on the front of the water dispenser body 1, two symmetrical water outlets 3 are installed on the top of the inner cavity of the water receiving chamber 2, two left and right rangefinders 5 are provided on the outside of the water outlets 3, and a plurality of receiving components 4 are provided inside the water receiving chamber 2 and are evenly distributed just below the water outlets 3; a controller, a sensor and an alarm are provided inside the water dispenser body 1, and the sensor, the alarm and the two rangefinders 5 are all connected to the controller, and the sensor is also connected to the receiving component 4; due to the two The setting of the rangefinder 5, in cooperation with the water outlet spout 3 and the receiving assembly 4, enables the water flow to continuously fall into the water receiving container, and the cooperation of the two rangefinders 5 can ensure that the water outlet spout 3 is closed in time after the liquid level reaches the distance at one end of the top of the container, thereby preventing water from overflowing the container, and the rangefinder 5 controls the closing of the water outlet spout 3 through the controller while sounding an alarm; due to the setting of the receiving assembly 4, it is convenient for the user to place the water receiving container at different heights, so that the top of the water receiving container is as close to the water outlet spout 3 as possible, thereby effectively shortening the water flow drop, thereby effectively preventing falling water from splashing.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a storage cabinet 6 located below the water receiving bin 2 is provided on the front of the water dispenser body 1, and a door panel is provided on the front of the inner cavity of the storage cabinet 6.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a water inlet 7 is provided on the top of the water dispenser body 1 , the lower end of the water inlet 7 is indirectly connected to the water outlet 3 , and a non-slip pad 78 is provided on the top of the water dispenser body 1 on the outside of the water inlet 7 .

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the receiving assembly 4 includes two receiving frames 41 fixedly installed inside the water receiving tank 2 and symmetrically arranged on both sides. A sliding cavity 42 is formed inside the two receiving frames 41. A slider 43 is slidably engaged with the interior of the sliding cavity 42. The facing surfaces of the two sliders 43 are fixedly connected to a receiving plate 45.

[0026] A return spring 44 is also provided inside the sliding cavity 42, one end of the return spring 44 is in contact with the inner wall of the sliding cavity 42, and the other end of the return spring 44 is in contact with the slider 43; due to the setting of the return spring 44, the elastic restoring force of the return spring 44 can push the slider 43 under the restriction of the sliding cavity 42, so that the receiving plate 45 can always extend to the outside of the receiving frame 41.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the facing surfaces of the two receiving plates 45 pass through their respective corresponding sliding cavities 42 and extend to the outside of the receiving frame 41, and the front surfaces of the two receiving plates 45 are smooth inclined surfaces; due to the setting of the smooth inclined surfaces, it can be ensured that the water receiving container moving backward can push the two receiving plates 45, so that the two receiving plates 45 move away from each other, and the water receiving container can finally move between the two buffer pads 46.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the facing surfaces of the two receiving plates 45 are provided with a groove located at the rear end of the smooth inclined surface, the groove is smoothly connected to the smooth inclined surface, and a buffer pad 46 is fixedly connected in the groove, and the distance between the two buffer pads 46 is greater than the maximum water flow diameter of the water outlet 3; due to the setting of the buffer pad 46, the two receiving plates 45 can be assisted in clamping the water receiving container to avoid clamping damage to the water receiving container.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the facing surfaces of the two buffer pads 46 are integrally formed with a number of evenly distributed anti-slip strips, which are arranged horizontally, and the two ends of the anti-slip strips are smoothly connected to the two ends of the groove; due to the setting of the anti-slip strips, the shaking of the water receiving container can be prevented, and the horizontal forward and backward movement of the water receiving container will not be affected, and the stability of the water receiving container is ensured with the cooperation of the groove.

[0030] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0031] The water receiving container is placed on the top of a suitable receiving assembly 4 according to its height, so as to shorten the distance between the water receiving container and the water outlet 3 as much as possible and prevent water from splashing due to excessive drop. The water receiving container is controlled so that its bottom adapts to the top of the corresponding receiving assembly 4, and then the water receiving container is moved so that its back contacts the receiving assembly 4 above. As the water receiving container continues to move, the left and right receiving plates 45 can be moved away from each other under the cooperation of the front inclined surface of the receiving plate 45, and the return spring 44 can be compressed by the slider 43 under the cooperation of the sliding cavity 42 until the water receiving container moves to the buffer pad 46. At this time, the water receiving container is located directly under the water outlet 3, and the container is controlled and, under the action of gravity, the bottom of the container slowly moves down and falls to the top of the corresponding receiving assembly 4 or the bottom of the inner cavity of the water receiving bin 2;

[0032] Due to the action of the receiving component 4, the corresponding water outlet 3 and its corresponding two distance measuring devices 5 are opened in cooperation with the sensor, so that the hot water and the cold water fall into the water receiving container along the gap between the left and right buffer pads 46 under the action of gravity;

[0033] When the water outlet 3 continuously discharges water, one of the distance meters 5 detects the height of the water receiving container, while the other distance meter 5 monitors the water level in the water receiving container in real time. When the water level approaches the height of the container, the corresponding water outlet 3 is closed, the water discharge is stopped, and an alarm is sounded.

[0034] The detection height difference between the two distance meters 5 is a fixed value, which can be adjusted through the control panel on the water dispenser body 1.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
