[0033] Based on the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing hot water tank easily mixes with air when discharging water, resulting in a poor user experience, the present utility model provides a water storage device.

[0034] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of water storage device; as long as it can store water and includes a water outlet pipe and a vent pipe, it can be used. For example, the water storage device can be configured as a water storage container such as a water pitcher or a water tank, or it can be configured as a hot pot with a heating function, or it can be configured as a heated water tank with a heating function, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific configuration of the water storage device do not deviate from the principles and scope of the present invention and are intended to be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The following describes in detail a specific embodiment of the water storage device of the present invention by taking a hot tank as an example.

[0036] Specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of the water storage device of the utility model; Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A schematic cross-sectional view of one of the embodiments along line AA; Figure 6 yes Figure 4 A schematic cross-sectional view of another embodiment along line AA.

[0037] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the water storage device of the present invention includes a tank body 1 , a water outlet pipe 14 and a vent pipe 15 arranged on the top of the tank body 1 .

[0038] The tank body 1 is provided with a first recessed structure 1221 at a position corresponding to the water outlet pipe 14 , and the water outlet pipe 14 is provided on the first recessed structure 1221 , and / or the tank body 1 is provided with a protruding structure 1231 at a position corresponding to the ventilation pipe 15 , and the ventilation pipe 15 is provided on the protruding structure 1231 .

[0039] Through such an arrangement, that is, by arranging the water outlet pipe 14 on the first recessed structure 1221 or arranging the vent pipe 15 on the raised structure 1231, the projection of the water outlet pipe 14 in the vertical direction can be made lower than the projection of the vent pipe 15 in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the water in the water storage device from being mixed with the air entering the tank body 1 through the vent pipe 15 when being discharged through the water outlet pipe 14, thereby avoiding affecting the performance of the hot tank and greatly improving the user experience.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the tank body 1 is provided with a first recessed structure 1221 at a position corresponding to the water outlet pipe 14 , and the water outlet pipe 14 is provided on the first recessed structure 1221 ; the tank body 1 is provided with a raised structure 1231 at a position corresponding to the vent pipe 15 , and the vent pipe 15 is provided on the raised structure 1231 .

[0041] In another specific embodiment, the tank body 1 is provided with a first recessed structure 1221 (not shown in the figure) only at a position corresponding to the water outlet pipe 14 , and the water outlet pipe 14 is provided on the first recessed structure 1221 .

[0042] In another possible embodiment, the tank body 1 is provided with a protruding structure 1231 (not shown in the figure) only at a position corresponding to the vent pipe 15 , and the vent pipe 15 is provided on the protruding structure 1231 .

[0043] It should be noted that, although the above three embodiments can make the projection of the water outlet pipe 14 in the vertical direction lower than the projection of the vent pipe 15 in the vertical direction, thereby avoiding the mixing of air when the water is discharged, compared with the form of only setting the first recessed structure 1221 at the position corresponding to the water outlet pipe 14 or only setting the raised structure 1231 at the position corresponding to the vent pipe 15, by simultaneously setting the first recessed structure 1221 at the position corresponding to the water outlet pipe 14 and the raised structure 1231 at the position corresponding to the vent pipe 15, a better height difference can be formed between the water outlet pipe 14 and the vent pipe 15, thereby more effectively avoiding the mixing of air when the water is discharged.

[0044] Preferably, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the tank body 1 is provided with a first recessed structure 1221 at a position corresponding to the water outlet pipe 14 , and the water outlet pipe 14 is provided on the first recessed structure 1221 ; the tank body 1 is provided with a raised structure 1231 at a position corresponding to the vent pipe 15 , and the vent pipe 15 is provided on the raised structure 1231 .

[0046] By such a configuration, by providing a second recessed structure 1321 at a position corresponding to the drain pipe 16 and arranging the drain pipe 16 on the second recessed structure 1321, it is possible to avoid the bottom of the pipe body being a flat structure (such as Figure 3 As shown), the drain pipe 16 can be placed at the lowest position of the tank body 1, thereby facilitating the discharge of water in the tank body 1 through the drain pipe 16, and then facilitating the emptying of the tank body 1, further improving the user experience.

[0047] It should be noted that the present invention does not impose any limitation on the specific shapes of the first concave structure 1221, the second concave structure 1321 and the convex structure 1231.

[0086] Preferably, the water inlet pipe 17 is connected to the cylinder 11 by welding.

[0087] It should be noted that although the present invention is introduced using a hot tank as an example, this is not restrictive. The specific structure of the hot tank of the present invention is also applicable to other types of water storage devices, etc. Such flexible adjustment and change does not deviate from the principle and scope of the present invention and should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

[0088] In addition, the utility model also provides a drinking water device, which includes the water storage device introduced above.

[0089] It should also be noted that, in actual applications, the drinking water equipment can be set as a water dispenser or a pipeline machine, that is, the water storage device is applied to the water dispenser or the pipeline machine, or the drinking water equipment can be set as a water purifier, that is, the water storage device is applied to the water purifier, or the drinking water equipment can be set as an under-kitchen water purifier and heat integrated machine, that is, the water storage device is applied to the under-kitchen water purifier and heat integrated machine, and so on. Such adjustments and changes to the specific setting types of the drinking water equipment do not deviate from the principle and scope of the present utility model, and should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0090] Exemplarily, the drinking water device is a water purifier.

[0091] Thus far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments.
