[0040] The utility model is provided with an overflow outlet, so that when the water level temperature detection is out of control or aged, and there is excess water in the second water tank during use, it can be discharged in time to avoid or reduce the pressure on the second water tank.

[0041] The water dispenser of the present invention can detect the output warm water by adding a third temperature detection component and / or a temperature detection alarm component, so that the third solenoid valve of the warm water pipe can be closed in time or discovered by the user in time to prevent accidental scalding of the user.

[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the technical solutions of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the specific embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0047] The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent the same components. It should be noted that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments.

[0048] Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Example

[0049] This utility model water dispenser, see Figure 1 , comprising: a first water tank 1, wherein the first water tank 1 has a heating element 2 and a first temperature detection component 3;

[0050] a mainboard 4 electrically connected to the heating element 2 and the first temperature detection component 3;

[0051] The second water tank 5, Figure 1 The second water tank 5 is shown to have a heat pipe 6, both ends of which are connected to the second water tank 5. Figure 1 As shown, the middle portion of the heat conducting pipe 6 is at least partially located in the first water tank 1;

[0052] The warm water pipe 7 is at least partially located in the second water tank 5 , that is, the warm water pipe 7 passes through the second water tank 5 .

[0053] The utility model discloses a water dispenser, by providing a second water tank 5 and a heat conducting pipe 6 connected to the second water tank 5, and at least a part of the heat conducting pipe 6 is located in the first water tank 1, so that the hot water in the first water tank 1 can heat the water in the second water tank 5 through the heat conducting pipe 6; since the warm water pipe 7 passes through the second water tank 5, the hot water in the second water tank 5 can heat the water in the warm water pipe 7, and the water in the first water tank 1 and the second water tank 5 can be heated with only one heating element 2; and the warm water pipe 7 only passes through the second water tank 5, so that the water in the second water tank 5 and the water in the warm water pipe 7 will not mix, and the water is separated from the water, thereby ensuring the safety of drinking water; and this solution reduces production costs, reduces the number of accessories, and solves the problems of cost waste and power resource waste caused by the current water dispenser using two water tanks and two heating wires.

[0054] In the present water dispenser, since the second water tank 5 is heated by the first water tank 1, it also plays the role of "energy storage". When the hot water in the first water tank 1 is not drunk for a long time, its heat is used to heat the second water tank 5 and further heat the warm water pipe 7, thereby realizing resource saving.

[0055] For further information, see Figure 1 , Figure 1The present invention also includes a first coil 8 and a second coil 9; these coils can be implemented in two different configurations. The first coil 8 can be a separate accessory connected to the heat pipe 6, or it can be an integral, fixed component of the heat pipe 6. Similarly, the second coil 9 can be a separate accessory connected to the warm water pipe, or it can be an integral, fixed component of the warm water pipe.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat pipe 6 is connected to the first coil 8, or the middle part of the heat pipe 6 is the first coil 8; the first coil 8 is at least partially located in the first water tank 1; the warm water pipe 7 is connected to the second coil 9, or the middle part of the warm water pipe 7 is the second coil 9; the second coil 9 is at least partially located in the second water tank 5.

[0057] The water dispenser of the present invention improves the heat exchange efficiency among the first water tank 1 , the second water tank 5 and the warm water pipe 7 by disposing the first coil 8 and the second coil 9 .

[0058] For further information, see Figure 1 The first water tank 1 has a first water level detection component 10; includes a first water inlet pipe 11, which is connected to the first water tank 1; the first water inlet pipe 11 is provided with a first solenoid valve 12; the main board 4 is electrically connected to the first water level detection component 10 and the first solenoid valve 12.

[0059] For further information, see Figure 1 The second water tank 5 has a second water level detection component 14; it also includes a second water inlet pipe 15, which is connected to the second water tank 5; the second water inlet pipe 15 is provided with a second solenoid valve 16; the main board 4 is electrically connected to the second water level detection component 14 and the second solenoid valve 16.

[0060] The water dispenser of the utility model connects the second water inlet pipe 15 with the second water tank 5 , thereby facilitating water replenishment into the second water tank 5 .

[0061] For further information, see Figure 1 The second water tank 5 is equipped with a second temperature detection component 17; the heat pipe 6 is equipped with a water pump component 18;

[0062] The main board 4 is electrically connected to the second temperature detection component 17 and the water pump component 18. The utility model, by adding the water pump component 18, makes it possible to make the water in the heat pipe 6 flow, thereby facilitating more efficient heat exchange of water between the first water tank 1 and the second water tank 5. In combination with the second temperature detection component 17 of the second water tank 5, when the water temperature in the second water tank 5 reaches a predetermined temperature, the water pump component 18 can be automatically or manually turned off, so that the water in the heat pipe 6 will not flow, thereby avoiding or reducing the continuous increase in the water temperature in the second water tank 5. On the other hand, when the temperature of the second water tank 5 reaches a predetermined temperature, the water pump component 18 can also be continuously turned on to continuously increase the water temperature in the heat pipe 6, thereby achieving the disinfection of the second water tank 5.

[0063] For further information, see Figure 1 An overflow port 13 is provided above the second water tank 5; the utility model sets the overflow port 13, so that when the water level temperature detection is out of control or aged, and there is excess water in the second water tank 5, it can be discharged in time to avoid or reduce the pressure of the second water tank 5.

[0064] For further information, see Figure 1 The warm water pipe 7 is provided with a third solenoid valve 19 ; the water outlet end of the warm water pipe 7 is provided with a third temperature detection component 20 ; the main board 4 is electrically connected to the third solenoid valve 19 and the third temperature detection component 20 .

[0065] Furthermore, the water outlet end of the warm water pipe 7 has a temperature detection alarm component, or the third temperature detection component 20 is replaced by a temperature detection alarm component.

[0066] The water dispenser of the present invention can detect the output warm water by adding a third temperature detection component 20 and / or a temperature detection alarm component, so that the third solenoid valve 19 of the warm water pipe 7 can be closed in time or discovered by the user in time to prevent accidental scalding of the user.

[0067] Furthermore, in the present invention, the first water inlet pipe 11 and the second water inlet pipe 15 can be the same water pipe or different water pipes. In this embodiment, a preferred solution of the present invention is to further include a pure water machine 21, the water outlet end of the pure water machine 21 being connected to the first water inlet pipe 11, the second water inlet pipe 15 and the warm water pipe 7 respectively. Example

[0068] The basic core design of the water dispenser of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment, in that the second water tank 5 and the first coil 8 and the second coil 9 are added to perform heat exchange; however, the difference lies in the different connection methods of the second water tank 5, the first coil 8 and the second coil 9 with other components. Specifically, Figure 2 Shown, including:

[0069] A first water tank 1, wherein the first water tank 1 has a heating element 2 and a first temperature detection component 3;

[0070] a mainboard 4 electrically connected to the heating element 2 and the first temperature detection component 3;

[0071] A warm water pipe 7 is provided with a second water tank 5 in the middle of the warm water pipe 7 so that the water in the warm water pipe 7 flows directly into the second water tank 5;

[0072] The heat conducting pipe 6 is connected end to end; the heat conducting pipe 6 is at least partially located in the second water tank 5 and at least partially located in the first water tank 1.

[0073] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the heat pipe 6 is connected to the first coil 8, or one end of the heat pipe 6 is the first coil 8; the first coil 8 is at least partially located in the first water tank 1; the other end of the heat pipe 6 is connected to the second coil 9, or the other end of the heat pipe 6 is the second coil 9; the second coil 9 is at least partially located in the second water tank 5.

[0074] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first water tank 1 has a first water level detection component 10, including a first water inlet pipe 11, which is connected to the first water tank 1. The first water inlet pipe 11 is equipped with a first solenoid valve 12. The main board 4 is electrically connected to the first water level detection component 10 and the first solenoid valve 12. An overflow port 13 is provided above the heat pipe 6. The heat pipe 6 has a second water level detection component 14, including a second water inlet pipe 15, which is connected to the heat pipe 6. The second water inlet pipe 15 is equipped with a second solenoid valve 16. The main board 4 is electrically connected to the second water level detection component 14 and the second solenoid valve 16. The first water inlet pipe 11 and the second water inlet pipe 15 can be the same pipe or different pipes. The second water tank 5 is equipped with a second temperature detection component 17. The heat pipe 6 is equipped with a water pump component 18. The main board 4 is electrically connected to the second temperature detection component 17 and the water pump component 18. It includes a pure water machine 21, the water outlet of which is connected to the first water inlet pipe 11, the second water inlet pipe 15 and the warm water pipe 7 respectively.

[0075] In addition to the different connection relationships between the second water tank 5, the first coil 8, the second coil 9 and other components, the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the second temperature detection component 17 is used instead of the third temperature detection component 20. Example

[0076] The water dispenser of the present invention, in this embodiment 3, includes part or all of the solutions of embodiment 1, and the similarities are not repeated here. The difference is that, Figure 3 As shown, the middle part of the heat conducting pipe 6 is connected to the first water tank 1; that is, the heat conducting pipe 6 is cut in the middle to be divided into two heat conducting pipes 6, one end of each heat conducting pipe 6 is connected to the first water tank 1, and the other end is connected to the second water tank 5; the first water tank 1 and the second water tank 5 are connected through the heat conducting pipe 6.

[0077] In this embodiment, since the first water tank 1 and the second water tank 5 are directly connected, the hot water in the first water tank 1 can directly enter the second water tank 5, which is used to heat the warm water pipe 7 passing through the second water tank 5, so that the overall heat transfer effect can be better improved.

[0078] Moreover, compared with Example 1, the solution of Example 3 can also delete the overflow port 13, the second water level detection component 14, the second water inlet pipe 15 and the second solenoid valve 16, and make the heating speed of the hot water pipe 7 faster, but the production cost is lower.

[0079] See also Figure 3 The position of the water pump component 18 in this embodiment 3 has a new position change compared with that in embodiment 1, so that the water pump device 18 can more effectively pump the hot water in the first water tank 1 into the second water tank 5.
