Thus, the example term "below" can encompass both above and below orientations.

[0045] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a water supply device 1 is provided. The water supply device 1 includes a housing 10, a water supply connector 23, a water receiving box 70, and a water storage cup 41. The water supply connector 23 is provided at the water supply connector 23 of the housing 10. The water receiving box 70 is connected to the housing 10. The water storage cup 41 is placed above the water receiving box 70. The water storage cup 41 has a first plug-in port 412 that plugs into and mates with the water supply connector 23. The water receiving box 70 has a guide structure 72. The guide structure 72 is used to guide the first plug-in port 412 to align with the water supply connector 23. By guiding the water supply connector 23 to align with the first plug-in port 412, the water supply connector 23 can be more accurately and easily plugged into the first plug-in port 412, reducing the problem of poor connection caused by inaccurate plug-in. The water supply connector 23 is also reduced in collision with the cup body 411 of the water storage cup 41, reducing the probability of damage to the water supply connector 23 due to collision during long-term use of the water supply device 1, and reducing water leakage problems of the water supply device 1.

[0046] Furthermore, the water supply device 1 further includes a filter assembly (not shown) and a first water tank 20. The first water tank 20 is respectively connected to the filter assembly and the water supply connector 23. The first water tank 20 is used to store pure water filtered by the filter assembly and supply the pure water to the water storage cup 41 through the water supply connector 23. The water supply device 1 can use the first water tank 20 to store pure water filtered by the filter assembly and use the first water tank 20 to supply water to multiple water storage cups 41 located outside the housing 10. Even if the user removes the water storage cups 41, the water supply device 1 can still use the first water tank 20 to store pure water and supply pure water to external water-using devices, without affecting the continued use of the water supply device 1.

[0047] The water supply device 1 also includes a second water tank 12, which is used to connect to a water source or store raw water. The second water tank 12 supplies raw water to the filter assembly, which includes a pre-filter element (not shown in the figure), a reverse osmosis filter element (not shown in the figure), and a post-filter element (not shown in the figure). The pre-filter element can be of different forms of PP, different forms of activated carbon, ultrafiltration, or nanofiltration. The raw water in the second water tank 12 first enters the pre-filter element. After coarse filtration by the pre-filter element, the raw water enters the reverse osmosis filter element. After filtration by the reverse osmosis filter element, it is divided into one path of pure water and one path of wastewater. The wastewater flows into the wastewater waterway from the reverse osmosis wastewater outlet, and finally the wastewater flows back into the second water tank 12. The pure water flows into the post-filter element and, after filtration by the post-filter element, flows into the first water tank 20 for drinking.

[0048] The post-filter element can be made of various activated carbon forms, and the post-filter and pre-filter elements can be separate elements or a single composite element. A composite filter element combines the filtering functions of both pre- and post-filter elements, with two independent flow paths within the composite filter element. One path is used for coarse filtration, equivalent to the pre-filter element. Raw water enters the reverse osmosis filter element after coarse filtration through this path. The other path is used for secondary filtration, equivalent to the post-filter element. Purified water filtered by the reverse osmosis filter element passes through this path for a second filtration, ultimately exiting the composite filter element's outlet.

[0049] Specifically, pure water filtered by the filter assembly is output to the first water tank 20 for storage. The first water tank 20 also supplies pure water to a water storage cup 41, which is located outside the housing 10. This allows users to readily access the water stored in the water storage cup 41 to meet their large-volume pure water needs. If a user removes the water storage cup 41 due to a large-volume pure water demand, the water supply device 1 can still utilize the first water tank 20 to store pure water and supply it to external water-using devices, without affecting the continued use of the water supply device 1.

[0050] Furthermore, please combine Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the first water tank 20 includes a first shell 21 and a water supply installation portion 210 provided on the first shell 21. The interior of the first shell 21 defines a first water storage chamber for storing pure water. The water supply installation portion 210 includes a first tube body portion 215 communicating with the first water storage chamber and a second tube body portion 216 communicating with the first tube body portion 215. The first tube body portion 215 and the second tube body portion 216 are both tubular. The interiors of the first tube body portion 215 and the second tube body portion 216 are hollow and form a channel for supplying pure water to flow. The outer contours of the first tube body portion 215 and the second tube body portion 216 and the contours of their inner cavities can be set to cylindrical, prismatic or irregular shapes, etc. The first tube portion 215 and the second tube portion 216 are arranged perpendicular to each other. The first tube portion 215 extends in a first direction, and the second tube portion 216 extends in a second direction (i.e., a vertical direction). The top of the second tube portion 216 defines the first water outlet 212. The water supply connector 23 includes a main body portion 231, a first plug portion 232, and a second plug portion 233. The first plug portion 232 extends in the first direction and is plugged into the first plug interface. The second plug portion 233 is configured as a circular tubular structure extending in the second direction. The second plug portion 233 is plugged into the second tube portion 216 from top to bottom, connecting the water supply connector 23 to the first water outlet 212. The first plug portion 232 is configured as a cylindrical plug with a smooth outer surface to ensure smooth insertion and removal. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0051] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first plug-in port 412 is formed on the cup body 411 of the water storage cup 41 , and the first plug-in portion 232 is detachably plugged into the first plug-in port 412 , thereby connecting the first water tank 20 and the water storage cup 41 .

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the guide structure 72 is configured as a strip-shaped protrusion on the water receiving box 70, providing a path guide for the installation of the water storage cup 41. The bottom of the water storage cup 41 is provided with a slide 415 that slidably cooperates with the guide structure 72. The slide 415 forms an opening on the side of the water storage cup 41 facing the housing 10. When the water storage cup 41 is placed on the water receiving box 70, the bottom slide 415 cooperates with the strip-shaped protrusion to ensure that the water storage cup 41 moves in a specific direction, so that the first plug port 412 is accurately aligned with the water supply connector 23. The provision of the slidably cooperating strip-shaped protrusion and slide 415 makes the installation process of the water storage cup 41 more convenient. The user does not need to spend too much time and effort to adjust the position of the water storage cup 41, and can smoothly connect the water supply connector 23 to the first plug port 412.

[0053] The chute 415 at the bottom of the water cup 41 matches the shape of the guide structure 72, ensuring stable sliding. The chute 415 forms an opening on the side of the water cup 41 facing the housing 10. This opening allows the water cup 41 to slide into the top of the water receiving box 70 from a specific direction, facilitating installation and removal.

[0054] Among them, the length direction of the guide structure 72 is parallel to the extension direction of the first plug-in portion 232, so that when the water storage cup 41 slides along the guide structure 72, the first plug-in port 412 always moves toward the water supply connector 23, which greatly improves the accuracy of the plug-in. It also makes the direction of the force more stable during the plug-in process, reducing the collision and damage between the water supply connector 23 and the cup body 411 of the water storage cup 41 caused by directional deviation.

[0055] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the water receiving box 70 is equipped with a buckle 73, and the bottom of the water storage cup 41 is provided with a slot (not shown). When the water supply connector 23 is plugged into the first plug port 412, the buckle 73 engages with the slot, securing the water receiving box 70 and the water storage cup 41. Once the water supply connector 23 is properly plugged into the first plug port 412 of the water storage cup 41, the buckle 73 engages with the slot, further enhancing the stability of the connection between the water storage cup 41 and the water receiving box 70. The engagement of the buckle 73 with the slot prevents the water storage cup 41 from accidentally moving or falling off during use, ensuring the proper operation of the water supply device 1. Furthermore, during the water supply process, the position of the water storage cup 41 remains stable, preventing loosening or leakage of the water supply connector 23 due to shaking or displacement. When the water storage cup 41 needs to be accessed or cleaned, the user can easily release the buckle 73 from the slot, making operation quick and convenient.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the buckle 73 is a spherical protrusion provided on the water receiving box 70, and the card slot is configured as a groove provided at the bottom of the water storage cup 41 that matches the outline of the buckle 73.

[0057] In other embodiments, a buckle (not shown in the figure) is provided at the bottom of the water storage cup 41, and a card slot (not shown in the figure) is provided at the water receiving box 70. When the water supply connector 23 is plugged into the first plug interface 412, the buckle is engaged with the card slot to achieve a fixed connection between the water receiving box 70 and the water storage cup 41.

[0058] In this embodiment, the buckle 73 is located between the guide structure 72 and the first plug-in portion 232 along the extension direction of the first plug-in portion 232. This arrangement ensures that during installation of the water cup 41, the guide structure 72 first ensures accurate alignment. After the water supply connector 23 is inserted into the first plug-in port 412, the buckle 73 engages with the slot, securing the water cup 41. The sequential arrangement of the guide structure 72 and the buckle 73 ensures a gradual and stable connection. During use, the buckle 73, located between the guide structure 72 and the first plug-in portion 232, effectively prevents the water cup 41 from moving in the extension direction of the first plug-in portion 232. Even under certain external forces, the water cup 41 is unlikely to become loose from the water supply connector 23, thereby ensuring a continuous and stable water supply.

[0059] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the housing 10 includes a front panel 11, to which the water receiving box 70 is connected, providing stable support for the water cup 41. The front panel 11 is provided with a curved area 111 for accommodating the water cup 41. This curved area 111 provides space for the water cup 41, effectively accommodating the water cup 41 while ensuring a more natural and smooth integration of the water cup 41 with the housing 10. This effectively utilizes space without affecting the overall appearance of the housing 10. Furthermore, the curved area 111 limits the range of movement of the water cup 41, reducing the risk of the water cup 41 shaking or falling due to external impact, thereby protecting the water cup 41 and the water supply connector 23 from damage. The curved area 111 defines a communication opening 113, through which the first connector 232 extends to the exterior of the housing 10.

[0060] Furthermore, please combine Figure 1 、 Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the front panel 11 also includes a mounting surface 114 provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped area 111, and the mounting surface 114 is provided with two positioning grooves 1141 set at intervals. The bottom of the water receiving box 70 is provided with two positioning columns 74, and the positioning columns 74 correspond to the positioning grooves 1141 one by one and are inserted into the positioning grooves 1141. By setting the positioning grooves 1141 and the positioning body, a clear positioning point is provided for the assembly of the water receiving box 70 and the front panel 11. After the positioning column 74 is inserted into the positioning grooves 1141, it can ensure that the position of the water receiving box 70 in the horizontal and vertical directions is accurate.

[0061] Furthermore, the cooperation between the positioning groove 1141 and the positioning column 74 can further improve the positioning accuracy of the water receiving box 70 and the front panel 11 after assembly, ensuring that the guide structure 72 is aligned with the connecting port 113 and the first plug-in portion 232 passing through the connecting port 113, ensuring that the water supply connector 23 can be smoothly inserted into the first plug-in port 412 of the water storage cup 41, and reducing the risk of poor connection or damage due to position deviation.

[0062] It should also be noted that when installing the water collection box 70, the positioning column 74 can serve as a guide, helping the user to quickly and accurately place the water collection box 70 in the assembly position, making the installation process simpler and faster, reducing installation time and difficulty. When the water collection box 70 needs to be cleaned or repaired, the positioning column 74 and the positioning groove 1141 also make the disassembly process more convenient.

[0063] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 6 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the main body 231 is further provided with a plurality of first positioning holes 23132, and the wall surface of the front panel 11 facing the first water tank 20 is further provided with a plurality of first positioning posts 112. The plurality of first positioning posts 112 are arranged around the communicating port 113, and the first positioning posts 112 correspond to the first positioning holes 23132 one by one, and each first positioning post 112 is respectively inserted into a first positioning hole 23132. The first positioning posts 112 are connected to the first positioning holes 23132 to improve the assembly accuracy of the water supply connector 23, and the first positioning posts 112 are used to provide support force to the water supply connector 23, thereby improving the stability and impact resistance of the water supply connector 23, and preventing the water supply connector 23 from shaking due to the contact impact between the first plug interface and the first plug portion 232 during the connection between the water storage cup 41 and the first water tank 20. On the one hand, it is conducive to the precise docking of the first plug portion 232 with the first plug interface, and on the other hand, reducing the shaking of the water supply connector 23 is conducive to improving the overall sealing.

[0064] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 6 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the wall surface of the front panel 11 facing the first water tank 20 is further provided with two oppositely arranged locks 115. The two locks 115 are respectively provided on both sides of the main body 231 and clamp and lock the main body 231 to the front panel 11. Specifically, when the water supply connector 23 is fixed to the front panel 11, the two locks 115 clamp the water supply connector 23 from both sides through a specific mechanical structure. The setting of the locks 115 can ensure that the water supply connector 23 is firmly fixed to the front panel 11, preventing the water supply connector 23 from loosening or falling off due to vibration, movement or external force impact of the water supply equipment 1, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the water supply system. During long-term use, it can effectively reduce problems such as water leakage and poor connection caused by loose water supply connector 23, thereby extending the service life of the water supply equipment 1.

[0065] It should also be emphasized that the opposing locks 115 make installation of the water supply connector 23 much simpler and faster. During installation, the water supply connector 23 simply needs to be placed in the correct position and clamped with the locks 115. When the water supply connector 23 needs to be maintained, replaced, or cleaned, the locks 115 can be easily opened and removed from the front panel 11, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0066] The lock 115 can be configured to clamp the main body 231 in a variety of structural ways. For example, in some exemplary embodiments, the lock 115 can be configured as a snap-on 73-type structure, specifically consisting of a holder fixed to the front panel 11 and a movable snap 73. The snap 73 can be snapped into the holder through the action of a spring or other elastic element to clamp the water supply connector 23. In other embodiments, the lock 115 can be configured as a knob-type structure, specifically, two threaded knobs are provided on the front panel 11. By rotating the knobs, each knob drives two clamping blocks to move toward the main body 231, thereby achieving clamping.

[0067] In this embodiment, Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the lock buckle 115 is configured as a cantilever structure provided on the front panel 11 , and the main body 231 is clamped between the two lock buckles 115 through the bending elastic deformation of the cantilever structure.

[0068] Specifically, the lock 115 includes a cantilever portion 1151, a protrusion 1152 and a rib 1153. The cantilever portion 1151 is connected to the front panel 11, and the protrusion 1152 is arranged at the end of the cantilever portion 1151 away from the front panel 11 and protrudes toward the main body 231. When the water supply connector 23 is installed on the front panel 11, the protrusion 1152 is abutted against the end of the main body 231 away from the front panel 11, so that when the water supply connector 23 is subjected to the impact force from the water storage cup 41, the protrusion 1152 is used to provide support force to the main body 231, thereby reducing the shaking of the water supply connector 23 relative to the front panel 11 and preventing the water supply connector 23 from falling off the front panel 11.

[0069] Ribs 1153 are located on the side of the cantilever portion 1151 facing away from the main body 231 and are connected to the front panel 11 and the cantilever portion 1151, respectively. The provision of ribs 1153 enhances the overall strength and rigidity of the latch 115. During impact, the ribs 1153 can partially absorb the stress, preventing deformation or damage to the latch 115 and thus increasing its service life.

[0070] Furthermore, an inclined guide surface 11521 is provided at one end of the protrusion 1152 facing the first water tank 20. When the front panel 11 is installed, the guide surface 11521 of the protrusion 1152 first contacts the main body 231. As the front panel 11 and the water supply connector 23 gradually approach, the main body 231 of the water supply connector 23 squeezes the guide surface 11521 and causes the two cantilever portions 1151 to undergo elastic deformation in opposite directions. The two cantilever portions 1151 open, so that the main body 231 can move relative to the front panel 11 to between the two cantilever portions 1151. When the main body 231 completely enters the area between the protrusion 1152 and the front panel 11, the two cantilever portions 1151 elastically recover and clamp the main body 231 between the two cantilever portions 1151, and cause the protrusion 1152 to abut against the end of the main body 231 facing away from the front panel 11.

[0071] Furthermore, a support rib 116 is provided on the side wall of the curved region 111 of the front panel 11 facing the first water tank 20. The support rib 116 abuts against the end surface of the main body 231 facing the front panel 11. Along the first direction, the main body 231 is clamped between the support rib 116 and the protrusion 1152. The support rib 116 extends from one latch 73 toward the other latch 73 to increase the contact area between the support rib 116 and the main body 231, thereby improving the connection stability between the water supply connector 23 and the front panel 11.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
