[0060] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a drinking water device, such as a water dispenser, coffee machine, or tea dispenser. The drinking water device includes a body, on which is disposed a spout assembly configured to provide drinking water to a user. The spout assembly is further configured to automatically move up and down to adjust its height, thereby achieving automatic height adjustment to meet the water requirements of cups of varying heights.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 5 The spout assembly includes a spout module 100. The spout module 100 includes a housing 110. The housing 110 has a rectangular outer contour. A mounting cavity is formed within the housing 110, and a spout 120 is disposed within the mounting cavity. A water outlet 122 of the spout 120 is exposed from the bottom of the housing 110 to facilitate water collection by a user.

[0062] The spout assembly includes a bracket 200. Bracket 200 is fixed to the drinking device, such as the front panel. Bracket 200 serves as a mounting support for the spout module 100. The spout module 100 slides on bracket 200. The spout module 100 is configured to automatically move up and down along bracket 200 to automatically adjust its height.

[0063] A first slide portion 130 is provided on the housing 110, and a second slide portion 230 is provided on the bracket 200. The first slide portion 130 and the second slide portion 230 slidably cooperate to provide a guide for the up and down movement of the spout module 100. The sliding cooperation between the first slide portion 130 and the second slide portion 230 establishes a slide connection between the spout module 100 and the bracket 200.

[0064] The spout module 100 includes a driving module 300. The driving module 300 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 200. The driving module 300 is configured to drive the spout module 100 to move up and down along the bracket 200 to adjust the height.

[0065] The driving module 300 provides movement power for the water spout module 100 . Driven by the driving module 300 , the water spout module 100 moves upward or downward along the first slide portion 130 to achieve automatic adjustment of the height position.

[0066] The spout module 100 includes a detection module configured to detect the descending position of the spout module 100 , and the driving module 300 stops working after the spout module 100 descends to a target height position.

[0067] When the user receives water, the cup is placed on the water receiving platform of the drinking water device, and the cup is located below the water spout module 100. The user sends a water receiving instruction below, and the driving module 300 is started. The driving module 300 drives the water spout module 100 to move downward, reducing the height difference between the water spout module 100 and the cup. After the detection module detects that the water spout module 100 has dropped to the target height position, the driving module 300 stops working, the water spout module 100 stops at the target height position, and the water spout 120 starts to fill water into the cup.

[0068] The position of the water spout module 100 is detected by the detection module to prevent the water spout module 100 from descending too low and interfering with the water cup.

[0069] The drinking water device disclosed in the present invention can realize automatic height adjustment of the water spout module 100 without manual adjustment, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0070] In some embodiments, reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 The drive module 300 includes a motor 310 and a gear 320. The gear 320 is fixedly provided at the power output end (motor shaft 311) of the motor 310. The motor 310 is fixedly provided on the bracket 200, thereby achieving a fixed installation of the drive module 300 on the bracket 200.

[0071] Reference Figure 3A rack 180 is fixedly provided on the rear outer wall of the housing 110 , and the rack 180 extends along the height direction of the housing 110 . The rack 180 is engaged with the gear 320 .

[0072] The motor 310 is started, driving the gear 320 to rotate, and through the engagement between the gear 320 and the rack 180, the water spout module 100 is driven to move upward or downward synchronously, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the height of the water spout module 100.

[0073] For example, the motor 310 rotates forward to drive the water spout module 100 to move upward; the motor 310 rotates reversely to drive the water spout module 100 to move downward.

[0074] In some embodiments, reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 The driving module 300 includes a housing 330 . The housing 330 is configured to shield the motor 310 and the gear 320 . The housing 330 is fixed to the bracket 200 .

[0075] The housing 330 includes a first housing 331 , a second housing 332 and a third housing 333 in an integrated structure. The second housing 332 is connected between the first housing 331 and the third housing 333 .

[0076] The first housing 331 is a hollow cylindrical structure, with one end open and the other end having a sidewall secured to the second housing 332. The sidewall is provided with an axial hole 334. The motor 310 is inserted into the hollow cylindrical cavity of the first housing 331 through the open end. At least a portion of the motor 310 is positioned within the hollow cylindrical cavity. The shaft of the motor 310 extends through the axial hole 334, and the end of the shaft of the motor 310 is secured to the gear 320.

[0077] The second cover 332 is a plate-like structure. A reinforcing rib 336 is provided on the plate-like structure. The reinforcing rib 336 is connected between the first cover 331 and the second cover 332 to improve the structural strength of the cover 330 .

[0078] The second cover 332 is provided with screw holes 335. Figure 12 A screw column 210 is correspondingly provided on the bracket 200 , and screws are driven between the screw holes 335 and the screw columns 210 to fix the cover 330 to the bracket 200 .

[0079] The third cover shell 333 is an arc-shaped cover plate structure, and the third cover shell 333 covers the upper half of the gear 320 .

[0080] The bracket 200 is provided with an escape space for the gear 320 to give way so as not to interfere with the rotation of the gear 320. The bracket 200 is provided with an escape opening 240, and a portion of the gear 320 extends from the escape opening 240 to engage with the rack 180.

[0081] The driving module 300 is fixed to the bracket 200 via the cover 330 , thereby improving structural reliability and making the structure compact.

[0082] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 、 Figures 5 to 8 The detection module includes a float 400 and a float switch 500. The float 400 is disposed at the bottom of the housing 110 and can move up and down under the action of an external force. The float switch 500 is disposed in the inner cavity of the housing 110.

[0083] The float 400 is configured to move upward after abutting against the water receiving cup and trigger the float switch 500 , and the driving module 300 stops the water outlet module 100 from descending according to the signal of the float switch 500 .

[0084] When receiving water, the cup is placed on the water receiving platform of the drinking water device, and the cup is located below the water spout module 100. The user sends a water receiving instruction, and the drive module 300 is started. The drive module 300 drives the water spout module 100 to move downward, reducing the height difference between the water spout module 100 and the water cup, until the water spout module 100 drops to the point where the buoy 400 abuts against the top edge of the water cup. As the water spout module 100 continues to drop, the buoy 400 moves upward due to the abutment of the cup, and the buoy 400 triggers the buoy switch 500. The control system of the drinking water device receives the signal from the buoy switch 500, and sends a stop instruction to the bottom of the drive module 300. The motor 310 stops, the water spout module 100 stops dropping, and stops at this height position. Then the water spout 120 starts to pour water into the cup.

[0085] By providing the float 400 and the float switch 500 , the descending position of the water spout module 100 is detected to prevent the water spout module 100 from descending too low and interfering with the water cup.

[0086] In some embodiments, the float 400 is configured to move upward after abutting against the water receiving cup and trigger the float switch 500. The driving module 300 drives the water outlet module 100 to move upward a set distance according to the signal of the float switch 500 and then stops working.

[0087] When receiving water, the cup is placed on the water receiving platform of the drinking water device, and the cup is located below the water spout module 100. The user sends a water receiving instruction, and the driving module 300 is started. The driving module 300 drives the water spout module 100 to move downward, reducing the height difference between the water spout module 100 and the water cup, until the water spout module 100 drops to the point where the buoy 400 abuts against the top edge of the cup. As the water spout module 100 continues to drop, the buoy 400 moves upward due to the abutment of the cup, and the buoy 400 triggers the buoy switch 500. The control system of the drinking water device receives the signal from the buoy switch 500 and sends a reverse motion signal to the bottom of the driving module 300, that is, the motor 310 reverses, driving the water spout module 100 to move upward for a set distance (for example, 2-8 mm). After that, the motor 310 stops, the water spout module 100 stops dropping, and stops at this height position. Then the water spout 120 starts to pour water into the cup.

[0088] After the buoy 400 contacts the edge of the water cup, the water spout module 100 moves upward for a short distance and then stops, so as to avoid the buoy 400 from being in contact with the water cup for a long time.

[0089] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 The buoy 400 includes a buoy body 410, the lower side of which is configured to abut against the water receiving cup. A first mounting portion 420 is fixedly provided on the upper side of the buoy body 410. For example, the first mounting portion 420 is integrally formed with the buoy body 410.

[0090] Reference Figure 4 The bottom wall of the housing 110 is provided with an opening 113, and the first mounting portion 420 is located in the opening 113. The first mounting portion 420 moves up and down along the opening 113. A third stopper 421 is provided on the first mounting portion 420. The third stopper 421 is configured to abut against the bottom wall of the housing 110 to prevent the buoy 400 from separating from the housing 110.

[0091] For example, the third limiting portion 421 is a hook 221 , and the third limiting portion 421 is engaged with the bottom wall of the housing 110 to limit the downward displacement of the buoy 400 and prevent the buoy 400 from separating from the housing 110 .

[0092] The float body 410 is a long plate-like structure to accommodate water cups of different diameters, ensuring that the float body 410 can touch the top rim of the water cup when the water spout module 100 descends.

[0093] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 A mounting post 114 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 110 (eg, the rear housing 112 ), and the float switch 500 is fixed to the mounting post 114 by means of snap connection, screws, etc., thereby achieving fixed installation of the float switch 500 in the housing 110 .

[0094] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 A second mounting portion 430 is provided on the upper side of the buoy main body 410 , and the second mounting portion 430 is integrally formed with the buoy main body 410 .

[0095] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The water outlet module 100 includes a water outlet 120 , which is fixed to the inner cavity of the housing 110 by means of screws or the like.

[0096] An elastic member 700 , such as a spring, is disposed between the second mounting portion 430 and the water outlet 120 . The elastic member 700 is configured to apply a force to the buoy 400 to move downwardly of the housing 110 .

[0097] When the buoy body 410 is pushed upward by the cup, the elastic member 700 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy. When the spout module 100 moves upward, the buoy 400 moves upward and away from the cup. The elastic force of the elastic member 700 then causes the buoy 400 to move downward, returning to its original position.

[0098] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 , the first positioning column 431 is integrally formed on the second mounting portion 430. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The second positioning column 121 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the water outlet 120. The elastic member 700 is a spring, the upper end of the spring is sleeved on the second positioning column 121, and the lower end is sleeved on the first positioning column 431.

[0099] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 9 The detection module includes a detection switch 600 , which is fixed to the bracket 200 .

[0100] A first limiting portion 171 and a second limiting portion 172 are provided on the outer wall surface of the housing 110 . The first limiting portion 171 is located above the second limiting portion 172 .

[0101] The first limiting portion 171 is configured to contact the detection switch 600 to limit the descending position of the water spout module 100 .

[0102] In other words, when the water spout module 100 moves downward, when the first limit part 171 contacts the detection switch 600, the water spout module 100 reaches the lower limit position of the descent. At this time, the control system of the drinking water equipment receives the signal of the detection switch 600, sends a stop signal to the drive module 300, the motor 310 stops, and the water spout module 100 stops.

[0103] The second limiting portion 172 is configured to contact the detection switch 600 to limit the upward movement position of the water spout module 100 .

[0104] In other words, when the water spout module 100 moves upward, when the second limit part 172 contacts the detection switch 600, the water spout module 100 reaches the upper limit position of the rise. At this time, the control system of the drinking water equipment receives the signal of the detection switch 600, sends a stop signal to the drive module 300, the motor 310 stops, and the water spout module 100 stops.

[0105] In some embodiments, the detection switch 600 is a micro switch. The first limiting portion 171 and the second limiting portion 172 are protruding structures integrally formed on the outer wall of the housing 110 .

[0106] In some embodiments, reference Figure 9 and Figure 12 A mounting groove 220 is provided on the bracket 200 , and a hook 221 is provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 220 . The hook 221 limits the detection switch 600 to be within the mounting groove 220 .

[0107] In some embodiments, when the spout module 100 moves downward and touches the cup before it reaches the lower limit, the spout assembly operates as follows:

[0108] The user places the water cup on the water receiving platform of the drinking water device, and the water cup is located below the water spout module 100. The user issues a water receiving instruction, and the driving module 300 is started. The driving module 300 drives the water spout module 100 to move downward, reducing the height difference between the water spout module 100 and the water cup, until the water spout module 100 drops to the point where the buoy 400 abuts against the top edge of the water cup. As the water spout module 100 continues to drop, the buoy 400 moves upward due to the abutment of the cup, and the buoy 400 triggers the buoy switch 500. The control system of the drinking water device receives the signal from the buoy switch 500 and sends a reverse motion signal to the bottom of the driving module 300, that is, the motor 310 reverses, driving the water spout module 100 to move upward for a set distance (for example, 2-8 mm). After that, the motor 310 stops, the water spout module 100 stops dropping, and stops at this height position. Then the water spout 120 starts to fill water into the water cup.

[0109] After the water filling is completed, the control system sends an operation instruction to the driving module 300, the motor 310 starts, and the water outlet module 100 moves upward. When the detection switch 600 touches the second limit part 172, the detection switch sends a signal, the motor 310 stops, and the water outlet module 100 stops moving upward.

[0110] In some embodiments, when the spout module 100 moves downward, when the spout module 100 drops to the lower limit position so as not to touch the cup, the spout assembly operates as follows:

[0111] The user places the water cup on the water receiving platform of the drinking water device, and the water cup is located below the water spout module 100. The user issues a water receiving instruction, the driving module 300 is started, and the driving module 300 drives the water spout module 100 to move downward, reducing the height difference between the water spout module 100 and the water cup.
