[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application discloses a water filling mechanism for a water dispenser.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A water filling mechanism for a water dispenser includes a body 1, which includes a placement box 2 arranged at the bottom thereof, an extension plate 3 arranged in the placement box 2, and the extension plate 3 includes a connecting portion 31 and a supporting portion 32. The connecting portion 31 and the supporting portion 32 are arranged perpendicularly, so that the entire extension plate 3 presents an L-shaped structure or a T-shaped structure. In the present application, a storage groove 311 is opened on the side of the connecting portion 31 away from the connecting piece, and the storage groove 311 is adapted to the bottom surface of the water bucket 7; an arc-shaped groove 321 is opened on the side of the supporting portion 32, and the side of the water bucket 7 is adapted to be snapped into the arc-shaped groove 321. Anti-slip parts are respectively provided on the inner cavity of the storage groove 311 and the arc-shaped groove 321.

[0032] In the present application, a storage groove 311 is opened on the side of the connecting portion 31 away from the connecting piece, so that the bottom of the bucket 7 can fit tightly in the storage groove 311, effectively reducing the sliding and deviation of the bucket 7 during the pushing process, and improving the installation stability of the bucket 7. At the same time, the arc groove 321 opened on the side of the supporting portion 32 is adapted to the side of the bucket 7, so that the bucket 7 can be tightly clamped in the arc groove 321 during the pushing process, thereby enhancing the stability of the bucket 7 during the pushing process.

[0033] This application does not specifically limit the specific shape and structure of the anti-slip part. It can be a rubber pad with anti-slip function, or it can be a frosted surface opened in the storage groove 311 and the arc groove 321. The anti-slip part has good anti-slip performance and can provide additional friction to further ensure that the bucket 7 can remain stable when subjected to pushing force.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 , a connecting piece is installed on one side of the connecting part 31, and the connecting piece includes a connecting rod 4 and a first hinge seat 631. The connecting rod 4 is fixed to the side of the connecting part 31, and the first hinge seat 631 is assembled with the end of the connecting rod 4 by an axial connection. A sliding piece is fixed to the bottom of the first hinge seat 631, and the sliding piece is a slider 62 with a dovetail groove. The slider 62 is slidably connected to the bottom wall of the placement box 2. The present application provides two preferred schemes to realize the sliding function of the slider 62. The first is to provide a sliding groove on the bottom wall of the placement box 2, and the slider 62 slides in the sliding groove, which can save the installation space of the slider 62 to a certain extent and make the structure more compact; the second is to fix a slide rail 61 on the bottom wall of the placement box 2, and the extension direction of the slide rail 61 is consistent with the width direction of the placement box 2, and the slider 62 is slidably connected to the slide rail 61.

[0035] In the present application, the number of sliders 62, rails 61, and chutes is consistent. The sliders 62 and rails 61 form a power mechanism, or the sliders 62 and chutes form a power mechanism. There is at least one power mechanism, and two groups are shown in the drawings of the present application. A linkage plate 63 is provided between the two power mechanisms. The linkage plate 63 is assembled with the two sliders 62 at the same time by screw connection. The two first hinge seats 631 are respectively installed at the two ends of the top surface of the linkage plate 63, thereby helping to enhance the force and stability of pushing the water bucket 7, making the driving force more evenly distributed and avoiding the offset or jamming caused by single-point force. The present application can reduce the wear caused by friction by cooperating with the rails 61 and the sliders 62, so that the extension plate 3 can slide smoothly along the rails 61, and the movement stability of the water filling mechanism can be improved, thereby achieving the purpose of extending the service life of the water dispenser.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A connecting rod 5 is movably connected between the connecting piece and the bottom wall of the placement box 2. A second hinge seat 21 is provided on the bottom wall of the placement box 2 near the connecting rod 5. The connecting rod 5 and the second hinge seat 21, and the connecting rod 5 and the connecting rod 4 are respectively connected by axial connection, so that the connecting rod 5 can flexibly adjust the angle during the water filling process, thereby better transmitting the driving force and adapting to the movement requirements of the mechanism, which helps to improve the transmission efficiency of the water filling mechanism.

[0037] During use, the user places the bucket 7 horizontally on the extension plate 3, so that the bottom surface of the bucket 7 abuts against the side of the connecting part 31 facing away from the connector, and at the same time, the side of the bucket 7 abuts against the support part 32, and then pushes the slider 62 with force. With the cooperation of the connector and the connecting rod 5, the extension plate 3 slides along the bottom wall of the placement box 2 and realizes the flipping function at the same time, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically installing the bucket 7, saving users more effort, and helping to improve the convenience of users in installing bottled water.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application. These embodiments are only explanations of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the scope of protection of the present application.
