The use of "first" and "second" is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and is not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly specifying the number or order of the technical features indicated.

[0046] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0047] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0048] In the related art, a water dispenser is generally provided with a warm water tank and a boiled water tank. The warm water tank provides warm water, and the boiled water tank provides boiled water. The warm water tank and the boiled water tank are independent of each other. The capacity of the boiled water tank is limited. When the amount of boiled water used is large, it is necessary to wait for the water in the boiled water tank to boil.

[0049] To this end, existing hot water tanks are generally improved by increasing the capacity of the hot water tank or increasing the heating power of the hot water tank heater, both in terms of increasing the hot water storage capacity and improving the heating efficiency. However, when the temperature is high, the amount of hot water used decreases significantly, and increasing the capacity and heating power of the hot water tank results in a large waste of electricity.

[0050] Based on this, an embodiment of the utility model provides a boiled water dispenser. When the user's hot water consumption is significantly greater than warm water, the controller is switched to the second mode. The controller controls the second heater 210 to heat the water in the second water tank 200 to produce hot water, so that both the first water tank 100 and the second water tank 200 can output hot water, so as to increase the amount of hot water and make it easier for users to use hot water.

[0051] When the amount of boiled water used is large, the second mode is turned on to increase the amount of hot water; when the amount of boiled water used is small, the first mode is turned on to reduce power consumption.

[0052] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The boiled water drinking machine according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below with a specific example to illustrate the boiled water drinking machine.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the boiled water dispenser includes a first water tank 100, a second water tank 200, and a controller.

[0054] A first heater 110 and a first temperature sensor are provided inside the first water tank 100 . The first heater 110 is used to heat the first water tank 100 , and the first temperature sensor is used to detect the water temperature inside the first water tank 100 .

[0055] The first heater 110 and the first temperature sensor are electrically connected to the controller. The controller controls the first heater 110 to heat the water in the first water tank 100 until the first temperature sensor measures a water temperature in the first water tank 100 greater than 80°C.

[0056] A second heater 210 and a second temperature sensor are provided inside the second water tank 200 . The second heater 210 is used to heat the second water tank 200 , and the second temperature sensor is used to detect the water temperature inside the second water tank 200 .

[0057] The second heater 210 and the second temperature sensor are electrically connected to the controller, and the controller controls the heating mode of the second heater 210 to be a first mode and a second mode.

[0058] The controller switches to the first mode, and the controller controls the second heater 210 to heat the water in the second water tank 200 until the second temperature sensor measures that the water temperature of the second water tank 200 is greater than 30°C, or after the second temperature sensor measures that the water temperature of the second water tank 200 is greater than 60°C, the controller controls the second heater 210 to stop heating.

[0059] The controller switches to the second mode, and controls the second heater 210 to heat the water in the second water tank 200 until the second temperature sensor measures that the water temperature in the second water tank 200 is greater than 80°C.

[0060] During normal use, the controller switches to the first mode, controls the second heater 210 to heat the water in the second water tank 200 to produce warm water, and controls the first heater 110 to heat the water in the first water tank 100 to produce hot water, so that users can use warm water and hot water.

[0061] When the user's hot water usage is significantly greater than warm water, the controller is switched to the second mode. The controller controls the second heater 210 to heat the water in the second water tank 200 to produce hot water, so that both the first water tank 100 and the second water tank 200 can output hot water, so as to increase the amount of hot water and make it easier for users to use hot water.

[0062] When the amount of boiled water used is large, the second mode is turned on to increase the amount of hot water; when the amount of boiled water used is small, the first mode is turned on to reduce power consumption.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the boiled water drinking machine is further provided with a combination valve 300 , a water supply pipe 400 , a water pump 410 , and a first water inlet valve 420 .

[0064] The combination valve 300 includes a first chamber 310 , a second chamber 320 , a water outlet chamber 330 , a first valve core 340 , and a second valve core 350 .

[0065] The first chamber 310 is separated from the second chamber 320. The first chamber 310 is connected to the first water tank 100 through a first pipe. The water outlet chamber 330 is provided with a water outlet 331, which is connected to the outside to release hot water or warm water. The water outlet chamber 330 is also provided with a first water inlet 332, which is connected to the first chamber 310 so that hot water can flow from the first chamber 310 into the water outlet chamber 330 through the first water inlet 332. The water outlet chamber 330 is also provided with a second water inlet 333, which is connected to the second chamber 320 so that warm water can flow from the second chamber 320 into the water outlet chamber 330 through the second water inlet 330.

[0066] The first valve core 340 is disposed at the first water inlet 332 . The first valve core 340 opens the first water inlet 332 , allowing hot water to flow from the first chamber 310 into the water outlet chamber 330 through the first water inlet 332 and out of the water outlet 331 .

[0067] The second valve core 350 is disposed at the second water inlet 333 . The second valve core 350 opens the second water inlet 333 , allowing warm water to flow from the second chamber 320 into the water outlet chamber 330 through the second water inlet 333 and out of the water outlet 331 .

[0068] In this embodiment, the first valve core 340 and the second valve core 350 can be opened by the user through a button trigger, so that the user can use hot water or warm water.

[0069] The water supply pipe 400 connects the first water tank 100 and the second chamber 320, and the two ends of the water pump 410 are respectively connected to the second water tank 200 and the second chamber 320 through the second pipe. The first water inlet valve 420 is set in the water supply pipe 400, and the first water inlet valve 420 controls the on and off of the water supply pipe 400.

[0070] The water pump 410 can transport the warm water in the second water tank 200 to the second chamber 320 , and the water pump 410 can also transport the water in the second chamber 320 to the second water tank 200 .

[0071] When the controller is in the first mode or the second mode, the water pump 410 is turned on to transfer the water in the second water tank 200 to the second chamber 320 , and the second valve core 350 is opened to allow the water in the second chamber 320 to flow out from the water outlet 331 to the outside.

[0072] After the second valve core 350 closes the second water inlet 333, the first water inlet valve 420 is opened, and the water pump 410 transports the warm water in the second water tank 200 to the second chamber 320. The warm water then flows into the first water tank 100 through the water supply pipe 400. The warm water is replenished into the first water tank 100 and heated into hot water, which helps to improve the heating efficiency of the first water tank 100, so as to speed up the production of hot water and make it easier for users to use it.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the water pump 410 and the first water inlet valve 420 are electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is also configured with a third mode. When the controller switches to the third mode, the controller controls the first water inlet valve 420 to open, and controls the water pump 410 to start and transport the water in the second chamber 320 to the second water tank 200.

[0074] Therefore, the water pump 410 transports the hot water flowing into the second chamber 320 from the water supply pipe 400 to the second water tank 200. The hot water flows through the water supply pipe 400, the second chamber 320, the second pipeline, the water pump 410, and the second water tank 200 in sequence, thereby allowing the hot water to be used for high-temperature sterilization of the above-mentioned pipes and components.

[0075] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the boiled water dispenser is further provided with a drain pipe 430 and a drain valve 440 . The drain pipe 430 connects the second water tank 200 with the outside world. The drain valve 440 is provided on the drain pipe 430 . The drain valve 440 controls the on and off of the drain pipe 430 .

[0076] After the second water tank 200 is sterilized with hot water at high temperature, the drain valve 440 can be opened to discharge the water in the second water tank 200 to the outside, ensuring that the sterilized water in the second water tank 200 is emptied.

[0077] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, the first valve core 340 and the second valve core 350 are electrically connected to the controller. When the controller switches to the third mode, the controller controls the first valve core 340 and the second valve core 350 to be closed.

[0078] When the water supply pipe 400, the second chamber 320, the second pipeline, the water pump 410, and the second water tank 200 are sterilized at high temperature using the hot water in the first water tank 100, the first valve core 340 and the second valve core 350 are closed to prevent the hot water from flowing out, thereby preventing the user from taking the high-temperature sterilized treated water during the third mode.

[0079] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the boiled water dispenser is further provided with an overflow pipe 450, which is arranged in the second water tank 200, with the top of the overflow pipe 450 located at the upper section of the second water tank 200, and the bottom of the overflow pipe 450 connected to the outside.

[0080] The overflow pipe 450 can ensure that the water in the second water tank 200 does not exceed the limit, and when the controller switches to the third mode, hot water flows into the second water tank 200 until the liquid level is higher than the top of the overflow pipe 450, so that a sufficient volume of hot water flows in to sterilize the interior of the second water tank 200 at high temperature.

[0081] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the boiled water dispenser is further provided with a water inlet pipe 460 , which is connected to the second water tank 200 .

[0082] External water flows into the second water tank 200 from the water inlet pipe 460, that is, the external water added to the first water tank 100 needs to be preheated by the second water tank 200, which helps to improve the heating efficiency of the hot water in the first water tank 100 and accelerate the hot water production efficiency in the first water tank 100.

[0083] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the boiled water dispenser is further provided with a second water inlet valve 470 and a multi-stage filter assembly 480 . The second water inlet valve 470 and the multi-stage filter assembly 480 are both provided on the water inlet pipe 460 , and the second water inlet valve 470 controls the on-off of the water inlet pipe 460 .

[0084] After the second water inlet valve 470 is opened, the external water is filtered by the multi-stage filter assembly 480 and then flows into the second water tank 200, which helps to improve the cleanliness of the water in the second water tank 200.

[0085] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, there are two combination valves 300, and two water supply branches are set at one end of the water supply pipe 400. The two water supply branches are respectively connected to the second chambers 320 of the two combination valves 300, and the other end of the water supply pipe 400 is connected to the first water tank 100. Two water pump branches are set at one end of the water pump 410. The two water pump branches are respectively connected to the second chambers 320 of the two combination valves 300, and the other end of the water pump 410 is connected to the second water tank 200.

[0086] Two or more combination valves 300 are provided so that the user can use one or more combination valves 300 to obtain hot water or warm water at the same time.

[0087] In some embodiments, the boiled water dispenser is further provided with an exhaust pipe 490 , which connects the top of the first water tank 100 and the top of the second water tank 200 .

[0088] The exhaust pipe 490 balances the air pressure of the first water tank 100 and the second water tank 200, so as to balance the air pressure when the second water tank 200 delivers warm water to the first water tank 100 or the first water tank 100 delivers hot water to the second water tank 200, ensuring smooth water flow, and the high-temperature gas in the first water tank 100 can enter the top of the second water tank 200 to perform high-temperature sterilization on the top of the second water tank 200.

[0089] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
