[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The hot can assembly 100 shown includes a can body 11, a fitting 12, and a measuring piece 13. The fitting 12 is fitted to the surface of the can body 11, and the measuring piece 13 is connected to the fitting 12. The heat on the surface of the can body 11 can be transferred to the fitting 12, causing the temperature of the fitting 12 to increase. When the temperature of the fitting 12 increases, the air inside the fitting 12 expands due to the heat, causing the air pressure inside the fitting 12 to increase. The measuring piece 13 is used to detect the air pressure inside the fitting 12, and the temperature change on the surface of the can body 11 is indirectly displayed by the change in the air pressure inside the fitting 12; please refer to Figure 6 The above-mentioned hot can assembly 100 also includes an alarm component 14, which is connected to the measuring component 13. The alarm component 14 is used to monitor the degree of change of the measuring component 13. When the air pressure inside the fitting component 12 reaches a predetermined level, the alarm component 14 monitors the change of the measuring component 13 and issues an alarm to indicate that the surface temperature of the can body 11 is too high.

[0037] The above-mentioned adhesive member 12 is attached to the surface of the tank body 11, and can cover a larger area of ​​the surface of the tank body 11, thereby more fully receiving the heat from the surface of the tank body 11, making the sensing of the surface temperature of the tank body 11 more accurate. Moreover, no matter how the temperature of any part within the range of attachment of the adhesive member 12 increases, the temperature of the adhesive member 12 will increase, causing the internal air pressure of the adhesive member 12 to change, and the monitoring range is relatively large. Since the adhesive member 12 is attached to the surface of the tank body 11, it can greatly reduce the space occupied by the internal space of the water purifier, and thus can achieve the temperature monitoring of the surface of the tank body 11 without affecting the volume of the water purifier.

[0038] The following will introduce the technical details of each component one by one.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the above-mentioned fitting 12 surrounds and fits the surface of the can body 11, and a first cavity 01 is defined inside the fitting 12. Correspondingly, a second cavity 02 is defined inside the above-mentioned measuring piece 13. The first cavity 01 and the second cavity 02 are connected by a pipe. If the temperature of the fitting 12 rises, the gas inside the first cavity 01 will expand and the pressure will increase. Since the first cavity 01 and the second cavity 02 are connected, the increase in the pressure inside the first cavity 01 will also cause the pressure inside the second cavity 02 to increase. The above-mentioned measuring piece 13 can monitor the temperature of the surface of the can body 11 by monitoring the pressure inside the second cavity 02. Because the fitting 12 absorbs the heat from the surface of the tank body 11, the temperature of the gas inside the first cavity 01 is higher. The high-temperature gas may damage the measuring part 13 or cause inaccurate air pressure measurement. The temperature of the gas will decrease in the process of the gas passing through the pipeline into the second cavity 02. Measuring the inside of the second cavity 02 with the measuring part 13 can reduce the impact of the high-temperature gas on the measuring part 13, making the measuring part 13 more accurate in monitoring the air pressure changes, thereby improving the accuracy of monitoring the surface temperature of the tank body 11.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the above-mentioned fitting part 12 includes multiple fitting units 121 and a connecting part 122. The fitting unit 121 is used to fit with the surface of the tank body 11. The connecting part 122 is arranged between two adjacent fitting units 121 to connect the two adjacent fitting units 121. A first channel 03 is opened inside the above-mentioned connecting part 122, and a chamber 011 is opened inside the above-mentioned fitting unit 121. The first channel 03 is used to connect the chambers 011 inside the two adjacent fitting units 121 to form the above-mentioned first cavity 01.

[0041] In actual applications, the design of the multiple bonding units 121 can greatly facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the bonding member 12, making the hot pot assembly 100 more convenient in actual production and use.

[0042] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the connecting member 122 includes a first end 1221, a second end 1222, and a deformable portion 1223. The first end 1221 and the second end 1222 are respectively located at opposite ends of the deformable portion 1223 for connecting the bonding unit 121. The deformable portion 1223 can be bent and deformed to a predetermined degree. In actual application, when the bonding unit 121 is bonded to the surface of the tank body 11, due to errors in the processing process, the bonding unit 121 and the surface of the tank body 11 may not be bonded tightly enough. The deformable portion 1223 allows the connecting member 122 to be properly moved after being connected to the bonding unit 121 through the bending deformation of the deformable portion 1223, so that the bonding unit 121 can be bonded more tightly to the surface of the tank body 11, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency between the surface of the tank body 11 and the bonding member 12, so that the air pressure inside the bonding member 12 can change more sensitively with the temperature change of the surface of the tank body 11.

[0043] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned fitting 12 also includes a tightening piece 123, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the ends of two adjacent fitting units 121. The tightening piece 123 fits and fixes the fitting 12 to the surface of the can body 11 by shortening the distance between the ends of the two adjacent fitting units 121.

[0044] like Figure 7 、 Figure 9 As shown, the tightening member 123 includes a screw and a nut, and the ends of the two adjacent fitting units 121 that are close to each other are provided with a connecting seat. The screw passes through the two connecting seats and is connected to the nut. The two adjacent fitting units 121 can be tightened or loosened by rotating the nut. While facilitating fixation, the fitting unit 121 can be tightened to make the fitting 12 and the surface of the tank body 11 fit more closely, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency between the surface of the tank body 11 and the fitting 12, so that the air pressure inside the fitting 12 can change more sensitively with the change of the temperature on the surface of the tank body 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figure 6As shown, the measuring member 13 includes a box body 131, a diaphragm 132, a display liquid 133 and a display tube 134. The second cavity 02 is opened inside the box body 131. The diaphragm 132 is arranged inside the box body 131 to separate the second cavity 02 into two parts. The second cavity 02 includes a gas phase part 021 and a liquid phase part 022. The gas phase part 021 and the liquid phase part 022 are respectively located on both sides of the diaphragm 132. The diaphragm 132 completely separates the gas phase part 021 and the liquid phase part 022. A second channel is opened inside the display tube 134. The second channel is used to circulate the display liquid 133. One side of the display tube 134 One end is sealed and inserted into the box body 131, and the other end is sealed. The display liquid 133 is contained within the liquid phase portion 022. The gas phase portion 021 is connected to the first cavity 01, and the liquid phase portion 022 is connected to the second channel. An increase in the air pressure inside the first cavity 01 will increase the air pressure inside the gas phase portion 021, thereby pressing the diaphragm 132 and causing the display liquid 133 to flow along the second channel. The display liquid 133 can be a liquid with good fluidity and color. The position of the display liquid 133 inside the second channel can be used to determine the air pressure inside the first cavity 01, and thus the surface temperature of the tank body 11. The above design can achieve temperature monitoring of the tank body 11 surface without the use of electronic components, which is less prone to failure and saves production costs.

[0046] In some embodiments, the alarm element 14 includes an alarm bell and a first sensor 141, and the first sensor 141 is electrically connected to the alarm bell. Figure 6 As shown, the first sensor 141 is set at a predetermined position of the second channel 03 to monitor the position of the display liquid 133. When the display liquid 133 rises to the predetermined position, the sensor will send a signal, and then the alarm will sound an alarm to remind the user that the surface temperature of the tank body 11 is too high.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned hot can assembly 100 also includes a temperature measuring device 15, which includes a second sensor 151 and a display 152. The second sensor 151 is connected to the bonding part 12 for measuring the temperature of the bonding part 12, and the display 152 is electrically connected to the second sensor 151 for displaying the temperature of the bonding part 12.

[0048] In actual application, since the interior of the fitting 12 and the interior of the measuring part 13 need to maintain good airtightness after being connected, the temperature of the surface of the tank body 11 can be accurately monitored. If leakage occurs, the temperature of the surface of the tank body 11 cannot be monitored. The temperature measuring device 15 can monitor the temperature of a certain part of the fitting 12. The fitting 12 is made of metal material and has good thermal conductivity. The temperature measuring device 15 can monitor the temperature of the surface of the fitting 12 when there is a leak, thereby further preventing the occurrence of accidents.

[0049] The present application also provides a water purifier, which includes a shell 200 and a hot tank assembly 100. The hot tank assembly 100 is arranged inside the shell 200, and the measuring piece 13 is fixed on the shell 200. The measuring piece 13 is connected to the outside world to facilitate real-time observation by the operator.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the measuring piece 13 is arranged on the inner side of the shell 200, and a light-transmitting portion 21 is provided on the shell 200. The light-transmitting portion 21 can be made of transparent plastic or acrylic. The light-transmitting portion 21 is arranged opposite to the measuring piece 13. Such a design can protect the measuring piece 13 on the inner side of the shell 200, and it is also convenient for the user to observe.
