Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice water drinking machines, in particular to an easily disassembled ice water integrated machine control structure. Background Art

[0002] A chiller / water dispenser typically refers to a drinking water appliance that integrates cooling, heating, and purification functions. This device can provide users with clean, delicious iced or hot water, meeting people's drinking water needs in various situations. The chiller / water dispenser can provide chilled or hot water as needed. The cooling function is usually achieved through a built-in refrigeration system, which cools the water to a suitable drinking temperature. The heating function uses a heating element to heat the water to boiling or a suitable drinking temperature. A chiller / water dispenser typically uses a touchscreen or push-button interface, allowing users to select cooling, heating, or purification functions as needed. The operation is simple and easy to understand. A chiller / water dispenser can provide families with clean, delicious drinking water, meeting the drinking water needs of family members in various situations. For example, in the hot summer, a chiller / water dispenser can provide cool iced water to help people cool down and quench their thirst. In cold commercial spaces such as restaurants, cafes, and offices, a chiller / water dispenser can provide consumers with refreshing and delicious hot and cold water, improving their drinking water experience and satisfaction. At the same time, this device can also serve as a value-added service for commercial venues, increasing their competitiveness. In the cold winter, a chiller / water dispenser can provide warm hot water for people to feel warm and comfortable.

[0003] Compared with ordinary water dispensers, the integrated water chiller requires a control system because of the need to control cooling and heating. Moreover, since most integrated water chillers are equipped with an ice-making module, regular maintenance is required to ensure normal use. The control circuit of the conventional integrated water chiller is set inside the water dispenser shell. The shell needs to be disassembled for maintenance, which is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, an integrated water chiller that can be quickly disassembled and installed at the control circuit position is needed. Utility Model Content

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the clamping structure on base 2 is base connecting column 21 and base slot 22, the base connecting column 21 is arranged above base 2, the base slot 22 is arranged at the edge of base 2 away from water dispenser body 1, the cover plate 3 is provided with sleeve-shaped cover plate connecting column 31 below and the position corresponds to base connecting column 21, and cover plate clamping piece 32 is arranged at the edge of cover plate 3, the cover plate clamping piece 32 is inverted right triangle shape, and the cover plate clamping piece 32 can be clamped into base slot 22 to realize connection.

[0029] The hole in the bottom of cover plate connecting column 31 is provided with chamfer, by the chamfer, even if there is a little deviation between cover plate 3 and base 2, installation and fixation can be realized.

[0030] The edge of cover plate 3 and base 2 close to water dispenser body 1 is provided with clamping jaw 102, and the clamping jaws 102 on base 2 and cover plate 3 are staggered.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 5-Figure 6The cover plate 3 is provided with a screw hole 33 at the edge of the side close to the water dispenser body 1. The screw hole 33 and the screw at the base connecting plate 24 are located at the same horizontal position to avoid collision between the cover plate 3 and the screw when the cover plate 3 is pressed for installation and removal.

[0032] The water pipe 231 is made of a transparent material, which allows the user to visually observe the water flow in the pipe, making it easier to promptly discover and deal with potential water flow problems.

[0033] The cover plate 3 is thicker on both sides than on the side with the snap-in feature. Reinforcing ribs are provided on the inner wall of the cover plate 3 and the base 2.
