[0032] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the claimed embodiments are merely examples of the present invention, which may be implemented in a variety of ways. Well-known and / or repetitive functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary or redundant detail. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details claimed herein are not intended to be limiting, but rather serve merely as a basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0033] The first embodiment of the present invention provides a water outlet structure of a vehicle-mounted water dispenser, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the water outlet structure includes a water storage chamber 1, which is equipped with a liquid inlet 11, a liquid outlet 12, and a steam outlet 13. The liquid inlet 11 is connected to the water outlet of the vehicle-mounted water dispenser's heating structure 100. After being heated by the heating mechanism to hot water and water vapor, cold water enters the water storage chamber 1. The hot water is discharged from the liquid outlet 12, and the water vapor is discharged from the steam outlet 13. The separate arrangement of the liquid outlet 12 and the steam outlet 13 ensures smooth, uniform, and gentle drainage, increasing safety and providing passengers with a better riding experience.

[0034] The positions of the liquid inlet 11, the liquid outlet 12, and the steam outlet 13 can be adaptively arranged according to needs. For example, the liquid inlet 11 is arranged at the upper part of one side of the water storage chamber 1, and the liquid outlet 12 and the steam outlet 13 are arranged at the bottom of the water storage chamber 1. Here, the liquid outlet 12 is arranged at the bottom of the water storage chamber 1 to facilitate the outflow of hot water under the action of gravity, and the steam outlet 13 is arranged at the bottom of the water storage chamber 1 to facilitate processing.

[0035] For another example, the liquid inlet 11 is disposed at the upper portion of one side of the water storage chamber 1, the liquid outlet 12 is disposed at the bottom of the water storage chamber 1, and the steam outlet 13 is disposed at the lower portion of the other side of the water storage chamber 1. The liquid outlet 12 is disposed at the bottom of the water storage chamber 1 to facilitate the outflow of hot water under the action of gravity, while the steam outlet 13 is disposed at the lower portion of the other side of the water storage chamber 1 to ensure that the hot water and steam are discharged in different directions, thereby preventing users from being scalded by the steam when removing water from below the liquid outlet 12.

[0036] In this embodiment, the liquid outlet 12 and the steam outlet 13 are arranged at the bottom of the water storage chamber 1, and the steam outlet 13 is arranged around the liquid outlet 12, which has a beautiful appearance.

[0037] In this embodiment, a partition 2 is provided within the water storage chamber 1 to form a steam passage 3 connecting the liquid inlet 11 and the steam outlet 13. Specifically, the partition 2 includes a first vertical partition 21, which separates the water storage chamber 1 into a water storage cavity 14 and a first steam passage 31. A gap is defined between the top of the first vertical partition 21 and the top of the water storage chamber 1, forming a second steam passage 32 within the water storage cavity 14 that connects to the first steam passage 31. After a mixture of hot water and water vapor enters the water storage cavity 14 through the liquid inlet 11, the hot water enters the water storage cavity 14 under the action of gravity. The water vapor then flows from the water storage cavity 14 and the second steam passage 32 into the first steam passage 31 before being discharged from the steam outlet 13, ensuring water vapor separation and preventing splashing.

[0038] The first vertical partition 21 here can be set to a plate shape or an arc shape. The first vertical partition 21 has a first connecting portion 211 extending toward the inner wall of the water storage chamber 1. The first connecting portion 211 connects the first vertical partition 21 with the inner wall of the water storage chamber 1 to form a relatively closed first steam channel 31, separating the first steam channel 31 from the water storage chamber 1, which is conducive to the flow of water vapor from the water storage chamber 1 to the first steam channel 31.

[0039] In this embodiment, the partition 2 further includes a second vertical partition 22, which is disposed near the liquid inlet 11. The second vertical partition 22 extends downward from the top of the water storage chamber 1, with a distance between the bottom of the second vertical partition 22 and the bottom of the water storage chamber 1. The second vertical partition 22 at least partially covers the liquid inlet 11, and the second vertical partition 22 at least partially covers the first vertical partition 21. The second vertical partition 22 serves to guide the flow of hot water into the water storage chamber 1 and the flow of water vapor. The water vapor flows from top to bottom and then from bottom to top into the first steam channel 31, which facilitates the complete separation of water vapor from the hot water mixture.

[0040] The partition 2 also includes a third vertical partition 23, which is positioned adjacent to the first vertical partition 21 and extends downward from the top of the water storage chamber 1. A steam port 33 is formed between the third vertical partition 23 and the top of the first vertical partition 21. Water vapor enters the first steam channel 31 from the steam port 33 through the second steam channel 32. The steam port 33 facilitates the release of pressure generated by heating when the water vapor flows out of the steam port 33.

[0041] The third vertical partition plate 23 can be provided in a plate shape or an arc shape, and the third vertical partition plate 23 has a second connecting portion 231 extending towards the inner wall of the water storage chamber 1, and the second connecting portion 231 forms a relatively closed space along the circumference of the steam port 33, which is conducive to guiding the water vapor to flow towards the steam port 33.

[0042] In the embodiment, the steam buffer cavity 15 is arranged in the water storage chamber 1 and located close to the steam discharge port 13. The water vapor is buffered in the steam buffer cavity 15 before being discharged, and the movement speed of the water vapor is reduced, so that the water vapor is not discharged from the steam discharge port 13 at a high speed to cause scalding to passengers.

[0043] Specifically, the lower portion of the water storage chamber 1 is provided with the transverse support plate 16, the transverse support plate 16, the first vertical partition plate 21 and the side wall of the water storage chamber 1 form the water storage cavity 14, and the steam buffer cavity 15 is formed between the transverse support plate 16 and the bottom of the water storage chamber 1. The transverse support plate 16 in the embodiment simultaneously participates in forming the water storage cavity 14 and the steam buffer cavity 15, so that the number of parts is reduced, the structure is simple, and the production cost is reduced.

[0044] The first vertical partition plate 21, the second vertical partition plate 22, the third vertical partition plate 23 and the transverse support plate 16 in the embodiment can also be arranged in an inclined manner.

[0045] The liquid inlet 11 is screwed with the water outlet end of the heating structure 100, so that the heating structure 100 and the water outlet structure are convenient to install and disassemble, and the existing vehicle-mounted water dispenser can be improved, so that the existing vehicle-mounted water dispenser has the function of discharging hot water and water vapor separately. Meanwhile, the water storage chamber 1 is actually used as a faucet, and the part is improved, so that the floor area of the main body of the vehicle-mounted water dispenser is not greatly increased, and the floor space of the vehicle-mounted water dispenser in the vehicle is saved.

[0046] The sealing rubber strip 4 is arranged between the liquid inlet 11 and the water outlet end of the heating structure 100, so as to improve the sealing performance between the heating structure 100 and the liquid inlet 11 and prevent water and water vapor from leaking.

[0047] The heating structure 100 heats cold water, and the liquid inlet 11 of the water outlet structure is connected with the heating structure 100 to convey the heated water into the water outlet structure, wherein the heating structure 100 comprises a heating chamber 101 and a heating element 102, and the heating element 102 is arranged in the heating chamber 101, for example, the heating element 102 is an electric heating wire, which can rapidly heat the cold water.

[0048] The second embodiment of the utility model provides a vehicle, which comprises a vehicle-mounted water dispenser, and the vehicle-mounted water dispenser comprises the water outlet structure of the vehicle-mounted water dispenser.
