[0025] The device effectively reduces the overall floor area by compactly integrating the ice-making assembly 13, the refrigeration assembly 14 and other key components inside the water dispenser body 1, making it more suitable for placement in limited space such as homes, offices and other places, the design of the horizontal height of the bottom of the connecting seat 11 being lower than that of the water outlet 121 not only avoids the space waste that may be caused by directly placing the water bucket on the top in traditional water dispensers, but also makes the water dispenser more compact in the vertical direction, so that the overall height of the water dispenser is reduced compared with traditional equipment, which allows users to install and use the water dispenser in limited height space, especially in low space such as cabinets, greatly improving the space utilization, and by providing the pump body 111, the internal water supply of the equipment is ensured to be stable, avoiding the situation that the water in the water bucket cannot flow stably by gravity due to the reduced height, the device integrates the ice-making assembly 13 and the refrigeration assembly 14, meeting the needs of users for cold drinks and ice cubes in different occasions, without the need to purchase additional ice machines or other cold drink equipment, saving space and cost, the low water level design of the bottom of the connecting seat 11 can effectively prevent water overflow even in the case of water bucket replacement or water pump failure, ensuring the dryness and safety of the use environment, the water dispenser body 1 adopts the frame structure composed of the side plate 101 and the back plate 102, enhancing the overall stability and load-bearing capacity, ensuring safety and reliability in long-term use.

[0026] The side plate 101 and the back plate 102 are made of stamping, and the side plate 101 and the back plate 102 are arrayed with ventilation holes formed by stamping. The ventilation holes arrayed on the side plate 101 and the back plate 102 are formed by the stamping process, which effectively increases the heat dissipation area of the body of the water dispenser. These ventilation holes allow air to flow freely, especially when the refrigeration assembly 14 is working, which can quickly take away the heat inside the body and reduce the internal temperature, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency. This is of great significance to maintain the long-term stable operation of the water dispenser and prolong the service life. The stamping process is a high-efficiency metal forming method that can accurately manufacture parts with complex shapes and structures. The side plate 101 and the back plate 102 made by stamping not only have accurate shape and stable size, but also have high material utilization rate, which reduces the waste of raw materials. At the same time, the stamping parts are usually lighter than the cast or forged parts, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the water dispenser and facilitates transportation and installation.

[0027] The hot tank 112 is provided with a heating assembly, so that the water flowing through the hot tank 112 can be heated. The water outlet 121 is supplied with water by two water pipes, one of which is connected with the hot tank 112, and the other is connected with the water tank in the ice making assembly 13.

The liquid pipeline for communication between the connecting seat 11, the ice making assembly 13 and the refrigeration assembly 14 is arranged in the body 1 of the water dispenser close to the side plate 101 and the back plate 102. The liquid pipeline for communication between the connecting seat 11, the ice making assembly 13 and the refrigeration assembly 14 is arranged in the body 1 of the water dispenser close to the side plate 101 and the back plate 102. This design not only avoids the clutter caused by the exposed pipeline, but also makes the overall appearance of the water dispenser more neat and beautiful. At the same time, this layout also maximizes the use of the internal space of the body, making the structure of the water dispenser more compact, and allowing the pipeline to be repaired by removing the back plate 102 during maintenance, avoiding the interference caused by the overcomplicated pipeline structure in the compact layout device.

[0028] The bottom center of the body 1 of the water dispenser is provided with a drain outlet, and the bottom corners of the body 1 of the water dispenser are provided with foot pads 103. The foot pads 103 are made of rubber.
