Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of water dispensers, and in particular to a water dispenser tray structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, bottled water dispensers on the market are divided into top-mounted and bottom-mounted types. Top-mounted dispensers require the bottled water to be placed upside down on top of the dispenser, and users need to lift and turn the bottle when changing it, which is very strenuous and inconvenient. Bottom-mounted dispensers, on the other hand, only require users to place the bottled water upright at the bottom of the dispenser. By connecting the water hose to the top of the bottled water, the water is supplied by a water pump. Because bottom-mounted dispensers can effectively overcome the problem of difficult water supply, they are very popular among users.

[0003] In the existing technology, bottom-mounted water dispensers include a base with a latch in the middle. The base is connected to the body of the bottom-mounted water dispenser through a drive component, allowing the base to easily slide or flip. However, since the specifications of water bottles provided by different bottled water suppliers are not consistent, when there is a large gap between the water bottle and the latch, the water bottle is prone to tipping over. The connection between the water bottle and the latch is not good. However, due to the limitations of the connection method between the base and the body, it is difficult for users to disassemble and replace the base to adapt to different sizes of bottled water. Therefore, the current bottom-mounted water dispensers cannot meet the usage needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To improve the installation compatibility between the base and bottled water, this application provides a water dispenser tray structure that can reduce the occurrence of bottled water tipping over.

[0005] This application provides a water dispenser tray structure, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A water dispenser tray structure includes a base, which is mounted on the body of the water dispenser. The inner side of the base has multiple grooves arranged sequentially from the base upwards, with the diameter increasing sequentially to form a stepped groove. The bottom of the water bucket is engaged with the groove that is compatible with it.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the base is provided with multiple grooves of increasing diameter to form a stepped groove, which can accommodate water buckets of different sizes and achieve stable locking. This helps to improve the compatibility between the tray and the water bucket, ensures the stability of the water bucket when placed, and effectively reduces the shaking or tipping of the water bucket due to size mismatch.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the base with stepped grooves and one-piece molding provides good structural stability and can provide sufficient support for the water bucket to maintain its installation stability. In this process, when dealing with water buckets of different sizes, the water bucket and the base can be installed without disassembling the entire base, which improves the installation compatibility between the base and the bottled water, thereby reducing the occurrence of bottled water tipping over and improving the convenience of changing water buckets.

[0009] Preferably, the sidewalls of the trough are fixed with anti-slip components.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and fixing anti-slip components to the side wall of the tank, the friction between the water bucket and the tray can be enhanced, effectively reducing the water bucket from sliding or falling off when subjected to external forces, further improving the safety of the water bucket during use, and extending its service life.

[0011] Preferably, the anti-slip component is an anti-slip soft pad.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and using anti-slip pads as anti-slip components, the friction between the bucket and the tray can be enhanced. At the same time, it can reduce direct contact between hard objects, reduce noise and wear caused by friction in the bucket. In addition, the material of the pads can also play a certain cushioning role, protecting the bucket and the tray from damage, thereby helping to extend the service life of the bucket and the tray.

[0013] Preferably, the anti-slip component has an internal thread, which is spirally arranged along the circumferential wall of the groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the internal thread can increase the roughness of the side wall of the tank, improve the anti-slip effect of the base, and its spiral shape can also play a certain guiding role when placing the water bucket, so that the water bucket can be inserted into the tank more smoothly.

[0015] Compared to other anti-slip components, anti-slip components with internal threads are easier to manufacture and cheaper, which helps to save production costs.

[0016] Preferably, the anti-slip component is an arc-shaped anti-slip strip, and multiple arc-shaped anti-slip strips are provided. Multiple arc-shaped anti-slip strips on the same circumference are distributed at equal intervals, and two arc-shaped anti-slip strips that are close to each other on adjacent circumferences are arranged side by side.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the parallel arrangement of multiple arc-shaped anti-slip strips forms a dense anti-slip network, which greatly enhances the anti-slip effect. At the same time, the design of the arc-shaped anti-slip strips also conforms to the principles of mechanics, which can more effectively resist the lateral force generated by the bucket and maintain the stability of the bucket.

[0018] Preferably, it includes a base, which is mounted on the body of the water dispenser, and a base is mounted on top of the base, with the center of the base and the center of the base on the same straight line.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the base can also provide support, thereby effectively distributing the load borne by the base and reducing deformation or damage to the base caused by excessive pressure or prolonged pressure from the water bucket. At the same time, by aligning the center of the base and the base, the balance of the tray when placing the water bucket can be ensured, reducing the risk of tipping over caused by the shift in the center of gravity of the water bucket. Therefore, the combined effect of the base and the base helps to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the water dispenser tray structure.

[0020] Preferably, the base is a polygonal structure, the base includes a circular mounting cavity, the mounting cavity is located in the middle of the base, and the groove is formed in the inner wall of the mounting cavity.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the polygonal base has higher impact and torsion resistance compared with traditional round or square trays, effectively protecting the internal water bucket from external damage, and also making it easier for operators to install the base.

[0022] Preferably, it includes a drive assembly mounted on the body, the output end of the drive assembly being fitted to the base for driving the base to slide horizontally.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, introducing a drive component, and assembling its output end with the base, the base can slide horizontally, which helps to improve the ease of use and space utilization of the water dispenser tray structure. This allows users to easily adjust the position of the tray as needed to adapt to different usage scenarios and spatial layouts. At the same time, the sliding function also makes it easier for users to clean and maintain the water dispenser, thereby improving the overall service life of the equipment and the user experience.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. In this application, the base with stepped grooves and integral molding has good structural stability and can provide sufficient support for the water bucket to keep it installed stably. In this process, when facing water buckets of different sizes, the water bucket and the base can be installed without disassembling the entire base, which improves the installation compatibility between the base and the bottled water, and achieves the purpose of reducing the phenomenon of bottled water tipping over and improving the convenience of replacing water buckets.

[0026] 2. The parallel arrangement of multiple curved anti-slip strips forms a dense anti-slip network, greatly enhancing the anti-slip effect. At the same time, the design of the curved anti-slip strips also conforms to the principles of mechanics, which can more effectively resist the lateral force generated by the bucket and maintain the stability of the bucket.

[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0036] This application discloses a water dispenser tray structure.

[0037] Reference Figure 1-3 A water dispenser tray structure includes a body 1, a base 2, and a base 3. The body 1 includes a placement box 11 disposed at its bottom. The base 2 is installed on the bottom wall of the placement box 11 of the body 1, and the base 3 is installed on the top of the base 2, such that the center of the base 3 and the center of the base 2 are on the same straight line.

[0038] Specifically, a drive assembly 4 is provided inside the placement box 11. The drive assembly 4 is mounted on the body 1, and its output end is assembled with the base 2 to drive the base 2 to slide horizontally. In this application, by introducing the drive assembly 4 and assembling its output end with the base 2, the horizontal sliding function of the base 2 is realized, which helps to improve the ease of use and space utilization of the water dispenser tray structure, allowing users to easily adjust the position of the tray as needed to adapt to different usage scenarios and spatial layouts.

[0039] More specifically, refer to Figure 4 The base 3 is a polygonal structure. The base 3 includes a circular mounting cavity 35, which is located in the middle of the base 3. Multiple grooves 31 are opened on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 35. The multiple grooves 31 are arranged sequentially from the base 3 upwards, and their diameters increase sequentially to form stepped grooves.

[0040] In application, depending on the actual situation of different sized buckets 5, the bottom of the bucket 5 is snapped into the matching groove 31, which can achieve stable snapping of the bucket 5, improve the compatibility between the tray and the bucket 5, ensure the stability of the bucket 5 when placed, and effectively reduce the shaking or tipping of the bucket 5 due to size mismatch.

[0041] Compared with existing technologies, the base 3, which has a stepped groove and is integrally molded, has good structural stability and can provide sufficient support for the water bucket 5 to maintain its installation stability. In this process, when dealing with water buckets 5 of different sizes, the water bucket 5 can be installed with the base 3 without disassembling the entire base 3, which improves the installation compatibility between the base 3 and the bottled water, and achieves the purpose of reducing the phenomenon of bottled water tipping over and improving the convenience of replacing the water bucket 5.

[0042] Furthermore, the polygonal base 3 has higher impact and torsion resistance compared to traditional round or square trays, effectively protecting the internal water bucket 5 from external damage, and also making it easier for operators to install the base 3.

[0043] To further improve the connection stability between bucket 5 and the tray, refer to... Figure 4 The side wall of the tank 31 is fixed with an anti-slip component. This application does not specifically limit the material and shape of the anti-slip component, but requires that the anti-slip component be fixed to the side wall of the tank 31 to enhance the friction between the bucket 5 and the tray.

[0044] In the embodiments of this application, three preferred anti-slip components are provided.

[0045] The first type, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5The anti-slip component is an anti-slip soft pad 32, which can be a wear-resistant rubber pad. By using the anti-slip soft pad 32 as an anti-slip component, the friction between the bucket 5 and the tray can be enhanced. At the same time, it can reduce the direct contact between hard objects, reduce the noise and wear caused by friction of the bucket 5, and the material of the soft pad can also play a certain cushioning role, protecting the bucket 5 and the tray from damage, thereby helping to extend the service life of the bucket 5 and the tray.

[0046] The second method, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The anti-slip component is an arc-shaped anti-slip strip 34. Multiple arc-shaped anti-slip strips 34 are provided. Multiple arc-shaped anti-slip strips 34 on the same circumference are equally distributed. Two arc-shaped anti-slip strips 34 that are close to each other on adjacent circumferences are arranged side by side to form a dense anti-slip network, which enhances the anti-slip effect. At the same time, under the action of the arc-shaped anti-slip strips 34, the lateral force generated by the water bucket 5 can be resisted more effectively, maintaining the stability of the water bucket 5.

[0047] The third type, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The anti-slip component has an internal thread 33, which is spirally arranged along the circumferential wall of the groove 31. The internal thread 33 can increase the roughness of the side wall of the groove 31, improve the anti-slip effect of the base 3, and its spiral shape can also play a certain guiding role when placing the water bucket 5, so that the water bucket 5 can be inserted into the groove 31 more smoothly. Compared with other anti-slip components, the anti-slip component with internal thread 33 is easier to produce and cheaper, which helps to save production costs.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The base 2 includes a connecting part 21 and a supporting part 22. The connecting part 21 and the supporting part 22 are arranged perpendicularly. The drive assembly 4 includes a connector 41. The connector 41 is installed on one side of the connecting part 21. The connector 41 includes a connecting rod 411 and a first hinge seat 412. The connecting rod 411 is fixed to the side of the connecting part 21. The first hinge seat 412 is assembled with the end of the connecting rod 411 by means of shaft connection. A slider 42 is fixed at the bottom of the first hinge seat 412. A slide rail 43 is fixed on the bottom wall of the placement box 11. The extension direction of the slide rail 43 is consistent with the width direction of the placement box 11, so that the slider 42 is slidably connected to the slide rail 43.

[0049] In this application, the number of sliders 42 and slide rails 43 is the same, forming a set of power mechanisms. There is at least one set of power mechanisms; two sets are shown in the accompanying drawings. A linkage plate is provided between the two sets of power mechanisms. The linkage plate is simultaneously assembled with both sliders 42 by screws. Two first hinge seats 412 are respectively installed at both ends of the top surface of the linkage plate, thereby enhancing the force and stability of pushing the water bucket 5, making the driving force more evenly distributed, and avoiding deviation or jamming caused by single-point force. Through the joint cooperation of the slide rails 43 and sliders 42, this application can reduce wear caused by friction, allowing the base 2 to slide smoothly along the slide rails 43, improving the smoothness of the water filling mechanism's movement, and thus extending the service life of the water dispenser.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A connecting rod 44 is movably connected between the connecting piece 41 and the bottom wall of the placement box 11. A second hinge seat 45 is provided on the bottom wall of the placement box 11 near the connecting rod 44. The connecting rod 44 and the second hinge seat 45, and the connecting rod 44 and the connecting rod 411 are connected by shafts, so that the connecting rod 44 can flexibly adjust its angle during water filling, thereby better transmitting driving force and adapting to the movement requirements of the mechanism, which helps to improve the transmission efficiency of the water filling mechanism.

[0051] In application, the user places the water bucket 5 horizontally, so that the bottom of the water bucket 5 is engaged with the matching groove 31, and the side of the water bucket 5 abuts against the support part 22. Then, the user pushes the slider 42, and with the cooperation of the connecting part 41 and the connecting rod 44, the base 2 slides along the bottom wall of the placement box 11 and flips over, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically installing the water bucket 5. This saves the user more effort and helps to improve the convenience of installing bottled water.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application. These embodiments are merely explanations of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
