Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The bottom-mounted water dispenser includes a base with a latch in the middle. Since the specifications of the water buckets provided by different bottled water suppliers are not consistent, when there is a large gap between the water bucket and the latch, the water bucket is prone to tipping over, and the connection between the water bucket and the latch is not good.

[0003] In existing technology, users typically only select one type of bottled water to assemble with the bottom-mounted water dispenser. If they want to change to a different type of bottled water, they can only replace the base to achieve a tight connection with the water bottle. However, in practical applications, 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. But 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 types of bottled water. Therefore, current bottom-mounted water dispensers cannot meet the usage needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to make the base compatible with various types of bottled water, this application provides a water dispenser tray adjustment mechanism.

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

[0006] A water dispenser tray adjustment mechanism includes a base, which is mounted on the body of the water dispenser. The inner side of the base is provided with a plurality of freely retractable elastic members, which are equidistantly distributed along the same circumference of the base. When the bottom end of the water bucket is inserted into the base, the plurality of elastic members simultaneously press against the bottom end of the water bucket.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic components are evenly distributed along the same circumference of the base, which can uniformly press against the bottom of the bucket, thereby providing stable support for the bucket. This allows the tray to be compatible with buckets of different sizes, improving the practicality of the base. At the same time, it reduces the shaking and falling of the bucket during placement, enhancing the safety and convenience of use.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, this application uses elastic elements to reinforce the water bucket, which can achieve stable installation between the water bucket and the base, eliminating the need to replace the base. It is easy to operate, low in cost, and highly efficient, meeting the application requirements.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic component includes an arc-shaped baffle and a connector. One end of the connector is assembled with the inner wall of the base, and the other end is assembled with the arc-shaped baffle. The arc-shaped baffle is used to limit the movement of the water bucket.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic component can provide both support and restraint for the water bucket, effectively enhancing the stability of the water bucket on the tray. At the same time, the flexible assembly method of the connector facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the elastic component, improving the service life and maintainability of the overall mechanism. Furthermore, under the action of the elastic component, a soft connection is formed between the water bucket and the base, which plays a role in shock absorption and noise reduction, and can extend the service life of the water bucket and tray to a certain extent, improving the user experience.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting member is a spring, a rubber component, or a telescopic rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the connectors are made of elastic materials such as springs, rubber parts or telescopic rods. These materials have good elasticity and resilience, which can ensure that the elastic parts maintain a stable pressure resistance during long-term use.

[0013] Preferably, the side of the arc-shaped baffle away from the connector is provided with an anti-slip surface.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, an anti-slip surface is provided on the side of the arc-shaped baffle away from the connector, which can increase the friction between the arc-shaped baffle and the bottom of the water bucket, reduce the sliding phenomenon caused by the smooth surface of the water bucket, reduce the noise and wear caused by friction, and help improve the stability of the water bucket on the tray.

[0015] Preferably, it includes a drive component, which is mounted on the body and its output end is assembled with the base to drive the base to slide horizontally.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, adding a drive component, and assembling its output end with the base, the base can slide horizontally, which can bring greater flexibility and convenience to the water dispenser tray adjustment mechanism. Users can easily adjust the position of the tray according to actual needs to adapt to different usage scenarios. At the same time, it is also convenient to clean and maintain the water dispenser, thus improving the overall service life of the equipment.

[0017] Preferably, the extension plate includes a connecting portion and a supporting portion. The connecting portion and the supporting portion are arranged perpendicularly. The base is fixed to the top surface of the connecting portion. When the bottom end of the bucket is inserted into the base, the supporting portion simultaneously abuts against the outer wall of the bucket.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical arrangement of the connecting part and the support part provides a more stable support structure for the water dispenser tray adjustment mechanism. When in use, the bottom end of the water bucket is inserted into the base, and the support part abuts against the outer wall of the water bucket, which further enhances the stability of the water bucket on the tray, reduces the shaking and falling of the water bucket, and improves the safety of the water bucket during use.

[0019] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a connector mounted on one side of the connecting part, a slider movably connected to the end of the connector, a slide rail fixed to the top surface of the body, and a connecting rod with one end movably connected to the body and the other end movably connected to the connector, wherein the extension direction of the slide rail is consistent with the width direction of the body, and the slider slides in contact with the slide rail.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive component includes components such as connectors, sliders, slide rails and connecting rods. By ensuring that the extension direction of the slide rail is consistent with the width direction of the machine body, the slider can slide smoothly on the slide rail, thereby driving the base to make precise horizontal adjustments, realizing precise control and stable operation of the base sliding function.

[0021] Preferably, the connector includes a connecting rod and a first hinge seat. The connecting rod is fixed to the side of the connecting part, and the first hinge seat is assembled to the end of the connecting rod by means of a shaft connection. The slider is fixed to the bottom of the first hinge seat.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting component consists of a connecting rod and a first hinge seat. This design allows the connecting rod to be flexibly connected to the connecting part, and the connecting rod and the slider are assembled through the first hinge seat. The flexible rotation between the connecting rod and the first hinge seat can better adapt to the angle changes during the water filling process, making the water bucket more flexible, stable and adaptable, thereby achieving a balanced state.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The elastic elements are evenly distributed along the same circumference of the base, which can evenly press the bottom of the water bucket. The elastic elements can provide support and limit the water bucket, effectively enhancing the stability of the water bucket on the tray, making the tray compatible with water buckets of different sizes, improving the practicality of the base, reducing the shaking and falling of the water bucket during placement, and enhancing the safety of the water bucket during use.

[0025] 2. The flexible assembly method of the connectors facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the elastic components, improving the service life and maintainability of the overall mechanism. Under the action of the elastic components, a soft connection is formed between the water bucket and the base, which plays a role in shock absorption and noise reduction. To a certain extent, it can extend the service life of the water bucket and tray and improve the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses a water dispenser tray adjustment mechanism.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A water dispenser tray adjustment mechanism includes a body 1, a drive assembly 4, an extension plate 2, and a base 3. The body 1 includes a placement box 11 disposed at its bottom. The drive assembly 4 is disposed inside the placement box 11 of the body 1. The extension plate 2 is mounted on the top of the drive assembly 4. The output end of the drive assembly 4 is assembled with the extension plate 2 to drive the extension plate 2 to slide horizontally.

[0034] In this application, reference is made to Figure 4 The extension plate 2 includes a connecting part 21 and a supporting part 22. The connecting part 21 and the supporting part 22 are arranged perpendicularly. The base 3 is fixed on the top surface of the connecting part 21. When the bottom end of the water bucket 5 is inserted into the base 3, the supporting part 22 simultaneously abuts against the outer wall of the water bucket 5.

[0035] The drive assembly 4 includes a connector 41 mounted on one side of the connecting part 21, a slider 42 movably connected to the end of the connector 41, a slide rail 43 fixed to the bottom wall of the placement box 11, and a connecting rod 44 with one end movably connected to the body 1 and the other end movably connected to the connector 41. 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 to the end of the connecting rod 411 by means of a shaft connection. The slider 42 is fixed to the bottom of the first hinge seat 412. The extension direction of the slide rail 43 is consistent with the width direction of the body 1. The slider 42 slides with the slide rail 43.

[0036] More specifically, 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 the water filling process, 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.

[0037] 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 extension plate 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.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 3 is set on the body 1 of the water dispenser. The inner side of the base 3 is provided with multiple freely retractable elastic members 31. The multiple elastic members 31 are equidistantly distributed along the same circumference of the base 3. When the bottom of the water bucket 5 is inserted into the base 3, the multiple elastic members 31 simultaneously press against the bottom of the water bucket 5, which can provide stable support for the water bucket 5, making the tray compatible with water buckets of different sizes, improving the practicality of the base 3. At the same time, it reduces the shaking and falling of the water bucket 5 during placement, enhancing the safety and convenience of use.

[0039] In this application, the elastic component 31 includes an arc-shaped baffle 311 and a connector 312. One end of the connector 312 is assembled with the inner wall of the base 3, and the other end is assembled with the arc-shaped baffle 311. The connector 312 is a spring, a rubber component, or a telescopic rod. The side of the arc-shaped baffle 311 facing away from the connector 312 is provided with an anti-slip surface. The arc-shaped baffle 311 is used to limit the water bucket 5.

[0040] The elastic component 31 provides both support and restraint for the bucket 5, effectively enhancing the stability of the bucket 5 on the tray. At the same time, the flexible assembly method of the connector 312 facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the elastic component 31, improving the service life and maintainability of the overall mechanism. Furthermore, under the action of the elastic component 31, a soft connection is formed between the bucket 5 and the base 3, which plays a role in shock absorption and noise reduction, thus extending the service life of the bucket 5 and the tray.

[0041] The connector 312 is made of elastic materials such as springs, rubber parts or telescopic rods. These materials have good elasticity and resilience, which can ensure that the elastic part 31 maintains a stable pressure resistance during long-term use.

[0042] In practical application, the user places the water bucket 5 horizontally, so that the bottom of the water bucket 5 is inserted into the base 3. Multiple elastic parts 31 simultaneously press against the bottom of the water bucket 5. At the same time, the side of the water bucket 5 abuts against the support part 22. Then, the slider 42 is pushed forcefully. With the cooperation of the connecting part 41 and the connecting rod 44, the extension plate 2 slides along the bottom wall of the placement box 11 and achieves the flipping function, 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.

[0043] 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.
