[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0035] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a drinking water device, including an instant heating module 30 and a water outlet structure 40. The instant heating module 30 includes an instant heating inlet and an instant heating outlet. The instant heating inlet can be used to pass filtered purified water, and the instant heating outlet can be connected to the water outlet structure 40 to form a water outlet channel 120. The purified water is heated into hot water in the instant heating module 30, and the heated hot water can enter the water outlet structure 40 for the user to use.

[0037] In some embodiments, the heating module 30 can be a thick-film heating element, which can convert electrical energy into heat energy, has a large heating area, and can improve heating efficiency. Thick-film heating elements are existing structures in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] To provide users with cooled boiled water, the water supply equipment also includes a heat exchanger 20. The heat exchanger 20 includes a first flow channel 21 and a second flow channel 22 that cooperate in heat exchange. The first end of the first flow channel 21 is used to introduce purified water, and the end of the first flow channel 21 is connected to the instant heating module 30. The first end of the second flow channel 22 can be connected to the instant heating outlet, and the end of the second flow channel 22 is connected to the outlet flow channel 120. By setting up the heat exchanger 20, purified water first enters the first flow channel 21 in the heat exchanger 20. The purified water in the first flow channel 21 can absorb heat, and the warm water with increased temperature enters the instant heating module 30 for heating, which helps to improve heating efficiency. At least part of the hot water heated by the instant heating module 30 can enter the second flow channel 22, and its temperature is reduced by exchanging heat with the purified water in the first flow channel 21, thus forming cooled boiled water. The cooled boiled water enters the outlet flow channel 120 through the end of the second flow channel 22, and then enters the water outlet structure 40 through the outlet flow channel 120 for users to take.

[0039] In this drinking water equipment, the heat exchanger 20 exchanges heat between room temperature purified water and heated boiled water. On the one hand, it increases the temperature of the purified water entering the instant heating module 30, improves the heating efficiency of this part of the purified water, and avoids heat waste. On the other hand, it cools the heated boiled water through heat exchange to produce cooled boiled water, which speeds up the cooling of hot water and increases the output speed of cooled boiled water.

[0040] To ensure drinking water hygiene, the drinking water equipment also includes a return flow channel 130. The first end of the return flow channel 130 connects to the outlet flow channel 120, and the second end connects to the first flow channel 21. During sterilization of the drinking water equipment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the boiling water heated by the instant heating module 30 passes through the second flow channel 22, the outlet flow channel 120, the return flow channel 130 and the first flow channel 21 in sequence, and then flows back into the instant heating module 30. The boiling water sterilizes the components it passes through. This cycle ensures the hygiene of the drinking water equipment and improves drinking safety.

[0041] In this embodiment, sterilization is performed using boiling water, eliminating the need for an additional sterilization module, which simplifies the structure and reduces costs. The return flow channel 130 is connected to the beginning of the first flow channel 21 in the heat exchanger 20, allowing boiling water to flush the heat exchanger 20 and ensuring the hygiene of the flow channels within the heat exchanger 20, thereby guaranteeing drinking safety. In other embodiments, the connection position of the end of the return flow channel 130 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, it can be located between the first flow channel 21 and the instant heating module 30, which can also achieve boiling water circulation sterilization.

[0042] It should be noted that the inlet channel 110, outlet channel 120 and return channel 130 can be formed by pipes or other structures, as long as the above-mentioned interconnection state can be achieved, there are no restrictions here.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a three-way valve 61 is provided on the water outlet channel 120. The three-way valve 61 can selectively connect the water outlet channel 120 to the water outlet structure 40 or the return channel 130. When sterilization of the drinking water equipment is required, the three-way valve 61 connects the water outlet channel 120 to the return channel 130. At this time, the water outlet channel 120 is not connected to the water outlet structure 40, and the water in the water outlet channel 120 enters the return channel 130 to achieve circulating sterilization of boiling water. When the user needs to take water, the water outlet channel 120 is connected to the water outlet structure 40. At this time, the water outlet channel 120 is not connected to the return channel 130 to ensure that the water in the water outlet channel 120 flows to the water outlet structure 40.

[0044] Specifically, the three-way valve 61 includes a first valve port, a second valve port, and a third valve port. The first valve port is connected to the water outlet channel 120, the second valve port is connected to the return channel 130, and the third valve port is connected to the water outlet structure 40. The first valve port in the three-way valve 61 can switch between being connected to the second valve port and being connected to the third valve port.

[0045] Optionally, the three-way valve 61 can be a solenoid valve to facilitate automatic switching of the connection state.

[0046] In some embodiments, the three-way valve 61 can be replaced by two switching valves. For example, the first end of the return flow channel 130 is connected to the outlet flow channel 120, and a first switching valve is provided on the return flow channel 130 to control the opening and closing of the return flow channel 130; a second switching valve is provided on the outlet flow channel 120 downstream of the first end of the return flow channel 130 to control the opening and closing of the outlet flow channel 120 and the outlet structure 40.

[0047] To meet users' temperature requirements for water intake, a mixing regulating valve 62 is installed on the water outlet channel 120. The mixing regulating valve 62 includes a first valve inlet, a second valve inlet, and a valve outlet. The first valve inlet connects to the instant hot water outlet, the second valve inlet connects to the end of the second channel 22, and the valve outlet connects to the water outlet structure 40. The opening degrees of the first and second valve inlets are adjustable. By installing the mixing regulating valve 62, the flow rate of hot water flowing from the instant hot water outlet into the mixing regulating valve 62 can be adjusted, thereby regulating the flow rate of cooled boiled water entering the mixing regulating valve 62 from the second channel 22. By adjusting the ratio of the mixed hot water and cooled boiled water, the water temperature entering the water outlet structure 40 can be controlled, thus meeting users' needs for cooled boiled water at different temperatures.

[0048] Understandably, the opening degrees of the first and second valve inlets are inversely proportional; as the opening degree of the first valve inlet increases, the opening degree of the second valve inlet correspondingly decreases. When the opening degree of the first valve inlet increases, the proportion of hot water flowing directly into the first valve inlet from the instantaneous heating outlet increases, while the proportion of hot water diverted into the second flow channel 22 decreases. This reduces the flow rate of cooled boiled water passing through the second flow channel 22, thus reducing the flow rate of cooled boiled water entering the second valve inlet. At this time, due to the large proportion of hot water and the small proportion of cooled boiled water, the temperature of the mixed cooled boiled water is relatively high. Conversely, when the opening degree of the first valve inlet decreases, the proportion of hot water flowing directly into the first valve inlet from the instantaneous heating outlet decreases, while the proportion of hot water diverted into the second flow channel 22 increases. This increases the flow rate of cooled boiled water passing through the second flow channel 22, thus increasing the flow rate of cooled boiled water entering the second valve inlet. At this time, due to the small proportion of hot water and the large proportion of cooled boiled water, the temperature of the mixed cooled boiled water is relatively low.

[0049] It should be noted that the mixing control valve 62 is an existing structure in the art. The structure and control principle of the mixing control valve 62 can adopt any structure and principle in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0050] To meet the user's need for hot water, when the user needs hot water, the mixing regulating valve 62 adjusts the opening of the first valve inlet to the maximum, and correspondingly, the second valve inlet closes, so that all the hot water flowing out of the instant hot water outlet passes through the first valve inlet, flows through the water outlet channel 120 to the water outlet structure 40, and realizes the supply of hot water.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the mixing regulating valve 62 is located on the outlet channel 120 and downstream of the first end of the second channel 22, and upstream of the three-way valve 61. When the opening of the first valve inlet is increased, the flow rate of the hot water diverted from the outlet channel 120 to the first end of the second channel 22 decreases accordingly, and the flow rate in the second channel 22 decreases to correspond with the opening of the second valve inlet.

[0052] To accurately control the outlet water temperature, in some embodiments, a first temperature sensor 72 is installed downstream of the mixing regulating valve 62 on the outlet flow channel 120. The first temperature sensor 72 is communicatively connected to the mixing regulating valve 62. The first temperature sensor 72 can detect the temperature of the mixed water flowing out of the valve outlet. By comparing the detected water temperature with the target temperature set by the user, it can provide feedback to adjust the opening degree of the first valve inlet and the second valve inlet in the mixing regulating valve 62, thereby adjusting the mixing ratio of boiling water and cooled boiled water, and thus accurately controlling the outlet water temperature.

[0053] Optionally, the drinking water equipment includes a controller, and the mixing regulating valve 62 and the first temperature sensor 72 are electrically connected to the controller. The temperature information detected by the first temperature sensor 72 is transmitted to the controller, and the controller adjusts the opening degree of the mixing regulating valve 62 according to the received temperature information to accurately control the outlet water temperature.

[0054] Optionally, the controller can be a centralized or distributed controller. For example, the controller can be a single microcontroller or a combination of multiple distributed microcontrollers. The microcontroller can run a control program to control the opening of the mixing regulating valve 62 based on the detected temperature.

[0055] It is worth noting that the connection relationship, specific structure, and specific control method of the controller with other components are all conventional methods in the field. This utility model can adopt any of the connection relationship, specific structure, and specific control method of the controller with other components in the prior art. This utility model will not provide a detailed description of the connection relationship, specific structure, and specific control method of the controller with other components.

[0056] In some embodiments, the mixing control valve 62 and the three-way valve 61 can be replaced by a four-way control valve, which can also achieve the above functions.

[0057] To ensure that the hot water flowing from the instant heating outlet is boiling water, in some embodiments, a second temperature sensor 71 is installed between the end of the first flow channel 21 and the instant heating inlet. The second temperature sensor 71 is communicatively connected to the instant heating module 30. The second temperature sensor 71 can detect the temperature of the purified water flowing out of the first flow channel 21 and adjust the power of the instant heating module 30 based on the detected water temperature feedback to ensure that the water heated by the instant heating module 30 is boiling water. Through the temperature feedback regulation formed by the second temperature sensor 71 and the instant heating module 30, the heated water temperature can be guaranteed, and the power of the instant heating module 30 can be reasonably adjusted to avoid energy waste.

[0058] Optionally, both the instant heating module 30 and the second temperature sensor 71 are electrically connected to the controller. The temperature information detected by the second temperature sensor 71 is transmitted to the controller. The controller adjusts the power of the instant heating module 30 according to the received temperature information, such as adjusting the duty cycle of the instant heating module 30, to precisely control the water temperature after heating.

[0059] To enhance the water flow dynamics during boiling water sterilization, a water pump 50 is installed between the end of the return channel 130 and the beginning of the first channel 21. The water pump 50 can drive the water flow to ensure that the boiling water can circulate within the channel and repeatedly flush the channel to achieve sterilization and disinfection.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the drinking water device further includes a filtration mechanism 10 for filtering the incoming water. The outlet of the filtration mechanism 10 is connected to the beginning of the first flow channel 21 to form an inlet flow channel 110, and the end of the return flow channel 130 is connected to the inlet flow channel 110.

[0061] In some embodiments, the filtration mechanism 10 includes at least one filter element, which can achieve at least one stage of filtration to ensure the filtration effect on water and improve drinking water safety. The filtration mechanism 10 and the filter element are existing structures in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0062] To facilitate the control of water injection into the first flow channel 21, a pressure reducing valve 63 is also installed on the inlet flow channel 110, located upstream of the water pump 50. The pressure reducing valve 63, also known as a zero-pressure valve, opens when a low pressure is generated downstream. The lower the low pressure, the greater the flow rate. In other words, when the water pump 50 starts, it generates a negative pressure in the inlet flow channel 110, causing the pressure reducing valve 63 to open, allowing the filter mechanism 10 to supply water to the inlet flow channel 110. When the water pump 50 shuts off, the water in the inlet flow channel 110 stops flowing, the negative pressure is eliminated, and the pressure reducing valve 63 closes. By cooperating with the water pump 50, the pressure reducing valve 63 automatically opens and closes according to the start and stop of the water pump 50, eliminating the need for additional control of the pressure reducing valve 63, thus simplifying the control procedure and reducing costs.

[0063] To provide room temperature water, the outlet of the filter mechanism 10 is also connected to a room temperature water channel 140, which is connected to the water outlet structure 40 to provide room temperature water to users.

[0064] Optionally, a third switch valve 64 is provided on the ambient temperature water flow channel 140. The third switch valve 64 can control the opening and closing of the ambient temperature water flow channel 140, thereby controlling the ambient temperature water supply according to user needs.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the drinking water equipment also includes an overflow channel 160, and the end of the first channel 21 is connected to the overflow channel 160 and the instant heating module 30 respectively. By setting the overflow channel 160, when producing cooled boiled water, some of the purified water passing through the first channel 21 can be discharged through the overflow channel 160 as needed, and no longer flowed into the instant heating module 30. On the one hand, this can reduce the water flow rate entering the instant heating module 30, ensuring that the instant heating module 30 can heat the water passing through it into boiling water, and avoiding excessive water flow rate entering the instant heating module 30, which would result in the water temperature being too low after heating. On the other hand, in summer, the temperature of the purified water flowing into the first channel 21 is high. If the first channel 21 and the second channel 22 in the heat exchanger 20 maintain the same flow rate, the temperature of the cooled boiled water prepared through the second channel 22 will be too high, which will not meet the user's needs. To solve this problem, the flow rate entering the first channel 21 can be increased, and the excess water can be discharged through the overflow channel 160.

[0066] Optionally, the drinking water equipment also includes an overflow regulating valve 68, which is connected to the end of the first flow channel 21, the instant heating outlet of the instant heating module 30, and the overflow channel 160. The overflow regulating valve 68 can divert the water passing through the end of the first flow channel 21 and control the distribution ratio of water entering the overflow channel 160 and the instant heating module 30 to meet the demand.

[0067] It should be noted that the regulating principle of the overflow regulating valve 68 is the same as that of the mixing regulating valve 62, and will not be repeated here.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to drain the water used during the sterilization process and prevent users from drinking it, the drinking water equipment also includes a drain channel 150, which is connected to the outlet channel 120. After disinfection and sterilization are completed, the drain channel 150 is connected to the outlet channel 120, and the boiling water used to rinse the channel will enter the drain channel 150 through the outlet channel 120 and be discharged through the drain channel 150 to prevent users from drinking this portion of the boiling water.

[0069] To control the flow between the drainage channel 150 and the outlet channel 120, the drinking water equipment does not need to be equipped with a three-way valve 61. Instead, a four-way valve 65 can be used instead of the three-way valve 61. The four-way valve 65 is connected to the outlet channel 120, the return channel 130, the outlet structure 40, and the drainage channel 150 respectively. The four-way valve 65 can selectively connect the outlet channel 120 to the return channel 130, the outlet structure 40, or the drainage channel 150 to switch the corresponding functions.

[0070] In other embodiments, the first end of the drainage channel 150 can be directly connected to the outlet channel 120, and a fourth switch valve can be provided on the drainage channel 150 to achieve the above function.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the water pump 50 and pressure reducing valve 63 may not be installed on the water inlet channel 110. Instead, a fifth switching valve 66 and a flow regulating valve 67 are used instead. The fifth switching valve 66 and the flow regulating valve 67 are located upstream of the end of the return channel 130. The fifth switching valve 66 is used to control the opening and closing of the water inlet channel 110, and the flow regulating valve 67 is used to control the flow rate in the water inlet channel 110 so that the flow rate of the clean water entering the first channel 21 meets the usage requirements.

[0072] Optionally, a flow meter 80 is also provided on the inlet channel 110. The flow meter 80 is used to detect the flow rate in the inlet channel 110. The flow meter 80 is communicatively connected to the flow regulating valve 67 to adjust the opening of the flow regulating valve 67 according to the detected flow rate value, so as to accurately control the flow rate in the inlet channel 110.

[0073] Optionally, the flow meter 80 can be connected to the flow regulating valve 67 via a controller. The flow meter 80 sends the detected flow information to the controller, and the controller controls the opening of the flow regulating valve 67 according to the received flow information to accurately control the flow in the inlet channel 110.

[0074] It should be noted that the connection relationship and specific structure of the flow meter 80 with other components are conventional methods in the field. This utility model can adopt any connection relationship and specific structure of the flow meter 80 with other components in the prior art. This utility model will not provide a detailed description of the connection relationship and specific structure of the flow meter 80 with other components.

[0075] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
