Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water equipment technology, and in particular to a drinking water equipment with a built-in water tank. Background Technology
[0002] Water purifiers with built-in water tanks, such as water tanks, have the tank located inside the purifier.

Most of these substances are trapped inside the silicone tubing and cannot be released. In a long-term sealed environment, these odors gradually permeate the surface and interior of the silicone tubing. Since the silicone tubing connects to the water pipes, this results in an unpleasant odor in the water.

[0041] In some embodiments, a drinking water device is provided, such as a water purifier with a built-in water tank. The water purifier includes a water tank 100, a water pump 200, and a water circuit board 300, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 .
[0042] Water tank 100 is configured for water storage. Water tank 100 is provided with an inlet 110 and an outlet 120. The outlet 120 has a quick-connect rod structure, see reference. Figure 2 For example, the outlet 120 has a quick-connect rod structure of three-thirds or more to ensure water flow.
[0043] The water pump 200 is configured to provide power for water flow. The water pump 200 is, for example, an impeller pump. (See reference...) Figure 6 The water pump 200 includes an inlet pipe 210 and an outlet pipe 220. Both the inlet pipe 210 and the outlet pipe 220 have a quick-connect structure. For example, the inlet pipe 210 and the outlet pipe 220 may have a quick-connect structure with three or more segments to ensure water flow. The inlet pipe 210 is equipped with a first connector 230, and the outlet pipe 220 is equipped with a second connector 240, as shown in the figure. Figure 7 .
[0044] Reference Figure 3 The water circuit board 300 is provided with an outlet water interface 310, an inlet water interface 320, an outlet water connection port 330, and an inlet water connection port 340.
[0045] Among them, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outlet 120 connects to the outlet port 310, and the inlet 110 connects to the inlet port 320, thus establishing a water circuit connection between the water tank 100 and the water circuit board 300. The first connector 230 connects to the inlet port 340 via the first pipe 250, and the second connector 240 connects to the outlet port 330 via the second pipe, thus establishing a water circuit connection between the impeller pump and the water circuit board 300. The first pipe 250 and the second pipe are non-silicone tubing.
[0046] Reference Figure 4 The outlet 120 of the water tank 100 is designed as a quick-connect structure. The outlet 120 of the water tank 100 and the outlet interface 310 of the water circuit board 300 are connected by a quick-connect, eliminating the need for a silicone tube connection between the two and improving assembly efficiency. (Refer to...) Figure 5 The inlet 110 and outlet 120 of the water pump 200 are designed as quick-connect structures and connected to the water circuit board 300 via non-silicone tubing, eliminating the need for silicone tubing and improving assembly efficiency. This structural improvement also eliminates the silicone tubing, preventing unpleasant odors from the water purifier.
[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 The wall surrounding the outlet 120 includes a first extension 121 and a second extension 122. The outer diameter of the first extension 121 is larger than the outer diameter of the second extension 122. A first step 124 is formed between the first extension 121 and the second extension 122.
[0048] The water tank 100 is also provided with a groove 123, which surrounds the outer periphery of the first extension 121.
[0049] The wall surrounding the water outlet interface 310 includes a third extension 311, a fourth extension 312, and a fifth extension 313. The inner diameter of the third extension 311 is larger than the inner diameter of the fourth extension 312, and the inner diameter of the fourth extension 312 is larger than the inner diameter of the fifth extension 313. A second step 314 is formed between the third extension 311 and the fourth extension 312, and a third step 315 is formed between the fourth extension 312 and the fifth extension 313.
[0050] When the outlet 120 is connected to the outlet interface 310, the outlet 120 is inserted into the outlet interface 310, the third extension 311 is inserted into the groove 123, the first step 124 and the second step 314 abut against each other, and the second extension 122 is inserted into the fifth extension 313. A gap is formed between the second extension 122 and the fourth extension 312, and a sealing ring 140 is installed in the gap.
[0051] When connecting or disconnecting the outlet 120 and the outlet connector 310, no additional tools are required; it can be done manually. The two are directly connected, and the stepped outer and inner diameters allow for quick connection, providing installation space for the sealing ring and improving the reliability of the water seal after connection.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first pipe 250 and the second pipe are PE pipes. Figure 3 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the first pipe 250 and the second pipe are relatively short, making them easy to install. In addition, PE pipes are less likely to produce odors compared to silicone pipes.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first connector 230 and the second connector 240 are quick connectors to facilitate rapid connection of the quick-connect rod structures of the inlet pipe 210 and the outlet pipe 220, thereby simplifying installation and improving installation efficiency. For example, the first connector 230 and the second connector 240 are three-way quick connectors to facilitate the mating of the three-way quick-connect rod structures of the inlet pipe 210 and the outlet pipe 220.
[0054] In some embodiments, the inlet 110 is a quick-connect interface, the inlet port 320 is a quick-connect interface, and the inlet 110 and the inlet port 320 are connected by a third pipeline. For example, the inlet 110 is a two-way quick-connect interface, and the inlet port 320 is a two-way quick-connect interface.
[0055] In some embodiments, the third conduit is a PE pipe, which is less likely to produce odors compared to a silicone pipe.
[0056] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4A sealing ring 140 is provided at the connection between the water outlet 120 and the water outlet interface 310 to prevent water leakage.
[0057] In some embodiments, the water inlet 110 is located at the top of the water tank 100 to facilitate water intake.
[0058] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water outlet 120 is located on the side of the water tank 100, and the water circuit board 300 is located on the side of the water tank 100. By utilizing the side space of the water tank 100, the structural compactness is improved and the installation is facilitated.
[0059] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The water tank 100 has an inner recessed space 130 on its side, and the water circuit board 300 is set inside the inner recessed space 130 to further improve the structural compactness.
[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 A mounting bracket 260 is provided on the outer periphery of the water pump 200. The mounting bracket 260 surrounds the circumferential outer wall of the water pump 200 and is fixed to the water circuit board 300 by means of connectors (such as screws). The installation of the water pump 200 also makes full use of the recessed space 130 of the water tank 100, further improving the structural compactness.
[0061] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
[0062] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
