[0020] Beneficial effects:

[0021] This utility model's water dispenser receiving box uses a float guide seat with a break and guide groove for float assembly. During assembly, the float is pressed into and fully abuts against the inner wall of the float guide seat, causing it to deform. This allows the float to continue being pressed in until the limiting slider slides into the guide groove, and the structure elastically resets, completing the installation. When the water receiving box is inverted or tilted during installation, use, or cleaning, the top of the limiting slider abuts against the guide groove to prevent them from separating, thus preventing the float from being lost. Both the float guide seat and the float are made of plastic. Its high toughness ensures the stability of the structure under pressure deformation, and the interference fit created by structural deformation when they separate further prevents the float from falling out. This water receiving box features convenient installation of the box body and lid, and convenient installation of the float and float guide seat. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a water dispenser water receiving box to prevent the float ball from being lost, comprising:

[0031] Box 1, with a receiving cavity 2 at its top;

[0032] A lid 3 covers the top of the accommodating cavity 2 and has a through hole 4.

[0033] The float guide seat 5 has several guide grooves 6 that are not fully penetrated at the top and cuts 7 of equal height arranged circumferentially on its side.

[0034] The float 8 has a warning protrusion 9 on its top, which is inserted into the through hole 4. The float 8 is slidably disposed in the inner cavity of the float guide seat 5. Several limiting sliders 10 are provided on its side. The limiting sliders 10 are slidably disposed in the guide groove 6, and their bottoms extend to below the bottom edge of the float 8.

[0035] The box body 1 is provided with a stepped top edge 11, and the box cover 3 is fitted to the inner side of the stepped top edge 11 to improve the assembly stability of the box body 1 and the box cover 3, and to prevent the box cover 3 from being pressed and tilted or detached from the box body 1 when the water dispenser is used or when a cup is placed on the box cover 3, resulting in the cup being unstable.

[0036] The side of the accommodating cavity 2 is provided with several supporting ribs 12. The top of the supporting ribs 12 abuts against the bottom of the box cover 3, which further improves the positioning stability of the box body 1 and the box cover 3, and improves the pressure resistance of the box cover 3.

[0037] The bottom outer side of the limiting slider 10 is provided with a wedge-shaped surface, so that when the float 8 is pressed into the inner cavity of the float guide seat 5, the wedge-shaped surface fully abuts against the float guide seat 5, deforming it, and thus allowing the float 8 to continue to be pressed in until the limiting slider 10 slides into the guide groove 6, the structure elastically resets, and the installation is completed. When the water receiving box is inverted or tilted during installation, use, or cleaning, the top of the limiting slider 10 abuts against the guide groove 6 to prevent the two from separating, achieving the effect of preventing the float from being lost. Both the float guide seat 5 and the float 8 are made of plastic. Its high toughness ensures the stability of the structure under pressure deformation, and the interference connection formed by structural deformation must be overcome when the two separate, further preventing the float 8 from falling out.

[0038] A guide bar 13 is also provided on the outside of the float 8. The guide bar 13 is slidably spliced ​​in the break 7, and its bottom extends to the bottom edge of the float 8 so that the float 8 can dock with the float guide seat 5 when it is installed. This also prevents water accumulation in the water box from causing the float to shift horizontally and causing structural collisions and noise, thus playing a role in limiting position and reducing noise.

[0039] A support block 14 is also provided on the outer side of the float 8. The support block 14 abuts against the inner wall of the float guide seat 5 to further limit the float 8 on the horizontal plane and avoid structural collision and noise.

[0040] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the water dispenser receiving box for preventing float ball loss in this embodiment has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0041] This utility model's water dispenser receiving box uses a float guide seat with a break and guide groove for float assembly. During assembly, the float is pressed into and fully abuts against the inner wall of the float guide seat, causing it to deform. This allows the float to continue being pressed in until the limiting slider slides into the guide groove, and the structure elastically resets, completing the installation. When the water receiving box is inverted or tilted during installation, use, or cleaning, the top of the limiting slider abuts against the guide groove to prevent them from separating, thus preventing the float from being lost. Both the float guide seat and the float are made of plastic. Its high toughness ensures the stability of the structure under pressure deformation, and the interference fit created by structural deformation when they separate further prevents the float from falling out. This water receiving box features convenient installation of the box body and lid, and convenient installation of the float and float guide seat.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
