[0036] In order to improve the simplicity of the overall structure, the first waterway and the second waterway are both arranged in a detour on the waterway plate 2 and finally connected to the water outlet nozzle. One of them can also be arranged in a detour, the purpose of which is to simplify the structure of the overall waterway plate 2, make full use of the internal space of the waterway plate 2, improve the utilization rate of the overall waterway plate 2, and also ensure that the first waterway and the second waterway are separated. The first water outlet nozzle 24 and the second water outlet nozzle 25 are arranged on the waterway plate 2, and the first water outlet nozzle 24 and the second water outlet nozzle 25 are respectively connected to the end of the first waterway and the second waterway. The first water outlet nozzle 24 and the second water outlet nozzle 25 can directly flow out the water in the first waterway and the second waterway, and are used to supply drinking water. The first water outlet nozzle 24 and the second water outlet nozzle 25 can be arranged on one side of the waterway plate 2 respectively, or can be arranged on different sides of the waterway plate 2, so as to ensure that the first waterway and the second waterway can work independently. In this application, water needs to be discharged at the same position, and the cost needs to be low, so the first water outlet nozzle 24 and the second water outlet nozzle 25 are integrally formed and fixed on the waterway plate 2.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1-4 When the first waterway is provided with more than one water outlet nozzle, the first waterway is also provided with a third water outlet nozzle 28 after the pump assembly, which is used to guide the water flowing through the first waterway. When the first waterway is provided with multiple water outlet nozzles, the third water outlet nozzle 28 is arranged between the first water outlet nozzle 24 and the pump assembly, and can be directly used for water supply of other functions, such as connecting the third water outlet nozzle 28 to the water heating device 6, and the water heating device 6 can be used for heating pure water to meet the daily drinking water needs. In addition, the first waterway can also be provided with a fourth water outlet nozzle 29 after the pump assembly, which can meet different needs, such as participating in heating, cooling or normal temperature water.

[0038] In addition to the above scheme, the second waterway can also be provided with multiple water outlet nozzles, which are similar to the first waterway and will not be repeated here.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1-3 The pump assembly includes a pump body one 3 and a pump body two 4 which can be detachably installed on the waterway plate 2. The pump body one 3 and the pump body two 4 are respectively connected to the first waterway and the second waterway. The first waterway includes a first pump inlet 22 and a first pump outlet 27 which are connected to the pump body one 3. The pump body one 3 drives the water in the first waterway to flow, so that the water in the water inlet 21 flows to the first waterway and flows out from the first water outlet nozzle 24, the third water outlet nozzle 28 or the fourth water outlet nozzle 29. The pump body two 4 drives the water in the second waterway to flow, so that the water in the water inlet 21 flows to the second waterway and flows out from the second water outlet nozzle 25.

[0040] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in particular, the second waterway includes a transfer inlet 23 and a transfer outlet 26 provided on the waterway plate 2, the transfer inlet 23 and the transfer outlet 26 are communicated with each other, or the transfer inlet 23 and the transfer outlet 26 are communicated through a transfer device. Among them, when the pump body one 3 stops working, the pump body two 4 starts working, the pure water flows from the water inlet 21 to the second waterway, the pure water flows from the transfer inlet 23 to the transfer device, and then flows to the transfer outlet 26 through the transfer device, the pump body two 4 drives the pure water of the transfer outlet 26 to flow to the second water outlet nozzle 25, wherein the transfer device can adopt the refrigeration device 1, or can adopt a heating device, a filtering device, etc., and the application preferably adopts the refrigeration device 1, the refrigeration device 1 can adopt an electronic ice tank and an evaporator, if the transfer device selects the refrigeration device 1, the refrigeration device 1 cools the pure water, the cooled water flows out from the transfer outlet 26, and flows to the water outlet through the pump assembly, to ensure the normal supply of cold water.

[0041] When the transfer inlet 23 and the transfer outlet 26 are communicated with each other, a through hole can be arranged on the waterway plate 2 to be communicated with each other, and a sealing member 7 can be used for sealing to prevent water mixing, or a joint and a pipeline can be used to connect the transfer inlet 23 and the transfer outlet 26 to realize the communication between the two, which can improve the flexibility of waterway replacement and adaptation.

[0042] As shown in Figures 2-4 , to improve the simplification effect of the waterway plate 2, the pipeline of the transfer outlet 26 flowing to the water outlet nozzle is windingly arranged outside the water inlet 21, the transfer inlet 23 and the transfer outlet 26 are distributed along the thickness direction of the waterway plate 2, the transfer outlet 26 flows to the pump body two 4, the pump body two 4 drives the cold water in the refrigeration device 1 to circulate the second waterway outside the water inlet 21, and finally flows to the second water outlet nozzle 25, so that cold water can be provided from the water outlet nozzle under the condition that the structure of the whole waterway plate 2 is simplified, in the second waterway, the pump body two 4 is arranged between the transfer outlet 26 and the water outlet nozzle, which can greatly improve the flow of the cold water flowing out of the refrigeration device 1, the pump body one 3 and the pump body two 4 are arranged on different sides of the waterway plate 2, on the one hand, the first waterway and the second waterway are separated, on the other hand, the waterway plate 2 has enough installation positions on different sides to accommodate the pump body one 3 and the pump body two 4, so as to ensure the position dispersion between the pump body two 4 and the pump body one 3.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , it should be noted that the first waterway can be windingly arranged on the waterway plate 2, and the first pump body outlet 27 is provided with a groove in the direction of flowing to the water outlet nozzle near the transfer outlet 26, so that the groove on the waterway plate 2 separates the first waterway and the second waterway, avoiding that the water body of the second waterway absorbs heat from the first waterway, causing the temperature of the first waterway to decrease and affecting use.

[0044] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the waterway plate 2 is located at one end of the pump body one 3 and the pump body two 4, and a fixing part 5 is arranged on the waterway plate 2, which fixes the pump body one 3 and the pump body two 4 at the corresponding position of the waterway plate 2. The fixing part 5 is detachably installed on the waterway plate 2, wherein the fixing part 5 is annular, which is sleeved on the outer wall of the pump assembly and is installed on the waterway plate 2. The fixing part 5 is fixed on the end side of the waterway plate 2 in the form of a bolt or a pin, so as to ensure the stable installation of the pump assembly. The waterway plate 2 is also provided with an arc-shaped groove on the side close to the pump assembly, so as to fit the outer wall of the pump assembly and ensure the positioning of the pump assembly before installation. In addition to the annular shape, the fixing part 5 can also be in the form of a clamp or a belt, which can ensure that the pump assembly with an arc-shaped outer wall can be clamped or plugged on the waterway plate 2. It should be noted that rubber joints can be used on the water inlet 21, the first pump body inlet 22, the first pump body outlet 27 and the transfer inlet 23, so as to ensure the sealing performance of the pipe and reduce the risk of leakage of the first waterway and the second waterway.

[0045] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the connecting line between the first pump body inlet 22 and the first pump body outlet 27 is perpendicular to the plate surface of the waterway plate 2. In order to further simplify the overall structure and be compatible with the second waterway and the first waterway, the first waterway needs to flow from the first pump body inlet 22 to the first pump body outlet 27, so they need to be arranged on different thicknesses of the waterway plate 2. Since the second waterway surrounds the water inlet 21, the transfer outlet 26 and the water inlet and outlet of the pump body two 4 are all at the same horizontal position, so the water inlet and outlet of the pump body one 3 need to be arranged along the direction of the plate surface of the waterway plate 2, so that the pump body one 3 and the pump body two 4 can meet the requirements of the pipeline arrangement and also meet the simplified design of the waterway plate 2.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1 , the waterway plate 2 and the water outlet part are integrally formed, which can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost. The waterway plate 2 can be integrally formed with the first water outlet nozzle 24, the second water outlet nozzle 25, the third water outlet nozzle 28 and the fourth water outlet nozzle 29. In addition, it can also be installed by welding or screwing. It should be noted that the water outlet part can also use water pipes or water holes instead of nozzles. If water pipes or water holes are used, they can be integrally formed by a mold, and the water pipes and nozzles can also be welded or screwed.

[0047] As shown in Figure 5As shown, as the first pipeline connection method of this application, it also includes a water tank 8 for storing pure water. The water tank 8 provides pure water to the water inlet 21. When the first water circuit supplies water, the pure water flows from the water inlet 21 to the pump body 3 and then flows with the pump body 3 to the first water outlet 24 to achieve room temperature water supply. When the second water circuit supplies water, the pure water flows from the water inlet 21 to the cooling device 1. As the pump body 4 is turned on, the air in the cooling device 1 is extracted until the cold water in the cooling device 1 is extracted and the cold water flows along the second water circuit to the second water outlet 25 to achieve cold water supply.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, as the second pipeline connection method of this application, this solution is an improvement on the first pipeline connection method. Specifically, the first water outlet 24 of the first solution is sealed with a plug 7, and the third water outlet 28 is removed so that the third water outlet 28 is connected to the water heating device 6, thereby realizing the water heating requirement.

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, as the third pipeline connection method of this application, this scheme is a further improvement on the second pipeline connection method. Specifically, the refrigeration device 1 of the second scheme is removed, and the transfer inlet 23 and transfer outlet 26 connected to the refrigeration device 1 are blocked, so that the transfer inlet 23 and transfer outlet 26 are connected. The pure water of the transfer inlet 23 flows directly to the transfer outlet 26. Specifically, the transfer inlet 23 and transfer outlet 26 can be connected by a joint and a pipeline, or a connecting pipeline can be directly opened on the water circuit board 2. The pure water flowing out of the transfer outlet 26 flows directly to the pump body 2 4. Under the drive of the pump body 2 4, the water of the second water circuit flows to the second water outlet 25.

[0050] like Figure 8 As shown, as the fourth pipeline connection method of this application, this scheme is further improved on the basis of the third pipeline connection. Specifically, an auxiliary box 251, a drive pump 252 and an instant heating module 253 can be sequentially installed on the second water line of the pump body 24 facing the second water outlet 25. Pure water flows through the second water line to the auxiliary box 251 for temporary storage, and the drive pump 252 drives the pure water in the auxiliary box 251 to flow to the instant heating module 253. The instant heating module 253 heats the pure water and flows the heated water to the second water outlet 25, thereby realizing the supply of hot water.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
