DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, 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.
[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0031] Example 1: As Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a water outlet, including a water outlet cavity 100, wherein the water outlet cavity 100 is respectively connected to a water inlet pipe 200 and a water outlet pipe 300.
[0032] The water outlet cavity 100 includes a first chamber 110, a second chamber 120, a third chamber 130, and a steam discharge chamber 160 connected in sequence by an inlet pipe 200. Hot water flows into the first chamber 110 from the inlet pipe 200 and exits into the second chamber 120 from the inlet opening 140 at the bottom of the first chamber 110. At this time, part of the steam generated by the hot water is discharged from the steam discharge pipe 150, and the other part of the steam enters the steam discharge chamber 160 from the second chamber 120 along with the hot water. In the steam discharge chamber 160, condensation occurs to produce condensate, and the condensate moves downward to the outlet and is discharged.
[0033] Hot water enters the third chamber 130 through the bottom guide port 170 of the second chamber 120. A UV sterilization lamp 180 is installed at the top of the third chamber 130. The hot water sterilized by the UV sterilization lamp 180 is discharged from the outlet pipe 300. The distance between the outlet pipe 300 and the guide port 170 in the third chamber 130 forms a height difference. When the water flows upward based on the height difference, it is irradiated by the UV sterilization lamp 180 for sterilization.
[0034] The third chamber 130 is a circular chamber located at the center of the water outlet cavity 100. At least one guide port 170 is provided at equal intervals on the circumference of the third chamber 130 to introduce hot water. A water outlet pipe 300 is installed inside the third chamber 130.
[0035] The water inlet pipe 200 includes a normal temperature water inlet and a temperature-controlled water inlet. Based on the pre-set temperature-controlled water flowing into the first chamber 110 through the temperature-controlled water inlet, the water temperature entering the first chamber 110 is calculated by controlling the water flow rate and water flow velocity of the normal temperature water inlet and the temperature-controlled water inlet through the control valve.
[0036] The UV sterilization lamp 180 is fixed in the lamp trough 400, which is assembled and installed in the water outlet cavity 100 by a sealing assembly and sealed by a sealing cover 500. In practical applications, the UV sterilization lamp 180 used in water dispensers is waterproof and heat-resistant. However, it is a consumable in long-term use. To ensure the service life of the UV sterilization lamp 180 and improve the user experience, this embodiment is equipped with a protective assembly for the UV sterilization lamp 180. The UV sterilization lamp 180 is installed in the lamp trough 400. If the UV sterilization lamp 180 malfunctions later, it can be replaced directly by removing the sealing cover 500. The lamp trough 400 is subjected to the impact of hot water for a long time, and tests have shown that it suffers relatively large wear and tear. Therefore, the lamp trough 400 can be assembled and replaced at any time.
[0037] The light trough 400 can also be integrated with the water outlet cavity 100. Based on the internal components of the water outlet cavity 100, a fixed flow path is provided to guide hot water from the inlet pipe 200 to the outlet pipe 300. Reinforcing components such as reinforcing ribs are added during the installation of the light trough 400.
[0038] The light trough 400 is a transparent illumination area corresponding to the water outlet pipe 300, and an illumination gap is provided between the transparent illumination area and the water outlet pipe 300; this reduces the impact of hot water on the transparent illumination area and increases the service life of the light trough 400 to a certain extent.
[0039] Example 2: Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the parts not described in detail in this embodiment are as shown in Embodiment 1. This utility model provides a technical solution: a method for controlling a water outlet, including the following steps:
[0040] Step S1: Pre-enter the temperature control information of the water dispenser. The temperature control information includes the heating component serial number and the barcode of the heating level. The heating level barcode is associated with the product model and product control parameters corresponding to the current heating component. The associated temperature control information is stored in the storage module and displayed on the operation panel. Based on the operation panel, the water outlet temperature is set and matched with the corresponding temperature control information. Based on the temperature control information, the water inlet temperature of the inlet pipe 200 is regulated.
[0041] Step S2: input hot water from the water inlet pipe 200 into the water outlet cavity 100 through the control valve, and introduce the hot water into the water outlet pipe 300 based on the flow guide path in the water outlet cavity 100.
[0042] Embodiment 3: The embodiment is not detailed as shown in embodiment 1, and the utility model provides a water dispenser, which connects the water inlet pipe 200 with the temperature control assembly in the water dispenser.
[0043] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
