[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
[0061] The embodiments of the utility model pump mounting structure and water outlet device will be described below in combination with Figures 1-9
[0062] According to the embodiments of the utility model, a pump mounting structure is provided, which is applied to a water outlet device, the water outlet device comprising a water outlet column 1 and a pump body 2, the pump body 2 being mounted in the water outlet column 1 through the pump mounting structure, the pump mounting structure comprising: a damping piece 3 and a limiting structure, the damping piece 3 being wrapped outside at least part of the structure of the pump body 2, the limiting structure being arranged on the damping piece 3, and the limiting structure being used for limiting the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 in the water outlet column 1.
[0063] The pump mounting structure, through the damping piece 3 wrapped outside at least part of the structure of the pump body 2, makes the pump body 2 not directly contact the water outlet column 1, when the water outlet device is filled with water, the pump body 2 starts to work, the vibration of the pump body 2 can be absorbed or weakened by the damping piece 3, which can effectively reduce the vibration and noise of other parts when the pump body 2 works. Moreover, through the limiting structure, the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 in the water outlet column 1 can be limited, when the faucet 12 of the water outlet device rotates, the limiting structure can limit the moving range of the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5, so as to avoid the moving range of the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 being too large, thereby reducing the friction between the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 and the outer wall of the pump body 2, and the extrusion that the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 can be subjected to, so that the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 are not easy to wear, use safety is ensured, and the service life of the water outlet device is ensured.
[0064] The pump mounting structure of the embodiments is applied to a water outlet device, such as an electric kettle, etc., the water outlet device having the functions of automatic water filling, water boiling, heat preservation, tea brewing, etc. The water outlet device comprises a kettle body 11, a base 10, a water outlet column 1 and a pump body 2, etc., the kettle body 11 and the water outlet column 1 being arranged on the base 10, and the bottom of the base 10 being adapted to be placed on a platform such as a table top. The inside of the kettle body 11 has a water storage space, the pump body 2 is arranged in the water outlet column 1, and a faucet 12 is further arranged at the top of the water outlet column 1, through which the kettle body 11 can be filled with water. Moreover, the faucet 12 can be rotated to adjust the water outlet position of the faucet 12, which is convenient for users to use.
[0065] The pump mounting structure is used for mounting the pump body 2 in the water outlet column 1. In the embodiment, the pump body 2 is specifically a water pump, which can deliver water to the water faucet 12, and then add water to the kettle body 11. The water outlet column 1 is a columnar structure, and the bottom thereof is connected with the base 10. In the embodiment, the water outlet column 1 is a cylindrical structure, and the axial direction thereof is perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 10. The water outlet column 1 has a certain structural strength, and has an accommodation space inside, in which the structural components such as the pump body 2, the water pipe 4, and the electric wire 5 are arranged.
[0066] The pump mounting structure comprises a damping member 3 and a limiting structure. The damping member 3 is used for absorbing or weakening the vibration and noise generated by the pump body 2 during operation. The damping member 3 covers at least part of the outer structure of the pump body 2. For example, the damping member 3 can cover the entire outer structure of the pump body 2, or only part of the outer structure of the pump body 2. When the damping member 3 covers the entire outer structure of the pump body 2, the damping effect is optimal, but the cost is relatively high. When the damping member 3 only covers part of the outer structure of the pump body 2, the damping effect and the manufacturing cost can be balanced, so that the damping effect meets the product requirements, and part of the manufacturing cost can be saved.
[0067] The damping member 3 can be made of a material such as rubber, which has a certain elasticity. The damping member 3 has an installation space inside, and the shape and size of the installation space are matched with the outer shape and size of the pump body 2, so that the pump body 2 can be assembled into the installation space. Optionally, the inner wall of the installation space is attached to the outer wall of the pump body 2, so that the pump body 2 is more stable and the structural reliability is improved.
[0068] The water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5 are arranged in the water outlet column 1. One end of the water pipe 4 is connected with the pump body 2, and the other end thereof is connected with the water faucet 12, so as to realize water delivery. The water outlet column 1 is also provided with a motor and the like. The electric wire 5 is a power supply wire and a signal transmission line for electric control devices such as the motor and the pump body. The limiting structure is integrated on the damping member 3, so that the damping member 3 not only has a damping effect on the pump body 2, but also has a limiting effect on the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5, so that the internal structure of the water outlet column 1 is more optimized. According to different settings, the limiting structure can only limit the water pipe 4, or only limit the electric wire 5, or simultaneously limit the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5. In the embodiment, the limiting structure simultaneously limits the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5.
[0069] Further, the damping member 3 is arranged close to the leading-out position of the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5.
[0070] Since the moving range of the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 at the leading-out position is easy to be large, the damping member 3 is arranged close to the leading-out position of the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5, so that the limiting structure is close to the position where the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 has a large moving range, thereby more effectively limiting the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5, and improving the limiting effect.
[0071] As shown in FIG. 1, the water outlet column 1 is arranged on the base 10. The base 10 is provided with a water tank 13. The water tank 13 is connected with the water outlet column 1, and the water tank 13 is used for storing water.Figures 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the pump body 2 is located at the lower part of the water outlet column 1, and the water pipe 4 and the wire 5 are both led out from the bottom of the water outlet column 1. The shock absorber 3 covers the lower part of the pump body 2, which can absorb or reduce the vibration and noise generated by the pump body 2, and at the same time save some manufacturing costs. Moreover, the shock absorber 3 is close to the outlet position of the water pipe 4 and the wire 5, so as to facilitate the setting of a limiting structure to limit the water pipe 4 and the wire 5, improve the limiting effect, and facilitate the structural connection and layout.
[0072] Furthermore, the pump mounting structure also includes a first positioning mechanism, through which the shock absorber 3 is connected to the water outlet column 1, and the first positioning mechanism positions the shock absorber 3 in a first direction.
[0073] The first positioning mechanism is used to realize the installation connection between the shock absorber 3 and the water outlet column 1, and the first positioning mechanism can also position the shock absorber 3 in the first direction (including translation and rotation in the first direction) to realize the installation positioning of the shock absorber 3.
[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, the direction of arrow a-a' is the first direction, that is, the horizontal direction. The first positioning mechanism can not only connect the shock absorber 3 to the water outlet column 1, but also position the shock absorber 3 in the first direction, so that the shock absorber 3 will not shift or move in the first direction, thereby improving the reliability of the structure.
[0075] In this embodiment, the first positioning mechanism includes a positioning hole 601 and a positioning post 602 that fit together. One of the positioning hole 601 and the positioning post 602 is disposed in the shock absorber 3, and the other is disposed in the water outlet column 1. This positioning mechanism has a simple structure and is easy to set up. Moreover, the fact that one of the positioning hole 601 and the positioning post 602 is disposed in the shock absorber 3 and the other in the water outlet column 1 provides high flexibility in structural design.
[0076] Specifically, the positioning hole 601 is provided on the shock absorber 3, and the positioning post 602 is provided on the water outlet column 1. Optionally, the positioning hole 601 is integrally formed on the shock absorber 3, and the positioning post 602 is integrally formed on the water outlet column 1 to simplify the processing steps. Figures 5-6As shown, four positioning posts 602 are installed at a lower position inside the water outlet column 1. The positioning posts 602 are entirely located inside the water outlet column 1 to avoid positional interference with structures such as the base 10. The four positioning posts 602 are positioned close to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1 and spaced circumferentially, ensuring that the positioning posts 602 do not occupy excessive internal space of the water outlet column 1. The positioning posts 602 are cylindrical structures, facilitating manufacturing. A positioning hole 601 is provided near the outer edge of the shock absorber 3. The positioning hole 601 is positioned to match the positioning post 602, allowing the positioning post 602 to be inserted into the positioning hole 601, thus connecting the shock absorber 3 to the water outlet column 1. Simultaneously, when the positioning post 602 is inserted into the positioning hole 601, the shock absorber 3 and the water outlet column 1 cannot move relative to each other in the first direction, thereby limiting the shock absorber 3 in the first direction.
[0077] Furthermore, the pump mounting structure also includes a reinforcing mechanism to enhance the structural strength of the positioning column 602. This reinforcing mechanism strengthens the positioning column 602, making it less prone to damage, resulting in a more stable and secure installation of the shock absorber 3, and improving the reliability of the structure.
[0078] In this embodiment, the positioning post 602 protrudes from the inner wall of the water outlet column 1, and the axial direction of the positioning post 602 is parallel to the axial direction of the water outlet column 1. In order to enhance the structural strength of the positioning post 602, a reinforcing mechanism is provided for the positioning post 602, thereby ensuring the stability of the shock absorber 3.
[0079] Furthermore, the reinforcing mechanism includes a stiffening plate 7, one end of which is connected to the outer wall of the positioning column 602, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1.
[0080] like Figures 5-6 As shown, specifically, the reinforcing mechanism includes a stiffener 7, which is a plate-like structure. In the first direction, i.e., in the horizontal direction, one end of the stiffener 7 is connected to the outer wall of the positioning column 602, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1, so as to strengthen the structural strength of the positioning column 602 by means of the inner wall of the water outlet column 1.
[0081] In addition, a support plate 101 is provided on the inner wall of the water outlet column 1. The support plate 101 is arranged circumferentially around the inner wall of the water outlet column 1, and its width is relatively narrow to avoid affecting other structural components within the water outlet column 1. The end of the positioning column 602 away from the damping member 3 is connected to the support plate 101 to improve the structural strength of the positioning column 602. Optionally, the end of the stiffening plate 7 away from the damping member 3 is also connected to the support plate 101 to further enhance the structural strength of the positioning column 602.
[0082] Furthermore, the positioning column 602 is connected to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1 through at least two stiffening plates 7.
[0083] The number of the reinforcing ribs 7 arranged in the reinforcing mechanism can be two, three, four, etc. As long as the space is sufficient, the number of the reinforcing ribs 7 can be increased to better reinforce the positioning column 602 and to make the positioning column 602 have higher structural strength.
[0084] In this embodiment, one reinforcing rib 7 is arranged on each side of the positioning column 602, that is, the positioning column 602 is connected to the inner wall of the water outlet column 1 through two reinforcing ribs 7 to reinforce the two sides of the positioning column 602 and to improve the reinforcing effect of the positioning column 602.
[0085] As shown in Figure 6 , the two reinforcing ribs 7 are arranged at an included angle, which can be an acute angle, a right angle or an obtuse angle. The two reinforcing ribs 7 cooperate with the inner wall of the water outlet column 1 to form a relatively stable reinforcing structure.
[0086] Further, the two reinforcing ribs 7 are symmetrically arranged relative to the cross section of the positioning column 602 along the length direction.
[0087] In this embodiment, the two reinforcing ribs 7 are symmetrically arranged relative to the cross section of the positioning column 602 along the length direction (axial direction), which can more evenly support the positioning column 602 and make the structural strength of the positioning column 602 more balanced and stable.
[0088] According to different arrangement spaces, the reinforcing rib 7 can have a certain thickness, and the reinforcing rib 7 can be integrally formed with the positioning column 602, as long as the reinforcing rib 7 can support the positioning column 602 and ensure the structural strength of the positioning column 602.
[0089] Further, the pump mounting structure further comprises a second positioning mechanism, which positions the damping member 3 in a second direction, and the second direction is arranged at an angle to the first direction.
[0090] In order to further position the damping member 3 and prevent the damping member 3 from shifting or moving, the pump mounting structure further comprises a second positioning mechanism, which can position the damping member 3 in a second direction. The second direction is arranged at an angle to the first direction, that is, the first direction and the second direction are not parallel, and the included angle between the second direction and the first direction is any angle not equal to 0° and 180°, such as 60°, 90°, 150°, etc.
[0091] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the arrow b-b' is the second direction, that is, the vertical direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. By arranging the first positioning mechanism and the second positioning mechanism, the damping member 3 can be positioned in the first direction and the second direction, so that the position of the damping member 3 is more stable and the reliability of the structure is improved.
[0092] Furthermore, the second positioning mechanism includes a positioning end 701 and a positioning frame 8. The positioning end 701 is one end of the stiffener 7 in the second direction, the positioning frame 8 is fixed relative to the water outlet column 1, and at least a portion of the structure of the shock absorber 3 is sandwiched between the positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8.
[0093] The second positioning mechanism includes a positioning end 701 and a positioning frame 8, and the positioning end 701 is part of the stiffening plate 7, which realizes full utilization of the structure. The positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8 together clamp at least part of the structure of the shock absorber 3, thereby limiting the shock absorber 3 in the second direction. This second positioning mechanism has a simple structure, is easy to set up and install, and helps to reduce product costs.
[0094] In this embodiment, the positioning end 701 is one end of the stiffening plate 7 in the second direction, that is, the end of the stiffening plate 7 close to the shock absorber 3. The positioning frame 8 is fixed relative to the water outlet column 1 so as to realize that the positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8 jointly clamp at least part of the structure of the shock absorber 3.
[0095] Furthermore, a flange 301 is provided at the lower part of the shock absorber 3, and the flange 301 is clamped between the positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8.
[0096] like Figures 7-9 As shown, the damper 3 has a cylindrical structure and includes a body 302 and a flange 301. Figure 7 Taking a specific perspective, the main body 302 is located on the upper part of the shock absorber 3, and the flange 301 is located on the lower part of the shock absorber 3. The external dimensions of the flange 301 are larger than the external dimensions of the main body 302 to facilitate the connection between the shock absorber 3 and the water column 1. The main body 302 has an internal installation space, and the lower part of the pump body 2 is located within this installation space, while the upper part of the pump body 2 is positioned above the shock absorber 3.
[0097] by Figure 4 Taking a perspective example, the stiffening plate 7 is set above the flange 301, and the positioning frame 8 is set below the flange 301. The positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8 together clamp the flange 301 to reliably position the shock absorber 3 in the second direction.
[0098] Optionally, an assembly hole is formed inside the positioning post 602. The assembly hole may have an internal thread. After the positioning hole 601 and the positioning post 602 are inserted and engaged, fasteners (such as bolts, washers, etc.) can be tightened into the assembly hole to improve the connection strength. At the same time, the engagement of the fasteners with the assembly hole can also position the shock absorber 3 in the second direction.
[0099] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a first through hole 901 and / or a second through hole 902, the first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902 are provided on the flange 301, the water pipe 4 is adapted to pass through the first through hole 901, and the wire 5 is adapted to pass through the second through hole 902.

[0101] According to different setting needs, the limiting structure can only comprise the first through hole 901, or only comprise the second through hole 902, or simultaneously comprise the first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902.
[0102] In the embodiment, the first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902 are formed on the flange 301, the water pipe 4 is adapted to pass through the first through hole 901 to realize the leading-out of the water pipe 4, and the electric wire 5 is adapted to pass through the second through hole 902 to realize the leading-out of the electric wire 5. The specific size of the first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902 is not limited, and optionally, the area size of the first through hole 901 and the second through hole 902 should provide a certain moving space for the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5, so as to avoid that the water pipe 4 and the electric wire 5 are stuck and abraded when the faucet 12 is rotated.
[0103] As shown in Figure 1 The embodiment further provides a water outlet device, which comprises the water outlet column 1, the pump body 2 and the base 10, the water outlet column 1 is arranged on the base 10, and the pump body 2 is installed in the water outlet column 1 through the pump installation structure.

Moreover, through the arrangement of the limiting structure, the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 in the water outlet column 1 can be limited, the moving amplitude of the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 is avoided to be too large, so as to reduce the friction between the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 and the outer wall of the pump body 2, the water pipe 4 and / or the electric wire 5 are not easy to be abraded, the use safety is ensured, and the service life of the water outlet device is ensured.
[0105] In this embodiment, the water dispensing device is specifically an electric kettle. The device also includes a kettle body 11, which is mounted on a base 10. The top of the kettle body 11 has an opening, which is detachably covered by a lid. A water column 1 is positioned near the edge of the base 10. A pump body 2 is located inside the water column 1. A faucet 12 is located at the top of the water column 1, and the faucet 12 can rotate to align the water outlet with the opening at the top of the kettle body 11, thus completing the water filling process. A control circuit board is also located inside the base 10. The control circuit board controls the operation of the pump body 2 and the motor, and the wire 5 is electrically connected to the control circuit board. Of course, this water dispensing device also includes other structures and components common to existing water dispensing devices, which will not be elaborated here.
[0106] Furthermore, the positioning frame 8 of the second positioning mechanism in the pump mounting structure is fixed to the base 10.
[0107] like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning frame 8 is also called the panel support. A part of the structure of the positioning frame 8 is placed inside the base 10, and another part extends into the water outlet column 1. The water outlet column 1 is set on the base 10. The positioning frame 8 is fixed to the base 10, so that the positioning frame 8 is fixed relative to the water outlet column 1. The positioning frame 8 can cooperate with the positioning end 701 to reliably position the shock absorber 3 in the second direction.
[0108] The installation process of the pump body 2 of the water outlet device in this embodiment will be described below:
[0109] First, cover the outside of the lower structure of the pump body 2 with the shock absorber 3, align the positioning hole 601 on the shock absorber 3 with the positioning pin 602 in the water outlet column 1 until the shock absorber 3 abuts against the positioning end 701, assemble the water outlet column 1 onto the base 10, so that the side of the shock absorber 3 away from the positioning end 701 abuts against the positioning frame 8, so that the flange 301 of the shock absorber 3 is clamped between the positioning end 701 and the positioning frame 8, thus completing the installation of the pump body 2.
