Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water dispensers, and in particular to a rotating structure for the water dispenser's outlet head. Background Technology

[0002] A water dispenser is a device that heats or cools bottled purified water (or mineral water) for convenient drinking. A water dispenser generally consists of a main body and a water outlet. The water outlet usually protrudes from the main body, making it prone to dust accumulation. Furthermore, it requires relatively large packaging boxes, increasing packaging and transportation costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the existing technical defects, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotating structure for the water dispenser outlet to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:

[0005] According to one aspect of this utility model, a rotating structure for a water dispenser's outlet head is designed, comprising: a body and an outlet head. A sensor is provided on the body, and a trigger is provided on the outlet head. The outlet head and the body are rotatably connected via a rotating assembly. Rotating the outlet head allows its outlet end to switch between the inside and outside of the body's periphery. When the outlet end moves between the inside and outside of the body's periphery, the trigger enters the sensing range of the sensor.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the water outlet head and the machine body are designed with a rotating connection structure. Rotating the water outlet head moves its outlet end to the inner periphery of the machine body. When packaging the water dispenser is needed, rotating the water outlet head allows it to be stored within the inner periphery of the machine body, preventing it from protruding outwards. This allows for packaging in relatively small boxes, reducing packaging and transportation costs and making it easier to carry. When in use, the water outlet head is rotated to protrude outwards. Furthermore, by installing sensors on the machine body and triggers on the water outlet head, the interaction between the trigger and sensors enables switching between the water dispenser's off-state and standby modes. This eliminates the need to rotate the water outlet head and then control the mode via buttons, simplifying mode switching and improving usability.

[0007] To better address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, this utility model also offers a superior technical solution:

[0008] In some embodiments, the sensing element includes a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is located on the front side of the upper end of the body, and the second sensor is located on the rear side of the upper end of the body. Rotating the water outlet head can move the trigger element above the first sensor and above the second sensor. When the water outlet head is in the retracted state, the trigger element is located above the second sensor. When the water outlet head is manually rotated to the open state, the first sensor is triggered when the trigger element moves above the first sensor, and the water dispenser enters standby mode. When the water outlet head is in the open state and rotated to the retracted state, the first trigger element is not triggered when it moves above the first sensor. When the trigger element moves above the second sensor, the second sensor is triggered, and the water dispenser enters the off mode. By setting two sensors, the problem of preventing premature shutdown or startup caused by the water outlet head not being fully rotated to the correct position is solved.

[0009] In some embodiments, the sensing element is a Hall effect magnetic induction switch, and the trigger element is a magnetic block.

[0010] In some embodiments, the sensor is electrically connected to a control circuit board inside the body.

[0011] In some embodiments, the bottom of the water outlet head is provided with a rotating stroke groove, and the top of the machine body is provided with a limiting boss that cooperates with the rotating stroke groove. When the limiting boss is located at one end of the rotating stroke groove, the water outlet head is located inside the periphery of the machine body.

[0012] In some embodiments, when the limiting boss moves from one end of the rotating stroke groove to the other end, the swing angle α of the water outlet head is 90°≤α≤240°.

[0013] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft disposed at the bottom of the water outlet and an annular component disposed on the body, the rotating shaft being inserted into the annular component and rotatingly engaging with the annular component.

[0014] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft is a cylindrical structure with at least two notches distributed around its circumference, and a retainer is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft to restrict its separation from the annular component.

[0015] In some embodiments, the water outlet includes a base, a cover attached to the base, and a water outlet installed inside the base, the water outlet extending into a through hole on the base.

[0016] In some embodiments, the water outlet head is equipped with an illumination lamp bead that is electrically connected to the control circuit board. Attached Figure Description

[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a rotating structure for a water dispenser outlet, comprising: a body 1 and an outlet 2. The body 1 includes a housing, a top cover connected to the top of the housing, multiple control buttons mounted on the top cover, a water pump, a water heating device, and a control circuit board 5 disposed within the housing. The control buttons, the water pump, and the water heating device are electrically connected to the control circuit board 5.

[0030] The body 1 is equipped with a sensor, and the water outlet 2 is equipped with a trigger 4. The water outlet 2 and the body 1 are rotatably connected by a rotating assembly. Rotating the water outlet 2 allows its water outlet to switch between the inside and outside of the body 1. When the water outlet moves between the inside and outside of the body 1, the trigger 4 enters the sensing range of the sensor, realizing the control of the power-on mode and the power-off mode. The sensor is a Hall effect magnetic induction switch, and the trigger 4 is a magnetic block. The sensor is electrically connected to the control circuit board 5 inside the body 1. The control circuit board 5 controls the power-on mode and the power-off mode.

[0031] Furthermore, the sensing element includes a first sensing element 31 and a second sensing element 32. The first sensing element 31 is located on the front side of the upper end of the body 1, and the second sensing element 32 is located on the rear side of the upper end of the body 1. Furthermore, the first sensing element 31 and the second sensing element 32 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 5. Rotating the water outlet head 2 can drive the trigger element 4 to move above the first sensing element 31 and above the second sensing element 32.

[0032] The rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft 21 located at the bottom of the water outlet head 2 and an annular component 11 located on the body 1. The rotating shaft 21 is inserted into the annular component 11 and rotates in cooperation with the annular component 11. The rotating shaft 21 has a cylindrical structure and two, three, four or more notches are distributed around its circumference. In this embodiment, it is preferable that three notches are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotating shaft 21. The rotating shaft 21 is provided with a locking head 22 to restrict its separation from the annular component 11. The locking head 22 has one, two or three. In this embodiment, it is preferable that there are three locking heads 22, which are evenly distributed around the circumference.

[0033] The bottom of the water outlet head 2 is provided with a rotating stroke groove 23, and the top of the body 1 is provided with a limiting boss 12 that cooperates with the rotating stroke groove 23. When the water outlet head 2 is rotated so that the limiting boss 12 is located at one end of the rotating stroke groove 23, the water outlet head 2 is located inside the periphery of the body 1, and the limiting boss 12 limits the water outlet head 2. When the limiting boss 12 is inserted from one end of the rotating stroke groove 23 to the other end, the swing angle α of the water outlet head 2 is 90°≤α≤240°. Further, the swing angle α is 90° or 120° or 150° or 180° or 200° or 240°. In this embodiment, the preferred swing angle α of the water outlet head 2 is 180°.

[0034] The water outlet 2 includes a base 2a, a cover 2b connected to the base 2a, and a water outlet 2c installed inside the base 2a. The water inlet of the water outlet 2c is connected to the water pump inside the machine body 1 through a water pipe, and the water outlet of the water outlet 2c extends into the through hole on the base 2a. The water outlet 2 is equipped with an illumination bulb 6 that is electrically connected to the control circuit board 5.

[0035] When the water outlet 2 is located inside the periphery of the body 1, the water outlet 2 is in a retracted state. At this time, the trigger 4 is located above the second sensor 32, and the water dispenser enters the off mode. The mode of the body 1 is controlled by the control circuit board 5. When the water outlet 2 is manually rotated from the retracted state to the open state, when the trigger 4 moves above the first sensor 31, the first sensor 31 is triggered and feeds back information to the control circuit board 5. The control circuit board 5 controls the water dispenser to enter the standby mode. When the water outlet 2 is manually rotated from the open state to the retracted state, when the trigger 4 moves above the first sensor 31, the first trigger 4 is not triggered. When the trigger 4 moves above the second sensor 32, the second sensor 32 is triggered and feeds back information to the control circuit board 5. The control circuit board 5 controls the water dispenser to enter the off mode.

[0036] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
