Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to an embedded beverage machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times, people have increasingly higher requirements for drinking water quality, and water purifiers have been recognized and purchased by most people. Water purifiers on the market can include countertop water purifiers, under-sink water purifiers, and built-in water purifiers, which can purify tap water or water in a water tank to provide users with high-quality clean water.

[0003] Built-in beverage machines can be installed in storage spaces such as sideboards and dish racks. They are popular because they do not take up tabletop space. The functions of some built-in beverage machines on the market are also becoming increasingly diverse, such as providing hot water, cold water, and even ice.

[0004] Existing built-in beverage machines that make ice typically require manually placing a container below the ice outlet to collect the ice. This forces users to position the container before dispensing the ice. Users also need to choose a properly sized container to ensure the ice falls accurately into it, making the operation cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0005] To at least partially address the problems existing in the prior art, some embodiments of this utility model provide an embedded beverage machine, including a housing assembly with an inner cavity; an ice-making assembly disposed within the inner cavity; and an ice-receiving box. The front wall of the housing assembly has an installation opening, and the ice-receiving box is movably disposed within the installation opening. The ice-receiving box includes an ice-receiving station and an ice-dispensing station, wherein: in the ice-receiving station, the ice-receiving box is inserted into the inner cavity and connected to the ice-dispensing port of the ice-making assembly; and in the ice-dispensing station, the ice-receiving box extends out of the front wall, and at least a portion of the ice-dispensing port of the ice-receiving box is exposed outside the front wall, with the exposed portion of the ice-dispensing port larger than the size of the ice cube. Therefore, the ice cubes produced by the ice-making assembly can be temporarily stored in the ice-receiving box, which can cover the installation opening, thereby making the interior of the ice-making assembly more hygienic and improving ice-making efficiency. The ice catcher can collect falling ice cubes, and users can take the ice cubes out of the ice catcher without needing to prepare a separate container for collecting ice cubes, making the operation more convenient.

[0006] For example, the ice outlet is located at the bottom of the ice-receiving box, wherein: when the ice-receiving box is in the ice-receiving position, the ice outlet is located inside the inner cavity; and when the ice-receiving box is in the ice-retrieving position, at least a portion of the ice outlet is located on the outer side of the front wall. Therefore, when the ice-receiving box is in the ice-receiving position, the ice produced by the ice-making component will not fall outside the ice-receiving box due to the sealing effect of the inner cavity. When the ice-receiving box moves from the ice-receiving position to the ice-retrieving position, the ice can detach from the ice-receiving box through the ice outlet. Users can place an ice-receiving container, such as a paper cup, glass, or bowl, below the ice-receiving box to catch the falling ice.

[0007] For example, the bottom of the ice receiving box is connected to a rotatable base plate, wherein: when the ice receiving box is in the ice receiving position, the base plate closes the ice outlet; and when the ice receiving box is in the ice dispensing position, the base plate opens the ice outlet under the action of gravity. Compared to embodiments where the ice receiving box has an open ice outlet, the user can clean the base plate, thereby preventing the ice from coming into contact with the hard-to-clean support surface below the ice outlet and becoming contaminated.

[0008] For example, a partition is provided within the housing assembly to divide the inner cavity into a mounting cavity. The ice-receiving box is positioned in the ice-receiving position, inserted into the mounting cavity, and its base plate is kept closed by the bottom wall of the mounting cavity. This separates the ice-receiving box from other components within the rear housing, preventing heat transfer to the ice and causing it to melt. The bottom wall of the mounting cavity keeping the base plate in a closed state simplifies the structure of the ice-receiving box and reduces its cost.

[0009] For example, a base plate is detachably installed at the bottom of the ice container, and the ice outlet is closed when the base plate is in place. In summary, the ice dispensing mode can be switched via a detachable base plate, and the structure is simple and low-cost.

[0010] For example, the ice catcher is detachably installed at the mounting port. The detachable ice catcher allows the user to remove the ice catcher along with the ice, enabling the ice to be poured out for use. If the ice is forgotten or used multiple times, any remaining melted cold water in the ice catcher can be poured out. Additionally, the user can clean the ice catcher periodically.

[0011] For example, the ice receiving container has a front baffle that completely covers the mounting opening when the ice receiving container is in the ice receiving position. Thus, the front baffle conceals the gap between the mounting opening and the ice receiving container, making the mounting opening invisible from the front of the built-in beverage machine, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing design. When the user is not removing ice, the front baffle also prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the gap.

[0012] For example, the ice receiving box includes a box body and an insulation wall. The insulation wall is connected to the front side of the box body, and an insulation cavity is formed between the insulation wall and the inner wall of the ice receiving box. The insulation wall protrudes from the installation opening when the ice receiving box is in the ice receiving position. The insulation cavity can slow down the melting of ice in the ice receiving box, and the outer surface of the ice receiving box is less prone to frost formation, resulting in a better user experience.

[0013] For example, the housing assembly is equipped with a press-type rebound mechanism, which allows the ice-receiving box to move from the ice-receiving station to the ice-dispensing station. This eliminates the need for a pull-out mechanism for the user, allowing the ice-receiving box to have a small gap with the mounting opening. This results in a smooth surface on the front wall of the housing assembly, which is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to clean.

[0014] For example, the ice box is equipped with a handle. This design is simple, low-cost, and more reliable.

[0015] For example, the housing assembly includes a rear shell and a front door, the rear shell being closable to the front door, the rear shell and the front door together forming an interior cavity. In summary, when the front door is open, the user can perform maintenance on the components within the interior cavity.

[0016] For example, the built-in beverage machine also includes a replaceable filter cartridge disposed in the inner cavity, with the front door fully exposing the replaceable filter cartridge when open. Fully exposing the replaceable filter cartridge when the front door is open makes filter cartridge replacement simpler.

[0017] This utility model description introduces a series of simplified concepts, which will be further explained in detail in the detailed description section. This utility model description is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.

[0030] In the following description, numerous details are provided to enable a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the following description merely illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, which may be practiced without one or more of these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features well-known in the art have not been described in detail.

[0031] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.

[0032] An embodiment of this utility model provides an embedded beverage machine. The embedded beverage machine according to an embodiment of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 For example, the embedded beverage machine includes a housing assembly with an inner cavity 300. Various components of the embedded beverage machine can be disposed within the inner cavity 300 for protection and support by the housing assembly. The embedded beverage machine may also include an ice-making component and an ice-receiving container 400, the ice-making component being disposed within the inner cavity 300. An installation opening 210 may be provided on the front wall of the housing assembly, and the ice-receiving container 400 is movably disposed within the installation opening 210. In some embodiments, the ice-receiving container 400 may be a drawer structure, allowing it to be pulled out or pushed in from the installation opening 210. In other embodiments, the ice-receiving container 400 may rotate within the installation opening 210. Optionally, the ice-receiving container 400 may be both translational along the depth direction of the embedded beverage machine and rotatable within the installation opening 210. In the ice-receiving position, the ice-receiving container 400 is inserted into the inner cavity 300 and connected to the ice outlet of the ice-making component, enabling the ice-receiving container 400 to collect ice produced by the ice-making component. The ice catcher 400 is positioned in the ice-retrieving position, extending beyond the front wall, with at least a portion of its ice outlet 410 exposed outside the front wall. In this position, the portion of the ice outlet 410 exposed outside the front wall is larger than the size of the ice block. This allows the user to remove ice from the outlet. The ice catcher 400 can be moved between the ice-catching and ice-retrieving positions manually by the user, or driven by an actuator such as a motor. Preferably, unless operated correctly by the user, the portion of the ice catcher 400 protruding from the front wall will not exceed the length of the ice catcher 400, preventing it from falling unprepared by the user.

[0034] Therefore, the ice produced by the ice-making component can be temporarily stored in the ice-collecting box 400. The ice-collecting box 400 can cover the installation opening, making the inside of the ice-making component more hygienic and improving ice-making efficiency. The ice-collecting box 400 can catch falling ice cubes, and users can take the ice cubes out of the ice-collecting box 400 without the need to prepare a separate container for catching ice cubes, making the operation more convenient.

[0035] Exemplarily, an embedded water supply unit may include a rear housing 100 and a front door 200, a portion of which may be made of materials such as plastic or metal. In the embodiment shown in the figures, at least a portion of the rear housing 100 and the front door 200 may be manufactured using sheet metal processing, resulting in higher strength and lower production costs. The rear housing 100 is closably connected to the front door 200, and the rear housing 100 and the front door 200 together form an inner cavity 300. Exemplarily, the front door 200 may be opened by pivoting, translating, or other means. In one embodiment, a hinge is provided between the front door 200 and the rear housing 100, allowing it to be opened by pivoting. In another embodiment, the front door 200 may be opened by sliding laterally. The figures show only one front door 200; in embodiments not shown, there may be more than one front door 200, for example, a double-door structure.

[0036] In one embodiment, the built-in beverage machine may include a filter cartridge, which can be maintained and replaced by the user. In another embodiment, the built-in beverage machine may include a water tank, which can be cleaned by the user. In yet another embodiment, the built-in beverage machine may be equipped with a heating element and a magnesium rod, which the user can replace himself / herself. In summary, when the front door 200 is open, the user can perform maintenance on the components in the inner cavity 300.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, exemplarily, the embedded beverage machine also includes a replaceable filter cartridge 600 disposed in the inner cavity 300. The replaceable filter cartridge 600 may include a first filter cartridge 610 and a second filter cartridge 620. The first filter cartridge 610 and the second filter cartridge 620 are disposed within the inner cavity 300. For each of the first filter cartridge 610 and the second filter cartridge 620, a corresponding filter seat may also be disposed in the inner cavity 300. The first filter cartridge 610 and the second filter cartridge 620 may respectively include a pre-filter cartridge and a central filter cartridge, or respectively include a central filter cartridge and a post-filter cartridge. The central filter cartridge plays the main filtration role. Taking the first filter cartridge 610 and the second filter cartridge 620 as a pre-filter cartridge and a central filter cartridge, respectively, the pre-filter cartridge may be a composite filter cartridge, which is located before the central filter cartridge and is used to perform pre-filtration on the water entering the central filter cartridge to extend the service life of the central filter cartridge. The central filter cartridge may include a reverse osmosis filter cartridge, an ultrafiltration filter cartridge, a nanofiltration filter cartridge, or a filter cartridge composed of any two or more of them. For reverse osmosis and nanofiltration filters, the water needs to be pressurized before entering the filter. In this case, the built-in beverage machine can also include a booster pump. Thus, the built-in beverage machine can provide users with high-quality purified water. The purified water can also power the ice-making component to produce ice cubes, resulting in fresher and more hygienic ice. The front door 200, when open, fully exposes the replaceable filter 600, making filter replacement simpler.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown, exemplarily, a press-type rebound device 500 can be provided on the housing assembly, allowing the ice-collecting box 400 to move from the ice-collecting station to the ice-retrieving station under the action of the press-type rebound device 500. The user can move the ice-collecting box 400 between the ice-collecting station and the ice-retrieving station by pressing it. Therefore, there is no need to leave a structure for the user to pull it out, and the ice-collecting box 400 can have a small gap with the mounting opening 210. This results in a flat surface on the front wall of the housing assembly, which is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to clean.

[0039] Exemplarily, the ice receiving container 400 has a front baffle 460 that completely covers the mounting opening 210 when the ice receiving container 400 is in the ice receiving position. Thus, the front baffle 460 can conceal the gap between the mounting opening 210 and the ice receiving container 400, making the mounting opening 210 invisible from the front of the built-in beverage machine, thus enhancing its aesthetics. When the user is not removing ice, the front baffle 460 also prevents dust and other contaminants from entering the gap. There may be a gap between the surface of the front baffle 460 and the front wall of the housing assembly. For built-in beverage machines equipped with a push-to-rebound mechanism 500, the user only needs to press the front baffle 460 of the ice receiving container 400 to pop it into the ice dispensing position, without needing to snap it into the gap between the front baffle 460 and the front wall of the housing assembly. In some embodiments, the ice receiving container 400' with a pull-out portion 470 does not have a front baffle 460. In some other embodiments, the ice container 400' with the pull-out part 470 may also be provided with a front baffle 460, with the pull-out part 470 located at the lower part of the front baffle 460, so that the user can easily pull out the ice container 400'.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, exemplarily, the ice box 400 includes a box body 430 and an insulation wall 440. The insulation wall 440 is connected to the front side of the box body 430, and an insulation cavity 450 is formed between the insulation wall 440 and the front wall of the box body 430. In one exemplary embodiment, the insulation wall 440 is disposed on the rear side of the front baffle, and the front part of the box body 430 is provided with a protrusion protruding from the front wall of the box body 430. The insulation wall 440, the protrusion, and the front wall of the box body 430 together form the insulation cavity 450. In another embodiment, the insulation wall 440 is provided with a protrusion protruding toward the box body 430, thereby forming an insulation cavity with the front wall of the box body 430. Optionally, the insulation wall 440 is fixed to the front baffle 460, and the front baffle 460 is fixed to the box body 430, thereby causing the insulation wall 440 to be spaced apart from the front wall of the box body 430 to form the insulation cavity 450. In some embodiments, the insulation wall 440 is formed on the surface of the front baffle 460 facing the box body 430. The insulation wall 440 protrudes from the mounting opening 210 when the ice receiving box 400 is in the ice receiving position. Here, "protruding from the mounting opening 210" means that the projection of the insulation wall 440 in the horizontal plane is located in front of the projection of the mounting opening 210 in the horizontal plane. Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the insulation cavity 450 may use only air as the insulation medium. In embodiments not shown, the insulation cavity 450 may also be filled with insulating materials such as foam or cotton. In some embodiments, the insulation cavity 450 may be kept in a vacuum state. The insulation cavity 450 can delay the melting of ice in the ice box 400, and the outer surface of the ice box 400 is less prone to frost buildup, resulting in a better user experience.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, exemplarily, the ice outlet 410 can be located at the bottom of the ice receiving box 400. When the ice receiving box 400 is in the ice receiving position, the ice outlet 410 is located within the inner cavity 300. Therefore, when the ice receiving box 400 is in the ice receiving position, the ice produced by the ice-making component will not fall outside the ice receiving box 400 due to the sealing effect of the inner cavity 300. When the ice receiving box 400 moves from the ice receiving position to the ice retrieval position, the ice can detach from the ice receiving box 400 through the ice outlet 410. Users can place an ice-receiving container, such as a paper cup, glass, or bowl, below the ice receiving box 400 to catch the falling ice.

[0042] For example, the bottom of the ice receiving box 400 is connected to a rotatable base plate 420. When the ice receiving box 400 is in the ice receiving position, the base plate 420 closes the ice outlet 410; and when the ice receiving box 400 is in the ice dispensing position, the base plate 420 opens the ice outlet 410 under the influence of gravity. For example, a pivot shaft is provided between the base plate 420 and the ice outlet 410, and the pivot shaft can be located at the end of the base plate 420 away from the front surface of the ice receiving box 400. In one embodiment, when the ice receiving box 400 is in the ice receiving position, the base plate 420 is supported from below, and ice blocks falling into the ice receiving box 400 can be held above the base plate 420. When the ice receiving box 400 is in the ice dispensing position, the base plate 420 loses its support, and the ice blocks can fall guided by the base plate 420, or they can fall directly from the ice outlet 410 without being guided by the base plate 420. In another embodiment, an elastic element may be provided between the base plate 420 and the ice receiving box 400, allowing the base plate 420 to close the ice outlet 410 under the action of the elastic force. When the ice receiving box 400 is in the ice-retrieving position, the ice blocks inside can press down on the base plate 420, causing the ice outlet 410 to open. When all the ice blocks have detached from the ice receiving box 400, the base plate 420 can return to the state of closing the ice outlet 410.

[0043] Compared to the embodiment where the ice container 400 has an open ice outlet 410, the user can clean the base plate 420, thereby preventing the ice from coming into contact with the hard-to-clean support surface below the ice outlet 410 and becoming contaminated.

[0044] As shown in the figure, exemplarily, a partition 110 is provided inside the rear shell 100, which divides the inner cavity 300 into an installation cavity 120. The ice-receiving box 400 is in the ice-receiving position, inserted into the installation cavity 120, and the bottom plate 420 is kept closed by the bottom wall of the installation cavity 120. This separates the ice-receiving box 400 from other components inside the rear shell 100, preventing heat transfer to the ice and causing it to melt. The bottom wall of the installation cavity 120 keeping the bottom plate 420 closed makes the structure of the ice-receiving box 400 simpler and less expensive.

[0045] In an embodiment where an ice outlet 410 is provided at the bottom of the ice box 400, a water receiving box 220 may also be provided on the front wall of the housing assembly. The water receiving box 220 can hold the water from the melting ice in the ice box 400. In one embodiment, the mounting cavity 120 may have an outer edge protruding from the front wall of the housing assembly, thereby guiding the melted water to flow into the water receiving box 220.

[0046] Exemplarily, a base plate 420 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the ice receiving box 400, and the ice outlet 410 is closed when the base plate 420 is in place. In some embodiments, the base plate 420 can be installed to the bottom of the ice receiving box 400 by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, allowing ice to be retained inside the ice receiving box 400. The user can also remove the base plate 420, allowing ice to fall from the ice outlet 410 when the ice receiving box 400 reaches the ice dispensing station. In other embodiments, a guide groove can be provided inside the ice receiving box 400, extending along both sides of the ice outlet 410. The sides of the base plate 420 can be inserted into the guide groove, thereby closing the ice outlet 410. In summary, the ice dispensing mode can be switched using a detachable base plate 420, and the structure is simple and low-cost.

[0047] Exemplarily, the ice catcher 400 is detachably mounted to the mounting port 210. In embodiments where the bottom of the ice catcher 400 is closed, the detachable ice catcher 400 allows the user to remove the ice catcher 400 along with the ice, thereby enabling the ice to be poured out for use. If the ice is forgotten or used multiple times, the melted residual cold water in the ice catcher 400 can be poured out. Additionally, the user can periodically clean the ice catcher 400. In some embodiments, when the ice catcher 400 is removed, the base plate 420 can be adjusted or disassembled, facilitating switching between automatically dropping ice from the pop-up ice catcher 400 and emptying ice by removing the ice catcher 400.

[0048] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8For example, the ice container 400' is provided with a handle, allowing the user to pull the ice container out of the mounting port. Optionally, the handle may have a side-facing groove for receiving the user's finger. Optionally, the handle may also be constructed as a pull ring. The handle can be located on the user-facing side of the ice container. This structure is simple, low-cost, and more reliable. Figure 8 As shown, the vertical dimension of the ice receiving box 400' may be small, and the ice receiving box 400' can also be provided with a heat insulation wall and a heat insulation cavity 450.
