Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water dispensers, and in particular to a water vapor separator box inside a water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] An instant water dispenser is a household appliance that integrates hot and cold water functions. The product consists of a top cover, water outlet, water tank, heating element, inlet and outlet water piping system, and control system. Instant water dispensers utilize powerful heat to rapidly heat water. However, because of this rapid heating, the water boils quickly, producing high-temperature steam. When dispensing water, this steam can cause the boiling water to splash, potentially scalding the user and posing a safety hazard.

[0003] For the reasons mentioned above, the common practice is to pass the hot water through a water-vapor separator before it is drained through the drain outlet. The hot water in the water-vapor separator is poured out into a cup, while the hot steam is discharged through the steam pipe.

[0004] Currently, the existing water vapor separator has a large inner diameter of the water outlet hole. When the water flow inside the water vapor separator is small, the water flowing out of the water outlet hole is prone to shaking or interruption, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides a water vapor separation box for a water dispenser, including a body 1, and a water outlet 2 for dispensing water near the top of the body 1; specifically, a water vapor separation structure is fixedly provided inside the body 1, the water vapor separation structure is arranged near the water outlet 2, and the interior of the water vapor separation structure is connected to the water outlet 2, and a diversion unit for guiding the water flow vertically and stably is provided inside the water vapor separation structure.

[0024] The water vapor separation structure includes a box body 3, inside which is a cavity 4 for water to flow through; specifically, a water vapor separation cover 5 is fixedly provided on the top of the box body 3 to close the upper opening of the inner cavity 4.

[0025] The inner wall of the water vapor separation cover 5 extends downward and is provided with a diversion plate 6 for water flow diversion; specifically, the diversion unit includes a diversion needle 7 extending downward and provided on the inner wall of the water vapor separation cover 5, and both the diversion needle 7 and the diversion plate 6 are arranged perpendicular to the inner wall of the water vapor separation cover 5.

[0026] The side wall of the box body 3 is provided with a water inlet component 8 for water intake, and the water inlet component 8 has a water inlet channel 9 inside. The water inlet component 8 is arranged near the diversion plate 6. Specifically, the bottom of the box body 3 extends downward to provide a water outlet component 10 for water outlet. The water outlet component 10 has a water outlet channel 11 inside. The water outlet channel 11 is connected to the water outlet part 2. The water outlet component 10 is arranged near the guide needle 7. The guide needle 7 extends in the direction of the inside of the water outlet channel 11 and guides the water to the water outlet channel 11.

[0027] The inner walls on both sides of the receiving cavity 4 are provided with flow-gathering plates 12, which are arranged on the side of the diverting plate 6 away from the water inlet 8. Specifically, the diverting plate 6 and the flow-gathering plate 12 divide the interior of the receiving cavity 4 into a first diverting channel 13, a second flow-gathering channel 14 and a third flow channel cavity 15. The first diverting channel 13 is connected to the water inlet channel 9, the third flow channel cavity 15 is connected to the water outlet channel 11, and the second flow-gathering channel 14 is arranged between the first diverting channel 13 and the third flow channel cavity 15.

[0028] The flow-gathering plate 12 is inclined toward the water outlet 10, and the flow-dividing plate 6 is provided with a protruding column 16 for diverting the flow near the middle part toward the water inlet 8.

[0029] The box 3 is also equipped with a steam pipe for discharging hot steam. Before the hot water is discharged through the water outlet channel 11, it passes through the water vapor separation box. The hot water in the water vapor separation box is poured out into the water cup, while the hot steam is discharged through the steam pipe.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: hot water enters the receiving cavity 4 through the water inlet channel 9 in the water inlet component 8. The hot water first enters the first diversion channel 13. The water flow is divided into two streams by the protruding column 16 and flows to both sides. The two streams flow to the second converging channel 14 and re-converge into one stream. Under the guidance of the converging plate 12, the water flows into the third flow channel cavity 15. Finally, the water flows out through the water outlet channel 11. A portion of the water flows out through the guide needle 7 and then through the guide needle 7 to the water outlet channel 11. It then flows out through the water outlet 2 into the water cup. Since the inner diameter of the guide needle 7 is smaller than the inner diameter of the water outlet channel 11, the water flow guided by the guide needle 7 flows out more stably, making the water flow stable, the overall water flow more concentrated, and the water pattern better.

[0031] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: by setting a guide needle 7 extending downward on the inner wall of the water vapor separation cover 5, and the guide needle 7 extending in the direction of the inside of the water outlet channel 11, some of the water flowing out from the water outlet channel 11 is guided out through the guide needle 7, so that the water outlet is stable, the overall water outlet is more concentrated, the water pattern is better, and it is easier for users to collect, avoiding the hot water from splitting and causing scalding to users, thus improving the user experience.
