[0016] Preferably, both the rotating base A and the rotating base B are provided with a magnetic material receiving part, and the magnet is placed in the magnetic material receiving part.

[0017] Preferably, the base is placed on an office desk and is equipped with a power outlet; a water container is placed between the two arms of the U-shaped double-arm water outlet arm.

[0018] More preferably, the rotation angle of the water outlet arm is 0-110 degrees relative to the horizontal direction.

[0019] More preferably, the assembly angle of the water outlet arm is 130 degrees relative to the horizontal direction.

[0020] Preferably, the limiting protrusion cooperates with the limiting bone, and when the flip seat rotates to the limiting bone, the limiting protrusion abuts against the limiting bone to prevent the water outlet arm from rotating further away from the base.

[0021] One or more technical solutions provided in this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0022] The above technical solution comprises a base, an inlet, an outlet arm, a tilting seat, an outlet, and a limiting mechanism.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0032] Existing water dispensers occupy a large area, and when placed in an office area, users often need to walk from their workstation to the dispenser. When hot water is needed, users often have to fill a container and walk back to their workstation with the hot water, avoiding spills along the way. This results in wasted space and inconvenience.

[0033] The technical solution of this application provides a double-arm flip-type water outlet structure, which solves the problems of large space occupation and inconvenience of use in the prior art. The combination of water outlet arm 100, water outlet pipe 130, flip seat 200 and base 400 achieves the beneficial effects of saving space and being easy to use.

[0034] The overall concept of the implementation scheme of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0035] A double-arm flip-type water dispensing structure includes a base 400, a water inlet 410, a water outlet arm 100, a flip seat 200, a water outlet pipe 130, and a water outlet 110. The water inlet 410 is located on the base 400, and an operation panel 300 is mounted on the base 400. The water inlet 410 is connected to a drinking water source (a small water bottle can be used as the drinking water source). The flip seat 200 is located at the end of the base 400 away from the water inlet 410. The water outlet arm 100 is movably connected to the base 400 through the flip seat 200, allowing the water outlet arm 100 to flip at a certain angle along one end of the base 400. The base 400 is equipped with a water pump heating assembly (which can be the water pump heating assembly used in existing water dispensers). The water outlet pipe 130 connects to the water pump heating assembly of the base 400 and is fixed in the water outlet arm 100. In use, place the double-arm flip-type water outlet structure on a table, connect a drinking water source to the inlet 410, flip the water outlet arm 100 to a horizontal angle greater than 90 degrees relative to the base 400, adjust the water outlet nozzle 140 of the water outlet pipe 130 to align it with the water cup, press the button on the control panel 300 to select the corresponding water outlet mode, and fill the cup with water. When the water outlet arm 100 is flipped to an angle less than 90 degrees, the water pump heating assembly on the base 400 stops discharging water.

[0036] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] A double-arm tilting water outlet structure, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it consists of a base 400, a water inlet 410, a water outlet arm 100, a tilting seat 200, and a water outlet 110. The top of the base 400 is equipped with an operation panel 300, which is higher than other parts of the base 400. The water outlet arm 100 is installed on one side of the base 400, and the water inlet 410 is located at the end of the base 400 away from the water outlet arm 100.

[0038] The water outlet arm 100 is a U-shaped double-arm water outlet arm 100. The top of the water outlet arm 100 is equipped with a water outlet 140. The water outlet 140 is connected to the water outlet pipe 130. The water outlet pipe 130 is connected to the water pump heating assembly in the base 400. The water pump heating assembly is connected to the water inlet 410. The water inlet 410 is connected to a drinking water supply container. The drinking water supply container is preferably a small-capacity water bottle, especially a water bottle of about 2L.

[0039] The bottom of the two arms of the water outlet arm 100 is provided with a through hole 150, and a flip seat 200 is provided inside the through hole 150. The end of the base 400 away from the water inlet 410 is provided with an assembly port 500, which matches the flip seat 200.

[0040] The water outlet arm 100 is movably coupled to the assembly port 500 via the flip seat 200. Flipping the water outlet arm 100 along the assembly port 500 allows the water outlet arm 100 to move from its flat position on the base 400 to the water outlet angle.

[0041] Since the water outlet arm 100 is a U-shaped double-arm water outlet arm 100 and the operation panel 300 is higher than other parts of the base 400, the operation panel 300 is exposed when the water outlet arm 100 is closed on the top of the base 400.

[0042] To further control the stroke of the water outlet arm 100 and prevent it from expanding too much, a limiting mechanism is used to limit the angle of the water outlet arm 100. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting block 160, a limiting protrusion 240, and a limiting rib 250. The limiting block 160 is located within the through hole 150 of the water outlet arm 100, and the limiting protrusion 240 is located within the flip seat 200. The limiting rib 250 is provided within the assembly opening of the base 400.

[0043] To improve ease of installation, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, an outer ring 510 is added outside the assembly port 500, and the outer ring 510 is provided with an entry slot 420. The entry slot 420 of the outer ring 510 matches the limiting block 160.

[0044] To further improve the convenience of angle adjustment and limit, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the flip seat 200 is divided into a flip seat A210 and a flip seat B220. Both flip seats A210 and B220 are provided with a magnetic material receiving part 231, and the magnet 230 is placed in the magnetic material receiving part 231.

[0045] During installation, rotate the rotary seats A210 and B220 into the through holes 150 of the outlet arm 100, and then move the limiting block 160 past the entry slot 420 to complete the installation. The limiting rib 250 provided in the assembly port 500 can abut against the limiting protrusions 240 in the rotary seats A210 and B220 to limit the rotation angle of the rotary seats, thereby ensuring that the rotation angle of the outlet arm 100 is within a preset range. The preset upper limit of the rotation angle is 110 degrees.

[0046] To further enhance water discharge safety, the water pump heating assembly will not start when the angle of the water discharge arm 100 is less than 90 degrees relative to the horizontal direction, thus avoiding water discharge at an inappropriate angle.

[0047] Specifically, the base 400 is equipped with a safety device. When the magnet 230 is flipped to the corresponding stop water outlet position (action point), it moves away from the circuit board induction switch and stops the water supply.

[0048] The existing single-arm water outlet technology requires a large rotation angle to achieve water outlet. If a single arm is used, the water column is likely to fall to the edge of the water cup or cause splashing.

[0049] like Figure 2 The design features a U-shaped double-arm system, which allows a water container to be placed between the two arms of the water outlet, avoiding the risk of the water column falling to the edge of the cup or splashing out due to the single-arm design.

[0050] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
