Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment technology, specifically to a pipeline machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of the times, people's requirements for drinking water are getting higher and higher, and they are usually no longer satisfied with room temperature water and hot water. Pipe-flow water dispensers can provide users with room temperature water, cold water, and hot water, and have been recognized and purchased by most people. Pipe-flow water dispensers on the market can include wall-mounted dispensers and built-in dispensers. Some dispensers integrate water purification components to purify the water source, while others connect to water purifiers and other equipment to obtain purified water.
[0003] For water dispensers that can provide chilled water, there is a cooling system inside. The cooling system needs to dissipate heat during the cooling process, so existing water dispensers are usually equipped with a high-powered fan to provide sufficient air for heat dissipation.
[0004] Not only do fan-equipped water dispensers generate significant noise during operation, but for those used in relatively enclosed spaces, such as embedded water dispensers, poor air circulation causes heat generated by the cooling components to accumulate inside the device, affecting not only the performance of the water dispenser but also its lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0005] To at least partially address the problems existing in the prior art, some embodiments of this utility model provide a water dispenser with a water inlet, a water outlet, and a water outlet. It includes a water storage tank, the inlet of which is connected to the water outlet via a water supply pipe, and the water storage tank is connected to the water outlet via a first pipe. A cooling tank includes a cold water chamber, a refrigeration component, and a water-cooling component. The inlet of the cold water chamber is connected to the water inlet via an inlet pipe, and the outlet of the cold water chamber is connected to the water outlet. The cold end of the refrigeration component can exchange heat with the cold water chamber within the cooling tank, and the hot end of the refrigeration component can exchange heat with the water-cooling component. A water-cooling pipeline connects the water inlet and the water outlet, and the water-cooling component is connected in series on the water-cooling pipeline. In the above embodiments, the refrigeration component can be cooled by water cooling, eliminating the need for a fan with a high airflow rate and significantly reducing the noise during operation. Using the water storage tank as the source of cooling water for the water cooling system, which is then discharged after cooling the refrigeration component through the water-cooling pipeline, simplifies the structure of the water dispenser. For water dispensers using semiconductor cooling, the noise level during operation can be further reduced. In short, it can produce chilled water at low cost and low noise, and is especially suitable for applications where space is limited and conventional air cooling is difficult to dissipate heat.
[0006] For example, the water dispenser also includes a drain pump connected in series on the water-cooled piping. The drain outlet can be located beside the sink or on a countertop. Optionally, the drain outlet can be connected to a water outlet nozzle, allowing the user to discharge the cooling water through the sink or collect it in a container for use. The drain pump can stop operating when the user does not need to produce chilled water, preventing water from continuing to flow out of the storage tank and avoiding resource waste when cooling is not in use.
[0007] For example, the drain pump is a flow-adjustable pumping device. By controlling the flow rate of the cooling water through the pumping device, the cooling water can remain in the water-cooled components for a sufficient time before being discharged through the drain outlet. This ensures that the temperature of the cold water in the cold water chamber is lower for the same water consumption. Optionally, when the user requires a lower temperature of cold water, or when the water temperature in the storage tank is higher (e.g., in summer), the pumping rate of the drain pump can be increased to ensure that the user can be provided with the required temperature of cold water in a timely manner.
[0008] For example, the water-cooled piping is equipped with a flow-limiting component. This component restricts the rate of water flow, reducing water consumption. Optionally, the flow-limiting component can be manually adjusted to regulate the drainage flow rate without changing the drain pump speed.
[0009] For example, the water dispenser also includes an inlet control valve, which is connected in series on the water supply pipeline; and a water level detection device, which is used to detect the water level in the water storage tank. The inlet control valve is used to open when the water level is below the lower limit and close when the water level is above the upper limit. Therefore, when the water level in the water storage tank is low due to user water intake or water-cooled drainage, water can be automatically replenished in a timely manner.
[0010] For example, the water inlet pipe is connected to a water storage tank, which in turn connects to the water replenishment port. Replenishing water via the water storage tank eliminates the need to start the water purifier every time the user empties the cold water chamber.
[0011] For example, the cold water chamber of the cold tank is located at the bottom of the water storage tank, and the inlet of the cold water chamber is connected to the outlet at the bottom of the water storage tank via an inlet pipe. Therefore, the water storage tank can replenish water to the cold water chamber by gravity, eliminating the need for a water level detection device inside the cold water chamber, thereby reducing costs and simplifying the control logic.
[0012] For example, the water dispenser also includes a first water pump, which is installed on the first pipeline. The first water pump can pump water to a height above the water level in the storage tank, effectively increasing the water flow rate and improving the user experience. Optionally, the first water pump can control the flow rate, enabling the water dispenser to provide the user with hot water at a more accurate temperature when the user expects a higher temperature, avoiding excessive water flow that results in insufficient heating and a lower water temperature.
[0013] For example, the water dispenser also includes a heating element disposed on the first pipe. Thus, the water dispenser is able to provide hot water to the user.
[0014] For example, the water dispenser also includes a cooling water tank, a return pipe, and a drain valve. The drain valve is connected in series between the water-cooled pipe and the drain outlet. The inlet of the cooling water tank is connected to the water supply port, and the inlet of the water-cooled pipe is connected to the outlet of the cooling water tank, allowing the water-cooled pipe to connect to the water supply port via the cooling water tank. The return pipe is connected between the inlet of the drain valve and the inlet of the cooling water tank. The cooling water tank is connected to the drain outlet when the drain valve is open. Thus, by circulating water from the cooling water tank before discharge, the utilization efficiency of the cooling water can be improved, and water consumption can be reduced.
[0015] For example, the water dispenser also includes a temperature sensor for detecting the water temperature in the cooling tank, and a drain valve opens when the water temperature is higher than a preset temperature. By circulating the water in the cooling tank to a certain temperature before discharging it, the utilization efficiency of the cooling water can be further improved and water consumption reduced.

[0026] 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.
[0027] 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.
[0028] This utility model provides a pipeline machine according to an embodiment. The pipeline machine according to an embodiment of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1As shown, the water dispenser has a water inlet 10, a water outlet 20, and a drain outlet 30. The water inlet 10 can be used to obtain a water source, for example, it can be connected to the outlet of a water purifier. The water outlet 20 can provide users with water that has been stored and / or processed by the water dispenser. Specifically, the water dispenser can store purified water from the water inlet 10 and provide room temperature water to users through the water outlet 20. In this case, the water dispenser may include a water storage tank 100. Alternatively, the water dispenser can heat or cool the water from the water purifier before providing it to the user. Optionally, the water outlet 20 can be connected to a faucet or water spout. Optionally, the water outlet 20 can have multiple separate openings, so that water that has undergone different treatments, such as cooled or heated water, is provided to the user through different openings without interference. The inlet of the water storage tank 100 can be connected to the water inlet 10 via the water supply pipe 200, and the water storage tank 100 is also connected to the water outlet 20 via the first pipe 300. In the embodiment where the water inlet 10 is connected to the water purifier, the water storage tank 100 can store a large amount of purified water extracted by the water purifier in the water storage tank 100, and provide the product to the user through the water storage tank 100 when the user takes water. This can reduce the number of times the water purifier is started and stopped, and extend the service life of the water purifier.
[0029] The cold tank 400 may include a cold water chamber (not shown) disposed therein. Optionally, the cold water chamber may have a shape substantially the same as the main body of the cold tank 400, being cubic in shape. Optionally, the cold tank 400 may have tortuous pipes formed inside, with the cold water chamber having an inner cavity formed by the pipes, thereby increasing the inner surface area of the cold water chamber. The cold tank 400 may also include a refrigeration component, which may include a compressor-type refrigeration component, a semiconductor refrigeration component, or other existing or future refrigeration components. Regardless of the type of refrigeration component, heat is generated during the refrigeration process, causing one part of the refrigeration component to form a hot end and the other part to form a cold end. The cold end of the refrigeration component can exchange heat with the cold water chamber, thereby cooling the water in the cold water chamber. The water inlet of the cold water chamber can be connected to the water supply inlet 10 through the water inlet pipe 600 to replenish water when the cold water chamber is short of water. Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the water inlet pipe 600 is directly connected to the water supply port 10. In this case, a water supply valve 610 can be installed on the water inlet pipe 600 to control water supply, and the cold water chamber is open to the outside atmosphere. In this case, the cold water chamber does not need to be completely filled before water can be dispensed; in other words, some air can remain above the water surface in the cold water chamber. When dispensing water, the water supply valve 610 does not need to be opened, and only water from the cold water chamber is supplied to the user. The outside atmosphere can replenish the cold water chamber, and no negative pressure will be formed in the cold water chamber. Conversely, when replenishing water, the air in the cold water chamber can be expelled. The outlet of the cold water chamber can be connected to the water supply port 20. Thus, the water dispenser can provide users with cold water below room temperature.
[0030] For any existing type of refrigeration component, the cooling efficiency decreases when the temperature difference between its hot and cold ends is too large. Taking semiconductor refrigeration as an example, when the temperature difference between its hot and cold ends exceeds 50 degrees Celsius, its cooling effect becomes almost negligible, causing the water temperature in the cooling tank 400 to stop decreasing, making it difficult for the water dispenser to provide the required temperature of chilled water. Therefore, the hot end of the refrigeration component needs to be cooled. The hot end of the refrigeration component can exchange heat with the water-cooling component 500, which can transfer heat from the hot end to the cooling water. Since water has a much higher specific heat capacity than air, the temperature rise of the same volume of water is much less than that of the same volume of air during the process of cooling water passing through the hot end of the water-cooling component. Thus, only a very small flow rate of cooling water is needed to achieve the same cooling effect as a larger flow rate of air. Experiments show that with a cooling power of 60W and a temperature difference of 10 degrees Celsius between the chilled water and the air, an air flow rate of 279 L / min is required. With the same cooling power of 60W and a temperature difference of 5 degrees between cold water and cooling water, the required water flow rate is only 170mL / min.
[0031] In some embodiments, the refrigeration assembly includes a compressor and a refrigerant circulation pipeline. In this case, the water-cooling assembly 500 can be configured as nested pipelines, with one of the refrigerant and cooling water flowing in the inner tube of the water-cooling assembly 500, and the other flowing between the outer wall of the inner tube and the outer tube. Optionally, the water-cooling assembly 500 may include heat sinks and water pipes made of thermally conductive material embedded in the heat sinks. Optionally, the water-cooling assembly 500 may include a water cooling head. For semiconductor coolers, since they do not have a pipeline structure, the water-cooling assembly 500 can adopt a planar component such as the water cooling head described above. The pipeline machine may also include a water-cooled pipeline 700 connected between the water inlet 10 and the drain outlet 30, with the water-cooling assembly 500 arranged in series on the water-cooled pipeline 700. Cooling water can pass through the water-cooling assembly 500, cool the water-cooling assembly 500, and then be discharged to the outside through the drain outlet 30. Alternatively, the water-cooled pipe 700 may also be constructed as a water-cooled assembly 500 or as part of the water-cooled assembly 500, for example, at least a portion of the water-cooled pipe 700 may be made of a thermally conductive material and in contact with the hot end.
[0032] In the above embodiments, water cooling is used to dissipate heat from the cooling components, eliminating the need for fans with high airflow rates and significantly reducing noise during operation. Using a water tank 100 as the cooling water source, the water flows through the water-cooled pipes 700 to cool the cooling components before being discharged, simplifying the structure of the water dispenser. For water dispensers employing semiconductor cooling, noise can be further reduced. In short, this method allows for low-cost, low-noise production of chilled water, making it particularly suitable for applications where space constraints make conventional air cooling ineffective.
[0033] For example, the water dispenser may also include a drain pump 710 connected in series with the water-cooled piping 700. The drain pump 710 allows the drain outlet 30 to be positioned above the water storage tank 100. Specifically, for example, the water dispenser may be an under-sink type, where the height of the water storage tank 100 is lower than the sink and countertop. The drain outlet 30 may be located beside the sink or on the countertop. Optionally, the drain outlet 30 may be connected to a spout, allowing the user to discharge the cooling water discharged from the drain outlet 30 through the sink or collect it in a container. The drain pump 710 can stop operating when the user does not need to produce cooling water, preventing further water outflow from the water storage tank 100 and avoiding resource waste when not cooling. For example, the drain pump 710 is a flow-adjustable pumping device. The limited size of the water-cooled assembly 500 restricts the surface area of its flow channels. When cooling water passes through at a high flow rate, it may not absorb enough heat before flowing out of the water-cooled assembly 500. This requires a large amount of cooling water to achieve the same cooling effect. By controlling the flow rate of the cooling water through a pumping device, the cooling water can remain in the water-cooling component 500 for a sufficient period of time before being discharged through the drain outlet 30. This ensures that the temperature of the cooling water in the cooling water chamber is lower for the same water consumption. Optionally, when the user requires a lower cooling water temperature, or when the water temperature in the storage tank 100 is higher (e.g., in summer), the pumping rate of the drain pump 710 can be increased to ensure that the user can be provided with the required temperature of cooling water in a timely manner.
[0034] For example, the water-cooled piping 700 may be equipped with a flow-limiting component. For the aforementioned pipeline machine, cooling water can be discharged to the outside through the water-cooled component 500 in two ways, including:
[0035] Water in the water storage tank 100 flows out through the water cooling component 500 by gravity. In this type of embodiment, a flow-limiting component can limit the outflow rate of the cooling water, ensuring that the cooling water has sufficient time to contact the water cooling component 500. Optionally, the flow-limiting component includes a pipe section with a small inner diameter or a plug with a small hole. Optionally, the flow-limiting component can control the height of the drain outlet 30 connected to the outside. Optionally, the flow rate of the flow-limiting component is adjustable, and the flow rate of the flow-limiting component can be appropriately adjusted according to the required temperature of the cold water, the frequency of cold water use, and the acceptable waiting time when using cold water.
[0036] Additionally, water in the water storage tank 100 is discharged by the drain pump 710. In this type of embodiment, optionally, the flow rate of the drain pump 710 is non-adjustable; the rate of water outflow can be limited by a flow-limiting component to reduce water consumption. Optionally, the flow-limiting component can be manually adjusted to regulate the drainage flow rate without changing the flow rate of the drain pump 710.
[0037] For example, the water dispenser may also include an inlet control valve 210 and a water level detection device. The inlet control valve 210 may be connected in series on the water supply pipe 200. The inlet control valve 210 may include a solenoid valve, a rotary valve driven by a motor, etc., capable of controlling the opening and closing of the water circuit. The water level detection device is used to detect the water level in the water storage tank 100. Optionally, the water level detection device may be installed inside the water storage tank 100, for example, the water level detection device may include a float-type water level gauge, a probe-type water level gauge, etc. Optionally, the water level detection device may be installed outside the water storage tank 100, for example, including an ultrasonic water level gauge, an infrared water level gauge, etc. The inlet control valve 210 is used to open when the water level is below the lower limit and close when the water level is above the upper limit. As described above, the water inlet 10 can be connected to a water purifier. The water purifier can supply water externally via a high-pressure switch. Specifically, when the inlet control valve 210 of the water dispenser is open, the high-pressure switch detects a decrease in the pipeline pressure connected to the water inlet 10 and controls the water purifier to start and supply water externally. When the inlet control valve 210 of the water dispenser is closed, the high-pressure switch of the water purifier detects that the pipeline pressure has reached a threshold and controls the water purifier to stop working. Thus, when the water level in the storage tank 100 is low due to user water intake or water cooling drainage, water can be automatically replenished in a timely manner.
[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, exemplarily, the water inlet pipe 600 can be connected to the water storage tank 100, and then connected to the water inlet 10 via the water storage tank 100. Since the user's demand for cold water is usually not large, the cold water chamber volume of the cold water tank 400 is typically small compared to the water storage tank 100. Optionally, the volume of the cold water chamber is no more than half the volume of the water storage tank 100. Replenishing water through the water storage tank 100 eliminates the need to start the water purifier every time the user empties the cold water chamber.
[0039] For example, the cold water chamber of the cold tank 400 is located at the lower part of the water storage tank 100, and the inlet of the cold water chamber is connected to the outlet at the bottom of the water storage tank 100 through the inlet pipe 600. As a result, the water storage tank 100 can replenish water to the cold water chamber by gravity, and there is no need to install a water level detection device in the cold water chamber, thereby reducing costs and simplifying the control logic.
[0040] For example, the water dispenser also includes a heating assembly 320 disposed on the first pipe 300. The heating assembly 320 may include, but is not limited to, existing or future heating elements such as thick-film heaters, hot water tanks, and electromagnetic heaters. Thus, the water dispenser is able to provide hot water to the user.
[0041] For example, the water dispenser also includes a first water pump 310, which is installed on the first pipeline 300. The first water pump 310 can pump water to a height 100 degrees above the water level in the storage tank, effectively increasing the water flow rate and improving the user experience. Optionally, the first water pump 310 can control the flow rate, enabling the water dispenser to provide the user with hot water at a more accurate temperature when the user expects a higher temperature, avoiding excessive water flow that results in insufficient heating and a lower water temperature.
[0042] For example, the water dispenser may further include a cooling water tank 800, a return pipe 900, and a drain valve 1000, with the drain valve 1000 connected in series between the water-cooled pipe 700 and the drain outlet 30. The cooling water tank 800 may include a first inlet 801, a second inlet 802, and a third inlet 803. The first inlet 801 can be connected to the water supply inlet 10. The inlet of the water-cooled pipe 700 is connected to the outlet of the cooling water tank 800, so that the water-cooled pipe 700 is connected to the water supply inlet 10 through the cooling water tank 800. The return pipe 900 is connected between the inlet of the drain valve 1000 and the third inlet 803 of the cooling water tank 800. The cooling water tank 800 is connected to the drain outlet 30 when the drain valve 1000 is open. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the cooling water tank 800 can be connected to the water inlet 10. When the drain valve 1000 is open, the water in the cooling water tank 800 is discharged through the drain outlet 30, reducing the water pressure at the water inlet 10. The water purifier can then replenish the cooling water tank 800 to replace the warmer water. When the drain valve 1000 is closed, the drain pump 710 can be activated to pump the water in the cooling water tank 800 to the water-cooling assembly 500. The cooling water from the water-cooling assembly 500 returns to the cooling water tank 800 via the return pipe 900. In this embodiment, the water-cooling pipe 700, the drain pump 710, the return pipe 900, and the cooling water tank 800 all need to be pressure-bearing structures. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the cooling water tank 800 can be connected downstream of the inlet control valve 210, and the cooling water tank 800 is in communication with the air. Therefore, when water is drawn from or drained from the cooling water tank 800, no negative pressure will form in the cooling water tank 800. In this embodiment, the cooling water tank 800 does not need to be pressurized. When the inlet control valve 210 is opened, water can be added to the cooling water tank 800 simultaneously. In this case, a water level detection device is installed in the cooling water tank 800 to add water when the water level is low and stop adding water when the water level is high. Optionally, to prevent the water storage tank 100 from overflowing when the cooling water tank 800 is added, the water storage tank 100 can also be equipped with a float switch. In an embodiment not shown, the cooling water tank 800 can be connected to the water inlet 10 using a separate solenoid valve. Figure 5In the illustrated embodiment, the cooling water tank 800 can be positioned below the water storage tank 100 and connected to the water inlet 10 via the water storage tank 100. The water storage tank 100 replenishes water to the cooling water tank 800 by gravity. In some embodiments, the first inlet 801 and the third inlet 803 may be combined into a single inlet. For the sake of brevity, identical components in the three embodiments are referred to by the same reference numerals. Thus, by circulating and discharging the water from the cooling water tank 800, the utilization efficiency of the cooling water can be improved, and water consumption can be reduced.
[0043] For example, the water dispenser also includes a temperature sensor for detecting the water temperature in the cooling water tank 800, and a drain valve 1000 opens when the water temperature is higher than a preset temperature. As mentioned above, when the hot end temperature is too high, it will affect the cooling efficiency of the refrigeration components, and may even cause the cooling tank 400 to be unable to provide the required temperature of cold water. Therefore, when the water temperature in the cooling water tank 800 is high, the drain valve 1000 can be opened to drain the high-temperature water and replace it with lower-temperature water. Optionally, when the drain valve 1000 is open, the drain pump 710 can also continue to work, thereby emptying the cooling water tank 800 more quickly. By circulating the water in the cooling water tank 800 to a certain temperature before discharging it, the utilization efficiency of the cooling water can be further improved and water consumption reduced.
