Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to an automatic breaking mechanism for a water dispenser bucket. Background Technology

[0002] Most direct-drinking water dispensers on the market currently rely on manual operation to open the water tank. While manual operation is simple and easy, inconsistent force control among different users leads to inefficiency and potential safety hazards. Furthermore, manual operation can also cause bacterial contamination, affecting the safety of drinking water.

[0003] Traditional methods for breaking open bottled water containers mainly involve using a conical tool or a round rod with a handle to puncture them. These methods are inexpensive and readily available, but they also have significant drawbacks. For example, considerable force is required to break the container, making it difficult for people with less strength. Furthermore, repeatedly using the same tool makes it difficult to maintain its hygiene, potentially introducing external contaminants.

[0004] Existing manual methods of opening wounds are complex and time-consuming, and the lack of effective disinfection measures increases the risk of secondary contamination. These problems not only reduce the user experience but also pose a potential threat to public health. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce manpower input while improving work efficiency, ensure the consistency and safety of each breaking operation, avoid the risk of injury caused by improper manual operation, and improve the overall performance and reliability of the water dispenser, this application provides an automatic breaking mechanism for the water dispenser bucket.

[0006] This application provides an automatic water tank breaking mechanism for a water dispenser, employing the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic water tank breaking mechanism for a water dispenser includes a body, a bracket fixedly connected to the body, a breaking component mounted on the bracket, and a receiving component for driving the water tank to move and rise. The receiving component is mounted on the body, and the breaking component is located above the receiving component.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the process of automatically breaking open the water bottle in a water dispenser can be achieved. Specifically, automated operation improves the user experience and reduces the inconvenience of manual operation. The bottle receiving assembly drives the lifting support to rise and fall, allowing the water inlet of the bottle to precisely approach and be broken by the breaking assembly, improving breaking efficiency and safety. The breaking assembly, fixed to the bracket, ensures the consistency and stability of the breaking position each time, avoiding errors caused by human factors. The entire process requires no manual intervention, effectively preventing bacterial contamination and ensuring the safety of drinking water.

[0009] Preferably, the bucket receiving assembly includes a bucket lifting support for receiving the bucket and a driving component for moving the bucket lifting support. The bucket lifting support is slidably mounted on the machine body, and the driving component is fixed on the machine body. The bucket lifting support is connected to the driving component through a connector.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, an automatic bucket-breaking function is achieved. Specifically, the bucket-lifting support can stably support the bucket and achieve precise height adjustment with the movement of the drive component, ensuring that the breaking component accurately acts on the bucket's spout. The drive component is fixed to the machine body, providing stable driving force and avoiding the uncertainties and safety hazards caused by manual operation. The design of the connecting component ensures a reliable mechanical transmission between the bucket-lifting support and the drive component, ensuring a smooth and reliable breaking process. The entire mechanism has a high degree of automation, reducing human intervention, improving work efficiency and safety, and avoiding bacterial contamination problems that may be caused by manual operation, thus ensuring the safety of drinking water.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting member includes a first linkage part, a second linkage part, a first sliding part, and a second sliding part. The first sliding part is slidably mounted on the machine body, and the second sliding part is slidably mounted on the lifting bucket support. One end of the first linkage part is rotatably connected to the first sliding part, and the other end is rotatably connected to the lifting bucket support. One end of the second linkage part is rotatably connected to the second sliding part, and the other end is rotatably connected to the output end of the drive member. The middle part of the second linkage part is rotatably connected to the middle part of the first linkage part.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector design allows the lifting support to move smoothly and precisely, ensuring that the bottled water does not shift or shake during the breaking process, thus improving the success rate and safety of breaking. At the same time, the multi-stage linkage structure effectively transmits driving force, reduces energy loss, and improves the overall system operating efficiency.

[0013] Preferably, the machine body is provided with a sliding aid and a limiting part. The sliding aid is fixedly installed on the machine body. The first sliding part is slidably connected to the sliding aid. The limiting part is installed at one end of the sliding aid, and the first sliding part abuts against the limiting part.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the sliding aid and the limiting part allows the first sliding part to slide smoothly along the sliding aid, ensuring the stability of the lifting bucket support during the entire driving process. Simultaneously, the design of the limiting part effectively prevents system failure or damage due to overshoot of the first sliding part, improving the system's reliability and safety. Furthermore, the above design simplifies the structure, facilitating production and maintenance.

[0015] Preferably, the bucket support has a positioning part for positioning the bucket.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the bucket lifting support is equipped with a positioning part, which can ensure that the bucket remains stable during the lifting process and avoid failure of the opening or damage to the equipment due to position displacement.

[0017] Preferably, the breaking assembly includes an insert and a fixing member, one end of the fixing member passing through the bracket and the other end being fixedly connected to the bracket; one end of the insert is inserted through the fixing member.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the rupture assembly consists of an insert and a fixing component. One end of the fixing component passes through and is fixedly connected to the bracket, ensuring the stability and reliability of the rupture assembly. One end of the insert passes through the fixing component, allowing for accurate and forceful rupture of the bucket's seal as it rises, achieving automated rupture operation. This effectively avoids the safety hazards caused by uneven force during manual rupture, improves rupture efficiency and safety, and reduces the risk of bacterial contamination due to manual operation, thus ensuring the safety of drinking water.

[0019] Preferably, the fixing member has a protruding stop that is fixedly connected to the bracket.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the stop provided on the fastener ensures a stable connection between the fastener and the support, thereby improving the structural stability of the entire breaching assembly. This not only helps prevent safety hazards caused by loosening of the fastener during the breaching process, but also improves the operational reliability and service life of the breaching assembly.

[0021] Preferably, the insert has a force-reducing part protruding from the middle, and the force-reducing part is fixedly connected to the bracket.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, a force-reducing part is provided in the middle of the insert. This design can effectively reduce the resistance generated during the breaking process, making it easier to break the water bottle's spout, thereby improving breaking efficiency and reliability. At the same time, the force-reducing part is fixedly connected to the bracket, ensuring the stability of the structure and avoiding mechanical failures or damage caused by uneven stress, further improving the safety and service life of the entire system.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described herein. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of the present invention and not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiments in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments are also within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] This application improves upon the traditional method of breaking open bottled water containers, which is simple and direct but suffers from numerous problems in practical applications, such as complex operation, long processing time, and lack of effective disinfection measures. These problems not only reduce the user experience but also pose a potential threat to public health. Therefore, this application mainly adopts the following solution to achieve automated, efficient, and safe bottle-breaking operations, which are further described in detail below.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] This application provides an embodiment of an automatic water tank breaking mechanism for a water dispenser, see [link to related document]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a body 1, a bracket 2 fixedly connected to the body 1, a breaking assembly 3 installed on the bracket 2, and a receiving assembly 4 that drives the water bucket to move and rise. The receiving assembly 4 is installed on the body 1, and the breaking assembly 3 is located above the receiving assembly 4, thus achieving the effect of automatically, efficiently and safely completing the water bucket breaking operation.

[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the bucket receiving assembly 4 includes a bucket lifting support 41 for receiving the water bucket and a drive component 42 for moving the bucket lifting support 41. The bucket lifting support 41 is slidably mounted on the machine body 1, and the drive component 42 is fixed to the machine body 1. The bucket lifting support 41 is connected to the drive component 42 through a connector 5. This structure makes the entire lifting process more stable and reliable, avoiding failures or safety hazards caused by uneven manpower.

[0037] The bucket lifting support 41 has a positioning part 410 for positioning the bucket. The design of the positioning part 410 ensures that the bucket maintains a stable posture during the lifting process, preventing failure due to tilting.

[0038] In this embodiment, the positioning part 410 is specifically a positioning ring, and the bucket lifting support 41 is specifically a bucket lifting support plate. The positioning ring is fixed on the bucket lifting support plate. In other embodiments, the positioning part 410 can also be a slot, a clamp, etc. The appropriate positioning method can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0039] The driving component 42 is specifically an electric hydraulic lever, and the connecting component 5 is connected to the output end of the electric hydraulic lever.

[0040] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the connecting component 5 includes a first linkage part 51, a second linkage part 52, a first sliding part 53, and a second sliding part. The first sliding part 53 is slidably mounted on the body 1, and the second sliding part is slidably mounted on the lifting bucket support 41. One end of the first linkage part 51 is rotatably connected to the first sliding part 53, and the other end is rotatably connected to the lifting bucket support 41. One end of the second linkage part 52 is rotatably connected to the second sliding part, and the other end is rotatably connected to the output end of the drive component 42. Furthermore, the middle part of the second linkage part 52 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the first linkage part 51. This multi-link structure effectively transmits driving force, reduces energy loss, and improves the system's response speed and stability.

[0041] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The machine body 1 is provided with a sliding aid 11 and a limiting part 12. The sliding aid 11 is fixedly installed on the machine body 1, and a first sliding part 53 is slidably connected to the sliding aid 11. The limiting part 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding aid 11, and the first sliding part 53 abuts against the limiting part 12. The design of the sliding aid 11 and the limiting part 12 can ensure the smoothness and stability of the first sliding part 53 during the sliding process, while preventing it from exceeding the predetermined stroke and ensuring the safety of the system. Similarly, the lifting bucket support 41 is also provided with a sliding aid 11, and a second sliding part is slidably connected to the sliding aid 11.

[0042] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, two sets of connectors 5 are provided, and the two sets of connectors 5 are installed on both sides of the lifting bucket support 41 and located below the lifting bucket support 41. The first linkage part 51 is specifically a first linkage plate, the second linkage part 52 is specifically a second linkage plate, the first sliding part 53 is specifically a first hinge slider, the second sliding part is specifically a second hinge slider, the sliding aid part 11 is specifically a slide rail, and the limiting part 12 is specifically a limiting block, which is fixed to one end of the slide rail.

[0043] Specifically, the breaking assembly 3 includes an insert 31 and a fixing member 32. One end of the fixing member 32 passes through the bracket 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bracket 2. One end of the insert 31 passes through the fixing member 32. The function of the fixing member 32 is to firmly fix the insert 31 to the bracket 2 to ensure stability during the breaking process.

[0044] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the insert 31 is specifically an insert tube, and the end of the insert tube that is inserted into the seal of the water bucket has a beveled end. In other embodiments, the design of the insert 31 can be adjusted according to different types of water bucket seals, such as a sharp conical head or a straight blade, to adapt to different opening requirements. The fixing member 32 is specifically a fixing tube. Specifically, the fixing member 32 has a protruding stop 320 that is fixedly connected to the bracket 2. The stop 320 is specifically a baffle plate, which is integrally formed with the fixing tube. The design of the stop 320 can increase the contact area between the fixing member 32 and the bracket 2, improve the reliability of the fixation, and prevent loosening after long-term use.

[0045] Specifically, the insert 31 has a force-reducing part 310 protruding from its center, and the force-reducing part 310 is fixedly connected to the bracket 2. The design of the force-reducing part 310 can buffer the insert 31 when it is subjected to large resistance, reduce the wear of the insert 31, and extend its service life. In this embodiment, the force-reducing part 310 is specifically a force-reducing plate.

[0046] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The electric hydraulic lever drives the connecting piece 5, causing the bucket-lifting support piece 41 to slide up and down along the machine body 1, thereby bringing the water bucket closer to the breaking assembly 3. When the water bucket reaches the predetermined position, the insert 31 quickly penetrates the water bucket seal, completing the breaking action. Subsequently, the electric hydraulic lever reverses its direction, causing the bucket-lifting support piece 41 to descend and disengage from the breaking assembly 3, ultimately removing the empty bucket from the water dispenser. This process is fully automated, reducing human intervention, improving breaking efficiency and safety, and avoiding the risk of secondary contamination.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that a self-cleaning module is added to the break assembly 3, which is used to clean and disinfect the break assembly 3 before and after each break, thereby further improving the safety of water quality.

[0049] Specifically, the self-cleaning module includes a nozzle, a storage tank, a pump, and a controller. The nozzle is mounted on a bracket 2 near the breach assembly 3, allowing for immediate spraying of disinfectant after the breach is completed, fully covering the insert 31. The storage tank stores the disinfectant, typically a food-grade disinfectant to ensure it is harmless to humans. The pump delivers the disinfectant from the storage tank to the nozzle, while the controller manages the nozzle's operating time according to a preset program, ensuring timely disinfection after each breach.

[0050] Specifically, to enhance the disinfection effect, in other embodiments, ultraviolet lamps can be added around the perforation assembly 3 to further eliminate residual bacteria using the bactericidal effect of ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet lamps can be turned on at regular intervals via a controller to ensure thorough disinfection after each perforation.

[0051] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: In addition to achieving automated rupture function, a self-cleaning module is added to ensure that the rupture component 3 is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before and after each rupture, further improving water quality safety. Users do not need to worry about the risk of secondary pollution caused by manual operation, greatly improving the user experience and meeting public health requirements.

[0052] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and should all be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
