[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0028] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0029] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this utility model provides a gas cylinder fixing device, including: a fixing device body 100, which includes a pressing cap 1, a gas guide rod 2, and a fixing cap 3. The gas guide rod 2 is installed at the lower end of the pressing cap 1, and a pressing inner rod 11 is installed inside the pressing cap 1. The fixing cap 3 is installed at the bottom of the gas guide rod 2, and the gas guide rod 2 is movably installed on the gas cylinder box 301 of the water dispenser 300. A through hole 302 is opened on the gas cylinder box 301, so that after the fixing device body 100 is installed on the gas cylinder box 301, the fixing cap 3 extends downward through the through hole 302. Then, the user can install and connect the upper end of the gas cylinder 200 into the fixing cap 3. Furthermore, since the gas guide rod 2 is movable, the user can first swing the fixing cap 3 outward, and then the fixing cap 3 will be slightly tilted outward, so that the fixing cap 3 swings from the first position (vertical state) to the second position (tilted state). In this way, the user can also install the gas cylinder 200 into the fixing cap 3 at a slightly tilted position, without being restricted by the space of the gas cylinder box 301. This better achieves the installation and fixation of the gas cylinder 200, and also facilitates subsequent disassembly, avoiding carbon dioxide leakage and waste.

[0030] Furthermore, a top core rod 111 is provided at the lower end of the inner pressing rod 11, and a sealing groove 12 is provided on the inner pressing rod 11. A third sealing ring 13 is installed in the sealing groove 12, so that the inner pressing rod 11 has a sealing effect in the pressing cap 1.

[0031] Furthermore, two fixing seats 4 are installed on the gas cylinder box 301. The two fixing seats 4 can support the air guide rod 2, and the air guide rod 2 can swing movably on the two fixing seats 4, thereby causing the fixing cap 3 to tilt outward, which facilitates the installation of the gas cylinder 200. Furthermore, a fixing plate 41 is installed on the fixing seat 4. The fixing plate 41 cooperates with the fixing seat 4 to limit the range of motion of the air guide rod 2. Moreover, a second through hole 42 corresponding to the pressing cap 1 is opened on the fixing plate 41. Thus, the pressing cap 1 passes through the second through hole 42 and corresponds to the lower part of the starting device 500. Thus, the starting device 500 can press down the inner rod 11, and then press the inner rod 11 to open the valve on the gas cylinder 200. The carbon dioxide gas in the gas cylinder 200 is supplied into the bubble container 400 through the fixing cap 3 and the air guide rod 2 to form sparkling water.

[0032] Furthermore, a U-shaped groove 43 corresponding to the air guide rod 2 is provided on the fixed base 4, and the two ends of the air guide rod 2 are fixed in the U-shaped groove 43. Fixing cylinders 44 can be installed on both sides of the fixed base 4, and the fixing plate 41 can be fixed to the fixing cylinder 44 by multiple screws. Furthermore, multiple inclined support plates 441 are installed on the outer wall of the fixing cylinder 44 to increase the strength of the fixing cylinder 44 and prevent tilting.

[0033] Furthermore, an air guide hole 21 is provided at one end of the air guide rod 2. The air guide rod 2 extends into the interior through the air guide hole 21 and communicates with the fixing cap 3. When the gas cylinder 200 releases carbon dioxide, it is pressed outward into the bubble container 400 through the fixing cap 3 and the air guide hole 21 to form sparkling water.

[0034] Furthermore, a handle 30 is installed on one side of the fixing cap 3. The handle 30 is curved, so the user can hold the handle 30 with one hand and swing the fixing cap 3 outwards; the other hand can hold the gas cylinder 200, rotate the gas cylinder 200 and screw it onto the fixing cap 3, thus increasing the stability of the fixing cap 3 during installation. Furthermore, a sealing fixing plate 31 is installed inside the fixing cap 3, and a first sealing ring 32 is installed inside the sealing fixing plate 31. When the upper end of the gas cylinder 200 is screwed into the fixing cap 3, it can abut against the first sealing ring 32, thereby achieving a sealed connection between the gas cylinder 200 and the fixing cap 3 and preventing carbon dioxide gas from leaking out.

[0035] Furthermore, a fixing sleeve 22 is installed inside the end of the air guide hole 21, and an air guide tube 221 is installed on the bubble container 400. The upper end of the air guide tube 221 passes through the fixing sleeve 22 and extends to the inner end of the air guide hole 21. A second sealing ring 222 is also installed at the inner end of the fixing sleeve 22. In this way, the air guide tube 221 is fixed by the fixing sleeve 22 to prevent the air guide tube 221 from loosening inside the air guide hole 21 and causing carbon dioxide gas leakage.

[0036] Furthermore, multiple clamping holes 23 are provided at one end of the air guide rod 2, and a fixing clamp 24 can be inserted into the clamping hole 23. Correspondingly, a circumferential clamping groove 220 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing sleeve 22, so that the fixing clamp 24 can be fixed downward in the circumferential clamping groove 220 and continue to extend downward out of the clamping hole 23. In this way, the fixing clamp 24 can fix and hold the fixing sleeve 22, which increases the sealing and fixing of the air guide tube 221 by the fixing sleeve 22.

[0037] Furthermore, a limiting mechanism 5 is installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 41. Under the action of the limiting mechanism 5, both ends of the air guide rod 2 are evenly fixed by the fixing plate 41. When the user swings the fixing cap 3 outward, the air guide rod 2 acts as a pivot, causing the fixing cap 3 to swing from the first position to the second position. Then, the limiting mechanism 5 abuts against the air guide rod 2, and the air guide rod 2 can be kept in the first position or the second position, making it convenient for the user to install the gas cylinder 200 into the fixing cap 3.

[0038] Furthermore, the aforementioned limiting mechanism 5 includes a limiting spring 51 and a limiting ball 52. Specifically, a spring hole 45 is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate 41, and the limiting spring 51 is installed in the spring hole 45. The limiting ball 52 is installed at the bottom of the limiting spring 51. The limiting spring 51 compresses the limiting ball 52, so that the limiting ball 52 can abut against the air guide rod 2. Under the action of the limiting mechanism 5, both ends of the air guide rod 2 are evenly fixed by the fixing plate 41, and the air guide rod 2 can be kept in the first position or the second position, which makes it convenient for the user to install the gas cylinder 200 into the fixing cap 3.

[0039] Furthermore, multiple ball grooves 25 are provided on the outer wall of the air guide rod 2, that is, each of the two ends of the air guide rod 2 has two ball grooves 25, so that the aforementioned limiting ball 52 can be located in the ball groove 25. This can prevent the limiting ball 52 from falling off the air guide rod 2. When the limiting ball 52 is located in the two ball grooves 25 respectively, the fixing cap 3 can be kept in the first position or the second position, making it convenient for the user to install the gas cylinder 200 into the fixing cap 3.
