[0029] Before explaining the vehicle-mounted drinking water device and vehicle provided in the embodiments of this application, the application scenarios of the vehicle-mounted drinking water device and vehicle provided in the embodiments of this application will be specifically described:

[0030] Most passenger vehicles do not have drinking water facilities, or only larger vehicles such as motorhomes or some passenger vehicles have refrigerators with hot and cold water to meet the needs of passengers or drivers. Some users also modify smaller passenger vehicles to add drinking water facilities.

[0031] However, among the above methods, the hot and cold refrigerator can only heat the whole bottle of water, and the heating speed is not fast enough, and the temperature cannot be adjusted, making it inconvenient to use; while the modified water dispenser usually takes up a lot of space and poses certain safety hazards. At the same time, the water outlet of the water dispenser is usually exposed, making it easy to be contaminated and breed bacteria during use, and it cannot meet the needs of safe drinking water.

[0032] Therefore, this application provides a vehicle-mounted drinking water device and a vehicle. The vehicle-mounted drinking water device and vehicle provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device includes a device body 1, a water outlet 2, and a heating element 3. The device body 1 is adapted to be connected to the vehicle body, the water outlet 2 is connected to the device body 1, and the water outlet 2 has a water outlet 21. The heating element 3 is disposed on the device body 1 and has a heating channel 31. One end of the heating channel 31 is connected to the water outlet 21, and the other end is adapted to be connected to a water storage device 4. The heating element 3 is used to heat the water flowing through the heating channel 31. The device body 1 has a first receiving cavity 11, and the water outlet 2 can move relative to the device body 1 to switch between a receiving state and an unfolded state. In the receiving state, the water outlet 2 is housed in the first receiving cavity 11. In the unfolded state, the water outlet 2 extends at least partially out of the first receiving cavity 11 so that the water outlet 21 is exposed outside the device body 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, when needed, the water outlet 2 extends from the first receiving cavity 11, exposing the water outlet 21 to the device body 1, allowing the user to collect water normally. After use, the water outlet 2 is stored in the first receiving cavity 11, preventing the water outlet 21 from being contaminated and breeding bacteria, thus meeting the need for safe drinking water and making reasonable use of the space inside the vehicle. At the same time, the heating element 3 heats the drinking water in the heating channel 31 instantly, allowing the user to drink hot water at any time without waiting, improving the user's convenience. Compared with related technologies such as refrigerators or modified drinking water devices, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device of this application occupies less space.

[0035] In practical applications, the device body 1 is suitable for connection with the vehicle body. The device body 1 can be installed on the seat, in the armrest box, or in the center console. Of course, the device body 1 can also be installed in a part of the vehicle body that does not affect normal use. Those skilled in the art can make the settings according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0036] Preferably, the device body 1 is installed on the back of the seat, and an installation groove is provided on the back of the seat. The device body 1 is detachably connected to the bottom of the installation groove, thereby making reasonable use of the space in the cabin. At the same time, since the water outlet 2 can be housed in the first storage cavity 11 on the device body 1, it will not affect the normal riding experience of passengers and improve the user's convenience.

[0037] It should be explained that the water outlet 2 is connected to the device body 1, and the water outlet 2 can move relative to the device body 1 to switch between a retracted state and an unfolded state. Specifically, the water outlet 2 can be rotatably connected to the device body 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the water outlet 2 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the device body 1 is provided with a rotating hole. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the rotating hole, so that the water outlet 2 can rotate relative to the device body 1, thereby switching the water outlet 2 between a retracted state and an unfolded state according to usage requirements. Alternatively, the water outlet 2 can be slidably connected to the device body 1. When needed, the water outlet 2 can slide relative to the device body 1 to expose the water outlet 21. After use, the water outlet 2 can slide relative to the device body 1 to be housed in the first storage cavity 11. Of course, other forms of movable connection are also possible, as long as the water outlet 2 can move relative to the device body 1 to switch between a retracted state and an unfolded state. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it in this regard.

[0038] It should be explained that the location of the first receiving cavity 11 corresponds to the location of the water outlet 2, so that the water outlet 2 can be housed in the first receiving cavity 11. For example, the first receiving cavity 11 is provided on the outside of the device body 1, and the water outlet 2 is rotatably connected to the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 11. When needed, the water outlet 2 rotates to expose the water outlet 21 to the device body; after use, the water outlet 2 is rotated to house it in the first receiving cavity 11.

[0039] Understandably, the heating element 3 can be at least one of a ceramic heating tube, an eddy current heating assembly, a microwave-infrared composite heating tube, etc., and those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs. This application does not limit this choice. Specifically, the heating element 3 can be disposed inside the device body 1 to protect the heating element 3 and prevent burns to passengers. Alternatively, it can be disposed on the outside of the device body 1. For example, when the device body 1 is disposed on a seat, a groove can be provided on the seat to install the device body 1 in the groove. The heating element 3 is disposed on the outside of the device body 1 and placed in the groove of the seat, which can reduce the volume of the device body 1 and effectively utilize the space in the vehicle cabin.

[0040] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the heating element 3 is provided with a heating channel 31, which can heat the water flowing through the heating channel 31, thereby achieving instant heating. When users need hot water, they can get hot water in a short time without waiting for too long, thus improving the convenience of use.

[0041] In specific applications, such as Figure 3 As shown, the other end of the heating channel 31 is adapted to be connected to the water storage container 4, so that water in the water storage container 4 can be introduced into the heating channel 31 for heating, thereby obtaining hot water; wherein, the water storage container 4 can be a container for storing drinking water, such as a bottled water bottle or a barreled water container, depending on actual needs.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the water outlet 2 includes a water outlet 21 and a water outlet channel 22. One end of the water outlet channel 22 is connected to the heating channel 31, and the other end is connected to the water outlet 21, thereby guiding the heated water in the heating channel 31 to the water outlet 21 so that the user can collect it from the water outlet 21.

[0043] In specific applications, the water outlet channel 22 can be a flexible hose or a water outlet hole provided in the device body 1, etc. Those skilled in the art can make the settings according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device further includes a water inlet 5, which is connected to the device body 1. The water inlet 5 is provided with a water inlet channel 51 and a water inlet 52. One end of the water inlet channel 51 is connected to the heating channel 31, and the other end of the water inlet channel 51 is connected to the water inlet 52. The water inlet 52 is adapted to be connected to an external water storage device 4.

[0045] In this embodiment, one end of the water inlet channel 51 of the water inlet component 5 is connected to the heating channel 31, and the other end is connected to the external water storage component 4 through the water inlet 52, thereby diverting the water in the external water storage component 4 to the heating channel 31 for heating. This makes it easier to arrange the vehicle-mounted drinking water device, make reasonable use of the space in the vehicle cabin, and adapt to different types of water storage components 4, thus improving the adaptability of the vehicle-mounted drinking water device.

[0046] In specific applications, the water inlet channel 51 can be a flexible hose or a water outlet provided in the device body 1, etc. Those skilled in the art can make the configuration according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0047] For example, the water inlet 5 can be a water inlet hose, with the inlet (i.e., the water inlet) placed directly into the water storage 4, and the water in the water storage 4 being diverted to the heating channel 31 by gravity. Alternatively, the water in the water storage 4 can be drawn into the heating channel 31 by a water pump. Those skilled in the art can make the settings according to actual needs, and this application does not limit them.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the device body 1 is further provided with a second receiving cavity 12, and the water inlet 5 can move relative to the device body 1 to switch between a receiving state and an extended state; wherein, when the water inlet 5 is in the receiving state, the water inlet 5 is received in the second receiving cavity 12; when the water inlet 5 is in the extended state, the water inlet 5 extends at least partially out of the second receiving cavity 12 so that the water inlet 52 is exposed outside the device body 1.

[0049] In this embodiment, the water inlet 5 can move relative to the device body 1 to switch between a concealed state and an extended state. When not in use for a long time, the water inlet 5 can be concealed in the second storage cavity 12, so as not to occupy too much space in the cabin and improve the comfort of passengers. When needed, the water inlet 5 extends out of the second storage cavity 12 so that the water inlet 52 is exposed to the device body 1, thereby facilitating communication between the water storage component 4 and the water inlet 52.

[0050] It should be explained that the water inlet component 5 can move relative to the device body 1 to switch between a retracted state and an extended state. Specifically, the water inlet component 5 can be rotatably connected to the device body 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the water inlet 5 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the device body 1 is provided with a rotating hole. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the rotating hole, so that the water inlet 5 can rotate relative to the device body 1, thereby switching the water inlet 5 between a receiving state and an extended state according to usage requirements. Alternatively, the water inlet 5 can be slidably connected to the device body 1. When needed, the water inlet 5 slides relative to the device body 1 to expose the water inlet 52. When not needed, the water inlet 5 slides relative to the device body 1 to be received in the second receiving cavity 12. Of course, other forms of movable connection are also possible, as long as the water inlet 5 can move relative to the device body 1 to switch between a receiving state and an extended state. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it in this regard.

[0051] In specific applications, the first receiving cavity 11 and the second receiving cavity 12 are grooves located at different positions on the surface of the device body 1, and the two grooves correspond to the positions of the water outlet 2 and the water inlet 5, respectively.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, multiple seals are also included. One seal is disposed between the water outlet 2 and the cavity wall of the first receiving cavity 11, and another seal is disposed between the water inlet 5 and the cavity wall of the second receiving cavity 12. This allows the water outlet 2 to be housed in the first receiving cavity 11 and the water inlet 5 to be housed in the second receiving cavity 12. When the water outlet 21 and the water inlet 52 are housed in the second receiving cavity 12, the water outlet 21 and the water inlet 52 are isolated from the outside, reducing the possibility of the water outlet 21 and the water inlet 52 being contaminated and breeding bacteria, and improving the safety of drinking water.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device also includes an adapter (not shown in the figure), which is installed at the water inlet 52 and is adapted to communicate with the water storage component 4.

[0054] In this embodiment, by installing an adapter at the water inlet 52, the water inlet 52 can be connected to different types of water storage devices 4 through the adapter, thereby improving the adaptability and ease of use of the vehicle-mounted drinking water device.

[0055] It should be explained that the water storage device 4 comes in different types, such as bottled water bottles, water barrels, and beverage bottles. The bottle or barrel openings of different types of containers also have different sizes. The adapter can be used to adapt to water storage containers of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability and ease of use of the vehicle-mounted drinking water device.

[0056] Specifically, the adapter can be at least one of threaded adapters, quick-connect adapters, or flange adapters, and those skilled in the art can configure it according to actual needs. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0057] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device further includes a water-drawing component 6. The device body 1 is provided with an installation cavity 13, and the water-drawing component 6 is disposed in the installation cavity 13. One end of the water-drawing component 6 is connected to the heating channel 31, and the other end of the water-drawing component 6 is connected to the water inlet channel 51. The water-drawing component 6 is used to draw water from the water storage component 4 into the heating channel 31.

[0058] In this embodiment, one end of the water-drawing component 6 is connected to the heating channel 31 and the other end is connected to the water inlet channel 51, which makes it easy to draw water from the water storage component 4 into the heating channel 31. Therefore, the position of the water storage component 4 is not restricted, which facilitates the layout of the vehicle-mounted drinking water device and makes more effective use of the interior space of the vehicle cabin.

[0059] In specific applications, the water-drawing component 6 can be at least one of a centrifugal water pump, a vacuum water suction machine, a peristaltic pump, etc. Those skilled in the art can configure it according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0060] Understandably, the water-drawing component 6 can be electrically, pneumatically, or hydraulically driven. Preferably, the water-drawing component 6 is electrically driven, which facilitates connection to the vehicle's power supply for power supply and reduces space occupation.

[0061] In actual use, the water-drawing component 6 is connected to the water inlet channel 51 through a pipeline, and then to the water storage component 4. Thus, the water-drawing component 6 can draw water from the water storage component 4 and input it into the heating channel 31 of the heating component 3 through a pipeline for heating, which improves the convenience of the vehicle-mounted drinking water device.

[0062] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device further includes a sensing element (not shown in the figure) and a control unit 7. The sensing element is disposed in the device body 1 and is used to sense the water temperature in the heating channel 31. The control unit 7 is electrically connected to the sensing element, the water intake element 6 and the heating element 3 respectively, and the control unit 7 is configured to control the operation of the heating element 3 and the water intake element 6 based on the water temperature.

[0063] In this embodiment, the sensor installed in the device body 1 can sense the water temperature in the heating channel 31, so the control unit 7 can control the operation of the heating element 3 and the water intake element 6 based on the water temperature sensed by the sensor, so that the user can get hot water at a suitable temperature and improve the user experience.

[0064] In specific applications, the sensing element is a temperature sensor, which can be at least one of thermocouple sensors, resistance temperature detectors, thermistor sensors, etc. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0065] The control unit 7 can be at least one of a circuit board, a microcontroller, a single-chip microcomputer, etc. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0066] Understandably, the control unit 7 controls the heating element 3 to continue heating or stop heating based on the water temperature in the heating channel 31 sensed by the sensor. At the same time, the control unit 7 can control the water intake element 6 to operate according to the user's instructions to replenish water in the heating channel 31 and prevent the heating element 3 from burning dry.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device further includes a flow control component (not shown in the figure) disposed in the water outlet 2, and the flow control component is used to control the water output of the water outlet 21.

[0068] In this embodiment of the application, by setting flow control components in two types of water outlets, the water output of the water outlet 21 can be controlled, which facilitates the collection of water.

[0069] In specific applications, the flow control component can be a one-way valve, which controls the opening and closing of the outlet 21 manually or electrically.

[0070] Understandably, when the flow control component is an electromagnetic check valve, the flow control component is electrically connected to the control unit 7, so that the control unit 7 controls the water output of the outlet 21 through the flow control component.

[0071] In practical applications, the control unit 7 controls the operation of the heating element 3 based on the water temperature of the heating channel 31 sensed by the sensing element. When the water temperature in the heating channel 31 reaches the preset temperature, the control unit 7 controls the flow control element to open, so that the user can get hot water from the outlet 21. When the water volume in the heating channel 31 is insufficient, the control unit 7 controls the water suction element 6 to operate to replenish the water in the heating channel 31.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device also includes a control panel (not shown in the figure). The control panel is disposed on the device body 1 and is electrically connected to the control unit 7. The control panel is provided with buttons for users to input commands to the control unit 7.

[0073] In this embodiment, a control panel is provided on the device body 1, and the user can input commands to the control unit 7 through the buttons on the control panel to realize functions such as water output and temperature setting.

[0074] In specific applications, the button can be at least one of touch button, press button or toggle button. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, and this application does not limit it.

[0075] The control panel is electrically connected to the control unit 7. Different buttons correspond to different functions of the control unit 7, such as temperature setting, water outlet, and water flow speed at the outlet 21.

[0076] In practical applications, users can set different functions of the vehicle-mounted water dispenser by pressing the buttons. For example, when a user needs to get hot water to take medicine, the user can set the water temperature to any temperature between 35℃ and 45℃ by pressing the buttons. The heating element 3 heats the water in the heating channel 31 in real time. The user presses the water dispensing button and gets hot water from the water outlet 21.

[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device further includes a power supply component 8, which is disposed in the device body 1. The power supply component 8 is adapted to be electrically connected to the vehicle power supply and is used to supply power to the control unit 7 and the heating component 3.

[0078] In this embodiment, the power supply component 8 is connected to the vehicle power supply to supply power to the control unit 7 and the heating component 3, thereby ensuring the normal use of the vehicle-mounted drinking water device. At the same time, it is electrically connected to the vehicle power supply, so no additional power supply is required.

[0079] In specific applications, the power supply component 8 is installed in the device body 1, and its electrical connection wires are all installed in the device body 1, thereby reducing exposure and improving safety and user comfort.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, a vehicle is proposed, including a vehicle body and an on-board drinking water device as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the device body 1 is connected to the vehicle body.

[0081] In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device includes a device body 1, a water outlet 2, and a heating element 3.

The device body 1 has a first receiving cavity 11, and the water outlet 2 can move relative to the device body 1 to switch between a receiving state and an unfolded state. In the receiving state, the water outlet 2 is housed in the first receiving cavity 11. In the unfolded state, the water outlet 2 extends at least partially out of the first receiving cavity 11, so that the water outlet 21 is exposed outside the device body 1. When needed, the water outlet 2 extends from the first receiving cavity 11, exposing the water outlet 21 to the device body 1, allowing the user to collect water normally. After use, the water outlet 2 is stored in the first receiving cavity 11, preventing the water outlet 21 from being contaminated and breeding bacteria, thus meeting the need for safe drinking water and making reasonable use of the space in the vehicle cabin. At the same time, the heating element 3 heats the drinking water in the heating channel 31 instantly, allowing the user to drink hot water at any time without waiting, improving the user's convenience. Compared with related technologies such as refrigerators or modified drinking water devices, the vehicle-mounted drinking water device of this application occupies less space.

[0082] In specific applications, the vehicle can be a motor vehicle, such as a passenger car, a truck, or a derivative thereof; it can also be a special vehicle, such as a tractor, an excavator, a fire truck, or an ambulance; it can also be a water vehicle, such as an amphibious vehicle; or it can be a rail transit vehicle, such as a train, a subway, or a tram. Those skilled in the art can configure it according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle body includes seats, and an onboard drinking water device is mounted on the back of the seats.

[0084] In this embodiment of the application, by installing the vehicle-mounted drinking water device on the back of the seat, the space inside the vehicle cabin is effectively utilized, thereby improving the user experience.

[0085] In practical applications, an installation groove is provided on the back of the seat, and the device body 1 can be detachably connected to the bottom of the installation groove, thereby making reasonable use of the space in the cabin. At the same time, since the water outlet 2 can be housed in the first storage cavity 11 on the device body 1, it will not affect the normal riding experience of passengers and improve the user's convenience.
