Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a water receiving box and a water dispenser. Background Technology
[0002] Water dispensers typically have a water collection box below the water inlet, consisting of a box body and a lid. The box body has a receiving cavity, and the lid has a perforation. The receiving cavity is used to collect liquid dripping from the water inlet, which flows into the receiving cavity through the perforation. However, because the water level in this type of water collection box is difficult to observe visually, the water needs to be emptied periodically to prevent overflow from the receiving cavity, making the process cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the cumbersome operation caused by the need to empty the water in the water box from time to time in the prior art, and to provide a water box and water dispenser.
[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:
[0005] A water receiving box includes a box body and a box lid. The box body has a receiving cavity with an opening at the top. The box lid covers the opening and has a through hole on its upper surface. The receiving cavity communicates with the outside through the through hole. The water receiving box also includes a buoyancy handle. The box lid has a through hole, and the buoyancy handle is installed on the box lid through the through hole. The lower end of the buoyancy handle is located in the receiving cavity, and the upper end of the buoyancy handle passes through the through hole. The buoyancy handle can be raised within the through hole under the buoyancy of the water in the receiving cavity.
[0006] In this design, the water collection box features a buoyancy handle on its lid. When the box is filled with water, the handle rises due to buoyancy, allowing users to easily gauge the amount of water inside by observing the handle's height. This helps users know when to empty the box, eliminating the need for frequent emptying to prevent overflow. Furthermore, the handle allows for easy removal of the lid without direct manual contact, preventing hand contamination and improving the user experience.
[0007] In order for the buoyancy handle to move up and down, the density of the buoyancy handle is less than the density of water.
[0008] Preferably, the buoyancy handle is a U-shaped frame, the number of the through holes is two, the two vertical bars of the U-shaped frame are respectively inserted through the two through holes, and the two horizontal bars of the U-shaped frame are respectively located on both sides of the box cover.
[0009] In this design, the crossbar located below the lid can be submerged in water to provide buoyancy for the buoyancy handle, while the crossbar located above the lid makes it easy for the user to pick up the lid. By designing the buoyancy handle as a U-shaped frame structure, it is convenient to raise and lower the buoyancy handle, and also convenient for the user to pick up the lid via the crossbar on the upper surface.
[0010] Preferably, the buoyancy handle is provided with a scale along the height direction.
[0011] In this solution, a scale is installed on the buoyancy handle. Users can accurately know the amount of water in the box by observing the height the scale is raised, providing a basis for users to decide when to clean the water collection box.
[0012] Preferably, the through hole includes an elongated hole, and the number of the elongated holes is multiple, and the multiple elongated holes are parallel to each other and arranged along a first direction;
[0013] And / or, the through hole includes a square hole, which is located in the middle of the lid and corresponds to the water inlet of the water dispenser.
[0014] In this design, multiple elongated holes are provided on the lid to facilitate the rapid flow of liquid dripping from the inlet into the container cavity of the box, preventing overflow.
[0015] A square hole is provided in the center of the lid, which makes it easy for users to quickly pour water from the cup into the water container through the hole, and also makes it easy to pick up the lid of the water container by simply holding the hole with their fingers.
[0016] Preferably, the water receiving box further includes a partition plate, which is installed in the receiving cavity of the box body, and the partition plate is provided with a flow guide hole.
[0017] In this design, a partition divides the receiving cavity into two areas, and a flow channel connects the two areas. When cleaning the water collection box, the partition slows the water flow, prevents wastewater from splashing out, and facilitates cleaning.
[0018] Preferably, there are multiple partitions, which are arranged in parallel or intersecting directions in the receiving cavity.
[0019] In this design, multiple partitions are used to divide the receiving cavity into multiple areas, and the flow guide holes on the partitions connect the multiple areas. When moving the water receiving box, the multiple partitions can slow down the water flow rate, prevent sewage from splashing out, and improve the splash-proof effect.
[0020] Preferably, handles are provided at both ends of the box.
[0021] In this design, handles at both ends of the box allow users to easily hold and move it with both hands.
[0022] Preferably, the handle includes a fixed part, a telescopic part, and a pull ring. The fixed part is connected to the housing, and the two ends of the telescopic part are respectively connected to the fixed part and the pull ring. The telescopic part is telescopic.
[0023] In this design, the pull ring allows users to easily insert their fingers, preventing it from slipping out of their hands. The telescopic part is retractable, allowing the pull ring to retract when not in use, thus lowering its height and preventing it from interfering with the user's water dispensing. When removing the container, the extension lever extends for easy gripping of the pull ring.
[0024] Preferably, the fixing part can rotate at a preset angle, and the fixing part drives the telescopic part and the pull ring to rotate synchronously, so as to reduce the height of the pull ring.
[0025] In this design, when the container is not in use, the pull ring can be lowered by rotating the fixing part to conceal it and facilitate water filling. When the container is being taken out, the pull ring can be raised by rotating the fixing part to make it easier for the user to hold it.
[0026] A water dispenser comprising a water collection box as described above.
[0027] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily to obtain various preferred embodiments of this utility model.
[0028] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows: By installing a buoyancy handle on the lid of the water receiving box, when the box is filled with water, the buoyancy handle rises under the action of the water's buoyancy, allowing the user to easily observe the height of the buoyancy handle to know the amount of water stored in the box. This helps the user know when to empty the water receiving box, eliminating the need for frequent emptying to prevent water from overflowing, thus reducing the number of times the box needs to be emptied. At the same time, the buoyancy handle also allows the lid to be removed without directly touching it, avoiding dirty hands and improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0049] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below by way of embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.
[0050] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a water receiving box, which includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2. The box body 1 has a receiving cavity 11 with an opening at the top. The box cover 2 is placed over the opening. The upper surface of the box cover 2 is provided with a through hole 21. The receiving cavity 11 communicates with the outside through the through hole 21. The water receiving box also includes a buoyancy handle 3. The box cover 2 is provided with a through hole 22. The buoyancy handle 3 is installed on the box cover 2 through the through hole 22. The lower end of the buoyancy handle 3 is located in the receiving cavity 11, and the upper end of the buoyancy handle 3 passes through the through hole 22. The buoyancy handle 3 can be raised in the through hole 22 under the buoyancy of the water in the receiving cavity 11.
[0051] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the water receiving box has a buoyancy handle 3 installed on the lid 2. When the receiving cavity 11 of the box body 1 is filled with water, the buoyancy handle 3 rises under the action of the water's buoyancy, allowing the user to observe the height of the buoyancy handle 3 to know the amount of water stored in the box body 1. This helps the user know when to empty the water receiving box, thus solving the problem of the user frequently emptying the water receiving box to prevent water from overflowing. At the same time, the buoyancy handle 3 also allows the lid 2 to be removed without manually touching the lid 2, avoiding dirty hands and improving the user experience.
[0052] In this embodiment, the density of the buoyancy handle 3 is less than the density of water so that it can move up and down. In other alternative embodiments, the buoyancy handle 3 can also be configured as a hollow structure so that it floats in water.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the buoyancy handle 3 has a U-shaped frame with two through holes 22. Two vertical rods 31 of the U-shaped frame pass through the two through holes 22, and two horizontal rods 32 of the U-shaped frame are located on either side of the lid 2. The horizontal rod 32 located below the lid 2 can be immersed in water to provide buoyancy for the buoyancy handle 3, while the horizontal rod 32 located above the lid 2 makes it easy for the user to grip and retrieve the lid 2.
[0054] In this embodiment, when there is no water in the cavity 11, the crossbar 32 located on the outside of the lid 2 is attached to the upper surface of the lid 2. When there is water in the cavity 11, the crossbar 32 located on the outside of the lid 2 rises and is higher than the surface of the lid 2, so that the user can know the amount of water in the cavity 11 by the height position of the crossbar located on the upper surface of the lid 2.
[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the buoyancy handle 3 is equipped with a scale (not shown in the figure) along the height direction. The user can accurately know the amount of water in the box 1 by raising the scale, so as to decide when to clean the water box.
[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the through hole 21 includes an elongated hole 211. There are multiple elongated holes 211, which are parallel to each other and arranged along the first direction, so that the liquid dripping from the water inlet can quickly flow into the receiving cavity 11 of the box body 1 and prevent overflow.
[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the through hole 21 also includes a square hole 212, which is located in the middle of the lid 2 and corresponds to the water inlet of the water dispenser. This allows users to quickly pour water from their cup into the water container through the square hole 212, and also makes it easy to lift the lid 2 of the water container by holding the square hole 212 with their fingers.
[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water receiving box also includes a partition 4, which is installed in the receiving cavity 11 of the box body 1. The partition 4 is provided with a flow guide hole 41. The partition 4 is used to divide the receiving cavity 11 into two areas, and the flow guide hole 41 connects the two areas. When cleaning the water receiving box, the partition 4 can slow down the water flow rate, prevent sewage from splashing out, and improve the user experience.
[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, there are multiple partitions 4, which are arranged in parallel in the receiving cavity 11. The multiple partitions 4 are used to divide the receiving cavity 11 into multiple areas, and the guide holes 41 on the partitions 4 connect the multiple areas. When the water receiving box is moved, the multiple partitions 4 can slow down the water flow rate, prevent sewage from splashing out, and further improve the anti-splashing effect.
[0060] In another embodiment, multiple partitions are arranged intersectingly in the receiving cavity to further divide the receiving cavity into multiple regions.
[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, handles 12 are provided at both ends of the box body 1. The handles 12 at both ends of the box body 1 make it convenient for users to hold and move the box body 1 with both hands.
[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the handle 12 includes a fixed part 121, a telescopic part 122, and a pull ring 123. The fixed part 121 is connected to the box body 1, and the two ends of the telescopic part 122 are respectively connected to the fixed part 121 and the pull ring 123. The telescopic part 122 is telescopic. The pull ring 123 allows the user to easily insert their fingers, preventing it from slipping out of their hand. The telescopic part 122 is telescopic and can retract when the pull ring 123 is not in use, thereby reducing the height of the pull ring 123 and preventing it from interfering with the user's water intake. When taking out the box body 1, the telescopic lever can extend, making it convenient for the user to grip the pull ring 123.
[0063] In this embodiment, the telescopic part 122 is a telescopic rod, but the telescopic part can also be other components with telescopic functions.
[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing part 121 can rotate at a preset angle. The fixing part 121 drives the telescopic part 122 and the pull ring 123 to rotate synchronously, thereby lowering the height of the pull ring 123. When the box body 1 is not in use, the height of the pull ring 123 can be lowered by rotating the fixing part 121 to hide the pull ring 123 for easy water filling. When the box body 1 is taken out, the height of the pull ring 123 can be raised by rotating the fixing part 121 for easy gripping.
[0065] For example, when the water container is not moved, the fixing part 121 can be rotated 90° forward or backward so that the ring of the pull ring 123 is slightly higher than the lid 2. When taking out the water container, pull the pull ring 123 with your finger to rotate the fixing part 121 90°, raising the pull ring 123 so that your finger can easily pass through the ring of the pull ring 123 to grip it firmly and prevent it from slipping out of your hand.
[0066] This embodiment also discloses a water dispenser, which includes a water collection box as described above. The water collection box has a trapezoidal structure, narrow on one side and wide on the other. The narrow side is close to the main body of the water dispenser, and the wide side is located on the outside, which facilitates the collection of more liquid dripping from the water inlet.
[0067] In the description herein, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.
