[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 The image shows a preferred embodiment of the water dispenser of this utility model. The water dispenser includes a body 1, a water outlet 2, a lifting plate 3, a lifting mechanism 4, a rotating mechanism 5, and a sensor 6.

[0037] The front side of the body 1 has a water receiving cavity 11 for accommodating a water cup, and the bottom of the water receiving cavity 11 is provided with a water receiving box 110 for placing the water cup; the body 1 has a receiving cavity 12 located above the water receiving cavity 11, and a notch 111 communicating with the receiving cavity 12 is opened on the top wall inside the water receiving cavity 11.

[0038] The water outlet 2 is located inside the receiving cavity 12. Specifically, the top of the water outlet 2 has a rotating shaft 21 extending in the front-back direction.

[0039] The lifting plate 3 is horizontally arranged in the accommodating cavity 12. Specifically, the top surface of the lifting plate 3 is provided with two bases 31 arranged one in front of the other and one behind, and the two ends of the aforementioned rotating shaft 21 are respectively rotatably connected to the two bases 31; the lifting plate 3 is provided with a clearance opening 32 to make way for the water outlet 2 at the position directly opposite the water outlet 2.

[0040] The lifting mechanism 4 is an electric push rod, which is installed on the top wall inside the accommodating cavity 12. Its power output end is connected to the top surface of the lifting plate 3 to drive the lifting plate 3 to rise and fall.

[0041] The rotating mechanism 5 includes a driven gear 51, a driving gear 52, and a driving component 53. Specifically, the driven gear 51 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 21; the driving gear 52 meshes with the driven gear 51; the driving component 53 is a motor, mounted on the top surface of the lifting plate 3, and its power output shaft is coaxially connected to the driving gear 52 to drive the driving gear 52 to rotate. When the driving component 53 is activated, it drives the driving gear 52 to rotate. Since the driven gear 51 meshes with the driving gear 52, the driven gear 51 then drives the water outlet 2 to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft 21 and enters and exits the receiving cavity 12 through the notch 111, so that the water dispenser has at least the following two states:

[0042] In the first state, such as Figure 2 As shown, the water outlet 2 is arranged horizontally and is hidden inside the receiving cavity 12;

[0043] In the second state, such as Figure 4 As shown, the water outlet 2 is arranged vertically, and the outlet end of the water outlet 2 is exposed outside the receiving cavity 12 and extends into the water receiving cavity 11.

[0044] There are two sensors 6, which are installed on the left and right side walls inside the water receiving chamber 11, respectively. Specifically, the sensors 6 are laser sensors used to monitor the position of the water cup rim.

[0045] In addition, the water dispenser has a controller, and the sensor 6 and the lifting mechanism 4 are electrically connected to the controller so that the controller can receive the signal collected by the sensor 6 and control the lifting mechanism 4 to drive the lifting plate 3 to rise and fall.

[0046] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0047] (1) Before filling with water, the water dispenser is in its first state, such as Figure 2 As shown, the water outlet 2 is arranged horizontally and is hidden inside the receiving cavity 12;

[0048] (2) When filling with water, place the water cup on the water receiving box 110, press the water dispensing button, and the sensor 6 monitors the position of the cup opening. The controller calculates the required lowering height of the lifting plate 3 through an algorithm and controls the lifting mechanism 4 to drive the lifting plate 3 to descend. Subsequently, the rotating mechanism 5 drives the water outlet 2 to rotate counterclockwise until the water outlet 2 is vertically positioned and its outlet end protrudes from the receiving cavity 12 and extends into the water receiving cavity 11. At this time, if... Figure 4 As shown, the water dispenser is in the second state, with water coming out of the spout 2 to achieve the water receiving function. Since the height of the spout 3 matches the mouth of the water cup, it will not tip over the water cup and will also prevent splashing.

[0049] (3) After the water supply is completed, press the water stop button. The water outlet 2 will stop dispensing water. The rotating mechanism 5 will drive the water outlet 2 to rotate clockwise until the water outlet 2 is horizontally positioned and hidden inside the receiving cavity 12. At this time, if... Figure 2 As shown, the water dispenser returns to the first state. On the one hand, since the water outlet 2 is hidden inside the receiving cavity 12, it can avoid being contaminated by the outside. On the other hand, since the water outlet 2 is retracted, it can prevent residual water from dripping onto the user's hands.
