TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a self-adaptive bucket structure for a water outlet of a water dispenser. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most of the water dispensers on the market are equipped with a bucket of water as a water source supply, and this water supply method is widely welcomed due to its convenience. However, in actual use, it is found that the traditional water dispenser does not take effective sealing measures when extracting the bucket of water, so that dust, microorganisms and even small reptiles in the air can easily enter the water through these open interfaces, seriously affecting the safety and hygiene of drinking water. In addition, due to long-term exposure, such open design is also prone to bacterial growth, further increasing the health risk.

[0003] Some existing solutions: for example, increase the filter screen or simple dust cover to reduce the opportunity of external pollutants intrusion. But such methods are often difficult to completely close the water extraction hole, and with the increase of use time, the filter screen may be clogged and need to be cleaned and maintained regularly, increasing the burden of users; another common practice is to install a rubber ring or other material gasket on the bucket, trying to achieve a certain degree of airtightness through physical extrusion, but this method depends on precise pressure control, and once the pressure is not suitable, it cannot achieve the ideal plugging effect, and the compatibility of different specifications and sizes of water buckets is poor, limiting its application range. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the existing water dispenser water outlet basically does not take protective measures, the gap exists in the opening through which the bucket water supply hose enters, and external reptile organisms or bacteria can enter the bucket of water, and the health is hidden, the present application provides a self-adaptive bucket structure for a water outlet of a water dispenser.

[0005] The present application provides a self-adaptive bucket structure for a water outlet of a water dispenser, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A self-adaptive bucket structure for a water outlet of a water dispenser, comprising a casing, an adaptive component that adapts to the size of the water outlet, and a liquid extraction component that extracts liquid, the adaptive component and the liquid extraction component are respectively installed in the casing, and the liquid extraction component is located above the adaptive component.

[0007] By adopting the technical scheme, the self-adaptive sealing function of the water outlet of the water dispenser is realized. Specifically, the adaptive assembly can automatically adjust to adapt to water outlets of different diameters, ensuring effective clamping and sealing of the water outlet. The liquid pumping assembly is located above the adaptive assembly, ensuring stability during the pumping process and avoiding the pollution risk caused by the traditional open design. The scheme effectively solves the hygiene hidden danger problem of the existing water dispenser water outlet, improving the safety and reliability of drinking water.

[0008] Preferably, the shell has a first shell body and a second shell body, one end of the second shell body being rotatably connected to the first shell body, and the adaptive assembly being installed in the second shell body.

[0009] By adopting the technical scheme, the shell is divided into a first shell body and a second shell body, one end of the second shell body being rotatably connected to the first shell body, so that the adaptive assembly can be installed in the second shell body.

[0011] By adopting the technical scheme, the clamping piece can slide on the support and be driven by the elastic polymer piece to clamp the water bucket opening. This way can ensure that the adaptive assembly can automatically adjust and tightly fit according to water bucket openings of different sizes, thereby effectively preventing dust, microorganisms and other pollutants from the outside from entering the water quality, improving the hygiene safety of the water dispenser.

Meanwhile, one end of the stopper is abutted against the aggregation piece, which helps to maintain the elastic state of the aggregation piece, so that the lock portion can always tightly fit the water port of the barrel water under the action of the aggregation piece, thereby improving the sealing performance and avoiding the entry of external pollutants into the water quality.

[0016] Preferably, the stopper and the second shell are connected through a fixing piece, the fixing piece passes through the stopper, the aggregation piece and the support in sequence, and is rotatably connected with the stopper, the aggregation piece and the support respectively.

[0017] By adopting the above technical scheme, the design of the fixing piece also ensures the stability of the whole structure, avoids loosening or failure caused by external force during use, and enhances the reliability and service life of the system.
