DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to make a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplicity, the description of a particular example in the following text will be described. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to the numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and it does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings being discussed.

[0043] For the convenience of description, spatial relative terms can be used in the text to describe the relative position relationship or movement condition of one element or feature with respect to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "internal", "external", "inboard", "outboard", "under", "below", "on", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped over or the posture is changed or the movement state is changed, the directional indications will also change accordingly, for example: the element described as "under" or "below" other elements or features will be oriented as "above" or "above" other elements or features. Therefore, the example term "below" can include both the up and down positions. The device can be additionally oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative relationship descriptors used in the text are interpreted accordingly.

[0044] In order to solve the technical problem that the boiling water system and the cold boiled water system are independent in the prior art, the application provides a heating mechanism which can realize the effect of small occupied space.

[0045] The first aspect, Figures 1 to 4 The heating mechanism provided by the application comprises a heating plate 1, a shell 2, a pipeline 3 and a connecting assembly 4. The heating plate 1 has a heating end face 11a. The shell 2 is arranged on the heating end face 11a. The shell 2 and the heating end face 11a jointly form a cavity 21a. One side of the cavity 21a is provided with a heat exchange part 22a. The heat exchange part 22a is provided with a water inlet 23a which is in communication with the cavity 21a. The side of the cavity 21a which is away from the heat exchange part 22a is provided with a water outlet 24a which is in communication with the cavity 21a. The pipeline 3 is arranged in the cavity 21a. One end of the pipeline 3 protrudes from the heat exchange part 22a and is in communication with the heat exchange part 22a. The other end of the pipeline 3 protrudes from the shell 2 and is on the same side as the water outlet 24a. The connecting assembly 4 is arranged between the water outlet 24a and the pipeline 3. One end of the connecting assembly 4 is in communication with the water outlet 24a. The other end of the connecting assembly 4 is in communication with the end of the pipeline 3 which protrudes from the heat exchange part 22a.

[0046] It can be understood that the cavity 21a is formed by the shell 2 and the heating end face 11a, so that the cavity 21a forms a channel for heating cold water. After the cold water enters the cavity 21a from the water inlet 23a, the heating end face 11a directly heats the cold water, so that the temperature of the cold water rapidly rises until it boils to become boiling water. The pipeline 3 becomes a channel for changing the boiling water into cold boiled water. The connecting assembly 4 is arranged between the end of the pipeline 3 which protrudes from the heat exchange part 22a and the water outlet 24a. When the user needs cold boiled water, the hot water in the cavity 21a can be controlled to flow to the pipeline 3 through the connecting assembly 4. When the hot water reaches the heat exchange part 22a, it exchanges heat with the cold water which enters the cavity 21a from the water inlet 23a. At this time, the temperature of the water which should be boiling water rapidly decreases. In this way, cold boiled water is formed. In this way, the problem that the boiling water system and the cold boiled water system are independent in the prior art is solved. The mechanism has the advantage that it can meet the user's use requirements while occupying less space.

[0047] It should be noted that the whole change process of the water temperature is that the cold water flows into the cavity 21a from the water inlet 23a. In the cavity 21a, the water temperature will be higher as it is closer to the water outlet 24a until it reaches 100 DEG C to become boiling water. At this time, if the user needs to use boiling water, the user can directly take the boiling water from the water outlet 24a. If the user needs to use cold boiled water, the boiling water which flows out of the water outlet 24a will flow into the pipeline 3 through the connecting assembly 4 to the heat exchange part 22a and exchange heat with the cold water which is also at this position. At this time, the water temperature will continuously decrease as it exchanges heat with the cold water until it approaches the position of the water outlet 24a. The water temperature will be between 30 DEG C and 40 DEG C. In this way, the boiling water is converted into cold boiled water.

[0048] As Figure 2 shown in the technical scheme of the embodiment, the shell 2 comprises a plurality of curved portions 25, which are connected in sequence.

[0049] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown in the technical scheme of the embodiment, the curved portion 25 is convex towards the direction away from the heating end face 11a so as to enclose the cavity 21a together with the heating end face 11a.

[0050] It can be understood that the curved portions 25 connected in sequence make the shell 2 become a shape of winding spiral, so that the cavity 21a becomes a plurality of spaces communicating with each other, when the water in the cavity 21a starts to flow towards the water outlet 24a, the water temperature of the water closer to the water outlet 24a is higher, until the water in the same space as the water outlet 24a becomes boiling water, and meanwhile, the length of the heat exchange portion 22a is also extended, so that the boiling water and the cold water can fully exchange heat.

[0051] As Figures 1 to 3 shown in the technical scheme of the embodiment, the shell 2 is provided with a sealing portion 26, which is circumferentially arranged at the edge of the shell 2 and is seamlessly connected with the shell 2.

[0052] It can be understood that the sealing portion 26 makes the cavity 21a completely sealed, thereby enhancing the heating effect of the heating plate 1.

[0053] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown in the technical scheme of the embodiment, the pipeline 3 comprises a water inlet pipe portion 31, an exchange pipe portion 32 and a water outlet pipe portion 33; the water inlet pipe portion 31 is convexly arranged at the heat exchange portion 22a; one end of the water inlet pipe portion 31 is communicated with the heat exchange portion 22a, and the other end is connected with the connecting assembly 4; the exchange pipe portion 32 is arranged in the cavity 21a and is connected with one end of the water inlet pipe portion 31 away from the connecting assembly 4; the water outlet pipe portion 33 is convexly arranged at the shell 2; one end of the water outlet pipe portion 33 is communicated with the exchange pipe portion 32.

[0054] It can be understood that the boiling water flows out of the water outlet 24a, flows into the water inlet pipe portion 31 through the connecting assembly 4, exchanges heat with the cold water flowing into the cavity 21a from the water inlet 23a in the water inlet pipe portion 31, so that the temperature of the boiling water decreases, and then flows into the exchange pipe portion 32, so at this time, the cold water continuously flows into the cavity 21a from the water inlet 23a, so that the temperature of the boiling water in the pipeline 3 decreases at first and then increases as it is closer to the water outlet pipe portion 33.

[0055] As Figure 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the exchange tube section 32 includes a plurality of bent tubes 321, which are connected in sequence; the shape of the exchange tube section 32 is consistent with the shape of the housing 2.

[0056] Understandably, the curved pipe 321 allows the boiling water ample time to cool down, and then reheats the cooled boiling water to become cooled boiled water.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the connecting component 4 includes: a first connecting pipe 41, a three-way valve 42, and a second connecting pipe 43; one end of the first connecting pipe 41 is connected to the water outlet 24a; the three-way valve 42 has a first connecting part, a second connecting part, and a third connecting part; the first connecting part is sleeved on the other end of the first connecting pipe 41; the second connecting pipe 43 is disposed between the three-way valve 42 and the water inlet pipe 31, with one end of the second connecting pipe 43 inserted into the second connecting part and the other end sleeved on the water inlet pipe 31.

[0058] It is understandable that the first connecting pipe 41, the three-way valve 42, and the second connecting pipe 43 are connected to each other so that boiling water can be obtained when needed, and cooled boiled water can be obtained when needed.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the technical solution of this embodiment also includes a water control component 5, one side of which is connected to the third connecting part; the other side is connected to the water outlet pipe part 33.

[0060] Understandably, the design of water control component 5 makes it more convenient for users to obtain either boiled water or cooled boiled water.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the water control component 5 includes: a third connecting pipe 51, a mixing valve 52, and a fourth connecting pipe 53; one end of the third connecting pipe 51 is inserted into the third connecting part; the mixing valve 52 is connected to the other end of the third connecting pipe 51; one end of the fourth connecting pipe 53 is connected to the water outlet pipe 33, and the other end is connected to the mixing valve 52.

[0062] Understandably, the mixing valve 52 allows you to choose between boiling water and cooled boiled water.

[0063] Secondly, this application also provides a water purifier, including a water purifier body and the heating mechanism described above. The specific structure of the heating mechanism is as described in the above embodiments.
