Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sparkling water machine technology, and in particular to a multifunctional sparkling water machine. Background Technology

[0002] Sparkling water machines are devices that can convert ordinary water into sparkling water containing carbon dioxide bubbles, and they have gained widespread popularity worldwide.

[0003] Traditional sparkling water machines fall into two categories: one relies solely on electric drive to release carbon dioxide from a cylinder into a water bottle; the other is a mechanical sparkling water machine, which uses a purely mechanical structure to release carbon dioxide from a cylinder into a water bottle. However, both types of sparkling water machines have their advantages and disadvantages: while electric drive offers greater control and precise control over the amount of carbon dioxide released, it cannot be used in the event of a power outage, and its battery life is limited; while mechanical drive, although it does not require electricity, cannot precisely control the amount of carbon dioxide used. Therefore, the purpose of this application is to address one or more of these issues.

[0004] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this application and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art to this application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, this application provides a multifunctional sparkling water machine to solve one of the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is a multi-functional sparkling water machine, comprising: a machine body shell, on which a control board is installed; a water bottle for storing liquid; a gas bottle for storing gas, a top seat installed above the gas bottle, a pressing base movably disposed on the top seat, a gas quantity detection device disposed on the top seat, a pin for releasing gas from the gas bottle disposed on the pressing base, and a contact part fixedly disposed on the pin; a mechanical drive structure mounted on the top seat, the mechanical drive structure being used to drive the pin to release gas from the gas bottle; and an electric drive structure electrically connected to the control board and mounted above the mechanical drive structure, the electric drive structure being used to drive the pin to release gas from the gas bottle.

[0007] In some embodiments, the mechanical drive structure includes a hand lever, a cam, and a rotating part. The hand lever is generally L-shaped and passes through the outer casing of the machine body. The cam and the rotating part are disposed on the end of the hand lever.

[0008] In some embodiments, the cam is fixedly disposed on both sides of the rotating part, and the abutting part is provided with a protrusion that cooperates with the cam. The cam can drive the ejector to release the gas in the gas cylinder when the hand-pressing rod is pressed down.

[0009] In some embodiments, the electric drive structure includes an output section, which is driven by any one of a motor drive, an electric actuator, or an air pump.

[0010] In some embodiments, the rotating part has an oblique connecting hole, and the output part passes through the connecting hole and abuts against the top of the abutting part.

[0011] In some embodiments, the pressure base is elastically disposed on the top seat by a spring.

[0012] In some embodiments, the gas consumption detection device uses any one of gravity detection, pressure detection, or distance detection to detect the gas consumption of the lower pressure base.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: by installing a mechanical drive structure and an electric drive structure, the gas cylinder can be simultaneously driven by both methods to release carbon dioxide into the water bottle, making it more flexible in use; with the gas consumption detection device, users can more intuitively confirm the current gas consumption level; and with the connection part, the existence of the connection hole prevents the mechanical drive structure and the electric drive structure from interfering with each other and causing damage to the internal structure.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, this application provides a multifunctional sparkling water machine, mainly comprising: a machine body shell 1, on which a control board 11 is mounted; a water bottle 2 for storing liquid; a gas cylinder 3 for storing gas, with a top seat 31 mounted above the gas cylinder 3, a pressing base 32 movably disposed on the top seat 31, a gas quantity detection device 35 disposed on the top seat 31, and a pin 321 capable of releasing gas from the gas cylinder 3 disposed on the pressing base 32, with a contact portion 322 fixedly disposed on the pin 321; a mechanical drive structure 33 mounted on the top seat 31, the mechanical drive structure 33 being used to drive the pin 321 to release gas from the gas cylinder 3; and an electric drive structure 34 electrically connected to the control board 11 and mounted above the mechanical drive structure 33, the electric drive structure 34 being used to drive the pin 321 to release gas from the gas cylinder 3.

[0021] Specifically, the ejector pin 321 is built into the pressure base 32. When the mechanical drive structure 33 and the electric drive structure 34 drive the ejector pin 321, the ejector pin 321 and the pressure base 32 will move downward at the same time to release the gas in the gas cylinder 3. This allows the gas consumption detection device 35 to determine the gas consumption based on the degree of pressure of the pressure base 32.

[0022] The following will continue to describe some preferred / improved embodiments based on the above embodiments. Any one of the following embodiments can be selected, or multiple embodiments can be combined.

[0023] Reference Figure 3As shown, the mechanical drive structure 33 includes a hand lever 331, a cam 332, and a rotating part 333. The hand lever 331 is generally L-shaped and passes through the outer casing 1 of the machine body. The cam 332 and the rotating part 333 are disposed on the end of the hand lever 331. The hand lever 331 provides a fulcrum for mechanical drive, while the cam 332 applies downward pressure when the hand lever 331 rotates, causing the ejector pin 321 and the lower pressure base 32 to feed downward. The rotating part 333 provides a drive channel or obstruction for the electric drive device.

[0024] Specifically, in order for the cam 332 to drive the ejector pin 321 and the pressing base 32 to feed downward, the cam 332 is fixedly disposed on both sides of the rotating part 333, and the abutting part 322 is provided with a protrusion that cooperates with the cam 332. The cam 332 can drive the ejector pin 321 to release the gas in the gas cylinder 3 when the hand lever 331 is pressed down.

[0025] Preferably, the electric drive structure 34 includes an output section 341, which is driven by any one of a motor drive, an electric push rod, or a cylinder. Specifically, in this embodiment, an electric push rod is used to control the feed level, and the feed depth can be controlled by the control board 11.

[0026] Specifically, the rotating part 333 has an oblique connecting hole 3331, and the output part 341 passes through the connecting hole 3331 and abuts against the top of the abutting part 322. When the mechanical drive structure 33 starts to move, the oblique connecting hole 3331 can still accommodate the output part 341 during the rotation of the rotating part 333, and the starting of the electric drive device 34 and the mechanical drive device 33 do not interfere with each other.

[0027] Specifically, in order to enable the pressing base 32 to be reset in time, the pressing base 32 is elastically mounted on the top seat 31 by a spring 323.

[0028] Preferably, the gas consumption detection device 35 uses any one of gravity detection, pressure detection, or distance detection to detect the gas consumption of the lower pressure base 32, and the detected gas consumption can be fed back to the control board 11 or the outer casing 1.

[0029] The various embodiments of this application have now been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of this application, some details known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. The foregoing embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
