[0007] The utility model aims at providing an integral type air water generation system, which can realize efficient water production and comprehensive and continuous sterilization of liquid water, and solve the problems and deficiencies of the existing air water generation equipment to some extent.

[0009] The water collection and filtration channel comprises a water collection device, a first valve device, a first water pumping device and a filter device connected in sequence; the water collection device is connected with the evaporative condensation device and used for collecting water generated by the evaporative condensation device; the first valve device has a first water inlet and a second water inlet, and the first water inlet is connected with the water collection device;

[0010] The water storage and sterilization outlet channel includes a water storage device, a second pumping device, a water cooling and / or heating device, and a second valve device connected in sequence; the first pumping device and the second pumping device are used to provide water power for the water supply channel; the water storage device is connected to the filtration device to receive water filtered by the filtration device, and the water storage device is equipped with an ultraviolet sterilization device.

[0011] The second valve device has an inlet, a small circulation return port, and a large circulation return port. The inlet is connected to the outlet of the water cooling and / or heating device, and the small circulation return port is connected to the water storage device. The large circulation return port is connected to the second inlet of the first valve device. When the second valve device switches its inlet to connect to the small circulation return port, the water pumped out of the water storage device returns to the water storage device from the small circulation return sterilization channel. When the second valve device switches its inlet to connect to the large circulation return port, the water pumped out of the water storage device returns to the water storage device from the large circulation return sterilization channel.

[0012] A two-way valve is provided between the water storage device and the water cooling and / or heating device. The water cooling and / or heating device includes an instant cooler and an instant heater. The two-way valve is used to switch between opening to the instant cooler or the instant heater. The instant cooler is a plate-type instant cooler, including a front plate, a back plate, and a refrigerant unit. The refrigerant unit is a pipe extending from the inlet end to the outlet end. Refrigerant flows from the inlet end to the outlet end inside the pipe. The front plate and the back plate are respectively attached to both sides of the pipe. The front plate and the back plate are each provided with an instant cooling water inlet and an instant cooling water outlet. The front plate and the back plate are each provided with a flow channel leading from the instant cooling water inlet to the instant cooling water outlet, and a Tesla valve structure is provided in the flow channel. The path of the flow channel evenly covers the entire front plate and the back plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the second valve device includes two interconnected bidirectional valves; the first bidirectional valve has an inlet, an outlet, and a return port, and the inlet of the first bidirectional valve is connected to the outlet of the water cooling and / or heating device; the second bidirectional valve has an inlet, a small circulation return port, and a large circulation return port, the small circulation return port is connected to the water storage tank, and the large circulation return port is connected to the return port of the first valve device.

[0014] Furthermore, the air-to-water system also has a circulating cleaning channel, specifically as follows: the large circulation return port of the second valve device in the water supply channel is replaced by a pipe and connected to the clean drain port on the air-to-water system, and the clean drain port is connected to the second water inlet of the first valve device through a pipe; at the same time, the second water inlet of the first valve device is replaced by a pipe and connected to an external water inlet on the air-to-water system, and the external water inlet is connected to a cleaning tank located outside the air-to-water system through a pipe; at this time, the first valve device, the first pumping device, the filter device, the water storage device, the second pumping device, the water cooling and / or heating device, the second valve device, the cleaning tank, and the pipes between these devices constitute a circulating cleaning channel.

[0015] Furthermore, the Tesla valve structure in the instant cooler includes multiple direct current channels and vortex channels. One direct current channel and one vortex channel constitute a unit. A junction cavity is provided at the intersection of each direct current channel and vortex channel, and the junction cavity connects to the direct current channel and vortex channel of the next unit.

[0016] Furthermore, the water collection device includes a water collection tray, a water collection tank, and a water pump; the water collection tray is disposed between the evaporator and the water collection tank for collecting water produced by the evaporator, and the lower end face of the water collection tray is provided with a water collection tray outlet, from which water flows into the water collection tank; the water collection tank has an inlet and an outlet, the inlet of the water collection tank corresponding to the outlet of the water collection tray, and a water pump is connected to the outlet of the water collection tank for pumping out the water in the water collection tank.

[0017] Furthermore, the water supply channel with water circulation sterilization is equipped with several flow meters. Specifically, a first flow meter is installed between the first pumping device and the filtration device; and a second flow meter is installed between the second pumping device and the water cooling and / or heating device.

[0018] Furthermore, the evaporative condensation device is a tunnel-type evaporative condensation device, including a pipe fitting with a vertically extending first channel inside the pipe fitting. The top and bottom of the first channel are open, and its side walls are sealed. A fan is connected to the top of the first channel to blow air into the first channel and make the air flow downward. An evaporator is installed in the first channel. Air enters the first channel and flows through the evaporator. The evaporator contains refrigerant, which can cool the air flowing through the evaporator and liquefy the moisture in the air to form liquid water. There is one set of evaporators or multiple sets of evaporators. Multiple sets of evaporators are arranged vertically in the first channel, and the cooling temperature of the next set of evaporators is lower than that of the previous set of evaporators.

[0019] The evaporator includes refrigeration pipes filled with the refrigerant, which is in a liquid state. The temperature of the liquid refrigerant is lower than the temperature of the air blown into the first channel by the fan. When the air flows through the refrigeration pipes, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and vaporizes, thus cooling the air and liquefying the moisture in the air to form liquid water. A condenser is installed below the evaporator, allowing the air flowing through it to reach the condenser. The condenser includes condensation pipes that are interconnected with the refrigeration pipes. The liquid refrigerant vaporizes in the refrigeration pipes to form gaseous refrigerant, which then flows into the condensation pipes. The air temperature after being cooled by the evaporator is lower than the temperature of the condenser. When the air flows through the condensation pipes, it lowers the temperature of the condenser. The refrigerant, after liquefaction, flows into the refrigeration pipes for evaporation, thereby cooling the air flowing through the evaporator and liquefying the moisture to form liquid water. The condensation pipes extend horizontally and are arranged in a vertical array, with multiple sets of condensation pipes connected in parallel.

[0020] Furthermore, the fan in the tunnel-type evaporation and condensation device is a booster axial flow fan, which compresses air, increases the air pressure in the first channel area where the evaporator is located, increases the air humidity in the evaporator area, and further improves the water production efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, the air-to-water system also includes an automatic water dispensing and filling device, which includes a cup storage cylinder, a cup disassembly mechanism, a cup retrieval and transfer mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a filling area. The cup storage cylinder is used to store empty water cups, and the bottom of the cup storage cylinder has a lower opening. The cup disassembly mechanism is used to separate the water cups stacked together in the cup storage cylinder, and the separated water cups located at the bottom fall freely and exit the cup storage cylinder through the lower opening. The cup retrieval and transfer mechanism is located below the cup storage cylinder and is used to catch the falling water cups and horizontally transfer them to the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism vertically lifts the received water cups to the filling area, which has a drinking water outlet, and the water cups are filled with water in the filling area.

[0022] Furthermore, an automatic door opening and closing mechanism is provided below the water filling area. This mechanism is a louvered door structure, including a component mounting plate, a blade mounting plate, several blades, and a blade driving plate. These components are hollowed out in the middle to form a channel through which the water cup passes. This channel is located on the same axis as the cup outlet. The component mounting plate is fixed to the frame of the air-to-water device for mounting the other components. The blade mounting plate is fixed to the component mounting plate, and the blades are pivotally connected to the blade mounting plate. The outer periphery of the blade driving plate has a toothed segment. The blade driving plate is driven by a fourth motor. The output end of the fourth motor is connected to a second gear, which meshes with the toothed segment. The operation of the fourth motor drives the blade driving plate to rotate through the engagement of the second gear and the toothed segment. The blade driving plate rotates forward or backward, causing the blade assembly to unfold or retract, thereby closing or opening the aforementioned channel.

[0023] Furthermore, a cup reinforcement mechanism is provided below the water filling area, specifically including a reinforcement tray and a rotation controller. The reinforcement tray is controlled by the rotation controller to swing. When the cup is lifted to the predetermined position in the water filling area, waiting to be filled, the reinforcement tray will swing to below the passage of the automatic opening and closing mechanism, i.e., below the cup to be filled, providing support for the cup. At the same time, the louvers of the automatic opening and closing mechanism will relax, preventing the cup from tilting or falling, and also making it easy to remove the cup. Cup reinforcement action flow:

[0024] Step 1: The louvered door of the automatic opening and closing mechanism opens, and the reinforcing tray of the cup reinforcement mechanism rotates to make room for the cup to be dispensed;

[0025] Step 2: Lift the tray to move the water cup to the filling position;

[0026] Step 3: The louvers of the automatic door opening and closing mechanism tighten, clamping the water cup;

[0027] Step 4: Raise the tray to lower it, and the cup reinforcement mechanism's reinforcement tray rotates to the bottom of the cup;

[0028] Step 5: The louvered door of the automatic opening and closing mechanism is released, and the water cup is held by the reinforcing tray of the water cup reinforcement mechanism;

[0029] Step 6: After the water cup is removed, the louvered door of the automatic door opening and closing mechanism closes.

[0030] The coordinated operation of the cup storage container, cup disassembly mechanism, cup retrieval and transfer mechanism, lifting mechanism, and water filling area automates the entire process from separating, receiving, and transferring empty cups to filling them with water, enhancing the user experience. A cup reinforcement mechanism is incorporated; the louvered door of the automatic opening and closing mechanism releases, and the cup is held in place by a reinforced tray, preventing tilting or falling and facilitating easy removal, further improving the user experience. The automated cup dispensing and filling design effectively avoids hygiene issues that may arise from manual cup handling, ensuring the safety of the user's drinking water. Simultaneously, the efficient automation process improves the equipment's utilization rate, especially during peak periods or when large volumes of water are needed.

[0031] After adopting the above solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0032] This utility model discloses an integrated air-to-water system, including an evaporative condensation device, a water circulation sterilization system, a circulation cleaning channel, and an automatic water outlet and filling device. The evaporative condensation device is a tunnel-type evaporative condensation device, which improves air-to-water efficiency and saves energy. The water circulation sterilization water supply channel is crucial for ensuring water quality. The water supply channel is divided into two parts: a water collection and filtration channel and a water storage and sterilization outlet channel. The water collection and filtration channel consists of a water collection device, a first valve device, a first pumping device, a filter device, and pipes. The water storage and sterilization outlet channel consists of a water storage device, a second pumping device, a water cooling and / or heating device, a second valve device, and pipes. After external air enters the air-to-water system, the liquid water produced by the evaporative condensation device is collected by the water collection device, filtered, and stored in the water storage device. Then, it is heated or cooled by the heating or cooling device to produce hot or cold water for users to drink. The water circulation sterilization system constructed by this invention switches the flow to different circulation sterilization channels and cleaning channels through valve devices, so that the water in the system, especially the water downstream of the sterilization device, can be periodically circulated back to the sterilization device for sterilization treatment, thereby ensuring that the water quality always remains clean and safe.

[0033] The design of the circulating cleaning channel enables the system to regularly and effectively clean the internal water storage tank, instant heater, instant cooler, and the entire water pipeline, greatly improving the cleanliness, hygiene, and ease of maintenance of the system.

[0034] The water cooling device in this system uses a dual-plate instant cooler, including a front plate and a back plate. The dual plates sandwich the refrigerant unit in the middle, allowing the refrigerant unit to simultaneously cool the fluid flowing through the dual plates, achieving double the cooling effect. In addition, this invention also designs a Tesla valve structure on the flow channel of the dual plates. Utilizing the principle of increasing turbulence through reverse flow of the Tesla valve, the water flow can fully exchange heat with the refrigerant in the Tesla valve flow channel, completing rapid and efficient cooling with better cooling effect.

[0035] The automatic water dispensing and filling device makes it easy to get water, improving the convenience of drinking water and enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0074] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0075] Example 1:

[0076] This utility model provides an integrated air-to-water system, such as... Figures 1 to 15 As shown, it includes an evaporation and condensation device 10, a water supply channel with water circulation sterilization, a circulation cleaning channel, and a control system 80. The control system 80 is used to control the operation of the air-to-water system.

[0077] Regarding evaporation and condensation device 10:

[0078] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the evaporator-condenser device 10 includes an evaporator 101, a compressor 102, and a condenser 103. The inner tube of the evaporator 101 contains refrigerant, which cools the air flowing through it and liquefies moisture in the air to form liquid water. The compressor 102 connects the evaporator 101 and the condenser 103 to circulate and cool the refrigerant. Specifically, the refrigerant in the evaporator 101 absorbs heat and becomes a gas. This gas is then compressed by the compressor 102 into a high-pressure, high-temperature gas, which is then sent to the condenser 103 for cooling and refrigerant regeneration. The refrigerant cooled in the condenser 103 can then be piped back into the evaporator 101, forming a complete refrigerant circulation loop.

[0079] The air-to-water system also includes an air filter assembly 108, which is located outside the evaporator 101. Outside air is filtered by the air filter assembly 108 before entering the evaporator 101 and liquefying into water. The air filter assembly 108 can effectively filter harmful gases in the air by combining existing aerodynamic principles with multiple filtration technologies.

[0080] The control system 80 consists of two parts: a control panel and a control board. The control panel displays operating information and various data parameters, and also allows users to input adjustment commands. The control board, as a mature and widely used programmable controller, manages the entire operation of the air-to-water system. The equipment and control logic involved in the control system 80 are all within the scope of existing technology, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0081] The key to this solution lies in the water supply channel with water circulation sterilization, which includes a water collection and filtration channel and a water storage and sterilization outlet channel. The water collection and filtration channel includes a water collection device 20, a first valve device, a first pumping device, and a filtration device 30 connected in sequence.

[0082] Regarding water collection device 20:

[0083] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the water collection device 20 is connected to the evaporator 101 and is used to collect the water produced by the evaporator 101. The water collection device 20 includes a water collection tray 201, a mounting tray 202, a pull-out tray 203, a water collection tank 204, and a water collection tank pump 205. The water collection tray 201 is located between the evaporator 101 and the water collection tank 204 and is used to collect the water produced by the evaporator 101. The lower end face of the water collection tray 201 is provided with a water collection tray outlet 2011, so that the collected water can flow from the water collection tray outlet 2011 into the water collection tank 204.

[0084] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the mounting plate 202 is fixed inside the housing cavity of the air-to-water system. A pull-out plate 203 is mounted on the mounting plate 202 and has space to accommodate the water tank. The water collection tank 204 is pull-out and located within the pull-out plate 203. This pull-out design not only facilitates easy removal of the water collection tank 204 for cleaning or refilling but also greatly improves the flexibility and practicality of the device. The water collection tank 204 is equipped with a water inlet 2041 and a water outlet 2042. The water outlet 2011 of the water collection plate is vertically aligned with the water inlet 2041. Therefore, water generated by the evaporator 101 collects in the water collection plate 201 and then flows from the water outlet 2011 into the water collection tank 204. Furthermore, a water collection tank pump 205 is located at the water outlet, and the output port of the water collection tank pump 205 is connected to a pump output connector 206. The water collection tank pump 205 pumps the water out of the water collection tank 204 and delivers it to the subsequent treatment or utilization stage through the pump output connector 206.

[0085] Regarding the first valve assembly:

[0086] The first valve device is a first two-way valve, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first two-way valve has a first inlet, a second inlet, and an outlet. The first inlet is connected to the water collection device 20 via a pipe. The first two-way valve has a switching function, which allows its outlet to be selectively connected to either the first or the second inlet, thereby flexibly switching between different water sources.

[0087] Regarding filter device 30:

[0088] As a key component of the air-to-water system, the type of filter device 30 is not specifically limited in this design, and any suitable filter can be used. The inlet of the filter is connected to the outlet of the first two-way valve (i.e., the subsequent water flow path of the water collection device 20), while the outlet is connected to the water storage device 40, ensuring that the water in the water collection tank 204 flows smoothly into the water storage device 40 after being effectively purified by the filter for subsequent use.

[0089] The water storage and sterilization outlet channel includes a water storage device 40, a second pumping device, a water cooling and / or heating device, and a second valve device connected in sequence. Both the first and second pumping devices are water pumps, which provide hydrodynamic power to the water supply channel.

[0090] Regarding water storage device 40:

[0091] The water storage device 40 is a key component in the air-to-water system, connected to the filter device 30 to receive water filtered by the filter device 30. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the water storage device 40 has a water tank 401 structure with an opening at the top and a closable top cover 402. This design not only allows users to easily open the top cover 402 at any time for a thorough deep cleaning of the inside of the tank, effectively removing dirt and bacteria, but also ensures that the water quality is not contaminated by the outside when closed, thus guaranteeing the safety and hygiene of drinking water.

[0092] refer to Figure 10 The water storage tank 401 is equipped with an ultraviolet sterilization device 403, which is a UVC LED sterilization device. The device includes an electrical connector 4031 and several UVC LED beads 4032. The electrical connector 4031 is fixed to the top cover 402 of the water storage tank 401, while the remaining parts are suspended relative to the tank body. The electrical connector 4031 connects to the LED beads 4032, providing control power to them. A lamp tube 4034 is fitted over the LED beads 4032 and tightly connected to the electrical connector 4031, providing waterproof protection for the LED beads 4032 and preventing them from being corroded by water.

[0093] Multiple UVC LED beads (4032) are arranged in a light strip configuration. This design not only improves sterilization efficiency but also makes the light source distribution more uniform. One or more light strips can be selected in this germicidal lamp. In this embodiment, three light strips are used, forming a triangular prism structure to ensure that the water body is irradiated with ultraviolet light from multiple directions, thereby enhancing the sterilization effect.

[0094] UV is a general term for ultraviolet light, with a wavelength range covering 100nm-420nm, but only the UVC band with wavelengths between 200-275nm has a sterilization function. Currently, the commonly used ultraviolet germicidal lamps on the market use UV mercury lamp tubes (4034) as the light source. These light sources are characterized by relatively low manufacturing costs; however, they are not environmentally friendly due to their mercury content, and their wide wavelength range results in relatively dispersed ultraviolet energy, thus requiring a longer sterilization time. In contrast, this application uses UVC LED beads (4032) as the light source. The significant advantage of these 4032 beads is that their wavelength can be precisely concentrated in the highly efficient sterilization range of 260-280nm, releasing strong ultraviolet energy to achieve rapid sterilization and offering a longer lifespan.

[0095] The water storage device 40 is connected to an ozone sterilization device, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the ozone sterilization device includes an ozone generator and an ozone pump. The ozone generator is responsible for generating ozone, while the ozone pump is responsible for efficiently delivering the ozone to the water storage tank 401 for comprehensive sterilization.

[0096] Regarding water cooling and / or heating devices:

[0097] Water cooling and / or heating devices are used to cool or heat water to meet different user needs for hot or cold water. (See reference diagram) Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water cooling and / or heating device includes an instant cooler 50 and an instant heater 60. The instant cooler 50 is responsible for cooling the water, and the instant heater 60 is responsible for heating the water. A second two-way valve is provided between the water storage device 40 and the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60. Through the switching function of the second two-way valve, the water can be freely directed to the instant cooler 50 for cooling or to the instant heater 60 for heating.

[0098] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an expansion valve can be installed in the refrigerant output line of condenser 103 to achieve precise refrigerant distribution and control. Specifically, a water-producing expansion valve and a chilled water expansion valve are installed on the output line of condenser 103. The water-producing expansion valve connects condenser 103 and evaporator 101; the chilled water expansion valve connects instant cooler 50 and condenser 103. The refrigerant used in evaporator 101 and instant cooler 50 is compressed by compressor 102 and then delivered to condenser 103 for cooling before being circulated to the water-producing expansion valve and chilled water expansion valve. Based on the required water production and chilled water temperature, the water-producing expansion valve and chilled water expansion valve are automatically adjusted respectively. Then, through the evaporative refrigeration structure inside evaporator 101 and instant cooler 50, the water production and chilled water temperature can be easily and automatically controlled.

[0099] Regarding the instant cooler 50:

[0100] The instant cooler 50 is a plate-type instant cooler 50, such as Figures 11 to 15 As shown, it includes the front panel 501, the back panel 502, and the refrigerant unit 503. Please refer to this document for details. Figure 13 The refrigerant unit 503 is a tube extending from the inlet end 5031 to the outlet end 5032. Refrigerant flows from the inlet end 5031 to the outlet end 5032 inside the tube. A front plate 501 and a back plate 502 are respectively attached to both sides of the tube of the refrigerant unit 503. The front plate 501 and the back plate 502 are each provided with an instant cooling water inlet 5011 and an instant cooling water outlet 5012. The front plate 501 and the back plate 502 are each provided with a flow channel from the instant cooling water inlet 5011 to the instant cooling water outlet 5012, and a Tesla valve structure 504 is provided in the flow channel. The path of the flow channel evenly covers the entire front plate 501 and the back plate 502.

[0101] This design can be used to cool various fluids and has a wide range of applications. Taking 25°C room temperature water as an example, during operation, room temperature water is input through the instant cooling inlet 5011 of the front plate 501 and back plate 502. The room temperature water flows in the flow channel of the front plate 501 and back plate 502. Refrigerant is input through the inlet 5031 of the refrigerant unit 503. Using the front plate 501 and back plate 502 as the heat exchange medium, the refrigerant carries away the heat from the flow channel of the front plate 501 and back plate 502 as it flows through the pipe body. Utilizing the principle of increasing turbulence through reverse flow of the Tesla valve, the water flow can fully exchange heat with the refrigerant in the Tesla valve flow channel, and the refrigerant quickly cools the room temperature water (25°C) to ice water (5-10°C). The Tesla valve structure 504 is in a forward flow state, combined with... Figure 15 It includes multiple direct current channels 5041 and vortex channels 5042. One direct current channel 5041 and one vortex channel 5042 constitute a unit. A junction cavity 5043 is provided at the intersection of each direct current channel 5041 and vortex channel 5042, and the junction cavity 5043 connects to the direct current channel 5041 and vortex channel 5042 of the next unit. When the fluid passes through the Tesla valve, the fluid will be divided into two parts with different directions, the direct current channel 5041 and the vortex channel 5042. This not only reduces the pressure but also increases the contact area between the fluid and the front and back plates 502, thus achieving sufficient cooling.

[0102] This invention does not limit the distribution and shape of the flow channels. In a preferred embodiment, the flow channels are continuously arranged in a U-shape, uniformly covering the front plate 501 and the back plate 502. The instant cooling inlet 5011 and the instant cooling outlet 5012 are close to each other and located on the same side, which can greatly increase the area of ​​the flow channels and improve the cooling efficiency. The instant cooling outlet 5012 of the front plate 501 can be connected in series with the instant cooling inlet 5011 of the back plate 502 through a pipe, so that the fluid passes through the two plates, resulting in a better cooling effect.

[0103] To facilitate inspection of the flow channel, the flow channel is designed as a detachable structure. The front plate 501 and the back plate 502 form a trough on one side of the flow channel and are provided with a cover plate. The cover plate seals and closes to the trough. The flow channel can be inspected after the cover plate is opened.

[0104] To increase refrigerant throughput, the refrigerant unit 503 has multiple tubes arranged side-by-side. One end of each tube is connected to the inlet 5031, and the other end is connected to the outlet 5032. This increases the contact area between the refrigerant unit 503 and the front and back plates 502, resulting in better cooling. Furthermore, the front plate 501 and back plate 502 each have a groove on the surface corresponding to the refrigerant unit 503. The tubes of the refrigerant unit 503 fit into these grooves, allowing for a more precise and compatible fit between the front plate 501 and back plate 502 and the tubes of the refrigerant unit 503, improving installation adaptability. The front plate 501 and back plate 502 are fixed together using fasteners (such as screws), clamping and fixing the refrigerant unit 503 between them.

[0105] Regarding the second valve device:

[0106] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second valve device has an inlet, a small circulation return port, a large circulation return port, and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the outlet of the water cooling and / or heating device; the small circulation return port is connected to the water storage device 40; the large circulation return port is connected to the second inlet of the first valve device; and the outlet is connected to the drinking water outlet 7052 of the air-to-water generator. When the second valve device switches its inlet to connect to the small circulation return port, the water supply channel performs small circulation sterilization; when the second valve device switches its inlet to connect to the large circulation return port, the water supply channel performs large circulation sterilization.

[0107] In this embodiment, the second valve device includes two interconnected bidirectional valves, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the third and fourth two-way valves are respectively. The third two-way valve has an inlet, a return port, and an outlet. The inlet of the third two-way valve is connected to the outlet of the water cooling and / or heating device, and the outlet is connected to the drinking water outlet 7052 of the air-to-water generator. The fourth two-way valve has an inlet, a small circulation return port, and a large circulation return port. The inlet of the fourth two-way valve is connected to the return port of the third two-way valve, the small circulation return port is connected to the water storage tank 401, and the large circulation return port is connected to the return port of the first two-way valve.

[0108] Furthermore, to achieve precise monitoring and management of water flow, flow meters can be selectively installed on key water pipelines. Specifically, for example... Figure 7 As shown, a first flow meter is provided between the first pumping device and the filter device 30; a second flow meter is provided between the second pumping device and the water cooling and / or heating device.

[0109] The working process of the water supply channel with water circulation sterilization is as follows (for reference) Figure 6 and Figure 7 ):

[0110] When the "small circulation sterilization mode" is selected, the UVC LED sterilization device inside the water storage tank 401 is turned on, the second water pump is turned on, the second two-way valve alternately switches to the instant cooler 50 or the instant heater 60, the third two-way valve switches to the fourth two-way valve, and the fourth two-way valve switches to the small circulation return port, which connects the small circulation return sterilization channel.

[0111] Under the action of the second water pump, the water in the water storage tank 401 flows sequentially through the second water pump, the second flow meter, the second two-way valve, the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60 (flowing alternately), the third two-way valve, and the fourth two-way valve, and then returns to the water storage tank 401, where UVC LED sterilization and ozone sterilization are carried out.

[0112] Selecting the "Large Circulation Sterilization Mode" activates the first and second water pumps, and switches the fourth two-way valve to the large circulation return port, connecting the large circulation return sterilization channel. Under the action of the first and second water pumps, water from the storage tank 401 flows to the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60 (alternating flow), then flows from the large circulation return sterilization channel to the filter device 30, and returns to the storage tank 401, where UVC LED sterilization and ozone sterilization are performed.

[0113] When a user needs to drink water, the third two-way valve switches to the drinking water outlet 7052 according to the instruction, and water flows out from the drinking water outlet 7052 for the user to drink directly.

[0114] Circulating cleaning channel:

[0115] By connecting the inlet and outlet of the aforementioned water supply channel to an external cleaning tank or similar structure via pipes, a circulating cleaning channel for an air-to-water system can be formed, as detailed below (reference). Figure 8 );

[0116] The large circulation return port of the fourth two-way valve in the water supply channel is replaced by a pipe and connected to the clean drain port on the air-to-water system. The clean drain port is then connected to the second inlet of the first two-way valve via a pipe. Simultaneously, the second inlet of the first two-way valve is replaced by a pipe and connected to an external water inlet on the air-to-water system. This external water inlet is connected to a cleaning tank located outside the air-to-water system via a pipe. Therefore, the first valve device, the first pumping device, the filter device 30, the water storage device 40, the second pumping device, the water cooling and / or heating device, the second valve device, the cleaning tank, and the pipes connecting these devices constitute a circulating cleaning channel. The working process of the circulating cleaning channel is as follows:

[0117] 1. Enter "cleaning mode", the sterilization device and ozone sterilization device are turned off; the second water pump is turned on, and the second two-way valve alternately switches to open to the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60. The clean water in the water storage tank 401 is alternately pumped into the instant cooler 50 and the instant heater 60; the third two-way valve switches to open to the fourth two-way valve, and the fourth two-way valve switches to open to the pipeline cleaning channel.

[0118] 2. Under the action of the first water pump and the second water pump, the water in the water storage tank 401, the instant cooler 50, the instant heater 60 and the pipeline is discharged;

[0119] 3. Fill the external cleaning tank with clean water, ensuring there is enough water in the tank. Connect the "external water inlet" of the air-to-water system to the cleaning tank via a pipe, and connect the "clean water outlet" of the air-to-water system to the cleaning tank via a pipe.

[0120] 4. The first two-way valve switches to the external water inlet, and the first water pump starts, pumping the clean water in the cleaning tank into the water pipes and storage tank 401, instant cooler 50, and instant heater 60 of the air-to-water system. The water then exits through the "clean drain" and flows back into the external "cleaning tank," achieving automatic circulation cleaning of the water pipes and storage tank 401, instant cooler 50, and instant heater 60 of the air-to-water system. During the cleaning process, the cleaning water in the external cleaning tank can be replaced.

[0121] 5. Once the circulation is complete, stop pumping clean water into the water pipes and water storage tank 401, instant cooler 50, and instant heater 60 of the air-to-water system.

[0122] In specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air-to-water system has a frame 90 with a housing cavity. The housing cavity is divided into multiple layers from top to bottom. The evaporator 101, condenser 103, fan 107, instant heater 60, water collection device 20, compressor 102, filter device 30, water storage device 40, and various pumps, valves, and other structures are distributed in each layer, making the entire air-to-water system compact.

[0123] Example 2:

[0124] In this embodiment, the evaporation-condensation device 10 is a tunnel-type evaporation-condensation device 10, such as... Figures 16 to 19As shown, the device includes a pipe fitting 104, within which a vertically extending first channel 1041 is provided. The first channel 1041 is open at both the top and bottom, and its sidewalls are sealed. A fan 107 is connected to the top of the first channel 1041, which blows air into the first channel 1041 and causes the air to flow downwards. An evaporator 101 is provided inside the first channel 1041. Air entering the first channel 1041 and flowing through the evaporator 101 is liquefied into liquid water. The first channel 1041 adopts a relatively long tunnel shape. Under the same airflow volume and the same outer surface area of ​​the refrigeration pipe, the contact time between the incoming air and the refrigeration pipe is longer, allowing the moisture in the air to condense more fully into liquid water, thus improving the efficiency of liquid water preparation.

[0125] The evaporator 101 may be provided in one set or in multiple sets. These multiple sets of evaporators 101 are vertically arranged within the first channel 1041, with the cooling temperature of the next set of evaporators 101 being lower than that of the previous set. When there are multiple sets of evaporators 101, the cooling temperature of the subsequent evaporators 101 is set lower than that of the preceding evaporators 101. Air flows sequentially through all the evaporators 101, and under the combined action of multiple sets of evaporators 101, liquid water is condensed more thoroughly. With the same total cooling energy consumption, the water production effect is better.

[0126] The evaporator 101 includes a refrigeration pipe filled with the refrigerant. The temperature of the liquid refrigerant is lower than the temperature of the air blown into the first channel 1041 by the fan 107. When the air flows through the refrigeration pipe, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and vaporizes, thus cooling the air and liquefying the moisture in the air to form liquid water. A condenser 103 is located below the evaporator 101. Air flowing through the evaporator 101 can flow to the condenser 103. The condenser 103 includes a condensation pipe connected to the refrigeration pipe. The liquid refrigerant vaporizes in the refrigeration pipe to form gaseous refrigerant, which then flows into the condensation pipe. The temperature of the air cooled by the evaporator 101 is lower than the temperature of the condenser 103. When the air flows through the condensation pipe, it lowers the temperature of the condenser 103, causing the refrigerant inside the condenser 103 to liquefy. After liquefaction, the refrigerant flows into the refrigeration pipe for evaporation, thereby cooling the air flowing through the evaporator 101 and liquefying the moisture to form liquid water.

[0127] The condenser 103 channel adopts a tunnel-like design, which can increase the total time of air cooling of the condenser 103 and improve heat dissipation efficiency. The condensing pipes inside the condenser 103 extend horizontally and are arranged in an array vertically, and multiple sets of condensing pipes are set in parallel, which can increase the flow rate of refrigerant in the pipes of the condenser 103 to improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0128] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, both the evaporator 101 and the condenser 103 are located within the first channel 1041, with the evaporator 101 positioned directly above the condenser 103. Furthermore, a water receiving component 105 is provided between the evaporator 101 and the condenser 103. The water receiving component 105 is a cone shape with its tip pointing downwards, and it contains a water receiving trough 1051, which is also a cone shape with its tip pointing downwards. The water receiving trough 1051 is used to collect liquid water from the evaporator 101. A water outlet 1052 is provided below the side wall of the water receiving trough 1051, and the outlet is connected to a water outlet pipe 1053. The water outlet pipe 1053 extends through the gap between the condenser 103 and the first channel 1041 to the outside of the first channel 1041, allowing water in the water receiving trough 1051 to flow out of the first channel 1041.

[0129] like Figure 19 As shown, a guide member 106 is provided above the water receiving part 105. The guide member 106 is a cone shape with the tip pointing upward. There are gaps between the guide member 106, the water receiving part 105 and the first channel 1041. The cone-shaped guide member 106 can guide the air flowing through the evaporator 101 through the gap between the guide member 106, the water receiving part 105 and the first channel 1041, so that the air flows into the condenser 103 after passing through the gap between the guide member 106, the water receiving part 105 and the first channel 1041. The cone-shaped guide member 106 can also prevent the air flowing downward through the evaporator 101 from flowing upward. A notch groove 1061 is also provided at the bottom of the side wall of the guide member 106. Liquid water falling on the surface of the guide member 106 can flow into the water receiving tank 1051 through the notch groove 1061. Furthermore, the fan 107 in the tunnel-type evaporation and condensation device 10 adopts a booster axial flow fan to compress air, increase the air pressure in the first channel 1041 area where the evaporator 101 is located, increase the air humidity in the evaporator 101 area, and further improve the water production efficiency.

[0130] Example 3:

[0131] The evaporation-condensation device 10 in this embodiment also adopts a tunnel-type evaporation-condensation device 10, such as Figures 20 to 22 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 2 is as follows: the first channel 1041 branches below the evaporator 101 to form a second channel 1042 and a third channel 1043. The second channel 1042 extends along the extension direction of the first channel 1041, and the third channel 1043 is located beside the second channel 1042. The first channel 1041, the second channel 1042 and the second channel 1043 are interconnected. The evaporator 101 is located inside the first channel 1041, and the condenser 103 is located at the lower opening of the third channel 1043. The air flowing through the evaporator 101 flows into the third channel 1043 and then flows from the lower end of the third channel 1043 to the condenser 103.

[0132] Optionally, a water receiving component 105 is provided in the second channel 1042 directly below the evaporator 101. The water receiving component 105 is located below the connection between the third channel 1043 and the first channel 1041 and the second channel 1042. The water receiving component 105 has a water receiving trough 1051, which is used to receive liquid water from the evaporator 101. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water receiving component 105, which is connected to the water receiving trough 1051. The second channel 1042 below the water receiving trough 1051 forms a water receiving space, which is used to place a water receiving bucket.

[0133] The first channel 1041 of the evaporation-condensation device 10 adopts a longer tunnel form. Under the same airflow and the same outer surface area of ​​the refrigeration pipe, the contact time between the incoming air and the refrigeration pipe is longer, and the moisture in the air can be condensed into liquid water more fully, thus improving the efficiency of preparing liquid water from the air.

[0134] Example 4:

[0135] In addition to the above-mentioned solutions, the integrated air-to-water system of this utility model can also be equipped with an automatic water dispensing and filling device 70 to further improve its performance, thereby achieving automatic cup dispensing and self-filling, and enhancing the user experience. The automatic water dispensing and filling device 70 provided in this embodiment, as follows... Figures 23 to 33 As shown, it includes a cup storage cylinder 701, a cup disassembly mechanism 702, a cup removal and transfer mechanism 703, a lifting mechanism 704, and a water filling area 705. The automatic water dispensing and filling device 70 is also operated in a unified and coordinated manner by the control system 80.

[0136] The cup storage cylinder 701 is used to store empty water cups 706, and the bottom of the cup storage cylinder 701 has a lower opening 7012. The cup disassembly mechanism 702 is used to separate the stacked water cups 706 in the cup storage cylinder 701. The separated water cups 706 located at the bottom fall freely and are removed from the cup storage cylinder 701 through the lower opening 7012. The cup picking and transferring mechanism 703 is located below the cup storage cylinder 701 and is used to catch the falling water cups 706 and transfer them to the lifting mechanism 704. The lifting mechanism 704 lifts the received water cups 706 to the water filling area 705, where the water cups 706 are filled with water. The water cup 706 mentioned in this case mainly refers to a water cup 706 suitable for air-to-water devices, which has a diameter larger than the rim of the cup body.

[0137] like Figure 24As shown, the cup storage cylinder 701 is designed as a cylindrical structure to accommodate water cups 706 of different sizes and shapes. Several water cups 706 are stacked on top of each other, with their openings facing upwards, inside the cup storage cylinder 701. The cup storage cylinder 701 has openings at both the top and bottom. The upper opening 7011 facilitates the replenishment of water cups 706 when needed, while the lower opening 7012 allows water cups 706 to be removed or automatically dropped during operation. The cup storage cylinder 701 has hollowed-out areas 7013 on both sides to facilitate the separation of the water cups 706 inside the cup storage cylinder 701 by the cup disassembly mechanism 702.

[0138] like Figure 24 As shown, the cup-separating mechanism 702 is located on one side of the cup storage cylinder 701, and is mainly used to separate the stacked water cups 706 inside the cup storage cylinder 701. The cup-separating mechanism 702 includes a U-shaped cup-separating component 7021 and a first linear movement assembly. The opening of the U-shaped cup-separating component 7021 surrounds the hollow area 7013 of the cup storage cylinder 701. Inclined blocks 7022 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped cup-separating component 7021. The inclined blocks 7022 are key for separating the water cups 706. Figure 26 and Figure 27 As shown, the inclined block 7022 is triangular, and the inclination angle of the lower edge 7023 of the inclined block gradually increases from front to back. When the cup disassembly mechanism 702 is activated, the first linear moving component pushes the U-shaped cup disassembly component 7021 forward, and the inclined block 7022 gradually inserts into the gap between the rims of the stacked water cups 706. Through the pushing action of the lower edge 7023 of the inclined block, the upper and lower water cups 706 begin to separate. As the U-shaped cup disassembly component 7021 continues to move forward, the inclination angle of the contact point between the lower edge 7023 of the inclined block and the water cup 706 gradually increases until the lower water cup 706 falls freely due to gravity exceeding the static friction between it and the upper water cup 706, and successfully detaches from the lower opening 7012 of the cup storage cylinder 701, finally landing on the cup removal and transfer mechanism 703, while the upper water cup 706 is stably supported by the upper end of the inclined block 7022 and will not fall.

[0139] The inner walls of the U-shaped cup-removing component 7021 are also equipped with cup holders 7024 on both sides to support the cups 706. The cup holders 7024 are located in front of the inclined block 7022, and the height of the upper surface of the cup holders 7024 is lower than the height of the upper surface of the front end of the inclined block 7022. Thus, after completing one cup-removal operation, the U-shaped cup-removal component 7021 will move backward to reset, awaiting the next cup-removal operation. When the U-shaped cup-removal component 7021 moves backward until the inclined block 7022 is completely detached from the cups 706, the cups 706 will fall and rest on the cup holders 7024. When the cups 706 are stacked on the cup holders 7024, the height of the frontmost part of the inclined block 7022 is exactly between the rims of the two bottommost cups 706. This ensures that during the next cup-removal operation, the inclined block 7022 can be accurately inserted between the rims of the two bottommost cups 706, thus smoothly separating the bottommost cup 706.

[0140] In this embodiment, the first linear motion assembly for driving the U-shaped cup-removing component 7021 includes a first slide rail 7025, a first slider 7026, a first swing arm 7027, a second swing arm 7028, and a first motor 7029. The rear end of the U-shaped cup-removing component 7021 is mounted on the first slide rail 7025 via the first slider 7026. The output end of the first motor 7029, the first swing arm 7027, the second swing arm 7028, and the first slider 7026 are pivotally connected in sequence to form a transmission chain. When the first motor 7029 is started, its power is transmitted to the first slider 7026 through the swing arm, thereby driving the U-shaped cup-removing component 7021 to perform linear reciprocating motion, achieving precise control of the cup-removing action.

[0141] like Figure 27 As shown, the cup-collecting and transferring mechanism 703 is located between the cup storage cylinder 701 and the lifting mechanism 704, and is used to catch the water cup 706 falling from the cup storage cylinder 701 and transfer it to the lifting mechanism 704.

[0142] like Figures 28 to 30As shown in the figure, the cup-receiving and transferring mechanism 703 includes a receiving platform 7031 and a second linear movement mechanism. The receiving platform 7031 is used to catch a dropped water cup 706, and the second linear movement mechanism is used to drive the receiving platform 7031 to move between the cup storage cylinder 701 and the lifting mechanism 704 to transfer the caught water cup 706 to the lifting mechanism 704. Specifically, the second linear movement mechanism includes a second slide rail 7034, a second slider 7035, a second motor 7036, a first gear 7037, and a rack 7038. The second slide rail 7034 is laid between the cup storage cylinder 701 and the lifting mechanism 704. The receiving platform 7031 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 7034 via the second slider 7035. The rack 7038 is fixedly connected to the second slider 7035 and parallel to the second slide rail 7034. The rack 7038 meshes with the first gear 7037. The output of the second motor 7036 is connected to the first gear 7037 and drives the first gear 7037 to rotate. When the receiving platform 7031 receives the water cup 706 falling from the cup storage cylinder 701 in the initial position, the second motor 7036 will start. Through the cooperation of the first gear 7037 and the rack 7038, the receiving platform 7031 will be driven to move smoothly along the second slide rail 7034 until the water cup 706 is accurately transferred to the lifting mechanism 704.

[0143] As a further improvement to the structure, such as Figure 28 As shown, the connecting platform 7031 is equipped with a C-shaped suspension part 7032, which supports the rim of the water cup 706, allowing the bottom of the water cup 706 to be suspended in the air. Specifically, the diameter of the C-shaped suspension part 7032 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rim of the water cup 706 but larger than the diameter of the cup body, allowing the water cup 706 to pass unobstructed horizontally in and out of the C-shaped suspension part 7032 from above, without falling off from below. This design not only facilitates the easy transfer of the water cup 706 from the connecting platform 7031 to the lifting mechanism 704, but also effectively avoids friction or damage that may occur due to bottom contact during the transfer process.

[0144] The lifting mechanism 704 is located between the cup-receiving and transferring mechanism 703 and the water-filling area 705, and is used to receive the water cup 706 from the cup-receiving and transferring mechanism 703 and lift it to the water-filling area 705. Figure 28As shown, the lifting mechanism 704 consists of a lifting tray 7041 and a third linear motion mechanism. The third linear motion mechanism includes a belt 7043 drive wheel 7044 assembly and a third motor 7045. The belt 7043 drive wheel 7044 assembly is composed of a belt 7043 and a drive wheel 7044, and is vertically oriented to ensure that the water cup 706 can be conveyed vertically. The output end of the third motor 7045 is connected to the drive wheel 7044, and drives the belt 7043 to move by rotating the drive wheel 7044. The lifting tray 7041 has an L-shaped cross-section. The horizontal portion of the L-shaped lifting tray 7041 receives the water cup 706 from the self-service cup transfer mechanism 703, and the vertical portion of the L-shaped lifting tray 7041 is mounted on the belt 7043 via a connector 7046, allowing the lifting tray 7041 to move with the belt 7043, lifting the water cup 706 onto it to the water filling area 705.

[0145] As a further improvement to the structure, such as Figure 30 As shown, the horizontal part of the lifting tray 7041 is provided with an annular hollow cup holder 7042. The inner diameter of the hollow cup holder 7042 is larger than the minimum outer diameter of the water cup 706 and smaller than the maximum outer diameter of the water cup 706, so as to ensure that the water cup 706 can always be firmly held in place during the transmission process. Even if it encounters bumps or shaking, the water cup 706 will not easily fall off, thereby greatly improving the safety and reliability of the transmission.

[0146] The lifting tray 7041 receives the water cup 706 from below on the connecting platform 7031, and lifts it directly upwards after receiving the cup 706. Therefore, the horizontally arranged C-shaped suspension part 7032 has a side opening 7033 facing the lifting mechanism 704, which is to avoid the lifting mechanism 704. In addition, the hollow cup holder 7042 must also meet the requirement that its outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the C-shaped suspension part 7032, so as to ensure that the lifting tray 7041 can pass smoothly through the C-shaped suspension part 7032 when it moves upwards.

[0147] like Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, the water filling area 705 is typically located at the top of the air-to-water device. Below the water filling area 705 is a cup outlet 7051 through which a water cup 706 passes. Above the water filling area 705, corresponding to the cup outlet 7051, is the drinking water outlet 7052, which is connected to the air-to-water module to ensure a water supply. When the device is started, the lifting mechanism 704 lifts the water cup 706 upwards, allowing it to pass through the cup outlet 7051 to the predetermined position in the water filling area 705. Subsequently, the drinking water outlet 7052 will respond by dispensing water until the water filling operation is complete.

[0148] As a further improvement to the structure, such as Figures 31 to 33As shown, an automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707 is installed at the cup outlet 51 below the water filling area 705. When the cup is dispensed, the automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707 opens automatically, and when the cup 706 is removed, the automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707 closes automatically.

[0149] The automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707 is a louvered door structure, specifically including a component mounting plate 7071, a blade mounting plate 7072, several blades 7073, a blade drive plate 7074, and a cover plate 65. These components are hollowed out in the middle, forming a channel for the water cup to pass through. The component mounting plate 7071 is fixed to the frame of the air-to-water system for mounting the other components. The blade mounting plate 7072 is fixed to the component mounting plate 7071, while the blades 63 are pivotally connected to the blade mounting plate 7072. The outer periphery of the blade drive plate 7074 has a toothed segment 7078. The blade drive plate 7074 is driven by a fourth motor 7076, and the output end of the fourth motor 7076 is connected to a second gear 7077, which meshes with the toothed segment 7078. The fourth motor 7076 operates by driving the blade drive disk 7074 to rotate through the cooperation of the second gear 7077 and the tooth segment 7078. The blade drive disk 7074 rotates in the forward or reverse direction, causing the blade 7073 assembly to unfold or retract, thereby closing or opening the aforementioned channel.

[0150] As a further structural improvement, a water cup reinforcement mechanism 708 is also provided below the automatic door opening and closing mechanism 707, such as... Figure 31 , Figure 32 and Figure 33 As shown, it specifically includes a reinforcing tray 7081 and a rotation controller 7082. The reinforcing tray 7081 is controlled by the rotation controller 7082 to swing. When the water cup 706 is raised to the predetermined position of the water filling area 705 and is waiting to be filled, the reinforcing tray 7081 will swing to the underside of the passage of the automatic opening and closing mechanism 707, that is, under the water cup 706 waiting to be filled, to provide support for the water cup 706. At the same time, the louvered door flaps 7073 of the automatic opening and closing mechanism are relaxed, which can prevent the water cup 706 from tilting or falling, and also make it easy to remove the water cup 706.

[0151] The reinforcement process for water cup 706 is as follows: Step 1: The louvered door flap 7073 of the automatic opening and closing door mechanism 707 opens, and the reinforcement tray 7081 of the water cup reinforcement mechanism 708 rotates to make room for the cup; Step 2: The lifting tray 7042 moves the water cup 706 to the water filling position; Step 3: The louvered door flap 7073 tightens, clamping the water cup 706; Step 4: The reinforcement tray 7081 rotates to the bottom of the water cup 706; Step 5: The louvered door flap 7073 relaxes, and the water cup 706 is supported by the reinforcement tray 7081; Step 6: After the water cup 706 is removed, the louvered door flap 7073 closes.

[0152] The automatic cup-dispensing water device operates as follows:

[0153] When a user requests water, the control system 80 will activate the cup removal mechanism 702. The first linear movement mechanism will move the U-shaped cup removal component 7021 forward until the water cup 706 below falls off. Then, the U-shaped cup removal component 7021 will move backward to reset, waiting for the next operation.

[0154] After the water cup 706 falls onto the docking platform 7031 of the cup-receiving and transferring mechanism 703, it is caught by the C-shaped suspension part 7032. Then the second linear movement mechanism is activated, which horizontally transports the docking platform 7031 and the water cup 706 to the left to the lifting mechanism 704, so that the water cup 706 is directly above the hollow cup holder 7042.

[0155] Next, the third motor 7045 of the lifting mechanism 704 starts, lifting the lifting tray 7041 upward. After the water cup 706 is separated from the docking platform 7031, the docking platform 7031 moves to the right to reset and waits for the next operation.

[0156] When the water cup 706 reaches the predetermined position in the water filling area 705, namely the cup outlet 7051, the control system 80 initiates the water dispensing operation of the drinking water outlet 7052 to fill the water cup 706 with a measured amount of water. After filling, the user can remove the water cup 706 for drinking. After the water cup 706 is removed, the lifting mechanism 704 resets to await the next operation.

[0157] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the design of this case. All equivalent changes made based on the key design of this case shall fall within the protection scope of this case.
