Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water technology, and in particular to a tea bar machine. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of living standards and consumption upgrades, tea bar machines have grown rapidly in the past two years and have begun to enter thousands of households. With their bottom water tank and top kettle, tea bar machines replace traditional water dispensers and make them more convenient for consumers.

[0003] The cabinet doors of existing tea bar machines generally use magnets in conjunction with side panels to close. One side of the cabinet door is fixed to the cabinet body through hinges, pivots, or other structures to form a fixed end for rotating opening. The other side of the cabinet door is a free end. After prolonged use or when glass is glued to the cabinet door to increase its weight, the cabinet door will sag on its free side due to gravity because the fixed end is supported on one side. This will result in uneven gaps between the door and the upper door or top cover, thus affecting the overall aesthetics and sealing performance of the tea bar machine.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technical solutions disclose a structure to prevent door sagging. By forming support at the free end of the door body, the spatial location for deformation is eliminated, thus avoiding deformation. For example, nylon rollers or spring ball bearings are installed between the door frame and the door body to support the free end and prevent sagging.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned technical solutions still have certain drawbacks. For example, in the solution of setting nylon rollers on the top of the cabinet, the rollers are directly exposed on the outside, which affects the overall aesthetics and is prone to rusting and blockage by foreign objects, resulting in poor performance. At the same time, there is also the problem of inconvenience in disassembly and assembly. In the solution of setting spring ball bearing components to support the free end at the bottom of the cabinet door, the overall structural design is relatively complex, and some structures need to be installed and fixed inside the cabinet door, resulting in low assembly efficiency and high maintenance difficulty.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a tea bar machine. By installing an elastic corrective component between the cabinet door and the cabinet body, and cooperating with a rotating shaft to support the cabinet door, it avoids problems such as sagging of the cabinet door and uneven gaps between the upper door or top cover. At the same time, the elastic corrective component can assist the rotating shaft in realizing the rotational connection between the cabinet door and the cabinet body, reducing the complexity of the connection structure between the cabinet door and the cabinet body and ensuring the aesthetics of the entire machine.

[0008] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0009] A tea bar machine includes a cabinet and a cabinet door. The cabinet includes a side panel and a base that form a receiving cavity. It also includes a first connecting component disposed between the cabinet and the cabinet door. The first connecting component includes an elastic corrector and a first rotating shaft. The elastic corrector is installed on the base. One end of the first rotating shaft is fixed to the elastic corrector, and the other end extends into the cabinet door to allow the cabinet door to be rotatably connected to the cabinet.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the elastic corrective component includes an elastic element and a support base for mounting the first rotating shaft. The elastic element is installed between the support base and the base, and the top of the support base is provided with a support surface that abuts against the first rotating shaft or the cabinet door.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the base is provided with a mounting groove corresponding to the support seat, the support seat is provided with buckle grooves on both sides, and the side wall of the mounting groove is provided with a corresponding buckle structure to cooperate with the elastic element to fix the support seat on the base.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, the mounting groove is provided with a first limiting structure for fixing the elastic element. The first limiting structure, together with a second limiting structure located at the bottom of the support base, fixes the elastic element in the mounting groove.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the base is further provided with an auxiliary component, which includes a roller structure partially protruding from the base. The roller structure abuts against the cabinet door to cooperate with the elastic straightening member to make the bottom plane of the cabinet door parallel to the top plane of the base.

[0014] As one embodiment of this utility model, the cabinet door is also provided with a stop groove for positioning the roller structure. The stop groove has a guide slope on the side facing the interior of the cabinet, and the guide slope is used to guide the roller structure into or out of the stop groove.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary component further includes a roller seat, a cover plate, and a telescopic component. One side of the roller seat is used to install the roller structure, and the other side is rotatably connected to the cover plate. The telescopic component is installed on the cover plate.

[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, the cover plate includes a third limiting structure, and the roller seat has a fourth limiting structure in the middle. The third limiting structure cooperates with the fourth limiting structure to fix the telescopic member between the cover plate and the roller seat.

[0017] As one embodiment of this utility model, the cabinet door is further provided with a second connecting component. The second connecting component includes a hinge located at the top of the cabinet door and a second pivot. One side of the hinge is provided with a through hole, and the second pivot extends through the through hole toward the base and into the interior of the cabinet door.

[0018] As one embodiment of this utility model, a storage structure is provided above the cabinet door, the second pivot is inserted into the interior of the storage structure to fix the cabinet door, and the cabinet door is provided with a fifth limiting structure on one side of the second pivot for limiting the hinge.

[0019] The technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] In this invention, an elastic corrective component is incorporated into the first connecting assembly between the cabinet door and the cabinet body. This component, installed in the base, supports the cabinet door, reducing the gap between the top of the door and the cabinet body or storage space. The weight of the cabinet door presses against the elastic corrective component, preventing a large gap between the bottom of the door and the base. Furthermore, the elastic corrective component is concealed at the fixed end, preventing cosmetic defects and minimizing environmental impact, thus increasing the lifespan of the first connecting assembly. The elastic corrective component also works in conjunction with a first rotating shaft passing between the cabinet door and the cabinet body, limiting the shaft's position to allow the door to rotate and connect to the cabinet body. Compared to the additional support structures in existing technologies, this design has lower structural complexity, is easier to assemble and disassemble, and facilitates overall machine assembly and subsequent maintenance.

[0021] The base of this utility model is provided with an auxiliary component for cooperating with the elastic correction component. The auxiliary component is located at the free end of the cabinet door and specifically includes a roller structure with a portion of its structure protruding from the outside of the base. When the cabinet door is closed, the roller structure abuts against its free end and assists the elastic correction component in correcting the position of the cabinet door to prevent problems such as sagging of the cabinet door and large gaps between the cabinet door and the cabinet body. The elastic force on the elastic correction component reduces the impact of manufacturing tolerances and other factors on the roller structure, so that the cabinet door can remain parallel to the plane of the base and ensure the overall aesthetics of the tea bar machine.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0037] This embodiment provides a tea bar machine, including a cabinet and a cabinet door. The cabinet includes a side panel and a base that form a receiving cavity, and also includes a first connecting component disposed between the cabinet and the cabinet door. The first connecting component includes an elastic corrective element and a first rotating shaft. The elastic corrective element is installed on the base, and one end of the first rotating shaft is fixed to the elastic corrective element, while the other end extends into the cabinet door to allow the cabinet door to rotate and connect to the cabinet.

[0038] In the above-mentioned embodiment, an elastic corrector fixed to one end of the first pivot is provided in the first connecting component to provide elastic support for the cabinet door. It also replaces the pivot structure such as a hinge fixed to the first pivot, limiting the position of the first pivot and cooperating with the first pivot to realize the rotational connection between the cabinet door and the cabinet body. In this embodiment, the elastic corrector is also installed in the base in a hidden structural design, which reduces the impact on the overall aesthetics of the machine, protects the elastic corrector, reduces the impact of the external environment, improves the service life of the elastic corrector, and enhances the user experience.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tea bar machine includes a cabinet 1 and a cabinet door 2. The cabinet 1 includes a side panel 11 forming a receiving cavity and a base 12. One side of the cabinet door 2 is fixed to the cabinet 1 as a fixed end, and the other side is a free end, used to realize the opening and closing action of the cabinet door 2. The fixed end is provided with a first connecting component 3, which is used to rotatably connect the cabinet door 2 to the base 12. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3The first connecting component 3 includes a first rotating shaft 31 for rotating the cabinet door, and an elastic straightening component 32 that cooperates with the first rotating shaft 31 to achieve a rotatable connection. One end of the first rotating shaft 31 passes through the bottom surface of the cabinet door 2 and into its interior, while the other end is fixed to the elastic straightening component 32 and passes through the interior of the cabinet body 2. The elastic straightening component 32 also supports the cabinet door 2. By controlling its elastic coefficient and the specific parameters of the cabinet door 2 and the cabinet body 1, the problem of excessive gap between the cabinet door 2 and the cabinet body 1, or the cabinet door... To address the issue of sagging and ensure the overall aesthetics of the machine, the elastic corrector 32 can be used in conjunction with the first pivot 31 to enable the quick installation of the cabinet door 2. Compared to the traditional tea bar machine where the door installation process requires laying the entire machine down and screwing in the door hinges from the bottom, this embodiment does not require laying the entire machine down. After the first pivot 31 is installed, it is installed with the lower pivot hole 21 in the cabinet door 2. Then, the cabinet door 2 is pressed down to make it sink as a whole. After the top of the cabinet door 2 is installed, it is released, and the cabinet door is lifted up by the elastic force of the elastic corrector 32.

[0040] For details, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The elastic corrective element 32 includes an elastic element 321 and a support base 322 for mounting and fixing the first rotating shaft 31. The elastic element 321 is installed between the support base 322 and the base 12. The top of the support base 322 is provided with a support surface that abuts against the first rotating shaft 31 or the cabinet door 2. In this embodiment, the elastic element 321 provides elastic force to the support base 322, and the support base 322 is used to provide support force to the bottom of the first rotating shaft 31 or the cabinet door 2 to solve the problems of sagging cabinet door 2 and excessive gap between cabinet door 2 and cabinet body 1. Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating shaft 31 is provided with a fixing part 311 clamped between the cabinet door and the support base 322. The supporting surface is provided on the fixing part 311. The first rotating shaft 31 extends into the support base 322 through the mounting hole 323 and passes into the base 12. The fixing part 211 limits the first rotating shaft 31 vertically and uses the weight of the first rotating shaft 31 itself to maintain its fixed relationship with the support base 322. In another embodiment of this embodiment, the supporting surface can also be directly provided on the top of the support base. In this case, the first rotating shaft extends into the support base through the mounting hole and is installed in the base through the fixing structure. The base fixes and limits the first rotating shaft.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the base 12 is provided with a mounting groove 121 corresponding to the support 233. The support 322 has snap-fit ​​grooves 324 on both sides. The sidewall of the mounting groove 121 has a corresponding snap-fit ​​structure 122 to cooperate with the elastic element 321 to fix the support 322 onto the base 12. When the support 322 is installed, the elastic element 321 is compressed downwards by a certain distance, allowing the support 322 to receive a portion of upward elastic force. When the support 322 is fixed to the mounting groove 121, the elastic force causes the snap-fit ​​structure 122 to be tightly fastened in the snap-fit ​​groove 324, improving the installation reliability of the support 322. In a specific embodiment of this example, refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting groove 121 is also provided with a first limiting structure 123 for fixing the elastic element 321. The first limiting structure 123 cooperates with the second limiting structure 325 located at the bottom of the support base 322 to fix the elastic element in the mounting groove 121. In this embodiment, the elastic element 321 can be one of a spring, an elastic diaphragm, an elastic connecting rod, or an elastic bellows. Taking a spring as an example, the spring can be sleeved on the first limiting structure 123 and the second limiting structure 325. In this case, the limiting structure is designed as a limiting rib. Alternatively, the spring can be clipped onto the first limiting structure 123 and the second limiting structure 325. The limiting structure is designed as a limiting groove. The specific design of the elastic element 321 and the limiting structure depends on the actual situation of the product. This embodiment does not limit the design.

[0042] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 An auxiliary component 4 is also provided on the base 12 of the tea bar machine. The auxiliary component 4 includes a roller structure 41 that protrudes from the base. The roller structure 41 is used to abut against the cabinet door when the cabinet door is closed, so as to cooperate with the elastic straightening component 32 to make the bottom plane of the cabinet door 2 parallel to the top plane of the base 12. The auxiliary component 4 is located on the side away from the first connecting component 3, that is, near the free end of the cabinet door 2, so as to cooperate with the elastic straightening component 32 to further straighten the cabinet door 2 and prevent the cabinet door 2 from sagging. Specifically, the lower part of the roller structure 41 is hidden in the base 12 to reduce the impact on aesthetics, and the upper part abuts against its bottom plane when the cabinet door 2 is closed, so that the free end of the cabinet door 2 is continuously supported upward in the closed state. At the same time, the elastic straightening component 32 supports the fixed end to cooperate with the auxiliary component 4 to achieve overall support for the cabinet door 2.

[0043] In the above, refer to Figures 6-8The cabinet door 2 is also provided with a stop groove 22 for positioning the roller structure. The stop groove 22 is an arc-shaped structure concentric with the roller structure 41. At the same time, a guide slope 23 is provided on the side of the stop groove 22 facing the inside of the cabinet body 1. The guide slope 23 is used to guide the roller structure 41 into or out of the stop groove 22. The stop groove 22 is used to form a limiting stop for the cabinet door 2, making the cabinet door 2 difficult to open. Therefore, the cabinet door 2 can be fixed without the need for magnets to attract it. Specifically, the auxiliary component 4 also includes a roller seat 42, a cover plate 43, and a telescopic component 44. The roller seat 42 is used to install the roller mounting part 421 of the roller structure 41 on one side facing the outside of the cabinet, and is rotatably connected to the cover plate 43 on the other side. When the roller seat 42 rotates, it drives the roller structure 41 to move up and down to prevent the cabinet door 2 from feeling stuck during closing. When the cabinet door 2 needs to be opened, due to the resistance between the roller structure 41 and the stop groove 22, the cabinet door 2 continuously applies force to the roller structure 41, causing it to drive the roller seat 42 to move downward, thereby causing the stop groove 22 to disengage from the limit of the roller structure 41.

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the base 12 has a corresponding mounting area 124 for the cover plate 43. The cover plate 43 is fixed to the mounting area 124 by screws and screw mounting posts. One end of the roller seat 42 is provided with a roller shaft mounting groove 422 for quick assembly and disassembly of the roller structure 41. The other end has two sides forming a third shaft 423 for mutual installation with the third shaft mounting groove 431 on the base 12 and the cover plate 43. At the same time, the base is provided with a clearance cavity 125 at the position of the roller mounting part 421. The specific parameters of the clearance cavity 125 are set according to the elastic coefficient of the telescopic part 44 and the displacement requirement of the roller mounting part 421. This provides sufficient space for the movement of the roller structure 41 when the cabinet door 2 is opened and closed, preventing interference and causing the cabinet door 2 to fail to open and close normally, thus improving the user experience.

[0045] In this embodiment, the roller structure 41 supports one side of the free end of the cabinet door 2 under the action of the telescopic member 44, preventing the cabinet door 2 from sagging on that side. The first rotating shaft 31 at the fixed end of the cabinet door 2, together with the elastic force of the elastic straightener 32 and the telescopic member 44, plays a balancing role, preventing the cabinet door 2 from sagging on the fixed end side due to excessive elasticity of the telescopic member 4. Specifically, refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9In this embodiment, the telescopic component 44 is installed on the cover plate 43. The cover plate 43 is provided with a third limiting structure 432, and a corresponding fourth limiting structure 424 is provided in the middle of the roller seat 42. The third limiting structure 432 cooperates with the fourth limiting structure 424 to fix the telescopic component 44 between the cover plate 43 and the roller seat 42, preventing the telescopic component 44 from shifting during use and ensuring the overall reliability of the auxiliary component 4.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the cabinet door 2 is also provided with a second connecting component 5. The second connecting component 5 includes a hinge 51 located at the top of the cabinet door 2 and a second pivot 52. A through hole is provided on one side of the hinge 51, and the second pivot 52 extends through the through hole toward the base 12 into the upper pivot hole 24 formed inside the cabinet door 2. Specifically, a storage structure 13 is also provided above the cabinet door 2. The second pivot 52 passes through the interior of the storage structure 13 to fix the cabinet door between the storage structure 13 and the base 12. The cabinet door 2 is provided with a fifth limiting structure 25 on one side of the second pivot 52 to limit the hinge 51. In this embodiment, the elastic corrector 32 and the base 12 are installed by snap-fit ​​fastening. The elastic corrector 32 has a snap-fit ​​groove 324 that cooperates with the snap-fit ​​structure 122 of the base. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 321 and the action of the first rotating shaft 31, the cabinet door 2 can move up and down. The fifth limiting structure 25 at the top of the cabinet door 2 and the hinge 51 limit it so that it will not continue to push upward after it is installed in place. At the same time, the fifth limiting structure 25 and the hinge 51 reduce friction through line contact to improve the user's feel when opening and closing the cabinet door 2.
