Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drinking water equipment, specifically relating to a tea bar machine with double-sided doors. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, tea bar machines have begun to enter thousands of households in recent years. Their design, with a water bucket at the bottom and a kettle at the top, has replaced the traditional water dispenser. The water in the bucket flows through a water pipe installed on the lid of the bucket and enters the kettle above for heating or direct drinking, making it more convenient for consumers.

[0003] Currently, most tea bar machines on the market have a cabinet door on the front side, hinged to the cabinet body on one side. Users can access items such as tea leaves or change bottled water by opening and closing the door. However, due to structural limitations, the cabinet door of existing tea bar machines can only open to the side set during production (left or right). When the side of the tea bar machine with the hinged door is placed against a wall, the wall will obstruct the opening of the door, preventing it from opening to a large angle, making it very inconvenient to access items and change water bottles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a tea bar machine with double-sided opening doors, so as to solve the problem of the inconvenience of opening a tea bar machine with only one side.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a double-sided opening tea bar machine, including a cabinet and cabinet doors, and a pair of opening components respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the cabinet doors. The cabinet doors are rotatably connected to the cabinet body through the opening components. The opening components include a drive component movably connected to the cabinet doors and two rotating shafts. The two rotating shafts are slidably connected to the cabinet doors and are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the drive component. The drive component drives the two rotating shafts to slide, so that the rotating shafts are inserted into or disengaged from the cabinet body. This technical solution has the following technical effects:

[0006] This invention features an opening assembly on each of the left and right sides of the cabinet door. Each assembly is designed with a drive mechanism that engages with two rotating shafts. When the user does not need to access items inside the cabinet or change the water bucket, both opening assemblies on either side can be inserted into the cabinet body via rotating shafts, locking the cabinet door securely to the cabinet and preventing it from opening and closing freely. When the user needs to access items or change the water bucket, they can select one of the opening assemblies on one side of the cabinet door. By moving the drive mechanism of the selected assembly, the rotating shafts on both sides of the drive mechanism slide and move closer together, disengaging from the cabinet body. This allows one side of the cabinet door to separate from the cabinet body and rotate around the rotating shaft of the other opening assembly to open the cabinet door. By installing opening components on both sides of the cabinet door, when the tea bar machine is placed against the wall, the user can choose to operate the opening component on the side closest to the wall, allowing the cabinet door to detach from the cabinet body on the side closest to the wall. This allows the cabinet door to rotate around the opening component on the side furthest from the wall, avoiding any obstruction from the wall and ensuring that the cabinet door can be opened to an angle that is convenient for the user to access items or change the water bucket, thus improving the user experience.

[0007] In the aforementioned double-sided tea bar machine, the driving component includes two connecting rods and a button that slides horizontally on the cabinet door. The two ends of the connecting rods are rotatably connected to the button and a rotating shaft, respectively. When the button is pressed, the connecting rods cause the rotating shaft to disengage from the cabinet. By configuring the driving component with a structure where the button and two connecting rods are rotatably connected, the connecting rods can switch the horizontal displacement of the button to the vertical displacement of the two rotating shafts. Users only need to operate the button on the side of the cabinet door to engage or disengage the door opening assembly from the cabinet, making operation convenient.

[0008] In the aforementioned double-door tea bar machine, the door opening assembly also includes button springs that abut against the buttons and the cabinet door respectively. The button springs push the buttons, causing a rotating shaft to insert into the cabinet body. When opening and closing the cabinet door, the button springs assist in resetting the buttons, allowing the user to simply press the button without manually resetting it, simplifying the operation and improving the user experience.

[0009] In the aforementioned double-sided tea bar machine, a spring positioning post is provided on the side of the button facing the button spring, and the end of the button spring is sleeved on the spring positioning post. This facilitates the installation of the button spring while limiting its movement, ensuring that the button spring stably abuts against the button and the cabinet door to push the button back to its original position, resulting in more stable and reliable operation.

[0010] In the aforementioned double-sided tea bar machine, the door opening assembly also includes a pivot spring with a spring force less than that of the button spring. The pivot spring is sleeved on the pivot and abuts against both the cabinet door and the pivot, pushing the pivot inwards. When the user does not press a button, because the spring force of the button spring is greater than that of the pivot spring, the button can be pushed by the button spring, causing the pivot to overcome the spring force of the pivot spring and insert into the cabinet body via a connecting rod. When the user presses the button to pull the pivot inwards, the pivot spring works in concert to push the pivot inwards, making it easier for the user to press the button.

[0011] In the aforementioned double-sided tea bar machine, each side of the cabinet door has a receiving cavity for accommodating the door opening components. The side of the cabinet door has a through hole communicating with the receiving cavity, and the buttons are inserted through the through hole. The receiving cavities provide shelter and protection for the door opening components, enhancing aesthetics while preventing damage and extending their lifespan.

[0012] In the aforementioned tea bar machine with double-sided doors, the buttons include an actuating part inserted through a through hole and a stop part disposed within a receiving cavity. The stop part is arranged around the actuating part and limits the button by abutting against the inner wall of the receiving cavity surrounding the through hole. The stop part can limit the button by abutting against the inner wall of the receiving cavity surrounding the through hole, preventing the button from freely detaching from the mounting cavity through the through hole.

[0013] In the aforementioned double-sided tea bar machine, the cabinet door includes a door panel and a door frame surrounding the door panel. The width of the door frame is greater than the width of the door panel to form a receiving cavity between them. This facilitates manufacturing and reduces production difficulty.

[0014] In the aforementioned tea bar machine with double-sided doors, the receiving cavity is equipped with multiple limiting ribs. These ribs limit the horizontal movement of the rotating shaft, allowing it to slide vertically on the cabinet door. The use of these limiting ribs eliminates the need for additional slots within the receiving cavity to guide the rotating shaft, thus simplifying the structural complexity of the receiving cavity and reducing manufacturing difficulty.

[0015] In the aforementioned double-sided door tea bar machine, the driving component includes a return spring and two push blocks. The two push blocks are respectively fixed to opposite ends of two rotating shafts and extend out of the cabinet door. The return spring abuts against the two push blocks, causing the rotating shafts to insert into the cabinet body via the push blocks. When the user needs to detach the door assembly from the cabinet, they simultaneously push the two push blocks, causing them to move towards the return spring and compress it, thus retracting the rotating shafts into the cabinet door and detaching them from the cabinet. When the user releases the two push blocks, the two push blocks, pushed by the return spring, simultaneously move the two rotating shafts away from the return spring to reset. The structure is simple and easy for the user to operate.

[0033] This utility model proposes a double-sided opening tea bar machine, including a cabinet body and cabinet doors, and a pair of opening components respectively located on the left and right sides of the cabinet doors. The cabinet doors are rotatably connected to the cabinet body through the opening components. The opening components include a drive component movably connected to the cabinet doors and two rotating shafts. The two rotating shafts are slidably connected to the cabinet doors and are located on the upper and lower sides of the drive component respectively. The drive component drives the two rotating shafts to slide, so that the rotating shafts are inserted into the cabinet body or disengaged from the cabinet body. This invention features an opening assembly on each of the left and right sides of the cabinet door. Each assembly is designed with a drive mechanism that engages with two rotating shafts. When the user does not need to access items inside the cabinet or change the water bucket, both opening assemblies on either side can be inserted into the cabinet body via rotating shafts, locking the cabinet door securely to the cabinet and preventing it from opening and closing freely. When the user needs to access items or change the water bucket, they can select one of the opening assemblies on one side of the cabinet door. By moving the drive mechanism of the selected assembly, the rotating shafts on both sides of the drive mechanism slide and move closer together, disengaging from the cabinet body. This allows one side of the cabinet door to separate from the cabinet body and rotate around the rotating shaft of the other opening assembly to open the cabinet door. By installing opening components on both sides of the cabinet door, when the tea bar machine is placed against the wall, the user can choose to operate the opening component on the side closest to the wall, allowing the cabinet door to detach from the cabinet body on the side closest to the wall. This allows the cabinet door to rotate around the opening component on the side furthest from the wall, avoiding any obstruction from the wall and ensuring that the cabinet door can be opened to an angle that is convenient for the user to access items or change the water bucket, thus improving the user experience.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] A tea bar machine with doors opening on both sides, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the system includes a cabinet body 100, cabinet doors 200 mounted on the cabinet body 100, and a pair of door opening assemblies 300. The two door opening assemblies 300 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the cabinet door 200, and the cabinet door 200 is rotatably connected to the cabinet body 100 through the door opening assemblies 300. Each door opening assembly 300 includes a drive member 400 and two rotating shafts 500. The drive member 400 is movably connected to the cabinet door 200, and the two rotating shafts 500 are located on the upper and lower sides of the drive member 400, respectively. The two rotating shafts 500 are slidably connected to the cabinet door 200. The drive member 400 can move on the cabinet door 200 to drive the two rotating shafts 500 to slide on the cabinet door 200, thereby causing the two rotating shafts 500 to slide away from each other to vertically insert into the sockets 110 on the cabinet body 100, or causing the two rotating shafts 500 to slide closer to each other to disengage from the two sockets 110 on the cabinet body 100, respectively.

[0041] This utility model provides an opening assembly 300 on each of the left and right sides of the cabinet door 200. The opening assembly 300 is configured such that a drive component 400 engages with two rotating shafts 500. This allows the two opening assemblies 300 on both sides of the cabinet door 200 to be inserted into the cabinet 100 via rotating shafts 500 when the user does not need to access items inside the cabinet 100 or change the water bucket. This locks the cabinet door 200 securely to the cabinet 100 via the opening assemblies 300, preventing it from opening and closing freely. When it is necessary to retrieve items from the cabinet 100 or change the water bucket, select one of the two door opening components 300 on one side of the cabinet door 200 for operation. By moving the drive component 400 of the selected door opening component 300, the upper and lower pivots 500 of the drive component 400 are driven to slide and move closer to each other to disengage from the cabinet 100. This allows one side of the cabinet door 200 to separate from the cabinet 100 and rotate around the pivot 500 of the other door opening component 300 to open the cabinet door 200. By installing door opening components 300 on both sides of the cabinet door 200, when the tea bar machine is placed against the wall, the user can choose to operate the door opening component 300 on the side closest to the wall according to the placement position of the tea bar machine. This allows the side of the cabinet door 200 closest to the wall to detach from the cabinet body 100, and the cabinet door 200 can then rotate around the door opening component 300 on the side furthest from the wall. This avoids the wall obstructing the opening of the cabinet door 200, thus preventing the wall from limiting the opening angle of the cabinet door 200. It ensures that the cabinet door can be opened to an angle that is convenient for the user to access items or change the water bucket, thereby improving the user experience.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving component 400 includes a button 420 and two connecting rods 410. The button 420 is slidably connected to the cabinet door 200 and can move horizontally. Two rotating shafts 500 are slidably connected to the cabinet door 200 vertically. One end of each connecting rod 410 is rotatably connected to the button 420, and the other end of each connecting rod 410 is rotatably connected to the end of each rotating shaft 500 near the button 420, so that the button 420 can drive the two rotating shafts 500 to slide on the cabinet door 200 through the two connecting rods 410. Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, when the user does not press button 420, the two connecting rods 410 are in a vertical position, pushing the two rotating shafts 500 through the cabinet door 200 and vertically inserting them into the sockets 110 of the cabinet body 100, thereby locking the cabinet door 200 onto the cabinet body 100. Figure 6As shown, when the user presses button 420, button 420 moves horizontally into cabinet door 200, simultaneously causing two connecting rods 410 to move. The connecting rods 410 change from a vertical state to an inclined state. During the movement of the connecting rods 410, the connecting rods 410 pull the rotating shafts 500 towards button 420, causing the two rotating shafts 500 to slide simultaneously towards button 420, switching from a position inserted into socket 110 to a position disengaged from socket 110. When button 420 resets, the connecting rods 410 switch back to a vertical state, pushing the two rotating shafts 500 out of cabinet door 200 again. By configuring the drive component 400 into a structure in which the button 420 and two connecting rods 410 are rotatably connected, the connecting rods 410 can switch the horizontal displacement of the button 420 into the vertical displacement of the two rotating shafts 500. The user only needs to operate the button 420 on the side of the cabinet door 200 to realize the insertion or disengagement of the door opening component 300 from the cabinet body 100, which is convenient to operate.

[0043] The door opening assembly 300 in this embodiment also includes a button spring 600. The button spring 600 abuts against the button 420 and the cabinet door 200 respectively. When the user presses the button 420, the button 420 pulls the rotating shaft 500 away from the cabinet body 100 through the connecting rod 410. At this time, the button spring 600 is in a compressed state under the pressure of the button 420 and the cabinet door 200. When the user stops pressing the button 420, the compressed button spring 600 pushes the button 420 outward from the cabinet door 200 under its own elastic force, so that the button 420 automatically resets. This allows the connecting rod 410 to return to the vertical state where it drives the rotating shaft 500 to extend out of the cabinet door 200. That is, when opening and closing the cabinet door 200, the button spring 600 can assist the button 420 in resetting. The user only needs to press the button 420 and does not need to manually reset the button 420, so that the user can perform the next pressing operation, simplifying the user's operation and improving the user experience. Preferably, spring positioning posts 423 are provided at the positions of button 420 and cabinet door 200 facing button spring 600, respectively. Both ends of button spring 600 are respectively sleeved on spring positioning posts 423. This facilitates the installation of button spring 600 while limiting button spring 600, so that button spring 600 is stably abutted between button 420 and cabinet door 200 to push button 420 to reset, making the operation more stable and reliable.

[0044] like Figure 2As shown, the door opening assembly 300 in this embodiment also includes two pivot springs 700. The two pivot springs 700 are respectively sleeved on the ends of the two pivots 500. The pivots 500 are provided with baffles 510. One end of the pivot spring 700 abuts against the baffles 510 on the pivot 500, and the other end abuts against the cabinet door 200 to push the pivots 500 into the cabinet door 200. The elastic force of the pivots 500 is less than that of the button spring 600. When the user does not press button 420, because the elastic force of button spring 600 is greater than that of pivot spring 700, button 420 can be pushed by button spring 600 to drive pivot 500 through connecting rod 410 to overcome the elastic force of pivot spring 700 and insert into cabinet 100. When the user presses button 420 to pull pivot 500 into cabinet door 200, pivot spring 700 can work together to push pivot 500 into cabinet door 200, making it easier for the user to press button 420.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cabinet door 200 is provided with receiving cavities 230 on both sides to accommodate the door opening assembly 300. A through hole 240 is provided on the side of the cabinet door 200, and the receiving cavity 230 communicates with the outside through the through hole 240. A clearance hole 211 is provided on the upper and lower sides of the cabinet door 200. The door opening assembly 300 is disposed in the receiving cavity 230. The end of the rotating shaft 500 extends out of or retracts from the cabinet door 200 through the clearance hole 211. The button 420 is inserted into the through hole 240 to pass through the cabinet door 200. The receiving cavity 230 is used to shield and protect the door opening assembly 300, which is more aesthetically pleasing and prevents damage to the door opening assembly 300, thus extending the service life of the door opening assembly 300. In this preferred embodiment, the cabinet door 200 includes a door panel 220 and a door frame 210. The door frame 210 is arranged around the door panel 220, and the width of the door frame 210 is greater than the width of the door panel 220, so as to form a receiving cavity 230 between the door panel 220 and the door frame 210, which facilitates processing and manufacturing and reduces the difficulty of production and processing.

[0046] To prevent the button 420 from freely detaching from the mounting cavity through the through hole 240, the button 420 in this embodiment includes a pressing part 421 and a stopping part 422. The pressing part 421 passes through the through hole 240 and is slidably connected to the through hole 240. The stopping part 422 is fixed on the side of the pressing part 421 located in the receiving cavity 230. The stopping part 422 is arranged around the pressing part 421. The outer diameter of the stopping part 422 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 240. It can limit the button 420 by abutting against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 230 around the through hole 240.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, multiple limiting ribs 231 are provided in the receiving cavity 230. The limiting ribs 231 abut against the side of the rotating shaft 500 to limit the rotating shaft 500 in the horizontal direction, so that the rotating shaft 500 can only slide in the vertical direction in the receiving cavity 230. The setting of the limiting ribs 231 means that there is no need to open additional slots in the receiving cavity 230 to guide the rotating shaft 500, and the rotating shaft 500 can be limited, which simplifies the structural complexity of the receiving cavity 230 and reduces the difficulty of production and processing.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the driving component includes a reset spring 430 and two push blocks 440. The two push blocks 440 are respectively fixed to one end of the two rotating shafts 500. One end of the push block 440 is fixed on the rotating shaft 500, and the other end extends horizontally and protrudes from the cabinet door. The reset spring 430 is located between the two push blocks 440 and abuts against the two push blocks 440 respectively.

[0050] When the user needs to detach the door opening assembly from the cabinet, they simultaneously push the two push blocks 440 out of the cabinet door, causing the two push blocks 440 to move towards the return spring 430 and press the return spring 430, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 500 to retract into the cabinet door to detach from the cabinet. When the user releases the two push blocks 440, the two push blocks 440, under the push of the return spring 430, simultaneously drive the two rotating shafts 500 to move away from the return spring 430 to reset. The structure is simple and easy for the user to operate.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
