[0023] When dispensing warm drinking water, the hot water valve and the cold water valve are opened. A portion of the purified water enters the heating tank through the first channel of the second conversion tee to become hot water. At the same time, the other portion of purified water (i.e., the water that does not enter the heating tank) can be used as cold water for backup and mixed with the hot water at the first water outlet before being dispensed. The mixing ratio can be controlled by adjusting the opening of the hot water valve and the cold water valve, thereby achieving the dispensing of warm water at different temperatures.

[0024] When discharging dishwashing water, the dishwashing water valve is opened, and the water enters the instant water heater through the second channel of the first conversion tee and the first channel of the third conversion tee; the instant water heater heats the water to a suitable temperature for washing dishes; the heated dishwashing water is controlled by the dishwashing water valve and discharged from the second water outlet and flows out of the faucet.

[0025] When discharging tap water, the tap water valve is opened, and the water does not pass through the booster pump, water purifier, heating tank or instant heater, but flows directly through the second channel of the first conversion tee and the second channel of the third conversion tee to the second water outlet, and is released from the second water outlet by the tap water valve.

[0026] It can be seen that the multi-functional water dispenser of this application can meet users' needs for various water qualities and temperatures, including drinking hot water, drinking warm water, tap water, and dishwashing water. It has rich functions, can be applied to different application scenarios, and improves the degree of market demand satisfaction. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] 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, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] Existing water dispensers typically fail to meet users' needs for drinking boiled water, drinking warm water, tap water, and dishwashing water, resulting in limited functionality and applicability.

[0040] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a multi-functional water dispenser. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 5 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of the multi-functional water dispenser in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a top view of the internal structure of the multifunctional water dispenser in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 This is a front view of the internal structure of the multifunctional water dispenser in this embodiment of the application. Figure 4 This is a rear view of the internal structure of the multifunctional water dispenser in the embodiments of this application. Figure 5 This is a perspective view of the internal structure of the multifunctional water dispenser in the embodiments of this application.

[0041] The multi-functional water dispenser includes: inlet port 1, first conversion tee 2, booster pump 3, water purifier 4, second conversion tee 5, first outlet port 7, cold water valve 6, faucet 8, heating element 9, hot water valve 10, third conversion tee 11, instant water heater 12, dishwasher water valve 13, second outlet port 14, and tap water valve 15.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water inlet 1 is connected to the booster pump 3 through the first channel of the first conversion tee 2. The output end of the booster pump 3 is connected to the water purifier 4. The output end of the water purifier 4 is connected to the first water outlet 7 through the first channel of the second conversion tee 5. The cold water valve 6 is located on the pipeline between the first channel and the first water outlet 7. The first water outlet 7 is equipped with a faucet 8.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the heating tank 9 is equipped with a heating tube 90 for heating the water temperature. The water inlet of the heating tank 9 is connected to the second channel of the second conversion tee 5, and its water outlet is connected to the first water outlet 7 through the water valve 10.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water inlet of the instant water heater 12 is connected to the second channel of the first conversion tee 2 via the first channel of the third conversion tee 11, and the water outlet of the instant water heater 12 is connected to the second water outlet 14 via the dishwasher water valve 13. The second water outlet 14 is connected to the faucet 8. The instant water heater 12 can be an existing electric heating device. During operation, the target temperature is set via an electronic touch panel, and the control system automatically adjusts the opening ratio of the cold water valve and the hot water valve to control the mixed warm water.

[0045] Water valve 15 is connected to the pipeline between the second channel of the third conversion tee 11 and the second water outlet 14.

[0046] The aforementioned first conversion tee 2, second conversion tee 5, and third conversion tee 11 refer to pipe connectors with at least three interfaces and two channels, meaning they at least have the functions of a traditional tee, and can also have other functions and channels added on top of that.

[0047] The multi-functional water dispenser described above can output drinking hot water, drinking warm water, tap water, and dishwashing water according to user needs. Initially, the cold water valve 6, hot water valve 10, dishwashing water valve 13, and tap water valve 15 are closed. When distributing drinking hot water, the hot water valve 10 opens, and water enters the water dispenser through the inlet port 1. The water passes through the first channel of the first conversion tee 2 and enters the booster pump 3 for pressurization, then flows into the water purifier 4 for purification. The purified water continues to flow through the first channel of the second conversion tee 5 and enters the heating tank 9. After entering the heating tank 9, the water is heated to boiling. The heated hot water is controlled by the hot water valve 10 and discharged from the first outlet port 7, flowing out from the faucet 8.

[0048] When dispensing warm drinking water, the hot water valve 10 and the cold water valve 6 are opened. A portion of the purified water enters the heating tank 9 through the first channel of the second conversion tee 5 to become hot water. At the same time, the other portion of purified water (i.e., the water that does not enter the heating tank 9) can be used as cold water for backup and mixed with the hot water at the first water outlet 7 before being dispensed. The mixing ratio can be controlled by adjusting the opening of the hot water valve 10 and the cold water valve 6, thereby achieving the dispensing of warm water at different temperatures.

[0049] When discharging dishwashing water, the dishwashing water valve 13 is opened, and the water enters the instant heater 12 through the second channel of the first conversion tee 2 and the first channel of the third conversion tee 11; the instant heater 12 heats the water to a temperature suitable for washing dishes; the heated dishwashing water is controlled by the dishwashing water valve 13, and is discharged from the second water outlet 14 and flows out from the faucet 8.

[0050] When tap water is output, the tap water valve 15 is opened. The water does not pass through the booster pump 3, water purifier 4, heating tank 9 or instant heater 12, but flows directly through the second channel of the first conversion tee 2 and the second channel of the third conversion tee 11 to the second water outlet 14. It is then released from the second water outlet 14 under the control of the tap water valve 15.

[0051] As can be seen, the multi-functional water dispenser with the above technical solutions can meet users' needs for various water qualities and temperatures, including drinking hot water, drinking warm water, tap water, and dishwashing water. It has rich functions, can be applied to different application scenarios, and thus improves the user experience and meets market demands.

[0052] In one embodiment of the dragon head 8, see [reference] Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 6 This is a first cross-sectional view of the dragon head in an embodiment of this application; Figure 7 This is a second cross-sectional view of the faucet in this embodiment. The faucet 8 includes a housing 81, a spout 82, a hot water pipe 83, a cold water pipe 84, a dishwashing water pipe 85, and a tap water pipe 86. The housing 81 serves as the main structure of the faucet 8, supporting and protecting the internal pipes. The spout 82 is connected to the housing 81 and communicates with the hot water pipe 83, the cold water pipe 84, the dishwashing water pipe 85, and the tap water pipe 86; the hot water pipe 83 and the cold water pipe 84 are connected to the first water outlet connector, and the dishwashing water pipe 85 and the tap water pipe 86 are connected to the second water outlet connector. Among them, the hot water pipe 83 provides heated and filtered drinking water; the cold water pipe 84 provides filtered but unheated drinking water, suitable for summer or occasions where cold drinks are needed; the dishwashing water pipe 85 provides tap water at a suitable temperature for washing dishes; and the tap water pipe 86 is directly connected to the municipal water supply system, providing untreated tap water, suitable for general rinsing and other needs.

[0053] Further, see Figure 6 As shown, the cold water valve 6, hot water valve 10, dishwasher water valve 13, and tap water valve 15 are electronic valves. The faucet 8 also includes an electronic touch panel 87 for controlling the opening and closing of these valves. The electronic touch panel 87 is located in an easily accessible position on the faucet 8; users can simply touch the corresponding icon on the screen to turn the corresponding water supply on or off. The touch panel may also integrate a display screen showing current water temperature, water quality information, etc., further enhancing the user experience. In this embodiment, the hot water pipe 83 and the cold water pipe 84 converge at the first water outlet. Users can easily switch to the desired water source by operating the selector on the faucet 8 or the electronic touch panel 87. The dishwasher water pipe 85 and the tap water pipe 86 converge at the second water outlet, also controlled through the faucet 8's operating interface. The electronic touch panel 87 is connected to each electronic valve via signal lines and controls the opening and closing of the corresponding valves according to user input commands. This design ensures the independence of the water source while allowing users to switch quickly, thus improving ease of use.

[0054] For example, an electronic valve can be an existing solenoid valve, electric ball valve, or other valve.

[0055] For example, the electronic touch panel 87 is equipped with a purified water button, a hot water button, a warm water button, a dishwashing water button, and an ice water button. When selecting cold drinking water, touch the purified water button; when selecting hot water, touch the hot water button; when selecting warm water, touch the warm water button; when selecting dishwashing water, touch the dishwashing water button; and when selecting tap water, touch the ice water button.

[0056] For water quality monitoring and wastewater management of water purifier 4, please refer to... Figure 4 As shown, the water purifier 4 is equipped with a fourth conversion tee 16, a water quality probe 17 for detecting water quality, and a wastewater discharge valve 18 for controlling wastewater discharge. The wastewater discharge valve 18 is connected to the first channel of the fourth conversion tee 16. For example, the water quality probe 17 is an existing water quality detection probe device that monitors the water quality entering the water purifier 4 in real time. Once it detects that the water quality is substandard, it immediately triggers an alarm and may automatically shut off the water supply to ensure the safety of the output drinking water. The wastewater discharge valve 18 can be controlled via the aforementioned electronic touch panel 87. When the filter cartridge warning indicator on the electronic touch panel 87 flashes, it indicates that the filter cartridge needs to be replaced.

[0057] Further, see Figure 2 As shown, the heating element 9 is equipped with a pressure relief valve 19, which is connected to the second channel of the fourth conversion tee 16. Connected to the second channel of the fourth conversion tee 16, the valve automatically opens to release pressure when the internal pressure of the heating element 9 is too high, preventing safety accidents caused by excessive pressure. The design of the pressure relief valve 19 must ensure reliable operation even under extreme conditions. Sharing a fourth conversion tee 16 with the water purifier 4 reduces space occupation and component costs.

[0058] To prevent the heating element from being damaged by continuing to heat in a dry state, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, anti-dry-burning thermostats 20 are installed on the heating element 9 and the instant heater 12. The anti-dry-burning thermostat 20 monitors the temperature near the heating element (such as the heating tube) and immediately cuts off the power supply once an abnormally high temperature is detected (usually indicating a lack of water), protecting the heating element from damage. This safety mechanism is crucial for extending equipment life and ensuring user safety.

[0059] For precise water temperature control, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heating element 9 and the instant water heater 12 are also equipped with temperature probes 21. The temperature probes 21 monitor the water temperature in real time and feed the data back to the control system. The control system adjusts the heating power or turns the heating element on / off according to the preset water temperature range to ensure the stability and accuracy of the output water temperature, so as to provide drinking water and dishwashing water at a suitable temperature.

[0060] To control the output flow of instantaneous heater 12, refer to... Figure 4As shown, the instant water heater 12 is equipped with a flow switch 22 for controlling the output flow rate. The flow switch 22 monitors the flow rate at the outlet of the instant water heater 12 and adjusts the heating power in real time to match the actual water demand. This not only improves energy efficiency but also avoids water temperature drop due to excessive flow, ensuring the stability and comfort of the instant water supply.

[0061] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
