[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 4 A water dispenser with cup sterilization function includes a small water dispenser body 1, a water pump 2 and a water inlet 3 on the water dispenser body 1. A slider 19 is slidably provided at the bottom of the water dispenser body 1, passing through one side of the water dispenser body 1. The slider 19 is provided with an interface 20 that can be sealed with a water bottle. The bottom of the free end of the slider 19 is provided with a support foot. A flexible water inlet pipe 21 is provided between the bottom of the interface 20 and the input end of the water pump 2. The output end of the water pump 2 is provided with a water outlet pipe 22. The other end of the water outlet pipe 22 is rotatably and sealingly connected to the water inlet 3. The top of the water dispenser body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 23 that cooperates with the water outlet. The connection end of the water inlet 3 and the water outlet pipe 22 is hinged to the top of the receiving groove 23 by a torsion spring.
[0022] The water dispenser body 1, water pump 2, receiving tank 23, water inlet 3, slider 19, water inlet pipe 21, water outlet pipe 22 and water outlet pipe 22 are designed to accommodate the water inlet 3 in the receiving tank 23, making it convenient for each component to be compactly arranged.
[0023] When needed, separate the cup 4 from the water dispenser body 1. The water spout 3 pops out from the receiving groove 23 under the action of the torsion spring, making it easy to fill with water. Then pull out the slider 19 to expose the interface 20. Next, seal the water bottle with the interface 20 to complete the connection of the water bottle and make it easy to fill with water. By starting the water pump 2, the water pump 2 will pump the water in the water bottle through the inlet pipe 21 and the outlet pipe 22 in sequence, and finally out through the water spout 3.
[0024] A heating wire that can control the temperature of the water outlet can also be installed on the outside of the water outlet pipe 22 to improve its practicality.
[0025] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 The top of the water dispenser body 1 is fitted with a cup 4, which is detachably connected to the water dispenser body 1. The top of the water dispenser body 1 is provided with a first limiting block 17 at the air inlet channel 10 to prevent water from being discharged after the cup 4 is inverted from entering the air inlet channel 10 and reducing the drying efficiency. The bottom inner side wall of the cup 4 is provided with a second limiting block 18. The first limiting block 17 and the second limiting block 18 are both inclined in the same direction. The second limiting block 18 passes through the gap between the first limiting blocks 17 and rotates to cooperate with the first limiting block 17 to achieve the limiting.
[0026] After aligning the second limiting block 18 with the gap between the first limiting block 17, rotate it vertically downwards until the bottom of the second limiting block 18 is lower than the top of the first limiting block 17, and the second limiting block 18 cooperates with the first limiting block 17 to achieve the limiting.
[0027] Combined with appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 The water dispenser body 1 has a first cavity 5 at its top. The first cavity 5 contains a drying component 6 that can accelerate the drying of the inner wall of the cup 4. The drying component 6 includes an electric heating wire 8 and a fan 9 located in the first cavity 5. The bottom wall of the first cavity 5 has an air inlet channel 10, and the other end of the air inlet channel 10 passes through the water dispenser body 1. The top wall of the first cavity 5 has a one-way valve 11 that can be opened by the cup 4. The one-way valve 11 includes a through hole 12 that passes through the first cavity 5 and has a stepped structure. The bottom end of the through hole 12 has a conical hole 13. A drive rod 14 passes through the through hole 12. The bottom end of the drive rod 14 extends into the first cavity 5 and has a conical block 15 at its end that can seal with the conical hole 13. A spring 16 is provided between the conical block 15 and the through hole 12.
[0028] When the second limiting block 18 rotates and engages with the first limiting block 17, the inner top wall of the cup 4 exerts a downward force on the drive rod 14, causing the drive rod 14 to move downward, the spring 16 to stretch and store energy, and the conical block 15 no longer seals with the conical hole 13.
[0029] In practical implementation, a switch can be provided below the conical block 15. When the drive rod 14 moves the conical block 15 down a certain distance, the conical block 15 drives the switch to open automatically. The switch drives the fan 9 and the heating wire 8 to turn on automatically. The fan 9 drives the external air to be introduced into the first cavity 5 through the air inlet channel 10. Then, the air heated by the heating wire 8 is introduced into the inside of the cup 4 through the gap between the through hole 12 and the drive rod 14. Finally, it is discharged through the gap between the cup 4 and the top of the water dispenser body 1, forming a circulation.
[0030] Combined with appendix Figure 4 The top side wall of the water dispenser body 1 is evenly arrayed with several ultraviolet lamps 7 that can disinfect and sterilize the inner wall of the cup 4; the ultraviolet lamps 7 can effectively destroy microorganisms, thereby achieving the purpose of sterilization.
[0031] Combined with appendix Figure 4 The top wall of the water dispenser body 1 is provided with a control panel 24, which is electrically connected to the fan 9, heating wire 8, ultraviolet lamp 7 and water pump 2. A battery chamber or power connection component can be added to the water dispenser body 1 to facilitate power supply to the device.
