Bubble water dispenser with water dispenser structure

Abstract

The utility model discloses a bubble water machine with a water dispenser structure. The bubble water machine comprises a bubble main machine and a water bottle mounting seat, water flows into the ice water tank from the distribution water tank through gravity, and when the water level in the ice water tank continuously rises, air in the ice water tank flows back into the distribution water tank along the ice water tank emptying pipeline, so that gas in the ice water tank forms circulation. The air pressure in the ice water tank is higher than that of the distribution water tank due to air compression, so that water flows into the ice water tank under the action of gravity. Similarly, on the basis that the hot water tank is communicated with the distribution water tank, air circulation is formed between the hot water tank and the distribution water tank through the hot water tank emptying pipeline, and under the action of the ice water tank emptying pipeline, air parts at the tops of the ice water tank, the hot water tank and the distribution water tank are communicated, so that air pressure influence is avoided. And high-temperature steam generated when water in the hot water tank is heated also flows into the distribution water tank and the ice water tank so as to be condensed.

Description

A sparkling water machine with a water dispenser structure Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sparkling water machines, and in particular to a sparkling water machine with a water dispenser structure. Background Technology

[0002] A sparkling water machine is a device for producing sparkling water. In the prior art, to enhance the functionality of sparkling water machines, a multi-functional sparkling water machine combining the functions of a sparkling water machine and a water dispenser has emerged, as seen in the utility model patent application with patent number CN202122092846.0, entitled "Multi-functional Water Dispenser." However, in this method, the water tank arrangement is relatively simple; it merely pumps water from the main water tank into the ice water tank or hot water tank. It doesn't consider that since the ice water tank and hot water tank are essentially sealed containers, the gas in them will be compressed during the water filling process. This gas pressure affects the smoothness of the pumping process, which is why current devices of this type require multiple water pumps to deliver water. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sparkling water machine with an ice water tank, a hot water tank, and a distribution tank, which incorporates a water dispenser structure, resulting in a more rational structure and smoother water flow.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the problem is: a sparkling water machine with a water dispenser structure, including a sparkling main unit, a machine head on the sparkling main unit, a water bottle mounting base on the machine head, and further including:

[0005] A water dispenser, wherein the water dispenser is disposed on the bubble generator;

[0006] A water distribution tank is arranged on the bubble generator;

[0007] An ice water tank is arranged on the bubble generator and is lower than the distribution water tank. The ice water tank is equipped with a refrigeration component. The bottom of the ice water tank is connected to the distribution water tank. The top of the ice water tank is equipped with an ice water tank drain pipe that connects to the upper end of the distribution water tank. The bottom of the ice water tank is equipped with a cold water outlet pipe that connects to the drinking head and a water inlet pipe that connects to the water bottle mounting base. A first switch valve is installed on the cold water outlet pipe, and a third switch valve is installed on the water bottle mounting base or the water inlet pipe.

[0008] A hot water tank is arranged on the bubble generator and is lower than the distribution water tank. The hot water tank is equipped with a heating component and is connected to the bottom of the distribution water tank. The top of the hot water tank is equipped with a hot water tank drain pipe that connects to the upper end of the distribution water tank. The bottom of the hot water tank is equipped with a hot water outlet pipe that connects to the drinking water head. A second switch valve is installed on the hot water outlet pipe.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bubble generator is equipped with a first water pump, the inlet of the first water pump is connected to the bottom of the ice water tank, the outlet of the first water pump is connected to a T-junction, and the cold water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe are connected to the other two ports of the T-junction.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a first flow meter is installed between the first water pump and the tee, and a second flow meter is installed on the hot water outlet pipe.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom of the distribution tank is provided with a first water inlet and a second water inlet, the ice water tank is connected to the first water inlet through an ice water inlet pipe, and the hot water tank is connected to the second water inlet through a hot water inlet pipe.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bubble machine is detachably equipped with a main water tank, and a docking valve body is provided at the bottom of the main water tank. The bubble machine is equipped with a water inlet docking port for cooperating with the docking valve body. The bubble water machine is equipped with a second water pump, the water inlet of the second water pump is connected to the water inlet docking port, and the water outlet of the second water pump is connected to the distribution water tank through a water guide pipe.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the main water tank includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity, and a filter is provided between the upper cavity and the lower cavity.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, both the bottom of the ice water tank and the bottom of the hot water tank are connected to drain pipes, the ends of which are located on the outer surface of the bubble generator, and drain switches are provided on the drain pipes.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the bottom of the distribution tank is higher than the cold water outlet pipe, the hot water outlet pipe, the drinking head, and the water injection pipe.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper part of the distribution tank is provided with an overflow pipe that is directly connected to the water outlet.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Water flows from the distribution tank into the ice water tank by gravity. As the water level in the ice water tank rises, the air inside the ice water tank flows back into the distribution tank along the ice water tank's drain pipe, thus creating a gas circulation within the ice water tank. This prevents the air pressure inside the ice water tank from exceeding that in the distribution tank due to air compression, which would otherwise hinder the water's flow into the ice water tank under gravity. Similarly, the hot water tank, connected to the distribution tank, forms an air circulation system with it through the hot water tank's drain pipe. Furthermore, the ice water tank's drain pipe connects the air sections at the top of the ice water tank, hot water tank, and distribution tank, preventing the air pressure inside the hot water tank from exceeding that in the distribution tank and thus hindering the water's flow into the hot water tank under gravity. Moreover, the water in the hot water tank generates high-temperature steam during heating. This high-temperature steam also flows into the distribution tank and ice water tank along the hot water tank's drain pipe and the ice water tank's drain pipe, where it is condensed, thereby reducing the impact of the high-temperature steam on the air pressure in the distribution tank, ice water tank, and hot water tank.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1 to 8, a sparkling water machine with a water dispenser structure includes a sparkling main unit 10, a machine head 11 on the sparkling main unit 10, a water bottle mounting base 12 on the machine head 11, and further includes:

[0033] A drinking head 20 is arranged on the bubble generator 10;

[0034] A water distribution tank 30 is arranged on the bubble generator 10;

[0035] An ice water tank 40 is arranged on the bubble generator 10 and is lower than the distribution water tank 30. A refrigeration component is provided on the ice water tank 40. The bottom of the ice water tank 40 is connected to the distribution water tank 30. An ice water tank drain pipe 44 is provided on the top of the ice water tank 40, which is connected to the upper end of the distribution water tank 30. A cold water outlet pipe 42 connected to the drinking head 20 and a water inlet pipe 43 connected to the water bottle mounting base 12 are provided at the bottom of the ice water tank 40. A first switch valve 41 is provided on the cold water outlet pipe 42.

[0036] A hot water tank 50 is arranged on the bubble generator 10 and is lower than the distribution water tank 30. A heating element is provided on the hot water tank 50. The bottom of the hot water tank 50 is connected to the distribution water tank 30. A hot water tank drain pipe 53 is provided on the top of the hot water tank 50 and connects to the upper end of the distribution water tank 30. A hot water outlet pipe 52 is provided at the bottom of the hot water tank 50 and connects to the drinking head 20. A second switch valve 51 is provided on the hot water outlet pipe 52.

[0037] Water flows from the distribution tank 30 into the ice water tank 40 by gravity. As the water level in the ice water tank 40 rises, the air inside the ice water tank 40 flows back into the distribution tank 30 along the ice water tank vent pipe 44, thus creating a gas circulation within the ice water tank 40. This prevents air compression from causing the air pressure inside the ice water tank 40 to exceed that in the distribution tank 30, thereby hindering the flow of water into the ice water tank 40 under gravity. Similarly, the hot water tank 50, connected to the distribution tank 30, forms an air circulation with the distribution tank 30 through the hot water tank vent pipe 53. Furthermore, the ice water tank vent pipe 44 connects the air sections at the top of the ice water tank 40, hot water tank 50, and distribution tank 30, preventing air compression from causing the air pressure inside the hot water tank 50 to exceed that in the distribution tank 30, thereby hindering the flow of water into the hot water tank 50 under gravity. Furthermore, the water in the hot water tank 50 generates high-temperature steam when heated. This high-temperature steam also flows into the distribution water tank 30 and the ice water tank 40 along the hot water tank drain pipe 53 and the ice water tank drain pipe 44, where it is condensed, thereby reducing the impact of the high-temperature steam on the air pressure in the distribution water tank 30, the ice water tank 40, and the hot water tank 50.

[0038] Further optimization involves considering the pressure required for water to flow from the ice water tank 40 to the water bottle mounting base 12. To ensure water pumping, it is preferable that the aerator 10 is equipped with a first water pump 70. The inlet of the first water pump 70 is connected to the bottom of the ice water tank 40, and the outlet of the first water pump 70 is connected to a T-junction 401. The cold water outlet pipe 42 and the water inlet pipe 43 are connected to the other two ports of the T-junction 401. To facilitate the calculation of the amount of water flowing out along the drinking head 20 or the water bottle mounting base 12, it is preferable that a first flow meter 71 is installed between the first water pump 70 and the T-junction 401, and a second flow meter is installed on the hot water outlet pipe 52.

[0039] In this scheme, the preferred ice water tank drain pipe 44 includes a first fixed pipe section 31 arranged on the inner side wall of the distribution water tank 30.

[0040] In this scheme, the bottom of the distribution tank 30 is preferably provided with a first water inlet 301 and a second water inlet 302, the ice water tank 40 is connected to the first water inlet 301 through an ice water inlet pipe, and the hot water tank 50 is connected to the second water inlet 302 through a hot water inlet pipe.

[0041] In other embodiments, a third water inlet may be arranged at the bottom of the water distribution tank 30. The third water inlet is connected to a main pipe, and the end of the main pipe is provided with a first pipe communicating with the ice water tank 40 and a second pipe communicating with the hot water tank 50.

[0042] For further optimization and to facilitate water replenishment, the bubble machine 10 is preferably equipped with a detachable main water tank 60. A docking valve body 62 is located at the bottom of the main water tank 60. The bubble machine 10 has a water inlet connector 621 for engaging with the docking valve body 62. A second water pump 72 is installed on the bubble machine. The inlet of the second water pump 72 is connected to the water inlet connector 621, and the outlet of the second water pump 72 is connected to the distribution water tank 30 via a water pipe 61. Water can be poured into the main water tank 60, which can be disassembled for cleaning or refilling. The water is then pumped into the distribution water tank 30 by the second water pump 72.

[0043] To further optimize the process and remove impurities from the water, the main water tank 60 preferably includes an upper cavity 63 and a lower cavity 64, with a filter 65 disposed between the upper cavity 63 and the lower cavity 64.

[0044] Further optimization is preferred, with the bottom of the distribution tank 30 higher than the cold water outlet pipe 42, the hot water outlet pipe 52, the drinking head 20, and the water injection pipe 43. This allows the water pressure inside the distribution tank 30 to drive water to flow out along the drinking head 20 or the water bottle mounting base 12 when the first switch valve 41, the second switch valve 51, and the third switch valve 121 are opened.

[0045] Further optimization is preferred by incorporating a water level sensor 33 into the distribution tank 30, which facilitates control of the water volume in the distribution tank 30.

[0046] Further optimization is preferred, with an overflow pipe 90 directly connected to the outlet at the top of the distribution tank 30, thereby connecting the space at the top of the ice water tank 40, hot water tank 50 and distribution tank 30 directly to the outside through the overflow pipe 90, so that the air pressure of the ice water tank 40, hot water tank 50 and distribution tank 30 is always kept at the same level as the outside. Preferably, the overflow pipe 90 includes a second fixed pipe section 32 arranged on the inner side wall of the distribution tank.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
