[0039] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1 to 6The device for draining residual water includes a kettle body 100 and a housing 200. The housing 200 is equipped with a solenoid valve 210, a water pump 220, and a control board 230. The kettle body 100 is detachably connected to the housing 200. The control board 230 is electrically connected to both the solenoid valve 210 and the water pump 220. The solenoid valve 210 has a water inlet, an air inlet, and a water outlet. The water inlet of the solenoid valve 210 is connected to the water outlet of the kettle body 100, and the air inlet of the solenoid valve 210 is connected to the outside environment. The water inlet of the water pump 220 is connected to the water outlet of the solenoid valve 210 via a first pipe 310, and the water outlet of the water pump 220 is connected to a second pipe 320. The solenoid valve 210 can switch between a first mode and a second mode, wherein: when the solenoid valve 210 is in the first mode, the water inlet and water outlet of the solenoid valve 210 are open, and the air inlet of the solenoid valve 210 is closed; when the solenoid valve 210 is in the second mode, the air inlet and water outlet of the solenoid valve 210 are open, and the water inlet of the solenoid valve 210 is closed.

[0041] When brewing is required, the control panel 230 controls the solenoid valve 210 to switch to the first mode, opening the water inlet and outlet of the solenoid valve 210 and closing the air inlet. The water pump 220 starts to draw liquid from the kettle body 100. The liquid in the kettle body 100 enters the solenoid valve 210 through the water inlet and exits through the water outlet, entering the first pipe 310. The liquid in the first pipe 310 is drawn into the second pipe 320 by the operation of the water pump 220, and then discharged through the second pipe 320 into the container 180. Finally, the water pump 220 is turned off, leaving residual water in the first pipe 310 and the second pipe 320.

[0042] When it is necessary to drain the residual water, the control board 230 controls the solenoid valve 210 to switch to the second mode. The air inlet and water outlet of the solenoid valve 210 are opened, and the water inlet of the solenoid valve 210 is closed. After the water pump 220 is started, the outside gas enters the solenoid valve 210 through the air inlet and leaves the solenoid valve 210 through the water outlet and enters the first pipe 310. The residual water and gas in the first pipe 310 are drawn into the second pipe 320 by the water pump 220 and discharged through the second pipe 320. The residual water in the second pipe 320 is also discharged, so that the residual water in the first pipe 310 and the second pipe 320 is emptied.

[0043] This device, capable of draining residual water, can remove residual water from the pipes, ensuring that the first pipe 310 and the second pipe 320 remain dry. This effectively prevents bacterial growth caused by residual water in the pipes, cutting off the humid environment needed by harmful microorganisms. Furthermore, it prevents fresh warm water from mixing with residual water, thus avoiding any impact on the water temperature and ensuring accurate outlet water temperature.

[0044] Preferably, the control board 230 can be a single circuit board, or it can be composed of two or more circuit boards connected by an electrical connection assembly.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 200 is equipped with a first coupler 240, and the kettle body 100 is equipped with a second coupler 110. The first coupler 240 and the second coupler 110 can be plugged into each other to connect the kettle body 100 and the housing 200. The first coupler 240 is electrically connected to the control board 230. The cooperative design of the first coupler 240 and the second coupler 110 enables quick assembly and disassembly of the kettle body 100 and the housing 200, facilitating separate cleaning and maintenance of the kettle body 100 and the housing 200, while ensuring the stability and safety of the electrical connection.

[0046] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The kettle body 100 is equipped with a temperature sensor 120, which is electrically connected to a second coupler 110. The temperature sensor 120's probe is inserted into the kettle body 100. The probe is encapsulated in food-grade stainless steel and sealed to the kettle body 100 with a silicone sealing ring for waterproofing, eliminating the risk of leakage. The temperature sensor 120 is used to detect the water temperature inside the kettle body 100. Preferably, the kettle body 100 is equipped with a heating element 130, located at the bottom of the kettle body 100, and the second coupler 110 is electrically connected to the heating element 130. The control board 230 can be electrically connected to the heating element 130 via the first coupler 240 and the second coupler 110, thereby controlling the heating element 130 to heat the water inside the kettle body 100. Combined with the temperature sensor 120, this allows the water inside the kettle body 100 to be precisely heated to a specified temperature. The electrical connection between the heating element 130 and the second coupler 110 uses high-temperature resistant silver alloy contacts to ensure stable high-current transmission. In addition, the integrated design of the heating element 130 and the kettle body 100 avoids the common water leakage problem of separate heating plates.

[0047] Preferably, the water pump 220 is a diaphragm water pump 220, the diaphragm of which is made of food-grade silicone material, and its pump chamber is physically separated from the drive motor by an isolation chamber. The control board 230 has a built-in flow control algorithm, which dynamically controls the stroke frequency of the diaphragm water pump 220 by adjusting the PWM duty cycle based on the user-set target value of water output, and forms a closed-loop control system with the temperature sensor 120 and the solenoid valve 210 to accurately control the pumping volume.

[0048] Preferred, refer to Figure 6The heating element 130 is tubular, and its two ends extend circumferentially along the kettle body 100, making it curved. This increases the contact area between the heating element 130 and the kettle body 100, thereby increasing heating efficiency. Combined with a coupler power supply, it achieves rapid heating, avoids localized overheating, improves energy utilization, achieves uniform heating, prevents cold spots at the bottom of the kettle body 100, and ensures consistent water temperature.

[0049] Preferably, a heating plate 140 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the kettle body 100, and the upper side of the heating element 130 is attached to the lower end face of the heating plate 140. The close contact between the heating plate 140 and the heating element 130 enhances heat conduction efficiency, reduces heat loss, avoids the risk of dry burning, and improves heating safety. The heating element is made of nickel-chromium alloy and covered with a ceramic insulation layer, which ensures both thermal efficiency and compliance with electrical safety standards. From a manufacturing process perspective, the tubular structure is bonded to the metal layer at the bottom of the kettle through a brazing process, which improves heat conduction efficiency and enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for long-term high-temperature and high-humidity environments.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 3 The kettle body 100 includes a kettle body 151 and a base 152. The kettle body 151 is located above the base 152, and the kettle body 151 and the base 152 are fixedly connected by bolts. A second coupler 110 is installed on the base 152, and the inner cavity of the kettle body 151 forms a water storage chamber. The split structure simplifies the manufacturing process, facilitates disassembly and cleaning, and at the same time, the electrical components are centrally arranged on the base 152, reducing the risk of water leakage.

[0051] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The device for draining residual water also includes a third pipe 330, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the water storage chamber, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of the solenoid valve 210. It is understood that the third pipe 330 is directly connected to the water storage chamber, and the water in the third pipe 330 is not residual water.

[0052] Preferably, the first pipe 310, the second pipe 320 and the third pipe 330 are all made of food-grade silicone tubing, food-grade PP tubing or stainless steel tubing.

[0053] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the kettle body 100 also includes a kettle lid 160, which is located above the kettle body 151 and is detachably connected to the kettle body 151. The detachable kettle lid 160 facilitates the filling of water into the kettle body 151 or the cleaning of the inner cavity of the kettle body 151.

[0054] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the kettle body 100 is provided with a handle 170, which is fixedly installed on the outer peripheral wall of the kettle body 100. The ergonomic handle design improves grip stability, facilitates the separation of the kettle body 100 from the shell 200, and reduces the risk of burns during use.
