Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a countertop water dispenser includes a water dispenser body 1, a first water tank 5 placed on the water dispenser body 1, a second water tank 2 connected to the top of the first water tank 5, a tube 15 provided on the second water tank 2, the tube 15 being inserted into and communicating with the first water tank 5, a slot 8 opened on the side end of the second water tank 2, a slot seat 17 inserted into the slot 8, the slot seat 17 being slidably connected to a side seat 4 on the side wall of the water dispenser body 1, a push bracket 21 being connected to the input direction of the slot seat 17, and the push bracket 21 being connected to a button 3 outside the side seat 4.

[0021] By installing a first water tank 5 and a second water tank 2 on the water dispenser body 1, with the first water tank 5 and the second water tank 2 arranged vertically, when installing the second water tank 2, the insertion tube 15 is inserted into the connecting tube 6. As the second water tank 2 is laid flat, the connecting tube 6 will extend into the second water tank 2, thereby opening the top seat 9, so that the second water tank 2 can communicate with the first water tank 5, and the water can flow into the first water tank 5. The cooperation between the first water tank 5 and the second water tank 2 can increase the water storage capacity of the water dispenser, thereby reducing the frequency of water changes and bringing convenience to the user.

[0022] The top of the first water tank 5 is equipped with a connecting pipe 6, and a leak 7 is provided on the side wall of the connecting pipe 6. The leak 7 is installed through the connecting pipe 6. When the second water tank 2 is placed, the connecting pipe 6 will extend into the insertion pipe 15. After the connecting pipe 6 extends into the second water tank 2, it can lift the top seat 9, and the water can enter the first water tank 5 through the leak 7 on the connecting pipe 6, thereby realizing the flow of water.

[0023] The insertion tube 15 of the second water tank 2 is inserted into the connecting pipe 6. A top seat 9 is inserted into the port of the insertion tube 15 inside the second water tank 2. A movable bracket 12 is provided on the side wall of the top seat 9, and a movable plate 14 is provided at the other end of the movable bracket 12. With the top seat 9 in its initial state, it will be inserted into the position of the insertion tube 15, thereby blocking the insertion tube 15 and preventing the second water tank 2 from leaking. After the second water tank 2 is installed on the water dispenser, it will be unsealed by the push of the connecting pipe 6, and the water can flow.

[0024] A guide rod 11 is provided at the position of the second water tank 2 corresponding to the movable plate 14. The movable plate 14 is slidably connected to the guide rod 11, and a baffle 10 is provided at the upper end of the guide rod 11. The guide rod 11 can restrict the movable plate 14 and the movable frame 12. When the movable frame 12 is connected to the top seat 9, the top seat 9 will move simultaneously with the movable frame 12. After the top seat 9 is pushed upward, the movable frame 12 moves along the guide rod 11 through the movable plate 14, thereby compressing the first spring 13. After it is no longer pushed, the first spring 13 can push the movable frame 12 back to its original position, and the top seat 9 can be inserted into the insertion tube 15 again.

[0025] A first spring 13 is sleeved on the guide rod 11 between the baffle 10 and the movable plate 14, and one end of the first spring 13 is hooked onto the baffle 10. The baffle 10 can restrict the first spring 13 and prevent the first spring 13 from dislodging.

[0026] An inner groove 16 is provided in the side seat 4. A T-shaped card seat 17 is slidably connected to the side wall of the inner groove 16. A crossbar 18 is slidably connected to the side wall of the card seat 17. A second spring 19 is sleeved on the crossbar 18. One end of the second spring 19 is hooked to the side wall of the inner groove 16, and the other end of the second spring 19 is hooked to the side wall of the card seat 17. By setting the card holder 17, the card holder 17 can be inserted into the slot 8, thus restricting the second water tank 2 and achieving stable installation. The card holder 17 is located in the inner groove 16, and the inner groove 16 is equipped with a pusher 21. The output end of the pusher 21 is connected to the card holder 17, and the input end of the pusher 21 is connected to the push plate 3. The push plate 3 is located outside the side seat 4. When the pusher 21 is pushed by the push plate 3, the pusher 21 moves up, thereby pushing the card holder 17, which will retract into the inner groove 16, and the second water tank 2 can be removed. When the pusher 21 moves away from the card holder 17, the second spring 19 on the side wall of the card holder 17 can pull the card holder 17 in the opposite direction. Under the guidance of the crossbar 18, the card holder 17 can extend out of the inner groove 16, thereby connecting with the slot 8.

[0027] The inner groove 16 is equipped with a limiting seat 20, and a pusher 21 is slidably connected to the limiting seat 20. The pusher 21 is generally L-shaped, and the output end of the pusher 21 is triangular, with the inclined surface of the output end of the pusher 21 facing the side wall of the card seat 17. The card seat 17 can be pushed by the pusher 21, and the limiting seat 20 can restrict the pusher 21, so that the pusher 21 can move up and down stably.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] When using the water dispenser, first place the first water tank 5 on the water dispenser body 1, and then place the second water tank 2. When placing the second water tank 2, align the insertion tube 15 with the connecting tube 6, and simultaneously push the button 3. The second water tank 2 will then be placed on the water dispenser body 1. After placement, release the button 3, and the slot 17 will be inserted into the slot 8, allowing the second water tank 2 to be placed stably. After the second water tank 2 is placed on the first water tank 5, the connecting tube 6 extends into the insertion tube 15. The connecting tube 6 will eventually push up the top seat 9, and the outlet 7 of the connecting tube 6 will be inside the second water tank 2, thus achieving communication with the second water tank 2. The cooperation between the first water tank 5 and the second water tank 2 can increase the water storage capacity, reduce the frequency of water changes, and bring convenience to the user.
