[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-flow direct drinking water dispenser for public places, including a main body 1, a plurality of water outlet interfaces 2 on the main body 1, and a protective component 3 below the water outlet interfaces 2; the protective component 3 includes a plurality of side baffles 31, each water outlet interface 2 is disposed between two sets of side baffles 31, and a protective plate 32 is disposed between the two sets of side baffles 31. The protective plate 32 is installed in the upper cavity of the side baffles 31 by springs 33 at its two upper ends. The protective plate 32 is in close contact with the water outlet interface 2, and a rubber pad is located in the middle of the protective plate 32. The water outlet interface 2 is recessed in the rubber pad in the middle of the protective plate 32.

[0023] By setting the protective component 3, effective protection can be achieved at the water outlet 2. The rubber pad in the middle of the protective plate 32 tightly wraps the recessed water outlet 2, and when not in use, the spring 33 keeps the protective plate 32 tightly against the interface, forming a closed structure to prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the interior of the water outlet 2.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The upper part of the protective plate 32 has an integral structure above the springs 33 on both sides, and the positioning plate 34 is connected to it. The positioning plate 34 has a screw hole. The protective plate 32 and the springs 33 are installed on the two sets of side baffles 31 through the positioning plate 34. The protective component 3 also includes a guide post 35. The guide post 35 is installed in the side cavity of the side baffle 31 and is connected through the protective plate 32, the springs 33 and the positioning plate 34. The upper end of the guide post 35 passes through the side baffle 31, and the bottom of the guide post 35 is provided with a threaded structure 351. The guide post 35 is installed in the side baffle 31 in a spiral manner.

[0025] If the protective component 3 needs to be replaced or cleaned, the guide post 35 can be removed from the side baffle 31 by rotating the threaded structure 351 at the bottom of the guide post 35. Then, the positioning plate 34 can be removed from the side baffle 31 by using a disassembly tool. The protective plate 32, spring 33 and positioning plate 34 can then be taken out for maintenance.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 An auxiliary handle 36 is provided on one side of the protective plate 32. The auxiliary handle 36 is inserted into a slot 321 opened on one side of the protective plate 32.

[0027] Due to long-term use, water stains or dirt may remain on the edges of the protective plate 32. The auxiliary handle 36 is used in conjunction to avoid direct contact with the edges of the protective plate 32, thereby improving the hygiene of operation. At the same time, the insertable auxiliary handle 36 also facilitates subsequent cleaning work.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The lower end of the water dispenser body 1 is provided with a collection chamber 11, which is connected to the collection trough 4 below and is separated from the other by a cover plate 5. The cover plate 5 is hinged to the cavity wall of the collection chamber 11 by a torsion spring.

[0029] When using drinking fountains in public places, users often need to empty wastewater, tea leaves, etc. This design provides a dedicated storage space, so users do not need to leave the drinking fountain to find a trash can. They can simply open the cover 5 to pour the wastewater and residue into the collection tank 4, which greatly simplifies the operation process, saves users time, and improves the user experience.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The collection tank 4 has an integrated pull-out handle 41 on one side.

[0031] When in use, the user approaches the water dispenser and gently pulls the auxiliary handle 36 on one side of the protective plate 32, causing it to overcome the elasticity of the spring 33 and pull the protective plate 32 downwards. At this time, the protective plate 32 moves vertically downwards. After the rubber pad in the middle of the protective plate 32 disengages from the water outlet 2 a certain distance, the user aligns the water cup with the area below the water outlet 2 and presses the faucet switch (not shown in the figure). A large flow of water flows out from the water outlet 2. If it is necessary to pour out tea leaves or other residues in the cup during the water dispensing process, the user can gently press the cover 5 at the collection chamber 11. The cover 5 will flip upwards around the hinge axis to open the collection chamber. The passage between cavity 11 and collection tank 4 allows the user to pour residue into collection tank 4 and then release cover 5. The torsion spring drives cover 5 to automatically reset and close, preventing odor from overflowing. After water is collected, the user releases auxiliary handle 36. The elastic restoring force of spring 33 causes protective plate 32 to slide upward along guide post 35 until the rubber pad tightly wraps the water outlet 2 again, forming a dustproof and foreign object-proof sealing structure. When it is necessary to clean collection tank 4, the user simply pulls pull handle 41 to pull collection tank 4 out from the bottom of water dispenser body 1, pours out wastewater and residue, and then pushes it back to its original position.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
