Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drinking water device technology, specifically including a foldable water dispenser, a vehicle-mounted water dispenser, and a car. Background Technology
[0002] Water dispensers are everyday household items. One type of portable water dispenser uses a spout that can rotate relative to the main body of the dispenser. When the dispenser is not in use, the spout can be folded and stored in the main body. When the dispenser is needed, the spout can be folded and unfolded.
[0003] However, when this type of single-arm folding water dispenser is placed in a limited space inside a vehicle, such as inside the central control box, the rotation trajectory of the water dispenser is fixed due to the arm length of the single-arm folding mechanism and the single-axis rotation folding method. The length of the water dispenser that matches the inner cavity of the control box is limited. When unfolding to dispense water, the range of movement of the water dispenser is restricted, the space in the central control box is not effectively utilized, it is not convenient for users to dispense water in the vehicle, and the space utilization rate is low. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the technical problem that this utility model aims to solve is that the single-arm folding structure used in portable water dispensers in related technologies is limited by the length of the single arm and the single-axis rotation folding method, which restricts the movement range of the water outlet and causes inconvenience for users to get water.
[0005] A foldable water dispenser is provided, comprising a housing, a heating assembly, and a water dispensing assembly. The water dispensing assembly includes a water dispensing pipe, the inlet end of which is connected to the water source interface of the water dispenser at least through the heating assembly, and the water dispensing pipe is at least partially located within the inner cavity of the water dispensing assembly. The water dispensing assembly includes at least a first mounting member and a second mounting member. The first mounting member has a first end and a second end that are relatively distributed along its length, and the second mounting member has a third end and a fourth end that are relatively distributed along its length. The first end is rotatably connected to the housing about a first axis, and the second end and the third end are rotatably connected about a second axis.
[0006] The water dispenser includes at least a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first mounting component and the second mounting component are respectively folded and arranged with the housing, and the height of the water outlet in the height direction of the housing is a first height. In the second state, the height of the water outlet in the height direction of the housing is a second height, and the second height is greater than the first height.
[0007] The foldable water dispenser provided in this application, on the one hand, includes at least a first mounting component and a second mounting component in the water dispensing assembly. The first mounting component is rotatably connected to the housing, and the first mounting component and the second mounting component are rotatably connected, so that the water dispenser has a dual-position folding capability. In the first state, the first mounting component and the second mounting component are respectively folded to the housing to achieve a compression effect in three-dimensional space, so that the overall structure of the water dispenser in the first state tends to be flat and compact, which can adapt to various storage spaces and is convenient to carry or store.
[0008] On the other hand, the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe is located at the fourth end of the second mounting component. In the second state, the height of the water outlet end in the height direction of the housing is raised from the first height to the second height. This switching between low-position storage and high-position water intake allows the water outlet end to move a greater distance, avoiding interference from the dashboard or other interior components in the vehicle, making it convenient for users to take water in the vehicle. Compared with the single-arm folding in related technologies, the double-arm folding water outlet end in this utility model can be higher and farther in the unfolded state, without relying on an extended arm.
[0009] This application also provides a vehicle-mounted water dispenser, including the aforementioned foldable water dispenser. The shape of the water dispenser is adapted to the inner wall of the central control box of the vehicle. The water dispenser is limited, fixedly connected, or integrally designed with the central control box, so that the water dispenser can be at least partially placed inside the cavity of the central control box. The central control box has a cup holder, which is fixedly connected, limited, or integrally designed with the housing or the central control box.
[0010] The vehicle-mounted water dispenser of this application has two main advantages. First, the shape of the water dispenser is adapted to the inner wall of the central control box. Due to the double-foldable design of the first and second mounting parts, the overall structure of the water dispenser in the first state tends to be flat and compact, which can adapt to various storage spaces and is convenient for storage in the limited space of the vehicle's central control box. Second, the water dispenser is limited, fixedly connected, or integrated with the central control box, allowing the water dispenser to be at least partially placed inside the central control box. The central control box has a cup holder, which is fixedly connected, limited, or integrated with the housing or the central control box. The central control box is used to hide and limit the water dispenser, stabilizing its storage in various vehicle states and improving safety performance.
[0011] This application also provides an automobile, including the aforementioned foldable water dispenser, power conversion module, and central control box. In at least a second state, the power interface of the water dispenser is electrically connected to the power conversion module. The water dispenser is at least partially located inside the central control box. The water dispenser is limitedly connected, fixedly connected, or integrally designed with the central control box. The water dispenser is located in the central area between the driver's seat and the passenger seat of the automobile.
[0012] In this application, the water dispenser is at least partially located within the central control box cavity. The water dispenser is either limitedly connected, fixedly connected, or integrated with the central control box. The water dispenser is located in the central area between the driver's seat and the passenger seat of the vehicle. The vehicle comes with a foldable water dispenser, which can effectively utilize the interior space such as the central control box to store and limit or fix the foldable water dispenser. Due to the double-foldable design of the first and second mounting components, the overall structure of the water dispenser in the first state tends to be flat and compact, which can adapt to various storage spaces and is convenient to store in the limited space of the vehicle's central control box, ensuring the safe storage of the water dispenser in various states of the vehicle. On the other hand, by electrically connecting the power interface of the water dispenser to the power conversion module at least in the second state, the vehicle can directly power the water dispenser without the need for an external power source.

[0048] refer to Figures 1 to 9 The foldable water dispenser 100 includes a housing 10, a water outlet assembly 20, and a water source interface 91. The housing 10 has length, width, and height. The water outlet assembly 20 includes a water outlet pipe 201. The water inlet end 202 of the water outlet pipe 201 is connected to the water source interface 91 of the water dispenser at least through a heating assembly 30. The water outlet pipe 201 is at least partially located in the inner cavity of the water outlet assembly 20, and the inner cavity of the water outlet assembly 20 is connected to the inner cavity of the housing 10. The water inlet end of the heating assembly 30 is connected to the water source interface 91 of the water dispenser 100, and the water outlet end of the heating assembly 30 is connected to the water inlet end 202 of the water outlet pipe 201. The heating assembly 30 can heat the water flowing in from the water source interface 91 in a timely manner and let it flow to the water outlet end 203 through the water outlet pipe 201, so that the user can take water.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, reference is made to Figure 19 , Figure 19This is a schematic diagram of the heating component of a water dispenser in one embodiment of the present application. The heating component 30 uses a heating tube 31 as a heating element. A nano-electrothermal film is provided on the outer surface of the heating tube 31. The heating component 30 is located inside the housing 10 and has a water flow channel.
[0050] The water outlet assembly 20 includes at least a first mounting member 21 and a second mounting member 22. The first mounting member 21 has a first end 21a and a second end 21b that are relatively distributed along its length. The second mounting member 22 has a third end 22a and a fourth end 22b that are relatively distributed along its length. The first end 21a of the first mounting member 21 is rotatably connected to the housing 10 about a first axis L1. The second end 21b of the first mounting member 21 and the third end 22a of the second mounting member 22 are rotatably connected about a second axis L2. The water outlet end 203 of the water outlet pipe 201 is located at the fourth end 22b, and the water outlet end 203 of the water outlet pipe 201 faces the first mounting member 21. The inner cavity of the first mounting member 21, the inner cavity of the second mounting member 22, and the inner cavity of the housing 10 are connected, allowing the water outlet pipe 201 to pass through them. Among them, the first end 21a, the second end 21b, the third end 22a, and the fourth end 22b are not limited to the two top ends in the length direction of the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22, but can be the area of each end within 1 / 3 of the length direction of the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 from the top end.
[0051] The water dispenser 100 includes at least a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are folded with the housing 10. The water outlet 203 has a first height in the height H direction of the housing 10 in the first state. In the second state, the water outlet assembly 20 is at least partially unfolded relative to the housing 10. The water outlet 203 has a second height in the height direction of the housing 10, which is greater than the first height. This arrangement allows for several advantages. First, since the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 can rotate around the first axis L1 and the second axis L2 respectively, a dual-position folding arrangement can be achieved. The synergy of the dual folds can bring about a compression effect in three-dimensional space, making the overall structure of the water dispenser 100 in the first state more flat and compact, convenient to carry or store, and with high space utilization. Second, the water outlet 203 is located at the fourth end 22b of the second mounting member 22. Compared to a simple single-arc folding design of the water outlet rod, the water outlet assembly 20 can move a greater distance and has a more flexible spatial angle range, making it more convenient for users to obtain water, even within a limited space.
[0052] It is worth noting that the first state is the water dispenser in its fully folded and stored state; the second state is the water dispenser in its unfolded and working state; of course, in some embodiments, the water dispenser in its second state has at least a water dispensing position and a cup taking position, and may also have other positions.
[0053] In the first state, the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are folded together. In a specific embodiment, the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are respectively arranged parallel to the housing 10 and abut against the surface of the housing 10. In the second state, the first mounting member is unfolded relative to the housing by a first angle α, and the second mounting member is unfolded relative to the first mounting member by a second angle β, and α+β>90°. This arrangement can ensure that the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 work at a suitable angle, which is convenient for users to take water and makes the standard working state of the water dispenser 100 meet the comfort of users.
[0054] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The second state of the water dispenser 100 has a water outlet position and a cup-taking position. In the cup-taking position, the height of the water outlet 203 in the height direction of the housing 10 is a fourth height H4. Since the water outlet 203 needs to be close to the cup to improve safety when used in a car, so as to avoid water splashing when dispensing water. In the water outlet position, the height of the water outlet in the height direction of the housing is a third height H3. In order to avoid interference when taking out the cup, H4>H3 is satisfied. Or, in a specific embodiment, in the water outlet position, the angle between the center line of the first mounting member 21 and the horizontal direction is γ1, and in the cup-taking position, the angle between the center line of the first mounting member and the horizontal direction is γ2, satisfying that γ1 is greater than γ2. In a specific embodiment, in the cup-taking position, the second mounting member 22 is located in the upper surface extension area of the housing 10. After the user has finished dispensing water, to facilitate removing the cup from below the water outlet, the water dispenser 100 can be switched from the water dispensing position to the cup removal position. The second mounting member 22 can be raised further upwards to provide sufficient space for cup removal. Alternatively, without changing the position of the second mounting member 22 relative to the first mounting member 21, the first mounting member 21 can be rotated closer to the housing 10, causing the water outlet 203 to move away from above the cup for easier removal. Of course, both the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 can be moved simultaneously, allowing the entire water dispensing assembly 20 to be moved away for easy cup removal.
[0055] In this embodiment, the first axis L1 and the second axis L2 are parallel to each other. In the first state, the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are also parallel to each other, resulting in a good space compression effect. It can be seen that when the first axis L1 and the second axis L2 are perpendicular to each other, the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 can be used for folding adaptation designs of irregularly shaped storage cavities. For example, in the square shell 10, the receiving cavity is approximately L-shaped. (Refer to...) Figure 23 .
[0056] In one specific embodiment, in the second state, the angle between the second mounting member 22 and the length direction of the housing 10 is an acute angle. Furthermore, the water outlet assembly 20 roughly presents a “7” or “T” shaped structure. The second mounting member 22 with the water outlet end 203 is horizontally set to facilitate water intake for the user and can maintain a certain degree of stability.
[0057] In one specific embodiment, the first mounting member 21 is rotatably connected to the housing 10 via a first folding mechanism 41, and the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are rotatably connected via a second folding mechanism 42. The first folding mechanism 41 and the second folding mechanism 42 achieve stable locking of the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 in a first state and a second state, respectively. The first folding mechanism 41 and the second folding mechanism 42 can be a snap-fit hinge structure or a pivot type; no limitation is made here.
[0058] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The housing 10 has a receiving groove 101. The groove wall of the receiving groove 101 is adapted to the shape of the water outlet assembly 20. The receiving groove 101 extends through the length of the housing 10. Accordingly, the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 can extend or be bent back along the length of the housing 10. In the first state, the water outlet component 20 is at least partially located in the receiving tank 101, and the length directions of the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are parallel to the length direction of the housing 10. In the second state, at least the first mounting member 21 is located outside the receiving tank 101. The receiving tank 101 can accommodate the water outlet component 20 in the first state of the water dispenser 100, so that the water dispenser 100 has a flat structure in the first state, which is convenient to carry or store. At the same time, when the user does not need to take water, in the first state, the water outlet 203 is also hidden in the receiving tank 101. All sides of the water outlet 203 are blocked by the tank wall or the wall of the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22, which can further effectively hide the water outlet 203 when the user does not take water, thereby avoiding its contamination from the outside and effectively improving the hygiene of the water outlet of the water dispenser 100.
[0059] In one specific embodiment, the housing 10 includes a fourth groove 103, which communicates with the receiving groove 101 to facilitate the user's gripping of the first mounting member 21. Referring to the figure, the fourth groove 103 is a semi-circular arc-shaped groove that fits the shape of the user's finger for easy operation.
[0060] In one specific embodiment, the housing 10 further includes a water source placement position 90, which is connected to a water source interface 91. The water source placement position 90 can be adapted to the shape of a common water bottle opening. In other specific embodiments, the water source placement position 90 can hold a water tank. The specific water source container is not limited, and the structure and position of the water source placement position 90 can be adaptively adjusted and designed. In this embodiment, the water source placement position 90 is located on the upper surface of the housing 10.
[0061] Further, refer to Figures 1 to 8 The first shaft 414 is connected to the housing 10. The side wall 21c of the first mounting member 21 extends outward with a retractable first engaging portion 411. The wall of the receiving groove 101 is provided with a first limiting portion 413 and a second limiting portion 412. The perpendicular line from the first limiting portion to the first shaft 414 is parallel to the length direction of the housing. In a specific embodiment, refer to... Figure 5 The first limiting part 413 and the second limiting part 412 are respectively the first limiting hole 413a and the second limiting hole 412a, or refer to Figure 8 In other embodiments, the first limiting part 413 and the second limiting part 412 are respectively the first limiting groove 413b and the second limiting groove; there are two first limiting holes 413a, which are aligned with the first mounting member 21 as the center line, and there are also two second limiting holes 412a, which are aligned with the first mounting member 21 as the center; the center of the first limiting hole 413a and the center of the second limiting hole 412a are equidistant from the first axis L1, and the opening direction of the first limiting hole 413a is parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the first engaging part 411. In the first state, the first engaging part 411 is engaged with the hole wall of the first limiting hole 413a; in the second state, the first engaging part 411 is engaged with the hole wall of the second limiting hole 412a. With this configuration, when the first mounting member 21 rotates, the first engaging part 411 can be engaged with the first limiting hole 413a and the second limiting hole 412a respectively, thus stabilizing the position of the water outlet component 20.
[0062] Furthermore, the first engaging portion 411 includes a first elastic member 81, or in a specific embodiment, the first engaging portion 411 includes a first cap 81a containing the first elastic member 81. The first cap 81a can provide a certain support for the first elastic member 81 and prevent the first elastic member 81 from deforming to a certain extent.
[0063] It is worth noting that the first limiting part 413 and the second limiting part 412 can also be configured as a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove, or in some other embodiments, the first limiting part 413 and the second limiting part 412 can be configured as retractable elastic caps. In this case, the first engaging part 411 can be designed as a hole or a groove, as long as the first engaging part 411 of the first mounting member 21 can be connected to the first limiting part 413 and the second limiting part 412 respectively.
[0064] With this configuration, the first mounting member 21 can rotate between the first limiting part 413 and the second limiting part 412, thereby switching the relative position of the first mounting member 21 and the housing 10 in the first state and the second state, respectively. At the same time, the first limiting part 413 and the second limiting part 412 can respectively limit the position of the first mounting member 21 in the first state and the second state, stabilizing the position of the first mounting member 21. The first limiting part 413 can prevent the first mounting member 21 from popping away from the housing 10 in the first state, and the second limiting part 412 can prevent the first mounting member 21 from tipping over in the second state.
[0065] In some other embodiments, the housing 10 also has a first stop surface 415, in which the first mounting member 21 contacts the first stop surface 415, the first stop surface 415 being inclined or perpendicular to the upper surface of the housing 10. Specifically, refer to Figure 9 The first stop surface 415 is located on the side wall of the receiving groove 101 in the width direction. The first stop surface 415 can prevent the first mounting part 21 from tipping over in the second state, thereby stabilizing the position of the water outlet assembly 20.
[0066] It is worth noting that when the first mounting member 21 contacts the first stop surface 415, the angle between the centerline of the first mounting member 21 and the length direction of the housing 10 is an obtuse angle, which can be referred to as... Figure 1 The first stop surface 415 and the second limiting part 412 can be designed selectively. Furthermore, in order to stabilize the position of the first mounting member 21 or even the entire water outlet assembly 20, the first stop surface 415 and the second limiting part 412 can also coexist. In some embodiments, when the first mounting member 21 is in contact with the first stop surface 415 in the second state, the first engaging part 411 is also engaged with the second limiting part 412 for limiting. In other embodiments, the second state of the water dispenser 100 has a water outlet position and a cup-taking position. In the water outlet position, the first engaging part 411 is engaged with the second limiting part 412 for limiting. Further, the first engaging part 411 disengages from the second limiting part 412 and continues to tilt outward of the housing 10 until the first mounting member 21 is in stable contact with the first stop surface 415. At this time, the water dispenser 100 is in the cup-taking position.
[0067] The rotatable connection between the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 will be described in detail below.

[0069] refer to Figures 10 to 16 In one specific embodiment, the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are rotatably connected by a second folding mechanism 42. The second folding mechanism 42 includes a pivot positioning part 421, which is limitedly connected to the first mounting member 21. In this embodiment, the pivot positioning part 421 has annularly distributed third grooves 421b at one end along its axial direction. The third grooves 421b are limitedly engaged with the third protrusions 221b of the second mounting member 21, so that the pivot positioning part 421 can rotate synchronously with the first mounting member 21, and the pivot positioning part 421 can move along the second axis L2. It can be seen that in some other embodiments, the pivot positioning part 421 has annularly distributed protrusions, and the first mounting member 21 has annular grooves.
[0070] refer to Figures 13 to 16 The pivot positioning part 421 has a first protrusion 421a at its other end along its axial direction. The second folding mechanism 42 includes a shaft-shaped base 211, which can be limited, fixedly connected, or integrally formed with the first mounting member 21, so that the first mounting member 21 and the shaft-shaped base 211 remain relatively stationary. The first protrusion 421a faces the shaft-shaped base 211, and the shaft-shaped base 211 has a circumferentially distributed first groove 211a, which is adapted to the first protrusion 421a. In the first state, the first protrusion 421a and the first groove 211a are offset radially and axially from the shaft-shaped base 211. In the second state, the first protrusion 421a is at least partially located in the first groove 211a, and the first protrusion 421a is limited and engaged with the corresponding wall portion of the first groove 211a.
[0071] The second folding mechanism 42 also includes a first button 422 and a second elastic member 82. The first button 422, the second elastic member 82, and the pivot positioning part 421 are coaxially arranged. The first button 422 has an extension 422a. The second elastic member 82 is at least partially sleeved on the outside of the extension 422a. One end of the second elastic member 82 along its length direction is connected to the first button 422, and the other end is connected to the pivot positioning part 421.
[0072] Regarding the operating principle of the first mounting component 21 and the second mounting component 22: Generally, when the user does not need to take water, the water dispenser 100 is in the first state, and the water dispenser 100 as a whole presents a roughly flat structure. When a user needs to get water, the water dispenser 100 needs to be switched from the first state to the second state: After the user touches the second mounting part 22 and applies continuous force to it, the second mounting part 22 leaves the receiving groove 101 and drives the first mounting part 21 to move away from the receiving groove 101; at the same time, the first mounting part 21 and the second mounting part 22 rotate relative to each other: the first button 422 pops out relative to the first mounting part 21 and the second mounting part 22, the second elastic member 82 recovers from the compressed state, the elastic force pressing against the rotating shaft positioning part 421 decreases, the rotating shaft positioning part 421 can move in the direction where the first button 422 pops out, the second mounting part 22 and the rotating shaft positioning part 421 rotate synchronously until the first protrusion 421a of the rotating shaft positioning part 421 enters the first groove 211a of the shaft base 211 and is limited and engaged with it. At this time, the water dispenser 100 is in the second state.
[0073] With this configuration, the first mounting component 21 and the second mounting component 22 can rotate relative to each other, thereby achieving the positioning of the first mounting component 21 relative to the second mounting component 22 and stabilizing the position of the first mounting component 21 in the second state.
[0074] Further, refer to Figure 14 In order to stabilize the second mounting member 22 in the first state and prevent the second mounting member 22 from popping open, in some specific embodiments, the axial base of the second mounting member 22 also has a circumferentially distributed second groove 211b. The second groove 211b is aligned with the second axis L2 as the center line, and the second groove 211b and the first groove 211a are circumferentially staggered. In the first state, the first protrusion 421a is partially located in the second groove 211b, and the first protrusion 421a and the corresponding wall portion of the second groove 211b are mutually limiting and engaged.
[0075] Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of the water dispenser in another embodiment provided in this application; Figure 18 for Figure 17 A schematic diagram of the structure cut along the CC direction.
[0076] In other embodiments, reference is made to Figure 13 , Figure 17 , Figure 18The second end 21b of the first mounting member 21 is provided with a second stop surface 212, and the third end 22a of the second mounting member 22 is provided with a third stop surface 223. The third stop surface 223 and the second stop surface 212 are parallel to the length direction of the housing 10. At least in the second state, when the water dispenser 100 is working normally, the second stop surface 212 and the third stop surface 223 abut against each other. With this configuration, when the user presses the button, the second elastic member 82 is compressed, and its elastic force is transmitted to the rotating shaft positioning part 421. The rotating shaft positioning part 421 moves away from the first button 422, and at the same time drives the second mounting member 22 to rotate. At this time, since the second mounting member 22 abuts against the second stop surface 212, the second mounting member 22 cannot rotate upward. This can prevent the second mounting member 22 from popping upward and hitting the vehicle body or other people or objects when the user makes a retraction action, thus improving the safety performance.
[0077] Of course, depending on the user's water dispensing needs, the second stop surface 212 and the third stop surface 223 may not be provided. When the user finishes dispensing water, without retracting the water dispensing component, pressing the first button 422 will cause the second mounting component 22 to continue to pop upward until it is stopped again. At this time, the water dispenser is in the cup-retrieving position, leaving space for the user to retrieve the water cup from the container. When the user wants to dispensing water again, pressing the first button 422 again will press the second mounting component 22 to rotate it to the water dispensing position.
[0078] refer to Figure 21 , Figure 21 This is a plan view of the first limiting part, the second limiting part, and the third limiting part of the housing in one embodiment provided in this application.
[0079] Of course, the user can also move the first mounting part 21 without changing the included angle between the second mounting part 22 and the first mounting part 21, so that the first engaging part 411 and the third limiting part 416 are in a limiting engagement, the center of the first limiting part 413, the second limiting part 412, and the third limiting part 416 are equidistant from the first axis L1, and the third limiting part 416 is located in the circumferential area between the first limiting part 413 and the second limiting part 412. At this time, the water dispenser is in the cup taking position.
[0080] Figure 20 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a water dispenser with the second mounting component removed in one embodiment of this application.
[0081] refer to Figure 20The water dispenser 100 also includes an electrical connection part 93. The inner wall of the second mounting member 22 is provided with a baffle 94, which divides the inner wall of the second mounting member 22 into at least two independent regions: a first region 22-1 and a second region 22-2. The water outlet pipe 201 is at least partially located in the first region 22-1, and the electrical connection part 93 is at least partially located in the second region 22-2. This arrangement separates the water circuit and the electrical circuit into two separate areas, effectively preventing moisture damage to the electrical circuit. In the event of a rupture in the water outlet pipe 201, leaked water can be effectively prevented from entering the electrical circuit area, thus improving the safety performance of the water dispenser 100.
[0082] refer to Figure 20 In order for the water outlet pipe 201 to function normally in both the first and second states, the water outlet pipe 201 includes at least a first bend 201a. The first bend 201a is at least partially located within the inner cavity of the second mounting member 22, and is closer to the end of the second mounting member 22 where the water outlet end 203 is located, compared to the end of the second mounting member 22 that is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 21. Of course, in some other specific embodiments, the water outlet pipe 201 at least partially adopts a corrugated pipe structure, which can be extended and contracted.
[0083] Further, refer to Figure 8 In one specific embodiment, the water outlet pipe 201 further includes a second bend 201b, which is at least partially located in the inner cavity of the first mounting member 21. Compared to the end where the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are rotatably connected, the second bend 201b is closer to the connection end between the first mounting member 21 and the housing 10. The second bend 201b is at least partially sleeved on the outside of the first shaft 414.
[0084] refer to Figure 20 Regarding the specific installation method of the water outlet pipe 201, in one specific embodiment, the baffle 94 includes a second baffle (not shown in the figure). The second baffle is arranged parallel to the center line of the second mounting member. When the water outlet pipe 201 enters the inner cavity of the first mounting member 21 from the inner cavity of the housing 10, it needs to be bent and leave a certain length for the water outlet pipe 201 to extend. Correspondingly, when the water outlet pipe 201 enters the inner cavity of the second mounting member 22 from the inner cavity of the first mounting member 21, it needs to be bent again and travel a distance (arc length) greater than 180° around the second axis L2. It passes through the first hole from the side of the second mounting member 22 facing the first mounting member 21, extends along the second baffle arranged parallel to the second mounting member 22 to the third end 22a of the second mounting member 22, bends again to form a third bend 201c when it reaches the third end 22a, and passes through the second hole on the second baffle to extend to the lower surface of the second mounting member 22.
[0085] It can be seen that the water outlet pipe 201 can be bent only once to meet the normal operation of the first state and the second state. Alternatively, it can have only one or two of the first bending part 201a, the second bending part 201b, and the third bending part 201c, or it can have other bending parts to reserve length allowance for the folding and extension of the water outlet pipe 201. These will not be elaborated here.
[0086] Furthermore, the inner walls of the first mounting component 21 and the second mounting component 22 are both provided with arc-shaped guide angles 95°, which facilitates the orderly folding and smooth unfolding of the water outlet pipe 201, while protecting the integrity of the water outlet pipe 201 and preventing the water outlet pipe 201 from contacting the inner walls of the first mounting component 21 and the second mounting component 22 and puncturing the water outlet pipe 201, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the water outlet pipe 201.
[0087] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the water outlet pipe 201 is made of relatively soft material, and the inner walls of the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are provided with a spring-loaded structure 96. At least in the second state, the spring-loaded structure 96 supports the water outlet pipe 201. When the water dispenser 100 switches from the first state to the second state, the water outlet pipe 201 extends from the bent and folded shape accordingly to prevent breakage due to insufficient length. The spring-loaded structure 96 enables the water outlet pipe 201 to effectively spring open when the state is switched, and the fluid leaving after being heated by the heating component 30 can enter the water outlet pipe 201 relatively easily, making the fluid flow state relatively stable.
[0088] Figure 22 This is a schematic diagram of the water dispensing component of a water dispenser in another embodiment provided in this application.
[0089] refer to Figure 22 To allow the water outlet 203 of the water dispenser 100 to extend further, in one specific embodiment, the water outlet assembly 20 further includes a third mounting member 23. The two ends of the third mounting member 23 are rotatably connected to the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22, respectively. In a first state, the first mounting member 21, the second mounting member 22, and the third mounting member 23 are all arranged parallel to the length or width direction of the housing 10. In a second state, the angle between the centerline of the second mounting member 22 and the centerline of the third mounting member 23 is an acute angle. In one specific embodiment, the rotatable connection between the first mounting member 21 and the third mounting member 23, and the rotatable connection between the third mounting member 23 and the second mounting member 22, can adopt the rotatable connection method between the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 described above, or a similar rotational locking and limiting method, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0091] refer to Figure 23 , Figure 24 In one specific embodiment, in order to connect with an external central control box or for special customer placement requirements, the water outlet assembly 20 is disposed in the width direction of the housing 10. The first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 are both parallel to the width direction of the housing 10 in the first state. Of course, the water outlet assembly 20 can also be disposed in the diagonal direction of the housing 10 as needed to achieve a longer extendable distance. Other placement directions will not be described in detail.

[0093] refer to Figure 25 In one specific embodiment, the surface of the housing 10 is provided with a boss 104, the first shaft 414 is connected to the boss 104, and the boss 104 is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 21; the length of the second mounting member 22 is greater than or equal to the length of the housing 10. In one specific embodiment, the length of the first mounting member 21 and the length of the second mounting member 22 are equal and both are greater than 2 / 3 of the length of the housing 10. With this configuration, in the second state, compared with the fixed-form water dispenser in the prior art, the first mounting member 21 and the second mounting member 22 can extend to a longer length, thereby expanding the distance range for users to obtain water.

At least one side of the central control box wall 300a is rotatable relative to the other sides. At least one side of the central control box 300 is openable and foldable. The foldable water dispenser 100 can be placed inside the inner cavity of the central control box 300, saving interior space.

The specific position of the central control box 300 and the design of its inner cavity can be set according to specific needs.
[0098] Furthermore, the central control box 300 has a cup holder 200. In one specific embodiment, the cup holder 200 is a circular groove that can hold various types of water cups. The cup holder 200 is located on one side of the length or width direction of the housing 10. The cup holder 200 has a fifth groove 200a. The shape of the fifth groove 200a can be a circular groove or other structure that is adapted to the shape of commonly used water cups. The fourth end 22b of the second mounting member 22 of the water dispenser 100 has a water outlet end 203. The fourth end 22b is close to the cup holder 200. In the first state, in the second state, the water outlet assembly 20 extends out of the inner cavity of the central control box 300. At least part of the water outlet assembly 20 is located outside the central control box 300, and the water outlet end 203 is located above the cup holder 200.
[0099] Furthermore, the water dispenser 100 is connected to the central control box 300 by a limiting connection, a fixed connection, or an integrated design. Alternatively, the central control box 300 has a snap-fit structure that is compatible with the cup holder 200. A shock-absorbing buffer pad is provided between the central control box 300 and the water dispenser housing 10, which effectively stabilizes the position of the water dispenser 100 whether the vehicle 10000 is stationary or running, preventing the water dispenser 100 from falling off or tipping over, thus improving the stability of the water dispenser 100 installation.
[0100] The central control box has an inner cavity and a corresponding central control box wall; at least two adjacent side walls of the central control box wall are rotatably connected, or at least one side wall of the central control box includes two doors, each of which is rotatably connected to an adjacent side wall.

[0102] Furthermore, the water dispenser 100 is connected to the central control box 300 by a limiting connection, a fixed connection, or an integrated design, which helps to improve the stability of the water dispenser 100 when installed in a vehicle, especially in scenarios prone to vibration, such as when the car is running.
[0103] Furthermore, the water dispenser 100 is located in the central area 2000 between the driver's seat and the passenger seat of the car 10000.
