Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purifier technology, specifically, a mixing-type drinking water device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, mixing-type water dispensers are widely used. They generally include electronic control components, as well as hot water and cold water delivery lines controlled by these components. Furthermore, the electronic control components can be either touch-screen or button-operated.

[0003] There are many existing patents. Taking the utility model patent with publication number CN208640400U as an example, it discloses an intelligent water dispenser, including a body, a hot water tank, a cold water tank, a hot water pipe, a cold water pipe, a hot water pump, a cold water pump, a heating device, and a control system. The hot water tank is mounted inside the body, with a cold water inlet at the top and a hot water outlet at the bottom. The cold water tank is detachably installed at the rear of the body, with a cold water outlet at the bottom. The cold water pipe and the cold water pump cooperate to connect the cold water outlet and the cold water inlet. One end of the hot water pump is connected to the hot water outlet, and the other end is connected to the hot water pipe. One end of the hot water pipe is connected to the hot water pump, and the other end extends outside the body. The heating device is located at the bottom of the hot water tank. This water dispenser separates the cold water tank and the hot water tank, allowing control of the amount of water to be heated according to actual needs. Moreover, the cold water is drawn from the bottom of the cold water tank and enters from the top of the hot water tank. This structure prevents hot water steam from entering the cold water tank and affecting the water quality inside the cold water tank.

[0004] Taking the aforementioned patent as an example, the electrical control components for the controlled hot water and cold water supply pipelines include an operation panel and a circuit board electrically connected to the operation panel. With the diversification of customer needs, people are no longer satisfied with the original operating methods. To ensure operational reliability, a mechanical button operation device is proposed. This device requires two pressing areas (including a digital display area, configured according to requirements) on the operation panel. These two pressing areas can be named the cold water pressing area and the hot water pressing area, respectively. These two pressing areas correspond to the cold water control area and the hot water control area on the circuit board below. Microswitches and indicator lights are installed in the cold water control area / hot water control area. Pressing the pressing area causes it to deform downwards, triggering the microswitch, and simultaneously illuminating the corresponding indicator light, thereby controlling the supply process of cold / hot water.

[0005] However, the aforementioned mechanical button operation device has a design flaw: the entire operation panel is made of a semi-transparent material. When the cold water / hot water pressing area of ​​the operation panel is pressed, because there is no baffle structure between the cold water and hot water indicator lights, and there is a certain gap (2-3mm) between the pressing area and the circuit board below, the light emitted by the cold water or hot water indicator light will shine on the hot water or cold water pressing area next to it. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water mixing device, which improves the electronic control components to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: a mixing-type drinking water device, including an electrical control component for controlling the hot water delivery pipeline and the cold water delivery pipeline;

[0008] The electronic control component includes:

[0009] Base;

[0010] A circuit board mounted in a base, the circuit board having a hot water control area and a cold water control area, the hot water control area being equipped with a hot water indicator light and a hot water switch, and the cold water control area being equipped with a cold water indicator light and a cold water switch;

[0011] The control panel is connected to the upper side of the base and located above the circuit board. The control panel has a hot water pressing area and a cold water pressing area that can be elastically deformed. The hot water pressing area and the cold water pressing area are used to trigger the hot water switch and the cold water switch, respectively, and are respectively facing the hot water indicator light and the cold water indicator light.

[0012] The control panel is composed of a transparent protective film, an opaque layer, and a transparent bottom layer, which are fixedly bonded together from top to bottom. The opaque layer has two light-transmitting holes that are respectively facing the hot water indicator light and the cold water indicator light.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] The light emission range is more accurately defined, allowing the hot water / cold water indicator lights to emit light outward through the corresponding light-transmitting holes. This significantly reduces the interference of the hot water / cold water indicator lights with other areas when they are emitting light, ensuring that the light emitted by the hot water indicator light is clearly displayed in the hot water pressing area and the light emitted by the cold water indicator light in the cold water pressing area. This makes it easier for users to confirm whether the pressing is in place and improves the reliability of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-6 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 6 As shown, a productization solution for a mixing-type drinking water device is proposed, which mainly involves installing the mixing-type drinking water device in the structure of an L-shaped water faucet 19.

[0023] This productization solution includes the following components:

[0024] The faucet 19 has a hollow outer shell 19a, which is L-shaped in general and is divided into a horizontal part and a vertical part;

[0025] The hot water delivery pipeline includes a hot water pipe 13 passing through the housing 19a, and a hot water control valve 12 and a hot water pump 11 installed in the hot water pipe 13;

[0026] The cold water delivery pipeline includes a cold water pipe 16 passing through the housing 19a, and a cold water control valve 15 and a cold water pump 14 installed in the cold water pipe 16.

[0027] The water outlet chamber 17 is installed inside the horizontal part of the outer shell 19a of the faucet 19 and is connected to the water outlet nozzle 18 that extends downward through the outer shell 19a. The hot water pipe 13 and the cold water pipe 16 are simultaneously connected to the water outlet chamber 17 to deliver hot / cold water into the water outlet chamber 17 and then output through the water outlet nozzle 18.

[0028] The productization solution involves a water mixing device, the core concept of which is as follows:

[0029] It includes an electrical control component 10 for controlling the hot water delivery pipeline and the cold water delivery pipeline. The electrical control component 10 needs to control the hot water control valve 12, the hot water pump 11, the cold water control valve 15 and the cold water pump 14. The electrical control component 10 is installed on the vertical part of the housing 19a of the water tap 19.

[0030] like Figure 2-5As shown, the aforementioned electronic control component 10 includes:

[0031] Base 2 made of plastic;

[0032] The circuit board 3 installed in the base 2 has a hot water control area and a cold water control area. The hot water control area is equipped with a hot water indicator light 5 and a hot water switch 6, and the cold water control area is equipped with a cold water indicator light 8 and a cold water switch 9.

[0033] The control panel 1 is connected to the upper side of the base 2 and is located above the circuit board 3. The control panel 1 has a hot water pressing area 105 and a cold water pressing area 106 that can be elastically deformed. The hot water pressing area 105 and the cold water pressing area 106 are both kept at a certain distance from the circuit board 3 and the switch below. The hot water pressing area 105 and the cold water pressing area 106 are used to trigger the hot water switch 6 and the cold water switch 9, respectively, and are respectively facing the hot water indicator light 5 and the cold water indicator light 8. When the hot water switch 6 / cold water switch 9 is triggered, the hot water indicator light 5 / cold water indicator light 8 also lights up at the same time.

[0034] The key improvement lies in the fact that the control panel 1 is formed by fixing and adhering a transparent protective film 101 (transparent tempered glass film), an opaque layer 102, and a transparent bottom layer 103 together from top to bottom. The opaque layer 102 has two light-transmitting holes 102a that are respectively facing the hot water indicator light 5 and the cold water indicator light 8, thereby more accurately defining the light emission range. This allows the hot water indicator light 5 and the cold water indicator light 8 to emit light outward through the corresponding light-transmitting holes 102a, significantly reducing the interference of the hot water indicator light 5 and the cold water indicator light 8 with other areas when they are emitting light. This ensures that the light emitted by the hot water indicator light 5 is clearly displayed in the hot water pressing area 105, and the light emitted by the cold water indicator light 8 is clearly displayed in the cold water pressing area 106.

[0035] As a more optimized solution, a partition 7 (opaque) is fixedly attached to the upper surface of the circuit board 3. The partition 7 divides the upper surface of the circuit board 3 into a hot water control area and a cold water control area to separate the hot water signal light 5 and the cold water signal light 8.

[0036] To facilitate the installation of the circuit board 3, the base 2 is provided with a lower groove 2a. The circuit board 3 is installed in the lower groove 2a. The partition 7 divides the lower groove 2a into a first cavity 2b and a second cavity 2c. The first cavity 2b and the second cavity 2c are located directly below the hot water pressing area 105 and the cold water pressing area 106, respectively, thereby better separating the light emitted by the hot water signal light 5 and the cold water signal light 8. The hot water signal light 5 and the hot water switch 6 are located in the first cavity 2b, and the cold water signal light 8 and the cold water switch 9 are located in the second cavity 2c.

[0037] The buttons of the hot water switch 6 and the cold water switch 9 extend upward beyond the upper end of the lower groove 2a, so that the hot water pressing area 105 and the cold water pressing area 106 can respectively contact and press the buttons of the hot water switch 6 and the cold water switch 9 downward. In order to prevent interference with the downward deformation process of the hot water pressing area 105 and the cold water pressing area 106, the upper surface of the partition 7 does not extend beyond the upper end of the lower groove 2a. The upper surface of the partition 7 needs to be flush with the upper plane of the lower groove 2a, or the upper surface of the partition 7 is slightly lower than the upper plane of the lower groove 2a.

[0038] The first cavity 2b and the second cavity 2c are both filled with transparent sealant 4. Transparent sealant 4 is a commonly used sealing material in the field of electronic equipment. The hot water indicator light 5 and the cold water indicator light 8 are completely inside the transparent sealant 4. The buttons of the hot water switch 6 and the cold water switch 9 are outside the transparent sealant 4 so as to facilitate pressing and triggering.

[0039] To make it easier to identify the pressing location, the surfaces of the hot water pressing area 105 and the cold water pressing area 106 are respectively engraved with hot water contact area markings 105a and 106a.

[0040] In order to ensure the elastic deformation capability of the hot water pressing area 105 and the cold water pressing area 106, the control panel 1 is provided with a narrow opening 104 (approximately 0.5 mm wide, equivalent to the gap between the left and right mouse buttons) to separate the hot water pressing area 105 and the cold water pressing area 106. One end of the narrow opening 104 is connected to the edge of the control panel 1.
