[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Contents not explicitly described in the embodiments of this utility model are all prior art, and those skilled in the art can refer to existing conventional technical solutions for implementation.

[0024] This embodiment uses Figure 2 The following is a detailed explanation of the installation structure of the water collection box using the water dispenser shown as an example. This is a vertical water dispenser, mainly consisting of a display panel 1, a water outlet 2, a front panel 3, a water collection box 4, and a bottom door 6.

[0025] Among them, the water collection box 4 and its installation structure are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0026] The water collection box 4 is a flat box located below the water outlet 2 on the main body of the water dispenser. The water collection box 4 includes four side baffles, an upper permeable plate 5, and a lower base plate. The baffle located at the front of the water dispenser is the front baffle 4-1, and the baffle located at the rear of the water dispenser is the rear baffle 4-2. The base plate has a drain outlet 4-4 for centralized drainage. The upper opening of the water collection box is fitted with the permeable plate 5. A water container can be placed on the permeable plate 5 directly below the water outlet 2 to collect water.

[0027] Radial guide channels can be added to the surface of the permeable plate 5 to accelerate the water flow to converge at the lower inlet 4-4.

[0028] Overflowing water or spilled water can flow into the water collection box through the through holes on the permeable plate 5, and then flow out through the drain 4-4 at the bottom of the water collection box. The combination of the permeable plate and the drain can improve drainage efficiency and reduce water residue in the water collection box.

[0029] In this embodiment, a vertical plate 4-3 is provided at the upper end of the rear baffle 4-2 of the water collection box 4. The top of the vertical plate 4-3 is preferably higher than the lower end of the connecting plate 3-2. The lower end of the front upper panel 3-1 of the water dispenser is the connecting plate 3-2. The connecting plate 3-2 is located on the upper side of the rear baffle 4-2 of the water collection box 4. The vertical plate 4-3 of the water collection box 4 is located on the rear side of the connecting plate 3-2, forming an installation structure in which the vertical plate 4-3 and the connecting plate 3-2 are staggered front and rear.

[0030] By adopting this water dispenser's water collection box installation structure, when the water container tilts backward, the spilled water will flow down the front panel of the water dispenser and the rear baffle of the water collection box into the collection box, thus avoiding the situation where... Figure 1 The installation structure shown prevents water from flowing into the machine, thus extending the lifespan of the water dispenser.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upright plate 4-3 is preferably integrally formed with the rear baffle 4-2 of the water collection box 4. The upright plate is preferably set at a 90-degree angle to the upper surface of the rear baffle.

[0032] In this embodiment, the preferred mounting structure of the upright plate 4-3 and the front upper panel 3-1 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the front panel 3 of the water dispenser has a latch 3-3 at the upright plate 4-3, through which the upright plate 4-3 is positioned and mounted to the rear side of the connecting plate 3-2. Specifically, the latch 3-3 has a downward-opening groove into which the upright plate 4-3 is embedded. The latch and the upright plate's positioning structure design ensures installation stability and simplifies the installation process. It should be understood that this mounting structure is only an example of a preferred method; even without this positioning structure, the upright plate can be fixed close to the rear side of the connecting plate using conventional connection methods in the prior art.

[0033] The structure of the rear baffle 4-2 of the water collection box is as follows Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing rib 4-6 is provided on the rear side of the rear baffle 4-2. The reinforcing rib 4-6 is preferably a cross-shaped structure. The rear baffle 4-2 of the water collection box abuts against the front lower panel 3-4 via the reinforcing rib 4-6. Positioning holes (bolt holes 1 4-7) are provided on the reinforcing ribs (e.g., at the intersection of the reinforcing ribs). Positioning components (e.g., bolts) pass through the front lower panel 3-4 and are installed in bolt holes 1 4-7, thus fixing the water collection box in the front-rear direction. A flat plate 4-8 extends rearward from the bottom of the rear baffle 4-2. Fixing holes (bolt holes 2 4-5) are provided on this flat plate 4-8. Fixing components (e.g., bolts) pass through bolt holes 2 4-5 to connect the front lower panel 3-4 and the flat plate 4-8, thus fixing the water collection box in the vertical direction.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to achieve rapid positioning and installation of the permeable plate 5 relative to the water collection box, this embodiment has several support strips 4-9 fixedly arranged circumferentially at intervals on the inner side of the side plate of the water collection box. The support strips 4-9 protrude inward relative to the side wall of the water collection box, forming limiting bosses. Several limiting bosses together define an installation plane, on which the permeable plate 5 is positioned and installed. The support strips 4-9 also serve as reinforcing ribs.

[0035] To further improve the rationality of the structure and appearance, this embodiment preferably designs the inner surface of the rear baffle 4-2 of the water collection box 4 to be slightly inward relative to the inner surface of the front upper panel 3-1 of the water dispenser. This design optimizes the visual effect and further prevents water from flowing into the machine. The inner surface refers to... Figure 2 The surface located on one side of the front of the machine in the view. At this time, the lower end of the front upper panel 3-1 abuts against the upper end of the rear baffle 4-2 of the water collection box 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, the front panel 3 of the water dispenser also includes a lower front panel 3-4. This lower front panel 3-4 extends rearward and downward from the upper front panel 3-1 of the water dispenser, and the rear side of the rear baffle 4-2 of the water collection box 4 abuts against this lower front panel 3-4. This design makes the installation structure of the water collection box more compact and stable.

[0037] The above embodiments are merely typical implementations of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. All equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the scope of the claims of this utility model are protected by this utility model.
