Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of direct drinking water machine technology, and more particularly to a wall-mounted water supply device. Background Technology

[0002] Wall-mounted water dispensers are widely used because they are hung on the wall and do not occupy table space. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221129626U discloses a wall-mounted water dispenser where the dispenser body is mounted on the wall using a wall-mounting assembly, which allows for position adjustment. The front of the dispenser body has a water-receiving area, and water is supplied through a spout. However, in actual use, wall-mounted water dispensers still have at least the following problems: the height between the base of the water-receiving area and the spout is limited, restricting the height of the water container that can be used, making it unusable for taller containers and reducing the user experience. Therefore, how to design a technology that accommodates different water containers to improve ease of use and user experience is the technical problem this invention aims to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a wall-mounted water supply device that can meet the needs of different water receiving containers to improve ease of use and user experience.

[0004] The technical solution provided in this application is a wall-mounted water supply device, comprising:

[0005] The casing has a water supply pipe, a wall-mounted mounting part on the back of the casing, and a movable mounting bracket on the casing. The mounting bracket has a water outlet, and the water supply pipe is configured to supply water to the water outlet.

[0006] The control module includes a control board, a control component, and an electronic control component. The control component and the electronic control component are electrically connected to the control board, and the electronic control component is configured to control the water outlet to dispense water or shut off the water.

[0007] The control board, the operating components, and the electronic control components are mounted on the housing.

[0008] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket is rotatably mounted on the housing.

[0009] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket is provided with a supporting pivot, and the mounting bracket is rotatably mounted on the housing via the supporting pivot;

[0010] Alternatively, the housing may be provided with a hinge, and the mounting bracket may be rotatably mounted on the housing via the hinge.

[0011] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket is movably mounted on the housing.

[0012] In one embodiment, the housing is provided with a sliding groove, and the mounting bracket is provided with a slide rail. The sliding groove and the slide rail are arranged laterally, and the slide rail is slidably disposed in the sliding groove.

[0013] Alternatively, the housing may be provided with a telescopic bracket, and the mounting bracket may be disposed on the telescopic bracket, the telescopic bracket being configured to support the mounting bracket to move closer to or away from the housing.

[0014] In one embodiment, a water storage container is also included; the water storage container is disposed on the housing.

[0015] The water supply pipe is configured to supply water to the water storage container in order to supply water to the water outlet through the water storage container.

[0016] In one embodiment, the water storage container is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket;

[0017] With the water storage container mounted on the mounting bracket, the water supply pipe, the water storage container, and the water outlet are connected in sequence.

[0018] In one embodiment, the water supply pipe is provided with a water supply connector at its outlet end, and the water supply connector is connected to the water storage container when the water storage container is mounted on the shell.

[0019] And / or, the water outlet is also connected to a water outlet connector, and when the water storage container is mounted on the housing, the water outlet connector is in communication with the water storage container.

[0020] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket is further provided with an electric heating component; when the water storage container is mounted on the mounting bracket, the water storage container is mounted on the electric heating component, and the electric heating component is configured to heat the water stored in the water storage container;

[0021] And / or, the water storage container has a flat structure, and the thickness of the water storage container is less than its length.

[0022] In one embodiment, a water flow sterilization module is further included, which is configured to perform ultraviolet sterilization treatment on the flowing water.

[0023] The water flow sterilization module is connected to the water supply pipe.

[0024] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages and positive effects of this application are as follows: By providing a movable mounting bracket on the casing, and mounting the water outlet on the bracket, the water outlet can move relative to the casing under the support of the mounting bracket. This allows for adjustment of the water outlet position during later use, reducing the possibility of not being able to properly collect water from the outlet due to space limitations, thus meeting the water collection requirements of different sized containers and improving the user experience. More importantly, because the water outlet can move relative to the casing via the mounting bracket, the overall thickness of the wall-mounted water dispenser can be reduced during actual product design, minimizing space occupation after wall mounting. Furthermore, with a thinner profile, the mounting bracket can move the water outlet away from the casing, ensuring sufficient space between the water outlet and the wall during water collection, making it more convenient for users to collect water and improving ease of use and user experience.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] like Figures 1-7 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a wall-mounted water supply device, including: a housing 1 and a control module 2.

[0049] The housing 1 includes a housing 11 and a door 12, with the door 12 mounted on the housing 11 to enable opening and closing. Additionally, the housing 1 includes a water supply pipe 13 and a water outlet 14.

[0050] Specifically, drinking water is supplied to the water outlet 14 through the water supply pipe 13. In order to meet the requirements of wall-mounted installation, a wall-mounted mounting part 111 is also provided on the back of the housing 11. The wall-mounted mounting part 111 can be used to hang the housing 1 on the wall. Its physical manifestation can be a wall-mounted bracket or other structures.

[0051] The control module 2 includes a control board 21, a control component 22, and an electronic control component 23. The control component 22 and the electronic control component 23 are electrically connected to the control board 21, and the electronic control component 23 is configured to control the water outlet 14 to dispense or shut off water. The control board 21, the control component 22, and the electronic control component 23 are mounted on the housing 1.

[0052] Specifically, the control board 21 integrates a controller (such as a microcontroller or other conventional control device) to enable the control board 21 to have corresponding control functions. The control component 22 is set on the housing 1. The control component 22 can meet the user's function of controlling the operation of the wall-mounted water supply equipment. The physical manifestation of the control component 22 can be a physical button or a touch screen or other conventional operating component, and there is no limitation here.

[0053] The electronic control component 23 is controlled by the control board 21. When the user operates the control component 22, the control board 21 triggers the electronic control component 23 to switch on and off, thereby controlling the water outlet 14 to dispense water or turn off the water. The electronic control component 23 can take various forms. For example, the electronic control component 23 can be an electronically controlled valve, which controls the water flow path of the water outlet 14 to dispense or turn off the water. When the electronically controlled valve is open, water flows into the water outlet 14 and is discharged outward. Alternatively, the electronic control component 23 can be a water pump, which drives the water flow to dispense or turn off the water outlet 14. When the water pump stops, the water flow path of the water outlet 14 is closed.

[0054] Regardless of whether the electronic control component 23 uses an electronically controlled valve or a water pump, the electronic control component 23 controls the flow path of the water outlet 14. The specific control method of the electronic control component 23 for the water outlet 14 can be referred to the water circuit connection method and control method of conventional water purifiers, and will not be limited or elaborated here.

[0055] Example 1, as Figures 1-7As shown, in order to protect the water outlet 14 and reduce the contamination of the water outlet 14 when it is not in use, the wall-mounted water supply equipment provided in one embodiment of this application has the following structural improvements.

[0056] The housing 1 includes a housing 11, a door 12, and a water supply pipe 13. A wall-mounted mounting part 111 is provided on the back of the housing 11, and a water receiving area 113 is formed on the front of the housing 11. A water outlet 14 and a water receiving tray 10 are provided in the water receiving area 113, and the water outlet 14 is arranged above the water receiving tray 10.

[0057] The door 12 can move on the housing 11 as needed to open and close the door. When the door 12 is closed, the door 12 covers the water receiving area 113 and thus covers the water outlet 14.

[0058] Compared to existing water dispensers where the spout 14 is always exposed, the housing 1 of this application is equipped with a switchable door 12 to cover the spout 14. For wall-mounted water dispensers, the door 12 can protect the spout 14 when not in use, reducing the risk of contamination from prolonged exposure.

[0059] By providing an openable door 12 on the housing 1, the water outlet 14 can be protected during use by opening and closing the door 12. When the user needs to obtain drinking water through the water outlet 14, the door 12 on the housing 1 can be opened to expose the water outlet 14, thus meeting the user's requirement to obtain water through the water outlet 14. When not in use, the door 12 can be closed to cover and protect the water outlet 14, thereby reducing the water outlet 14 from being exposed to the outside for a long time and being prone to contamination, thus improving the user experience.

[0060] In one embodiment, in order to improve the water quality delivered from the water supply pipe 13 to the water outlet 14 and thus improve the quality of drinking water, the wall-mounted water supply equipment further includes a water flow sterilization module 3, which is configured to perform ultraviolet sterilization treatment on the flowing water.

[0061] The water flow sterilization module 3 is connected to the water supply pipe 13.

[0062] Specifically, the water flow sterilization module 3 is connected to the water supply pipe 13. For the drinking water transported through the water supply pipe 13, the drinking water will first be transported into the water flow sterilization module 3, so that the water flowing through it can be sterilized. In this way, the water sterilized by the water flow sterilization module 3 can effectively reduce the impact of bacteria on the quality of the drinking water, thereby improving the quality of the drinking water output from the water outlet 14.

[0063] The water flow sterilization module 3 is disposed in the housing 1. The water flow sterilization module 3 can be connected to the water flow path between the water supply pipe 13 and the water outlet 14, or the water flow sterilization module 3 can be connected in series with the water supply pipe 13. The water flow sterilization module 3 can adopt the existing flow-through ultraviolet sterilization device, such as the technical solution disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209554830U, which will not be limited or elaborated here.

[0064] In one embodiment, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 is also provided in the housing 1. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 is configured to irradiate the water outlet 14 with ultraviolet light to sterilize it when the door 12 is closed.

[0065] Specifically, in order to further inhibit and sterilize the water outlet 14, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 is installed on the housing 1. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 can generate ultraviolet light to carry out sterilization and antibacterial treatment.

[0066] Specifically, since the ultraviolet rays emitted by the UV germicidal lamp 15 are harmful to the human body, the UV germicidal lamp 15 can only be activated by the control panel 21 when the door 12 is closed. After the door 12 is closed, a relatively closed structure is formed in the space where the water receiving area 113 is located inside the casing 1. The ultraviolet rays emitted by the UV germicidal lamp 15 irradiate at least the water outlet 14 in the water receiving area 113, thereby sterilizing and inhibiting the bacteria in the water outlet 14 through ultraviolet rays.

[0067] In order to improve the ultraviolet sterilization effect of the water outlet 14, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 15 can be arranged close to the water outlet 14 to increase the intensity of ultraviolet irradiation on the water outlet 14, thereby improving the sterilization and bacteriostatic effect.

[0068] In one embodiment, the wall-mounted water supply equipment further includes a water storage container 16; the water storage container 16 is disposed on the housing 11;

[0069] The water supply pipe 13 is configured to supply water to the water storage container 16 so as to supply water to the water outlet 14 through the water storage container 16.

[0070] Specifically, by setting a water storage container 16 in the casing 1, the water storage container 16 has a certain volume to temporarily store drinking water. In this way, when the user takes water, the water storage container 16 can supply water to the outside, thereby increasing the water output speed and reducing the impact of the water output flow of the drinking water purification equipment, which is more conducive to improving the user experience.

[0071] The water purification equipment used to prepare direct drinking water refers to conventional water purifiers. Therefore, we will not restrict or elaborate on water purifiers capable of preparing direct drinking water.

[0072] In actual use, the drinking water supplied by the water supply pipe 13 is sterilized by ultraviolet light through the water flow sterilization module and then flows into the water storage container 16 for temporary storage. When a user comes to the drinking water machine to get water, the water in the water storage container 16 is output from the water outlet 14.

[0073] When the water storage container 16 is integrated into the housing 1 and fixed in place, the water supply pipe 13 is connected to the water storage container 16, and the water storage container 16 is connected to the water outlet 14.

[0074] Furthermore, to promptly replenish the water storage container 16 with drinking water, a float switch (not shown) can be installed in the water storage container 16. The float switch is electrically connected to the control board 21, and the control board 21 controls the water supply pipe 13 to supply water to the water storage container 16 according to the float switch. The way the control board 21 controls the water supply pipe 13 can refer to the on / off method of the water outlet 14. For example, an electric control valve or a water pump can be connected to the water supply pipe 13. When the water pump is started, the drinking water is pumped into the water supply pipe 13. Alternatively, the drinking water output by the water purifier has sufficient water pressure, and an electric control valve is installed on the water supply pipe 13 to control the on / off of the water circuit without the need for a water pump.

[0075] Alternatively, in order to replenish drinking water to the water storage container 16 in a timely manner, a weighing sensor 161 is provided on the housing 1, and the weighing sensor 161 is electrically connected to the control board 21.

[0076] The weighing sensor 161 is configured to weigh the water storage container 16.

[0077] Specifically, the weighing sensor 161 can weigh the water storage container 16 and the water stored in it, and then the control board 21 controls the water supply pipe 13 to supply water to the water storage container 16 based on the weight information measured by the weighing sensor 161. The water supply method of the water supply pipe 13 is as described above and will not be repeated here.

[0078] In another embodiment, since the water storage container 16 stores a certain amount of water during use, and if the water storage container 16 is left unused for a long time, the water quality will deteriorate. In particular, if the user does not use the water in the storage container 16 for a long time at night, the water in the storage container 16 will be stale when used again in the morning. Therefore, as... Figure 11 As shown, the casing 1 is also equipped with a drain pipe 18, which selectively connects to the water storage container 16. Specifically, if the water in the water storage container 16 remains unused for a set period of time, the control board 21 will connect the drain pipe 18 to the water storage container 16, thereby draining the water stored in the water storage container 16 through the drain pipe 18. Furthermore, after the water storage container 16 has completed the drainage operation, the water supply pipe 13 will be controlled to replenish water to the water storage container 16.

[0079] Among them, electric control valves can be installed in the water supply pipe 13 and the drain pipe 18 respectively. By controlling the action of different electric control valves, the water supply pipe 13 can be controlled to supply water and the drain pipe 18 can be controlled to drain water. Here, there are no restrictions on the specific way the control board 21 controls the water supply pipe 13 to supply water and the drain pipe 18 to drain water.

[0080] In addition, since the water tray 10 will also accumulate water dripping from the water outlet 14 during the water collection process, the water tray 10 is connected to the drain pipe 18 through a connecting pipe. In this way, the water accumulated in the water tray 10 can also be discharged in a timely manner through the drain pipe 18, so that the water tray 10 does not need to be cleaned manually.

[0081] Example 2, as Figures 1-7 As shown, in order to facilitate users' access to water and to avoid the space limitations between the water outlet 14 and the water receiving tray 10, the wall-mounted water supply equipment provided in one embodiment of this application has the following structural improvements to the installation method of the water outlet 14.

[0082] This application provides a wall-mounted water supply device, including a housing 1 and a control module 2. For details on the specific structural configuration of the housing 1 and the control module 2, please refer to the description in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0083] The housing 1 is provided with a water supply pipe 13, and the back of the housing 1 is provided with a wall-mounted mounting part 111. The housing 1 is also provided with a movable mounting bracket 17, and the mounting bracket 17 is provided with a water outlet 14. The water supply pipe 13 is configured to supply water to the water outlet 14.

[0084] Specifically, the housing 11 of the casing 1 is equipped with a movable mounting bracket 17, and the water outlet 14 is mounted on the mounting bracket 17. The water outlet 14 is connected to the water supply pipe 13 through a conventional water connection method such as a connecting water pipe. The water outlet 14 can move relative to the casing 1 along with the mounting bracket 17.

[0085] In actual use, if the user's water cup is too high, the height between the spout 14 and the bottom water tray 10 may not meet the water intake requirements. In this case, the spout 14 can be moved away from the housing 11 by the mounting bracket 17, so that the user can easily take water through the water cup.

[0086] More importantly, the water purifier's slim design allows for a thinner overall casing 1, enabling the spout 14 to be closer to the wall and reducing its footprint. Furthermore, when the user needs to collect water, the spout 14 can be pulled away from the wall using the mounting bracket 17 to meet normal water usage requirements.

[0087] In one embodiment, the movable connection between the mounting bracket 17 and the housing 1 can have various structural forms.

[0088] In one embodiment: the mounting bracket 17 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1.

[0089] Specifically, the mounting bracket 17 can rotate on the housing 1. In this way, during the rotation of the mounting bracket 17, the water outlet 14 on the mounting bracket 17 can move closer to or further away from the housing 1, thereby meeting the user's requirement to remove the water outlet 14 from the housing 1 when taking water.

[0090] In order to meet the requirement of rotatable installation of the mounting bracket 17, the mounting bracket 17 is provided with a support shaft 171, and the mounting bracket 17 is rotatably installed on the housing 1 through the support shaft 171; or, the housing 1 is provided with a hinge, and the mounting bracket 17 is rotatably installed on the housing 1 through the hinge.

[0091] In another embodiment, the mounting bracket 17 is movably disposed on the housing 1.

[0092] Specifically, the mounting bracket 17 can move on the housing 1. When water needs to be connected, the mounting bracket 17 can be pulled so that the mounting bracket 17 is relatively away from the housing 1, thereby pulling the water outlet 14 out to the outside of the housing 1.

[0093] To achieve the requirement that the mounting bracket 17 can be movable, various structural forms can also be adopted.

[0094] For example, sliding grooves (not shown) are provided on both side walls of the housing 1, and sliding rails (not shown) are provided on both sides of the mounting bracket 17. The sliding grooves and the sliding rails are arranged laterally, and the sliding rails are slidably disposed in the sliding grooves.

[0095] Specifically, the housing 11 of the casing 1 is provided with a horizontally arranged sliding groove, which cooperates with the horizontally arranged sliding rail on the mounting bracket 17 to enable the mounting bracket 17 to slide back and forth. Of course, in this case, the moving distance of the mounting bracket 17 is limited by the thickness of the housing 11. However, as long as the mounting bracket 17 can move relative to the back of the casing 1, it can drive the water outlet 14 to extend to the outside of the casing 1 so that the user can take water.

[0096] Alternatively, a telescopic bracket (not shown) may be provided on the housing 1, and the mounting bracket 17 may be disposed on the telescopic bracket, the telescopic bracket being configured to support the mounting bracket 17 to move closer to or away from the housing 1.

[0097] Specifically, the telescopic bracket has a telescopic function, indirectly mounting the mounting bracket 17 onto the housing 11. When it is necessary to move the mounting bracket 17, the telescopic bracket is extended or retracted by pushing or pulling the mounting bracket 17, thereby realizing the movement of the mounting bracket 17. The physical manifestation of the telescopic bracket can adopt the telescopic frame structure of a television set, with the corresponding size reduced to fit the housing 1 of the water purifier. For example, existing technologies disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221839291U can be used, without further limitation or elaboration here.

[0098] In cases where the mounting bracket 17 is movable relative to the housing 1, the length of the water supply pipe 13 needs to match the travel distance of the mounting bracket 17.

[0099] In another embodiment, when a water storage container 16 is provided, the water storage container 16 is detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 17;

[0100] With the water storage container 16 mounted on the mounting bracket 17, the water supply pipe 13, the water storage container 16, and the water outlet 14 are connected in sequence.

[0101] Specifically, in order to facilitate the installation of the water storage container 16, the water storage container 16 can also be installed on the mounting bracket 17, thereby facilitating the connection between the water storage container 16 and the water outlet 14 on the mounting bracket 17 for water supply.

[0102] By providing a movable mounting bracket 17 on the housing 1, the water outlet 14 is mounted on the mounting bracket 17. Supported by the mounting bracket 17, the water outlet 14 can move relative to the housing 1. This allows for adjustment of the water outlet 14's position during later use, reducing the risk of water not being collected properly due to space constraints. This accommodates water containers of different sizes, improving the user experience. More importantly, because the water outlet 14 can move relative to the housing 1 via the mounting bracket 17, the overall thickness of the wall-mounted water supply equipment can be reduced during actual product design, minimizing space occupation after wall mounting. Furthermore, with a thinner profile, the mounting bracket 17 can move the water outlet 14 away from the housing 1, ensuring sufficient space between the water outlet 14 and the wall during water collection, facilitating water collection and improving ease of use and user experience.

[0103] Based on Embodiment 1, corresponding technical solutions in Embodiment 2 can be further added; similarly, based on Embodiment 2, corresponding technical solutions in Embodiment 1 can be further added. No limitations or further details are provided here.

[0104] Example 3, based on Examples 1 and 2 above, as follows: Figures 1-10 As shown, in order to meet the user's requirements for ease of use and to achieve the goal of eliminating the need for long-term on-site waiting to collect drinking water, the wall-mounted water supply equipment provided in one embodiment of this application has the following structural improvements.

[0105] The wall-mounted water supply equipment provided in this application includes: a housing 1, a water storage container 16, and a control module 2.

[0106] The housing 1 is provided with a water supply pipe 13 and a water outlet 14. The back of the housing 1 is provided with a wall-mounted mounting part 111. The control module 2 includes a control board 21, an operating component 22 and an electrical control component 23. For specific descriptions of the housing 1 and the control module 2, please refer to the descriptions in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0107] The water storage container 16 is detachably mounted on the housing 1.

[0108] With the water storage container 16 mounted on the housing 11, the water supply pipe 13, the water storage container 16, and the water outlet 14 are connected in sequence.

[0109] Specifically, the water storage container 16 is detachably installed on the housing 1. Under normal use, the water storage container 16 is placed on the housing 1, so that the water supply pipe 13, the water storage container 16, and the water outlet 14 are connected in sequence. This allows the drinking water output from the water supply pipe 13 to flow into the water storage container 16 temporarily. When the water outlet 14 needs to dispense water, water is supplied to the water outlet 14 through the water storage container 16.

[0110] When a user needs to use a large amount of drinking water at once, that is, when the water storage container 16 has enough water to meet the usage requirements, and the user needs to get water immediately, the water storage container 16 can be removed from the casing 1. The user can then take the water storage container 16 to a specific area and pour out the water from the water storage container 16 for use.

[0111] This satisfies users' requirements for taking large amounts of water at once, and also meets their requirement for not having to wait on-site to get water, thus improving user convenience.

[0112] In one embodiment, the water supply pipe 13 is provided with a water supply connector 131 at its outlet end, and the water supply connector 131 is configured to input the water transported by the water supply pipe 13 into the water storage container 16.

[0113] With the water storage container 16 mounted on the housing 11, the water supply connector 131 is connected to the water storage container 16.

[0114] Specifically, since the water storage container 16 can be detached from the housing 1, it is necessary to ensure a detachable water connection between the water supply pipe 13 and the water storage container 16. By configuring a water supply connector 131 on the water supply pipe 13, the water supply connector 131 can meet the detachable installation requirements of the water storage container 16, allowing water supplied by the water supply pipe 13 to enter the water storage container 16 after the water storage container 16 is assembled onto the housing 1.

[0115] Regarding the water supply pipe 13, which is connected to the water purification equipment, water supply pipe 13 typically only receives water when the user operates the control component 22 via the control module 2 to dispense water (for example, operating the control component 22 triggers the water purification equipment to produce water; or, the water purification equipment always supplies water, and operating the control component 22 triggers the electrically controlled valve on the water supply pipe 13 to open and supply water). Therefore, removing or placing the water storage container 16 does not affect the water supply to the water supply pipe 13. Generally, for the water supply connector 131, there is no need to worry about leakage at the water supply connector 131 after removing the water storage container 16 from the housing 1.

[0116] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection between the water supply connector 131 and the water storage container 16, the water storage container 16 is provided with an outlet 162 at its upper part.

[0117] Specifically, since the water storage container 16 can be removed from the housing 1 so that water can be poured out after leaving the housing 1 to meet the user's water requirements, the upper part of the water storage container 16 is provided with a water outlet 162. The user tilts the water storage container 16 so that the water in the water storage container 16 can flow out from the water outlet 162.

[0118] In one embodiment, in order to allow for a detachable connection between the water supply connector 131 and the water storage container 16, the water supply connector 131 is inserted into the water outlet 162 when the water storage container 16 is mounted on the housing 11.

[0119] Specifically, after the water storage container 16 is installed on the housing 1, the water supply connector 131 is inserted into the water outlet 162 of the water storage container 16. The water supply connector 131 extends into the interior of the water storage container 16 through the water outlet 162 to supply water to the water storage container 16 through the water supply pipe 13.

[0120] In one embodiment, in order to allow for a detachable connection between the water supply connector 131 and the water storage container 16, a first insertion interface 163 is provided on the side wall of the water storage container 16, and a first one-way valve 164 is provided in the first insertion interface 163.

[0121] With the water storage container 16 mounted on the housing 11, the water supply connector 131 is inserted into the first insertion port 163 and the first one-way valve 164 is opened.

[0122] Specifically, a first insertion port 163 is provided on the side wall of the water storage container 16, and a first one-way valve 164 is provided in the first insertion port 163. When the first one-way valve 164 is closed, it can prevent water in the water storage container 16 from leaking out of the first insertion port 163. In actual use, after the water storage container 16 is installed on the housing 1, the water supply connector 131 is inserted into the first insertion port 163 and the first one-way valve 164 is opened, thus connecting the water supply connector 131 to the water storage container 16. When the water storage container 16 is removed from the housing 1, the water supply connector 131 is pulled out of the first insertion port. At this time, the first one-way valve 164 resets and automatically closes the first insertion port to prevent water in the water storage container 16 from leaking out of the first insertion port.

[0123] In another embodiment, since the water storage container 16 needs to meet the requirement of supplying water to the water outlet 14 while being detachable and assembleable, in order to facilitate the connection between the water supply connector 131 and the water outlet 14, the water outlet 14 is also connected to the water outlet connector 141, which is configured to communicate with the water storage container 16 to deliver the water output from the water storage container 16 to the water outlet 14.

[0124] With the water storage container 16 mounted on the housing 11, the water outlet connector 141 is connected to the water storage container 16.

[0125] Specifically, the water outlet 14 is connected to a water outlet connector 141 via a water pipe, which can communicate with the water storage container 16 to ensure that water in the water storage container 16 is delivered to the water outlet 14. Furthermore, after the water storage container 16 is assembled onto the housing 1, the water outlet connector 141 will be connected to the water storage container 16.

[0126] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection between the water outlet connector 141 and the water storage container 16, and to prevent water leakage after the water storage container 16 is removed from the housing 1, a second plug-in interface 165 is provided on the water storage container 16, and a second one-way valve 166 is provided in the second plug-in interface 165.

[0127] With the water storage container 16 mounted on the housing 11, the water outlet connector 141 is inserted into the second connector 165 and the second one-way valve 166 is opened.

[0128] Specifically, the water storage container 16 is provided with a second connector 165, and a second one-way valve 166 is provided in the second connector 165. When the second one-way valve 166 is closed, it can prevent water in the water storage container 16 from leaking from the second connector 165. In actual use, after the water storage container 16 is installed on the housing 1, the water outlet connector 141 is inserted into the second connector 165 and the second one-way valve 166 is opened. In this way, the water outlet connector 141 is connected to the water storage container 16, and the water in the water storage container 16 can flow to the water outlet 14 through the water outlet connector 141.

[0129] When the water storage container 16 is removed from the housing 1, the water outlet connector 141 is pulled out of the second socket. At this time, the second one-way valve 166 resets and automatically closes the second socket to prevent water in the water storage container 16 from leaking out of the second socket.

[0130] The second insertion port 165 is arranged on the side wall of the water storage container 16; or, the second insertion port 165 is arranged on the bottom plate of the water storage container 16.

[0131] In one embodiment, when the housing 1 is equipped with a mounting bracket 17, the water outlet 14 is disposed on the mounting bracket 17, and the water storage container 16 is detachably disposed on the mounting bracket 17.

[0132] Specifically, the mounting bracket 17 can meet the installation requirements of the water outlet 14 and the water storage container 16, and the mounting bracket 17 can also be movable relative to the housing 11 as needed.

[0133] The water supply connector 131 and the water outlet connector 141 are respectively installed on the mounting bracket 17, so that after the water storage container 16 is placed on the mounting bracket 17, the water supply connector 131 and the water outlet connector 141 can be easily connected to the water storage container 16.

[0134] Furthermore, in order to improve the assembly reliability of the water storage container 16 on the mounting bracket 17, the mounting bracket 17 is provided with upturned edges 172 on both sides, and a sliding guide space is formed between the two upturned edges 172, in which the water storage container 16 is slidably disposed.

[0135] Specifically, there are upturned edges 172 on both sides of the mounting bracket 17. After the water storage container 16 is placed on the mounting bracket 17, the water storage container 16 is located between the two upturned edges 172, so that the water storage container 16 can be prevented from falling off the mounting bracket 17 by the upturned edges 172 on both sides.

[0136] Meanwhile, when the user places the water storage container 16 on the mounting bracket 17, it can be guided by the two upturned edges 172, so that the water storage container 16 can be slidably installed on the mounting bracket 17. After installation, the water supply connector 131 and the water outlet connector 141 are connected to the water storage container 16.

[0137] In one embodiment, when a weighing sensor 161 is used to weigh the water storage container 16 and the water stored within it, the weighing sensor 161 is mounted on the mounting bracket 17. After the water storage container 16 is placed on the mounting bracket 17, the weight of the water storage container 16 and the water stored inside can be weighed using the weighing sensor 161. When the water level in the water storage container 16 decreases to a set level, the weight value detected by the weighing sensor 161 is lower than a first set value. At this time, water is supplied to the water storage container 16 through the water supply pipe 13 until the weight value detected by the weighing sensor 161 reaches a second set value, at which point the water supply pipe 13 is shut off. The second set value will be greater than the first set value, and the specific weight value is set according to the size of the water storage container 16, and is not limited here.

[0138] In one embodiment, in order to meet the requirement of water storage container 16 draining water outward, the housing 1 is provided with a drain pipe 18 and a two-position three-way valve 142.

[0139] The water outlet connector 141 is connected to the water outlet 14 and the drain pipe 18 respectively through the two-position three-way valve 142, and the two-position three-way valve 142 is electrically connected to the control board 21.

[0140] Specifically, if the water in the water storage container 16 is not used for a long time, it needs to be drained and replaced with fresh water to improve the user's water quality. A two-position three-way valve 142 controls the selective connection of the water outlet connector 141 to either the water outlet 14 or the drain pipe 18. During normal water use, the water outlet 14 is connected to the water outlet connector 141 via the two-position three-way valve 142; during drainage, the drain pipe 18 is connected to the water outlet connector 141 via the two-position three-way valve 142.

[0141] By configuring a detachable water storage container 16 on the casing 1, under normal use, the water storage container 16 is installed on the casing 1. At this time, the water supply pipe 13, the water storage container 16, and the water outlet 14 are connected in sequence. The water supplied by the water supply pipe 13 enters the water storage container 16, which temporarily stores a certain amount of water. When the user needs water, the water in the water storage container 16 is output from the water outlet 14. If the user has special water needs, the user can also remove the water storage container 16 from the casing 1 and carry the water storage container 16 to the required location to pour water. Furthermore, since the water storage container 16 has already temporarily stored a certain amount of water, on the one hand, the user does not need to wait to get water, and on the other hand, the user can carry the water storage container 16 to any location to use water, which is more conducive to improving the user's convenience and user experience.

[0142] Example 4, as Figures 1-10 As shown, in order to enrich the functions of the direct drinking water machine, the wall-mounted water supply equipment provided in one embodiment of this application has the following structural improvements.

[0143] The wall-mounted water supply equipment provided in this application can supply drinking water to the outside world, and can also supply heated drinking water as needed. At the same time, it can also achieve sterilization treatment for water container storage. The specific description is as follows.

[0144] The wall-mounted water supply equipment includes a housing 1 and a control module 2. Details regarding the housing 1 and control module 2 can be found in the descriptions in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0145] The housing 1 includes a shell 11, a door 12, and a water supply pipe 13. A wall-mounting mounting part 111 is provided on the back of the shell 11. An installation area 112 and a water receiving area 113 are formed on the front of the shell 11. A water storage container 16 and an electric heating element 173 are provided in the installation area 112. A water outlet 14, a water receiving tray 10, and an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 are provided in the water receiving area 113. The water supply pipe 13, the water storage container 16, and the water outlet 14 are connected in sequence. The water receiving tray 10 is located below the water outlet 14. The door 12 is configured to open and close at least the water receiving area 113. The electric heating element 173 is configured to heat the water stored in the water storage container 16. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 is configured to irradiate the water receiving area 113 with ultraviolet light to sterilize it when the door 12 is closed.

[0146] The electric heating component 173 and the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 are electrically connected to the control board 21.

[0147] Specifically, the front of the housing 11 is provided with an installation area 112 and a water receiving area 113. The installation area 112 is provided with a water storage container 16 and an electric heating element 173. The drinking water supplied by the water supply pipe 13 can be temporarily stored in the water storage container 16, and the electric heating element 173 can heat the water in the water storage container 16. Thus, during user use, when the user needs hot water, the control board 21 controls the electric heating element 173 to be powered on to heat the water in the water storage container 16. For the electric heating element 173, external heating can be used to heat the water storage container 16.

[0148] For example, the electric heating element 173 can be a PTC heating plate, with the water storage container 16 placed on its upper surface. When the PTC heating plate is powered on, the heat generated by the PTC heating plate will heat the water stored in the water storage container 16. The method of heating the water in the water storage container 16 using the electric heating element 173 can be similar to the conventional method of heating water in a kettle, and will not be limited or elaborated upon here. Generally, to meet the temperature requirements for direct drinking water, the PTC heating plate can typically heat the water storage container 16 to a direct drinking water temperature range of 40-45 degrees Celsius; no specific temperature limit is imposed here.

[0149] The water tray 10 and the spout 14 are located in the water receiving area 113, and the space formed between them can also store water containers (such as water cups). During use, the user can place the water cup on the water tray 10. After closing the door 12, a relatively enclosed space is formed between the door 12 and the water receiving area 113. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 can be powered on, and the ultraviolet rays generated by the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 can irradiate the water cup and the spout 14 in this space, thereby playing a role in sterilization and bacteriostasis.

[0150] In one embodiment, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 is arranged close to the water outlet 14;

[0151] The ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 is configured to irradiate ultraviolet light onto the water outlet 14 and the water receiving tray 10.

[0152] Specifically, in order to better perform ultraviolet sterilization on the water outlet 14, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 15 is arranged at the water outlet 14. The ultraviolet sterilization lamp 15 is closer to the water outlet 14, so that the ultraviolet rays generated by the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 15 can effectively irradiate the water outlet 14 to improve the sterilization effect.

[0153] In addition, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 15 uses a point light source, which can irradiate the generated ultraviolet light onto the water receiving tray 10 below to play a role in inhibiting bacteria.

[0154] In one embodiment, the water receiving tray 10 is provided with an independent water collecting groove 101 and an installation groove 102. The water collecting groove 101 is arranged below the water outlet 14, and the installation groove 102 is provided with an electric heating drying component 103.

[0155] The water receiving tray 10 is also provided with a shelf 104, which covers the water collection groove 101 and the mounting groove 102.

[0156] Specifically, for the water receiving tray 10, the water collecting groove 101 is arranged below the water outlet 14, so that water droplets falling from the water outlet 14 can be collected through the water collecting groove 101 during the user's water collection process. As for the mounting groove 102, which is offset from below the water outlet 14, an electric heating drying component 103 can be provided in the mounting groove 102. The electric heating drying component 103 can generate heat by being powered on to dry water containers such as water cups placed on the shelf 104.

[0157] The electric heating drying component 103 can be a PTC heating plate to achieve precise temperature control and effectively dry the water cup.

[0158] The water collection groove 101 can be connected to the drain pipe 18, allowing water in the water collection groove 101 to be discharged out through the drain pipe 18. The drain pipe 18 can be connected to the sewer pipe according to the home's decoration design.

[0159] In another embodiment, in order to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance, the door 12 also covers the installation area 112 when closed.

[0160] Specifically, the dimensions of the door 12 are designed to cover both the installation area 112 and the water receiving area 113 when the door is closed, thus making the overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing when the door is closed.

[0161] In one embodiment, when the housing 11 is provided with a mounting bracket 17, the mounting bracket 17 is provided with a horizontally arranged shelf 174, which divides the housing 11 into an upper and lower arranged mounting area 112 and a water receiving area 113.

[0162] The water storage container 16 is disposed on the shelf 174.

[0163] Specifically, the mounting bracket 17 is provided with a horizontally extending shelf 174 to meet the installation requirements of placing the water storage container 16, and the water outlet 14 is arranged below the shelf 174.

[0164] Correspondingly, the electric heating element 173 is disposed on the platform 174 and located below the water storage container 16 to meet the heating requirements of the upper water storage container 16.

[0165] By dividing the casing 1 into an installation area 112 and a water receiving area 113, the installation area 112 is equipped with a water storage container 16 and an electric heating element 173. The electric heating element 173 heats the water in the storage container 16 to supply hot water to the user. The water receiving area 113 is equipped with an ultraviolet (UV) sterilization lamp 15. When the door 12 is closed, the UV sterilization lamp 15 can be activated to perform UV sterilization on the water receiving area 113. This allows for UV sterilization of the water outlet 14 even when the machine is not in use for extended periods, reducing bacterial growth in the water at the outlet 14. The additional electric heating element 173 and UV sterilization lamp 15 meet the user's requirements for hot water and sterilization, thus enriching the functionality of the water purifier and improving the user experience.
