[0032] To make the technical solution and features of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are only for illustrating this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. After reading this utility model, any modifications of this utility model by those skilled in the art in various equivalent forms fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0033] refer to Figures 1-11 This embodiment provides a water dispensing terminal, including a water dispensing terminal body 1 and a detachable functional module 2. In this embodiment, the functional module 2 is taken as a battery module, wherein the functional module 2 is used to supply power to the electronic components in the water dispensing terminal body 1, enabling the water dispensing terminal body 1 to have electronic functions, such as playing music, human body detection, etc. The functional module 2 can also be other modules, such as a filter module.

[0034] To accommodate the functional module 2, the water outlet terminal body 1 is provided with a lower water body 11, which has a chamber for housing the functional module 2. The inner wall of the chamber is provided with a movable component 12 that cooperates with the functional module 2. When the functional module 2 is inserted into the chamber, the movable component 12 and the functional module 2 move in conjunction along the insertion direction to move the movable component 12 from a first position to a second or third position. The water outlet terminal body 1 is also provided with a limiting component 13 that cooperates with the movable component 12. When the movable component 12 is in the second position, the limiting component 13 and the movable component 12 are limited in the opposite direction of the insertion of the functional module 2. When the movable component 12 is in the third position, the limiting component 13 and the movable component 12 are released from the limiting engagement.

[0035] The aforementioned water outlet terminal, through the coordinated action of the movable component 12 and the functional module 2, allows the movable component 12 to change position during the insertion of the functional module 2. After the functional module 2 is installed, the movable component 12 is fixed in the second position, thus securing the functional module 2 in that position and completing its installation. When it is necessary to disassemble the functional module 2, simply pushing the functional module 2 again to move the movable component 12 to the third position releases the fixation on the movable component 12, allowing it to return to the first position from the third position. This enables the functional module 2 to be removed from the chamber, achieving rapid installation and disassembly of the functional module 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the third position is located downstream of the second position along the insertion direction of the functional module 2. Therefore, when removing the functional module 2, the user only needs to push the functional module 2 towards the bottom of the chamber again to unlock and remove the functional module 2.

[0037] To achieve the limiting engagement and release of the limiting engagement between the limiting member 13 and the movable member 12, in this embodiment, the movable member 12 has a first guide groove 121, a second guide groove 122, and a limiting groove 123 connecting the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122; the ends of the first guide groove 121 and the second guide groove 122 are located upstream of the limiting groove 123 along the insertion direction of the functional module 2; the side of the second guide groove 122 away from the limiting groove 123 is connected to the first guide groove 121;

[0038] When the movable part 12 moves from the first position to the second position, the limiting part 13 moves along the first guide groove 121. When the movable part 12 is in the second position, the limiting part 13 enters the limiting groove 123 and engages with the limiting groove 123 in a limiting fit against the insertion direction of the functional module 2. When the movable part 12 moves from the second position to the third position, the limiting part 13 enters the second guide groove 122 from the limiting groove 123. When the movable part 12 moves from the third position to the first position, the limiting part 13 moves along the second guide groove 122 and enters the first guide groove 121.

[0039] After the above settings, the first guide groove 121, the limiting groove 123 and the second guide groove 122 form a track for the continuous movement of the limiting member 13. The limiting member 13 can achieve the limiting engagement and release of the limiting engagement between the limiting member 13 and the movable member 12 by moving to different positions in this track.

[0040] Furthermore, to allow the limiting member 13 to move within this track, in this embodiment, the limiting member 13 is a swing rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first fixed cylinder 112 on the lower water body 11. Since the limiting member 13 can swing, when it moves to the end of the first guide groove 121, the pushing force of the first guide groove 121 on the limiting member 13 will cause it to swing into the limiting groove 123. Similarly, when the movable member 12 moves from the second position to the third position, the pushing force between the limiting groove 123 and the limiting member 13 will also cause it to swing into the second guide groove 122.

[0041] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the linkage between the functional module 2 and the movable part 12, the movable part 12 has a baffle 124 extending radially inward along the cavity; when the functional module 2 is inserted into the cavity, the functional module 2 and the baffle 124 abut against each other to form a linkage along the insertion direction.

[0042] However, the above structure can only achieve the linkage between functional module 2 and movable part 12 along the battery insertion direction. When movable part 12 is fixed in the second position, since functional module 2 and movable part 12 do not form a linkage in the opposite direction of battery insertion, functional module 2 will fall out of the cavity and cannot be fixed. To solve this problem, the movable part 12 in this embodiment also includes a locking member 125. When the movable part 12 moves from the first position to the second position, the locking member 125 locks with the functional module 2 to fix the functional module 2 and the movable part 12. That is, the baffle 124 drives the movable part 12 to move together when the functional module 2 contacts the movable part 12, and then the locking member 125 fixes the movable part 12 and the functional module 2 together during the movement of the movable part 12. In this way, when the movable part 12 moves to the second position, the locking member 125 and the functional module 2 are fixed together in the second position. Similarly, when the movable part 12 moves from the third position to the first position, the locking part 125 releases the movable part 12 and the functional module 2, so that the functional module 2 can be taken out.

[0043] In this embodiment, the locking member 125 engages with a reversing member 14 in a reversible manner. The reversing member 14 reverses the movement of the movable member 12 along the insertion direction of the functional module 2, causing the locking member 125 to swing from the unlocked position to the locked position. Correspondingly, the side of the functional module 2 is provided with a locking groove 21 that engages with the locking member 125. When the locking member 125 is in the locked position, the locking block 1252 on the locking member 125 swings into the locking groove 21.

[0044] To achieve the aforementioned reversing process, in this embodiment, the reversing member 14 is an inclined surface, and the locking member 125 has a guide block 1251 abutting against the inclined surface. During the movement of the movable member 12 from the first position to the second position, the guide block 1251 moves from the top to the bottom of the inclined surface. Since the distance between the inclined surface and the axis of the chamber gradually decreases from the top to the bottom, the locking member 125 swings radially inward along the chamber. During the movement of the movable member 12 from the third position to the first position, the guide block 1251 moves from the bottom to the top of the inclined surface, and the locking member 125 swings radially outward along the chamber under its own elastic force. Furthermore, in this embodiment, in addition to the reversing member 14, a limiting baffle 16 is also provided on the lower water body 11 on the outer side of the bottom of the inclined surface. When the guide block 1251 moves from the top to the bottom of the inclined surface, the limiting baffle 16 can block the guide block 1251, preventing it from moving further. The lower water body 11 is also provided with a mounting groove 17 for installing the movable part 12.

[0045] To further enhance the ease of disassembly of functional module 2, this embodiment also includes an elastic reset member 15. One end of the elastic reset member 15 is attached to the cylinder 111 of the lower water body 11 to form a fixed end, and the other end is connected to the second fixed cylinder 126 of the movable member 12 to form a movable end. During the movement of the movable member 12 from the first position to the second position, the elastic reset member 15 accumulates elastic reset force. Thus, during the movement of the movable member 12 from the third position to the first position, the elastic reset member 15 can release the elastic force to push the functional module 2 outward, making the entire disassembly process faster and less strenuous.

[0046] Finally, to ensure that the functional module 2 can be inserted in the correct orientation, allowing the locking block 1252 on the locking connector 125 to swing into the locking groove 21, the functional module 2 has a guide protrusion 22 on its side and a groove on the inner wall of the chamber that mates with the protrusion 22. Thus, the functional module 2 can only be inserted into the chamber when it rotates to the position where the guide protrusion 22 aligns with the groove. Furthermore, the lower body 11 has an elastic rib 113 on the inner wall of the chamber, with a limiting protrusion 114 at its free end. This is to prevent the functional module 2 from falling directly under gravity in the unlocked state. The limiting protrusion 114 provides a limiting force to the functional module 2. The user needs to apply an external force to pull the functional module 2, causing the elastic rib 113 to open, thus releasing the limiting force of the limiting protrusion 114 on the functional module 2.

[0047] The above is only one specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
