Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0065] Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 8 The image shows an embodiment of the layered embedded water dispenser provided by this utility model.

[0067] See Figures 1 to 3 The stratified embedded water dispenser in this embodiment includes a main unit 1, a water storage tank 2, an inlet pipe 4, a drain pipe 5, and an outlet pipe 6.

[0068] The main unit 1 has an installation cavity 11, and the water tank 2 is detachably connected to the installation cavity 11. The main unit 1 serves as the main structure of the layered embedded water dispenser in this embodiment, providing a foundation for the installation and support of other components. By providing the installation cavity 11 on the main unit 1, a detachable connection is formed between the main unit 1 and the water tank 2, allowing the water tank 2 to be easily removed or installed from the main unit 1, thus facilitating cleaning, replacement, or maintenance by the user.

[0069] The water storage tank 2 is equipped with a partition 3, which divides the water storage tank 2 into an upper water storage area 21 and a lower water storage area 22. Through the separation of the partition 3, the interior of the water storage tank 2 is divided into two independent water storage areas. The partition 3 ensures that the water in the upper water storage area 21 and the lower water storage area 22 will not mix, thereby ensuring the purity and stability of the water quality.

[0070] The inlet pipe 4 is used to connect to an external water source to inject clean water into the water storage tank 2. The drain pipe 5 is used to drain the remaining water in the water storage tank 2. One end of the outlet pipe 6 is connected to the water storage tank 2, and the other end of the outlet pipe 6 is equipped with a water inlet a. The inlet pipe 4, drain pipe 5, and outlet pipe 6 constitute the water flow channel of the water dispenser. The inlet pipe 4 connects to an external water source to supply water to the water storage tank 2; the drain pipe 5 is used to drain the remaining water in the water storage tank 2, facilitating cleaning or water source replacement; the outlet pipe 6 connects the water storage tank 2 and the water inlet a, allowing the user to collect water from the water storage tank 2 through the water inlet a.

[0071] Therefore, in this embodiment, the layered embedded water dispenser uses the main unit 1 as its main structure, and forms a detachable connection with the water storage tank 2 through the mounting cavity 11, facilitating cleaning, replacement, or maintenance of the water storage tank 2 by the user. The partition 3 inside the water storage tank 2 divides the tank into an upper water storage area 21 and a lower water storage area 22, ensuring that the water in the upper and lower water storage areas 21 does not mix, thus guaranteeing the purity and stability of the water quality. The inlet pipe 4, the drain pipe 5, and the outlet pipe 6 constitute a complete water flow channel, achieving efficient water supply and drainage management.

[0072] See Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7Preferably, the water inlet pipe 4 is connected to the upper water storage area 21, and the partition plate 3 is provided with a water passage hole 31 connecting the upper water storage area 21 and the lower water storage area 22. The water passage hole 31 is equipped with a one-way valve 32 that only allows water to flow from the upper water storage area 21 to the lower water storage area 22. When the water inlet pipe 4 is connected to an external water source, the water first enters the upper water storage area 21 through the water inlet pipe 4. When the water in the upper water storage area 21 reaches a set amount, the one-way valve 32 is opened under the pressure of the water flow, and the water flows from the upper water storage area 21 to the lower water storage area 22 through the water passage hole 31. After the lower water storage area 22 is filled with water, the one-way valve 32 closes to prevent water from flowing back from the lower water storage area 22 to the upper water storage area 21. Through the partition 3 and the one-way valve 32, the upper water storage area 21 and the lower water storage area 22 in the water storage tank 2 can be managed in layers. The upper water storage area 21 is mainly used to receive and store newly injected water, while the lower water storage area 22 is used to store water that has been stored for a certain period of time. In this embodiment, the partition 3 is provided with a plurality of water passage holes 31 arranged in an array. Preferably, the edge of the partition 3 is provided with a sealing ring 33 that fits tightly against the inner wall of the water storage tank 2. The sealing ring 33 ensures the sealing between the partition 3 and the inner wall of the water storage tank 2, preventing water leakage between the upper water storage area 21 and the lower water storage area 22, and ensuring the effectiveness of layered management.

[0073] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 Preferably, the bottom surface of the water tank 2 is provided with a sliding block 23, and the main unit 1 is provided with a sliding groove 12 that matches the sliding block 23. The water tank 2 is slidably connected to the mounting cavity 11 through the cooperation of the sliding block 23 and the sliding groove 12. The water tank 2 can slide along the direction of the sliding groove 12 through the cooperation of the sliding block 23 and the sliding groove 12, so that the water tank 2 can be easily inserted into and removed from the mounting cavity 11. The sliding groove 12 provides a guiding function for the installation and disassembly of the water tank 2, ensuring that the water tank 2 can be accurately installed into the main unit 1 and maintain the correct orientation and position during the installation process. The cooperation of the sliding block 23 and the sliding groove 12 makes the installation and disassembly of the water tank 2 very convenient. The user only needs to slide the water tank 2 along the direction of the sliding groove 12 to complete the installation or disassembly operation. Thus, the user can clean and replace the water tank 2 by himself, reducing the reliance on professional maintenance personnel and reducing maintenance costs.

[0074] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 Preferably, the main unit 1 is provided with a socket 13 that communicates with the sliding groove 12. A pin 14 is inserted into the socket 13. The pin 14 is used to extend into the sliding groove 12 and abut against the sliding block 23 to restrict the sliding of the sliding block 23.

[0075] When installing the water tank 2 onto the main unit 1, with the pin 14 in the pulled-out state, align the sliding block 23 of the water tank 2 with the sliding groove 12 on the main unit 1, and slowly push the water tank 2 into the mounting cavity 11 of the main unit 1 along the direction of the sliding groove 12. The sliding block 23 will slide along the sliding groove 12 until the water tank 2 is completely inside the mounting cavity 11. After the water tank 2 is completely inside the mounting cavity 11, insert the pin 14 into the socket 13 on the main unit 1. The pin 14 will extend into the sliding groove 12 and abut against the sliding block 23, thereby restricting the sliding of the sliding block 23 and fixing the water tank 2 onto the main unit 1. Finally, connect and fix the water outlet of the water tank 2 to the water outlet pipe 6.

[0076] When removing the water tank 2 from the main unit 1, first disconnect the connection between the outlet of the water tank 2 and the outlet pipe 6. Then, pull out the pin 14 from the socket 13 on the main unit 1. Pulling out the pin 14 will release the restriction on the sliding block 23, allowing the sliding block 23 to slide along the sliding groove 12. Slowly pull the water tank 2 out of the mounting cavity 11 of the main unit 1 along the direction of the sliding groove 12. The sliding block 23 will slide along the sliding groove 12 until the water tank 2 is completely removed from the mounting cavity 11.

[0077] See Figure 2 Preferably, the water inlet pipe 4 is equipped with a filter element assembly 41 for purifying water. The filter element assembly 41 can effectively remove impurities, odors, and heavy metals from the water, improving the purity of the water. Water purified by the filter element assembly 41 has a better taste and is more suitable for direct drinking.

[0078] See Figure 3 Preferably, the drain pipe 5 includes a first drain pipe 51 connected to the upper water storage area 21 and a second drain pipe 52 connected to the lower water storage area 22. Through the first drain pipe 51 and the second drain pipe 52, residual water in the upper water storage area 21 and the lower water storage area 22 can be discharged separately through their respective drain pipes, preventing the water in the upper water storage area 21 and the lower water storage area 22 from mixing during the drainage process, thereby maintaining the stratification stability and purity of the water quality. At the same time, the user can control the drainage operation of the upper water storage area 21 and the lower water storage area 22 separately as needed, improving the flexibility and accuracy of drainage.

[0079] See Figure 5 and Figure 8Preferably, the water outlet pipe 6 includes a cold water outlet pipe 61 and a warm water outlet pipe 62. The cold water outlet pipe 61 is connected to the upper water storage area 21, and the warm water outlet pipe 62 is connected to the lower water storage area 22. A heating module 621 and a temperature display 622 are provided on the warm water outlet pipe 62 near the water inlet a. The upper water storage area 21 stores newly injected water, and the lower water storage area 22 stores water that has been stored for a certain period of time. The cold water outlet pipe 61 delivers newly injected water from the upper water storage area 21 to the water inlet a, which the user can drink directly. The warm water outlet pipe 62 delivers water that has been stored for a certain period of time from the lower water storage area 22 to the water inlet a. Before drinking, the user needs to heat the water using the heating module 621. Heating by the heating module 621 kills bacteria in the water, further ensuring water quality safety. When the user needs warm water, the water flows through the warm water outlet pipe 62 into the heating module 621, where the heating module 621 heats the water. The heated water continues to flow through the warm water outlet pipe 62 to the water inlet a, while the temperature display 622 displays the current water temperature in real time, allowing the user to select the appropriate time to dispense water based on the displayed temperature.

[0080] See Figure 1 Preferably, the host 1 is equipped with a control panel 7, which includes a water level display 71 and control buttons 72. Water level sensors 8 are installed in both the upper water storage area 21 and the lower water storage area 22. The water level display 71 displays the water levels in the upper and lower water storage areas 21 and 22 via the water level sensors 8. In this embodiment, the water level sensors 8 in the upper and lower water storage areas 21 and 22 are wirelessly connected to the water level display 71. The water level sensors 8 detect the water levels in the upper and lower water storage areas 21 and 22 in real time and transmit the data to the water level display 71 via wireless signals. The water level display 71 receives and displays the water level information in the upper and lower water storage areas 21 and 22, allowing the user to intuitively understand the amount of water in the water tank 2.

[0081] Both the inlet pipe 4 and the drain pipe 5 are equipped with solenoid valves 9, and the control button 72 is used to control the opening and closing of the solenoid valves 9 on the inlet pipe 4 and the drain pipe 5. In this embodiment, the control button 72 and the solenoid valve 9 are wirelessly connected, and the solenoid valve 9 receives the instructions from the control button 72 via wireless signals. The user can conveniently control the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 9 through the control button 72, thereby controlling the water inlet and drainage operations.

[0082] In this embodiment, the water level display 71 and control button 72 allow users to easily manage the water volume and flow in the water tank 2, reducing operational complexity. The water level sensor 8 and solenoid valve 9 enable the water dispenser to have intelligent functions, automatically detecting and controlling the water level, thus improving the dispenser's overall intelligence.

[0083] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
