Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water treatment devices, and in particular to a water storage container and a water treatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Water dispensers with refrigeration functions often use an ice tank as their cooling unit. The ice tank has an inlet channel, an outlet channel, and an exhaust channel. When water flows in through the inlet channel, the gas inside the ice tank is compressed by the water flow and expelled through the exhaust channel. Currently, most water dispensers typically place the exhaust channel at the top of one end of the inner cavity. If the surface on which the device is placed is uneven, or if the device is installed or placed at an angle, the air inlet of the exhaust channel may be submerged or blocked by water, preventing the gas inside the ice tank from escaping. When the gas pressure inside the ice tank increases to a certain value, it will stop the water from flowing in. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model proposes a water storage container and a water treatment device, aiming to solve the problem that traditional water storage containers only have a single exhaust channel, and exhaust is obstructed when the exhaust channel is blocked.

[0004] The water storage container provided by this utility model includes a container body with an inner cavity. The container body is provided with at least two exhaust channels communicating with the inner cavity. The exhaust channels are located at or near the top of the container body, and at least two exhaust channels are respectively located near opposite sides of the container body.

[0005] In one embodiment, the top of the container body is rectangular, and at least two exhaust channels are disposed on the top of the container body along the length or width direction of the container body; or, at least two exhaust channels are disposed on the top of the container body along the diagonal direction of the top of the container body.

[0006] In one embodiment, the ends of each exhaust passage that are furthest from the inner cavity converge into the same main exhaust passage.

[0007] In one embodiment, each of the exhaust channels is provided with an exhaust valve, which has an exhaust state that allows the exhaust channel to be opened and a closed state that blocks the exhaust channel.

[0008] In one embodiment, the inner cavity includes a first chamber and a second chamber arranged side by side and connected to each other. The container body is provided with an inlet connected to the first chamber and an outlet connected to the second chamber. At least one exhaust channel is connected to the first chamber and located on the side of the first chamber away from the second chamber, and at least one exhaust channel is connected to the second chamber and located on the side of the second chamber away from the first chamber.

[0009] In one embodiment, an exhaust channel communicating with the first chamber is defined as a first exhaust channel, and an exhaust channel communicating with the second chamber is defined as a second exhaust channel. The first chamber and the second chamber are respectively cuboid in shape, and at least one first exhaust channel and one second exhaust channel are disposed on the top of the container body along the diagonal direction of the top of the container body.

[0010] In one embodiment, the device includes a housing and a temperature regulating assembly disposed inside the housing. The temperature regulating assembly includes a temperature regulating element and a water storage container. The temperature regulating element is thermally conductively connected to the inner cavity. In the water storage container, at least two exhaust channels are respectively located near the front and rear sides of the housing.

[0011] This utility model also proposes a water treatment device, which includes a housing and a temperature regulating component disposed inside the housing. The temperature regulating component includes a temperature regulating element and the aforementioned water storage container. The temperature regulating element is heat-conductingly connected to the inner cavity. In the water storage container, at least two exhaust channels are respectively located close to the front and rear sides of the housing.

[0012] In one embodiment, the water treatment device further includes a water filter assembly and a water circuit board, wherein the water filter assembly, the water circuit board, and the temperature control assembly are arranged sequentially from top to bottom within the housing.

[0013] In one embodiment, the water circuit board is connected to an exhaust pipe, and the ends of each exhaust channel away from the inner cavity converge into the same main exhaust channel, which is connected to the exhaust pipe.

[0014] In one embodiment, the water circuit board is connected to a wastewater discharge pipe, and the ends of each of the exhaust channels that are away from the inner cavity converge into the same main exhaust channel, which is connected to the wastewater discharge pipe.

[0015] This utility model's water storage container is equipped with at least two venting channels communicating with the inner cavity. When one venting channel is submerged due to the tilt of the water surface, at least one other venting channel remains at a higher tilt position and is not submerged. This solves the problem of venting obstruction caused by a single venting channel being submerged and blocked, improving the environmental adaptability of the water storage container in terms of venting. Furthermore, when the water storage container is placed horizontally and the water level is low, even if one venting channel is blocked by foreign objects or a malfunctioning venting valve, at least one venting channel can still vent normally, improving the reliability of the water storage container's venting.

[0022] The various specific technical features and embodiments described in the detailed embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction.

In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the various specific technical features / embodiments in this utility model will not be described separately.

[0023] This invention proposes a water storage container designed to solve the problem that traditional water storage containers only have a single venting channel, which obstructs venting when the venting channel is blocked.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 The water storage container provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a container body 21, the container body 21 has an inner cavity 211, the container body 21 is provided with at least two exhaust channels 213 that are connected to the inner cavity 211, the exhaust channels 213 are located at or near the top of the container body 21, and at least two exhaust channels 213 are respectively close to the opposite sides of the container body 21.

[0025] In practical applications, the water storage container of this invention can be installed in water treatment devices such as water dispensers, water purifiers, and water heaters. For example, when used in a water dispenser, this water storage container can serve as an ice tank in a temperature control component. These water treatment devices typically have only one venting channel 213, located at the top of one end of the water storage container. If the equipment is installed or placed at an angle, and the end with the venting channel 213 is at a lower position, the air inlet of the venting channel 213 will be submerged and blocked by water, preventing residual gas in the water storage container from venting. In contrast, the water storage container of this invention has at least two venting channels 213 connected to the inner cavity 211, and these venting channels 213 are spaced apart. Specifically, each venting channel 213 can be located on the top wall of the container body 21 or on the side wall of the container body 21, close to the top wall. The number of venting channels 213 can be two or more, ensuring that at least two venting channels 213 are located close to opposite sides of the container body 21.

[0026] In some embodiments, the container body 21 is square, and in this case, the top of the container body 21 is rectangular. Two exhaust channels 213 may be provided, and these two exhaust channels 213 may be located along the length direction of the container body 21 at the top of the container body 21. Specifically, these two exhaust channels 213 are located close to opposite sides along the length direction of the container body 21 and at the top of the container body 21. Alternatively, these two exhaust channels 213 may be located along the width direction of the container body 21 at the top of the container body 21. Specifically, these two exhaust channels 213 are located close to opposite sides along the width direction of the container body 21 and at the top of the container body 21.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the container body 21 tilts to the left or right or forward or backward, one exhaust channel 213 is in a low position and the other exhaust channel 213 is in a high position. The air inlet of the exhaust channel 213 in the low position is submerged and blocked, while the air inlet of the other exhaust channel 213 is still above the liquid surface and is in a free-flowing state. The residual gas in the water storage container can be discharged from the exhaust channel 213.

[0028] Alternatively, the two venting channels 213 can be arranged diagonally along the top of the container body 21. That is, these two venting channels 213 can be located on opposite sides of the same diagonal of the container body 21 and at the top of the container body 21. In the case of compound tilting, that is, when the container body 21 tilts in two directions simultaneously, such as tilting forward and to the left simultaneously, or tilting backward and to the right simultaneously, the water surface may present a slanted tilt. In this embodiment, the venting channels 213 are arranged at the corner of the top of the container body 21, which allows for a larger tolerance range for the tilt angle of the container body 21, ensuring that at least one venting channel 213 remains unobstructed when the water storage container undergoes compound tilting.

[0029] Of course, there can be more than two exhaust channels 213. For example, the container body 21 can be provided with exhaust channels 213 in the front, back, left and right directions at the top, or at the four corners at the top, or exhaust channels 213 can be added flexibly in different positions.

[0030] It should be noted that the main reasons for the water storage container tilting are uneven placement surface, incorrect support height, or assembly tolerances. The tilt angle caused by these reasons is usually not large, generally not exceeding 5°, and this range of tilt is difficult to detect with the naked eye. In other words, the water storage container of this invention can continuously and reliably release air even under common slight tilt conditions.

[0031] Each exhaust channel 213 is equipped with an exhaust valve (not shown). The exhaust valve has an exhaust state that opens the exhaust channel 213 and a closed state that closes the exhaust channel 213. That is, when it is necessary to exhaust the inner cavity 211, the exhaust valve is in the exhaust state. When it is not necessary to exhaust, that is, when the inner cavity 211 is full of water and there is no gas, the exhaust valve closes the exhaust channel 213, thus preventing water in the inner cavity 211 from being discharged from the exhaust channel 213. In specific applications, the exhaust valve can be, but is not limited to, a float-type check valve, a diaphragm-type check valve, or a spring-loaded check valve, etc. These valve bodies are technologies known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] In summary, the water storage container of this utility model is provided with at least two exhaust channels 213 connected to the inner cavity 211. When one exhaust channel 213 is submerged due to the tilt of the water surface, at least another exhaust channel 213 remains at a higher tilt position and is not submerged. This solves the problem of obstructed exhaust caused by the submersion and blockage of a single exhaust channel 213, improving the environmental adaptability of the water storage container in terms of exhaust. Of course, when the water storage container is placed horizontally and the water level is not high, even if one exhaust channel 213 is blocked due to foreign objects or a malfunctioning exhaust valve, at least one exhaust channel 213 can still exhaust normally, improving the reliability of the water storage container's exhaust.

[0033] In this embodiment of the water storage container, the ends of each venting channel 213 that are furthest from the inner cavity 211 can converge into the same main venting channel. Each venting channel 213 vents outward through the main venting channel, which reduces the number of long pipes and avoids multiple independent venting channels 213 intersecting and occupying too much space.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment of the water storage container, the inner cavity 211 may include a first chamber 2111 and a second chamber 2112 arranged side by side and connected to each other. The container body 21 is provided with an inlet 214 connected to the first chamber 2111 and an outlet 215 connected to the second chamber 2112. At least one exhaust channel 213 is connected to the first chamber 2111 and located on the side of the first chamber 2111 away from the second chamber 2112, and at least one exhaust channel 213 is connected to the second chamber 2112 and located on the side of the second chamber 2112 away from the first chamber 2111.

[0035] Specifically, the container body 21 has a partition 212 inside, which divides the internal chambers of the container body 21 into a first chamber 2111 and a second chamber 2112 arranged on the left and right. The partition 212 has a water passage hole 2121 to conduct water through the first chamber 2111 and the second chamber 2112. The container body 21 has a water inlet 214 communicating with the first chamber 2111 and a water outlet 215 communicating with the second chamber 2112. Water entering the water storage container from the first chamber 2111 and the second chamber 2112 first enters the first chamber 2111 through the water inlet 214, and then flows into the second chamber 2112 through the water passage hole 2121 on the partition 212 for cooling or heating. The water after temperature adjustment finally flows out through the water outlet 215. Dividing the internal chamber of the container body 21 into a first chamber 2111 and a second chamber 2112 can separate room temperature water and temperature-controlled water into separate zones, reducing the mixing intensity of room temperature water and temperature-controlled water when they first enter the water storage container, reducing heat exchange between the two, and improving the stability of the outlet water temperature.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the partition 212 may be provided with an air vent 2122, which is located above the water vent 2121 and close to the top plate of the water storage container. When the water level in the container body 21 submerges the water vent 2121, the gas in the first chamber 2111 and the second chamber 2112 flows through the air vent 2122. Furthermore, the air vent 2122's location close to the top plate of the water storage container ensures that as long as the inner chamber 211 is not full, the air vent 2122 remains above the water surface and will not be blocked by water, thus ensuring the continuity of the gas phase passage between the first chamber 2111 and the second chamber 2112.

[0037] At this time, at least one exhaust passage 213 is connected to the first chamber 2111 and located on the side of the first chamber 2111 away from the second chamber 2112, and at least one exhaust passage 213 is connected to the second chamber 2112 and located on the side of the second chamber 2112 away from the first chamber 2111. When the exhaust channel 213 connected to the first chamber 2111 is submerged by water due to the tilt of the liquid surface, at least one inlet 214 of the exhaust channel 213 connected to the second chamber 2112 is above the liquid surface, and the gas remaining in the first chamber 2111 and the second chamber 2112 can be discharged outward from the exhaust channel 213; when the exhaust channel 213 connected to the second chamber 2112 is submerged by water due to the tilt of the liquid surface, at least one inlet 214 of the exhaust channel 213 connected to the first chamber 2111 is above the liquid surface, and the gas remaining in the first chamber 2111 and the second chamber 2112 can be discharged outward from the exhaust channel 213.

[0038] An exhaust channel 213 connected to the first chamber 2111 is defined as the first exhaust channel, and an exhaust channel 213 connected to the second chamber 2112 is defined as the second exhaust channel. When the first chamber 2111 and the second chamber 2112 are respectively cuboid in shape, at least one first exhaust channel and one second exhaust channel are arranged along the diagonal direction of the top of the container body 21. In the case of compound tilting, that is, when the container body 21 tilts in two directions simultaneously, such as tilting forward and to the left simultaneously, or tilting backward and to the right simultaneously, the water surface may present a slanted tilt surface. At least one first exhaust channel and one second exhaust channel are arranged along the diagonal direction of the top of the container body 21. This allows for a larger tolerance range for the tilt angle of the container body 21, ensuring that at least one exhaust channel 213 remains unobstructed when the water storage container undergoes compound tilting.

[0039] The partition 212 and the container body 21 can be detachably connected, thus facilitating the replacement of partitions 212 with different orifice diameters and / or orifice numbers to adapt to different flow rate models. (Refer to...) Figure 1The top wall of the container body 21 may be provided with a first guide groove 216, and the bottom wall of the water storage container may be provided with a second guide groove 217. The first guide groove 216 and the second guide groove 217 are arranged opposite to each other, and the width of the first guide groove 216 and the second guide groove 217 matches the thickness of the partition 212. The partition 212 can slide along the first guide groove 216 and the second guide groove 217, thereby facilitating the removal of the partition 212.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 This utility model also proposes a water treatment device 100, which includes a housing 10 and a temperature regulating component 20 disposed inside the housing 10. The temperature regulating component 20 includes a temperature regulating element (not shown) and a water storage container. The specific structure of the water storage container is as described in the above embodiments. Since this water treatment device 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. Among them, the temperature regulating element is heat-conductingly connected to the inner cavity 211, and in the water storage container, at least two exhaust channels 213 are respectively close to the front and rear sides of the housing 10.

[0041] In practical applications, the water treatment device 100 is mostly slightly tilted in the front-back direction. "Front" refers to the side of the water treatment device 100 facing the user when in use, and "rear" refers to the side of the water treatment device 100 away from the user when in use, usually the side against the wall. In the water storage container, at least two venting channels 213 are located close to the front and rear sides of the shell 10 respectively, ensuring that the distribution of the venting channels 213 is more adapted to actual needs.

[0042] A temperature regulating element (not shown) is configured for heat conduction within the inner cavity 211. For example, the temperature regulating element can be attached to the outer or inner wall of the container body 21, or partially disposed outside and partially inside the container body 21, for cooling or heating the water in the inner cavity 211. In specific applications, the temperature regulating element can be a semiconductor refrigeration element, which has a cold end and a hot end. When the cold end is configured for heat conduction with the inner cavity 211, the semiconductor refrigeration element is used for cooling; when the hot end is configured for heat conduction with the inner cavity 211, the semiconductor refrigeration element is used for heating.

[0043] The temperature control assembly 20 may further include a heat sink 23 disposed beside the container body 21. The heat sink 23 is disposed on the side of the container body 21 in the horizontal direction and connected to the container body 21. There may be one or more heat sinks 23. The heat sink 23 is used to dissipate heat from the temperature control assembly 20 and may be an air-cooled heat sink, a water-cooled heat sink, or a semiconductor cooling heat sink. The heat sink 23 may or may not have a fan.

[0044] The housing 10 is the outer shell of the water treatment device 100, and its overall shape determines the shape of the water treatment device 100. The housing 10 has internal storage space for housing various components inside the water treatment device 100, such as the water filter assembly 30, water circuit board 40, temperature control assembly 20, and connecting pipes. The housing 10 also provides protection for these internal components. The housing 10 includes a main body 11, a front shell 12, a top cover 13, and a base 14. The main body 11 and the front shell 12 are connected laterally, the top cover 13 is vertically connected to the top of the main body 11 and the front shell 12, and the base 14 is vertically connected to the bottom of the main body 11 and the front shell 12. The main body 11, the front shell 12, the top cover 13, and the base 14 together form a closed housing 10. The main body 11 is the main structure of the housing 10, providing housing space for most of the internal components of the water treatment device 100. The water filter assembly 30, the water circuit board 40, and the temperature control assembly 20 are mainly housed in the main body 11. The front housing 12 also has a certain housing space, for example, it can accommodate components such as the support 50, the heating device 60, the pump body 70, and the water vapor separator, and can also accommodate a small portion of the volume of the water filter assembly 30, the water circuit board 40, and the temperature control assembly 20. The front housing 12 cooperates with the main body 11 to provide complete housing space for the internal components of the water treatment device 100. For example, the water filter assembly 30 can be entirely housed in the main body 11, most of the volume of the water circuit board 40 and the temperature control assembly 20 can be housed in the main body 11, and a small portion of the volume of the water circuit board 40 and the temperature control assembly 20 can be housed in the front housing 12.

[0045] In existing water treatment devices 100, the water filter assembly 30, water circuit board 40, and temperature control assembly 20 are mostly placed horizontally from left to right. In the water treatment device 100 provided in this application, the water filter assembly 30, water circuit board 40, and temperature control assembly 20 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom inside the housing 10. The water filter assembly 30 and water circuit board 40 are supported by the temperature control assembly 20. Based on this, the connection and assembly difficulty between the water filter assembly 30 and water circuit board 40, between the water filter assembly 30 and the housing 10, and between the water circuit board 40 and the housing 10 are reduced. The assembly between the water filter assembly 30 and the housing 10, and between the water circuit board 40 and the housing 10 can even be eliminated, unlike in the prior art where the water filter assembly 30 and water circuit board 40 are placed horizontally from left to right, requiring complex assembly relationships between the water circuit board 40 and the water filter assembly 30 and the housing 10. By adopting the technical solution of this application, the assembly difficulty of the water treatment device 100 can be effectively reduced, which is conducive to improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, the assembly structure is simplified, which is conducive to the simplification of the internal structure of the water treatment device 100. Furthermore, since the water filter assembly 30, the water circuit board 40, and the temperature control assembly 20 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom within the housing 10, the space occupied by the housing 10 can be reduced. The internal space of the housing 10 can be designed to be smaller, which can significantly improve the space utilization rate of the water treatment device 100 and significantly reduce the volume of the water treatment device 100.

[0046] The water filtration assembly 30 has at least one filter element and is a component for filtering water. The water circuit board 40 is a component for connecting to the filter element and the inlet and outlet water pipes, enabling integrated piping design. Raw water enters the filter element through the flow channels on the water circuit board 40. After being filtered by the filter element, the purified water re-enters the flow channels inside the water circuit board 40 and enters the water storage tank for cooling.

[0047] The water treatment device 100 also includes a heating device 60 and a pump body 70, both of which are mounted on a bracket 50. The heating device 60 can heat the filtered purified water and / or the water in the container body 21, while the pump body 70 can pump out the filtered purified water. The bracket 50 provides stable support for the heating device 60 and the pump body 70, resulting in higher installation stability. When the temperature control component 20 cools the purified water, the heating device 60 can heat the purified water, thus enabling the water treatment device 100 to simultaneously perform heating and cooling functions, increasing its applicability. When the temperature control component 20 heats the purified water, the heating device 60 can also heat the purified water, resulting in higher heating efficiency of the water treatment device 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, the water circuit board 40 may be connected to an exhaust pipe, and the ends of each exhaust channel 213 away from the inner cavity 211 converge into the same main exhaust channel, which is connected to the exhaust pipe. That is, each exhaust channel 213 is connected to the exhaust pipe through the water circuit board 40, thereby venting air outward. This design increases the utilization rate of the water circuit board 40, significantly shortens the length of the connecting pipes in the water treatment device 100, and reduces the space occupied by pipe redundancy.

[0049] In some embodiments, the water circuit board 40 is connected to a wastewater discharge pipe, which is used to discharge wastewater generated by the water filter assembly 30. The ends of each exhaust channel 213 away from the inner cavity 211 converge into the same main exhaust channel, which can be connected to the wastewater discharge pipe. In this case, the exhaust pipe and the wastewater discharge pipe share the same pipe, achieving dual use of one pipe. This design eliminates the need for a separate exhaust pipe, reducing the number of flexible or rigid pipes inside the housing 10, and saving wiring space. This ensures a compact overall structure of the water treatment device 100 while also saving costs. It should be noted that the wastewater discharge pipe itself operates intermittently and has a large diameter. Even if a small amount of gas is occasionally mixed in, it will not affect drainage. In other words, the exhaust pipe and the wastewater discharge pipe share the same pipe, which has virtually no interference with wastewater discharge.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
