[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The water treatment device shown includes an outer shell 100 and an inner shell 200. The outer shell 100 has an assembly space inside for assembling internal parts of the water treatment device. The inner shell 200 is disposed inside the outer shell 100 and divides the assembly space of the outer shell 100 into at least two assembly sections. This arrangement allows modules that are prone to interference to be assembled in different assembly sections, providing a reasonable separation between the various modules inside the water treatment device, thereby avoiding mutual interference or safety hazards between the modules.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 To be understood, the water treatment equipment provided in this application also includes a heating component 300 and a cooling component 400, which are respectively disposed in two different assembly parts. It is understood that the heating component 300 and the cooling component 400 are functionally completely opposite. Through the above design, the two components, the heating component 300 and the cooling component 400, which are prone to mutual interference, can be reasonably separated into different areas, allowing both to achieve optimal performance.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3To clarify, the water treatment equipment provided in this application also includes an electronic component 500 and a water circuit component 600. Both the electronic component 500 and the water circuit component 600 are disposed in the assembly space, with the electronic component 500 positioned near the top of the housing 100 and the water circuit component 600 positioned near the bottom of the housing 100. It is understood that the water circuit component 600 could potentially pose a safety hazard to the electronic component 500. If the water circuit component 600 leaks, and the two components are positioned close together, it could easily cause a severe short circuit in the electronic component 500, resulting in serious damage. Through the above design, by placing the electronic component 500 near the top of the housing 100 and the water circuit component 600 at the bottom of the housing 100, if the water circuit component 600 leaks due to an accident, the leaked water will not enter the electronic component 500, thus preventing serious damage to the electronic component 500.

[0028] In summary, by rationally dividing each component into different areas as described above, interference between components and some potential security risks can be avoided.

[0029] It should be noted that the aforementioned electronic component 500 refers to important circuit components such as circuit boards inside the water treatment equipment, while the water circuit component 600 refers to components such as water tanks and water pipes inside the water treatment equipment.

[0030] The technical details of each component will be introduced below.

[0031] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the outer casing 100 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12 disposed opposite to and connected along a first direction X, the first direction X being parallel to the bottom surface of the water treatment equipment. An inner housing 200 is disposed between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. The first housing 11 and the inner housing 200 enclose a first assembly portion 101, and the second housing 12 and the inner housing 200 enclose a second assembly portion 102. A heating component 300 is disposed in the first assembly portion 101, and a cooling component 400 is disposed in the second assembly portion 102. In this manner, the heating component 300 and the cooling component 400 are separated along the first direction X on both sides of the inner housing 200. In actual use, the inner housing 200 separates the heat from the heating component 300 and the cold from the cooling component 400 to avoid mutual interference.

[0032] In practical use, dividing the outer casing 100 into multiple casings facilitates the maintenance of the water treatment equipment. In some embodiments, the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 are detachably connected by screws or snap-fit ​​structures, and the inner casing 200 can also be detachably disposed between the first casing 11 and the second casing 12 by screws or snap-fit ​​structures. With this arrangement, when maintaining the water treatment equipment, only the corresponding casing needs to be disposed of, eliminating the need to disassemble the entire outer casing 100. This simplifies the maintenance and disassembly process and reduces the impact on other components during maintenance.

[0033] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the electronic component 500 is disposed in the second assembly portion 102 and is located near the top of the second housing 12. The electronic component 500 is disposed in the second assembly portion 102 to prevent the heating component 300 from affecting its operation.

[0034] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the water system assembly 600 includes a cold water tank 61, water pipes, and a water circuit board 62. The cold water tank 61 is located in the second assembly part 102. Both the cold water tank 61 and the water circuit board 62 are located near the bottom of the interior of the second housing 12. The water pipes are located near the bottom of either the first housing 11 or the second housing 12. This arrangement of the cold water tank 61, water pipes, and water circuit board 62 prevents accidental leakage from affecting the electronic component 500. Leaked water will flow towards the bottom of the second housing 12 under gravity, while the electronic component 500 is located near the top of the second housing 12. This significantly improves the safety of the electronic component 500 and eliminates potential safety hazards inside the water treatment equipment. In addition to the above effects, in practical applications, the cold water tank 61 stores cold water, which lowers the overall center of gravity of the water treatment equipment, making it more stable on the placement surface and less prone to tipping over.

[0035] Understandably, the various components of the aforementioned water circuit assembly 600 need to be connected to an external water source (such as tap water) in the usage environment via pipes. By arranging the various components of the water circuit assembly 600 near the bottom of the water treatment equipment, the connection ports between the external water treatment equipment and the external water source or pipes can be located near the bottom of the water treatment equipment. This facilitates the organization of the pipes connected to the water treatment equipment and makes the water treatment equipment more aesthetically pleasing after installation in the usage environment.

[0036] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the water treatment equipment provided in this application also includes a filter element 700 and a water circuit board 62. The filter element 700 is disposed in the second assembly part 102 and on the top of the second housing 12. The filter element 700 is disposed opposite to the cold water tank 61, and the water circuit board 62 is disposed between the filter element 700 and the cold water tank 61. Through the above design, the internal structure of the water treatment equipment can be made more compact.

[0037] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the top of the second housing 12 has an installation port 03 for inserting the filter element 700, and the water circuit plate 62 has a connecting part 621 for connecting the filter element 700. The connecting part 621 is arranged opposite to the installation port 03 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the water treatment equipment. With the above design, when assembling the filter element 700, the filter element 700 can be directly inserted vertically into the installation port 03 and then directly connected to the connecting part 621 of the water circuit plate 62, which is convenient for installation.

[0038] In some other ways of stating facts, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the cold water tank 61, water circuit board 62, and filter element 700 are arranged sequentially upwards along a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the water treatment equipment. This arrangement shortens the water distance between the three components, making the internal structure of the water treatment equipment more compact.

[0039] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the cooling component 400 is a semiconductor cooling device. The cooling component 400 includes a cooling end 401 and a heat dissipation end 402 that are opposite each other along the first direction X. This arrangement facilitates the heat released by the heat dissipation end 402 to affect the cold water tank 61. The cooling end 401 is connected to the cold water tank 61, and the cooling component 400 and the cold water tank 61 are arranged opposite each other along the first direction X.

[0040] It should be noted that the water treatment equipment provided in this application can be a water dispenser. The semiconductor cooling device is small in size and light in weight. Installing it in the water dispenser helps to reduce the weight of the water dispenser and facilitates the installation of the water dispenser and its reverse direction.

[0041] In some other embodiments, the above-described refrigeration component 400 may also be a compressor refrigeration component 400, which is suitable for installation on the refrigeration component 400 of some larger water treatment equipment.

[0042] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the top of the second housing 12, near the first housing 11, is provided with a box 02 for housing the electronic component 500. The bottom surface of the box 02 is positioned relative to the inner housing 200 along the first direction X. The box 02 can enclose the inner housing 200 to form a relatively independent space, and placing the electronic component 500 inside the box 02 can provide better protection for the electronic component 500.

[0043] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the water treatment equipment provided in this application is provided with a water outlet 01 for discharging treated water, and the water outlet 01 is located on the side of the inner housing 200 near the first housing 11. It is understood that the user obtains the treated water through the water outlet 01, so the water outlet 01 is usually quite damp and easily accumulates water droplets splashed during the discharging process. Based on the above description, the electronic component 500 is located on the side of the inner housing 200 near the second housing 12. Therefore, the water outlet 01 and the electronic component 500 are located on opposite sides of the inner housing 200 along the first direction X, thus preventing the moisture in the water outlet 01 from affecting the electronic component 500.

[0044] In some embodiments, the inner shell 200 is made of heat-insulating material, or the surface of the inner shell 200 is covered with a heat-insulating body made of heat-insulating material, such as polystyrene, mineral wool, or glass wool. Through these methods, the inner shell 200 can more effectively isolate energy between the heating module 300 and the cooling module 400, further preventing interference between the heating module and the cooling module 400.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
