[0046] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the drinking water device provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a body 1, a front shell assembly 2, and a shield 3. The body 1 is provided with an ice-making module. The front shell assembly 2 is installed on the body 1 and is provided with a tea outlet 211, an ice outlet 212, and a water outlet 213. The ice outlet 212 is connected to the ice-making module. The shield 3 is detachably connected to the front shell assembly 2, and the shield 3 includes a panel 31 that fits against the front shell assembly 2. The shield 3 is provided with a first through hole 301 and a second through hole 302 penetrating the panel 31. The first through hole 301 is opposite to the ice outlet 212, and the second through hole 302 is opposite to the water outlet 213.

[0047] This water dispenser can be a tabletop, floor-standing, built-in, or pipeline machine, with the tea / coffee spout corresponding to functions such as brewing tea or coffee. The main body 1 is equipped with an ice-making module, which is used to produce ice cubes and output them through the ice outlet 212.

[0048] The main body 1 can also be equipped with a water tank module, a cooling module, and a heating module. The ice-making module, cooling module, and heating module are respectively connected to the water tank module. The cooling module and heating module are respectively connected to the water outlet 213 to output hot or cold water to the water outlet 213. The tea / drinking spout 211 can be used to connect a filter device 6, such as a coffee funnel or filter screen. The heating module is connected to the tea / drinking spout 211 to output hot water to the filter device 6 for users to make coffee or tea. Furthermore, the main body 1 can also be equipped with a water purification module. The water tank module is connected to the ice-making module, heating module, and cooling module through the water purification module.

[0049] The front shell assembly 2 can be installed on the front side of the main body 1. In use, the front shell assembly 2 is located on the side of the water dispenser facing the user. The tea outlet 211, ice outlet 212, and water outlet 213 are formed in the front shell assembly 2, and are usually located in the upper part of the front shell assembly 2. The ice outlet 212 and water outlet 213 can be set close together to increase the distance between the ice outlet 212 and water outlet 213 and the tea outlet 211, saving the receiving space 20 while meeting the needs of simultaneously receiving tea and ice, or simultaneously receiving tea and water.

[0050] The shield 3 is detachably mounted to the ice outlet 212 and water outlet 213 via a mounting bracket. The panel 31 of the mounting bracket is attached to the front housing assembly 2. The first through hole 301 of the shield 3 faces the ice outlet 212 to avoid ice discharge, and the second through hole 302 of the shield 3 faces the water outlet 213 to avoid water discharge. It is understood that the panel 31 surrounds and covers a portion of the area around the ice outlet 212 and water outlet 213. Thus, when ice cubes fall into the cup, liquid splashed near the ice outlet 212 and water outlet 213 will adhere to the panel 31. The user can remove the shield 3 for cleaning.

[0051] The drinking water device provided in this embodiment of the utility model has a shield 3 detachably connected to the front shell assembly 2 of the drinking water device. The panel 31 of the shield 3 is attached to the front shell assembly 2 to cover the area around the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213, thus shielding the area around the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213. The liquid splashed around the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213 caused by the falling ice will adhere to the panel 31. The area around the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213 can be cleaned simply by removing the shield 3, which makes cleaning convenient and reduces the difficulty of cleaning the dead corner area around the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213. Because of the presence of the shield 3, there is no need to worry about cleaning dead corners between the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213. The ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213 are set close together, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the water drinking equipment. It can also increase the distance between the tea outlet 211 and the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213, so as to meet the needs of receiving tea and ice cubes at the same time in a limited space, as well as the needs of receiving tea and water at the same time.

[0052] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a tea-drinking connector 23 is installed at the tea-drinking spout 211, and a filter device 6 is detachably connected to the tea-drinking connector 23. The filter device 6 has a first outlet 61 and a second outlet 62 arranged along the arrangement direction of the tea-drinking spout 211, the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213.

[0053] In this configuration, the tea outlet 211, ice outlet 212, and water outlet 213 are arranged along the first direction, and the first outlet 61 and the second outlet 62 are also arranged along the first direction. For example, the filter device 6 is a coffee funnel. Due to the compact arrangement of the ice outlet 212 and water outlet 213, a wider receiving space 20 can be reserved below the tea outlet 211, thus allowing the filter device 6 with the first outlet 61 and the second outlet 62 to be installed, enabling the simultaneous collection of two cups of tea.

[0054] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the shielding member 3 further includes a first connecting portion 32 and a second connecting portion 33. The first connecting portion 32 and the second connecting portion 33 protrude from the side of the panel 31 facing the front shell assembly 2 and engage with the front shell assembly 2. A first through hole 301 penetrates the first connecting portion 32, and a second through hole 302 penetrates the second connecting portion 33.

[0055] The front shell assembly 2 has a first groove and a second groove corresponding to the positions of the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213. The ice outlet 212 is located in the first groove, and the water outlet 213 is located in the second groove. A first connecting part 32 is located in the first groove, achieving a concave-convex fit, and connecting the first through hole 301 to the ice outlet 212. A second connecting part 33 is located in the second groove, achieving a concave-convex fit, and connecting the second through hole 302 to the water outlet 213. Through the concave-convex fit between the first connecting part 32 and the front shell assembly 2, and the concave-convex fit between the second connecting part 33 and the front shell assembly 2, the alignment and installation of the shielding part 3 and the front shell assembly 2 are achieved, which facilitates the rapid installation of the shielding part 3.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the shielding member 3 further includes a buffer part 34, which is connected to the first connecting part 32 and located inside the ice outlet 212. The buffer part 34 is configured to flexibly deform downwards under external force and to recover its deformation upwards after the external force is removed. The buffer part 34 is used to buffer the ice block, preventing it from being transported to the ice outlet 212 at too high a speed, thereby reducing or preventing liquid splashing.

[0057] Specifically, the buffer includes an annular mounting portion 341 and a flexible shielding portion 342. The annular mounting portion 341 is mounted on the first connecting portion 32, and the flexible shielding portion 342 is located inside the annular mounting portion 341 and extends from the annular mounting portion 341 towards the center of the ice outlet 212. The flexible shielding portion 342 can be made of materials such as silicone. When the ice block moves towards the ice outlet 212 under the action of gravity, it applies a force to the flexible shielding portion 342, causing it to deform flexibly. After the ice block falls, the flexible shielding portion 342, since it is not subjected to external force, can deform upwards to shield the ice outlet 212, reducing or preventing splashed liquid from entering the ice outlet 212 and ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the ice outlet 212.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first connecting portion 32 is located inside the ice outlet 212 and is magnetically connected to the inner peripheral wall of the ice outlet 212. It is understood that the first groove penetrates the front shell assembly 2 to form the ice outlet 212, and the first connecting portion 32 is housed within the ice outlet 212. The first connecting portion 32 is an annular mounting portion 341, whose annular sidewall is magnetically connected to the inner peripheral wall of the ice outlet 212, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the shielding member 3 and the front shell assembly 2.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the peripheral sidewall of the first connecting part 32 is provided with a magnetic 35, and a magnet 22 is provided on the front shell assembly 2 at a position corresponding to the ice outlet 212. The magnetic 35 is made of a material that can be attracted by the magnet 22, such as stainless steel. When the first connecting part 32 is inserted into the ice outlet 212, the magnetic attraction between the magnetic 35 and the magnet 22 achieves magnetic fixation between the first connecting part 32 and the front shell assembly 2.

[0060] Optionally, the magnetic attractor 35 is an annular structure surrounding the first connecting portion 32, and the front shell assembly 2 is embedded with multiple magnets 22 arranged around the ice outlet 212. For example, the ice outlet 212 is a square opening, with two magnets 22 corresponding to each side of the square opening, meaning that the first connecting portion 32 is magnetically fixed by eight magnets 22. It should be noted that the magnetic attractor 35 can also be provided on the front shell assembly 2 at a position corresponding to the ice outlet 212, and magnets 22 can be provided on the peripheral sidewall of the first connecting portion 32.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the front shell assembly 2 is provided with a positioning groove 215, and the water outlet 213 is disposed within the positioning groove 215. The second connecting part 33 is engaged with the positioning groove 215, or the second connecting part 33 is magnetically connected to the bottom of the positioning groove 215. This allows for a detachable connection between the second connecting part 33 and the front shell assembly 2, and also provides vertical restraint for the second connecting part 33, preventing it from falling downwards relative to the front shell assembly 2.

[0062] The positioning groove 215 is the second groove in the above embodiment. The engagement between the second connecting part 33 and the groove wall of the positioning groove 215 can be such that the second connecting part 33 is in close contact with the groove wall of the positioning groove 215, and the friction between the two forms a limit on the second connecting part 33; or, one of the second connecting part 33 and the groove wall of the positioning groove 215 is provided with a groove, and the other is provided with a locking protrusion, and the locking engagement of the groove and the locking protrusion forms a limit on the second connecting part 33 in the vertical direction.

[0063] When the second connecting part 33 is engaged with the groove wall of the positioning groove 215, the positioning groove 215 can penetrate the front shell assembly 2 to form a water outlet 213. Alternatively, the positioning groove 215 can be a blind groove recessed in the front shell assembly 2, with the water outlet 213 penetrating the bottom of the positioning groove 215. The area of ​​the positioning groove 215 is larger than the area of ​​the water outlet 213. This increases the contact area between the groove wall of the positioning groove 215 and the second connecting part 33, thereby increasing the friction between the groove wall of the positioning groove 215 and the second connecting part 33 and improving the stability of the connection between the second connecting part 33 and the front shell assembly 2.

[0064] In some embodiments, the shielding member 3 is magnetically connected to the inner peripheral wall of the ice outlet 212 via the first connecting part 32, and engages with the positioning groove 215 via the second connecting part 33, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the shielding member 3 and the front shell assembly 2 and preventing the shielding member 3 from falling. Simultaneously, since no other connecting parts are required, the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213 can be compactly arranged, facilitating equipment miniaturization. When the shielding member 3 is transparent, the magnetic structure is hidden within the ice outlet 212, thus not affecting the appearance of the shielding member 3.

[0065] When the second connecting part 33 is magnetically connected to the bottom of the positioning groove 215, one of the front shell assembly 2 and the second connecting part 33 is provided with a magnet corresponding to the bottom of the positioning groove 215, and the other is provided with a magnetic suction element, so that the second connecting part 33 is magnetically connected to the bottom of the positioning groove 215. The ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213 are arranged in the first direction, and the magnetic suction structure (magnet or magnetic suction element) and the second through hole 302 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. This avoids the magnetic suction structure occupying space in the first direction, allowing the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213 to be compactly arranged, which is beneficial for equipment miniaturization. In this embodiment, the shielding part 3 can be set as a non-transparent part to prevent the magnetic suction structure on the second connecting part 33 from affecting the appearance.

[0066] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a water connector 24 is installed at the water outlet 213, and the water connector 24 is connected to the water pipe inside the body 1. The other end of the water pipe can be connected to the water tank module. The water connector 24 passes through the second through hole 302 and is located on the inner side of the outer surface of the panel 31, that is, the water connector 24 does not protrude from the panel 31, which reduces the amount of splashed liquid adhering to the water connector 24. The water connector 24 is decorated by the shielding part 3, eliminating the need for a threaded connection of the output head at the water connector 24 as in traditional structures, simplifying the water outlet structure and making installation convenient.

[0067] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a marking portion 311 is provided on the front side of the panel 31 facing the front housing assembly 2. The marking portion 311 is located between the ice outlet 212 and the water outlet 213. The marking portion 311 is either a groove or a protrusion. The marking portion 311 makes it easier for users to distinguish the functional areas on the shielding assembly, such as the left side corresponding to the position of the ice outlet 212 and the right side corresponding to the position of the water outlet 213.

[0068] Specifically, the front shell assembly 2 has a mounting plate 21 with its surface facing downwards. A tea / drink spout 211, an ice spout 212, and a water spout 213 are disposed on the mounting plate 21. A shield 3 is detachably connected to the mounting plate 21, and its panel 31 is fitted against the mounting plate 21. Further, the mounting plate 21 has a boss 214 with a downward-facing mounting surface and a peripheral side surface connected to the mounting surface. The ice spout 212 and water spout 213 are disposed on the mounting surface, and the panel 31 is fitted against the mounting surface. The marking portion 311 is a recessed groove relative to the peripheral side surface. The marking portion 311 can also be a protrusion relative to the peripheral side surface.

[0069] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the drinking water device provided in this embodiment of the present invention also includes a water receiving box 4. The front shell assembly 2 is recessed rearward to form a receiving space 20. The tea outlet 211, the ice outlet 212, and the water outlet 213 are located in the upper part of the receiving space 20, and the water receiving box 4 is located in the lower part of the receiving space 20. The water receiving box 4 includes a box body 41 and a box cover 42, and the box cover 42 is detachably disposed on the box body 41.

[0070] The mounting plate 21 is located at the top of the receiving space 20, and the tea spout 211, ice spout 212, and water spout 213 are disposed on the mounting plate 21. The bottom of the front shell assembly 2 has a receiving groove, and the water receiving box 4 is disposed in the receiving groove. The water receiving box 4 and the mounting plate 21 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. The box cover 42 can also be used to place a water cup. The box cover 42 has a hole connecting the box body 41 and the receiving space 20, so that liquid falling on the water receiving box 4 can enter the box body 41 through the hole.

[0071] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the lid 42 is provided with an opening 421, a flat portion 422, and a grille portion 423. The opening 421 is vertically opposite to the water outlet 213, the flat portion 422 is vertically opposite to the ice outlet 212, and the grille portion 423 surrounds the opening 421 and the flat portion 422, and is opposite to the tea drinking spout 211.

[0072] The opening 421 allows water flowing from the spout 213 to enter the container 41 without obstruction, preventing water from splashing onto the lid 42. The different structures of the opening 421 and the planar surface 422 create functional zones, making it easy for users to identify the positions of the ice spout 212 and the water spout 213, preventing users from placing the cup in the wrong position and causing liquid splashing. The grille 423 surrounds the opening 421 and the planar surface 422 and is opposite the tea spout 211. It allows liquid falling from the tea spout 211 or other splashed liquids to enter the cup. It also creates a functional zone relative to the water spout 213 and the ice spout 212, making it easy for users to identify the position of the tea spout 211 and preventing liquid splashing from being placed in the wrong position.

[0073] Furthermore, a float 43 is provided inside the box 41 to indicate the water level inside the box 41. The top of the float 43 is opposite to a gap in the grid section 423 and can pass through the grid gap when the water level rises. When the water level inside the box 41 reaches a certain height, the top of the float 43 will pass through the grid gap, making the float 43 visible to the user, indicating that the user needs to empty the water.

[0074] The box body 41 is provided with a guide rod 44 extending vertically. The buoy 43 is movably sleeved on the guide rod 44 in the vertical direction to keep the top of the buoy 43 opposite to the gap of the fixed grid and prevent the buoy 43 from drifting.

[0075] like Figure 8 As shown in this embodiment of the invention, the box body 41 is provided with two partitions 45. The two partitions 45 are arranged at intervals along the arrangement direction of the tea outlet 211, ice outlet 212, and water outlet 213, dividing the interior of the box body 41 into a water receiving area 46 and two water-blocking areas 47 located on both sides of the water receiving area 46. The tea outlet 211, ice outlet 212, and water outlet 213 are vertically opposite to the water receiving area 46.

[0076] Specifically, the tea outlet 211, ice outlet 212, and water outlet 213 are arranged in the first direction, and the box body 41 is an elongated box body 41 extending along the first direction. Two partitions 45 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, dividing the internal space of the box body 41 into a water receiving area 46 in the middle and two water blocking areas 47 on both sides of the water receiving area 46. A buoy 43 is set in the water receiving area 46.

[0077] The tea-drinking spout 211, ice-dispensing spout 212, and water-dispensing spout 213 are vertically aligned with the water-receiving area 46, allowing liquid flowing from the tea-drinking spout 211 and water-dispensing spout 213 to enter the water-receiving area 46. Due to the presence of the two partitions 45, liquid entering the water-receiving area 46 cannot enter the water-blocking areas 47 on both sides. Thus, when the user retrieves the container 41, it can be retrieved from the two water-blocking areas 47, preventing the user's fingers from contacting the water inside the container 41, maintaining a clean user experience when retrieving the container 41.

[0078] It should be noted that in the diagram, the tea outlet 211, ice outlet 212, and water outlet 213 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. Of course, it is also possible that the tea outlet 211, water outlet 213, and ice outlet 212 are arranged sequentially along the first direction.

[0079] Furthermore, each partition 45 includes a panel 451 and a handle 452, with the handle 452 bent away from the panel 451 in a direction away from the water-receiving area 46. The panel 451 is vertically positioned within the box 41, and the handle 452 is connected to the top of the panel 451. Users can easily lift the box 41 by grasping the handle 452. Because the handle 452 is bent away from the panel 451 in a direction away from the water-receiving area 46, it prevents the user from contacting the water in the water-receiving area 46 when grasping the handle 452.

[0080] like Figure 7 As shown, the drinking water device provided in this embodiment of the present invention also includes a door panel 5. The door panel 5 is installed on the front shell assembly 2 and forms an accommodating space with the front shell assembly 2. The lid 42 is in a limiting fit with the door panel 5. Specifically, when the lid 42 is covering the box body 41, the door panel 5 is limited between the lid 42 and the front shell assembly 2 to close the accommodating space; when the lid 42 is removed, the door panel 5 can open the accommodating space.

[0081] Specifically, the door panel 5 is located on one side of the water receiving box 4. The height of the box body 41 is lower than the bottom of the door panel 5, and the height of the lid 42 is higher than the bottom of the door panel 5. When the lid 42 is on the box body 41, the door panel 5 is confined between the lid 42 and the front shell assembly 2, and the door panel 5 cannot be opened. When the lid 42 is on the box body 41, it contacts the limiting position of the door panel 5, and the door panel 5 can move towards the water receiving box 4 to open the receiving space. This embodiment uses the height difference design between the lid 42 of the water receiving box 4 and the door panel 5 to limit the door panel 5, which can prevent the door panel 5 from being opened accidentally.

[0082] Optionally, the front shell assembly 2 is provided with a pivot, and the door panel 5 is rotatably connected to the pivot. Alternatively, the door panel 5 is connected to the front shell assembly 2 by magnetic attraction and / or snap-fit.

[0083] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, the front housing assembly 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​member 25, which is located within the receiving space and is adapted to snap-fit ​​with the filter device 6. The filter device 6 can be a coffee funnel or a filter screen, etc. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​member 25 is provided with a slot, which is adapted to snap-fit ​​with the handle of the filter device 6.

[0084] Optionally, the front housing assembly 2 is provided with a mounting hole communicating with the body 1 at the position corresponding to the receiving space, and the mounting hole is used to take out and put in the filter element.

[0085] Furthermore, there are two door panels 5, which are respectively located on both sides of the water receiving box 4. One door panel 5 is rotatably connected to the front shell assembly 2, and the other door panel 5 is snap-fitted and / or magnetically connected to the front shell assembly 2. The box cover 42 simultaneously limits the movement of both door panels 5.

[0086] Optionally, the door panel 5 is provided with multiple buckles, and the front shell assembly 2 is provided with multiple slots. The multiple buckles and multiple slots are connected one-to-one to achieve the connection between the door panel 5 and the front shell assembly 2. Alternatively, the door panel 5 is provided with multiple magnetic components, and the front shell assembly 2 is provided with multiple magnets. The multiple magnetic components and multiple magnets attract each other one-to-one to achieve the magnetic connection between the door panel 5 and the front shell assembly 2.

[0087] Specifically, one door panel 5 is rotatably connected to the front housing assembly 2, and the receiving space formed by the door panel 5 and the front housing assembly 2 can be used to store the filter device 6. The other door panel 5 is connected to the front housing assembly 2 by magnetic attraction and / or snap-fit, and the receiving space formed by the door panel 5 and the front housing assembly 2 can be used to remove and place the filter element. This makes it convenient to open the door panel 5 to remove and place the filter device 6, while avoiding the problem of the other door panel 5 opening automatically when the cover 42 is released from its restriction on the door panel 5.

[0088] The drinking water device provided in some embodiments of this utility model also includes a control module. The front shell assembly 2 is provided with an ice dispensing button 26 in the vertical direction corresponding to the ice outlet 212. The ice dispensing button 26 and the ice making module are respectively communicatively connected to the control module. The ice dispensing button 26 is set in the vertical direction corresponding to the ice outlet 212, which serves to guide the ice outlet 212 and also facilitates the user to control the ice dispensing.

[0089] The ice dispensing button 26 is adapted to send a control signal to the control module after being pressed. The control module then controls the ice-making module to dispense ice towards the ice outlet 212 based on the control signal. Specifically, a micro switch is provided on the rear side of the front shell assembly 2. The ice dispensing button 26 is electrically connected to the micro switch, and the micro switch is electrically connected to the control module. When the ice dispensing button 26 is pressed, it triggers the micro switch and sends a control signal to the control module.

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
