Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water dispensers, and more particularly to an auxiliary water supply device for a water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, commercial water dispensers generally use bottled water, typically large-capacity bottles. Traditionally, filling these bottles requires manual labor to carry them to the top of the dispenser and install them upside down. This is labor-intensive, difficult for the elderly, women, and other people with weaker physical strength, and carries the risk of spillage, leading to water waste or injury. While the automation level of water dispensers has gradually increased with the development of intelligent technology, the bottled water replacement process still relies on manual operation, which remains inconvenient.

[0003] In existing technologies, bottled water replacement mainly involves manually moving and installing the bottles. This method is simple and direct, but it requires a high level of physical strength from the user. Alternatively, a simple trolley can be used to assist in moving the bottles, but the docking precision between the trolley and the water dispenser is insufficient, and the operating space is small, making it inconvenient to manually break the bottle opening. These shortcomings mean that existing devices cannot meet user needs in terms of reliability and convenience. Utility Model Content

[0004] To reduce manual intervention during bottled water replacement and decrease user physical exertion, this application provides an auxiliary water supply device for a water dispenser.

[0005] This application provides an auxiliary water supply device for a water dispenser, which adopts the following technical solution: A water dispenser auxiliary water supply device includes bottled water, a water dispenser body, a bottle breaking mechanism, and a water delivery mechanism. The bottled water is installed on the water delivery mechanism. The water dispenser body has a first chamber, and the water delivery mechanism is slidably installed in the first chamber. The bottle breaking mechanism is installed inside the water dispenser body, and one end extends into the first chamber. The bottle breaking mechanism is also located above the water delivery mechanism.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, bottled water is installed on the water delivery mechanism and slids in the first chamber of the water dispenser body. The bottle breaking mechanism is installed inside the water dispenser body and above the water delivery mechanism, and can automatically break the bottle. This can reduce manual intervention when changing bottled water, reduce the user's physical exertion, and avoid problems such as high labor intensity, easy waste of drinking water or personal injury caused by manually carrying and inverting bottled water.

[0007] Preferably, the first chamber is provided with a guide member, and the water delivery mechanism is slidably connected to the guide member.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the water delivery mechanism can slide along the guide member in the first chamber, realizing the directional movement of the water delivery mechanism in the main body of the water dispenser, which facilitates the accurate delivery of bottled water to the bottom of the bottle breaking mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the water delivery mechanism includes a water delivery support, a rolling element, and a steering element. The bottled water is mounted on the water delivery support. The rolling element is mounted on the water delivery support and is slidably connected to the guide element. At least two sets of rolling elements are provided and are spaced apart on the water delivery support. The guide element has a positioning part, and the rolling element is engaged with the positioning part. At least two sets of guide elements are provided. The steering element is rotatably mounted on the water delivery support.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the water delivery support is used to support and carry bottled water; the sliding connection between the rolling element and the guide allows the water delivery mechanism to slide on the guide, and at least two sets of spaced rolling elements can ensure the stability of the water delivery mechanism's sliding; the positioning part of the guide allows the rolling element to engage, positioning the bottled water directly below the bottle breaking mechanism, ensuring that the bottle breaking mechanism can accurately insert into the bottled water; the steering element is rotatably installed on the water delivery support, giving the water delivery mechanism a steering function, facilitating the handling and adjustment of the bottled water's position, reducing manual intervention, and lowering the user's physical exertion.

[0011] Preferably, the water delivery support has a resistance section, which is disposed on the end face of the water delivery support that supports the bottled water, and the resistance section is elastic.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, the bottled water, the main body of the water dispenser, the bottle breaking mechanism, and the water delivery mechanism can be coordinated, reducing manual intervention during bottled water replacement and lowering the user's physical exertion. The sliding connection between the guide and the water delivery mechanism allows the water delivery mechanism to slide within the first chamber. The setting of the water delivery support, rolling parts, and steering parts, the sliding connection between the rolling parts and the guide parts, and the locking of the rolling parts into the positioning part enable the movement of the water delivery mechanism and the positioning of the bottled water. The setting of the resistance part on the water delivery support, which is arranged on the end face supporting the bottled water and has elasticity, can effectively limit the sliding of the bottled water on the water delivery support and reduce the risk of the bottled water detaching from the water delivery support during movement.

[0013] Preferably, the water delivery support has a tension part, one end of which is fixedly connected to the body of the water delivery support.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the water delivery mechanism is slidably installed in the first chamber of the water dispenser body. The first chamber is provided with a guide, and the water delivery mechanism is slidably connected to the guide. The water delivery mechanism includes a water delivery support, a rolling element, and a steering element. The rolling element is slidably connected to the guide and is engaged with the positioning part of the guide. The steering element is rotatably installed on the water delivery support. The water delivery support is provided with a tension part, which can greatly facilitate the pulling of the cart, thereby improving the efficiency of bottled water transportation or handling.

[0015] Preferably, the barrel-breaking mechanism includes a breaking component, a transmission component, and a driving component. The breaking component is slidably installed inside the water dispenser body, with one end extending into the first chamber. The transmission component is fixedly installed on the breaking component. The driving component is fixedly installed inside the water dispenser body and located within the first chamber. The transmission component and the driving component are connected in a transmission manner.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving component drives the transmission component to slide the breaking component, which can automatically break open the water bottle opening. This solves the problems of insufficient docking accuracy between the existing trolley and water dispenser, small operating space, and inconvenience for manual breaking of the bottle opening, thus improving the reliability and convenience of user use.

[0017] Preferably, the rupture component has a guide portion, the bottled water has a water outlet, and the guide portion is fitted onto the water outlet of the bottled water.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide part is fitted onto the water inlet of the bottled water, which allows the breaking part to be precisely aligned with the water inlet of the bottled water, making it easier for the breaking part to break open the water inlet of the bottled water, improving the accuracy and reliability of the breaking, and enhancing the convenience of using the device.

[0019] Preferably, a protective component is provided in the first chamber, and the protective component is fixedly connected to the main body of the water dispenser; the protective component covers the ruptured component; the protective component also has an inlet, and the water outlet of the bottled water is located in the inlet.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective component covering the broken part can prevent users from accidentally touching the broken part and causing personal injury when cleaning and wiping the water dispenser. The guide part of the protective component works in conjunction with the bottled water outlet to achieve a dual guiding function.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The water delivery mechanism is slidably installed in the first chamber, which facilitates the installation and replacement of bottled water, reduces manual intervention, and reduces the physical exertion of users; 2. The bottle-breaking mechanism can automatically break open the water bottle opening, solving the problems of insufficient docking precision between the existing trolley and water dispenser, small operating space, and inconvenience for manual bottle breaking, thus improving the reliability and convenience for users. 3. The resistance part of the water delivery support can limit the sliding of the bottled water, reducing the risk of the bottled water falling off during movement, while the tension part makes it easy to pull the trolley, improving the efficiency of bottled water transportation.

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

[0025] This application discloses an auxiliary water supply device for a water dispenser, see [link]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water dispenser includes a bottled water container 1, a main body 2, a bottle breaking mechanism 3, and a water delivery mechanism 4. The bottled water container 1 is installed on the water delivery mechanism 4. The main body 2 has a first chamber 21, and the water delivery mechanism 4 is slidably installed in the first chamber 21. The bottle breaking mechanism 3 is installed in the main body 2, and one end extends into the first chamber 21. The bottle breaking mechanism 3 is also located above the water delivery mechanism 4.

[0026] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first chamber 21 is equipped with a guide member 5, and the water delivery mechanism 4 is slidably connected to the guide member 5. The water delivery mechanism 4 includes a water delivery support member 41, a rolling member 42, and a steering member 43. The bottled water 1 is installed on the water delivery support member 41; the rolling member 42 is installed on the water delivery support member 41 and is slidably connected to the guide member 5; at least two sets of the rolling member 42 are provided and are arranged at intervals on the water delivery support member 41; the guide member 5 has a positioning part 51, the rolling member 42 is engaged in the positioning part 51, and at least two sets of the guide member 5 are provided; the steering member 43 is rotatably installed on the water delivery support member 41.

[0027] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The water delivery support 41 includes a trolley shell for supporting and carrying bottled water 1. The rolling element 42 consists of a roller bracket and rollers, with the rollers rotatably mounted on the roller bracket, which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the trolley shell. The steering element 43 includes a steering wheel, one end of which is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the trolley shell via a steering wheel bracket, and is rotatably mounted on the steering wheel bracket. Furthermore, the steering wheel is located at the middle of the trolley shell's length, a design that enables the trolley to steer.

[0028] The guide component 5 includes a guide rail, which is fixedly installed inside the water dispenser body 2 and located on the inner bottom wall of the first chamber 21. The positioning part 51 includes a positioning groove, which is formed on the guide rail body and is used to position the bottled water 1 so that it is directly below the bottle breaking mechanism 3, ensuring that the bottle breaking mechanism 3 can be accurately inserted into the bottled water 1.

[0029] In one embodiment, two sets of rolling elements 42 are respectively installed at each end of the trolley shell along its length. Two sets of guide elements 5 are provided, with each set of guide elements 5 arranged in the first chamber 21 along the width direction of the water dispenser body 2.

[0030] Specifically, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The water delivery support 41 is provided with a resistance part 410, which is arranged on the end face of the water delivery support 41 that supports the bottled water 1 and has elastic properties. In addition, the water delivery support 41 is also equipped with a tension part 411, one end of which is firmly connected to the body of the water delivery support 41.

[0031] In one embodiment, the resistance part 410 is made of resistance rubber, which is embedded in the upper surface of the trolley shell, with one end in contact with the surface of the bottled water 1. This effectively restricts the sliding of the bottled water 1 on the trolley shell, reducing the risk of the bottled water 1 detaching from the trolley shell during movement. The pulling part 411 includes a pull rod, which is vertically installed on the upper surface of the trolley shell, with one end inserted into the trolley shell and fixedly connected to it. This pull rod design greatly facilitates the pulling of the trolley, thereby improving the efficiency of transporting or handling the bottled water 1.

[0032] Specifically, see Figures 2 to 4 The bottle-breaking mechanism 3 includes a breaking component 31, a transmission component 32, and a driving component 33. The breaking component 31 is slidably installed inside the water dispenser body 2, with one end extending into the first chamber 21; the transmission component 32 is fixedly installed on the breaking component 31; the driving component 33 is fixedly installed inside the water dispenser body 2 and located inside the first chamber 21, with the transmission component 32 and the driving component 33 being connected in a transmission manner. In addition, the breaking component 31 is provided with a guide part 310, and the guide part 310 is fitted onto the water inlet of the bottled water 1.

[0033] In one embodiment, the breaking component 31 includes a breaking tip tube 311 and a breaking tube shell 312. The breaking tube shell 312 is slidably installed inside the water dispenser body 2, and the breaking tip tube 311 is fixedly installed inside the breaking tube shell 312, with both ends exposed outside the breaking tube shell 312. The breaking tip tube 311 has a sharp bevel facing the bottled water 1, used to break the originally sealed water inlet of the bottled water 1. The guide part 310 includes a sleeve protruding from the breaking tube shell 312, which is fitted onto the water inlet of the bottled water 1 to seal the water inlet of the bottled water 1, preventing dust and insects from entering the interior of the bottled water 1 through the water inlet and contaminating the drinking water. The driving component 33 is composed of a breaking motor, which is fixedly installed inside the water dispenser body 2 and located in the first chamber 21. The transmission component 32 includes a rack and a gear. The rack is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the breaking tube shell 312, and the gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the breaking motor and meshes with the rack.

[0034] In operation, the breaking motor drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the rack to move up and down relative to the main body 2 of the water dispenser. The rack then drives the breaking tube shell 312 to move up and down, and the breaking tip tube 311 installed on the breaking tube shell 312 descends synchronously, thereby breaking the water inlet of the bottled water 1. This design effectively solves the problems of insufficient docking precision between the existing trolley and the water dispenser, small operating space, and inconvenience for manually breaking the bottle opening, thus improving the reliability and convenience for users.

[0035] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first chamber 21 is provided with a protective component 6, which is fixedly connected to the main body 2 of the water dispenser; the protective component 6 covers the rupture component 31; in addition, the protective component 6 also has an inlet 61, and the water outlet of the bottled water 1 is located in the inlet 61.

[0036] In one embodiment, the protective component 6 is a protective cover, which is fixedly connected to the water dispenser body 2 and located within the first chamber 21. The inlet portion 61 includes a guide groove formed on the protective cover, which cooperates with a guide rail to achieve a dual guiding function. The protective cover also covers one end of the ruptured component 31 to prevent users from accidentally touching the sharp bevel of the ruptured tip 311 during the cleaning and wiping of the water dispenser, thereby avoiding the problem of personal injury.

[0037] The working principle of the auxiliary water supply device for a water dispenser according to this application is as follows: When the device is working, the bottled water 1 is first moved onto the water delivery support 41 (trolley shell) of the water delivery mechanism 4. The resistance rubber (resistance part 410) on the water delivery support 41 contacts the surface of the bottled water 1, restricting the sliding of the bottled water 1 to prevent it from falling off during movement. The trolley is pulled by the pulling part 411 (pull rod). The rolling part 42 (composed of roller bracket and roller, two sets arranged at intervals at the end of the trolley shell) at the bottom of the water delivery support 41 slides along the guide part 5 (two sets of guide rails) on the bottom wall of the first chamber 21. The steering part 43 (steering wheel, located in the middle of the length direction of the trolley shell) assists the trolley in steering. When the rolling part 42 is engaged in the positioning groove (positioning part 51) of the guide rail, the bottled water 1 is accurately positioned directly below the bottle breaking mechanism 3.

[0038] Subsequently, the barrel-breaking mechanism 3 is activated: the drive component 33 (breaking motor) drives the gear on the output main shaft to rotate. The gear meshes with the rack (transmission component 32) fixed to the breaking component 31 (breaking tube shell 312 and internal breaking tip tube 311), driving the rack to move the breaking tube shell 312 and breaking tip tube 311 up and down. The sharp bevel of the breaking tip tube 311 faces the bottled water 1. When it descends, it breaks the water inlet of the bottled water 1. The guide part 310 of the breaking component 31 covers the water inlet of the bottled water 1 to assist in positioning and sealing the water inlet of the bottled water 1, completing the automatic barrel breaking. At the same time, the protective component 6 (protective cover) in the first chamber 21 covers the breaking component 31. Its guide groove cooperates with the guide rail to achieve double guidance, preventing the user from touching the sharp bevel of the breaking tip tube 311 when cleaning.

[0039] This technical solution achieves multiple functions: firstly, stable support and convenient movement of the bottled water 1, with the resistance part 410 fixing the bottled water 1, steering wheels assisting in steering, and a pull rod facilitating pushing and pulling, improving the handling flexibility of the bottled water 1; secondly, precise docking of the bottled water 1 with the bottle-breaking mechanism 3, using the guide rail and rolling parts 42 in cooperation, and the positioning groove engaging to ensure that the bottled water 1 is always directly below the bottle-breaking mechanism 3; and thirdly, automatic bottle breaking and safety protection, with motor drive replacing manual bottle breaking, and a protective cover covering the breaking part 31 to prevent personnel injury. Its advantages are: the resistance rubber prevents the bottled water 1 from slipping, the steering wheels reduce the difficulty of movement, the positioning groove solves the docking accuracy problem, the motor drive reduces manual labor, and the protective cover improves safety. This technical solution effectively solves the problems of insufficient docking accuracy between the trolley and the water dispenser, small operating space, inconvenience for manual bottle breaking, and easy injury to users from touching the breaking tip 311 during cleaning in existing technologies, ultimately improving the reliability and convenience of the device.
