Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drinking water device technology, specifically to a drinking water device. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing electric kettles and other water-drinking devices only have a water-boiling function, which is limited in functionality, lacks expansion capabilities, has low cost-effectiveness, and fails to meet user needs. Although some water-drinking devices have added a liquid heating container to the main body to expand the tea-making function, the coupling parts of the existing liquid heating container and the main body are both located in the vertical direction of the product. The two are inserted vertically, which means that the coupling parts occupy the vertical height of the main body and the liquid heating container. Furthermore, the placement and removal of the liquid heating container require movement along the vertical direction of the main body, so the height of the main body needs to be further increased, resulting in the problem of the water-drinking device being too large. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to at least solve the problem in the prior art or related technologies that the coupling connection between the liquid heating container and the main body of the drinking water device results in a high main body height and an excessively large volume of the drinking water device.

[0004] Therefore, the first aspect of this utility model provides a drinking water device, including: a main body, on the side wall of the main body a first coupling member is provided; a liquid heating container, on the side wall of the liquid heating container a second coupling member is provided, the second coupling member being able to be inserted and engaged with the first coupling member in the horizontal direction so that the liquid heating container is electrically connected to the main body.

[0005] The drinking device proposed in this embodiment provides a first coupling member on the side wall of the main body and a second coupling member on the side wall of the liquid heating container. The insertion interfaces of both the first and second coupling members face to the side, allowing the second coupling member to be inserted and engaged with the first coupling member in the horizontal direction. This enables the electrical connection between the main body and the liquid heating container, allowing the drinking device to be pulled out horizontally. Compared to coupling the liquid heating container and the main body vertically, this reduces the height of the drinking device.

[0006] In some embodiments, the main body is provided with a first water outlet. When the second coupling member is plugged into the first coupling member, the liquid heating container is located below the first water outlet and can receive water from the first water outlet. In these embodiments, water is supplied to the liquid heating container through the first water outlet on the main body, which enables automatic water addition to the liquid heating container by the main body, eliminating the need for manual water addition by the user. This simplifies the operation of the water dispenser, improves its automation, and enhances the user experience.

[0007] In some embodiments, the liquid heating container includes a container body and a container lid. The container lid is provided with a water inlet. When the second coupling member is inserted and engaged with the first coupling member, the water inlet is located directly below the first water outlet. This arrangement allows water flowing from the first water outlet to flow directly downwards into the water inlet and then into the container body. Water can flow into the container body without opening the container lid, simplifying the operation and making it more convenient for the user.

[0008] In some embodiments, a sealing element is provided at the water inlet, which is used to close the water inlet and can be opened when subjected to water flow impact.

[0009] In these embodiments, a sealing element is provided at the water inlet to close the water inlet, thereby minimizing the entry of dust, debris, etc., into the container and ensuring the cleanliness of the container. Furthermore, the sealing element can separate from the water inlet when impacted by water flow. That is, when water flowing from the first outlet impacts the sealing element, it can open the sealing element, allowing water to flow further into the container, thus automatically opening the sealing element. Furthermore, after the water flow at the first outlet stops, the sealing element returns to the position of closing the water inlet because it is no longer impacted by water flow, thus achieving automatic sealing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the sealing element includes a baffle plate, which is closably disposed at the water inlet. The baffle plate can open the water inlet when impacted by water flow, and can return to its initial position after the water flow stops, thereby closing the water inlet. This configuration results in a simple baffle plate structure; it opens the water inlet when impacted and returns to its original position when the water flow stops, thus closing the water inlet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the baffle includes an elastic baffle, one end of which is connected to the edge of the inlet. The elastic baffle can deform downward under the impact of water flow to open the inlet. The elastic baffle itself is elastic, and therefore can deform downward when impacted by water flow to open the inlet. After the water flow stops, the elastic baffle can return to its original shape and return to the position of closing the inlet.

[0012] In some embodiments, the baffle includes a rigid baffle and a torsion spring. The torsion spring connects one end of the rigid baffle to the edge of the water inlet, and the rigid baffle can flip downwards under the impact of water flow to open the water inlet. When the rigid baffle is impacted by water flow, the torsion spring can be torsional and deformed, causing the rigid baffle to flip downwards and open the water inlet. After the water flow stops, the torsion spring rotates back to its original position, causing the rigid baffle to return to the position of closing the water inlet.

[0013] In some embodiments, the liquid heating container further includes a water guide pipe with openings at both the top and bottom, the openings of which form a water inlet, and the water guide pipe is funnel-shaped with a larger opening at the top and a smaller opening at the bottom.

[0014] In these embodiments, the water guide pipe is configured as a funnel shape with a large opening at the top and a small opening at the bottom. Since the upper opening of the water guide pipe is directly opposite the first water outlet, it can receive the water flow from the first water outlet. Therefore, the upper opening needs to match the water flow rate from the first water outlet. Setting the upper opening of the water guide pipe to be large can effectively prevent water from overflowing. Furthermore, the side wall of the funnel-shaped water guide pipe is inclined, which can play a guiding role, making it easier for the water flow to converge and guide the water flow to concentrate and impact the sealing component, thereby enhancing the impact force on the sealing component.

[0015] In some embodiments, the container lid is provided with an installation port into which a water pipe is inserted. The installation port facilitates the installation of the water pipe and allows the water pipe to extend into the container body.

[0016] In some embodiments, the sealing element is located at the lower end of the water conduit. This arrangement facilitates the downward flipping and opening of the sealing element.

[0017] In some embodiments, the water conduit includes a flared portion and a straight portion connected together, the straight portion passing through the mounting port and the flared portion being engaged in the mounting port. The drinking water device also includes a mating component that can be installed on the straight portion and is located below the container lid, and engages with the container lid to limit the vertical displacement of the water conduit.

[0018] In these embodiments, the upper end of the water guide pipe is a flared section, and the lower end is a straight cylindrical section, forming a funnel shape with a large opening at the upper end and a small opening at the lower end. Furthermore, the flared section is fitted into the mounting opening to limit the downward displacement of the water guide pipe relative to the container lid. The mating component, installed on the straight cylindrical section and located below the container lid, can abut against the container lid when the water guide pipe moves upward, thereby limiting the upward displacement of the water guide pipe relative to the container lid and thus fixing the water guide pipe to the container lid.

[0019] In some embodiments, a serving platform extending outward is provided at the bottom of the front sidewall of the main body, on which a liquid heating container can be placed; a first coupling member is provided on the front sidewall of the main body, above the serving platform, with the insertion interface of the first coupling member facing the serving platform.

[0020] In these embodiments, a holding platform is provided at the front of the main body for placing the liquid heating container; further, a first coupling member is provided on the front side wall of the main body, and the insertion interface of the first coupling member faces forward. Correspondingly, a second coupling member that cooperates with the first coupling member is located on the rear side wall of the liquid heating container, and the insertion interface of the second coupling member faces rearward. This allows the liquid heating container to be moved from front to back to achieve electrical connection between the liquid heating container and the main body, and the liquid heating container to be moved forward to achieve separation between the liquid heating container and the main body. Operating from the front of the main body conforms to the user's conventional operating habits, is unobstructed, and is also conducive to the user's operation. In addition, placing the liquid heating container at the front of the main body is also conducive to the operation of brewing tea.

[0021] In some embodiments, the drinking water device further includes: an inner tank disposed in the main body; a water supply pipe, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the inner tank and the first water outlet; and a water pumping device disposed on the water supply pipe, which is capable of transporting water from the inner tank to the first water outlet.

[0022] In these embodiments, the inner tank can store water, the water pipe connects the first water outlet and the inner tank, and the water pumping device can transport the water in the inner tank to the first water outlet, thereby supplying water to the liquid heating container. This allows water to be boiled quickly through the liquid heating container, as well as used for brewing tea, cooking white fungus porridge, etc., enriching the functions of the drinking water equipment.

[0034] Furthermore, in the description of the examples, detailed descriptions of well-known related structures or functions will be omitted when it is believed that such detailed descriptions would lead to a vague interpretation of the present invention.

[0035] The following will combine Figures 1 to 4 This application describes drinking water devices according to some embodiments.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a drinking water device, which includes a main body 10 and a liquid heating container 20. A first coupling member 110 with a plug-in interface facing to the side is provided on the side wall of the main body 10; a second coupling member 210 with a plug-in interface facing to the side is provided on the side wall of the liquid heating container 20. The first coupling member 110 can be plugged into and cooperate with the second coupling member 210 to make the main body 10 and the liquid heating container 20 electrically connected.

[0037] The drinking water device proposed in this embodiment provides a first coupling member 110 on the side wall of the main body 10 and a second coupling member 210 on the side wall of the liquid heating container 20. The insertion interfaces of both the first coupling member 110 and the second coupling member 210 face to the side, thereby enabling the second coupling member 210 to be inserted and engaged with the first coupling member 110 in the horizontal direction. This achieves an electrical connection between the main body 10 and the liquid heating container 20, allowing the drinking water device to be pulled out horizontally. Compared to the method of coupling the liquid heating container 20 to the main body 10 in the vertical direction, this reduces the height of the drinking water device.

[0038] It is worth noting that the liquid heating container 20 can be used for brewing tea, boiling water to make tea, cooking white fungus porridge, etc., enriching the functions of the drinking water equipment.

[0039] If the coupling of the liquid heating container 20 is located at the bottom and the coupling of the main body 10 is located on the upper surface of the holding platform 140, the coupling will occupy the vertical height of the main body 10 and the liquid heating container 20. Furthermore, the operations of placing the liquid heating container 20 on and removing it from the main body 10 require vertical movement along the main body 10. Therefore, the height of the main body 10 needs to be further increased to allow space for the placement and removal of the liquid heating container 20 relative to the main body 10, resulting in a larger volume of the drinking water equipment, which is not conducive to product miniaturization and weight reduction. In addition, with the coupling on the main body 10 facing upwards, liquid can easily enter the coupling, causing a short circuit.

[0040] The drinking water device provided in this application embodiment uses a first coupling member 110 and a second coupling member 210 respectively disposed on the side walls of the main body 10 and the liquid heating container 20, thereby reducing the height of the liquid heating container 20 and the main body 10. Furthermore, the liquid heating container 20 can be removed horizontally without increasing the height of the main body 10 to provide space for its placement and removal. Compared to related technologies where the liquid heating container 20 and the main body 10 are vertically coupled, this significantly reduces the height of the drinking water device. Moreover, because the opening of the coupling member faces to the side, liquid is less likely to enter the coupling member, reducing the risk of short circuits.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main body 10 is provided with a first water outlet 121. When the second coupling member 210 is plugged into the first coupling member 110, the liquid heating container 20 is located below the first water outlet 121 and can receive water from the first water outlet 121.

[0042] In these embodiments, water is supplied to the liquid heating container 20 through the first water outlet 121 on the main body 10, which enables the main body 10 to automatically add water to the liquid heating container 20 without the need for the user to manually add water, thus simplifying the operation of the drinking water equipment, improving the automation of the drinking water equipment, and enhancing the user experience.

[0043] It is understood that the liquid heating container 20 includes a container body 220 and a container lid 230. When the first water outlet 121 supplies water to the liquid heating container 20, water can be collected by opening the container lid 230 of the liquid heating container 20, or a water inlet 241 can be provided on the container lid 230 so that the water flowing out of the first water outlet 121 can be collected without opening the lid.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a serving platform 140 extending outward is provided at the bottom of the front side wall of the main body 10, and the liquid heating container 20 can be placed on the serving platform 140; the first coupling member 110 is provided on the front side wall of the main body 10, and the insertion interface of the first coupling member 110 faces forward and towards the serving platform 140.

[0045] In these embodiments, a holding platform 140 is provided in front of the main body 10 for placing the liquid heating container 20. Further, a first coupling member 110 is provided on the front side wall of the main body 10, and the insertion interface of the first coupling member 110 faces forward. Correspondingly, a second coupling member 210 that cooperates with the first coupling member 110 is located on the rear side wall of the liquid heating container 20, and the insertion interface of the second coupling member 210 faces rearward. This allows the liquid heating container 20 to be moved from front to back to achieve electrical connection between the liquid heating container 20 and the main body 10, and the liquid heating container 20 to be moved forward to achieve separation between the liquid heating container 20 and the main body 10. Operating from the front of the main body 10 conforms to the user's conventional operating habits, is unobstructed, and is also conducive to the user's operation. In addition, placing the liquid heating container 20 in front of the main body 10 is also conducive to the operation of brewing tea.

[0046] Of course, the holding platform 140 and the first coupling member 110 can also be set on the left side wall of the main body 10, with the insertion interface of the first coupling member 110 facing to the left; or the holding platform 140 and the first coupling member 110 can be set on the right side wall of the main body 10, with the insertion interface of the first coupling member 110 facing to the right.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the drinking water equipment also includes: an inner tank 30, which is installed in the main body 10; a water pipe 40, the two ends of which are connected to the inner tank 30 and the first water outlet 121 respectively; and a water pumping device 50, which is installed on the water pipe 40 and can pump water from the inner tank 30 to the first water outlet 121.

[0048] In these embodiments, the inner tank 30 can store water, the water pipe 40 connects the first water outlet 121 and the inner tank 30, and the water pumping device 50 can transport the water in the inner tank 30 to the first water outlet 121, thereby supplying water to the liquid heating container 20. This allows water to be boiled quickly through the liquid heating container 20, as well as used for making tea, cooking white fungus porridge, etc., thus enriching the functions of the drinking water equipment.

[0049] Understandably, the drinking water equipment may also include a heating device to heat the inner tank 30.

[0050] Furthermore, the drinking water device also includes a second water outlet 122, which is connected to the inner tank 30 and can directly dispense water from the inner tank 30, giving the drinking water device two water outlet channels.

[0051] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the two water outlet channels can share a set of pumping device and water supply pipeline. An electromagnetic three-way valve is connected to one end of the water supply pipeline near the second water outlet 122. The inlet of the electromagnetic three-way valve is connected to the water supply pipeline. The first outlet of the electromagnetic three-way valve is connected to the first water outlet 121. The second outlet of the electromagnetic three-way valve is connected to the second water outlet 122.

[0052] Furthermore, in another specific embodiment, a second pumping device and a second water supply pipe can be added and connected to the second water outlet 122, so that the two water outlet channels each use a set of pumping devices and water supply pipes.

[0053] Furthermore, to facilitate water collection, a protruding boss 120 is formed on the top of the front side of the main body 10. The first water outlet 121 and the second water outlet 122 are both set in the boss 120, so that there is space between the first water outlet 121 and the second water outlet 122 and the front side wall of the main body 10, which facilitates the placement of liquid heating container 20 and water cups and other water containers.

[0054] Regarding the scheme of providing a water inlet 241 on the container cover 230, as an example, optionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the container lid 230 is provided with a water inlet 241. When the second coupling member 210 is inserted and engaged with the first coupling member 110, the water inlet 241 is located directly below the first water outlet 121. This arrangement allows the water flowing out of the first water outlet 121 to flow directly downwards into the water inlet 241, and then enter the container body 220 through the water inlet 241. Water can flow into the container body 220 without opening the container lid 230, simplifying the operation and making it more convenient for the user.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sealing element 242 is provided at the water inlet 241. The sealing element 242 can close the water inlet 241 and can open the water inlet 241 when subjected to water flow impact.

[0056] In these embodiments, a sealing element 242 is provided at the water inlet 241 to close the water inlet 241, thereby preventing dust, debris, etc. from entering the container body 220 from the water inlet 241 as much as possible, ensuring the cleanliness of the container body 220; furthermore, the sealing element 242 can separate from the water inlet 241 when impacted by water flow, that is, when the water flowing out of the first water outlet 121 impacts the sealing element 242, it can be forced open, allowing the water flow to further flow into the container body 220, thus automatically opening the sealing element 242; furthermore, after the water flow at the first water outlet 121 stops, since the sealing element 242 is no longer impacted by water flow, it returns to the position of closing the water inlet 241, thus achieving automatic sealing.

[0057] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sealing component 242 includes a baffle plate, which is closable at the water inlet 241. The baffle plate opens the water inlet 241 when impacted by water flow, and returns to its initial position after the water flow stops, thus closing the water inlet 241. This design simplifies the structure of the baffle plate; it opens the water inlet 241 when impacted and returns to its original position when the water flow stops, thereby closing the water inlet 241.

[0058] Furthermore, the baffle can be elastic, thus being able to reset under the action of elastic force; or, the baffle can be connected to the container lid 230 through a connecting member with torsional force, thus being able to open when impacted by water flow and reset after the water flow stops.

[0059] Furthermore, as an example, optionally, in some embodiments, the baffle can be an elastic baffle, such as a silicone baffle. One end of the silicone baffle is bonded to the container cap 230 on the outer periphery of the water inlet 241, or connected by a screw, snap, or other connecting structure. The silicone baffle itself is elastic, and therefore can deform downwards when impacted by water flow, opening the water inlet 241. After the water flow stops, the silicone baffle can return to its original shape, returning to the position of closing the water inlet 241. In addition, silicone also has the advantages of being non-toxic and harmless, heat-resistant, elastic, and having a long service life.

[0060] Further, as an example, optionally, in some other embodiments, the baffle can be a rigid baffle made of a hard material such as metal or plastic. One end of the rigid baffle is connected to the container cap 230 on the outer periphery of the water inlet 241 by a flip-connector, such as a torsion spring. When the rigid baffle is impacted by water flow, the torsion spring can be twisted and deformed, thereby causing the rigid baffle to flip downward and open the water inlet 241. After the water flow stops, the torsion spring rotates back to its original position, so that the rigid baffle returns to the position of closing the water inlet 241.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the container lid 230 is provided with an installation port and a water guide pipe 240 with openings at both the top and bottom. The water guide pipe 240 is inserted into the installation port, and the opening of the water guide pipe 240 forms a water inlet 241. The water guide pipe 240 is funnel-shaped with a large opening at the top and a small opening at the bottom.

[0062] In these embodiments, the water guide pipe 240 is configured as a funnel shape with a large opening at the top and a small opening at the bottom. Since the upper opening of the water guide pipe 240 is directly opposite the first water outlet 121, it can receive the water flow from the first water outlet 121. Therefore, the upper opening needs to match the water flow rate from the first water outlet 121. Setting the upper opening of the water guide pipe 240 to be large can effectively prevent water overflow. Furthermore, the sidewall of the funnel-shaped water guide pipe 240 is inclined, which can play a guiding role, making it easier for the water flow to converge and guide the water flow to concentrate and impact the sealing member 242, thereby enhancing the impact force on the sealing member 242. The setting of the installation port facilitates the installation of the water guide pipe and allows the water guide pipe to extend into the container body.

[0063] In some embodiments, the sealing element 242 is disposed at the lower end of the water guide pipe 240. This arrangement facilitates the downward flipping and opening of the sealing element 242.

[0064] Furthermore, as an example, optionally, one end of the baffle is bonded to the bottom surface of the water guide pipe 240, or connected to the bottom surface of the water guide pipe 240 by means of a connecting structure such as screws, clips, or torsion springs.

[0065] Regarding the specific structure of the water conduit 240, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the water pipe 240 includes a flared portion 243 and a straight portion 244 connected to each other. The straight portion 244 passes through the mounting port and the flared portion 243 is engaged in the mounting port. The outer peripheral wall of the straight portion 244 is provided with external threads. The drinking water equipment also includes a mating part 250. The mating part 250 is provided with a threaded hole that can cooperate with the external threads of the straight portion 244. The mating part 250 can be sleeved on the straight portion 244 and threadedly connected to the straight portion 244. The mating part 250 is located below the container cover 230 and cooperates with the container cover 230 to restrict the vertical displacement of the water pipe 240.

[0066] In these embodiments, the upper end of the water guide pipe 240 is a flared portion 243, and the lower end is a straight cylindrical portion 244, forming a funnel shape with a large opening at the upper end and a small opening at the lower end. Further, the flared portion 243 is fitted into the mounting opening to limit the downward displacement of the water guide pipe 240 relative to the container cover 230. The mating part 250 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the straight cylindrical portion 244 through a threaded hole and threadedly connected to the external thread on the straight cylindrical portion 244. The mating part 250 is located below the container cover 230. When the water guide pipe 240 moves upward, the mating part 250 can abut against the container cover 230, thereby limiting the upward displacement of the water guide pipe 240 relative to the container cover 230, thus fixing the water guide pipe 240 to the container cover 230. In addition, the threaded connection facilitates disassembly, allowing the water guide pipe 240 to be removed for cleaning or replacement.

[0067] In another embodiment of this application, the mounting hole on the container cover 230 can be set as a threaded hole, and the external thread on the straight cylindrical part 244 can be threadedly engaged with the threaded hole, thereby realizing the connection between the container cover 230 and the water guide pipe 240, and realizing the installation of the water guide pipe 240 on the container cover 230.
