Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliances, and more particularly to a drinking water device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing water dispensers are relatively simple in function, providing hot water only by boiling water inside the equipment before serving it to users. If users want to brew tea, they have to get water from the dispenser and then use other equipment to brew the tea, which is not very convenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a drinking water device that solves the problem that existing drinking water devices have limited functionality and lack the ability to brew tea.

[0004] This application provides a drinking water device, comprising: a main body with a first coupler; a water tank installed inside the main body; and a liquid heating container with a second coupler at its bottom, the second coupler being plugged into the first coupler to achieve electrical connection; wherein, a water supply pipe is provided at the center of the first coupler, the water supply pipe being connected to the water tank; and a water inlet pipe is provided at the center of the second coupler, the water inlet pipe being connected to the inner cavity of the liquid heating container; the water supply pipe and the water inlet pipe are used to form a connection when the first coupler and the second coupler are plugged into each other.

[0005] In the above scheme, the second coupler and the first coupler are electrically connected through a plug-in connection, enabling the main body to supply power to the liquid heating container and realize the liquid heating function of the container. Users can use the liquid heating container to boil water, brew tea, or decoct medicine, improving the functionality and practicality of the drinking water equipment. The water supply pipe and the water inlet pipe are used to form a connection when the first coupler and the second coupler are plugged in, allowing water in the water tank to flow directly from the bottom of the liquid heating container into the inner cavity, realizing automatic water filling and making it more convenient for users in daily life.

[0006] In one possible design, the main body includes a body and a storage tray, the storage tray is mounted on the outer wall of the body, the first coupler is disposed on the storage tray, the outer wall of the body is provided with a recess to form a clearance space, and when the first coupler and the second coupler are plugged in, at least a portion of the liquid heating container is located within the clearance space.

[0007] The above solution can prevent interference between the outer wall of the device and the liquid heating container while reducing the size of the water dispenser, ensuring that the liquid heating container will not collide with the outer wall of the device during handling, thus improving the user experience.

[0008] In one possible design, when the spout of the liquid heating container is located within the clearance space, there is a gap L1 between the spout and the recess, where L1 ≥ 5 mm.

[0009] In the above scheme, when the first coupler and the second coupler are plugged in, no matter what angle the liquid heating container is placed at, there is at least a safe distance of 5mm between the spout and the recess. This ensures that the spout will not collide with the outer wall of the body when the user picks up and places the liquid heating container, thereby reducing the risk of the spout being damaged by external force and improving the service life of the liquid heating container.

[0010] In one possible design, the main body includes a casing and an operating unit, the operating unit being mounted on the outer wall of the casing; when the first coupler and the second coupler are plugged into each other, the distance between the operating unit and the liquid heating container along the height direction of the main body is H1; the height of the first coupler along the height direction of the main body is H2, where H1 > H2.

[0011] In the above scheme, H1 > H2, which ensures that the liquid heating container will not interfere with the operating part in the height direction of the main body when the user picks up and places the liquid heating container, making it more convenient for the user and improving the user experience.

[0012] In one possible design, H1 is 1.5 to 2 times the size of H2.

[0013] The above solution not only makes it easier for users to pick up and place the liquid heating container, reducing the risk of collision between the liquid heating container and the operating unit, but also reduces the overall height of the drinking water equipment, which helps to reduce the size of the drinking water equipment and realize the miniaturization of the drinking water equipment.

[0014] In one possible design, the main body is also provided with a water outlet, which is connected to the water tank, and the first coupler and the water outlet are offset in the height direction of the main body.

[0015] In the above scheme, the first coupler and the water outlet are offset in the height direction of the main body, so that when the liquid heating container uses the first coupler to heat water, it will not affect the user from getting water from the water outlet.

[0016] In one possible design, the inlet pipe is provided with a water inlet, and the supply pipe is connected to the inlet pipe through the water inlet; a water valve assembly is installed inside the inlet pipe, and when the first coupler and the second coupler are plugged in, the water valve assembly is used to open the water inlet when the water pressure in the supply pipe is greater than a preset value, and also to close the water inlet when the water pressure in the supply pipe is less than the preset value.

[0017] In the above solution, the water valve assembly can ensure that the water inlet is only open when the water supply pipe is supplying water to the inlet pipe and the water pressure is sufficient. When the user picks up the liquid heating container and the water supply pipe cannot supply water, the water valve assembly can close the water inlet, thereby preventing the water in the inner cavity from flowing out and improving the user experience.

[0018] In one possible design, the water valve assembly includes a valve core, a return spring, and a spring seat; the two ends of the return spring abut against the inner wall of the water inlet pipe and the spring seat, respectively; the spring seat abuts against the valve core, and the spring seat is used to push the valve core to close the water inlet under the action of the return spring.

[0019] In the above scheme, when the water pressure in the water supply pipe is greater than the preset value, the valve core can move upward under the action of the water flow, thereby pushing the spring seat upward to compress the return spring. At this time, the water inlet is in the open state. When the water pressure in the water supply pipe is less than the preset value, the spring seat can push the valve core downward to return to its original position under the restoring force of the return spring, thereby closing the water inlet. That is, by setting the water valve assembly with the above structure, the automatic opening and closing of the water inlet can be realized, improving the practicality of the liquid heating container 3.

[0020] In one possible design, the inlet pipe is also fitted with a sealing sleeve, and the water inlet is located inside the sealing sleeve; when the first coupler and the second coupler are plugged in, at least a portion of the water supply pipe extends into the sealing sleeve.

[0021] In the above solution, the sealing sleeve has a hollow structure to form a water inlet. When the first coupler and the second coupler are plugged in, at least a portion of the water supply pipe extends into the sealing sleeve. At this time, the sealing sleeve can wrap around the outlet end of the water supply pipe, thereby reducing the risk of leakage at the connection between the water supply pipe and the inlet pipe and improving the user experience.

[0022] In one possible design, the liquid heating container includes a container body, a container lid, and a filter basket assembly, wherein the container lid is fastened to the container body; and the filter basket assembly is located inside the container body and connected to the container lid.

[0023] In the above solution, the filter basket assembly is located inside the cavity and can be used to hold solids such as tea leaves, medicinal herbs, and food ingredients, making it convenient for users to achieve solid-liquid separation when brewing tea or medicine, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0062] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0063] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0064] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0065] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0066] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0067] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" described in the embodiments of this application are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.

[0068] This application provides a drinking water device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drinking water equipment includes a main body 1, a water tank 2, and a liquid heating container 3. The main body 1 includes a casing 14, a tray 15, and an operating section 16, both of which are mounted on the outer wall of the casing 14. The water tank 2 is installed inside the casing 14 and has water storage and heating functions. The operating section 16 is provided with a water outlet 11, which is connected to the water tank 2. The heated water in the water tank 2 can flow to the outside through the water outlet 11 for users to drink. The surface of the operating section 16 can be provided with an operating panel or operating buttons to facilitate users to control the water tank 2 to perform the heating function and control the water outlet 11 to supply water to the outside. The tray 15 is provided with a water receiving trough 151, and a filter plate 152 is detachably installed on the top of the water receiving trough 151. The water receiving trough 151 and the water outlet 11 are aligned along the height direction Z of the main body 1. When filling a water container, the user can place the cup on the filter plate 152. The water collection tray 151 can be used to collect water that overflows from the cup or leaks from the water outlet 11. The filter plate 152 acts as a filter, preventing food residue or external debris from overflowing from the cup from entering the water collection tray 151. In addition, the filter plate 152 also serves as a positioning indicator, ensuring that the cup is aligned with the water outlet 11 when the user places it in the center of the filter plate 152, reducing the risk of hot water splashing and scalding the user when filling the container.

[0069] The liquid heating container 3 is detachably connected to the main body 1, and combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a first coupler 12 is provided on the tray 15, and a second coupler 31 is provided at the bottom of the liquid heating container 3. The second coupler 31 and the first coupler 12 are electrically connected through a plug-in connection, enabling the main body 1 to supply power to the liquid heating container 3 and realize the liquid heating function of the liquid heating container 3. Users can use the liquid heating container 3 to boil water, brew tea, or decoct medicine, improving the functionality and practicality of the drinking water equipment. In addition, when the second coupler 31 and the first coupler 12 are plugged in, the first coupler 12 can limit the liquid heating container 3 radially, preventing the liquid heating container 3 from moving horizontally and reducing the risk of the liquid heating container 3 tipping over.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first coupler 12 and the water outlet 11 are offset in the height direction Z of the main body 1, so that when the liquid heating container uses the first coupler 12 to heat water, it will not affect the user from receiving water from the water outlet 11.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a water supply pipe 13 is located at the center of the first coupler 12, and the water supply pipe 13 is connected to the water tank 2. A water inlet pipe 32 is located at the center of the second coupler 31, and the water inlet pipe 32 is connected to the inner cavity 33 of the liquid heating container 3. The water supply pipe 13 and the water inlet pipe 32 are used to form a connection when the first coupler 12 and the second coupler 31 are plugged in, so that the water in the water tank 2 can flow directly from the bottom of the liquid heating container 3 into the inner cavity 33, realizing automatic water filling. Users do not need to fill water from the outlet 11, which is more convenient for daily use.

[0072] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the body 14, corresponding to the first coupler 12, has a recess 141 to form a clearance space 142. When the first coupler 12 and the second coupler 31 are inserted and engaged, at least a portion of the liquid heating container 3 is located within the clearance space 142. This prevents interference between the outer wall of the body 14 and the liquid heating container while reducing the size of the water dispenser, ensuring that the liquid heating container will not collide with the outer wall of the body 14 during handling, thus improving the user experience. Especially when the liquid heating container is made of glass, it reduces the risk of damage caused by collision between the glass and the body 14.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the liquid heating container 3 has a spout 301a, which protrudes outward relative to the container body 301. When the first coupler 12 and the second coupler 31 are engaged and the spout 301a is located within the clearance space 142, the gap L1 between the spout 301a and the recess 141 satisfies L1≥5mm. That is, when the first coupler 12 and the second coupler 31 are engaged, regardless of the angle at which the liquid heating container 3 is placed, there is at least a 5mm safety distance between the spout 301a and the recess 141. This ensures that the spout 301a will not collide with the outer wall of the body 14 during the user's picking up and placing of the liquid heating container 3, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the spout 301a due to external impact and improving the service life of the liquid heating container.

[0074] Preferably, the gap L1 can be 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 8.5mm, 9mm, 9.5mm or 10mm, or other values ​​within the above range, that is, the gap L1 can also be a value greater than 10mm.

[0075] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, when the first coupler 12 and the second coupler 31 are plugged in, the distance between the operating part 16 and the liquid heating container 3 along the height direction Z of the main body 1 is H1. Figure 8 As shown, the height of the first coupler 12 along the height direction Z of the main body 1 is H2. H1 and H2 should satisfy: H1 > H2. This ensures that the liquid heating container 3 will not interfere with the operating part 16 in the height direction Z of the main body 1 when the user picks up and places the liquid heating container 3, making it more convenient for the user and improving the user experience.

[0076] Specifically, H1 is 1.5 to 2 times larger than H2. This not only makes it easier for users to pick up and place the liquid heating container 3 and reduces the risk of collision between the liquid heating container 3 and the operating part 16, but also reduces the overall height of the drinking water equipment, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the drinking water equipment and realizing the miniaturization of the drinking water equipment.

[0077] Preferably, H1 can be 1.5 times, 1.55 times, 1.6 times, 1.65 times, 1.7 times, 1.75 times, 1.8 times, 1.85 times, 1.9 times, 1.95 times, or 2 times H2, or other multiples within the above range. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0078] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water inlet pipe 32 is provided with a water inlet 321, and the water supply pipe 13 is connected to the water inlet pipe 32 through the water inlet 321. A water valve assembly 35 is installed inside the water inlet pipe 32. When the first coupler 12 and the second coupler 31 are plugged in, the water valve assembly 35 is used to open the water inlet 321 when the water pressure in the water supply pipe 13 is greater than a preset value, and also to close the water inlet 321 when the water pressure in the water supply pipe 13 is less than the preset value. The water valve assembly 35 can ensure that the water inlet 321 is only open when the water supply pipe 13 supplies water to the water inlet pipe 32 and the water pressure is sufficient. When the user picks up the liquid heating container 3 and the water supply pipe 13 cannot supply water, the water valve assembly 35 can close the water inlet 321, thereby preventing water in the inner cavity 33 from flowing out, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the water valve assembly 35 includes a valve core 351, a return spring 352, and a spring seat 353. The two ends of the return spring 352 abut against the inner wall of the water inlet pipe 32 and the spring seat 353, respectively, while the spring seat 353 abuts against the valve core 351. When the water pressure in the water supply pipe 13 exceeds a preset value, the valve core 351 moves upward under the action of the water flow, thereby pushing the spring seat 353 upward to compress the return spring 352. At this time, the water inlet 321 is in the open state. When the water pressure in the water supply pipe 13 is less than the preset value, the spring seat 353 pushes the valve core 351 downward to reset under the restoring force of the return spring 352, thereby closing the water inlet 321. That is, by setting the water valve assembly 35 with the above structure, the automatic opening and closing of the water inlet 321 can be achieved, improving the practicality of the liquid heating container 3.

[0080] Specifically, the valve core 351 can be a spherical structure, which abuts against the water inlet 321 under the action of gravity and the elastic force of the return spring 352, thereby closing the water inlet 321. Of course, the valve core 351 can also be other shapes, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0081] The spring seat 353 may have a cylindrical structure, which can limit the position of the return spring 352 and improve the installation stability of the return spring. In addition, at least a portion of the valve core 351 may be located inside the spring seat 353 to improve the installation stability between the valve core 351 and the spring seat 353.

[0082] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific value of the preset water flow pressure. The preset water flow pressure can be adjusted by replacing the valve core 351, the reset spring 352, or the spring seat 353 with different materials or weights. This embodiment also does not limit the adjustment method.

[0083] In this embodiment, a water pump (not shown in the figure) is also installed inside the body 14 of the water drinking equipment. The water pump is used to pump the water in the water tank 2 to the water supply pipe 13. The water pump and the water supply pipe 13 can be connected through the connecting pipe 17.

[0084] In this embodiment, the water inlet 321 can be integrated with the water inlet pipe 32. Alternatively, a sealing sleeve 36 can be installed inside the water inlet pipe 32, and the water inlet 321 can be disposed within the sealing sleeve 36. Figure 5 As shown, the sealing sleeve 36 has a hollow structure to form a water inlet 321. When the first coupler 12 and the second coupler 31 are plugged in, at least a portion of the water supply pipe 13 extends into the sealing sleeve 36. At this time, the sealing sleeve 36 can wrap around the water outlet end of the water supply pipe 13, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage at the connection between the water supply pipe 13 and the water inlet pipe 32 and improving the user experience.

[0085] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the liquid heating container 3 includes a container body 301, a container lid 302, and a filter basket assembly 34. The spout 301a and the inner cavity 33 are both located within the container body 301. The container lid 302 is fastened to the container body 301 to seal and prevent dust from entering the inner cavity 33. The filter basket assembly 34 is located within the inner cavity 33 and can be used to hold solids such as tea leaves, medicinal herbs, and food ingredients, facilitating solid-liquid separation when brewing tea or medicine. Specifically, the filter basket assembly 34 includes an upper cover 341 and a filter basket body 342. The upper cover 341 is fixedly connected to the container lid 302, and the filter basket body 342 can be detachably connected to the upper cover 341 via snap-fit, magnetic attraction, or threads, allowing for easy cleaning of the interior of the filter basket assembly 34.

[0086] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
