Technical Field

[0059] The water intake switch assembly and the refrigeration equipment of the present application are described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 .

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, a water intake switch assembly is used for refrigeration equipment. The water intake switch assembly includes a switch body 1, a microswitch 2, a pressure plate 3, and an elastic reset member 4. The microswitch 2 is mounted on the switch body 1, and the pressure plate 3 is connected to the switch body 1. The pressure plate 3 can move relative to the switch body 1. The microswitch 2 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3. The pressure plate 3 is suitable for triggering the microswitch 2. The elastic reset member 4 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3. Based on the triggering of the microswitch 2 by the pressure plate 3, the elastic reset member 4 is deformed.

[0061] According to the water intake switch assembly of the embodiment of the present application, when the pressure plate 3 is not subjected to external force, that is, when the user does not press the pressure plate 3, the pressure plate 3 is in the initial position and will not trigger the micro switch 2. When the user presses the pressure plate 3, the pressure plate 3 will move relative to the switch body 1. Since the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3, as the pressure plate 3 moves, the pressure plate 3 will trigger the micro switch 2, making the micro switch 2 connected. At this time, the elastic reset member 4 is deformed under the drive of the pressure plate 3. When the user finishes taking water and no longer presses the pressure plate 3, the elastic reset member 4 will restore the deformation and drive the pressure plate 3 back to the initial position, realizing the reset of the pressure plate 3. At this time, the micro switch 2 is in the disconnected state. That is, the present application directly triggers the micro switch 2 through the pressure plate 3 without the need for additional connecting components, thereby simplifying the structure of the water intake switch assembly and making the installation of the water intake switch assembly more convenient.

[0062] It is understandable that in the related art, the water dispensing switch assembly requires a connecting rod to trigger the switch when the user presses the pressure plate 3, resulting in a complex structure and relatively troublesome installation of the water dispensing switch assembly. However, the present application disposes the micro switch 2 in the motion path of the pressure plate 3, so that the pressure plate 3 can directly trigger the micro switch 2, simplifying the structure of the water dispensing switch assembly and making it more convenient to install the water dispensing switch assembly.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the switch body 1 is formed with a mounting cavity 11, and the pressure plate 3 can be movably installed in the mounting cavity 11, so that the micro switch 2 can be switched between a closed state and an open state, wherein, in the closed state, the pressure plate 3 abuts against the micro switch 2, the pressure plate 3 triggers the micro switch 2, and the elastic return member 4 is compressed by the pressure plate 3 and deformed, and in the open state, the elastic return member 4 recovers the deformation.

[0064] It is understandable that pressing the pressing plate 3 causes the pressing plate 3 to move relative to the mounting cavity 11, causing the pressing plate 3 to trigger the microswitch 2, putting the microswitch 2 in a closed state, at which point the user can draw water. When the user finishes drawing water and no longer presses the pressing plate 3, the elastic reset member 4 restores its deformation and drives the pressing plate 3 back to its initial position, thereby causing the pressing plate 3 to no longer trigger the microswitch 2, thereby switching the microswitch 2 from a closed state to an open state. That is, the user only needs to press the pressing plate 3 to switch the microswitch 2 between the closed state and the open state, and no additional connection structure is required between the pressing plate 3 and the microswitch 2, making the structure simpler.

[0065] It is understandable that, in the disconnected state, the pressing plate 3 may maintain contact with the micro switch 2 without triggering the micro switch 2 , or the pressing plate 3 may be out of contact with the micro switch 2 .

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, the first end of the pressure plate 3 is rotatably connected to the switch body 1 , the second end of the pressure plate 3 is rotatable relative to the switch body 1 , and the micro switch 2 is located on the rotation path of the second end of the pressure plate 3 .

[0067] It can be understood that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, the first end of the pressure plate 3 can rotate relative to the switch body 1, so that the second end of the pressure plate 3 can rotate relative to the switch body 1, and the micro switch 2 is located on the rotation path of the pressure plate 3, then pressing the pressure plate 3 can directly trigger the micro switch 2, so that the user can draw water, simplifying the structure of the water draw switch assembly.

[0068] It is understood that the rotational amplitude at the second end of the pressing plate 3 is greater than the rotational amplitude at the first end of the pressing plate 3. The microswitch 2 is arranged on the rotational path of the second end of the pressing plate 3, so that the pressing plate 3 can switch between a position in which the microswitch 2 is triggered and a position in which the microswitch 2 is not triggered. In other words, the microswitch 2 is arranged on the rotational path of the second end of the pressing plate 3, which ensures that the pressing plate 3 will not trigger the microswitch 2 when it is not pressed.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present application, the pressing plate 3 is movable relative to the switch body 1 , and the micro switch 2 is located on the moving path of the pressing plate 3 .

[0070] It can be understood that pressing the pressure plate 3 causes the pressure plate 3 to move relative to the switch body 1, and the microswitch 2 is located on the moving path of the pressure plate 3. The microswitch 2 can be triggered when the pressure plate 3 moves, so that the pressure plate 3 can directly trigger the microswitch 2, simplifying the structure of the water intake switch assembly.

[0071] It is understandable that the movement may be left-right movement, up-down movement, front-back movement, or movement in any other suitable direction.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present application, guide grooves are provided on two opposite side walls of the installation cavity 11 , and the pressure plate 3 is formed with guide blocks inserted into the guide grooves. The guide blocks can move relative to the guide grooves.

[0073] It can be understood that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, the guide block of the pressure plate 3 will move along the guide groove. The guide groove can guide the pressure plate 3 so that the pressure plate 3 can move stably relative to the switch body 1, so that the pressure plate 3 can stably trigger the micro switch 2.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the pressure plate 3 includes a pressure plate body 31 and a trigger block 32, the trigger block 32 is connected to the end of the pressure plate body 31, the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the trigger block 32, and the elastic reset member 4 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate body 31.

[0075] It is understandable that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, the pressure plate body 31 and the trigger block 32 move together relative to the switch body 1, so that the trigger block 32 can trigger the micro switch 2, thereby directly triggering the micro switch 2. The elastic return member 4 is arranged on the movement path of the pressure plate body 31. When the trigger block 32 triggers the micro switch 2, the pressure plate body 31 compresses the elastic return member 4, causing the elastic return member 4 to deform. When the pressure plate 3 is no longer pressed, the elastic return member 4 recovers its deformation and drives the pressure plate body 31 back to its initial position. The trigger block 32 then moves along with the pressure plate body 31 in a direction away from the micro switch 2, so that the trigger block 32 no longer triggers the micro switch 2, thereby achieving the opening and closing control of the micro switch 2 by pressing.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the pressure plate 3 includes a pressure plate body 31 and a trigger block 32, the trigger block 32 is connected to the end of the pressure plate body 31, the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the trigger block 32, and the elastic reset member 4 is located on the movement path of the trigger block 32.

[0077] It is understandable that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, the pressure plate body 31 and the trigger block 32 move together relative to the switch body 1, so that the trigger block 32 can trigger the micro switch 2, thereby directly triggering the micro switch 2. The elastic return member 4 is arranged on the movement path of the pressure plate body 31. When the trigger block 32 triggers the micro switch 2, the trigger block 32 also compresses the elastic return member 4, causing the elastic return member 4 to deform. When the pressure plate 3 is no longer pressed, the elastic return member 4 recovers its deformation and drives the trigger block 32 and the pressure plate body 31 back to their initial positions, so that the trigger block 32 no longer triggers the micro switch 2, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the micro switch 2 controlled by pressing.

[0078] In one embodiment of the present application, the trigger block 32 includes an arc-shaped trigger portion, the first end of the arc-shaped trigger portion is connected to the pressure plate body 31, the second end of the arc-shaped trigger portion protrudes and extends in the direction of the micro switch 2, and the second end of the arc-shaped trigger portion is suitable for triggering the micro switch 2.

[0079] It can be understood that the second end of the arc-shaped triggering portion is extended to the micro switch 2, so that the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the second end of the arc-shaped triggering portion, so that the arc-shaped triggering portion can trigger the micro switch 2 when it moves with the movement of the pressure plate body 31.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the trigger block 32 is, for example, integrally formed with the pressure plate body 31 , so that the structure of the pressure plate 3 is more stable.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the switch body 1 is formed with a groove 12 , a first end of the elastic return member 4 is located in the groove 12 , and a second end of the elastic return member 4 is connected to the pressure plate 3 .

[0082] It can be understood that the groove 12 can limit the elastic reset member 4, so that the elastic reset member 4 can remain stable and can stably drive the pressure plate 3 to reset.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the water intake switch assembly is formed with a water outlet 13, which is located between the micro switch 2 and the second end of the pressure plate 3, and the water outlet 13 faces the pressure plate 3.

[0084] It can be understood that by setting the water outlet 13 between the micro switch 2 and the second end of the pressure plate 3, and the water outlet 13 facing the pressure plate 3, the water at the water outlet 13 will flow to the pressure plate 3, and will not flow to the micro switch 2, which can effectively prevent the micro switch 2 from contacting water and malfunctioning.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, the water intake switch assembly includes a switch body 1, a pressure plate 3 and a shell 5. The switch body 1 is formed with a rotation groove 14, and the switch body 1 is formed with a mounting cavity 11. The pressure plate 3 is installed in the mounting cavity 11. The first end of the pressure plate 3 is inserted into the rotation groove 14, and the first end of the pressure plate 3 can rotate relative to the rotation groove 14. The shell 5 is provided at the opening of the mounting cavity 11. The shell 5 is located on the rotation path of the pressure plate 3, so that the pressure plate 3 rotates in the mounting cavity 11 relative to the switch body 1.

[0086] According to the water intake switch assembly of the embodiment of the present application, the first end of the pressure plate 3 is directly inserted into the rotation groove 14, and then the pressure plate 3 is rotated so that the pressure plate 3 rotates into the installation cavity 11, and then the shell 5 is set at the opening of the installation cavity 11. The shell 5 is located on the rotation path of the pressure plate 3 to rotate out of the installation cavity 11, so that the pressure plate 3 will abut against the shell 5 when rotating out of the installation cavity 11, that is, the pressure plate 3 will be blocked by the shell 5 when rotating outward. At this time, the shell 5 can limit the pressure plate 3 in the installation cavity 11, so that the pressure plate 3 can only rotate within the installation cavity 11, and the first end of the pressure plate 3 cannot escape from the rotation groove 14. When it is necessary to remove the pressure plate 3, the shell 5 is removed, and then the pressure plate 3 is rotated so that the second end of the pressure plate 3 rotates out of the installation cavity 11, and then the first end of the pressure plate 3 is taken out of the rotation groove 14, and the pressure plate 3 can be removed. That is, in this embodiment, the pressing plate 3 is limited by the rotating groove 14 and the housing 5, thereby simplifying the limiting structure of the pressing plate 3 and making the disassembly and assembly of the pressing plate 3 more convenient.

[0087] It is understandable that when the pressure plate 3 rotates in the installation cavity 11 under external force, the water intake switch is set on the rotation path of the pressure plate 3, so that the pressure plate 3 can trigger the water intake switch, allowing the user to take water.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the notch 15 of the rotation slot 14 faces the housing 5 .

[0089] It is understandable that when installing the pressing plate 3, the pressing plate 3 needs to be tilted so that along the direction from the second end of the pressing plate 3 to the first end of the pressing plate 3, the pressing plate 3 gradually tilts downward toward the direction of the installation cavity 11. At this time, the second end of the pressing plate 3 is outside the installation cavity 11, and then the first end of the pressing plate 3 can be aligned with the notch 15 of the rotation groove 14, so that the first end of the pressing plate 3 is inserted into the rotation groove 14. Then, the pressing plate 3 is rotated so that the second end of the pressing plate 3 is inside the installation cavity 11, and the pressing plate 3 is limited by the housing 5 to rotate only within the installation cavity 11. Then, no matter how the pressing plate 3 rotates within the installation cavity 11, it cannot be rotated to a position where the first end of the pressing plate 3 can be separated from the rotation groove 14, thereby realizing the effective limitation of the pressing plate 3 by the rotation groove 14 and the housing 5.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, a rotating block 111 is provided on the inner wall surface of the installation cavity 11, and the rotating block 111 forms a rotating groove 14. A rotating shaft 33 is formed at the first end of the pressure plate 3, and the rotating shaft 33 is inserted into the rotating groove 14. The rotating shaft 33 can rotate relative to the rotating groove 14.

[0091] It can be understood that by inserting the rotating shaft 33 at the first end of the pressing plate 3 into the rotating groove 14 at the rotating block 111, the rotatable installation of the first end of the pressing plate 3 can be achieved, which is simple and convenient.

[0092] For example, the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11 is provided with at least two rotating blocks 111, each of which is provided with a rotating groove 14. The first end of the pressure plate 3 can be formed with a number of rotating shafts 33 equal to the number of rotating blocks 111. The rotating shafts 33 and the rotating grooves 14 correspond to each other to achieve rotatable installation of the first end of the pressure plate 3. Alternatively, only one rotating shaft 33 can be formed at the first end of the pressure plate 3, in which case the rotating shafts 33 are simultaneously inserted into the rotating grooves 14 of different rotating blocks 111.

[0093] In one embodiment of the present application, the rotating shaft 33 forms a limiting block. Since the rotating shaft 33 is inserted into the rotating groove 14 , the limiting block abuts against the rotating block 111 .

[0094] It can be understood that when the rotating shaft 33 is inserted into the rotating groove 14, the limit block abuts against the rotating block 111. At this time, the limit block can limit the rotating shaft 33, so that the rotating shaft 33 can rotate relative to the rotating groove 14 but is difficult to move relative to the rotating groove 14, which can prevent the pressure plate 3 from shaking and shifting left and right, so that the pressure plate 3 remains stable, ensuring that the pressure plate 3 can stably trigger the micro switch 2.

[0095] Exemplarily, both sides of the rotating block 111 are slidably abutted against the limit blocks.

[0096] In one embodiment of the present application, the housing 5 is provided with a pressing hole, which is communicated with the installation cavity 11 .

[0097] It can be understood that by providing a pressing hole on the housing 5 , the user can press the pressing plate 3 through the pressing hole, which is convenient for operation.

[0098] In one embodiment of the present application, the housing 5 is provided in a partial area of ​​the opening of the installation cavity 11 .

[0099] It is understandable that the housing 5 is provided in a partial area of ​​the opening of the installation cavity 11 , so that the user can press the pressing plate 3 through other areas of the opening of the installation cavity 11 , which is convenient for operation.

[0100] In one embodiment of the present application, the housing 5 is detachably connected to the switch body 1 .

[0101] It is understood that when the pressure plate 3 is installed, the housing 5 can be connected to the switch body 1 to limit the position of the pressure plate 3. When the pressure plate 3 needs to be removed, the housing 5 can be removed from the switch body 1, and then the pressure plate 3 can be removed. That is, in this embodiment, the housing 5 is detachably connected to the switch body 1, which facilitates the removal and installation of the pressure plate 3.

[0102] In one embodiment of the present application, the elastic reset member 4 is located between the pressure plate 3 and the switch body 1 . When the pressure plate 3 triggers the micro switch 2 , the elastic reset member 4 is in a compressed state.

[0103] It is understood that when pressed, the pressure plate 3 rotates toward the switch body 1, i.e., the microswitch 2. This rotation compresses the elastic return member 4. When the pressure plate 3 triggers the microswitch 2, the elastic return member 4 is compressed by the pressure plate 3. When the pressure plate 3 is no longer compressed, the elastic return member 4 recovers its shape and rotates the pressure plate 3 away from the switch body 1, i.e., the microswitch 2. This stops the pressure plate 3 from triggering the microswitch 2, thus restoring the pressure plate 3.

[0104] In one embodiment of the present application, the elastic reset member 4 is located between the pressure plate 3 and the housing 5 . When the pressure plate 3 triggers the micro switch 2 , the elastic reset member 4 is in a stretched state.

[0105] It is understood that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, it rotates toward the switch body 1, that is, the microswitch 2, that is, the pressure plate 3 moves away from the housing 5. The rotation of the pressure plate 3 pulls the elastic return member 4. When the pressure plate 3 rotates to trigger the microswitch 2, the elastic return member 4 is stretched by the pressure plate 3 and is in a stretched state. When the pressure plate 3 is no longer pressed, the elastic return member 4 recovers its deformation and drives the pressure plate 3 to rotate toward the housing 5, so that the pressure plate 3 no longer triggers the microswitch 2, and the pressure plate 3 is reset.

[0106] In one embodiment of the present application, the micro switch 2 and the pressure plate 3 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction.

[0107] It is understandable that the micro switch 2 and the pressing plate 3 are arranged vertically in sequence so that the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the pressing plate 3 , so that the pressing plate 3 can directly trigger the micro switch 2 .

[0108] It is understandable that in the related art, when the microswitch 2 is arranged horizontally, the pressure plate 3 cannot directly trigger the microswitch 2. In this case, a connecting rod or other suitable components must be provided to enable the pressure plate 3 to trigger the microswitch 2 through the connecting rod. However, by arranging both the microswitch 2 and the pressure plate 3 vertically, the pressure plate 3 can directly trigger the microswitch 2, eliminating the need for additional components such as connecting rods, thereby simplifying the structure of the water intake assembly.

[0109] It is understood that the vertical direction refers to the height direction of the water inlet switch assembly when it is installed on the refrigeration equipment. That is, the micro switch 2 and the pressure plate 3 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, which means that the micro switch 2 and the pressure plate 3 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the water inlet switch assembly or the height direction of the refrigeration equipment.

[0110] Exemplarily, along the length direction of the switch body 1 , the micro switch 2 and the pressure plate 3 are arranged in sequence.

[0111] In one embodiment of the present application, the switch body 1 forms a limit cavity, and the micro switch 2 is limited in the limit cavity.

[0112] It is understandable that the micro switch 2 is limited in the limit cavity, and the limit cavity can limit the micro switch 2, so that the micro switch 2 can be stably set on the switch body 1.

[0113] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG3 , FIG4 and FIG5 , the micro switch 2 includes a switch body 21 and a touch piece 22 . The touch piece 22 is connected to the switch body 21 and is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3 .

[0114] It is understood that when the pressing plate 3 is pressed to move the pressing plate 3, the contact element 22 is located in the movement path of the pressing plate 3, so that the pressing plate 3 can squeeze the contact element 22, thereby successfully triggering the micro switch 2. When the pressing plate 3 is no longer pressed, the elastic return element 4 will drive the pressing plate 3 back to the initial position, so that the pressing plate 3 no longer squeezes the contact element 22, and the micro switch 2 is in the non-triggered state.

[0115] Exemplarily, the trigger 22 faces the pressure plate 3 , ensuring that the trigger 22 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3 , so that the pressure plate 3 can successfully squeeze the trigger 22 when moving, thereby triggering the micro switch 2 .

[0116] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG5 , the first side wall of the switch body 21 faces the pressure plate 3 , the second side wall of the mounting cavity 11 faces the pressure plate 3 , and the distance between the first side wall and the second side wall is 12 mm to 16 mm.

[0117] It is understandable that the distance between the first side wall of the switch body 21 and the second side wall of the mounting cavity 11 is set between 12 mm and 16 mm, so that the width of the micro switch 2 is controlled within a certain range to avoid the width of the micro switch 2 being too large.

[0118] It is understood that by setting the width of the micro switch 2 between 12 mm and 16 mm, the thickness of the switch body 1 on which the micro switch 2 is mounted will not be too thick. The water dispensing switch assembly is generally mounted on the inner wall of the refrigeration tank, and thus controlling the width of the micro switch 2 can prevent the water dispensing switch assembly from being too thick and affecting the thickness of the refrigeration tank insulation layer.

[0119] Exemplarily, the width of the micro switch 2 is, for example, 15.6 mm or 15.8 mm.

[0120] Exemplarily, the length of the micro switch 2 is, for example, 20 mm to 30 mm. Preferably, the length of the micro switch 2 is 20 mm or 28.8 mm.

[0121] For example, the thickness of the micro switch 2 is 6 mm to 11 mm, and preferably the thickness of the micro switch 2 is 6.4 mm or 10.2 mm.

[0122] According to an embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration equipment includes the above-mentioned water intake switch assembly.

[0123] According to the refrigeration equipment of the embodiment of the present application, it has a water intake switch assembly. When the pressure plate 3 is not subjected to external force, that is, when the user does not press the pressure plate 3, the pressure plate 3 is in the initial position and will not trigger the micro switch 2. When the user presses the pressure plate 3, the pressure plate 3 will move relative to the switch body 1. Since the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3, as the pressure plate 3 moves, the pressure plate 3 will trigger the micro switch 2, making the micro switch 2 connected. At this time, the elastic reset member 4 is deformed under the drive of the pressure plate 3. When the user finishes taking water and no longer presses the pressure plate 3, the elastic reset member 4 will restore the deformation and drive the pressure plate 3 back to the initial position, realizing the reset of the pressure plate 3. At this time, the micro switch 2 is in the disconnected state. That is, the present application directly triggers the micro switch 2 through the pressure plate 3 without the need for additional connecting parts, thereby simplifying the structure of the water intake switch assembly and making the installation of the water intake switch assembly more convenient.

[0124] According to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, the water intake switch assembly includes a switch body 1, a pressure plate 3 and a shell 5. The switch body 1 is formed with a rotation groove 14, and the switch body 1 is formed with an installation cavity 11. The pressure plate 3 is installed in the installation cavity 11. The first end of the pressure plate 3 is inserted into the rotation groove 14, and the first end of the pressure plate 3 can rotate relative to the rotation groove 14. The shell 5 is provided at the opening of the installation cavity 11. The shell 5 is located on the rotation path of the pressure plate 3, so that the pressure plate 3 rotates in the installation cavity 11 relative to the switch body 1.

[0125] According to the water intake switch assembly of the embodiment of the present application, the first end of the pressure plate 3 is directly inserted into the rotation groove 14, and then the pressure plate 3 is rotated so that the pressure plate 3 rotates into the installation cavity 11, and then the shell 5 is set at the opening of the installation cavity 11. The shell 5 is located on the rotation path of the pressure plate 3 to rotate out of the installation cavity 11, so that the pressure plate 3 will abut against the shell 5 when rotating out of the installation cavity 11, that is, the pressure plate 3 will be blocked by the shell 5 when rotating outward. At this time, the shell 5 can limit the pressure plate 3 in the installation cavity 11, so that the pressure plate 3 can only rotate within the installation cavity 11, and the first end of the pressure plate 3 cannot escape from the rotation groove 14. When it is necessary to remove the pressure plate 3, the shell 5 is removed, and then the pressure plate 3 is rotated so that the second end of the pressure plate 3 rotates out of the installation cavity 11, and then the first end of the pressure plate 3 is taken out of the rotation groove 14, and the pressure plate 3 can be removed. That is, in this embodiment, the pressing plate 3 is limited by the rotating groove 14 and the housing 5, thereby simplifying the limiting structure of the pressing plate 3 and making the disassembly and assembly of the pressing plate 3 more convenient.

[0126] It is understandable that when the pressure plate 3 rotates in the installation cavity 11 under external force, the water intake switch is set on the rotation path of the pressure plate 3, so that the pressure plate 3 can trigger the water intake switch, allowing the user to take water.

[0127] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the notch 15 of the rotation slot 14 faces the housing 5 .

[0128] It is understandable that when installing the pressing plate 3, the pressing plate 3 needs to be tilted so that along the direction from the second end of the pressing plate 3 to the first end of the pressing plate 3, the pressing plate 3 gradually tilts downward toward the direction of the installation cavity 11. At this time, the second end of the pressing plate 3 is outside the installation cavity 11, and then the first end of the pressing plate 3 can be aligned with the notch 15 of the rotation groove 14, so that the first end of the pressing plate 3 is inserted into the rotation groove 14. Then, the pressing plate 3 is rotated so that the second end of the pressing plate 3 is inside the installation cavity 11, and the pressing plate 3 is limited by the housing 5 to rotate only within the installation cavity 11. Then, no matter how the pressing plate 3 rotates within the installation cavity 11, it cannot be rotated to a position where the first end of the pressing plate 3 can be separated from the rotation groove 14, thereby realizing the effective limitation of the pressing plate 3 by the rotation groove 14 and the housing 5.

[0129] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, a rotating block 111 is provided on the inner wall surface of the installation cavity 11, and the rotating block 111 forms a rotating groove 14. A rotating shaft 33 is formed at the first end of the pressure plate 3, and the rotating shaft 33 is inserted into the rotating groove 14. The rotating shaft 33 can rotate relative to the rotating groove 14.

[0130] It can be understood that by inserting the rotating shaft 33 at the first end of the pressing plate 3 into the rotating groove 14 at the rotating block 111, the rotatable installation of the first end of the pressing plate 3 can be achieved, which is simple and convenient.

[0131] For example, the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11 is provided with at least two rotating blocks 111, each of which is provided with a rotating groove 14. The first end of the pressure plate 3 can be formed with a number of rotating shafts 33 equal to the number of rotating blocks 111. The rotating shafts 33 and the rotating grooves 14 correspond to each other to achieve rotatable installation of the first end of the pressure plate 3. Alternatively, only one rotating shaft 33 can be formed at the first end of the pressure plate 3, in which case the rotating shafts 33 are simultaneously inserted into the rotating grooves 14 of different rotating blocks 111.

[0132] In one embodiment of the present application, the rotating shaft 33 forms a limiting block. Since the rotating shaft 33 is inserted into the rotating groove 14 , the limiting block abuts against the rotating block 111 .

[0133] It can be understood that when the rotating shaft 33 is inserted into the rotating groove 14, the limit block abuts against the rotating block 111. At this time, the limit block can limit the rotating shaft 33, so that the rotating shaft 33 can rotate relative to the rotating groove 14 but is difficult to move relative to the rotating groove 14, which can prevent the pressure plate 3 from shaking and shifting left and right, so that the pressure plate 3 remains stable, ensuring that the pressure plate 3 can stably trigger the micro switch 2.

[0134] Exemplarily, both sides of the rotating block 111 are slidably abutted against the limit blocks.

[0135] In one embodiment of the present application, the housing 5 is provided with a pressing hole, which is communicated with the installation cavity 11 .

[0136] It can be understood that by providing a pressing hole on the housing 5 , the user can press the pressing plate 3 through the pressing hole, which is convenient for operation.

[0137] In one embodiment of the present application, the housing 5 is provided in a partial area of ​​the opening of the installation cavity 11 .

[0138] It is understandable that the housing 5 is provided in a partial area of ​​the opening of the installation cavity 11 , so that the user can press the pressing plate 3 through other areas of the opening of the installation cavity 11 , which is convenient for operation.

[0139] In one embodiment of the present application, the housing 5 is detachably connected to the switch body 1 .

[0140] It is understood that when the pressure plate 3 is installed, the housing 5 can be connected to the switch body 1 to limit the position of the pressure plate 3. When the pressure plate 3 needs to be removed, the housing 5 can be removed from the switch body 1, and then the pressure plate 3 can be removed. That is, in this embodiment, the housing 5 is detachably connected to the switch body 1, which facilitates the removal and installation of the pressure plate 3.

[0141] In one embodiment of the present application, the elastic reset member 4 is located between the pressure plate 3 and the switch body 1 . When the pressure plate 3 triggers the micro switch 2 , the elastic reset member 4 is in a compressed state.

[0142] It is understood that when pressed, the pressure plate 3 rotates toward the switch body 1, i.e., the microswitch 2. This rotation compresses the elastic return member 4. When the pressure plate 3 triggers the microswitch 2, the elastic return member 4 is compressed by the pressure plate 3. When the pressure plate 3 is no longer compressed, the elastic return member 4 recovers its shape and rotates the pressure plate 3 away from the switch body 1, i.e., the microswitch 2. This stops the pressure plate 3 from triggering the microswitch 2, thus restoring the pressure plate 3.

[0143] In one embodiment of the present application, the elastic reset member 4 is located between the pressure plate 3 and the housing 5 . When the pressure plate 3 triggers the micro switch 2 , the elastic reset member 4 is in a stretched state.

[0144] It is understood that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, it rotates toward the switch body 1, that is, the microswitch 2, that is, the pressure plate 3 moves away from the housing 5. The rotation of the pressure plate 3 pulls the elastic return member 4. When the pressure plate 3 rotates to trigger the microswitch 2, the elastic return member 4 is stretched by the pressure plate 3 and is in a stretched state. When the pressure plate 3 is no longer pressed, the elastic return member 4 recovers its deformation and drives the pressure plate 3 to rotate toward the housing 5, so that the pressure plate 3 no longer triggers the microswitch 2, and the pressure plate 3 is reset.

[0145] In one embodiment of the present application, the micro switch 2 and the pressure plate 3 are arranged in sequence along the vertical direction.

[0146] It is understandable that the micro switch 2 and the pressing plate 3 are arranged vertically in sequence so that the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the pressing plate 3 , so that the pressing plate 3 can directly trigger the micro switch 2 .

[0147] It is understandable that in the related art, when the microswitch 2 is arranged horizontally, the pressure plate 3 cannot directly trigger the microswitch 2. In this case, a connecting rod or other suitable components must be provided to enable the pressure plate 3 to trigger the microswitch 2 through the connecting rod. However, by arranging both the microswitch 2 and the pressure plate 3 vertically, the pressure plate 3 can directly trigger the microswitch 2, eliminating the need for additional components such as connecting rods, thereby simplifying the structure of the water intake assembly.

[0148] Exemplarily, along the length direction of the switch body 1 , the micro switch 2 and the pressure plate 3 are arranged in sequence.

[0149] In one embodiment of the present application, the switch body 1 forms a limit cavity, and the micro switch 2 is limited in the limit cavity.

[0150] It is understandable that the micro switch 2 is limited in the limit cavity, and the limit cavity can limit the micro switch 2, so that the micro switch 2 can be stably set on the switch body 1.

[0151] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG5 , the width direction of the micro switch 2 is the same as the thickness direction of the switch body 1 , and the width of the micro switch 2 is 15 mm-16 mm.

[0152] It is understood that by setting the width of the micro switch 2 between 15 mm and 16 mm, the thickness of the switch body 1 on which the micro switch 2 is mounted will not be too thick. The water dispensing switch assembly is generally mounted on the inner wall of the refrigeration tank, and thus controlling the width of the micro switch 2 can prevent the water dispensing switch assembly from being too thick and affecting the thickness of the refrigeration tank insulation layer.

[0153] Exemplarily, the width of the micro switch 2 is, for example, 15.6 mm or 15.8 mm.

[0154] Exemplarily, the length of the micro switch 2 is, for example, 20 mm to 30 mm. Preferably, the length of the micro switch 2 is 20 mm or 28.8 mm.

[0155] For example, the thickness of the micro switch 2 is 6 mm to 11 mm, and preferably the thickness of the micro switch 2 is 6.4 mm or 10.2 mm.

[0156] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG3 , FIG4 and FIG5 , the micro switch 2 includes a switch body 21 and a touch piece 22 . The touch piece 22 is connected to the switch body 21 and is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3 .

[0157] It is understood that when the pressing plate 3 is pressed to move the pressing plate 3, the contact element 22 is located in the movement path of the pressing plate 3, so that the pressing plate 3 can squeeze the contact element 22, thereby successfully triggering the micro switch 2. When the pressing plate 3 is no longer pressed, the elastic return element 4 will drive the pressing plate 3 back to the initial position, so that the pressing plate 3 no longer squeezes the contact element 22, and the micro switch 2 is in the non-triggered state.

[0158] Exemplarily, the trigger 22 faces the pressure plate 3 , ensuring that the trigger 22 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3 , so that the pressure plate 3 can successfully squeeze the trigger 22 when moving, thereby triggering the micro switch 2 .

[0159] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, a water intake switch assembly is used in refrigeration equipment. The water intake switch assembly includes a switch body 1, a microswitch 2, a pressure plate 3, and an elastic return member 4. The microswitch 2 is mounted on the switch body 1, and the pressure plate 3 is connected to the switch body 1. The pressure plate 3 can move relative to the switch body 1. The microswitch 2 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3. The pressure plate 3 is suitable for triggering the microswitch 2. The elastic return member 4 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3. Based on the triggering of the microswitch 2 by the pressure plate 3, the elastic return member 4 is deformed.

[0160] According to the water intake switch assembly of the embodiment of the present application, when the pressure plate 3 is not subjected to external force, that is, when the user does not press the pressure plate 3, the pressure plate 3 is in the initial position and will not trigger the micro switch 2. When the user presses the pressure plate 3, the pressure plate 3 will move relative to the switch body 1. Since the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate 3, as the pressure plate 3 moves, the pressure plate 3 will trigger the micro switch 2, making the micro switch 2 connected. At this time, the elastic reset member 4 is deformed under the drive of the pressure plate 3. When the user finishes taking water and no longer presses the pressure plate 3, the elastic reset member 4 will restore the deformation and drive the pressure plate 3 back to the initial position, realizing the reset of the pressure plate 3. At this time, the micro switch 2 is in the disconnected state. That is, the present application directly triggers the micro switch 2 through the pressure plate 3 without the need for additional connecting components, thereby simplifying the structure of the water intake switch assembly and making the installation of the water intake switch assembly more convenient.

[0161] It is understandable that in the related art, the water dispensing switch assembly requires a connecting rod to trigger the switch when the user presses the pressure plate 3, resulting in a complex structure and relatively troublesome installation of the water dispensing switch assembly. However, the present application disposes the micro switch 2 in the motion path of the pressure plate 3, so that the pressure plate 3 can directly trigger the micro switch 2, simplifying the structure of the water dispensing switch assembly and making it more convenient to install the water dispensing switch assembly.

[0162] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the switch body 1 is formed with a mounting cavity 11, and the pressure plate 3 can be movably installed in the mounting cavity 11, so that the micro switch 2 can be switched between a closed state and an open state, wherein, in the closed state, the pressure plate 3 abuts against the micro switch 2, the pressure plate 3 triggers the micro switch 2, and the elastic return member 4 is compressed by the pressure plate 3 and deformed, and in the open state, the elastic return member 4 recovers the deformation.

[0163] It is understandable that pressing the pressing plate 3 causes the pressing plate 3 to move relative to the mounting cavity 11, causing the pressing plate 3 to trigger the microswitch 2, putting the microswitch 2 in a closed state, at which point the user can draw water. When the user finishes drawing water and no longer presses the pressing plate 3, the elastic reset member 4 restores its deformation and drives the pressing plate 3 back to its initial position, thereby causing the pressing plate 3 to no longer trigger the microswitch 2, thereby switching the microswitch 2 from a closed state to an open state. That is, the user only needs to press the pressing plate 3 to switch the microswitch 2 between the closed state and the open state, and no additional connection structure is required between the pressing plate 3 and the microswitch 2, making the structure simpler.

[0164] It is understandable that, in the disconnected state, the pressing plate 3 may maintain contact with the micro switch 2 without triggering the micro switch 2 , or the pressing plate 3 may be out of contact with the micro switch 2 .

[0165] In one embodiment of the present application, the first end of the pressure plate 3 is rotatably connected to the switch body 1 , the second end of the pressure plate 3 is rotatable relative to the switch body 1 , and the micro switch 2 is located on the rotation path of the second end of the pressure plate 3 .

[0166] It can be understood that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, the first end of the pressure plate 3 can rotate relative to the switch body 1, so that the second end of the pressure plate 3 can rotate relative to the switch body 1, and the micro switch 2 is located on the rotation path of the pressure plate 3, then pressing the pressure plate 3 can directly trigger the micro switch 2, so that the user can draw water, simplifying the structure of the water draw switch assembly.

[0167] It is understood that the rotational amplitude at the second end of the pressing plate 3 is greater than the rotational amplitude at the first end of the pressing plate 3. The microswitch 2 is arranged on the rotational path of the second end of the pressing plate 3, so that the pressing plate 3 can switch between a position in which the microswitch 2 is triggered and a position in which the microswitch 2 is not triggered. In other words, the microswitch 2 is arranged on the rotational path of the second end of the pressing plate 3, which ensures that the pressing plate 3 will not trigger the microswitch 2 when it is not pressed.

[0168] In one embodiment of the present application, the pressing plate 3 is movable relative to the switch body 1 , and the micro switch 2 is located on the moving path of the pressing plate 3 .

[0169] It can be understood that pressing the pressure plate 3 causes the pressure plate 3 to move relative to the switch body 1, and the microswitch 2 is located on the moving path of the pressure plate 3. The microswitch 2 can be triggered when the pressure plate 3 moves, so that the pressure plate 3 can directly trigger the microswitch 2, simplifying the structure of the water intake switch assembly.

[0170] It is understandable that the movement may be left-right movement, up-down movement, front-back movement, or movement in any other suitable direction.

[0171] In one embodiment of the present application, guide grooves are provided on two opposite side walls of the installation cavity 11 , and the pressure plate 3 is formed with guide blocks inserted into the guide grooves. The guide blocks can move relative to the guide grooves.

[0172] It can be understood that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, the guide block of the pressure plate 3 will move along the guide groove. The guide groove can guide the pressure plate 3 so that the pressure plate 3 can move stably relative to the switch body 1, so that the pressure plate 3 can stably trigger the micro switch 2.

[0173] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the pressure plate 3 includes a pressure plate body 31 and a trigger block 32, the trigger block 32 is connected to the end of the pressure plate body 31, the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the trigger block 32, and the elastic reset member 4 is located on the movement path of the pressure plate body 31.

[0174] It is understandable that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, the pressure plate body 31 and the trigger block 32 move together relative to the switch body 1, so that the trigger block 32 can trigger the micro switch 2, thereby directly triggering the micro switch 2. The elastic return member 4 is arranged on the movement path of the pressure plate body 31. When the trigger block 32 triggers the micro switch 2, the pressure plate body 31 compresses the elastic return member 4, causing the elastic return member 4 to deform. When the pressure plate 3 is no longer pressed, the elastic return member 4 recovers its deformation and drives the pressure plate body 31 back to its initial position. The trigger block 32 then moves along with the pressure plate body 31 in a direction away from the micro switch 2, so that the trigger block 32 no longer triggers the micro switch 2, thereby achieving the opening and closing control of the micro switch 2 by pressing.

[0175] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4, the pressure plate 3 includes a pressure plate body 31 and a trigger block 32, the trigger block 32 is connected to the end of the pressure plate body 31, the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the trigger block 32, and the elastic reset member 4 is located on the movement path of the trigger block 32.

[0176] It is understandable that when the pressure plate 3 is pressed, the pressure plate body 31 and the trigger block 32 move together relative to the switch body 1, so that the trigger block 32 can trigger the micro switch 2, thereby directly triggering the micro switch 2. The elastic return member 4 is arranged on the movement path of the pressure plate body 31. When the trigger block 32 triggers the micro switch 2, the trigger block 32 also compresses the elastic return member 4, causing the elastic return member 4 to deform. When the pressure plate 3 is no longer pressed, the elastic return member 4 recovers its deformation and drives the trigger block 32 and the pressure plate body 31 back to their initial positions, so that the trigger block 32 no longer triggers the micro switch 2, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the micro switch 2 controlled by pressing.

[0177] In one embodiment of the present application, the trigger block 32 includes an arc-shaped trigger portion, the first end of the arc-shaped trigger portion is connected to the pressure plate body 31, the second end of the arc-shaped trigger portion protrudes and extends in the direction of the micro switch 2, and the second end of the arc-shaped trigger portion is suitable for triggering the micro switch 2.

[0178] It can be understood that the second end of the arc-shaped triggering portion is extended to the micro switch 2, so that the micro switch 2 is located on the movement path of the second end of the arc-shaped triggering portion, so that the arc-shaped triggering portion can trigger the micro switch 2 when it moves with the movement of the pressure plate body 31.

[0179] In the embodiment of the present application, the trigger block 32 is, for example, integrally formed with the pressure plate body 31 , so that the structure of the pressure plate 3 is more stable.

[0180] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the switch body 1 is formed with a groove 12 , a first end of the elastic return member 4 is located in the groove 12 , and a second end of the elastic return member 4 is connected to the pressure plate 3 .

[0181] It can be understood that the groove 12 can limit the elastic reset member 4, so that the elastic reset member 4 can remain stable and can stably drive the pressure plate 3 to reset.

[0182] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the water intake switch assembly is formed with a water outlet 13, which is located between the micro switch 2 and the second end of the pressure plate 3, and the water outlet 13 faces the pressure plate 3.

[0183] It can be understood that by setting the water outlet 13 between the micro switch 2 and the second end of the pressure plate 3, and the water outlet 13 facing the pressure plate 3, the water at the water outlet 13 will flow to the pressure plate 3, and will not flow to the micro switch 2, which can effectively prevent the micro switch 2 from contacting water and malfunctioning.

[0184] According to an embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration equipment includes the above-mentioned water intake switch assembly.

[0185] According to the refrigeration device of the embodiment of the present application, it has a water intake switch assembly, the first end of the pressure plate 3 is directly inserted into the rotating groove 14, and then the pressure plate 3 is rotated so that the pressure plate 3 is rotated into the installation cavity 11, and then the shell 5 is set at the opening of the installation cavity 11. At this time, the shell 5 can limit the pressure plate 3 in the installation cavity 11, so that the pressure plate 3 can only rotate in the installation cavity 11, and the first end of the pressure plate 3 cannot escape from the rotating groove 14. When it is necessary to remove the pressure plate 3, the shell 5 is removed, and then the pressure plate 3 is rotated so that the second end of the pressure plate 3 is rotated out of the installation cavity 11, and then the first end of the pressure plate 3 is taken out of the rotating groove 14, and the pressure plate 3 can be removed. That is, this embodiment limits the pressure plate 3 by the rotating groove 14 and the shell 5, thereby simplifying the limiting structure of the pressure plate 3 and making the disassembly and assembly of the pressure plate 3 more convenient.

[0186] In one embodiment of the present application, the refrigeration device includes a box body, the box body is provided with a box liner, and the water intake switch assembly is located on the inner wall surface of the box liner.

[0187] It can be understood that the water intake switch assembly is arranged on the inner wall surface of the box, so that the user can press the pressure plate 3 from the box to obtain water, which is simple and convenient.

[0188] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present application do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application and are intended to be encompassed by the claims of the present application.
