Liquid Dispensing Unit With Adjustable Nozzle Retraction

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the retraction force generation element a spring instead of a static ballast element. The spring can dynamically adjust its force and accommodate limited movement space while maintaining reliable retraction function. The spring's elastic properties allow it to generate retraction force without requiring the large movement space needed for a ballast element, thereby eliminating collision risks with kitchen objects.

The patent changes the physical parameters of the retraction force generation element from a gravity-dependent ballast to an elastic spring system. This parameter change allows the retraction force to be generated through elastic deformation rather than gravitational pull, enabling the mechanism to function reliably in confined spaces where ballast elements would collide with surrounding objects.

The patent applies segmentation by providing separate retraction mechanisms for each liquid supply system. Each retraction mechanism is independently configured with its own spring and adjustment means, allowing each to be optimized for its specific space constraints and liquid dispensing requirements. This segmentation prevents interference between multiple liquid supply systems while maintaining reliable retraction function for each.

The patent implements universality through the adjustable holding unit that can be positioned at different locations and oriented in different directions. This universal design allows the same retraction mechanism structure to be adapted to various space configurations and multiple liquid supply systems, maintaining reliability across different installation scenarios.

The patent applies dynamics by making the holding unit adjustable rather than fixed. The holding unit can be positioned at different locations and oriented in different directions to adapt to various use cases and space constraints. This dynamic adjustability is achieved through adjustment means that allow modification of the holding unit's position and orientation without significantly increasing structural complexity.

The patent implements preliminary action by providing adjustment means that allow the holding unit to be pre-configured in different positions and orientations before operation. This preliminary adjustment capability enables the retraction force direction to be adapted to different use cases during installation, eliminating the need for complex adjustable mechanisms during operation.
