Water dispenser structure and method for automatically detecting water supply

The present invention is a water dispenser structure and method for automatically detecting water supply, which can sense the container and the water level in the container through the sensor, which greatly increases the convenience and safety of water intake.

Supplementing water is something that everyone does not need to do every day. The methods of taking drinking water mainly include filling tap water in a teapot and boiling it, buying bottled water directly or directly to the water dispenser and using a container to fill water, but using teapots to fill tap water. When boiling, if the water stops boiling when it is boiling, it will contain many minerals, impurities, and even microorganisms, which are harmful and unhelpful for human consumption. Moreover, using gas to boil the water in the teapot will not only consume a lot of Gas and time, and during the boiling process, metal teapots will emit impurities due to high temperature, which will pollute the water quality during the boiling process and cause harm to the human body after drinking. Therefore, the society has less and less use of teapots for boiling water. .

Purchasing bottled water can ensure that the quality of human drinking water meets drinking standards, but if the PET bottle is reused, it will release toxins, and the PET bottle cannot withstand high temperature. If you need to drink hot water, you need to put the bottle in the bottle The pure water is poured out and heated, which will consume a lot of gas and time. Moreover, bottled water will cause a lot of plastic garbage to the environment, and even turn into marine garbage, causing great damage to the environment and marine life.

Compared with the aforementioned two ways of taking water, using a water dispenser to take water is relatively convenient. It not only has a switch for cold water and hot water, but also a warm water switch. The user only needs to take a container to the water dispenser. Before the water outlet, choose which water temperature switch you need and press it to fill water. However, common drinking fountains have several shortcomings. 1. Pressing the button of the drinking fountain multiple times will cause mechanical fatigue. The sensitivity is reduced. If the button of the water dispenser is a pressing handle, the pressing handle may break after being pressed several times; 2. It requires both hands to complete the water intake, one hand needs to hold the container, the other hand needs Press the water supply button; 3. The user needs to align the container with the water outlet, if it is to take hot water, in case the container mouth is not aligned with the water outlet, there is a chance of scalding the user's hand; and 4. Drinking water If the position of the dispenser is too high, or the water outlet button of the water dispenser is too high, it will be very difficult for children or people with limited mobility to get water, and there will be concerns about improper operation and burns.
