In addition, in comparison with fig. 6, the drinking water instantaneous heater 13 in fig. 7 has an inlet at a lower portion thereof and an outlet at an upper portion thereof. The shell structure of the water dispenser is changed from a top-bottom integrated type to a left-right integrated type. Here, the vertically integrated type mainly means that the whole of the housing structure of the water dispenser shown in fig. 1 is a cuboid, the water tub is disposed on the upper portion of the housing structure, while the horizontally integrated type is shown in fig. 7, the water dispenser housing structure is integrally composed of a left housing L11 and a right housing R11 which are internally communicated, wherein the water tub placing opening 111 is disposed on the upper portion of the left housing L11, the drinking water outlet 112 is disposed on the right housing R11, and the drinking water outlet 112 is higher than the water tub placing opening 111.

Here, the water pump 23 is disposed between the flow rate monitoring sensor 22 and the drinking water instant heater 13, a drinking water containing box 21 is disposed below the water tub placing port 111, the drinking water containing box 21 is connected with the first output water pipe S13, and a drinking water monitoring sensor 211 is disposed in the drinking water containing box 21, the drinking water monitoring sensor 211 is electrically connected with the control circuit board 14 through a first wire D11; the first output water pipe S13 is connected to the inlet of the flow monitoring sensor 22, the flow monitoring sensor 22 is electrically connected with the control circuit board 14 through a second lead D12, and the outlet of the flow monitoring sensor 22 is connected with the second output water pipe S14; the second output water pipe S14 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 23, the outlet of the water pump 23 is connected with the heater water inlet pipe S11, the control terminal of the water pump 23 is connected with the power supply control module 12 and is controlled by the control circuit board 14; the water inlet pipe S14 of the heater is connected to the inlet of the instant drinking water heater 13, and the outlet of the instant drinking water heater 13 is connected to the drinking water outlet 112 through the water outlet pipe S12 of the heater.

On the basis of fig. 3, how the power control module 12 and the control circuit board 14 interact to control the outlet water flow of the water pump 23 is further described below with reference to fig. 8. In fig. 8, the power control module 12 is externally connected to two

ac terminals

12A and 12B of ac power, converts the input ac power into dc power through the rectifier transformer 1201, and supplies the dc power to the control circuit board 14 through the dc power line D0. In addition, the rectification transformation circuit 1201 also outputs another branch direct current to the input end of the thyristor 1203. Here, the dc power line D0 is connected to the power supply and control interface 1406 of the control circuit board 14 to supply power to the entire control circuit board 14, and the processor 1401 on the control circuit board 14 outputs a power control signal to the water pump 23, the power control signal is connected to the control terminal of the thyristor 1203 on the power control module 12 through the power control line D05 via the motor output power control terminal of the power supply and control interface 1406, and the output terminal of the thyristor 1203 is electrically connected to the control terminal of the water pump 23 through the power output line D06.

Further, for the water pump 23, the output power of the water pump 23 is determined by a signal of a control end of the water pump 23, and the signal of the control end of the water pump 23 is a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal, and the output power can be adjusted by adjusting a duty ratio of the signal, and generally, the output power is higher as the duty ratio is larger. Therefore, when the power control signal from the power control line D05 is applied to the control end of the thyristor 1203, the thyristor 1203 can be turned on or off, so that a direct current output by the rectifying and transforming circuit 1201 is applied to the control end of the water pump 23 through the thyristor 1203 in the form of a PWM signal, and the duty ratio of the PWM signal is controlled by the power control signal from the processor 1401 on the control circuit board 14, so that the duty ratio of the PWM signal input to the control end of the water pump 23 can be controlled by changing the duty ratio of the power control signal output by the processor 1401, and the adjustment control of the output power of the water pump 23 can be realized.

Further, according to the above, when the heating output power of the instantaneous drinking water heater 13 is the same, the water flow rate entering the instantaneous drinking water heater 13 can be changed by controlling the power of the water pump 23, so as to control the outflow of drinking water with different water temperatures. This is because, when the heating power of the instantaneous drinking water heater 13 is the same, the water temperature is lower as the water flow rate is larger, and the water temperature is higher as the water flow rate is smaller, thereby controlling the temperature of the discharged water by the water flow rate. The instant drinking water heater 13 also comprises a temperature sensor which comprises a thermistor and is arranged at the same horizontal position with the outlet, and because the distance between the outlet and the water delivery port 112 of the water dispenser is close, the heat loss is less in the water delivery process, and the water temperature is more accurately measured.

Preferably, before the drinking water instant heater 13 starts heating, the drinking water is firstly injected into the heating cavity of the drinking water instant heater 13 through the water pump 23, the duration is usually less than one second, and then the heating is started, thereby ensuring that the heating cavity is not burnt.

The heating process of the drinking water instant heater 13 is also controlled by the power control module 12 and the control circuit board 14. When the control circuit board 14 detects that the water amount in the water bucket 10 is insufficient, a heater power-off signal is sent to the power control module 12, the heating function is turned off, and the water shortage protection effect is realized; when the control circuit board 14 detects that the temperature of the heating chamber is too high, a heater power-off signal is sent to the power control module 12.

Under the condition that the temperature of the instant drinking water heater can be monitored, the water outlet temperature can be controlled more accurately by using the water pump. When a user uses the water dispenser to receive water, the processor in the control circuit board controls the effective working time of the water pump 23 in unit time in a pulse width modulation mode, and further adjusts the water inlet flow rate of the instant drinking water heater 13. The specific control mode is that the flow information and the temperature information acquired by the current flow monitoring interface and the temperature monitoring interface are read, the matching calculation is carried out according to the heating power of the drinking water instant heater, and the output power of the water pump is controlled, so that the outlet water temperature can be accurately controlled.

Under the condition that the power of the instant drinking water heater 13 is limited and constant, when a user needs drinking water at 98 ℃, the output power of the water pump 23 can be reduced, so that the water inlet speed is reduced, the water flow speed in the instant drinking water heater 13 is slowed down, enough heating time is obtained, and the temperature requirement of the user is finally met; similarly, when the user needs 45 ℃ drinking water, the water temperature is lower, the output power of the water pump 23 can be increased, the heating time in the drinking water instant heater 13 is reduced, and the temperature requirement of the user is finally met.

Through the setting, the user can be through setting up out water temperature and water yield to obtain the drinking water of ration, level temperature, and compare in other embodiments, through the direct water supply of water pump, make the flow in the water route accurate controllable, corresponding heating process is also more stable thereupon.
