Referring now to fig. 1 to 5, embodiments of a water tank assembly provided by the present invention will be described in detail. It is to be understood that the following description is only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a water tank assembly 100. The water tank assembly 100 may include a fresh water tank 102 and a balance water tank 104. Specifically, in the embodiment shown, the fresh water tank 102 and the balance water tank 104 may be in fluid communication via various pipes, and the balance water tank 104 is installed inside the fresh water tank 102.
In an alternative embodiment, the water tank assembly 100 provided by the present invention as described above can be applied to any of various water purifying apparatuses, such as a water purifier, a drinking fountain, or a water purifier; in other embodiments, the water tank assembly 100 is not limited to use in water purification apparatuses, but may be used in various suitable fields, which may be the case, and the present invention is not limited thereto. It should be understood that the above-mentioned water purifier, drinking fountain, water purifier, etc. are only exemplary embodiments of water purifying devices, and other various water purifying devices may also employ the water tank assembly 100 of the present invention.
Furthermore, clean water tank 102 and balance water tank 104 may be in fluid communication with each other via various conduits to provide fluid flow communication, such as liquid communication or gas communication, therebetween. The connection manner and the installation position of various pipes will be described below by way of embodiments.
In connection with the above-described embodiments, the present invention provides a tank assembly 100 configured to mount a balance tank 104 inside a fresh water tank 102, as compared to prior art mounting arrangements in which the balance tank is located outside the fresh water tank. At least part of the connecting lines between surge tank 104 and clean water tank 102 can be accommodated in clean water tank 102 by moving surge tank 104 from the outside of clean water tank 102 into the interior thereof. Thus, the arrangement mode can effectively avoid the problem of odor adsorption caused by the fact that the connecting pipeline is exposed out of the water purifying tank 102, and therefore a user can obtain better use experience in the use process.
Further, in an alternative embodiment, surge tank 104 may be removably mounted in fresh water tank 102. With this arrangement, quick mounting and dismounting of the balancing tank 104 in the clean-water tank 102 is possible. For example, in actual use, when the balance tank 104 and the fresh water tank 102 are used for a long time and need to be cleaned or repaired, the balance tank 104 can be quickly removed from the fresh water tank 102 for subsequent operations. For another example, when either of the balance tank 104 and the fresh water tank 102 is used for a long time and needs to be replaced, but the other does not need to be replaced, the replacement-needed one can be removed and replaced with a new component in the above-described manner, which can effectively reduce the use cost and the maintenance cost of the user.
With continued reference to fig. 1-5, in one embodiment of the invention, fresh water tank 102 may have a water supply inlet 106 and equilibrium water tank 104 may have a water inlet 108 and at least one drain. In particular, water supply port 106 may be in fluid communication with water inlet port 108 via line 107, such that water from fresh water tank 102 is provided through water supply port 106 into equilibrium water tank 104 via water inlet port 108. In this embodiment, the equalization tank 104 may have at least one drain opening therein. In one embodiment, if the water purifying apparatus employing the water tank assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is configured to provide only normal temperature water, the balance tank 104 may include only one drain port providing normal temperature water; in another embodiment, if the water purification apparatus is configured to provide only hot water, the balance tank 104 may include only one drain for providing hot water; in other embodiments, the balancing tank 104 may include two drain ports if the water purification apparatus is configured to provide both normal temperature water and hot water. It will of course be appreciated that in other embodiments more drain openings may be provided so that the drained water may be used to provide different water temperatures. The above description is only an alternative embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any particular limitation of the present invention.
As further shown in fig. 1-5, in one particular embodiment, clean water tank 102 may have a water outlet 110 and the at least one drain opening may include a first drain opening 112. Wherein the first drain port 112 may be in fluid communication with the outlet port 110 via a drain pipe 114 located in the fresh water tank 102. In addition, the water supply inlet 106 as described above may be provided at the bottom of the fresh water tank 102, and the water outlet 110 may be provided at the top of the fresh water tank 102.
In the above-described embodiment, the first drain port 112 provided in the balance tank 104 does not supply the normal-temperature water to any heating device, but directly supplies the water to the water outlet 110 of the fresh water tank 102. Thus, the water discharged from the water outlet 110 is unheated normal temperature water.
In addition, according to the above embodiment, since the balance tank 104 is located in the fresh water tank 102 and the drain pipe 114 connecting the first drain port 112 and the outlet 110 is also located in the fresh water tank 102, the drain pipe 114 does not contact with the outside environment, and the problem of odor adsorption caused by the drain pipe 114 being exposed to the outside of the fresh water tank 102 is effectively avoided.
On the other hand, as shown, in one embodiment, the at least one drain opening may further include a second drain opening 116 in fluid communication with an external heating device (not shown). In this case, the water at normal temperature in the balance tank 104 can be delivered to the external heating device through the second water outlet 116 through the pipeline 117 for heating, and then the hot water is sent out by the external heating device for the customer to drink. Therefore, the balance water tank 104 provided by the embodiment of the invention can meet the function of simultaneously providing normal-temperature water delivery and hot water delivery.
Further, as shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the water inlet 108, the first drain opening 112, and the second drain opening 116 may be disposed on a bottom surface of the balance tank 104, and a water supply pump (not shown) may be connected between the water supply opening 106 and the water inlet 108. That is, during actual use, the water supply pump pumps the normal temperature water in the fresh water tank 102 into the equilibrium water tank 104 through the water inlet 108, and then the normal temperature water is delivered outward through the first and second water discharge ports 112 and 116 by gravity for supplying the normal temperature water and the heated hot water.
In an alternative embodiment, the drain pipe 114 in the clean water tank 102 as described above may comprise a pipe made of a hard material. For example, the drain pipe 114 may be integrally constructed as a U-shaped pipe made of a hard material or other pipe of any other suitable shape; alternatively, the drain pipe 114 may be constructed as a hose at the joint of both ends, while the middle body portion is constructed as a hard material. In general, a soft material such as rubber is selected for the drain pipe, but the soft material absorbs odor and pollutes water when used for a long time. In the embodiment of the present invention, the drain pipe 114 is made of a hard material, so that the problem of odor adsorption can be effectively avoided. For example, any suitable material such as plastic, non-metal, etc. may be selected for use as the hard material, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited to any particular case.
With continued reference to fig. 1-5, in one embodiment of the present invention, the tank assembly 100 may further include a surge tank 118 disposed in the fresh water tank 102. For example, surge tank 118 may be separately located in fresh water tank 102 or may be interconnected with surge tank 104, as the case may be. In one embodiment of the present invention, the surge tank 118 may be integrally formed with the surge tank 104, thereby making both a tank module capable of being molded. In actual use, the tank module is installed in the fresh water tank 102, and the exhaust port of the heating device for producing hot water is connected to the intake port. Thus, the warmer water vapor generated by the heating device is directed into the buffer tank 118 and does not flow out of the outlet nozzle. Hereby it is achieved that water vapour can be used efficiently and not be discharged with the hot water causing scalding of the user.
In the embodiment shown, the fresh water tank 102 may have a first inlet 120 and the surge tank 118 may have a second inlet 122 and an overflow 124. Specifically, the second inlet port 122 may be in fluid communication with the first inlet port 120, and the overflow port 124 may be disposed at a top edge of the surge tank 118, and the overflow port 124 may be in fluid communication with the fresh water tank 102.
In actual use, the first inlet port 120 of the fresh water tank 102 may be communicated with a heating device for heating water at normal temperature. The water in the heating device produces steam during heating, which is delivered from the heating device to the first inlet port 120 of the clean water tank 102 and then into the buffer water tank 118 via the second inlet port 122. In the buffer water tank 118, the water vapor condenses into water upon condensation and accumulates in the buffer water tank 118. When the accumulated water is increased and reaches the position of the overflow port 124, the water flows back to the clean water tank 102 again, so that the operation of water production can be continued by the water vapor generated by heating, and the effect of effectively recovering the water vapor is achieved.
It should be understood here that the following generally occur during actual use: the user chooses to drink hot water, and the normal temperature water is heated in the heating device, and hotter water vapor is generated in the heating process. At this point, warmer water vapor may be introduced into the buffer tank 118; in other cases, the user selects to keep warm in the heating device after heating, but not after tapping hot water. The warm keeping process also generates hot water vapor, and the generated water vapor is also introduced into the buffer water tank 118. That is, no matter what kind of above occurs or other situations not described, it is only necessary to make the water vapor generated in the heating device be recovered into the buffer water tank 118, and not to scald the user with the hot water flowing out. In one embodiment, the heating device employed in the present invention may be a hot tank heated by resistance wires; the present invention is not so limited.
In an alternative embodiment, the bottom surface of the surge tank 118 may be positioned no lower than the plane of the top of the surge tank 104. That is, a height position difference is formed between the buffer water tank 118 and the balance water tank 104 in the height direction of the water tank assembly 100, and the buffer water tank 118 is positioned higher than the balance water tank 104. Since the balance tank 104 contains normal temperature water, the buffer tank 118 contains water vapor, and the temperature of the water vapor is relatively high, a temperature runaway condition between the balance tank 104 and the buffer tank 118 may occur. That is, the buffer tank 118 may affect the temperature of the normal temperature water in the balance tank 104. Therefore, by setting the position of the buffer water tank 118 higher than the position of the balancing water tank 104, the temperature runaway phenomenon as described above can be effectively prevented from occurring, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the normal-temperature water in the balancing water tank 104 is substantially stabilized.
With continued reference to fig. 1-5, in one embodiment of the invention, the first inlet port 120 may be located at the top of the fresh water tank 102, the second inlet port 122 may be located at the bottom of the surge tank 118, and the first inlet port 120 and the second inlet port 122 may be in fluid communication via an exhaust pipe 126 located in the fresh water tank 102. Similarly to the embodiment described above with respect to the drain pipe 114, since the exhaust pipe 126 is also provided in the fresh water tank 102, the problem of odor adsorption caused by the exhaust pipe 126 being exposed to the outside of the fresh water tank 102 can also be effectively avoided.
Further similar to the drain pipe 114, in an alternative embodiment, the exhaust pipe 126 may also comprise tubing made of a hard material. For example, the exhaust pipe 126 may be integrally constructed as a U-shaped pipe made of a hard material or a pipe member of any other suitable shape; alternatively, the exhaust pipe 126 may be constructed as a hose at the joint at both ends, while the middle body portion is constructed as a hard material. In general, a soft material such as rubber is also used for the exhaust pipe, but the soft material can adsorb odor and pollute water after long-term use. In the present invention, the exhaust pipe 126 is made of hard material, so that the problem of odor adsorption can be effectively avoided. For example, any suitable material such as plastic, non-metal, etc. may be used for the hard material, and the invention is not limited to any particular case.
As further shown, in one embodiment, an air outlet 128 may also be provided in clean water tank 102. Specifically, an air outlet 128 may be provided at the top of the fresh water tank 102 and in communication with the surge tank 118. With this configuration, a part of the steam introduced into the buffer tank 118 is cooled into water, and the water is stored in the buffer tank 118 and then discharged into the fresh water tank 102 through the overflow port 124; while another portion of the water vapor may be directly discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 128. In addition, since the steam generated by heating is introduced into the buffer tank 118 instead of being discharged with the hot water, the user is not burned by the hot water steam that may be entrained in the hot water when receiving the water.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the top of the surge tank 118 may be configured as an open top opening, and a sealing structure may be provided between the top opening of the surge tank 118 and the fresh water tank 102. Similarly, the top of the balance tank 104 may be configured as an open top opening, and a sealing structure may be provided between the top opening of the balance tank 104 and the fresh water tank 102. By providing the sealing structure, separate spaces can be formed between the surge tank 118 and the surge tank 104 and the fresh water tank 102. In addition, the buffer water tank 118 and the balance water tank 104 can be separated from each other in the above manner, and the temperature jump prevention effect can be further improved. In alternative embodiments, the sealing structure may be any suitable structure, such as a sealing ring, a sealant, etc., and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, according to one embodiment of the present invention, fresh water tank 102 may include an upper tank body 130 and a lower tank body 132 detachably connected to each other. The detachable connection between the upper case 130 and the lower case 132 may facilitate the removal, replacement, and cleaning of internal components. In addition, the detachable connection can avoid using a conventional welding mode, and the welding mode can cause peculiar smell to the water tank assembly. Therefore, the installation mode can effectively avoid the generation of peculiar smell. In alternative embodiments, the detachable connection between the upper and lower housings 130, 132 may be accomplished by any suitable means, such as bolts, rivets, snap-fit fittings, and the like, and the invention is not limited to any particular means.
Still further optionally, a seal 134 may be installed between the upper case 130 and the lower case 132. The tight fit between the upper case 130 and the lower case 132 can be achieved by the seal 134 and the water inside is prevented from overflowing. In the embodiment shown, the seal 134 may include a sealing ring between the upper and lower housings 130, 132, as well as other sealing gaskets associated with the fasteners used to join the upper and lower housings 130, 132.
In an alternative embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, part of the outside wall of the balance tank 104 may be configured to match the shape of the inside wall of the fresh water tank 102. In this way, the equalization tank 104 can be kept as small as possible of the fresh water tank 102, so that an optimum use of space between the two is achieved.
In another aspect, the present invention also provides a water purifying apparatus, which may include the water tank assembly 100 as described above. In one embodiment, the water purification apparatus may be a water purifier, a drinking fountain, or a water purifier; it should be understood, of course, that the various devices described above are also merely exemplary embodiments of a water purification apparatus, and that various other water purification apparatuses may also employ the water tank assembly 100 of the present invention. It should be further understood that the water purifying apparatus also has various advantages and advantages as described above since the water tank assembly 100 as described in the above embodiments is used in the water purifying apparatus.
Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only intended to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some technical features may be equivalently replaced; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
