The water tank 1 is provided with a vent 11 and a water outlet 12 which are communicated with the outside atmosphere, the vent 11 can realize the communication between the water tank 1 and the outside atmosphere, and water in the water tank 1 can be drained from the water outlet 12. Clever seat 2 is established at the top of water tank 1, and both ends all open installation cavity about injecing in the clever seat 2, and cask 10 can set up on clever seat 2. Smart column subassembly 3 is established in the installation cavity, and the lower extreme of smart column subassembly 3 prevents to leak water gas leakage with the sealed cooperation of the interior perisporium of installation cavity. The smart column assembly 3 comprises a smart column 31, and a water through hole 311 and a vent hole 312 which are communicated with the inner cavity of the smart column 31 are formed on the peripheral wall of the smart column 31.

As shown in fig. 3, 4 and 6 (wherein the dotted arrows indicate the flow direction of water, and the solid arrows indicate the flow direction of air), the exhaust column assembly 4 is disposed in the inner cavity of the smart column 31 to be movable up and down between a first position and a second position, the exhaust column assembly 4 includes an exhaust column 41, an inlet passage 411 communicating with the water through hole 311 is defined between the exhaust column 41 and the smart column 31, and the inlet passage 411 is adapted to communicate with the inner cavity of the water tank 1. When the water inlet passage 411 is opened, the water in the water tub 10 enters the water inlet passage through the water passage hole 311, and then enters the water tank 1. The exhaust column 41 defines therein an air intake passage 412 adapted to communicate with the air vent 312, and the air intake passage 412 is adapted to communicate with an inner cavity of the water tank 1 such that the water tub 10 can communicate with the external atmosphere. When the air intake passage 412 is turned on, air in the water tank 1 enters the air intake passage 412 and then enters the water tub 10 from the air vent hole 311.

The floating ball assembly 5 is arranged in the water tank 1, the floating ball assembly 5 floats on the water surface in the water tank 1, the floating ball assembly 5 is connected with the exhaust column assembly 4 to drive the exhaust column assembly 4 to move up and down, and therefore the exhaust column assembly 4 can be controlled to move up and down between the first position and the second position.

When the exhaust column assembly 4 is at the first position, the air inlet passage 412 is cut off and the water inlet passage 411 is cut off, the drinking device 100 is in a sealed state, air in the water tank 1 cannot enter the water tank 10 through the air inlet passage 412, and water in the water tank 10 cannot enter the water tank 1 through the water inlet passage 411.

At this time, the floating ball assembly 5 controls the exhaust column assembly 4 to be in the second position, the air inlet passage 412 is communicated, and the water inlet passage 411 is communicated. Water in the soft water bucket enters the water tank 1 from the water inlet channel 411, the water in the soft water bucket is reduced, the soft water bucket collapses, the negative pressure in the soft water bucket can be reduced, the water in the soft water bucket enters the water tank 1 from the water inlet channel 411 under the action of gravity, a small amount of water can enter the water tank 1 from the air inlet channel 412, air in the water tank 1 is discharged into the outside from the air vent 11, and continuous and stable water inlet of the water tank 1 of the water drinking device 100 is realized.

Referring to fig. 2-6, the amount of water in the soft water bucket continues to decrease until the amount of water in the soft water bucket is less than a threshold value (e.g., the amount of water in the soft water bucket is less than 1/3). At this time, if the drinking device 100 is in the water inlet state, the soft water tank cannot continue to collapse, the negative pressure in the soft water tank rises, and water in the soft water tank cannot enter the water tank 1 only by gravity. At this time, air in the water tank 1 can enter the soft water barrel from the air inlet passage 412 to supplement air to the soft water barrel, so as to reduce the negative pressure in the soft water barrel, and the water in the soft water barrel can continue to enter the water tank 1 from the water inlet passage 411 until the water in the soft water barrel is completely discharged. When the water level in the water tank 1 rises to a higher level, the floating ball assembly 5 controls the exhaust column assembly 4 to move from the second position to the first position, and the water dispenser 100 is switched from the water inlet state to the sealing state.

Referring to fig. 7-10, when the drinking device 100 is in the sealed state, the water level in the water tank 1 is higher, the floating ball assembly 5 is at the higher position, the floating ball assembly 5 controls the exhaust column assembly 4 to be at the first position, the air inlet passage 412 is cut off and the water inlet passage 411 is cut off, the water in the soft water bucket cannot enter the water tank 1, and the air in the water tank 1 cannot enter the soft water bucket. When the water in the water tank 1 is discharged from the water outlet 12, the water level in the water tank 1 drops, the floating ball assembly 5 drops along with the water level, at the moment, the floating ball assembly 5 controls the exhaust column assembly 4 to move from the first position to the second position, the water dispenser 100 is switched from a sealing state to a water inlet state, and the water in the soft water bucket can flow into the water tank 1.
