Detailed Description

The present invention will be further explained with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of a blocking member according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a water dispenser 100, which includes a body 10, a hot water nozzle 20, a hot water switch 30, and a blocking member 40. Wherein, the hot water nozzle 20 is arranged on the machine body 10. The hot water switch 30 is disposed on the machine body 10 and above the hot water nozzle 20, and can control whether hot water flows out from the hot water nozzle 20. A blocking member 40 is provided on the body 10 between the hot water tap 20 and the hot water switch 30, and guides steam generated by the hot water tap 20 flowing out of the hot water to bypass the hot water switch 30 during rising. The present embodiment changes the flow direction of the steam by the blocking member 40 disposed between the hot water nozzle 20 and the hot water switch 30, and particularly, guides the steam from the hot water nozzle 20 to the hot water switch 30 to bypass the hot water switch during the rising process, which can avoid or reduce the contact between the steam and the hand of the user operating the hot water switch, and reduce the discomfort caused by the contact between the steam and the hand of the user, and the risk of scalding the hand of the user.

In this embodiment, the water dispenser 100 further includes a water tank formed on the top of the machine body 10, a hot water tank disposed in the machine body 10 and connected to the water tank, an electric heating element disposed in the hot water tank, and an electromagnetic valve for connecting the hot water tank and the hot water nozzle 20 and being controlled by the hot water switch 30 to open and close. The electric heating element can be selected from a metal ceramic heating element, a microwave heating element or an electric heating tube, and the metal ceramic heating element is preferably selected in consideration of the advantages of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, long service life, high efficiency, energy conservation, uniform temperature, good heat conducting property, high thermal compensation speed and the like of the metal ceramic heating element. The water tank is used for supplying water to the hot water tank, and the water in the hot water tank is heated by the internal electric heating element to form hot water. After the user turns on the hot water switch 30, the solenoid valve is opened, and hot water can flow from the hot water tank to the hot water nozzle 20 through the solenoid valve and out of the hot water nozzle 20 for the user to receive.

In the present embodiment, the blocking member 40 may be selected in a block shape, a plate shape, or the like. Since the plate-shaped blocking member 40 can form an open space together with the body 10, part of the high-temperature steam can be retained and guided to flow out from both sides of the blocking member 40, and the steam can be further prevented or reduced from contacting the hand of the user operating the hot water switch. Since the plate-shaped dam member 40 is made of a small amount of material, is low in cost, and is easy to manufacture, a plate shape is selected as a preferable shape of the dam member 40 in the present embodiment. Preferably, the corners of the plate-shaped blocking member 40 are rounded, which may reduce the risk of a user being scratched during use.

In the present embodiment, the blocking member 40 is obliquely provided on the machine body 10, and in the height direction of the machine body 10, an acute angle α formed between the blocking member 40 and the height direction is lower than an obtuse angle formed between the blocking member 40 and the height direction (i.e., the up-down direction shown in fig. 1). The inclined plate-like blocking member 40 allows to reduce its occupancy of space while preserving the basic function, i.e. avoiding or reducing the contact of the steam with the hand of the user manipulating the hot water switch. It is verified through experiments that the space occupancy rate of the blocking member 40 is the lowest when the acute angle between the plate-shaped blocking member 40 and the body 10 is 30 ° -60 °, particularly 45 °.

In the present embodiment, the material of the blocking member 40 may be selected from metal, glass, wood, rigid plastic, etc., but polypropylene is preferably selected in the present embodiment in consideration of its advantages of low cost and corrosion resistance.

In this embodiment, a concave cup containing space is provided on the front of the machine body 10, the hot water nozzle 20 is provided on the top of the cup containing space, and the blocking member 40 is connected with or adjacent to (less than or equal to 2.5cm) the outer edge of the top of the cup containing space. The blocking member 40 is connected or adjacent to the top outer edge of the cup containing space, so that the steam generated by the hot water flowing out of the hot water nozzle 20 can be blocked, the steam and splashed high-temperature water drops generated after the hot water flows into the cup can be blocked, and the discomfort brought to the hands of the user and the risk of scalding the hands of the user due to the contact of the steam are further reduced.

In this embodiment, the exposed structure of the blocking member 40 outside the machine body 10 is preferably a rectangular plate with a length of 4-6cm and a width of 4-6cm, wherein the long side of the rectangle is perpendicular to the height direction of the machine body 10. Through a plurality of tests, the blocking member 40 with such a shape and size can further reduce the risk of discomfort to the user's hand and scalding the user's hand due to the steam contact.

In this embodiment, the blocking member 40 is detachably connected to the body 10 of the water dispenser. Therefore, when hot water is not used for a long time or cleaning is needed, a user can detach the blocking component 40 from the machine body 10 for cleaning, and the aesthetic property and the safety of the water dispenser during use are improved. The detachable connection is preferably a snap or plug connection with low cost and good stability.

To sum up, the utility model discloses water dispenser can reduce and bring uncomfortable sense for user's hand because of contacting this steam to and scald the risk of user's hand.
