Referring to fig. 1-2, in an embodiment of the present invention, a water dispenser 100 is provided. The water dispenser 100 includes a water dispenser main body 10 and a water tank 30, the water tank 30 is used to contain drinking water, and the water dispenser main body 10 is used to heat drinking water, and also used to discharge normal temperature water and heat water. Specifically, the water dispenser body 10 has a water tank mounting position 11, and the water tank 30 is detachably mounted on the water tank mounting position 11, so that the water tank 30 can be conveniently taken and placed for water adding.

In some embodiments, the water dispenser 100 further comprises a detection component 50, and the detection component 50 is configured to generate a water shortage signal when the water tank installation position 11 is empty or the water level in the water tank 30 at the water tank installation position 11 is lower than a preset water level. So, when the water level in the water tank 30 is lower than the preset water level or the water tank 30 is not installed on the water tank installation position 11, the detection component 50 can be triggered and generates a water shortage signal, the water dispenser main body 10 can find the conditions of water shortage in the water tank 30 and water tank 30 non-installation in time according to the water shortage signal, can adopt the working mode in the water shortage state in time, can not dry-fire under the condition of water shortage, and prevents the heating element from being damaged.

The detecting assembly 50 includes a detecting member 52 and a fitting member 54, the fitting member 54 is disposed in the water tank 30, the fitting member 54 floats as the liquid level in the water tank 30 rises, that is, the fitting member 54 floats when the liquid level in the water tank 30 rises, and the fitting member 54 floats when the liquid level in the water tank 30 falls. The detecting member 52 is provided on the water dispenser body 10 for the induction fitting member 54. When the water tank installation position 11 is empty or the water level in the water tank 30 at the water tank installation position 11 is lower than the preset water level, the detecting element 52 cannot sense the matching element 54 and generates a water shortage signal. Therefore, when the water level in the water tank 30 is lower than the preset water level or the water tank 30 is not installed on the water tank installation position 11, the detection piece 52 cannot sense the fitting piece 54 and form a water shortage signal, the water dispenser main body 10 can find the conditions of water shortage in the water tank 30 and water tank 30 non-installation in time according to the water shortage signal, dry burning under the condition of water shortage can be avoided, and the heating element can be prevented from being damaged.

Further, when the water level in the water tank 30 at the water tank installation position 11 is greater than or equal to the preset water level, the detecting element 52 senses the matching element 54 and forms a water signal. Therefore, when the water tank 30 is installed on the water tank installation position 11 and the water level in the water tank 30 is greater than or equal to the preset water level, it indicates that the water introduced into the water tank 30 is sufficient, the detection piece 52 can sense the fitting piece 54 and form a water signal, and the water dispenser main body 10 can normally work according to the water signal.

Specifically, the detecting member 52 senses the engaging member 54 according to a predetermined sensing range. When the water level in the water tank 30 on the water tank installation position 11 is greater than or equal to the preset water level, the matching piece 54 is located in the preset sensing range, and the detecting piece 52 sends a water signal; when the water tank 30 is not installed on the water tank installation site 11, or the water level in the water tank 30 on the water tank installation site 11 is lower than the preset water level, the fitting member 54 is located outside the preset sensing range, and the detecting member 52 sends out a water shortage signal. Thus, when the mating member 54 floats with the rise and fall of the liquid level in the water tank 30, if the mating member floats out of the preset sensing range of the detecting member 52, a water shortage signal is generated, and the water dispenser body 10 can perform a control mode in a water shortage state according to the water shortage signal, so as to prevent the heating element from being damaged due to dry burning of the water dispenser 100.

Alternatively, the sensing element 52 is a reed switch and the mating element 54 is a float, the reed switch being capable of sensing the float. When the floater is positioned in the preset induction range of the reed switch, the reed switch sends out a water signal; when the floater is positioned outside the preset induction range of the dry reed scraper, the dry reed pipe sends out a water shortage signal.

In some embodiments, the water dispenser body 10 includes a controller, the controller is in communication connection with the detection element 52, and the controller controls the water dispenser 100 to operate after receiving a water signal, so as to heat the drinking water; after the controller receives the water shortage signal, the controller controls the water dispenser 100 to pause, so that the water dispenser 100 is prevented from being burnt dry, and the heating element is prevented from being damaged.

Further, the water dispenser main body 10 further comprises an alarm, the alarm is in communication connection with the controller, and the controller further controls the alarm to be turned on after receiving the water shortage signal so as to remind a user that the water tank 30 of the water dispenser 100 is in a water shortage state or the water tank 30 is not placed in place.

In some embodiments, the accommodating cavity 31 and the float groove 33 communicated with the accommodating cavity 31 are formed inside the water tank 30, the fitting piece 54 is arranged in the float groove 33, when the liquid level in the water tank 30 exceeds a preset water level, the liquid level in the float groove 33 is higher, and the position of the fitting piece 54 is higher and is positioned in a preset detection range of the detection piece 52; when the liquid level in the water tank 30 is lower than the preset level, the liquid level in the float groove 33 is lowered, and the fitting member 54 is positioned lower than the preset detection range of the detecting member 52. Thus, by providing the float groove 33 in the water tank 30 to receive the fitting member 54, the fitting member 54 does not float freely in the water tank 30, and the normal function of the water tank 30 is not affected.

Further, the water tank 30 includes a tank body 35 and a limiting component 37, the accommodating cavity 31 is formed inside the tank body 35, the limiting component 37 is arranged on the bottom wall of the tank body 35 and located in the accommodating cavity 31, and the limiting component 37 is defined inside to form the float groove 33. Set up spacing subassembly 37 in box 35 inside and delimit and form float groove 33 to spacing subassembly 37 is located on the diapire of box 35, and spacing subassembly 37 is located the water tank 30 bottom, and fitting piece 54 in spacing subassembly 37 can descend to below the predetermined water level along with the reduction of water level, can in time trigger detection piece 52 when lack of water.

Specifically, the limiting assembly 37 includes a limiting side wall 371 and a cover body 373, the limiting side wall 371 is disposed on the bottom wall of the box body 35, a float groove 33 having an opening is defined between the limiting side wall 371 and the bottom wall of the box body 35, and the opening allows the fitting member 54 to enter so as to fit the fitting member 54 into the float groove 33 through the opening. Wherein, be formed with the through-hole of intercommunication float groove 33 and holding chamber 31 on the spacing lateral wall 371, liquid in the holding chamber 31 can conveniently get into float groove 33, and the liquid level in the float groove 33 can reflect the liquid level in the holding chamber 31, for example when the liquid level in the holding chamber 31 is less than predetermineeing the liquid level, the liquid level in the float groove 33 also is less than predetermineeing the liquid level in step, and fitting piece 54 surpasss the response scope. In addition, the cover body 373 is fitted on the restricting side wall 371 and covers the opening to close the opening by the cover body 373 to block the fitting member 54, preventing the fitting member 54 from floating out of the restricting member 37. Thus, after the liquid level in the accommodating cavity 31 rises to the opening exceeding the limiting side wall 371, the fitting piece 54 in the limiting component 37 is blocked by the cover body 373, and cannot float upwards continuously, so that the fitting piece 54 is prevented from floating upwards to the top of the water tank 30 to influence the normal use of the water tank 30.
