Example one

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, a first embodiment of a drip-proof structure 10 is provided.

As shown in fig. 1, the drip-proof structure 10 includes: a liquid storage tank 11, a liquid inlet 12 connected with the liquid storage tank 11, and a liquid outlet 13 connected with the liquid storage tank 11. Wherein the liquid inlet 12 is used for guiding liquid into the liquid storage tank 11, and the liquid outlet 13 is used for guiding liquid to be discharged from the liquid storage tank 11. The liquid storage tank 11 serves to store liquid and to block the liquid remaining in the liquid storage tank 11.

The above-mentioned drip-proof structure 10 will be further described with reference to fig. 2 to 7.

As shown in fig. 2, 4, and 5, a reserve tank 1111 and a drain chamber 1112 which are laterally communicated with each other are provided inside the reserve tank 11. The interior of the liquid storage tank 11 is further provided with a barrier 1113, and the barrier 1113 is located at the junction of the liquid storage cavity 1111 and the liquid discharge cavity 1112. A gap is formed between the barrier 1113 and the bottom surface of the liquid storage cavity 1111, and as shown in FIG. 2, the height d of the gap is 3 mm-5 mm.

To facilitate subsequent cleaning and maintenance, as shown in fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the liquid storage tank 11 may include: a main body 111 and a cover 112 detachably attached to the main body 111. A reservoir chamber 1111 and a drain chamber 1112 are formed between the main body 111 and the cover 112. The stop 1113 is located on the body 111. The main body 111 and the cover 112 are detachably arranged, so that subsequent cleaning and maintenance are facilitated.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, the liquid storage tank 11 may further include: a sealing member 113 located at the junction of the body 111 and the cover 112. The sealing member 113 may improve sealability of the connection between the body 111 and the cover 112. In the present embodiment, the seal 113 is a seal ring having elasticity.

In addition, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 4 and fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the main body 111 is provided with a first receiving groove 1114. The cover 112 has a second receiving groove (not shown) corresponding to the first receiving groove 1114. The second receiving groove and the first receiving groove 1114 form a receiving cavity for placing the sealing member 113. The accommodating cavity formed by the first accommodating groove 1114 and the second accommodating groove can enable the sealing member 113 to be more stably fixed at a designated position, and the sealing member 113 is prevented from being displaced after being assembled to reduce the sealing performance.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, the loading port 12 is connected to the reservoir 1111. In this embodiment, the liquid inlet 12 is located at the side of the liquid storage chamber 1111. In addition, in the present embodiment, the loading port 12 is disposed laterally, and the external liquid can flow laterally into the liquid storage chamber 1111 from the loading port 12.

It should be noted that the liquid inlet 12 may be disposed at the side, bottom, or top of the liquid storage chamber 1111 according to the installation requirement, and is not limited to the side of the liquid storage chamber 1111.

As shown in fig. 2, 4, and 5, drain port 13 is connected to drain lumen 1112. In this embodiment, drain port 13 is located at the bottom of drain cavity 1112 and is positioned vertically downward. Drain port 13 at the bottom of drain chamber 1112 may more efficiently channel liquid out of drain chamber 1112, and a vertical downward position may reduce the likelihood of liquid remaining in drain port 13.

The working principle is briefly described as follows:

as shown in fig. 2, a barrier 1113 is disposed at the junction between the reservoir 1111 and the drain 1112, and a gap of 3mm to 5mm is formed between the barrier 1113 and the bottom surface of the reservoir 1111 (the diameter of a common water drop is 3mm to 5mm, and therefore, the height of the gap is also set to 3mm to 5mm, which can effectively utilize the tension of the liquid to perform a blocking function).

As shown in fig. 6, when the liquid is continuously supplied, the liquid in the reservoir 1111 is divided into two streams. One of the streams flows over the barrier 1113 and laterally to the drain chamber 1112. The other liquid overcomes the liquid tension at the gap under the action of the water pressure, and then flows transversely to liquid discharge cavity 1112 through the gap, and finally the two liquids are collected in liquid discharge cavity 1112 and discharged from liquid discharge port 13.

As shown in fig. 7, after the liquid stops being input, when the water pressure generated by the residual liquid in the liquid storage chamber 1111 is lower than the liquid tension at the gap, the liquid cannot flow from the liquid storage chamber 1111 to the liquid discharge chamber 1112, so that the liquid discharge port 13 stops discharging liquid quickly, and the problem of continuous liquid dripping after the liquid discharge operation is stopped is effectively alleviated.

In addition, as shown in fig. 1, the drip-proof structure 10 further includes: an air outlet 14 connected to the reservoir 11. As shown in FIG. 2, vent 14 is located at the top of drain chamber 1112 (in other embodiments, vent 14 may be located at the top of drain chamber 1112). When high temperature liquid (e.g., hot water of 80 ℃ or higher) is supplied into the tank 11, hot vapor is released from the liquid. Therefore, by providing the exhaust port 14, the hot steam can be exhausted by conduction, and the effect of gas-liquid separation can be achieved.

In addition, in other embodiments, the anti-dripping effect can be enhanced. For example, in some embodiments, the tank 11 may further comprise: and (6) blocking the net. The baffle net is positioned at the baffle 1113 or at the liquid outlet 13. For example, the mesh may be positioned on one side of barrier 1113, or the mesh may be positioned at the intersection of discharge port 13 and discharge chamber 1112. The blocking net not only can filter the liquid (for example, when the liquid contains residues, most of the residues can be deposited at the bottom of the liquid storage cavity 1111, so that the blocking net at the blocking strip 1113 or the liquid outlet 13 can block the residues), but also can enhance the blocking effect on the liquid, thereby improving the anti-dripping effect.

Above-mentioned drip proof structure 10 is through setting up stock solution chamber 1111 and flowing back chamber 1112 to set up blend 1113 between stock solution chamber 1111 and flowing back chamber 1112, make to form between the bottom surface of blend 1113 and stock solution chamber 1111 and to utilize liquid tension to realize stopping the clearance that liquid flows, effectively alleviate the problem that liquid after stopping out liquid operation lasts the drippage, promote user experience.
