As shown in fig. 1 to 16, a drinking device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body, a water storage tank 110 and a water outlet pipe 120. Wherein, the water storage tank 110 is installed on the machine body. A maximum water level is provided in the water storage tank 110. When the drinking device 100 is in a usable state, the depth direction of the water storage tank 110 is a first direction a-a. It is understood that the depth direction of the water storage tank 110 refers to the vertical direction of the water storage tank 110 after the water drinking device 100 is installed in use, as shown in fig. 3. The first end of the water outlet pipe 120 is connected to the water storage tank 110, and the second end is provided with a water outlet 121b. It is understood that the first end of the water outlet line 120 is provided with a water inlet 121a. The water outlet pipe 120 has a water outlet channel 121. The outlet channel 121 has at least one non-return position 121c. In the first direction a-a, with the bottom wall of the water storage tank 110 as a reference, the height H1 of the non-return position 121c is greater than the height H0 of the highest water level of the water storage tank 110, and the non-return position is communicated with the area of the water storage tank higher than the highest water level.

It should be noted that fig. 7 illustrates a check position 121c on the outlet channel 121. The water outlet channel 121 is located between the non-return position 121c and the highest water level of the water storage tank 110. It will be appreciated that in a possible embodiment, the outlet passage may also have a non-return position, and that the height of the non-return position, in the first direction, relative to the bottom wall of the tank, is equal to the height of the highest level of the tank.

In the drinking device 100, the water outlet channel 121 of the water outlet pipeline 120 has the non-return position 121c, the non-return position 121c is communicated with the region of the water storage tank 110 higher than the highest water level, so that the air pressure of the non-return position 121c is the same as the air pressure in the water storage tank 110, and the water level in the water outlet pipeline 120 is consistent with the water level in the water storage tank 110, i.e. the water level in the water outlet channel 121 is equal to or lower than the highest water level in the water storage tank 110, thereby preventing the water flow from flowing to the position of the water outlet 121b through the non-return position 121c. So as to effectively prevent the water outlet 121b of the water outlet pipeline 120 from dripping. In other words, even if the check valve is damaged, the water dropping phenomenon at the water outlet 121b caused by the outflow of the water in the water storage tank 110 can be prevented.

It will be appreciated that, in general, the water storage tank 110 is in communication with the external ambient air pressure, so that the air pressure within the water storage tank 110 is equal to the external ambient air pressure. Therefore, when the drinking device 100 is not in operation, even if there is no check valve between the check position 121c and the water inlet 121a, the water level in the water storage tank 110 is kept at the same level as the water level in the water outlet channel 121, and the water flow will not flow to the position of the water outlet 121b through the check position 121c.

Of course, it will be appreciated that when the hydration apparatus 100 is in operation, a flow of water may pass through the non-return position 121c to the water outlet 121b under the influence of the diaphragm pump.

In this embodiment, the water outlet pipeline 120 is provided with a non-return mechanism 123 fixed with the water storage tank 110, the non-return mechanism 123 has a non-return channel 123a, and the non-return channel 123a has a non-return position 121c; the check passage 123a has a check water inlet 123b and a check water outlet 123c.

In this embodiment, the check mechanism 123 is directly fixed to the water storage tank 110. It will be appreciated that in alternative embodiments, the check mechanism 123 and the water storage tank 110 may be indirectly fixed by other structures.

In this embodiment, the check passage 123a is not entirely provided with the check position 121c. It should be noted that in another possible embodiment, the check passage 123a may be provided such that each position thereof is a check position 121c.

It should be noted that the non-return mechanism 123 can be added to the conventional drinking device to solve the problem that water is easily dropped from the water outlet of the conventional drinking device, so that the conventional drinking device can be better utilized, and the waste of the existing device can be avoided.

Of course, it can be understood that the way of providing the non-return mechanism on the conventional drinking device also needs to change some structures on the original drinking device properly, such as: the side wall or the top wall of the water storage tank is provided with a structure such as a via hole, so that the non-return mechanism is fixedly connected with the water storage tank; the water outlet pipeline is adjusted to enable the non-return mechanism to be arranged in the water outlet pipeline, and further enable the non-return channel to be connected into the water outlet channel.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the water outlet pipe 120 includes a cold water pipe 120a, a heating pipe 120b, and a hot water pipe 120c, which are sequentially disposed. The check mechanism 123 is disposed on the hot water pipe 120c.

It is understood that, in other possible embodiments, the check mechanism 123 is not limited to be disposed on the hot water pipe 120c, and may be disposed on the cold water pipe 120 a.

Referring to fig. 3, 5-11, in the present embodiment, the check mechanism 123 has a steam discharge chamber 123d and a steam discharge passage 123e communicating the check passage 123a and the steam discharge chamber 123 d; the exhaust chamber 123d communicates with the external ambient air pressure. It will be appreciated that the exhaust passage 123e serves to exhaust the steam flow in the check passage 123a into the exhaust chamber 123d and allows the steam flow to flow between the exhaust chamber 123d and the check passage 123 a. Thus, on the one hand, the water flow in the check passage 123a is prevented from flowing into the steam exhaust chamber 123 d; on the other hand, the moisture in the steam exhaust chamber 123d can be uniformly exhausted. On the other hand, once water-vapor separation can be realized in the check mechanism 123, so that the water flow flowing out of the check water outlet 123c is more stable and smooth.

Of course, in other possible embodiments, the check passage may be in direct communication with the outside ambient air pressure.

In this embodiment, the check mechanism 123 includes a check body 123m and a check cover 123n. Check body 123m and check cover 123n interface to form a check passage 123a and a steam exhaust cavity 123d. The non-return water inlet 123b and the non-return water outlet 123c are both located on the non-return main body 123m, and the water flow blocking member 123h and the flow guiding structure 123j are both located on the non-return cover body 123n. Of course, it can be understood that, in another possible embodiment, the check structure is not limited to be formed by combining the check main body and the check cover body, and specifically, the structure required for forming the aforementioned check structure after the butt joint is performed is only needed, and the description is omitted here.

In this embodiment, the drinking device 100 further includes a water vapor separation mechanism 124 disposed at the end of the water outlet pipeline 120. The moisture separation mechanism 124 has a steam discharge port 124a. The exhaust chamber 123d has an exhaust inlet 123f. The steam outlet 124a and the steam outlet inlet 123f are in butt joint with the steam outlet cavity 123d. Thus, the steam discharged from the steam separation mechanism 124 flows out through the steam discharge chamber 123d. In addition, in this embodiment, the water outlet 121b is also disposed on the water vapor separation mechanism 124.

In this embodiment, two water-vapor separations are realized through non-return mechanism 123 and water-vapor separation mechanism 124 to make the rivers that flow from delivery port 121b more steady and smooth, avoid the phenomenon that rivers splash.

In the present embodiment, the steam discharge chamber 123d is isolated from the check passage 123a by the isolation wall 123 g. A water flow blocking member 123h is disposed in the check passage 123a and spaced apart from the partition wall 123g, and a projection of the water flow blocking member 123h on the surface of the partition wall 123g completely covers the steam exhaust passage 123e to prevent the water flow in the check passage 123a from flowing into the steam exhaust cavity 123d through the steam exhaust passage 123 e. Therefore, the water flow in the check passage 123a flows out through the check water outlet 123c, and the air flow sequentially passes through the interval between the water flow blocking member 123h and the partition wall 123g, the steam exhaust passage 123e and the steam exhaust cavity 123d to flow out, so that the water-steam separation is better realized.

In the present embodiment, the partition wall 123g has a plate shape. Of course, in other possible embodiments, the partition wall 123g is not limited to being plate-shaped, but may be any other regular or irregular shape.

In this embodiment, the partition wall is integrally formed with at least a part of the side wall of the check passage 123a and also integrally formed with at least a part of the side wall of the steam discharge chamber 123d, so that the check passage 123a and the steam discharge chamber 123d can be better separated.

Similarly, in this embodiment, the water blocking member 123h is also plate-shaped. In other possible embodiments, the water flow stop is not limited to being plate-shaped, but may be any other regular or irregular shape.

The surface of the water flow blocking member 123h away from the steam exhaust channel 123e is a blocking surface 123i, and a flow guide structure 123j is arranged on the blocking surface 123 i. The flow guiding structure 123j is used to guide the water to flow toward the non-return water outlet 123c. So that the water flowing into the check passage 123a can flow out of the check water outlet 123c more smoothly.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the flow guiding structure 123j is disposed opposite to the check water outlet 123c. The diversion structure 123j includes a plurality of diversion ribs disposed on the baffle surface 123i of the water flow baffle 123h at intervals. Therefore, the water flow which flows to the water flow blocked by the flow guide structure 123j is turned to the direction of the backward non-return water outlet 123c in advance and flows; while the water flow which is not blocked by the flow guiding structure 123j flows towards the non-return water outlet 123c under the action of self inertia and gravity or flows towards the non-return water outlet 123c after being blocked by the water flow blocking piece 123h in the continuous flowing process. Thus, the water flow in the check passage 123a can be more uniformly discharged from the check water outlet 123c.

It will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the position and shape of the flow directing structure are not limited thereto, and the flow directing structure may be configured to direct water flow in a direction towards the non-return water outlet.

In this embodiment, the diversion structure 123j and the water flow blocking member 123h are integrally formed. It is understood that in other possible embodiments, the diversion structure 123j and the water flow blocking member 123h may be formed separately and then fixedly connected by a threaded connection or the like.

More specifically, in this embodiment, the flow guiding structure 123j has a flow guiding surface 123k, and the flow guiding surface 123k is a plane. It should be noted that in other possible embodiments, the flow guiding surface is not limited to a plane, and may also be in any other regular or irregular shape. For example, the diversion surface has a plurality of diversion grooves along the diversion direction to better guide the water flow to flow along the diversion direction.

In this embodiment, on the surface perpendicular to the first direction a-a, the projections of the partition wall 123g and the water flow stopper 123h are both located on the side of the projection of the non-return water outlet 123c away from the projection of the non-return water inlet 123 b. Thus, the water flow flowing into the check passage 123a from the check water inlet 123b first flows through the check water outlet 123c, and also the water flow is prevented from flowing into the steam discharge chamber 123d. Of course, it will be understood that the arrangement of the partition wall and the water deflector is not limited thereto in other possible embodiments. Correspondingly, the distribution of the check channels and the steam discharge cavity can be adjusted correspondingly. Such as: the isolation wall surrounds the exhaust cavity, and the corresponding check channel is arranged around the exhaust cavity; or the separation wall is arranged around the check channel, and the corresponding steam exhaust cavity is arranged around the check channel.

The check water outlet 123c is provided on the bottom wall of the check passage 123a, and the bottom wall of the check passage 123a is inclined toward the check water outlet 123c. Therefore, the water flow entering the non-return channel 123a from the non-return water inlet 123b can flow out from the non-return water outlet 123c more smoothly under the action of gravity, and the water is prevented from being reserved in the non-return channel 123 a. Therefore, after the drinking device 100 is stopped, the residual water does not flow out of the non-return water outlet 123c, and the water outlet 121b of the water outlet channel 121 is prevented from dripping.

Of course, it should be noted that the above-mentioned "the bottom wall of the check passage 123a is inclined toward the check water outlet 123 c" means that the bottom wall of the check passage 123a is inclined substantially toward the check water outlet 123c, that is, there may be a case where the position is not inclined locally, such as the region around the top end of the check water inlet 123b in the present embodiment.

In this embodiment, the non-return water inlet 123b is disposed on the bottom wall of the non-return passage 123a, and the top end of the non-return water inlet 123b is at the non-return position, and the top end of the non-return water inlet 123b is higher than the top end of the non-return water outlet 123c, so that the water flowing into the non-return water inlet 123b can flow out from the non-return water outlet 123c more smoothly. Of course, it will be appreciated that in other possible embodiments, the non-return water inlet may also be provided on the side wall or on the top wall of the non-return channel, etc.

In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the non-return water inlet 123b is smaller than the inner diameter of the non-return water outlet 123c. Thereby preventing the water flowing into the check passage 123a from being accumulated in the water flow passage to flow out from the check water outlet 123c more smoothly and timely.

In this embodiment, the non-return position 121c is communicated with the water storage tank 110 through the communication passage 131, and the water storage tank 110 is communicated with the external environment air pressure, so that the non-return position 121c is communicated with the external environment air pressure. The opening of the communication passage 131 communicating with the storage tank 110 is higher than the highest water level of the storage tank 110. Thus, on the one hand, the steam flow is prevented from being discharged to the external environment to increase the humidity of the external environment, and further, the corrosion to the drinking water apparatus 100 and the like is prevented; on the other hand, the steam flows into the water storage tank 110, and the steam is liquefied and then left in the water storage tank 110, so that the waste of water resources is avoided.
