When the outlet of the dispenser is used for taking out the ice, the ice water and other very-temperature materials, the cover 300 is a heat-insulating door with a heat-insulating function.

It will be appreciated that the dispenser includes a housing 110 and a bracket 120, the bracket 120 being removably coupled to the housing 110.

It will be appreciated that, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the base 110 is connected with a pressing plate 500, the bracket is connected with a triggering member 600, the pressing plate 500 is rotatably connected to the base 110, the triggering member 600 is in communication with the driving member 400, the pressing plate 500 is adapted to rotate along an initial position to a triggering position, and in the triggering position, the pressing plate 500 and the triggering member 600 generate a triggering signal, so that the driving member 400 drives the cover 300 to open according to the triggering signal.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the base 110 is configured with a mounting groove 170, the trigger piece 600 is located in the mounting groove 170, the mounting mode of the trigger piece 600 is simple, the position detection of the trigger piece 600 on the pressing plate 500 is accurate, and the start and stop of the driving piece 400 can be flexibly and accurately controlled.

The trigger piece 600 is located the mounting groove 170, and the binding post 610 of trigger piece 600 is towards the below, and under the condition that the condensate water in the mounting groove 170 can not flow down in time, also can reduce binding post 610 and contact water and the risk of drenching corrosion, avoid binding post 610 to advance water failure, guarantee the security requirement of trigger piece 600, eliminate safety risk, and the mounted position of trigger piece 600 is nimble, still makes things convenient for the circuit connection refrigeration plant of trigger piece 600 in automatically controlled part (such as power, controller).
