Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a cap assembly for a mineral water erosion type water bottle,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a cap assembly for a fixed-type water bottle, more particularly, to a cap assembly for a fixed-type water bottle that prevents generation of residual water in the water bottle and smooths the pumping action.

As a result of rapid modernization and environment pollution caused by the wastewater from the plant, pollution of the water source is getting worse, and there is an increasing trend of using water purifiers or bottled water sold as drinking water instead of drinking tap water directly.

Especially, the water heater is widely used in public places, offices and general households. It is provided as a cold / hot water heater for rapidly cooling or heating bottled water, so that it is possible to select cold water or hot water according to the taste of water .

1, the water tank is inverted upside down on the top of the water heater so that the mouth portion of the water tank is submerged in the top of the water heater, and then the water in the water tank is naturally dropped by the amount of cold water or hot water have.

However, when the water tank is placed upside down on the top of the water heater / hot water generator as described above, considerable force is required to lift the water tank filled up with water to the top of the water heater / hot water heater. There were many difficulties.

In addition, there is a problem that the water is poured to the outside while contaminating the surroundings in the process of turning the water bottle upside down with the cap of the water bottle being opened.

In addition, there is a problem that the spout portion of the contaminated water bottle in the distribution process is immersed in the top of the cold / hot water heater, which is not hygienic.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, recently, there has been provided a water-bottled water type water-conditioner of the present invention, which is constructed such that a water tank is placed under the main body of a water heater and the water of a water bottle is pumped to a water- .

Hereinafter, a water column type fixed water heater / warmer (hereinafter referred to as a 'fixed water heater / warmer') will be described with reference to FIG.

The sizing-type cold / hot water generating machine comprises a substantially rectangular column-shaped main body 10 and a water tank 20 for supplying bottled water, and a take-out cock 11 for controlling water discharge of the water- Respectively.

The front cover 13 is provided at the lower portion of the take-out cock 11 to selectively open and close the water storage compartment 12 in which the water bottle 20 is stored.

The main body 10 is provided with suction means 30 for sucking water from the water bottle 20 into the upper portion of the main body 10 and taking out water through the take-out cock 11.

The suction means 30 includes a pumping hose 31 installed in the main body 10 and a cap 32 coupled to an opening of the water tank 20 and a cap 32 coupled to the cap 32, And a suction pipe 33 which is inserted into the water tank 20 to provide a channel through which water in the water tank 20 is sucked into the pumping hose 31.

The pumping hose 31 is a pipe through which a water tank 20 pumped by a motor (not shown) collects in the storage tank 14 and is connected between the storage tank 14 and the water tank 20.

The water collected in the storage tank 14 is branched and stored in the hot water tank 15 and the cold water tank 16, respectively, and then discharged through the take-out cock 11.

When the water in the water tank 20 is exhausted, the water tank 20 is taken out of the water tank compartment 12 and the cap 31 coupled with the suction pipe 33 is separated from the pumping hose 31 .

Thereafter, the cap 31 is separated from the water tank 20 and replaced with a water tank 20 filled with water, and the cap 18b and the pumping hose 31 are recombined with the water tank 20 in the reverse order.

However, the conventional sizable water bottle cap has the following problems.

First, since the water tank 20 is erected, there is a problem that the suction pipe 33 does not lift all of the bottled water left on the bottom surface of the water tank 20 to the storage tank 14, leaving a residue in the water tank 20.

2, the suction pipe 33 can not reach the groove of the water tank 20, so that the suction pipe 33 can not reach the bottom of the water tank 20, There was always a cup left.

Therefore, due to the remaining water in the water tank 20, the bottom surface of the water tank 20 becomes dirty, so that it is difficult to clean the water tank 20. In particular, when the water tank can not be removed, the contaminated water tank 20 must be disposed Causing problems.

Second, since the sizes of the water bottles 20 provided on the market are not uniform, there is a very troublesome problem that the water bottles 20 must be tilted in order to empty out the small amount of residual water remaining in the water bottles 20.

That is, when the height of the water bottle 20 is relatively large, the length of the suction pipe 33 coupled to the cap 32 may not reach the bottom of the water bottle 20, In order to pump the water in the groove formed in the circumference, the water tube 20 should be inclined to collect water to one side of the bottom of the water tank 20 so that the suction tube 33 is locked.

Therefore, it is troublesome to pump all the water in the water tank 20.

It is to be understood that the words or words used in the present specification and claims are not to be construed in a conventional or dictionary sense and that the inventor can properly define the concept of a term in order to describe its invention in the best possible way And should be construed in light of the meanings and concepts consistent with the technical idea of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a cap assembly of a sizable-type water bottle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7 attached hereto.

The cap assembly (hereinafter, referred to as 'cap assembly') of the sizable-type water tank can be combined regardless of the size of the water tank, and has a technical feature that the length of the suction pipe, which is a pipe for sucking water in the water tank, is expanded and contracted.

Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of residual water in all the water bottles, regardless of the height of the water bottle.

 The cap assembly includes a main cap 100, a suction pipe 200, a sealing member 300, a closing member 400, and a fixing member 500 as shown in FIG.

The main stopper 100 serves to shield the opening 21 of the water bottle 20 and is coupled while surrounding the opening 21 of the water bottle 20.

As shown in FIG. 3, the main stopper 100 preferably includes a shield 110, a peripheral portion 120, and a coupling pipe 130.

It is preferable that the shielding portion 110 is formed in the shape of a disk that is in contact with the opening 21 of the water bottle 20 and corresponds to the opening 21.

At this time, a plurality of through holes 111 are formed in the shield 110.

The through hole 111 is formed in order to effectively perform the water pumping action through the suction pipe 200, and a detailed description will be given later.

 The peripheral portion 120 constitutes a side surface of the main stopper 100 and is formed along the rim of the shielding portion 110.

The peripheral portion 120 is a portion that surrounds the peripheral surface of the opening 21 of the water tank 20, and is preferably formed by a plurality of incised blades.

This is because the inner diameter of the main stopper 100 can correspond to the outer diameter of the opening 21 irrespective of the size of the water bottle 20 although the size of the outer diameter of the opening 21 may differ depending on the size of the water bottle 20 to be.

In other words, since the plurality of vanes 120 can be turned outward, it can flexibly correspond to the outer diameter of the opening 21 of the water tank 20.

Meanwhile, it is preferable that the shielding portion 110 is formed to be stepped inside the peripheral portion 120.

Accordingly, a groove H is formed between the peripheral portion 120 and the shielding portion 110, and a foreign body inflow preventing member, which will be described later, is disposed in the groove H.

At this time, a plurality of latching pieces 121 are formed along the periphery of the stepped inner side surface of the peripheral portion 120 forming the groove H.

The engaging piece 121 is configured to engage with the closing member 400.

The coupling pipe 130 forms a conduit communicating with the suction pipe 200 and the pumping hose 31 (see FIG. 2), and is a portion to which the suction pipe 200 and the pumping hose 31 are coupled.

The coupling pipe 130 protrudes toward both sides of the shield 110.

One end of the coupling pipe 130 protrudes from one side of the shielding part 110 so that the suction pipe 200 disposed inside the water bottle 20 can be coupled with the other end of the shielding part 110, The other end of the coupling pipe 130 is protruded so that the pumping hose 31 installed in the coupling pipe 130 can be coupled.

Next, the suction pipe 200 serves as a pipe through which the water in the water tank 20 is sucked into the pumping hose 31 through the pumping action, and is disposed inside the water tank 20.

The suction pipe 200 is in the form of a hollow and is coupled to one end of the coupling pipe 130.

At this time, the suction pipe 200 forms a new wrinkle portion 210 as shown in FIG.

The extension wrinkle portion 210 serves to expand and contract the length of the suction pipe 200 and the extension wrinkle portion 210 also forms a flow path communicating with the duct of the suction pipe 200.

The position of the extension / contraction wrinkle portion 210 on the suction pipe 200 is not limited.

3, the expansion wrinkle portion 210 may constitute an end portion of the suction pipe 200 or may be formed in the middle of the suction pipe 200 although not shown in the drawing.

The extension / contraction wrinkles 210 may be integrally formed with the suction pipe 200 or may be detachably coupled to the suction pipe 200.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the suction pipe 200 is configured to be fitted to the end of the suction pipe 200.

For this purpose, fitting portions 211 are formed at both ends of the new and wrinkled wrinkles 210 to form a step.

The sealing member 300 serves to maintain airtightness between the opening 21 of the water bottle 20 and the main stopper 100 and is interposed between the main stopper 100 and the opening 21.

The material of the sealing member 300 is preferably a rubber member, but the material is not limited thereto.

Next, the closing member 400 closes and closes the groove H formed in the main stopper 100.

3, the closing member 400 corresponds to the shield 110 of the main stopper 100 and forms a plurality of through holes 410 like the shield 110. As shown in FIG.

The through hole 410 formed in the closing member 400 is also designed to smoothly perform the pumping action.

That is, since the air holes 111 and 410 are formed in the shielding part 110 and the closing member 400, the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the water tank 20 can be reduced. Therefore, the load of the pumping motor for pumping action can be reduced, The suction operation can be performed smoothly.

At this time, the through holes 111 and 410 formed in the shielding part 110 and the closing member 400 pass into the interior of the water tank 20, and insects and foreign matter can be introduced through the through holes 111 and 410, The foreign matter inflow preventing member 420 is disposed in the groove H formed in the main stopper 100.

The foreign matter inflow preventing member 420 is interposed between the shielding portion 110 of the main member 100 and the closing member 400 and is preferably provided as a sponge.

That is, since the air gap is formed in the sponge 420 and is ventilated through the through holes 111 and 410 of the shielding part 110 and the closing member 400, not only the internal and external pressure differences of the water tank 20 can be reduced, This is because insects and foreign matter do not enter the inside of the water tank 20.

Meanwhile, a plurality of hooking hooks 430 are formed at the edges of the closing member 400.

The hooking hook 430 serves to engage the closure member 400 with the main stopper 100 and is engaged with the stopper 121 formed on the main stopper 100.

The fixing member 500 functions to press the main stopper 100 surrounding the opening 21 of the water bottle 20 into the opening 21 and press the peripheral portion 120 of the main stopper 100, As shown in Fig.

In other words, a male screw is formed on the peripheral portion 120 of the main stopper 100, the fixing member 500 is formed in a ring shape, and a female screw is formed on the inner surface.

At this time, it is preferable that a plurality of protrusions 510 capable of increasing the gripping force are formed on the circumferential surface of the fixing member 500 in order to increase the rotation efficiency of the fixing member 500.

Hereinafter, the coupling and operation of the cap assembly having the above-described structure will be described.

The sealing member 300 is inserted into the inner surface of the main stopper 100.

Next, the extension / contraction portion 210 of the suction pipe 200 is coupled to one end of the coupling pipe 130.

At this time, the end portion of the coupling pipe 130 is caught by the step of the expansion wrinkle portion 210 and is not excessively inserted into the expansion wrinkle portion 210.

Next, the sponge 420 is placed on the groove H of the main cap 100, and then the closure member 400 is covered and engaged.

At this time, the retaining hook 430 of the closing member 400 is engaged with the retaining piece 121.

Next, the fixing member 500 is covered with the peripheral portion 120 of the main stopper 100 and is screwed.

This completes the coupling of the cap assembly and is provided to the user in the form of such a cap assembly.

The cap assembly is used in combination with a water bottle.

The assembled cap assembly is covered with the opening 21 of the water tank 20 as shown in Fig.

At this time, the shielding portion 110 shields the opening 21, and the sealing member 300 is in close contact with the rim of the opening 21.

The vanes forming the circumferential portion 120 of the main stopper 100 are folded or held in the original state corresponding to the outer diameter of the opening portion 21.

The suction pipe 200 is disposed inside the water bottle 20. The end of the suction pipe corresponds to the bottom of the water bottle while the new wrinkle part 210 contracts according to the height of the water bottle 20.

7, the end portion of the suction pipe 200 can be made to correspond to the bottom edge of the water bottle 20, which is the lowest position, while the new wrinkle portion 210 is bent.

Next, when the fixing member 500 is rotated and tightened, the wings 120 of the main stopper 100 are contracted toward the opening portion 21, so that the sealing member 300 is pressed on the opening portion 21 Airtightness is maintained between the opening 21 and the main stopper 100.

Thereby, the cap assembly coupling to the water bottle 20 is completed.

The pumping hose 31 is inserted into the other end of the coupling pipe 130 protruded upward from the cap assembly after the water tank 20 is received in the water tank 20 of the water tank 20 of the water cooler / Lt; / RTI >

Thereafter, when the cold / hot water generator is operated, the water inside the water tank 20 is pumped by the pumping motor, and the suction pipe 200 sucks the water tank and sends it to the storage tank 14.

Thereafter, the fresh water is taken out through the take-out cock (11).

In the meantime, the suction tube 200 of the cap assembly described above has been described in which one elongated wrinkle portion 210 is formed.

However, one or more of the new wrinkles 210 may be formed on the suction pipe 200, which will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 8, two extension wrinkles 210 are formed on the suction pipe 200.

Of course, the number of the new and wrinkled wrinkles 210 is not limited to two, and more may be formed.

At this time, the new wrinkled portion 210 may be formed integrally with the suction pipe 200, and may be fitted to the suction pipe 200 as described above.

That is, a plurality of the expansion / contraction wrinkle part 210 and the suction pipe 200 may be provided, and then they may be alternately interlocked with each other.

The length of the suction pipe 200 can be changed more flexibly and flexibly when the plurality of extension wrinkles 210 are formed on the suction pipe 200 so that the end of the suction pipe 200 is connected to the water pipe 20 So that it can be stably placed on the edge of the floor.

As described above, the cap assembly according to the present invention has a technical feature that the new wrinkle portion is constituted.

Accordingly, the length of the suction pipe can be varied, so that the suction pipe can correspond to the bottom of the water tank regardless of the size of the water bottle, and the suction pipe can be bent, so that it can reach the edge of the bottom of the water bottle.

Further, since the through hole is formed to reduce the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the water bottle, the overload of the pumping motor can be reduced and the pumping action can be smoothly performed.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
