Description

Instantly heated and/or cooled water dispenser

This creation is a water dispenser, especially a water dispenser that can be instantly heated and/or cooled without the need for a heat preservation or ice storage tank, and which allows the user to immediately obtain hot water or ice water.

The conventional drinking fountain can provide boiling water with different temperatures of ice and warm water. The structure comprises a heating unit that boils the drinking water, a cooling unit that cools the hot water, a plurality of separate hot water, warm water, ice water, or ice protection. a water storage tank and a water temperature sensing unit for sensing the temperature condition of the heat preservation or ice storage tank; when the water dispenser is in operation, the drinking water is first boiled by the heating unit and then taken to the hot water storage tank for storage, and the hot water is passed through the pipeline. After being cooled by the refrigeration unit, it is transported to a warm water insulated water storage tank or an ice water ice storage water storage tank for storage, so that the user can obtain boiling water with different temperatures of ice temperature and heat from each heat preservation or ice storage tank.

Furthermore, the water temperature sensing unit of the conventional water dispenser is always detecting the temperature of each heat preservation or ice storage tank, for example, sensing that the temperature of the hot water storage tank is insufficient, or ice water storage. When the temperature of the water tank is too high, the heating unit or the cooling unit will be activated to heat or cool, so that the water dispenser is always in operation, resulting in increased power consumption, and three water storage tanks in the water dispenser, resulting in a large volume. The disadvantage of taking up space.

Therefore, there is a hot water dispenser on the market, the instant water dispenser comprises a water storage bucket arranged on the machine for storing and drinking water, a water pump pumping water from the water storage bucket, and a pair of drinking water for instant heating. The electric heater and a water supply port; the user operates the water control button on the water dispenser to instantly heat the drinking water flowing through the electric heater, so that the user can obtain hot water from the water supply port.

The conventional technology CN201779861 is a kind of application on the instant water dispenser. The electric heater is a metal casing, and the casing is provided with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The casing is formed by combining an upper casing and a lower casing, and a heating circuit is printed on the surface of the upper casing. The plate is heated in time for the drinking water flowing through the casing, and the lower casing is provided with a supporting rib between the upper casing and the lower casing to isolate the internal space to form a bypass water passage.

In actual production, the electric heater is made of stainless steel. The stainless steel has different specifications depending on the proportion of elements added. The application of the food utensils is SUS430, 304 or 316. The price of SUS430 is cheaper, but it is cheaper than SUS304. And 316 is easier to print on the surface of the circuit board, while SUS304 and 316 have better high acid and alkali resistance than SUS430, but the price is much higher than that of SUS430, and it is not easy to print the circuit board on the surface.

In order to save manufacturing costs, the upper cover of the electric heater adopts the specification of SUS430, and the lower cover adopts the specification of SUS304 or 316 to facilitate the printing of the heating circuit on the upper cover surface of the SUS430. However, during the heating process, the SUS430 specification easily releases manganese metal into the drinking water, which is harmful to human health. If it is changed to SUS304 or 316 printed circuit board, the manufacturing cost becomes high, and the printing process is complicated, making food hygiene Both safety and production costs cannot be balanced.

In view of this, the creator has accumulated many years of research and practical experience in related fields, and created a water dispenser that can be heated and/or cooled immediately to solve the problem of the large amount of electricity consumed by the conventional water dispenser for keeping warm or keeping ice.
