Definitions
- the present invention relates to a water server capable of pouring water previously transferred from a replaceable raw water container to a storage tank as drinking water.
- the water in the storage tank flows out from the water injection channel, and the discharged water can be poured into the user's cup or the like.
- the raw water container is disposed at the lower part of the casing and the storage tank is provided at a higher position than the raw water container.
- a water supply channel that pumps the water from the raw water container to the storage tank is adopted.
- the pump automatically operates, and the water in the raw water container is pumped up to the storage tank until the storage tank reaches a predetermined amount of water (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
- Patent Document 1 discloses a case in which a drawer opening is provided at the lower part, a replaceable raw water container that is put in and out of the drawer while being placed on a slide base, and a storage tank provided in the casing. It has a water supply channel that draws water from the raw water container.
- the housing has left and right side plates that form a drawer opening, and these side plates have front end portions that are bent so as to face each other in order to improve rigidity.
- the raw water container is placed on the upper surface of the slide base (container opening upward).
- One end of the water supply channel is designed to project into the container port from above.
- a piercing portion that pushes the stopper of the raw water container upward is provided on the slide base.
- One end of the water supply channel is provided at the piercing portion.
- the pushing of the stopper by the piercing portion is performed by lifting the raw water container upside down and lowering it while hitting the piercing portion.
- it may be due to a mechanism that raises the piercing portion with respect to a predetermined raw water container.
- both the unsealing of the raw water container and the connection with the water supply channel can be performed by inserting the piercing portion.
- a hard bottle or a soft container having a side wall that can shrink at atmospheric pressure as the amount of residual water decreases is used as the raw water container.
- Employing a soft container is convenient for transporting empty containers.

- the operator can pass over the left or right side of the container holder 25. It is guided to carry the raw water container 30.
- the destination of the container port 31 is the position of the container port 31 of the inverted raw water container 30 and may be considered to correspond to the position of the connection port 22.
- the intermediate portions 25a located on both sides in the left-right direction above the transport destination form the minimum height H1 of the container holder 25 as shown in FIG. It becomes a target that determines the trajectory of the mouth 31. For this reason, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, it is easy to align the container port 31 of the transported raw water container 30 with the piercing portion 23 protruding into the connection port 22, and the container holder 25. It is also possible to suppress the height of carrying the raw water container 30 while providing.
- the raw water container 30 is opened at the piercing portion 23 as shown in FIGS.
- An intake passage 70 is connected to the raw water container 30. Even if the operator accidentally hits the raw water container 30 anywhere on the container holder 25, the bucket body prevents the body from falling down.
- the raw water container 30 After placing the raw water container 30 on the slide base 20 as described above, when the operator pushes the slide base 20 backward, the raw water container 30 is placed in a fixed position in the outlet 11. Thereafter, when the operation of the pump 53 is turned on, the first pumping from the raw water container 30 to the storage tank 40 is started. During the pumping, the water level in the storage tank 40 rises, so that the air in the storage tank 40 is exhausted from the other end 74 of the air chamber 73 through the air introduction pipe 46. The amount of residual water in the raw water container 30 gradually decreases, and the side peripheral wall 33 to which atmospheric pressure acts from the outside gradually contracts, so that the height of the side peripheral wall 33 gradually decreases.
- the pump 53 does not forcibly pump up the water in the raw water container 30. Since the sterilizer 80 is also operated during the operation of the pump 53, the amount of sterilizing gas in the ascending pipe 72 and the air chamber 73 increases. When the storage tank 40 reaches a predetermined upper limit water level, the operation of the pump 53 is automatically stopped, the sterilizer 80 is also stopped, and the temperature control function (heat exchanger 41, heater 43) of the storage tank 40 is automatically turned on. become.
- the side peripheral wall 33 of the raw water container 30 is regulated from a sufficiently high position by the container holder 25 even if the side peripheral wall 33 is shrunk in any of the front, rear, left and right sides as shown in FIGS. It does n’t go out so big. Further, the upward leading edge of the container holder 25 has a non-sharp shape that circulates around the side peripheral wall 33 at the same height and does not bite into the side peripheral wall 33. There is no worry of getting caught on the tip edge of. As the free shrinkage further proceeds and the side peripheral wall 33 is lowered, the portion of the side peripheral wall 33 that protrudes from the container holder 25 is naturally guided to the inside of the container holder 25 by the regulation of the container holder 25. .
- the front wall 26, the back wall 27, the left wall 28, and the right wall 29 forming the container holder 25 restrict the side wall 33 from the surroundings with only a flat surface having no level difference, so that the side wall 33 contracts. There is no worry of getting caught inside the holder. Therefore, until the shrinkage further proceeds and the raw water container 30 is used up, the side peripheral wall 33 continuously restricted by the container holder 25 is located inside the container holder 25 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6B. It is lower than the height H1, and it is impossible to protrude to the back of the front end portion 12a.
- the minimum height H1 of the container holder 25 may be set to 1 ⁇ 2 or more of the total height of the new raw water container 30 (but in a state of being placed on the horizontal plane). Based on this, the minimum height H1 of the container holder 25 is set to be equal to or less than the side peripheral wall 33 of the raw water container 30 at the start of the first pumping, that is, the seat height h1. Thereby, when carrying up the raw
- the seat height of the side peripheral wall 33 of the raw water container 30 is such that the slide base 20 is pulled out from the outlet 11 and the piercing portion 23 is pulled out of the raw water container 30 for the next replacement. Until h2 in FIG. 5 is maintained. Accordingly, when the slide table 20 is pulled out as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the side wall 33 of the used raw water container 30 is inside the container holder 25 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6B. It is not caught by the front front end portion 12a of any side plate 12.
- the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes all modifications within the scope of the technical idea based on the description of the scope of claims.
