An ice bladder assembly 100 of a water dispenser and a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, an ice liner assembly 100 of a water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: the ice container comprises an ice container body 10, a refrigerating part 20, a water inlet pipe 30 and a water outlet pipe 40.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, a tank cavity 101 is formed in the ice tank body 10, and the refrigerating member 20 may be configured to exchange heat with liquid in the tank cavity 101, so that the ice tank assembly 100 may refrigerate water. The water inlet pipe 30 is connected to the bottom wall of the ice bladder body 10, and the water inlet pipe 30 has a water inlet pipe inlet 301 and a water inlet pipe outlet 302. Wherein, inlet tube 301 is located the downside of ice courage body 10 to in water structures such as with the water source link to each other, inlet tube export 302 is located the upper portion of courage chamber 101, makes water get into courage chamber 101 by courage chamber 101 upper portion, and the cold water through the heat transfer flows to the lower part of courage chamber 101, prevents that the water in the courage chamber 101 from producing the refrigeration effect that the convection current influences the play water because of the temperature difference.

As shown in fig. 3, the water outlet pipe 40 is also connected to the bottom wall of the ice bladder body 10, and the water outlet pipe 40 has a water outlet pipe inlet 401 and a water outlet pipe outlet 402. Wherein, the outlet 402 of the water outlet pipe is located at the lower side of the ice container body 10 so as to be connected with water outlet structures such as the water intake 200, and the inlet 401 of the water outlet pipe is located at the lower part of the container cavity 101.

From this, in the water preparation process, the lower cold water of temperature of the lower part of courage chamber 101 can get into outlet pipe 40 through outlet pipe import 401 to through outlet pipe 40 outflow ice courage subassembly 100, in ice courage subassembly 100 carries out abluent in-process, abluent sewage in the courage chamber 101 can get into outlet pipe 40 through outlet pipe import 401, in order to discharge ice courage subassembly 100 through outlet pipe 40. That is to say, outlet pipe import 401 both can be used for the cold water outflow that makes and also can be used for abluent sewage to discharge, and outlet pipe 40 and drain pipe two unification need not to set up the drain pipe in addition for ice gallbladder component 100, and ice gallbladder component 100's structure is simpler. And the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 30 of the ice liner component 100 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 40 are both arranged at the lower side of the ice liner component 100, and the ice liner component 100 can be connected by one side of the ice liner component 100 when being connected with other water inlet structures and water outlet structures, so that the operation is more convenient.

For example, according to the utility model discloses a water dispenser can include water route board 210 and according to the utility model discloses a water dispenser's ice gallbladder subassembly 100, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, water route board 210 links to each other with the outlet end of outlet pipe 40 and the end of intaking of inlet tube 30 of ice gallbladder subassembly 100 to make two water route interfaces 212 of water route board 210 communicate with inlet tube import 301 and outlet pipe export 402 respectively, and then make inlet tube import 301 communicate with the water source through water route board 210, outlet pipe export 402 communicates with the intake 200 of water dispenser through water route board 210. The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe 30 and the water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 40 are arranged at the lower side of the ice liner component 100, so that the water inlet pipe 30 and the water outlet pipe 40 are directly connected with the water path plate 210 without other water pipes, and the connection operation is convenient and rapid.

According to the utility model discloses ice gallbladder subassembly 100 of water dispenser locates the diapire of ice gallbladder body 10 through inlet tube 30 and outlet pipe 40, and inlet tube import 301 and outlet pipe export 402 all are located the downside of ice gallbladder body 10, make ice gallbladder subassembly 100 with other structure of intaking and go out water structure installation convenient and fast to outlet pipe import 401 is located the lower part in courage chamber 101, make ice gallbladder subassembly 100 need not to set up the drain pipe, the structure is simpler.

Because according to the utility model discloses ice bag subassembly 100 of water dispenser has above-mentioned profitable technological effect, consequently according to the utility model discloses the water dispenser locates the diapire of ice bag body 10 through inlet tube 30 and outlet pipe 40, and inlet tube import 301 and outlet pipe export 402 all are located the downside of ice bag body 10, make ice bag subassembly 100 and water route board 210 installation more convenient and fast to outlet pipe import 401 is located the lower part of courage chamber 101, make ice bag subassembly 100 need not to set up the drain pipe, and ice bag subassembly 100 and water route board 210's structure is simpler.

According to some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in fig. 3, outlet pipe import 401 can locate the lateral wall of outlet pipe 40, and the distance of the minimum point of outlet pipe import 401 and the lower chamber wall of courage chamber 101 is L1 to L1 satisfies: l1 is more than or equal to 0mm and less than or equal to 5 mm. For example, in some embodiments, the distances L1 between the lowest point of the outlet pipe inlet 401 and the wall surface of the lower cavity of the gallbladder cavity 101 may be 0mm, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and so on. In the size range, the distance between the lowest point of the water outlet pipe inlet 401 and the wall surface of the lower cavity of the liner cavity 101 is closer, so that in the cleaning process of the ice liner assembly 100, liquid in the liner cavity 101 can be discharged from the water outlet pipe inlet 401 more fully, the liquid residue is less, and the liner cavity 101 is cleaned more cleanly. For example, in the example shown in fig. 3, the lowest point of the outlet pipe inlet 401 is flush with the lower cavity wall surface of the gallbladder cavity 101, i.e. L1 is 0mm, the liquid in the gallbladder cavity 101 can be completely discharged from the outlet pipe inlet 401 during the cleaning process without residue, so that the cleaned sewage is prevented from remaining and mixing with the drinking water during the water production of the ice gallbladder assembly 100.

Further, as shown with continued reference to fig. 3, the outlet pipe 40 may extend upward to the upper portion of the bladder chamber 101, and the upper end of the outlet pipe 40 is opened to form the air outlet 403. When water is fed into the liner cavity 101 through the water inlet pipe 30, the gas in the liner cavity 101 can be discharged through the air outlet 403, so that the air pressure in the liner cavity 101 is stable, the influence of the increase of the gas pressure in the liner cavity 101 on water feeding is avoided, and the water feeding is smoother.
