According to the guide assembly for a water supply device provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, the guide member 102 is arranged in a spiral winding manner on the support member 100, so as to optimize the structure of the planar guide member 102 in the related art, the guide member 102 is wound to form the flow channel 104, and the inclined guide plate 116 connects two adjacent partition plates, so that the interval between the water with different temperatures on the upper side and the lower side of the guide assembly is increased, and thus the effect of preventing temperature cross is effectively achieved, and no dead water region is formed on the partition plates.

Please refer to fig. 1 to fig. 6, the diversion assembly is disposed in the water dispenser as an example.

The supporting member 100 may be formed in a cylindrical shape, a prismatic shape, etc., and in the embodiment of the present invention, the supporting member 100 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the influence on the flow of water when the water is passed can be reduced by forming the supporting member 100 in a cylindrical shape. The support member 100 may also be provided in a hollow form, which can reduce the weight of the support member 100 for ease of installation and distribution.

The end of the supporting member 100 is further provided with a mounting structure 120 for connecting a plurality of supporting members 100 to each other, and the mounting structure 120 may be a mounting groove 112, a mounting opening, etc. as mentioned herein, it will be understood that when there are a plurality of supporting members 100, the plurality of supporting members 100 may be sequentially spliced along the axial direction thereof, and the connection between two adjacent supporting members 100 is facilitated by providing the mounting structure 120 at the end of the supporting member 100.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the supporting member 100 may be made of a material with relatively poor thermal conductivity, such as plastic, rubber, etc. By using the material to make the supporting member 100, the axial heat conduction of the supporting member 100 can be avoided, and further the heat conduction along the axial direction of the supporting member 100 is avoided, and the possibility of temperature cross between the cold water area and the warm water area or between the cold water area and the hot water area is reduced. Meanwhile, the energy consumption of the water dispenser is reduced along with the reduction of the temperature mixing possibility, so that the water dispenser can cool or heat water to a target temperature more quickly when refrigerating or heating the water along with the reduction of the temperature mixing possibility, the repeated refrigerating or heating operation of the water dispenser in the related technology is avoided, and the purpose of reducing the energy consumption is further realized.

The diversion member 102 functions to divert water, improve water fluidity, and avoid a dead water region between the water storage member and the water production member 118. It should be noted that the water storage component mentioned herein may be a water tank, etc., and the water production component 118 may be a hot water tank, a cold water tank, etc.

The flow guiding member 102 is disposed around the supporting member 100 to form a flow passage 104, and the flow passage 104 includes at least two partitions, for example, three partitions, which are a top partition 106, a middle partition 107 and a bottom partition 109 from top to bottom, and are spaced apart along the axial direction of the supporting member 100. The flow passages 104 described above are formed between the top partition 106 and the middle partition 107 and between the middle partition 107 and the bottom partition 109.

The adjacent two partition boards are connected through the inclined guide plate 116, and through the arrangement, no dead water area is formed on the top partition board 106, the middle partition board 107 and the bottom partition board 109.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the baffle 102 is integrally formed with the support member 100, or the baffle 102 is detachably coupled to the support member 100.

It is understood that the diversion member 102 can be integrally formed with the support member 100 by injection molding, and can be detachably connected with the support member 100 by plugging or splicing. In the embodiment of the present invention, the diversion member 102 is connected to the support member 100 by way of integral molding, which can effectively prevent water leakage from the connection position of the diversion member 102 and the support member 100.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the flow guiding element 102 is spirally wound along the axial direction of the support 100, that is, the flow guiding element 102 is spirally disposed, so that when water flows into the flow guiding element 102, the water can flow under the guidance of the spiral flow guiding element 102, thereby reducing the possibility of dead water.

Through setting water conservancy diversion spare 102 to the form of heliciform, can also increase the interval between cold water district and normal atmospheric temperature water district or cold water district and the hot water district, further promote the effect of preventing the cross temperature.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the flow guiding member 102 is spirally wound on the supporting member 100 and forms the flow channel 104 for guiding water, and as mentioned above, the top partition 106, the middle partition 107 and the bottom partition 109 are sequentially connected to form the flow channel 104.

Referring to fig. 3, the connection between the top partition 106 and the middle partition 107 and between the middle partition 107 and the bottom partition 109 is achieved through the inclined guide plate 116, and by such arrangement, after water flows through the top partition 106, the water can flow onto the middle partition 107 through the inclined guide plate 116 and then flow onto the bottom partition 109 through the inclined guide plate 116 between the middle partition 107 and the bottom partition 109, so that a dead water area can be avoided in the diversion member 102.

It will be appreciated that the flow guide 102 is helically wound at least two times, as shown in fig. 3, so as to form the flow channel 104 in the support 100. The upper flow path 104 is formed by a top partition 106 and a middle partition 107, and the lower flow path 104 is formed by a middle partition 107 and a bottom partition 109.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the height of the flow passage 104 between the top partition 106 and the middle partition 107 is smaller than the height of the flow passage 104 between the middle partition 107 and the bottom partition 109.

Here, two different cases are involved, that is, when the normal-temperature water is located above and the cold water is located below, the flow passage 104 formed between the top partition 106 and the middle partition 107 is located near the normal-temperature water, and the flow passage 104 formed between the middle partition 107 and the bottom partition 109 is located near the cold water. When the normal-temperature water is located above and the hot water is located below, the flow passage 104 formed between the top partition 106 and the intermediate partition 107 is located close to the normal-temperature water, and the flow passage 104 formed between the intermediate partition 107 and the bottom partition 109 is located close to the hot water.

By taking the case that normal temperature water is located the top, cold water is located the below, can understand that, the height that is close to the runner 104 of cold water one side is great relatively, keeps away from the height of the runner 104 of cold water one side less relatively, and the aim at who sets up like this can form great water storage space relatively in cold water district one side, and then can store more voluminous cold water, also can realize the cold water district more effectively simultaneously and keep apart with the normal atmospheric temperature water district, and then guarantee the reduction of the refrigeration energy consumption of water dispenser.

Of course, it should be noted that in some other embodiments, the flow guiding element 102 may be wound three times, four times, etc. after being spirally wound.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the height of the flow channel 104 between the top partition 106 and the middle partition 107 to the height of the flow channel 104 between the middle partition 107 and the bottom partition 109 ranges from 1:5 to 5: 7.

As mentioned above, the height of the flow passage 104 near the cold water side is relatively larger, and the height of the flow passage 104 far from the cold water side is relatively smaller, for example, if the height of the flow passage 104 far from the cold water side is 5 mm, the height of the flow passage 104 near the cold water side can be 7 mm to 25 mm. Through setting up like this, can form relatively great water storage space on one side of cold water district, and then can store more volumetric cold water, also can realize cold water district and normal atmospheric temperature water district or cold water district and the isolation in hot water district more effectively simultaneously, and then guarantee the reduction of the refrigeration energy consumption of water dispenser.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the ratio of the height of the flow channel 104 between the top partition 106 and the middle partition 107 to the height of the flow channel 104 between the middle partition 107 and the bottom partition 109 is 3:5, for example, the height of the flow channel 104 on the side far from the cold water is 9 mm, and the height of the flow channel 104 on the side near to the cold water can be 15 mm.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a connecting column 108 is disposed in the flow passage 104, and an overflowing hole 110 is formed on the connecting column 108.

By arranging the connecting column 108 in the flow channel 104, the flow channel 104 can be prevented from being deformed in the installation and transportation processes. That is, in the transportation and installation process of the diversion assembly, the support of the connecting column 108 can ensure that the flow channel 104 is not deformed even if extruded, and further ensure the service life of the diversion assembly.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in order to avoid resistance of the connecting column 108 to the water flow, an overflowing hole 110 is further formed in the connecting column 108, so that when the water flow passes through the connecting column 108, the water flow can flow out through the overflowing hole 110, and the flow resistance of the connecting column 108 to the water flow is reduced by the arrangement of the overflowing hole 110. The number of the overflowing holes 110 may be one or more, and when there are a plurality of overflowing holes 110, a plurality of overflowing holes 110 may be spaced along the height direction of the connecting column 108.

Referring to fig. 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, an overflowing hole 110 is formed at one end of the connecting column 108 near the bottom of the partition. Through setting up like this, even if the discharge of water in the runner 104 is very little, also can flow out through the discharge hole 110, avoided the spliced pole 108 to cause the influence to rivers. The aperture of the overflowing hole 110 is not particularly limited herein as long as the overflowing function can be achieved.
