  • Patent number: 11084702
    Abstract: Disclosed is a temperature adjusting method for instant heating or cooling with an energy-saving water dispenser, the method including: installing a water dispenser, which includes a heating device, a control processor, etc.; coupling a water inlet to a tap water pipe and heating the water to 100° C., where the produced boiling water is split into two branches, one flows out from a high-temperature water outlet; the other branch flows through a preheater and performs heat exchange with cold water to achieve a temperature drop thus forming warm boiled water, which enters a refrigeration unit to be cooled to 5° C. When the user sets a single-time output water temperature and amount within an effective range, the control processor automatically matches the corresponding working mode and provides an accurate output according to the user-set single-time output water temperature and amount. There is further disclosed a water dispenser.

  • Patent number: 11013372
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of take-out food cases, more particularly to a take-out food case for keeping food fresh. The principle is as follows. The temperature information of the heat insulation portion is detected and fed back to the temperature controller by the thermocouple probe. When the detected temperature is lower than the minimum temperature preset by the temperature controller, carbon fiber heating pipes are controlled to heat the food by the temperature controller. When the temperature inside the heat insulation portion reaches to the maximum temperature preset by the temperature controller, carbon fiber heating pipes are controlled to stop heating by means of the temperature controller. When the take-out food case for keeping food fresh is not in use, ultraviolet sterilizing lamps are controlled to perform regular sterilization for the take-out food case by means of the timer.
