[0029] Combined with the drawings, a small kitchen water heater with a water purification function and an integrated intelligent kitchen appliance of the present invention are described.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 2 Shown, a small kitchen water heater with a water purification function includes a housing 100, the housing 100 has a first water inlet 101 and two water purification outlets 102; a water purification component 200, the water purification component 200 is arranged in the housing 100; wherein, the water purification component 200 is connected with a water storage bucket 201, the water storage bucket 201 has two water storage cavities 202, each water storage cavity 202 is communicated with a water purification outlet 102, and a heating module 203 is arranged in one of the water storage cavities 202.

[0031] A small kitchen water heater of the present invention, the housing 100 has a first water inlet 101 and two purified water outlets 102. A water purification component 200 is arranged in the housing 100. The water purification component 200 is connected to a water storage bucket 201. The water storage bucket 201 has two water storage cavities 202. Each water storage bucket 201 communicates with one of the purified water outlets 102. And a heating module 203 is arranged in one of the water storage cavities 202. External water source enters the water purification component 200 through the first water inlet 101 and can flow out from the two purified water outlets 102. The water flowing out from the two purified water outlets 102 can flow to different water use areas. In addition, a heating module 203 is arranged in one of the water storage cavities 202 to heat the water in one of the water storage cavities 202. Using the principle of heat transfer to heat the water in the other water storage cavity 202, so as to ensure that the two water storage cavities 202 can be heated evenly. In addition, when the heating module 203 is not working, the water flowing out from the two purified water outlets 102 is normal temperature water, which can achieve the purpose of supplying hot water or normal temperature water with different purification degrees.

[0032] In this embodiment, water with different purification degrees is provided to different water use areas.

[0033] Such as Figure 3 Or Figure 4 As shown, the water storage bucket 201 has a partition plate 204. The partition plate 204 divides the interior of the water storage bucket 201 into two water storage cavities 202. The heating module 203 is arranged on the partition plate 204, reducing the distance between the heating module 203 and the two water storage cavities 202, making it closer to heating the water in the two water storage cavities 202 simultaneously.

[0034] In addition, the partition plate 204 can be made of a high thermal conductivity material, which can be a copper-aluminum alloy partition plate 204, facilitating heat transfer between the two water storage cavities 202.

[0035] Furthermore, the advantage of setting the partition plate 204 is that the position of the partition plate 204 can be adjusted, and water storage cavities 202 with equal or unequal volumes can be formed.

[0036] In this embodiment, the volume of one of the water storage cavities 202 is larger than that of the other water storage cavity 202, and the heating module 203 is installed in the water storage cavity 202 with a larger volume.

[0037] Since generally the heat provided by the heating module 203 is constant, the time required to heat water with different volumes to the same temperature is different. And in this embodiment, the water in the two water storage cavities 202 is heated by heat transfer. In order to prevent a large temperature difference between the water in the two water storage cavities 202, the two water storage cavities 202 need to be set with different volumes. Preferably, the larger water storage cavity 202 corresponds to the purified water flow path with a larger water consumption;

[0038] As Figure 1 or Figure 2 shown, a water circuit board 110 is disposed inside the housing 100, the water purification assembly 200 is disposed on the water circuit board 110, the water storage bucket 201 is disposed on one side of the water circuit board 110, and a water circuit 120 is formed on the water circuit board 110.

[0039] Generally speaking, to obtain drinking water that is harmless to the human body, devices such as reverse osmosis membranes are used. These devices separate tap water into drinking water and concentrated water, and this concentrated water is sewage. The water purification assembly 200 has a sewage outlet 103, and the purpose of this sewage outlet 103 is to discharge this sewage outside the device.

[0040] For a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown, the water purification assembly 200 includes a first filtration group 210 and 220; the two water storage cavities 202 are respectively a first water storage cavity 202 and a second water storage cavity 202. The first filtration group 210 is communicated with the first water storage cavity 202, and 220 is communicated with the second water storage cavity 202.

[0041] The first filtration group 210 and 220 are connected in series in sequence.

[0042] When the external water source is filtered by the first filtration group 210, the corresponding purified water obtained by the first filtration group 210 can continue to enter 220 for secondary purification, and the corresponding purified water obtained by the joint purification of the first filtration group 210 and 220 is obtained.

[0043] The purpose of the arrangement of connecting the first filtration group 210 and 220 in series in sequence can also simplify the structure of the water purification assembly 200. Within the range of the purification standard, the filtration structure of 220 can be streamlined, which does not affect the effect and can also save costs.

[0044] The first filtration group 210 is communicated with the first water inlet 101 on the housing 100, and the external water source enters directly from the first water inlet 101 and is input to the first filtration group 210 for filtration.

[0045] In order to distinguish the use of the first filtration group 210 and 220, a water inlet valve 230 is provided between the first filtration group 210 and 220. When cleaning water is required, the water inlet valve 230 is closed, and when drinking water is required, the water inlet valve 230 is opened.

[0046] In this embodiment, the purification degree of the drinking water should be higher than that of the cleaning water.

[0047] As Figure 5As shown, the first filtration group 210 includes a PP filter element 211 and a pre-carbon filter element 212 connected in sequence, and the 220 includes an ultrafiltration filter element 221, a booster pump 222, an RO filter element 223, and a post-granular carbon filter element 224 connected in sequence.

[0048] There are two RO filter elements 223, and the two RO filter elements 223 are arranged in parallel. Since the purification efficiency of a single RO filter element 223 is limited, the use of two RO filter elements 223 can improve the efficiency. The purpose of arranging the two RO filter elements 223 in parallel is that when water enters the area where the two RO filter elements 223 are located, it is split and then converges at the water outlet position of the RO filter element 223, thereby improving the purification efficiency.

[0049] The water purification assembly 200 includes a first filtration group 210 and 220. The two water storage chambers 202 are respectively a first water storage chamber 202 and a second water storage chamber 202. There is a first connection pipeline 241 between the first filtration group 210 and 220. A first water outlet pipeline 251 branches from the first connection pipeline 241. The first water outlet pipeline 251 is connected to the first water storage chamber 202. The end of the 220 is connected to a second water outlet pipeline 252, and the second water outlet pipeline 252 is connected to the second water storage chamber 202. Moreover, the end of the 220 is also connected to a waste water pipeline.

[0050] External water source passes through the first filtration group 210, the first connection pipeline 241, and the first water outlet pipeline 251 to obtain the first purified water stored in the first water storage chamber 202; the external water source passes through the first filtration group 210, the first connection pipeline 241, the 220, and the second water outlet pipeline 252 to obtain the second purified water stored in the second water storage chamber 202;

[0051] The end of the 220 is connected to a waste water pipeline, and each pipeline is not shared with each other, and each pipeline will not cause secondary pollution. The secondary pollution pointed out in the embodiments of the present invention means that only water in one purification state flows through each pipeline. If water in two purification states flows in, it can be considered secondary pollution.

[0052] As an extended solution of this embodiment, the first water outlet pipeline 251 has a first main water outlet pipeline 2511 and a first branch pipeline 2512, the second water outlet pipeline 252 has a second main water outlet pipeline 2521 and a second branch pipeline 2522. The first main water outlet pipeline 2511 and the second main water outlet pipeline 2521 are respectively connected to the first water storage chamber 202 and the second water storage chamber 202. Among them, the first branch pipeline 2512 and the second branch pipeline 2522 are connected to two cold water buckets 260.

[0053] It can be concluded from the above that the small kitchen water heater in this embodiment can supply hot water, normal temperature water, or cold water with different purification degrees at the same time.

[0054] An integrated intelligent kitchen appliance, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cabinet body 300 has a second water inlet 301 and two water outlets 302. Among them, a small kitchen water heater with a water purification function as described in any one of the above is arranged in the cabinet body 300.

[0055] That is, the small kitchen water heater is used as an application unit of the integrated intelligent kitchen appliance.

[0056] A cleaning area and a drinking water area are arranged on the cabinet body 300. The two water outlets 302 are respectively arranged in the cleaning area and the drinking water area, and each water outlet 302 is communicated with a water purification outlet 102. The external water source enters the small kitchen water heater through the first water inlet 101 and the second water inlet 301 and then is transported to the cleaning area or the drinking water area.

[0057] Therefore, the small kitchen water heater or the integrated intelligent kitchen appliance of the present invention can supply hot water or normal temperature water with different purification degrees simultaneously in the cleaning area or the drinking water area.

[0058] In order to meet the application requirements, generally, the water consumption in the cleaning area is large, and the heating module 203 is arranged in the water storage cavity 202 corresponding to the cleaning area.

[0059] In addition, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the integrated intelligent kitchen appliance is generally installed to adapt to the application scenario. For example, when the integrated intelligent kitchen appliance is installed in the kitchen, there are usually water pipes in the kitchen. To adapt to the shape of the water pipes, a U-shaped groove 130 is arranged on one side of the housing 100, which is convenient for the installation of the integrated intelligent kitchen appliance. Because of the shape matching, the integrated intelligent kitchen appliance does not occupy space.

[0060] Furthermore, the U-shaped groove divides the inside of the housing 100 into a filtering area 131 and a water storage area. The filtering area 131 is used to install filtering devices, such as the water purification component 200, etc., and the water storage area 132 is used to install water storage devices, such as the water storage bucket 201, etc.
