[0032] The present invention is based on the findings of the inventors of the present application regarding the following facts and problems:
[0033] In the water purification equipment in the related art, the display device is set on the main unit. However, since the main unit is usually set inside a cabinet or under a countertop, it has poor interactivity with people. When taking water, the user needs to specifically check the display screen on the main unit to obtain relevant parameters, which causes trouble to the user.
[0034] For this reason, some water purification equipment has a display device installed on a water outlet device such as a faucet, but it only includes a purified water outlet water path. When a user needs to use domestic water or other water that does not require purified water, only purified water can be discharged, which cannot meet the user's need for domestic water only, resulting in a waste of purified water.
[0035] In addition, some water purification equipment, such as RO membrane filter element water purification equipment, will produce concentrated water during the water purification process. The concentrated water can meet the domestic water requirements after simple filtration. If it is directly discharged into the sewer, it will lead to a waste of water resources.
[0036] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.
[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0039] The water outlet device 1 of a water purification device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the water outlet device 1 of the water purification equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body 100 , a living water valve core 200 , a purification water valve core 300 , a living water handle 400 , a purification water handle 500 and a display assembly 600 .
[0041] The main body 100 is connected with a clean water inlet pipe 120, a domestic water inlet pipe 110 and a water outlet pipe 130. The clean water valve core 300 is movably arranged in the main body 100 to control the on-off of the water outlet pipe 130 and the clean water inlet pipe 120. The domestic water valve core 200 is movably arranged in the main body 100 to control the on-off of the water outlet pipe 130 and the domestic water inlet pipe 110. The clean water handle 500 is movably arranged on the main body 100 and is transmission-connected with the clean water valve core 300. The domestic water handle 400 is movably arranged on the main body 100 and is transmission-connected with the domestic water valve core 200. The display assembly 600 is connected to the main body 100, and the display assembly 600 is used to display the information of the water flow and / or filter element in the water purification device.
[0042] Specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, the domestic water inlet pipe 110 is connected to a domestic water source, such as concentrated water or tap water, and the purified water inlet pipe 120 is connected to a purified water source treated by a water purification device.
[0043] The domestic water handle 400 is movable to synchronously adjust the on-off state of the domestic water valve core 200. The purified water handle 500 is movable to synchronously adjust the on-off state of the purified water valve core 300.
[0044] In other words, the domestic water inlet pipe 110 and the outlet pipe 130 have a connected and disconnected state. In the connected state, the water flow in the domestic water inlet pipe 110 can flow to the outlet pipe 130. In the disconnected state, the water flow in the domestic water inlet pipe 110 is blocked by the domestic water valve core 200 and cannot flow to the outlet pipe 130. By adjusting the domestic water handle 400, the on-off state of the domestic water valve core 200 can be adjusted to control the connection and disconnection of the domestic water inlet pipe 110 and the outlet pipe 130. The clean water inlet pipe 120 and the water outlet pipe 130 have a connected and disconnected state. In the connected state, the water flow in the clean water inlet pipe 120 can flow to the water outlet pipe 130. In the disconnected state, the water flow in the clean water inlet pipe 120 is blocked by the clean water valve core 300 and cannot flow to the water outlet pipe 130. By adjusting the clean water handle 500, the on-off state of the clean water valve core 300 can be adjusted to control the connection and disconnection of the clean water inlet pipe 120 and the water outlet pipe 130.
[0045] For example, the display component 600 can be used to display the information of the water flow in the water purification device, the display component 600 can also be used to display the information of the filter element in the water purification device, and the display component 600 can also be used to display the information of the water flow and the filter element in the water purification device. The water flow information includes but is not limited to the TDS (Total dissolved solids, also known as the total dissolved solids), pH and temperature before and after the water flows through the filter element, and the filter element information includes but is not limited to the life of the filter element.
[0046] It can be understood that when the user operates the water purifier, the user usually operates the water outlet device 1 of the water purifier. Therefore, the interaction frequency between the water outlet device 1 and the user is relatively high. The user also faces the water outlet device 1 when receiving water. It is more convenient for the user to observe the water outlet device 1 rather than the host. Therefore, by connecting the display component 600 to the main body 100, the user can intuitively observe the information displayed on the display component 6000 when taking water, which is convenient for the user to obtain relevant information.
[0047] According to the water outlet device 1 of the water purification equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the display component 600 on the water outlet device 1, the user can directly observe the relevant information displayed on the display component 600 when taking water, without going through tedious steps to check the position of the display device on the host, which facilitates the user to obtain relevant information.
[0048] Furthermore, by separately setting up a domestic water path and a purified water path, the user can selectively take purified water or domestic water according to actual needs. When the user needs purified water, the user operates the purified water handle 500 to take purified water, and when the user needs domestic water, the user operates the domestic water handle 400 to take domestic water. Compared with a water outlet device with only a purified water path, when the user only needs domestic water, domestic water such as tap water or concentrated water can be called upon to avoid frequent use of purified water. On the one hand, the water outlet flow rate of domestic water can be guaranteed, on the other hand, the waste of water resources can be avoided, and on the other hand, frequent use of water purification equipment can be avoided to reduce energy consumption and extend the service life of the water purification equipment.
[0049] Therefore, the water outlet device 1 of the water purification equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention can select purified water or domestic water, and has the advantages of convenient information observation, water saving and energy saving, etc.
[0050] The water outlet device 1 of a water purification device according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the water outlet device 1 of the water purification equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body 100 , a living water valve core 200 , a purification water valve core 300 , a living water handle 400 , a purification water handle 500 and a display assembly 600 .
[0052] It is understood by those skilled in the art that when a user uses purified water, the water pressure in the purified water circuit in the water purification device, such as the purified water inlet pipe 120 or the purified water container, will drop. Therefore, the display component 600 can be turned on or off by detecting the water pressure in the purified water circuit. Specifically, when the water pressure in the purified water circuit drops to a predetermined value, it indicates that the user is using purified water, and the display component 600 is controlled to turn on to display relevant information to the user, so as to avoid wasting energy and reducing the service life of the display component 600 by opening it for a long time.
[0053] However, the inventors of the present application have discovered that when a user uses domestic water, the domestic water source comes from tap water or concentrated water, and it is difficult to control the opening or closing of the display assembly 600 by detecting changes in water pressure.
[0054] To this end, specifically, Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, one of the water handle 400 and the body 100 is provided with a magnetic member 710 and the other is provided with a magnetic sensing device 720, and the magnetic sensing device 720 is electrically connected to the display assembly 600. In this way, the magnetic sensing device 720 can be used to detect the relative position change of the magnetic member 710, so as to determine whether the user operates the water handle 400, so as to control the opening and closing of the display assembly 600, and avoid the display assembly 600 being opened for a long time, resulting in energy waste and reduced service life.
[0055] More specifically, Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic member 710 is constructed so that the magnetic field strength at the magnetic sensing device 720 changes with the movement of the living water handle 400, and the magnetic sensing device 720 controls the display assembly 600 to be turned on or off according to the change in the detection value. In this way, when the user operates the living water handle 400, the relative position of the magnetic member 710 and the magnetic sensing device 720 changes, so that the magnetic sensing device 720 detects the change in the magnetic field strength of the magnetic member 710, so as to realize the control of the opening and closing timing of the display assembly 600.
[0056] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the magnetic member 710 and the magnetic sensing device 720 may also determine the activity of the domestic water handle 400 by other means, such as a reed switch.
[0057] Alternatively, if Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the water handle 400 is movable between the open position and the closed position. When the water handle 400 is in the open position, the water valve core 200 conducts the water outlet pipe 130 and the water inlet pipe 110. When the water handle 400 is in the closed position, the water valve core 200 disconnects the water outlet pipe 130 and the water inlet pipe 110. The magnetic member 710 is configured to make the change in the detection value of the magnetic sensing device 720 reach the maximum value when the water handle 400 moves from the open position to the closed position or from the closed position to the open position. This makes it easier for the magnetic sensing device 720 to detect the active position of the water handle 400, improves the accuracy of the detection, and accurately controls the opening timing of the display assembly 600.
[0058] Advantageously, if Figure 3-Figure 6As shown, the magnetic sensing device 720 is a Hall sensor, the water handle 400 is rotatably mounted on the body 100, and the magnetic member 710 is a fan-shaped linear magnet. In this way, the position of the magnetic member 710 can be changed by rotating the water handle 400, thereby changing the magnetic field strength of the magnetic member 710 at the magnetic sensing device 720, which is convenient for improving the accuracy of the magnetic sensing device 720 in detecting the position of the water handle 400.
[0059] More advantageously, if Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic field strength of the magnetic member 710 on its circumferential center line 711 is 0, and the circumferential center line 711 of the magnetic member 710 divides the magnetic member 710 into a first section 712 and a second section 713. The radial inner side of the first section 712 is an N pole and the radial outer side is an S pole, and the radial inner side of the second section 713 is an S pole and the radial outer side is an N pole. In this way, the magnetic member 710 can form a change in magnetic field strength at the magnetic induction device 720, thereby further improving the accuracy of the control of the display component 600.
[0060] Specifically, the radius R1 of the inner circumference of the magnetic member 710 is 8.5 mm, and the radius R2 of the outer circumference is 11 mm. The sector angle of the magnetic member 710 is greater than 110 degrees. The magnetic field strength of the outer circumference of the first section 712 is 950 Gs at the S pole, and the magnetic field strength of the inner circumference is 640 Gs at the N pole. The magnetic field strength of the outer circumference of the second section 713 is 950 Gs at the N pole, and the magnetic field strength of the inner circumference is 640 Gs at the S pole. The inner and outer ends of the circumferential center line 711 of the magnetic member 710 are both 0 Gs.
[0061] Figure 1-Figure 6 FIG. 1 shows a water outlet device 1 of a water purification device according to a specific example of the present invention. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic member 710 is mounted on the domestic water handle 400 by two threaded fasteners 730 located at both ends. This makes it easier to install the magnetic member 710.
[0062] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the living water handle 400 includes a living water handle rod 420 and a living water handle seat 410, the living water handle seat 410 is rotatably mounted on the body 100, the living water handle rod 420 is connected to the living water handle seat 410, and the magnetic member 710 is mounted in the living water handle seat 410. In this way, the living water handle seat 410 can be used to accommodate and protect the magnetic member 710 to prevent the magnetic member 710 from being exposed.
[0063] Specifically, the magnetic sensing device 720 is also installed in the living water handle seat 410, and is located directly below the magnetic member 710 when the living water handle rod 420 is in a vertical position.
[0064] Advantageously, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer diameter of the connection between the purified water inlet pipe 120 and the body 100 is not equal to the outer diameter of the connection between the domestic water inlet pipe 110 and the body 100. This can prevent the purified water inlet pipe 120 and the domestic water inlet pipe 110 from being mixed up and installed incorrectly, avoid the domestic water from being discharged when the purified water is taken, and ensure the reliability of the water outlet device 1.
[0065] More specifically, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the body 100 includes an inner core 140 and an outer shell 150. The inner core 140 is provided with a clean water channel 143, a domestic water channel 142 and an outlet water channel 141. The outer shell 150 is sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the inner core 140. The clean water inlet pipe 120 is connected to the lower end of the inner core 140 and communicates with the clean water channel 143 (the up and down directions are shown by the arrows in the figure and are only for the convenience of description, not for the actual setting direction.), the domestic water inlet pipe 110 is connected to the lower end of the inner core 140 and communicates with the domestic water channel 142, and the outlet pipe 130 is connected to the upper end of the inner core 140 and communicates with the outlet water channel 141. Specifically, the life water valve core 200 is rotatably disposed on the inner core 140 and controls the opening and closing of the life water channel 142 and the outlet water channel 141, and the clean water valve core 300 is rotatably disposed on the inner core 140 and controls the opening and closing of the clean water channel 143 and the outlet water channel 141. This facilitates the arrangement of the water outlet device 1 and the formation of each water channel, and the inner core 140 separates the water flow, effectively preventing the water flow from flowing to the display component 600.
[0066] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the living water valve core 200 and the purified water valve core 300 can be opposite to each other in the circumferential direction of the inner core 140 and their central axes can coincide with each other. This can make the appearance of the water outlet device 1 more symmetrical and beautiful.
[0067] More advantageously, if Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the housing 150 is provided with a protrusion 151 protruding outward from the peripheral surface of the housing 150, and a display screen installation groove 152 is formed on the protrusion 151. The display assembly 600 includes a display screen 610 and a wire 620, and the wire 620 is electrically connected to the display screen 610. The display screen 610 is installed in the display screen installation groove 152. A wire groove is provided between the housing 150 and the inner core 140, and the wire 620 is suitable for passing through the wire groove. This can facilitate the installation of the display assembly 600 and the user to observe the display screen 610.
[0068] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the display assembly 600 includes a display screen 610, which is arranged obliquely relative to the body 100, and the display screen 610 gradually approaches the body 100 from bottom to top. This makes it easier for the user to observe the display screen 610. It can be understood that the display screen 610 is generally lower than the user's eyes. When the display screen 610 is arranged as described above, when the user lowers his head, the line of sight is vertical or substantially vertical to the display screen 610, which makes it easier for the user to observe the display screen 610 without squatting to observe.
[0069] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the display screen 610 and the body 100 are arranged perpendicular to each other. This also makes it easier for the user to observe the display screen 610.
[0070] The display screen 610 of the display assembly 600 faces upward, which is convenient for users to view the information displayed by the display assembly. In addition, the display assembly 600 is arranged to protrude from the body 100, which can effectively avoid the body 100 from blocking the line of sight, and is more conducive to the user to observe the display assembly.
[0071] In some embodiments, the water outlet pipe 130 is rotatably connected to the body 100, and the water outlet pipe 130 and the water outlet channel 141 remain sealed when the water outlet pipe 130 rotates relative to the body 100. The water outlet pipe 130 is arranged to be rotatably connected to the body 100. When the user needs to take water, the water outlet pipe 130 can be rotated to make the water outlet pipe 130 in different positions, and a better angle can be selected in these positions for the user to take water, or the water outlet pipe 130 can be rotated when it is not necessary to take water, and the water outlet pipe 130 is rotated to a suitable position, thereby freeing up space for the user to perform other activities, avoiding interference with other activities of the user when the user performs other activities, such as washing or washing vegetables and fruits at a sink. Among them, keeping the water outlet pipe 130 and the water outlet channel 141 sealed can ensure that when the water outlet pipe 130 is rotated, the water flow will not flow out from the gap between the water outlet channel 141 and the water outlet pipe 130.
[0072] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, at least one sealing ring 131 is provided on the water outlet pipe 60, and the sealing ring 131 protrudes from the outer surface of the water outlet pipe 130. When the water outlet pipe 130 is assembled to the body 100, the sealing ring 131 is compressed to ensure the sealing between the water outlet pipe 130 and the water outlet channel 141. The sealing ring 131 can ensure its sealing performance, and effectively prevent water from flowing out of the gap between the water outlet pipe 130 and the water outlet channel 141. Among them, the sealing ring 131 can be one, or it can be multiple sealing rings 131 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 130. The multiple sealing rings 131 can further ensure the sealing performance and prevent water leakage.
[0073] The sealing ring 131 may be an elastic rubber or silicone ring, so that it can ensure that the water outlet pipe 130 can rotate relative to the main body 100 to reduce abnormal noise and ensure the sealing performance during compression.
[0074] In some optional embodiments, the display screen 610 is a touch screen, that is, corresponding operations can be performed by touching the display screen 610 .
[0075] In some embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the valve core (the domestic water valve core 200, the purified water valve core 300) is fixedly connected to the handle (the domestic water handle 400, the purified water handle 500), and the handle is rotatably connected to the body 100. When the handle is rotated, the valve core is driven to rotate to adjust the on-off state of the valve core. The valve core is fixedly connected to the handle. When the handle is turned, the handle drives the valve core to rotate. When the valve core rotates, the on-off state of the water outlet 141, the domestic water channel 142, and the purified water channel 143 changes or the connecting aperture changes. In this way, the handle can be used to adjust whether the water flows out and the size of the water flow.
[0076] Of course, the above embodiments are merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, the on-off state of the valve core may also be adjusted by flipping the handle.
[0077] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the water purification handle 500 includes a water purification handle seat 510 and a water purification handle rod 520, the water purification handle seat 510 and the water purification handle rod 520 are connected by threads, and the living water handle seat 410 and the living water handle rod 420 are connected by threads, wherein the water purification handle seat 510 is provided with internal threads, and the water purification handle rod 520 is provided with external threads. In this way, it is convenient to set the handle in the form of threaded connection.
[0078] Of course, the water purification handle seat 510 and the water purification handle rod 520 can also be an integrally formed part, and the living water handle seat 410 and the living water handle rod 420 can also be an integrally formed part, reducing the assembly steps.
[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the life water valve core 200 extends out of the body 100 and extends into the life water handle seat 410, the water purification valve core 300 extends out of the body 100 and extends into the water purification handle seat 510, the ends of the life water valve core 200 and the water purification valve core 300 are connected to the limiter 810, the water purification handle 500 and the life water handle 400 are provided with a limiter groove, and the limiter 810 is suitable for extending into the limiter groove so that when the handle is rotated, the valve core can be driven to rotate by the limiter 810. When the handle is applied with force so that the handle drives the handle seat to rotate, due to the involvement of the limiter 810, the limiter 810 rotates under the drive of the handle, and the limiter 810 rotates to drive the valve core fixedly connected to the limiter 810 to rotate, thereby adjusting the on-off state of the valve core.
[0080] In the above embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the limiting member 810 can be a hexagon socket screw, and a threaded hole is provided at the end of the valve core. The hexagon socket screw cooperates with the threaded hole, and the hexagon socket screw extends into the limiting groove. In this way, when the handle is rotated, the hexagon socket screw can be driven to rotate due to the limiting effect of the hexagon socket screw.
[0081] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a valve core installation groove is provided in the body 100, and the valve core is installed in the valve core installation groove. The valve core is locked in the valve core installation groove through a locking member 820, wherein the inner wall surface of the valve core installation groove is provided with an internal thread, and the outer peripheral surface of the locking member 820 is provided with an external thread, and the external thread is adapted to the internal thread. The locking member 820 locks the valve core in the valve core installation groove, which can prevent the valve core 20 from slipping out of the valve core installation groove along its axial direction, so that the installation of the valve core 20 is stable.
[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, a step is formed on the valve core, and the locking member 820 abuts against the step in the locked state. This can effectively prevent the valve core from axially slipping out of the mounting groove. There can be multiple steps, and the multiple steps are in a shape with a reduced cross section in the direction away from the mounting groove, thereby improving the connection stability.
[0083] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the ends of the domestic water inlet pipe 110 and the purified water inlet pipe 120 are provided with connecting lugs 121, and screw holes 122 are provided on the connecting lugs 121. The main body 100 is provided with mounting holes corresponding to the screw holes 122, and the domestic water inlet pipe 110 and the purified water inlet pipe 120 are connected to the main body 100 by screws. In this way, the domestic water inlet pipe 110 and the purified water inlet pipe 120 can be fixedly connected to the main body 100, and the screw connection can make the connection stable. Among them, by providing the connecting lugs 121, the installation position can be staggered with the pipeline, making the installation simple.
[0084] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, the screw holes 122 include at least two spaced apart, and the screw holes 122 are arranged corresponding to the mounting holes. This can effectively prevent rotation and improve connection stability. For example, the screw holes 122 can be two, three, four or even more.
[0085] In some embodiments, the ends of the domestic water inlet pipe 110 and the purified water inlet pipe 120 are provided with a connecting protrusion, and one of a limiting protrusion and a limiting groove is provided on the connecting protrusion, and the body 100 is provided with the other of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove, and the limiting protrusion is suitable for extending into the limiting groove. This can play a role of pre-positioning on the one hand, facilitating subsequent installation, and on the other hand, it can prevent the water inlet pipe from rotating relative to the body 100, avoiding the situation where the line is broken due to winding.
[0086] In some embodiments, the first limiting protrusions include at least two spaced apart, and the limiting grooves are provided corresponding to the limiting protrusions. Providing at least two limiting protrusions can effectively prevent rotation and improve connection stability. For example, the limiting protrusions can be two, three, four or even more.
[0087] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a threaded sleeve 900, which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the domestic water inlet pipe 110 and the purified water inlet pipe 120 to protect the water inlet pipe. By setting the threaded sleeve 900, the threaded sleeve 900 can protect the water inlet pipe. It can be understood that the material of the water inlet pipe is usually plastic, and the water inlet pipe is to be installed on the table, and its structural strength is not high. When the water inlet pipe is directly fixed on the table, it is easy to cause structural damage to the water inlet pipe. Therefore, it is necessary to set the threaded sleeve 900 to protect the water inlet pipe, and the water outlet device 1 is connected to the table through the threaded sleeve 900.
[0088] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, one of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove is provided on the threaded sleeve 900, and the other of the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove is provided on the body 100, and the limiting protrusion is suitable for cooperating with the limiting groove to prevent the threaded sleeve 900 from rotating relative to the body 100. By providing the limiting protrusion and the limiting groove, the threaded sleeve 900 can be effectively prevented from rotating relative to the body 100 during assembly, which facilitates the positioning and installation of the threaded sleeve 900.
[0089] In some embodiments, the threaded sleeve 900 and the water inlet pipe 50 are spaced apart to form a wire gap, and the wire 620 is suitable for passing through the body 100 and extending into the wire gap, wherein the threaded sleeve 900 and the body 100 are locked to the body 100 via a locking member 830.
[0090] In some embodiments, the body 100 is provided with a mounting groove, the end surface of the threaded sleeve 900 is provided with a flange extending radially outward, the flange extends into the mounting groove, and the locking member 830 clamps the flange between the locking member 830 and the body 100 in the locked state. That is, the threaded sleeve 900 and the body 100 are assembled in a non-relative rotational manner, so as to avoid the situation that the wire 620 between the threaded sleeve 900 and the water inlet pipe is driven to rotate and become tangled when rotating, and the probability of wire breakage during installation is effectively reduced.
[0091] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the surface of the body 100 that contacts the table is also provided with a sealing gasket 840. When the water outlet device 1 is installed on the table, the sealing gasket 840 is compressed to prevent the accumulated water on the table from passing through the gap between the sealing gasket 840 and the table. In this way, water can be effectively prevented from flowing from the table to the threaded sleeve 900.
[0092] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a locking nut assembly 850. When the water outlet device 1 is installed on the table, the locking nut assembly 850 is used to clamp the table between the body 100 and the locking nut assembly 850. Specifically, the locking nut assembly 850 has an internal thread, and the threaded sleeve 900 has an external thread. The locking nut assembly 850 is tightened to install the water outlet device 1 on the table.
[0093] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the outer periphery of the locking nut assembly 850 is also provided with a plurality of convex ribs arranged at intervals. In this way, it is convenient to apply force, and the locking nut assembly 850 can be installed by hand, which is convenient for assembly.
[0094] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the locking nut assembly 850 includes a pressing plate 851 and a locking nut 853. The threaded sleeve 900 is configured to be a non-absolute cylindrical shape having two relative planes. The inner hole shape of the pressing plate 851 is adapted to the shape of the threaded sleeve 900. The locking nut 853 pushes the pressing plate 851 to move toward the table surface during the tightening process. When the locking nut 853 is tightened, the pressing plate 851 approaches the table surface until the pressing plate 851 abuts against the table surface. In this way, the table surface can be stably clamped between the pressing plate 851 and the body 100, so that the installation of the water outlet device 1 is stable.
[0095] In some embodiments, Figure 3As shown, the pressing plate 851 is provided with a hook extending toward the locking nut 853. When the locking nut 853 is in the locked state, the hook is hooked on the locking nut 853 to prevent the locking nut 853 from being loosened, wherein the hook is directly opposite to the plane on the threaded sleeve 900. It can be understood that since the pressing plate 851 and the locking nut 853 cannot rotate relative to each other, and the locking nut 853 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 851 by the hook, the locking nut 853 forms a whole with the pressing plate 851 after being locked, that is, the locking nut 853 can no longer rotate relative to the threaded sleeve 900, which can effectively prevent the locking nut from being loosened, and further enables the water outlet device 1 to be stably installed on the table.
[0096] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the locking nut assembly 850 also includes a washer 852, which is elastic and is sandwiched between the pressure plate 851 and the locking nut 853 to provide a buffer when the locking nut 853 is locked. When the locking nut 853 rotates, it can compress the washer 852 to play a pre-tightening role, and the washer 852 provides a buffering effect, which can prevent the pressure plate 851 from being subjected to a large force and causing structural damage. In addition, the inner hole cross-section of the washer 852 is contoured with the threaded sleeve 900, so that it only moves upward during the tightening process of the locking nut 853, which can well prevent the wire from being entangled and prevent the locking nut 853 from loosening.
[0097] In a specific embodiment, three rubber sealing rings 131 are provided on the water outlet pipe 130. One end of the sealing ring 131 is assembled into a pit inside the water outlet channel 141 and can be rotated 360° to facilitate the user to choose the water intake direction. Its main function is to serve as a water passage.
[0098] The handle bar, handle seat and hexagon socket screw belong to the operating part. The handle seat can be put on the non-circular protrusion of the valve core, so that the protrusion of the valve core can move in a circle with the handle seat to realize the switch function. The function of the hexagon socket screw is to fasten the handle seat with the protrusion of the valve core. The screw is tightened in conjunction with a threaded through hole on the handle seat. After passing through the threaded hole, it directly contacts the protrusion of the valve core, and the protrusion of the valve core is pressed by the tightening force to achieve fastening. The handle bar is threadedly connected to a hole on the handle seat, which is equivalent to extending the force arm. Its function is to reduce the force required for the user to switch.
[0099] The threaded sleeve is a hollow pipe with threads, so that the water inlet pipe and data wires can pass through the middle. One end of the threaded sleeve has multiple (such as 4) protrusions, which overlap into multiple (such as 4) corresponding grooves of the body for rotational positioning. The threaded part of the threaded sleeve is a non-cylindrical body with two flat sides, which is used to limit the rotation of the pressure plate.
[0100] The sealing gasket 840 is a rubber gasket installed between the main body and the countertop to prevent water from seeping into the kitchen from the assembly gap.
[0101] The locking nut assembly consists of three parts: a pressure plate, a locking nut and a washer. The pressure plate has an arc surface on the top and two large buckles on the bottom to match the end face of the locking nut. There is a 3mm gap between the pressure plate and the buckle. The gap is used to place the washer, which provides the preload force. The through-hole section of the part is contoured to the threaded sleeve, so that it only moves upward during the tightening process of the locking nut, which can well prevent the wire from being entangled and the nut from loosening. After the tightening is completed, the locking nut is prevented from loosening. The locking nut is an annular part with a threaded thread on the inner ring and multiple (such as 4) ribs on the outer ring. The threaded thread is used to cooperate with the threaded sleeve for tightening. The role of the ribs is to make the installation more labor-saving and can be installed by hand without special tools. The function of the entire assembly is to cooperate with the threaded sleeve to fasten the entire faucet to the countertop.
[0102] The water inlet end of the water inlet pipe is a quick connector with a claw, so users can quickly complete the insertion action. The water outlet end is sealed and connected to the body, and fastened with two screws. There are two grooves on the screw boss, which form a fool-proof structure with the three small cylinders of the body to prevent wrong installation.

[0105] Specifically, the water purification device also includes a host and a sensing device. A filter element is arranged in the host. The sensing device is used to sense the information when the water flow does not flow through the filter element and / or sense the information after the water flow flows through the filter element. The display component 600 is connected to the sensing device signal, and the display component 600 is used to display the information sensed by the sensing device. In this way, it is convenient to feed back the relevant information to the user through the display component 600. The above information may include but is not limited to the pH value and TDS value of the water flow. The user can intuitively observe the information of the water flow, and the user can feel more assured when using it for drinking or other purposes.
[0106] More specifically, a pressure sensor is provided on the host, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the display assembly, and the pressure sensor is used to detect the water pressure of the water purification circuit. When the detection value of the pressure sensor is less than or equal to a predetermined pressure, the display assembly 600 is controlled to turn on. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the "water purification circuit" can be a pipeline for guiding purified water or a purified water container for storing purified water.
