Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water purifiers, in particular to a front-mounted water purifier with double filter elements. BACKGROUND

[0002] The front-mounted water purifier is generally installed at the front end of the pipeline, which can effectively filter out harmful substances such as silt, rust, bacteria, colloids, and macromolecular organic matter in water, and retain minerals and trace elements beneficial to the human body. The water quality after purification meets the national standard for drinking water. At the same time, the front-mounted water purifier can actively protect downstream pipelines, water heaters, washing machines and other water-using electrical appliances.

[0003] Nowadays, the front-mounted water purifier generally includes a head, a cup cover, and a filter element, wherein the head is provided with a water inlet connector and a water outlet connector for connecting to the household water inlet pipeline. The working principle of the front-mounted water purifier is to make the water flow into the inside of the cup cover, then filter through the filter element, and then discharge the purified water from the water outlet connector, which can achieve the effect of filtering the raw water.

[0004] However, although the front-mounted water purifier can filter impurities in water, the filter element itself will hinder the water flow to some extent, reducing the water flow and thus bringing a poor experience to the user. For example, when the user needs to use water to clean household items, the water quality requirement is not high at this time, and the raw water can be used directly, but the installation of the front-mounted water purifier reduces the water flow, thereby reducing the user's water efficiency. For another example, when the user needs to take a shower, since it is not directly for drinking, the requirement for water quality is not high, and the raw water does not need to be filtered to the drinking standard. In view of this, since the water demand at home is different, the requirement for water quality is different, and the existing front-mounted water purifier cannot adjust the filtering degree of the raw water according to the user's demand, therefore, we propose a front-mounted water purifier with double filter elements to solve the above problems.

[0043] ​Further, the bottom inner side of the cup cover 200 is provided with a partition plate 201, and the inner filter cup 301 and the outer filter cup 302 are fixedly arranged on the partition plate 201, as shown in FIG. 2.

[0044] The embodiment further includes an adjusting mechanism 400 movably arranged in the inner portion of the cup cover 200. The adjusting mechanism 400 includes an inner shielding sleeve 401 and an outer shielding sleeve 402. The inner shielding sleeve 401 is attached to the outer portion of the inner filter cup 301, and the outer shielding sleeve 402 is attached to the outer portion of the outer filter cup 302, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 8 Specifically, the inner shielding sleeve 401 is sealingly attached to the outer surface of the inner filter cup 301, and the outer shielding sleeve 402 is sealingly attached to the outer surface of the outer filter cup 302. Moreover, the bottom ends of the inner shielding sleeve 401 and the outer shielding sleeve 402 are sealingly attached to the upper surface of the partition plate 201. The bottom ends of the inner shielding sleeve 401 and the outer shielding sleeve 402 are provided with connecting rods 403, and the partition plate 201 is provided with sliding openings 202 through which the connecting rods 403 pass, as shown in FIG. 2. The bottom ends of the connecting rods 403 pass through the sliding openings 202 and extend below the partition plate 201. Figure 10

[0045] Further, the bottom of the cup cover 200 is further provided with a control assembly 500 for driving the adjusting mechanism 400 to rotate. The control assembly 500 includes a positioning disc 501 and a knob 502, as shown in FIG. 2.

The bottom ends of the connecting rods 403 are fixedly connected to the positioning disc 501 by bolts. Specifically, the knob 502 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the cup cover 200 by a bearing. When the knob 502 is rotated by an operator, the inner shielding sleeve 401 and the outer shielding sleeve 402 are simultaneously rotated. Figure 11

[0046] ​​Specifically, when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the first state, the water in the first cavity can directly enter the third cavity without passing through the inner filter screen 303 and the outer filter screen 304; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the second state, the water in the first cavity can enter the third cavity only by passing through the outer filter screen 304; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the third state, the water in the first cavity can enter the third cavity by passing through the outer filter screen 304 and the inner filter screen 303 in sequence; and when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the fourth state, the water in the first cavity can first enter the second cavity, and then enter the third cavity by passing through the outer filter screen 304.

[0047] That is, in the first state, the water flow is directly discharged without filtration, in which state the water flow speed is the fastest, and the state is suitable for the case where the water quality is not required; in the second state, the water flow is discharged after being filtered on one side, in which state the water flow speed is slightly slower, and the state is suitable for the case where the water quality is not required to be high; in the third state, the water flow is discharged after being filtered twice, in which state the water flow speed is the slowest, and the state is suitable for the case where the water quality is required to be high; and in the fourth state, the water flow passes through the outer filter screen 304 from inside to outside, and the state is suitable for cleaning the impurities on the surface of the outer filter screen.

[0048] The state switching of the adjusting mechanism 400 is described below.

[0049] The top of the inner filter cup 301 is provided with a first through hole 305 and a second through hole 306, as shown in Figure 6 , the first through hole 305 and the second through hole 306 are both two, and the top of the inner shielding sleeve 401 is provided with a first through hole 404; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the first state, the first through hole 404 and the first through hole 305 are aligned, and when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the second state, the first through hole 404 and the second through hole 306 are aligned. When the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the third state and the fourth state, the first through hole 404 is not aligned with the first through hole 305 and the second through hole 306.

[0050] In addition, the two sides of the inner shielding sleeve 401 are symmetrically provided with a first water inlet 405, and the two first water inlets 405 are respectively and one-to-one corresponding to the two inner filter screens 303, as shown in Figure 12 ; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the third state, the first water inlet 405 and the corresponding inner filter screen 303 are aligned, and when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the first state, the second state and the fourth state, the first water inlet 405 and the corresponding inner filter screen 303 are all distributed in a staggered manner; that is, only in the third state, the water entering the second cavity will pass through the inner filter screen 303 to enter the third cavity, and in the first state and the second state, the water entering the second cavity will enter the third cavity from the first through hole 305 and the second through hole 306, respectively; and in the fourth state, the first through hole 305, the second through hole 306 and the inner filter screen 303 are all in a closed state.

[0051] On the other hand, the top of the outer filter cup 302 is provided with a third through hole 307 and a fourth through hole 308, as shown, both of which have two, and the top of the outer shielding sleeve 402 is provided with a second through hole 406; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the first state, the second through hole 406 and the third through hole 307 are aligned, when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the fourth state, the second through hole 406 and the fourth through hole 308 are aligned, and when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the second state and the third state, the second through hole 406 and the third through hole 307 and the fourth through hole 308 are not aligned. Figure 6

[0052] The two sides of the outer shielding sleeve 402 are symmetrically provided with a second water inlet 407, and the two second water inlets 407 are respectively and one-to-one corresponding to the two outer filter screens 304; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the first state, the second water inlet 407 and the corresponding outer filter screen 304 are distributed in a staggered manner, and when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the second state, the third state and the fourth state, the two second water inlets 407 are respectively and correspondingly aligned with the outer filter screen 304. That is, only in the first state, the outer filter screen 304 is in a closed state, and in the remaining states, water flow can pass through the outer filter screen 304.

[0053] It should be noted that when the adjusting mechanism 400 is switched from the first state to the second state, it needs to be counterclockwise rotated by 30°, and when the adjusting mechanism 400 is switched from the second state to the third state, and from the third state to the fourth state, it needs to be rotated by 30° respectively. Specifically, when the adjusting mechanism 400 is in the first state, since the outer filter screen 304 and the inner filter screen 303 are both in a closed state, the water entering the first cavity can pass through the third through hole 307 and the first through hole 305 in turn and enter the third cavity; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is in the second state, the water flow can pass through the outer filter screen 304 into the second cavity, and then pass through the second through hole 306 into the third cavity; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is in the third state, the water flow can pass through the outer filter screen 304 and the inner filter screen 303 in turn into the third cavity.

[0054] ​In another embodiment of the present application, the outer part of the outer shielding sleeve 402 is further sleeved with a water closing cover 203, the bottom end of the water closing cover 203 is fixedly connected with the partition plate 201, the top part of the water closing cover 203 is sealingly attached with the outer shielding sleeve 402, the gap between the water closing cover 203 and the outer shielding sleeve 402 constitutes a fourth cavity, the side wall of the water closing cover 203 is further provided with a water closing opening 204, and the outer side wall of the outer shielding sleeve 402 is fixedly connected with a water closing plate 408 which is adapted to the water closing opening 204; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the fourth state, the water closing plate 408 is aligned and attached with the water closing opening 204. That is, when the adjusting mechanism 400 is in the first state, the second state and the third state, the water entering the first cavity can smoothly enter the fourth cavity through the water closing opening 204, and when the adjusting mechanism 400 is in the fourth state, the water flow can enter the second cavity through the fourth through hole 308, and then reversely pass through the outer filter screen 304 to enter the fourth cavity.

[0055] Further, the top wall of the water closing cover 203 is provided with a water outlet hole 205, and the top wall of the water closing cover 203 is further provided with a water outlet pipe 206 which is aligned with the water outlet hole 205, the free end of the water outlet pipe 206 penetrates the outer filter cup 302 and the inner filter cup 301 and extends into the third cavity, the outer part of the outer shielding sleeve 402 is fixedly sleeved with a butt joint ring 409, the butt joint ring 409 is provided with a butt joint hole 410, and the top surface of the butt joint ring 409 is sealingly attached with the inner top surface of the water closing cover 203; when the adjusting mechanism 400 is rotated to the fourth state, the butt joint hole 410 is aligned with the water outlet hole 205. When the adjusting mechanism 400 is in the first state, the second state and the third state, the butt joint hole 410 is always misaligned with the water outlet hole 205, and at this time the water flow cannot enter the water outlet hole 205; and when the adjusting mechanism 400 is in the fourth state, the butt joint hole 410 is just aligned with the water outlet hole 205, and at this time the water entering the fourth cavity can directly enter the third cavity through the water outlet hole 205 and the water outlet pipe 206 to be discharged.

[0056] In summary, the present embodiment can control the rotation of the adjusting mechanism 400 by rotating the knob 502, that is, control the rotation of the inner shielding sleeve 401 and the outer shielding sleeve 402. Specifically, when the adjusting mechanism 400 is in the first state, the water flow enters the first cavity through the water inlet connector 101, then enters the second cavity through the third through hole 307, then enters the third cavity through the first through hole 305, and finally is discharged through the water outlet connector 102.

[0057] When the knob 502 is turned, the control adjustment mechanism 400 is in the second state, at this time, the water entering the first cavity passes through the outer filter screen 304 into the second cavity, and then enters the third cavity through the second through hole 306, and finally is discharged through the water outlet connector 102; when the adjustment mechanism 400 is in the third state, the water entering the first cavity passes through the outer filter screen 304 and the inner filter screen 303 in turn into the third cavity; when the adjustment mechanism 400 is in the fourth state, because the water closing port 204 is in a closed state, at this time, the water entering the first cavity can pass through the fourth through hole 308 into the second cavity, and then reversely pass through the outer filter screen 304 and enter the fourth cavity, and finally enter the third cavity through the water outlet pipe 206.

[0058] It should be noted that the more times the water flow passes through the filter screen, the greater the resistance the water flow receives, and the slower the flow rate. In order to adapt to various different use occasions, the embodiment has four gears, and the four gears correspond to four different uses. In the first state, the water flow is directly discharged without filtration, so the flow rate is the fastest, and it is suitable for occasions without requirements on water quality, such as washing clothes; in the second state, the water flow is filtered once, which is suitable for occasions with certain requirements on water quality, such as washing dishes and vegetables; in the third state, the water flow is filtered twice through coarse filtering and fine filtering, which is suitable for occasions with higher requirements on water quality, such as direct drinking. In the fourth state, the water flow is backwashed from the inside to the outside of the outer filter screen 304, which can wash away the impurities attached to the filter screen.

[0059] Obviously, because the embodiment is in the second state and the third state, the outer filter screen 304 is used, and the water flow always passes through the outer filter screen 304 first, so it is inevitable that the outer filter screen 304 is also the most likely place for impurities to be attached. After a period of use, although the existing pre-filter has a sewage outlet at the bottom, the design of the sewage outlet can only remove the impurities floating inside the filter, and the particles clogging the mesh and the stubborn impurities tightly attached to the outer surface of the filter screen can only be cleaned by disassembling the filter, which is very troublesome.

[0060] Compared with the existing pre-filter, the difference between the embodiment and the existing pre-filter is that when the adjustment mechanism 400 of the embodiment is in the fourth state, the water flow can wash the outer filter screen 304 from the inside to the outside by backwashing, so that the impurities on the outer surface of the outer filter screen 304 are washed away, and the washed impurities can be directly discharged through the faucet at home, without the need to collect sewage with tools, which is simple to operate and convenient to use.
