Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water purifier equipment, in particular to a self-cleaning water purifier. Background Art

[0002] A water purifier is a device specifically designed to remove impurities and harmful substances from water. It primarily removes suspended solids, sediment, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, organic compounds, and other substances from the water through its internal filtration system. These substances can also remain within the filtration system, so it's important to clean the filtration system regularly to prevent them from affecting the quality of your drinking water.

[0003] To facilitate cleaning of the filter device, some self-cleaning filter devices already exist in the prior art. For example, the invention patent with publication number: CN115804983B discloses a self-cleaning continuous water purification filter element and a self-cleaning method, comprising a filter cartridge, a first cleaning brush, a first filter element, a second cleaning brush, a second filter element, a central tube, an upper inner cover, an upper outer cover, a lower inner cover, and a lower outer cover. A first filter chamber is formed between the first cleaning brush and the second cleaning brush, and a second filter chamber is formed between the second cleaning brush and the central tube. The water inlet is alternately connected to the first filter chamber and the second filter chamber by means of the upper inner cover, the water outlet is alternately connected to the first filter chamber and the second filter chamber by means of the lower outer cover, the lower inner cover, and the central tube, and the water discharge is alternately connected to the first filter chamber and the second filter chamber by means of the lower inner cover, and at least one of the first filter chamber and the second filter chamber is in a water purification state. The above technical solution solves the technical problem in the prior art that the water purification filter element needs to be disassembled and cleaned, and that the water purifier cannot continuously purify water due to cleaning.

[0004] However, in order to meet more needs, the existing water purifiers integrate the filtering device, heating device and refrigeration device into one. The heating device mainly heats drinking water through the heating pipe. During the long-term heating of drinking water by the heating pipe, scale will be generated on the inner wall of the heating pipe. The scale will also flow out from the water outlet along the outlet pipe of the heating pipe, thereby reducing the quality of drinking water from the water purifier. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the defects in the prior art, the present invention solves the technical problem of how to improve the quality of drinking water in a water purifier.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a self-cleaning water purifier comprising:

[0007] A heating device, comprising a heating pipeline and a first water outlet pipeline, wherein one end of the heating pipeline is connected to the water outlet of the water purifier through the first water outlet pipeline;

[0008] a cleaning pipeline, one end of which is connected to the clean water inlet of the water purifier, the other end of which is connected to the drain outlet of the water purifier, and the cleaning pipeline is in communication with the first water outlet pipeline to form an intersection;

[0009] The intersection divides the cleaning pipeline into a first connecting pipeline and a drainage pipeline. The first connecting pipeline is located between the intersection and the cleaning water inlet, and the drainage pipeline is located between the intersection and the drainage outlet. A first water stop valve is provided on the first connecting pipeline, and a second water stop valve is provided on the drainage pipeline.

[0010] The intersection divides the first water outlet pipe into a second connecting pipe and a hot water outlet pipe. The second connecting pipe is located between the intersection and the heating pipe, and the hot water outlet pipe is located between the intersection and the water outlet. A third water stop valve is provided on the second connecting pipe, and a fourth water stop valve is provided on the hot water outlet pipe.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, clean water can be introduced into the heating pipe through the cleaning pipe. After cleaning the scale on the inner wall of the heating pipe, the clean water and scale can be discharged along the second connecting pipe and the drainage pipe, and finally discharged from the drain outlet, thereby improving the quality of drinking water in the water purifier.

[0012] In one embodiment, the heating device also includes a first water inlet pipe and a first booster pump. The first water inlet pipe is arranged between the water tank of the water purifier and the heating pipe, and the first booster pump is arranged between the first water inlet pipe and the heating pipe, so that the drinking water in the water tank enters the heating pipe through the first booster pump; a descaling agent injector is provided on the first connecting pipe to enable the descaling agent to be injected into the first connecting pipe.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to discharge clean water and scale from the heating pipeline and flush the inner wall of the heating pipeline; at the same time, the clean water carries the descaling agent into the interior of the heating pipeline, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0014] In one embodiment, the water purifier further includes a filtering device, which includes a pre-filter component and a post-filter component to filter tap water into drinking water and store it in a water tank.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the filtering effect of the water purifier is improved.

[0016] In one embodiment, a second water inlet pipe is connected to the pre-filter assembly, and the other end of the second water inlet pipe is connected to the first water inlet pipe to form a first connection point, and the first connection point is located between the first water stop valve and the clean water inlet;

[0017] A second booster pump is provided on the second water inlet pipeline, and a fifth water stop valve is provided on the second water inlet pipeline between the second booster pump and the first connection point.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, clean water can enter the second water inlet pipe and flush the interior of the pre-filter assembly through the second booster pump; at the same time, it will not affect the cleaning work of the heating pipe, and the pre-filter assembly can be self-cleaning.

[0019] In one embodiment, a second water outlet pipe is connected to the pre-filter assembly, and the other end of the second water outlet pipe is connected to the drain pipe to form a second connection point. The second connection point is located between the second water stop valve and the drain outlet, and a sixth water stop valve is provided on the second water outlet pipe.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the clean water and impurities in the pre-filter assembly can also be discharged from the drain outlet, reducing the internal pipes and required drain outlets of the water purifier, thereby reducing the size of the water purifier.

[0021] In one embodiment, a wastewater discharge pipe is connected to the post-filter assembly, and the other end of the wastewater discharge pipe is connected to the drainage pipe to form a third connection point. The third connection point is located between the second water stop valve and the drain outlet, and a seventh water stop valve is provided on the wastewater discharge pipe.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to discharge the wastewater generated by the post-filter component during filtration from the drain outlet, further reducing the internal pipes and required drain outlets of the water purifier, thereby reducing the volume of the water purifier.

[0023] In one embodiment, the water purifier also includes a refrigeration device, which includes a refrigeration shell, a refrigeration pipeline and a semiconductor refrigeration component; the refrigeration shell is fixed to the interior of the water purifier, and the refrigeration pipeline is arranged inside the refrigeration shell, one end of the refrigeration pipeline is connected to the water tank through a third water inlet pipeline, and the other end is connected to the water outlet through a third water outlet pipeline; the semiconductor refrigeration component is arranged on the refrigeration shell to realize cooling of the refrigeration pipeline.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the drinking water cooling function of the water purifier is realized.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first connecting pipeline includes a fourth water inlet pipeline, a circulating water pipeline and a fourth water outlet pipeline. The circulating water pipeline is arranged on the refrigeration pipeline along the water flow direction in the refrigeration pipeline to enable the semiconductor refrigeration component to cool the refrigeration pipeline and the circulating water pipeline at the same time. The fourth water inlet pipeline is arranged between the circulating water pipeline and the clean water inlet, the fourth water outlet pipeline is arranged between the circulating water pipeline and the intersection, and the first water stop valve is arranged on the fourth water outlet pipeline.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the semiconductor refrigeration component cools the refrigeration pipeline, the drinking water entering the refrigeration pipeline is cooled due to the temperature of the refrigeration pipeline. At the same time, the semiconductor refrigeration component cools the circulating water circuit, causing the temperature of the circulating water flowing inside the circulating water circuit to cool down. Since the length of the circulating water circuit is much greater than the length of the refrigeration pipeline, the cooling time of the circulating water is longer to reach a lower temperature. Therefore, the circulating water can further cool the refrigeration pipeline, increase the cooling rate of the drinking water, and thus improve the cooling effect of the water purifier.

[0027] In one embodiment, the refrigeration pipeline is a U-shaped pipeline, the starting point of the circulating water circuit is the connection point between the refrigeration pipeline and the fourth water inlet pipeline, and part of the fourth water inlet pipeline is located inside the refrigeration shell to enable the semiconductor refrigeration component to cool the fourth water inlet pipeline.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, not only the refrigeration pipeline and the circulating water circuit are refrigerated, but also the fourth water inlet pipeline is refrigerated, thereby increasing the cooling time of the circulating water, thereby further improving the refrigeration effect of the wall-mounted pipeline water dispenser.

[0029] In one embodiment, the refrigeration shell includes a first shell and a second shell, the first shell and the second shell are detachably connected, and a mounting port is provided on the second shell, and the semiconductor refrigeration component is installed on the mounting port to achieve direct cooling of the refrigeration pipeline and the circulating water circuit.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the presence of a shell blocking the semiconductor refrigeration component and the pipeline that needs to be refrigerated is avoided, thereby further improving the refrigeration effect of the wall-mounted pipeline water dispenser; at the same time, it facilitates the inspection, maintenance and replacement of the internal structure of the refrigeration device.

[0031] In summary, the present invention includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0032] 1. Through the design of the heating device and the cleaning pipeline, the pipeline can not only realize that the drinking water heated by the heating pipeline flows out from the water outlet, but also can pass clean water into the heating pipeline through the cleaning pipeline. After cleaning the scale on the inner wall of the heating pipeline, the clean water and scale can be discharged from the drain outlet along the second connecting pipeline and the drainage pipeline, thereby improving the quality of the drinking water in the water purifier;

[0033] 2. The piping design on the pre-filter assembly and the post-filter assembly can achieve self-cleaning inside the pre-filter assembly and discharge the wastewater generated by the post-filter assembly. At the same time, it reduces the internal piping and required drain outlets of the water purifier, thereby reducing the size of the water purifier.

[0034] 3. When the semiconductor refrigeration component cools the refrigeration pipeline, the drinking water entering the refrigeration pipeline is cooled due to the temperature of the refrigeration pipeline. At the same time, the semiconductor refrigeration component cools the circulating water circuit, causing the temperature of the circulating water flowing inside the circulating water circuit to cool down. Because the length of the circulating water circuit is much greater than the length of the refrigeration pipeline, the cooling time of the circulating water is longer to reach a lower temperature. Therefore, the circulating water can further cool the refrigeration pipeline, increase the cooling rate of the drinking water, and thus improve the cooling effect of the water purifier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] The self-cleaning water purifier in the embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the self-cleaning water purifier includes a heating device, which includes a heating pipeline 1 and a first water outlet pipeline. One end of the heating pipeline 1 is connected to the water outlet 15 of the water purifier through the first water outlet pipeline;

[0042] A cleaning pipeline, one end of which is connected to the clean water inlet 13 of the water purifier, and the other end of which is connected to the drain outlet 14 of the water purifier, and the cleaning pipeline is connected to the first water outlet pipeline to form an intersection;

[0043] The intersection divides the cleaning pipeline into a first connecting pipeline 5 and a drainage pipeline 6. The first connecting pipeline 5 is located between the intersection and the clean water inlet 13, and the drainage pipeline 6 is located between the intersection and the drainage outlet 14. A first water stop valve 9 is provided on the first connecting pipeline 5, and a second water stop valve 10 is provided on the drainage pipeline 6.

[0044] The intersection divides the first water outlet pipe into a second connecting pipe 7 and a hot water outlet pipe 8. The second connecting pipe 7 is located between the intersection and the heating pipe 1, and the hot water outlet pipe 8 is located between the intersection and the water outlet 15. A third water stop valve 11 is provided on the second connecting pipe 7, and a fourth water stop valve 12 is provided on the hot water outlet pipe 8.

[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, clean water can be introduced into the heating pipe 1 through the cleaning pipe. After cleaning the scale on the inner wall of the heating pipe 1, the clean water and scale can be discharged along the second connecting pipe 7 and the drainage pipe 6 and finally discharged from the drain outlet 14, thereby improving the quality of drinking water in the water purifier.

[0046] It can be seen that the present invention marks the connection point where the cleaning pipeline and the first water outlet pipeline are connected as the intersection point, and uses the intersection point as the dividing point to divide the cleaning pipeline into the first connecting pipeline 5 and the drainage pipeline 6, and the first water outlet pipeline into the second connecting pipeline 7 and the hot water outlet pipeline 8, and each pipeline is provided with a water stop valve;

[0047] When descaling of the heating pipe 1 is required, the first water stop valve 9 and the third water stop valve 11 are opened, and the second water stop valve 10 and the fourth water stop valve 12 are closed at the same time. Clean water (which can be tap water, drinking water, or circulating water, as long as it is harmless to the human body) introduced from the clean water inlet 13 flows along the first connecting pipe 5 and the second connecting pipe 7, and finally enters the heating pipe 1 until the amount of clean water in the heating pipe 1 reaches a threshold value, and the first water stop valve 9 is closed. If the water temperature is too low to achieve the best cleaning effect, the heating pipe 1 inside it can be heated by the heater assembly to increase the temperature of the clean water, thereby achieving a better descaling effect.

[0048] When it is necessary to drain the clean water and residue in the heating pipeline 1, the second water stop valve 10 is opened, and the clean water and residue in the heating pipeline 1 are drained from the drain port 14 along the second connecting pipeline 7 and the drain pipeline 6;

[0049] When drinking water needs to be heated and flows out from the water outlet 15, the third water stop valve 11 and the fourth water stop valve 12 are opened, and the first water stop valve 9 and the second water stop valve 10 are closed;

[0050] When it is necessary to drain excess cleaning water in the cleaning pipeline, the first water stop valve 9 and the second water stop valve 10 are opened, and the third water stop valve 11 and the fourth water stop valve 12 are closed.

[0051] Preferably, see Figure 2 、 3 As shown, the heating device also includes a first water inlet pipe 24 and a first booster pump 25. The first water inlet pipe 24 is arranged between the water tank 26 of the water purifier and the heating pipe 1, and the first booster pump 25 is arranged between the first water inlet pipe 24 and the heating pipe 1, so that the drinking water in the water tank 26 enters the heating pipe 1 through the first booster pump 25; a descaling agent injector 16 is provided on the first connecting pipe 5 to realize the injection of descaling agent into the first connecting pipe 5.

[0052] Specifically, the drinking water in the water tank 26 is added to the first water inlet pipe 24, and the drinking water enters from the inlet end of the first booster pump 25 and then flows out from the outlet end of the first booster pump 25, thereby realizing the pressurization of the drinking water. The pressurized drinking water rushes into the heating pipe 1, and flows along the second connecting pipe 7 and the drainage pipe 6 with the clean water and residue in the heating pipe 1, and is finally discharged from the drain port 14 until the clean water and residue in the heating pipe 1 are completely discharged; a descaling agent injector 16 is provided on the first connecting pipe 5, and the descaling agent injector 16 stores the descaling agent. When the clean water flows into the heating pipe 1, the descaling agent is injected into the first connecting pipe 5.

[0053] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the complete discharge of clean water and residues, the quality of the drinking water discharged from the drain outlet 14 along the second connecting pipe 7 and the drain pipe 6 can be tested;

[0054] Descaling agents are preferably in a solid form for easy storage and administration, such as beads or pellets, which gradually release scale-inhibiting chemicals into the water. For example, Kaidefei polyphosphate pellets are glass spheres containing food-grade additives. KL-102 solid scale remover and LX-056A solid descaling agent are also common solid descaling agents. They completely remove scale from equipment by dissolving it and are safe for materials like stainless steel and copper.

[0055] Preferably, see Figure 1 As shown, the water purifier further includes a filtering device, which includes a pre-filter component 2 and a post-filter component 3 to filter tap water into drinking water and store it in a water tank 26.

[0056] Specifically, the tap water first enters the pre-filter component 2 for the first filtration to remove large particles of impurities in the tap water, such as mud, rust, etc.; the treated tap water passes through the third booster pump 27 and enters the post-filter component 3 for the second filtration to remove bacteria, suspended matter and other impurities to form drinking water; the drinking water flows into the water storage tank 26 and is stored.

[0057] For further information, see Figure 2 As shown, a specific structure of self-cleaning of the pre-filter component 2 is provided:

[0058] The pre-filter assembly 2 is connected to a second water inlet pipe 17, the other end of which is connected to the first water inlet pipe 24 to form a first connection point, which is located between the first water stop valve 9 and the clean water inlet 13;

[0059] A second booster pump 18 is provided on the second water inlet pipeline 17 , and a fifth water stop valve 19 is provided on the second water inlet pipeline 17 between the second booster pump 18 and the first connection point.

[0060] Specifically, when the pre-filter assembly 2 needs to be cleaned, the fifth water stop valve 19 is opened and the first water stop valve 9 is closed. The clean water introduced from the clean water inlet 13 flows along the first water inlet pipe 24 and enters the second water inlet pipe 17. After the clean water is pressurized by the second booster pump 18, it is flushed into the interior of the pre-filter assembly 2. After cleaning is completed, the clean water and impurities inside the pre-filter assembly 2 are discharged.

[0061] For further information, see Figure 2 As shown, a second water outlet pipe 20 is connected to the pre-filter assembly 2, and the other end of the second water outlet pipe 20 is connected to the drain pipe 6 to form a second connection point. The second connection point is located between the second water stop valve 10 and the drain outlet 14, and a sixth water stop valve 21 is provided on the second water outlet pipe 20.

[0062] Specifically, when it is necessary to discharge the clean water and impurities inside the pre-filter assembly 2, the sixth water stop valve 21 is opened and the second water stop valve 10 is closed. The clean water and impurities flow along the second water outlet pipe 20 and the drainage pipe 6, and are finally discharged from the drain port 14; the clean water and impurities in the pre-filter assembly 2 can also be discharged from the drain port 14, reducing the pipes inside the water purifier and the required drain port 14, thereby reducing the volume of the water purifier.

[0063] Preferably, see Figure 2 As shown, a specific structure of a post-filter component 3 for draining wastewater is provided:

[0064] The post-filter assembly 3 is connected to a wastewater discharge pipe 22, and the other end of the wastewater discharge pipe 22 is connected to the drainage pipe 6 to form a third connection point. The third connection point is located between the second water stop valve 10 and the drain outlet 14. A seventh water stop valve 23 is provided on the wastewater discharge pipe 22.

[0065] Specifically, when it is necessary to discharge the wastewater in the post-filter assembly 3, the seventh water stop valve 23 is opened and the second water stop valve 10 is closed. The wastewater flows along the wastewater discharge pipe 22 and the drainage pipe 6, and is finally discharged from the drain outlet 14, further reducing the pipes inside the water purifier and the required drain outlet 14, thereby reducing the volume of the water purifier.

[0066] It should be noted that the post-filter needs to have its filter element replaced regularly, especially for reverse osmosis water purifiers. The cost of replacing the filter element is high, and it needs to be plugged in, which will produce wastewater.

[0067] Preferably, see Figure 1 、 4 As shown, the water purifier also includes a refrigeration device 4, which includes a refrigeration shell, a refrigeration pipeline 403 and a semiconductor refrigeration component 405; the refrigeration shell is fixed to the inside of the water purifier, and the refrigeration pipeline 403 is arranged inside the refrigeration shell, one end of the refrigeration pipeline 403 is connected to the water storage tank 26 through a third water inlet pipeline, and the other end is connected to the water outlet 15 through a third water outlet pipeline; the semiconductor refrigeration component 405 is arranged on the refrigeration shell to realize cooling of the refrigeration pipeline 403.

[0068] For further information, see Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting pipeline 5 includes a fourth water inlet pipeline 501, a circulating water pipeline 502 and a fourth water outlet pipeline 503. The circulating water pipeline 502 is arranged on the refrigeration pipeline 403 along the water flow direction in the refrigeration pipeline 403, so that the semiconductor refrigeration component 405 can simultaneously cool the refrigeration pipeline 403 and the circulating water pipeline 502. The fourth water inlet pipeline 501 is arranged between the circulating water pipeline 502 and the clean water inlet 13, the fourth water outlet pipeline 503 is arranged between the circulating water pipeline 502 and the intersection, and the first water stop valve 9 is arranged on the fourth water outlet pipeline 503.

[0069] Specifically, by turning on the semiconductor refrigeration component 405, the refrigeration pipeline 403 is refrigerated, and the drinking water in the water tank 26 is passed into the refrigeration pipeline 403 through the third water inlet pipeline, so the refrigeration pipeline 403 can reduce the temperature of the drinking water therein; at the same time, the semiconductor refrigeration component 405 refrigerates the circulating water circuit 502, causing the temperature of the circulating water flowing inside the circulating water circuit 502 to cool down. Because the length of the circulating water circuit 502 is much greater than the length of the refrigeration pipeline 403, the cooling time of the circulating water is longer, and the temperature of the circulating water is lower than the temperature of the drinking water. Therefore, the circulating water can further cool the refrigeration pipeline 403, thereby increasing the cooling rate of the drinking water, thereby improving the cooling effect of the water purifier.

[0070] It should be noted that the above-mentioned circulating water is clean water introduced from the clean water inlet 13, that is, the clean water can not only clean the internal structure of the water purifier, but also serve as circulating water circulating in the circulation pipeline to improve the cooling effect of the refrigeration device 4.

[0071] Preferably, see Figure 4 As shown, the refrigeration pipeline 403 is a U-shaped pipeline, and the starting point of the circulating water circuit 502 is the connection point between the refrigeration pipeline 403 and the fourth water inlet pipeline 501. Part of the fourth water inlet pipeline 501 is located inside the refrigeration shell to enable the semiconductor refrigeration component 405 to cool the fourth water inlet pipeline 501.

[0072] The drinking water in the water tank 26 enters from one end of the U-shaped pipe through the third water inlet pipe and flows out from the other end. A circulating water circuit 502 is arranged around the starting part to the ending part of the U-shaped pipe. The initial surrounding position of the circulating water circuit 502 is the end of the U-shaped pipe. Therefore, part of the fourth water inlet pipe 501 will be located on the side of the U-shaped pipe, that is, inside the refrigeration shell, and the semiconductor refrigeration component 405 is arranged on the side of the U-shaped pipe. Therefore, the semiconductor refrigeration component 405 not only cools the refrigeration pipe 403 and the circulating water circuit 502, but also cools the fourth water inlet pipe 501, increasing the flow path of the circulating water in the refrigerated state, thereby increasing the cooling time of the circulating water, thereby further improving the refrigeration effect of the water purifier.

[0073] Preferably, see Figure 4 As shown, the refrigeration shell includes a first shell 401 and a second shell 402, which are detachably connected. The second shell 402 is provided with a mounting port 404, and the semiconductor refrigeration component 405 is installed on the mounting port 404 to achieve direct cooling of the refrigeration pipeline 403 and the circulating water circuit 502.

[0074] Specifically, the refrigeration shell is made into two parts, a first shell 401 and a second shell 402, and the first shell 401 and the second shell 402 can be connected by a clip or a bolt assembly to achieve a detachable connection between the first shell 401 and the second shell 402, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, and the refrigeration pipeline 403 and the circulating water path 502 are fixed inside the refrigeration shell; and an installation port 404 is opened on the second shell 402 to avoid the presence of a shell obstruction between the semiconductor refrigeration component 405 and the pipeline to be refrigerated, thereby further improving the refrigeration effect of the wall-mounted pipeline water dispenser; at the same time, it is convenient for the inspection, maintenance and replacement of the internal structure of the refrigeration device 4.

[0075] The foregoing is merely a list of specific embodiments of the present application, intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is intended to conform to the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features of the present application.
