Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water purifying and drinking machines, and particularly to a multifunctional water purifying and drinking machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the popularization of water purification products, more and more families connect water purifying and drinking machines to the water supply network as water using terminals to improve the water quality. A cold storage tank is installed in the water purifying machine to store frozen purified water. However, since the water purifying machine does not adopt a completely sealed structure, it is difficult to completely isolate the purified water in the water purification tank from the air. During the long-term use of the water purification tank, bacteria will breed, resulting in secondary pollution, which will pose a threat to the health of water use. To reduce the bacteria breeding in the cold storage tank, continuous sterilization can be achieved by introducing ozone. However, a conversion joint for replacing a hose is usually provided at the connection between the filter element module and the cold storage tank. The use of the conversion joint ensures the sealing performance of the pipeline connection and is also convenient for the docking of pipelines of different sizes. However, these conversion joints cannot be cleaned in the non-dismantled state. Since the actual disassembly and cleaning cycle is relatively long, these long-uncleaned conversion joints have instead become the main sources of bacteria breeding. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a multifunctional water purifying and drinking machine, which solves the defect that the conversion joint at the connection between the existing filter element module and the cold storage tank cannot be cleaned in the non-dismantled state. Since the actual disassembly and cleaning cycle is relatively long, these long-uncleaned conversion joints have instead become the main sources of bacteria breeding.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A multifunctional water purifying and drinking machine includes: a machine body, in which a water purification component, an ice making component and an ozone generator are provided. The water purification component includes a water inlet pipe, a plurality of filter element modules and a cold storage tank. The plurality of filter element modules are connected in series at the end of the water inlet pipe. The ozone generator is connected with an air outlet main pipe, and the end of the air outlet main pipe is connected to the upper part of the cold storage tank; The filter element module is connected to the cold storage tank through a hose and a conversion joint. The conversion joint includes a cylinder body with openings at both ends; an elastic cylinder made of a porous material is installed at the opening at least at one end of the cylinder body, and this end is used to connect the hose; one end of the elastic cylinder is fixed on the inner side wall of the cylinder body, and the free end of the elastic cylinder is connected with a fastening ring. An elastic insert is provided on the inner side wall of the fastening ring. The elastic cylinder is composed of multiple interconnected telescopic rings. The air outlet main pipe is externally connected with a plurality of air outlet branch pipes, and one end of the air outlet branch pipe is connected to the middle of the cylinder body. In view of the technical feature of the complex structure of the conversion joint, the ozone for sterilizing the cold storage tank is introduced into the cylinder body to realize the sterilization of the conversion joint, and the introduced ozone will also flow into the cold storage tank along the hose in sequence, which further enhances the sterilization effect at the water inlet of the cold storage tank. The elastic cylinder can be made of an antibacterial material.

[0005] Optionally, a water pump is provided between the filter element module and the cold water tank.

[0006] Optionally, a threaded groove is provided in the opening, a rigid joint is provided at the end of the hose, and an external thread adapted to the threaded groove is provided on the rigid joint.

[0007] Optionally, a one-way valve is provided on the air outlet branch pipe.

[0008] Optionally, a breathable and waterproof film is provided at the air outlet of the air outlet branch pipe.

[0009] Optionally, elastic beads are embedded between adjacent telescopic rings.

[0010] Optionally, a plurality of fixing blocks are fixed on the side wall of the cylinder body, and the fixing blocks are connected to the fixed end of the elastic cylinder.

[0011] Optionally, a rigid bead is provided on the inner side of the telescopic ring near the fixed end of the elastic cylinder, and an annular groove adapted to the rigid bead is provided on the side wall of the cylinder body.

[0012] Optionally, the elastic insert is a single annular body.

[0013] Optionally, there are multiple groups of elastic inserts.

[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In view of the complex technical characteristics of the adapter structure, the present invention introduces ozone for cold water tank sterilization into the cylinder body to achieve sterilization of the adapter, and the introduced ozone will also flow into the cold water tank along the hose in turn, which further enhances the sterilization effect at the water inlet of the cold water tank.

[0015] 2. The present invention adopts an elastic cylinder made of porous material. On the one hand, the elastic cylinder plays a role in accumulating ozone, prolonging the sterilization effect of ozone. On the other hand, the elastic cylinder pushes the elastic insert to be clamped between the hose joint and the inner part of the opening of the cylinder body, enhancing the fixing effect on the hose joint and improving the sealing performance.

[0016] 3. The elastic coefficient range of the porous material itself in the present invention is small, and the elastic beads have an elastic coefficient different from that of the elastic cylinder. By configuring different numbers of elastic beads, the deformation performance of the elastic cylinder can be directly adjusted.

[0017] 4. By providing the rigid bead and the annular groove in the present invention, there is no need to provide redundant fixing parts outside the fixed end of the elastic cylinder, reducing the size of the elastic cylinder and reducing the resistance to water flow. Description of the Drawings
