[0030] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Traditional water purification equipment usually includes multiple functional modules, such as filtration, water storage, and heating, aiming to provide efficient water treatment solutions. However, many existing water purification equipment have certain limitations in structural design, resulting in poor performance in terms of space utilization, maintenance, and energy efficiency. For example, traditional water purification equipment often compactly arranges multiple functional modules in the same cavity, making the internal structure of the equipment complex and affecting the convenience of disassembly and maintenance. Secondly, due to the mutual interference of multiple functional modules, existing equipment often generates a lot of noise during operation, which not only affects the user experience, but may also have a negative impact on the long-term operational stability of the equipment.

[0032] Based on this, see Figures 1 to 4As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a water treatment device 10, which includes a shell structure 100, a water storage device 200, a temperature control device 300 and a filter element assembly 400; the water storage device 200 is arranged in the shell structure 100; the temperature control device 300 is thermally coupled to the water storage device 200, and the heat dissipation end of the temperature control device 300 is at least partially arranged inside the shell structure 100.

[0033] In the water treatment equipment 10 of this embodiment, by at least partially setting the heat dissipation end 312 of the temperature control device 300 inside the shell structure 100, and adopting a thermal coupling design between the water storage device 200 and the temperature control device 300, the heating efficiency is guaranteed to be improved. At the same time, by reasonably arranging the position of the heat dissipation end 312 of the temperature control device 300, the internal structure of the shell is simplified, and the internal space utilization of the equipment is improved, thereby making the disassembly and maintenance of the equipment more convenient.

[0034] In one embodiment, the water storage device 200 specifically includes a water storage tank 210, and the temperature control device 300 specifically includes a first temperature control element 310. The working end 311 of the first temperature control element 310 is thermally coupled to the water storage tank 210 and is capable of cooling the water in the water storage tank 210. When the first temperature control element 310 is activated, the working end 311 lowers the temperature of the water in the water storage tank 210 through heat conduction, creating a cold water environment, thereby cooling the water in the water storage tank 210.

[0035] Specifically, when the water stored in water tank 210 is filtered water processed by filter element assembly 400, the cold water cooled by first thermostat 310 can be used directly as drinking water, meeting the user's need for cold drinking water and improving user comfort and convenience. The cooled water is pure and at a suitable temperature, making it suitable for direct drinking, ensuring the user's health and safety.

[0036] When the water stored in the water tank 210 is untreated tap water, the cold water after being cooled by the first thermostat 310 can be used for daily water use, such as washing, cooking, etc. Although it is not recommended to drink it directly, its suitable low temperature state also improves the user experience, especially providing users with a relatively cool water option in hot seasons.

[0037] The first temperature control element 310 can be implemented using either a semiconductor refrigeration chip or a compression refrigerator. Semiconductor refrigeration chips offer the advantages of compactness, fast response, no mechanical vibration, and low noise, making them suitable for applications requiring minimal size and noise. Semiconductor refrigeration chips utilize electric current to achieve heat exchange between the hot and cold ends, enabling precise temperature control and simplifying maintenance.

[0038] When using a compression refrigerator, first thermostat 310 offers high cooling efficiency and a strong cooling output, making it suitable for applications requiring high cooling capacity. However, compression refrigerators are relatively large and may generate some noise and vibration during operation, necessitating appropriate vibration isolation and noise reduction measures in the equipment design.

[0039] It should be noted that the selection of first thermostat 310 should be based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as specific equipment design requirements, user needs, energy consumption constraints, and spatial layout. Specifically, first thermostat 310 can be a semiconductor cooler, a compression refrigerator, or even a hybrid cooling solution incorporating other cooling technologies to balance cooling efficiency, equipment size, and energy consumption.

[0040] Furthermore, to ensure effective thermal coupling between the first thermostat 310 and the water storage tank 210, the contact surface must be made of a highly thermally conductive material or provided with a thermally conductive medium (such as thermal grease or a thermally conductive gasket) to enhance heat exchange efficiency and ensure a significant and stable cooling effect. A well-designed structure for the working end 311 of the first thermostat 310 and the water storage tank 210 can help shorten cooling response time, reduce energy consumption, and extend the service life of the first thermostat 310.

[0041] In one embodiment, the water storage tank 210 can be configured as an external structure. That is, the water storage tank 210 is not directly located within the housing structure 100, but is connected to the housing structure 100 via pipes or connectors, forming a split design. This design significantly reduces the overall volume of the housing structure 100, making the main housing of the water treatment device 10 more compact, facilitating device installation and space utilization. It is particularly suitable for use in environments with strict device space restrictions, such as under kitchen counters, in narrow cabinets, or for mobile water purification equipment.

[0042] With water tank 210 externally positioned, the housing structure 100 can be optimally arranged with the thermostat 300, filter element assembly 400, and other functional modules. This improves internal space utilization and modular design, thereby simplifying the internal structure and enhancing ease of assembly, disassembly, and maintenance. Piping connections allow for flexible placement between water tank 210 and housing structure 100, facilitating adjustment of installation location based on site conditions and achieving greater installation adaptability.

[0043] The connecting piping for the external water storage tank 210 can be made of corrosion-resistant, pressure-resistant materials with excellent sealing properties, such as food-grade silicone tubing, stainless steel tubing, or high-density polyethylene tubing, to ensure safe and reliable water transportation and prevent leakage and secondary contamination. The piping interfaces can be equipped with various connection methods, such as quick-connect connectors, threaded connections, or flange connections, to facilitate assembly and disassembly and maintenance. Specifically, the piping length and route can be flexibly adjusted according to on-site installation requirements to ensure smooth water flow without affecting the thermal coupling efficiency of the cooling or heating functions.

[0044] Furthermore, the water tank 210 is provided with a connection hole 211, through which the first thermostat 310 is inserted. Together with the water tank 210, the first thermostat 310 forms a space for holding water. The connection hole 211 allows the first thermostat 310 to partially or fully extend into the water tank 210, ensuring that the working end 311 of the first thermostat 310 is directly located within the water space within the water tank 210, thereby achieving efficient cooling of the water within the water tank 210.

[0045] This design solution works because the working end 311 of the first thermostat 310, through direct contact with the water in the water tank 210, effectively transfers cold air, rapidly lowering the water temperature and creating a stable cold water environment. Compared to heat exchange methods that only achieve heat exchange outside the water tank 210, the first thermostat 310, inserted through the connection hole 211 and extending deep into the water tank 210, significantly improves heat exchange efficiency, shortens cooling response time, reduces energy consumption, and enhances the overall energy efficiency of the device.

[0046] To ensure a tight seal at the connection hole 211 through which the first thermostat 310 passes, and to prevent water leakage and foreign matter from entering the water storage tank 210, a sealant or rubber seal ring may be provided between the connection hole 211 and the first thermostat 310. The sealant material may be silicone, fluoropolymer, or other materials with excellent water-, temperature-, and aging-resistance, ensuring a long-term, stable seal, preventing leakage risks, and improving the safety and durability of the device.

[0047] In addition, the water storage tank 210 and the first thermostat 310 can be connected using a variety of mechanical connection methods, including screws, pins, welding, bonding, or a combination of these methods. Screw and pin connections offer the advantages of a stable structure and easy assembly and disassembly, facilitating equipment maintenance and replacement of the first thermostat 310. Welding allows for permanent fixation, enhancing overall structural strength, but is relatively difficult to disassemble. Adhesive bonding provides good sealing and vibration dampening, but offers limited assembly and disassembly flexibility. Based on specific application requirements and maintenance convenience requirements, designers can flexibly select an appropriate connection method, or use a combination of screws and sealant to achieve both sealing and assembly and disassembly convenience.

[0048] The above design creates a compact and efficient combination of water storage tank 210 and first thermostat 310, saving internal space. It also achieves excellent thermal coupling, effectively enhancing cooling performance. Furthermore, the improved sealing structure ensures safe and stable operation, preventing water leakage and contamination, and extending the device's service life. The diverse connection options facilitate subsequent maintenance and component replacement, reducing maintenance costs and improving the user experience.

[0049] In one embodiment, the water storage device 200 further includes an insulation layer 220, which covers the outside of the water storage tank 210 and enhances the cold-retention effect of the water storage tank 210. The insulation layer 220 effectively reduces the impact of external heat on the water in the water storage tank 210, thereby maintaining a low temperature and extending the cold water's heat retention time. This design not only improves the efficiency of cold water use but also reduces energy consumption to a certain extent, improving the overall energy efficiency of the water treatment equipment.

[0050] Specifically, the material selection for the insulation layer 220 can be diverse, such as using insulation materials with excellent thermal insulation properties such as polystyrene foam, polyurethane, and rock wool. These materials can effectively block heat conduction and maintain a stable temperature of the water in the water storage tank 210. The thickness of the insulation layer 220 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Specifically, the thickness of the insulation layer 220 can be 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, or even greater to achieve an ideal insulation effect. It should be noted that the thickness of the insulation layer 220 should be within a reasonable range. If it is too thick, it may not increase the size of the equipment, which is not conducive to space utilization, while if it is too thin, it may not be able to effectively isolate external heat, affecting the insulation effect. Therefore, reasonably setting the thickness of the insulation layer 220 is crucial to the cold insulation effect of the water storage tank 210.

[0051] The insulation layer 220 not only enhances the cooling performance of the water tank 210 but also provides shockproofing by increasing the spatial isolation between the water tank 210 and the housing structure 100. Specifically, the insulation layer 220 effectively mitigates the direct impact of external vibrations on the water tank 210, enhancing the equipment's seismic resistance. This feature is particularly useful for water treatment equipment operating in dynamic environments, helping to protect the water tank 210 and the water within from vibrations, ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0052] In practice, insulation layer 220 can be installed using bonding, wrapping, or other methods to ensure it is securely fixed to the outside of water storage tank 210, preventing displacement or removal of insulation layer 220 due to thermal expansion, contraction, or vibration. This design can also be combined with materials such as sealant to further enhance the sealing and waterproofing properties of insulation layer 220, ensuring the safety and durability of water storage tank 210.

[0053] In one embodiment, the temperature control device 300 further includes a second temperature control component, which is thermally coupled to the first temperature control component 310 . The first temperature control component 310 is at least partially disposed inside the housing structure 100 , and the second temperature control component is at least partially disposed outside the housing structure.

[0054] Specifically, heat transfer and exchange can be achieved between the first thermostat 310 and the second thermostat via a thermal connection, such as a pipeline. The principle behind this design is that the first thermostat 310 is located within the housing structure 100 and is directly thermally coupled to the water storage tank 210. The working end 311 of the first thermostat 310 cools or heats the water within the water storage tank 210, thereby regulating the internal water temperature. The second thermostat is located outside the housing structure 100 and is capable of heat exchange with an external water source, utilizing the external water source as a cooling or heating medium, with the heat exchange function being achieved through the second thermostat.

[0055] The first thermostat 310 and the second thermostat are connected by a pipeline or other thermal connection technology (such as a heat pipe, a heat transfer pipe, etc.), and the flowing medium in the pipeline (such as a refrigerant, water or a heat transfer liquid) carries the heat and transfers it between the two. This pipeline connection not only realizes the efficient conduction of heat, but also ensures the continuous circulation and stable operation of the heat exchange system. Specifically, the pipeline connection can be made of corrosion-resistant, pressure-resistant and well-sealed materials, such as stainless steel pipes, copper pipes or hoses made of high-performance synthetic materials, and equipped with corresponding sealing rings, flange interfaces or quick-plug connectors to ensure the sealing of the connection and the convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0056] By setting the second temperature control component outside the shell structure 100, an external water source (such as a tap water pipe, a cooling water circulation system, etc.) can be used to provide a stable heat exchange medium for the equipment, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation or cooling efficiency, avoiding the problem of heat accumulation inside the shell, effectively lowering the internal temperature of the shell, reducing thermal interference between internal functional modules, and improving the overall operating stability and energy efficiency performance of the equipment.

[0057] Furthermore, the first thermostat 310 is located within the housing structure 100 and is directly thermally coupled to the water storage tank 210, ensuring rapid and precise temperature regulation of the water within. This combination of internal and external thermostats not only ensures efficient temperature regulation of the internal water, but also optimizes heat dissipation and energy recovery through the external thermostat, achieving a balance between cooling / heating efficiency and compactness.

[0058] Furthermore, the specific form of the second thermostat can be selected based on actual needs using a variety of heat exchange technologies, such as semiconductor refrigeration chips, compression refrigerators, heat exchangers, and plate heat exchangers, to achieve flexible thermal management solutions. For example, the first thermostat 310 uses a compact, fast-response semiconductor refrigeration chip, suitable for applications with high requirements for device size and noise. The second thermostat can use a more efficient plate heat exchanger or water-cooled radiator, utilizing an external water source for efficient heat dissipation, thereby improving overall cooling performance and energy savings.

[0059] Through the rational layout and thermal coupling design of the first and second thermostats 310, the water treatment equipment 10 not only achieves efficient temperature control, but also optimizes internal space utilization, simplifies the housing structure, improves maintenance convenience, and meets the diverse needs of different usage environments. Furthermore, the provision of an external second thermostat facilitates independent maintenance and upgrades of the equipment's thermal management system, thereby improving the maintainability and service life of the equipment.

[0060] Furthermore, the water storage tank 210 in the water storage device 200 is provided with a mounting hole 221 on its exterior, providing a convenient installation channel for the first thermostat 310. The first thermostat 310, inserted into the mounting hole 221, achieves thermal coupling between the interior and exterior of the water storage tank 210. Specifically, the first thermostat 310 is installed by inserting its working end 311 into the mounting hole 221, enclosing the interior of the water storage tank 210 to form a space for accommodating water, thereby achieving direct heat exchange with the water within the water storage tank 210.

[0061] The provision of mounting hole 221 offers multiple technical advantages. First, mounting hole 221 avoids the installation location of first thermostat 310, preventing interference with other structures or accessories of water storage tank 210. This provides flexibility in the placement of the first thermostat, thereby optimizing the internal spatial layout of the device. Second, mounting hole 221 serves as a means of positioning and avoiding positioning, precisely controlling the insertion position of first thermostat 310, ensuring that its working end 311 is ideally positioned within water storage tank 210, maximizing heat exchange efficiency. By properly avoiding other structures or accessories, interference with the heat conduction path and heat loss are avoided.

[0062] Mounting hole 221 also serves as a positioning channel between first thermostat 310 and water storage tank 210. The size and position of mounting hole 221 allow for the use of locating pins, screws, or other fasteners during the manufacturing process to securely fasten first thermostat 310 to water storage tank 210, ensuring stable positioning and preventing loosening or shifting due to vibration or thermal expansion and contraction. Specific fastening methods include screws, pins, welding, or bonding. Screws and pins offer the advantages of easy assembly and disassembly and convenient maintenance, while welding provides a more secure fixation. Bonding offers simplicity and excellent sealing.

[0063] Furthermore, by providing a guide structure or positioning groove within the mounting hole 221, the installation accuracy of the first thermostat 310 can be further improved, ensuring that its working end 311 is accurately aligned with the water area within the water storage tank 210, thereby improving the efficiency and uniformity of heat exchange. The size of the mounting hole 221 should be designed based on the size and structural characteristics of the first thermostat 310. It can generally be set to the diameter of the first thermostat plus a certain margin to ensure flexible and tight assembly.

[0064] This installation method allows for efficient and convenient installation and removal of the first thermostat 310, improving maintenance convenience and enabling quick replacement or repair when necessary, reducing maintenance costs. This design also prevents the first thermostat from loosening or becoming damaged during operation due to vibration or thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring long-term stable operation of the device.

[0065] Specifically, the temperature control device 300 further includes a temperature control water tank 320, which is connected to the first temperature control component 310. The heat dissipation end 312 of the first temperature control component 310 is thermally coupled to the temperature control water tank 320. Through this structural design, the heat dissipation end 312 of the first temperature control component 310 can efficiently transfer heat generated during operation to the temperature control water tank 320, and the temperature control water tank 320 effectively dissipates the heat, thereby achieving thermal management of the first temperature control component 310.

[0066] Specifically, the working end 311 of the first thermostat 310 is directly thermally coupled to the water storage tank 210 and is used to cool the water inside the water storage tank 210. During the cooling process, the first thermostat 310 absorbs heat from the water storage tank 210, causing the temperature of the heat dissipation end 312 of the first thermostat 310 to rise. To prevent performance degradation or damage to the first thermostat 310 due to poor heat dissipation, the heat dissipation end 312 is thermally coupled to the thermostat water tank 320, transferring heat to the heat exchange water source within the thermostat water tank 320. The thermostat water tank 320 acts as a heat carrier and transfer medium, absorbing and removing heat through the heat exchange water source circulating within it, thereby dissipating heat from the first thermostat 310.

[0067] The heat exchange water source within the thermostatic water tank 320 can be water, coolant, or other fluid with good thermal conductivity. The specific fluid type can be selected based on actual needs. A circulating pump or natural convection mechanism can be incorporated into the thermostatic water tank 320 to ensure efficient flow of the heat exchange water source and even heat distribution, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. This heat transfer path effectively controls the temperature of the heat dissipation end 312 of the first thermostatic component 310, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the first thermostatic component 310.

[0068] Furthermore, the first thermostat 310 transfers heat from the water storage tank 210 to the thermostat 320 via the heat exchange water source, facilitating centralized management and utilization of thermal energy. The thermostat 320 can be further equipped with a heat sink, such as a heat sink, air cooling, or water cooling system, to enhance heat dissipation, prevent overheating, and extend the service life of the first thermostat 310 and the entire thermostat 300.

[0069] This technical solution thermally couples the heat dissipation end 312 of the first thermostat 310 with the thermostat water tank 320, establishing an efficient heat transfer and dissipation channel. This solves the heat dissipation problem of the first thermostat and improves cooling efficiency and equipment stability. Furthermore, the thermostat water tank 320 allows for subsequent heat recovery or secondary utilization, demonstrating its potential for application and promotion.

[0070] In one embodiment, the temperature-adjusting water tank 320 is connected to the first temperature-adjusting component 310 to form a circulation loop, and the heated water circulates between the temperature-adjusting water tank 320 and the first temperature-adjusting component 310 .

[0071] Specifically, a heat exchange water source is provided in the thermostatic water tank 320, and the heat exchange water source is connected to the heat dissipation end 312 of the first thermostatic component 310 through a piping system to form a closed circulation system. The heat exchange water flows continuously during the circulation process, which can effectively take away the heat emitted by the first thermostatic component 310, thereby achieving continuous and efficient heat exchange. A circulation pump can be provided in the circulation loop to promote the flow of the heat exchange water, ensure the flow rate and flow rate of the heat exchange water, and thus improve the heat exchange efficiency. In addition, a guide structure can be designed inside the thermostatic water tank 320 or natural convection can be adopted to promote the uniform flow of the heat exchange water and the uniform dispersion of heat, thereby avoiding local overheating. This circulation loop design is not only beneficial to the heat dissipation of the first thermostatic component 310, ensuring its stable performance and extended life, but also can realize centralized management of heat through the thermostatic water tank 320. If conditions permit, the waste heat can be reused in combination with a heat recovery device to improve the overall energy efficiency of the equipment.

[0072] In another embodiment, the temperature-controlled water tank 320 is connected to the first temperature-controlled component 310 to form a one-way water path for discharging the heated water. Specifically, the temperature-controlled water tank 320 is provided with an inlet and a drain. After the heated water flows through the temperature-controlled water tank 320 and into the heat dissipation end 312 of the first temperature-controlled component 310, the heat-carrying heated water is directly discharged outside the device, achieving rapid heat dissipation. This one-way drainage design avoids flow resistance and pump failure issues that may occur in the circulation system, and has a simple structure and easy maintenance. The heated water can be discharged by gravity flow or external pumping, making it suitable for applications with low cooling water demand or where an external cooling water supply is available. This method of discharging the heated water facilitates effective temperature control at the heat dissipation end of the first temperature-controlled component 310, preventing equipment overheating due to heat accumulation. Furthermore, by directly discharging the heated water, deterioration of the water quality within the temperature-controlled water tank 320 can be effectively avoided, reducing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance of the temperature-controlled water tank 320. The discharged heat exchange water can be collected and processed according to specific needs, such as for garden irrigation or other auxiliary cooling applications, achieving rational resource utilization. This one-way waterway design is compact and facilitates overall equipment size control, making it suitable for applications with high requirements for equipment maintenance ease and operational reliability.

[0073] In the two aforementioned embodiments, the circulation loop solution enables multiple heat utilization and stable temperature control, but the equipment structure is relatively complex, requiring a circulation pump and piping system. The one-way drainage solution is simple in structure and easy to maintain, but the continuous supply and discharge of heated water requires additional consideration, and the heat utilization rate is relatively low. Based on the specific product design requirements, user environment, and energy consumption considerations, designers can flexibly select the appropriate heated water circulation method, or combine the advantages of both to design a hybrid heat exchange system to further optimize the performance and user experience of water treatment equipment 10.

[0074] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first thermostat 310 is connected to the water storage tank 210 and the temperature-controlled water tank 320, respectively, and the temperature-controlled water tank 320 is disposed within the first mounting cavity 111 of the housing structure 100. The water storage tank 210, the first thermostat 310, and the temperature-controlled water tank 320 are tightly fitted together to form a compact assembly structure, effectively saving overall space in the device and improving the integration of the internal structure.

[0075] This compact, fitted structural design shortens the heat conduction path between the hot and cold ends of the first thermostat 310, improving thermal coupling efficiency and thereby enhancing the cooling effect on the water in the water storage tank 210 and the heat dissipation capacity of the thermostat 320. By optimizing the contact surfaces between the first thermostat 310, the water storage tank 210, and the thermostat 320, and utilizing highly thermally conductive materials or media (such as thermal grease and thermal pads), efficient and stable heat conduction is further ensured, achieving highly effective heat exchange between the hot and cold ends of the first thermostat 310.

[0076] Furthermore, placing the temperature-controlled water tank 320 within the first mounting cavity 111 not only achieves structural spatial integration, but also utilizes the shape and size of the first mounting cavity 111 to position and secure the temperature-controlled water tank 320, ensuring its stable installation within the device and preventing displacement or loosening due to vibration or thermal expansion and contraction. The positioning function of the first mounting cavity 111 also facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the temperature-controlled water tank 320, improving production and assembly efficiency and facilitating subsequent maintenance.

[0077] Specifically, the size and shape of the first mounting cavity 111 can be customized based on the dimensions of the temperature-controlled water tank 320, ensuring that it securely encloses the temperature-controlled water tank 320 while allowing for adequate clearance for installation and thermal expansion and contraction. An elastic cushion or sealing ring can also be positioned between the first mounting cavity 111 and the temperature-controlled water tank 320 to enhance vibration isolation and sealing performance, thereby improving the operational stability and durability of the device.

[0078] Through the compact fit of the water storage tank 210, the first temperature control component 310, and the temperature control water tank 320, and the effective positioning of the first installation cavity 111, this embodiment not only realizes the rational utilization of the internal space of the equipment and the improvement of the thermal management efficiency, but also improves the mechanical stability and reliability of the overall structure, meets the technical requirements of efficient cooling and heat dissipation, and significantly enhances the performance of the water treatment equipment and the user experience.

[0079] In another embodiment, the temperature-controlled water tank 320 is disposed outside the first mounting cavity 111 of the housing structure 100, and the housing structure 100 is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet, each of which is connected to the first temperature-controlled component 310 and connected to the temperature-controlled water tank 320 via a pipe. This external temperature-controlled water tank 320 arrangement has significant structural and functional advantages over the embodiment in which the temperature-controlled water tank 320 is disposed within the first mounting cavity 111.

[0080] First, the external placement of the temperature-controlled water tank 320 avoids the traditional internal temperature-controlled water tank from occupying the internal space of the water treatment equipment 10, thereby reducing interference with the heat dissipation conditions of other devices within the equipment. Because the internal temperature-controlled water tank occupies a limited installation cavity space, it may restrict the layout of internal devices and the heat dissipation channels. Especially in the case of a compact device structure, internal heat accumulation can easily lead to an overall temperature rise, affecting the stability and service life of the device. After the temperature-controlled water tank 320 is externalized, this internal heat accumulation problem can be effectively avoided, ensuring a good heat dissipation environment for each component within the device and improving the overall thermal management level of the device.

[0081] Secondly, the external design greatly enhances the flexibility of the thermostatic water tank 320's placement. The thermostatic water tank 320 can be freely placed based on on-site space conditions and equipment layout requirements. It can be placed on the side, top, or bottom of the equipment, or its placement can be optimized based on the piping design to achieve optimal heat dissipation and facilitate repair and maintenance. Connecting the first thermostatic component 310 and the thermostatic water tank 320 via a pipe not only ensures effective heat exchange between the thermostatic water tank 320 and the heat dissipation end of the first thermostatic component 310, but also makes the overall equipment structure more modular, facilitating subsequent expansion or replacement of the thermostatic water tank 320 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0082] Furthermore, auxiliary waterway structures, such as waterway plates and waterway pipes, can be installed within the housing structure 100 to guide the hot water source through the water inlet and outlet of the first thermostat 310. Both the water inlet and outlet are located outside the housing structure 100, facilitating piping connections to the external thermostat 320. This design ensures smooth flow of the hot water source and effective heat transfer, while also achieving a rational layout of the waterway within the housing structure, avoiding tangled piping and improving the overall sealing and safety of the device.

[0083] Specifically, pipe connections can be made with pressure-resistant and corrosion-resistant hoses, rigid pipes, or composite pipes. Pipe interfaces can utilize various fastening methods, such as quick-connect fittings, threaded connections, or flange connections, to facilitate assembly, disassembly, and maintenance. To prevent pipeline leaks, sealing rings or sealant can be installed at the interfaces to improve the sealing performance and operational safety of the connections. The external thermostatic water tank 320 solution optimizes thermal management design by rationally separating the thermostatic water tank from the internal space of the device, enhancing heat dissipation efficiency and device operational stability.

[0084] Furthermore, the inner wall of the first installation cavity 111 is provided with a positioning surface 1111, and the water storage tank 210 is provided with a corresponding first positioning wall 212. The first positioning wall 212 and the positioning surface 1111 form a positioning and mating structure. This positioning structure allows the water storage tank 210 to be accurately positioned and stably fixed within the first installation cavity 111, thereby indirectly effectively controlling the installation position of the first thermostat 310.

[0085] Specifically, the positioning surface 1111 and the first positioning wall 212 are typically designed to have mutually matching shapes and structures, such as a concave-convex fit, a slot fit, or a flat butt joint. This ensures that the water tank 210 is self-positioned when installed in the first installation cavity 111, preventing the water tank 210 from shaking or shifting within the cavity. This allows the first thermostat 310, a key component connecting the water tank 210 and the temperature-controlled water tank 320, to be precisely spatially positioned at the location where its working end is thermally coupled to the water tank 210, ensuring both heat exchange efficiency and mechanical stability of the first thermostat 310.

[0086] Furthermore, the cooperation between the first positioning wall 212 and the positioning surface 1111 simplifies the assembly process of the first thermostat 310. Since the positioning of the water storage tank 210 is already determined, the first thermostat 310 only needs to be installed according to the predetermined position and connected to the water storage tank 210 and the thermostat water tank 320. No additional adjustments are required, which improves assembly efficiency and reduces the risk of human installation errors.

[0087] To enhance positioning stability, the contact surface between the first positioning wall 212 and the positioning surface 1111 can be made of a wear-resistant and anti-slip material or coating, such as a rubber gasket, a silicone ring, or a high-friction plastic material. This can both cushion mechanical vibrations and prevent loosening between the water storage tank 210 and the housing structure 100. Furthermore, the elasticity of these materials helps alleviate stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction, thereby extending the service life of the device.

[0088] This positioning structure not only ensures the installation stability of the water tank 210 but also indirectly ensures the precise installation position of the first thermostat 310, optimizing the thermodynamic performance of the cooling system and increasing the overall reliability and service life of the device. Furthermore, this positioning structure facilitates device disassembly and maintenance, allowing users to quickly and accurately remove and install the water tank 210 and first thermostat 310, reducing maintenance costs and improving the user experience.

[0089] In one embodiment, the temperature-controlled water tank 320 is further provided with a second positioning wall 321, 321. When the water storage tank 210, the first temperature-controlled element 310, and the temperature-controlled water tank 320 are assembled, the first positioning wall 212 and the second positioning wall 321, 321 respectively engage with the positioning surfaces 1111 on the inner wall of the first installation cavity 111 to achieve positioning. This multi-point positioning structure not only effectively improves the installation convenience of the entire assembly, but also significantly enhances the installation stability and mechanical reliability.

[0090] Specifically, the first positioning wall 212 and the second positioning wall 321321 cooperate with the positioning surface 1111 to constrain and position the water storage tank 210 and the temperature-controlled water tank 320, preventing relative displacement caused by vibration, thermal expansion and contraction, or external forces during operation. This multi-point positioning structure provides overall spatial positioning for the first temperature-controlled element 310 and its connecting components, ensuring that the thermal coupling position between the working end 311 of the first temperature-controlled element 310 and the water in the water storage tank 210, as well as the connection position between the heat dissipation end 312 and the temperature-controlled water tank 320, are both in the optimal design state, maximizing heat exchange efficiency and equipment stability.

[0091] The cross-sectional shape of the positioning surface 1111 can take various forms depending on the actual structural design requirements, with common shapes including arcuate and trapezoidal. The arcuate positioning surface 1111 provides a continuous contact surface, facilitating adaptive positioning of the water storage tank 210 and the temperature-controlled water tank 320, reducing the impact of assembly tolerances, and helping to buffer mechanical vibration and improve shock resistance. The trapezoidal positioning surface 1111, through a combination of inclined and flat surfaces, achieves a snap-fit mechanism between the positioning wall and the positioning surface, enhancing the lateral fixing force and improving the structure's resistance to misalignment.

[0092] Furthermore, the first positioning wall 212 and / or the second positioning wall 321321 can also be designed to match the curved or trapezoidal positioning surface 1111, achieving a tight fit and precise positioning. During assembly, this shape design helps guide and restrict the installation direction and position of the water storage tank 210 and the temperature-controlled water tank 320, reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly efficiency. This multi-point positioning structure ensures quick and accurate positioning of each component, particularly during automated assembly lines or on-site rapid maintenance.

[0093] Furthermore, positioning structures with curved or trapezoidal cross-sections can be combined with elastic cushioning materials (such as rubber washers and silicone gaskets) to effectively absorb stress caused by mechanical vibration and thermal expansion and contraction, preventing wear and loosening of the positioning structure and extending the service life of the equipment. Elastic cushioning materials also improve sealing performance, preventing moisture and impurities from entering the positioning gap, and ensuring a stable internal environment for the equipment.

[0094] This multi-point positioning solution not only ensures the stable installation of the water storage tank 210 and the temperature-controlled water tank 320, but also improves the overall performance and reliability of the heat exchange system by precisely controlling the installation position of the first temperature-controlled element 310. This effectively prevents problems such as decreased thermal coupling efficiency or structural damage caused by loose components during long-term operation, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the water treatment equipment.

[0095] Specifically, the housing structure 100 serves as the mounting platform for the water treatment device 10, carrying and securing the water storage device 200, the temperature control device 300, and the filter element assembly 400. The rational design and division of the housing structure 100 not only ensures the secure installation of each functional module but also effectively isolates the modules from each other, thereby optimizing the overall structural layout and operational performance of the device.

[0096] The water storage device 200 is primarily used to store filtered water after being processed by the filter element assembly 400, providing users with purified water that meets drinking or daily living standards. The water storage device 200 not only stores water but also delivers purified water to the outside through a port or outlet for direct access by the user.

[0097] The temperature control device 300 is thermally coupled to the water storage device 200 and can cool or heat the water in the water storage device 200 to achieve a predetermined temperature control effect. The cooling function of the temperature control device 300 can adopt technologies such as semiconductor refrigeration elements or compressor refrigeration systems to achieve rapid and stable cooling; the heating function can be achieved through electric heating tubes or other heating elements. This temperature control function not only improves the user comfort of the device, but also provides purified water at an appropriate temperature according to different seasons or user needs. The temperature control device 300 is at least partially disposed in the first installation cavity 111, facilitating close cooperation with the water storage device 200 and improving heat transfer efficiency.

[0098] The filter element assembly 400 serves as the core filtration unit of the water purification equipment and can be installed with various types of filter elements, such as reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filter elements and activated carbon filter elements. The RO membrane filter element has the ability to efficiently remove soluble impurities and microorganisms in water, and can significantly improve the purity of water quality; the activated carbon filter element is mainly used to adsorb odors, residual chlorine and organic matter in water, improving the taste and safety of water. The filter element assembly 400 is arranged in the second installation cavity 112, independent of the water storage device 200 and the temperature control device 300, which is conducive to the replacement and maintenance of the filter element and reduces the impact on other modules. The design of the filter element assembly 400 can be a single filter element or a multi-stage filter element combination. The specific number can be one, two or more to meet different purification needs and improve the filtration effect and water quality assurance.

[0099] In one embodiment, the filter element assembly 400 is further divided into a filter element holder 410 and a filter element pump 420 to achieve more flexible and efficient water treatment. The filter element holder 410 is specifically designed to accommodate an external filter element, which can include various types such as RO membrane filters and activated carbon filters. This design offers the advantage of allowing users to select different filter elements based on their specific needs, achieving a personalized water purification solution.

[0100] Filter pump 420 is connected to filter holder 410 via a pipe and is responsible for pumping water into the filter element for filtration. The design of filter pump 420 is particularly crucial when using RO membrane filters, due to their high water pressure requirements. Filter pump 420 provides stable and strong water pressure, ensuring the proper operation of the RO membrane filter element, improving filtration efficiency and water quality. In this context, the flow and pressure regulation functions of filter pump 420 can be optimized according to different usage scenarios to meet the user's specific needs for water quality and water supply.

[0101] Furthermore, the design of filter holder 410 also takes into account the convenience of filter replacement. Users can easily remove and replace the external filter without specialized tools, significantly reducing maintenance costs and improving the user experience. The linkage design between filter holder 410 and filter pump 420 also effectively reduces water flow resistance, ensuring smooth water flow and improving overall filtration efficiency.

[0102] In one embodiment, the housing structure 100 includes a central frame 110 and a partition 120. The partition 120 is connected to the central frame 110 and separates the interior of the central frame 110 into a first installation cavity 111 and a second installation cavity 112. The partition 120 is at least partially positioned between the filter element assembly 400 and the water storage device 200, providing spatial separation and functional zoning. This structural design allows the housing structure 100 to rationally divide the internal space, allowing for the placement of different functional components, preventing interference and improving the overall system layout and operational efficiency.

[0103] The housing structure 100 can be directly molded using, for example, an injection molding process. Injection molding allows for the integrated manufacturing of the middle frame 110 and the partition 120, reducing the number of parts, assembly time, and costs, while also improving the structural seal and mechanical strength. Through direct molding, the partition 120 can be tightly integrated with the middle frame 110, forming a solid spatial partition. This effectively prevents cross-contamination of fluids or impurities between the filter element assembly 400 and the water storage device 200, ensuring the purification effect and stable operation of the water treatment equipment.

[0104] The provision of partition 120 not only effectively separates the interior space of center frame 110, forming first and second mounting cavities 111, 112, but also provides support for center frame 110 through its structural rigidity, thereby enhancing the overall strength and rigidity of housing structure 100. During device operation, factors such as water impact, vibration, and thermal expansion and contraction significantly impact the housing structure. As a built-in support structure, partition 120 effectively disperses and withstands these mechanical stresses, preventing deformation, cracking, or instability of the housing, thereby enhancing the durability and safety of the device.

[0105] In some preferred embodiments, the partition 120 and the middle frame 110 are connected in a removable manner, such as by screw fastening or a plug-in structure. The screw connection ensures a secure connection between the partition 120 and the middle frame 110 while allowing for easy disassembly, facilitating subsequent maintenance, repair, or component replacement. A plug-in connection, using a snap-fit or protruding groove structure, enables rapid assembly and disassembly, making it suitable for applications requiring frequent maintenance or rapid on-site assembly and disassembly.

[0106] The detachable connection design allows maintenance personnel to quickly and easily remove the partition 120 to inspect or replace the filter element assembly 400, water storage device 200, and related components, reducing maintenance time and labor, improving the device's maintainability and user experience. Furthermore, the connection between the partition 120 and the middle frame 110 can be optimized based on the actual use environment and mechanical requirements, such as selecting corrosion-resistant screws and strengthening the plug-in buckle to ensure a secure and durable connection.

[0107] In a preferred embodiment, the opening of the first installation cavity 111 is designed to face the larger surface of the housing structure 100. This arrangement facilitates easy installation of the water storage device 200 and the temperature control device 300 during assembly. Opening toward the larger surface not only provides ample operating space, facilitating accurate placement of the water storage device 200 and the temperature control device 300 by manual or automated assembly equipment, but also facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance operations, improving assembly efficiency and ease of maintenance.

[0108] Correspondingly, the opening of the second mounting cavity 112 is designed to face the short side of the housing structure 100, suitable for installing the external filter element assembly 400. This arrangement optimizes the space utilization of the filter element and facilitates the rapid replacement and maintenance of the filter element. Especially in actual applications where the filter element needs to be replaced regularly, it can significantly shorten maintenance time and improve the user experience. At the same time, the short side opening design facilitates the fixing and sealing of the filter element assembly 400, ensuring the water flow tightness and filtration effect of the filter element during operation.

[0109] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the housing structure 100 is further provided with a third mounting cavity 113, located between the first mounting cavity 111 and the second mounting cavity 112, for accommodating the filter cartridge pump 420. By rationally dividing the third mounting cavity 113 within the middle frame 110, the filter cartridge pump 420 is spatially separated from the water storage device 200 and the filter cartridge assembly 400, thereby enabling the various functional modules to function independently yet closely together.

[0110] The provision of third mounting cavity 113 offers several advantages. First, the filter pump 420 is located in the center of the housing structure, which helps evenly distribute the weight of the entire device. This prevents weight shifts that could cause unstable installation or tilting during use, thereby improving device stability and operational safety. Second, the independent design of third mounting cavity 113 effectively isolates the vibration and noise of the filter pump 420, reducing its impact on the water storage device 200 and filter assembly 400, while also facilitating heat dissipation and maintenance of the pump.

[0111] In addition, the housing structure 100 further includes a cover plate 130 detachably connected to the middle frame 110, which is used to cover the first installation cavity 111, the second installation cavity 112, and the third installation cavity 113. The use of the cover plate 130 not only ensures the sealing of each installation cavity, preventing dust, moisture, and impurities from entering, protecting the normal working environment of the internal components, but also enhances the overall aesthetics and structural integrity of the device.

[0112] The removable design of the cover plate 130 greatly enhances the device's maintenance convenience. Users or maintenance personnel simply remove the cover plate 130 to quickly access the water storage device 200, filter element assembly 400, and filter element pump 420 within the first, second, and third installation cavities 111, 112, and 113, allowing for cleaning, repair, or replacement. This saves maintenance time and reduces maintenance effort. Furthermore, the connection between the cover plate 130 and the middle frame 110 can be achieved using a variety of methods, including screws, snaps, and plug-ins, depending on actual needs, ensuring both secure connection and easy removal.

[0113] In general, the shell structure 100 achieves efficient and convenient assembly and maintenance by rationally designing the opening direction and spatial layout of the first installation cavity 111, the second installation cavity 112 and the third installation cavity 113, combined with the removable cover 130, ensuring the independence and coordinated operation of various functional components inside the device, and improving the overall stability, reliability and user experience of the device.
