[0002] In the related art, the biggest risk of using an under-sink water purifier is a crisis caused by water leakage in the internal pipes or filter element of the water purifier. The sealing structure is particularly critical at the connection between the filter element assembly and the waterway plate. In the related art, one solution is to directly open a sealing groove on the periphery of the interface, and the sealing ring is installed in the sealing groove. However, a parting line will be formed during the injection molding process of the sealing groove. When the parting line is not of a good size, water seepage will occur, and higher requirements are placed on production stability. Another solution is to install the sealing ring inside the interface, and fix the sealing ring by ultrasonic welding to another fixing. The advantage is that there is no parting line, and the disadvantage is that the welding process is increased and the cost is higher. Utility Model Content

[0038] The following describes a water purification device and a filter element assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the water purification device can be a water purifier, and the filter element assembly 100 is arranged in the water purifier for filtering water. A water purifier is a device that can process a water source containing impurities and harmful substances to make it pure and drinkable. Its main function is to filter out harmful substances such as suspended matter, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, etc. in the water, while retaining minerals and trace elements in the water that are beneficial to the human body. There are many types of water purifiers, and according to their different filtering methods, they can be mainly divided into reverse osmosis water purifiers, ultrafiltration water purifiers, activated carbon water purifiers, ceramic filtration water purifiers, etc. In general, a water purifier is an important equipment that can effectively improve water quality and ensure the safety of people's drinking water.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the filter element assembly 100 provided according to the present invention includes a main body 110 , a fixing sleeve 120 and a sealing ring 130 .

[0040] Specifically, the main body 110 has a filtering function, and a water outlet pipe 111 is provided on the main body 110. Water entering the main body 110, waste water generated after filtering, and pure water can all flow out through the corresponding water outlet pipe 111. The water outlet pipe 111 is suitable for connecting and communicating with the waterway board. The waterway board can be provided with a raw water channel, a waste water channel, and a pure water channel. The water outlet pipe 111 on the main body 110 can be one or more, and each water outlet pipe 111 is connected and communicated with the corresponding waterway on the waterway board.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a limiting step 112 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111, and the fixing sleeve 120 is sleeved on the free end of the water outlet pipe 111, and a limiting groove 113 is defined between the portion of the fixing sleeve 120 located on the outer periphery of the water outlet pipe 111 and the limiting step 112. It can be understood that part of the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111 serves as the bottom wall of the limiting groove 113, the end surface of the limiting step 112 facing the fixing sleeve 120 serves as one side wall of the limiting groove 113, and the end surface of the fixing sleeve 120 facing the limiting step 112 serves as the other side wall of the limiting groove 113, so that the end surface of the limiting step 112 facing the fixing sleeve 120 and the end surface of the fixing sleeve 120 facing the limiting step 112 are spaced apart in the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 111, and the distance between the two can be used as the width of the limiting groove 113.

[0042] See also Figure 3As shown, the limiting groove 113 extends along the circumferential direction of the water outlet pipe 111, so that the sealing ring 130 can be fitted on the outer circumference of the water outlet pipe 111, and the sealing ring 130 is located in the limiting groove 113. The end surface of the limiting step 112 facing the fixing sleeve 120 and the end surface of the fixing sleeve 120 facing the limiting step 112 have a limiting effect on the sealing ring 130, preventing the sealing ring 130 from moving along the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 111, thereby limiting the position of the sealing ring 130. The sealing ring 130 here can be used to seal the gap between the water outlet pipe 111 and the waterway plate, preventing water from flowing out of the assembly gap between the water outlet pipe 111 and the waterway plate, thereby improving the sealing performance of the water purification device.

[0043] According to the filter element assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, a fixing sleeve 120 is provided at the end of the water outlet pipe 111 of the filter element assembly 100, and the sealing ring 130 is limited at the water outlet pipe 111 by using the fixing sleeve 120, so that the sealing property of the sealing ring 130 can be used to seal the connection between the water outlet pipe 111 and the waterway plate. On the one hand, the sealing performance between the water outlet pipe 111 and the waterway plate can be improved by improving the assembly stability of the sealing ring 130; on the other hand, by using the fixing sleeve 120 to limit the sealing ring 130, the process of welding the sealing ring to the water outlet pipe can be eliminated, thereby simplifying the processing technology of the filter element assembly 100 and reducing its production cost.

[0044] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing sleeve 120 may include an inner ring limiting portion 121, an outer ring limiting portion 122 and a connecting portion 123 connected between the inner ring limiting portion 121 and the outer ring limiting portion 122, the connecting portion 123 is attached to the end surface of the water outlet pipe 111, the inner ring limiting portion 121 is attached to the inner peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111, the outer ring limiting portion 122 is attached to the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111, and a limiting groove 113 is defined between the outer ring limiting portion 122 and the limiting step 112. In this way, the inner ring limiting portion 121, the outer ring limiting portion 122 and the connecting portion 123 define a wrapping space, the end of the water outlet pipe 111 is inserted into the wrapping space, the inner ring limiting portion 121, the outer ring limiting portion 122 and the connecting portion 123 are firmly fixed at the water outlet pipe 111, so that the sealing ring 130 can be stably fixed at the water outlet pipe 111.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the fixing sleeve 120 can be an integrally formed part. It should be noted that the integrally formed process can produce parts with complex shapes and precise dimensions through a one-time forming process, and no additional processing is required during the forming process, thereby reducing material waste and costs; in addition, the integrally formed process has a short process cycle, high production efficiency, and can produce parts with good surface quality and precision.

[0046] In some examples, at least one of the sealing ring 130 and the fixing sleeve 120 can be a rubber part. It should be noted that the rubber material has good elasticity and flexibility, can provide stable support force, prevent the fixing parts from shaking or loosening during use, thereby ensuring the assembly stability between the filter element assembly 100 and the waterway plate. In addition, rubber has good wear resistance and can effectively resist external friction and wear, thereby extending the service life of the fixing sleeve 120 or the sealing ring 130; the rubber material has good corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various chemical substances, thereby ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of the fixing sleeve 120 or the sealing ring 130. In general, the fixing sleeve 120 or the sealing ring 130 made of rubber material has multiple advantages such as good stability, strong wear resistance, shockproof and noise reduction, chemical corrosion resistance, easy installation and replacement, etc.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the utility model, there are multiple sealing rings 130, and the multiple sealing rings 130 are arranged along the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 111. The main function of the sealing ring 130 is to prevent liquid or gas from leaking from the connection. Providing multiple sealing rings 130 can increase the contact area of ​​the sealing surface, thereby improving the sealing performance. This is because each sealing ring 130 can form an independent sealing area, even if one of the sealing rings 130 fails, the other sealing rings 130 can still maintain a sealed state, thereby avoiding the occurrence of leakage. Since the working pressure of each sealing ring 130 is small, the wear rate of a single sealing ring 130 can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the sealing ring 130. Providing multiple sealing rings 130 can improve the reliability of the equipment. Because even if one of the sealing rings 130 fails, the other sealing rings 130 can still maintain a sealed state. In general, providing multiple sealing rings 130 can improve the sealing performance of the equipment, extend the service life, improve the reliability of the equipment, facilitate maintenance and replacement, and improve the working efficiency of the equipment.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least a portion of the inner wall of the limiting groove 113 is an arc-shaped surface, so that the sealing element can be stably limited in the limiting groove 113 .

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner ring limiter 121 is provided with a first engaging portion 124, and the inner peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111 is provided with a second engaging portion 114, the first engaging portion 124 and the second engaging portion 114 are engaged, one of the first engaging portion 124 and the second engaging portion 114 is an engaging protrusion, and the other is an engaging groove. The engaging protrusion can be engaged in the engaging groove, so that the engagement stability between the inner ring limiter 121 and the water outlet pipe 111 can be improved by engaging in the manner of engaging, and the fixing sleeve 120 can be prevented from being separated from the water outlet pipe 111.

[0050] Further, see Figure 5 As shown, there can be multiple inner circle limiting parts 121, and the multiple inner circle limiting parts 121 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the outlet pipe 111. The existence of multiple inner circle limiting parts 121 can increase the bearing capacity of the structure. This is because each fixing part can bear a part of the force, so that the entire structure can withstand greater pressure or weight. By setting up multiple inner circle limiting parts 121, the force can be effectively dispersed and balanced, and the wear of a single inner circle limiting part 121 can be reduced, thereby improving the durability of the overall structure and making the overall structure more stable. If a problem occurs in a certain inner circle limiting part 121, the remaining inner circle limiting parts 121 can also play a role of limiting and fixing, so that multiple fixing parts can provide multiple lines of defense and increase the safety of the structure. In general, setting up multiple inner circle limiting parts 121 can improve the stability, safety and adaptability of the object, making the fixation more firm and reliable.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer ring limiting portion 122 is a closed annular structure, and the inner ring of the outer ring limiting portion 122 is in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111. It should be noted that the "closed" here can be understood as the outer ring limiting portion 122 completely wrapping the outer wall surface of the water outlet pipe 111 in the circumferential direction of the water outlet pipe 111. In this way, the water outlet pipe 111 can be completely wrapped in the circumferential direction of the water outlet pipe 111, so that the fixing sleeve 120 can be stably and firmly fitted on the end of the water outlet pipe 111.

[0052] In order to improve the structural strength of the fixing sleeve 120, according to some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 111 , the length of the outer ring limiting portion 122 is smaller than the length of the inner ring limiting portion 121 ; in the radial direction of the water outlet pipe 111 , the thickness of the outer ring limiting portion 122 is greater than the thickness of the inner ring limiting portion 121 .

[0053] See below Figure 1-Figure 5 The filter element assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail. It is worth noting that the following description is only an exemplary description and is not a specific limitation of the present invention.

[0054] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the filter element assembly 100 includes a main body 110, a fixing sleeve 120 and a sealing ring 130. The main body 110 has a filtering function, and three water outlet pipes 111 are provided on the main body 110. A raw water channel, a waste water channel and a pure water channel can be set on the waterway plate. One of the three water outlet pipes 111 can be used as an inlet pipe, and the water outlet pipe 111 is connected and communicated with the inlet water channel, and another water outlet pipe 111 can be used as a waste water pipe, and the water outlet pipe 111 is connected and communicated with the waste water channel, and another water outlet pipe 111 can be used as a pure water pipe, and the water outlet pipe 111 is connected and communicated with the pure water channel. A sealing ring 130 is provided at the end of each water outlet pipe 111, and the sealing ring 130 on each water outlet pipe 111 is fixed by a fixing sleeve 120.

[0055] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a limiting step 112 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the water pipe, a fixing sleeve 120 is sleeved on the free end of the water outlet pipe 111, and a limiting groove 113 is defined between the portion of the fixing sleeve 120 located on the outer periphery of the water outlet pipe 111 and the limiting step 112. The fixing sleeve 120 may include an inner ring limiting portion 121, an outer ring limiting portion 122, and a connecting portion 123 connected between the inner ring limiting portion 121 and the outer ring limiting portion 122, the connecting portion 123 is attached to the end face of the water outlet pipe 111, the inner ring limiting portion 121 is attached to the inner peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111, the outer ring limiting portion 122 is attached to the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111, and a limiting groove 113 is defined between the outer ring limiting portion 122 and the limiting step 112. In this way, the inner circle limiting portion 121, the outer circle limiting portion 122 and the connecting portion 123 define a wrapping space, the end of the water outlet pipe 111 is inserted into the wrapping space, the inner circle limiting portion 121, the outer circle limiting portion 122 and the connecting portion 123 are firmly fixed to the water outlet pipe 111, so that the sealing ring 130 can be stably fixed to the water outlet pipe 111.

[0056] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner ring limiter 121 is provided with a first engaging portion 124, and the inner peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111 is provided with a second engaging portion 114, the first engaging portion 124 and the second engaging portion 114 are engaged, one of the first engaging portion 124 and the second engaging portion 114 is an engaging protrusion, and the other is an engaging groove. The engaging protrusion can be engaged in the engaging groove, so that the engagement stability between the inner ring limiter 121 and the water outlet pipe 111 can be improved by engaging in the manner of engaging, and the fixing sleeve 120 can be prevented from being separated from the water outlet pipe 111. Figure 5 As shown, there may be a plurality of inner circle limiting portions 121, and the plurality of inner circle limiting portions 121 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the water outlet pipe 111. The presence of the plurality of inner circle limiting portions 121 can increase the bearing capacity of the structure.

[0057] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer ring limiter 122 is a closed annular structure, and the inner ring of the outer ring limiter 122 fits the outer peripheral wall of the water outlet pipe 111. In this way, the water outlet pipe 111 can be completely wrapped in the circumferential direction of the water outlet pipe 111, so that the fixing sleeve 120 can be stably and firmly fitted on the end of the water outlet pipe 111. In the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 111, the length of the outer ring limiter 122 is less than the length of the inner ring limiter 121; in the radial direction of the water outlet pipe 111, the thickness of the outer ring limiter 122 is greater than the thickness of the inner ring limiter 121.

[0059] Specifically, the filter element mounting seat is arranged in the housing, the filter element assembly 100 is arranged on the filter element mounting seat, and the filter element mounting seat and the housing are an integrally formed part.

On the one hand, the sealing between the water outlet pipe 111 and the waterway plate can be improved by improving the assembly stability of the sealing ring 130; on the other hand, by utilizing the fixing sleeve 120 to limit the sealing ring 130, the process of welding the sealing ring to the water outlet pipe can be eliminated, thereby simplifying the processing technology of the filter element assembly 100 and reducing its production cost.
