The vibration of the inlet and outlet pipes will be transmitted to the entire machine, thereby increasing the vibration amplitude of the water purifier casing, thereby affecting the user experience.

[0003] Therefore, the vibration problem of the water inlet and outlet pipes in the water purifier needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defect of large vibration of water inlet and outlet pipes in the water purifier in the prior art, and to provide a water box assembly for a water purifier and a water purifier including the same.

[0005] The utility model solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A water box assembly for a water purifier comprises a water box for limiting the position of a water pipe and a cover plate for covering the water pipe and connected to the water box.

[0007] The water box assembly of the water purifier also includes a vibration isolation structure, which is sleeved on the connection end of the water box close to the cover plate and connected to the cover plate through fasteners. The surface where the vibration isolation structure and the cover plate are in contact is elastic.

[0008] In this technical solution, the design of the vibration isolation structure can effectively reduce the transmission of water pipe vibration to the water purifier housing. Specifically, by setting a vibration isolation structure on the connection end of the water box close to the cover plate, and using an elastic surface between the vibration isolation structure and the cover plate, the vibration of the water pipe and the transmission of the water box vibration can be effectively absorbed and reduced, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the whole machine. In addition, by reducing the transmission of vibration, the user experience can also be improved.

[0009] Preferably, the vibration isolation structure includes a connecting member and an elastic buffer pad, wherein the buffer pad is at least partially sandwiched between the water box and the cover plate, and the connecting member is disposed around the end of the water box and at least partially covers the buffer pad.

[0010] In the present technical solution, the above-mentioned structural form is adopted, and the connecting part can provide additional support and play the role of fixing the buffer pad on the water box and the cover plate, which can not only enhance the overall stability of the buffer pad set on the water box, ensure that the buffer pad maintains the correct position during operation, and prevent the buffer pad from being displaced or damaged due to vibration or external pressure, but also minimize vibration transmission, effectively enhancing the stability and reliability of the vibration isolation structure.

[0011] Preferably, the water box includes an extension section connected to the cover plate and arranged parallel to the cover plate, the connecting piece is a bending structure including a horizontal section and a vertical section, the buffer pad is clamped between the extension section and the cover plate, the horizontal section is covered on the extension section, and the vertical section surrounds the extension section and the buffer pad.

[0012] In the technical solution, the connector in the form of a bent structure effectively fixes the buffer pad between the extension section of the water box and the cover plate through the design of the horizontal section and the vertical section. The horizontal section is covered on the extension section to provide additional support in the horizontal direction. The vertical section surrounds the extension section and the buffer pad, which can firmly fix the extension section and the buffer pad together as a whole, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the vibration isolation structure connection. In addition, the buffer pad is sandwiched between the extension section and the cover plate and surrounded by the vertical section, which can effectively isolate the vibration transmission between the water box and the cover plate.

[0013] Preferably, along the central axis direction of the water box, the cross-sectional shape of the buffer pad is a U-shaped structure, a groove for accommodating the extension section is provided on the buffer pad, and the connecting member is arranged on the outer wall surface of the buffer pad.

[0014] In this technical solution, the buffer pad adopts a U-shaped structure, which can better accommodate the extension section. The design of the U-shaped structure forms a stable base around the extension section, which effectively prevents the extension section from shifting or falling off during the water pipe flow, thereby enhancing the fixation between the extension section and the buffer pad. In addition, the buffer pad is provided with a groove for accommodating the extension section. This design can make the extension section and the buffer pad fit more closely, thereby reducing vibration transmission. The groove can effectively absorb and buffer vibration, preventing it from propagating to the water box and the water purifier as a whole, thereby improving the vibration isolation effect.

[0015] Preferably, a connection hole for a fastener to pass through is provided at the inflection point of the vibration isolation structure, and the fastener is a bolt, which passes through the cross section of the connector, the buffer pad, the extension part, the buffer pad and the cover plate in sequence.

[0016] In the present technical solution, a connection hole is set at the inflection point to provide a location for fixing fasteners, which can ensure that the fasteners firmly connect the vibration isolation structure to the water box and the cover plate, help prevent loosening or falling off during the operation of the water purifier, ensure the long-term effectiveness of the vibration isolation structure, and enhance the stability of the entire vibration isolation structure.

[0017] Preferably, the length of the connecting member extending toward the cover plate is not greater than the thickness of the buffer pad.

[0018] In the present technical solution, this design can effectively prevent the connecting piece from directly colliding with the cover plate, thereby avoiding damage, wear or other additional vibrations that may be caused by mechanical impact. By reducing the contact between the connecting piece and the cover plate to a minimum, the overall vibration amplitude of the water purifier can be reduced and its durability and stability can be improved.

[0019] Preferably, along a radial direction perpendicular to the central axis of the water box, a cross-sectional dimension of the buffer pad is larger than a cross-sectional dimension of the connecting member.

[0020] In the technical solution, the larger size of the cushion pad can provide more cushioning and absorption capacity, so that it can better reduce the vibration amplitude. In addition, the hole between the cover plate and the water box can also be better covered.

[0021] Preferably, the cross-sectional dimensions of the connecting member are matched with the cross-sectional dimensions of the buffer pad.

[0022] In this technical solution, the adapted cross-sectional dimensions mean that there is a better match between the connector and the buffer pad, which can evenly absorb and disperse the vibration impact, ensure that the force transmission between the connector and the buffer pad is more uniform, effectively alleviate the impact of the vibration, and reduce the impact on the water box and the water purifier as a whole. In addition, the adapted cross-sectional dimensions can ensure close contact between the connector and the buffer pad, improve the stability of the entire vibration isolation structure, and help maintain a good working condition between the connector and the buffer pad, thereby maximizing the vibration isolation effect.

[0023] Preferably, the buffer pad is made of rubber, and / or the connecting piece is made of plastic.

[0024] In the present technical solution, rubber is selected as the material of the buffer pad because it has good elasticity and energy absorption performance, which can effectively alleviate vibration impact and absorb energy; plastic is selected as the material of the connector because it is light and has a certain elasticity, and can cooperate well with the rubber pad to jointly exert the best buffering effect and reduce the impact of the water box vibration on the whole machine. In addition, plastic has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and can maintain stable performance during long-term use, so that the connector can effectively resist erosion and wear of the external environment, and extend the service life of the vibration isolation structure. In addition, plastic has good insulation properties, which can effectively prevent the conduction of electric current, reduce the possibility of failure of electrical components due to vibration, and improve the safety and stability of the water purifier.

[0025] A water purifier comprises a water box assembly of the water purifier as described in any one of the above items.

[0026] In the present technical solution, the water purifier adopts the water box assembly of the water purifier with the above-mentioned structural form to reduce the impact of vibration on the entire water purifier. This design can effectively isolate external vibrations, improve the stability and reliability of the water purifier, and improve the user experience.

[0048] The present invention is further described below by way of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments.

[0049] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a water box 11 assembly 100 of a water purifier is disclosed, which includes a water box 11 for limiting a water pipe, a cover plate 12 for covering the water pipe and connected to the water box 11, and a vibration isolation structure 13, wherein the vibration isolation structure 13 is sleeved on the connecting end of the water box 11 close to the cover plate 12, and is connected to the cover plate 12 through fasteners, and the surface where the vibration isolation structure 13 and the cover plate 12 are in contact is elastic.

[0050] The cover plate 12 in this embodiment is specifically used to cover water pipes and circuits to protect the integrity of their components.

[0051] The extension direction of the water pipe is as follows: a through hole for the water supply pipe to enter and exit is provided on the water box 11. The number of the through holes is three and they are specifically arranged on the peripheral wall surface of the water box 11. The water pipe passes through the cover plate 12 and then passes through the through hole.

[0052] Therefore, in this embodiment, the design of the vibration isolation structure 13 can effectively reduce the transmission of water pipe vibration to the water purifier housing. Specifically, by arranging the vibration isolation structure 13 on the connection end of the water box 11 close to the cover plate 12, and using an elastic surface between the vibration isolation structure 13 and the cover plate 12, the vibration of the water pipe and the transmission of the vibration of the water box 11 can be effectively absorbed and reduced, thereby reducing the vibration amplitude of the whole machine. In addition, by reducing the transmission of vibration, the user experience can also be improved.

[0053] Preferably, the vibration isolation structure 13 is disposed around the end of the water box 11 to cover the connection end of the water box 11 and the cover plate 12 to the greatest extent.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the vibration isolation structure 13 includes a connecting member 131 and an elastic buffer pad 132 . The buffer pad 132 is at least partially sandwiched between the water box 11 and the cover plate 12 . The connecting member 131 is disposed around the end of the water box 11 and at least partially covers the buffer pad 132 .

[0055] By adopting the above-mentioned structural form, the connecting member 131 can provide additional support and play the role of fixing the buffer pad 132 on the water box 11 and the cover plate 12, which can not only enhance the overall stability of the buffer pad 132 set on the water box 11, ensure that the buffer pad 132 maintains the correct position during operation, and prevent the buffer pad 132 from being displaced or damaged due to vibration or external pressure, but also minimize vibration transmission, effectively enhancing the stability and reliability of the vibration isolation structure 13.

[0056] Preferably, the water box 11 includes an extension section 111 connected to the cover plate 12 and arranged in parallel with the cover plate 12, the connector 131 is a bending structure including a horizontal section 1311 and a vertical section 1312, the buffer pad 132 is sandwiched between the extension section 111 and the cover plate 12, the horizontal section 1311 is covered on the extension section 111, and the vertical section 1312 surrounds the extension section 111 and the buffer pad 132. Among them, the connector 131 in the form of a bending structure effectively fixes the buffer pad 132 between the extension section 111 of the water box 11 and the cover plate 12 through the design of the horizontal section 1311 and the vertical section 1312, the horizontal section 1311 is covered on the extension section 111, providing additional support in the horizontal direction, and the vertical section 1312 surrounds the extension section 111 and the buffer pad 132, so that the extension section 111 and the buffer pad 132 can be firmly fixed together as a whole, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection of the vibration isolation structure 13. Furthermore, the buffer pad 132 is sandwiched between the extension section 111 and the cover plate 12 and is surrounded by the vertical section 1312 , so that the vibration transmission between the water box 11 and the cover plate 12 can be effectively isolated.

[0057] In addition, if Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, along the central axis direction of the water box 11 , the cross-section of the buffer pad 132 is a U-shaped structure. A groove 1321 for accommodating the extension section 111 is provided on the buffer pad 132 , and the connecting member 131 is surrounded on the outer wall surface of the buffer pad 132 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the buffer pad 132 adopts a U-shaped structure, which can better accommodate the extension section 111. The design of the U-shaped structure forms a stable base around the extension section 111, which effectively prevents the extension section 111 from shifting or falling off during the water pipe flow process, thereby enhancing the fixity between the extension section 111 and the buffer pad 132. In addition, the buffer pad 132 is provided with a groove 1321 for accommodating the extension section 111. This design can make the extension section 111 and the buffer pad 132 fit more closely, thereby reducing vibration transmission. The groove 1321 can effectively absorb and buffer vibration, prevent it from propagating to the water box 11 and the water purifier as a whole, and improve the vibration isolation effect.

[0059] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, a connection hole 133 for fasteners to pass through is provided at the inflection point of the vibration isolation structure 13 . The fasteners are bolts that pass through the transverse section 1311 of the connector 131 , the buffer pad 132 , the extension portion, the buffer pad 132 and the cover plate 12 in sequence.

[0060] In this embodiment, a connection hole 133 is set at the inflection point to provide a location for fixing fasteners, which can ensure that the fasteners firmly connect the vibration isolation structure 13 set on the water box 11 and the cover plate 12, which helps to prevent loosening or falling off during the operation of the water purifier, ensure the long-term effectiveness of the vibration isolation structure 13, and enhance the stability of the entire vibration isolation structure 13.

[0061] Specifically, the length of the connecting member 131 extending toward the cover plate 12 is no greater than the thickness of the buffer pad 132. This design can effectively prevent the connecting member 131 from directly colliding with the cover plate 12, thereby avoiding damage, wear or other additional vibrations that may be caused by mechanical impact. By reducing the contact between the connecting member 131 and the cover plate 12 to a minimum, the overall vibration amplitude of the water purifier can be reduced and its durability and stability can be improved.

[0062] At the same time, along the radial direction perpendicular to the central axis of the water box 11, the cross-sectional size of the buffer pad 132 is the cross-sectional size of the connector 131, and the larger size of the buffer pad 132 can provide more buffering and absorption capacity, so that it can better reduce the vibration amplitude. In addition, it can also better cover the hole between the cover plate 12 and the water box 11.

[0063] Moreover, the cross-sectional dimensions of the connector 131 and the cross-sectional dimensions of the buffer pad 132 are adapted, and the adapted cross-sectional dimensions mean that the connector 131 and the buffer pad 132 have a better match, and can evenly absorb and disperse the vibration impact, which can ensure that the force transmission between the connector 131 and the buffer pad 132 is more uniform, effectively alleviate the impact of the vibration, and reduce the impact on the water box 11 and the water purifier as a whole. In addition, the adapted cross-sectional dimensions can ensure close contact between the connector 131 and the buffer pad 132, improve the stability of the entire vibration isolation structure 13, and help maintain a good working condition between the connector 131 and the buffer pad 132, thereby maximizing the vibration isolation effect.

[0064] In this embodiment, the material of the buffer pad 132 is rubber, and the material of the connector 131 is plastic. The material of the buffer pad 132 is rubber because it has good elasticity and energy absorption performance, which can effectively alleviate vibration impact and absorb energy; the material of the connector 131 is plastic because it is light and has a certain elasticity, which can cooperate well with the rubber pad to jointly play the best buffering effect and reduce the impact of the vibration of the water box 11 on the whole machine. In addition, plastic has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and can maintain stable performance during long-term use, so that the connector 131 can effectively resist erosion and wear of the external environment, and extend the service life of the vibration isolation structure 13. In addition, plastic has good insulation properties, which can effectively prevent the conduction of electric current, reduce the possibility of failure of electrical components due to vibration, and improve the safety and stability of the water purifier.

The water purifier adopts the water purifier water box 11 component 100 of the above-mentioned structural form to reduce the impact of vibration on the entire water purifier. This design can effectively isolate external vibration, improve the stability and reliability of the water purifier, and improve the user experience.
