[0002] The water inlet solenoid valve of the water purifier is a component installed on the angle valve under the kitchen. It is the water diversion component of the water system of the water purifier. Its function is to draw water from the household water pipe and supply it to the water purifier. It is usually connected to the water outlet of the angle valve of the household water circuit by a thread, as shown in the "Intelligent Control System for Tap Water, Pure Water and Ice Water" disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent with patent application number CN201520535591.2 (publication number CN204959878U), which includes an angle valve, a water inlet solenoid valve, and a first three-way valve arranged in sequence along the tap water cold water inlet direction, and the water is diverted through the first three-way valve.

[0003] The water inlet solenoid valve of the water purifier has the function of controlling the on-and-off of the water circuit. It is controlled by the main signal of the water purifier and can protect the internal water circuit of the water purifier. When the water purifier is not making water, the water inlet solenoid valve is closed to protect the internal pipeline of the water purifier from the impact of water pressure changes in the municipal water supply network, and can prevent water leakage. The connection reliability of the water inlet solenoid valve and the angle valve is directly related to the guarantee of household water safety. Once the connection structure between the water purifier inlet solenoid valve and the angle valve falls off, the family will have a water soaking accident, so the connection structure between the water inlet solenoid valve and the angle valve is crucial.

When the limiting ring abuts against the first wall of the flange, the clamping ring is squeezed between the limiting wall and the second wall of the flange. The clamping ring plays a role in limiting the backward movement of the nut, and the clamping ring and the limiting ring cooperate to limit the axial movement of the nut.

[0013] In order to facilitate the mounting of the clamping ring on the water inlet pipe, the clamping ring is in an unclosed ring shape, and both end walls of the clamping ring are arc-shaped structures arched toward each other.

[0014] In order to prevent mud and sand from entering the water inlet pipe, a filter screen is installed at the front end of the water inlet pipe, and the filter screen can filter the mud and sand.

[0015] In order to position the filter, the filter is installed on a positioning ring. A convex rib is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the positioning ring. The convex rib can be embedded in the thread groove of the nut to prevent the positioning ring from axially moving relative to the nut. The positioning ring can be a flexible part.

[0028] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the connection structure of the water inlet solenoid valve of the water purifier of this preferred embodiment includes a base 1 of the water inlet solenoid valve, a nut 2, a limiting ring 3, a clamping ring 4 and a filter screen 5.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 includes a water inlet pipe 11, and the nut 2 is used to connect the angle valve and the water inlet pipe 11. The nut is threadedly connected to the angle valve. The rear end of the nut 2 extends from its circumference toward its center line to form a circle of flange 21. A through hole 22 is formed in the central part of the flange 21. The front end of the water inlet pipe 11 passes through the through hole 22 and extends into the interior of the nut 2. The limiting ring 3 is located inside the nut 2 and is sleeved on the water inlet pipe 11.

[0031] A circle of embedding groove 12 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the water inlet pipe 11, and the limiting ring 3 is partially embedded in the embedding groove 12. The embedding groove 12 plays a role in limiting the movement of the limiting ring 3 in the axial direction.

[0032] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , 6 As shown, the limiting ring 3 is in an unclosed ring shape, so that the limiting ring 3 has a certain deformation ability in the radial direction, which is convenient for being mounted on the water inlet pipe 11, and the limiting ring 3 is provided with a groove 31 along the middle of its circumference, and the groove 31 is located on the outer peripheral wall of the limiting ring 3, which further facilitates the deformation of the limiting ring 3 in the radial direction. The rear edge of the inner ring wall of the limiting ring 3 is a first inclined surface 32, and the first inclined surface 32 is inclined from the back to the front toward the center line of the limiting ring 3. In this way, when the limiting ring 3 is installed on the water inlet pipe 11, the first inclined surface 32 can play a guiding role, which is convenient for installation.

[0033] The wall surface of the flange 21 facing the interior of the nut 2 is called a first wall surface, and the wall surface of the flange 21 facing away from the interior of the nut 2 is called a second wall surface. The limiting ring 3 can abut against the first wall surface of the flange 21.

A buckle ring 42 is provided on the peripheral wall of the clamp ring 4 for the user's finger to buckle in.

[0036] A circle of limiting parts 23 are formed on the inner wall of the nut 2 along its circumference. When the limiting ring 3 abuts against the first wall surface of the flange 21, the limiting part 23 abuts against the outer wall of the limiting ring 3. At this time, the limiting part 23 restricts the limiting ring 3 in the radial direction, so that the limiting ring 3 cannot expand in the radial direction and will not fall off the water inlet pipe 11.

[0037] The front edge of the limiting portion 23 is a second inclined surface 24 which is inclined from front to back toward the center line of the nut 2. The second inclined surface 24 guides the nut 2 when it returns to its original position, so as to facilitate its movement.

[0038] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown in FIG. 8 , a filter screen 5 is installed at the front end of the water inlet pipe 11, and the filter screen 5 can filter mud and sand. The filter screen 5 is installed on the positioning ring 6, and a convex rib 61 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the positioning ring 6. The convex rib 61 can be embedded in the thread groove 20 of the nut 2 to prevent the positioning ring 6 from axially moving relative to the nut 2. The positioning ring 6 can be a flexible member.

[0039] When the rib 61 on the positioning ring 6 is embedded in the thread groove 20 of the nut 2, the rear part of the positioning ring 6 is sleeved on the water inlet pipe 11, and the rear wall of the positioning ring 6 abuts against the front wall of the limiting ring 3. In this way, the positioning ring 6 can also play a role in positioning the limiting ring 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, the central hole of the positioning ring 6 is a stepped hole, which is a large hole 62 and a small hole 63 from front to back, the aperture of the large hole 62 is larger than the aperture of the small hole 63, the filter screen 5 includes a mounting ring 51 and a mesh 52, the mounting ring 51 includes an annular body 511 and a limit plate 512 extending radially outward from the front end of the annular body 511, the annular body 511 is inserted in the small hole 63, the limit plate 512 is inserted in the large hole 62, and the mesh 52 is installed in the central part of the large hole 62. The mounting ring 51 can be made of metal to prevent the positioning ring 6 from deformation.
