Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water purification, in particular to a water purifier. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the times, water purifiers have been recognized and purchased by most people. Water purifiers can meet users' higher requirements for water quality. Water purifiers can also be equipped with functions such as heating, cooling and ice making to meet the diversified needs of users.

[0003] The cooling solutions for existing water purifiers on the market mainly include electronic cooling and compressor cooling. Electronic cooling is mainly used for cooling water due to its low efficiency and difficulty in reaching very low temperatures. Compressor cooling has a high efficiency and can be used not only for cooling water but also for making ice, and is widely popular.

[0004] The space inside the water purifier is relatively limited, and the compressor generates heat when it is working. If the internal layout of the water purifier is not properly planned, the heat generated by the compressor will have a negative impact on refrigeration and reduce the efficiency of refrigeration. For water purifiers that also have heating functions, the heat generated by the heating body also needs to be taken into consideration. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art, some embodiments of the utility model provide a water purifier, having a water inlet and a water inlet, the water purifier comprising: a filter element, the water inlet of the filter element is connected to the water inlet; a cold tank, the water inlet of the cold tank is connected to the clean water outlet of the filter element, and the water outlet of the cold tank is connected to the water inlet; a hot water pipe and a heating body for heating the hot water pipe, the water inlet of the hot water pipe is connected to the clean water outlet of the filter element, and the water outlet of the hot water pipe is connected to the water inlet; and a refrigeration assembly, the refrigeration assembly comprises a compressor and an evaporator, the evaporator is connected to the compressor through a refrigerant circulation pipeline, and the evaporator is used to refrigerate the cold tank, wherein: the compressor and the heating body are arranged on a first side inside the water purifier, the cold tank is arranged on a second side inside the water purifier, the first side and the second side are arranged oppositely in a horizontal direction, and the cold tank is spaced apart from the compressor and the heating body. The compressor and the heating body that generate heat during operation are arranged on the same side, and the cold tank is arranged on the other side, and the heat generated by the compressor and the heating body can have less influence on the temperature of the cold tank. The heat generated by the compressor can be used to maintain the heating body at a temperature higher than room temperature, which can reduce the energy consumption of the heating body. By reasonably arranging the compressor, the heating body and the cold tank, their normal operation can be ensured even in a compact space. Therefore, the layout scheme provided in this application is particularly suitable for compact water purifiers.

[0006] For example, the first side and the second side are arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction. The cold tank and the heating body are arranged inside the water purifier in the left-right direction respectively, and the pipes connecting the two to the water inlet do not intersect each other, the pipes are shorter and the layout is simpler. The shorter pipes can also reduce the amount of normal temperature water that flows out first when taking cold water or hot water.

[0007] Exemplarily, the water purifier further includes a water tank connected to the water inlet, and the water tank is detachably mounted from the outside of the water purifier to the first side of the water purifier in the left-right direction. Compared with mounting the water tank on the rear side of the water purifier, mounting the water tank on the left or right side of the water purifier allows the user to mount the water tank on the water purifier by only carrying the water tank and extending it a short distance into the cabinet, which is more labor-saving. Moreover, the water tank is mounted on the water purifier from the left or right side or removed from the water purifier, which is convenient for the user to observe and provide a better user experience.

[0008] For example, the water tank is arranged above the compressor. By arranging the water tank above the compressor, the space in the water purifier can be effectively utilized. Moreover, by arranging the water tank above the compressor, it will not be significantly affected by the heating of the compressor.

[0009] For example, the cold tank is higher than the compressor. In this way, the distance between the two can be increased when the space inside the water purifier is relatively limited, thereby preventing the heat of the compressor from affecting the cold tank. The heat generated by the compressor is mainly concentrated in the lower part of the water purifier and is not easy to affect the upper part. Most of the heat can be blown to the outside of the water purifier by the fan.

[0010] Exemplarily, the refrigeration assembly also includes a condenser arranged on the refrigerant circulation pipeline, the compressor and the condenser are arranged at the bottom of the water purifier, and the compressor is used to transfer the heat of the evaporator to the condenser; an air inlet is arranged on the bottom surface of the water purifier, and an air outlet is arranged at the rear of the water purifier. The water purifier also includes a fan that forms an air-cooled airflow between the air inlet and the air outlet, and the condenser and the compressor are arranged on the path of the air-cooled airflow. The fan can increase the flow rate of the air, so that the heat is taken away faster, and the condensation efficiency of the condenser is improved. The hot air is discharged from the air outlet at the rear of the water purifier, and will not blow on the user to affect the user experience. The heat of the compressor is transferred to the surrounding air, and this part of the hot air can be discharged from the air outlet under the action of the fan.

[0011] For example, the heating body is arranged at the front of the water purifier, a partition is arranged between the heating body and the compressor, and the heating body is mounted on the partition; the air inlet is located behind the partition. The partition can not only be used to fix the heating body, but also prevent the air cooling airflow used to cool the condenser and the compressor from passing through the heating body, thereby reducing the energy loss of the heating body.

[0012] Exemplarily, the water inlet is located at the front of the water purifier and is arranged on the same side of the water purifier as the heating body. The water inlet can be located at the front of the water purifier so that the user can easily get water. The water heated by the heating body can quickly reach the water inlet through a shorter pipeline and be provided to the user, and the heat loss of the hot water in the pipeline is small. The pipeline through which the hot water passes passes through the hotter side of the water purifier and is not likely to affect the temperature of the cold tank on the other side.

[0013] Exemplarily, the water purifier includes a booster pump, a water inlet of the booster pump is connected to the water inlet, a water outlet of the booster pump is connected to the water inlet of the filter element, and the booster pump is arranged below the cold tank. The booster pump has a relatively small heat generation, and arranging it below the cold tank usually does not have a significant impact on the cold water in the cold tank. The booster pump is relatively heavy, and being arranged below the cold tank can lower the center of gravity of the water purifier. In the case where the water tank is arranged on the first side of the water purifier, arranging the booster pump on the second side can balance the weight of the second side to a certain extent, preventing the weight of the first side of the water purifier from being concentrated and tipping over.

[0014] Exemplarily, the water purifier includes an ice-making assembly, which is arranged at the upper part of the cold tank; the ice-making assembly can provide ice cubes for the user, maximize the performance of the compressor, and improve the user experience.

[0015] Exemplarily, the water purifier includes a water tank connected to the water inlet. The water tank can be used to store raw water, and the user can remove the water tank so that it is easier to carry it to a water source such as tap water for filling.

[0029] In the following description, a large number of details are provided so that the present invention can be thoroughly understood. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the following description only illustrates preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention can be implemented without one or more of such details. In addition, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described in detail.

[0030] In order to thoroughly understand the implementation of the utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The preferred implementation of the utility model is described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the utility model can also have other implementations.

[0031] The embodiment of the utility model provides a water purifier. Figure 1-Figure 9 The beverage purifier according to the embodiment of the utility model is introduced in detail.

[0032] As shown in the figure, the water purifier has a water inlet 80 (see Figure 5 ) and water intake 10 (see Figure 2 ).

[0033] The water inlet 80 may include an interface provided on the water purifier for connecting to tap water, and / or an interface for connecting to a water storage container (e.g., a bucket, a kettle), wherein the water storage container may be located outside the water purifier or inside the water purifier. In the illustrated embodiment, the water purifier may be a desktop water purifier. The water purifier also includes a water tank 500. Figure 5 As shown, the water inlet 80 is connected to the water tank 500. The water tank 500 is detachably mounted to the first side 20 of the water purifier from the outside of the water purifier in the left-right direction. The water tank 500 can be used to store raw water, and the user can remove the water tank 500 so that it is easier to carry it to a water source such as tap water for filling.

[0034] The water inlet 10 can be arranged on the front of the water purifier to provide the required water to the user. In other embodiments, the water inlet 10 can also be arranged at any other convenient location for water collection. The water purifier can include a filter element 100, and the water inlet of the filter element 100 is connected to the water inlet 80. The filter element 100 can include filter elements such as activated carbon filter elements, PP filter elements, ceramic filter elements, resin filter elements, ultrafiltration filter elements, nanofiltration filter elements, reverse osmosis filter elements, and composite filter elements composed of one or more of the filter elements. For nanofiltration filter elements and reverse osmosis filter elements, appropriate pressure is required when they are working, so the water purifier can also include a booster pump. The filter element 100 can be a small-flux filter element, that is, the daily water production is not more than 40 gallons. The filter element 100 can filter the raw water to remove harmful bacteria, heavy metals and other impurities therein, and provide users with high-quality purified water. In some embodiments, the filter element 100 of the water purifier may produce a certain proportion of concentrated water, and the concentrated water may be discharged into the water tank 500 through a concentrated water port 90 connected to the water tank 500 .

[0035] The water purifier may include a cold tank 200, such as Figures 6 to 9 As shown. The water inlet of the cold container 200 can be connected to the purified water outlet of the filter element 100, and the water outlet of the cold container 200 can be connected to the water inlet 10. The purified water from the filter element 100 can be temporarily stored in the cold container 200, and provided to the user from the water inlet 10 after being refrigerated. Alternatively, the purified water can be stored in the cold container 200 after being refrigerated, so as to provide a large amount of cold water to the user when needed. In order to prevent the large-scale reproduction of bacteria in the cold container 200, a sterilization device can also be provided in the cold container 200.

[0036] The water purifier may include a hot water pipe and a heating body 300 for heating the hot water pipe, such as Figures 5 and 6 As shown. The water inlet of the hot water pipe can be connected to the clean water outlet of the filter element 100, and the water outlet of the hot water pipe is connected to the water intake 10. Exemplarily, the heating body 300 can be arranged vertically to prevent bubbles generated by the water flow during the heating process from accumulating in the hot water pipe and affecting the heating effect. The heating body 300 can adopt existing or future heating elements such as resistive heating bodies and electromagnetic heating bodies, as long as the water in the hot water pipe can be heated. Thus, the water purifier can provide hot water to the user through the water intake 10. The water intake 10 may include a hot water intake and a cold water intake that are separately arranged to avoid mutual interference between cold water and hot water. The water intake 10 can also be shared by cold water and hot water, and cold water and hot water can be provided to the user from the same water intake 10 in a time-sharing manner.

[0037] The water purifier may include a refrigeration assembly. The refrigeration assembly may include a compressor 410 and an evaporator (not shown). The evaporator is connected to the compressor 410 via a refrigerant circulation pipeline, and the evaporator is used to refrigerate the cold tank 200. The refrigeration assembly may use any suitable refrigerant that is currently available or may appear in the future. The refrigerant is powered by the compressor 410 and can circulate in the refrigerant circulation pipeline. The refrigerant can evaporate and become gaseous at the evaporator, thereby absorbing heat around the evaporator and lowering its temperature. The evaporator can be arranged in the cold tank 200, directly contacting the water in the cold tank 200, so as to perform heat exchange. The evaporator can also be arranged on the path where the clean water enters the cold tank 200, and the clean water flowing into the cold tank 200 is refrigerated. Alternatively, the water in the cold tank 200 can be refrigerated by the evaporator under the action of a water pump or other device, and circulated back to the cold tank 200.

[0038] As described above, the compressor 410 generates heat during operation. Normally, after working for a period of time, the surface temperature of the compressor 410 can reach 70°C. If the compressor 410 contacts the cold tank 200, even if the cold tank 200 uses a heat-insulating material, the temperature of the water therein may still be affected and increase. Therefore, the compressor 410 and the heating body 300 can be arranged on the first side 20 inside the water purifier, and the cold tank 200 is arranged on the second side 30 inside the water purifier. The first side 20 and the second side 30 are arranged relative to each other in the horizontal direction. The cold tank 200 is spaced apart from the compressor 410 and the heating body 300. Because the heating body 300, in addition to heating the hot water in the hot water pipe during operation, some heat will escape to the surroundings. Therefore, the heating body 300 should also be spaced apart from the cold tank 200.

[0039] In the above technical solution, the compressor 410 that generates heat during operation is arranged on the same side as the heating body 300, and the cold tank 200 is arranged on the other side. The heat generated by the compressor 410 and the heating body 300 can have less impact on the temperature of the cold tank 200. Normally, in order to maintain the temperature of the cold water in the cold tank 200, the compressor 410 may be turned on frequently or continuously, so that the heat generated by the compressor 410 can be used to maintain the heating body 300 at a temperature higher than the room temperature, which can reduce the energy consumption of the heating body 300. It can be seen that by reasonably arranging the compressor 410, the heating body 300 and the cold tank 200, their normal operation can be guaranteed even in a compact space. Therefore, the layout scheme provided in the present application is particularly suitable for compact water purifiers.

[0040] Exemplarily, the first side 20 and the second side 30 are arranged relatively in the left-right direction. The water purifier can be placed on a countertop or in a space such as a sideboard for use. For the convenience of user operation, the operation panel and the water inlet 10 are both arranged on the front of the water purifier. If the first side 20 and the second side 30 are arranged in the front-to-back direction, for example, if the second side 30 where the cold tank 200 is located is the rear side, the cold water pipeline from the cold tank 200 to the water inlet 10 may need to cross the heating body 300 and the compressor 410, so the water in the cold water pipeline may be affected by the heating body 300 and the compressor 410 and heat up; or vice versa, if the second side 30 where the cold tank 200 is located is the front side, the hot water pipeline from the heating body 300 to the water inlet 10 may need to cross the cold tank 200, so the water in the hot water pipeline may be affected by the cold tank 200 and cool down. Moreover, it will also cause at least one of the cold tank 200 and the heating body 300 to have a longer pipeline, and a large amount of room temperature water will remain in this pipeline, causing the water purifier to first provide this part of room temperature water to the user when providing cold water or hot water, thereby affecting the user's experience. The cold tank 200 and the heating body 300 are respectively arranged inside the water purifier in the left and right directions, and the pipelines connecting the two to the water intake 10 will not intersect with each other, the pipelines are shorter and the layout is simpler. Shorter pipelines can also reduce the amount of room temperature water that flows out first when taking cold water or hot water.

[0041] like Figure 4As shown, the water purifier can be provided with a cover plate 70, and the top of the water tank 500 can be open to fill water therein or pour out the water therein. The cover plate 70 can cover the opening for installing the filter element 100 and the top opening of the water tank 500 to prevent dust from falling in. The water purifier can filter the raw water in the water tank 500 to obtain clean water, so that it can be used in a position where it is not convenient to connect tap water. In an embodiment where the filter element 100 produces a certain proportion of concentrated water, the concentrated water can also be discharged into the water tank 500 to mix with the raw water or discharged into the area of ​​the water tank 500 that is isolated from the area where the raw water is stored, so that there is no need to connect a drainage pipe. The water tank 500 can be disassembled from the side of the water purifier, and when the water purifier is placed in a space with limited height and width such as a cabinet, it can be convenient for users to disassemble and install. Taking the water purifier set in the cabinet as an example, the user can take out the water tank 500 from the gap between the water purifier and the side of the cabinet without completely lifting the water tank 500 to be higher than the body of the water purifier. The volume of the water tank 500 is larger than that of the cold tank 200. By way of example and not limitation, the water tank 500 may have a volume of 5L, thereby meeting daily water needs without frequent water addition. The water tank 500 filled with water has a large weight. To facilitate the user's carrying, the water tank 500 may also be provided with a handle 510. Compared with installing the water tank 500 to the rear side of the water purifier, installing the water tank 500 on the left or right side of the water purifier means that the user only needs to carry the water tank 500 into the cabinet for a short distance to install the water tank 500 to the water purifier, which is more labor-saving. Moreover, the water tank 500 is installed on the water purifier from the left or right side or removed from the water purifier, which is convenient for the user to observe and provide a better user experience.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, illustratively, the water tank 500 can be arranged above the compressor 410. As described above, when the compressor 410 is working, its surface temperature can reach 70°C. Heat is conducted through the air, and the specific gravity of hot air is small, resulting in a relatively high temperature above the compressor 410. Water has a large specific heat capacity, and the amount of water in the water tank 500 is relatively large, and the temperature will not rise significantly after absorbing a small amount of heat. Moreover, along the left and right directions, the size of the water tank 500 can be designed to be close to the size of the compressor 410, and the water tank 500 is arranged above the compressor 410, which can effectively utilize the space in the water purifier. And the water tank 500 is arranged above the compressor 410, and it will not be significantly affected by the heating of the compressor 410.

[0043] The compressor 410 has a larger weight than other parts of the water purifier. The compressor 410 is arranged at the lower part of the water purifier to stabilize the center of gravity of the water purifier and prevent the water purifier from tipping over. Exemplarily, the cold tank 200 is arranged higher than the compressor 410, so that the cold tank 200 and the compressor 410 are diagonal inside the water purifier. In this way, the distance between the two can be increased in the case of a relatively limited space inside the water purifier, thereby avoiding the heat of the compressor 410 from affecting the cold tank 200. In some embodiments, a baffle may be provided between the lower part of the water purifier provided with the compressor 410 and the upper part provided with the water tank 500 and the cold tank 200, and the heat generated by the compressor 410 is mainly concentrated in the lower part of the water purifier, and is not easy to affect the upper part. And most of the heat below the baffle can be blown to the outside of the water purifier by the fan to be mentioned below.

[0044] For example, in conjunction with reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The refrigeration component may further include a condenser 440 disposed on the refrigerant circulation pipeline. As described above, the refrigerant may evaporate into a gaseous state at the evaporator. The gaseous refrigerant may reach the condenser 440 through the refrigerant circulation pipeline, and condense and release heat at the condenser 440 under the pressure provided by the compressor 410. Thus, the compressor 410 transfers the heat of the evaporator to the condenser 440. Exemplarily, the condenser 440 may include a condenser tube 441 arranged in a spiral or serpentine shape, which may extend the path of the refrigerant and increase the heat dissipation area, thereby allowing the refrigerant to be fully condensed. In some embodiments, the condenser 440 is also provided with fins for increasing the heat dissipation area. An air inlet 40 may be provided on the bottom surface of the water purifier (see Figure 2 and Figure 8 ), the rear of the water purifier is provided with an air outlet 50 (see Figure 3 ). Since the cold air has a higher specific gravity, the air temperature near the bottom of the water purifier is relatively low, which can provide a better cooling effect for the condenser 440. The compressor 410 and the condenser 440 can be arranged at the bottom of the water purifier, thereby shortening the path for the cold air to circulate to the two and improving the cooling effect. Figure 8 As shown, the water purifier may also include a fan 600 (blades not shown) that forms an air-cooled airflow between the air inlet 40 and the air outlet 50, and the condenser 440 and the compressor 410 may be arranged on the path of the air-cooled airflow. The fan 600 can increase the flow rate of the air, so that the heat is taken away faster, and the condensation efficiency of the condenser 440 is improved. The hot air is discharged from the air outlet 50 at the rear of the water purifier, and will not blow on the user to affect the user experience. Preferably, a gap is provided between the compressor 410 and the housing of the water purifier, and these gaps form part of the air-cooled path. The heat of the compressor 410 is transferred to the surrounding air, and this part of the hot air can be discharged from the air outlet 50 under the action of the fan 600.

[0045] For example, the water inlet 10 can be located on the front of the water purifier, so that the user can easily get water. For example, the water inlet 10 can be set on the same side of the water purifier as the heating body 300. In this way, the water heated by the heating body 300 can quickly reach the water inlet 10 through a shorter pipeline and be provided to the user, and the heat loss of the hot water in the pipeline is small. The pipeline through which the hot water passes passes through the hotter side of the water purifier, and it is not easy to affect the temperature of the cold tank 200 on the other side.

[0046] For example, the heating body 300 can also be arranged at the front of the water purifier. This can further shorten the length of the pipeline between the heating body 300 and the water inlet 10. When the user takes water, hot water can flow out of the water inlet 10 immediately with less delay. After the user changes the temperature, there will be almost no water accumulation in the pipeline, and hot water of the required temperature can be provided immediately. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 As shown, a partition 60 may be provided between the heating body 300 and the compressor 410, and the heating body 300 is mounted on the partition 60. The air inlet 40 may be located behind the partition 60. In this way, the partition 60 can not only be used to fix the heating body 300, but also prevent the air-cooling airflow used to cool the condenser 440 and the compressor 410 from passing through the heating body 300, thereby reducing the energy loss of the heating body 300.

[0047] For example, Fig. 9 As shown, the water purifier may further include a booster pump 700, the water inlet of the booster pump 700 is connected to the water inlet 80, the water outlet of the booster pump 700 is connected to the water inlet of the filter element 100, and the booster pump 700 may be arranged below the cold tank 200. In an embodiment where the water inlet 80 is connected to the water tank 500, the water inlet of the booster pump 700 is connected to the water tank 500. As described above, when the filter element 100 includes at least one of a nanofiltration filter element and a reverse osmosis filter element, a booster pump 700 is generally required to provide the filter element with the pressure required for work. The booster pump 700 has a relatively small calorific value, and being arranged below the cold tank 200, generally does not have a significant effect on the cold water in the cold tank 200. The booster pump 700 is relatively heavy, and being arranged below the cold tank 200, the center of gravity of the water purifier may be reduced. When the water tank 500 is disposed on the first side 20 of the water purifier, disposing the booster pump 700 on the second side 30 can balance the weight of the second side 30 to a certain extent, thereby preventing the water purifier from tipping over due to the concentrated weight on the first side 20 .

[0048] For example, Fig. 9As shown, the drink purifier may also include an ice-making assembly 800, which may be arranged at the upper part of the cold tank 200. As shown, the ice-making assembly 800 may include an ice-making head 810, which is connected to the compressor 410 via a refrigerant circulation line. In some exemplary embodiments, the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation line may be switched between the ice-making head 810 and the aforementioned evaporator for cooling the water in the cold tank 200 by a switching valve, so that the drink purifier may switch between an ice-making mode and a cooling water mode. In other exemplary embodiments, the compressor 410 may be a variable frequency compressor, and the drink purifier may switch between an ice-making mode and a cooling water mode by controlling the power of the compressor 410. In an embodiment not shown, the ice-making head may be the same component as the evaporator, and may be switched between an ice-making mode and a cooling water mode only by controlling the power of the evaporator. The ice-making assembly 800 may provide ice cubes for the user, maximize the performance of the compressor 410, and improve the user experience.
