DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0034] The present invention proposes a pipeline skeleton 10, a filter element assembly 100 and a drinking water device for a filter element assembly 100, wherein the pipeline skeleton 10 can be arranged in the filter element assembly 100 to distribute the water flow in the filter element assembly 100 so that the water flow can be filtered through the first filter material 40; and the pipeline skeleton 10 in the embodiment of the present invention can improve the flow efficiency of the water flow by arranging the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 in the axial direction, thereby improving the working efficiency of the filter element assembly 100.
[0035] in, Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The dotted arrows in the figure show the flow direction of water in the pipeline skeleton 10 and the filter element assembly 100, but the flow direction of the water only represents some embodiments of the utility model and cannot represent the entirety of the utility model.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 5 According to the pipeline skeleton 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the pipeline skeleton 10 includes a main body 11, the main body 11 is provided with a first flow channel 111 and a second flow channel 112, one end of the main body 11 is provided with a first joint 12 connected to the first flow channel 111 and a second joint 13 connected to the second flow channel 112, in the projection along the axial direction of the main body 11, the outer peripheral surface of the first joint 12 is arranged on the inner side of the outer peripheral surface of the second joint 13; such a configuration can improve the flow efficiency of the water flow, thereby improving the working efficiency of the filter element assembly 100.
[0037] Specifically, the filter element assembly 100 includes an inlet and outlet water joint 30, the inlet and outlet water joint 30 includes a first cylinder and a second cylinder, the first cylinder is arranged on the radial inner side of the second cylinder, the first cylinder has a first opening, and the second cylinder has a second opening between the first cylinder and the first cylinder, the first joint 12 has a first interface 121, the first interface 121 is connected to the first flow channel 111, the second joint 13 has a second interface 131, the second interface 131 is connected to the second flow channel 112, and the pipeline skeleton 10 can be connected to the inlet and outlet water joint 30 is connected, thereby connecting the first flow channel 111 with the first opening, and connecting the second flow channel with the second opening. In this way, the water flow can flow through the second opening and the second interface 131 in sequence and then flow into the pipeline skeleton 10. After flowing out of the pipeline skeleton 10, it flows out of the filter element assembly 100 through the first interface 121 and the first opening, and the water flow in the filter element assembly 100 is distributed through the pipeline skeleton 10. Of course, the water flow can also flow into the pipeline skeleton 10 from the first opening and flow out of the pipeline skeleton 10 from the second opening, and the utility model does not limit this.
[0038] More specifically, in the projection along the axial direction of the main body 11, the outer peripheral surface of the first joint 12 is arranged on the inner side of the outer peripheral surface of the second joint 13, so that there is a predetermined distance between the outer peripheral surface of the first joint 12 and the outer peripheral surface of the second joint 13, and the predetermined distance can provide a flow gap for the water flow in the filter element assembly 100, facilitate the passage of water, and improve the flow efficiency of the water flow; it can be understood that the first joint 12 is connected to the first cylinder, and the second joint 13 is connected to the second cylinder, and there is a predetermined distance between the outer peripheral surface of the first joint 12 and the outer peripheral surface of the second joint 13, and the predetermined distance can be the width dimension of the flow channel between the second opening and the second interface 131 (the width dimension here refers to the vertical dimension in the extension direction of the flow channel), which facilitates the passage of water and reduces the flow resistance of the water flow.
[0039] Therefore, according to the pipeline skeleton 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the flow efficiency of the water flow is improved by setting the outer peripheral surface of the first joint 12 inside the outer peripheral surface of the second joint 13, thereby improving the working efficiency of the filter element assembly 100.
[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments of the utility model, the main body 11, the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 are integrally formed, so that the structural strength of the pipeline skeleton 10 can be improved; it can be understood that in the filter element assembly 100, the pipeline skeleton 10 is connected to the inlet and outlet water joints 30, and is suitable for allowing water to flow through the first flow channel 111 and the second flow channel 112 in the pipeline skeleton 10, thereby realizing the water flow coordination of the pipeline skeleton 10, causing the pipeline skeleton 10 to be under greater pressure. Therefore, the main body 11, the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 can be integrated, which can facilitate the assembly of the pipeline skeleton 10 in the filter element assembly 100, and improve the structural strength of the pipeline skeleton 10, thereby improving the working stability of the filter element assembly 100.
[0041] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, in the projection along the axial direction of the main body 11, the outer peripheral surface of the first joint 12 and the outer peripheral surface of the second joint 13 have a minimum spacing D, and the minimum spacing D is not less than 6 mm and not more than 18 mm; such a setting can improve the flow efficiency of the water flow in the filter element assembly 100, thereby improving the working efficiency of the filter element assembly 100.
[0042] In detail, according to the above, the outer peripheral surface of the first joint 12 and the outer peripheral surface of the second joint 13 can define the width dimension of the flow channel between the second opening and the second interface 131, and the width dimension can be the minimum distance D between the outer peripheral surface of the first joint 12 and the outer peripheral surface of the second joint 13; thus, in order to reduce the flow resistance of the water flow and improve the flow efficiency of the water flow, the minimum distance D can be no less than 6 mm.
[0043] In addition, the filter element assembly 100 also includes a first filter material 40, which is arranged around the axis of the main body 11 of the pipeline skeleton 10 and is located on the outside of the pipeline skeleton 10. If the minimum spacing D is greater than 18 mm, the pipeline skeleton 10 will occupy the space inside the filter element assembly 100, resulting in a reduction in the arrangement space of the first filter material 40, affecting the filtering performance of the filter element assembly 100. Therefore, the minimum spacing D can be no less than 18 mm.
[0044] Among them, the minimum spacing D can be 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, and 18mm.
[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 are arranged at intervals in the direction from one end to the other end of the main body 11; such an arrangement can facilitate the integral molding of the pipeline skeleton 10 and improve the efficiency of processing and manufacturing.
[0046] Specifically, the pipeline skeleton 10 can be integrally formed through an injection molding process; during this process, the first mold and the second mold are closed along the radial direction of the main body 11, and the pipeline skeleton 10 is formed by injecting molding into the cavity between the first mold and the second mold; if the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 are not arranged at intervals in the axial direction, since the outer peripheral surface of the first joint 12 is arranged on the inner side of the second joint 13, the first joint 12 cannot be formed during injection molding. Therefore, the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 can be arranged along the axial direction of the main body 11 to facilitate the formation of the first joint 12 and the second joint 13.
[0047] In addition, in order to consider the sealing performance of the first flow channel 111 and the second flow channel 112 in the pipeline skeleton 10, it is necessary to arrange the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 at intervals in the direction from one end to the other end of the main body 11, with one end of the main body 11 close to the inlet and outlet water joints 30, and the other end away from the inlet and outlet water joints 30. In this way, the first joint 12 with a smaller radial dimension can be sealed connected to the inlet and outlet water joints 30, and then the second joint 13 with a larger radial dimension can be sealed connected to the inlet and outlet water joints 30, thereby improving the sealing performance of the pipeline skeleton 10.
[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments of the utility model, a second interface 131 of the second flow channel 112 is provided between the first joint 12 and the second joint 13; specifically, in combination with the foregoing, the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 are arranged at a spacing in the axial direction of the main body 11. In other words, there is a predetermined spacing between the first joint 12 and the second joint 13, and the predetermined spacing can provide a flow gap for the water flow, and the second interface 131 of the second flow channel 112 is opened between the first joint 12 and the second joint 13. The predetermined spacing can facilitate the water flow to enter the second interface 131, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the water flow.
[0049] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, along the axial direction of the main body 11, the second interface 131 of the second flow channel 112 has a size H, and the size H is not less than 2.5 mm; such a setting can improve the flow efficiency of the water flow in the filter element assembly 100, thereby improving the working efficiency of the filter element assembly 100.
[0050] In detail, in the filter element assembly 100, water needs to enter the second flow channel 112 or be discharged from the second flow channel 112 through the second interface 131. In order to reduce the flow resistance of the water flow and improve the flow efficiency of the water flow, the size H of the second interface 131 can be not less than 2.5 mm, so that the water flow can pass through the second interface 131. The size H can be 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.5 mm, or 8 mm.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the projection along the predetermined plane, the projection area S of the second interface 131 of the second flow channel 112 is not less than 15 mm 2 ; The predetermined plane is an arc surface around the axis of the main body 11; such a setting can improve the flow efficiency of the water flow in the filter element assembly 100, thereby improving the working efficiency of the filter element assembly 100.
[0052] In detail, in the filter element assembly 100, the water needs to enter the second flow channel 112 or be discharged from the second flow channel 112 through the second interface 131. In order to reduce the flow resistance of the water flow and improve the flow efficiency of the water flow, the projection area S of the second interface 131 can be not less than 15mm 2 , which facilitates water flow through the second interface 131. The projected area S can be 15mm 2 , 20mm 2 , 25mm 2 , 30mm 2 .
[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments of the utility model, the first flow channel 111 and the second flow channel 112 are arranged side by side, and the second joint 13 is arranged around the first flow channel 111 and the second flow channel 112, and the first joint 12 is arranged around the first flow channel 111; such an arrangement can facilitate the one-piece molding of the pipeline skeleton 10, thereby improving the structural strength of the pipeline skeleton 10.
[0054] Specifically, the pipeline skeleton 10 can be integrally formed through an injection molding process; during this process, the first mold and the second mold are closed along the radial direction of the main body 11, and two insert pins for flow channel molding are set in the cavity between the first mold and the second mold. The two insert pins are arranged side by side, and injection molding is performed into the cavity between the first mold and the second mold to form the pipeline skeleton 10 and the first flow channel 111 and the second flow channel 112 in the pipeline skeleton 10; in other words, the first flow channel 111 and the second flow channel 112 arranged side by side can be formed through an injection molding process, which is convenient for the processing and manufacturing of the pipeline skeleton 10, and improves the structural strength of the pipeline skeleton 10, thereby improving the working stability of the filter element assembly 100.
[0055] In addition, the first flow channel 111 has one end close to the inlet and outlet water joint 30, and the other end away from the inlet and outlet water joint 30, and the second flow channel 112 has one end close to the inlet and outlet water joint 30, and the other end away from the inlet and outlet water joint 30; in some specific examples, one end of the first flow channel 111 extends out of one end of the second flow channel 112, and a first joint 12 is arranged around one end of the first flow channel 111, and a second joint 13 is arranged around the outermost side formed by the first flow channel 111 and the second flow channel 112 being arranged side by side, so that the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 are both located on the outside of the pipeline skeleton 10, which is convenient for forming the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 through an injection molding process; and when connected, the first joint 12 can be sealed and connected to the inner side of the first cylinder, and the second joint 13 can be sealed and connected to the inner side of the second cylinder, so that the first flow channel 111 is connected to the first opening, and the second flow channel 112 is connected to the second opening, so as to realize quick disassembly and assembly.
[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the axis of the first joint 12 coincides with the axis of the second joint 13 , which can form a fool-proof design and facilitate the assembly of the pipeline skeleton 10 in the filter element assembly 100 .
[0057] Specifically, according to the above, the first joint 12 is arranged around the first flow channel 111, and the second joint 13 is arranged around the outermost side formed by the first flow channel 111 and the second flow channel 112, and the first joint 12 can be connected to the first cylinder body, and the second joint 13 can be connected to the second cylinder body. In order to facilitate the connection of the pipeline skeleton 10 to the inlet and outlet water joints 30, the axes of the first cylinder body and the second cylinder body can be arranged to coincide with each other, and the axes of the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 can be arranged to coincide with each other. In this way, the first joint 12 and the second joint 13 can be respectively connected to the first cylinder body and the second cylinder body when they are rotated at any angle along the circumference of the main body 11, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the filter element assembly 100.

[0068] Furthermore, the first annular groove 122 includes a plurality of seals 60 arranged axially along the main body 11, and the second annular groove 132 includes a plurality of seals 60 arranged axially along the main body 11, so as to facilitate setting a plurality of seals 60 on the first joint 12 and the second joint 13, thereby further improving the sealing performance between the first joint 12 and the first cylinder, and the sealing performance between the second joint 13 and the second cylinder.
[0069] In addition, in some specific examples, the filter element assembly 100 also includes a second filter material 50, the housing 20 also has a second filter cavity 22, the second filter material 50 and the pipeline skeleton 10 are arranged in the second filter cavity 22, and are arranged around the outside of the pipeline skeleton 10, there is a third sub-cavity 221 between the second filter material 50 and the pipeline skeleton 10, there is a fourth sub-cavity 222 between the second filter material 50 and the housing 20, the inlet and outlet water joint 30 has a third opening and a fourth opening, the third opening is connected to the third sub-cavity 221, and the fourth opening is connected to the fourth sub-cavity 222, the water flow can enter the filter element assembly 100 from the fourth opening, and flow through the fourth sub-cavity 222, and then enter the third sub-cavity 221 from the fourth sub-cavity 222 through the second filter material 50, and finally discharged from the third opening, so as to realize the secondary filtration of the water flow. Of course, the water flow direction can also be opposite to the above, that is, the water flow enters the filter element assembly 100 through the third opening and is discharged from the filter element assembly 100 through the fourth opening, and the utility model does not limit this.
