[0033] The water purifier 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 According to the water purifier 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the water purifier 100 includes: a housing 10, a pipeline component 20, a control valve 30 and a detection component 40.

[0035] A water tank 11 is provided at the bottom of the housing 10. A pipe member 20 is provided in the housing 10, and the pipe member 20 is used for water circulation. A control valve 30 is connected to the pipe member 20, and is used to control the on and off of the water path in the pipe member 20. A detection member 40 is provided in the water tank 11, and is used to detect the water level in the water tank 11, so that the control valve 30 disconnects the water path in the pipe member 20 when the water level reaches a set value.

[0036] The pipe member 20 is disposed in the housing 10. The pipe member 20 is a hollow structure. Water flows in the pipe member 20. The pipe member 20 can be connected to the filter assembly 50. The pipe member 20 supplies water to the filter assembly 50. The filter assembly 50 filters the water to realize the function of the water purifier 100. The pipe member 20 can also be used to discharge the purified water after filtering. The purified water filtered by the filter assembly 50 is discharged to the outside of the water purifier 100 through the pipe member 20. Among them, the control valve 30 is connected to the pipe member 20, and the on-off of the water path in the pipe member 20 is controlled by the control valve 30. For example, the control valve 30 is a solenoid valve, which automatically controls the on-off of the water path.

[0037] In the related art, the water system of the water purifier is complicated and has a high risk of water leakage, and the leaked water may cause property loss to the user.

[0038] For example, if a water purifier leaks, the leaked water soaks the floor and the floor needs to be replaced.

[0039] It can be understood that the pipeline member 20 is in communication with the control valve 30 , and the risk of water leakage at the connection portion between the pipeline member 20 and the control valve 30 is relatively high.

[0040] In the utility model, a water tank 11 is arranged at the bottom of the shell 10, and a detection component 40 is arranged in the water tank 11. When a leakage occurs, the leaked water automatically flows to the water tank 11 under the influence of its own gravity. The detection component 40 detects the water level. When there is a lot of water, the water level reaches a set value, and the control valve 30 disconnects the water path in the pipe component 20 to prevent the water from continuing to leak, thereby reducing the probability of loss to the user.

[0041] When the water level reaches a set value, the detection component 40 causes the control valve 30 to disconnect the water path in the pipeline component 20. The set value is a manually set value, and the set value is a pre-set parameter.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 Specifically, the water purifier 100 further includes a control component 80 , which is electrically connected to the control valve 30 and the detection component 40 , respectively. The control component 80 controls the operation of the control valve 30 according to an electrical signal sent from the detection component 40 .

[0043] The detection element may be a sensor, such as a water leakage sensor, or a water level sensor, or a float switch.

[0044] According to the water purifier 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, a water tank 11 is provided, and a detection component 40 is provided in the water tank 11. When a leak occurs in the water purifier 100, water automatically flows into the water tank 11. When the water level reaches a set value, the detection component 40 sends an electrical signal to the control valve 30. The control valve 30 disconnects the water path in the pipe component 20, and water will no longer leak, thereby reducing the probability of loss to the user.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, there are multiple control valves 30, the pipe member 20 is constructed as a plate-like structure, the pipe member 20 and the shell 10 jointly define a first isolation space 21, the first isolation space 21 is arranged above the water tank 11, and at least part of the multiple control valves 30 are arranged in the first isolation space 21.

[0046] The pipe member 20 is constructed as a plate-like structure, one side of the plate-like structure faces the shell 10 , and the space between the pipe member 20 of the plate-like structure and the inner wall of the shell 10 is the first isolation space 21 .

[0047] In the above solution, the first isolation space 21 is provided to accommodate part of the control valve 30. When leakage occurs, water flows in the first isolation space 21, thereby preventing water from interfering with the operation of other components.

[0048] Specifically, the rear wall surface of the pipeline member 20 and the housing 10 together define a first isolation space 21 , and the partial control valve 30 is installed on the rear wall surface of the pipeline member 20 .

[0049] More specifically, the housing 10 includes a rear plate, a rear wall surface of the pipe member 20 and the rear plate together define a first isolation space 21 , and the partial control valve 30 is mounted on the rear wall surface of the pipe member 20 .

[0050] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 The control member 80 is arranged on a side of the pipe member 20 away from the first isolation space 21. The first isolation space 21 constrains water to prevent water from contacting the control member 80, thereby reducing the probability of short circuit.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, the pipeline member 20 is configured as a waterway plate, and a waterway is provided inside the waterway plate.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 In some embodiments, the water purifier 100 further includes: a filter assembly 50 and a shielding member 60 .

[0053] The filter assembly 50 is disposed in the housing 10 and is located on a side of the pipe member 20 away from the first isolation space 21 . The filter assembly 50 is located above the water tank 11 . The shielding member 60 is disposed above the detection member 40 .

[0054] Among them, the filter component 50 is connected to the pipe component 20, and the filter component 50 plays a filtering role. For example, the filter component 50 includes a filter element, and the filter element filters water. Due to temperature problems, condensed water may be generated in the space around the filter component 50, and the condensed water drips downward. The shielding component 60 is arranged above the detection component 40, and the shielding component 60 plays a shielding role.

[0055] In the above solution, the shielding member 60 is disposed above the detection member 40 to receive the condensed water, thereby preventing the condensed water from contacting the detection member 40 , thereby reducing the probability of the detection member 40 being triggered by mistake.

[0056] Specifically, the shielding member 60 is disposed above the detection member 40 , and the filter assembly 50 is disposed above the shielding member 60 . Condensed water generated around the filter assembly 50 drips downward onto the shielding member 60 .

[0057] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, the water purifier 100 further includes a first support member 71 , which is disposed in the housing 10 , and the pipe member 20 , the filter assembly 50 and the shielding member 60 are disposed on the first support member 71 .

[0058] The pipe member 20 , the filter assembly 50 and the shielding member 60 are fixed on the first support member 71 , and the first support member 71 plays a supporting role, supporting the pipe member 20 , the filter assembly 50 and the shielding member 60 .

[0059] In the above solution, by providing the first support member 71 to support the pipe member 20, the filter assembly 50 and the shielding member 60, the overall structure is simple and the reliability is high.

[0060] Specifically, the shielding member 60 is disposed below the first supporting member 71 , and the shielding member 60 is integrally formed with the first supporting member 71 , thereby reducing the number of components.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, an installation space is provided on the first support member 71 , and the filter assembly 50 is installed in the installation space. The installation space is connected to the pipeline member 20 , and the pipeline member 20 supplies water to the installation space, thereby entering the filter assembly 50 .

[0062] More specifically, there are a plurality of installation spaces and a plurality of filter components, and the filter components are arranged corresponding to the installation spaces.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 In some embodiments, the water purifier 100 further includes a second support member 72, which is disposed on a side of the first support member 71 facing the pipe member 20, and the second support member 72 and the shell 10 jointly define a second isolation space 721, and the second isolation space 721 is disposed below the first isolation space 21 and connected to the first isolation space 21, and the remaining parts of the plurality of control valves 30 are disposed in the second isolation space 721; wherein the second support member 72 is provided with a guide surface 722, and the guide surface 722 extends obliquely toward a direction close to the water tank 11.

[0064] One side of the second support member 72 faces the housing 10, and the space between the second support member 72 and the inner wall of the housing 10 is a second isolation space 721. The guide surface 722 on the second support member 72 extends obliquely toward the direction close to the water tank 11, and the guide surface 722 plays a guiding effect to prevent water from flowing around.

[0065] In the above scheme, by setting up the second isolation space 721 to accommodate the remaining parts of the multiple control valves 30, when leakage occurs, water flows in the second isolation space 721 to prevent water from interfering with the work of other components. At the same time, the guide surface 722 is set to guide the flow of water to prevent water from flowing around, constrain the water, and reduce the probability of other components being interfered with.

[0066] Specifically, the second support member 72 is disposed behind the first support member 71 , and at least a portion of the second support member 72 is located below the pipe member 20 . The guide surface 722 extends obliquely downward, and water flows downward along the guide surface 722 to guide the flow of water.

[0067] Specifically, the housing 10 includes a rear plate, and the space between the second support member 72 and the rear plate is the second isolation space 721 .

[0068] In some embodiments, the filter assembly 50 includes a replaceable filter element, and the first support member 71 is provided with a filter element inlet and outlet for installing or removing the replaceable filter element. An isolation rib 111 is provided in the water tank 11, and the isolation rib 111 is provided between the projection of the filter element inlet and outlet on the bottom surface of the shell 10 and the detection member 40.

[0069] The replaceable filter element enters and exits the first support member 71 through the filter element inlet and outlet, and the replaceable filter element is installed or removed, which is convenient for replacing the replaceable filter element. It should be noted that when the replaceable filter element is removed and replaced, water may flow out from the filter element inlet and outlet.

[0070] Reference Figure 5 In the above scheme, by setting an isolation rib 111 in the water tank 11, the isolation rib 111 is located between the projection of the filter element inlet and outlet on the bottom surface of the shell 10 and the detection element 40. The water flowing out of the filter element inlet and outlet is isolated by the isolation rib 111, and the water flowing out of the filter element inlet and outlet will not contact the detection element 40, thereby avoiding false triggering.

[0071] Specifically, the filter element inlet and outlet are arranged on the front wall surface of the first support member 71, the projection of the filter element inlet and outlet on the bottom surface of the shell 10 is located at the front end of the bottom surface of the shell 10, the detection member 40 is located in the middle position of the bottom surface of the shell 10, and the isolation rib 111 is located in the middle position of the above two to play an isolation role.

[0072] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib 112 is further provided in the water tank 11 , and the two ends of the reinforcing rib 112 are respectively connected to the opposite inner walls of the water tank 11 . The reinforcing rib 112 is provided on the side of the detection member 40 away from the isolation rib 111 , and an avoidance opening 1121 is provided on the reinforcing rib 112 .

[0073] The reinforcing rib 112 is disposed in the water tank 11 , and two ends of the reinforcing rib 112 are respectively connected to opposite inner walls of the water tank 11 . The reinforcing rib 112 plays a reinforcing effect, increases strength, and prevents the shell 10 from being deformed.

[0074] The reinforcing rib 112 is provided with an escape opening 1121 , and the escape opening 1121 is used to escape water, so that the leaked water can contact the detection element 40 .

[0075] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, the shell 10 includes a bottom plate 12 , and the bottom plate 12 is provided with a raised rib 121 . The raised rib 121 extends upward. The raised rib 121 extends along the circumferential direction of the bottom plate 12 and encloses the water outlet trough 11 .

[0076] The bottom plate 12 is located at the bottom of the water purifier 100 , and the raised ribs 121 are arranged on the upper wall surface of the bottom plate 12 . The raised ribs 121 restrict water so that the water gathers in the water tank 11 .

[0077] In the above solution, the water outlet trough 11 is enclosed by providing the raised ribs 121, which extend upwards and enhance the strength of the bottom plate 12. The structure is simple and practical.

[0078] Specifically, the isolation ribs 111 and the reinforcement ribs 112 are disposed on the bottom plate 12 , and the isolation ribs 111 and the reinforcement ribs 112 are located at the front and rear sides of the detection member 40 .

[0079] In some embodiments, a filter is provided upstream of the control valve 30 .

[0080] The filter screen is arranged upstream of the control valve 30 , and water first passes through the filter screen and then enters the control valve 30 , and the filter screen plays a filtering effect to filter out impurities.

[0081] In some embodiments, the water purifier 100 further includes: a power supply and an electronic circuit breaker, the power supply is used to supply electrical energy, and the electronic circuit breaker electrically connects the power supply and the detection component 40 respectively to disconnect the power supply of the power supply when the water level reaches a set value.

[0082] Among them, the power supply is used to supply electric energy so that the water purifier 100 can work. The power supply can be a power supply cable, which is plugged into a socket to supply electric energy. The power supply can also be a battery installed inside the water purifier 100, and the battery supplies electric energy to other components.

[0083] In the above scheme, the supply of electric energy is controlled by setting an electronic circuit breaker. When a water leakage problem occurs, the power supply is disconnected, which reduces the probability of electric shock and further improves safety.
