Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a disassembly and assembly mechanism, and more particularly to a disassembly and assembly mechanism and a water softener using the disassembly and assembly mechanism. Background Art

[0002] At present, the mainstream products of domestic household water softeners are integrated structures, that is, the resin tank is placed in the salt box, the control valve is assembled on the resin tank, and then covered with a shell. This type of water softener salt box is loaded with regenerated salt, and all the parts of the whole machine are loaded during transportation. The structure is compact and easy to move. When installing this type of water softener, it is generally necessary to remove the top shell, and then connect the inlet and outlet pipes and the drain pipe; the structure of the traditional machine is that the top shell is covered on the step of the main body and locked with a buckle. During the disassembly and assembly process, you need to extend your hand downward from the side of the top shell cover, and then unlock the buckle. After the buckle is unlocked, you need to lift the shell cover upward to achieve the disassembly of the shell cover, and the installation process is the above method in reverse. Therefore, this structure of the water softener needs to reserve installation and disassembly space on the top and around, and the installation and disassembly method is relatively rough, especially for users with limited home space. It is inconvenient to install and maintain it in a small space such as a cabinet. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a disassembly and assembly mechanism and a water softener using the disassembly and assembly mechanism, wherein the upper shell adopts a horizontal assembly and disassembly method and a spring-loaded structure, which can effectively reduce the height requirement of the installation space and alleviate the labor intensity of assembly and disassembly.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a disassembly and assembly mechanism, used for disassembly and assembly of two components, characterized in that it includes:

[0005] A plug hook mounted on the first component to be connected;

[0006] A slot is provided on the second component to be connected, the plug hook and the slot slide relative to each other in the horizontal direction, and when the plug hook slides into the slot, the relative sliding of the first component and the second component in the vertical direction is restricted; a blocking member is installed on the first component or the second component to be connected;

[0007] The movable member is installed on the first member or the second member to be connected, and when the plug hook is slidably inserted into the slot, the blocking member and the movable member abut against each other to limit relative sliding in the horizontal direction.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the hook includes a first hook and a second hook, and the slot includes a first slot and a second slot, the first hook is installed on the end side of the first component, and the second hook is installed on the side of the first component, the first slot is installed on the end side of the second component, and the second slot is installed on the side of the second component, and when the hook is slidably inserted into the slot, the first hook is inserted into the first slot, and the second hook is inserted into the second slot.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the movable part is a spring sheet, one side of which is fixed on the second component and the other side is tilted. The blocking member forms a blocking edge on the first component. When the hook slides into the slot, the blocking edge first squeezes the spring sheet to bend and deform toward the second component. Then, after the hook is inserted into the slot, the blocking edge is separated from the spring sheet, the spring sheet is reset and tilted, and the side edge is against the blocking edge.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, a resist is fixed on the side of the spring sheet, and the resist is a wedge-shaped structure. The side of the resist is fixed to the side of the spring sheet, and the other side opposite to it is inclined. One end of the side extends to the side of the spring sheet, and the other end is away from the side of the spring sheet to form an angle to constitute a side structure that resists the blocking edge.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, a reinforcing rib is connected between the blocking member and the first component.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the movable part is a telescopic rod structure, which is installed on the first component, and the blocking member is a slope structure, which is tilted from the second component to form a blocking side for blocking. During the process of the hook sliding into the slot, the end of the telescopic rod structure abuts against the blocking member and is squeezed and contracted by the blocking member. After the hook is inserted into the slot and is in place, the blocking member is separated from the end of the telescopic rod structure, the end of the telescopic rod structure extends out and the side of the telescopic rod structure abuts against the blocking side.

[0013] As a further improvement of the utility model, the telescopic rod includes a sliding base, a sliding rod and a paddle. The sliding base is fixed on the first component. The sliding rod is slidably arranged in the sliding base and is connected to the sliding base through a spring. An operating hole is opened on the side of the sliding base away from the first component. The paddle is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding rod, and the end thereof extends to the outside through the operating hole.

[0014] As a further improvement of the utility model, a spring groove is provided at one end of the sliding rod, a spring is accommodated in the spring groove, one end of the spring abuts against the bottom of the spring groove, and the other end abuts against the sliding base.

[0015] The utility model further provides a water softener, comprising an upper shell and a waist piece, wherein the upper shell and the waist piece are connected via the above-mentioned disassembly and assembly mechanism, the upper shell serves as a first component, and the waist piece serves as a second component.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the combination of the plug hook and the slot can effectively realize the sliding connection method to limit the sliding in the vertical direction, and then through the action of the blocking member and the movable member, the sliding in the horizontal direction is further limited. In this way, the disassembly and assembly of the first component and the second component are realized by the cooperation of the plug hook and the slot. In this way, compared with other conventional water softeners, the height of the installation space requirement can be effectively reduced. For cabinets or similar installation environments, the installation and daily maintenance of the water softener are more convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a disassembly and assembly mechanism, which is mainly used for a water softener and specifically includes:

[0029] A plug hook 21, mounted on the first component to be connected;

[0030] The slot 31 is provided on the second component to be connected, and the hook 21 and the slot 31 slide relative to each other in the horizontal direction. When the hook 21 slides and is inserted into the slot 31, the relative sliding of the first component and the second component in the vertical direction is restricted;

[0031] A blocking member 23, mounted on the first component or the second component to be connected;

[0032] The movable member 33 is installed on the first component or the second component to be connected, and when the hook 21 is slidably inserted into the slot 31, the blocking member 23 and the movable member 33 abut against each other to limit the relative sliding in the horizontal direction. It can be seen that in the process of using the disassembly and assembly mechanism of this embodiment to disassemble and assemble components, it is only necessary to drive the movable member 33 by hand to separate the movable member 33 and the blocking member 23 from each other, so that the restriction on the relative sliding in the horizontal direction of the first component, i.e., the upper shell 2 and the second component, i.e., the waist component 3, is released. Then, by driving the first component and the second component to slide relative to each other in the horizontal direction, the hook 21 and the slot 31 are separated from each other, and the restriction on the relative sliding in the vertical direction can be released, thereby separating the first component from the second component. Compared with the buckle unlocking method used in the prior art, the overall process is more convenient and reliable, and the height requirement of the installation space can be effectively reduced. For cabinets or similar installation environments, the installation and daily maintenance of the water softener are more convenient.

[0033] As an improved specific implementation, the hook 21 includes a first hook 211 and a second hook 212, and the slot 31 includes a first slot 311 and a second slot 312. The first hook 211 is installed on the end side of the first component, and the second hook 212 is installed on the side of the first component. The first slot 311 is installed on the end side of the second component, and the second slot 312 is installed on the side of the second component. When the hook 21 is slidably inserted into the slot 31, the first hook 211 is inserted into the first slot 311, and the second hook 212 is inserted into the second slot 312. Through the setting of the above structure, when the hook 21 is inserted into the slot 311, the connection between the end sides and the sides of the first component and the second component can be achieved, effectively increasing the firmness between the first component and the second component.

[0034] This embodiment provides two implementations of the blocking member 23 and the movable member 33, which are specifically as follows:

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Reference Figure 5As shown, the movable member 33 is a spring sheet, one side of which is fixed to the second component, and the other side is tilted. The blocking member 23 forms a blocking edge on the first component. When the hook 21 slides and is inserted into the slot 31, the blocking edge first squeezes the spring sheet to bend and deform toward the second component. Then, after the hook 21 is inserted into the slot 31 and is in place, the blocking edge is separated from the spring sheet, and the spring sheet is reset and tilted, and the side is against the blocking edge. By adopting the above embodiment, the elastic force of the deformation of the spring sheet itself can be used to achieve the effect of automatic blocking and locking in the process of installing the first component and the second component, by driving the spring sheet to deform and then reset through the blocking edge. In this way, after the first component and the second component slide horizontally until the hook 21 is inserted into the slot 31 and is in place, the first component and the second component can be automatically locked. After the whole is installed, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, and when disassembly is required, Figure 7 As shown, the spring sheet can be bent downward by hand.

[0037] Correspondingly, a retaining piece 331 is fixed on the side of the spring sheet, and the retaining piece 331 is a wedge-shaped piece structure. The side of the retaining piece 331 is fixed to the side of the spring sheet, and the other side opposite to it is inclined. One end of the side extends to the side of the spring sheet, and the other end is away from the side of the spring sheet to form an angle to constitute a side structure that resists the blocking edge. Through the setting of the above-mentioned retaining piece 331, a side structure with a higher height can be formed, so that it can better cooperate with the blocking edge to achieve the restriction of horizontal movement, thereby ensuring the firmness of the connection between the first component and the second component.

[0038] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is connected between the blocking member 23 and the first component, so that the structural strength of the blocking member 23 can be ensured, thereby preventing the blocking member 23 from being easily broken during the disassembly and assembly process.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Reference Figure 8As shown, the movable part 33 is a telescopic rod structure, which is installed on the first component, and the blocking member 23 is a slope structure, which is tilted from the second component to form a blocking side for blocking. During the process of the hook 21 slidingly inserted into the slot 31, the end of the telescopic rod structure abuts against the blocking member 23 and is squeezed and contracted by the blocking member 23. Thereafter, after the hook 21 is inserted into the slot 31 and is in place, the blocking member 23 is separated from the end of the telescopic rod structure, the end of the telescopic rod structure extends out and the side of the telescopic rod structure abuts against the blocking side. By adopting the above embodiment, the telescopic effect of the telescopic rod can be used to achieve the effect of automatic blocking and locking in the process of installing the first component and the second component, by driving the telescopic rod to retract and then reset through the slope structure of the blocking member 23. In this way, after the first component and the second component slide horizontally until the hook 21 is inserted into the slot 31 and is in place, the first component and the second component can be automatically locked. After the whole is installed, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, and when disassembly is required, Fig.10 As shown, the telescopic rod can be retracted by hand.

[0041] Reference Fig. 9 As shown, the following telescopic rod structure is adopted in this embodiment, including a sliding base 332, a sliding rod 333 and a paddle 334, the sliding base 332 is fixed on the first component, the sliding rod 333 is slidably arranged in the sliding base 332, and is connected to the sliding base 332 through a spring, an operating hole 3321 is opened on the side of the sliding base 332 away from the first component, the paddle 334 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding rod 333, and the end thereof extends to the outside through the operating hole 3321, and the sliding rod 333 is adopted to slide in the sliding base 332, so that it can be simply and effectively The telescopic function of the telescopic rod is effectively realized, and the setting of the paddle 334 can further facilitate manual operation of the sliding rod 333. A spring groove 3331 is provided at one end of the sliding rod 333, and the spring is accommodated in the spring groove. One end of the spring is against the bottom of the spring groove 3331, and the other end is against the sliding base 332. This can effectively limit the activities of the spring in directions other than the horizontal direction, and ensure that the spring can only be used for the sliding reset of the sliding rod 333, thereby further ensuring that the sliding rod 333 can slide out of the sliding base 332 and against the blocking member 23.

[0042] To sum up, the disassembly and assembly mechanism of the present embodiment and the water softener using the disassembly and assembly mechanism adopt a method of setting hooks 21, slots 31, blocking members 23 and movable members 33 on the upper shell 2 and the waist member 3, which can effectively realize the disassembly and assembly between the upper cover 2 and the waist member 3 by horizontal sliding. Compared with other conventional water softeners, this can effectively reduce the height requirement of the installation space, and for cabinets or similar installation environments, the installation and daily maintenance of the water softener are more convenient.
