Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In common tabletop water purifiers, reverse osmosis filter elements are used to filter raw water. The reverse osmosis membrane is the core component of the reverse osmosis filter element. Concentrated water is obtained on the high-pressure side and pure water is obtained on the low-pressure side. However, when the reverse osmosis membrane stops producing water, there is no pressure difference on both sides of the reverse osmosis membrane, and the concentrated water will penetrate into the pure water over time, increasing the ion concentration of the pure water. Eventually, the ion concentrations on the water inlet side and the wastewater side will both reach equilibrium with the ion concentration on the pure water side. When producing water again, the high-concentration pure water will enter the pure water tank, increasing the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) value in the pure water tank.

[0003] In some tabletop machines, raw water is introduced to flush the reverse osmosis membrane filter element. In this way, the cleaning of the concentrated water concentration is not thorough enough, and due to the small size, many functions and limited internal space of the tabletop machine, it is difficult to set up a flushing circuit and the cost is high.

[0020] A second valve core, slidably disposed within the second valve body, so that the second valve core can move between a first position blocking the one-way water inlet and a second position opening the one-way water inlet;

[0046] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a water purification device, which includes a filtration component 20, a raw water pump 40, and a pure water tank. The raw water pump 40, the filtration component 20, and the pure water tank are connected in sequence. When the water purification device is working, under the action of the raw water pump 40, the raw water is filtered by the filtration component 20 to obtain pure water, and the pure water enters the pure water tank for storage so as to be supplied to users for use. Among them, the filtration component 20 can filter impurities in the water and reduce the ion concentration in the water to obtain pure water.

[0047] In this embodiment, the water purification device is a water dispenser with heating function, which can provide water purification and drinking functions for users. In other embodiments, the water purification device can also be a water purifier or other devices with water purification functions.

[0048] Optionally, the filtration component 20 includes a reverse osmosis filter element, which can effectively remove dissolved salts, colloids, microorganisms, organic matters, etc. in the water to improve the water quality, and has the advantages of low energy consumption and no pollution.

[0049] In this embodiment, the filtration assembly 20 includes two filter elements, namely a first filter element 21 and a second filter element 22. Among them, the first filter element 21 is a PPC filter element, and the second filter element 22 is a RO filter element, that is, a reverse osmosis filter element. Through the cooperation of the first filter element 21 and the second filter element 22, the purification effect of the water quality can be improved to meet the user's usage requirements.

[0050] Along the water inlet direction, the first filter element 21 is located upstream of the second filter element 22, that is, the raw water first passes through the first filter element 21 for filtration and then through the second filter element 22 for filtration, so as to prevent larger particulate impurities in the water from clogging or damaging the reverse osmosis filter element.

[0051] In other embodiments, the filtration assembly 20 may only include one reverse osmosis membrane filter element, or may be provided with three, four or more filter elements. As long as one of the multiple filter elements is a reverse osmosis filter element, the arrangement order of the reverse osmosis filter element among the multiple filter elements can be adjusted as needed.

[0052] It should be noted here that both the PPC filter element and the RO filter element are common filter elements in the prior art, and their structures and filtration principles are all prior art, which will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0053] To prevent the ion concentrations on the water inlet side, concentrated water side and pure water side of the reverse osmosis filter element from reaching equilibrium during the standby process of the water purification device, thereby affecting the ion concentration in the pure water during the next water production, the water purification device in this embodiment further includes a flushing circuit, and the flushing circuit can flush the filtration assembly 20 to solve the problem of high ion concentration in the pure water during the first water production.

[0054] Specifically, one end of the flushing circuit is connected to the pure water tank, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the filtration assembly 20. That is to say, the pure water in the pure water tank is used to flush the filtration assembly 20, and a part of the pure water passing through the filtration assembly 20 returns to the pure water tank during the flushing process. Repeating the previous cycle can reduce the ion concentration of the pure water in the pure water tank to meet the user's usage requirements.

[0055] Due to the small size of the water purifier, especially the desktop water purifier, the installation space of the flushing circuit in the water purifier is limited, resulting in problems such as difficult installation and increased cost.

[0056] To solve the above problems, this embodiment provides an improved pure water tank, which is structurally compact, reduces the occupied space and saves costs on the basis of realizing the flushing function.

[0057] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the pure water tank includes a box body 11, a one-way valve 12, and a control valve 13. The box body 11 is used to store water. The box body 11 is provided with a pure water inlet, a pure water outlet, and a return water port. Among them, the pure water inlet is used to connect to the outlet of the filtration component 20 so that the pure water obtained through the filtration component 20 can enter the box body 11 for storage; the pure water outlet is used to provide pure water for the convenience of users; the return water port is used to realize the return of pure water to achieve the function of flushing the filtration component 20. The one-way valve 12 is arranged in the return water port. The one-way valve 12 is used to restrict the fluid outside the box body 11 from entering the box body 11. That is to say, the pure water in the box body 11 can flow out of the box body 11 through the one-way valve 12 and the return water port. The control valve 13 is arranged on the outer wall of the box body 11. The control valve 13 includes a first water inlet, a second water inlet, and a valve outlet. The first water inlet is used to connect to a water source to provide raw water for the water purification device; the second water inlet is connected to the one-way valve 12, and the valve outlet is used to connect to the inlet of the filtration component 20. The valve outlet can selectively communicate with the first water inlet or the second water inlet.

[0058] In this embodiment, the return water port is connected to the inlet of the filtration component 20 through the one-way valve 12 and the control valve 13 in sequence to realize the flushing of the filtration component 20. The one-way valve 12 is arranged in the return water port and integrated inside the box body 11, without the need to additionally occupy the space outside the box body 11. The control valve 13 is arranged on the box body 11 and directly connected to the one-way valve 12, with a compact structure, which is beneficial to reducing the occupied space; both the control valve 13 and the one-way valve 12 can be first assembled with the box body 11 and then assembled into the whole machine, with low assembly difficulty and little influence from the overall size of the water purification device.

[0059] The one-way valve 12 is directly connected to the box body 11, without the need to additionally set up a pipeline connecting the one-way valve 12 and the box body 11, reducing the pipeline layout cost; the control valve 13 is arranged on the box body 11 and directly connected to the box body 11, without the need to add a pipeline to connect the control valve 13 and the one-way valve 12, reducing the pipeline layout cost, which is thus beneficial to controlling the overall cost of the machine.

[0060] In addition, the control valve 13 includes two inlets (the first water inlet and the second water inlet respectively) and one outlet (the valve water outlet), and has two working states. In one working state, the first water inlet is communicated with the valve water outlet. That is to say, the raw water provided by the water source can enter the control valve 13 through the first water inlet, and then enter the filtration assembly 20 through the valve water outlet to meet the water production requirement. In the other working state, the second water inlet is communicated with the valve water outlet. In this state, raw water cannot be provided to the filtration assembly 20, while the pure water in the box body 11 can enter the control valve 13 through the second water inlet, and then enter the filtration assembly 20 through the valve water outlet to meet the requirement of flushing the filtration assembly 20. By means of a control valve 13, the switching between the two working states of water production and flushing can be realized, which is beneficial to reducing the number of parts in the water purification equipment, so as to simplify the structure and reduce the cost.

[0061] Since the water for flushing the filtration assembly 20 is high-purity pure water, after a period of flushing, all the water in the filtration assembly 20 is replaced by pure water, thus fundamentally solving the bottleneck of high initial water concentration.

[0062] In this embodiment, the control valve 13 can be a solenoid valve to realize the automatic switching of the valve path, so as to automatically start the flushing of the filtration assembly 20 or normal water production. Optionally, the control valve 13 can be a two-in-one-out valve.

[0063] In this embodiment, a groove is formed by the inner concave of the outer wall of the box body 11, and through holes are arranged on the bottom surface of the groove. The through holes and the groove cooperate to form a water return port. This kind of setting makes the water return port have a certain depth, provides an installation space for the one-way valve 12, facilitates the connection between the control valve 13 and the one-way valve 12, and makes the structure more compact.

[0064] Specifically, the control valve 13 includes a first valve body 131 and a first valve core movably arranged in the first valve body 131. A hollow insertion rod 132 is arranged on the first valve body 131. One end of the insertion rod 132 is communicated with the inside of the first valve body 131, and the other end forms the second water inlet. The insertion rod 132 passes through the water return port and is communicated with the one-way valve 12. In this embodiment, part of the control valve 13 is located in the water return port. On the one hand, it can make the structure more compact and better reduce the occupied space. On the other hand, it is convenient to be communicated with the one-way valve 12, and can provide a positioning and fixing effect on the one-way valve 12.

[0065] As Figure 3 shown, the one-way valve 12 is arranged in the groove and can be limited between the insertion rod 132 and the bottom surface of the groove under the cooperation of the insertion rod 132, so as to realize the positioning and fixing of the one-way valve 12 and improve the accuracy and stability of the position of the one-way valve 12.

[0066] To improve the sealing effect of the box body 11 at the water return port, a sealing member 15 is arranged in the water return port. The sealing member 15 is sleeved outside the insertion rod 132 to seal the gap between the water return port and the insertion rod 132, thereby preventing the box body 11 from leaking water.

[0067] Exemplarily, the sealing member 15 includes a sleeve 151 and an annular flange 152. The sleeve 151 is sleeved on the insertion rod 132 and is located in the water return port. The sleeve 151 can be clamped by the inner wall of the water return port and the outer wall of the insertion rod 132 to block the annular gap between the inner wall of the water return port and the outer wall of the insertion rod 132; the annular flange 152 is connected to one axial end of the sleeve 151 and is arranged circumferentially around the sleeve 151. The annular flange 152 is clamped between the first valve body 131 and the box body 11 and can block the gap between the water return port and the valve body. Through the cooperation of the sleeve 151 and the annular flange 152, the sealing effect at the water return port can be improved, and water leakage at the water return port can be avoided.

[0068] Optionally, the sealing member 15 abuts against the check valve 12 along the axial direction of the check valve 12 to press the check valve 12 tightly against the bottom surface of the groove, so as to further improve the fixing effect on the check valve 12.

[0069] Optionally, a protrusion is arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve 151, and the protrusion can abut against the inner wall of the water return port to further improve the sealing effect.

[0070] Exemplarily, the protrusion can be an annular protrusion arranged circumferentially around the sleeve 151 to achieve circumferential contact with the inner wall of the water return port, and the sealing effect is good; the number of the annular protrusions can be set to at least two, and at least two annular protrusions can be arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the sleeve 151.

[0071] In this embodiment, a raw water rod 133 and a water outlet rod 134 which are both hollow are further arranged on the first valve body 131. One end of the raw water rod 133 is communicated with the inside of the first valve body 131, and the other end forms a first water inlet. One end of the water outlet rod 134 is communicated with the inside of the first valve body 131, and the other end forms a valve water outlet. By arranging the hollow raw water rod 133 and water outlet rod 134, it is convenient to connect the control valve 13 with the water source and the filtration assembly 20.

[0072] Optionally, both the raw water rod 133 and the water outlet rod 134 are perpendicular to the insertion rod 132, so that the settings of the first inlet, the second inlet and the valve water outlet are relatively dispersed, which is convenient for connecting with the water source and the filtration assembly 20 and is beneficial to the rational utilization of the internal space of the water purification device.

[0073] Exemplarily, the water return port is arranged on the side wall of the box body 11. The insertion rod 132 extends in a substantially horizontal direction. The raw water rod 133 and the water outlet rod 134 both extend in a substantially vertical direction and are respectively located on opposite sides of the first valve body 131. With this arrangement, the insertion rod 132, the raw water rod 133, and the water outlet rod 134 are respectively located on three sides of the first valve body 131, and the space between any two of them is relatively large, leaving enough space for installation, connection and other operations, reducing the operation difficulty. The raw water rod 133 and the water outlet rod 134 both extend in a substantially vertical direction, occupying the height direction of the water tank for installation or connection, which is beneficial to reducing the floor area of the pure water tank in the horizontal direction, making the structure more compact.

[0074] The control valve 13 further includes an electromagnetic assembly. The electromagnetic assembly is arranged on the first valve body 131. The electromagnetic assembly is used to drive the valve core to move in the first valve body 131 to realize the switching of the valve path. It should be noted here that the switching of the valve path in the solenoid valve is a prior art in this field. The control valve 13 in this embodiment can adopt any structure and principle in the prior art, as long as it can selectively connect the first water inlet and the second water inlet to the valve water outlet.

[0075] In this embodiment, the water return port is located on the bottom side of the box body 11 to reduce the height of the water return port and ensure sufficient pure water volume when flushing the filter assembly 20.

[0076] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the pure water tank further includes a mounting bracket 16. The mounting bracket 16 is connected to the box body 11, and the control valve 13 is arranged on the mounting bracket 16. Optionally, the mounting bracket 16 and the box body 11 are fixedly connected by screws. Exemplarily, fixing columns are convexly provided on the outer wall of the box body 11, and the screws are threadedly connected to the fixing columns after passing through the mounting bracket 16 to realize the fixation of the mounting bracket 16 and the box body 11.

[0077] Optionally, the mounting bracket 16 is provided with a limiting groove, and at least part of the control valve 13 is arranged in the limiting groove to position the position of the control valve 13, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the fixed position of the control valve 13.

[0078] Optionally, the control valve 13 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 16 by screws, or the control valve 13 is clamped in the limiting groove to realize fixation.

[0079] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the one-way valve 12 includes a second valve body 121, a second valve core 122, and an elastic member 123. One end of the second valve body 121 facing the inner side of the box body 11 is provided with a one-way water inlet 1201, and the opposite end of the second valve body 121 is provided with a one-way water outlet; the second valve core 122 is slidably arranged in the second valve body 121 so that the second valve core 122 can move between a first position blocking the one-way water inlet 1201 and a second position opening the one-way water inlet 1201; the elastic member 123 is elastically connected to the second valve body 121 and the second valve core 122, and the elastic force exerted by the elastic member 123 on the second valve core 122 points from the second position to the first position. When the second water inlet is communicated with the valve water outlet, the raw water pump 40 is started. The raw water pump 40 will generate an adsorption force in the one-way valve 12, and the second valve core 122 will overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 123 under the action of the adsorption force to open the one-way water inlet 1201, so that the pure water in the box body 11 enters the one-way valve 12 through the one-way water inlet 1201 and then flows to the filter assembly 20 through the control valve 13 to achieve the purpose of flushing the filter assembly 20.
