Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments
[0033] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.
[0034] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0036] Referring to Figures 1-8 , the present utility model discloses a filter element with a handle structure, which includes a filter element body 10, a handle 20, a first locking structure 30, and a second locking structure 40. The first locking structure 30 and the second locking structure 40 are both arranged between the filter element body 10 and the handle 20, and the handle 20 is rotatably connected to the filter element body 10; when the handle 20 rotates relative to the filter element body 10 to the first locking position, the handle 20 is locked to the filter element body 10 through the first locking structure 30; when the handle 20 rotates relative to the filter element body 10 to the second locking position, the handle 20 is locked to the filter element body 10 through the second locking structure 40.
[0037] The present utility model locks the handle 20 by setting the first locking structure 30 and the second locking structure 40. When the handle 20 rotates relative to the filter element body 10 to the first locking position, the handle 20 is locked to the filter element body 10 through the first locking structure 30. When the handle 20 rotates relative to the filter element body 10 to the second locking position, the handle 20 is locked to the filter element body 10 through the second locking structure 40; thus, it is avoided that the handle 20 affects the disassembly and assembly of the filter element with the handle structure.
[0038] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the filter element with the handle structure further includes a connection structure 50. The connection structure 50 includes a rotating shaft 501. One end of the handle 20 is rotatably connected to one side of the filter element body 10 through a rotating shaft 501, and the other end of the handle 20 is rotatably connected to the other side of the filter element body 10 through another rotating shaft 501.
[0039] Specifically, the connection structure 50 further includes a mounting hole 502 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 501. The rotating shaft 501 is arranged on the filter element body 10, and a mounting hole 502 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 501 is arranged at the corresponding position on the handle 20, so as to realize the rotational connection between the handle 20 and the rotating shaft 501.
[0040] Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating shaft 501 is provided on the handle 20, and a mounting hole 502 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 501 is provided at a corresponding position on the filter element body 10, so as to realize the rotational connection between the handle 20 and the rotating shaft 501.
[0041] That is to say, the specific setting positions of the rotating shaft 501 and the mounting hole 502 are such that the handle 20 and the filter element body 10 can be rotationally connected.
[0042] It should be noted that the filter element body 10 is cylindrical. For the convenience of use, the handle 20 is in a "U" shape and is provided at the upper end of the filter element body 10; generally, a mounting structure that cooperates with the water purifier base is provided at the lower end of the filter element body 10, so that the user can lift the filter element body 10 through the handle 20 and place it on the water purifier base to realize the connection with the water purifier base.
[0043] Specifically, in order for the handle 20 to be able to rotate relative to the filter element body 10 between the first locking position and the second locking position, the inner diameter of the handle 20 is greater than the outer diameter of the filter element body 10.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, the handle 20 rotates between the first locking position and the second locking position, and the rotation range of the handle 20 is 0 - 90°; when the handle 20 is horizontally placed, the handle 20 is at 0°, and the handle 20 is in the first locking position; when the handle 20 is vertically placed, the handle 20 is at 90°, and the handle 20 is in the second locking position.
[0045] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first locking structure 30 includes a first locking member and a second locking member. The first locking member is provided on the side of the handle 20 facing the filter element body 10, and the second locking member is provided on the side of the filter element body 10 facing the handle 20.
[0046] That is, the first locking member is provided on the inner side of the handle 20, the second locking member is provided on the outer side of the filter element body 10, and the first locking member and the second locking member are correspondingly arranged.
[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first locking member includes a groove 301 and a first guiding inclined surface 302, and the groove 301 and the first guiding inclined surface 302 are connected to each other. The second locking member includes a protrusion 303; when the first locking member and the second locking member cooperate, the groove 301 is clamped with the protrusion 303 through the first guiding inclined surface 302.
[0048] Specifically, referring to Figures 4-8 , the protrusion 303 is a columnar protrusion, and the end of the protrusion 303 has an arc transition for cooperating with the first guiding inclined surface 302, so as to facilitate the clamping of the groove 301 with the protrusion 303 through the first guiding inclined surface 302.
[0049] More specifically, the first guiding inclined surface 302 is disposed at the inlet and outlet positions of the groove 301.
[0050] Of course, in other embodiments, the first locking member includes a protrusion 303, the second locking member includes a groove 301 and a first guiding inclined surface 302, and the groove 301 is connected to the first guiding inclined surface 302; when the first locking member is engaged with the second locking member, the groove 301 is clamped with the protrusion 303 through the first guiding inclined surface 302.
[0051] That is to say, the specific positions of the groove 301 and the protrusion 303 are such that the handle 20 and the filter element body 10 can be clamped at the first locking position through the engagement of the groove 301 and the protrusion 303; the groove 301 can be disposed on the handle 20, or the groove 301 can be disposed on the filter element body 10; the protrusion 303 can be disposed on the handle 20, or the protrusion 303 can be disposed on the filter element body 10.
[0052] When locking at the first locking position, the user pushes the handle 20 to rotate towards the second locking member of the filter element body 10, and the handle 20 rotates around the connecting structure 50 to the first locking position. The user presses the handle 20, so that the protrusion 303 on the filter element body 10 enters the groove 301 on the handle 20 through the first guiding inclined surface 302, thereby realizing the clamping of the handle 20 and the filter element body 10 at the first locking position.
[0053] When unlocking at the first locking position, the user pulls the handle 20, so that the protrusion 303 on the filter element body 10 disengages from the groove 301 on the handle 20 through the first guiding inclined surface 302, realizing the unlocking of the first locking structure.
[0054] It should be noted that the handle 20 can be a plastic handle or a metal handle, and it is in the shape of a flat strip. Since the handle 20 needs to be pulled when separating the first locking member and the second locking member, the handle 20 needs to be slightly deformed at this time, so that the protrusion 303 disengages from the groove 301 on the handle 20 through the first guiding inclined surface 302.
[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, the second locking structure 40 includes a third locking member and a fourth locking member. The third locking member is disposed on the side of the handle 20 facing the filter element body 10, and the fourth locking member is disposed on the side of the filter element body 10 facing the handle 20.
[0056] That is to say, the third locking member is disposed on the inner side surface of the handle 20, the fourth locking member is disposed on the outer side surface of the filter element body 10, and the third locking member and the fourth locking member are correspondingly disposed.
[0057] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the third locking member includes a first buckle 401, the fourth locking member includes a second buckle 402, and a second guiding inclined surface 403 is provided on the second buckle 402; when the third locking member is engaged with the fourth locking member, the first buckle 401 is snapped with the second buckle 402 through the second guiding inclined surface 403.
[0058] In an embodiment of the present utility model, when the handle 20 is placed horizontally, the first buckle 401 and the second buckle 402 are perpendicularly arranged and separated from each other; when the handle 20 is placed vertically, the first buckle 401 and the second buckle 402 are parallelly arranged and cooperate with each other.
[0059] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the longitudinal section of the second buckle 402 is in an "L" shape, and when the handle 20 is placed horizontally, the transverse section of the first buckle 401 is in an "L" shape; thus, when the handle 20 is placed vertically, the first buckle 401 and the second buckle 402 are hooked and engaged with each other.
[0060] It should be noted that when mounting holes 502 are provided on the handle 20, the mounting holes 502 and the third locking member provided at the same end of the handle 20 are arranged in a staggered manner, and the rotating shafts 501 and the fourth locking member provided on the same side of the filter element body 10 are arranged in a staggered manner to prevent the above components from interfering with each other; and the mounting holes 502 are provided between the third locking member and the first locking member, the second buckle 402 and the rotating shaft 501 are arranged vertically along the axial direction of the filter element body 10, and the second buckle 402 is provided below the rotating shaft 501.
[0061] More specifically, a stop block 404 is further provided on the second buckle 402, and the stop block 404 is provided at the end of the second buckle 402 close to the second locking member. The stop block 404 can prevent the handle 20 from continuing to rotate in the direction away from the second locking member after the third locking member is engaged with the fourth locking member, thereby restricting the rotation angle of the handle 20.
[0062] Of course, in other embodiments, the fourth locking member includes a first buckle 401, the third locking member includes a second buckle 402, and a second guiding inclined surface 403 is provided on the second buckle 402; when the third locking member is engaged with the fourth locking member, the first buckle 401 is snapped with the second buckle 402 through the second guiding inclined surface 403.
[0063] That is to say, the specific positions of the first buckle 401 and the second buckle 402 are such that the handle 20 and the filter element body 10 can be clamped at the second locking position through the clamping of the first buckle 401 and the second buckle 402; the first buckle 401 can be provided on the handle 20, and the first buckle 401 can also be provided on the filter element body 10; the second buckle 402 can be provided on the handle 20, and the second buckle 402 can also be provided on the filter element body 10.
[0064] When locking at the second locking position, the user pushes the handle 20 to rotate towards the fourth locking member of the filter element body 10, and the handle 20 rotates around the connecting structure 50 to the second locking position, so that the first buckle 401 on the handle 20 enters into the second buckle 402 on the filter element body 10 through the second guiding inclined surface 403, thereby realizing the clamping of the handle 20 and the filter element body 10 at the second locking position.
[0065] When unlocking at the second locking position, the user reversely pushes the handle 20 to rotate towards the second locking member of the filter element body 10, so that the first buckle 401 on the handle 20 disengages from the second buckle 402 on the filter element body 10 through the second guiding inclined surface 403, realizing the unlocking of the second locking structure.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a first locking member is provided in the middle of the handle 20, and a third locking member is provided at at least one end of the handle 20.
[0067] Preferably, a first locking member is provided in the middle of the handle 20, and third locking members are provided at both ends of the handle 20, so that both ends of the handle 20 can be clamped with the filter element body 10, making the force on the handle 20 uniform, avoiding deformation of the handle 20 due to uneven force after long-term use, and extending the service life of the handle 20.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present utility model, a pulling portion 60 is provided on the handle 20. When the handle 20 is locked with the filter element body 10 through the first locking structure 30, the pulling portion 60 protrudes above the top of the filter element body 10.
[0069] Specifically, the inner side of the handle 20 is set as the first side 201, the outer side of the handle 20 is set as the second side 202, the side of the handle 20 facing the second locking member is set as the third side 203, the third side 203 is arranged between the first side 201 and the second side 202, the side of the handle 20 away from the second locking member is set as the fourth side 204, and the fourth side 204 is arranged between the first side 201 and the second side 202; the pulling part 60 is arranged on the fourth side 204 of the handle 20 and extends along the length direction of the handle 20, so that the pulling part 60 does not affect the rotation of the handle 20 between the first locking position and the second locking position, and the pulling part 60 does not affect the cooperation and disengagement of the first locking structure 30 and the second locking structure 40 either.
[0070] More specifically, a concave part is arranged on the inner side of the pulling part 60, and the concave part is the force application position for the user to operate.
[0071] Since when the handle 20 is placed horizontally, the handle 20 is flush with the filter element body 10, the user can pull the handle 20 through the pulling part 60, and there is a force application point during the operation of the handle 20, which is beneficial to use.
[0072] The specific use process of the present utility model is as follows:
[0073] When installing the filter element, the handle 20 is locked with the filter element body 10 through the second locking structure 40 at the second locking position, and the user can hold the filter element by hand for operation;
[0074] After the installation of the filter element is completed, the handle 20 can be locked with the filter element body 10 through the first locking structure 30 at the first locking position, so as to prevent the handle 20 from interfering with the assembly of the filter element body 10.
[0075] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the present utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include the technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and retouches can be made, and these improvements and retouches are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
