[0024] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "installed", "connected", "joined", "fixed", etc. shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled 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.

[0026] See Figure 1 , the present utility model provides a water purification machine water circuit system for both human and pet use, including a pet water tank 6, a membrane filter element 2, a water inlet pipe 1, a drinking water pipe 3, a make-up water pipe 4, and a wastewater pipe 5. The membrane filter element 2 has a water inlet 21, a pure water outlet 22, and a wastewater outlet 23. The water inlet pipe 1 is communicated with the water inlet 21, the drinking water pipe 3 is communicated with the pure water outlet 22, the wastewater pipe 5 is communicated with the wastewater outlet 23, one end of the make-up water pipe 4 is communicated with a branch port of the drinking water pipe 3, and the other end is communicated with the water inlet end of the pet water tank 6. The drinking water pipe 3 is used for supplying water to humans, and the pet water tank 6 is used for pets to drink. After the raw water is filtered by the membrane filter element 2, the pure water flows into the drinking water pipe 3 for human use, and then a part of the pure water in the drinking water pipe 3 is guided to the pet water tank 6 through the make-up water pipe 4 for pets to drink, so as to solve the human drinking water problem and the pet drinking water problem at the same time and realize the dual use of human and pet.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the pet water tank 6 is designed with an open mouth, and pets can directly drink water in the pet water tank 6 without the assistance of the pet owner. Whether the pet owner is at home or not, pets will not have the situation of not being able to drink water.

[0028] Further, the water replenishing pipeline 4 includes a water replenishing pipe 41 and a water replenishing switch 42. One end of the water replenishing pipe 41 is communicated with the branch port of the drinking water pipeline 3, and the other end is communicated with the water inlet end of the pet water tank 6. The water replenishing switch 42 is arranged on the water replenishing pipe 41. The water replenishing switch 42 can control the opening and closing of the water replenishing pipeline 4. The water replenishing switch 42 is a normally closed switch. When the pet water tank 6 needs to be replenished with water, the water replenishing switch 42 will be opened to replenish water to the pet water tank 6.

[0029] Further, a first liquid level gauge 61 is arranged on the pet water tank 6. The first liquid level gauge 61 is used to detect the water level in the pet water tank 6 to control the water replenishing switch 42. When the first liquid level gauge 61 detects that the liquid level of the water in the pet water tank 6 is lower than a preset value, the water replenishing switch 42 is started to replenish water to the pet water tank 6. Specifically, when the water level of the pet water tank 6 is lower than the preset value, the first liquid level gauge 61 sends a feedback signal to the central control module of the water purifier, and the central control module sends an opening instruction to the water replenishing switch 42, so that the water in the drinking water pipeline 3 can be replenished to the pet water tank 6. After the water replenishing switch 42 is opened and works for a preset duration each time, it will automatically stop to prevent the water in the pet water tank 6 from overflowing due to being too full. In a specific embodiment, the water replenishing switch 42 is a water replenishing solenoid valve.

[0030] Further, the drinking water pipeline 3 includes a pure water tank 31, a first pipeline 32 and a pure water pipeline. Both ends of the first pipeline 32 are respectively connected with the water inlet end of the pure water tank 31 and the pure water outlet 22. The pure water pipeline is communicated with the water outlet end of the pure water tank 31. A first branch port 321 is arranged on the first pipeline 32, and the water replenishing pipe 41 is connected with the first branch port 321. The pure water tank 31 is used to store the pure water prepared by the membrane filter element 2. It can not only flow back to the first pipeline 32 and then flow into the water replenishing pipeline to replenish pure water to the pet water tank 6, but also flow into the pure water pipeline and finally flow out from the water outlet of the water purifier for human use.

[0031] Further, the pure water pipeline includes a second pipeline 33 and an instant heating element 35. One end of the second pipeline 33 is connected with the water outlet end of the pure water tank 31, and the other end is connected with the water outlet nozzle of the water purifier. The instant heating element 35 is arranged on the second pipeline 33. A TDS sensor, that is, a water quality detection sensor, is also arranged on the second pipeline 33, which is used to detect the content of total dissolved solids of the pure water in the second pipeline 33, so as to facilitate the user to monitor the working condition of the water purifier and be able to replace the filter element or repair in time when the water quality does not meet the standard.

[0032] Further, the pure water pipeline further includes a water pump 34, which is arranged on the second pipeline 33 and is located before the instant heating element 35. The instant heating element 35 can heat the water in the second pipeline 33, so that hot water flows out of the water outlet of the water purifier, meeting the customer's demand for hot water. Two NTC temperature sensors are arranged on the second pipeline 33, respectively before and after the instant heating element 35, which can better control the water outlet temperature of the water purifier.

[0033] Further, a second liquid level gauge 311 and a third liquid level gauge 312 are arranged on the pure water tank 31. The third liquid level gauge 312 is higher than the second liquid level gauge 311. The second liquid level gauge 311 is used to detect whether the pure water tank 31 is at the lowest water level, and the third liquid level gauge 312 is used to detect whether the pure water tank 31 is full of water. It should be understood that the membrane filter element 2 is normally closed. When the liquid level of the water in the pure water tank 31 is lower than the preset lowest water level, the second liquid level gauge 311 sends a feedback signal to the central control module of the water purifier, and the central control module then sends a start command to the membrane filter element 2, so that the membrane filter element 2 starts to prepare pure water, thereby replenishing pure water for the pure water tank 31. When the pure water tank 31 is full of water, the third liquid level gauge 312 sends a feedback signal to the central control module of the water purifier, and the central control module then sends a shutdown command to the membrane filter element 2, so that the membrane filter element 2 stops preparing pure water.

[0034] Further, the water purifier water circuit system further includes a raw water tank 7. The wastewater pipeline 5 includes a wastewater pipe 51 and a concentrated water solenoid valve 52. The concentrated water solenoid valve 52 is arranged on the wastewater pipe 51. The two ends of the wastewater pipe 51 are respectively connected to the water inlet end of the raw water tank 7 and the wastewater outlet 23. The concentrated water generated after the membrane filter element 2 filters flows back to the raw water tank 7 through the wastewater pipeline 5 for repeated use, avoiding the user having to frequently add water to the raw water tank 7.

[0035] Specifically, a liquid level switch is arranged on the raw water tank 7. Through the liquid level switch, the user can intuitively observe whether the water level in the raw water tank 7 is lower than or equal to the lowest water level. When the water level in the raw water tank 7 is lower than or equal to the lowest water level, the water in the raw water tank 7 needs to be drained and replaced with new tap water.

[0036] Further, the water inlet pipeline 1 includes a water inlet pipe 11 and a booster pump 12. The booster pump 12 is arranged on the water inlet pipe 11. The two ends of the water inlet pipe 11 are respectively connected to the water outlet end of the raw water tank 7 and the water inlet 21. The booster pump 12 can boost the pressure of the water in the water inlet pipe 11, which is beneficial to improving the filtration speed of the membrane filter element 2.

[0037] See Figure 2, the present utility model also provides a water purifier, which includes the water purifier water circuit system for both human and pet use as described above. A water outlet nozzle is provided on the water purifier, and the water outlet nozzle is connected to the water outlet end of the second pipeline 33.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model.
