Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, and particularly relates to an integrally openable front door and a water purification device. Background Art

[0002] A water purification device is a water treatment device that deeply filters and purifies water quality to prepare or supply warm water, hot water or cold water. Among them, built-in water purification devices are increasingly favored by consumers because they can be completely embedded in cabinets or walls and form a coordinated whole with the integrated kitchen.

[0003] For products such as water purification devices, a friendly user experience is the key to improving their market competitiveness. How to make the functional area design of the device more reasonable and avoid potential hazards in device use caused by accidental touch is a very important issue.

[0004] After retrieval, the patent authorization announcement number CN 216236163U discloses a front door opening and closing mechanism for a household water purifier filter element. An opening and closing device is arranged on the front of the water purifier body. Through the cooperation of a rotating device, a buckle and a clamping block, the buckle fixes the clamping block through the rotation of a rotating block, and the opening and closing door is opened through the rotation of the rotating device, so as to facilitate the replacement of the filter element.

[0005] The patent authorization announcement number CN 208287599U discloses a water purifier that is convenient for replacing a filter cartridge. The application case includes a housing and a housing door rotatably connected to one side of the housing through a hinge. A second magnet block is embedded on the other side of the housing, and a first magnet block is embedded on the surface of the housing door. The housing can be opened through the housing door to replace the filter element.

[0006] The patent authorization announcement number CN 219050526U also discloses a water dispenser with a filter device that is convenient for replacement. A cabinet door is arranged on the front of the fuselage, and a drinking area is arranged at one end of the front of the fuselage. The user can pull open the door panel by himself through a hidden handle, so as to replace the filter element body in the filter chamber without removing the panel.

[0007] The above application cases all design an openable cabinet door from the perspective of facilitating the replacement of the filter element. However, almost all the cabinet doors in the above application cases are smooth plate structures, which only play the functions of closing the internal chamber when closed and facilitating the replacement of the filter element when opened. For built-in water purification devices, since only the front end faces the customer, the most convenient ways such as water nozzles, liquid collection boxes, filter element replacement ports, control buttons, etc. are uniformly integrated at the front end of the built-in water purification device. This poses a challenge to the design of the front door. How to ensure the rationality of the design of each functional area while ensuring the convenience of filter element replacement and avoiding potential hazards in device use caused by accidental touch are all urgent problems to be solved.

[0056] Embodiment 1

[0057] An overall opening and closing front door in this embodiment includes a door body 1. A water receiving chamber 18 for placing a water receiving container is formed by the middle part of the door body 1 recessing backward. A water receiving table 16 is provided on the lower side wall of the water receiving chamber 18. The water receiving table 16 is used to place the water receiving container so that the water receiving container can receive the water discharged from the water nozzle 5 of the water purifier.

[0058] Specifically, in combination with Figure 1 - Figure 3 , the door body 1 includes a front plate 11 and a back plate 15. The front plate 11 and the back plate 15 can be set as an integrally formed structure. In this embodiment, the front plate 11 and the back plate 15 are detachably connected. In combination with Figure 5 , a plurality of screw holes 158 and reinforcing ribs 159 are provided on the outer periphery of the back plate 15. The reinforcing ribs 159 are mainly used to enhance the overall strength of the door body 1. The front plate 11 and the back plate 15 are mainly assembled into one body by nuts passing through the screw holes 158.

[0059] The front panel 11 described above can be square, circular or other shapes. In this embodiment, the most classic square structure is selected, and a rectangular window 111 is opened on the inner side of the front panel 11 to form a rectangular viewing window that can be observed from the outside to the inside. The back panel 15 is recessed backward in the area corresponding to the window 111 to form a water receiving chamber 18; two symmetrically concave portions 151 are provided on the back panel 15. An opening extending from top to bottom is formed between the two concave portions 151. The opening is integrally in a U-shaped structure and is located in the middle position of the front door. The front panel 11 and the back panel 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides with the opening as the axis. Because the two concave portions 151 in this embodiment are deeply recessed structures towards the inside of the body 10, a wide and deep water receiving area will be formed at the bottom of the water purification device, facilitating the stable placement of containers of different volumes on the water receiving platform 16. The upper end of the opening is the water nozzle inlet 1511. When the front door is closed on the body 10 of the water dispenser, the water outlet of the water nozzle 5 can enter the water receiving chamber 18 through the water nozzle inlet 1511 and face the water receiving platform 16.

[0060] The lower end of the opening is the water collecting channel 1512 that connects the upper surface and the bottom of the water receiving platform 16. The water collecting channel 1512 is configured such that when the front door is closed on the body 10 of the water dispenser, the water on the upper surface of the water receiving platform 16 can flow into the liquid collecting box 8 provided on the body 10 through the water collecting channel 1512. The water collecting channel 1512 and the bottom plates of the two concave portions 151 together form a trapezoidal area that is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. This trapezoidal area is mainly used to install and fix the water receiving platform 16 to form a water receiving area.

[0061] Furthermore, one side wall of the water receiving platform 16 abuts against the front panel 11, and the other three side walls are attached to the side walls of the concave portion 151. The upper surface of the water receiving platform 16 is flush with the lower edge of the rectangular window 111 of the front panel 11. Therefore, the water receiving platform 16 is basically hidden behind the front panel 11.

[0062] The connection method between the door body 1 and the front side of the body 10 can be magnetic connection, snap connection or rotational connection; among them, the rotational connection can be shaft connection or hinge connection. Specifically in this embodiment, a hinge 12 is provided on one side of the door body 1, and the door body 1 is connected to the front side of the body 10 through the hinge 12. Two hinges 12 are arranged at intervals up and down. The door body 1 can be opened from the other side of the body 10 and rotate around the hinge 12 to open and close relative to the body 10.

[0063] It should be understood that the hinge 12 can theoretically be arranged at the upper end, lower end, left end and right end of the door body 1. Starting from the most suitable user's usage habit, in this embodiment, the hinge 12 is arranged at the left end of the door body 1, that is, the user opens the door body 1 from the right side. In this embodiment, a first assembly hole 152 is opened on the back panel 15, and a second assembly hole 72 is opened on the front side of the body 10. The hinge 12 is assembled through the first assembly hole 152 and the second assembly hole 72.

[0064] Example 2

[0065] Combined with Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In order to further improve the user experience, in this example, a strip-shaped relief groove 153 is provided on the upper side of the back plate 15, and the light strip 9 is installed in the relief groove 153. A wire passing hole 74 is correspondingly opened on the front cover plate 7 of the body 10, and the wire harness tube 17 passes through the wire passing hole 74. The wire harness inside the wire harness tube 17 can supply power to the light strip 9, creating an atmosphere when receiving water or providing illumination when receiving water at night.

[0066] Example 3

[0067] Combined with Figure 4 In order to further improve the user experience, in this example, a hidden handle 156 is provided on the upper front side of the back plate 15. It is also possible to set the handle 156 on the right side or the lower side of the back plate 15. In this example, still from the perspective of conforming to the user's usage habits, a hidden concave structure is provided on the upper side of the back plate 15 to form the hidden handle 156. The handle 156 is hidden behind the front plate 11 and is invisible when viewed directly, while facilitating the opening of the door body 1 relative to the body 10.

[0068] A shock pad 154, a first magnetic attraction block 155 and a plug 157 are also provided on the side of the back plate 15 away from the hinge 12. Among them, the first magnetic attraction block 155 cooperates with the second magnetic attraction block 76 at the corresponding position on the front cover plate 7 of the body 10 and is configured to increase the closing force between the door body 1 and the body 10.

[0069] Shock pads 154 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the first magnetic attraction block 155 for reducing the vibration and noise when the door body 1 opens and closes relative to the body 10.

[0070] In this example, the plug 157 is arranged at the lower corner of the shock pad 154. The plug 157 preferably has a conical structure and the plug 157 itself has magnetism or a magnet is arranged inside. A Hall sensor is arranged in the socket 77 on the front cover plate 7 of the body 10. The magnet cooperates with the Hall sensor. The Hall sensor detects the position of the plug 157 and transmits the detection signal to the controller. The controller accordingly judges whether the door body 1 is closed in place relative to the body 10 and can issue an alarm or voice prompt if necessary. The settings of the first magnetic attraction block 155 and the plug 157 can ensure the reliable closing of the door body 1 and prevent it from being opened under accidental touch.

[0071] Example 4

[0072] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 10, a clamping plate is attached to the concave portion 151. The clamping plate is disposed between the front plate 11 and the back plate 15. The clamping plate can be integrally arranged according to the shape of the back plate 15. In this embodiment, from the perspective of more convenient processing, a split first clamping plate 13 and a second clamping plate 14 are provided. The first clamping plate 13 and the second clamping plate 14 can cover the areas of the two concave portions 151 that are visible when looking directly inward from the rectangular window 111 of the front plate 11.

[0073] The screw hole 158 cooperates with the threaded holes (not marked in the figure) opened on the front plate 11, the first clamping plate 13, and the second clamping plate 14. The assembly of the front plate 11, the first clamping plate 13, the second clamping plate 14, and the back plate 15 is realized by inserting nuts.

[0074] Since the water nozzle assembly will be fixedly installed at the rear side of the front cover plate 7, and then the water nozzle 5 extends out from the rear side of the front cover plate 7. In this embodiment, a part of the front cover plate 7 area where the water nozzle assembly is installed is blocked by the shielding plate 6. The shielding plate 6, the first clamping plate 13, and the second clamping plate 14 can form a flat surface by combining the areas visible when looking directly inward from the rectangular window 111 of the front plate 11.

[0075] On the one hand, the shielding plate 6, the first clamping plate 13, and the second clamping plate 14 play a role in protecting the inner water nozzle assembly and the back plate 15, and can also make the area of the front cover plate 7 where the water nozzle assembly is set more beautiful. On the other hand, the first clamping plate 13 and the second clamping plate 14 can be the same color as the shielding plate 6, such as all set to metallic colors such as silver white, gold, or bronze, to improve the overall beauty of the device.

[0076] It should be understood that it is also possible to implement the process by not setting the clamping plate and making the side of the back plate 15 exposed to the customer the same color as the shielding plate 6. The solution of this embodiment is a preferred implementation manner.

[0077] Embodiment 5

[0078] Based on the front door, this embodiment designs a water purification device with a completely new structural form, combined with Figure 8 - Figure 11 , the water purification device includes a housing surrounded by the upper cover plate 3, the side cover plates 4 (the other two side cover plates are not shown in the figure), and the bottom plate not shown in the figure; water treatment components such as filters, racks, and water tanks are arranged inside the housing. The housing and the water treatment components constitute the body 10 of the main part of the water dispenser.

[0079] It should be understood that for an embedded water purification device, only the front end faces the customer. Therefore, setting the housing to cover the internal water treatment components mainly serves the functions of beauty and protection. In fact, it is also feasible not to set the upper cover plate 3 and the side cover plates 4.

[0080] A water nozzle 5 is provided on the front side of the body 10 for discharging the purified water in the body 10 from the water outlet of the water nozzle 5; a water receiving table 16 is provided for placing a water receiving container so that the water receiving container can receive the water discharged from the water nozzle 5; a liquid collecting box 8 is provided for collecting the water dissipated when the water receiving container placed on the water receiving table 16 receives water; the liquid collecting box 8 includes a box body with a water receiving cavity, and an opening is provided at the top of the water receiving cavity.

[0081] The front door is movably installed on the front side of the body 10. Specifically, a front cover plate 7 is provided on the front side of the body 10, and the front cover plate 7 can cover the internal components of the housing, and the door body 1 can cover the front cover plate 7 so that the front side of the front cover plate 7 is in an invisible state. The front cover plate 7 is provided with a receiving cavity 78 recessed into the body 10. When the front door is closed, the front door can be covered on the receiving cavity 78 of the body 10.

[0082] It should be understood that here the door body 1 covering the front cover plate 7 does not necessarily mean completely covering it by 100%, and it can also cooperate with other components to jointly cover the front cover plate 7. Specifically, in this embodiment, a front panel 2 is further provided at the front end of the body 10 and the upper end of the door body 1. The front panel 2 is fixed to the upper end of the front cover plate 7 and covers the upper region of the front cover plate 7. Because of the shielding of the front panel 2, the door body 1 only needs to cover the remaining region of the front cover plate 7. The front panel 2 can be used to set components such as a display screen, a touch control panel or an indicator light. The front panel 2 and the door body 1 can be integrally designed or separately designed, which is completely achievable in terms of technology. Only a separate design is adopted in this embodiment. When the front panel 2 and the door body 1 are integrally designed, it can be understood as a door body 1 of an integral structure.

[0083] Combined Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the water nozzle 5 is installed on the body 10 above the receiving cavity 78, and a box body installation part 71 is provided below the receiving cavity 78. The box body of the liquid collecting box 8 is detachably installed at the box body installation part 71; the position of the liquid collecting box 8 on the receiving cavity 78 is configured such that when the front door is closed, the front door can completely cover the liquid collecting box 8, and the water receiving table 16 is located above the liquid collecting box 8, and the water on the tabletop of the water receiving table 16 can flow into the liquid collecting box 8 provided on the body 10 through the water collecting channel 1512. When the front door is opened, the liquid collecting box 8 can be taken out from the box body installation part 71.

[0084] In this embodiment, the water receiving table 16 and the liquid collecting box 8 are separately provided. The liquid collecting box 8 can be conveniently taken out by opening the door body 1, and the sewage in the liquid collecting box 8 can be poured out. Moreover, it is not easy for users to find the dirt in the liquid collecting box 8 from the outside, further improving the user experience.

[0085] Combined Figure 9 - Figure 11, a filter element assembly port 73 is provided on the cavity wall of the accommodation cavity 78, and the number and opening position of the filter element assembly port 73 are determined according to the actual situation of the device. In view of the design feature that the built-in water purification device is completely embedded in a cabinet or a wall, in this embodiment, the filter element inside the body 10 is horizontally placed, and the filter element assembly port 73 is correspondingly communicated with the filter element cavity on the body 10, so that the filter element can be inserted horizontally inward from the front side of the outer shell into the filter element mounting seat through the filter element assembly port 73, and can be drawn out horizontally outward from the filter element assembly port 73 for overall replacement. The position of the filter element assembly port 73 provided on the accommodation cavity 78 is configured such that when the front door is closed, the front door can completely cover the filter element assembly port 73, and when the front door is opened, the filter element can be completely taken out from the filter element assembly port 73.

[0086] It should be noted that during the service life of the water purification device, the filter element is the key to ensuring water quality and needs to be maintained regularly. Replacing the filter element has the characteristics that it can be operated by the user and the operation frequency is relatively high compared with other equipment failures. In this embodiment, the filter element assembly port 73 is arranged on the accommodation cavity 78 of the front cover plate 7, which not only ensures that it is more convenient for both professionals and users to replace the filter element, but also covers the filter element, the frame, the water tank and other components inside the body 10 through the front cover plate 7, preventing the user from opening the door body 1 and seeing all the components in the chamber at a glance, which affects the user's visual experience and improves the use safety of the device.

[0087] Combined with Figure 11 , in this embodiment, a control button is further provided on the cavity wall of the accommodation cavity 78. The control button includes but is not limited to a power switch 75 for controlling whether the water purification device works. The position of the control button provided on the body 10 is configured such that when the front door is closed, the front door can completely cover the control button, and when the front door is opened, the control button can be operated to control the water purification device.

[0088] As described above, since the built-in water purification device is completely embedded in a cabinet or a wall, it is the most convenient way to set the control button at the front end of the water purification device. In this embodiment, the control button is hidden inside the door body 1, which not only makes the front panel of the water purification device facing the customer simple and grand as a whole, but also avoids the possibility of accidentally touching the control button.

[0089] It should be understood that in the present utility model, only the filter element assembly port 73 and the control button are described as being arranged on the accommodation cavity 78 of the front cover plate 7. During the normal operation of the water purification device, they are hidden inside by the door body 1, so as to keep the front panel of the water purification device facing the customer simple. When it is necessary to replace the filter element or operate the control button, the door body 1 is opened for operation. Setting structural components not mentioned in the present utility model on the front cover plate 7 and hiding them inside by the door body 1 do not deviate from the design concept of the present utility model and should be included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.

[0090] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not thereby limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present utility model by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields shall be included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
