[0018] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the water purifier facilitating maintenance operations in an embodiment of the present utility model;

[0019] Figure 2 is Figure 1 a schematic diagram when the front panel assembly of the shown water purifier is in an open state;

[0020] Figure 3 is Figure 2 a schematic diagram of the structure of the shown water purifier from another perspective. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The following further describes the present utility model in detail in conjunction with the embodiments of the drawings.

[0022] This embodiment provides a water purifier that is easy to maintain. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water purifier for convenient maintenance operation of this embodiment includes a water purifier housing 1 and a front panel assembly 2, and the front panel assembly 2 is hingedly arranged at the front end of the water purifier housing 1. For example, the front panel assembly 2 is arranged at the front end of the water purifier housing through an upper hinge 41 and a lower hinge 42. Among them, the water purifier of this embodiment also includes a locking structure that receives an external operating force to lock or open the front panel assembly 2 and the water purifier housing 1. The front panel assembly 2 includes a decorative panel 21, a front panel 22, a display assembly 23 and a key board assembly 24. The decorative panel 21 is arranged on the front panel 22, and the front panel 22 is hinged on the water purifier housing 1. The display assembly 23 and the key board assembly 24 are both detachably arranged on the front panel 22 by screws. Among them, a silicone sealing ring is arranged between the key board assembly 24 and the front panel 22 and between the display assembly 23 and the front panel 22.

[0023] Specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking structure of this embodiment includes two first locking structures 31 and a second locking structure 32. The two first locking structures 31 are respectively arranged on the water purifier housing 1 and correspond to the lower end of the front panel assembly 2, and the second locking structure 32 is arranged on the front panel assembly 2 and corresponds to the water purifier housing 1. The water purifier housing 1 here includes a hot water solenoid valve 11 and a fixing plate 12. The fixing plate 12 has a hole for setting a water outlet. The hot water solenoid valve 11 is arranged on the fixing plate 12, and the first locking structure 31 is arranged on the fixing plate 12; the top cover of the water purifier housing 1 is provided with a crossbeam 13 for locking the second locking structure 32. In this way, by operating the first locking structure, the locking tongue of the first locking structure can lock the front panel assembly.
