[0032] Specifically, in combination with Figures 2 - 6As shown, the one-way valve 8 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the action valve housing. A central hole 5, a pure water through-hole 4, and a return hole 3 are provided on the one-way valve 8. An arc-shaped flow rate adjustment water tank 12 is provided on the bottom end surface of the top cover 9. The flow rate adjustment water tank 12 is arc-shaped, and its two ends are respectively communicated with the raw water outlet 1 and the raw water inlet 2. The bottom end of the flow rate adjustment water tank 12 penetrates through the bottom end surface of the top cover. The raw water inlet 2 is communicated with the pure water through-hole 4 through the flow rate adjustment water tank 12. The pure water through-hole 4 is communicated with the central hole 5 through a through-hole 22. The central hole 5 is communicated with the pure water outlet 6. The pure water inlet 7 is communicated with the return hole 3. The return hole 3 is communicated with the raw water outlet 1 through the flow rate adjustment water tank 12. The return hole 3 penetrates through the top end surface and the bottom end surface of the one-way valve 8. The top end of the return hole 3 is communicated with the flow rate adjustment water tank 12, and the bottom end of the return hole 3 is communicated with the pure water inlet 7. An arc-shaped rubber gasket 13 that can cover the flow rate adjustment water tank 12 is fixed on one side of the return hole 3. The bottom end of the central hole 5 penetrates through the bottom end surface of the one-way valve 8 and is communicated with the pure water outlet 6. One end of the pure water outlet 6 has a sleeve 20 that can be inserted into the central hole 5. In addition, a rotary drive block 14 is provided on the top end surface of the one-way valve 8, and a cross-shaped groove 15 is provided on the rotary drive block 14. A through-hole 21 through which the rotary drive block 14 can pass is provided at the center of the top cover 9.

[0033] To ensure the sealing performance, sealing rings are respectively provided at the joints between the top cover 9, the bottom cover 10, and the one-way valve 8. Specifically, sealing rings 16 are respectively provided between the outer walls of the top and bottom ends of the rotary drive block 14 and the inner wall of the top cover 9. A sealing ring 17 is provided at the joint surface between the top cover 9 and the bottom cover 10. Sealing rings 18 are respectively provided between the outer walls of the top and bottom ends of the one-way valve 8 and the inner wall of the bottom cover 10. A sealing ring 19 is provided at the joint between the pure water outlet 6 and the central hole 5 of the one-way valve 8.

[0034] The working principle of the action valve for preventing frequent startup of zero standing water in a water purifier is as follows:

[0035] Zero standing water working principle: When the water purifier is working normally to draw water, the return hole 3 is in a closed state due to the back pressure of the raw water. The purification water enters the pure water through-hole 4 through the pure water inlet 7, and the built-in one-way valve of the pure water through-hole 4 opens. It enters the central hole 5 through the through-hole 22 and then reaches the pure water outlet 6. At this time, it is in a normal water supply state. When the water intake stops, the machine stops under the action of the high-pressure switch. At this time, the water purifier will enter a flushing state for 15 - 30 seconds. At this time, due to the back pressure of the pure water through-hole 4, it is in a closed state. The purification water then flows back into the raw water through the return hole 3. After 15 - 30 seconds of backflow dilution, the water ion concentration in the membrane housing is reduced (the reduction degree is proportional to the backflow time), so as to achieve the purpose of stable water quality and zero standing water.

[0036] Working principle of frequent startup: The water purifier frequently starts because the water production volume is much greater than the water demand of the household pipeline drinking fountain when the water purifier works with the household pipeline drinking fountain. Since the water purifier is controlled by a high-pressure switch to start and stop, the pressure difference fluctuates frequently when the drinking fountain is in use, so the water purifier will repeatedly make and stop water. The solution is that in the design of this control valve, considering the pressure difference and flow difference formed by water purifiers with different water production volumes and different drinking fountains, the arc-shaped flow regulating water tank 12 can communicate with the return hole 3, and the arc-shaped rubber gasket 13 is used to adjust different coverage areas to form a certain amount of purified water return to adapt to different pressure differences and flow differences, so that the water purifier can work properly when the drinking fountain is in use.

[0037] Embodiment 2:

[0038] As Figure 7 shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the pure water outlet 6' and the pure water inlet 7' are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the raw water outlet and the raw water inlet. This structure can be applied to different scenarios. It should be noted that the angles of the pure water outlet 6' and the pure water inlet 7' can also be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "between", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "top", "bottom", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention 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 invention.

[0040] Based on the above inspiration from the ideal embodiment of the present invention, through the above description, relevant staff can completely make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical idea of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content in the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
