Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a water purifier. Background Art

[0002] A water purifier is a water treatment device used to deeply filter and purify water. Its main function is to remove suspended matter, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, residual chlorine, silt, rust, microorganisms, etc. in water to provide safer and healthier clean water.

[0003] Water purifiers usually use a combination of multi-stage filter elements to remove impurities in the water through gradual filtration. You can refer to the structure disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent "A Filtering Device for a Water Purifier" with application number 202022747378.1, which includes a mounting frame and multiple filter cartridges connected in sequence. The filter cartridge includes a filter bottle with a filter element and a filter cover sealed on the filter bottle. The filter cover is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water outlet of the filter cover is connected to the water inlet of the adjacent filter cover. Multiple filter covers are connected to form a filter cover assembly. The mounting frame includes a mounting plate, and a hanging plate and a baffle provided on opposite sides of the mounting plate. The filter cover assembly is fixed to the mounting plate and is located below the mounting plate. The baffle covers the filter cover assembly.

[0004] In addition to multiple filter cartridges connected in sequence, many water purifiers will also be equipped with an ultraviolet sterilizer connected to the filter cartridge above the mounting plate to further disinfect the water, such as the structure disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent "A water purifier with adjustable TDS value" with application number 202220929116.3. However, the top of the mounting plate must not only accommodate the ultraviolet sterilizer, but also reserve space for components such as the water quality monitoring panel, pressure gauge, and power adapter (used to indicate the working status of the ultraviolet sterilizer), which undoubtedly increases the congestion of the top space. In addition, these control and indicator devices are laid flat on the mounting plate, which is not only inconvenient to view, but also easily blocked by other components, affecting the intuitiveness and convenience of operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to propose a water purifier with a reasonable space layout on the installation plate and control and indicating devices that will not be blocked in response to the above technical status quo.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a water purifier, comprising a mounting frame with a mounting plate, the mounting plate is horizontally arranged, at least two filtering devices connected in sequence with fluid are installed below the mounting plate, and an ultraviolet sterilizer connected in fluid with the filtering devices is installed above the mounting plate, characterized in that a supporting vertical plate is provided on the mounting plate, the supporting vertical plate is located on the front side of the ultraviolet sterilizer, a control indicating device is vertically installed on the front plate surface of the supporting vertical plate, and the control indicating device is supported by the supporting vertical plate.

[0007] In order to improve installation efficiency and reduce material costs, it is preferred that the mounting plate and the supporting vertical plate are an integral part, and the mounting plate has a rectangular vertical plate portion, one of the four sides of the vertical plate portion is a connecting side connected to the main body of the mounting plate, and the remaining three sides are not connected to the main body of the mounting plate, and the vertical plate portion is folded upward with the connecting side as the folding angle to form the supporting vertical plate.

[0008] The vertical plate portion can be a separate protrusion located at the frontmost side of the main body of the mounting portion, that is, the connecting edge is the rear side of the vertical plate portion, but this structure requires more material and is inconvenient to process. Therefore, as a preference, the vertical plate portion is located inside the mounting plate, and before the vertical plate portion is folded upward, its connecting edge is located at the frontmost side of the vertical plate portion, and the remaining three edges are separated from the main body of the mounting plate by cutting. After the vertical plate portion is folded upward, the mounting plate forms an opening at the original position of the vertical plate portion.

[0009] Since the pressure gauge can be set vertically without the support of the supporting plate, which is different from other control indicating devices, the water purifier also includes a pressure gauge as a preferred embodiment of the present technical solution. The filter devices are connected to each other and the filter devices and the ultraviolet sterilizer are connected by water pipes. A pressure gauge connecting part is provided on the water pipe. A pressure gauge avoidance hole is opened on the mounting plate. The pressure gauge connecting part extends upward from the pressure gauge avoidance hole and out of the plane of the mounting plate. The pressure gauge is connected to the pressure gauge connecting part.

[0010] In order to make the overall structure of the water purifier more beautiful, it is necessary to cover part of the installation and connection positions. Preferably, the mounting frame also includes a baffle, a hanging plate and a side plate. The baffle is extended downward from the front side of the mounting plate, and covers the connection between the filter device and the water pipe from the front. The hanging plate is extended upward from the rear side of the mounting plate. The side plate includes two pieces, which extend downward from the left and right sides of the mounting plate respectively, and cover the connection between the filter device and the water pipe from the side.

[0011] Preferably, the side panels are provided with water pipe avoidance holes, through which the water pipes pass through the side panels. This structure not only ensures the overall beauty of the water purifier, but also allows for support and planning management of the water pipes.

[0012] In order to increase the strength of the mounting frame structure, preferably, the edge of the hanging plate is horizontally folded backward to form a hanging plate fold.

[0013] Furthermore, the rear side of the side panel is folded toward the other side panel opposite it to form a side panel fold. This structure strengthens the structure. While maintaining the overall strength, the material strength can be reduced accordingly, thus providing more possibilities for the selection of materials for the mounting bracket. For example, the use of aluminum alloy can significantly enhance the appearance of the water purifier compared to the commonly used stainless steel material.

[0014] To facilitate the installation of the water purifier, preferably, the hanging plate is provided with a hanging hole, which is gourd-shaped and is composed of a smaller upper hole and a larger lower hole.

[0015] Specifically, the filtering device includes first-stage PP cotton, second-stage carbon rod, third-stage folded PP, and fourth-stage scale-inhibiting carbon rod in sequence. The ultraviolet sterilizer is arranged behind the third-stage folded PP and before the fourth-stage scale-inhibiting carbon rod in the order of water flow. The water purifier also includes a water inlet and a water outlet. The first-stage PP cotton is connected to the water inlet, and the fourth-stage scale-inhibiting carbon rod is connected to the water outlet.

[0016] Compared to existing technologies, this utility model incorporates a support plate on the mounting plate, enabling a vertical layout of control and indicator devices such as the water quality monitoring panel, pressure gauge, and power adapter. This not only effectively conserves space on the mounting plate and avoids the congestion caused by laying equipment flat, but also, due to the vertical arrangement of the equipment, significantly improves the readability and ease of use of the control and indicator devices. Furthermore, the layout of the support plate takes into account actual usage scenarios, being placed in front of the UV sterilizer to ensure that the control and indicator devices are not obscured by the UV sterilizer, thus ensuring visibility and operability of the equipment.

[0024] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this is a preferred embodiment of a water purifier of the present utility model. This embodiment includes an integrated sheet metal mounting frame 1, which is made of aluminum alloy material instead of traditional stainless steel material. The mounting frame 1 is as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it includes a mounting plate 11 , a supporting vertical plate 111 , a baffle 12 , a hanging plate 13 and a side plate 14 .

[0026] The mounting plate 11 is arranged horizontally. A filter device 3 is mounted below the mounting plate 11, and an ultraviolet sterilizer 5 is mounted above the mounting plate 11. In this embodiment, the ultraviolet sterilizer 5 is secured to the mounting plate 11 via a clamp structure. The filter devices 3 are mounted below the mounting plate 11 in two rows, front and back. The front row, from right to left, comprises first-stage PP cotton 31, second-stage carbon rods 32, and third-stage folded PP 33. The water inlet of the first-stage PP cotton 31 is connected to the water inlet of the water purifier. The water outlets of the first-stage PP cotton 31, second-stage carbon rods 32, and third-stage folded PP 33 are connected to the water inlet in sequence. The water outlet of the third-stage folded PP 33 is connected to the water inlet of the ultraviolet sterilizer 5 above the mounting plate 11. The water outlet of the ultraviolet sterilizer 5 is further connected to the water inlet of the fourth-stage scale-inhibiting carbon rods 34, located in the rear row below the mounting plate 11. The water outlet of the fourth-stage scale-inhibiting carbon rods 34 is connected to the water outlet of the water purifier.

[0027] The mounting plate 11 is provided with a support vertical plate 111, and the support vertical plate 111 is located on the front side of the ultraviolet sterilizer 5. In this embodiment, a power adapter 21 for indicating the working status of the ultraviolet sterilizer 5 is vertically installed on the front plate surface of the support vertical plate 111. In addition, other control indicating devices 2 such as a water quality detection panel or a pressure gauge 22 can also be installed. These control indicating devices 2 are supported by the support vertical plate 111. The mounting plate 11 has a rectangular vertical plate portion, and one of the four sides of the vertical plate portion is a connecting side connected to the main body of the mounting plate 11, and the other three sides are not connected to the main body of the mounting plate 11. The vertical plate portion is folded upward with the connecting side as an angle to become the aforementioned support vertical plate 111. The use of this structure can improve the installation efficiency. The vertical plate portion can be a separate protrusion located at the frontmost side of the main body of the mounting portion, that is, the connecting side is the rear side of the vertical plate portion, but this structure consumes more materials and is inconvenient to process. Therefore, it is preferred, such as Figure 6As shown, the vertical plate portion of this embodiment is located inside the mounting plate 11. Before the vertical plate portion is folded upward, its connecting edge is located at the frontmost side of the vertical plate portion. The remaining three edges are separated from the main portion of the mounting plate 11 by cutting. After the vertical plate portion is folded upward, an opening 113 is formed in the mounting plate 11 at the location where the vertical plate portion originally existed. The first-stage PP cotton 31 is installed on the right side of the opening 113, the second-stage carbon rod 32 and the third-stage folded PP rod 33 are installed on the left side of the opening 113, and the fourth-stage scale-inhibiting carbon rod 34 is installed on the rear side of the opening 113.

[0028] Because the pressure gauge 22 can be vertically mounted without the support of the support plate 111, unlike other control and indicating devices 2, this embodiment provides further improvements. The filter devices 3 and the ultraviolet sterilizer 5 are connected by water pipes. The water pipes are provided with a pressure gauge connection portion 4. A pressure gauge avoidance hole 112 is provided at a corresponding position on the mounting plate 11. The pressure gauge connection portion 4 extends from the bottom of the mounting plate 11 through the pressure gauge avoidance hole 112 to the top of the mounting plate 11. The pressure gauge 22 is connected to the pressure gauge connection portion 4, thereby achieving a vertical mounting position.

[0029] The baffle 12 of this embodiment is formed by extending downward from the front side of the mounting plate 11. Figure 1 As shown, it can shield the connection between the filter device 3 and the water pipe, as well as the connection between the filter device 3 and the mounting plate 11 from the front, which makes the overall structure of the water purifier more beautiful.

[0030] The hanging plate 13 of this embodiment is formed by extending upward from the rear side of the mounting plate 11. Figure 4 As shown, the hanging plate 13 has a hanging hole 131. The hanging hole 131 is gourd-shaped, consisting of a smaller upper hole and a larger lower hole, so that the water purifier can be hung on the wall. The edge of the hanging plate 13 is horizontally folded back to form a hanging plate fold 132, thereby strengthening the overall structural strength of the mounting frame 1.

[0031] The side panels 14 include two pieces, which are respectively extended downward from the left and right sides of the mounting plate 11 and shield the connection between the filter device 3 and the water pipe from the side. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown. The side panel 14 is provided with a water pipe avoidance hole 141, and the water pipe passes through the side panel 14 through the water pipe avoidance hole 141. This structure not only ensures the overall beauty of the water purifier, but also can support and plan the management of each water pipe. In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe of the water purifier, that is, the water pipe between the water inlet of the water purifier and the first-stage PP cotton 31, is installed with a pressure gauge 22. The pressure gauge avoidance hole 112 corresponding to the pressure gauge 22 is opened on the rightmost side of the mounting plate 11. The water pipe avoidance hole 141 corresponding to the water inlet pipe is opened adjacent to the pressure gauge avoidance hole 112 and is interconnected. You can refer to Figure 6Similar to the hanging plate 13 , the rear side of the side plate 14 is folded toward the other side plate 14 opposite thereto to form a side plate folding edge 142 .

[0032] The side panel hems 142 and the gusset hems 132 reinforce the overall structure of the mounting frame 1. While maintaining overall strength, the material strength can be reduced accordingly, thus providing more options for selecting the material for the mounting frame 1. For example, choosing aluminum alloy can significantly enhance the appearance of the water purifier compared to the commonly used stainless steel. Table 1 shows the parameters of mounting frames 1 made of stainless steel and aluminum alloy, with 304 stainless steel being used as an example and 6061 aluminum alloy being used as an example. Existing stainless steel mounting frames typically use a spray-coating process for aesthetic appeal, while aluminum alloy products generally use the more expensive anodizing process, which offers far superior appearance and quality, and also offers superior corrosion resistance. Furthermore, considering the combined cost of both the process and the materials, aluminum alloy still offers a slightly lower cost. In terms of weight, the mounting frame 1 made of aluminum alloy is 3.4 kg lighter, significantly improving the installation experience for the installer. Furthermore, the side panel hems 142 and gusset hems 132 of this embodiment provide structurally sufficient rigidity and strength that the material itself lacks.

[0034]

[0035] This embodiment incorporates a support plate 111 on the mounting plate 11, enabling the vertical arrangement of the control and indicator devices 2, including the water quality monitoring panel, pressure gauge 22, and power adapter 21. This not only effectively conserves space on the mounting plate 11 and avoids the congestion caused by laying the devices flat, but also, due to the vertical arrangement of the devices, significantly improves the readability and ease of operation of the control and indicator devices 2. Furthermore, the layout of the support plate 111 takes into account practical usage scenarios, being placed in front of the UV sterilizer 5 to ensure that the control and indicator devices 2 are not obscured by the UV sterilizer 5, thus ensuring visibility and operability of the device.
