[0043] The filter element 3 is convenient to install and can be used as a filter element in a water supply container 1. In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the filter element 3 is easily offset and misaligned when connected to the waterway plate, and the docking accuracy between the filter element 3 and the waterway plate cannot be guaranteed, the present application provides a waterway plate, a filter element 3, a water purification assembly and a water purification device. The filter element 3 can be plugged and guided by the first guide part 12 set on the waterway plate, so that the filter element 3 can move axially along the accommodating cavity 11 of the waterway plate mounting seat 1, and the force direction is stable during disassembly and assembly, which can avoid damage to the filter element 3; the water inlet 133 of the waterway channel 13 is set on the first guide part 12, and the axial plug-in guidance is performed by the first guide part 12, so that the water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 is accurately docked with the water inlet 133 of the waterway channel 13, so as to avoid the filter element 3 from rotating in the circumferential direction when installing, and avoid the water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 and the water inlet 133 of the waterway plate from being offset and misaligned, thereby ensuring the normal use of the water purification assembly and the water purification equipment.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 10 In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a waterway plate, comprising a mounting base 1, wherein the mounting base 1 comprises a receiving cavity 11 having a mounting opening, so that one end of the filter element 3 having the water outlet pipe 32 is inserted into the receiving cavity 11 of the mounting base 1 for fixing. Figure 1 and Figure 8 shown.

[0045] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 A first guide portion 12 is provided in the accommodating chamber 11, and the first guide portion 12 extends along the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11, and is used to guide the insertion of the filter element 3; the filter element 3 can be inserted or withdrawn along the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11, which can ensure that the force direction of the filter element 3 during disassembly and assembly remains parallel to the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11, so that the force on the filter element 3 is stable, and the filter element 3 is prevented from being damaged during the disassembly and assembly process.

[0046] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 A water channel 13 is provided in the mounting base 1, and a water inlet 133 of the water channel 13 is provided through the first guide portion 12 for docking with the water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3. When the filter element 3 is installed, the filter element 3 moves toward the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11 under the guidance of the first guide portion 12, and the water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 gradually approaches the water inlet 133 provided through the first guide portion 12, and can achieve precise docking under the guidance of the first guide portion 12, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the filter element 3 can be prevented from rotating in the circumferential direction during installation, and the offset and misalignment between the water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 and the water inlet 133 of the waterway plate can be avoided, thereby ensuring the normal use of the water purification component and the water purification equipment.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to cooperate with the first guide portion 12 to achieve guidance and docking, one end of the filter element 3 is provided with a third guide portion 31 that matches the first guide portion 12, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first guide portion 12 and the third guide portion 31 cooperate to achieve axial plug-in guidance. The outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 is correspondingly arranged with the third guide portion 31, so that the relative position between the outlet pipe 32 and the third guide portion 31 is fixed, so that the outlet pipe 32 can be accurately docked by the cooperation between the first guide portion 12 and the third guide portion 31.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5The first guide portion 12 is provided protruding from the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 11, and can be used to guide and limit the movement of the filter element 3. Specifically, the first guide portion 12 includes a connected guide surface 121 and an abutting surface 122. The guide surface 121 extends along the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11. The filter element 3 and the guide surface 121 slide relative to each other along the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11. The guide surface 121 can be used to guide the movement of the filter element 3 during the disassembly and assembly process. The abutting surface 122 is provided toward the installation opening. When the filter element 3 moves to contact the abutting surface 122, the filter element 3 cannot continue to move toward the bottom of the accommodating chamber 11, and the abutting surface 122 can play an axial limiting role on the filter element 3.

[0049] It should be noted that the guide surface 121 can be a plane, a curved surface, or a combination of a plane and a curved surface, but the above planes and curved surfaces all extend along the axial direction of the accommodating cavity 11, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.

[0050] As a specific embodiment of the present application, the guide surface 121 includes two parallel planes and a cylindrical surface. The axis of the cylindrical surface and the axis of the water inlet 133 coincide with the axis of the accommodating cavity 11. The abutment surface 122 is perpendicularly connected to the guide surface 121 so that the abutment surface 122 is perpendicular to the axis of the accommodating cavity 11. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first guide portion 12 is made into a convex block protruding from the accommodating cavity 11, which can be used to perform concave-convex matching with the end of the filter element 3.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The water inlet 133 is set through the abutment surface 122, so that the water inlet 133 can be set toward the installation opening of the accommodating cavity 11, so as to facilitate docking with the filter element 3 entering from the installation opening. The water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 can be inserted into the waterway channel 13 inside the waterway plate from the water inlet 133 to input the filtered water into the waterway plate.

[0052] See also Figure 9 and Figure 10 A seal 14 is provided at the water inlet 133 to achieve sealing between the filter element 3 and the water inlet 133, thereby preventing water leakage between the water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 and the water inlet 133 of the water channel 13.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9The water inlet 133 is provided with a countersunk hole that communicates with the water channel 13. The seal 14 is a sealing ring disposed in the countersunk hole and can be limited by the inner wall of the countersunk hole. The water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 passes through the seal 14 in turn, and the seal between the water outlet pipe 32 and the water inlet 133 is achieved by the seal 14.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 The waterway channel 13 includes a connected water inlet section 131 and a water outlet section 132. The water inlet section 131 extends axially along the accommodating chamber 11. The water inlet 133 of the waterway channel 13 is configured as the water inlet 133 of the water inlet section 131. When the outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 is inserted from the water inlet 133 along the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11, it can be docked with the outlet pipe 32 through the water inlet section 131. The water inlet section 131 achieves axial docking and clearance for the outlet pipe 32, preventing the bottom end of the outlet pipe 32 from being damaged by squeezing. The outlet section 132 extends radially along the accommodating chamber 11, and one end of the outlet section 132 is arranged to penetrate the side wall of the mounting seat 1 so as to guide the water flow to the outside of the mounting seat 1, facilitating the use of the filtered water.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, a water outlet connector 19 is provided on one end of the water outlet section 132 extending out of the mounting seat 1. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it is convenient to lead the water flow out of the waterway plate to realize the use of the water flow.

[0056] It should be noted that the water inlet section 131 and the water outlet section 132 in the water channel 13 are connected in an L-shape, which can simplify the layout of the water channel 13 inside the mounting base 1. When making the water channel 13, it is only necessary to open holes in the axial and radial directions of the mounting base 1, which can reduce the difficulty of making the water channel 13 inside the mounting base 1.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 A first clamping portion 15 is also provided in the accommodating cavity 11 for realizing a clamping connection between the waterway plate and the filter element 3. The first clamping portion 15 extends along the circumference of the accommodating cavity 11 and can be used to realize uniform clamping of the outer periphery of the filter element 3, thereby improving the connection reliability between the filter element 3 and the waterway plate.

[0058] The filter element 3 is provided with a second clamping portion 34 that matches the first clamping portion 15. Through the clamping connection between the first clamping portion 15 and the second clamping portion 34, the end of the filter element 3 with the water outlet pipe 32 can be fixed in the accommodating cavity 11 of the mounting seat 1.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 9 and Figure 10 The first clamping portion 15 includes one or more annular grooves, the second clamping portion 34 includes one or more annular protrusions, and the number of annular grooves in the first clamping portion 15 is the same as the number of annular protrusions in the second clamping portion 34. The fixed connection between the end of the filter element 3 and the mounting seat 1 can be achieved through the clamping connection between the annular grooves and the annular protrusions.

[0060] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the first clamping portion 15 includes two annular grooves, and the second clamping portion 34 includes two annular protrusions, which can form two annular clamping areas, which is beneficial to improving the clamping reliability between the filter element 3 and the mounting seat 1, and at the same time can avoid the situation where the disassembly and assembly between the filter element 3 and the mounting seat 1 is difficult when there are more than two annular clamping areas.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11, the first guide portion 12 is located on the side of the first clamping portion 15 away from the installation opening. When the filter element 3 is inserted into the accommodating chamber 11, it will first contact the first guide portion 12. When the filter element 3 is nearly fully assembled, it is then engaged by the first clamping portion 15. This can reduce the resistance to the filter element 3 in the early stage of assembly (due to the engagement between the first clamping portion 15 and the second clamping portion 34), thereby facilitating the installation of the filter element 3 in the mounting seat 1. At the same time, the concave-convex fit between the first clamping portion 15 and the second clamping portion 34 can prevent impurities from entering the accommodating chamber 11 through the gap between the installation opening of the accommodating chamber 11 and the outer wall of the filter element 3 during use of the water purification assembly and the water purification equipment.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 A locking portion 16 is further provided in the accommodating cavity 11 . The locking portion 16 is used to connect with the filter element 3 , which can further enhance the connection reliability between the filter element 3 and the mounting seat 1 .

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The locking portion 16 includes a plurality of snap-fitting structures, which are sequentially arranged at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11 along the circumference of the accommodating cavity 11, and can be used to achieve uniform snap-fitting of the bottom end face of the filter element 3, thereby preventing the filter element 3 from swinging during use and ensuring that the axis of the filter element 3 always coincides with the axis of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the snap-fit structure may be a structure such as a snap tooth or a snap hook. The filter element 3 has a mating portion 35 at one end with a water outlet that is connected to the locking portion 16 and can be snap-fitted with the snap-fit structure.

[0065] As a specific embodiment of the present application, the locking portion 16 includes four engaging structures, including two first protruding teeth 161 and two second protruding teeth 162. Accordingly, the mating portion 35 is provided with two first engaging grooves 351 and two second engaging grooves 352. When the filter element 3 is properly assembled in the mounting base 1, the first protruding teeth 161 can be correspondingly engaged with the first grooves, and the second protruding teeth 162 can be correspondingly engaged with the second engaging grooves 352.

[0066] In other embodiments of the present application, the locking portion 16 can also lock the filter element 3 by magnetic attraction. Specifically, the locking portion 16 includes a plurality of magnetic members, which are sequentially arranged at the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11 along the circumference of the accommodating cavity 11, and can be used to generate a magnetic attraction force on the end of the filter element 3. Accordingly, a magnetic member with opposite magnetic properties can be provided in the mating portion 35 of the filter element 3, so that a magnetic attraction force is generated between the locking portion 16 and the mating portion 35, thereby achieving a tight fit between the end face of the filter element 3 and the bottom of the accommodating cavity 11, and can be used to achieve uniform clamping of the bottom end face of the filter element 3, thereby preventing the filter element 3 from swinging during use.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 A second guide portion 17 is also provided in the accommodating chamber 11. The second guide portion 17 extends along the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11, and the first guide portion 12 and the second guide portion 17 are arranged opposite to each other, which can be used to uniformly guide the two sides of the radial direction of the bottom end of the filter element 3, so that the filter element 3 always moves along the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the second guide portion 17 is a protrusion provided on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11. In order to achieve cooperation with the second guide portion 17, a fourth guide portion 36 matching the second guide portion 17 is provided at the end of the filter element 3. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the fourth guide portion 36 is a recessed structure at the end of the filter element 3 , so that axial guidance can be achieved through the concave-convex fit between the second guide portion 17 and the fourth guide portion 36 .

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to achieve uniform abutment of the bottom of the filter element 3 by the first guide portion 12 and the second guide portion 17, the axial extension height of the first guide portion 12 is the same as the axial extension height of the second guide portion 17, such as Figure 4 and Figure 9 shown.

[0070] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 An observation window 18 is provided on the side wall of the mounting seat 1 to facilitate observation of the assembly process inside the accommodating chamber 11, so that the water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 can be smoothly inserted into the seal 14 and the water inlet 133, ensuring that the seal 14 completely covers the joint between the water outlet pipe 32 and the water inlet 133 to prevent leakage gaps.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the observation window 18 includes a hollow portion provided on the side wall of the mounting base 1, in which a transparent member such as a glass plate or an acrylic plate is provided. Figure 9 The hollow portion and the transparent member are connected to form an observation window 18, so that the operator can observe the assembly process inside the accommodating cavity 11 through the observation window 18, so as to achieve accurate docking between the filter element 3 and the mounting seat 1.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the waterway plate is made of ABS material, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and strong pressure bearing capacity, which can increase the service life of the waterway plate and reduce the maintenance cost of the waterway plate.

[0073] See also Figures 1 to 10 In the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a filter element 3 is provided for cooperating with the waterway plate in the above embodiment. The filter element 3 includes a third guide portion 31 matched with the first guide portion 12, and the water outlet pipe 32 of the filter element 3 is correspondingly arranged with the third guide portion 31. When the filter element 3 is assembled through the cooperation of the first guide portion 12 and the third guide portion 31, the water outlet pipe 32 is docked with the water inlet 133 on the first guide portion 12.

[0074] In the prior art, since the material of the filter element 3 is relatively fragile, when the filter element 3 is disassembled and assembled, it is easy for the filter element 3 to collide with other components due to the difficulty in controlling the force, thereby affecting the normal use of the water purification component and the water purification equipment.

[0075] In the present application, a second clamping portion 34 is provided on the filter element 3, and the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the filter element 3 is reduced by clamping and connecting the filter element 3 with the waterway plate. During the disassembly and assembly process, through the cooperation of the first guide portion 12 and the third guide portion 31, the filter element 3 only needs to move axially along the accommodating chamber 11 to achieve the engagement or separation between the first clamping portion 15 and the second clamping portion 34 during disassembly and assembly, so that the force direction of the filter element 3 can be stabilized (that is, along the axial direction of the accommodating chamber 11), thereby realizing rapid disassembly and assembly between the filter element 3 and the waterway plate.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the two ends of the filter element 3 are symmetrical structures, where one end is used as the water inlet end and the other end is used as the water outlet end. The middle part of the filter element 3 is provided with a filter material (such as activated carbon, etc.). When the water flows from one end of the filter element 3 through the filter material to the other end, the water flow is filtered. When installing the filter element 3, any end can be connected to the waterway plate as the water outlet end, and the end away from the waterway plate can be used as the water inlet end and connected to the water inlet connector 33, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, there is no need to distinguish the two ends of the filter element 3 before assembly, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the filter element 3.

[0077] See also Figures 1 to 10 The third aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a water purification component, including the waterway plate and filter element 3 in the above embodiment. The waterway plate and the filter element 3 are detachably connected, which can facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the filter element 3 during use.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the detachable connection between the waterway plate and the filter element 3 is a snap-fit connection, a first snap-fit portion 15 is provided on the waterway plate, and a second snap-fit portion 34 is provided on the filter element 3. The snap-fit connection between the first snap-fit portion 15 and the second snap-fit portion 34 enables rapid assembly of the water purification component.
