[0002] With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people are paying more and more attention to their health and have higher and higher requirements for drinking water. Household water purifiers have begun to become popular.

[0003] In order to save space, existing water purifiers are mostly integrated and installed on the sink to form a sink assembly.

[0004] To meet the demand for hot water output, existing water purifiers with sink assemblies are equipped with heaters to output filtered, purified, and heated hot water. However, these heaters are often housed in the same housing as the filter element in the water purifier. This can adversely affect the water purifier's performance during heating, making the filter element, especially the membrane, susceptible to malfunction due to overheating, shortening its service life.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the following embodiments:

[0044] Example:

[0045] The water tank assembly is a component structure composed of a water tank a, a water purifier d and a heater e.

[0046] Among them, the sink a is a component for receiving water flow and washing items, and is generally embedded in the kitchen countertop.

[0047] In this embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4 As shown, the water tank a primarily comprises a tank body a1, which includes an upward-opening cleaning tank a1.1. A water outlet a1.2 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank a1.1 for the liquid in the cleaning tank a1.1 to flow out. Furthermore, a valve is typically provided at the water outlet a1.2 to control whether the water outlet a1.2 is open or closed, allowing the outlet a1.2 to be kept open or closed according to cleaning needs.

[0048] The tank body a1 of the water tank a is fixedly connected to a tap j for connecting to a tap water pipe to output tap water to the cleaning tank a1.1.

[0049] In order to obtain pure water by filtering and purifying tap water, a water purification faucet b and a water purifier d are provided in this embodiment.

[0050] Specifically, as attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4 As shown in FIG, in this embodiment, a water purification faucet b is fixedly attached to the body a1 of sink a. This faucet b is connected to a water inlet pipe c. One end of the water inlet pipe c is connected to the water purification faucet b, and the other end of the water inlet pipe c has a water inlet c.1 for connecting to a tap water pipe. Once sink a is installed, the water inlet c.1 is connected to the outlet of the tap water pipe, allowing tap water to flow through the water inlet pipe c to the water purification faucet b, where it is then discharged.

[0051] The water purifier d is used to filter and purify water flowing into the water inlet pipe c. It includes a water purification filter element d2 installed in the water inlet pipe c to filter and purify the water flowing into the water inlet pipe c, and a water purifier housing d1 for mounting the water purification filter element d2.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to obtain hot purified water, this embodiment is further provided with: a heater e for heating the water flowing out of the water purifier d to the water purification faucet b. The heater e includes a heater housing e1, a heat flow pipe e2 placed in the heater housing e1, and a heating body e3 wrapped around the outer periphery of the heat flow pipe e2. The heat flow pipe e2 is arranged in the water inlet pipe c so that the water in the water inlet pipe c can flow through the heat flow pipe e2, and the heating body e3 is preferably an electric heating wire. By electrically connecting the heating body e3 to a power source (such as a live socket), it can be powered on and generate heat. The heater e can be provided with a switch that controls the electrical connection between the heating body e3 and the power source. By controlling the switch on / off, the heating body e3 can be controlled to heat or not heat.

[0053] At this time, in the direction from the water inlet c.1 to the water purification tap b, the water purifier d and the heater e divide the water inlet pipe c into a first pipe c1, a second pipe c2, and a third pipe c3. The water inlet c.1 is located in the first pipe c1.

[0054] When the water tank a is installed and the water inlet c.1 of the water inlet pipe c is connected to the tap water pipe:

[0055] Tap water flows into the first pipeline c1 from the water inlet c.1 of the first pipeline c1, and flows into the water purification filter element d2 of the water purifier d for filtration and purification to form pure water; the pure water flows into the second pipeline c2 from the water outlet of the water purification filter element d2, and flows into the heat flow pipe e2 through the second pipeline c2, so that the heating body e3 can heat the pure water; the heated hot pure water flows from the heat flow pipe e2 to the third pipeline c3, and flows from the third pipeline c3 to the water purification faucet b. When the water purification faucet b is turned on, the hot pure water can be output.

[0056] In order to reduce the impact of the heating effect of the heater e on the water purifier d, the possibility of the water purification filter d2 malfunctioning or being thermally deformed due to heat is reduced.

[0057] In this embodiment, the water purifier d and the heater e are both installed on the water tank a and are both located at the rear of the water tank a (as shown in the attached figure). Figure 1 As shown in , the rear portion refers to the side facing away from the user after the water tank is installed), and the water purifier d and the heater e are spaced apart.

[0058] In this way, the heater e is placed outside the water purifier d and spaced apart from the water purifier d, so that the pure water output by the water purifier d (referring to the water filtered and purified by the water purifier d) can be heated to obtain hot pure water while reducing the impact of the heating action of the heater e on the filter element, especially the filter membrane, in the water purifier d, so as to increase the service life of the water purifier d.

[0059] At the same time, the water purifier d and the heater e are both installed on the water tank a, and there is no need to add additional support structures for the water purifier d and the heater e, making the overall structure of the water tank assembly more concise.

[0060] Moreover, placing the water purifier d and the heater e at the rear of the sink a (on the side facing away from the user after the sink a is installed) can avoid occupying the lower space of the sink a, facilitate the connection of the water pipe at the bottom of the sink a, and realize that after the sink a component is installed, space can be reserved at the bottom for storing items, which is convenient for placing items.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water purifier d and the heater e are preferably detachably installed at the rear of the water tank a to facilitate disassembly and maintenance of the water purifier d and the heater e.

[0062] Specifically, as attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the rear part of the water tank a has a connecting plate a1.3 extending laterally to the right, and a first mounting hole a1.31 is provided on the connecting plate a1.3. The size of the first mounting hole a1.31 is adapted to the outer contour size of the water purifier d so that the water purifier d can be inserted from top to bottom.

[0063] The outer periphery of the upper end of the water purifier d is provided with an outwardly protruding first support portion d1.1. There are at least two first support portions d1.1, one on each side of the first support portion d1.1. When the water purifier d is inserted downward into the first mounting hole a1.31, the first support portions d1.1 overlap the connecting plate a1.3, securing the water purifier d in place on the sink a.

[0064] When the water purifier d needs to be disassembled, the water purifier d can be pulled upward to separate it from the first mounting hole a1.31 for disassembly.

[0065] To facilitate the removal of the water purifier d, a first lifting portion d1.2 can be provided on the top of the water purifier d. In this embodiment, the first lifting portion d1.2 is an opening provided on the top of the water purifier d, through which a maintenance worker can insert his hand to grasp the top of the water purifier d.

[0066] In order to prevent the water on the sink and other debris from corroding the water purifier, Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a first cover plate f can be detachably connected to the connecting plate a1.3 by using screws or snap-fit structures, and the first cover plate f covers the first mounting hole a1.31 and the water purifier d from top to bottom to form protection.

[0067] Furthermore, the connecting plate a1.3 may be provided with a first positioning slot a1.32 with an upward-facing notch, matching the first support portion d1.1. When the water purifier d is inserted from top to bottom into the first mounting hole a1.31, the first support portion d1.1 fits snugly into the first positioning slot a1.32, securing the first support portion d1.1 and preventing unnecessary lateral movement of the first support portion d1.1 and the water purifier d.

[0068] Similarly, the connecting plate a1.3 is provided with a second mounting hole a1.33, sized to fit the outer dimensions of the heater e, allowing for downward insertion. Furthermore, the outer periphery of the upper end of the heater e is provided with an outwardly projecting second support portion e1.1. There are at least two second support portions e1.1, one on each side of the heater e. When the heater e is inserted into the second mounting hole a1.33, the second support portions e1.1 overlap the connecting plate a1.3, securing the heater e in place on the sink a.

[0069] When the heater e needs to be disassembled, the heater e can be pulled upward to separate it from the second mounting hole a1.33 for disassembly.

[0070] At this time, the top of the heater e is provided with a second lifting portion e1.2 for gripping. In this embodiment, the second lifting portion e1.2 is preferably a handle provided on the top of the heater e.

[0071] In order to prevent the water on the sink and other debris from corroding the heater, Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown in , the connecting plate a1.3 can also be detachably connected to a second cover plate g by using, for example, screws or a snap-fit structure. The second cover plate g covers the second mounting hole a1.33 and the heater e from top to bottom to form protection.

[0072] Furthermore, the connecting plate a1.3 can also be provided with: a second positioning groove a1.34 with the notch facing upwards to match the second support part e1.1; when the heater e is inserted into the second mounting hole a1.33 from top to bottom, the second support part e1.1 is adapted to be embedded in the second positioning groove a1.34; so as to realize the positioning and clamping of the second support part e1.1, and avoid unnecessary lateral movement of the second support part e1.1 and the heater e.

[0073] Furthermore, the water purification faucet b can quickly output both hot purified water and cold purified water while avoiding interference between hot and cold purified water.

[0074] In this embodiment, the water purifier faucet b is preferably a hot and cold water faucet, having a cold water inlet for cold water and a hot water inlet for hot water. The water inlet pipe c is connected to the hot water inlet. Furthermore, the water outlet of the water purifier d is also connected to the cold water inlet via the cold water pipe h. In this case, the water outlet of the water purifier filter d2 is connected to both the second pipe c2 and the cold water pipe h.

[0075] When the hot and cold water faucets are operated to discharge heat, hot purified water is output from the faucets as described above.

[0076] When operating the hot and cold taps to discharge cold air:

[0077] Tap water flows into the first pipe c1 from the water inlet c.1 of the first pipe c1 and flows into the water purification filter element d2 of the water purifier d for filtration and purification to form pure water; the pure water flows into the cold water pipe h from the water outlet of the water purification filter element d2 and flows from the cold water pipe h to the water purification faucet b. Turn on the water purification faucet b to output cold pure water.

[0078] Based on the above scheme, heater e can also be attached to the outer wall of the cleaning tank a1.1, so that when no hot pure water is produced, the waste heat transmitted to the outside by heater e can be better transferred to the inner wall of the cleaning tank a1.1, so as to better promote the evaporation of water droplets on the inner wall of the cleaning tank a1.1, and promote the inner wall of the cleaning tank a1.1 to be better kept dry and clean.

[0079] Furthermore, as attached Figure 4 As shown, the heater e of this embodiment may also include a preheating tank e4 placed in the heater housing e1, and the preheating tank e4 has a preheating chamber for accommodating water. The water inlet of the preheating chamber is connected to the second pipe c2, and the water outlet is connected to the heat flow pipe e2. In addition, a heating rod is provided in the preheating chamber, which is preferably electrically connected to the heating body e3 and can be opened / closed synchronously with the heating body e3. By providing the preheating tank e4 and the heating rod, the pure water before flowing to the heating body e3 can be preheated, thereby improving the heating efficiency. At the same time, by providing the preheating tank e4, the heater e as described above is attached to the outer wall of the cleaning tank a1.1, and when no hot pure water is produced, the residual heat of the hot water in the preheating tank e4 can also be transferred to the inner wall of the cleaning tank a1.1, further improving the drying effect of the cleaning tank a1.1.
