DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a water dispenser that facilitates filter cartridge replacement, including a filter cartridge replacement assembly 100 and a water dispenser housing 300. This assembly 100 overcomes the existing problem of requiring filter cartridge replacement within the bottom housing of a direct drinking water dispenser, which is inconvenient and cumbersome due to limited space within the housing. The top of the water dispenser housing 300 is provided with a water outlet 310 and a heating plate 320, and a closed door 330 is provided on the rear side of the water dispenser housing 300.
[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 4The filter cartridge replacement assembly 100 includes a mounting frame 110, a filter cartridge body 120, a retaining post 130, a snap-in strip 140, a snap-in slot 150, and a fixing plate 160. The mounting frame 110 is mounted on top of the water dispenser housing 300, with the top of the filter cartridge body 120 mounted within the mounting frame 110. A water inlet pipe 111 and a water outlet pipe 112 are connected on both sides of the mounting frame 110. Sealing sleeves 113 are threadedly connected to each of the water inlet and outlet pipes 111 and 112.
[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 A clamping post 130 is threadedly mounted on the front side of the mounting frame 110. A clamping plate 131 is fixedly mounted on one end of the clamping post 130, which abuts against the top front side of the filter element body 120. A rotating cap 132 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the clamping post 130. The outer surface of the rotating cap 132 is provided with anti-slip grooves. By rotating the rotating cap 132, the clamping post 130 is rotated, causing the clamping plate 131 to abut against the top front side of the filter element body 120, thereby securing the filter element body 120.
[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The snap-fitting strip 140 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 110, and the snap-fitting slot 150 is defined on the top surface of the water dispenser housing 300. The snap-fitting strip 140 is slidably secured within the snap-fitting slot 150. The fixing plate 160 is disposed within the water dispenser housing 300, and the bottom of the filter element body 120 is disposed within the fixing plate 160. The fixing plate 160 is provided with fixing holes 161, the number of which matches the number of filter elements. The fixing portion 162 is provided with a socket 164 on one side near the movable portion 163. A rod 165 is provided on one side of the movable portion 163, and the rod 165 engages with the socket 164.
[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 Specifically, the fixing plate 160 is divided into a fixed portion 162 and a movable portion 163, both of which are identical in size. A magnet 166 is provided at the bottom of the socket 164, an iron block 167 is provided at one end of the insertion rod 165, and a grip groove 168 is provided on the front side of the movable portion 163. The combination of the insertion rod 165 and the socket 164 securely connects the fixed portion 162 and the movable portion 163. The attraction between the magnet 166 and the iron block 167 strengthens the connection between the fixed portion 162 and the movable portion 163. The grip groove 168 facilitates gripping the movable portion 163.
[0030] Working Principle: The utility model proposes a water dispenser that is easy to replace the filter element. When in use, the movable portion 163 of the fixing plate 160 is pulled out from the fixing portion 162 and taken out from the interior of the case, thereby releasing the fixation of the filter cartridge at the bottom of the filter element body 120. Then, the mounting frame 110 is pulled out from the interior of the water dispenser case 300, making it easy to disassemble and install the filter element body 120. After the mounting frame 110 is partially pulled out, the abutting column 130 is rotated by rotating the rotating cap 132 to separate the abutting plate 131 from the top of the filter element body 120, releasing the fixation of the filter element body 120. The filter element body 120 can then be removed from the interior of the mounting frame 110, making it easy to clean or replace the filter element body 120. The utility model allows the filter element body 120 to be pulled out from the interior of the water dispenser case 300, making it easy to replace the filter element body 120, and is highly practical.
