Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] In order to solve the problem of water overflow caused by disassembling the filter bottle in the existing filtering state, this embodiment discloses a water purifier, which includes a filtering device, a water inlet pipe, a water outlet pipe and a drain valve, wherein the water inlet pipe is connected to the water inlet of the filtering device, and the water outlet pipe is connected to the water outlet of the filtering device and the drain valve.

[0053] Among them, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, the filtering device includes a valve assembly, a filtering bottle, a locking assembly and a locking assembly.

[0054] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the valve assembly includes a valve core 11, a first valve body 12, and a second valve body 13. The valve core 11 is disposed within the first valve body 12 and is sealed therewith. The valve core 11 is a hollow structure, and a first through hole 111 and a second through hole 112 are disposed on the sidewall of the valve core 11. The first through hole 111 is disposed near the first end, and the second through hole 112 is disposed near the second end. The first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112 are staggered, specifically, the angle between the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112, when projected axially along the valve core 11, is 180°.

[0055] The first valve body 12 is cylindrical and is provided with a third through hole 121 and a fourth through hole 122. The third through hole 121 is located near the first end, while the fourth through hole 122 is located near the second end. The third through hole 121 and the fourth through hole 122 are offset. Specifically, the angle between the third through hole 121 and the fourth through hole 122, when projected axially along the first valve body 12, is 90°. Specifically, the third through hole 121 is located at the top, while the fourth through hole 122 is located in the middle. When viewed from the first end of the first valve body 12, the third through hole 121 is located at the top, while the fourth through hole 122 is located in the middle on the right side. Rotating the valve core 11 aligns the first through hole 111 with the third through hole 121, but the second through hole 112 and the fourth through hole 122 are not aligned. When the second through hole 112 and the third through hole 121 are aligned, the first through hole 111 and the third through hole 121 are not aligned. When the first through hole 111 and the third through hole 121 form a 180° angle or a 90° angle (when the first through hole 111 is located in the middle of the right side as viewed from the first section), the first through hole 111 and the third through hole 121 are misaligned, and the second through hole 112 and the fourth through hole 122 are misaligned, and the valve assembly is in a closed state. When the first through hole 111 and the third through hole 121 are aligned, and the second through hole 112 and the fourth through hole 122 are misaligned, the valve assembly is in a filtering state, connecting the filter bottle to the water inlet and outlet of the filtration device, meaning that water needs to be filtered through the filter bottle; this state is also the locked position. When the valve core is in other states, the filter bottle cannot connect to the water inlet and outlet of the filtration device; when the first through hole 111 and the third through hole 121 are misaligned, and the second through hole 112 and the fourth through hole 122 are aligned, the valve assembly is in a bypass state, indicating the non-filtering state of the filtration device, which is also the unlocked position.

[0056] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the second valve body 13 is provided with a first valve cavity, wherein the first valve body 12 is disposed within the first valve cavity, with both ends of the first valve body 12 abutting against the inner wall of the first valve cavity. A separator ring is provided outwardly from the middle portion of the first valve body 12, abutting against the inner wall of the first valve cavity, with a sealing ring disposed between them. The separator ring divides the first valve cavity into a first intermediate chamber 124 and a second intermediate chamber 125. The third through-hole 121 communicates with the first intermediate chamber 124, and the fourth through-hole 122 communicates with the second intermediate chamber 125. A first flow channel 113 is provided on the second valve body 13. It is located at the first end of the second valve body 13 and communicates with the cavity of the valve core 11. Raw water flows through the first flow channel 113 into the valve core 11, then flows through the first and second through-holes 111 and 112 into the first intermediate chamber 124, or flows through the second and fourth through-holes 112 into the second intermediate chamber 125.

[0057] The second valve body 13 comprises a first cylindrical structure and a second cylindrical structure. The first cylindrical structure is disposed within the second cylindrical structure. The first valve chamber and the first flow channel 113 are disposed within the first cylindrical structure. The portion between the second and first cylindrical structures defines a third intermediate chamber 133. A second flow channel 132 is disposed within the third valve body, connecting the second intermediate chamber 125 and the third intermediate chamber 133. When viewed from the first end, the second flow channel 132 is located to the left of the center.

[0058] The filter bottle is connected to the valve assembly; specifically, it includes a housing 21 and a filter element disposed within the housing 21. Specifically, the chamber within the housing 21 of the filter bottle serves as a filter chamber. A third flow channel 223 and a fourth flow channel 224 surrounding the third flow channel 223 are located in the center of the filter element. A sixth flow channel 221 is formed between the housing 21 and the filter element. A first mounting hole 135 is provided in the second valve body 13, facing the third flow channel 223. A one-way valve 23 is mounted within the first mounting hole 135.

[0059] A bottom chamber 134 is provided at the bottom of the second valve body 13. The filter bottle is mounted at the bottom of the second valve body 13, with the bottom chamber 134 covering the top of the filter element. Water within the bottom chamber 134 can enter the sixth flow channel 221 and the fourth flow channel 224, where it is filtered by the filter element before flowing into the third flow channel 223 and into the third intermediate chamber 133 through the one-way valve 23. A fifth flow channel 131 is provided between the first intermediate chamber 124 and the third intermediate chamber 133. Water within the first intermediate chamber 124 can flow through the fifth flow channel 131 into the bottom chamber 134, where it is filtered and then flows out through the second intermediate chamber 125.

[0060] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and 3 The valve body assembly further includes a connecting member 18 disposed at the first end of the second valve body 13. The connecting member 18 is provided with an inlet flow channel 181 and an outlet flow channel 182, wherein the inlet flow channel 181 is connected to the first flow channel 113, and the outlet flow channel 182 is connected to the third intermediate chamber 133.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, in the filtering state, that is, in the locked position, the first through hole 111 and the third through hole 121 are aligned, and the raw water enters the first flow channel 113 from the water inlet channel 181, and then enters the first intermediate chamber 124 through the first through hole 111 and the third through hole 121, and flows into the bottom chamber 134 through the fifth flow channel 131, and then is filtered by the filter element, enters the third intermediate chamber 133 through the one-way valve 23, and flows out through the water outlet channel 182.

[0062] In the bypass state, that is, in the unlocked position, the second through hole 112 and the fourth through hole 122 are aligned, and the raw water enters the first flow channel 113 from the water inlet channel 181, then enters the second intermediate chamber 125 through the second through hole 112 and the fourth through hole 122, and enters the third intermediate chamber 133 through the second flow channel 132, and flows out through the water outlet channel 182.

[0063] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and 3 The filter device further includes a housing 19, wherein the second valve body 13 is disposed in the housing 19. The top, left and right sides, and second end of the valve assembly are all covered by the housing 19.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 The locking assembly is used to lock the filter bottle and the valve assembly, and unlocking the locking assembly can release the lock of the filter bottle and the valve assembly; specifically, the locking assembly includes a first locking piece and a second locking piece 3; wherein, the first locking piece is arranged on the filter bottle, specifically on the shell 21, and the first locking piece is provided on both sides of the shell 21, wherein the first locking piece is provided with a locking protrusion for cooperating with the second locking piece 3.

[0065] The second locking member 3 is movably mounted on the valve assembly. It includes a locking portion 31. When the second locking member 3 is moved to a first predetermined position, the locking portion 31 engages with the first locking member to lock the filter bottle and the valve assembly. Specifically, the second locking member 3 is rotatably connected to the valve assembly, specifically to the left and right sides of the second valve body 13. The locking portion 31 is an arcuate groove on the second locking member 3. Rotation of the second locking member 3 allows the locking protrusion to enter the arcuate groove, locking the filter bottle and the valve assembly. The second locking member 3 includes two side surfaces, located on the left and right sides of the housing 19, and connecting end surfaces connected to the two side surfaces. A handle 32 is provided on the second locking member 3, connected to the bottom of the end surface. The handle 32 is located at the second end of the valve assembly. The handle 32 facilitates lifting the second locking member 3 to disengage the locking protrusion from the arcuate groove, releasing the lock on the filter bottle and facilitating filter cartridge replacement.

[0066] Although the second locking member 3 is rotatably connected to the valve assembly in this embodiment, this is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, in other embodiments, the second locking member 3 may be slidably disposed on the valve assembly, specifically, on the left and right sides of the second valve body 13, and may be movable horizontally or in a horizontally upwardly inclined direction. Furthermore, a strip groove is formed on the locking portion 31, into which the locking protrusion slides to lock the filter bottle. After the second locking member 3 is removed, the locking protrusion is no longer restricted, thereby releasing the lock on the filter bottle.

[0067] Reference Figure 2 、 6 7, the locking assembly includes a locking member 41, which is in driving connection with the valve core 11. The locking member 41 drives the valve core to switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. In the locked position, the filter chamber is connected to the external water source, and the locking member 41 locks the locking assembly, preventing it from being unlocked. Specifically, the locking member 41 can only lock the second locking member 3 after the second locking member 3 moves to the first preset position. The locking member 41 is specifically a locking rod, and the locking assembly is locked and unlocked by moving the locking rod up and down.

[0068] The valve assembly includes a driver 15 connected to the valve core 11. Driver 15 is provided with a protrusion 151. When the filter device is in the filtering state, driver 15 rotates until protrusion 151 abuts against locking member 41, causing locking member 41 to lock the locking assembly. Driver 15 is specifically a cam structure, with protrusion 151 being its most protruding portion. The second end of the valve core 11 is connected to a connecting shaft 16, on which a cam is mounted.

[0069] The locking assembly also includes a first elastic member 42. In the unlocked position, the first elastic member 42 is used to drive the locking member 41 toward the driving member 15 to release the locking assembly. Specifically, the first elastic member 42 is a compression spring and is mounted on the locking member 41. The locking member 41 is provided with a stopper 43. The ends of the first elastic member 42 abut the valve assembly and the stopper 43, respectively, so that the first elastic member 42 can drive the locking member 41 to release the locking assembly. A support member 14 is connected to the second valve body 13, wherein the support member 14 is located at the second end of the second valve body 13. The locking rod is slidably mounted on the support member 14, and the bottom end of the first elastic member 42 abuts the support member 14. The second locking member 3 is provided with a locking groove 33. When the locking member 41 is partially inserted into the locking groove 33, the second locking member 3 is locked. Specifically, the locking groove 33 is located on the inner side of the end surface of the second locking member 3. The bottom of the locking rod is inserted into the locking groove 33 by the cam protrusion 151, thereby locking the second locking member 3 and preventing it from moving and unlocking. After the cam protrusion 151 is removed, the bottom of the locking rod is disengaged from the locking groove 33 by the first elastic member 42, thereby releasing the lock on the second locking member 3 and allowing it to move, thereby unlocking the filter bottle.

[0070] The valve assembly also includes a knob 17, which is connected to the valve core 11. Specifically, the knob 17 is connected to a cam. Knob 17, via the cam and connecting shaft 16, can drive the valve core 11 to rotate. Specifically, rotating knob 17 switches the state of the valve assembly, specifically the positions of the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112, thereby switching the water flow state of the valve assembly. Furthermore, rotating knob 17 switches the position of protrusion 151. Specifically, when the valve assembly is in the state of supplying water to the filter bottle, that is, in the locked position, protrusion 151 abuts against the locking rod, thereby locking the second locking member 3. This prevents accidental removal of the filter bottle during filtration, which could result in water overflow.

[0071] like Figure 2 、 8 As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the valve assembly also includes a drive motor 50 and a transmission assembly. The output end of the drive motor 50 is connected to the valve core 11 through the transmission assembly. The drive motor 50 is used to drive the valve core 11 to rotate to change the state of the valve assembly and can switch the position of the protrusion 151. Specifically, the transmission assembly includes an output gear and a transmission wheel 51. The output end of the drive motor 50 is provided with an output gear. The transmission wheel 51 is rotatably provided on the connecting shaft 16 of the valve core 11, wherein the connecting shaft 16 includes two sections, which are fixedly connected, wherein the first section is connected to the knob 17, and the second section is connected to the valve core 11. The transmission wheel 51 is a gear, and the output gear and the transmission wheel 51 are connected through an intermediate gear. The drive motor 50 is specifically a servo motor or a stepper motor. By controlling the rotation angle of the drive motor 50, the rotation angle of the valve core 11 can be controlled, thereby controlling the state of the valve assembly.

[0072] The transmission assembly and the valve core 11 are connected by a clutch, and pressing the knob 17 can disengage the clutch from the transmission assembly; when the drive motor 50 is powered off or fails, turning the knob 17 can switch the state of the valve assembly and the position of the protrusion 151.

[0073] Specifically, the second section of the connecting shaft 16 can drive the valve core 11 to rotate and can move axially relative to the valve core 11.
