[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0030] An embodiment of the present application provides a water purifier, which includes a water pump and a water pulse mitigation structure 100. The water pump is connected to the water pulse mitigation structure 100. Specifically, the water outlet pipe of the water pump is connected to the water pulse mitigation structure 100. The water pulse mitigation structure 100 is used to buffer the water pressure pumped out by the water pump.
[0031] It should be noted that one end of the water pulse reduction structure 100 is connected to the water pump and the other end is connected to the water outlet structure, which can be a faucet or other device. In actual use, the water pulse reduction structure 100 reduces the pressure of the water pump's booster pump and directs the reduced water flow to the outlet structure, significantly reducing water flow fluctuations at the outlet, thereby reducing noise during normal use of the water purifier.
[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The water pulse mitigation structure 100 includes a pipe assembly 1 and a buffer assembly 2. The pipe assembly 1 includes a main pipe 11 and an outer shell 12. The outer shell 12 is connected to the main pipe 11. A flow channel 111 is provided inside the main pipe 11. The flow channel 111 has a water inlet 112 and a water outlet 113. A buffer chamber 121 is provided inside the outer shell 12. The buffer chamber 121 is connected to the flow channel 111. The buffer assembly 2 is provided in the buffer chamber 121. The buffer assembly 2 is used to buffer water pressure. In actual applications, the water inlet 112 of the flow channel 111 is used to connect to a water pump, and the water outlet 113 of the flow channel 111 is used to connect to a water outlet structure. The water pump guides pressurized water from the water inlet 112 into the flow channel 111, and then guides it to the buffer chamber 121. The buffer assembly 2 in the buffer chamber 121 buffers the water flow, reduces the pressure of the water flow, and thus reduces the fluctuation of the water pressure. The buffered water flow is then discharged from the water outlet 113 to the water outlet structure.
[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 , for the convenience of description, Figure 2 Where X represents the axial direction, and Y represents the radial direction; a buffer channel 21 is opened inside the buffer component 2, and the buffer channel 21 is connected to the water inlet 112 and the water outlet 113 respectively. Along the radial direction Y of the main pipe 11, the buffer component 2 is respectively in contact with the outer shell 12 and the main pipe 11, and at least part of the material of the buffer component 2 is elastic material.
[0034] In actual application, the water flow pumped out by the water pump enters the buffer channel 21 from the water inlet 112. Since at least part of the material of the buffer component 2 is elastic, the buffer component 2 is elastic. Preferably, the location of the buffer component 2 where the buffer channel 21 is opened is made of elastic material. When the water flow enters the buffer channel 21, the water flow generates a certain water pressure on the inner wall of the buffer channel 21. Under this water pressure, the buffer component 2 elastically deforms, and the buffer channel 21 expands outward, thereby increasing the diameter of the buffer channel 21, so that the water pressure in the buffer channel 21 is reduced, reducing the flow rate of the water flow, and achieving the effect of buffering the water pressure. When the water pressure is low, the buffer component 2 returns to its original state under the action of its own elasticity. At this time, the buffer component 2 squeezes the water flow in the buffer channel 21, thereby increasing the flow rate and pressure of the water flow, so that it can be smoothly guided to the water outlet structure. The buffer assembly 2 is respectively in contact with the outer shell and the main pipe 11, thereby fixing the buffer assembly 2 and preventing the buffer assembly 2 from being separated from the main pipe 11 when the water pressure is too high, thereby causing the buffer channel 21 to be separated from the flow channel 111; and this method makes the installation and replacement of the buffer assembly 2 more convenient.
[0035] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the buffer component 2 can also be fixed in the buffer cavity 121 by welding or other methods, which can enhance the connection sealing between the buffer component 2 and the main pipeline 11. This application does not limit this.
[0036] Compared with the prior art, the water pulse mitigation structure 100 of the present application adopts a buffer component 2, which is respectively in contact with the outer shell 12 and the main pipe 11, so that the buffer component 2 is fixed in the buffer cavity 121. No additional connectors are required to fix the buffer component 2, thus saving production costs. At least part of the material of the buffer component 2 is elastic. When water flows through the buffer channel 21, due to the elastic effect of the buffer component 2 itself, the buffer component 2 can reduce the water pressure in the buffer channel 21 through elastic deformation under high water pressure, thereby achieving the effect of relieving water pressure and reducing water fluctuations. When the water pressure is low, the water flow rate is increased through its own elastic recovery function, thereby achieving the effect of smoothly guiding the water flow to the water outlet structure. The water purifier using this device greatly reduces the noise during normal operation of the water purifier through the buffering effect of the water pulse mitigation structure 100, thereby improving the user comfort.
[0037] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The buffer component 2 can be cylindrical, with a buffer channel 21 opened inside, and the material of the buffer component 2 is elastic material or rubber material. With this arrangement, the buffer component 2 can withstand greater water pressure, the buffer component 2 is not easily broken by the water flow, and the service life is extended.
[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 , for the convenience of description, Figure 4 Where X represents the axial direction, and Y represents the radial direction. The buffer assembly 2 is provided with a plurality of buffer holes 22, which are connected to the buffer channel 21. Since the buffer assembly 2 is secured along the radial direction Y of the main pipe 11 by abutting against the outer shell 12 and the main pipe 11, respectively, the buffer assembly 2 is relatively thick along the radial direction Y. The presence of multiple buffer holes 22 in the buffer assembly 2 effectively reduces the effect of the thickness of the buffer assembly 2 on elastic deformation, making it more susceptible to elastic deformation and facilitating water pressure relief. Furthermore, the buffer holes 22 are connected to the buffer channel 21, expanding the volume of the buffer channel 21 and further reducing water pressure.
[0039] In one embodiment, a plurality of buffer holes 22 can be evenly spaced along the circumference of the buffer component 2, so that the buffer component 2 can deform evenly along its circumference, avoiding inconsistent deformation of various parts of the buffer component 2, which may affect the structural life of the buffer component 2 under long-term use.
[0040] In one embodiment, a plurality of buffer holes 22 may also be evenly spaced along the axial direction of the buffer component 2 , so that the buffer component 2 can deform evenly along its axial direction, and also avoid the situation where different parts of the buffer component 2 are deformed inconsistently.
[0041] In one embodiment, the plurality of buffer holes 22 can be evenly spaced along the circumference and axial directions of the buffer assembly 2. This allows the buffer assembly 2 to deform evenly along its axial and circumferential directions, further preventing inconsistent deformation of the buffer assembly 2 and extending the structural life of the buffer assembly 2.
[0042] See Figure 5 Along the radial direction Y of the main pipe 11, the buffer hole 22 can penetrate the buffer component 2. In this way, the influence of the thickness of the buffer component 2 on the elasticity is further reduced, making the buffer component 2 more susceptible to elastic deformation.
[0043] See again Figure 4 Along the axial direction X of the main pipe 11, the buffer assembly 2 abuts against the outer shell 12. Specifically, both ends of the buffer assembly 2 abut against the outer shell 12 along the axial direction X, further strengthening the fixing effect of the buffer assembly 2 in the buffer cavity 121 and preventing the buffer assembly 2 from being flushed open by excessive water pressure.
[0044] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the outer shell 12 is larger than that of the main pipe 11, and the cross-sectional area of the buffer cavity 121 is larger than that of the flow channel 111. This configuration increases the cross-sectional area of the buffer cavity 121 through which water flows, thereby reducing the water pressure. Furthermore, the buffer cavity 121 provides sufficient installation space for the buffer assembly 2, facilitating its installation.
[0045] See again Figure 4 The main pipe 11 at least partially extends into the buffer channel 21 and abuts against the buffer assembly 2. Since the buffer assembly 2 achieves the fixing function of the buffer assembly 2 by abutting against the main pipe 11 and the outer shell 12 respectively along the radial direction Y of the main pipe 11, the main pipe 11 is at least partially extended into the buffer channel 21 to achieve the abutment function of the main pipe 11 and the buffer assembly 2, while strengthening the connection stability between the main pipe 11 and the buffer assembly 2 and preventing the buffer assembly 2 from being washed away by water flow.
[0046] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, the main pipe 11 includes an inlet pipe 114 and an outlet pipe 115, the inlet pipe 114 has a water inlet 112, and the outlet pipe 115 has a water outlet 113; the outer shell 12 includes a first shell 122 and a second shell 123, the inlet pipe 114 is connected to the first shell 122, the outlet pipe 115 is connected to the second shell 123, and the first shell 122 and the second shell 123 are connected to form a buffer chamber 121.
[0047] Specifically, the main pipe 11 includes an inlet pipe 114 and an outlet pipe 115. The end of the inlet pipe 114 close to the outlet pipe 115 is connected to the first shell 122, and the end of the outlet pipe 115 close to the inlet pipe 114 is connected to the second shell 123. In actual application, the buffer assembly 2 is first placed into the first shell 122 or the second shell 123, and then the first shell 122 and the second shell 123 are connected together to complete the installation of this application. In this way, the structure of this application is simpler, the installation is more convenient and quick, and the production cost is reduced.
[0048] It is understood that the water inlet pipe 114 and the first shell 122 can be made using an integral molding process, and the water outlet pipe 115 and the second shell 123 can be made using an integral molding process, which is more convenient for processing and production. Of course, the water inlet pipe 114 and the first shell 122 can also be connected using other methods, and the water outlet pipe 115 and the second shell 123 can also be connected using other methods, and this application does not limit this.
[0049] In one embodiment, the first shell 122 and the second shell 123 are detachably connected together. Specifically, the first shell 122 and the second shell 123 can be connected by threads or the like, which facilitates replacement of the buffer assembly 2 inside the buffer cavity 121 and extends the service life of the device.
[0050] In one embodiment, the first shell 122 and the second shell 123 are fixedly connected. Specifically, the first shell 122 and the second shell 123 can be fixedly connected by welding or other methods, which can enhance the sealing of the connection and prevent water seepage and leakage.
[0051] Different from the prior art, the water pulse buffering structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a pipeline assembly 1 and a buffering assembly 2. The pipeline assembly 1 includes a main pipeline 11 and an outer shell 12. The outer shell 12 is connected to the main pipeline 11. The main pipeline 11 is internally provided with a flow channel 111 having a water inlet 112 and a water outlet 113. The outer shell 12 is internally provided with a buffering cavity 121 which is in communication with the flow channel 111. The buffering assembly 2 is arranged in the buffering cavity 121 and is used for buffering water pressure. The buffering assembly 2 is internally provided with a buffering channel 21 which is in communication with the water inlet 112 and the water outlet 113, respectively. The buffering assembly 2 abuts against the outer shell 12 and the main pipeline 11 in the radial direction Y of the main pipeline 11. At least part of the material of the buffering assembly 2 is of an elastic material. Compared with the prior art, the water pulse buffering structure 100 of the present application uses the buffering assembly 2 which abuts against the outer shell 12 and the main pipeline 11 to realize the fixation of the buffering assembly 2 in the buffering cavity 121. At least part of the material of the buffering assembly 2 is of an elastic material. When water flows through the buffering channel 21, the buffering assembly 2 can reduce the water pressure in the buffering channel 21 by elastic deformation under the condition of large water pressure due to the elastic effect of the buffering assembly 2, thereby realizing the effect of relieving water pressure and reducing water fluctuation. Under the condition of small water pressure, the buffering assembly 2 can improve the water flow rate by the self-elastic recovery function, thereby realizing the effect of smoothly guiding water flow to the water outlet structure. The water purifier using the device greatly reduces the noise of the water purifier during normal operation by the buffering effect of the water pulse buffering structure 100, thereby improving the use comfort.
[0052] The above description is merely a specific implementation of the present application. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, which should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
