DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical scheme of the present utility model will be described below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0029] As Figures 1 to 8As shown, the water system of the RO filter core includes an outer cylinder 7, an RO membrane 8, an RO membrane center pipe 9, and an RO membrane inner center pipe 11; the RO membrane inner center pipe 11 is installed inside the RO membrane center pipe 9, the RO membrane center pipe 9 is installed inside the RO membrane 8, and the RO membrane 8 is installed inside the outer cylinder 7; the lower end of the outer cylinder 7 is provided with a water inlet 31, a clean water outlet 32, and a wastewater outlet 33, and the water inlet 31, the clean water outlet 32, and the wastewater outlet 33 are respectively provided with valve assemblies; the RO membrane inner center pipe 11 is formed with a water channel one 21, and the water inlet 31 is communicated with the water channel one 21; the outer wall of the RO membrane 8 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 7 are formed with a water channel two 22, and the clean water outlet 32 is communicated with the water channel two 22; the outer wall of the RO membrane inner center pipe 11 and the inner wall of the RO membrane center pipe 9 are formed with a water channel three 23, and the water channel three 23 is communicated with the water channel two 22. In this way, the RO membrane 8 uses a double-layer center pipe water channel structure, does not limit the water inlet water channel direction, and allows water to enter from the RO membrane inner center pipe or from the wastewater outlet, thereby reducing the water inlet channel volume, ensuring that a large amount of pure water is stored in the water system of the RO filter core, and preventing the TDS from increasing, thereby ensuring the stability of the water quality.

[0030] More specifically, according to the forward and reverse osmosis of the RO membrane 8, the water channel has two modes:

[0031] Water channel one: water enters the water channel one 21 through the water inlet 31, enters the water channel three 23 after passing through the RO membrane 8, and then flows back to the water channel two 22, and the water is circulated and flows out of the clean water outlet 32 and the wastewater outlet 33;

[0032] Water channel two: water enters the water channel three 23 through the wastewater outlet 33 after passing through the RO membrane 8, and then flows back to the water channel two 22, and the water is circulated and flows out of the clean water outlet 32 and the wastewater outlet 33;

[0033] The utility model reduces the water inlet channel volume, so that the pure water volume in the filter core is much larger than the water inlet volume, and the TDS does not increase after the machine stops running for a short time.

[0034] Furthermore, the lower end of the RO membrane center tube 9 is provided with an opening for facilitating the installation of the RO membrane inner center tube 11, and the upper end of the RO membrane center tube 9 is formed with a baffle 93, the baffle 93 is provided with a center hole 94 that cooperates with the water channel 1 21, and the outer periphery of the center hole 94 is provided with a plurality of water string holes 2 92, and the outer wall of the RO membrane center tube 9 is provided with a plurality of water string holes 1 91. With this arrangement, during assembly, the RO membrane inner central tube 11 is assembled into the RO membrane inner central tube 9 through the opening, and the outlet of the RO membrane inner central tube 11 (or the outlet of the water channel 1 21 ) cooperates with the central hole 94 , so that water flows through the water channel 1 21 into the water channel 2 22 . Specifically, the water in the water channel 2 22 passes through the RO membrane 8 and then enters the water channel 3 23 through the multiple water string holes 1 91 . The water in the water channel 3 23 returns to the water channel 2 22 after passing through the water string holes 2 92 , and circulates, so that the first cup of water is not contaminated and the TDS does not increase, thereby ensuring the purity and stability of the water quality.

[0035] Specifically, a lower end cap 15 is secured to the lower end of the RO membrane 8, and an upper end cap 14 is secured to the upper end of the RO membrane 8. Upper end cap 14 is provided with a plurality of through-holes 141 that mate with the second water-flow hole 92. This arrangement allows water in the third waterway 23 to flow through the second water-flow hole 92 and then return to the second waterway 22 through the through-holes 141.

[0036] Furthermore, an opening is provided at the upper end of the outer cylinder 7 for facilitating installation of the RO membrane 8 , an outer end cover 16 is detachably mounted on the opening, and a limiting assembly is provided between the outer end cover 16 and the upper end cover 14 .

[0037] Specifically, the limiting assembly includes a limiting groove 161 provided at the center of the inner wall of the outer end cap 16 and a limiting block 142 provided at the center of the outer wall of the upper end cap 14. The limiting block 142 is positioned corresponding to the limiting groove 161. This arrangement prevents the RO membrane 8, the RO membrane central tube 9, and the RO membrane inner central tube 11 from tilting relative to the outer cylinder 7 after assembly, thereby affecting waterway performance.

[0038] Furthermore, a decorative handle 17 is fixed to the outside of the outer end cover 16, and a LOGO identification piece 18 is fixed to the outside of the decorative handle 17. This arrangement facilitates the movement of the RO filter element.

[0039] Specifically, a silicone ring 5 13 is sheathed around the outer wall of the lower end of the RO membrane inner central tube 11, while a silicone ring 4 12 is sheathed around the outer wall of the upper end of the RO membrane inner central tube 11. This arrangement ensures a seal between the lower end of the RO membrane inner central tube 9 and the lower end of the RO membrane inner central tube 11 via the silicone ring 5 13, while the seal between the upper end of the RO membrane inner central tube 9 and the upper end of the RO membrane inner central tube 11 via the silicone ring 4 12 prevents water leakage.

[0040] Further, the water leakage hole 92 is sleeved with a silica gel ring 3 outside. In this way, the upper end of the RO membrane center tube 9 and the upper end cover 14 are sealed to prevent water leakage.

[0041] Further, the lower end cover 15 is sleeved with a silica gel ring 6 outside. In this way, the lower end cover 15 and the outer cylinder 7 are sealed to prevent water leakage.

[0042] Further, the valve assembly comprises the ultrasonic cover 1, the water cut-off fitting 4 and the water cut-off piece 5. The water cut-off piece 5 is sleeved with a silica gel ring 6 outside. The lower end of the water cut-off piece 5 is located in the water cut-off fitting 4. The water cut-off fitting 4 is provided with a spring 3. The spring 3 is sleeved on the lower end of the water cut-off piece 5. The two ends of the spring 3 abut against the water cut-off piece 5 and the water cut-off fitting 4 respectively. The ultrasonic cover 1 is fixed on the outer cylinder 7. The ultrasonic cover 1 and the water cut-off fitting 4 are provided with a silica gel ring 1. In this way, when the upper end of the water cut-off piece 5 is lifted to be separated from the water cut-off fitting 4, the spring 3 is compressed, and the water path is opened. When the water cut-off piece 5 is not forced, the spring 3 is reset under the rebound force, and the water path is closed.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application are described above in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above specific embodiments. The above specific embodiments are only illustrative, but not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many forms under the inspiration of the present application without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope protected by the claims. These are all within the protection scope of the present application.
